A/N: PLEASE READ this. Okay to get everything understood: Darien knows that he is Tuxedo Mask, but doesn't know who the princess is. He doesn't know who Sailor Moon's identity (Serena)
is. He doesn't know he has a daughter in the future with Serena. Basically, he's clueless.

Serena knows she's Sailor Moon, Princess Serenity, and Neo Queen Serenity in the future in Crystal Tokyo. She knows that she has a daughter (Rini). Her friends, and the sailor scouts probably won't be in this story. Let's just say that they're on a reprieve). Also, Serena knows that Rini is Tux boy's kid too, but she doesn't know Tuxedo Mask's real identity. I'm sorry that's a lot to take in before reading this, but you kinda need to know all this stuff. If you have anymore questions and stuff, then I'll probably do a Q & A thing in the next chapter to clear up stuff.
k's well...

Here goes...

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon so : P to lawyers after me.

Chapter One: My Life

Blood. It was everywhere; consuming her small bathroom with its liquid substance...

Serena reflected back on her life... 'How had it gotten messed up SO much?' Serena thought to herself looking down at her bleeding wrists.

Flashback

Serena was getting ready to go on their big summer camping trip with her parents, Sammy, and Rini. She practically shoved everything that she owned into her medium-sized duffle. Rini and Sammy walked into Serena's room, just as she was trying to get the zipper closed by repeatedly jumping on it.

"Err- Serena," Sammy said, "We're going for a weekend, not a year."

"You little spore," Serena said as Sammy left to help his parents load the car with his stuff.

Rini walked toward Serena whom was now lying on top of her duffle.
"Almost... have it..." Serena said moving the zipper ever so slowly toward the other end of it,
attempting to close it.

"Serena..." Rini said.

Serena pulled the zipper with as much force with her eyes closed.

"Serena," Rini said.

"WHAT?!"

"Zipper's broken," Rini said.

"Stuff it, Twerp!" Serena said and looked down. Rini was right.

Rini laughed, "Stuff it anymore, and the seams'll burst!" Rini said laughing as she walked downstairs.

"WAH!!!! Now what will I do? This is my only suitcase!" Serena cried.

"Actually..." Serena said mischievously. 'Mom's got an extra duffle in her room. Better hurry and get it,' Serena thought tip toeing into her mother's bedroom.

-----------------------------------------------------------------10 Minutes Later---------------------------------------------------------------

"Everyone all set?" Kenji asked.

"Hai!" They replied enthusiastically.

"Okay," Kenji said, "then let's-" and was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.

RING, RING

After a few rings, the answering machine kicked on.

"Irene, it's mom," she said before going into a coughing fit.

Ikuko (Irene) picked up. When she was finished talking, her eyes widened in horror. "We'll be right there," She said and hung up.

Ikuko looked toward her husband Kenji, "Your father and I have to go now. The trip is postponed."

Everyone, even Kenji sighed.

She continued, "Your grandmother is deathly ill and she wanted us to see her. Us as in Kenji and I. Grandma doesn't want you kids to see her like this Serena, Sammy, and Rini. Serena take care of your brother and cousin (A/N: Ikuko doesn't know that Rini isn't really their cousin. Serena does know that Rini is her future daughter, however).

"But Mom-"

"No buts, Serena. We'll see you later. Love you," Ikuko said.

Their parents exchanged their goodbyes and left. Little did they know they'd be gone longer than they expected. Much longer.

----------------------------------------------------------Flashback Over---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Serena staggered up from the bloody mess slowly, albeit her body ached all over. She had no feeling in her arms. Taking hold of the bathroom counter, she tried to steady herself.

"Serena! Why've you been in there so long?" Rini asked. Serena had been in the bathroom for an hour, more or less.

No reply.

Sammy shouted, "I'm coming in!" He kicked the door from the other side, but it refused to open.

Serena took a brief moment to find her voice and said, "I'll be out in a few." Her voice had cracked, but Rini and Sammy didn't seem to notice.

"Okay, well hurry it up and don't drown in there," Sammy said making an assumption that she was taking a bath and left.

'You don't know how much I want to," Serena thought to herself. She stripped herself of the blood-stained clothing she had previously been wearing, and turned the shower on. The water sent a burning sensation through the various cuts on her arms. She knew this was nothing compared to the pain her parents must've felt, and embraced it.

------------------------------------------------------Flashback-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Serena's parents, Ikuko and Kenji, were driving to Ikuko's dieing grandmother's house. Soon, it started to hail.

"Oh dear, I guess it's a good thing we didn't go on the camping trip in this weather," Ikuko said as big chunks of hail came down on to the windshield.

Kenji reached to put the windshield wipers on. They didn't budge. He couldn't pull over because they were on a very narrow road on an area with a steep drop below them. Kenji tried to see through the icy windshield, but to no avail. He stopped because of the lack of visibility, and didn't want to continue on this road, if he couldn't see. Just as he was going to get out to bang on the windshield wipers to get them to work, a van came and knocked the two in their car off the treacherous cliff. Ikuko and Kenji gasped in horror as they fell 200 feet to their death.

------------------------------------------------------Flashback Over------------------------------------------------------------------------

Serena stepped out of the bathroom after scrubbing everywhere with a cleanser and a sponge to remove the blood everywhere. She couldn't let Rini or Sammy see this.

Serena quickly heated up a couple frozen foods in the microwave for Rini and Sammy.

"Dinner's ready you two!" Serena yelled, "I have to go to work now, so Sammy take care of Rini (A/N: Sammy is a little older than Rini). She said and went to her night shift at Dairy Queen and then a few hours later as a cashier at a grocery store nearby. Right after this she would have to study for the big Algebra II test that she had tomorrow.

'Great,' Serena thought as she thought of her schedule for tonight.
"Yay," She said sarcastically, "I get a whole two hours of sleep."

This was her life now.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: Okay, I know nothing much really happened in this first chapter, but it was a way of showing what Serena's 'new life' is like. The flashbacks serve as to learn what happened, so bear with them if you don't like them. They'll go away soon, ;) .
