WARNING!! WARNING!! This story contains adult situations and is very explicit in the love scenes. You have been forewarned. This is a short episode that deals directly with Darien and Serena's marriage life, set sometime in the present and future. As you all know, Serena and Darien are my characters. This is again, strictly a romance. A hentai, for the hentai in all of us. Darien, is the sweet man we know here, but he is not an innocent. That much is evident, when you look closely to way he's drawn. His eyes are beautiful and knowing. They are not large and innocent looking as our female heros. I don't care for the sweet, innocent facade that some writers protray him to be. Darien is, in my opinion Serena's steady rock that she can lean upon. It takes some character and strength to be able to do that. And as you've probably guessed, Darien is my ultimate character. Serena being my next favorite. She is not protrayed here as the airhead, as you will notice as you read on. I honestly don't believe that an airhead can rule a kingdom, especially if it's set in the future. Nor do I think, as intelligent as Naoko drew Darien, that an airhead could hold his attention for a thousand years! ^-^ Anyhow, eoungh of all the chatter. We know who the Sailor Moon characters belong to. Please drop me an E-Mail and let me know what you think! Happy Reading....Lady M. Harris CHASE THE MOON Sometime in the future.... Darien smiled softly as gazed at his hankerchief. Serena had left a pink, smudged lipstick imprint of her lips on his hankerchief. From the look of the imprint, he guessed that she had kissed his hankerchief. Amazing, that they could be thinking almost identically. He had left her early this morning for a surgery scheduled for the following day in Singapore. She herself would be boarding the plane in San Francisco, right about now. She was scheduled to meet with a new client in Chicago, that afternoon. Darien looked out his window, pondering. He had left the Kennedy Airport an hour ago and he still had hours to go. The blue ocean was miles below him, its mass dense and motionless to him. He had been to Singapore only once and that had been for a doctors convention. He hadn't really been looking forward to going. He had only spent two days at their Nob Hill home in San Francisco, with Serena. Two wonderful days with his wife. His heart ached. He was already missing her. He was doing that frequently. They seem to spend less and less time together. As their work took them around the world, demanding all their time. He thought back to when their life had been simpler, than this hectic schedule that they kept. He had been doing his second residency in Boston, when Serena had entered the Boston University. It had shocked all her close friends, the Sailor Senshis. All of them were also in a college or a university, except for the outer Senshis. There were pursuing their own careers and raising their families. Amy was majoring as research scientist in medicine. Raye was majoring as psychiatric. Lita was enrolled in a prestigious culinary school. Everyone had expected Serena to enter college, but not for what she had majored in. Perhaps, as a decorator or a teacher? No, not Serena, she had to be dramatic. It had taken Darien a couple of years to adjust himself. When she had casually told him of her interest in computers, it had taken him aback somewhat. Computers? Serena and computers? If it had been Amy, he could have understood. He remembered a time when Serena wouldn't touch a computer. She had been afraid of destroying it. Serena, being Serena probably would have. Yet, she had thrown herself wholeheartily into the major. She had changed a lot, during the course of that year. It was something then, that he had not needed the distraction, especially since he was doing a lot of studying himself. She had gritted her teeth with determination, and with a well laid out plan before her (which was definitely not like her at all), set out to accomplish the impossible. For Serena, it had been indeed the impossible. She had had to study twice as hard as everyone else in her classes. And even more torturous hours in the computer labs. Her former study habits had been terribly awful. Darien even found himself dragged into Barns & Nobles bookstores as Serena poured over the large selection of computer software programming books. Her library of comic books were squeezed into a tiny niche in the corner of her apartment as the numerous, thicker and more interesting computer books over took her small study area. For her 2Oth birthday she had asked for her own powerful computer and laptop. Her father, perplexed by this unusual gift, bought it for her. Darien recalled the sound of Serena's father voice puzzled over the phone, questioning him. He had thought she wanted those pretty, white sapphire earrings? He found, as he watched his beloved labored studiously over her books, that she had indeed found her niche in life. She had blossomed from that point on. She became the computer wizard in programming software, especially in the finance aspects. She had also became an expert in several computer languages, graphics, multimedia and the World Wide Web. As she finished her junior year in the universit
