KISSING YOU
Chapter 3
Daydreaming was a skill not to be taken lightly. It was an art. Serena sat in her class. It was a Tuesday. She was surprised that as a guest, Darien, was asked to sub Ms. Haruna class, since she was his prize pupil, when he went to school here. Darien Shield, TA, what a surprise. It had been about a few weeks into their secret love affair now. Darien would just work some morning classes to help out Ms. Haruna, since he was in college, but had afternoon classes mostly.
Serena hated lying to him, when she had to jet off to deal with a monster, or Zoisite. After Jadeite and Nephrite's death, the third general was now in charge of gathering human energy and getting the ginzuisho, powerful silver crystal. All the girls in class, spent their time drooling instead of taking notes. Serena smiled, if they only knew the truth. Flashes of Darien's apartment, the things that went on. Serena moaned and fell from her chair, causing the class to erupt in laughter. Darien shook his head.
"Serena, you okay!" Serena got up and sat in her seat straighter.
"Huh?"
"Is there something more interesting in that head of yours rather than this Math problem, Meatball Head?" The class laughed again.
"Uh, no. Sorry, sir."
"Good, then you won't mind coming up to the board and helping me out." Serena sighed. Though as cute as he looked in front of her class teaching, he was annoying, always making her get infront and prove how stupid she is some times. Though he makes for it after everyone is gone and the doors are closed.
"No thank you. I think it would be best for another poor soul to be showed a fool today."
"I'm not asking, Serena." Serena stood up and walked to the board. She took the chalk from Darien's hand. "Stop drooling about last night and pay attention," he whispered to her.
"I would! If it wasn't so much fun." Darien cleared his throat.
"Now, let's go through this step by step. You are getting this if it's the last thing I do."
Class was dismissed, much to the dislike of the girls in the class. Serena slowly packed up her things.
"Serena, can I speak to you." Darien was handing out to papers to every passing student. "Just sit and wait a minute." Amy and Mina looked at her. Lita shook her finger at Serena.
"Told you to wake up." Amy said nuding her. Serena rolled her eyes and took a seat.
"I swear, you should bring a pillow and sofa with all the time you spend in detention," Mina said.
"Ha, Ha! I'll catch up with you girls later."
"Okay." They all walked out. Darien looked down the hall before closing the door to the classroom. Serena smiled and quickly stood up to kiss him. Darien lifted her to the desk, before pulling away.
"Office." Serena nodded. Darien sneaked her to the room and locked the door behind him. Clothes flew in every direction, making love on the couch. Serena smiled as she laid on Darien's chest.
"Don't you have another class to teach?"
"Don't you have another class to go to?"
"Ahh...touche." Darien sat up and pulled to lay more on him. "Serena, you're slipping."
"I just fell out of my chair, not a problem."
"That's the third time you dazed off and fell from your chair in the last week."
"Sorry, but the memories of moments like this are much more important and intriguing."
"Intriguing, who talk you that word?"
"I read your paper. Your professor wrote, your findings were rather intriguing." Darien smiled and kissed her.
"Still, you are..."
"What are you saying?"
"I fear I might be a major distraction to you now and I..."
"Darien?" Darien rubbed her lower back and hips. All of a sudden, her watch beeped. "I better go."
"Okay, but we are talking later."
"About what?"
"From the moment I become TA, I should have...I should have confined what we do to my place, and not brought it here. The rules are clear and I have stepped way beyond them."
"Pardon the rules, Darien. But you weren't so concerned with those rules 10 minutes ago, or how about yesterday or a week ago! As I see you, you were screaming my name in pure ecstasy."
She sat up pulling back her clothes.
"Serena, wait a..." Darien sat up behind her.
"Don't even! Don't start with that too young crap! And I don't care how unprofessional this is, I thought we loved each other. I thought we understood each other and our needs." Darien wrapped his arms around her to stop her.
"Wait, okay. I don't mean that we have to stop this. I don't want to stop loving you. I just don't think it's a great idea to make love to you here, while at school."
"Why not? It's fun!"
"It's a distraction for you."
"I'm a big girl, I can handle it."
"You can't. I can tell you aren't. So, as the older one in this relationship, it has to stop here, okay. NO MORE."
"You treat me like a child!"
"Because you are in some ways!" Serena gasped. "I didn't mean that..."
"No, you did!" She got dressed. " We should stop! Just stop it all!"
"No, Serena, you know that's not what.."
"Well, it's what I'm saying!" She went to the door. Darien barely had his shirt and boxers on. "Good day Darien, I mean, Mr. Chiba." She slammed the door behind her. Darien stood in his an open shirt and boxers. He ran his hand through his head.
"Great job, Chiba."
Serena's mother came into Serena's room, after hearing her come inside and slam her bedroom door.
"Serena?"
"I'm fine Mom! Just want to be alone!" Serena cried into her pillow. Her arm a bit bruised from battling the monster Zoisite created from another human carrying a piece of the crystal. That's 4 now uncovered, it is said that once you have all 7, the silver crystal would be yours. Zoisite has 2, Serena has 1 and Tuxedo Mask, Darien, has one. Ikuko opened the door.
"Serena, are you crying?"
"NO!" Serena wiped her eyes. "Just got something in my eyes."
"Okay. I can make fudge."
"No thanks, Mom." Ikuko sat on her bed.
"Now, I know something is wrong, so talk to me."
"Mom, am I stupid?" Serena sat up.
"NO!"
"Am I ugly?"
"No, baby!" Ikuko held her daughter's face. "Why do you ask?"
"I just wondered."
"Is this about a boy?"
"A boy?"
"That handsome young man that dropped this by." Ikuko held up a box.
"Handsome?"
"I took the liberty and opening it, sorry." Serena lifted the top. It was book to help with Math problems along with a bag of expensive chocolates. "Who is Darien?"
"Umm...he took over for Ms. Haruna while she is in America."
"He's cute."
"Arrogant little.."
"Serena!"
"It's true."
"Well, he can't be that bad to send this over, is that why you are crying? Did you not understand a problem in class and you looked stupid when you tried to?"
"Something like that."
"Well, you are not stupid. Don't always put your mind to things that are important like Math and English, but you have a great soul. A good heart and good sense of life. I couldn't be prouder of you sometimes."
"Thanks Mom." They hugged. "Can I have that fudge now?"
"There's my baby." Serena smiled.
Serena had to deal with another night with Zoisite. She was searching for the 5th crystal, but not having any luck when Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts arrived. Zoisite decided get away to come back and fight another time. Serena barely walked out of her bathroom when she saw Darien coming through her window. Luna asleep on her bed. Serena threw her robe over Luna. Luna meowed, but didn't come out from the robe.
"What are you doing here!"
"I needed to see you, the way things were left at school, I..." Serena pulled him toward the window.
"You have to leave now!"
"Come with me."
"My cat might.."
"It's a cat, Sere, she won't tell a soul." Serena looked at him. 'Yea right!' Serena looked back. Serena turned off all lights.
"Just for a while, to talk."
"Of course." Serena held Darien's hand as he helped her out the window. Serena closed her window after they left. Luna's head popped up.
"What is.." Luna shook the robe off and found the room dark and empty. "Where is that girl!"
Serena and Darien sat on a bench, just staring off at the Moon.
"It's a beautiful night."
"Yea." Darien put his arm around her.
"Look, Serena, about what I said and..."
"You were right."
"What?"
"I said, you were right." Serena moved closer and kissed his neck. "You are my TA now, and as much as I dream and fantasy about us, we shouldn't bring what we do into school."
"Very mature."
"I guess you are rubbing off on me." Serena smiled. Darien kissed her forehead. "I will be 16 soon."
"I know."
"Darien, you love me?"
"I love you so much, Serena." She sighed and hugged him tighter.
The next afternoon, Serena was walking through into Andrew's place and found the girls sitting around waiting. She was a little mad at Darien. He wouldn't let her go, as she tried to leave his place. Since he only had to teach a few morning, classes, he went back to his place. It was only a half-day at school today.
"Where have you been?"
"Yea, you left school just like us?" Mina said.
"My Mom made me clean up my room before I could come!" Raye looked up, knowing Serena was lying again, having seen her walk in the opposite direction to her house. She knew she was probably going to that apartment again. Darien walked into the place and took his seat at the bar and ordered a coffee. Kimberly looked up briefly, giving a confused face, only to stare back at her milkshake, having barely touched her food.
"Is something wrong?" Lita asked.
"Huh?"
"You just gave Darien a weird look."
"No, I didn't."
"I saw that too," Mina said.
"I was just thinking about something."
"What?"
"Why does the guy come here and order coffee like everyday?"
"Why would you care?"
"Just wondering. I mean, there are so many other coffee places for him to..." Darien could hear them.
"Maybe he comes here to see me," Raye said. Everyone laughed, but Serena. Raye having tried to pursue dating him, but after just one outing, Darien turned her down flatly, saying he wasn't looking for anything right now. Raye still pineing feelings over him to this day.
"It was a joke, Serena." Serena smiled finally, she went to pick up her slice of pizza. Serena stopped and touched her head. Flashes of music came to her
"Serena, what's wrong?" She covered her eyes for a brief moment.
"Nothing, just a silly headache. I'm fine. I'll be back." Serena got up. Darien's eyes followed her walk into the back area where the bathroom were. Darien made sure, no one was paying attention as he got up and went back there as well. Serena was sitting on the toilet holding covering her face as she bent over.
"Serena!" Darien closed the door behind him. She looked up through her hands at him.
"I'm fine," she said through her hands.
"What is wrong, baby?"
"Just a headache, been coming a bit often lately." Every since that blast for one of the people carrying the crystal, Serena has been hit with many flashbacks, though she couldn't tell if they were real or not. It all felt like a dream about a princess and prince forbidden love. Luna had the Scouts looking out for the Moon Princess, she would be the only one able to bring the 7 crystal together and defeat Beryl. All of a sudden, her watch went off. "I have to go."
"Where?"
"Uh, home."
"Why?"
"I forgot, I have some chores to do or else my Mom will be very upset."
"You are coming by after that."
"Uh, I'll see, I'll call you before I come okay." Serena kissed him quickly. Darien pulled her back. Serena smiled. She cupped his face and they kissed a bit more passionately. The girls were waiting as she came out. Amy having arrived finally with some news.
"Hurry up!" Serena picked up her things and rushed out with them. Raye saw Darien coming out the back area.
'When did Darien go back there?' she thought. 'Was he with Serena? No way. Darien and Serena hate each other, I must be really crazy.'
Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts were able to take the 5th crystal from Zoisite in the end. Tuxedo Mask wasn't happy, but let the girls have it. Serena came into Darien's place, but found it empty. Darien arrived as Tuxedo Mask to his balcony. Serena gasped.
"Tuxedo Mask! What are you doing here?"
"Serena? I thought you were going to call first." Serena stepped a bit closer. Tuxedo Mask looked at her, as Serena bent down and lifted his hat up
"Darien?" Tuxedo Mask just stared back at her. Serena pushed his hat back and gasped. Everything went black for Serena.
A/N: Ooooooooo...Tuxedo Mask revealed? Will Darien find out Serena's little secret next? And what about Raye, how will she seek her revenge when she finds out the truth? All that and more. Going away for a little bit. Moving back into school, college sucks, but I love the campus and my peeps are waiting, so can't be too bad. Thanks for all the reviews and emails, i appreciate out it all, and see ya in a week
babye
