“Only You” Chapter Two By: Shari Hirtle & Serena Blodgett E-Mail: Odango2001@aol.com OR Miisty4810@aol.com & Serena964@aol.com Rating: PG-13 slight language Hey peeps, Here’s the 2nd chap (or third if u wanna call the prologue a chap, whatever) well, we have nothing to say, so... enjoy!! ^_^ Disclaimer: We don’t own sh*t, not Sailor Moon, not “Daddy’s Rules”, not even the piece of lint we had before.. my cat ate it...oh well. And sorry, but we don’t know who made up “Daddy’s Rules” coz it was a forward we recieved, but we thought it was funny, so..... Darien walked sluggishly into the house. “Hey Darien, how was ur day?” Faith, his foster mother, asked. “‘Sucked.” he said and slammed the door to his room. Faith frowned slightly and walked to Darien’s room, she knocked, “Nani?” he yelled. “Can I come in?” “I don’t care.” She opened the door to see him lying stomach down on his bed. She sat down next to him and put a hand on his back, “Honey, what’s wrong?” “Nothing.” he mumbled into his pillow. Faith smiled knowingly, “It’s a girl, isn’t it?” Without lifting his head, she could tell that he was blushing. He nodded. “What’s her name?” He turned onto his back to look up at her, “Serena.” “The one you got paired up with in sociology?” “Hai.” “Well.. what happened?!” she asked curiously and he smiled and blushed further. “My day was going fine, perfect even, but then...*sigh* I saw Serena at the park after school. I was gonna go and talk to her, but Josh Evans, this total ass from school, comes up and starts kissing her like it’s the end of the world, it didn’t look like she minded either.” “Aaw, my poor baby. If this girl doesn’t like you or whatever, then I say don’t bother with her, I mean, you’d have to be stupid to not like my baby.” “Demo, that’s just it; she’s not stupid at all, and she does like me, but it’s in a ‘friend’ way. She’s the most beautiful, caring, loving person I’ve ever met...” he trailed off dreamily. “She’s got long, thick golden hair, the brightest blue eyes, her voice is like crystal bells, and her laugh and smile are just.. heaven. *sigh* She’s too perfect for me anyway...” he said, his arms behind his head, looking out the window. Faith moved two strands away from her son’s eyes and cupped his cheek, “Don’t say that, Darien, nothing is too perfect for you.” she said, just above a whisper and headed out the door. She walked across the hall into her husband’s, study. She came up behind him with a small smile on her face, “David, Darien’s in love.” %~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~% “Good MORNING class! How are you LIKING the married couples project so far? I HOPE you are happy with your partners, COZ YOU’RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO CHANGE THEM! Well now, TODAY’S homework assignment is to have your parents meet and YES, you have to be there too.” Mrs. Walker said, some kids groaned, some kids “yes-ed”. Darien just sat in his seat, not paying attention to what the teacher was saying, staring at a certain blonde. He sighed sadly and looked down at his notebook, where he had been writing Serena’s name unconsciously. He slowly closed the note book and went back to staring at Serena. Unfortunately, Josh had seen this and was balling up his fists, ready to pound Darien into next week. “Well then, since I have nothing else for you to do, the rest of the period may be a study or social moment, have fun, but not too much.” she said and sat down at her desk, grading papers. Finally, the bell rang, “Bye kids, have a NICE weekend!” Mrs. Walker squeaked and everyone started to rush out of the classroom and out of the school, except Darien. He gathered his stuff slowly and walked out of the room, but right when he stepped out he was jerked back and pushed up against the wall, he dropped his books. He looked straight into a pair of angry brown eyes and knew it was Josh. “Ok, listen, I see you looking at Serena like that ONE more time, I’ll f*ck your face up, k? Serena’s MY girl, remember that, konoyaro.” he said and patted Darien’s cheek, Darien just looked on, expressionless. This was NOT the day to mess with him, especially if your name just happened to be Josh Evans. Darien frowned and pushed Josh off of him. “I KNOW you did not just touch me!” Josh yelled, trying desperately to sound ghetto. Darien smirked, “‘Don’t catch on too fast, do ya?” Then, Josh did the WORST thing he could have ever done in his entire life, he punched Darien. You can guess what happened next...war. About two minutes later, Serena and her friends came down the hall and saw Darien and Josh beating the hell out of each other. Serena frowned and pushed the two boys apart, “What the hell is the matter with you two?!” she yelled. Both guys crossed their arms and looked away, “He started it.” they said in unison. Serena forced out a sarcastic, but angry smile, “Yea, I bet.” she said and walked out of the school, her friends following, shaking their heads at the guys. “Bunny, you wanna come to the temple with us? We’re gonna order a pizza and get our homework over with for the weekend.” Raye asked and Serena pouted. “I can’t, I have to go pick up Sammy from the arcade, then I have to take him to the comic store- I’m promised him.” “Oh ok, gomen, sayonara, Buns!” Darien heard the bells to the arcade door jingle and looked over to see Serena. A small boy with big, forest green eyes and rusty brown hair ran into her arms, she smiled. He held up a paper, “Look Bunny, I got an A+ on my spelling test!” he exclaimed and she kissed his cheek. “Omedetou, Sammy! You ready to go to the comic store?” she asked. Darien smiled adoringly at the site before him, his own words echoed in his head, ‘She’s the most beautiful, caring, loving person I’ve ever met...’ Sammy nodded with wide, excited eyes, “You bet!” she laughed, stood from her kneeling position, and picked the boy up, walking out the door. %~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~% Serena and Sammy were walking slowly past the park when Sammy, suddenly, stopped and made a disgusted face, “Eew, why do people do that, Bunny?” “Do what?” “That.” he pointed to a kissing couple. Serena laughed, “Beca--” she cut off as she squinted to get a better look of the couple. “Josh.” she whispered and started angrily towards the couple, Sammy following. As she got closer to them, she noticed the girl he was with was Sarah Stevens. She stood in front of the two for about a minute, “Ahem!” The couple broke apart, “Se--” he was cut off by Serena’s hand across his face. “ASShole!” she started. “Joshy, what is going on?” Sarah asked, trying her innocent act. “Yes, Joshy, tell us what’s going on, explain to me why you’re hear with that bitch!” “WHO YOU CALLIN BITCH?!” “Well, I..uh..you see...I and then...um..hehe” he stuttered, putting a hand behind his head, laughing nervously. “Go on, go on.” Serena urged, VERY amused. “Fine, FINE! I cheated on you, but I was gonna choose you anyway, baby, so...” he said, this was directed towards Serena, that is, until Sarah slapped him. “I mean I was gonna choose you and then...!” “WHAT?!” “I..!!” he started and both girls slapped him at once and walked their separate ways, leaving him alone with two burning cheeks. Then, Sammy ran back, kicked Josh’s leg, and said, “Baka!” then ran back to Serena. <20 minutes later> Serena opened the door to her house only to find her parents fighting again, Sammy covered his ears, dropping his three new mangas. Serena shook her head, “Lie.. lie, not again.” she whispered as she let her bookbag slip out from her fingers. Then, she started to run away from the house. “Bunny! Bunny, matte, onegai.. don’t leave me!” Sammy cried, but she didn’t stop, but ran faster. She ran until she couldn’t run anymore and she stopped. She looked around and found herself in the park, infront of Man-Getsui Pond; it was called that because when a full moon shone down on it, you could see that there were hundreds of small moon stones at the bottom. She dropped down to her knees and cried over the clear water. Darien walked thoughtfully through the park, so thoughtfully he almost hadn’t heard the soft crying coming from over, near the pond. He walked towards the sound and gasped when he saw that it was Serena crying. He sat down beside her and lightly put a hand on her shoulder, as not to frighten her, “Serena, what’s wrong?” he asked. Without looking up, Serena knew who it was, “Oh Darien.. this has been, like, THE worst day of my life. First, that clumsy ditz, Michelle, burns me with her burner in science, Ms. Lenix gave me a D- on my social studies test, I find you and Josh fighting, I haven’t been able to hang with my friends, I find Josh playing tonsil hokey with that horrible bitch, Sarah Stevens, I go home to see my parents fighting AGAIN, and now I’m crying my eyes out infront of you.” she said between sobs as the tears started to flow faster. Darien pulled her into a warm embrace and began to rock her slowly, running his fingers through her soft, golden strands. “Shh...” he whispered into her hair and unconsciously kissed her forehead through her bangs. He suddenly noticed that her hair was scented by lilacs and orchids AND she was wearing a vanilla perfume, she smelled like heaven!! Then, he felt slow, rhythmic breathing and saw that she had cried herself to sleep. He picked her up and decided on whether to take her to her own house or his. ‘Hm, my house or hers? My house if closer, but I’m sure Sammy probably needs her and her parents are worried about her...’ when he thought of her parents, he thought of their fighting and John; he remembered last year when John, her dad, had come down to the school and posted a list of ten rules of dating his daughter called “Daddy’s Dating Rules”; one was: Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her, your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, or I will remove them...permanently. Darien shivered at the thought of what John would do to him if he came to the door with Serena in his arms and asleep. He decided on his house... ______________________________________________________________________________ We know, it’s a weird place to stop, but...well we wanna keep you in suspense, I guess, hehe. ^_^ Well, hope you liked it, next chapter is last chapter.
