Hiya!  Here's chapter two of Learning to Love Someone You Hate!

Disclaimer: Once again, I don't own Sailor Moon.  I never will.  I'm just 
borrowing Naoko Takeuchi's characters.

Title: Learning to Love Someone You Hate-Chapter 2

Author: Meatball Head

Note: Serena and the other scouts go to a college that is near their homes.  They 
are all 22 and Darien and Andrew are 25.

**************************************************************************************
*Last time on Learning to Love Someone You Hate*

	"Fine, if you don't want me as a leader, then you won't have me as a leader!  
From now on, I'm going solo!"  And with that, I ran out of the temple.  I ran and 
ran and ran across the street.  What I didn't know was that a huge truck was heading 
straight toward me.

*And now, on with the story!*
**************************************************************************************

*Serena's POV*

	I didn't see the truck.  I couldn't see anything with tears falling from my 
eyes.  The last thing I remember was someone saying, "Serena!  Watch out!"  And then, 
everything went blank.
	I woke up a few seconds later.  I was dizzy and I was having a terrible 
headache.  But I didn't feel any other pains.  I sat up and while rubbing my head, 
I looked around.  Lying next to me on the ground was..Darien.  He was unconscious 
and around him was a pool of red blood.  I gasped and realized what had happened.  
The person saying, "Serena!  Watch out!" was Darien.  He must have pushed me out of 
the way and got hit himself.  I crawled over to him and took his wrist to see if he 
was still breathing.  He was, but barely.  Then I heard sirens and I felt extremely 
dizzy.  I blacked out again.

**************************************************************************************

*Serena's POV*
(Tokyo General Hospital)

	Ugh.  I feel so tired.  Where am I?  I look around.  This place looks 
like...a hospital room.  The last thing I remember was blacking out after hearing 
sirens.  Darien!  Oh my god.  Where is he?  I stand up and immediately the dizziness 
comes back to me.  Err…I sit down on the bed again.  Then, a woman is a big, white 
coat comes in carrying a clipboard.  
	"Who are you?" I ask suspiciously.  I tried to get up.
	"Relax, Ms. Tsukino.  My name is Dr. Samato.  I'm your doctor." She answered.
	"Oh.  Where's Darien?  Is he alright?" 
	"You must mean the young man who was hit by a truck." She said.
	"Yes, that's him.  Where is he?  Where's Darien?" I ask earnestly.
	"Ms. Tsukino--"
	"Call me Serena.  I hate formalities."
	"Yes, Serena.  You see, Mr. Chiba has been badly injured.  His inner 
intestines are badly damaged and you see he might not make it."
	"NO!  Where is he?  I have to see him!  PLEASE!" I beg.
	"Serena, you are in no condition to see anyone.  Besides, Mr. Chiba is resting.  
The doctors have just performed surgery on him and he must get his sleep."
	"No, Dr. Samato.  I have to see him!  He saved my life and he might be about to 
lose his own!  Please let me see him!" I implored.
	"Well, I guess a few minutes won't hurt.  But I'm only giving you ten minutes 
and that's it.  Agreed?" she asked.
	"Agreed." I answered.  I put on my clothes and she led me down a hallway.  She 
stopped at a room and opened the door for me. 
	"Don't worry.  I'll respect your privacy," she whispered before I went in.  
There he was.  But he didn't look the same.  There were tubes attached to him and there 
were bandages wrapped around his body.  I slid into the chair beside his bed.  
	"Darien" I whispered.  His bangs were in his eyes so I brushed them aside.  He 
looked so peaceful.  Only yesterday, he was mean and obnoxious.  But now, something 
happened to him.  I just don't know what.  Hmm.  He's a changed person.  I kept a close 
eye on him.  Suddenly, his hand moved.  I gasped and took his hand into mine.
	Then his eyes were open.  They weren't all the way open, but they were still open.  
I looked into them and saw that they were the most beautiful I had ever seen.  
	"Meatball head?" he whispered weakly.
	"Yeah, it's me.  It's Serena, Darien."  He tried to smile, but only managed a 
small grin.
	"Are you all right?" he asked.
	"I'm fine thanks to you.  You saved me, Darien.  Do you know that?"  Tears 
started to fall from my eyes, one by one.  His hand was then free from my grasp and he 
reached up towards my face and brushed the tears away.  I put my hand over his.  His 
hand was soft and smooth.  I didn't ever want this to end, but I looked at the clock and 
saw that my ten minutes were up.  I took his hand and put it beside him.
	"I have to go, Darien.  You have to have another operation." I said.  He nodded.  
Then I said, "Please don't die.  Promise me that, okay?"  
	He nodded and then said, "I promise, Meatball Head."
	I smiled.  I stood up to leave.  Then I stopped.  I bent over him and his 
kissed him on the cheek.  "I'll come back later, after the surgery, okay?"  He 
didn't do anything except smile.  I left.
