And now, what you've all been waiting for.....

(Last time on Learning To Love Someone You Hate)
   *Serena's POV*


	Yesterday, a 25-year old man was hit by a truck.  He was trying 
to push a woman out of the way of the truck but was hit himself in the 
doing.  The woman, Serena Tsukino, hit her head against the pavement of 
the sidewalk and both were taken to Tokyo General Hospital.  Doctors 
took action when Darien Chiba was first brought to the emergency room.  
A few hours later, Chiba went into surgery and Tsukino woke up.  The 
woman is said to be fine, thanks to the fine care of Dr. Canting 
Samato.  But the doctors are not sure about Chiba.  His surgeon, Dr. 
Heidi Awai, hopes that he will make it.  Samato says that there is a 
good chance that Chiba will live.  Chiba received severe damage to his 
inner intestines.  Police are still looking for the hit-and-run truck 
driver.  
	Serena Tsukino is a senior in Tokyo University, located in the 
Juuban area.  Police interviewed Tsukino's main professor, Rebecca Wu.  
"Serena is a good student.  She is such a sweet person.  She gets good 
grades and she is living up to her dream, to become a pediatrician.  I
don't know why she was on the street while a truck was coming straight 
toward her," the professor said.  Old university records show that 
Chiba also went to Tokyo University when he was in college.  
Surprisingly, he had Ms. Wu as his college professor also.  Wu said, 
"Darien was a good student too.  In fact, he was one of my best 
students.  His utmost goal was to become a surgeon.  It was very brave 
of him to push Miss Tsukino out of the way of the truck."  Police also 
interviewed Andrew Johnson, Darien Chiba's best friend.  "He never 
really liked Serena.  Every time he saw her, he would tease her.  His 
favorite insult for her was Meatball Head.  I don't understand why he 
would risk his own life, while trying to save Serena.  She and him had 
always been enemies, from the day they met," Johnson reported.

	I stopped reading.  Why?  It's because Darien's hand moved.....

Now on with the story!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Serena's POV*

	I put the newspaper down and stared at Darien.  He was moaning, 
like he was in pain.  He seemed hurt so I decided to call the nurse.  
But I didn't get to do that for Darien woke up before I had the chance 
to.  He just seemed to look up at the ceiling.  He kept staring up when 
I whispered his name.
	"D-Darien?"  He turned his head to me but didn't say anything.  
His eyes were emotionless and he looked as if he was in some sort of 
trance.  I whispered his name again, but this time louder.  He still 
didn't say anything.  He kept staring at me.  It was scary.  Then, I 
felt very afraid.  He didn't do anything and he didn't blink at all.  
I remembered a movie where a girl was in a hospital and her eyes were 
open and she didn't do anything.  She was like that for several hours 
when the doctors realized she was already dead.  Then, I knew that that 
must be why Darien was doing this.  But I didn't believe myself.  I 
reached over to him and shook him by his shoulders.  As I did that, 
tears streamed down my face and I cried him name.  He still didn't stir.  
I shook him harder, with all the force I had and yelled his name.  It 
was no use.  He stayed in his hypnotic state.  I cried.

*Author's POV*

	
	Serena cried her heart out.  But then, one of her teardrops 
landed on Darien's cheek and rolled down to his chin.  Another tear 
did the same thing.  Serena buried her face in Darien's neck and 
continued to cry.  Suddenly, she felt a hand in her hair, stroking it 
softly.  She was shocked.  She gasped and sat up in her seat.  Looking 
at her was Darien, alive and smiling.

*Serena's POV*


	It was a miracle.  He was alive!  I was so happy.  I tried to 
hug him but it didn't turn out very well, since he was lying down.
	"Humph, you never thought you would be this glad to see me, 
hmm?  Hey, I'm not dead or anything, Meatball Head.  You can let go of 
me now," he chuckled.  I guess I was hugging him too tight.  I let go 
and smiled.
	"You had me worried to death, you conceited jerk.  If you died, 
I would be dead too, you know." I answered.
	"Oh, so now it's conceited jerk?  Whatever happened to moron, 
dimwitted human and all those other insults?" he asked.
	"I got tired of them, Mr. CJ.  AND DON'T CALL ME MEATBALL HEAD!" 
I yelled.
	"Okay, fine.  Whatever you say, Meatball Brains." He said.
	"Well look, if you're going to insult me all day, then I 
shouldn't have to stay here to hear them.  I'll just leave right now." 
I threatened and got up to go.
	"No wait.  Don't go.  I was just joking.  Please stay." He said 
while giving me the puppy face look.  I laughed.  He looked so innocent
and goofy!
	"I'd stay but I really have to go.  You need your rest and I'm 
expected back at my room.  I'll come back later." I said.
	"I'll be waiting." He replied with a mischievous grin on his 
face.  I walked to the door but I was half there when I felt extremely 
dizzy.  Everything was spinning round and round.
	"D-Darien?  W-Why is the room spinning?  It's making me 
d-dizzy." I said while desperately trying not to fall.
	"The room isn't spinning, Serena.  Are you okay?" was the last 
thing I heard when I couldn't see and hit the floor.  Everything went 
black.

(Emergency Room of Tokyo General)
*Serena's POV*


	When I woke up, everything was pitch black and dark.  It must 
have been night.  "Darien?  Dr. Samato?  Anyone?" I said into the dark 
air.
	Something grabbed my hands and I screamed.  "Relax, Serena.  
It's only me." A voice said.
	I recognized that voice.  "D-Darien?"
	"Yeah, it's me.  Are you feeling okay?" he asked.
	That was when I realized that my head was throbbing.  "My head 
really hurts.  Where is everyone?  Is it nighttime already?  Why didn't 
you turn on a light?" I asked.
	"Serena the light is on.  Can't you see it?  Can you see me?" 
he asked.
	"N-No.  I can't see you or the light.  What's going on?  Are 
you playing a joke on me?" I asked nervously.
	"Serena, open your eyes.  Open them wide." He ordered.  I 
opened them as far as I could.  I still didn't see anything except 
black.  I grasped his hands tighter.
	"They're open, Darien.  They're open as far as they can be 
opened.  D-Darien I can't see"
