After watching Darien leave I had wanted to leave, but Kunzite had asked me to dance and for some reason I had chosen to dance with Kunzite once more before leaving the ball. He moved me around the floor expertly, but his focus seemed once again to be on Mina. She wasn't dancing with Darien this time. He had chosen to leave the ballroom area shortly after our last dance.

"Serena?" Kunzite asked as I began to step on his foot. I automatically corrected my footing, avoiding putting my full weight down.

"I am truly sorry Kunzite!" I sighed.

"Are you worried about Darien?" He asked.

"Darien doesn't remember me, Kunzite, how can I not be worried." I sighed again.

"He wants to Serena, he really wishes he could remember you." Kunzite shared.

"He sure doesn't appear to be trying!" I stated feeling exhausted.

"Serena, remember you are in Japan and not America. It is truly hard for a man like Darien to even show you his feelings!"

"But he does things like he did this evening, he rescued me just like Endymion did so many years ago!" I cried frustrated.

"You must remember Serena, he is not Endymion, but Endymion is still a part of him and his love for you will never die! But his memory has been erased as Minako's has!" Kunzite narrowed his eyes.

I looked at Kunzite in shock. Minako… Endymion… no I had spoke of the past in his presence. But he remembered Mina and her name. How could Kunzite remember Mina, but Darien couldn't remember me. This was too much to take. I had been right when I thought Kunzite had remembered the past, he did and he was hiding it from me.

I continued to dance with Kunzite, but was in a daze.

"Serena?" I heard him call.

I looked at him, but didn't see him clearly. My head started to hurt slightly and suddenly I felt tears running down my face. I was crying and didn't know why. My knees began to give out from beneath me.

Kunzite remembered the one he loved, and I remembered Darien, yet neither of our loves remembered us. My knees gave out and I began to fall toward the floor. Kunzite swept me into his arms and held me, unceremoniously keeping me from hitting the ground.

"Serena!" He yelled. I shook my head and suddenly realized where I was. This was no time to lose my cool, but I couldn't stop the tears and began sobbing. Kunzite placed my feet under me and I stood leaning against him.

But this was Kunzite, never had I trusted him in this manner, yet here I was crying on his shoulder. I shivered slightly as I realized that one of his arms was around me. It was supporting me, but it was not Darien's, it was the arm of a man that had always scared me. I could not do this to Mina or myself. I felt my strength return and pushed Kunzite away.

He stared at me bewildered. Mina now stood next to me and grabbed my arm.

"Serena!" she demanded. I turned toward her and saw a look of jealousy instantly melt into one of concern. She had never looked like that on the Moon. She had always trusted me with Kunzite, now she saw me as a rival. I didn't want Kunzite, I wanted Endymion, no Darien.

Mina moved to wrap her arms around me and I stepped back. I shook my head and turned to Kunzite, he was moving toward me again.

"No!" I spoke softly, but he continued toward me. I turned to face Mina and she appeared to be jealous again, but filled with concern. She didn't realize that Kunzite was trying to comfort me because of something he had said, not because he had feelings for me. I wailed instantly causing all in the room to look at me and stop Kunzite and Mina from moving closer.

I was acting like a child, but I didn't care. Mina didn't realize that Kunzite had only eyes for her and that I was nothing to him. I was no princess, I didn't need to be protected and Mina didn't need to be my guardian, but I missed that Mina. She was compassionate and understanding and would have known that Kunzite had upset me, but here in this room she thought I wanted him.

"Stop it!" I hollered, running from the room, all eyes were on me and I didn't care, he remembered everything and had hid it from me. He had known all along that Mina was Minako, and once sailor Venus, but he hadn't dared to share it with me. Mina was acting as if I was something of a threat. Her eyes showed concern, but yet they showed a jealousy that I had only seen once before; In the eyes of Beryl. I began to cry even harder. Mina was not herself.

I kept running down the hall, I had no idea where I was going, but I didn't want Mina to catch me or Kunzite. Suddenly I slammed into something hard, and felt arms wrap around me. The arms had stopped me, but I didn't want to be held. I fought and pushed, but the arms held me tighter.

"Let me go!" I sobbed. Suddenly I felt my face against cold metal and a cape wrapping around my figure. His arms held me close to him and I inhaled a scent of roses and chocolate. I stopped fighting and wrapped my arms around his neck. He smelled of Endymion, the same as him, he felt just like him. His arms and the hair at the nape of his neck, felt soft against my fingers.

"I won't let you go!" He spoke softly in my ear. I then realized that I was outside in an enclosed porch area, I had missed the stairs I had been aiming for, I had not escaped this house that belonged to Kunzite. I had run past the exit stairs and somewhere off to the side of the building away from the door. There appeared to be no one in sight, but then all I really could see was the bottom of Darien's chin, Endymion's chin. He looked just like him especially in his armor.

I released one of my hands from around his neck and touch his chin, Darien moved his head down to look at me, with eyes were his, and yet Endymion's at the same time. The deep blue got even deeper as my hand caressed his cheek. I inhaled his scent once more and felt the urge to kiss him, but I dared not break eye contact.

Darien locked eyes with me and then his eyes began to roam my face and in an instant they had returned to stare into my eyes.

"Beautiful…" Darien began. Before I could stop myself I replaced my hand on his neck and hugged him tightly to me. I wanted so badly to kiss him, but I couldn't reach his lips.

I felt a shift in the air around my body, the cape fell from one side and the cold night air reached me and caused me to shiver, but in a moment the breeze had stopped and Darien's hand pulled my chin to look up at him. I blushed profusely, but couldn't look away, not that I wanted to.

Darien slowly leaned forward and after a long moment his lips met mine and his and our eyes closed. His lips were warm and moist. Chocolate, his taste was intoxicating. I pulled him closer causing him to almost lose his balance. But after a moment he pulled me closer and deepened the kiss ever so gently. He even tasted like I remembered and it felt wonderful. Something that I could never live without, how had I gone so long without his kiss.

After what seemed like an eternity we broke apart, He stared at me in amazement and I smiled seductively up at him. He moved to kiss me again, but I stopped him with my finger on his lips. He opened his eyes and stared at me. I smiled at him and felt my strength weakening. My knees began to give out on me. I clutched his arms and watched as he stared at me in amazement. When my finger fell from his lips he scooped me into his arms.

For some reason I felt tired and felt that I needed to sleep.

"Serena?" He asked concerned. I looked at him and met his concerned blue eyes. I smiled at him and felt myself speak, even though I'm sure I wouldn't remember it later.

"Endymion, I'm so glad you've come back to me!" I spoke before consciousness left me.

Well here is the next chapter, a little more exciting and something I think everyone was waiting for. Anyway let me know what you think.

IF THIS CHAPTER IS SLIGHTLY CONFUSING, ALL WILL BE EXPLAINED IN THE NEXT CHAPTER! Please read and review, I appreciate all helpful coments and suggestions, I'm thinking of writing a chpater for Darien, but it will be posted once I'm finished, this story is based in Serena's POV and it would kind of ruin the flow of the story, but I can add it once I have her POV written. Would anyone like to read a chapter about Darien's thoughts?
