Love and Jealousy - Chapter One. Revenge. p2 - Anime - http://maxpages.com/johnsficpage/Love_and_Jealousy_chp_1

The streets were crowded with people and passing cars as Serena tried to
make her way through the enormous crowd. She squeezed through the small
areas where no one was passing, hoping to get to Rei's Temple on time. But
with all the people, she felt like Salmon trying to swim up a river.

Her eyes darted from to person to person, hoping that one of them was
Brad. She searched for a familiar male face among the people....and she did
see one. Unfortunatly, it wasn't Brad. It was Satan himself. None other then
Darien Chiba.

Frowning, Serena tried to hide among the passing people. Unfortunatly,
Darien was a tall person and easily spotted his favorite meatball head
trying to hide among the people. Grinning mischivously, he walked up to her
and grabbed her wrist, creating a small squeek to escape her lips. Her
expressions seemed terryfied at the sight of him. She didn't seem too
pleased to find his hand on her wrist either.

Growling, she pulled her hand back but failed miserably since Darien's grip
was strong. It didn't hurt her but it was deffinatly firm and from where she
was standing, he obviously didn't look like he was going to release her any
time soon.

Remembering what Brad had said earlier, she gathered all the anger she
could feel at the moment and did her best not to start crying. Narrowing her
eyes, Serena shot him a cold look, but her lower lip was tembling and that
gave her whole act away. Darien laughed in mockery, and needless to say, he
once again began his 'meatball head' speech.

" Well, meatball head...aren't you suppose to be doing your homework right
now instead of trying to hide in the crevices of passing people? " Serena
stuck her tongue out at him and pouted. " Well for your information, Darien,
I already finished my homework and I was not trying to hide! " She spat.
Darien laughed again, tears forming in his eyes. " You actually finished
your homework, meatball head? Someone call the press! Meatball head finished
her homework! It's the eighth wonder of the world! " He mocked.

Some of the people stared at him while others laughed as well. Upon seeing
this, Serena felt her tears rise up again but drew it back and tried her
best to glare at him. " I'm not that stupid, you know! I have my reasons for
being such a klutz and crybaby. No one's born stupid! " Darien arched his
brow and grinned. " Well, meatball head, I'm sure you have your reasons. You
probably get tired everyday which is why you're usualy so dumb when it comes
to class. "

Serena frowned at his comment but didn't feel too bad. She even felt
surprised since Darien seemed to be so understanding at the moment. But that
silly grin on his face told her that there was more to come and he wasn't
being nice.

Darien smirked. " You're probably stressed out, Serena......stressed out
from eating too much! "

Spoke too soon.....

Serena turned bright red with anger as her eyes began to water. A salty
tear slipped down her cheeks. She wanted to run away, but her legs wouldn't
work. Se begged her legs to run away from the bastard and from the looks
people were giving her. But she couldn't.

Turning to face him, Serena let a few tears fall. " Darien, why are you
always so mean to me?! I'm a human you know! Not an animal! " Darien sighed.
" You're wrong, Serena....you're not a human. You're a pig! "

That hit a nerve and at the very last word, Serena's tears poured down her
cheeks as she began to run away. And just as her legs began to work, the
moment she took a few steps, she tripped and fell on her knees, knocking
both herself and Darien down.

Shaking her head, Serena cleared her vision as her eyes rose to meet a
pair of angry midnight blue spheres, obviously mad at her for klutzing out
again. And if the eyes were scary then she deffinatly did not want to hear
the owner of it. Darien glared at her, lightning flashing across the
midnight skies of his eyes. " Serena, you ditz! Why don't you watch where
you're going?! " He yelled.

Serena stood up and took a step back in fear. Darien stood up as well and
brushed some dirt off his pants. He turned his icy gaze back on her and
growled. " You could've knocked me onto the street, Serena! I could have
died! " Serena's first instinct was to run away and cry. But something came
over her....that same feeling when Brad dissapeared. Grasping her chest, her
eyes fixed on her pocket where she could see the green stick glow a bright
green. The light was so intense, she felt like she was being hypnotized
while staring at it.

Shaking her head, she looked back up to meet Darien's eyes which were
surprisingly full of concern. But this didn't stop her from what she was
going to say....

" Then I hope you do die, Darien! Go to hell! That's where you belong
anyway, Satan! "

She spat, gaining a shocked look from Darien and gasps from the people who
were watching the scene. Darien frowned, not sure what to say.

" Serena.....why would I want to die? If I did die then I wouldn't get to
torture you anymore. "

He bit back, a sly grin forming on his face. He expected a water fountain
of tears to explode, but what came wasn't what he expected. Instead of a
crying Serena....he got an angry one. Serena growled at him, her blue eyes
piercing into his own. Flame seemed to rise from her ears as fire of hatred
danced in eyes. Hatred was burning......

" Well maybe I don't want to be tortured anymore! "

" Serena...torturing you is my purpose here on earth and you have to live
with it. "

" I already have, Satan! And now it's your turn to feel the same
pain...except this time, you're not going to live. "

" Serena, what are you talking about? You're talking nonsense. "

" Oh, no I'm not, Chiba! I've had it with your stupid comments! I already
know that I'm a stupid klutz who can't score a B even if my life depended on
it. You've made your point clear, Chiba. Now stop shoving it in my face! "

" Serena.....stop this. This isn't you. "

" People change, Darien. So live with it....in hell! "

" Serena, what are you talking about? "

" Revenge, Satan. I'm taking about revenge. But of course, you would know
about it since you are the devil! "

" Serena....revenge isn't your department. Everyone knows that. "

" I know Darien. But the Serena who hated revenge is gone now. She doesn't
exist anymore. You're talking to a new Serena now, Darien. And I won't let
you push my around anymore! At least not this time. And I can promise
you.....after today, you'll wish you never tortured me! "

Laughs......" Yeah right, Serena! That will be the day when hell freezes
over! "

" Well, Darien....that day is today. "

" Sure, Serena. And how do you plan to make me miserable? "

Evil grin...." By telling the truth, Darien. "

There was a hint of mockery and an annoying sweetness in her voice that
Darien has never heard of before....and he had a feeling he wasn't going to
like it. The light in Serena's pocket glowed brighter as an over-whelming
feeling swept over her, as if taking full control of her actions. Darien
noticed this but didn't have time to check if what he saw was real since
Serena took a step foreward and grinned evily. Arching his brow, Darien
looked at her questioningly.
" What truth? "

" Oh, c'mon Darien. You know what I'm talking about. You know what you
really are. "

" What do you mean?! "

" I mean, you're a loner, Darien! Face it! If it weren't for your good looks
then no one would like you! "

" That's not true, Serena. I've got friends and you know it. "

" Sure you do....you've got friends like Andrew and you've got girls
swooning at your feet. But guess what, buddy? They only like you because of
your good looks. If you were ugly then no one would like you. You've got
lots of friends, Darien.....but tell me, do any of them really care about
you? "

That last statement struck him like a lightning bolt as the truth revealed
itself. Serena's words stung like a million wasps and Darien knew it was
true. She was right. If it weren't for his good looks and charms then he
would be nothing. All he has is his brains and appearances.....but he has no
one. No one really did care about him. Andrew was probably the only person
that really cared about him. But as for the others, he wasn't so sure about
them. But despite the harsh words, Serena went on.

" Darien, people only see you as 'Darien the intelligent' or 'Darien the
dreamboat' and other fancy names. But tell me, do they ever see you as the
real Darien? Do they see the real you? Do they really see who you are
inside? If you ask them, they'll lie and say yes but if you ask me, I won't
lie and I'll say no. They only think of you as a hunk, Darien. The popular
guy. But they'll never learn to really love you. No one will. You're just a
little boy toy. And you know it, don't you? "

Darien frowned. He was mute at the moment, unable to say anything to
defend himself since he knew it was true. If people were to find out about
his past....if they found out that he has no family and no other people in
his life to really care about him, except Andrew who was like a brother to
him, then they probably wouldn't accept him. They won't.

Serena grinned evily, feeling more powerful than ever. She felt as if
revenge was finally in her grasp and now that she has it, she wasn't willing
to let it go. For the first time her life, she felt strong. Stronger than
anyone....and she liked being strong. She liked being powerful. She liked
revenge......

" Now you know how it feels to be the only one different, Darien. Now you
know how it feels to have all your mistakes and faults pointed out and
shoved in your face. Now you know how it feels to have everyone looking at
you and discover the truth. Now you know how it feels like to be hurt, to be
cornered, to be crushed and helpless, to feel like no one will ever
understand you....to be weak. You finally know how it feels to be lower than
everyone else, Darien. It's what you've done to me for such a long
time....and now it's all coming back to you. Besides, what goes around,
comes around. "

Serena grinned at him, her eyes piercing into his own. Darien felt
guilty...and other negative emotions that flowed like a raging river that
struck him hard. And if the water hits him, it could send him over a
waterfall and he'de be gone, forever. Erased from the face of this earth.
And Darien felt that way. He felt like he just dropped down a hundred feet
of water. He felt like he was dead.....like trash that was just coated in
bright color to look good.....like nothing. He was nothing.

" Serena......"

" I'de love to stay and chat more, Darien, but I have to go. I have better
things to do rather than hang around trash like you! Good bye, Satan. And
rot in hell! "

At this, Serena grinned at him evily and walked away, leaving a gaping crowd
and a hurt Darien.

Turning around a corner, Serena grinned evily to herself, proud for what
she just did, but part of her felt terrible. However, that evil grin was
wiped off her face as the stick in her pocket began to glow a brighter green
and fade down slowly. Leaning on a wall for support, Serena gasped for air
as her breathing turned ragged. Her vision blurred once again but returned
to normal as the light faded.

Not quite sure about what just happened, she looked in her pocket and
grabbed the stick, gasping in pain as her delicate fingers made contact with
the green object, which seemed to burn like a lightbulb, except a little
cooler. The object fell back into her pocket, settling down upon the fine
cloth.

Sighing, Serena looked at the sky, trying to figure out what came over
her. A new feeling had washed over her in a matter of minutes and it made
her feel guilty....but then again, it made her feel powerful. She never knew
revenge could be so sweet. And at that moment, she decided that she was
going to like revenge.....

**************************************************************************************
Author's Notes: I'm done! That just took me two whole hours to write the
entire thing and my fingers ache like hell! But I hope it was worth it.
Anyway, please email me because I would really like to know what you people
think of my story. I know it's not much yet but I'm working on it. Besides,
this is just the beggining. By the way, if you think that I hate Darien and
I want Serena to hate him in my stories, then you're wrong. My fanfics are
always about a romance between Darien and Serena and I'm just adding
friction to this to complicate matters. So just because I added a bad fight
between the two, it doesn't mean that I hate Darien. And I'm really sorry
for the bad words I added in there, but as a writer, I'm used to adding
these words, just to express emotions. It's kinda hard to explain but I will
reduce the cussing.

Anyway, thanks again to John for your help and I would also like to thank
Michelle, Sassy V, and all the other SM fanfic writers that I know. It's
because of you that I actually have the strength to write fanfics. So, thank
you. You guys helped inspire me.

Chapter two's coming up and it's called " Strangers No More. " So, I hope
that got you interested. Until then, good bye for now.
