Mina and Lita lifted out freshly baked double chocolate chip cookies, the smell walked around the whole apartment, Mina sniffed and went to steal one of the cookies until Lita slapped her hand away and laughed at Mina's whimpers, watered eyes and trembling lip.
"Sorry Mina, but these are for Serena to take over to Darien tonight while they work a night shift at the hospital. Yano, I think it is great that Serena is volunteering to help Darien find his way. I mean not every normal hunk of a man, who does look like my ex boyfriend, inherits a hospital and a billion dollar fortune!" Lita laughed, her eyes shining.
Mina rolled her eyes, "Lita, according to you every cute guy that walks your way looks like your ex boyfriend!"
Lita sighed, skipping on her cloud 9 Lita-La-La-Land, "Yeah true. Tommy was cute though! But either way Serena sure is lucky!"
Mina couldn't help but laugh, she watched Lita walk off into the living room leaving the cookies out. Mina smiled with a grin of greed and gobbled up half of the batch, she was just about to start shoving the second batch un till her cell went off, she flippd up and seen Darien's name flash up upon her screen, she raised an eyebrow.
"Mina? Are those cookies cool yet?" Lita asked as she wondered into the kitchen to see the kitchen door slam in a freak wind, Lita folded her arms, "No wonder she left in a rush, and she ate all the cookies! Damn it!"
Mina walked into the Park, she scanned around for Darien, he was standing under a shaded tree, in his biker gear and big black sunglasses, and he looked like a total pimp! Typical of Darien she thought. She quickly crossed over the swing park.
"Darien, why and what did you want to see me about? You made it sound so important! And-why are you dressed like a pimp?" She asked, her light blue eyes flaunting curiosity.
"Look, I don't have much time but Serena is in danger."
Mina's eyes widened.
Serena threw her bag in Darien's office and pulled on her white assistant coat and shoved a small wrapped package into her pocket and smiled down the hallways to the room 606, knocking she opened the door quickly. She was welcomed by a smiling Seiya, she threw him the package and she gave him a wink, he laughed and opened the package, delighting in real food unlike the hospital food that was plastic- like.
Serena took up a seat beside him and rested her head in her arms at his bedside, she smiled up at him, "How have you been? Is Darien taking care of you?"
It was an innocent set of questions and he nodded and smiled, "Aye." They looked at each other then, and suddenly burst out laughing. Serena's cheeks flushed. This felt familiar. "Thanks for the cookies! Did you make these yourself?"
Serena nearly burst out laughing, never mind being a Queen she couldn't even make cookies! Her cheeks turned crimson, "Yes! I did indeed!" She lied, a wide grin and closed eyes cove red her embarrassment at the subject up.
He popped one into his mouth and munched contently, "These extremely good!" He swallowed, onto more serious things. "How long have you and Darien been together?"
Serena paused, her eyes widened, caught off guard she counted the years in her head, "Around 2 years. We have had our moments though. We broke up briefly about a few months ago."
"And why was that Odongo?" He asked carefully, the support and comfort in his voice.
Serena blushed; she couldn't tell Seiya about her being Sailor Moon, not just yet. She couldn't tell him about the dreams, being a Queen in the future. "Ummm, it-just-we had a fight-and it just went from there- He left and we-broke up." Serena pulled her hand free from Seiya's grasp and shrank a way, looking at the ground.
"Do you love him?" he asked.
Her face rose up at that point and her glistening eyes shined into his own, she nodded. He leaned forward, invading her space heis eyes bore straight into hers like daggers.
Rai sat before the blazing and cracking fire, commanding it she closed her eyes and held up her hands in front of her, "I call upon the power of Mars!", she produced a slip of paper with signs scribbled over it and threw it into the fire, it burst and rippled like water. The image of Neo Queen Serenity floated in the fire, her blue eyes fading in colour and her pale complexion looking like Death. Rai frowned, she walked further into her premonition, gasping and clinging to life the Queen lay writhing about, whimpering in pain and whispering ;the Future is Changing, Endymion! Please! Help!"
Rai's eyes flashed open and she panted, pushing herself up she grabbed her wrist communicator off the table, "Ami, Mina, and Lita!"
"Rai?"
"Huh?"
"I'm here!"
"Get over here, I just seen something really weird you guys." Rai explained.
Rai brought in green tea and set it on the table and kneeled down on a cushion and faced the girls. She told them how she had seen the Queen in pain and how she looked as if she was dying.
"The future is changing? What did she mean by that, I wonder."Lita paused.
"Maybe Diamond is thinking about attacking." Artimis suggested.
Rai shook her head, "No it didn't feel like it. The Queen was crying out for Endymion to stop it. This had an entire new feeling to it. Not the same feeling I get when Diamond is about to attack." She scrunched her face up in annoyance, she couldn't place the feelings.
"Um, I don't know what it could mean. Is that all you seen, Rai?" Amy asked, her light blue eyes confused.
Rai nodded, "Maybe we need to go to the future. Find Endymion. Let him know Serenity is in danger."
"But who will be here to protect the present ad the past encase Diamond attacks?" Mina asked.
"But if the Queen is in danger that means Serena is in danger." Luna added, worryingly.
Mina lost herself in the echo of the early conversation she had with Darien, "Serena and Serenity are in danger..." whispered in her ears.
"I wonder does Darien know anything about this." Rai asked, "He always knows it before we do!"
Mina stepped in, she needed to buy time, get away and prepare. "Guys, I'm sure Darien would tell us if he knew, or at least one of us. You know what he is like over Serena. And anyway, I have homework to do and it is getting late, I better shoot on. Artimis you can stay here if you want and update me later on what is going to happen." And with that they watched her shoot out.
Mina sat on her bed and pulled her knees to her chest. She studied the dust circling in the Moon light streaming in from her window. It was a clear night and she could see her home planet of Venus. Venus, the planet of Passion (I made that up I don't know if u could say that...loll), the Queen she was, the goddess of love she was too. But she could not control people's hearts. She could only bestow the power to love onto someone. She sighed heavily, feeling weary, If Serena's heart was in danger there was nothing she could do to stop it. Darien may just be being paranoid but there was something lurking behind his eyes that didn't want to rear its ugly head.
She shook her head; she couldn't do what Darien wanted. Something in her own heart was telling her no. She suddenly caught movement out of the corner of her eye and flipped her wrist communicator watch open, not speaking she followed what she thought was a shadow standing in the light of the hallway behind her door. Mina shaking reached out a hand and pulled the door, she gasped and her transformation stick fell from her grasp.
"Endymion!"
The same night…
"Where the hell is Mina! We could sure use her right now!" cried Sailor Jupiter dodging a bolt of her own thunder that was sent flying at her by the monster Diamond had sent.
"Hey!" Sailor Moon yelled back, her bottom lip trembling and her eyes looking sad.
"Sailor Moon, no offence!" Jupiter said, sweat dripping from her forehead because of her comment and because of the intense workout the Monster was giving them all.
"Watch out Meatball head!" Mars screeched and pushed Sailor Moon out of the way, they tumbled to the ground together, and Mars back scorched from the flames the Monster had attacked with.
"Rai!" cried Serena, worried.
Mars rolled herself off, "Don't worry about me it's that thing we should be worrying about!"
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Mercury cried from behind the forestation "Sorry guys, Computer science ran late!"
"Now Sailor Moon!"
Sailor Moon nodded, "Right!" she spun in her attack, "Moon-Sceptre-Elimination!"
They watched the monster disinigrate into dust, Sailor Moon felt he knees give in and she fell to the ground, semi-conscious.
"Serena! Are you alright?" Asked Lita as she caught the girl.
Serena weakly nodded, "I think so."
A gust of wind blew in, taking gravel and leaves with it, the scouts put a hand across their faces, "What is this?"Sailor Mercury wondered.
"I don't have very good feeling guys!" Sailor Mars shouted, her eyes squinting.
They formed a shield around Serena, and looked around them when they could, keeping on their guard.
A harsh and brash laugh came from the sky, they looked up and seen Diamond' sniggering face.
"Mars Fire-"
"Your attack will be useless Sailor Mars, for I am not showing myself in person." His English accent was really starting to bug Sailor Mars." Sailor Scouts, I'd watch your back for you may just disappear one day!" As his image faded his satisfied laugh increased.
"What is his problem?" Lita scoffed.
"Its-only because-I chose Darien over him" Serena sighed."Wounded Pride."
Mina answered her door to find Serena, as planned. "Hi Serena, Glad you could make it! I baked Cookies with marshmallows in them!" Mina smiled at Serena's delight and nearly fell over in the wind Serena made as she dashed to the cookies.
"Mina! These-Cookies-Are-Amazing!" Serena gasped, crumbs flying from her mouth.
Mina giggled, "Glad you like them!" Mina sat down at the counter and pushed forward a glass of milk for Serena, she gulped it down gladly.
"Serena, I don't know how to put this but Darien talked to me the other day." Mina said, bluntly. The whole time she kept her eyes steadily on Serena and watched her face drop. "Serena, Darien told me Seiya is dangerous and you should stay away from him."
"He is not dangerous!" It burst from Serena, defensively, "He is a gentle person, like Darien! I guess Darien told you about them two being bothers?"
Serena watched Mina nod, and looked down on the counter and pushed the cookies away from her. "He is too paranoid about me leaving him." She pouted.
"Serena, seriously I think Darien is right. Rai told me last week that she had been having bad visions about Neo Queen Serenity being put in danger and because of Seiya. Just think Serena, please. If Neo Queen Serenity is in danger because of Seiya then Rini and Endymion will also be in danger, not to mention the future of Crystal Tokyo too." Mina said in a low voice as if someone were watching them.
Mina watched Serena pull back and pause, her thoughts running in her eyes. Mina touched Serena's hand but Serena whipped it away as if she had been scorched. "Serena, do you really think Rai would lie about having visions about this? She saw it in the fire! And Darien- Well I don't need to say anything more. Promise me Serena. That you will stay well away from Darien."
Serena looked up at Mina, distraught and anger crossing her face. But if Rini and Endymion and the future were really in danger...And Darien and Rai would never lie-"Ok. I'll keep my distance from Seiya."
"Promise me, Serena!" Mina cried.
"I promise!" Cried Serena back, she hated it when Mina trapped her like that. "To be honest, Darien warned me straight away after me and Seiya met. But if Rai is seeing it in the fire-then he must be dangerous."
Seiya was skimming through a book as he laid in the hospital bed, sensing movement he looked up, "Hello, Diamond."
"Seiya, how goes distracting Serena and Darien? And causing friction between them?"
Seiya sighed, "It's going as planned Diamond. That dream you sent Darien worked wonders, he has been on edge all this time since it and he is determined to keep Serena away from me but she steals moments to visit me."
Diamond's eyes matched the glint in Seiya's Dark eyes, "Brilliant."
Diamond turned to go but Seiya reached out and gripped his arm, his brows flurrying, "I want half of what I was promised."
Diamond's eyes narrowed, "And you will get half of Crystal Tokyo and the Moon Kingdom. If come through with this."
Seiya released Diamonds arm and watched him fade into the darkness.
Mina later on that evening crossed her room and dialled Darien's number on her phone, "Darien? I told her. She promised. Just keep an eye on her though. You know what Serena is like."
Darien sighed in partial relief, "Thanks, Mina." He put his phone down and turned, his hands in his pockets as he faced Endymion who was, in all his splendour, leaning against the door frame, looking expectant, "Well?" he folded his arms.
"I must say you are even more expectant and more impatient than I am as my past self." Darien smirked, annoying Endymion more." Mina has convinced Serena to stay clear of Seiya. "
Endymion nodded, "I hope my wife will be in a fitter state when I return to the future. I could get more information out of her that way."
"Are you going now?" asked Darien a little surprised.
Endymion nodded then vanished.
"Ready?" Asked Sailor Mars looking at the circle of her Sailor Scouts.
"Wait!" Sailor Moon cried, and walked over to Darien who stood his hands in his pockets, she looked up at him, stood on her tip toes and kissed him, "Keep the present safe. I love you."
"I love you too. And I will protect this world with my life. I am the King of the Earth after all." He smirked against her lip; he kissed her back and watched her pull. Away and walk and join hands with the other scouts.
"Ready?"
"READY!"
"Sailor Scout Power!"
Darien watched the scouts float up in a bubble into the sky, into the past, he sighed along with Luna and Artimis, "I'll guard you with my life Serena..." He whispered to himself.
Darien took a walk through the park that same morning, his thoughts surrounding him, clouding his mind, making him lose concentration on where he was going. He suddenly stopped, realising he had walked to the end of the park , he smiled to himself at the sight of the brilliant blue ocean, sparkling and glistenening in the morning sunrise, it reminded him of Serena's eyes as it hit against the blaring red of the sun.
"Hello Brother."
Darien shot around, shock written across his face, "Seiya! You aren't supposed to be-How did you get out of hospital"
"That's for me to know." He grinned slyly.
"They'll know you are gone and put you back into that jail where you belong, I hope they do." Darien grunted. "Serena will know your secret Seiya!"
"Thing is, brother-"He spat"-Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead."
Darien, confused saw the gun in his hand, his eyes widened.
"Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead." Seiya sang.
