Disclaimer: Unfortunately I still don't own Sailor Moon. ON with the Story!
~Previously~
"Trista told me you were stronger than this. I don't appreciate you holding
back."
"But I."
"But nothing Princess, Lesson two: you hesitate, you die."
~Presently~
Amara thrust her space sword at Serena. She dodged to he left, the cold
uranian steel missing her flesh by only a few millimeters. Quickly
regaining her footing, Serena flashed swords with the soldier. This had
caught Amara off guard, pushing her back a couple feet.
She smiled at the Princess. "That is more like it."
"Don't get too cocky, this is just a warm up." Serena said in a serious
tone.
Serena closed her eyes. Drawing on her energy. Her ki flared and a golden
light shrouded Serena, flashes of Sailor Moon, Princess Serenity and Neo-
Queen Serenity flashed before Amara's eyes.
The other senshi just stared in amazement.
The light around Serena faded. When she opened her eyes, Amara could see
that where were once sky blue eyes, were now a silver metallic blue.
Serena's power pulsated through the air making it difficult for Amara to
keep her balance. Being a soldier of discipline, she managed to keep her
footing.
Serena smiled at Amara.
Amara smiled back.
"Lets do this."
All that was heard was the clashing of Lunarian and Uranian steel.
After thirty minutes of this, Serena gained a bored look on her face.
Amara on the other hand was struggling to breathe.
"What's wrong soldier? Getting tired?"
"What's wrong Princess? Getting cocky?"
Amara charged head on at the Serena. She deflected the attack with her
right hand and caught Amara's left wrist in hers. She kneed the soldier in
the stomach and held a sword to her throat.
"School's out." Serena told Amara.
The soldier closed her eyes and bowed her head to the Princess.
"I accept defeat."
When Serena said nothing, Amara looked up to find Serena's outstretched
hand before her. "You are not only my guardian but you are my friend. I
hold respect for you and your strength in the highest regards. Please,
stand beside me and not behind me."
Tears of joy, love, respect and gratitude streamed down Amara's face. She
took Serena's hand and stood.
"You are not only my ward and my Princess but you are one of my truest
friends. I will stand with you and go where you go always. My sword is
yours to command."
Serena engulfed Amara in a tight hug.
When Amara and Serena looked at each other again, she could see that
Serena's eyes had reverted back to their usual sky blue. All the bruises
and cuts they had acquired during their fight had disappeared.
Amara gave Serena a questioning look.
Serena just winked at her. "You three can come out of your hiding place
now."
Trista, Michelle and Hotaru came down before them.
"How did you." Hotaru started.
"As I have many things to learn from you, I have many thins to teach you."
Serena explained. Yawning she said, "Well, time for bed."
The five of them walked back into the house and went to bed.
The next morning Amara had dropped Serena off to school. She had told her
that Darien was to pick her up from school and that she was to wait for him
outside the gates. Serena walked into her first class for the day, Advanced
Placement Culinary Arts. She knew that Lita was in that class so she had to
be careful and stay clear of her. Serena took a seat in the middle of the
class. Lita sat towards the back. She could feel her glare boring holes in
her back.
Lita raised her hand and the teacher called on her. "It seems someone has
wandered into the wrong class. Somebody should tell her we don't give out
free food in this class." The whole class turned to look at Serena. She was
the only new student in the class.
"Actually Ms. Kino, Ms. Tsukino belongs in this class. Today is her first
day. She was transferred to this class because she has passed the cooking
exams."
Lita looked at Serena in astonishment. "That's not possible. Serena burns
air."
The teacher was about to say something until Serena stood and faced Lita.
Everyone in school knew Lita was the strongest chick they'd ever seen
before. They also knew that Serena was the first person to befriend her, so
they were shocked to find Lita saying such mean things to such a sweet
person. It was widely known that Serena never did or said anything mean to
anybody.
"Ms. Kino, its obvious that I'm in this class because I have skill.
According to the school exam my culinary abilities surpass even yours. So
obviously I'm doing something right."
Lita's body twitched in anger, her fists were clenched by her sides. The
teacher cut in before she could say anything.
"Ms. Kino, if you have anymore useful information, keep it to yourself."
"Yes, Ma'am."
The class had quieted down and the teacher went on with her lesson. The day
went off without a hitch. Amy was in all her other classes except for
fencing. That class Serena had with Mina. "She always was the athletic
type." Serena grumbled to herself.
In the locker room, the girl got dressed in their fencing outfits.
Serena purposefully chose a locker on the opposite end of the room. She
didn't want anyone knowing it was her being transferred in the class. Every
new student that took the class had to spar with the best in the class and
if the won then they had to fight the instructor. The class knew that Mina
was the best and no one had bested her yet.
Serena pulled her long hair into a single ponytail and pulled on the
fencing mask.
She walked out of the locker room to where the rest of the class waited.
She had the number 21 on her back. There were now 21 students in the class.
The numbers were used to tell how many students were in the class and what
position the students held in ranks. Mina was number one.
The instructor was a tall, good looking athletic man in his late
twenties. His name was Marcus Channing. He had come from the United Stated
to Japan to become a fencing instructor. He gathered the class's attention
and introduced Serena to the class as number 21.
Per Serena's request he wouldn't reveal her identity until after the
challenge. The rules were explained to Serena. A group of girls that stood
towards the back with Mina were given her mean glares. "Class this is our
new student 21. 21's identity will be revealed after the challenge is
completed." He motioned for Mina to step forward to the mat and take her
place.
The class grew silent as Serena took her place at the mat. Mina took
her stance while Serena just stood there. "Don't you know that you have to
take your position?" Mina asked 21 impatiently. Serena just shrugged and
raised her sword. She had never known Mina to say anything mean to anyone.
'I guess some things do change.' She thought to herself.
Frustrated Mina charged at her. Serena side stepped her attack easily
and brought the sword down on Mina's back. She collapsed to the floor in
pain. There was a collective gasp heard among the students. No one had ever
been able to strike Mina. Furious that she was just tripped by a newcomer,
Mina got to her feet and took a deep breath. She retook her stance. 'This
could actually be fun.' Serena thought to herself. A small grin played at
the corners of her mouth. She touched sword with Mina and the real match
began. After several minutes of dodging and touching swords, Serena grew
bored.
Mina became frustrated. This new person had deflected all her
attacks. With one final attack left, Mina charged at her opponent. Her
sword held above her head, Serena moved to block the attack when Mina
reversed and swung her sword to the left. Another gasp reverberated through
the class at the sight that was before them. Serena had caught Mina's sword
in her left hand and held her own to Mina's throat. The students watched on
in awe. Some one had actually bested Mina Aino.
Mina just stared at her opponent in shock. The one word no one in the
class would ever dare say to her was just uttered. "Touché." The whole
class broke out in applause. The instructor walked up to the two and
clapped a hand on Serena's back. "Congratulations 21," then said to the
class by way of introduction, " Class let me introduce to you our new
number One, Serena Tsukino." At that moment Serena took off her fencing
mask. Another collective gasp was heard around the class. It was now known
that Mina, Lita and Ami had dropped Serena from their group. Horror and
shock contorted Mina's features.
"This isn't possible!" Mina yelled out in fury.
"It seems that it is Ms. Aino, you are now number two. Serena beat
you fair and square." The instructor explained and mildly admonished. He
knew that the girl would grow vain and hubris would one day overcome her.
He had just wished that he wouldn't be there to see such a talent as hers
go to waste. Mr. Channing took the label with the number one on it and
handed it to Serena. He noticed that throughout the fight she would pause
and test her opponent's skill. She would study the challenger's moves then
find a way to refute them. Mr. Channing could see the wisdom, patience and
innocence in Serena's eyes. She was not one to gloat like Mina did.
Serena accepted the label and handed Mr. Channing the label marked
twenty-one. The warning bell to go to lunch rang in those few quiet moments
that passed between the two students and the instructor. Breaking the
silence, Mr. Channing said, "Ok kiddies that the warning bell, hit the
showers and vacate my gym." The class went in and changed for lunch.
Mina was furious. She didn't know what to think. 'How did that clumsy
bitch beat me?' She yelled in her head. She had called and emergency scout
meeting for lunch. Rei was on her way and Lita and Ami were already waiting
for her. She got dressed and left in a hurry.
Serena heard Mina call for the meeting. She just shook her head. It
was sad that here former friends never had any faith in her abilities. She
walked out of the locker room when the cell phone that the girls had given
her rang. When she answered she was greeted by Darien's voice.
"Hey babe." Came Darien's voice over the line. Serena blushed at
hearing the endearment. "Hi Darien, how did you get this number? I know
Amara didn't give it to you." She said knowing how protective the older
woman could be.
"Actually, she gave it to me. She suggested that I should take you
out to lunch."
"Is that so?" Serena asked skeptically.
"Yes that is so, even if she hadn't you know I would have risked her
wrath to be with you." Serena blushed again and mildly admonished him for
doing so. Darien just chuckled. "I'm sorry Princess. I didn't mean to. So
how about you head over to the gates and I'll wait for you there." Serena
agreed and ended the call.
As she walked to the front gates she saw Darien's silver Audi TT. She
also saw Rei trying to get her man's attention. She was not in the mood for
this, but she was not about to sink to that skank's level. She also
noticed that she had her lackeys with her. With a foreign confidence, she
walked over to Darien, put her arms around his neck and kissed him
passionately. ~Kiss me~ She said through their link. ~Gladly~ He replied to
her. He tightened his arms around her small waist and lifted her. He had
put down the hard top of his new ride before he got to the school. He
lifted Serena and placed her in the passenger seat without breaking the
kiss.
Darien kissed her soft lips one more time. He lowered his black Gucci
shades over his blue eyes and went around to the passenger side totally
ignoring Rei. He started the car and it purred softly. "So babe, read to
go?"
Trailing manicured nail down his chest and said with a sassy smile.
"I'm with you."
Okay ppl this is for you. Thank you so much for all the reviews. I love you
all so much. I have a lot of packing to do and I don't know when I'll be
able to update. I'll try to do so on Saturday and Sunday but I can't
guarantee anything. That's why I made this chappie so long. Thanks again
for the reviews. Wish me luck!
