Chapter 15 Eep! #3

"Eep!"

Hanging from the doorway, an innocent sprig of green and a cassette tape twirled slowly above them. The tape instantly gave away the cause of the mistletoe to Serena.

'Mina! I am so going to kill/worship you when this is over!' Serena thought.

She shot Mina a glare. Mina responded with a wink and a whoop. Darien meanwhile was in a quandary. He had always wanted a chance at what this mistletoe offered him, however he was sure Serena would hate him for it. He had no idea why a cassette tape was hanging with the mistletoe, but he was sure that it had something to do with Serena.

"Serena…"

Serena turned around to find a hesitant Darien.

"If you don't want to it's fine."

Serena didn't know what to say or do. In the background her friends were cheering and whistling. She wanted him to kiss her, but at the same time she didn't. Simultaneously her heart starting pounding, his pulse sped. She was about to opened her mouth to reply…

…when a piercing scream rang out. The girls looked at each other. Youma. Serena breathed a sigh of relief and regret.

"I have to go Darien, bye!"

The rest of the girls raced out with their excuses. The guys and Rita were left to wonder what was going on.


Serena and the girls were transformed into the senshi and fought the Youma. It was a wire youma that electrocuted people with its wires.

"How dare you electrocute people! In the name of justice, I, Sailor Moon, will defeat you!"

The wire youma merely laughed and shot out its wires toward her. The wire barely missed her, hitting the ground and the electricity sizzled a hole in the ground. She yelped.

"Sailor Moon, look out!"

A wire had snaked behind her and almost grabbed her when suddenly she was flying. She opened her eyes to find Tuxedo Kamen was holding her. He set her down and nodded. Serena sent her tiara flying.

"Moon Tiara!"

The youma was moon dusted and the senshi limped toward them. Tuxedo Kamen leapt away before Serena could thank him, as always.


Darien felt a piercing headache sear through his head. He stumbled out the door and mumbled his goodbye, the world turning hazy around him. He made it just in time to an abandoned alley; hands clasped to his head, and fell into the unending black hole. When he next awakened, he was Tuxedo Kamen. He got up and leapt to where he could feel the pull of Sailor Moon.


After the battle Darien headed to his apartment, tired. Arriving in his bedroom he paused to stare into a sliver of a moon before lying onto his bed and immediately falling asleep, his transformation falling away.


Serena sighed wistfully. She had two crushes. Both were very mysterious and it seemed impossible for any future relationship, other than her present relationships, to develop. Darien Shields didn't like her at all. In fact, they hated each other. Or at least he did. She felt the opposite of hatred. Tuxedo Kamen was her protector and wouldn't be anything else for her.

She looked into the moon of the night sky before diving and snuggling into her bed, content that for that night, she would be dreaming of certain men and a special kiss that she had missed.
