Author's Note: I've decided to revises this story and post a new chapter. So hopefully I will be able to finish a story.
The girls walked down the street with their heads down. None of them said a word. All were lost in their own thoughts about Serena. 'He better not hurt her more than she already is or I'll castrate him,' Lita thought with her hands in fists at her sides. (FYI: castrate means cut off the man's family jewels.)
'I know she's safe. He helped her so many times. He won't hurt her,' Amy thought but still had a little doubt.
'I should go ask the fires where she is. I'm sure they'll tell me,' Raye thought.
'I think it is romantic. A handsome man takes you after you've been hurt to nurse you back to health. That's so sweet,' Mina thought with a small smile.
But the girls all shared one thought. 'I should have protected her. This shouldn't have happened. She should have never gotten hurt.' They all got more depressed as that thought went through their minds. Mina was beating herself up the most about this. She believes that it is her responsibility alone to protect her. She doesn't know why she feels this way but she does and tries to protect Serena the most.
They reached the arcade and walked in. Ken, Andrew, Chad and Greg, who came in during the fight, were sitting in a booth near the back. Ken's head shot up when he heard the bells. 'She's here!' Ken thought with joy. He was to excited she came to notice there was something wrong. The other guys noticed right away. Andrew got up and walked to Mina. "Mina, what's wrong?" he asked in a quite voice.
"Nothing's wrong." They both knew it was a lie. Ken, Chad, and Greg got up and went to their girls.
"Are you sure nothing is wrong?" Chad asked Raye.
"Yeah, we're okay."
"Where's Serena?" Greg asked looking for the blonde.
"She went to the park." It was the first thought that popped into Amy's head. Mina turned her head so they would see how upset she was.
"Maybe that's where Darien is? He left after the scream, and hasn't come back," Andrew said as he and the other guys lead the girls to their table.
"Maybe," was all the girls said.
At somewhere unknown to Sailor Moon 'cause she still unconscious. Tux gently laid her in the center on his bed in his apartment. 'I have to stop the bleeding or she'll die.' Since Darien was training to be a doctor he knew what to do. He went into the bathroom, keeping an eye on Sailor Moon to make sure she was okay, to get the stuff he needed. He came out with the medicine supplies and sat on the bed next to her. He carefully examined her injuries. There were gashes on her left arm, right leg and right side. There were a lot of little cuts on her face and right arm. Tux removed his cape and top hat before he went to work. The gashes needed stitches so he did that and cleaned the wounds. When he was finished he gently wiped her face and bandaged the bigger cuts and cleaned the others. She was unconscious the whole time he took care of her. Although she did grimace a couple of times when he was cleaning the cuts. After he was finished he put his supplies back in the bathroom he leaned against the door frame staring at the beautiful being laying on his bed. 'I wish I knew how she was. She kinda looks like Serena. Wouldn't that be funny if she was?' He thought for a minute. "Nah, not possible," he said to himself. He stood up and walked over to the bed. He was standing next to her when he noticed she was sleeping.
"Endymion," she muttered in her sleep. She turned on her side and reached and caught his hand. She gently tugged on it.
'What the......' He guessed she was dreaming.
"Help me." She pulled him again.
'Maybe she wants me to lie down next to her. Well, why not try it. The worst that can happen is she'll wake up and scream, or attack me.' He decided to chance it. He moved her over a little and climbed in next to her.
She instantly curled up next to him. "Save me, Endy," she said in her sleep. She kept saying that and, "Help me." He didn't know how to make her stop. She was trembling in his arms, too.
'Maybe if I talk to her she'll relax.' "I'm here. I'll keep you safe." She instantly stopped trembling and relaxed in his arms.
"I love you." She snuggled closer to him and fell in to a peaceful sleep.
He didn't know what to say to that. 'She loves that Endymion guy, not me.' But he still was happy just the same. They were both lying on their sides facing each other. Her head was on his chest with her right hand resting near her face. Her left leg was in between his two. His arms were around her. His left arm was wrapped around her back, and his right was around her waist. She was sound asleep; he was wide awake thinking about the princess in his dreams and the woman in his arms. 'She asked me to help her like the princess in my dreams. What is it with people asking me to save them? And why does she need to be saved? Well, she didn't ask me, she asked this Endymion guy. But there has to be a connection with Endymion and me, because both women need to be saved and I happen to be the one to save them. Maybe there's a link between Endymion and me.' He continued to lay there thinking about the connection between Sailor Moon and him when he fell asleep.
At the arcade.
The girls were in a better mood. They even managed to smile a couple times. They all stayed in a group, because the guys noticed that when one smiles the others do to. But they still noticed something was wrong.
"Hey, do you wanna go see that movie I promised?" Chad asked hoping to cheer Raye up.
"No, how about we go back to the temple. I want to meditate."
"Sure." They got up and left. When they were outside Chad put his arm around Raye's shoulders and walked to the temple with her.
"Are you guys okay? I mean you seem really distracted," Ken said to the girls.
"Yeah, we're fine," Mina said with a smile.
"I don't think so. I think something's wrong and it has to do with Serena." Andrew looked Mina in the eyes. "Tell us."
"There is nothing to tell. And if there was, we can't, so stop pushing." Mina was mad now, but there were tears in her eyes. "Look I have to go. I'll see you later, or you can call me." She gave Andrew a hug and left.
"I think we better go after her. She looked a little upset," Amy said as she got up.
Lita got up and looked at her watch. "Yeah we have to go. It's almost three. I've got to get home so I can clean up from this morning." Amy and Lita hugged their guys and walked out the door. Lita turned back to Andrew. "Andrew, don't worry about Mina. We all have something on our minds and it has us upset." Andrew was about to say something but Lita continued. "But we have to solve it on our own and we can't tell you it is. I'm sorry." She turned and left.
All three guys were staring at the door. "Why can't they tell us?" Greg asked hurt.
"I don't know, but whatever it is it has them upset," Ken said shaking his head.
Andrew said nothing. He didn't what to say. 'Why can't she tell me? I mean when she would stay here after everybody left she told me everything. Whenever something was bothering her she'd tell me. I don't like her lying to me. I'll call her tonight to see if she'll tell me.' Andrew apparently got up and left. 'I have to talk to Dare.'
"What's eating him?" Greg asked looking at the door.
"Mina, I guess. He's hurt she wouldn't tell him what's wrong. Hell, I'm hurt Lita wouldn't tell me," Ken said taking a drink from his soda.
"I'm hurt, too, but not pissy."
"Well, I don't know. You'll have to ask him what's up his ass."
Andrew walked down the street towards his apartment hoping Darien would be in his. To make sure, Andrew took out his cell and called Darien's.
Tux was sound asleep next to Moon when he heard his cell ring on the dresser. Tux carefully got up and hurried to get his cell before it woke her up and walked to the living room. "Darien here." His voice gruff with sleep.
"Dare? It's Drew, I need to talk to you. Are you home?"
"Yeah, but not for long. I need to do some errands."
"How long do you think you'll be? I really need to talk to you. You sound like you just woke up."
"I did," he said in a heard voice.
"Sorry dude. I didn't know you took naps.' Tux knew Andrew was smiling.
"Whatever. What's eating you? Tell me and maybe you won't have to bother me later."
Andrew told Tux (Darien) what happened with Mina and asked him what he thought. "I don't know why I'm so upset."
"You care about her, you think she's in trouble and you want to protect her. It's natural. But if Lita said they can handle it, believe them. If they need your help they'll ask. You have to trust her. She's a big girl. She can take care of herself. Call her tonight and talk to her. If she can or wants she'll tell you what's bothering her."
"That's what I thought. So I'll call her later. Thanks dude. Hey I'm almost at the apartment building. I still have to talk to you and I want some food 'cause I don't have any and I know you are always stocked. So give a poor man a break and let me stay for awhile."
"Um...I was really on my way out."
"Dude, I'm at the front door of the building. So I'm coming up. Bye." Andrew hung up before Tux could say anything.
"Damn. I hate it when he does that. I have to detransform now." Before he did he went to his room to check on Moon. She was still sound asleep on his bed. If his luck kept up she would sleep till after Andrew left. He walked over to the bed and looked at her. "Who are you?" he whispered. He softly touched her cheek. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. He straitened and walked into the living room to detransform. He finished just when there was a knock at the door. "Talk about timing," he muttered under his breath. He walked over and answered the door. "You know you really are a pain in the ass," he said as he stepped back to let Andrew in.
"Aw.. Man I love you, too," Andrew said with his hand over his heart as he came in.
"What is it you want to talk to me about," he growled as he shut the door.
"Man, you are cranky when you just wake up." He walked over to the couch and sat down.
"Well, I told you I was going out and you just ignored that and came over anyway. Uninvited, I might add. You would be cranky if I did that to you." Darien walked over and sat down in a chair facing the couch. "Tell me the problem, so you can leave."
"Why are you so pissy?" Andrew thought for a minute. "You have a girl here, don't you? What about Serena?" He thought a little more. 'The girls said Serena was at the park and I bet Darien was there and they met up. 'OH MY GOD!' "Do you have Serena here?! Dude, she is SIXTEEN. That is wrong."
"One, I don't have Serena here. Two, I don't have a girl here. Three, if I did have a girl here I would never have opened the door. Shall I go on," he said counting out the reasons on his fingers.
"No, I believe you. It was just a thought." He smiled slightly.
"Well, it was the wrong thought." Darien frowned at Andrew.
"I get it," Andrew said with his hands up in surrender.
"Sorry man. I didn't mean to snap. I got some stuff on my mind."
"You and everybody else. That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Mina was upset today and when Greg asked about Serena she turned her head but I saw that she was upset. And when we tried to guess what was wrong she got mad and left."
"You told me this already, and I told you what I thought you should do. Why did you want to come here? Just to hear what I already told you? What is the real reason you are all pissy?"
"To tell the truth I really don't know. I mean we have only been dating a day but I feel she is lying to me. And I don't like that feeling." He paused for a second. "I guess I'm blowing this all out of proportion. But I can't help it. I really care about her."
"I know dude, but you have to trust her. If she needed help she'll ask for it. Just let her know that you will always be there if she ever needs it."
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Thanks man. Now how about that food," he said with a smile.
"If I feed you, will you leave?" Darien asked as he stood and went to the kitchen.
"I guess. I see how loved I am. I'll leave and let you get to your errands. Can you make me a couple of sandwiches?" He had the most pitiful look on his face.
"Okay. I hope you appreciate this," Darien grumbled as he got the stuff he needed out of the refrigerator and a couple of plates out of the cabinet. Andrew came over and sat on a stool next to the counter where Darien was making the sandwiches for him and Andrew. 'Should I make one for the sleeping sailor in my bed? Yeah, I guess I could but I'll have to be Tux to give it to her or she'll know who I really am. That's not good.' He finished and put the left over's away.
After a couple bites Andrew says, "Man that's good. I haven't had a decent thing to eat in ages."
"You don't eat when you were on a lunch break or on a dinner break at the arcade. You know order something."
"Like I said I haven't had a decent meal in a long time. That food isn't decent to me. I know how it's made so I'm not to keen on eating there." He took another big bite of his sandwich finishing the first one and he started on his second.
"I guess." They didn't talk again till after they were done. "Happy now."
"Very. Thanks again." Darien walked Andrew to the door and grabbed his coat off the chair by the door. "I'll see you later Dare."
They walked out the door and split there, "See you Drew." Andrew walked to his apartment as Darien walked towards the elevator. He went outside and to the ally next to his building. He transformed into Tuxedo Mask and jumped up to his balcony. As he opened the doors he heard Moon whisper something. 'What did she say?' He walked over to the bed and sat down next to her. He looked at her face and noticed that some of her hair fell over her eye. He lightly brushed the hair behind her ear then rubbed his thumb across her cheek.
Her eyes opened slightly and looked at him. "Endymion? Please, don't let me go." She was still half asleep. She reached up and lightly touched his cheek with her finger tips. "I want to stay with you. Don't let me leave you."
'What is she talking about? Where does she not want to go? I doubt she knows what she's saying or doing. I sure as hell am aware of what she is doing.' He smiled as she continued rubbing his cheek. Slowly she hand went around to the back of his neck. 'What is she doing?'
She started pulling his head don to hers. "I'm yours, never forget that," she whispered as she pulled his head down closer.
"I'll never let you go. You are mine. I'll protect you." He didn't even realize he said anything till she smiled.
She pulled him down till they were a whisper apart. "Thank you." She pulled him down the last little way so their lips met. She was leaning on her left elbow with her right hand on the nape of his neck. He moved his arms so they were bracing him on either side of her. 'My sweet Endymion. I know he'll protect me.' She slowly opened her mouth as his tongue came in her mouth then she moved her left hand up his arm. He moved his arms slowly so they wrapped around her waist being careful of her injuries. Both her arms were wrapped around his neck as he slowly lowered her back to the bed. He slowly pulled away to look at her face. She smiled at him, and then closed her eyes and the grip around his neck loosened. He realized then she fell back asleep. 'Damn. That sucks. But hell, that was great. Damn, it was a good thing she fell back asleep. We would have gotten in deep if she hadn't.' Tux tucked her into his bed and got up to go to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. Before he left the room he leaned down and gently brushed her cheek with his thumb. "What am I going to do with you?" he whispered quietly then stood up and walked into the kitchen trying not to think about the angel in his bed.
At Mina's house.
Mina was sitting at the desk in her trying to figure out where Serena was. 'As long as she's gone I'm the leader of the scouts. I can't handle this. We need to find her. She's hurt and might be in danger with this Mask guy. Good thing it's Saturday. Wait what time is it?' She glances at her watch. 'It's only quarter after three. I should call Serena's mom and ask her if she can spend the night in case we might not be able to find her by tonight.' As Mina reached for the phone Artemis came in her room. He walked over and hopped up next to the phone. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to call Serena's mom to ask her if Serena could spend the night. So if we don't find her before tonight her mom won't worry." She started to pick up the receiver then put it back down. "Plus, if we do find her she'll need time to heal so her mom won't ask questions."
"Are you okay? You look like you're about to bust out crying."
"I'm fine. For some reason I feel like it's all my fault. But I know it's not. I can't handle being in charge." Mina put her head in her hands.
"Mina, call the others here and have a little meeting in about twenty minutes. Then go to Raye's to have a sleepover. It'll be a better cover. You need to clam down." Artimis came over and rubbed his head against Mina's face.
"Okay." She pets his head then picked up the phone and called Amy. "Ames? It's Mina. Artimis said for everyone to come over here in twenty minutes and have a meeting then a sleepover at Raye's. How's that sound? Bring Luna with you, please."
Amy could hear how upset Mina was. "Sure, that sounds cool. I think Raye might be meditating but when she's done she'll come over"
"I'll call her and see. Can you call Lita?"
"Sure." They hung up and Mina called the temple.
"Cherry Hill Temple, Chad speaking," a male voice answered. (I think that is the name.)
"Hey Chad, its Mina." Trying to sound cheerful.
"Hey Mina. You feel better?"
"Yeah I am. Is Raye around or is she still meditating?"
No, she's in her room. Hold on and I'll get her."
A few seconds later, "Raye here.
"Raye, its Mina. Come over for a meeting in twenty minutes and then can the group spend the night at your house? It's Artimis' idea, not mine."
"Sure," Raye said, happily. "That sounds like a plan to me."
"Great. Hopefully we'll find Serena and we can patch her up."
"Yeah. Let me get my room clean then I'll be there."
"Cool. Don't be late like Serena."
A slight chuckle came across the phone. "I won't, bye."
"Bye." They hung up and the moment Mina had been dreading has come. "The others are coming. Now I have to call Serena's house," she told her cat.
"Go for it."
"Here it goes." She picked up the phone and dials Serena's house.
"Hello?' Her mom answers on the third ring.
"Hey Ms. Ilene. It's Mina."
"Hey dear, Serena's not here."
"I know. She's here with me. I was wondering...um...."
"Yeah?'
"Well, the girls are coming over here and hanging then we want to go to Raye's to spend the night 'cause she has more room for us. Would it be okay of Serena spent the night?"
"Sure. Since tomorrow is Sunday. I see no problem. Have fun girls and be good for Raye's grandpa." She hung up and Mina sighed in relief.
"I'm guessing she went for it?"
"Yeah. Man I hate lying. Good thing she didn't want to talk to Serena. I don't know what I would have done then." She stood and sat on her bed. Artimis followed.
"You pulled it off. Calm down. The girls will be here soon so let's get cleaning. It'll take your mind of her." They get off Mina's bed and started cleaning.
Somewhere unknown to anyone. (Even me.) There is little to no light around a figure of a monster.
"Ivy?" A voice came from nowhere.
The figure looked up and around for the person who called out to her. "Whose there? Show yourself," she demanded.
"What happened to you?' Another figure appeared.
"The sailor bitches. At least I took out their leader, Sailor Moon."
"How did you do that?"
"Easy," a smile came on Ivy's face. "She was doing her speech and I hit her, hard."
"Good job. But what about the others? Are they through, too?"
Ivy looked at the blood dripping from her chest. "No, I hurt them, but they still got me."
"Okay. Heal up a bit. I'll send another to attack. Since the leader is gone and the others are hurt. We can take them out and then nothing will stop me." He looked at Ivy, smiled, and then left her alone. Walking down the hall to his chamber thinking, 'To bad Moon is gone. She was beautiful. She kinda looked like Serena. Oh well, there is always the party.'
Bum, bum bum. Wonder what that means. I know it's kinda long but I had a lot of time on my hands since my computer crashed. Plus, I want to end this one in a few more chapters. So, I want to get as much detail as possible. Maybe there will be a sequel. Ideas are flowing through my head already. Well, thanks for the comments they gave me some ideas. Keep the reviews coming and I'll keep the chapters coming. Thanks again. Luv Ya. Moon Baby.
