Hey everyone! J-Walker here…this is my first Sailor Moon fanfic so please review!!! It may not seem clear in this chapter yet…but this is a Seiya/Serena combo…I don't think Seiya had an English name so I'm just sticking to his Japanese one…yes that's right I said 'his' in other words in my story…Seiya is a guy all the way through. It's just easier and well…more normal. So yeah…

Oh and by the way…Luna is in the story…let's just say for now she's at Mina's house with Artemis…ok?

Enjoy! And please review!!! ARIGATO! =^_^=

'Darien?' I was watching him from my side of the table at the ice-cream parlour. I smiled despite myself; he looked cool as usual with his black glossy hair swept to the side. He had a partially tight black shirt on which complimented his figure and muscles, a navy blue jacket over it and black jeans to finish off the style. 'Darien!' He looked up startled…he was staring into the distance again. 'Serena? What's wrong?' My head tilted to the side as I tried to look at him from a different angle, 'Mmm? Nothing…just, where were you? What are you thinking about?' He paused searching my eyes, took a breath and answered, 'Serena…I…I'm going to study overseas, my flight leaves tomorrow. I was thinking about how you'd react to my question.' I stared at him too shocked to notice my ice-cream was dripping…Leaving Japan? To study? 'Darien…why didn't you tell me sooner? Is that why this past week we've been more…like a couple? Why the day before? What about the future? What about Rini and crystal Tokyo?' I knew I was freaking out but…can you blame me? I started to cry, silent tears. I couldn't stop staring; he had a pained expression on his face. I furiously tried to wipe away the stray tears and put on a smile for him. 'Serena, please listen to me. I have thought about the future, please try to understand. I love you, Meatball head! Don't you believe me? It's not forever…'

I knew I was going to break down again at any moment and I had to be quick. 'What question?' I was quiet but he still heard, he looked downwards, avoiding eye contact. 'Will you…can you wait for me?' I froze and looked at him open mouthed, he looked up and gazed into the blue of my eyes…searching, hoping, and waiting for a reply. I looked away, unable to gaze at him any longer. 'I'm sorry Darien; I'll have to think about it. This was…too sudden! I love you; we've been through so much these past years but Darien! You have to understand things could change, we could meet new people.' I looked into his eyes, desperately, 'King Edmond once told us there would be times things would try to separate us but Darien…he never said we would try to sperate each other. If…if we never knew of our future would we still be compelled to stay together?'

He grew silent at that, 'You've thought about this haven't you?' I looked away sadly, 'It came to mind before.' He got up to pay the owner and signalled me to follow him. 'Serena, if you didn't know of our future would you still have wanted to be with me?' I looked at him from the corner of my eye watching his reaction, 'Darien it's not just the future, it's our past as well. If we both forgot about our past and never heard of our future…would we…be together? Would our present lives still be intertwined?' He looked straight ahead, 'I wonder…' I stopped at our destination. We'd been walking in an awkward silence for 15 minutes and I hadn't noticed where we were headed. I gasped as I took in the sight and started to sob. 'Rini…oh Darien…what about Rini!' He smiled grimly at me, 'She's in our future, and we're meant to forget her as well aren't we?'

I stared at him shocked, tears clouding my vision. 'What do we do?' He let out a sigh and walked till he was facing me. 'Serena, I was going to propose to you today, but now…I never had a doubt about marrying you till now…I don't want to look back in the future and think, did we marry because it was our destiny or because we actually loved each other?' I reached out for his hands and smiled at him, 'Darien I'm entering High school soon and you've been in college for a while now. You're finally sure of what you want to do with your life, or maybe it's your first time admitting to anyone else what you want to do.' He looked startled by me confidence, 'Darien…I've been holding you back for so long now, and not just in your studies. We both know that you'll find someone else. You don't need to feel bad about me Darien. I mean, realistically no girl my age could have a boyfriend who's in college.' I paused and started to laugh, 'Realistically no girl my age could be a princess of the moon!' He held me then and my laughter turned to silent sobs.

'Serena, what are you saying? Do you really think that I can leave you that easily? Don't be brave for me Serena, you're brave enough in battle.' I looked up at him and smiled softly, 'I think you should go. I think that we should…break our chains to each other. Darien, we should have a right to live out our own lives and future.' He grasped my face wiping away the tears falling down my cheek. 'Serena…why?' I nearly broke down again at his fearful, quiet question but held together and broke the contact, 'To try. To see what would really happen. Darien…I'm sorry, please forgive me!'

I ran, I ran like I had never run before…and that was fast. I was no athlete but adrenaline kept me going. I didn't look back to see if he followed me, I hoped he didn't. When I reached the doors of my house I ran inside, without a greeting to my mother or brother I legged it to my room and locked the door. That was then that I lost it, all control vanished and I crashed on the bed. I could vaguely hear the phone ringing as I soaked the bed sheets with my tears. I heard the message play…the voice so…heartbreaking, 'Serena? This is very hard but I've decided to leave,' I cried harder, 'You said to live our lives, so this is goodbye. I will always love you meatball head whether it was in the past, present or in the future… always.' Then the phone went dead…
