Hey,
    Once again, I apologize for chapter two being so short and sorry to
say, 
this one might just as short --I’ve got a LOT of homework-- Gomen
ne.... And 
no, this is NOT a Christmas fic, there’s not gonna be a Christmas in
this 
fic, the date here 

IMPORTANT: Serena and I are putting “Only You” on hold for a while
--don’t 
worry, it’ll be back-- because, she just got grounded, I have WAY too
much 
homework, and I’m already trying to write this story for you guys
--don’t ask 
why I started two stories at the same time, coz I have NO idea!-- Well,
sorry 
about this, but as soon as this story is done --only this chapter and
the 
next and it’s done-- we’ll resume back to “Only You”, 
  Arigatou! 

Disclaimer: Don’t own sh*t so don’t sue --if you do, you still ain’t
gettin 
nuttin--

Moonlit Angel: Blue Moon

   Darien opened the castle door and stepped inside. Suddenly, he was
knocked 
down by something --more like someone-- and hit the floor with a thud.
He 
looked down and saw the queen, Celest, hugging him for dear life.
   “Mother, what are you doing?” Darien asked, laughing slightly.
   “Oh, my poor baby! Where have you been? Are you alright?” she cried
and 
Darien laughed.
   “Mother, I was just down at the waterfall and no, I’m not fine, I
think 
you just broke my ribs.”
   “Oh.” Celest said dully and lifted herself from the floor, Darien
followed.
   “Hehe, so sorry dear, I’ll be going now.” she said and rushed down
the 
hall.
    Darien shook his head and started to his room.

(In the hallway)

   Beryl was on her way to Darien’s room when she saw him walking in
the 
opposite direction.
   “Darien!” she squealed and his head snapped up, he rolled his eyes
and 
groaned. She obviously hadn’t noticed because she had thrown herself
into his 
arms.
   “Genki desu ka? (How’ve you been) I’ve missed you so much!” she said
and 
held onto him tighter.
   “N-nice to..uh..see you...” he trailed off as Beryl let go and he
got a 
full view of her.
   She wore a spaghetti strap, TIGHT, overly revealing, black velvet
dress 
that trailed behind her about 5 five feet. Too much make-up: dark
purple eye 
shadow, black eye liner and mascara, a burgundy-ish blush, and fire red
lips 
--not to mention WAY too much perfume *cough*-- 
   ‘EEW!’ Darien’s mind screamed. ‘Nothing like Serena.’
   Beryl tried to smile sexily, but failed miserably, “You like?” she
said 
seductively.
   “Uuh..y-yea, it’s...it’s cute.” he said, disgusted.
   Beryl leaned closer to him, trying to kiss him, but he backed away, 
“Beryl, I’m not feeling so well, I’m gonna go lie down, ok?”
   She pouted, “Oh alright, I’ll see you at dinner then, bye sweetie.”
she 
said and watched Darien walk into his room. 
   Eyes closed, he leaned on the door and sighed.
   “Ahem!” he heard and opened his eyes.
   There stood four expectant generals, Darien laughed.
   “What now?”
   “What’s her name?” Kunzite.
   “Is she even prettier up close?” Nephlyte.
   “Is she single?” Jedite.
   “Is she really an angel?” Zoycite.
   Darien laughed once again and walked over to his favorite chair,
“Her name 
is Serena, she’s absolutely gorgeous, yes, she’s single, and she really
is an 
angel.” he answered.
   “Was she nice or snobby and stuck up like most girls?” Nephlyte
asked.
   “Sweet as sugar.”
   “Well, aren’t you gonna tell us what happened?” Jedite asked.
   Darien smirked, “No.” he said simply and the guys started to whine.
   “Aw, come on!!”
   “That’s NOT 
fair!”~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
   “Come on, we won’t tell!!!”
   “Alright, alright! Just stop whining, you sound like a bunch of
school 
girls!” 
   He told them everything from what she was wearing down to how she
died.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(outside Darien’s door)

   Beryl took her ear away from the door frowning, her dark brown eyes
now 
crimson red, her fists clenched tight. 
   “Angel my @$$, I’ll get that little b*tch. No one steels my men from
me.” 
she growled and walked angrily down the hall.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(After dinner)

   “Celest, may I speak with you?” Beryl asked sweetly with a smile.
   Celest smiled fakely --she didn’t like Beryl at ALL-- and stood, “Of

course, dear.”
   They walked into the next room, “What is it, dear?”
   “Well, I over heard the guys talking and it figures that Darien goes
down 
in the woods to the waterfall to talk to a girl, Serena, who says she’s
an 
angel. He said they do...stuff.” Beryl said, making up the last part.
   Celest gasped, “Why would My Darien do that?”
   “I don’t know, Celest, but that’s what I heard. Oh, look at the
time, I 
must get my beauty rest, goodnight.”
   “Yes, goodnight, dear.” Celest whispered as she walked down to her
room, 
‘I understand why Darien would do this, Beryl isn’t exactly...normal?
But he 
never told me about it, and this girl sounds nuts! She says she’s an
angel?! 
He probably did it because he’s afraid that I’d be dissapointed in him
coz 
she’s probably just another bimbo like all the others... My poor baby.’
she 
thought and turned off the lights.  

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Heaven)

   “But you know it started yesterday! Serena, honey, if you keep this
up, I 
might be rejected; I’m supposed to look over you and make sure nothing 
happens to you! I love you very much, you’re like the daughter I never
had 
and I don’t want to lose you!” Dirna said, a single tear rolled down
her 
cheek.
   Serena, who was crying full blast, hugged her, “Dirna, I know you
love me 
--I love you too-- but, I also love HIM and I don’t wanna lose him so..
I 
have to go.” she let go of Dirna and turned.
   Dirna took Serena’s wrist, “Serena, onegai.. do not go, onegai.” she

whispered.
   “Gomen ne.” Serena whispered back and disappeared.
   Tears spilled rapidly over Dirna’s cheeks as she fell to her knees,
“Oh 
Serena, DO be careful...” she said and continued to cry.

(the next morning~ Darien’s room)

   Darien awoke to the soft sound of Serena’s sweet voice:
   “Darien, Darien, wake up, please.. come on!” she whispered.
   He finally opened his eyes and gasped, “SER--” he started to shout
before 
she put an icy cold hand over his mouth.
   “Shh, you must be quiet.”
   “Why? What’s going on?” he asked.
   “Ok, you see...remember the man I told you about? Diamond? Well, he
is 
allowed to walk the earth every two years in December when there is a
blue 
moon always in the sky, even when there is sunlight: for three days and
two 
nights. The blue moon started yesterday, that means he is looking for
me.” 
she stopped, unsure.
   “Why?”
   “I live still, in heaven. He lives in hell, with unfinished
buisness, 
which is to succeed in killing me on the day he did when we were
alive.”
   “But, you are already dead, how can he hurt you?”
   “He is..uh..dead, as you would phrase it, too. Therefor he has the
ability 
to handle me in the same way as he did when we were alive.”
   Darien seemed to hesitate before coming out with his next question,
“Um, 
this is going to sound kind of random, but why are you so cold?”
   “I’m dead, I SHOULD be cold.” she answered with a slight laugh, he
smiled 
and blushed.
   There was a brief pause.
   “Can hurt me?”
   “No.”
   “Can I hurt you?”
   “No.”
   “So, therefor, I cannot hurt Diamond, am I correct?”
   “Not completely.”
   “What do you mean?”
   “I’m sorry, but I cannot tell you that.”
*KNOCK KNOCK*
   “Umm, w-who is it?!”
   “It’s us!” he heard Kunzite yell. He looked at Serena and she
nodded.
   “Come in!” 
   The four guys stepped into the room and their jaws dropped to the
floor, 
“THE AN--” they all started loudly before Serena put her hand up and
they 
suddenly silenced.
   “Please, you MUST be quiet.” she whispered pleadingly and they
nodded.
   She turned back to Darien, “I have to go now, but you must PROMISE
me that 
you won’t try to help me if you feel I’m in trouble.” she said and he
shook 
his head.
   “I can’t do that.”
   “Yes you can, PROMISE me.”
   He waited a second and looked into her beautiful sapphire eyes, “I 
promise.” he whispered and she slowly disappeared, leaving a single,
silver 
rose in her place.

(waterfall)

   Serena sat down sadly in front of the clear water, a sweet scent of
lilacs 
in the cold air, --the snow had, almost, completely melted-- and the
soothing 
sound of the waterfall ringing in her ears.
   “What a day to die.” she said, just as Diamond stepped out of the
shadows, 
in back of her.
   “Yes, what a day to die,” he said, Serena stood up and turned
around. 
“it’s a pitty I have to kill such a beauty...but, I have to ask; why
would 
you sacrifice your life for his?”
   “Why do you want to kill him?”
   “Because he stole you away from me!” he shouted.
   “You never had me!” she spat back.
   “JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION!”
   She looked down at the ground, “Because.. I love him.” she said
quietly, 
he frowned.
   “You LOVE him, do you? Well then, I’ll just have to reconsider
killing him 
too, won’t I?” with that, he lunged at her, a black limestone sword in
hand.

CLIFFHANGER!! Gosh, I never knew how much fun writing cliffhangers
could be! 
I gotta do this more often! Well, this chapter --I believe-- was a
little 
longer than the last. Sorry to say, but the last chapter --I think-- is
gonna 
be the shortest. Ok, well I hope you liked this one, and thanks for the

e-mails --you know, I wouldn’t mind getting a few more-- Ja Ne!
