Chapter Nine

; It was a nice sunny day.

It was wonderful Saturday, that wasn't too hot or cold, the day was just perfect, especially for lying in the grass and dozing after eating one's fill of roasted chicken sandwiches, grilled potato salad, cheese, and fresh fruit.

; Ami and Bunny had come to the park for a picnic. Lunch was catered of course since nether had the will or desire to cook much less learn how. Both were lying on their checkered blue and white blanket, lightly dozing when their peace was shattered by sound of boisterous yelling and someone stumbling into their space.

; Whoever it was tripped over their basket and fell right on their blanket, scaring the already startled girls to death.

; The mop of blond hair moved, a Frisbee just a shade out reach of his right hand. Bunny screamed as Ami shoved her best friend and Princess behind her and quickly grabbed up a pairing knife ready to slash the person if they so much as breathed in their direction.

; Bunny felt a hot breath on the back of her neck. She turned around slightly to see who was behind her and she screamed again. Before Ami could turn around to see what was the matter, Bunny had taken off towards the closest large tree, gibbering in blind terror. Ami wondered what could have been so terrifying that it would have sent Bunny off. She whipped around and came face to face with a monster. Before a rational though could form, Ami, too, jumped up, started screaming wildly as she raced for the same tree.

Bunny was running a mile a minute, trying to get away, Ami managed to catch her and the horrid, nightmarish creature was still behind them-

; "Erebus," Endy called back his massive wolfhound.

; The dog stopped circling the tree the girls had jumped into and with a happy thump of his tail, he lopped back to his master.

; Endy scratched the dog's black head as he regarded the two girls in the tree with a slightly amused grinned on his face.

;

; Ami assessed the situation once her heart had come out of her throat. When she figured that it was safe, she swung down from the branch she had scampered into, landing gracefully on her feet. Bunny followed Ami's lead, easily slipping from the branches until she was hang on the lowest one, but it was still to high for her to come down from easily.

; "Ami," she called, "Help me?"

; Before Ami could move, Endy was there. He reached up, gently taking Bunny by the legs and easily brought her down until they were eye level. Bunny's breath caught as she came in contact with a pair of the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. Slowly, she let her eyes wondered over his entire face, the regal brow, the classical features, a beautifully shaped mouth that was stretched into a lopsided grin, and a very strong jawline that made her want to plant a thousand little kisses on-A slight blush stained her features as she realized were her thoughts were headed.

; "Could you put her down please?" Ami's sweet voice broke through their thoughts. If he so much as tried anything funny with her Princess he was going to find his lower regions frozen and his precious parts smashed to bits.

; Of course Endy really didn't want to let her go, more than anything, he wanted to pull his little Princess close and keep her with him forever. Alas, that was not to be, although she blushing an interesting shade of rosé, Bunny was also struggling slightly against him, a silent indicator that wanted to be set down. With great reluctance, Endy sat Bunny on her feet.

; Before he could blink, Ami had pulled Bunny away from him and stood slightly before her as if she wanted to protect Bunny from him. He was amused by her actions, the Senshi were always a tad bit over protective of their Princess, especially Athena Diana. But he did not begrudge her; they were strangers in this lifetime and had yet met.

; Bunny was still staring at him and she was worrying the hell out of her lower lip chewing on it. He seemed familiar to her, but for the life of her, Bunny could not place him. He was beautiful, if a man could be called that, but there was something about him that just seemed a tad bit off, not exactly human, but he was most defiantly of this earth.

; Ami moved Bunny further behind her and gave her unknown rescuer her most Imperial glare, knowing it to freeze some in their tracks. But this did not seem fazed this strange man.

; "Who are you?" She demanded crisply.

; "Darien Shields," he said offering his right hand in greeting. A Western gesture, but Ami did not move to take it neither did Bunny.

; Endy blew out a breath as he rolled his eyes as he tried another tactic, "What are your name, ladies?"

; Bunny opened her mouth, but Ami moved them a step back. "Is that your dog?"

; "Yes, but-" He now he was getting angry. What did Athena think she was doing?

; Bunny wanted to know the same thing, still she trusted Ami's judgment, and for the moment, she would follow her lead.

; Ami looked away from him and then back to their picnic area. Four guys were standing there now, and one of them, the mop she surmised, had the audacity to rummage through their picnic basket. She tapped Bunny's waist and knew within the second that her friend had taken in the sight, because the next moment she running towards the willow tree, screaming something about thieves and moochers and how she was going to do horrible things to their anatomy if they not get away from her food right now.

; Endy had watched her run off his expression was puzzled. His Sere would have never threatened bodily harm over food. What the hell?

; Ami had taken this opportunity to seize the stranger up, committing everything she could gather from him to memory. Once she had all the information she could gather, she was off as well. Leaving him to stand there for a moment, before he realized that he was alone.

; Under the willow tree, Bunny had chased the others off and was in the process of gathering their things. Ami came back and finished helping her. Bunny glanced in her friend's direction, her unspoken question had no answer. Ami stuffed the blanket in her bag swung it on to her back, grabbed their basket in one hand, and grabbed Bunny's free hand with the other as they hurried out of the park and away from the strangers.
