By: Aleria 

Come see my web site at: moonqueen.pyar.com 

Apology: And sorry for not writing in awhile I was on vacation and I 
feel real bad. Also I just could not get the hang of the new way to 
send in my fanfics 

Disclaimer: No I don't own Sailor Moon, nor will I ever. So I'm just 
borrowing the characters and attacks (possibly). I have a few 
made up characters. Okay so just don't sue me or anything. 

Hope You Enjoy!

Darien walked and saw Celeste on the floor of the telephone booth. 
She had calmed down but when he saw her face his heart grew sick. 
On her right check was a horrible burn mark and she had a black eye. 
Darien ran to her and helped her up. 

"What happened?" he asked in horror. 

"Jared" she whispered. 

Darien bit his lip and clenched his teeth, "Why?" 
"He found your number." she muttered miserably 

Darien's eyes burned with rage, "I'll take you to the hospital" 

Celeste's eyes widened in fear and begged, "No! Not there he'll be waiting!" 

"Fine then at least come to my place," Darien offered. 

Celeste hesitated but agreed. 
************************************************************ 
At his apartment Darien took a first aid kit and began to take care of 
Celeste's injuries. For a while they sat in silence then Rini came into 
the room and asked, "Darien who's this?" 

Darien answered calmly, "This is Celeste, now go back to bed" 

"Good night" Rini yawned and left. 

"Is that ... is that your daughter?" Celeste hesitantly inquired. 

Darien blushed bashfully and lied, "My sister, our parents died a while 
back and she lives with me." 

"Oh so sorry" 

"It's not a problem," Darien murmured not wanting Celeste to notice 
tears forming in his eyes. 

"Ah!" screamed Celeste as Luna jumped into her lap. 

"It's just my cat, Luna" 

"I hate cats" Celeste grumbled. 

"Sorry," Darien apologized and took Luna from her lap. 

Celeste's eyes wandered around Darien's apartment. For some reason 
she felt very safe here. She focused on a picture of Darien holding a pretty 
blonde who resembled her in many ways. "Was that your girlfriend?" 

Darien clenched his teeth and answered, "Yes" 

"What was her name?" she asked innocently. 

"Serena" Darien choked. 

"Pretty name, pretty girl," Celeste whispered dreamily. 

"Yes," Darien quickly answered. 

"You miss her a lot" Celeste said as she looked at Darien sadly. 

"How can you tell?" he asked. 

"Well, you must if you still have a picture of her," she replied. 

"She was my true love," he whispered. 

"Are you sure?" Celeste asked. 

"Yes," Darien assured. 

"But she died?" Celeste reminded. 

"So?" Darien whispered. 

"So how can she be your true love if she left you?" Celeste 
questioned. 

"She was killed, she didn't want to die! And she didn't leave 
me on purpose," Darien growled at Celeste in a cold and 
hurt voice. 

"I'm sorry" she whispered quickly. 

"It's all right," he murmured. 

"How was she killed?" Celeste began 

"It's late do you mind staying here?" Darien interrupted. 

"No" 

"Then take the couch ... Goodnight" 

"Very well, Goodnight" Celeste said and went to bed. 
************************************************************ 
The next morning Celeste awoke and watched Darien prepare 
breakfast for Rini. She knew he was right, Jared would kill her 
practically any day now. She wished Darien would like her, but 
then she realized how pathetic she looks to him and how he couldn't 
like her. She sighed and tried to sleep again. 

"Celeste?" Darien's voice woke her up. 

"Yes," she yawned. 

"I'm going to the hospital come on," Darien told her. 

"All right," she yawned again. 
************************************************************ 
In the car Darien drove without saying a word until he asked, 
"Why do you stay with him?" 

Celeste hesitated, "I love him..." 

"How can you love someone who beats you?" 

"I don't know" 

"There has to be a reason" 

"Probably because no one else would love me..." 

"That can't be true," Darien concluded as he parked the car. 

"It is" Celeste responded as she got out of the car. 

"No, it's not" Darien argued. 

"No one would like me," Celeste grumbled. 

"I like you," Darien said trying to cheer her up. 

"You do?" Celeste asked quite surprised. 

"Yeah" Darien sighed. All of a sudden Celeste kissed 
Darien very suddenly and very passionately. After a second 
Darien quickly pulled away. 

"I'm sorry" Celeste whispered. 

"Celeste, when I told you I liked you I didn't mean that way. 
I think you are very sweet and nice but I'm in love with my 
girlfriend very much, even though she is gone I can never 
forget her, I sorry." 

"It was my fault, I'll go some place else..." Celeste explained. 

"Don't," Darien told her still uncomfortable from Celeste kiss. 

"There you are!" bellowed an angry Jared. 

"Jared," Celeste swallowed in terror. 

"Come on!" Jared ordered Celeste and grabbed her hand so 
tightly that she cried out in pain. 

"Let her go, "Darien commanded calmly has he took a firm 
hold on Jared's arm. 

"Stay out of this! It's none of your business!" Jared yelled. 

"No, it is my business, because Celeste is my friend!" 
Darien growled. 

Jared was about to punch Darien when Celeste stopped him 
and begged, "Don't hit! Please it was my fault and I got him in 
this, it wasn't his fault" 

Jared looked at Darien coldly and then looked at Celeste with 
the same coldness. "Come on!" he ordered and threw Celeste 
in his car and drove away before Darien could even move. 
************************************************************ 
Darien watched the starry sky that night on his balcony he was 
very confused when Celeste kissed him. For even though he pulled 
away he felt as if he was kissing Serena. Darien knew Celeste loved 
him but he didn't love her. 

"Darien," whispered a voice. 

Darien turned to find the Moonlight Arch Angel standing next to him. 
"What are you doing her?" he asked in surprise. 

"I have come to warn you, Jarelle will attack the Sailor Scouts tonight 
while they are in the park," the Moonlight Arch Angel explained. 

"WHAT?" Darien screamed, "How do you know this?" 

"I just do, now come on," the Moonlight Arch Angel explained hastily. 
************************************************************ 
Tuxedo Mask jumped from building to building with Sailor Chibi Moon as 
the Moonlight Arch Angel glided on her silver wings. 

Until they came to the park where Jarelle had already begun to attack 
the Scouts. 

"Venus! Love and Beauty...." 

"Jupiter! Oak..." 

"AHHHH" they both screamed as Jarelle hurtled blasts at them. 

"Arch Angel Kiss of Death!" screamed the Moonlight Arch Angel 
and took Jarelle by surprise. 

"I'll get you yet you silver winged pest!" he yelled as he hurtled a 
blast at her which she gracefully dodged. 

"Watch out!" Tuxedo Mask screamed and pushed the Moonlight 
Arch Angel out of the way of another blast. 

"Tuxedo Mask!" she called out as he collapsed to the floor. The 
Moonlight Arch Angel then began to glow a brilliant shade of silver and 
at the top of her lungs cried "Arch Angel Revenge!" and an immensely 
powerful blast hurtled at Jarelle who quickly disappeared. 

The Moonlight Arch Angel collapsed to the ground in exhaustion. Then 
for a brief moment she began to flicker and fade. 

"What's happening?" Super Sailor Chibi Moon asked. 

"I don't know?" Super Sailor Mercury replied. 

"She's disappearing!" Super Sailor Jupiter exclaimed. 

"What?" Tuxedo Mask asked wearily as he tried to get up. 

"Look at the Moonlight Arch Angel," Super Sailor Mars told him, 
but when they looked she had disappeared...
