"Mina, what is it? Are you alright?" the voice asked on the other side.

"Your Prince has found my Princess" I informed.

There was silence on the other side.

"And how can you be so sure of this, how is this even possible?" he asked

"Have you ever heard of true loves kiss?" I asked with a smile.

Chapter 12

Serena's POV

Feeling a little energised I decided to go to Darien's apartment in style. I was jumping off one rooftop after another. I admit having these weird abilities was fun. I couldn't help but enjoy the adrenalin that was coursing through my veins. Using my abilities like this I know was foolish and risky, but I knew Darien was such a morning person and I had to get to his apartment before he left. It was amazing running at full speed. I was completely sure that to the naked eye, I was just a blur of a whirlwind.

Though the question still remains, why do I have these abilities? I had to talk to Darien, and see if he had come up with a possible theory. Having these dreams had just completely thrown me off track about regaining my memories. I shouldn't focus so much on them, I mean they are just dreams. It could be my subconscious telling me that I'm completely and hopelessly infatuated with a man that I had to dream he was thee actual Prince Charming. I laughed inwardly at my thoughts.

Up ahead I saw Darien's building, as I reached his building I jumped on the nearest balcony railing, which was about five balconies below Darien's one. Feeling like I needed a challenge, I held my position on top the railing and jumped, mustering all the strength I had in my legs hoping to reach his balcony in one leap.

I smirked as I landed softly, quietly and easily I might add on his balcony railing. His doors were open as his curtains flew with the wind. I jumped off landing on his balcony floor. I could smell coffee coming from the apartment as I entered. Looking into his kitchen I noticed he wasn't there so I assumed he must be in his room or the bathroom. I leaned in on the bathroom door placing my ears on the door. It was silent. Maybe he was sleeping I thought. I reached for his bedroom door hand when …

"Serena?" I heard from behind me. I jumped and placed both of my hands over my chest.

"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!" I bellowed.

"How did you get in?" he asked brows creased. I down casted my eyes and absent minded-ly ran my toes on the carpet beneath me in a guilty fashion. I felt as his perfect eyebrow rose at my non-reply.

"You know using those abilities of yours during the day time is risky." He said in an almost disappointed tone yet I heard amusement as well. I lifted my head and saw him shaking his head while a smiled tugged at his lips.

"I know, but well it just feels awesome!" I said starry-eyed teeth beaming.

"May be you should stop using them Serena. You don't want to be pricked and prodded by scientists do you?" he said while tilting his head trying to prove a point. I rolled my eyes at his actions.

"No Sir, I would not like that one bit." I replied with a sarcastic smile. He chuckled at my reply and walked over to the kitchen where he placed the plastic bag he was carrying on the kitchen counter.

"What did you buy?" I asked while lifting my self up with my two arms to sit my self on top the counter. I watched as he grabbed two plates from the cupboard underneath.

"Breakfast" he replied while gathering two sets of cutlery.

"Care to join?" he asked looking up at me. I stared back into his sapphire eyes and for some unknown reason my eyes were drifted from his eyes down to his mouth. I licked my lips upon the sight, and flashes of our kiss came to mind. I felt my cheeks heat up at the images being played. I noticed his mouth had turned into a smirking one and I whipped my eyes back up to his. I nodded in response. This guy knew exactly what went through my mind just now and all he did was smirk. Jerk, I thought. A sense of familiarity with the word washed over me.

I followed him to his four-diner table where he laid out our plates and cutlery. Pulling out the chair across him I sat down and placed my face in my palms propped up by elbows on the table. I watched as he set up our meal. He took out a take away box from the plastic bag and placed two pancakes on each of our plates. My gaze followed him as he walked back into the kitchen and opened his fridge door.

While he did his business, I couldn't help but think how well he's taking everything, my confessions, the kiss and then my unintentional disappearance after. I couldn't help but feel like he knew something that I didn't. I narrowed my eyes at him. What could he possibly know and why is he not sharing? Sensing my narrowed eyes he glanced my way.

"You know you could just ask instead of staring daggers at me" he said with a scoff. Irritating. That's what he was right now. It's like he was reading my mind.

I had to say something before that mocking grin appeared.

"Darien, did I come to your apartment often?" That shocked him. He glanced up from what he was doing and stared wide eyes at me a hint of colour on his cheeks.

"Uhhhh no, why would you think that?" he asked his tone showing just a shimmer of nervousness.

"Well, that night I came over. I didn't even know I knew where you lived. I just thought of you and my feet lead the way." I watched as a soft smile tugged at his lips. He walked over holding out a plate filled with sliced strawberries and oranges on his right hand and a bottle of maple syrup in the other. He placed them down in the centre of the table.

"The only time you ever came to my apartment beside that night was when you dropped off my books that I had accidentally left at the arcade. I assumed Andrew had given you my address." He said sitting down across me. Once he sat I started digging in on the meal. I placed some fruits on my plate and drizzled my pancakes with syrup. I watched as he too did the same.

"You know for someone who says they don't remember a thing you sure remember a lot" and there it was. That mocking grin, jerk I thought and again with the familiarity.

"But those were done unconsciously." I said drizzling more syrup on my pancakes. God this tasted good and I just had breakfast too.

"Good point well made. And I would suggest maybe you should stop trying so hard and maybe it'll all come back in a flash." He said while slicing his pancake.

I stopped eating at the end of his sentence. I can't I thought. I just can't. Not trying is not even guaranteed to work. And me trying helps me deal with the ball of emotions I feel. Confusion, frustration, guilt, worry. The list goes on. Not to mention the loneliness and emptiness I feel not knowing who I was, what I am and what I did for a year. No, I had to remember if not for the sake of my self but for the sake of my friends.

Darien's POV

The moment my sentence ended I felt a tug at my chest. I lifted my gaze from my pancakes to the beauty sitting across me. I watched as her face contorted in that of someone in deep thought. Then I felt the emotions that she was feeling, confusion, frustration, guilt and worry. What tugged more at heart was the feeling of loneliness and emptiness. I was about to move to comfort her when her face turned from that into something I've only seen the Champion of Justice do. Determination. Her faced screamed determination and that was something I had missed seeing. Her eyes found mine, determination still set on her features.

"I can't," she whispered

"They need me, I know they do. I don't know why or what for but all I know is I need my memories to be able to help" I was confused as to what she was saying. Who needed her?

"Who Serena? Who needs you?" I asked

"Rei, Ami and Lita" she whispered. I watched as her eyes turned glassy. She buried her face in her hands. I stood up from my chair and kneeled before her. I slowly peeled her hands away from her face and replaced it with my own cupping her face. I understood then what she meant. Even with her memories gone, something inside of her knew that she was needed. A part of her still knew that she could help. My heart swelled for this fragile woman in my company. Even after all she's been through she is still looking out for those she loves, and pushing herself to her limits for those who need her. She was doing all this for her Scouts.

I softly wiped the tears that rolled down her cheeks with my thumb. She looked so vulnerable and hurt and I wanted nothing but to take it all away from her. I wanted nothing more than to always see a smile on her beautiful face, and I vowed right there and then that I would make it my life's quest to stay by her side, to protect her from all that dare harm her, catch her before she falls, dry her tears before the second drop falls, give her strength when in need, ease her mind when in doubt. I vowed that I would love her for the rest of my days. I placed my lips on hers sealing my vow with a kiss.

SOMEWHERE IN TOKYO AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT

I placed my hand on my chest as I felt a warm explosion within. Geez, they're at it again. There aren't a lot of lovebirds out there capable of expelling so much love into a kiss. And these two managed to do it not once but twice and within just a couple of days. I guess a millennia will do that to you.

I didn't have much time left; if they keep going at it at this rate they'll be naked and under the bed sheets within just weeks. I hoped Kunzite would be able to find and convince his Prince to not touch my Princess again in time. These kisses are doing more harm than good. I pressed the button on my communicator attached to my wrist.

"Artemis, they're at it again. Have you contacted Luna?" I asked in a commanding tone. I hated using that tone, but when it came to Scout business it was necessary.

"Yes, we are to meet at the Hikawa Shrine, at 4:30. Luna will inform the girls after schools out. Which reminds me, hurry up and enrol yourself" he commanded with a sly grin.

"Already way ahead of you Artemis" I said with a wink. I shut the lid of my communicator. I sighed as I stared at the sign saying Juuban High School. With a soft exhale and flick of my hair I entered the gates.

oooo

I walked out the school gates just before the bell rang for classes to start. I had managed to cross the road when something of gold shimmered at me from across the street. I squinted my eyes at the intruding ray of light. After a few seconds it passed, and I searched for where the gold shimmer had came from. My heart stopped at the sight. My feet took a step forward ready to pounce and run towards her, it took all my strength to hold back. But there she stood, my Princess, my cousin from another life, my friend.

My heart swelled at the sight of her. Being too busy protecting her ass, has made me completely forget how much I've missed her. I quickly hid from view behind a tree where I observed her talking to a man with ebony hair, no doubt her Prince Charming dropping her off to school. I watched as they parted ways, kiss-less, which was good. But that heat, that fire that burning desire radiated off them and I couldn't help but miss my silver haired friend that would help me drown that fire I was feeling from them. I shook my head, can't think about that now I'm on duty. With stealth I followed the Prince to Juuban Elite University. Again I pressed auto redial.

"You know back then when you said we would never be able to tell which of us is a better Leader?" I asked.

"Vaguely" He replied. I imagined he had a big smirk on his face.

"Well my dear Kunzite. I have just found your Prince. Now please, if you don't mind, tell me, who is the better leader?" I cooed

"You are" My lips quirked upwards at the reply. Without saying a good bye I closed my phone ending the call.

Two things down, now one to go. After all my hard work, a shopping spree til 4:30, I believe is well deserved.
