CatWomanTM@aol.com This is the most mail I got from this story ever since I started sending it in! 6 PEOPLE!!! I guess I should be a bit disappointed of whatever. But I'm not that kind of person. Well, anyways, here are the results: Darien/Tuxedo Mask: 3; Lita/Sailor Jupiter: 4. (I counted my vote in there) I would just like to thank NeoPrincs(I hope I spelt that right, if not, I'm sorry.), MizBunny25, DCrollin, SemiMel, RParker, and Patience112 for sending in their votes and a few of them even sent in comments *glares at them with deadly eyes*. I'll talk to you guys later. Truth Be Told CatWoman Part 17 I looked at Amy, then Darien, then the Spirit Scouts. MY jaw dropped at their reactions to what Amy had just said. I gave them all a disappointed look and walked back into my room. I leaned up against the door and slid down to the floor. I borught my knees up to my chest and rested my head on them. 'How could they?' I thought. 'All they care about is the Royals of the Moon. Not their friend. What would happen if I denounced the throne?' A knock at the door stopped my train of thought. "Who is it?" I asked with a depressed tone. "Serena, are you okay?" a female voice asked. "Yeah, I'm fine Faith. Why do you ask?" I replied clearing my tone to one not so obvious to my emotions. "Well, can you let me in? I kinda want to talk to you privately." she said. I stood up and wiped the back of my dress free of any dirt that may have gotten on me. I turned, opened the door, and motioned for Faith to enter. "What do you want?" I asked, shutting the door behind her. "What's wrong?" she asked. I opned my mouth to answer but she almost immediately cut me off. "And don't feed me the line that you're fine because I know you and I know how you are and you are not fine. Something is wrong and I want to know what it is!" "It's what Amy said, alright!? She said: '...or else we just might lose our next moon queen.' She said nothing of me being her friend or anything. And to me, that really hurt, you know!? I pride myself not on being the moon princess, or the next moon queen, but being a sister to you and to Fate and to Hope and even to a brat like Destiny. Also on being a friend to Amy and everyone else. And, to being the future wife to Darien. And like I said, it hurt when Amy referred to me, not as her feiend but, as 'the next moon queen.' " I answered, starting to cry a bit. "Oh, Sere. I didn't know. I'm so sorry." Faith sympathized. She approached me and wrapped her arms around me tightly. "Faith.....I.....need.....air!" I managed to get out. "Oops. Sorry. I didn't mean to. she apologized, letting go of me. I took a deep gasp of air for dramatic effects, only to recieve a light punch in the arm from Faith. "I'm going to go now and leave you be. That is unless you want me to stay or....." she beagn. I knew what she was implying and for that, I had to give her credit. I smiled and nodded to her. She hugged me briefly and then left. A few moments later, Darien walked in. He immediately approached me and embraced me, kissing my left cheek in the process. "What was that for?" I asked, a little surprised by the action. He released me and took a few steps back to fully look at me. "What? Can't a guy hug and kiss the woman he loves?" he asked in his defense. "A guy can, yes. But you, sir, have never done that before in all the years that we have known eachother. I was just a little surprised, that's all." I answered. He took a few steps towards me, placing his hands on my upper arms. "Oh, is that all?" he asked, smiling. I looked up into the intense and deep blue voids that were his eyes. He lowered his head towards mine, our lips only a mere cintimeters away from eachother. The door swiftly flew open. "YOU TWO! OUT HERE! NOW!" the angry voice of Raye rang through the room. She turned and left, leaving the door open for all who wished to peer inside. Darien turned his head towards the door, an angry expression on his face. he held his hand up, showing his fingers only cintimeters apart and mouthing the words 'This close.' I smiled, grabbed his hands, and led him out into the room where everyone else was. "What's so urgent that you had to interrupt us?" he asked, a bit annoyed. I looked around at everyones faces. They were all staring at Darien and I with disapproving expressions. I didn't understand what was going on. ~*~*~*~*~* Okay, kinda odd. I would just like to say, that if you read this and it you notice that I mentioned some things in the beginning that I haven't used or haven't used yet or whatever, it's probably either because I forgot about them, didn't mean to put them in, or will use them, just not at this moment. Just thought I'd clear that up. Talk to you latel! Adieu
