Author's Note:I hope you all understand where the story is at cause its very easy to follow. Chapter 4....      Her dress was completely torn apart so she took a pair of his pants and shirt, slipping them on. Once done, she looked back at him one last time, then left the room, going from one dark corner to the next, running out of the palace and past the gates. She raced through the empty until she reached the forest where she had left her gown. She dug it up, then decided against putting it on since it was all dirty.      She closed her eyes and concentrated, teleporting off of earth and back to the moon, opening her eyes to meet the relieved faces of the senshi.      "Oh thank God."Raye sighed.      "Serena, what are you wearing?"Lita asked, all four moving forward to stare at her clothes.      She grinned at them."You guys like it? I took it from the King's closet!"      "You what?!"the four shouted.      "You heard me."she looked down at herself, turning from side to side."Looks good huh?"      "What were you doing in the palace? We told you to stay away from it!"Raye screamed at her, causing her to wince."Darien could have see you!!"      "So what?!"Serena shouted back.      "Wait a sec....did he see you?"Mina asked slowly.      She bit her lip. These were her best friends, she could never lie to them.      "Yes, he did.....but he didn't recognize me!"she quickly reassured."He thought I was just some peasant."      They all sighed in relief, but Raye noticed a slight blush to Serena's face and the way she was avoiding all of there eyes."Spill it meatball brains."      Serena didn't even blink."Spill what?"      "Whatever it is your not telling us. Like why your hair is so messed up, or who gave you those marks on your necks."Raye pointed out.      Serena smoothed her hair down, then rubbed at her neck."Gee, I don't know. Thats so wierd."      They all moved closer and sniffed at her."You smell strange....like someone else."Amy remarked.      "Your hairs messed up, you have marks on your neck, your wearing the Kings clothes, and you smell like someone else."Raye counted each on her fingers.      "And she's sore. Did you guys notince the way she winced?"Mina added."Did you ride a horse when you were down there?"      Serena turned very, very red at this."Um....not exactly."      "And she's sore....."Raye trailed off, all four girls staring at her, then there eyes all widened at the same time, there mouths opening wide when each gasped with surprise.      "I can explain!!"Serena said desperately."I just went to the palace cause they were having a ball, and I know you guys told me not too, but I couldn't help it, and I went to take one teeny peak at him, but he saw me and followed me and had me taken up to his room and I just thought, why not? no on will know, not even him, and he was so gorgeous and he told me that now he believed in love at first sight and he wanted to marry me, but I couldn't stay because I knew he was probably lying, so I just left!"she said all in one breath, stopping to give them a pitiful look.      "Serena, did you....with the King!!"Lita looked skyward.      "Serena your a virgin!"Raye shouted.      "Not anymore."she put her hands together, pleading with them."Please guys, don't be mad. I mean, I couldn't help myself, and besides, no one besides us will ever know. We'll forget about it."      "I hope its that easy."Mina murmured.      Darien awoke with a smile on his face, peaceful and completely content for the first time in his life. She had given him that and so much more in just a split second. The realization of what love really was and the understanding of why men chose to have only one woman in there life.      "Serena......"he groaned, reaching out and pulling her to him, his hands sinking into the soft plushness of her body."Hhhhmmm....wait....what the?!his eyes snapped open and he sat up to stare down at a pillow next to him, not her."Where's.......what.....SERENA!!!"he jumped out of bed and looked around the room, his fear growing when he saw her torn dress on the floor, his closet open, a shirt and pants missing.      "No......"he quickly dressed and ran out of the room, racing from one room to the next."Serena!!"he shouted over and over, until his four Generals came running down the hall, stopping when he burst out of a room looking crazy."You guys have to help me find her!"      "Darien, calm down."Malachite said slowly."Now, who are you talking about?"      "Serena!"he ran his hand through his hair restlessly."Remember, the girl I had you take up to my rooms last night? She's gone and I can't find her!"      "Oh, her."Malachite glanced at the other three, all smirking at there King."Was she that good?"      "Shutup!!"Darien shouted, shocking them all into open mouthed silence."She's gone! I want you to guys to get all my men! Search the palace and all of earth! She couldn't of gotten far!"      Neflyte frowned."But we don't know what she looks like."      "Malachite will tell you what she looks like. If you find possible suspects bring them to him."he then stalked away.      A full scale search was launched to find her. All of his solgiers, all of the palace help, even the people from the city joined in. No one understand what was going on with there King. He'd gone insane over night about finding a mysterious young girl that, as time passed, ddin't seem to exist.      After two weeks people began to give up and returned to there daily lives. Several girls were brought before Malachite during this time, but none of them were her. She seemed to have disappeared completely, if she had ever existed.      A month after the search had began, Malachite came to Darien in his study, stopping to stare at him for a second. As the hope of ever finding her diminished, Darien had retreated more and more into himself. He no longer flirted with women, never thought of his next conquest, never seemed to laugh either.      "Darien,"Malachite said into the silence,"this search is pointless. We can't find her. We've searched everywhere and she's nowhere to be found. The men are getting extremely frustrated. This is a waste of there time, its a waste of everyone's time. Just give it up."      He had his back to him, looking out the window, a remote look on his face."I think sometimes, what if I just made her up in my mind? What if I just wanted her so bad, I created her to please me, and she was never really real."he said quietly.      "No Darien, don't think like that. I saw her too. I know you didn't make her up and I'm as much baffled that we can't find her as you are."he sighed."Just give it up, please. Forget about her. Go and have Lady Elizabeth as you originally wanted."      "You don't understand, none of you do."Darien turned to him."She was special....I don't know why, but I...I fell in love with her."      "You what?!"Malachite shouted.      "I know its unbelievable, me being the way I am, but I did. It surprised me too." he was quiet, his eys distant, then his expression changed, hardened."Fine. Call off the search."      "Darien, I-"      "Just leave."he turned back to the window.      Malachite nodded, turning and leaving the room.      Serena......why did you leave me..... Stay tuned for Chapter 5!!
