AN: Sorry it took so long, fanfiction is down so posting is hard. Please enjoy and review!
Darien parked his car in front of Serena's house and stepped out. Walking up the pathway, he wondered if he was ready for the truth. Well there was really no time for second-guessing he was already there.
Darien took a deep breath and knocked on the door. He heard footsteps and then the front door opened. Serena stood there and smiled at him.
" Hey Darien. Come on in."
Darien nodded and walked inside her house. Serena gently took his hand and led him into the living room. Sitting down on the couch, she motioned for Darien to sit as well.
" Serena. You have to understand that I'm really hurt. I really don't know what to say," Darien said softly as he sat down next to her.
Serena nodded. " I understand, but after tonight, I hope you wont be."
Darien looked at her confused. What she mean by that? She'd cheated on him, what could possibly make him not mad about that? She'd broken their trust, their bond.
Serena sat there and idly played with her hair. She didn't know how to start this very awkward and dreadful talk filled with bad memories. She sighed. She might as well just dive into it.
Serena looked over at Darien, to find him staring at her with sad and hurtful eyes. Not saying anything, but she knew that he really didn't want to talk about this. She understood, from where he stood on the subject, she was cheating on him.
" Darien," Serena started softly, taking his hand in hers. " Please promise me something."
Darien looked at her, confusion once again evident on his features. " Okay. What?"
" Promise me… that you won't underestimate your power."
Darien cocked his head to one side, clearly not understanding. Serena tried again.
" What I mean is that after I say what happened, will you promise that you wont misuse or underestimate your strength?"
Darien sighed, as he finally understood what she wanted. He looked over at her pleading face, pleading and scared. Did she really think he'd let his anger control him? Certainly he wouldn't!
" I promise," he said finally.
Serena gently removed her hand from his and found herself once again playing with her hair, eyes staring at her feet.
" You remember that night when you couldn't take me to the Three Lights concert?"
Darien nodded. " I had too many papers due."
" Right. Well I still went… Seiya offered to take me there, so I wouldn't have to miss it…" her voice trailed off and her eyes rose to search his.
" I never cheated on you Darien," she said in a weak voice.
Darien shook his head, not understanding. " But of course you did! Your pregnant!"
Tears welled up in Serena's eyes and rolled down her cheeks, but she didn't bother to wipe them away, that would just be futile. She just shook her head profusely.
" Seiya… he…" Serena whispered in the air, not sure if he'd heard. She felt so ashamed and scared. She just couldn't bring herself to say those words. He raped me… that why I'm pregnant.
" Darien. That's why I was kicking his ass the other day!" she said more confidently. She stared into his eyes wondering what he'd do. " You're the only one who knows… I haven't even told the girls yet."
Darien gasped softly. " You're saying he… Oh Baby, come here."
Darien gently took her into his arms and hugged her tight. He felt so mad at himself for accusing her of cheating on him; the poor angel. He gently kissed her forehead and placed his head on top of hers.
" Oh Serena. I'm so sorry for doubting you."
" That's okay Darien. I would have done the same thing if I were in your shoes. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, I was just so ashamed."
Darien held unto her tighter as her body shook and she sobbed violently.
" I'm here Baby. I promise I'll never let anything ever happen to you again. I wont let you out of my sight."
After a few minutes, Serena stopped crying and relaxed into his arms. " I'm scared Darien."
" It will be okay, I promise."
The next day, Darien was on his way to the arcade when he saw Seiya, or more accurately, Star Fighter. That man was just sick. Not only did he change sexes, but also he'd raped an innocent girl, who'd trusted him as a good friend.
Picking up his pace, he walked up to Seiya, as he stopped in front of the arcade. Acting calm, he stopped next to him, pretending as if he knew nothing.
" Seiya! Buddy… Pal!" he said exaggeratedly. Seiya turned and smiled at him.
" Darien! How are you man?"
Darien shrugged his shoulders and turned his back towards him.
" Nothing… nothing… just that one of my best friends raped my girlfriend!" he yelled as he turned quickly around and punched him hard in the stomach, sending him to the ground.
Seiya looked up at him. " I'm sorry man…" was all he could manage before Darien kicked him with his shoe.
" How could you!?! We trusted you!" Darien yelled, and it took all his being not to strangle the guy to death.
Seiya managed to stand up, but didn't try and fight him, knowing that Darien would probably win if he didn't transform. " I didn't mean to… it just happened."
Too mad to listen to his reasons, Darien shoved him backwards unto the hard cement. " Your lucky that I'm a good guy, or else you'd be dead!"
Darien was about to punch him again, when he saw the arcade door swing open and Andrew ran quickly towards him. His face showed utter confusion. He was probably wondering why his even-tempered friend was beating the stuffing out of a mutual friend.
" Darien. What the heck are you doing?"
Darien didn't take his eyes away from Seiya. He watched the creep with every blink so that he wouldn't get away, not that easily.
" Just beating the creep who raped Serena… that all," he said in a mock voice. Not wanting to keep secrets from his best friend.
Within a second Andrew was on the floor strangling Seiya. Apparently his brother-like instincts, kicking in and showing how much he cared for Serena. Darien smiled for a second and enjoyed the moment, before he quickly dropped to the ground and struggled to remove his best friend's hands from Seiya's neck.
" Its not worth it man," Darien said to Andrew. Turning to Seiya he raised his hand to Seiya's face, ready to slap him. " You! I'll deal with you. Andrew, go and call the police, will you?"
Andrew nodded and quickly rose and called the police. Within a few minutes, the police arrived and after a long explanation, the police took him away. They told him that he'd only stay in jail for two days, until Serena went there and reported the incident herself.
Darien and Andrew watched in contentment as the police drove away. At least now girls in this town were safe of his evilness.
