This story takes place during the R season.
On with the story . . . .Chapter 1:
Author's and Darien's POV
At the arcade, Darien walks in by himself and takes his
seat at the counter. He looks at his watch again, I read 2:55.
'Great,' he thought to himself, 'I still have five more
minutes to wait till they get here!'
He looked around and saw that
Andrew was busy with a customer. Not wanting to disturb him, Darien
just smiles and Andrew does the same. Suddenly, he heard the doors of
the arcade open and looked up to see six girls and two cats. He was
searching for four men and two more girls, one with blonde hair, the
other with pink. They did not come. They all exchanged greetings and
proceeded wordlessly to secluded table, away from everyone.
Lita: "Hey Dar, you're probably wondering where Serena
is right?" Before he could answer, she continued, "Well, it's really
hard for her now, and considering you don't even want to see her
anymore, we figured that it would be better if we filled her in on
the details of this meeting later. Besides, she's spending the day
relaxing with Rini, and the Generals stayed behind to protect them."
Darien was lost in a train of thought. Although he
didn't show it, he was very upset that the girls thought he hated
Serena and never wanted to see her again. But, then again, that's
what he wanted them to think; he was doing this to protect her,
because of that stupid dream. But, he was happy to hear that his
'moonlight angel' was spending the day with Rini, since the two of
them have been getting along lately. It made him feel a little better.
Rei: "WHY'D you have to tell HIM that?!! It's none of
his business where she is and what she does!"
That hurt a lot. Everyone knows that Rei and Serena
always fight, but what they don't know is that they really care for
each other. They are more than just friends, they're more like
sisters, and they would do almost anything for each other. Neither
will ever admit this in public though.
Ami: "Anyway, let's get back to the topic at hand,
please!" (AN: leave it to Ami to get everyone back to reality).
Rei: "Alright, fine. About last night, Ami, is there
anything else that can give us a clue about how Diamond and Wiseman
pulled it off."
Ami: "No, I'm at a loss. I even went to the alley
where Serena said it happ-"
Rei: "AND!!"
Ami looks up and then back down at her mini-computer,
punches a few buttons, and reluctantly says, "and, and nothing . . .
the only thing I found out from there was that Serena's blood was
almost everywhere . . . . . . . they did a number on her."
