Serena Matsuki, cousin to Takoto Matsuki, sighs as she looks up at the moon, it wasn't like her boyfriend to actually be late, " Serena, I am so sorry, Jaarin apparently needed my help desperately. "
Serena turns to look at Henry Wong, he had grown significantly since he was twelve, he was just shy of six feet at sixteen, he still wore his blue hair the same way, he now wore orange wrist bands, a green t-shirt with gray capris and green and white shoes. He still carried his sunglasses with him wherever he went along with his green and white D-Arc. Only Henry knew that Serena was a tamer as well with a lavender and white D-Arc. Serena currently had on black skinny jeans, a lavender t-shirt, her blonde hair was braided with a lavender ribbon intertwined within it, she wore black upturned crescent moon earrings with a matching necklace, a gift from Henry on her last birthday. On her left wrist was a wrist watch with a black leather band. Only her eyes gave her away as Takato's cousin, the same light red as his. Serena was just shy of 5'8" at sixteen.
It was after the battle with Locomon that she had come to live in Shinjuku, before that she had been in Nagano. Henry had gotten a glimpse of her partner Falcomon the one day and had confronted her. It was then that she told him what had been going on in Nagano while he had been helping to deal with the Shinjuku situation, while he was dealing with Deva and the D-Reaper she had been alone and dealing with what everyone knew as the Four Dark Masters. Henry had been appalled that she had been left alone to deal with that, her and Falcomon. " Am I going to have to go and have a chat with your older sister again? "
Henry winces at this, Jaarin and Serena got along about as well as cats and dogs, to use the tired cliché. Hell, Rika Nonaka got along with Kazu Shioda better than his older sister and girlfriend got along. " Come on, because Jaarin held me up so long my parents extended my curfew by two hours. We can still make the most of the night. "
Serena smiles at this and allows Henry to pull her along, their partners were following just out of sight, just in case something went wrong, like a rogue digimon attack. " Serena, why are you so fascinated with the moon? " Henry asks.
Internally Serena freezes, he just had to ask that question, didn't he? The one question she really didn't want to answer. " Let me ask you a question in return before I answer, what do you know of the Legend of the Silver Millennium, Henry? "
The half-Chinese, half-Japanese teen blinks at this question from his girlfriend, he didn't see what one had to do…his gray eyes widen, " Don't tell me you're, but how…? "
Serena smiles at this, Henry always was good at making connections and intuitive leaps, " Did you read about Sailor Moon's final battle? "
" I did, but what does… that battle ultimately killed her, didn't it? "
Serena sighs, " Not quite, what happened was so damn stupid. My body was too weak after that battle, there was a left over youma after the Starlights and Kakyu-hime left, transforming again so soon killed me. However, Amaterasu was not pleased with this, I had risked everything and ultimately died four times to save Japan so she granted me a new life, one where she hoped I could be much happier. I have to admit I was pretty miserable until I met you, Falcomon helped but when your parents just act like you don't even exist, it hurts. "
" They just shipped you off to Shinjuku then? " Henry asks.
" Hey, Aunt Yoshie and Uncle Takehiro rock, they care about me, hell, they treat me like I'm their own daughter. It's kinda nice to have that. "
" Won't they worry about you being out this late? "
" No, they said as long as I have Falcomon with me I can stay out late, just so long as I'm home before dawn. " Serena replies.
Henry smiles at this, " You'll be telling me more about what you just revealed later, right now, it's time to have some fun. "
What no one realized, including his fellow Tamers was that Henry Wong did in fact have a wild side. This was apparent whenever he took her to a Teen Club for a date. Serena laughs as he spins her around on the dance floor, a warning glare kept all other males away from her, though she warned other females away from him as well. Both are startled when the music for the Tango starts. Henry smirks challengingly and Serena quirks an eyebrow at him, so he wanted to Tango, huh? At the end of the dance Henry pulls her into a sizzling kiss, and Serena found herself hard pressed to keep up.
Never before in any other lifetime had any male come close to making her feel what Henry did with just one hot kiss. His hands had skimmed down her sides and into the back pockets of her skinny jeans and for the life of her she just couldn't even begin to care. This side of Henry rarely came out, he was usually so cautious. As Henry breaks the kiss he catches a glimpse at the time on her watch and sighs, " As much as I'd like to stay here longer I need to get you home and get home myself. "
Serena nearly groaned out her frustration, she hated her Lunarian physiology right now. Never before had she had to worry about this problem, being too turned on, " Little things about Lunarian females, Henry, you heat one up too much, then you have to finish what you started. "
Henry looks at her, " Why? "
" Because Lunarian females don't have a damn cold shower, we stay in a certain state, highly annoying actually. "
Gray eyes meet her red ones and can see the truth, the slight flush in her skin had yet to recede, and he could actually feel her pulse racing, when it should have calmed somewhat by now. " Anything else I need to know? "
Serena glares at him and the gray eyed teen gets the message, he pulls her into the dark corner they usually made out in and where he had gotten to second base with her for the first time, looked like he'd be hitting second base again tonight. By the time they emerge from their corner Serena has an impressive hickey on the left side of her neck and Henry was having to fight down his own hormones which were screaming at him to claim her already. Serena drags him to a private booth, " Oh boy, this is when you answer my question, huh? "
Serena smiles at this, " No need to worry quite so much. " With that said she tells him about a Lunarian's two ways of conception and the steps she had taken to prevent the one, which only needed a bond of true love for a child to be conceived. " Okay, wow, here's hoping destiny doesn't throw us a curveball. I'd hate to have to try and explain this to my parents. " Henry murmurs.
Henry knew what she did, that they had gotten lucky enough to find each other so soon, well, she'd had to go through two lifetimes to find him, but still at sixteen they damn well knew they were meant for each other. Once Henry gets home he lays on his bed and thinks about what he had just learned about his girlfriend. He just hoped that her past didn't catch up with her, because he didn't think she could handle that right now.
