She stood at the front door. Staring at the now empty apartment, looking at its bare walls and flooring. Her hand clench her purse straps tightly. Tears began to fall down her face. Was this right or wrong? She couldn't answer herself. She couldn't even guess. Though at the choices she she made prior to that night. Prior to choosing to be happy and in love. The consequences hit her like bricks and for the fear of hurting someone she cares for ...made her do what she's doing.

"Mommy. Are you ready?"

Quickly she wiped her face and smiled. "Si. We'll be back and in a new place." When she said that lie, her child smile and nodded. This wasn't temporary. Sooner or later she would be forgotten. As if she never existed. It would hurt, yes. But then that will fade. Then nothing. She closed the door and walked down the stairs. Waiting for her was a tall man with a smile. She didn't smile.

"Oh papa, this is gonna be fun. Just for a couple . And thank you for when we come to Japan, we get a new and bigger place!"

"...Evelyn..."

"Anyway, let's go before we miss our flight. We don't want nana upset do we?" She watched as Evelyn nodded and rush to the car. When she got in the man gave her an odd look. "Don't Javier...just dont."

"Why are you lying to her? Neiva...this isn't like you...and you're a pretty crazy lady. Why didn't you tell her we are moving together? "

"..." Neiva sighed. "You're our only way back. Besides we will come back...I just don't know when." She said in a low tone before going to car. Javier watched but shook his uneasy feeling away. He was just glad to have his daughter around for more than a few hours.

By the time nightfall came, their plane left Japan. Neiva watched the land get smaller and smaller. Those tears didn't stop. She rested her forehead on the window and mouthed : I'm so sorry...Haruka.

Five Years Later

°•°•°•°

"That's not correct, Chi. You need to carry the one-" She pushed her glasses up and looked at her little sister drawing bunnies on her math homework. "Chi!"

ChibiUsa, known as Chi to her big sister, looked at her boredly. " I'm not smart like you. I'm still doing elementary school. I'm not doing college level things, Yuki." ChibiUsa whined.

Both girls sat in the living room of Yuki's home, ten years old. ChibiUsa had her signature hair style like her mother's. Yuki has wavy curls of black hair that reached her mid back. She wore circular glasses that made her blue eyes bigger and stand out. ChibiUsa always loved her sister's blue eyes. They reminded her of her dad's eyes. They weren't really sisters, the two grew up together. Their mom's friends. There wasn't a moment they weren't besides each other.

ChibiUsa loved YukI and Yuki loved ChibiUsa.

"I'm not that smart, Chi, I just study. Which is what you should be doing." She said. "Besides it's not college, it's only high school..." she added before stating at ChibiUsa.

ChibiUsa then smiled. "Or..." she began.

"...no..."

"Orrrrr..."

"Chi, no...not this." Yuki said, she was gonna stand by her words.

ChibiUsa crawled over and hugged her sister. "ORRRRR!" She had a huge smile.

"Errr...fine! But only for-"

"Yay!"

"An...hour..." Yuki finished but she knew ChibiUsa didn't care because she tossed her homework aside and rushed outside. Yuki neatly cleaned up their books and paperwork as she headed out back she heard the front door open. "Mom?" She looked back but didn't see anyone, not even her mother, she had an odd feeling run down her back though Yuki shrugged it off and followed ChibiUsa. "Hey Chi! Wait up!"


Auhoress Notes:

Hahaha...ahhhhhhh...yeah. I wasn't trying to like delay the sequel and/or stand alone ish story. I just didn't have an idea on what to do...I believe I have something but not so sure. Sorry it's short but it's just an intro.

Also this takes place after 'Darkest Before the Moonlight'. But if no one's forgotten Neiva and co. I just wrote a small sneek of her. But in my mind this is suppose to be like ...I dunno...typical kinda Sailor moon but still having like drama or real life issues. Also I suppose you can consider it an AUish fic because I know ChibiUsa is suppose to be like what...900...years old but I'm like how the heck do I write a 900 year gap...so fuck...it...yeah. or just go with the flow.

Hope it's interesting enough~~

Also I might change the title. ...I don't know...I think the meaning of the idiom actually sums up this whole story, actually.

Also also...is anyone curious as to whose point of view this will be from? GUESSES? NO. ...okay

..till next time
