Stop doing this to me. You've hurt me...I broke into tears again. I fell into his arms, and that familiar feeling crept in me again, the warm, comforting feeling of protection. He stroked my hair, and that was the first time I saw tears in his eyes. "Hush, it was all my fault, me and my stupid heart. Afraid of being crushed, and hurt, afraid of seeing you and Seiya getting maried. That night, I died when I thought you had said Yes to him. I didn't want to live anymore. I just didn't know what I would do without you" He was crying. I was crying, too. Our tears blended together, and fell into my heart, breaking the seal, releasing my soul, my beliefs, my love for him. Then I knew that nothing else mattered anymore. Just on plain, simple fact. Why couldn't I see it before? Why did I make it so complicated? It was so simple...so clear...like crystal, like tears... "Darien, I'd hate to say this, but you shouldn't have said all these things. You've wasted so much time, you know that? Because ...you already had me at Hello" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whirlwind of Fate Epilogue By Silver Sun Email: Silversun80@hotmail.com "What's with the chicken robe, Sere?" "Chicken robe? CHICKEN ROBE???????????????" A voice somewhere, in the middle of the night boomed out loud, it had the power of waking up a whole village. But the fact remained, Serena Tsukino was not happy with the chicken robe. She had spent 3 hours of trying out clothes, tearing them and herself apart. And now, no matter how much she'd hate to agree with Raye's comment, she did look like a chicken in the big fat yellow dress. "Raye..What shall I do?" I moaned out loud, letting out a huge sigh. I might as well go naked. "Well, you could start by taking that ugly feathery robe off..." I quickly took off the robe. "Now, go into your bed room, and put on something else, preferably human-like" I walked quietly into the bed room, and opened the ward robe. What would a girl do in my situation? I desperately asked. "Raye, what would you do in my situation?" "Go naked" I gave her the look, that said clearly, Raye, be Serious, I have a very big problem at hand here. "Raye...not this summer dress...not that skirt...not..." "Sere, how 'bout Jeans and T-shirt?" "Raye, Have you gone mad? Imagine, your boyfriend was going to have dinner with you, in the Starlight Room, candlelit dinner with roses and the most expensive champagne, and you turn up with jeans and T-shirt?" "Yes" "No way in hell! I'd rather stay at home, than turning up with Jeans and T-shirt" With that thought in mind, I walked slowly in the bathroom, one quick glance at the jeans, I let out a sigh of defeat... I was going to the Starlight Room, with my boy friend, Darien Chiba. In Jeans and T-shirt. God help me, because I needed it bad. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Meat Ball Head, casual look suits ya. Come on, or we'll be late" His voice was so honest, that I almost believed him. In the black Tuxedo, he looked good enough to eat, I felt utterly stupid, going to a formal dinner in Jeans and T-shirt. But it was really his fault that all my clothes were packed, and I had sent them off to Chicago. Where I was supposed to be now. The Starlight Room looked magnificent, with the dimly lit light, candles, roses, and live music. Everything was romantic, and special. I stood at the double French door, speechless, I would never have dreamt of going to the Starlight Room, and even if you were here at this moment and ask me. I would still say that I couldn't believe it. Our table was arranged near the window, where I could see the beautiful view of the city. The sky was decorated with tiny, twinkly stars, and the moon hung dimly above our heads. "Darien, I'm so sorry, turning up like this, but all my clothes are packed and I couldn't..." He took my hands in his and slightly kissed my fingers. He chuckled as I stuttered. "Meat Ball Head, don't be sorry. I forgive you, who in their right mind wouldn't if a gorgeous girl is having dinner with them, who manages to look good in anything, especially with nothing" I blushed, a crimson red shade crept up my face. How was it so easy for the blasted man to joke, when I was feeling like a complete idiot? We ordered champagne, and had the three meal course. The foods were good, hell, It was beyond good, but none of us could talk much. I didn't know what it was, but my palms were unusually sweaty, and Darien just kept looking at me, from across the table. Every once in a while, he would take my hands and stroke my fingers softly. When desert was being served, I really couldn't take it anymore. "Darien, you didn't pay a fortune, just to look at me eat. What is on your mind exactly?" "You, and how beautiful you look tonight" I blushed. "Darien, I'm serious" "So am I. I'm deadly serious" He answered evenly. Damn the man, I could never win an argument over him. "You know, the way you're looking at me now...It's just like the look that you had on your face when we first met" "Oh, really? You mean the I-have-something-in-my-teeth look?" I punched him slightly on the arm. God, how I loved that man. "Yeah, that, seems like history is repeating itself" "Serena...I have something to tell you" He sounded unusually nervous, carefully, I took his hands in mine, and whispered. "Anything, Darien" "Serena, I know that things weren't always wonderful between us - then he chuckled when I looked at him, my eyes rolling - Ok, I admit, things weren't always great between Meat Balls and the Ignorant jerk. But things couldn't be more right, and everything is what it should be. Meeting you, loving you was the best thing that had happened in my life. Like water, like oxygen - I laughed at his scientific examples - but more than that, you are everything to me. I..." He didn't have to say any more. I was crying, tears of joys and happiness. Taking his face in my hands, I said. "Yes, Darien, I will marry you" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The End There, all done and finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
