A/N: Hello, everyone! Welcome to the next installment of Twilight and Sailor Moon. This installment follows 'New Moon' closely with Sailor Moon elements. Hope you guys enjoy! Copyright infringement is NOT intended.

I'm never really the type to celebrate birthdays. They are nothing but excuses to cause commotions. Alice, of course, wants everyone to celebrate my physical age, even though they all know I'm over 900 years old and you can never really win against her. So I figure I might as well humor her and go ahead with this. If I was back in Tokyo, the girls would be throwing me a birthday party as well so I guess it's really a no-win situation. Plus, I love Alice, just as much as I love the girls back home in Japan so it's the least I can do.

"You're not excited." Edward says. "It's your birthday."

"I'm not really the type to celebrate my birthday." I say.

School is back in session after a long summer. I had gone home to Japan for awhile and dished on my new, un-dead boyfriend. Somehow, Raye managed to get most of the Scouts to support my relationship with him. Usagi has long since supported it. Mina, a.k.a Sailor Venus, had long suspected a pair bonding had taken shape but never suspected it would be with a vampire. To be fair, there had been a time where she had tried to date two guys at the same time, who later turned out to be enemies.

"But they weren't un-dead." She said to me.

"True."

Everyone at school is no longer surprised that Edward and I are together. It's commonplace for us to be together everywhere we go. A lot of relationships have changed over the summer, like Mike and Jessica, for example. They had broken up and are now in that awkward, just-friends stage at the moment. Angela and her relationship with this guy called Ben seems to be very strong. I'm not as well-versed as Venus might be in pair bondings but their bonding is very bright, which is a very good sign. Everyone else just sat away from us on one end of our table, now that the older Cullens have graduated from school They were the intimidating ones and now that they are gone, everyone has started to sit at the same table Edward, Alice, and I sit at.

The afternoon comes and goes as it always does and soon enough, I'm on my way home to watch some Romeo and Juliet for an English assignment. Edward, from what I can see, has very little patience with Romeo. He goes on to explain how Romeo is in love with Rosaline but goes on to kill Juliet's cousin...yada, yada, yada. I tune him out but he easily recaptures my attention with his own little performance. I can never get enough of his sweet, silky voice.

"There's one thing that I do envy about Romeo."

"That he has a very attractive female?"

"No. I'm speaking about the ease of suicide. Humans have it so easy."

"What...the...fuck? Edward Cullen..."

"Let me finish. The thought of suicide...it was something I had to think about."

He explains to me that Carlisle had once tried to end his own existence after he had been changed. He had tried various means but failed numerous times. I'm baffled. I'm not sure what he means by he had to think about it. I look at Edward and he continues to say that while he had hoped to find me alive, he was also creating a contingency plan if he didn't. A contingency plan?

"I'm not going to live with out you, Sakura-chan." Edward says quietly. "If you had died, I would have found a way to join you in the other world."

Excuse me? He seems to have forgotten that my soul is eternal. If I die, I can still be reborn as Adachi Sakura. I have not told him that I would be without my memories of him and the rest of the Cullen family. Now, I'm glad that I haven't told him about it. It would just give him another idea to make an attempt to stay away from me. Sure, I'll be happy to respect his wishes but if we are truly meant to be together, fate will find a way to bring him back to me and I to him.

"I was thinking of a way to provoking the Volturi into ending me."

"Volturi?"

Edward nods. He explains to me that they are considered to be the closest thing to a royal family. He says it's kind of a warped and very twisted version of Crystal Tokyo. They rule with very firm hands and police the vampire world. Carlisle had apparently stayed with them for a time before coming to America to settle. I had seen some pictures of his early history in his personal office on that first day and saw three figures who stood out to me the most-the ones Edward called Marcus, Caius, and Aro. He hadn't referred to them as the Volturi then.

"You never irritate them, unless you have a death wish."

"Where the hell do you get off, Cullen? Have you forgotten that I can come back from the dead?"

"No, I haven't."

"I think you have. I have stated that even if I do die, I come back. My soul is eternal. As long as the world needs me, I'll be back."

"The world...meaning me?" Edward asks, playfully.

"You know what I mean...but yes, you."

"Wow! This is beyond beautiful!"

We come upon the familiar home hidden deep in the woods. There are Japanese lanterns about the place, along with roses and...cherry blossoms? I ask Edward where his family had acquired them and he replied that they got them from Washington D.C. Washington D.C have a Cherry Blossom festival in the spring and they somehow manage to snag some for my birthday. They remind me so much of home that I hug my golden boy tightly.

"Your name means 'Cherry Blossom' after all," Edward says. "It's only fitting."

The house is beautifully decorated. There are roses everywhere, along with some Orchids and Cherry Blossom petals everywhere. It is so fragrant that I feel like I have stepped into paradise. As soon as Alice steps forward to wish me a happy birthday, I pounce on her with a hug. Her laugh is just musical as she jokes about how she's supposed to be the one to jump on me. Everyone greets me warmly. Rosalie is just Rosalie though she's not giving me her typical glare at me for a change.

"We tried to keep her under control." Carlisle says with a grin.

"Time to open presents." Alice announces.

My first present is of a moonstone pendant. The chain is silver and the moonstone is glittering brightly with rainbow color. Edward had bought it for me during one of his weekend 'camping' trips. I'm about to open my next present when I managed to get myself a paper cut and that's when everything goes straight to hell.
