     Darien was stunned by Serena's question. He didn't know what exactly
had brought this up, but could understand her anxiety. It was obviously
tearing her up inside to even consider that what she was feeling was just
a carry-over from a past life. He took a breath, knowing he had to be
careful how he answered her.
     Serena looked at him, her fears and youthful self-doubts returning
full force. In her dream, he had acted increasingly like Endymion, and
addressed her as Serenity. Maybe it really was too much to hope for.
Maybe Darien really was only interested in Serenity. But if Serenity was
to resume her love with her prince, then what would happen to Serena?
Tears were welling up inside her again. He extended a hand to offer
comfort, but she pulled away.
     He looked at her, speaking slowly. "I have fallen in love twice.
Both times with the same girl, an incredibly beautiful young meatball-
headed blond named Serena Tsukino." He saw a faint smile flicker across
her face, and could sense a glimmer of happiness through their link.
"Both times when I fell in love with you, I had no idea who this princess
was, and the second time, no idea she had even existed. I didn't fall in
love with you because we were lovers in a past life."
     "But how can you be sure?" she asked. "You had that dream of the
princess."
     "Once I realized how I felt about you, my feelings for the princess
in my dream changed. My subconscious kept substituting you for her," he
told her. "Didn't you have a crush on me as Tuxedo Kamen?"
     "Yes," she admitted.
     "And what happened after you discovered our feelings for each
other?"
     "That crush kind of faded away," she said.
     "That's how I know," he told her. "When we dream together, we think
of each other as Serena and Darien, not Serenity and Endymion. Maybe
their love in the past helped set the stage, but it was the two of us,
here in the present, that made it happen. If you overlook Sailor Moon and
Tuxedo Kamen, you and I are basically ordinary people. We're not royalty.
Endymion loved his princess. I love my meatball head."
     Serena smiled and moved closer to him, softly kissing his cheek.
"And I love you, Muffin," she said.
     "Let's move back up into the shade of the trees, before we burn in
this sun, and then we can eat," he suggested.
     Her eyes lit up at the mention of food. They quickly gathered up
their discarded clothes, then moved the blanket and picnic basket back
into the trees.
     "So, what were those dreams of the princess and the prince about?"
she asked as she munched on a piece of chicken.
     "Well, in my case, the princess was telling me I had to find the
ginzuishou," he answered. "That was a clue to direct me in our quest so
we could defeat Queen Beryl. Later, I think the joint dream was trying
tell of our past lives as Serenity and Endymion."
     "But why?" she interrupted. "What difference would it make?"
     "I wondered that myself, but I came to the conclusion that Serenity
and Endymion each had knowledge that we would need in fighting Beryl.
Serenity knew how to use the ginzuishou, while you Serena, didn't.
Serenity's memories also helped you understand just what was at stake if
Beryl should win."
     "And Endymion?"
     "Endymion was trained all his life in the mold of the warrior-
prince, including the use of his special powers. He knew tricks that I as
Tuxedo Kamen would never have thought of. If I hadn't gained Endymion's
memories, I'm certain I couldn't have shielded myself from Beryl's
brainwashing."
     "But Queen Serenity thought she was sending us to peaceful lives in
the future," Serena said.
     "To peaceful *new* lives," Darien pointed out. "Serenity and
Endymion would be completely out of place in our time, just as you and I
could never fit into the society of the Moon Kingdom."
     She sat silently for a moment, eating another piece of chicken. She
could feel his love through their link, not certain how she could ever
have doubted him. Sometimes it was just so difficult to know. Being
Sailor Moon put pressure on her to grow up faster, and she usually felt
more confident and assured when she was with Darien, but was still just a
teenager, and determined to hang on to as much of a normal life as she
could.
     "Darien, why did you fall in love with me?" she asked.
     He paused for a moment. "I'm not sure I'm aware yet of all the
reasons, myself. But I guess the heart of it is that you have a joy for
life that as an orphan I never knew. I grew up learning to close myself
off so as not to get hurt again, but you always seem to be reaching out
to others. That day when I realized how I felt about you, you looked like
you really needed someone like that yourself. Maybe I felt a bit at fault
for having teased you before. But before I knew it, you'd gotten through
all my self-imposed barriers. In many ways, I've learned how to live
again because of you. And in learning that, I know that you are simply
the most important person who is, or ever could be, in my life."
     She blushed softly, having seldom had the chance to hear him open up
that way. "And I thought you had hated me."
     "Hate would be too strong a word," he told her. "But certainly I
didn't think I liked you all that much. Yet, a part of me enjoyed having
you around, because you did bring something that I was missing. The
second time around, I seemed to pick up on that much faster. Maybe
because you were showing more of that side of yourself." He looked at
her, seeing a soft, tender smile playing across her face. "Your turn. Why
did you fall in love with me?"
     She looked at him, struggling to form the words. "I guess..., Well,
I mean... I'm not sure if I can put it into words," she said quietly,
embarrassed by her lack of articulation. She poured her feelings through
the link, hoping he would understand. "You seemed to be able to look
right into me. And my clumsiness seemed to go away for a while. But
mostly, when we were together, I found all those strong emotions I had
always had around you were still there, but they weren't the anger and
annoyance I thought they were. Before I knew it, suddenly I found I
couldn't stand the thought of not having you around."
     He spared her the need to put her feelings any further into words by
kissing her lips. Their hearts had already decided that they loved each
other deeply and passionately, and that was really all that mattered.
- - - - - - - - - -
     After they had finished eating, the two cuddled together on the
blanket, communicating only with soft kisses, gentle touches, and loving
glances, while wordless expressions of pure love were shared through
their link. The sounds of nature continued to accompany the song in their
hearts as the peaceful afternoon stretched on. For the two lovers, the
rest of the world seemed to have faded away.
     Finally, Serena began to stir. "Let's take another swim," she
suggested.
     "Alright," Darien agreed.
     Hand in hand, they started walking down the beach. Looking at each
other and grinning, they began running, giggling and yelling like
children as they raced into the water and began splashing each other. She
threw herself at him bodily, sending them both under. Gasping and
laughing when they came back up, they kissed passionately. As soon as
they separated, she started to swim further out.
     "Be careful," he called, swimming after her.
     He soon overtook her.
     "Wow! We must have swam farther than I thought," she said.
     "What do you mean?" he asked, having a feeling he knew what it was.
     "Look," she said, pointing back to shore.
     He saw they were a good distance out, at least a hundred meters. A
glance at a point of land to the side confirmed his fear that they were
still moving away from shore.
     "We're caught in some sort of tidal current," he told her.
     "On 'Baywatch', the lifeguards say to swim parallel to the shore,"
she said. "Because the current's too strong to swim straight in."
     "Yes. We'll aim for that point of land over there. Once we're out of
the current, we should be able to head back to shore."
     They swam at a steady pace, keeping even with each other, and moving
at a slight diagonal. Soon, they noticed they were beginning to move back
in toward shore.
     "I think we're clear of it," she said, noticing the change.
     "Right. Let's see if we can head in," he agreed.
     They soon moved in far enough where they could both touch bottom.
Moving in until the water was simply splashing around their feet, they
stopped to kiss, excited and relieved at their safe return to shore, and
happy to be together. After a moment, they began walking back down the
shore. Reaching their blanket, they toweled themselves off and lay down.
     Serena's hand slid up along his thigh, and caressed his rapidly
hardening manhood. As Darien groaned with arousal and pleasure, she
kissed his nipple, then sucked it.
     "Why, you minx," he gasped.
     Rolling over on top of her, he brought his hands to her sides and
tickled her. As she quivered helplessly underneath him, he pressed his
mouth to hers, driving his tongue deep into her. Her arms embraced him
passionately, while he simply held her. Passion and longing were building
in both of them to overwhelming proportions. Darien slid down and kissed
her nipples repeatedly.
     "Oh, please! Oh, yes!" she cried.
     Moving back up, he kissed the base of her neck, and brought his lips
back to hers. As their tongues danced together, she spread her legs open,
wrapping them over his own. The tip of his penis touched her soft, wet
nether lips, drawing a soft moan of pleasure from both of them. He looked
into her eyes, seeing an intense love and desire that was fast
overwhelming his self-control. In his eyes she saw the same fire and
longing. Groaning with the effort, he rolled off of her, grabbing
frantically for his pants and removing another condom.
     "Oh, Darien! Please!" she gasped.
     Having now taken the precaution that she deserved, he moved back
over her and kissed her deeply. As soon as his hard, erect member
returned to her soft folds, gently spreading them open, she thrust up
with her hips. At the same moment, he drove himself forward, their
combined motions burying his manhood deep inside her warm, loving
embrace. As one, they cried out in raw ecstasy.
     He immediately pressed his lips to hers again. The feel of her body
against his own, of his throbbing member deep inside her womanhood, and
the beautiful warmth of their love filling them both left him without a
care in the world as he had become one with this young woman he loved so
much.
     She clung tightly to the man she loved as their bodies moved with a
strong, slow, wonderfully sensual pace. As his manhood filled her up and
rubbed against her sensitive jewel, and the golden glow spread through
both of them, she found herself in a state of purest bliss.
     He gasped her name softly, pouring into it every bit of emotion he
felt for her. Their bodies moved together, sending waves of exquisite
pleasure sweeping through him. Holding her in his strong embrace, he
kissed her face and lips repeatedly.
     Serena cried out as a strong thrust pushed his throbbing member
deeper into her. Already her senses were on fire. His manhood was filling
her up, shifting up and down as their conjoined bodies moved together,
and stroking her hard jewel with each motion. As his lips came down over
her mouth, she reached up with her tongue to caress his own. Her hands
swept across his strong back, feeling the flexing muscles.
     Their pace was increasing as she felt herself swept away on an
irresistible tide of sexual pleasure. Again and again they thrust
together, their bodies shifting position each time so that his member
stroked her jewel a little differently. Their next motion sent her over
the edge, as her body seized up in the force of orgasm and she gasped his
name in ecstasy.
     Darien fought to hold himself back, not at all certain his body
would obey. After what seemed like an eternity, her orgasm finally passed
and her muscles relaxed. Taking a slow breath, he held still while she
gasped beneath him. Very softly, he kissed her cheek.
     After a moment, he resumed his motions within her, using a long,
very slow stroke. She groaned softly with delight as her body began to
respond. Their intimacy further opened their link. The glow within grew
brighter and warmer, and each could feel the full intensity of the love
and pleasure in the other.
     For Serena, the slow pace was driving her crazy as longing swelled
within her. Her gasps and cries became more pleading as she hungered for
magnificent release. Their lips met, and she slid a hand up onto his
head, running her fingers through his soft, dark hair. Sensing his own
longing increasing, she rolled upward through her hips as he moved
forward for the next stroke. As he groaned, she could see the fire in his
eyes and could feel his passion growing within him.
     Her need was pouring into him, driving him on. As his own passion
grew in response, he felt his restraint slipping away. Their pace was
growing faster as he pushed himself forward again and again, her body
meeting him precisely on each thrust. He gasped her name as he felt
himself losing control, soaring rapidly toward the edge.
     It was just what she needed as she clung to him tightly, matching
him stroke for stroke. With each motion she felt herself being swept to a
new climax.
     "Oh, Darien!" she gasped.
     "Serena," he cried.
     As one, their bodies were consumed by the overwhelming power of
climax. They both cried out wordlessly, their muscles locked up in the
final act of passion, before they at last fell limp, the flame of passion
dying down, leaving behind the pure, bright light of love.
     Slipping himself out of her, he rolled off to the side and discarded
his condom. Beautifully spent from their exertions, he curled up next to
her. With the song of love playing in their hearts, they both fell
asleep.

     Later that evening, Molly walked along the street, not far from her
home. Passing a small restaurant, she caught sight of a girl with long
blond hair through the window, sitting with a guy. She quickly recognized
the guy as Darien Chiba, but did a double-take over the girl, stunned to
realize that it was Serena. With her hair down, Molly almost hadn't
recognized her. Serena and Darien seemed to be thoroughly enjoying each
other's company.
     Molly walked on to avoid drawing attention, although it was clear to
her Serena and Darien weren't noticing anything but each other. She was
happy for Serena, and found herself not overly surprised to find her with
Darien. Molly had long had a feeling about those two. As she reflected on
it though, she had a strange sense of deja vu. It was almost as if she
had already known about them, and had even talked about it with Serena.
She continued on her way home, trying to figure it out.
- - - - - - - - - -
     Sunday was proving as beautiful as the day before. Serena and Darien
were getting a late start, having made love before falling asleep that
night, and again after breakfast in the morning. Both had been long and
exquisitely slow, before culminating in a thunderous climax which left
them clinging to each other in satisfied exhaustion.
     They stood on the observation deck of the Tokyo Tower, looking out
across the city. Her youthful exuberance was warming his heart, as he
drank in more of her infectious joy for life. She was staying close to
him. Even when she bounded ahead in excitement, she would quickly turn
back to see him following, and as they stood together, her eyes
frequently sought his. Much of the time, they held hands in an easy,
gentle manner, neither of them quite sure whose fingers were whose.
     "It's so beautiful," she sighed, looking across the city as the sun
streamed over it from a cloudless sky.
     "Everything in life is beautiful when I'm with you," he said softly.
     "Oh, you're so sweet," she said, looking into his eyes once again.
"I love you so much."
     "I think I'm beginning to realize that," he replied, a grin forming
on his lips. "But I'm not sure. I am the one with memory loss, you know."
     "Oh, you!" she declared, slapping his arm in mock anger. She wanted
to hold him tightly and kiss him, but the other people on the deck
compelled restraint.
     Once back on the ground and part of the throng enjoying a beautiful
weekend in Tokyo, they kissed, long and passionately.
     They made their way slowly around the city, stopping to admire the
river with the sun glistening off it. As the morning settled into
afternoon, he steered her toward a new restaurant he had heard about from
friends at the university. They both agreed its positive reputation was
well deserved.
     Throughout the day, Darien found himself again enjoying seeing the
city through her eyes. What he often saw as a large, teeming city with
too many people, too much traffic, too much noise, and occasionally, too
much pollution, became a place of wonder and excitement and life when
seen through Serena's eyes. Holding her hand, he gently nudged that
sentiment through their link, seeing her turn to look at him with a warm,
loving smile.
     Serena was happy to be anywhere with Darien. Knowing that he liked
the excitement and wonder she had for life, she wanted to share that with
him whenever possible. At the same time, she still regularly looked for
signs of approval, needing to know that he was enjoying himself. His
maturity was rubbing off on her just a little, and she happily found,
without her school uniform to give her away, that people saw her with
Darien and assumed she was about his age. Feeling his own love through
the link, she held his hand with joy running through her.
     With the afternoon beginning to fade, they came to the park where he
had twice discovered his feelings for her, taking a seat in front of the
fountain.
     "No monster this time," he said softly, looking around.
     "No. Just a guy named Darien, and the girl who is madly in love with
him."
     "That's just what a place like this is made for," he said.
     "Yes. This is our *true* special place," she agreed.
     Simply nodding, he leaned over and kissed her. "I don't think today
could possibly have been any better, my sweet," he whispered.
     "Well, it's not over yet," she reminded him, a wicked grin on her
face.
     "Careful with that, you little minx," he cautioned. "We *are* still
in public."
     "Then I think we need to do something about that."
     "I'll consider it," he said, leaning back and trying to look
disinterested.
     She jumped to her feet and pulled hard on his arm, nearly yanking
him off the bench.
     "OK! I've considered," he said, stumbling after her.
- - - - - - - - - -
     That same afternoon, the other girls were at the Hickawa temple.
Lita went looking for Rei, who had drifted off on her own, finding her in
her room, softly sobbing on her bed. It was very rare to see this from
Rei, but Lita knew the signs of a broken heart far better than the
others. Just as her best friend, Ken, had comforted Lita after she had
been dumped, Lita recognized that Rei needed someone to talk to.
     "Rei?" she called softly, slipping into the room. "You OK?"
     Rei sat up with a start. "Yeah. Sure. I'm fine," she insisted.
     "It's Darien, isn't it? You're not really over him yet, are you?"
     "What makes you think that?" Rei asked. "Of course I am."
     "Come on, Rei," Lita said, sitting down beside her. "I've been
there, remember? I know it's tough to get over someone special, and
Darien's a much nicer guy than Freddie was."
     Mina and Ami joined them.
     "Oh, great," Rei sighed. "Now everyone knows."
     "We're your friends. We're here for you," Mina said.
     "I just feel awful," Rei admitted, wiping her eyes. "Darien's
everything I ever hoped for in a guy. And yet, I can see how happy he and
Serena are. I hate myself for feeling so jealous."
     "You're only human, Rei," Ami reminded her.
     "And you were the one who taught Serena those mental exercises so
she could free Darien," Lita added. "Sounds like the actions of a true
friend to me."
     Rei simply nodded.
     "Besides, it's not like they've gone all they way yet," Mina said,
trying to be comforting.
     While Lita was glaring at Mina, they all noticed Rei's conspicuous
silence.
     "Rei? You're not thinking they have, are you?" Mina asked.
     Rei's eyes fell to the floor. "You can't tell anyone, but I know
they have."
     "How do you know?" ask Ami, blushing.
     "I saw them together," Rei answered, clearly embarrassed.
     "How?" Lita asked.
     "I, uhm, Well, I used, ahm, the sacred fire," she said softly.
     The other girls looked stunned.
     "When?" Mina asked. "We've all been here since Friday night. You
haven't used the fire during that time."
     "It was several months ago," Rei said. "Before we learned he was
Tuxedo Kamen."
     "Before?!" Lita asked. "But they hated each other then."
     Rei nodded. "That weekend before we learned who he was, and that
Serena was the princess, I was walking past his apartment when I saw
Darien on his balcony with another girl."
     "Serena?" Mina asked.
     "I couldn't tell then. Her hair was down," Rei said. "And they were
kissing passionately. Very passionately. I was burning up with jealousy
as I walked home."
     "What did you do?" Ami asked quietly.
     "I came home, determined to find out who she was," Rei explained.
"Later that night, I used the sacred fire, which showed me the two of
them asleep in his bed. That was when I realized it was Serena."
     "But I saw them after that," Lita said. "They were sniping at each
other just as usual."
     "Probably an act," Mina said. "Afterall, Serena is underage."
     "Does Serena know that you know?" Lita asked.
     "Yes. When we started talking about using her link to Darien to find
and rescue him, I felt I had to tell her," Rei said, deciding to gloss
over the story slightly.
     "But you didn't tell her you weren't over him," Mina said.
     "No. It wouldn't have served any purpose," Rei said. "It would have
just made things harder on her."
     "But are you going to be alright?" Lita asked Rei. "You're our
friend. And we're a team."
     "I'll be OK," Rei said with a sigh. "It just may take a while."
- - - - - - - - - -
     Darien and Serena entered the elevator in his building. After the
door had closed, she pressed herself tightly against him, while he leaned
down to kiss her hungrily. His hands swept over her exquisite curves. It
took every once of self-control he could manage not to start peeling away
the pieces of fabric covering her body. The moans as their tongues danced
together were filling them both with an uncontrollable desire. His
hardness was already bulging uncomfortably within the confinement of his
pants, while she felt so hot and wet she was sure her panties were
already completely soaked.
     The elevator came to a stop and they hastily pulled apart just as
the door opened. The hall was empty as they hurried for his door. His
trembling hand fumbled with the lock, but he finally got the key to go
in, opening the door. Inside, he pushed the door closed and locked it,
turning back just as she threw herself into his arms. As he held her body
tightly against his own, she wrapped her arms around his neck and her
legs around his thighs, while pressing her lips to his own.
     As soon as he put her down, and they kicked off their shoes, he
raced to the windows and hurriedly closed the blinds. Taking her in his
arms again, he pulled up her shirt and tossed it away. His lips pressed
into the side of her neck while his hands unfastened her bra. He moved
down and took her now exposed nipple in his mouth while bringing his
hands down to her shorts and peeling them off. Once she had stepped out
of her shorts, he pulled down her panties, then kissed her thighs. He
pressed his lips to her center, sliding his tongue over her soft, wet
folds, and bringing a groan of pleasure from her. The scent of her
arousal and the taste of her honey on his tongue were making his own
longing still more intense.
     He pulled away, reaching up to kiss her abdomen. Serena grasped the
back of his shirt and started pulling it up, quickly having it off him.
Darien stood back up. Seeing the bulge in his pants, she hurriedly
unfastened his belt and slid his pants down. As soon as they were off,
she pulled down his underpants. Turning her attention to his hard, erect
manhood, she kissed his tip lovingly, then licked the full length of his
shaft. He groaned as she kissed and licked his sac, then took his member
deep in her mouth. She licked and sucked him greedily while he gasped and
his body shook with delight. The throbbing sensation of his penis, and
the taste of his fluid on her tongue made her only want more. His motions
were growing stronger. While sucking hard, she brought one hand up to
gently fondle his sac in her fingers. Almost immediately his body
stiffened and he groaned sharply as he poured himself out into her mouth.
Hungry for him, Serena sucked down every last bit, then carefully licked
him clean.
     As he looked down at her, breathing heavily, she could see an
intense fire blazing in his eyes. Finally able to move again, he pulled
her to her feet, took her in a nearly crushing embrace, and kissed her
long and hard. As the kiss went on, she felt herself completely melting
in his arms.
     Taking a breath, he looked into the eyes of this beautiful little
minx he loved so much, while unfastening her hair. With his desire
demanding he satisfy himself in her body, he picked her up in his arms
and carried her into the bedroom. Setting her down, he pulled back the
covers, then lay her on the bed. After pulling off his socks, he fell on
top of her, pressing his lips to hers and driving his tongue into her.
     Serena clung to him, wanting him desperately, needing him to make
love to her.
     Darien left her mouth, moving down her body. Kissing her neck, he
felt her gasp and tremble as he let his tongue caress her flesh. He moved
to her gorgeous breasts, pressing his lips to first one nipple and then
the other.
     She felt overwhelming pleasure tearing through her as he simply
devoured her breasts, the sensations driving her crazy. Her moans were
growing louder and faster, when she suddenly felt the sharp pressure of
his teeth on one nipple and his fingers tightly pinching the other. She
let out a near scream of delight.
     Showering her abdomen with soft kisses and strokes of his tongue, he
made his way still lower across her body. Her hands pressed into his
head, urging him lower. He paused to nuzzle the soft blond curls covering
her mound, and to savor her sweet, enticing aroma. Finally, he spread her
legs apart and, feeling her body tense with anticipation, moved past her
opening to kiss her thighs.
     "Darien!" she gasped, pleading for release.
     He slid up between her legs and softly ran his tongue over her
dripping wet folds, eagerly lapping up her honey as it flowed out of her.
     "Oh, yes! Yes! More, please!" she cried.
     Continuing simply to lick her, he felt her hips bouncing around him
as she sought to bring him deeper into her. He placed his arms over her
thighs to hold her still, then gently rubbed his tongue along her
opening. As she begged and pleaded for more, he traced her opening once
again, then slipped his tongue into her.
     She couldn't think straight as she sighed her relief that at last he
was slipping his beautiful, maddening, wonderful, merciless tongue inside
her. Just then, her every nerve was set on fire as he dragged his tongue
hard across her incredibly aroused and painfully sensitive jewel. Her
body shook hard as she cried out in pure ecstasy. He touched her there
once more, setting off another massive tremor before probing deeper
inside her womanhood. Suddenly, she was aware of him pressing his lips
tight around her opening and sucking hard, drawing still more of her
honey into his mouth.
     She tasted so incredibly good to him that he never wanted to stop.
He swept his tongue as deep inside her as he could, hungrily sweeping
more of her fluid into him. She gasped and shook as he stroked the sides
of her vagina. Finally, he returned his attention to her hard jewel,
stroking it with his tongue and sucking hard. A tremendous spasm tore
through her and she cried out his name again and again as she plunged
over the edge. The orgasm poured her honey down into his mouth, her
muscles pulsing over and over until it finally faded. As she gasped for
breath, he paused for a breath himself, then carefully cleaned her with
his tongue.
     Darien softly pressed his lips to her thighs before moving up over
her. He stopped to suck hard at her nipples, then reached for a condom.
With the condom in place, he positioned his penis against her nether
lips, gently rubbing the tip across her opening.
     Serena felt him there. "Please, Darien! Please!" she gasped.
     Her hips began to thrust upward, trying to bring him in, as the
flames burned brighter within her, her desire and longing still
unanswered.
     "Here I am, my sweet," he whispered.
     He then pressed his mouth to hers, and she could feel his tongue
sliding into her. As the warmth of his body enveloped her, she held him
tightly with her arms and legs, still seeking desperately to bring him
inside her. Just as she pushed her hips up again, he drove himself
forward, propelling his manhood deep into her. She groaned as he plunged
into her, filling her up so exquisitely. The glow shone brightly within
her as she and her lover were again made one.
     As he was deep inside the warm, loving embrace of her womanhood, he
clung to her lovingly, letting their bodies set the pace. He kissed her
lips and cheeks, while letting their link open still farther, sharing
more of himself with her.
     She felt him opening his mind to her, offering still greater
intimacy, and she responded by opening herself to him. Their hearts spoke
directly in love that needed no words.
     Warmed to the depths of his soul by her love for him, he pulled
himself back, hearing Serena gasp and feeling her arms and legs tighten
around him. Quickly, however, he reversed himself, sliding slowly forward
and sending his manhood back deep inside her where they both wanted and
needed it.
     His slow movements were driving her insane. He now knew her body so
well, that he knew precisely how to bring the most pleasure to her. His
incredible slow pace, and the way in which he was rubbing the length of
his hardness over her most sensitive spot were sending her ever higher
into realms of pleasure. She gasped with every move as a tremendous wave
of raw delight tore through her.
     Darien could sense her pleasure, even as overwhelming sensations
swept through him. He held his pace, knowing what it was doing to her.
His lips touched hers and their tongues briefly caressed. Once again, his
penis thrust deep into her, bringing soft, passionate gasps from both of
them.
     Their bodies were moving in perfect coordination, when her pace
began to increase. He responded to stay with her, feeling her fast
approaching the brink. Again and again they thrust together, drawing ever
stronger cries from her.
     As the next thrust pushed him up, he clung to her tightly. Just
then, her every muscle locked up in orgasm as she plunged over the edge.
He held back as she cried out her ecstasy until the spasm finally began
to release her, only just barely managing not to be dragged over with
her.
     While she gasped for breath, he forced himself to pause, realizing
he was teetering on the brink. As he felt more in control, he resumed his
slow stroking motion, adjusting himself as she began to respond.
     Serena kissed him, moaning softly with delight, as he moved inside
her. Waves of pleasure were tearing through her, and she was vaguely
aware that she was fast building up to another climax. Through their
link, she again poured out her love to him.
     With surprise, he felt her pace increasing rapidly. Overwhelmed by
his own pleasure, he hardly had the chance to consciously examine what
was coming through the link from her. They thrust together again and
again, bringing him ever closer to the brink. He pressed his lips briefly
to hers.
     She felt him push up into her, when she was seized by another
orgasm, wiping out all other sensation. As she was screaming his name in
joy, his manhood continued to drive deeper, propelled by his own
climactic spasm.
     Darien's muscles drove him forward hard as he poured himself out
into his condom and her body spasmed passionately underneath him. He lay
there, unable to move, as their muscles squeezed the last bit of pleasure
from both of them. Finally, they fell limp, sighing softly in love and
satisfaction. Despite his body's unwillingness, he slipped himself out of
her, and removed his condom.
     They snuggled together, softly dozing. Eventually, as the sun was
beginning to set, she leaned over and caressed his cheek, then kissed
him.
     "This has been such a wonderful weekend. Just so perfect," she
sighed.
     "I couldn't agree more," he said. "But now, we should start thinking
about dinner, and you did tell your mother you'd spend some time
studying."
     "Ooohhh, that sure spoils the fun," she groaned. "Can't we do
something more fun?" She slid her hand playfully down across his abdomen.
     "Later," he said. "I have to study as well. And maybe I can help you
with your studies."
     "That sounds like a bore," she pouted.
     "Well, think of it this way," he suggested. "Your parents are a lot
less likely to object to you spending time with a college-age tutor, than
with a college-age boyfriend."
     She grinned, kissing him on the lips. "I do like the way you think,
Muffin."
                           - - - - - - - - - -
     Darien found Serena was a quick study, when she wanted to be.
Ignoring the rote and repetition methods common at her school, he spent
an hour helping her with her math homework, finishing with her actually
understanding most of it.
     "That really wasn't so hard, afterall. Although I certainly would
never tell Miss H that," she said, snuggling up to him. "Why can't they
explain it in school the way you did?"
     "I don't know," he answered. "Teachers seem to assume you have to
drill it into memory first, and only then figure out what to do with it.
I've always found it so much easier to learn through practical
applications."
     "Yeah. Hands on. I like that idea," she said softly, sliding a hand
up his thigh.
     He took her hand in his own. "Not yet. Only after we finish," he
said.
     Frowning, she turned back to her homework. She had to admit, even
studying was nicer when she was with Darien. He knew just how to coax her
along, and how to explain things so she could understand. And of course,
just being with Darien made everything seem nicer.
- - - - - - - - - -
     They finished their night with a shower, each softly and lovingly
washing the other. While she was rinsing him, Serena grasped Darien's
penis in her hands and started caressing it firmly.
     "Oh, yes," he groaned. "That's so good."
     Smiling happily, she continued stroking the length of his hardness,
while crouching down in front of him and licking his tip.
     The waves of pleasure made him feel like his head was no longer
completely attached to his body, except for one link to his throbbing
manhood.
     "Serena!" he gasped, as she took his member in her mouth and licked
it like a lollipop.
     She moaned with passion and anticipation. One of her hands was now
cradling his sac, as she eagerly sought to bring him to release.
     His body stiffened and he could feel the peak approaching. He swept
his hands down over her wet hair and across her back. With a sharp
thrust, his senses were overwhelmed, reducing his awareness to the
spasming of his member.
     Serena recognized the signs in his body and was ready when his
muscles thrust and his semen flooded into her waiting mouth. As the
initial surge subsided, she gulped it down, then began gently sucking his
member to draw out the remainder, savoring his taste.
     She rose slowly to her feet, kissing her way up his chest. When she
was fully standing, he kissed her lips deeply and passionately, turning
her around and pressing her against the wall. He then slid a hand up
between her legs, caressing her nether lips with his fingers. She moaned
into their kiss, which he refused to separate.
     Serena was on fire, with his ravenous tongue deep in her mouth and
his merciless fingers deep inside her womanhood. Through the link, she
begged him for more. In response, his fingers stroked her jewel, seeming
to light her nerves on fire. Overwhelmed with raw pleasure, she screamed
into their kiss, then struggled for breath through her nose.
     As she gyrated wildly to his touch, he slid his fingers deeper into
her, again rubbing her swollen jewel. This time their mouths came apart
as she cried out her ecstasy. He gave her time to take several breaths,
then pressed his mouth to hers once more.
     Already, she couldn't think straight as she hurtled toward the edge,
her honey flowing out of her around his exquisitely probing fingers. Her
legs were spreading wider of their own volition, giving him still greater
access. He pulled back once more, this time grasping her jewel and
squeezing it. Her reality instantly exploded into a bright whiteness
before her eyes and a raging flood of liquid pleasure rushing out of her.
     Darien held her in his arms, letting her breathing and heart rate
slow. After a gentle kiss, he carefully rinsed her off, then turned off
the water and helped her out of the tub.
     "That was wonderful," she sighed.
     "I enjoyed it too," he said, taking a towel and drying her off.
     Returning to her senses enough to help, she took a towel from him
and started drying the long, flowing expanse of her golden hair. When
they were both done, he led her back into the bedroom.
     She climbed under the covers. He slipped on a condom, then joined
her. They kissed passionately as he positioned himself, bringing his
hardness to the lips of her yearning womanhood.
     "Oh, I love you so much," she gasped.
     "And I love you," he replied.
     They moved as one, her hips rising up to meet his thrust, burying
his manhood deep within her warm, loving embrace. They both gasped in raw
pleasure.
     He started off slow, using long sensual strokes to gradually bring
her to her peak. Matching him perfectly, she clamped down with her inner
muscles at the height of each thrust, drawing a passionate moan from him.
He grinned at her wickedly, driving himself harder into the next thrust.
She gasped breathlessly, but still managed to clamp down on him. Soon,
their pace grew faster and such games fell to the side. They kissed
passionately, while they thrust together again and again. A sharp thrust
drove her over the edge, setting of an exquisite orgasm. As her muscles
seized up, he struggled to hold himself back.
     He gradually resumed his motion, again starting slow. On fire with
ecstasy, she clung to him tightly, hungering for more. Their hearts spoke
directly of undying love as a warm glow filled them both. He kissed her
lips while reveling in the enveloping warmth of her womanhood. She gasped
at his next thrust while she soared again toward the edge. In only a
moment, she was consumed by another orgasm, seeming to wring out of her
everything she had to give.
     Gasping for breath, Darien was as amazed as she was that he had
managed to hang on. He kissed her cheek and pushed himself up into her
again, knowing that tonight they weren't going to have any trouble
falling asleep. She gasped over and over, but her body held pace with
his, moving together flawlessly. The fire was blazing inside both of
them, growing more intense with each movement. Completely overwhelmed
with sexual pleasure, they reached climax together, their bodies
convulsing sharply and powerfully, the spasm physically locking them
together seemingly for ages before finally releasing them to fall limp,
totally spent.
     He kissed her lips softly, then slipped himself out of her. Serena's
eyes flickered briefly at his movement then fell closed. Darien pulled
off his condom, then settled himself back alongside her. With a soft,
contented sigh, she snuggled herself against him, her head on his
shoulder. He barely had time to register this before he was sound asleep.
- - - - - - - - - -
     The next morning, he awoke first, joyously finding his beloved
Serena there beside him. He lay there quietly, simply enjoying her
presence and feeling the love radiating through their link. Finally, he
moved, shifting his position so he could kiss her lips. She awoke, joy
singing in her heart.
     "I do like waking up in your bed, Muffin," she sighed.
     "I like it too, my love," he said. "Almost as much as falling asleep
beside you after a night of torrid passion."
     "To be followed by a morning of torrid passion," she suggested,
grinning.
     "I do like the sound of that," he said, kissing her passionately.
     Fire swelled in both of them as she melted into his embrace. Her
legs opened to receive him. Only at the last moment did he remember
protection, pulling back to hastily put on a condom. Now protected, he
kissed her again, then plunged himself into her in one strong motion. She
cried out wordlessly in delight at being one with him, their hearts
saying directly everything that needed to be said. Long and slow they
moved together, achieving an exquisite unity, a completeness of both body
and soul. Passion burned hotter and pleasure swept them higher as two
lovers joined themselves freely and fully. Her first orgasm tore through
her with waves of irresistible ecstasy. Her eyes shone as brightly as the
glow within them when they resumed their movements, still in perfect
unity. Passion grew still more intense as his member throbbed deep inside
her womanhood, carrying them higher and higher. Again they climaxed in
unison, their bodies locked together as they poured out all they had
before collapsing jointly. Darien just managed to get his condom off
before rolling back alongside her and falling asleep.
- - - - - - - - - -
     The alarm had awoken them about an hour later. They felt
tremendously at ease with themselves and the world as they ate breakfast
and prepared for the day. Their conversation was light and brief, each
already knowing the other's thoughts and able to communicate through the
heart. They frequently touched and kissed. Darien took his time in
helping her put her hair up, simply enjoying its scent and her presence.
     "This has been just a fabulous weekend, Muffin," she said.
     "I agree, my sweet. And I'm looking forward to more."
     "So am I!"
     They kissed deeply.
     "You're going to be late for school," he cautioned. "And if you get
detention, we won't be able to arrange a tutoring session."
     Her eyes lit up. "Oooo, then let's go."
     Smiling at her infectious enthusiasm, he followed her to the door,
knowing that they had their entire future in front of them, a future
together.

NOTE: Special thanks to Sexylyon for providing the original story that
made this one possible.  And thanks again to everyone who has sent e-
mails complimenting the story.  Several have asked if I was going to
continue it, with one asking if I would keep it going through the fifth
season of the anime (gasp).  Well, this is all I've planned for now, but
if I am inspired with a good enough story idea, I might do a sequel.

Meanwhile, what about Rei?  Afterall, she "lost" Darien to Serena.  Well,
I have an answer for that one, in a yarn that should be ready in the next
week or two, set in the Interlude/A New Song continuity.  Title: "Don't
Close Your Eyes".  Enjoy.
