A/N: Okay...I was watching the show In Plain Sight on USA and got inspired for a story...and here it is...I have the second chapter done and halfway done with the third, but I wanna know what kind of responce I'm going to get from the story before I finish it. It's not going to be super long (at least I don't think it will be) just so you know. I'm sorry if it's confusing...you can always ask me questions via PM or review! I think that's all you need to know before the chapter...hope you like!

New Identity

It was late when Serena and her boyfriend of three months were walking down a path in the park. It was their first date in over a week because of their busy schedules. It was slightly cloudy, so Rubeus suggested they just go for dinner. Serena insisted on a walk, saying that if it did rain, it could be romantic. Her boyfriend hesitated, but agreed. She still couldn't figure out his hesitation, but blamed it on the weather. They were walking contently, a comfortable silence between the two, until Serena felt a rain drop. Soon, that one was followed by more. Serena looked up to Rubeus who just smiled. He was about to say something when the two saw a group come up in front of them.

"Come on Rube, times up." One of the guys said.

Rubeus pushed the girl behind himself. "You said I had until midnight!"

"Well it doesn't look like you're getting anything done. You have 15 minutes." The same male said.

"Exactly! Fifteen minutes is plenty of time!"

The guy pulled out a gun. Serena looked at him in shock, scared of what was going to happen.

"Usagi."

"Well I say time is up." He said firing a warning shot into the air.

"Serena, run!" Rubeus ordered the blonde behind him.

"Rubeus, what's going on?" Serena yelled, tears pouring down her face, mixing with the rain.

"Usagi?"

"Just go!" He said again.

Serena decided to attempt to duck behind a tree to their left.

"Watch the girl. She's got to know something. DON'T let her get away." The first man said. She saw another man approach her, so she began to run faster. That's the last thing she saw before a gunshot sounded in the night and pain filled the blonde's body. She fell to the wet ground as she heard another round go off.

The blonde haired, blue eyed female felt a hand on her shoulder, shaking her out of her thoughts. "Usagi? Are you okay?" An aqua haired woman asked her blonde friend.

Usagi looked up to the woman who came to treat her how a mother treats her daughter. "Gomen nasai, Michelle. I got lost in my thoughts." She said staring out the window at the wet weather. No matter how hard she tried to forget, the memory always haunted her, especially on rainy days like these. She absentmindedly rubbed her arm in the sling it was lying in.

"It's okay. Trista called. She's on her way over." Michelle said looking towards the blonde.

"Arigatou."

She simply nodded before leaving the room.

Usagi didn't move. She just sat there for about ten minutes before there was a knock on her door.

"Come in." She called faintly.

A lady with long green hair walked into the room and closed the door behind her. "Usagi. How are you?" She asked kindly as she took a seat next to the blonde.

"I'm fine, Trista. How are you?"

"I'm fine." She looked to the blonde who was still staring out the window. "But you can't fool me, Usagi."

She finally took her gaze from the window. "What are you talking about?"

"Cut the crap, Serena."

"What are you trying to do Trista? Give it away to the world?"

"We're the only ones here. Amara and Michelle went out for a while." She sighed. "They're worried about you."

"Why?"

"They said you haven't done much. You are really quiet. You've hardly left the house."

"It's hard to adjust." She said. "It's going to take longer than the whole week I've been here. I've lost all my family, my friends; my boyfriend lied to me then was killed! How do you expect me to act right now? Hell, I'm not even the same person I was a month ago!" She screamed, tears running down her cheeks. She stood. "They all think I'm dead! How do you expect me to act fine?" She collapsed to her knees on the floor, sobbing.

The older woman hugged her blonde friend. "I know. I understand it's difficult." She rubbed her back soothingly. "But it will get easier. Get out there. Make yourself some friends. Look." She pulled out a piece of paper. "I pulled some strings and got this for you." She handed the paper to Usagi who stared at it in awe.

"The last time I saw this, it had my old name on it." She said brushing her hand across the current name. "Usagi Serenity Tsukino." She mumbled to herself. "It looks so foreign. So different from Serenity Luna Selene." She said quietly.

"It's for your safety." Trista reminded her gently.

"I know..."

"Anyways, this will allow you to continue to practice medicine here."

The blonde hugged Trista. "Thank you so much."

"I even took the liberty of setting up an interview."

"Really? Thank you so much!"

"Get ready. I'm taking you to lunch. Your interview is in two hours."

"WHAT!?"

"I'll be downstairs. Be ready in five." Trista said as she closed the door.

"Oooooh, I'm so going to get you back." She told the door.

…

"Where are we?" Usagi, who was now dressed in a nice business skirt, white blouse, and matching business blazer over her shoulder, asked as they entered a small café.

"It's a great place to eat. This is the Crown."

"Trista!" A sandy haired male greeted. "How are you today?"

"I'm fine, Andrew. How are you?"

"Good. Good. And who's your friend?" He asked looking to the quiet blonde.

"This is my new friend, Usagi. She just moved here."

Andrew held out his hand. "Nice to meet you, Usagi. I'm Andrew."

"Nice to meet you too." She shook his hand.

"Welcome to my wonderful establishment."

"Yours? You own this place?"

"Been in my family for 30 years."

"That's cool."

"What can I get for you ladies?" He asked leading them to the counter.

"I'll have a burger and soda. What do you want, Usagi? It's on me."

"You don't have to do that, Trista."

"What do you want?"

"I'll take a burger and chocolate milkshake please."

"I'll be right back." He said disappearing into the kitchen.

"So what do you think?" Trista asked turning to the blonde.

"This place is nice."

"I meant Andrew."

"I knew it! You're trying to set me up, aren't you?"

"Trista, what are you planning now?" Andrew asked reappearing with the drinks.

She immediately blushed. "Nothing."

"Uh huh. So what happened to your arm, Usagi?" Andrew asked with curiosity.

She shrugged and winced at the slight pain in her shoulder. "Still a little sore. But I'm clumsy. I fell while packing and cracked my collar bone." She repeated the rehearsed lie. "I should be out of this thing soon."

"That sucks." He chuckled. "Anyways, I must tend to my other customers. Don't scare off Usagi quite yet."

"She's staying with Michelle and Amara." She said blatantly.

"Oh. Then I wish you the best, Usa." He grinned.

"And she's got an interview today at County."

"Who's interviewing her?"

Trista just stared knowingly.

He took Usagi's hands into his own. "Come after your interview. Anything you want is on the house."

Usagi just looked to her green haired friend. "What are you getting me into?"

"Nothing! Let's go before you're late!"

"But we haven't eaten yet!"

"Well then tell Andrew to stop putting ideas in your head. I'm not doing anything to you!"

"I'll determine that after my interview. Though I don't think I could hate you after everything you've done for me."

"So how long will you be staying here, Usa? Is this a temporary home or more permanent?"

Usagi sighed. "More permanent I guess."

"What's wrong? You don't like it here?"

She shook her head. "It's nothing. Still getting used to the town I guess."

"Here." He scribbled something down on a piece of paper. "If you need something, give me a call." He handed her the paper.

"Thanks. I appreciate it, Andy."

He nodded. "Anytime."

\//\\//\\//\

Usagi walked into the entrance of the building and towards the reception desk. "Excuse me."

"Good afternoon." The receptionist grabbed a clip board. "Just fill this out and go wait over there. A nurse will call you in."

"Oh no. I'm not here because I'm sick."

"Then what can I do for you?"

"I have an interview with a Mr. Chiba."

"You're Ms. Tsukino?"

"That's me."

"Okay. Go ahead and wait over there by the chairs. I'll go find Dr. Chiba and let him know of your arrival." She said standing. "I'll be right back."

Usagi went to where the receptionist instructed and waited for what seemed like hours, but in reality it was only 30 minutes.

A tall man with dark raven hair approached her. "Ms. Tsukino?" He asked. He was dressed in light green scrubs with a white doctor coat over them. Usagi stood and walked towards the man nervously. "You're Ms. Tsukino?"

"Yeah."

"Okay…follow me." He said leading her down a hall.

He…looks familiar… She pondered as she stared at the back of his head.

They passed several rooms before he stopped in front of one. He opened the door and motioned for her to walk in first. "Have a seat."

Once the two were settled, and the door shut, Dr. Chiba looked at the girl. "Sorry about that. We had a major trauma come in."

"It's okay. I understand."

"So you're interested in a position here?"

"Yes sir. I've wanted to be a nurse since I was a little girl. I just recently obtained my nursing degree and would like to start. A friend suggested here."

"Okay. Looks like you've visited a hospital recently." He said, humor filling his eyes.

"Yeah."

"What'd you do?"

"Tripped when I was packing. Cracked my collar bone."

"How long ago?"

"Last week. The doctor said I'd be able to take the sling off in the next few days. I just have to get it checked out."

"You want me to?" He asked getting up from his seat.

"Not now. She said to wait until at least Monday."

He nodded and took his seat. He then looked to the paper in front of him. He was about to speak again when there was a knock on his door. "Yes?"

The door opened. "I'm sorry sir, but your sister is on line one. She said it's an emergency."

He sighed. "Thank you." The lady nodded and walked out. "I'm sorry. Do you mind?"

"Not at all." She moved to get up.

"You don't have to leave. It's okay." Usagi sat back down as he picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Hi." Usagi heard a sad voice say. Now where the hell do I know him from!? The topic was bugging her.

"I can't do this right now."

"But Darien, I can't do it either!"

Usagi sat there puzzled, but didn't let her emotion show as she just continued to answer was on the tip of her tongue, but she was distracted by what she heard next.

"Raye." He sighed.

Usagi's eyes widened in shock. No way.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called."

"I understand you're hurt. But being sad won't bring her back. Serena wouldn't be happy that you're killing yourself like this."

Usagi stifled a gasp. I can't believe it.

"I'm interviewing someone right now. Can I call you back in a little while?"

"Sure. Sorry. And thanks."

"Anything for my baby sister."

"Bye."

"Bye." He hung up the phone. "I'm sorry."

"I-it's okay."

"My sister lives in out in California. Her best friend passed away about a week ago. She's taking it kind of hard."

"I'm sorry." She said, more to herself. I'm sorry, Darien, and I'm sorry, Raye.

"It's okay. Some drug deal gone bad." He shrugged his shoulders. "But people these days need to not get caught up in drug deals."

Usagi's sorrow was quickly replaced with anger. How dare he! He knew what kind of girl I was! "How do you know what that girl went through? I – uh – one of my friends knew Serena. She said that Serena was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was all her boyfriend."

"Whoa. I'm sorry. Calm down." He held up his hands in defense. "I'm just going off what I heard on the news." He sighed. He then looked towards the ceiling. "Sorry…Serena." He said quietly.

"Sorry. It's been a hard week." She took a breath. "So that was your sister?"

He nodded and turned a photo towards her. "Raye Chiba…well Hino. My mother changed her name and Raye's when she moved out to Cali."

Usagi stared at the picture. She was there when that was taken.

"I guess I should have a little more faith in Serena. She was a nice girl."

"Did you not like her?" She asked as the memory of their meeting sunk in. I acted like such a bitch.

"It was when we were younger. I flew in for my mother's funeral."

She sighed inwardly at the memory. That was the first time I met him…and the last. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I lived out here with my father while Raye stayed there. You know, I can't help but notice you do look like Serena. Only older."

"Really? I – uh – never met her. I wouldn't know."

"Eh, what would I know? I haven't seen her in seven years. Anyways, do you have any previous job experience in the medical field?"

"No. I just obtained my degree."

"When was this?"

"I graduated in spring of this year."

"But it's September. Why have you waited so long?"

"Well right after graduation, I had run into some personal problems. Then after those faded, I moved out here. This is the first place I looked..."

"Well I don't see a reason why I shouldn't hire you." He stood. "So welcome. It'll be great working with you Ms. Tsukino." He said extending his hand.

"Please call me Ser-" She cleared her throat. "Usagi."

A/N: So I'm hoping you caught that Serena and Usagi are one in the same. Darien is unaware, though he does notice they look alike ("...you do look like Serena. Only older.") but he's not making the connection. Darien and Raye are bro and sis. Hope the last name thing made sense between them two...uhhh...Usagi remembers Darien...their meeting (and what happened) will be explained later in the story...hints kinda sorta given in future chapters...Darien is 26, Serena/Usagi 22...thoes are the main ages you should know. Trista is Serena's 'marshall' (sp? And I think that's when they're called...the people who move them) I think that's all that i need to explain. So let me know if you think this story is worth me continuing or not! I won't update till I have 5 reviews (and please put more then update soon, don't update, great chapter, bad chapter...criticsm is good...and I won't send angry replies if you do insult me...as long as it's related to the story...

Thanks for reading
