Comments to Reona32@aol.com Destiny Star* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chapter 18 It Has Begun Remembered Love I turned my head and sucked in a breath of fur. I sat up and began to chock. I spat out some black fur and looked next me. I had turned my head right onto Onyx. The cat looked at me with tired green eyes. "Its nice to see you too." I said to her. Looking to the night stand red letters blurred together. I could just make out the time of 5:47. I glanced around the room to find Eric gone. He must have left when he was sure I was asleep. Kicking off the covers I got out of bed and walking into my bathroom. I was completely healed and my hair was a mess. I was forced to turn on the harsh bathroom light because the faint sun light coming through the windows was not enough. I heard Onyx groan and roll over away from the door. "Serves you right." I muttered. I turned on the water in the tub and sat down at my vanity. I put my chin in my hands and stare at my reflection. My mahogany brown hair was in tangles on my head. Tired silver eyes looked back at me. "I know how you feel." I said to the mirror. "Stop talking to yourself." called Onyx from the room. I picked up a roll of toilet paper and throw it out the door and in the general direction of the bed. Giggling came back at me. "You missed!" I sighed and picked up a brush from the table to work on my hair. I got two towels from the closet in the bathroom and sat on the edge of the bathtub to work out the last tangles from the end of my hair. I stared at the water and the steam rising up. The tub itself was marble and very large. Big enough to stretch out in and not touch the other side with your toes. I replaced the brush, undressed, and sank into a tub of warm water. My muscles relaxed and I sighed with pleasure. I wiggled all the kinks out of my body. My ankle was stiff. I gasped in a breath and dipped my head under the water. I washed my hair and used a bodywash with the puff. I rinsed in the separate shower. Grabbing the two towels I raped one around myself and used the other to dry my hair. I walked into the room and got dress in black jeans with my black boots and a white tee. I blow dried my hair and brushed it out again. I put on a head band but left the rest hang down my back freely. "Come on Onyx." I say as I tuck in my shirt. The cat mumbles something that I can't hear and rolls over. I sigh and roll my eyes at her. Picking up a pillow from the bed I hit her with it. Onyx jumps up and falls off the bed. "There, now that you are up we can go down and have breakfast with all the other happy people." I throw the pillow back onto the bed and walk out of the room with Onyx following. In the hall I just missed stepping on Luna's tail. The cat gave a cry and jumped away right before I would have stepped on her. "Oh Luna, Gomen nasai! Daijoubu?" I knelt and petted her. "Hai, Daijoubu. Arigatu." Luna said. Serena stepped out of her room and closed it. "Hey Guys!" She was washed and dress in an outfit she leaves here. "Hi Serena. Ready for breakfast?" I ask. We began to walk down the hall. I can see that see is favoring her side. "How's your injury?" I ask before she can answer the other question. "Its tender but okay." she says. I nod. Our power lets wounds heal faster than they would normally. By sunset the wound should be half healed, the Quickening will put the finishing touches on. At the top of the stair we hear a door open and close. Turning back we see Alania and Jonathan walking toward us. Alania doesn't favor her leg, her Quickening is past. "Hey you two. Going down to the Dinning Room?" asks Alania. We nod and head down together. On the Sailor's floor Serena reaches out and stops me. "I felt the Inners receive their memories last night." she told me. "Yes, Sonya gave them dreams last night." I say. "They all remember their pasts now. We will have to explain to them that the Earth Guard down there is not the same who killed them in the Silver Millennium. Even to Venus." Onyx says. Luna jumps up onto Serena's shoulder and drapes herself. Serena's reaches up and pets her while she thinks. "Maybe we should get them." she suggests. I nod. "You better do it." I say. Turning, Serena gentle taps on Mercury's door. After a few seconds a hesitant answer is heard. Serena pushes the door open and looks inside. The room is dark. "Bit, Lights." orders Serena. The lights in the room come on. Amy is sitting at the computer terminal staring at the screen. "Amy?" asks Serena as she walks up behind the girl. "Yes" answers Amy. "Come on down for breakfast." says Serena. Amy nods and stands. One by one Serena gets the Inner Scouts together. Luna jumps off Serena's shoulder and walks next to Artemis as we make our way down the stairs. Artemis looks at the cat next to him will worried blue eyes. At the end of a short hall we enter the Dining Room through a large arch way. Everyone in the manor is here. Food is set out a table on the right, between two doors that led to the Kitchen where even more food is being held. A long table take up most of the room with lots of chairs. "Look for the chairs with your Planet Symbol on them." Serena instructs the others. People mill about with plates, getting the food as they need it than going back to the chairs and talking with the others. I smile and weave my way over to a table. Picking up a plate I set some eggs on it. "Wonderful as always, Nathan." I say to the cook as he pushes out of the Kitchen door. He gives me a smile as he sets a try down. I pour some tea into a cup and go to my seat. (She sits at the head of the table) "So Small Lady, how did you like the show last night?" I ask the little girl sitting next to Serena. "Oh, I liked the concert very much." she said around a mouth full of pancake. "Swallow Dear." says Serena. Small Lady does and then makes a face. "I didn't like what happened after much." she says. "Yeah well, that part wasn't really planed." says Alania as she sits in her chair and pops an apple in her mouth. "Really? I didn't notice." says Travis sarcastically. Serena throws her napkin at him. "Shut up." The two begin to argue like always and I sit back and watch them. My gaze travels the room, looking at all the people talking. The Outers and Shrio Kage try to get the Inner Scouts to talk to them. They aren't having much luck at it from what I can tell. Artemis stares at Luna, who is at the moment drinking some cream. I shake my head sadly at the two but there is nothing I can do to lessen Artemis's nerves. It will be Luna's problem, for now. I take a sip of tea and continue looking about. I find the Earth Guard looking at the Inner Scouts as much as they can and the Inner Scout doing the same for the Earth Guard. (Loves are sitting next to Loves. The Inners Scouts and Earth Guard on one side of the table and the Outer Scouts and Shiro Kage on the other. The 'Lights' and 'Knights' are sitting at the top of the table. Like Reona is. I hope that helps with the room arrangement.) A smile curves my lips. I think. I look around the room for Darien. He is not in his chair on the other side of Small Lady and he is not walking around. I frown and stand. Walking into the Kitchen I pour myself some more tea. Looking around I find no one in the Kitchen. My frown deepens and my eyes narrow. I all but slam my cup on the counter and jog out of the Kitchen. I push the door open and walk to the arch way. "Serena!" I call. The blond reacts immediately and follows behind me. We reach the stairs and start to go up. "Have you seen Darien?" I ask. Serena shakes her head. "No, not since Travis and Jade made him go to his room last night." I quicken my steps. When we get to Darien's door I knock loudly. A voice I recognize as Jade answers. I push the door open and step inside. Faint light filters from the closed window. "Windows, Bit" I command. The curtains open and bright light fills the room. I suck in a breath. Darien is curled into a ball on his side just laying on top of the bed. He is whispering something so low I can't understand it. Serena gasps and rushes over with a cry. "Darien?!" The wolf Jade looks at me with worried amber eyes. "He's been like this all night. I dare not leave him." he says. "But he is ignoring me." Serena sits on the bed and pulls Darien's head into her lap. "Darien?" she asks softly. Her only answer is muttering. "What is he saying?" I ask as I close the door. Jade shakes his head with a sigh. "He keeps repeating 'I've lost her' over and over again." The true meaning of the words hit both Serena and Me with such force. He thinks he has lost Serena to Travis. I shake my head and rest a hand on Jade. "Lets leave them alone." I start to turn but the wolf pulls away. "I will not leave him!" he hisses out. "Please Jade." pleads Serena. Jade looks at her and slowly nods. Slowly we both leave the room. As I close the door I see a single crystal tear fall from Serena's eyes. With a sigh I make my way down stairs with Jade to explain to everyone why Serena and I rushed out like we did. *****Serena***** More tears slip from my eyes as Reona closes the door. "Oh Darien, say something!" I plead with him. But he just lays there, repeating the same three words. I chock back a sob. I try to stop the tears from falling but I have no control over it. More of my tears slid down my cheeks and fall onto Darien's face. I don't notice when he stops muttering and blinks until he says my name softly. "Serena?" My eyes fly open and I look down at him. My heart stops at the pain in his eyes. "Oh Darien." With a shaky hand I brush back his hair. "Its not true." I blurt without thinking. Darien looks confused and sits up. He pulls away from me and asks very softly. "What's not true?" I try and reach for him but he slides across the bed again. "Everything." I say. The simple action of him not coming to me is tearing at my heart. "Everything you think is wrong." I tell him. He begins to shake his head at me. "You do not understand, you can't know. I have to..." He stands and walks toward the door with the sentence in the air. "I understand more than you think." I call to him. He stops and turns toward me. "What do you understand?" he challenges me with a harsh tone. Slowly, as if I might scare him by moving to fast, I stand and face him. "I understand that you are hurting both yourself and me with the silly notion that you can protect me when you know we are strongest when together." I tell him. I reach up to caress his cheek but he catches my hand and turns away. "I understand that you think Travis has replaced you, which is also not true." He spins back to look at me. "You don't love him?" I smile at him. "Of Course I love him silly.... he is my Brother." "B.b..Brother?" Darien stammers out. I smile and nod. I think to myself sadly. "Prince Tranquility of the Sun Kingdom." I tell him. "Brother to Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom. It was an alliance." I reach up to try to touch him again. My hand gently lays on his cheek. "I love you." I tell Darien. I push myself up on my toes and kiss him. And it happened. What I fear would if I kissed him. Parts of the dream that has been plaguing Darien flowed through both our minds. I saw myself at the wedding and than the explosion. Darien stiffened and I was surprised to see tears run down his face. Than I heard the voice. A voice I would recognize anywhere, even if it was a little older. The voice was of Darien. Than I saw me falling and Darien reaching for me, crying out. I felt Darien try to pull away but I held his head and continued the kiss. I saw in the darkness come a light. And where Darien would once not reach me in the dream I now saw his hand rap around mine. And the light flashed. I screamed out with all my heart and soul. My words echoed through the dream world. "We are strongest when together!" and I ended the kiss. I gasp in air, my heart pounding in my chest. When I was sure I could talk without trouble I told him "That is what I understand." Darien raised his eyes to look at me, a few tears slipping down his cheek. "The Dream is from the future. I can not say from who, I'm bound to it. But it is not real." I grab his hand and hold it to my heart. "To win this battle we all must fight together." I hug Darien, my head against his chest just listening to his heart beat. Slowly, Darien raps his arms around me and lays his cheek on the top of my head. We stand like that for minutes in silence. Darien then pulls away and looks at me, his hands on my shoulders. "I'm sorry, its just the dreams were so real for me and I was afraid....Can you ever forgive me?" I reach up and place my figure to his lips. "Oh my love, I forgive you. I will always forgive you. I love you so much. My heart, My soul, and My power." I place a soft kiss on his lips and smile at him brightly. "Tonight I will see about you getting your memories back but for now you must trust me." I says to him. He nods to me. "Who is Jade?" he asks. I hold back a laugh. "Jade is your adviser." A confused look across his face. "Like Luna?" he asks. "In a way." I say. I rap my arms around his neck and place my head on his shoulder. With a soft sigh that escapes my lips I never want to leave his arms again. In the past I had left the being strong part to Darien and the other Scouts but now I knew I would have to be the strong one. The one who would led the Scouts. I close my eyes and throw a quick prayer to the Moon before I push myself away from Darien. I look at him and hope it all comes out for the best. "Come, we must get down with the others. And you need breakfast." I grab his hand and he follows me out the door. We would have to continue our little together 'time' later tonight. I place my free hand over the Moon Crystal.
