Chapter 5:
Next Morning - At Lita's
The sun's rays filtered through the curtains of the room. Ami was the first one to wake up. She sat up and looked at her watch, it read 8:55. She then began thinking about how the past two nights had taken their toll on all of them. First with Serena being attacked, then her heart-wrentching story of the events that transpired. Everyone was tired and upset with these people from the dark moon. First they go after a small child, and now after Serena:
their princess. Everyone had had enough.
Ami then scanned the room. Lita, Mina, and Mirchiru were still asleep on the floor. She then looked to where Rei and Haruka were, and smiled. Although both Rei and Haruka hardly ever
admit it, they care for Serena very much. She remembered the day when Serena had told them that Darien broke up with her. It took a lot of convincing on Serena's part to get them to promise not to beat him up.
'They're so protective of her,' she thought. 'Rei is like an overprotective sister and Ruka is like an overprotective brother. No wonder the two of them insisted on sleeping next to Serena.'
Ami crawled over to where the three of them were supposed to be.
Ami: "Oh Kamisama (oh my god) !!!"
She exclaimed so loudly that everyone got up immediately.
Mina: "What's going on?!"
Ami, not being able to speak at the moment, looked at Rei, then at Haruka. She then looked down to where Serena should be.
Haruka: "Shimatta!!"
Lita: "Nani ( what) ?!"
Rei: "Serena's gone! That's what!"
Mirchiru: "How can this be possible?"
Haruka: "Where is she? Where can she be? Where is she?"
Mina: "Alright, everyone just calm down. Before we jump to conclusions, how do we know that she's not in the bathroom or something."
Before anyone could answer, Lita ran to the bathroom and came back with a grim look on her face,
"She's not there!"
Mina: "Alright, um, Ami, you use your computer to see if you can track her down. Rei and Mirchiru, get to the temple and do a fire reading. Lita and Ruka, check the apartment to see if maybe she left a note or something."
Ami: "What about you?"
Mina: "I'm going to call the guys."
Rei and Mirchiru, who were almost out the door, stopped abruptly and said, "No!!" simulataniously.
Rei: "We can't let Darien find out. You saw how he was last night. He's already so freaked out. We can't tell him yet."
Ami: "She's right. We don't know what he'll do."
Mina: "Fine, I'll tell them the situation, and tell them not to say a word of it to Darien." They all nodded, and went to do their prescribed tasks.
Meanwhile . . .
Darien woke up to the sun's rays shining on his face. He wasn't going to get up, but was startled to hear some voices. Then the events of last night flashed through his mind. He realized that
Michael and Jason must've stayed the night. His thoughts then drifted back to last night.
'So, what happens now? What if it didn't work?' he thought. 'It had to!'
He had the nightmares as usual, and woke up, as usual, in a cold sweat. But this time, he was too tired to stay awake, so he went back to sleep, and didn't wake up until just now. Usually, after the dream, he wouldn't bother sleeping agian, for he feared that he would have to relive that same dream that plagued his nights. The fact that he went back to sleep and didn't have the dream again, made him feel a little uneasy.
'I went back to sleep, but I didn't have the dream again. What does this mean?!'
His thoughts were interupted by the ringing of the phone and Michael's voice . . .
Michael: "Hello, Chiba residence."
Darien couldn't help but smile. Michael was always so formal, even back in the Silver Mill- .
Michael: "WHAT!!!!!!!"
'That can't be good . . . . . Serena!' Darien jumped out of bed and ran out the door, only to be greeted by Jason, who began holding him back.
Darien: "Let go of me, Jay!! What's going on?! Is it Rini?! Serena?! Talk to me! Let go Jay!!!"
