Part 5 of "Vacation With an Enemy". ANs at bottom. Disclaimers: I don't own Sailor Moon or it characters, but this story I do own. ***********************8:00AM Darien's Room*********************** Darien laid in his bed staring at the ceiling all night trying to think of a way to make everything up with Serena, but he still had no idea. 'How am I going to make this up to her? I practically jump her in her own room like some hormone driven teenager. What is wrong with me? Do I even like her? Maybe I should write my feelings down like she did. It has been too long since I wrote in my journal.' So Darien sat up in bed, and reached into his dresser to grab his journal and a pen. After retrieving the things he needed, he sat at the window to write. Dear Journal, Yesterday, I jumped Serena. Well, I went into her room, read her journal, stripped my clothes down to just boxers, and when she got there jumped her. I think I let, scratch that, I KNOW I let my hormones take control. That has never happened to me before, but when I'm around Serena, I can't seem to help myself. Usually, I use teasing to make her leave before I do something like I did yesterday. I guess spending a week with her is too much for me. My one question is, do I like her, or am I just attracted to her? That is what I need to find out. Well, lets go over what draws me to her. She has a smile that can light up a room, lips that are begging to be touched, eyes that always sparkle with a secret, hair that is like silk, a figure to die for, legs that go on for miles, kindness that touches even me, an inner beauty that shines out, and a laugh that is like music to my ears. Oh GOD! I AM in LOVE with MEATBALL HEAD!? When did this happen? I guess somewhere along the way as I pushed her away, she pushed her way into my heart, but now I've ruined things. If she didn't hate me before, she does now. How do I make it up to her? I'm going for a walk to think this out. Later, Darien. Darien put down the pen, and dressed for the day as quickly as possible. After a quick bite in the kitchen, he was off walking in the woods. ***********************9:00AM Serena's room************************** Serena quickly dressed for the day, and peeked into Darien's room to see if he was there. Of course the room was empty leaving her feeling relieved and disappointed at the same time. She closed the door quietly, and decided today was the day she'll actually do something useful on her vacation. In a very unlike Serena fashion, she went to read the book she had to read for her book report. 'Stupid, Miss Haruna! I can't believe she gave us homework during spring vacation. As much as I HATE doing my homework, I have to do well on this book report or my parents will ground me until I'm 60.' With that thought in mind, Serena picked up, "Little Women", and began reading it. Before she knew it, she was so interested in the book that 4 hours had passed. Serena gingerly put down the book, and went to search the kitchen for food. Upon finding an apple, sandwich, and a chocolate bar she went to read more of her book before her peace would be ruined by Darien. 'Where is that jerk anyway? Not that I care......I just want to make sure he stays far away from me!!' ****************************1:00PM The Lake****************** Darien had just finished eating his lunch that he brought with him, and decided to go swimming. He, of course, neglected the fact that you have to wait an hour after you eat rule, and swims for an hour. He tired quickly because he ignored that rule, and by the time he was finished, he felt a bit queasy. So he lied down to take a nap. Darien had been asleep more than an hour when the sky began to darken, and it got a lot colder. Darien was sound asleep, and didn't realize by being still wet he could freeze to death in this new chill. ****************************4:00PM The Cabin***************** Serena looked up from her reading when she realized she was squinting to read, and reached over to a lamp to turn it on. She glanced at the clock, wondering what time it was. '4:00PM ......Weird. Why is it so dark then?' Serena stood and stretched her limbs before she headed to a window to find out what was going on. From the front window, she could see that the sky was quickly becoming stormy, and any second, rain would begin to fall. She just hoped there wouldn't be any thunder or lighting. She shivered at the thought, and suddenly wished Darien was there with her. 'Where is that idiot anyway?' Serena soon got her answer as she went out on the front porch, and saw Darien's body by the lake. It looked like he was dead, but Serena thought he was either pretending or sleeping. She went over to him to tell him to get his butt inside when, she noticed that he was indeed asleep and very blue looking. The fact he was bluish was the thing that was freaking Serena out. She felt his forehead. His forehead was burning up, but the rest of his face was clammy and cool. Serena stood there a moment racking her brain with what to do. She finally decided that Darien first need to get inside. She gently shook him so he was semiconscious as she took him into the house. She led him to the couch where he fell on it, and promptly became unconscious. 'Now what? Oh! I need to get him warm, so I need to put dry clothes on him. One problem, he is only wearing swimming trunks, which means I'll have to see him naked again. I'm not sure I want to do this, but even if he is a jerk I should try to save him. So I can do this....I think.' Serena raced down the hall to Darien's room to find warm clothes for him. A few minutes later Serena returned with a pair of boxers and a sweat outfit. 'Now how do I get this stuff on him? Maybe I can arouse him enough to dress himself.' Serena shook Darien back to consciousness. "Darien, I need you to take off your swimming trunks." Darien looked at her groggily. "So you changed your mind, and decided to sleep with me after all." Serena's face flushed at his words. "No you, Conceited Jerk! You are sick, and I need to get you warm. Please put these clothes on." Darien looked confused for a second, but then obeyed silently. Serena blushed, and turned around muttering, "You could have waited for me to turn around at least." 'God.....I want him so badly, but NO! I can't. I will take care of him not because I like him or want him, but because it is the right thing to do.' She turned around when he grunted that he was finished. Upon turning around, Serena discovered he had indeed changed his clothes, and told him to stay there while she got some blankets. Serena went to Darien's room to grab his blankets when she noticed a book on the bed. Glancing at it briefly, she discovered it was Darien's journal. She decided to read it since he read hers. A few minutes later she quickly shut the journal, and placed it on the nightstand beside the bed. 'He loves me?? Oh.....dear. Do I love him?' She shook her head clear of those thoughts. 'Right now the only thing that matters is making sure Darien gets better.' She grabbed the needed bedding, and rushed back downstairs. Upon arriving there, she found Darien fast asleep. She covered him up with a blanket, and then went upstairs to change for bed. She changed, then went to the kitchen to attempt to make chicken noodle soup, but failed. She dumped out the contents, disgusted with herself. Suddenly, she heard a moan from the living room, and rushed to check on Darien. She found him awake, but looking very sick still. "How do you feel?" Darien raised his eyes to meet hers after looking over her lithe form showing through the not very modest nightie she was wearing. Serena felt his eyes rove over her, and shivered at the intensity of the gaze. "I think I'll be fine, but I am hungry." "Well, I tried to make some soup, but well it turned out very poorly." Serena's gaze dropped after that. "Don't worry, Serena, I'll take a sandwich instead." Serena looked up at him, and smiled a dazzling smile until she remembered she was mad at him. Quickly she left to make the sandwich. Darien sat there thinking. 'She took care of him, but that doesn't mean much. She would take care of anybody in need. That is why I love her.' His thoughts were interrupted by Serena placing a plate with a sandwich on it in front of him. He ate the sandwich quickly. After that, he began to feel kind of sick again, and decided to lie down. Serena looked at Darien worriedly when he laid back down. "Are you alright?" Darien turned to her from his spot on the couch. "Yeah, I'm alright. I just don't feel so good. I think......" Darien didn't say anymore as he passed out. Serena nearly shrieked, but kept her cool. Instead, she got a thermometer, and checked Darien's temperature. 'He has a temperature of a 101 degrees F. I better find something to give him.' By 7:00PM, Darien was comfortably sleeping, and Serena was dead tired. As she was about to leave, Darien aroused himself enough to ask her to stay with him. So she went to the couch, and moved Darien over a little. Then she laid down beside him with his arm over her small figure. Then the two fell blissfully asleep. ****************END OF PART 5************************** Ans: Sorry it took so long, but I was very busy with starting school again.
