I don' t own Sailor Moon or any of the characters


"I can't believe daddy got a new job somewhere else. I don't want to move Darien. I want to stay here with you." A young blonde cried as she clung to her best friend. Being older and very attached to the young girl, Darien held her tight and let a single tear fall from his eye. The sixteen-year-old boy didn't want to loose her either; though she was a mere ten years of age he loved her, loved her more than she could understand. With his black hair falling lightly over his watering blue eyes he spoke softly to her, trying to make her understand that he would always be there for her.

"It's okay Serena. I'm only a phone call away, and it's not like you can't come and visit me… It'll just be awhile." His voice didn't falter making him seem strong to her, but he knew the truth and it hurt him so much. Serena's father was a prominent businessman, a man who didn't want his very young daughter fraternizing with an older boy… a boy six years her elder to be exact. "I think it's time for you to go Serena." Darien's sad voice said as his eyes fell to her impatient parents. "I'll see you sooner than you think." She pulled away slowly then looked over her shoulder to her parents.

"I know that I'm too young to say it but still. I love you Darien, I'll be back one day and we can be together." She smiled and left him standing there with a warm sensation where her small figure had stood. As they drove by her sad, tear streaked face peered out from behind the glass barrier that separated the two of them. Oh how he hated to see her so sad; hated her father for taking her; hated the world for victimizing him. Being brave, he stood, alone, waving to the only person he cared about. Darien could feel his heart filling with hatred, he could feel it becoming numb, but most of all, he felt nothing. Empty, like the house that sat so silent behind him, casting it's cold shadow over the gray pavement.

'I show you who's not worthy of her.' He thought bitterly to himself as he remember Ken Tsukino's words. Words that had been sharp and cutting but words nonetheless.
