Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Remember Me ❯ The aftermath ( Chapter 6 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or any of its characters (Gosh, I’ve said this six times already). Anyway, like I said before, I really didn’t like where chapter 5 ended, but I didn’t want to keep you guys waiting, so I put up what I had at the time. See! See how nice I am?! LoL! Thanks to all who reviewed!!

Before Griever had a chance to go after the pair, he heard the irritating voice again, “Leave them, I’ve got what I wanted, for now. Except, bring the human in front of you. I have a plan, one in which he will be of great assistance.”

Griever looked down at the man still lying on the floor. He walked toward him, and before he could stand up, Griever grabbed him by the collar.

Daniel struggled to retrieve himself from the monster’s grip, but it was useless. Before he had a chance to yell for aid, he was knocked unconscious.

Tuxedo Mask finally landed on the roof of his apartment building, being thankful that the enemy hadn’t followed them. He looked down at the unconscious Sailor Moon in his arms. Unknowingly, a tear ran down his cheek.

When at last he got inside his apartment, he set Sailor Moon down on his bed, not caring in the least for the sheets now being stained with her blood. He quickly left to find gauzes, which he admits to using after a tough battle. He also retrieved a couple of ointments from the cupboard, and filled up a container with warm water.

As soon as he was set, he began cleaning off the blood from her visible wounds with the warm water. While doing this, he couldn’t help but think to himself that ever since her accident, he hadn’t had that recurring nightmare of her dying. ‘Is this what I was afraid of?’ he asked himself, ‘But if it is, then my dream was lying to me. She didn’t die, she only forgot me.’ He looked up at her slightly scraped face and looked at it for a moment, he began cleaning the blood from her lips, when at last, he couldn’t help it anymore, he leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers, receiving gladly the taste of her blood. What happened next surprised him, she opened her eyes and stared right into his, letting out a slight gasp. He quickly took this as his cue to retrieve and apologize, “I’m sorry.”

At first, Sailor Moon didn’t know who had kissed her, but once he moved back she was astound.
“Darien?” she said alarmed.
For a sudden moment, he thought she had remembered him, but he quickly recalled himself removing his mask.
“I was…I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you,” he said immediately.
She looked at him a bit apprehensive, but when she looked into his eyes and saw honesty, respect, and something else she couldn‘t quite figure out, she let it drop, for now. She had remembered what had happened earlier. She suddenly lifted her upper body, “Where are Daniel and the scouts?!”, but fell back when pain rapidly came to her.
“Stay down, I haven’t tended to your wounds yet!” Darien exclaimed.
Sailor Moon looked down at herself, her outfit was stained so much with her blood, she could’ve sworn it had been red to begin with.
“Please,” Darien began, making Sailor Moon look up at him, “Let me tend to you wounds. I can assure you I’m studying to become a doctor, and I’m quite capable of taking care of these types of injuries at this point,” he tried to persuade her, “Trust me.”
For Sailor Moon, she saw no other choice. If she was going to heal properly, she was going to need help.
“Alright,” she answered.
“I think we should check the one in your abdomen first,” he declared, knowing that that exact wound was the cause for all the blood on her outfit.
She gently touched her abdomen, remembering the sudden impact that had pushed her hard on the ground.
Except, she was going to have to change back if he was to tend to it.
“I…,” she began.
“Don’t worry, I can just cut through the fabric,” he said looking straight at her for disapproval.
She looked back at him with intense focus, but figured it was better for him to cut through her outfit, than revealing who she really was to him, “It’s fine.”
He reached into a drawer next to her and took out a pair of scissors. Before he actually cut through the fabric, he kept his glance at her abdomen trying to calm himself, not of not being able to keep his word, but for the fact that he was about to see and feel her bare soft skin against his hands. He finally made the cut around her, making a three inch cut by the edges, making it easier to flip up. When he did so, it only caused him pain, ‘How could the one I love be caused such pain?’ At last, he began applying an ointment which would make it heal faster without leaving much of a scar.
While he applied the gauze around her abdomen, she couldn‘t help but ask, “Do you know where the scouts are? Is Daniel alright?”
He had to admit that her last question pained him. He couldn’t help but think that she should be asking about him not Daniel.
“I’m sorry,” he began, now looking straight at her, “I went to search for them. But, when I got to the temple, there was a complete disaster everywhere I looked, as if a battle had taken place only minutes before. Yet, I didn’t find them anywhere,” he turned, not daring to see the pained expression on her face.
“And Daniel? Is he alright? The last thing I remember, was pushing him out of the way. And then, I don’t know if he ran to safety.”
“I’m sure he’s alright,” he still wasn’t facing her, which made it easier to hide his hurt expression from her.

To be continued…
