Hello again! Sorry about this chapter being a little late, I took a one day break so I could plan ahead in my mind. And my sister was watching many One tree Hill episodes and I don't really watch that show but when it's playing in the back round you can't really help but turn around and start watching it, hehehe. Even with planning ahead I ran into a couple road blocks, so I had to karate chop those down before I could continue this fic. Lol. Enjoy!

I don't own Sailor Moon.

Chapter 8: Happiness

Serena was fairly amused the next time she awoke, how many times did you wake up in the same bed with five gorgeous men anyway? Darien had a arm wrapped around her waist and the generals were lying close beside them. Serena chose to lie still, she was pretty sure that she'd been injured yesterday.

There was a curious tingling around her back as if there was a golden energy surrounding it. Carefully wiggling out of Endymion's embrace she was surprised to find she felt no pain in her back at all. She sat up slowly, afraid that any moment now her back would start screaming at her again.

She slid out of the bed and set her feet on the ground and was astounded that she could indeed stand on her own. A little giddy at this idea she jumped up and down a few times and let out a laugh. She quickly shut her mouth when she realized Darien and the generals were still sleeping.

She practically gushed over them wishing she a had camera. They all looked like little boys when they were asleep and all of them collapsed on the same bed, it was to good a picture to pass up. Sadly, she didn't have a camera with her, but she was sure the guys wouldn't appreciate being called adorably cute when they were asleep.

Serena crept quietly out of the room eager to see the rest of the house. But she stopped in dismay as she saw that Darien's cloths that she'd been wearing were covered in blood and were more than a little dirty. Wow, I must've been hurt pretty badly, she thought. That made her wonder how she could possibly be standing up and walking right now, but she wasn't about to question or complain. She set off to see if she could find Darien's room and a bathroom so she could shower and change.

The house was HUMUNGOUSE! Serena was pretty sure it was one of the houses that you passed by every day and you think, 'Damn I wish I could live in that!' Ok, so maybe it wasn't that big, but it was definitely twice the size of her house. It was big enough to have loads of space, but small enough so you didn't feel like you were walking around in a confusing maze.

Serena walked into the front hall which again was big, and walked up the grand looking staircase. Her small feet sank into the plush white carpet that cover the stairs and all of the rooms upstairs. Picking a door at random she opened it and stepped in cautiously. Serena knew instantly that she'd guess right and this was Darien's room.

The walls were painted a dark blue, the comforter and sheet on his bed were either black or a very dark blue. She recognized the bookcase from his apartment which she was glad that he moved, because it wouldn't have survived the yoma attack. There were two other doors, so she picked at random again, and she walked into the bathroom.

Serena immediately tossed off her dirty clothes and jumped into the shower, and sighed with content as hot water was soon spraying over her head. She washed thoroughly and was astonished to find her back no longer held any injuries. Yes, there were criss crossing white scars on her back, but the injury was gone! Serena felt like jumping for joy again, but she knew doing it in a wet shower wouldn't be the best idea.

She got out of the shower and went rummaging through Darien's drawers looking for something to where. She was able to fit into a pair of his jeans that hung baggily on her. She had to use one of his belts to keep them from falling off her hips. She slipped one of his white t-shirts that stubbornly kept slipping off one shoulder, but she felt clean at last. She inhaled Darien's scent from the shirt and felt at peace.

Walking back to the bedroom on the first floor that she'd left the five of them in she saw that they were still very much dead asleep. She walked into the of course huge kitchen and saw on a clock that it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Geeze, even I've never slept in that late.

They had to wake up soon, and she knew that they were going to be very hungry. Guys were always hungry and when they ate they ate a lot, she knew from the many family reunions she'd gone to. So Serena decided to make something up for them. Contrary to popular belief she could actually cook. Maybe not a lot of things, but she knew the basics at least.

Serena opened the refrigerator and saw that it was in fact jam packed with food. She began to pulling out things that she thought she would need. For the next hour and a half she made huge sub sandwiches for them. She had to guess at what they would like, but she made sure to put everything on them. They sandwiches were definitely over stuffed and she had no doubt that the guys would like them. When it got a little hot as the day went one Serena folded the shirt under itself so that it now ended a couple inches under her bust line she secured it there with a hair band she always kept on her wrist.

Serena had an affinity for making breakfast foods, so she made that as well. She took two entire egg cartons and made scrambled eggs with cheese. Knowing guys loved their meat she made bacon and sausages as well. She never drank it, but she knew that Darien did so she made coffee too.

She was just finishing up when she heard the first moan from the bedroom, which wasn't that far form the kitchen. Malachite walked in holding his head and squinting at the relentless sun that poured through the windows. Serena poured him a cup of coffee and handed it to him.

"Have a good sleep?"

"I think so," he said looking around at the kitchen. His widened a little bit, but he smiled as he saw all of the food on the table.

"Take your pick, I just used whatever I could get my hands on." Serena said gesturing toward the table.

"This is a relief, I was afraid one of us would have to make it after last night. Thank you Princess," he said.

"Serena," she corrected.

"I'm sorry, Serena. I must get used to your civilian name." he said with a sigh. He took another sip of the coffee Serena had given him and she could tell he felt instantly better. Coffee works wonders for people who've just woken up, Serena thought.

She heard someone else get up and stumble out of the bedroom into the kitchen and it was a very bedraggled looking Jadeite.

"I smelled food," he said looking sleepily at Serena. She handed him a cup of coffee which he took gratefully and when he saw all of the food on the table and smiled at her, "You're a life saver Serena."

Serena smiled very pleased with herself. Malachite and Jadeite were soon at the table devouring the food like she thought they would. They might just eat it all, she thought in dismay. She'd fixed herself a plate earlier, but she should wake up the other three so they could get food as well.

She went back into the dark room and relentlessly poked the other three until they were groggily awake.

"What is it Serena?" Darien moaned trying to get back to sleep.

"Sheese, now I know what my mother goes through every morning. Let me put it plain and simple for the three of you. There is in fact food out there, but I can't stop Malachite and Jadeite eating it all, so you guys better get up if you want any."

She walked away from the room three pairs of sleepy eyes staring after her. The three of them did get out of bed, and staggered into the kitchen like Malachite and Jadeite had. Darien frankly couldn't believe his eyes. Serena had actually made them food, and all of it looked edible.

As she came up and handed a cup of coffee he said, "Well I'm impressed Meatball Head,"

Serena smiled and pushed him towards the table he sat down gratefully and dug into the food surrounding him. Serena felt very happy that they devoured her food without pause, it made her feel extremely good about herself.

When they'd finally finished after another batch of eggs and bacon, Serena wondered if even she had ever eaten that much. They sat at the table looking full and content, Serena being pulling dishes off the table and dumping them into the sink.

"So, my back is now fully and completely healed," Serena pointed out, "You guys wouldn't have anything to do with that now would you?"

"If we said we did then will you cook breakfast everyday?" Jadeite asked. That received laughs form all around.

"I was going to take up that job anyway," she said sitting down at the table with them.

"How's your back today?" Zoicite asked.

"It's basically fine, just a little sore form moving around though," Serena admitted. Her back did feel a little sore, but at least it wasn't killing her anymore.

"That's good, you just have to take it easy for a few days." Darien said standing up.

"Why, don't you go show her, her new room Darien," Nephrite said taking one last sip of coffee.

"My new room?" Serena asked perplexed Darien led her away before she could crack anymore questions.

"Darien," she whined as they climbed the stairs, "What are they talking about?" he asked again.

Darien only smiled and led her down the hallway to a door she hadn't looked into to. Darien put her hands over her eyes and she groaned she hated surprises. You were always thinking about what it was, and you kept wondering until your head was about to explode.

"C'mon Darien," she said.

"OK, ok Serena." he said taking his hands away form her eyes. Serena opened them and they grew twice as wide. The first thing she notice were the walls. At the far left side of the room there was a huge sun painted, that seemed so vibrant that it seemed to glow off of the wall. Halfway around the room a sunset was painted onto the walls with vibrant colors of purple, red, yellows, and oranges. The sunset faded and the other half of the walls were painted black with glow in the dark stars Darien had put on the walls. Across the room from the sun a moon was painted on the wall and it seemed to glow silver.

Darien had gotten her a queen size canopy bed (she'd always secretly wanted one) with the drapes and everything. The drapes her a dark blue and the comforter had little moons and stars all over it. Sitting on the bed beside the pillows was a huge bunny plushy. Which immediately had Serena squealing in delight as she ran over and snatched it up, hugging it fiercely.

"Ooooooohhhhhhhhhh Darien! Thank you! Thank you so much!" She said. She suddenly dropped the plushy back on the bed then launched herself at Darien instead. He caught her and was able to keep on his feet, but at the cost of all the air going out of him.

"Your welcome Serena." he said.

"It's like one of those dream rooms that you only see in the catalogues," she said moving around to gush over her new room. She paused, "But Darien, you must've spent a lot of money on this room."

"Don't worry Serena I'm very well off. Spending money doesn't mean a thing to me, just as long as you like the room,"

"I LOVE the room Darien!" she said jumping up and down hugging the bunny again. Darien just smiled, as long a she was happy, she found that he was even happier.

Darien and the generals gave Serena a tour of the rest of the house. The generals being boys had all of the latest entertainment any guy would want (including a large television set), Serena eventually asked Jadeite what he'd told her parents.

"I told them that you were kidnapped and Darien went on an expedition to get you back. We haven't been able to locate your captors yet so we were moving you to a much safer location." Jadeite said. "See it's quite simple, and easy to remember. I told your family they might also want to be careful incase your captors come after them."

"They wouldn't go after my parents would they?" Serena asked horrified.

"We can't really tell. We can send them away on some vacation until all of this is over if it would make you feel better."

Serena nodded. If her family was far away from this mess, she would feel that they were much safer. They were all sitting in the living room when the door bell rang, Serena opted to go get it. Of course that was immediately stopped by Nephrite, much to Serena's disappointment.

"Why not?" Serena whined.

"What if you opened the door and you happened to be standing face-to-face with a yoma, then what do you think would happen," Nephrite said crossing his arms over his chest.

"Do you really think that a yoma would bother using the door?" Serena asked. That made Nephrite pause to think about it, but while the two of them were standing off Jadeite walked in between them and opened the door.

"There is a cat standing on our front porch." Jadeite said somewhat perplexed.

"Serena! What are you doing in a house with the four generals of the Negaverse!" came Luna's loud authoritive voice. Serena winced at the tone then saw Luna run past Jadeite into the front hall.

"Hi, Luna." Serena said tentatively, but then she felt extremely sad. The girls had decided with Luna and Artemis that she wasn't fit to be leader. Luna had always disapproved of a lot of things that Serena had done.

"Well, Serena answer my question. We're worried sick about you and I find you here conspiring, no living with the enemy." she snapped. By now the other generals and Darien had joined them and were staring at Luna.

"You never told me that you had a talking cat Serena," Darien said from behind her.

"She's awfully bossy," Malachite observed.

"Well, Serena?" Luna demanded.

"Luna… you see…I um healed them. They're normal now." Serena said trying to find the words to tell Luna.

"I've never seen you heal anybody since I gave you your transformation broach Serena, you don't possess that kind of power." Luna scoffed. Serena felt the jab hit her deep, even now Luna didn't fully approve of her.

"Don't say those kinds of things to Serena," Darien said jumping to her defense.

"We are here," Zoicite said with exaggerated slowness, none of them liked the cat. How could she appoint herself as the Princess's guardian, and not recognize the Princess when she was standing right in front of her. Zoicite continued, "To serve and protect Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom."

"Since her former guardians seemed some what lax in their duties." Nephrite pointed out lightly.

"So why don't you leave and think about who Princess Serenity actually is." Malachite said picking Luna up-who was still in shock- and put her back outside.

"Wait! Luna tell the girls I want to see them!" Serena called out before Malachite closed the door.

"Are you sure Serena?" Darien asked placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Yes, I may not like what they did, but they deserve to know and I do miss them." Serena said trying to hide her hurt.

"We'll, accompany you Serena," Nephrite said. Serena was about to protest, but they insisted.

"Alright then, we'll visit the scouts tomorrow." Serena said waiting for that moment, but dreading it at the same time.
