Blood Bond With Love 15

_____________________

'Today, right now. Before Serena hid further in her cocoon.' Thought William.

"So Amy, Serena told me you are one of the top students in the country" Said William trying to make small talk while sipping his tea.

Amy blushed and looked down at the table.

"Yes I am"

"That must mean you're a genius"

"I just like to study" She replied timidly.

"Now THAT'S remarkable. I hate studying, like my lil sis"

"But you still get good grades" Said Rey who couldn't let the chance of reminding Serena about her schoolwork pass by.

"Ohhh but she can, just that she doesn't want to cause that would cause her too much. Don't get me wrong Sere here isn't A material but she could easily pull off a B if she wanted"

"Right, as if. I've tried believe me" Snorted Serena.

"Then why was it that you got good grades when you were with aunty and uncle?"

Serena shot him a death glare.

"Or is it just to see Ikuko throw a fist?"

"I'm in high school! Things are different here" Defended Serena.

"Right and your screaming to go back"

He knew he would have to apologize to her after this but it was worth if it would help her decide with whom she wanted to stay with

She bit her lip to keep from talking back. That was what he was trying to do she knew this tactic. He wanted her to yell out whatever he thought her friends might want to hear.

Rey set a tray with cookies on the table, hoping to ease the situation. Serena dug for them as soon as she saw them. Making everyone sweat drop.

"Serena don't pig out," Warned the black haired priestess.

"I'm not"

"She needs sugar pet, specially after all that energy she looses dancing"

"Dancing? Who dances?" Asked Amy.

"Serena does and she's bloody good at it too"

"Will don't exaggerate"

"Serena can hardly chew gum and walk at the same time let alone dance"

Serena shot Rey a death glare and became angry. What better time to burst her best friend's bubble than the present.

"Actually Rey I'm pretty good at it. I won a few medals for it when I was younger. I was considered one of the best in the country" Said Serena with a proud tone.

"Yep and we're proud of ya goldilocks"

Serena smiled at her brother.

"That I must see!" Yelled Mina shocked.

"Me too!"

"Me three"

"It would be interesting" Said Amy.

"Maybe we could arrange a little show to show your friends luv, what you say?"

"Fine by me" The blonde girl popped another cookie into her mouth.

"So Lita you made these cookies?" Asked William.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Mina I thought you said to be punctual cause she would be on time" Complained Rey.

All five girls plus Rini were sitting on the Crowd centre (Thanks for telling me the name!) waiting for Airine to arrive.

"So why are we meeting this person?" Asked the pink haired girl.

"Because she's gonna make us famous Rini!" Answered Mina exited.

"You mentioned you knew her right Serena?"

"Yeah but I only saw her a couple of times. She won't recognize me"

"Who would have thought that such a meat ball head would actually know someone important" Said Rini as she ate her slice of cake.

Serena had explained the small girl about her foster parents the day before. Just to find that she already knew about it by Darien. Though to the blonde's big surprise the word "aunty Luz" had escaped her little lips and Serena had been questioning her about it all day since she couldn't know about Luz yet. But all Rini would say was that Pluto would kill her is she said anything.

So Serena made it her special task to force it out of the peas quick.

"Well Rini I happen to have had a very interesting child hood. And as it happens Airine works for my AUNT you wouldn't happen to know anything about aunts would you?"

Suddenly the crumbs in her plate seemed very interesting to the future princess. And she went quiet.

"Leave her alone Serena, and what are you babbling on about aunts?" Rey seemed interested on the subject all of the sudden.

"It seems this little brat here knows about Faith and Luz. She called Luz her aunt this morning when she was talking about the future"

"Who's Luz?"

"Trinity and Neo's daughter. And my little sister"

"She not *really* your little sister." Whispered Mina.

"She's as much my sister as you are my friends" Defended Serena.

Rini on her part had a little secret of her own. But of she had been strictly warned by the future gatekeeper Pluto to keep it a secret. For if Serena knew the future it would immediately affect it.

"I told you I can't tell you so get off my case already!" Yelled Rini. "Your so nosy Serena"

Serena felt the familiar pain at Rini's words. She was growing tired of them, seriously tired.

"Fine sorry for caring" She whispered. The girl censed the hurt in her voice and gave her a shympathetic look.

The doors of the restaurant opened revealing a young woman in her twenties, long brown hair. Short dark green skirt with matching green jacket, high heels and a briefcase searching the tables for the familiar face. Mina stood up and swinged her hand, the woman saw it and approached the table with a smile.

"Hi Mina, sorry I'm late, meeting go on forever"

"Hello Miss Tokatura, it's all right. We're used to waiting. I'd like you to meet my friends;

"Amy"; "How do you do?"

"Serena"; "Hello"

"The little one is Rini"; "I'm little but very responsible," Said the pink haired girl.

"That's excelent, you seem very like a very smart little girl" Airine told Rini.

Mina smiled and resumed.

"That at the corner is Rey"

"Rey, Mina told me about you. You sing right?"

"Yes ma'am I do"

"Wonderful," said the woman.

"And Lita"

"How do you do?" Asked the green eyed girl.

"Fine thank you" Replied Airine.

"Do you want anything to drink?" Asked Amy politely.

"No thank you, I'm on a tight schedule"

The older woman sat on a chair beside Mina.

"Mina has told me you're interested in working for the festival," Said said, going straight into business.

"Yes we wish to help out"

"Help out and work are two different things, are any of you planning on auditioning?"

"Rey and I are"

"Only you and Rey?"

"I think so" Replied Rey.

"What do you wish to audition for?"

"Singing"

The woman smiled.

"You have a larger chance of getting in, the places for singers are not all taken yet. We're full of dancers though"

That caught Serena's attention.

"What kind of dancers?" Asked the blue eyed blonde.

"Well we have famous dancers from all over the world. Like the Castle couple. And the Arons couple"

Serena's eyes widened.

"The Castles? And the Arons are coming? Here?" She choked out.

"Yes, have you heard of them?" Asked the woman, suddenly interested in the blonde. Serena had started playing with the napkin, she was twisting it in a very familiar way.

'That way of playing with the napkin, where have I seen it before? Why does this girl seem familiar. Like I'm suppose to know her, I saw her before somewhere. but where?' Thought Airine, she was practicly cracking her head trying to remember when Lita's question brought her back to reality.

"P, pardon?"

"What do we have to do to get hired."

"You will need a recommendation from one of our associates. I could probably get one or two of you in but not all of you"

"Could I work too?" Asked Rini exitenly.

"Not work but help yes, in something small I'm sure you can help" Said the woman smiling.

She kept stealing glances at Serena until the blonde spoke.

"Is there something wrong?" Asked Serena curiously.

'She recognized me, I know she did. Or at least she suspects something' Thought Serena panicking.

"Have I seen you before? Somewhere, but I can't put my finger on it. I'm sorry you just look awfully familiar"

Serena smirked comically, she put on a polite smile before continuing.

"Perhaps because I'm Niobe Anderson's niece and Neo and Trinity Anderson's daughter"

The woman's eyes couldn't go any bigger, she stared at the blonde. Now she remembered her!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Flash back!~*~*~*~*~

The dark brown skin woman smiled as she looked at the building.

"Airine you did a wonderful job. I love the place!"

"Thanks Mrs. Niobe but the architects did it. Wait until you see the inside"

"Aw, but your in charge of the project my dear, you took responsability for it. I can't wait to go in!" Said the black haired woman with huge satisfaction. "When will we be open?"

"In a month, the teachers are hired, beds made and everything works like a charm!"

"That's good to know" Laughed Niobe. "Now where are those girls of mine?"

"Serena, Faith!" Yelled Niobe.

Two small girls, one with very dark red hair, the other with blonde hair ran out of the car to meet their aunt.

"Airine, I'd like you to meet my two nieces. Faith and Serena"

Both girls smiled politely and extended their hands to the woman, Airine shook their hands with a smile. Curious about the girls but deciding to ask later.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*End Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~

"Serena! Oh my god. I'm sorry you just, you're just so grown up!" Airine stood up to give the girl a proper hug. After a few moments she held the girl at arm's lenght and looked her over.

"Just look at you my, you're a lady! Just yesterday you were running around with Faith and now look at you! I'm so sorry, I hope you can forgive me"

"It's all right, it's been so long since you last saw me" Said Serena smiling.

The girls, surprised at the woman's sudden show of happiness saw how the woman's expression changed.

Airine smiled even wider.

"You can consider yourselves hired."

"But I thought you said that." Said Rey but was cut off by Airine.

"Serena why didn't you just ask me? You know your hired, why you're the founder's niece! And another founder's daughter."

The girl blushed.

"I didn't want to use my family to get in" She replied softly.

"You are so much like your mother and aunt. It's unveliebable!" Cried the older woman.

The girls and Rini became a bit deffencive at this. They considered Ikuko her mother, and she was no matter what could have happened. They had a very hard time imagining that the same woman that invited them in for lemon pie was the same woman who left her daughter alone when she was just a child.

Serena just smiled politely, Airine sat back on her chair and opened her briefcase.

"Here these are the forms for employment and these are for auditioning. I wish I could stay longer buy I'm afraid I have another meeting shortly. Where it sais sponsor put my name and Serena you put your aunt's name ok?"

All girls nodded and thanked her. She hugged Mina and Serena one last time before leaving.

"Well that was interesting. Now will you mind explaining to us why you didn't tell us that you could get us in that easily!" Asked Mina, giving Serena a dangerous glare. The blonde shrugged and continued drinking her soda as she told them how her aunt had hired Airine.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Hello everyone, thanks so much for reviewing, means a lot. Now, in chapter 14 I took out the "little health problem' part because: Ok this is a very large theme, I'm trying to present this in a realistic possible way. And I'm dealing with a lot of things here, I have to put Pacey and William in there and still make sure The matrix characters are there and of course don't forget the original Sailor moon cast.

There are too many doors open as it is and I realized the story would loose its ecsence if I kept opening more doors. Right now I'm predicting the story will have 30 chapters, 15 more. I know it sounds like a lot but believe me I still can't believe I've written so much! It won't be that much. Next chapter!!!!!! DARIAN AND SERENA MUSHHHHHH.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Starting next chapter doors will begin to close and Serena will start making decisions. All the explaining is over, you might hate the flashbacks but I personally enjoy them. I've always been told that Remembering is reliving.

Than you for reviewing, it means so much! Helps my writing and helps me not get writer's block. Please drop me a line, well if you wish too even if you think the story sucks. ^.^ THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You guys are the best (Sniff, Sniff) Is Anyone reading this?
