When I change View points, the person that?s talking, or telling the story will be in little astriks. (ex: *Darien*) and when it?s my vp, It?ll be in *Alexis*. Disclaimer: Sailor Moon is not mine, unfortunatly. Oh well. And thx to Mako-chan, Starlite, Defender Capricorn, and all those other peeps who have helped me! And go read Mako-chan?s ?Serena and Darien together??....NO WAY!!!!?, any of Alicia?s, and my personal favorite by Nicole Cherre, ?A Trusting Heart?. It?s great!! Anyways, here?s my story: Alexis-chan E-mail: aqua_moonstone17@hotmail.com Don?t Take My Angel.....Darien?s Story. *ALEXIS* Darien slowly made his way down the crowed halls. He nodded to Amy Anderson when he past the pediatrics section of the hospital. He was deep in thought about what happened yesterday. ?Dr. Chiba!? Darien turned around as he heard his name called from behind. He turned to see a young woman running towards him. ?Yeah Cathy?? He asked Cathy, one of the nurses at the registration desk. ?A girl called for you, a Serena Tsukino. She said that she would be here in about an hour.? Cathy told him, checking the note in her hand to see if she got the correct information. ?Okay, thanks.? Darien said as he turned around to leave, hoping Cathy would take the hint, but she didn?t. ?So, is this Serena your cousin or something?? Cathy iquired. ?No, she?s my girlfriend.? Darien told her bluntly. ?Oh, for how long?? Cathy, hoping that they hadn?t been together too long for him to get attacted to her. ?Oh, around 2 1/2 years.? Darien said nonchalantly. ?Gosh. 2 years. Didn?t leave you very much space to date other girls.? Cathy hinted, moving closer. Darien noticed this and stepped away from her. ?Well, I haven?t ever cared to date anyone but her. Now if you?ll excuse me Nurse Hytrin, I need to find Nurse Jansen.? ?Oh, she?s at the office.? Cathy said, sulking slightly. ?Please tell her to meet me in room 429 in ten minutes.? Darien said as he walked off. ********** Serena was grabbing her purse and looking around for something that she had lost, ?Sammy! Have you seen my keys?? Serena hollored at her little brother who, like always, was in front of the t.v. playing nintendo. ?Yeah. They were on the table by the door last I saw them.? Sammy told her, never taking his eyes from the t.v. Serena glanced at the table and saw them sitting there. She picked them up, said good-bye to her mom and ran out the door, jumping in the 1993 baby blue Neon. ******************** *DAIREN* I was glancing at Mary Grente?s charts when Nurse Jansen walked in. ?Hey Darien, I?m here.? She grinned. One of my few friends from school, Jessie Jansen had gone into medician like me and Andrew. Only Andrew was with pediatrics with Amy, one of Serena?s friends. I was in surgury and Jessie was one of the nurses with this section. ?Good. Dr. Rice said that he was calling for a meeting tomorrow afternoon at three and we were both to be there.? I told her as she nodded her head yes, her deep brown hair falling around her face. ?So, how?s Sere?? Jessie asked. Since they met about a year ago, they became good friends. ?Just fine. She?s coming here in about an hour. My stupid bike is in the shop and Andrew is borrowing my car this week.? I griped. Perfect timing. Andrew and Rita needed my car this week because both their cars were messing up and my bike?s brakes went out yesterday. So Serena, my beautiful Serena, is my personal driver this week. ?Oh, tell her I feel her pain, having to put up with you this entire week.? Jessie cracked, and I couldn?t help but laugh. But all joking was put aside when our ?boss? Dr. Rice came running into the room. Him and Mrs. Anderson were the main doctors here at Tokyo General. ?Chiba. Come down to room 283 in the ICU.? He said before he glance at Jessie. ?You too Jansen.? Then he was gone. We looked at each other a moment before following him down the hall. **************** We were soon stepping into the ICU unit. There were a couple of doctors and nurses already runnign about, trying to keep the person on the bed alive until they could figure out what was wrong. Nurse Vincent pulled me into the other room to help me get my scrubs on. ?What?s happened?? I asked curiously. ?17 year old female. Coming this way on the highway when another driver lost control of his car and smashed into her?s. His is nothing serious, a broken arm and concusion I think, but this girl is fighting for her life now. A lot of bleeding and a serious bump to the head. They don?t know if she?s going ot pull through, but it?s not looking good.? She finished and we walked back in there. She didn?t know who the girl was and wuoldn?t tell me more, but I would find out soon enough. I had already been in a few cases where they didn?t think the patient would survive, and when they said that, it usually was the truth. So I wasn?t looking too optomistic with this one. I walked next to Dr. Rice who was busy trying to place a tube down her throut to assist with her breathing, and got my first look at her face. The first thing that my eyes fell on what the girls golden locks of hair that were pulled up into two buns on each side of her head. Then I looked at her face. And finally I glanced up at Jessie, who?s face was full of shock and tears were in her eyes. I could barely see myself. I ran as fast as I could out of there. I barely heard Dr. Rice yelling at me, but I didn?t care. *ALEXIS* Darien sat outside of the ICU, is head in his hands. It had been almost two hours and still no word. Serena?s parents had been there for awhile, as well as the rest of the Scouts. No one was talking. [[Flashback]] ?Darien!? Darien looked up to see the Tsukino family runnig towards him. Mrs. Tsukino hugged Darien brefly before stepping back into her husbands arms. ?How is she?? Mr. Tsukino asked. A little before this, he probably would have killed the guy standing before him, but now he accepted his as part of his daughter?s life. And he could see tear stains down his face, and still some in his eyes. ?I?m......I?m not sure. I havent? heard anything since they brought her in here.? Darien admitted. They all sat down in silence. Soon all the other Scouts arrived after Amy called them. Mrs. Anderson had went tell her daughter right after it happened. Both Amy and Darien took off work early so they could stay up there and wait on Serena. Raye left the temple duties with Chad, and Mina and Lita cut their shopping spree short. [[END OF FLASHBACK]] Suddenly a nurse came walking in. They all reconized Jessie because they knew her through Serena. She walked over and gave Darien a small hug and turned to everyone else. ?Everyone?s surprised. No one would have thought in a million years that she would have made it, but she did.? Jessie grinned. Mr. and Mrs. Tsukino hugged each other close, Mrs. Tsukino crying with relief. The Scouts hugged one another and Darien grinned widely. ?When can we go and see her?? Raye asked. ?In a half an hour only family may. But no one else until tomorrow?s visiting hours.? Dr. Rice stepped in, glaring at Darien. He walked over to him, his face full of anger. ?Chiba, I don?t know what your still doing here, but your on suspention for two weeks for that litlte stunt in there. We needed you for back up. If you want to be a doctor, you have to stop being a sissy at every little drop of blood you see. I?ll see you in two weeks.? Dr. Rice left after giving a few words to Serena?s parents. It was all Darien could do to keep from punching the wall. Jessie took one look at Darien then left after Dr. Rice. ?What was he talking about?? Mr. Tsukino demanded. If it had something to do with his daughter, he wanted to know. ?I?m suppose to be back up in surgury, under Dr. Rice. I went into the ICU where Serena was, only I didn?t know who the patient was at the time, until I saw her face. I freaked and knew that I couldn?t stay in there looking at her like that. She was covered with blood and it honestly scared me.? Darien said quietly. ?I had already lost two of the three most importiant people in my life in a car wreck, I didn?t want to lose the third.? Darien commented. ?What do you mean??Sammy piped up before his mom could quiet him. ?My parents were killed in a car crash when I was 6. I somehow survived and had complete amnesia. After that I was pretty much alone, until Serena came along.? Darien confessed. Mrs. Tsukino walked over to the man whom her little girl loved to death, and she had already begun to love as a son. ?She?s going ot pull through, you?ll see.? She smiled reassuringly. ?Yeah. She?s stronger than any of us know.? Lita spoke up. Darien nodded his head. The next half and hour went by slow. The girls went home, but not before telling the Tsukino?s to say ?hi? to their best freind for them. Darien stayed there, just for the sake of it. Jessie walked in ever few minutes to tell them if anything had happened. When it was about time for Serena?s family to go in there, Jessie came running in there, smiling widly. ?Serena just woke up a little bit ago. She?s awake and doing fine and back to normal. Because the first thing that she said when she woke was......? Jessie started before Darien interupetted. ?I?m hungry.? He grinned and Jessie laughed. ?Exactly. You can come in a see her now if you want.? Jessie allowed Serena?s parents and brother to pass and walked them down to Serena?s room. Darien stood there, alone in the room. Jessie came walking back in there and placed her hand on his shoulder. ?Actually she said two things when she woke up. The first was ?I?m hungry? and the second was ?Where?s Darien??? Jessie told Darien, causing a small smile to appear on his lips. ********** *SERENA* I looked around the hospital room where I was laying. My head and my legs hurt, but that was about it. I could remember parts of it. They told me that the other guys breaks went out and he lost control of the car. He wasn?t hurt that bad, but he hit the driver?s side of my car, so I got the worst of it. I hear a noise and look up. Here comes my parents and little brother rushing into the room. ?Oh Serena honey! Were so glad that your okay!? Mom hugged me close, then stepped back for Dad. ?I?m so happy you pulled through pumpkin.? Dad told me. Sammy reluctantly hugged me too, but jerked away really quickly. I just smiled, same ol? Sammy. ?The girls, Amy, Raye, Mina and Lita all told us to tell you they said hi and would be back tomorrow before school to see you.? Mom told me. Her and Dad sat on the chair next to my bed and Sammy was standing on the other side. But there was something I wanted to know. ?Where?s Darien?? I asked. ?He?s still in the waiting room, or at least he was when we came in here.? Dad said. ?Good!? I thought. ?He?s still here! I can see him!?. ?Maybe, in a little bit, could I see him?? I asked tentivly. I was wondering how Dad was going to react. He just remained calm, and answered. ?Wish you could honey, but only family is allowed right now.? Dad told me. But I had to try. ?Please? You can tell the doctor that it?s alrgiht. After all, you are my parents and you should be able to say who my visitors are and who aren?t.? I cried out. I put on my best sad little helpless girl face on that gets my parents every time. ?Okay. I?ll go talk ot Dr. Rice and see what he says.? Dad walked out of the room, searching for my doctor. ?And if he won?t let Darien come in, we?ll just tell him that your his fiancee, since your basically married.? Mom joked, but my mouth dropped open. If only she knew how close she was. Since Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion were engaged, me and Darien were still technically engaged. Hehe. ?You?d do that Mama?? I asked and she nodded her head. ?I know how much you mean to each other. He?s been out there the entire time you were in surgury crying. No one could really notice, but I did.? Mom whispered quietly as Dad walked back in. ?He said it was alright. But only for a few minutes.? Dad leaned over to kiss my cheek, and Mom followed after him. We said our good-byes and they left. I waited for a couple minutes when I heard my door open again. There was my love standing in the doorway. ******************************* *DARIEN* I saw my angel laying in that bed, helpless and so sick looking. I rushed over to her and gathered her up in my arms. ?Hey love.? Serena whispered in my ear, giggling. I didn?t say nothing, I couldn?t. I came too close to losing her again. ?Oh baby, I was so scared. Are you alright?? I managed to asked her. She pulled away from me and our eyes met. I could spend all day starring into her blue eyes and never get tired. Our faced got closer till our lips met each others. We kissed for a minute. ?Muffin, I?m okay. I?ll be okay. My head hurts and little and my legs are sore. But other than that, I?m fine.? She told me, but that didn?t help. Just the thought of losing her scared me to no end. She was my only reason for living. ?Serena, I was on back-up for your surgury, but the moment I walked in and saw your face, I knew I couldn?t stay. It scared me so much at the sight of you. I have already lost two people in a car wreck. I didnt? want to lose my only reason for living in another one.? I told her, and somehow I was calm. But Serena, the gentle angel and goddess that she was, started crying. ?Oh Darien, I love you so much and I would never leave you. And don?t ever say that I?m your only reason for living. You have so much life in you, you just don?t know it.? Serena whispered. ?No I don?t. I honestly don?t know how I made it through all those years before I met you. Please don?t leave me. I know I made some mistakes in the past, but I swear to love you till the end of time.? I swore to her and I pulled her close once more. *SERENA* I listened silently to Darien pour his heart out to me. Me, his only reason for living? I couldn?t mean that much to him, could I? Yes I could. Because that?s how much he means to me. ?Don?t worry, I?d never leave you. I love too much and want to spend the rest of my life with you.? I assured him as he held me tighter. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held on to him. By now, I could feel the affects of the medician they gave me starting to work. I was getting very sleepy. ?Darien, I?m getting really sleepy because of all those stupid pills they gave me. Would you stay here until I fall alseep?? I almost begged him, but knew I didn?t even have to ask. I felt safer with him there and wanted him to stay with me. ?Of course. I love you.? He whispered in my ear before I layed back down. ?I love you too.? I answered back before I drifted off into slumber. *ALEXIS* Darien stayed beside Serena for a few more minutes after she fell asleep. Then he gently and lovingly kissed her forhead before leaving her room. As he walked out he almost ran right into Dr. Rice. ?Chiba, I have something to talk about wiht you about your little stunt. Nurse Jensen, along with that girls parents, told me who she is to you and I apologize for jumpign down on you like that. I understand how it is, but that was still no reason for you to go and running off like that. I?m letting you off easy this time Chiba, but don?t let it happen again.? Rice said hautly. ?So I?m not on leave anymore?? Dairen asked hopefully. ?No, your not.? Was all he said before walkign into Serena?s room. -4 months later- ?Darien, where are you taking me?? Serena cried. Her eyes were blind-folder and Darien was chuckling from the drivers seat. Her parents knew what was up, but Serena doesn?t even have a clue. Four months after that terrible accident and 1 month after Serena?s 18th birthday, Serena and Darien were out on a date together. ?You?ll see.? Soon Darien pulled Serena out of the car, but kept the blind fold on, and lead her someplace. They soon stopped in front of a huge waterfall by the ocean. The sky was clear and the stars shown brightly while the moon lite the night sky. ?Open your eyes now.? Darien told Serena as she jerked off the blind-fold. She first looked around at her suroundings and they turned back to Darien. She didn?t find him standing in front of her like she thought he would. Instead she found him on one knee. ?Serena Usagi Tsukino. My love of two life times. The one person I want to be with more than anything that the whole world. Would you do me the greatest honar in agreeing to be my wife?? Serena just stood there, her mouth hanging open. Darien was holding a beautiful diamond ring in the palm of his hand. Serena dropped to her knees in front of her love, and placed her hands over her mouth as she started to cry. ?Yes! Yes!? She said between tears. ?Of course I?ll marry you! Oh, I love you so much!? She flung her arm his neck and held him close. Darien responded by holding her as close to him as he possibly could. Eventually when they broke apart, he slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her hand. ?I?ll be your forever my love.? Darien whispered quietly. ?You better.? She giggled, ?I love you Muffin.? ?I love you too Meatball Head.? And those were the last words spoken between the two before their lips met in a passionate kiss, and didn?t part for a long time. ***There it is!!!!!!!! I?m *finally* finished!!!!!! Yahoo!!!!!!!!!
