Together At Last
Chapter Five
By Buni Of The Moon

Chapter Five

As the wind whistled through her hair she sighed a longing sigh. She was looking at the moon again, resting her elbows on the window ledge, her hands on her cheeks. Her eyes glistened with memories of past lives, longing to return to her beautiful kingdom. He wanted to take her there, take her up to where her heart really was. He sighed again. She was so beautiful.

She leaned further out of her window, craning her neck to see the moon which was slowly moving across the sky. Suddenly her elbows slipped and she fell, head first, out of her bedroom window. He leapt out of the tree where he had camped for the night and caught her in his arms.

"Thank you" she whispered, slightly startled, but still in her daydream.

"That's quite alright," he crooned back to the girl lying in his arms. The girl he longed to kiss again.

For a moment there was silence as both lovers stared into each others eyes. Suddenly, Serena came back to her senses. "What the hell are you doing in my garden!?" she yelled, startling him. She kicked her legs and slapped his chest until he dropped her to her feet.

"I was only looking out for you, you ungrateful brat! Next time I just won't bother!" he said grumpily with a slight tone of superiority. A grin slowly crept along his face as he saw how worked up Serena was getting.

"I can take care of myself."

"What, like on the road? Like at my house? Yes, yes of course Serena. Of course." She struck him across the chest again and looked up at his sparkling mask. A sudden urge to pick her up into his arms and kiss her crept over him. He smiled and reached for Serena's arms, which were currently flailing towards his chest. He grabbed hold of them and pulled her close. Her nose only just touched his chin, but he didn't care. He scooped her up and held her as if he was about to take her over the threshold. He leant down and teased her lips with his, then kissed her. Her arms reached up around his neck, pushing her lips onto his. He squeezed her waist tightly and enjoyed the moment.

"Serena?" he whispered between kisses.

"Mmmhmm?" she sighed, catching her breath.

"I…I…I think," he paused. "I think I love you." She stopped dead. Had he just said what she thought he had said? Tuxedo Mask noticed her stiffness and opened his eyes to see a surprised look on his lovers face.

"What did you just say?" she blurted out? Standing up to face him.

"I love you" he said boldly. "I have done since I first met you back at the Arcade, since our first fight. I just never realised it." he rambled. Serena stared blinking in disbelief. "Say something, anything?"

"Um, I've got to go. Um, I'll see you soon." She used her sailor powers, jumped up to her window and slammed it behind her, turning her back. Tuxedo Mask was standing underneath her window, amazed by what had just happened. Why had he just said that? Why did he have to ruin everything? Why?! He leapt back up to Serena's tree and rested on a branch again.

"I'll win you over Serena. If it's the last thing I do."

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at her alarm clock and screamed. Throwing her school clothes on she ran down the stairs, grabbing her lunch bag and some toast her mum was holding out for her.

Running down the road, chomping on her toast she turned the corner and ran straight into something. Falling, she felt a strong arm catch her and help her up. Looking into the familiar eyes of her nemesis turned crush she felt her knees weaken again. He bent down and picked up her lunch bag. Winking at her, he walked across the road and round the corner.

Blinking, Serena looked down at her lunch bag and then glanced at her watch. 'Shit' she uttered under her breath and ran faster to her school. Running down the corridor, the bell sounded and she opened the classroom door slowly. Creeping past her teacher, who was facing the board, she took a place in her usual seat between Raye and Amy.

"Serena." said a stern voice from the front of the class. "You're late again."

"I, erm, well, you see miss, there was…"

"I don't want to hear it. Detention." Serena sighed and got out her books.

Later that lesson Raye threw a piece of paper at Serena's head and it bounced onto the floor under her seat. She bent down and picked it up, opening it carefully she saw the scribbled handwriting of her fiery friend. 'So what's with you and Tuxedo Mask then? You two seemed pretty close last night!'

Serena blushed, last night wasn't a dream, it really happened. Tuxedo Mask was Darien. He kissed her. He said, he said. She still couldn't believe it. And the way she had reacted, he winked at her this morning. What was he playing at?

"Serena!?" Coming back from her daydream or recollection of the night before she saw her teacher, eyes blazing, right in front of her. "The answer Serena?"

"Erm, um, 3?" Serena stuttered.

"Serena, we are in an English lesson, three is not an answer. Another detention." Grinning to herself she turned and strutted up to the board. "And don't write notes in my lesson." Serena sank into her chair and took notes for the rest of the lesson.

Lunchtime came fast and Serena found herself surrounded by her eager eyed friends.

"So" said Raye, "What happened?!"

"Come on Serena, tell us!" butted in Mina. Looking at her fellow scouts, Serena sighed and began.

"Well I was out last night on the main road and this shadow thing attacked me." She was deliberately trying to miss out the fact that Darien was Tuxedo Mask. "He came to my rescue and all I remember was blacking out." pausing to look at the intrigued faces of her friends.

"When I came round I was on a bed and he was standing over me. Well, we had a bit of an argument and we ended up kissing. He went over to make us a drink and then that thing came back and that's when you guys came in." She looked back up from her lap, which she was currently staring at. She hoped they believed her. She would talk to him after school, see what he thought. His wink and smile this morning gave her hope.

The bell rang for the end of lunch and they filled into the corridors for the next lesson.

After the final lesson, Raye, Mina, Amy and Lita said goodbye to Serena who was heading for the English room for her detentions. As the group walked down the road Amy spoke up. "Raye? Did you say that it was Darien's house we were at last night?"

"Yeh, yeh I did. You think she's not telling us something?" said Raye.

"Yeh, you remember when she was telling us, she looked uncomfortable. I've never seen her like that before." Mina added.

"Pst," whispered Lita, quickly darting behind a tree. "Get over here." Curious the three friends followed Lita and looked at her expectedly.

"What the…"

"Shut up and look over at Serena's house" Lita interrupted. Obediently the four scouts looked over and saw a young man slumped against the wall outside Serena's house.

"That's Darien!" said Raye loudly, making them all duck to make certain they wouldn't be seen. "What's he doing outside Serena's house? I thought they hated each other…" Looking above the hedge row that had now moved behind, they saw him look at his watch.

"He must be waiting for her" said Mina. She stood up and strolled towards the dark-haired figure.

"What are you doing?!" yelled Amy in a hushed tone.

"He needs to know she's in detention, it's not fair, and he'll be waiting there for ages!" Taking no notice of her friends waving, she strutted up to Darien.

"Hay Darien!" she said, making him jump. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, um" a sudden red flush came over his face and he became quiet.

"She's in detention, double; she won't be out for another hour." He sighed.

"Typical." He said under his breath. "Thanks for telling me though Mina, see you later." Turning his back and walking down the street.

Grinning to herself, Mina swivelled round and returned to her friends. "So…" said Lita, "What did he want?" Mina giggled.

"He just blushed."

"Awww! I think he's got a crush!" said Amy, smiling.

"Lucky Serena."

"What was that Raye?"

"Oh nothing Mina, Let's get going." The scouts stood up and walked down the roads to their houses.

'My mom is going to kill me!' Serena thought to herself. 'Two detentions in one day'. Her head in her hands she turned the corner towards her house.

"Meatball head?" she looked up suddenly, dropping her school bag. "Your such a klutz!" he said fondly. Bending down to help her pick up her bits and bobs, he smiled as their hands touched. Serena blushed and stood up.

"What are you doing at my house?" she asked quietly, looking down at her scuffed shoes.

"We need to talk."
