Chapter 9

Tease and Play

"Darien…" Serena asked him.

"Well… we're going to be sleeping together tonight." Darien said still smiling and Serena's eyes widened in shock.

"No!" She said and tried to move only to be pinned down by Darien.

"Why not Princess?" Darien asked her leaning closer to her.

"No, Darien, I don't want that, please don't." Serena begged him.

"What ideas are going through your head?" Darien asked hen leaned close to her ear. "I only said sleep with; I didn't say have sex with you."

"What's the difference?" Serena timidly asked.

"The difference is one requires less contact than the other one."

"Then… why are you holding me down?" She asked again.

"Because you look like you're about to jump out of your skin and run."

"Do you blame me?"

"No, but still, I can't let you do something like that." Darien said and then a knock came at his door, before his door swung open and hit the wall with a loud thud.

"And what are you doing with my Serena!" Seiya yelled at Darien walking over to the bed.

"What I'm doing is none of your business. Get out of my room you're not welcomed." Darien said coldly.

"No, I won't leave until I get to talk with Serena." Seiya demanded looking at Serena and Serena turned her head to not look at him.

"I don't wish to speak with you." Serena said breaking Darien's grip, and turned to where she was lying face down, her face buried in the pillow. Though Darien was still on top of her.

"Serena please, Darien is no good for you to be married to! He'll just cheat on you over and over because you'll never be able to satisfy his needs." Seiya was trying to talk to her and Serena kept shaking her head. "Serena please just say something!"

Serena turned back to where she was lying on her back and then she sat up, and Darien removed himself from being on top of her, sitting beside her on the bed.

"If I can't satisfy him… then that's okay. He can have his mistresses on the side if he wants to." Serena said looking down at the sheets; sadness was laced into her eyes. "I mean, someone like me could never be able to fully satisfy him. I'm not experienced; I'm nothing like the girls he's done so far. But I'll marry him anyway, even after knowing all the facts from the beginning. It's okay, I don't mind if he goes else where for pleasure… as long as he comes home to me at the end of the day."

"And that's okay with you?" Seiya asked angered.

"Yes, that's okay with me." Serena replied slowly and Darien straddled her legs and took her face in the palms of his hands.

"Serena, if we are going to be married… I would never cheat on you; nor would I ever think of getting any mistress. If we're going to be married, it will just be me and you, no one else. And I have no doubt in my mind that are will probably be the best I've ever had." Darien was looking into her eyes as he said everything. Serena smiled back at him, all the sadness in her eyes disappeared.

"And you believe him?" Seiya was furious.

"Yes, he may be my future husband. I trust him with my heart." Serena put her hands on Darien's, and closed her eyes. Serena and Darien were just staring at each other when Seiya grabbed Serena's hand and pulled her to him.

"I will not have it!" Seiya hissed at her before roughly pinning her to the wall and kissing her. He forced her mouth open and slid his tongue in her mouth.

"It feels so disgusting… why does it feel so… different when Darien does it." Serena though as she struggled against him. Seiya slid his hand up her bare leg and reached her thigh before Serena grabbed his hand to stop him. It all happened so fast Darien had little time to react. Darien stood up and walked over to his brought forcibly tearing him away from Serena, as she gasped for air.

"If you ever touch her in that way again, I will kill you myself." Darien threatened him with a murderous look in his eyes.

"Oh really? Then it looks like we're enemies now; because, I will never let her go. I will make sure she marries me!" Seiya also threatened him back. The two brothers stood at opposite ends of the room, Darien in front of Serena, and Seiya was about 10 feet away from Darien. They were staring at each other, like lions, they would fight to the death for one to be dominate.

"Get out of this house." Darien all but growled at Seiya.

"I'll be back… and I will get what I want." Seiya stomped out of the room. Darien didn't leave where he was standing until Seiya was out of the room.

"Are you okay?" Darien asked the shocked Serena. Serena looked at him at first before walking up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Kiss me," Serena softly spoke. "Please, kiss me."

Darien lowered his head to hers before their lips met. He pulled away before he started to want more out of her.

"Let's just go to bed okay?" It's been an exhausting day. Tomorrow there's school, so you should be safe from Seiya there." Darien said pulling her over to the bed for her to lay down with him.

"What about dinner?" She asked.

"Are you hungry?"

"No, not really." She replied.

"Then we'll skip dinner." He said and tucked her into bed before climbing in bed himself. She turned on her side so that she could see his figure in the dark.

"Darien." She said his name.

"What is it Serena?" He asked her back.

"Can… can I cuddle with you?" she asked and got nothing for an answer. "I'm sorry for asking such a stupid question." She flipped to her other side feeling like an idiot for even asking such a thing. Then she felt two arms wrap around her waist and she was pulled into Darien's chest, where he hugged her.

"You really are innocent aren't you?" He commented into her hair, tightening his grip around her waist. Serena shifted back to face Darien, then brought her arms underneath Darien's and placed her palms flat on his back.

"You smell good." She commented and he laughed at her comment.

"Good night, my little trouble maker." Darien said and in no time both of them fell asleep.

Darien woke up to find his bed empty of a certain person's presence. He stretched, walked over to his closet, took out his school uniform and went to the shower only to find it already occupied. He knocked on the locked door.

"Just a minute! I'll be out in five!" Serena called out from behind the door. Darien leaned against the wall by the door until it opened and a wet haired blond, in only a light pink bath robe stepped out. "Showers all yours." Serena said walking to her room and shutting the door. Darien shook his head then entered the bath room, closed the door, undressed, and got into the shower turning the hot water on full blast.

Though down stairs something else was going on. Ami walked out of her room and opened the bath room door with her eyes shut, shut the door. She had a blue lace see through night gown on, wasn't wearing a bra, only underwear.

"Um, mind knocking next time?" A voice said looking at her and she opened her eyes to see a naked Zoycite just stepping out of the shower. Her eyes roamed over his pale but toned body

Ami froze at the sight in front of her and could only stare at him with a pink blush across her cheeks. "See something you like?" Zoycite asked not bothering to cover himself up, walked closer to her and leaned in towards Ami. She couldn't move. "The bath's all yours now." He lightly nipped her ear lobe and then blew into her ear and she turned as red as a tomato. He trailed his finger lightly up thigh. Then he exited the bath room laughing all the while at the expression on her face. She stood there for a few minutes before she walked over to the shower, undressed, and turned the shower on. She stood under the shower head letting the water run over her body as she recalled what had just happened with Zoycite.

They were all standing outside waiting for Rei and Mina to come out of the house. It was unusual that Serena wasn't the last one out today, but actually she was one of the first one out of the door. Zoycite was standing by Jedite talking and laughing with him, while Ami stood as far away Zoycite as she could. Zoycite looked at Ami who was clearly trying to avoid his glaze. He decided to play with her more. He walked up to her and put his arm around her waist pulling her to his side, where he leaned over to her ear.

"You know, my beautiful blue haired princess, you are just too easy to tease." he whispered in her ear and she turned more red. "But, I think I have just taken an interest in you. From now on, you'll be the one to who I want to bed next."

"What?!" She quietly whispered turned her head in the direction on his voice and he didn't waste a chance to capture her lips with his. Her eyes widened at the contact. He licked her bottom lip and she involuntarily opened her mouth a little, he took the chance and slid his tongue into her mouth. She made a kittenish sound when he did this.

"Zoycite, stop teasing the poor girl." Jedite said putting his hand on Zoycite's shoulder. Zoycite broke the kiss with her.

"This is just the beginning, my blue haired princess." Zoycite whispered in her ear again before releasing her and walking off with Jedite towards school.

"Ami are you okay?" Serena asked her, though Darien had a firm grip on Serena, so she wasn't able to move very far. Ami only managed to nod at Serena. Rei and Mina came chattering out of the house.

"It took you guys long enough." Lita commented to them and they only smiled back.

"Oh, we were just chatting about guys." Rei smiled mischievously.

"Oh god." Serena commented and Darien looked at her. "You don't want to know." Darien started walking and pulling Serena along with him. Serena couldn't keep up with his long strides. "Damn it Darien, let me go." Serena told him trying to break away from him.

"Why?" Darien asked.

"Because Ami needs me and I can't keep up with you, let go." Serena demanded and Darien let go of her. Serena quickly escaped and rushed to Ami's side.

"Ami what's wrong? Why did Zoycite do that to you?" Serena asked the blue haired girl who was still in a daze.

"I don't know…" Ami slowly said. "He said... I'm his new interest… Serena what does that mean?"

"Interest?" Serena asked. "Oh Ami! You have someone interested in you!"

"I don't think I like it though Sere." Ami said worried. "I can't just sleep with random guys like Mina and Rei… I'm like you; the only guy I can sleep with is my husband."

"Yea, I know this, but Ami just think! Someone actually has some kind of interest in you. That's better than not having anyone at all." Serena tried to convince her, but it didn't work.

"Sere! I love Greg! I want to be with Greg!" Ami said to her.

"Greg is already engaged Ami, when are you going to realize that?"

"I can always hope it won't work out…" Amy said looking at the ground while walking. They were nearing the gates of the school.

"Ami, just give him a chance? I mean Zoycite seems really nice. And Greg will never leave his fiancée for you. You know this already." Serena told her in a soft toned voice.

"I can't Sere!" Ami said and ran into the school.

"Make her mad?" Darien asked in her ear and she jumped.

"No I didn't, she's afraid because Zoycite has made her his new interest." Serena said turning around looking at him.

"I would be too if I were her." Darien laughed and Serena was confused.

"What do you mean?" Serena asked.

"Zoycite and Jedite… often like to have 3-somes with the girls they date. They say since they're twins, it shouldn't be a problem and none of the girls have ever complained about it either." Darien explained.

"Are they even from Earth?" Serena stated rolling her eyes and Darien looked at her.

"No, actually all my Generals are from different planets. And it is quite common for people to have 3-somes." Darien stated.

"What do you mean they're not from Earth?" Serena asked.

"Later, bells going to ring." Darien walked past her and into the school building. Serena ran to her class room so she wouldn't be late.

"Hey Ami." Zoycite asked and sat on her desk looking at her. "Would you like to go somewhere with me this afternoon?" He asked clearly so the whole room would here.

"N… no thank you…" She stuttered and the whole class gasped because Zoycite had gotten turned down.

"Why not?" He asked teasingly.

"Why should I want to?" Ami asked him back.

"Yea, we'll go." Serena butted in and Zoycite and Ami looked at her.

"We'll make it a double date." Serena announced, Ami turned red, and Zoycite raised an eye brow at her.

"And who is going to be your date? Darien is busy after school." Zoycite said to her.

"Jedite won't mind, would you?" Serena asked looking at Jedite who looked up from a book he was reading.

"I won't mind what?" Jedite asked confused.

"Being my date after school today. Zoycite asked Ami to go, but she's to shy to go by herself. So I figured you could be my date and we could go on a double date." Serena said and Jedite raised an eyebrow at her then smiled when she winked at him.

"Sure, I won't mind being Serena's date this afternoon. This will be fun." Jedite said and then the teacher walked in the class room. Ami was completely red at the idea of even going on a date with someone other than Greg.

"I won't have fun. I swear I won't!" She declared to herself as the teacher took role for the students.

School past too fast for the blue haired princess, who was still hesitant to go on a date with someone other that her beloved Greg.

"So where are we going?" Jedite asked Zoycite who was walking between Serena and himself.

"Where would you like to go Ami?" Zoycite asked but Ami once again gave no answer. Serena past Zoycite and hooked her arms around Jedite's. Putting Zoycite and Ami side by side.

"It's just a trap to get Ami to open up, please don't think to much ok?" Serena whispered to Jedite and he looked at her.

"It's okay; I know what you had planned when you asked me to be your date." He whispered back. "You figure since Zoycite and I are twins, it'd be more comfortable for Ami if you and I went with them." Serena nodded at him then smiled.

"I know! Ami loves books. Let's go to the library!" Serena suggested, Ami's face lit up for a moment and Zoycite caught that, before it changed back into an emotionless expression.

"Then the library it is." Zoycite said and saw Ami's expression changed again.

They walked over to the Library. Ami's face lit up on how big it was.

"Amazing, this is almost as big as mercury's Library." Ami smiled as she ran up to in and beckoned for the group to walk faster. She ran inside and just stood there looking at the six story library. Books lined the selves of all four walls around the building.

"Actually, if I'm correct, this is bigger than Mercury's library." Jedite said to Ami and Ami looked back at him.

"How do you know that?" Ami asked surprised.

"Ah, Darien mentioned that you aren't from this planet. What planet are you from?" Serena asked the twins.

"Our mother was from mercury, and our father was from mars. I was raised on Mercury while Zoycite was raised on mars." Jedite explained.

"We knew of each other but didn't meet till we were 8 years old. Our parents wanted it that way. We were sent to Earth to become generals to Darien. That's when we met again and have been inseparable since." Zoycite explained to Ami and Serena.

"Malachite is from Jupiter, and Nephilte is from Venus. Though it looks like the other way around. Darien and Malachite have known each other since they were in first grade. Though Nephlite was the last one to join our group. He was 10 when he join." Jedite told them and Ami looked between Zoycite and Jedite.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd just say you two were brothers not twins." Ami said to them.

"Why?" Zoycite asked her.

"Because, Jedite is taller than Zoycite. Zoycite has longer hair than Jedite. Jedite isn't such a flirt as Zoycite. And Zoycite is a lot louder than Jedite." Ami rambled off some of the differences between the two.

"Well aren't we observant?" Zoycite teased and Ami's face went red.

"I'm…. I'm going to look at books!" Ami made an excuse then escaped. Zoycite followed leaving Serena and Jedite there by themselves.

"Shall we look around?" Jedite asked Serena.

"Sure, but I'm not a book worm." Serena said and let Jedite lead her around the book store.

"So… does Rei have a boy friend?" Jedite asked as they climbed the stairs to the second story.

"No she doesn't." Serena told him. "Why are you interested?"

"Maybe I am." Jedite simply stated and Serena looked at him.

"What do you think of me?" Serena asked when she got to the top f the staircase and looked down at Jedite who was a few steps from the top.

"Define what you mean?" Jedite stopped and looked at her as she fidgeted.

"Do you think I'm as cute as Rei?" Serena asked again then looked down.

"I think you are as cute as Rei. If Darien wasn't meant for you, would I try to date you, yes.'" Jedite told her and Serena smiled happily turning and skipping through the second story. Jedite just smiled at her and walked behind her.

"I'm glad," Serena said turning around fast and was now face to face with Jedite. "I'm glad you think I'm as cute as Rei. I never though I was." She was smiling still.

"You're welcome." Jedite said to her as they just stood there. Someone bumped into Jedite and he stumbled forwards kissing Serena on accident. They quickly separated and Serena touched her lips. "I'm so sorry." he quickly apologized to Serena.

"I'm sorry, my bad." The elderly man apologized to them.

"Oh, it's not a problem" Serena said smiling at him.

"It's okay Jedite, it was an accident. No harm done right?" Serena asked.

"I hope not." Jedite responded as they searched through the books.

__

"Ami, why are you so cold?" Zoycite asked as Ami climbed the fifth staircase to get to the fifth story.

"I'm not being cold…" Ami stated.

"You are too. Why are you so afraid of talking to me?"

"I just don't want to fall in love with someone I know nothing about." Ami said going through the books on the selves.

"Then why don't you give me a chance?" Zoycite asked.

"Because the last person who said that he had an interest in me, was engaged to my older sister." Ami said to him. "And I don't want that to happen again. I fell in love with him, then my sister introduced him as her fiancée. I don't need that again."

"So you can't fall in love with me, because you're still in love with him?" Zoycite asked.

"Yes." She whispered but he heard her.

"Just give me a chance?"

"No." Ami said flatly. "Do you know what it means if you have sex with me?"

"No, what does it mean?"

"You automatically become my fiancée. Like Serena, the only person I'm allowed to have sex with, is my husband or soon to be husband." Ami said turning and looking into his eyes. "Once sex takes place, it's till death do us part. There is no divorce in the mercury royal family. Are you ready for something like that?" Ami asked and she didn't get an answer out of him. "I didn't think so." Ami turned and walked through another aisle of books.

"You're right Ami. I'm not ready for something like that." Zoycite admitted to her.

"Then don't try to play with my feelings Zoycite. I don't need be hurt twice." Ami said to him still looking through the book cases.

"Why is it that only the moon and mercury are the only planets like that?" Zoycite asked.

"They're not the only ones like that. Saturn is also like that. The three planets wanted to stick to the tradition style of roman catholic marriage, with is no sex until marriage and once married, there is no divorce." Ami explained to him picking up a book of poems. "Some planets were able to get out of it; others, like mine, were not so lucky."

"Ami, I really do like you." Zoycite said again and Ami looked at him coldly.

"No, you're just in love with the fact that I'm royalty and not able to have sex until marriage. And that excites you, so that you'll try to make me want you. And after you get what you want, it will all mean nothing to you. I'll just be another girl on your list of girls you've had sex with." Ami bluntly told him. "And that is also another reason I'm not interested."

"And if I told you that you were wrong?"

"I'd say you're a very bad liar." Ami told him again.

"Well I'm not lying, and I really am attracted to you. I know everything about you as well. I researched it because I wanted to know more about you."

"Prove it then."

"How do you want me to prove it?"

"You said you researched about me and my planet correct?"

"Yes."

"Then why I it that I am the youngest, yet I am the heir?" Ami asked him.

"Well blue hair is the mark of the Mercury Royal family. Only a blue haired child can be the heir of the Royal family." Zoycite told her. "I also know that you are the only blue haired princess to ever be heir to the throne. Blue hair is more dominate in males than in females of your family. Though you have one brother and he has teal hair not blue. So he can not be the heir to the throne. You have 3 sisters. They also do not have blue hair. Out of all five siblings, you are the only one to have blue hair. That is why you are the heir."

"When will I be able to take over the throne?"

"Once your father thinks it's time for his reign to end, you will be named Queen. Unlike most other royal families though, you do not need to have a husband or suitor to take the throne. Your coronation can take place first, and then you can look for a King." Zoycite smiled at her and she just gave him a cold stare.

"Which planets can I look for a husband on?"

"Only the inner planets, though Serena can pick from any of the nine. The outer royal families can only pick from the outer planets. The inner royal families can only pick from the inner planets."

"Why should I pick you?" Ami asked him the final question looking coldly into his eyes.

"Well, I am part mercurian, but I can't give you a reason why you should pick me." Zoycite said and Ami's eyes widened.

"He's the first person not to give me a whole load of shit on why I should pick him." Ami was in shock.

"All I can say is that, if you give me a chance, you'll find your own reasons to pick me." Zoycite finished. Ami's eyes went back to being cold as she turned away from him.

"I'm not giving into you that easily, but I don't see why I can't let you prove yourself." Ami stated and Zoycite's eyes lit up.

"Oh that you Ami!" Zoycite hugged her and licked her earlobe.

"Get off." Ami pulled away from him blushing. "Stop doing that!"

"But Princess, it's fun to play with you. Teasing is so much fun." Zoycite smiled at her then grabbed her wrist.

"Knock it off." She tried to pull away again but he backed her into the nearest wall pinning her there.

"You look so… delicious…" Zoycite said and was inches from kissing Ami when a book smacked him upside his head. He lost his grip on Ami and she quickly escaped to where the book was thrown.

"Don't you think you can just go around kissing people when ever you feel like it!" Serena said angrily then threw another book at him, which smacked him in the face.

"Serena! You're going to damage the books!" Ami complained and Jedite walked up behind Serena.

"Why don't you mind your own business?" Zoycite told Serena standing up.

"Ami is my business!" Serena told him and threw another book at Zoycite, who now dodged it.

"Serena! Stop it! You're going to damage the books!" Ami complained again.

"What about me Ami! I'm getting hit here." Zoycite stated.

"You'll live, these books are old, they might not even be in print anymore. You can't destroy antiques!" Ami said grabbing a few books from Serena's hands and putting them on a shelf in one of the book cases.

"Be more concerned about me!" Zoycite complained walking closer to Ami only to get another book in his face, then Serena threw an encyclopedia at his chest. He landed on his back exhausted.

"Wow, that must have weighed half of her. How the hell did she throw it?" Jedite asked looking at the thick book on his brothers chest.

"Those poor books!" Ami cried out.

"We're going Ami!" Serena grabbed Ami's wrist and pulled her down the stairs of the library until they were at the bottom floor. Serena continued to drag Ami out of the library and Jedite just looked at his brother.

"Darien sure is gonna have his hands full with that one." Jedite watched Zoycite gasp for air.

"How the hell… could she… have thrown… this giant book?" Zoycite asked through gasps.

"Good question, but what we walked up on didn't help your luck." Jedite laughed at him.

"Could you… help?" Zoycite was wheezing now. Jedite walked over and picked up the 50 pound book off his brothers chest and put it back on it's podium where Serena grabbed it from.

"Make a memo note dear brother, don't anger our Prince's soon to be wifey." Jedite was still laughing as his brother just laid there on the floor trying to regain his lost breaths.

Okay what do you guys think? The next few chapters are not going to be focused on Serena and Darien. Yes of course they wll be in it, but they will not be the maih in part. Ami and Zoycite are going to be the main focus in the next chapter. Just a heads up.
