AN: Thanks for all the reviews. Sorry this chapter is has a little less action. I promise the next chapter will be GREAT and full of action.
Looking carefully around him, Tuxedo Mask jumped unto his balcony, carrying Sailor Moon ever so gently in his arms. De-transforming, he gently placed her down on the couch, Darien taking the seat next to her on the floor.
He watched her for what seemed like forever until she moved ever so slightly. Darien saw this and gently caressed her cheek. Serena slowly opened her eyes.
" Darien. What happened?" she asked him softly, hand moving up to hold her head, which slightly throbbed.
" You passed out… are you feeling okay?"
Serena smiled at his concern. " Just a little headache."
Darien smiled and then went to sit next to Serena as she sat up. Darien took her in his arms. " Oh Serena. What happened tonight?" he asked gently.
Serena didn't want to talk about it. She just wanted to forget about it, and the fact that Seiya was Star Fighter. That was just too messed up for her mind to process.
When Darien didn't receive an answer, he started to get upset. Serena hadn't shared anything with him for over a week. He couldn't take it anymore.
" What the heck were you doing anyways; attacking Seiya like that? Sure if you knew he was Fighter, but you didn't… Seiya's our friend!" Darien's voice started to rise. " You could have ruined your reputation… mine and the scouts too! Gosh Serena!"
Serena pulled away at his suddenly cold and mean tone. She just hadn't thought it through she had just wanted revenge. Oh but Darien was right. She had put not only her reputation on line but Darien's and the scouts as well. But shouldn't he be on her side no matter what?
" Stop yelling at me!" Serena screamed back as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Darien turned to her, anger leaving his face. He'd been too hard on her. Although she hadn't done the smartest thing, she must have a good and logical explanation. Darien sighed. He wanted to know what was bothering and making her act so weird so much.
" Oh, Baby. I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell. Come here," he said in a gentle and remorseful tone. He opened his arms wide and a timid and crying Serena went back into his arms. Her body shaking slightly as she placed her head on his chest.
" I'm so sorry Baby. I just wished you'd open up."
Ignoring his comment, Serena looked up at him. " W… what about Seiya?"
Darien didn't know what to think. That was just wrong. " I honestly don't know. He's a girl?" Darien gently took his hand away from Serena and put it to his head. " I just don't get it."
" Me either." Serena got up abruptly. She couldn't stay here. Whenever she was around Darien she wanted to tell him everything, but she knew that she couldn't.
" I have to go… I need to get ready for the meeting at Raye's."
Serena turned and began to walk away. Darien grabbed her wrist. " Wait. Shouldn't we talk about this? I mean Seiya can change sexes, that's a little more than messed up."
Serena nodded, but didn't turn around. He thought that was weird. He didn't even know the half on it. He hadn't been the one raped by a creep that can change sexes. She shuddered just thinking at the weirdness factor.
" I really have to go. Bye Darien. See you at seven." She continued to walk to the door and then paused. " Darien. Can you not tell the scouts about Seiya being Fighter? I feel it's not the time yet."
" But we must…" Darien said as he stood up and walked over to her.
Serena looked up at him and knew that she needed to get her way. They couldn't know until she had time to sort through all this by herself.
Serena stared into his blue eyes and pouted. " Please. Do it as a favor for your princess?" she asked, knowing she'd hit his weakness.
He smiled down at her. He couldn't resist when she pouted or when she threw in the princess line. Darien nodded. " Fine. For my princess."
Darien lowered his head and lightly kissed her. " I'll wait until you bring it up, Angel."
Serena thanked him and walked outside. Needing to think, she went home. She knew this was getting more and more tricky to hide, but she knew that soon enough it would get better.
Seiya walked down the street and into the arcade. Every so often checking behind him or around him for danger. He was feeling scared and anxious. He didn't know when Tuxedo Mask or Sailor Moon might attack him again.
Sitting down in the back, Seiya ordered a milkshake. He didn't know if he should tell his friends. If he did, would they disown him? Surely they would not want to talk with him after they heard about what he had done to Serena.
Just then Yaten and Taiki walked in and immediately saw him. Walking over to him, they sat down in the booth. Seiya looked up but didn't say anything. He didn't want to tell them the truth, didn't want to be disowned, but they were his friends, and he wanted them to know that they were in possible harm.
Looking around the arcade he found that it was almost empty and that all the other customers sat in the front. Seiya faced them and sighed.
" Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask know about me," he whispered, his head hanging down in shame.
" They what?" Yaten asked not to quietly. A few people turned around.
" There are too many people here, I suggest we go home. I'll explain there."
The two nodded and stood up. Seiya followed behind them in shame. He felt low, low as scum, no lower. He hadn't planned for any of this. He sighed and followed them home.
Once inside, the three made some coffee and sat down in the living room. Seiya looked around for a bit, trying to get his courage up, and then started.
" What I am about to say isn't something I'm proud of… and I understand if you guys want me to move out after it."
Yaten and Taiki looked at each other and then faced Seiya, confused.
" What is it, man?" asked Yaten.
Seiya sighed. " Well remember that night when we went to our concert and I told you I hooked up with someone…" the two nodded so Seiya continued.
" She was sort of Serena," Seiya mumbled and got ready for the questions.
" Serena?!? But she's dating Darien," Taiki said confused. " She loves him man, there is no way that she'd sleep with you…" he stopped as realization hit him. " Tell me you didn't," he begged.
Seiya nodded meekly. " I know I shouldn't have… its just that I really like her… and she would have never other wise."
" That is not an excused, Seiya. Man I can't believe you'd actually rape her."
Seiya didn't look up. " Then somehow Sailor Moon found out and started to attack me so I had to transform in front of her and Tuxedo Mask. I couldn't think of anything else."
" Well you can't blame Sailor Moon for attacking you. That's way below you Seiya. I think your right. You should go," Yaten said calmly.
" I think Yaten's right about this Seiya. At least for now."
Seiya nodded humbly and left the apartment. Rejected, regretful, alone and with no were to sleep. Seiya sighed softly as he walked down the street going nowhere in particular.
AN: Hope it wasn't too bad. Please review and tell me how you think it went. Thanks.
