Chapter 11…
"Get away from her you bastard!" Lita roared, clenching her fists ready to knock him to the floor.
Rei felt a pang of guilt, and looked over to lita . She realized that her princess was happy with Darien and imagined the consequences of taking her away. Rei could not turn Serena back even with their blessed planetary powers it would still be useless to force her back. She simply starred at Serena for a few seconds as the scouts on either side of her argued their case with Darien.
"Stop." Was the single word that came from Rei as the argument escalated.
"What?" Lita questioned.
"Rei…what is it." Ami looked puzzled.
"We should take our leave ladies. Wouldn't want Artemis to get on our cases about Mina or running so late." Rei chided, but her expression was one of understanding towards Serena and when directed at the scouts it hardened into seriousness over the situation.
For now they would have their night, and the scouts would not report anything related to Serena or her well-being to the guardians. As long as the scouts knew where she was and whom she was with for now that would be enough.
Lita gave Darien a knowing look. "This is not the end." She stated, her tone set in stone.
Serena's eyes grew distant as she thought of her past, on the moon and with her mother. What would her mother say to her in a situation such as this? She knew deep within her heart that her mother would not encourage her to separate herself from the senshi in such an unthoughtful way…but at the same time Queen Serenity would be grateful her only daughter had found a love so strong and befitting of her precious serenity.
Darien placed hand upon her cheek in such a gentle and loving way Serena quickly snapped out of it and quickly responded by leaning into it and grasping his hand with both of hers.
Serena eyes closed and she murmured a promise to herself. A promise that no matter what, she would stick by Darien's side and eventually her senshi as well. There was only one way for that to happen…
The air at the Hino shrine was anything but calm. The senshi were tense and deep down enraged at Darien for having done something so unthinkable. How would this affect the future? Or was this a major part of the future? They knew not.
Mina was laying on Rei's Guest bed, out cold from their previous battle. She had taken a beating, but thanks to Ami and her physician's knowledge mina was bandaged and on her way to a short recovery.
Lita, Ami, and Rei sat at a table no one exchanging glances, but looking rather torn and perplexed about this complicated new situation.
"How could we not know of something like this?" Lita burst the bubble first.
"I should've read the fire, how could I have not read the fire at such a crucial time!"
"Rei you couldn't have known, none of us knew." Ami stated as calmly as she could manage, but her voice was trembling.
Whatever future they had hoped for was tainted, and they were grateful that Queen Serenity wouldn't be able to see her only daughter spending eternity with a cold Vampire.
"Why not take action against this?" Lita begged.
"What good would it do to take her away? How would she survive?" Rei countered.
"Rei is right Lita; we do not have full knowledge of their needs and things that could easily kill them. She is better off with an experienced vampire to teach her the ways, and at least it's Darien, someone we actually know and can find." Ami stated while searching for any pertinent data on vampires and their nature.
"Do you think he actually loves her?" Lita asked Rei.
"You know what; I believe he just might." Rei responded solemnly.
