Serena kept her head held high allowing him to see he held no dominance over her, even though her eyes couldn't help but take the occasional view down south. A slight blush crept upon her cheeks as the angry man stood no more then five feet ahead of her.

"Take another step and your dog food...got that." She said watching him skeptically as he seemed to stand straighter and letting out a growl deep from within his throat.

"I don't know who you are…but you have no idea who you're dealing with…I could kill you before you even take a step." He replied in a low menacing voice. They glared at one another trying to read what the other was thinking, when neither backed down Serena's brow rose considering on testing out his dare. After all, she was never one to back down from a fight.

"So you think you can kill me…before you do that, do you mind telling me your name?" Not caring for an answer she stepped forward and side kicked him in the center of his chest causing him to falter back a couple steps.

His hand held his chest, as he looked up somewhat stunned by the strength this slender girl had. He stood up straight as her fist came into view, an inch before it hit his chin he grabbed her fist and pulled her to him. "You're strong for being a small sprite." Just as quickly as he had pulled her forward, he shoved her roughly away making Serena land on her back. As she lay across the cement within two seconds she pushed herself off the ground doing a small back flip raising herself up as if it was nothing but a routine that she had practiced over a hundred times.

"Huh well I see someone lacks some manners…don't you know your never suppose to hit a lady." She said hotly as she lunged at him causing them both to fall ungracefully to the ground. Neither one giving up as they both flipped the other over their shoulder. Within moments, the dark haired man had her pinned holding both arms above her head as he leaned forward. "You're hardly a lady, and as I recall you attacked me first."

She took that moment to head bunt him giving her access to flip him over her and pinning him to the ground. Serena sat on the middle of his chest as her right leg held down his left hand while her left hand held his right one firmly to the ground. Her free hand she placed over his throat squeezing forcibly over his jugular. "You never answered my question…what's your name?"

He lay there with a smirk on his face not moving a muscle. "Darien."

"Why are you in MY town?"

"I didn't know Garston belonged to you."

"Well…now you do. To make you understand better wise ass…why are you in New York"

Unexpectedly he rolled her over making her be in the same position he was just moments ago. "Sorry but you only get one question…Where is the girl, she belongs to us."

"Here I thought we were becoming friends and you have to go and ruin it by being chauvinistic." She tried to roll him even flip him but he held her even tighter. So she fought even harder to get him off and that's when realization sank in. That during their little battle she forgot something…he was naked. All her movements ceased as that thought came went into her mind.

"Do you mind telling me your name before I kill you…if you just give me what I ask for your life will be spared."

"I'm known as the slayer…as far as the girl, she's safe. What's with your kind anyways…cant you ever let a girl take control." She said more as a statement as she jerked her hips up causing him to lose some of his balance. That opportunity gave her the chance to knee him in the back throwing him over her.

They both jumped up within seconds slowly pacing in a small circle never letting their eyes waver as they glared at each other. "A slayer…hmm I've heard of your type, nothing to brag about…As far as letting a girl take control, I'm all for it."

A small smile spread across her face. "Good." She replied as she jumped forward doing a flip while pulling out a dagger. Landing inches in front of him she ducked before his fist reached her face, as she stood back up she quickly placed it against his neck. His eyes focused on hers as he stood their without a flinch waiting for her next movement.

She looked over his shoulder to see his other friend that arrived with him starting to transform back into animal form. "Looks like our funs over…for now." Without a second thought, she cut his shoulder then used the dagger to stab him in his left shoulder, leaving the weapon imbedded in his flesh.

He let out a groan as it pierced his skin, his hand flying to his shoulder while the other swung at her. His fist hit her chest sending her flying back about ten feet. She landed on her back once more letting out a gasp for the breath that was knocked out of her. As she stood up she reached for her cross bow, just as her she pulled it out the man she saw transforming was now lunging at her in full animal form. When it got within two feet of almost getting to her neck she shot him directly in the same spot she shot the other two, in the shoulder. He let out a cry as his body skidded to cement, his head stopping right by her feet.

"Tonight was a free be for you and your mutts…if I see any of you again, bets are off and you'll be dead." She said this looking straight ahead seeing both of the other men nursing their wounds. Both of them just glared angrily at her knowing that she knew they could here her threat.

Within seconds she took off down the street and further into the distance into a dark alley. "Better get to Mina, and check on the girl." She whispered aloud as she climbed a building and began making her way back to Skye Inc. While the other three wounded men gathered around one another.

"Are you both okay?" Darien asked as they all eyed each other's identical wounds.

"Yes."

"I'm fine."

"We need to rest…allow ourselves to heal…then we'll come back." The white haired man spoke up as he wiped at his bloody wound with irritation.

"What about Rei…we can't just leave her, Malachite…I can't." Jadeite said angrily as he looked around the dark empty street.

"The girl said she's safe…in two days we'll get Rei…and now that we know what we have against us, we'll be prepared." Darien responded as he began walking back towards the park with the other two following closely behind.
