I stared at him in shock. He wanted me to go to the hospital to make sure I was alright. He quirked an eye brow at me and my expression changed to a smile. Did I mention that this man in front of me had the cutest look on his face, well he did.

"I do not think I need to be going to the hospital. I think I am just fine." I said not even trying to stand.

"I think you need to be taken to the hospital. I want to make sure you do not have a fracture or a concussion." He said sounding like a doctor.

"But…" He stepped back over to me and bent down and looked me in the eyes.

"No Buts, Mrs. Tsukino, you need to be looked at." He said. A smile graced his lips as he spoke my last name.

"How did you know my name?" I asked ignoring the smile that played across his lips.

"Andrew told me!" He said returning to a standing position. My eyes followed his body movements.

I stood from the bed forgetting what happened a few moments ago. I wobbled slightly and lost my balance. On my way to the ground I felt warms, strong arms wrap around me. I looked up at and stared into concerned eyes. His eyes were they sane color as before, nothing had changed. They were still an endless night sky blue.

"Maybe I should get looked at!" I agreed. He then lifted me up so that I was leaning against him. He looked down at me still.

"Thank you, Darien!" I spoke trying to ignore the on coming headache. It lasted only a short time and finally faded away. Shortly after this I leaned on him as we began walking to his front door.

"I'd carry you, but I need at least one of my arms to get to my car." He said. I smiled at him and said nothing. I needed to concentrate on not falling down again and I did not want to lose that concentration.

------

By the time we reached the hospital I could walk with little or no problems. I was not sure why I could not walk. I mean I had only hit my head but for some reason I was having a problem walking slightly. As we reached the information desk, the receptionist looked to Darien and smiled a flirtatious smile. I just rolled my eyes and chose to stare at the ever entreating desk top.

"Well, how are you today Mr. Shields? "She asked fluttering her eye lashes at him. I happened to look up when she spoke. I scoffed at her choice of words. She was flirting with him hard core. As I looked at his stone wall face it took all of my will power to keep from laughing. He glanced at me with a grin and returned his attention to the receptionist. I listened as he spoke to her and noticed he used a professional voice and ignored any and all flirtatious comments. His face remained ever stone walled.

"Rachel, we need to set Mrs. Tsukino in a room so she can be looked over." He spoke leaning over the counter slightly to look at the screen. A nurse came up behind him as he returned to stand up straight and handed him a clipboard with paper on it.

"It's Miss by the way not Mrs." I spoke to the receptionist. She glared up at me and handed me a clipboard with a sheet of paper on it.

"Fill this out and I will place you in a room shortly!" She said ignoring me partially and stared starry eyed at Darien. I took the clip board and glared at her, I decided since this was my personal well being, I was going to give this woman a piece of my mind.

"Look lady I did not ask to be brought here and since you are supposed to be nice to the people walking in here, could you pay a slight bit more attention to me than Dr. Shields here? I mean after all we are the ones you are suppose to be helping. Apparently you are too stupid to notice this man is not in the least bit interested in you and yet you still chose to ignore your job. I suggest you get your head out of the clouds and take this job seriously or I will report you to your supervisor for misconduct!" I concluded my speech feeling a little light headed but much better.

I had half of the patients filling out forms staring at me in shock and Darien was looking at me slightly in awe. The receptionist was staring at me with her mouth wide open as I slowly walked to a seat and sat down to fill out the form.

"Please get her into a room as soon as you can Rachel, she may have a concussion. She needs to be looked at thoroughly." He spoke softly.

"Miss. Tsukino, Would you prefer a female doctor?" He asked turning to me. I looked up at him in shock. Is this the same man I knew when I was fourteen. Sure he had been nice to me in the apartment but there was still a hint of his old self in him there. Here he was being nice, so much nicer than at the apartment with the whole shirt thing.

"I honestly do not care. Whom ever you can spare will be fine with me. I just want to get this over and done with. I have yet to have stepped into my house and I would like to see my parents." I said turning back to filling out my form that asked stupid questions.

"Place her under my name than please." He spoke. This time I turned around and stared at him as if he were insane. I was done with the form for the most part and stood up and walked over to the receptionist and handed her the clip board. She took it roughly and I glared at her. She smiled angrily at me and I smiled proudly at her. I then returned my gaze to Darien.

"Now do not be going to too much trouble for me." I spoke. I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye and saw him leaning over the counter again. I chuckled at this. He looked absolutely adorable.

"No trouble at all actually I have one of the lightest loads on my shift today and besides I do not believe Andrew would be happy with me if he knew I had not taken care of you properly." He said with a hint of his old self in him.

I smiled at him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Thanks there Dar…" I chuckled and looked at him receiving yet another eyebrow raise from him. This made me laugh even harder.

"Please Rachel; I shall take her to her room." He said.

"Room three Dr. Shields" The receptionist known as Rachel said dejectedly. She then looked at me and glared again. I shrugged it off and followed Darien down a hallway. He placed my chart on the door and opened it for me.

"I need to do some rounds so you shall have to wait a little while." He said holding the door for me, "There are some magazines and well since it is you, some kids' toys you can play with." The smile on his face showed enjoyment and I just glared at him. I sat in the chair and waited patiently for about five minutes then I read a magazine and after about forty-five minutes I decided may be the kids' toys weren't such a bad thing.

As the door opened again I gasped. A nurse walked in with a doctor attached to her lips.

"Do you mind?" I asked.

They abruptly stopped kissing and looked at where they were.

"Sorry I missed the closet!" She told the doctor. I growled at them and pushed them out the door and quickly shut it properly behind them. Is this not a hospital I asked myself? I again sat down now with nothing to do.

I looked at the clock on the wall and sighed it had been an hour since I had been placed in here. I truly had run out of things to do. I sighed. I knew why I was bored. I couldn't have a good fight with him. He did not remember me. I needed to formulate a plan to get him to remember me. Our first not so much date. The time in the elevator at Tokyo Tower. Roses, they were the key. I needed to formulate a plan and I was slowly working on it when he came in. I was so lost in thought that I did not realize that he had come in.

I was sitting in the chair talking to myself out loud. When apparently he must have walked in.

"Must have Roses, Must remember all places that have a significant detail that might make him remember," As I continued to think I felt hot air on my ear and smelled a familiar smell from about an hour ago. I turned to look behind me and saw Darien. His lips were a few inches from mine and I squealed in surprise. I quickly pushed my self out of the chair and leaned against the wall. I gasped for air as I stared at him. He was laughing so hard he had to hold onto the exam table. I glared at him with smiling eyes and sauntered up to him and poked him in the chest. His chuckling stopped as he grabbed my hand.

"Did you have to do that?" I asked glaring at him only slightly. I had truly been startled by him. I wonder if he heard what I was talking about. I wonder if he knew what I was talking about. How long had he been in here? Then I realized he was holding my hand and this caused me to look at him.

"I couldn't resist Miss Tsukino!" Hs said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Please stop calling me Miss Tsukino, the name is Serena."

"Really, well how about I call you…" He stopped and tugged on my arm slightly pulling me closer to him. He bent his head down and I once again felt his breath on my ear. I shivered slightly. He still had this effect on me, wow, after six long years. He then whispered in my ear, "Meatball head."

I pulled my hand free and jumped back again. No not that horrible nick name.

"Oh please do not call me that!" I cried whining. I didn't care how much of a child I sounded like. He gave me that ridiculous nickname once again. Although I could not help but feel as if we were reverting back to our old selves. Not that I wanted him to be mean to me, but if I could get him to be like before maybe he could remember what we had started before Beryl had taken him from me.

"Oh come on Meatball head." He said mockingly.

"Darien, if you…" I stopped mid sentence. I called him Darien.

"Err, Sorry Dr. Shields." I said correcting myself.

He smiled and looked at me sweetly.

"If I get to call you meatball head, you are very welcome to call me Darien!" He said smirking as my face told him what I thought of the awful nickname

"Please don't call me that!" I said putting my hands in front of me. I began begging.

"I think I like it!" He chuckled. He appeared to be ignoring me.

I sat down in the chair and sighed heavily. This was not how things were suppose to start. But I guess it was better than nothing. I finally gave up.

"Well shall we get started on the tests?" He asked.

"Are you sure you have time for me Darien!" I drawled.

"Okay you need to call me Dr. Shields in the hospital please.

I got an evil glint in my eyes. It was time to get him back for the nickname. I would get him to remember me later, right now I wanted revenge.

"But you said I could call you Darien!" I pouted.

"Serena!" He said giving me the doctor; patient tone.

I laughed at him and turned my head to the ceiling. This was going to be fun. Even though we were both acting like a couple of kids. I couldn't describe the feeling it gave me when he started teasing me. But I looked at the clock again and realized that we really needed to be getting done so I could see my parents and call my friends and tell them what happened to me. Although they would not begin to believe that Darien was alive.

------------

I got home around seven in the evening by taxi. It had been a rather interesting day. Apparently my friends had called thinking I would have come home first. They called to tell me they could not make it to lunch. Well at least I would not have to hear Raye talk about how even after six years I could not be on time if it killed me. I took my shoes off and placed them next to the front door and called out for my mother. I walked into the kitchen to see a note addressed to me. They would be home tomorrow apparently they had gone on a trip and would not be returning till tomorrow.

I walked back to the door and put my shoes on and walked out the door. It had been such a long day and I truly did not feel like cooking, especially not after finding out that the whole reason I couldn't walk earlier was because I had not been eating right. It had only a little to do with hitting my head, but not much. As I walked down the path I glanced at my watch. It was only little while until Darien got off. Well okay about forty-five minutes. I decided to walk to the hospital. As I got to the hospital I notice that Rachel was no longer the receptionist. It was a woman a tad bit older than her, somewhere in her thirties rather than early twenties.

I walked up to the reception desk and she smiled sweetly at me.

"How can I help you dear?" She asked with a pleasant tone.

"I'm looking to see if Dr. Shields has finished his shift yet." I said smiling back and giving her an equally sweet tone.

"She turned away from me and looked at the computer.

"He still has a little while, but I can tell you miss, most women who come in here looking for him never see him." She said with a warning.

"Well I owe him something. He helped me out today so I thought I would bye him dinner in return for everything he did for me today!" I said happy that she told me that.

"Meatball head!" He called as he came down one of the hallways dressed in a nice suit.

I turned to look at him and glared slightly.

"I asked you not to call me that!" I said roughly under my breath as he stepped up to the reception desk. He smiled and leaned so only I could hear.

"But I can not help it; your hair reminds me of meatballs." He said.

I just growled at him softly and turned to the receptionist who looked at him with a questioning look on her face.

"Dr. Shields, Can I help you? You never leave from the front entrance." Said the receptionist. She appeared not to be flirting with him at all.

I smiled as I realized that there was a picture on the desk of a man that appeared to be in his late thirties early forties. She had a husband and didn't think Darien was anything more than a doctor.

"Actually I brought someone in here today, so I parked in the front parking lot. This is the fastest way to the front parking lot." He replied handing the woman his name badge.

"I'll put this up for you, but you had better talk to this young woman, she wishes to ask you something." She spoke simply. She quickly rose from her seat and headed off down a different hallway.

Darien looked at me surprised.

"I thought you had only come back to have me look you over again to make sure I wasn't mistaken." He laughed. He motioned for me to sit and I followed and sat in the same chair that I filled out the paperwork in.

"Do you honestly think I would have wanted to be here for another two or three hours? I mean after all I would have to be with you." I said sarcastically.

He smiled at me and sat down a chair away from me.

"So what is it you wished to talk to me about Meatball head?" He asked.

"I wished to thank you for all you did today, but you know with you calling me by that horrendous nickname, I am not too sure I want to now." I said smiling at him smugly.

"Oh come on now Meatball head, it's cute!" He said laughing at me.

"That is it. I launched off my chair and tackled him to the ground.

"I have hated that nickname since you gave it to me when I was fourteen!" I bellowed at him. I was now sitting on his abdomen with my hands wrapped around his wrists. He stared up at me surprised. I am not sure if I shocked him with my strength, or that I tackled him, or if it were the fact that I mentioned that I knew him from when I was fourteen. This truly had not been part of the plan, but I guess sometimes we must deviate from the plan to get where we need to be. As I stared at him I noticed a smiled spread on his face. Was that recognition I saw in his eyes?

I then felt myself being shoved over and he was soon on top of me. Somehow he had managed to change his hands to where they were holding my writs and mine were empty. How did he do that? Oh wait this man was stronger than me. Well after all I was not much bigger than a stick my friends had said in America.

"So you remember me calling you meatball head?" He asked grinning at me madly.

"You do remember me Darien?" I asked my eyes shinning with hope. He looked at me with a slight smile.

"I am starting to remember a young blonde throwing a test paper at my head." He said. "I believed I called her meatball head because I did not know her name." His smile broadened.

"You do remember me a little." I said happily, He looked at me as if I were insane. Okay my smile faded. He was begging to remember me a little but it appeared that it would be a while before he realized who he truly was. "I thought you had forgotten about me completely", I said looking into his eyes.

"Dr. Shields, I believe this is no place for that!" Spoke the receptionist from a few moments ago.

I watched as his cheeks flushed and he stood up quickly. He than held his hand out for me. I looked at him shocked. I had knocked him over and he was going to help me up. I instantly took his hand and he effortlessly pulled me up to my feet.

"Geeze Darien, have you always been this strong" I asked rubbing one of my wrists as if it were hurt. I tried to sound like I was kidding, but apparently he did not get the tone and instantly took my wrist and examined it. I watched him with awe. He looked so cute when he acted like a doctor.

"Dr. Shields, I believe she was kidding with you!" Said the receptionist winking at me knowingly. I blushed. She had caught me, I was truly trying to get Darien to be kind to me and with her help it was working.

He dropped my wrist and looked at me with a quirked eyebrow. I chuckled; he looked so adorable with his eye brow quirked.

"What is it you wanted to ask me Serena?" He asked.

"Well I wanted to ask you if you….Wait did you just use my name?" I asked shocked as heck.

"Yeah!" He said moving back to the reception desk.

"You do not work until Saturday Dr. Shields. Apparently you have a slight vacation!" Said the receptionists.

He nodded at her and walked back over to me.

"What was it you wanted to ask me?" He asked rubbing the back of his head.

I guess I might have made him hit his head on the ground. Oops, that was not supposed to happen. Oh well I guess I did deserve him turning me on to my back.

"I wanted to ask you if you would join me for dinner. So that I could thank you for everything you did for me today. Although you did not have to pay the bill for me!" I said.

He began walking toward the door and I followed. I saw a small bump on the back of his head. I cringed at the thought of that bump being my fault. Although he truly showed no sign that he was hurt. Even when he was scratching his head it seemed natural like he was only nervous.

"Ah that was no problem actually; I felt I needed to since I was the one who insisted you get the test done. Anyway I would love to, where did you have in mind?" He questioned

"Actually I was hoping you could tell me a good place. I just got back to Japan today and I do not really know of any places besides The Crown." I said settling in to walking next to him instead of behind him.

"I thought you wanted to get home for a home cooked meal." He exclaimed.

"Well it turns out my parents went on a vacation and will not return until tomorrow, so I figured if you did not have plans I could thank you." I spoke ignoring the third degree.

"Well I actually had planned on eating at home tonight, so I could cook you something if you wanted." He suggested as we reached his car.

"Oh you do not have to go to all the trouble, besides I would still have to come up with a way to pay you back." I said shifting from foot to foot.

"He leaned closer to her and spoke in her ear, "I think I can come up with something!"

I looked at him in shock.

"Um….." I stammered as he returned to his upright position. He chuckled causing me to look at him.

"I meant you could help me with dinner. That is if you do not mind cooking with me!" He said sarcastically.

"Well now that you mention it." I played along. "Actually I would not mind a home cooked meal, airport food has been the most terrible stuff in the world.

"That is wonderful." He unlocked his car door moved to the other side and held the door open as I reached that side of the car.

"Thank you, so you can be a gentle man when you need to be!" I laughed. Just as I was about to move to get in his voice was next to my ear.

"Only with you Serena, only with you!" He said causing me to shiver again. Oh goodness. What was he doing to me? I looked at him in surprise and noticed his face mere meters away from me. I gulped and he smiled proudly at me. He was doing this on purpose to frazzle me. Well two people can play this game. I may not be very good at this, but I can act pretty well.

"Really Darien!" I purred. I then clasped his shirt and pulled him a little closer to me. This time he gulped and I smiled and said, "Well I guess I shall have to show my appreciation then will I not!" I purred so only he could hear. He gulped again and I released his shirt, looked at him innocently and moved into the car. I smiled at him as he stared at me in a daze. Two points for Darien and one for me.

He shook away his confusion and closed the door. I sighed deeply and relaxed into the seat. That was actually harder than I thought. I wondered if I could remind Darien about us before I fall in love with him completely again. If I can't I wonder if I could get him to love me in return.

Well here is the second chapter. Hope you enjoy it. Sorry it took so long. I edited it and then lost the edited part and had to go back and re edit it. So it took a few days longer because I'm back in school. I hope to have the next chapter to deamon and Angel out
