Part 20

Serena cried out in pain as she was thrown to the hard concrete ground, moaning slightly as she sat up. She brushed off the dust from her white tang top, and stared down at her dirty levi cut offs. Sighing.

"Serena.....You have to learn how to fall or you could really injure yourself." Wufei frowned slightly, walking up to her and stood infront of her, offering her his hand.

She nodded, clasping his hand and he pulled her to her feet. Then her expression became a startled one as she looked up at him. "You called me by my name.....And not woman." Serena arched an eyebrow, mystified.

Wufei raised his eyebrows, startled also. "I guess I did." He smiled faintly.

"Was that a smile Wu-Man?" Serena teased, giggling.

"A hem." Wufei muttered, realizing he was still holding Serena's hand, and quickly released it, turning away, forcing a neutral look on his face.

Serena on the other hand had a tint of pink on her cheeks, flushing with embarrassment from the brief physically contact.

"Maybe we should practice your falling skills a bit more." Wufei said a moment later. "You wouldn't want to break anything would you?"

Serena shook her head. "No I wouldn't. Alright. Let's get to it then." She agreed, getting into a fighting stance.

Duo crept as quietly as possible into the nearest Oz base nearby. The hanger only had one guard, which was good. Slowly, he crept up to the building, not noticing the figure following him.

When he was at the entrance, he walked up to the soldier and knocked him out. He watched as the man let out a small cry and fell onto his stomach. Smirking. "Piece of cake." He said to himself, pulling the unconscious guy into the building and locking him in a closet.

"That was easy." He grinned and headed for the main hanger, only to find that every single mobile suit was gone. "Damn it!" He frowned, his eyes gazing over the empty room.

"It seems that there are not mobile suits here." Said a female voice.

Duo turned, surprised. "Haruka? What are you doing here?"

Sailor Uranus stepped forward, smiling. "Serena sent me to see that nothing happens to you."

Duo chuckled lightly, his lips curving into a grin. "Well I guess I have a bodyguard huh." He joked.

Haruka laughed. "For now. The Princess would have a fit if anything happened to you."

"Yeah. I know. Thanks Haruka." Duo nodded, approaching her, arms folded.

"We'd better get back. Since we couldn't find anything. Besides, you need to finish training her and your one of her protectors." The woman pointed out.

"Yeah. I guess hand to hand combat will have to do. And Wufei is going to go insane if he has to explain everything about how to pilot a mobile suit anyway." The braided pilot agreed, a look of amusement on his face.

They then left the base, hurrying back to where the Moon Princess and the Chinese pilot awaited them.

Treize watched as the inner senshi scouted the Dark Castle. Queen Baryl's Castle. It was taking a great amount of his energy to keep them invisible.

"I'm glad you sent Haruka to check on Serena." Neptune smiled at him.

"Yeah. I am too. I still worry that Darien will try to kidnap her again." Treize replied, concern in his voice.

"Indeed. But a least she is being trained." Pluto added, smiling a bit.

Treize nodded in response.

Serena sat on her knees, gasping from the intense training she just went through. At least now she knew how to fall and land on her feet if she were to be thrown by her opponent.

"Very good Serena." Wufei complemented, taking out his Katana's. "Now you have to learn to use a weapon other than your scepter and tiara. Since Darien knows how to fight with a sword, you should too. It will serve you well."

"Use a sword!" Serena exclaimed, standing up, a mixture of shock and uneasiness in her voice.

Wufei nodded and tossed her a blade.

Serena managed to catch it without cutting herself.

"You must learn defense first. Then I will teach you some offenses." He explained, holding up his sword.

Serena took a deep breath and nodded, holding her sword to the side.

"Ready?" Wufei asked, getting into a fighting stance, pointing his blade at her.

"Yes." She answered, holding up her sword, and got into a defensive stance.

Wufei smirked slightly, and charged at her a moment later, slashing at her in every direction. Serena struggled to dodge and block his attacks, but that was the first lesson. To defend herself in a sword battle.

They continued to use the swords for another hour, until Serena mastered the defensive skills. By then, she couldn't be touched with a blade, and she only received a few cuts on her arms and legs.

"I'm impressed." Wufei grinned, gasping a bit from the dual, holding his sword to the side. "I can't touch you with my sword, you can block it and dodge it easily."

"Told you I.....was.....a fast learner." She said in between breaths, smiling, holding her sword up, gasping heavily.

"That you are." Wufei nodded, putting his Katana into it's cover. "Let's take a break, then I'll teach you some offenses."

"Alright." Serena agreed, sitting down, still trying to catch her breath, placing the Katana beside her.

They rested for a few minutes, then began their sword play once again. This time Serena had to try and touch Wufei with the blade, and penetrate his defenses, which was not easy at first, but within an hour, she managed to cut him on his arms and legs, and knock the sword out of his hand.

"Impressive." He smiled, covering his cheek where she had cut him earlier.

"Thanks." She grinned, picking up his Katana, and held both of them out to him. "Sorry about the Wufei, I'll heel it and it will be as if it was never there."

Wufei nodded, and approached her until he stood infront of her, taking both of his Katana's back. "I have nothing further to teach you, you have learned everything you need to defend yourself."

"Really?" Serena stared up at him, beaming, her eyes twinkling.

"Yes." Wufei answered, smiling at her expression.

"Wufei.....Thank you." She said softly, her smile deepening.

"Your welcome Princess." He smiled.

She was about to say something else, when suddenly she fell forward, clutching her head, crying out in pain.

"Serena!" Wufei cried, catching her before she hit the ground, and fell to his knees also, cradling her in his arms.

"The Sun Staff.....Must go to the Moon.....Mother." Serena whispered, her closed eyes flickering, then opened a moment later.

"Are you alright Serena?" Wufei asked, staring down at her, his eyes full of concern.

"Duo....." She whispered, wrapping her arms around Wufei's neck and pulled him towards her until their lips met.

Wufei was shocked at first, but couldn't bring himself to pull away, and kissed her back, closing his eyes.
