Sweetlilgiggles: Thanks soooooooo much!!!!!!! I was thinking about having her transform right in front of him, but I have place in this story for that I decided to make it a little more suspenseful than that, and I didn't really feel like writing out Serena explaining to Darien that she was Sailor Moon. But don't worry he will discover soon enough!

Also Thanks too my reviews: Serenity112787 and Sailor Lunakitty

Chapter 7: Cat Fight

When Serena woke up she was greeted by the familiar setting of Darien's bedroom. It was obvious the scouts had dumped her there, but they would be worried sick by now about her injuries. Serena shifted and winced feeling an ache of pain in her ribs where the metal pike had speared her. The injury wasn't even there now and when she examined it closer she could still feel the lingering energy that Darien had unknowingly used to heal her.

She turned slowly onto her other side, being careful not to upset whatever remained of the wound and saw Darien sleeping beside her. His arm was tucked securely about her waist in a slightly possessive manner. She smiled, but she knew how angry he must be with her, but he was alive and unhurt, that was all that mattered. Their love could cross all boundaries, break through anything that tried to keep them apart. Heck, even death hadn't been strong enough to separate them. Such a simple thing like lost memories couldn't detain their love for long, right?

Maybe she could just hit him over the head with a rock or something that might trigger returning memories. It would be a heck of a lot easier than just waiting around for him to magically remember. Serena rolled her eyes at her own thoughts a suddenly felt an urgent need to be closer to Darien, to make sure he was ok that he hadn't left her entirely.

Serena curled a hand in his shirt and gently pulled his lips down to hers and she took the pent up passion out on Darien's unsuspecting lips. She felt the startled jolt go through his body signaling to her that he'd woken up. The shock seemed to melt out of him quickly and with a satisfied groan he began to fully participate in their kiss. Serena reached up and grabbed a fistful of his thick luxurious hair and pulled him even closer to her, craving the contact, the intimacy.

Somewhere in the back round there was annoying sound that sounded like…a ringing phone? Darien tried to pull up with a frustrated sigh, but Serena pulled him back down. He smiled against her lips and dug a hand into her side. Serena let him go with a shriek trying to get away from his tickling hands. Darien's grin grew wider; he reached over and picked up the phone that was on the table beside the bed.

"Hello?" he asked into the phone with a yawn, who would be calling this early anyway? Darien glanced over to his clock and saw it wasn't early at all, it was in fact 1:30 in the afternoon. His shook his head in dismay, Meatball Head Serena must be rubbing off on him.

"Hello Darien it's Ann," came a voice from the other side of the phone. Darien felt the bed give a sudden bounce as Serena rolled over alertly, narrowing her eyes; fully prepared to eavesdrop on the conversation.

"Oh…hi Ann, how did you ge-"

"Oh, that's not important right now Darien. Listen, I've decided to wear a lavender dress to the dance, so you either have to wear a lavender shirt or a complimenting color."

Darien winced, and glanced over his shoulder at Serena whose eyes were smoldering with anger and irritation. Knowing he'd have to remedy the situation quickly Darien turned back to the phone, he knew he wouldn't feel secure with Serena out of his sight, which meant they were going to be spending a lot of time together over the next couple of days.

"Listen Ann, about that dance I totally forgot that I had ah….a previous engagement with someone else."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, "A-Are you putting me off?" she asked fake tears evident in her voice, Darien let out a frustrated sigh.

"No Ann I simply forgot,"

"Who!? Who is this 'previous engagement' with?" she demanded Darien could practically taste the sneer in her voice. Before he could respond Serena plucked the phone out of his hand.

"With me," she said into the phone.

"You!? You slut!" he heard Ann shriek.

"Why don't you go look in a mirror," Serena said so sweetly into the phone Darien was sure he could get cavities from hearing her talk like that for too long. Darien winced as he heard the enraged shriek from the other end of the phone, and then the slamming down of a phone. Serena smiled in satisfaction and reached over to place the phone back on the hook.

"Now that the annoying fly is gone," Serena said snuggling back under his arm. Darien chuckled then moved to lay back down beside her perfectly content to sleep the day away, but he bolted back up with a start.

The fight! The yoma! And, and Serena's injury, was she alright? What happened? His immediately began searching her for the wound and when his hand only encountered smooth skin his eyes widened with shock.

"Ouch! Be careful I'm still sore," Serena said wincing has his fingers pressed gently where the wound had been.

"H-How is that possible, you were injured I saw you bleeding I," he looked up her with fury in his eyes, his hands moved up to her grip her arms, he felt like shaking her. "Never, never ever do that again Serena," he said in a low menacing voice, Serena felt a chill go up her spine.

"I-I I'm sorry Darien, that yoma was going to attack you and-

"Never ever do that again!" he said gripping her arms.

"But Darien-"

"NO! Don't ever do that again!!" Serena shrank back a little from him; Darien was always scary when he was angry. Darien softened when he saw the slight fear in Serena's eyes; he didn't want her to be afraid of him. "I could've lost you Serena, don't put me through that again," he pleaded staring down at her, letting her see the anguish shining in his eyes.

"Oh, Darien, you must understand that if I'd let that yoma attack you, I could've lost you as well," she said taking his face in her hands. "I know exactly how you feel, because if it had been you the yoma had attacked, I would feel the same as you do now."

Darien sighed as he wrapped his arms around her, "What am I going to do with you?"

"You can take me out for ice-cream today," she said coyly.

Darien laughed, "Alright Meatball Head we'd better get up, and you better call your parents, they'll be wondering where you are."

Serena smiled and hopped off the bed and picked up the phone, Darien rose and as he walked out of his room into the kitchen knowing that Serena would be hungry, he could already hear her chatting away.

"Serena what exactly happened last night?" Darien asked handing Serena her ice-cream which she happily dug into.

"You expect me to know?" she asked.

"Well there's the fact that your wound is completely healed except for some mild soreness," he pointed out.

"Maybe you have a magical power that allows you to heal people," she said smiling around her ice-cream.

"Yeah right Meatball Head," he said with a roll of his eyes.

"Hey! I don't see you coming up with any good ideas oh smart college guy," she said sticking her tongue out at him.

"Put that tongue away unless you're going to do something useful with it," he warned.

"Oh? Like what?" Serena asked.

"Like sticking it in my mouth," he asked knowing what reaction he would get.

"Darien! Keep your mind out of the gutter," she said averting her gaze, "Besides we did that this morning already."

"That was hardly perverted at all," Darien said smiling,

"Can we have more days like this?" Serena asked grabbing his hand.

"Sure," he said. Darien was surprised he actually loved spending time with her, why hadn't he noticed this before. If she was right about all those forgotten memories she kept mentioning in the not-really-dreams, then he needed to gain them back somehow. The obvious problem was that he hadn't known he'd had lost memories, so how was he supposed to remember…well what he forgot?

The next day Serena happily skipped down the sidewalk towards the arcade, her main hangout place on Saturdays. The perfect place to blow all of her allowance money and to find Darien. She'd had been so ecstatically happy yesterday, she'd got to spend the whole day with him! They were growing closer and Serena was confident that he would remember soon, she felt like she was on cloud nine. Sure the yomas had been showing up a little more constantly lately which usually meant the enemy was going to make a move, but she had Darien again. Not as her love, but at least as a good friend and that alone made Serena's day brighter.

"Hi guys!" Serena said as she walked into the arcade spying all her friends over in their usual booth. They chorused a 'hi' back as Serena ran over to join them, Serena looked around the arcade and saw that Darien was already there and sitting on his usual stool talking to Andrew. She smiled knowing as soon as she was done talking to the girls they could spend another day together.

"So Amy did you find anything out about the enemy on your computer?" Raye asked. Amy sighed and pulled out her computer.

"I'm afraid I didn't find much, only a growing power source in our area, I couldn't even get a fixed point on it."

"Don't worry Amy we'll find those Nega creeps," Lita said trying to comfort her friend.

"But what does that mean, is the enemy about to make their move?" Mina asked speculating.

"It's hard to say, nothing like this happened when we were fighting Queen Beryl, but the yomas have been able to get unfortunately a rather large amount of energy these days. Whatever our enemy is using that energy for, it's building up pretty fast, I'm more worried about all the pressure the energy is creating, it seems like its all being stored somewhere. If they compact it all together with enough pressure all that energy could…"

"What Amy?" Raye asked not liking the worried expression on her friend's face.

"Oh, a number of things, it could spontaneously combust…or just erupt or explode."

"What!?"

"Are you sure you can't pin point where all the energy is being stored?" Mina asked.

"No, the problem in it's so much energy it's field is spreading out in a very large range it's impossible to pinpoint," Amy said hopelessly.

"Why don't you just walk around the field with your computer until you find the strongest signal." Serena suggested. They all turned and looked at her; they thought she hadn't been participating in the conversation at all.

"That's….well….a pretty good idea actually," Raye said looking at Serena in surprise.

Serena smiled, "Well, now that I've done my good deed for the day, I'll see you guys later," she said getting up from the booth and began strolling over to where Darien sat.

Serena was surprised when someone stepped in front of her; she looked up and saw it was Alan smiling down at her.

"Hi Alan," Serena said.

"Hello Serena, I haven't seen you in awhile, where have you been running off to?" he asked stepping a little to closer to Serena. She took a cautious step back trying to keep her own personal bubble intact; she didn't like the tone of Allan's voice. All she wanted to do was to go see Darien, and he was only across a room; it couldn't be that hard to shake Alan off right?

"Um, I went on a vacation, that's why I wasn't in school," Serena said hoping it was the explanation he was looking for.

"Really? Where were you? I would've joined you, a beautiful lady like yourself should always be in…pleasurable company," he said moving closer to her again.

"Thanks for the offer Alan, but I don't think that would've been…" Serena trailed off as she glimpsed Darien over her shoulder. Serena saw Ann going up and approaching Darien, and though she couldn't hear what they were saying from the sly look in Ann's eye, Serena could guess what she planned to do. Don't even think about it bitch, Serena practically growled in her mind. She'd almost totally forgotten she was suppose to be talking with Alan, then all of a sudden Ann stood behind Darien and wrapped her arms around his neck pressing her breasts up against his back, her hand tangling in his hair; Serena saw red.

Before she could even think about what she was doing she was standing behind Darien and Ann, and she saw with some satisfaction that Darien was trying to gently dislodge her, but he was too nice a person. Serena grabbed Ann's shoulder and jerked her off Darien. Ann stumbled back with a shriek and landed on the ground on her butt. She let out a string of curses looking up to see who had thrown her, but Serena was already pouncing on her.

Serena latched her hands in Ann's hair and tugged, Serena felt a mild sting as Ann's finger nails dug into her arms, but Serena was determined to teach the bitch a lesson.

"Cat fight!" someone yelled, Darien had spun around in alarm when he felt the sudden shift of weight as Ann was thrown off his back. Serena and Ann were trying to tear each other apart with lots of screeches and scratching. As much as he was flattered by Serena coming to his rescue this was not the best thing to be enacting in a place with so many people, he saw Andrew already moving out from behind the counter to try to break them up.

Darien followed Andrew, but he had to admit breaking up a fight between girls wasn't always the easiest thing in the world.

"Serena," Andrew tried to call her name over the ruckus they making. He reached into their fight and grabbed what he thought was Serena's shoulder, but a hand shot out of nowhere and hit him in the nose. He pulled back in surprised and lifted a hand to his nose to see it was bleeding from an evil looking scratch.

Darien rushed forward knowing that if more people got hit it could turn into some kind of brawl, if a person got hit they wanted to hit back. He looked across from him and saw Alan was going to try to get Ann out of the fight that had ensued. Darien reached into the fight and luckily caught Serena's arm, and yanked her into his arms. He immediately wrapped his arms securely around her waist as she kicked and struggled trying to get out of his grasp to continue beating the crap out of Ann.

"Serena! Calm down!" he yelled trying to subdue her. Serena didn't listen bucking wildly in his arms trying to get free; with a sigh Darien lifted her feet off the ground and carried her outside of the arcade.

"Bitch!" he heard Ann yell as she struggled as well to be free of her brother's arms.

"Takes one to know one!" Serena screeched back.

"I had him first!" Ann screeched as Alan tried to carry her away from Serena.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Shut up!"

"Serena!" Darien yelled trying to get her attention. Serena didn't even spare him a glance until Alan had carried Ann safely around the corner. "Calm down," he whispered soothingly in Serena's ear. As if finally hearing him Serena collapsed in his arms her breath heaving.

"I'll get that stupid bitch," Serena panted trying to catch her breath. Darien smiled.

"Sure you will Meatball Head."

"You bet I will, I'm going to tear her freakin hair out," Serena said suddenly becoming very tired, fighting always took a lot out of her.

"Well I'm very flattered Meatball Head," he said with a smile swinging her legs up into his arms.

"You're welcome," Serena said laying her head on his shoulder. Darien laughed wondering how she was going to explain this to her parents, he would take her back to his apartment and clean her up first; she was sporting some very nasty scratches. He was sure Ann hadn't come out any better; his Serena was obviously a very fierce fighter.

Darien was suddenly aware of the sun shining so bright on his face, the serene blueness of the sky, and the bundle of joy in his arms. It seemed that every day was going to look brighter and brighter, as long as he had Serena.
