Chibi Lady Disclaimers:I don't own Sailor Moon. A whole Lot of big companies and rich people do, so don't sue me! The other characters are mine, mine, MINE!!!!!!! This story takes place right after Darrien starts to have the dreams and before they go to the future. *This is rated PG-13 Desperate "Prince Darrien. You must stay away from Princess Serena." "But why?""Stay away from Princess Serena. While you are together she is in great danger. Stay away. Stay away.Stay away...." Darrien awoke to insistent knocking. "Coming, coming." Pulling himself off of the bed, he walked to the door."Whos is it?""It's me.Serena. I have to talk to you.""Serena, I am not going to say it again. WE'RE THROUGH!""But Darrien......""No, Serena. I am not going to let my life be ruled by something that....."fumbling with the lock, he opened the door to reveal Serena and "Oh, Hi Reeny. Come on in." He stepped back to allow Reeny entrance and studiously kept his eyes away from Serena's pale, taut face. "Reeny, I?ll be back for you in an hour. Darrien, I...I..I love you!" "Serena, WE..ARE..FINISHED!!!!!!""I don't know how you can be so cold, Darrien. I thought that you loved me, but I guess I was wrong. Just tell me one thing, Darrien Sheilds. Did you fake your feelings for me? Did you? DID YOU?" She waited a second for an answer, and when it became apparent that none was forthcoming, turned, and blindly ran.Out of Darriens apartment building, and through Tokyo. Darrien watched her go with a bleak look in his eyes, and had to fight with himself to resist the urge to run after her.*I'm sorry, Serena, but until I figure out what these dreams mean, this is how it's going to be. It's tearing me apart,too.* Serena ran until she couldn't run anymore. Then, gasping for air, she slowed to a walk and looked around. The sun had already set. It was pitch black out. Clouds hid even the moon from sight. Serena waited, until her eyes adjusted, so that she could survey her surroundings. She was in down town Tokyo. The street was littered with garbage and a slightly sour smell had permeated the air. Everything appeared to have a gray tinge to it. Serena shivered as a chill swept through her body.*This place gives me the creeps* Quickly moving in an about face, Serena was about to leave when a hand on her shoulder stopped her in mid-step. Emitting a startled scream, she whirled around to face her attacker and found herself face-to-face(or more like her face to his chest)with a tall, muscular man. "Hi. My name is James. I was wondering if I could help you?""Ummmm....""I know, you're not supposed to talk to strangers, but I only asked because you look kinda lost." So saying this, he flashed Serena a crooked grin. Any distrust Serena was feeling melted away at the sight of that grin. Despite his muscles, he seemed harmless. "Actually, I AM lost. Could you tell me where the Cherry Hill Street Temple is?" "Better yet, I'll show you. I'll take you there myself." They walked in companionable silence, silence that was only interrupted by his voice, gently directing her where to go. They had walked for about ten minutes, when Serena felt the first twinge of unease. With every step that Serena took, her uneasiness grew. "S...s..s..shouldn't we have been there by now?""It's just up ahead and to the left."Saying this, her took her arm, holding her wrist tightly, and urged her to walk faster. When James pulled Serena into what looked to be an alley, her uneasiness became full blown panic. Fumbling in her pocket, her hand made contact with her communicator. Silently pushing the SOS button down, she also activated the homing device, all the while thanking God that Artemis had insisted on those particular features. Holding her arms tightly at her sides, James's head descended to her mouth. At the same time,Serena opened her mouth to scream, only to have James shove his tongue inside. Serena became desperate to get away. She started to squirm away from him, only to find that that aroused him more. Frantic,she kneed him in the groin. Surprised, and in alot of pain, his arms fell away from her side. Scrambling to get away, Serena made it halfway down the alley before James managed to make a move to go after her. Enraged at what she had done, James wasn't about to let her go so easily. He dove for her, and his fingertips caught ahold of her shirt. Yanking his arm back, he threw Serena against the wall, where she remained, dazed from the blow to her head. The force that he had exerted to get Serena back, however, had caused her shirt to rip. He approached her, eyes wide with desire, and vengeance the only thought on his mind."All I wanted was to love you. But, now I am mad." Serena looked like a beautiful doe caught in headlights. She shrank back as James approached, all the while thinking*Scouts, where are you?* He jerked her to her feet and twisted her arm behind her back. Once again she could feel his lips grinding on hers.*This isn't right. Darrien's the only one for me.* A loud snap was heard, and tears flooded Serena's eyes. Whipping his head back, James' head accidently connected with her chin, and knocked her head back against the wall. He dropped her arm, and stared in shock as it hung limply at her side. "I am so sorry. God, I am so sorry!" With that, he threw her to the floor of the alley, where she remained unmoving,and vaulted over the low wall, dissapearing into the night. End Part One ~Chibi Lady
