Merging Causes So Many Problems

 

~ Once again, it's a MOON/ HY fic, so bare with me. It will also be sci-fi, or maybe fantasy, or whatever it is, it will be weird. K, enough ranting. As you all already know, I DO NOT BELIEVE IN DISCLAIMERS! YOU WANNA SUE ME? COME AND GET ME! HIIRO IS MINE!!! HAHA... what ma? No, I'm perfectly sane, more so than Relena Peacecrap. I don't hate her, I just don't like her. No offense you see... all right! BTW, I'm a NA, so I don't know how the whole Chaos series ends... bare with me and my pitiful knowledge of the actual events, what I know is from spoilers and such, and I make it so Darien died, even though I know he didn't. On with the show!

 

Chapter One: Perfect Isn't Perfect

 

*Serena sighed. It was such a nice day outside. Sunny, and warm, no clouds in the sky, birds singing in the trees, children playing in the park. Yup, it was absolutely the most perfect day anyone could ever ask for, especially in the middle of September. Usually it was cold, or cloudy. But not today. In fact, the only thing that would make it better was the fact that Serena and her friends and family could be out, laughing in the sun, having a picnic or playing tag, or something. Anything would but what they were doing would have made this perfect day better. Instead, they were in the local graveyard. 

     Suddenly, the day wasn't quite so perfect anymore. The sky was now, come to think of it, was rather grayish. The sun was more just a bright light. The birds weren't chirping happy songs, but slow, dramatic ones instead. And here was the Tsukino family and friends at the local graveyard to mourn the loss of a one Darien Mamoru Chiba. As far as the law, community, and Tsukino family were concerned, it had been a motorcycle accident. As far as Serena and the rest of her friends were concerned, it was Chaos who done the deed.

     Yes, it had been Chaos all along. After Serena had become Sailor Cosmos, Chaos hadn't stood a fighting chance to win the battle. The problem was, Serena's power development had come too late to save her beloved from certain death by Chaos' hand. Darien had died valiantly trying to protect her friends in their time of need while she transformed. So, now they were here, all of them. Serena's family, who had only met the poor boy once for dinner, came to support their daughter. The Sailor Scouts, even the outers, came to mourn the loss of a Prince and brave soldier. His best friend, Andrew, who Darien had told who he and the girls really were only a week before his demise came to honor his friend. Serena's friends Molly and Melvin, who had come in support of Serena grasped each other's hands while praying that God rest the dead man's soul. And, of course, back away in a small corner, was the girlfriend of the corpse, Serena Usagi Tsukino.

     Everyone wept tears that day except for her. She sat, simply sat, as if she were in a solemn shock. Of course, that wasn't the real reason. Sure, she cared for Darien, it was as if she had lost her big brother. But no more than a big brother. He wasn't her lover, though she was sure there were rumors about it. He wasn't only a friend, no, she would give him that much. But if someone were to truly look into her heart and see the feelings she felt for Darien, they would find something akin to the relationship and feelings she had for her younger brother, Sammy, only a little stronger. She had already cried so many tears over him that she could not cry any more that day. And so, as the gravediggers lowered the casket into the ground, and as all the people around the hole screamed and wept out in sorrow of the loss, she sat still, an unnerving calm placed upon her face.

     Hiiro Yui was board out of his mind. He couldn't stand up because that would be rude. He couldn't leave because that would be even worse, not to mention a violation against his mission protocols. Gods how he hated protocols. If you had asked him the honest to God truth, he would have said, 'Screw the protocols, I just want to get the hell out of this room!' Of course, being perfect in everyway has its disadvantages as well. You can't just show frustration because it is an emotion, and being perfect means you show no emotion. And of course, when you're perfect like Hiiro Yui is, you have to set a good example for the others who are not so perfect so that they can eventually achieve perfection. At least, this was the reasoning behind the reason he was crazy enough to keep still and not say anything during this boring meeting Relena and three other delegates were having. 'One of these days, I'm going to have to choose: my sanity for her life.' He thought to himself. Finally, he tuned back into what they were saying just as the other four were standing to shake hands.

     "Yes, well Miss. Peacecraft, it's been a pleasure." Said one of the older men.

     "Yes, I agree. I can hardly wait to continue this discussion in the Congressional Meeting tomorrow." She replied, with that smile that made Hiiro want to gag. He too, shook had with all three of the men and nodded to them as they left the building. Finally, he was free!

     "Hold it Hiiro! You forgetting something?" Dropping back into his perfect self, he answered Relena's question.

     "No." Then he made his escape quickly off of the office balcony.

     "Hiiro!" He heard from above him. "You're supposed to walk me home tonight!" Yeah. Like he was actually going to follow through with that order. There were some protocols he never felt bad about breaking. Dates with Relena were on top of the list. As he speed home on his motorcycle, he remembered the Congressional Meeting tomorrow and sighed. He would have to go to that to once again be Relena's bodyguard. Why oh why, did he of all people, have to wash up on that beach, that night? Oh why? He sighed and as he entered his apartment, readied himself for hell. He unlocked the door. He opened the door, so far, so good. He stepped into the apartment.

     "Hiiro! Save me!"

     "Kisama Maxwell! I'm going to rip out that braid of yours!" Suddenly, two blurs ran by him. One taller with a long brown braid and violet eyes tried frantically to hide behind him, while the other shorter one with a short black pony tail and black eyes seethed with rage in front of him. He spoke too soon. He sidestepped the two crazy boys and entered the kitchen, where two more guys were cooking something that almost smelled like food. The short blonde with blue eyes was reading the ingredients to a taller boy with brown hair and greens eyes. The blonde looked up and smiled.

     "Hey Hiiro. Tough day at work? Trowa and I are doing dinner tonight, so don't worry."

     "Hnn." It had been Hiiro's turn to cook that night, but apparently Trowa and Quatre beat him to it. "What'd Duo do this time?"

     "He ate that piece of cake Wufei was saving for tonight." Answered the brown haired boy.

     "Hnn." Hiiro stood up, not really hungry, and walked to his room. He lay down on the bed and a dreamless sleep quickly over took him.*
