This is kind of a strange story, and although it's angst it's
got some comedy as well. There are some odd pairings in this,
including one with Amara and a male for awhile. I know Amara
is a lesbian, and believe me I would be the last person to
change her sexuality in most stories, but this is a strange
story as i've said. To be fair I also changed the sexuality
of Serena for a brief period. Everything in this story is
supposed to be a bit or even a lot "off." So if you're looking
for regular pairings or me sticking to the characters'
personality completely then you'll be disappointed. I apologize
if i disappoint anyone. I just wanted to try something
different.
Two Roads:
A solitary figure watched.
Amara was walking down the street. She had been shopping
for Michelle. She smiled at the thought of Michelle opening the
gift she had gotten for her. She hoped that she had remembered
the right size. *That would be a tragedy if I ended up getting the
wrong size,* Amara thought, chuckling inwardly. She was not paying
attention to which way she was going and instead of going down the
right road, she continued along the left road. She probably would
have figured out that she was taking the wrong road soon if she
had not felt a large hand on her back, one grabbing her arm, one
punching her, and the next thing she knew she was sprawled out on
the ground.
She stood up quickly. There were three large men surrounding
her. She was not so sure she could take them out. At least not as
Amara...but as Sailor Uranus? Perhaps. She decided to use that only
as a last resort. She contemplated all of this in a matter of mere
seconds and still managed to duck the next punch being thrown at her
face. She gritted her teeth and growled. The three men looked at one
another briefly and laughed. She took the opportunity to run, but
one grabbed her arm and swung her up against the wall. She gasped for
breath as he began choking her. All three of the men were surrounding
her, pushing her closer to the wall, and one was still choking her.
She struggled in his tight grasp to breathe. She hated feeling
vulnerable. She hated feeling trapped. She could not transform if
she did not get free. She punched him in the stomach. He only
loosened his grip for a moment, but a moment was long enough. She
grabbed the transformation pen and shouted, "Uranus Planet Power!!"
"Uranus World Shaking!!!" she screamed as she unleashed the power on
all three of them. She transferred all the fear, pain, humility, and
shame they had caused her to feel into the attack, and when she was
done her breath stopped at the sight before her. Those three men had
been helpless against the powers of Sailor Uranus, and they were
lying sprawled out on the ground, motionless and dead.
She detransformed back into Amara, and she ran from the
scene. She entered the outers' large shared apartment, gasping for
breath and trying to force the image of their dead bodies out of her
mind.
A wet-haired Michelle greeted her partner at the door with
a kiss and an embrace. "How are you doing love?" she asked, flipping
her hair over her head and wrapping it up in the towel. The drops
of water could be heard dripping onto the floor as Amara shrugged
her shoulders.
"Nothing," Amara mumbled, going into the kitchen to get
something to eat. Then she abruptly changed her mind. She could not
eat with the image of those dead men occupying her every thought.
Michelle of course sensed something was wrong. She
approached Amara with concern shining through her eyes. "Amara
darling, what is wrong?" she asked softly.
"It is really nothing," Amara gave a nervous giggle and
then threw up on the floor. "Must be nerves," Amara mumbled as she
went to sit down. Michelle grabbed a towel and cleaned it up.
"Amara, I know when you are lying to me. You cannot even
attempt to cover it up now that you have puked. So please, save us
both the trouble of my constant questioning and tell me what is
wrong. You know I will always support you and be here for you. What
is wrong?"
Amara gave a deep sigh. "You are right. I know you are always
here Michelle, but I hope you can forgive me for this. I have done
something terrible."
"Oh Amara, tell me about this."
"Well...I was attacked," she began.
Michelle nodded her head to nudge Amara along in her story.
"There were three men," Amara continued. "I tried to fight them
fairly as Amara. I really did Michelle, but they were huge, strong
men. I couldn't get free. So I transformed and attacked them, and
well...I accidentally...killed them," she mumbled quickly.
"You killed three humans?" Michelle asked in astonishment.
Her body froze.
Amara nodded her head and puked again. Michelle did not
say anything and did not move to clean up the puke.
"Michelle...you never leave anything dirty on the floor.
Don't you want to clean it up?" Amara asked.
Michelle was still frozen, saying nothing and not moving.
"Michelle are you all right?" Amara asked. "Listen I know it is
sick, but how can I move forward from this? Besides those guys were
bad news. I probably did the world a favor getting rid of them."
"You freak!" Michelle shouted, finding her voice. She jumped
up. "You have no right to pass judgement on humans. None of us do.
They may have been assholes, but you had no right to take human
lives Amara."
"It wasn't on purpose Michelle."
"And you think that makes it ok?"
"Well obviously not...I puked didn't I?" Amara joked a little
to lighten the air. She hated when things were so dense and serious.
Michelle shook her head. "You are disgusting. How could you
joke about this? Get out."
"What?" Amara asked in shock.
"I said get out. I can't stomach this. I don't want you near
my house. You're a killer Amara. You will have to live with that for
the rest of your life. I don't have to though, and I refuse to. I
refuse to be dating or even associated with a killer. I won't turn
you in, but stay away from me."
"You must be kidding..." Amara asked in desperation.
"Not at all. Get out and stay out!" Michelle screamed.
Amara left, still in shock.
Darien was standing outside the apartment. "Amara,
what is wrong?" he asked, seeing her leaving the place alone in
shock.
"I do Not want to talk about it," Amara said as she puked
yet again.
"Oh let's get you inside," Darien said kindly.
"No...I can't go in there. Michelle kicked me out."
"Oh wow. I'm so sorry. Here let's go to my apartment then."
Once they were inside Darien's apartment, she explained the
situation to Darien. He held her and comforted her. "I am so
sorry Amara," he said quietly. "That is really tough of her. We both
know you did the wrong thing, but it was an accident. You were
defending yourself. You are not to blame here."
"Really?" she asked for reassurance.
"Really," he reassured her.
Amara's mouth and body moved towards his as she kissed him
on the lips. He did not stop her, feeling an attraction to
her for some reason right now. Part of him shouted this was wrong.
Part of him yearned for the kiss.
Neither part of him was prepared for what happened next. As
Amara's lips were locked onto his, Serena entered the apartment. She
gasped and took a few steps back.
"Serena, wait. Let me explain," Darien said, breaking off the
kiss with Amara. Serena shook her head, whimpering sounds coming out
of her mouth. She turned and ran out. "Serena wait!" Darien yelled,
but to no avail. She just kept running.
"I guess I should go," Amara said reluctantly.
"Yeah that's probably best," Darien reluctantly agreed.
"Please Serena," Darien begged, placing his hand gently in
hers.
She pulled her hand out of his quickly and harshly. "No. Go
away," she said forcefully.
"Serena, it was an accident."
"Don't try to excuse your behavior. You want Amara? You can
have her, but I don't want anything to do with either one of you.
Least of all you Darien," she spat out.
"Okay, okay Serena. I'm so sorry. I'm really really sorry.
Please give me another chance. I'm so lonely without you."
Serena shook her head. "No. Not now. Not ever. You wanted to
kiss her, so now you can kiss her whenever you like. Consider
yourself single and on the market again Darien." She spun around and
ran out of the park. He knew better than to follow her.
Time didn't change Serena's decision to break up with
Darien, nor did it change Michelle's decision to not want to be near
Amara ever again. What did change is the bond between Amara and
Darien. It slowly got stronger and stronger, and eventually they did
become "an item."
Meanwhile there were another two people also becoming a
couple.
"Trista do you think I was being too hard on Amara?"
Michelle asked.
"Definitely not. She toyed with powerful forces for her own
selfish protection. You are right to not stand for that Michelle."
Michelle sighed in relief. "I'm glad it's not just me being
heartless. I admit that I have a lot of strong beliefs that can make
me judgemental and unfair at times, but who would I be if I didn't
stand up for my beliefs?"
"You're passionate Michelle. That's a good thing. I've always
admired that about you," Trista said, flirting a little.
Michelle flirted right back.
Raye held Serena, running her fingers through Serena's hair
in a soothing manner. "I know it hurts Serena. I know it hurts so
much. I'm so sorry. I hate that jerk Darien for doing this to you
my closest bestest friend," she said passionately. "I am right here
for you through this all ok?"
"Thank you," Serena sniffled and sat with her best friend for
comfort.
"So Trista, I was thinking about having a bubble bath
tonight. Since we've become such close friends,
maybe you would like to join me?" Michelle asked coyly.
Trista took the bait hook, line, and sinker. Something akin
to a giggle burst forth from Michelle's mouth, and they enjoyed the
bath together. It was not long before the two of them were a couple
as well. They each eased the lonely ache in one another's heart.
Michelle's ache for Amara was eased by Trista, and Trista's ache
from loneliness was combated as well. The same was actually true of
Darien and Amara who ached for Serena and Michelle respectively.
Raye was rubbing Serena's back soothingly. "There you go,"
she said when she finished. "How was that?"
"It helped some," Serena mumbled, her face red from tears.
"How could he do this to me?" she wailed for the millionth time that
day.
"I don't know. It's his loss Serena. You'll find someone
better who can look after you and take good care of you like you
deserve."
"Like who? No one wants me."
"I want you. I'll take care of you Serena," Raye offered.
"You aren't alone through this ok?"
"Thank you," Serena said, and she sighed as she snuggled
closer to Raye on the couch.
The sailor senshi gathered together to fight off the new
threat to people's safety. "Hey creep, over here!" Jupiter shouted
as she diverted the monster's attention with Mars and Venus.
Mercury was running a scan. Neptune and Pluto weren't here yet.
Uranus was preparing to attack from the bushes behind the monster.
Tuxedo Mask was going to signal to Uranus when it was her chance to
attack from behind. Sailor Moon suddenly swooped in, and the monster
turned its attention to her. It quickly sent a killer cupcake at
her, and she screamed. She was frozen in place, unable to move by
the fear she felt. The cupcake hit her, and she fell to the ground,
crying from the pain. Tuxedo Mask jumped in front of her as the
monster sent a wave of dark power at Sailor Moon. He got hit and
fell to the ground.
Neptune appeared with Pluto. "Neptune Deep Submerge!"
"Pluto Deadly Scream!!" And the monster was destroyed.
Sailor Moon rushed to Tuxedo Mask's side. "Tuxedo Mask!"
she screamed. Sailor Uranus ran over and picked him up.
"Take him to my place," Sailor Mercury said. "I can take
care of him. He's seriously wounded, but we can't take him to the
hospital. I'll take care of him. I am nearly a doctor anyway," she
reassured Uranus and Moon as well as the others. They all
reluctantly agreed except for Moon who was too occupied with
alternating between screaming and crying. Finally she settled on
wailing then bawling.
There were circles under Serena's eyes as she sat up for the
second night through the night beside Darien in Amy's apartment. She
looked up tiredly when Amy entered.
"Serena, you should go home and get some rest," Amy said,
also tired.
"No way. I was such a jerk to him, and I don't want him to
die without at least knowing how much I truly love him."
"He knew Serena."
"I can't be sure. I have to stay," she said stubbornly.
"At least go out and rest on my couch like I have been the
last few hours," Amy asked.
"No," Serena said. "I want to stay by his side. Poor guy. I
was so hard on him and still he saved me. Oh Amy," she wailed.
"Please save him."
"I'm trying. I promise I'll do all I can Serena," she
reassured the distraught girl as she sat down beside her.
"I can't believe Serena!" Raye shouted at the next sailor
senshi meeting. Michelle, Amy, and Serena were the only ones not
present. Michelle was not present because of the simple fact that
Amara was, and Serena and Amy were with Darien.
"I can't either. How dare she try to steal my boyfriend!"
Amara exclaimed loudly.
"How dare he try to win her back with that stunt actually!"
Raye yelled. "She deserves so much better."
"Wrong, he deserves so much better than that clutz," Amara
shouted back. They looked at each other with narrowed eyes but
stopped as Trista and Hotaru took control of the rest of the
meeting.
Amara was found hanging from a rope that she had put in the
ceiling of Darien's apartment by Amy the next morning. There was a
suicide note.
I have nothing and no one left to live for. Darien has
Serena back now, but then again he was a small comfort compared to
my own true beloved who will never forgive me. I'm sorry Michelle
for letting you down with those guys. I wish they had lived so that
we could have stayed together. Please forgive me for taking the
only way out I can think of. Signed, Amara.
"Oh Amara, you were supposed to live for yourself, not for
anyone else," Michelle said sadly when Amy had called her to come
read the note. Luckily the body was gone or Michelle would
probably have broken down. All the senshi went to the funeral and
mourned sadly. Darien was recovering, so he and Serena were also
able to attend.
Late one night the inner senshi paid a visit to Darien and
Serena at Darien's apartment. Raye pulled Serena aside and asked her
about their relationship. "I suppose you are taking that scum
back?" Raye asked harshly.
"He isn't scum. Oh how could you say such a thing? He made
a mistake. He's human Raye. I forgive him and love him
unconditionally."
"He's no good. You deserve so much better. I could be all
you want."
"Raye, we're friends. That's all."
"Yeah, well, you didn't feel that way till he pulled that
stunt and jumped in front of you. That was just an evil ploy of
his to win you back I'm sure. Sad that you're so naive it actually
worked," Raye spat out angrily.
"Calm down Raye. We are destined for each other. You're
just going to have to accept that," Serena said simply.
Raye's face turned bright red as she turned on Darien.
"You bastard. You brainwashed her!! She's mine!!!!" Raye screamed,
jumping on Darien and beginning to beat him down.
Lita grabbed Raye and with Mina they held Raye back.
Darien rubbed his back. "Ow that hurt."
"What they hell do you think you're doing?" Mina
demanded.
"Calm down. Get a grip," Lita said.
"Seriously," Serena agreed.
"Let me go!!" Raye screamed.
Mina let go. Lita didn't. Raye punched Lita and ran out.
Lita grimaced. "She packs a pretty hard punch," Lita said quietly,
rubbing her stomach.
There was yet another sailor senshi meeting that Luna and
Artemis called to discuss all the friction among the sailor scouts
and the loss of Sailor Uranus. The meeting took place at the
temple. They discussed new strategies now being one member short,
and they discussed some of the recent disagreements. Raye was told
to calm her temper, but perhaps someone should have said the same
to Serena because as soon as Raye said another cutting remark
about Darien, Serena had had enough. She held out her fists ready
to punch Raye. Raye got ready to attack Serena. Amy held Serena
back. Lita and Mina held Raye back again.
At the next inner senshi meeting Raye was not invited and
it took place in Mina's apartment. Lita proposed voting Raye off
the team. "You always said if there was friction among the sailors
we could vote in another leader, so could we not also vote off
a member that is only causing the team to be disunified and
unstructured?" Lita asked.
"Well...yes, I suppose so. That is a harsh decision though,
so make sure you are sure," Luna said.
Mina did not like the idea. Serena was off shopping with
Darien. So that left only Amy's vote.
"I'm sorry Lita. I just don't think that's right," Amy
said honestly.
Thus Raye remained an inner senshi.
Serena gasped when she looked in Raye's journal. The inner
senshi were all having a sleepover at Raye's temple, and Serena
had snuck into Raye's room late that night after everyone else had
fallen asleep. She went back into her sleeping bag and glanced
over at Raye's red sleeping bag next to hers. She tossed and
turned wondering what to do all night. For she had discovered that
Raye was plotting to kill Darien. Eventually she came to the
conclusion that the only solution was to kill Raye before Raye
could kill Darien. The morning sun was rising as she pulled out a
knife that she had been carrying with her lately for protection
purposes, and without looking stabbed the sleeping bag next to her.
Satisfied that she had regretfully had to kill the senshi of Mars,
she got out of her sleeping bag and took the knife to the kitchen.
Not before seeing Raye's red sleeping bag rolled up outside the
kitchen though. She glanced back at the sleeping bag next to hers.
It was yellow. She had killed Mina. "Oh my god," Serena's mouth
gaped open in shock. Then she screamed. Mina was rushed to the
hospital.
Arriving at the hospital that morning, Amy quickly covers
for Serena by telling the Emergency room doctors that they had
foolishly been walking around alone at night and a man had jumped
out and stabbed Mina. The doctors rushed her into a room. The
others had to sit and wait to see what would happen to their
friend.
While they were waiting, Lita faced Amy. "How could you
cover for Serena?" she demanded angrily. She nearly killed our
best friend, and not only are you going to stand by and let it
happen, you've decided to help cover for her too."
"Serena is our best friend too. Besides we don't know
the whole story yet," Amy reminded Lita.
Lita wasn't buying it, and she jumped on top of Serena.
Serena screamed as the powerful girl punched, hit, and kicked
her. Bruises covered her body as Lita was pulled off Serena by
the hospital staff and also taken into a room at the emergency
room in the hospital.
A few days later Serena is let out and discovers that
Mina has survived but is paralyzed for life since she was
sleeping on her stomach when Serena stabbed her in the back. She
will be confined to a wheelchair and need to be wheeled around
everywhere by her father and friends for the rest of her life.
Lita takes responsibility of wheeling Mina around
everywhere, refusing to allow Amy or Serena to come anywhere
near her or speak to her or even have any kind of contact with
her and thus splitting up the inner senshi.
There was a knock on Serena's bedroom door. "What is
it?" she asked.
Her mother opened the door and Amy stood in the
doorway. "Serena, I have some news." She stepped inside.
"What is it Ames?" Serena asked affectionately to her
best friend as Serena's mother left them alone.
"It is just. I don't know how to tell you this Serena,
but Darien is dead. I'm so sorry. I neglected to check up on
him the last few days because I was so busy visiting you and
Mina. He died. I'm so sorry," she sobbed.
"I HATE YOU. I WILL NEVER BE NEAR YOU AGAIN. GET OUT OF
HERE!" Serena yelled angrily. Amy ran out.
Amy locked herself in her room at home, slowly starving
herself from the guilt.
Serena was lost in her own world of pain over losing
Darien.
Raye was lost in her own world of pain over losing
Serena.
Lita was mad at all the inners except for Mina, and
although she will speak to Raye, she is not happy with her
recent behavior either. She devotedly looks after Mina.
Ever since Michelle had read Amara's suicide note and
gone to Amara's funeral, she went into deep depression and
sadness, wanting nothing to do with Trista and hating herself
and Trista for the betrayal of Amara.
Trista was in deep despair, begging Michelle to take
her back.
Hotaru needs comfort from losing her papa, but neither
Michelle nor Trista can be there for her. She is dying with
pain as well, especially when after Darien dies, Rini
disappears suddenly while they are walking in the park. She is
all alone and wants to destroy this messed up world while
dying with it.
Amara gasps at these visions, and she realizes she is
going down the wrong street. She quickly turns and goes down
the street to the right.
The green haired solitary figure watching Amara
sighs in relief. By going down the correct street, Amara had
saved the timeline and prevented all this from happening.
*Thank goodness, but why do I always have to save the timeline
from these idiots?* Trista complained to herself and sighed.
*Oh well, I prevented Amara from going down the wrong street.
She couldn't have known how it would change the entire
future of the senshi and the world,* Trista thought silently.
The End
So how did i do with this story? Please let me know.
got some comedy as well. There are some odd pairings in this,
including one with Amara and a male for awhile. I know Amara
is a lesbian, and believe me I would be the last person to
change her sexuality in most stories, but this is a strange
story as i've said. To be fair I also changed the sexuality
of Serena for a brief period. Everything in this story is
supposed to be a bit or even a lot "off." So if you're looking
for regular pairings or me sticking to the characters'
personality completely then you'll be disappointed. I apologize
if i disappoint anyone. I just wanted to try something
different.

something terrible."
"Oh Amara, tell me about this."
"Well...I was attacked," she began.
Michelle nodded her head to nudge Amara along in her story.
"There were three men," Amara continued. "I tried to fight them

"You freak!" Michelle shouted, finding her voice. She jumped
up. "You have no right to pass judgement on humans. None of us do.
They may have been assholes, but you had no right to take human

"It wasn't on purpose Michelle."
"And you think that makes it ok?"
"Well obviously not...I puked didn't I?" Amara joked a little
to lighten the air. She hated when things were so dense and serious.
Michelle shook her head. "You are disgusting. How could you

"What?" Amara asked in shock.
"I said get out. I can't stomach this. I don't want you near
my house. You're a killer Amara. You will have to live with that for
the rest of your life. I don't have to though, and I refuse to. I
refuse to be dating or even associated with a killer. I won't turn
you in, but stay away from me."
"You must be kidding..." Amara asked in desperation.
"Not at all. Get out and stay out!" Michelle screamed.
Amara left, still in shock.
Darien was standing outside the apartment. "Amara,
what is wrong?" he asked, seeing her leaving the place alone in
shock.
"I do Not want to talk about it," Amara said as she puked
yet again.
"Oh let's get you inside," Darien said kindly.
"No...I can't go in there. Michelle kicked me out."
"Oh wow. I'm so sorry. Here let's go to my apartment then."
Once they were inside Darien's apartment, she explained the
situation to Darien. He held her and comforted her. "I am so
sorry Amara," he said quietly. "That is really tough of her. We both
know you did the wrong thing, but it was an accident. You were

"Really?" she asked for reassurance.
"Really," he reassured her.

"Trista do you think I was being too hard on Amara?"
Michelle asked.
"Definitely not. She toyed with powerful forces for her own
selfish protection. You are right to not stand for that Michelle."
Michelle sighed in relief. "I'm glad it's not just me being
heartless. I admit that I have a lot of strong beliefs that can make
me judgemental and unfair at times, but who would I be if I didn't
stand up for my beliefs?"
"You're passionate Michelle. That's a good thing. I've always
admired that about you," Trista said, flirting a little.
Michelle flirted right back.
Raye held Serena, running her fingers through Serena's hair
in a soothing manner. "I know it hurts Serena. I know it hurts so
much. I'm so sorry. I hate that jerk Darien for doing this to you
my closest bestest friend," she said passionately. "I am right here
for you through this all ok?"
"Thank you," Serena sniffled and sat with her best friend for
comfort.
"So Trista, I was thinking about having a bubble bath
tonight. Since we've become such close friends,
maybe you would like to join me?" Michelle asked coyly.
Trista took the bait hook, line, and sinker. Something akin
to a giggle burst forth from Michelle's mouth, and they enjoyed the
bath together. It was not long before the two of them were a couple
as well. They each eased the lonely ache in one another's heart.
Michelle's ache for Amara was eased by Trista, and Trista's ache
from loneliness was combated as well. The same was actually true of
Darien and Amara who ached for Serena and Michelle respectively.
Raye was rubbing Serena's back soothingly. "There you go,"
she said when she finished. "How was that?"
"It helped some," Serena mumbled, her face red from tears.
"How could he do this to me?" she wailed for the millionth time that
day.
"I don't know. It's his loss Serena. You'll find someone
better who can look after you and take good care of you like you
deserve."
"Like who? No one wants me."
"I want you. I'll take care of you Serena," Raye offered.
"You aren't alone through this ok?"
"Thank you," Serena said, and she sighed as she snuggled
closer to Raye on the couch.
The sailor senshi gathered together to fight off the new
threat to people's safety. "Hey creep, over here!" Jupiter shouted
as she diverted the monster's attention with Mars and Venus.
Mercury was running a scan. Neptune and Pluto weren't here yet.
Uranus was preparing to attack from the bushes behind the monster.
Tuxedo Mask was going to signal to Uranus when it was her chance to
attack from behind. Sailor Moon suddenly swooped in, and the monster
turned its attention to her. It quickly sent a killer cupcake at
her, and she screamed. She was frozen in place, unable to move by
the fear she felt. The cupcake hit her, and she fell to the ground,
crying from the pain. Tuxedo Mask jumped in front of her as the
monster sent a wave of dark power at Sailor Moon. He got hit and
fell to the ground.
Neptune appeared with Pluto. "Neptune Deep Submerge!"
"Pluto Deadly Scream!!" And the monster was destroyed.
Sailor Moon rushed to Tuxedo Mask's side. "Tuxedo Mask!"
she screamed. Sailor Uranus ran over and picked him up.
"Take him to my place," Sailor Mercury said. "I can take
care of him. He's seriously wounded, but we can't take him to the
hospital. I'll take care of him. I am nearly a doctor anyway," she
reassured Uranus and Moon as well as the others. They all
reluctantly agreed except for Moon who was too occupied with
alternating between screaming and crying. Finally she settled on
wailing then bawling.
There were circles under Serena's eyes as she sat up for the
second night through the night beside Darien in Amy's apartment. She
looked up tiredly when Amy entered.
"Serena, you should go home and get some rest," Amy said,
also tired.
"No way. I was such a jerk to him, and I don't want him to
die without at least knowing how much I truly love him."
"He knew Serena."
"I can't be sure. I have to stay," she said stubbornly.
"At least go out and rest on my couch like I have been the
last few hours," Amy asked.
"No," Serena said. "I want to stay by his side. Poor guy. I
was so hard on him and still he saved me. Oh Amy," she wailed.
"Please save him."
"I'm trying. I promise I'll do all I can Serena," she
reassured the distraught girl as she sat down beside her.
"I can't believe Serena!" Raye shouted at the next sailor
senshi meeting. Michelle, Amy, and Serena were the only ones not
present. Michelle was not present because of the simple fact that
Amara was, and Serena and Amy were with Darien.
"I can't either. How dare she try to steal my boyfriend!"
Amara exclaimed loudly.
"How dare he try to win her back with that stunt actually!"
Raye yelled. "She deserves so much better."
"Wrong, he deserves so much better than that clutz," Amara
shouted back. They looked at each other with narrowed eyes but
stopped as Trista and Hotaru took control of the rest of the
meeting.
Amara was found hanging from a rope that she had put in the
ceiling of Darien's apartment by Amy the next morning. There was a
suicide note.
I have nothing and no one left to live for. Darien has
Serena back now, but then again he was a small comfort compared to
my own true beloved who will never forgive me. I'm sorry Michelle
for letting you down with those guys. I wish they had lived so that
we could have stayed together. Please forgive me for taking the
only way out I can think of. Signed, Amara.
"Oh Amara, you were supposed to live for yourself, not for
anyone else," Michelle said sadly when Amy had called her to come
read the note. Luckily the body was gone or Michelle would
probably have broken down. All the senshi went to the funeral and
mourned sadly. Darien was recovering, so he and Serena were also
able to attend.
Late one night the inner senshi paid a visit to Darien and
Serena at Darien's apartment. Raye pulled Serena aside and asked her
about their relationship. "I suppose you are taking that scum
back?" Raye asked harshly.
"He isn't scum. Oh how could you say such a thing? He made
a mistake. He's human Raye. I forgive him and love him
unconditionally."
"He's no good. You deserve so much better. I could be all
you want."
"Raye, we're friends. That's all."
"Yeah, well, you didn't feel that way till he pulled that
stunt and jumped in front of you. That was just an evil ploy of
his to win you back I'm sure. Sad that you're so naive it actually
worked," Raye spat out angrily.
"Calm down Raye. We are destined for each other. You're
just going to have to accept that," Serena said simply.
Raye's face turned bright red as she turned on Darien.
"You bastard. You brainwashed her!! She's mine!!!!" Raye screamed,
jumping on Darien and beginning to beat him down.
Lita grabbed Raye and with Mina they held Raye back.
Darien rubbed his back. "Ow that hurt."
"What they hell do you think you're doing?" Mina
demanded.
"Calm down. Get a grip," Lita said.
"Seriously," Serena agreed.
"Let me go!!" Raye screamed.
Mina let go. Lita didn't. Raye punched Lita and ran out.
Lita grimaced. "She packs a pretty hard punch," Lita said quietly,
rubbing her stomach.
There was yet another sailor senshi meeting that Luna and
Artemis called to discuss all the friction among the sailor scouts
and the loss of Sailor Uranus. The meeting took place at the
temple. They discussed new strategies now being one member short,
and they discussed some of the recent disagreements. Raye was told
to calm her temper, but perhaps someone should have said the same
to Serena because as soon as Raye said another cutting remark
about Darien, Serena had had enough. She held out her fists ready
to punch Raye. Raye got ready to attack Serena. Amy held Serena
back. Lita and Mina held Raye back again.
At the next inner senshi meeting Raye was not invited and
it took place in Mina's apartment. Lita proposed voting Raye off
the team. "You always said if there was friction among the sailors
we could vote in another leader, so could we not also vote off
a member that is only causing the team to be disunified and
unstructured?" Lita asked.
"Well...yes, I suppose so. That is a harsh decision though,
so make sure you are sure," Luna said.
Mina did not like the idea. Serena was off shopping with
Darien. So that left only Amy's vote.
"I'm sorry Lita. I just don't think that's right," Amy
said honestly.
Thus Raye remained an inner senshi.
Serena gasped when she looked in Raye's journal. The inner
senshi were all having a sleepover at Raye's temple, and Serena
had snuck into Raye's room late that night after everyone else had
fallen asleep. She went back into her sleeping bag and glanced
over at Raye's red sleeping bag next to hers. She tossed and
turned wondering what to do all night. For she had discovered that
Raye was plotting to kill Darien. Eventually she came to the
conclusion that the only solution was to kill Raye before Raye
could kill Darien. The morning sun was rising as she pulled out a
knife that she had been carrying with her lately for protection
purposes, and without looking stabbed the sleeping bag next to her.
Satisfied that she had regretfully had to kill the senshi of Mars,
she got out of her sleeping bag and took the knife to the kitchen.
Not before seeing Raye's red sleeping bag rolled up outside the
kitchen though. She glanced back at the sleeping bag next to hers.
It was yellow. She had killed Mina. "Oh my god," Serena's mouth
gaped open in shock. Then she screamed. Mina was rushed to the
hospital.
Arriving at the hospital that morning, Amy quickly covers
for Serena by telling the Emergency room doctors that they had
foolishly been walking around alone at night and a man had jumped
out and stabbed Mina. The doctors rushed her into a room. The
others had to sit and wait to see what would happen to their
friend.
While they were waiting, Lita faced Amy. "How could you
cover for Serena?" she demanded angrily. She nearly killed our
best friend, and not only are you going to stand by and let it
happen, you've decided to help cover for her too."
"Serena is our best friend too. Besides we don't know
the whole story yet," Amy reminded Lita.
Lita wasn't buying it, and she jumped on top of Serena.
Serena screamed as the powerful girl punched, hit, and kicked
her. Bruises covered her body as Lita was pulled off Serena by
the hospital staff and also taken into a room at the emergency
room in the hospital.
A few days later Serena is let out and discovers that
Mina has survived but is paralyzed for life since she was
sleeping on her stomach when Serena stabbed her in the back. She
will be confined to a wheelchair and need to be wheeled around
everywhere by her father and friends for the rest of her life.
Lita takes responsibility of wheeling Mina around
everywhere, refusing to allow Amy or Serena to come anywhere
near her or speak to her or even have any kind of contact with
her and thus splitting up the inner senshi.
There was a knock on Serena's bedroom door. "What is
it?" she asked.
Her mother opened the door and Amy stood in the
doorway. "Serena, I have some news." She stepped inside.
"What is it Ames?" Serena asked affectionately to her
best friend as Serena's mother left them alone.
"It is just. I don't know how to tell you this Serena,
but Darien is dead. I'm so sorry. I neglected to check up on
him the last few days because I was so busy visiting you and
Mina. He died. I'm so sorry," she sobbed.
"I HATE YOU. I WILL NEVER BE NEAR YOU AGAIN. GET OUT OF
HERE!" Serena yelled angrily. Amy ran out.
Amy locked herself in her room at home, slowly starving
herself from the guilt.
Serena was lost in her own world of pain over losing
Darien.
Raye was lost in her own world of pain over losing
Serena.
Lita was mad at all the inners except for Mina, and
although she will speak to Raye, she is not happy with her
recent behavior either. She devotedly looks after Mina.
Ever since Michelle had read Amara's suicide note and
gone to Amara's funeral, she went into deep depression and
sadness, wanting nothing to do with Trista and hating herself
and Trista for the betrayal of Amara.
Trista was in deep despair, begging Michelle to take
her back.
Hotaru needs comfort from losing her papa, but neither
Michelle nor Trista can be there for her. She is dying with
pain as well, especially when after Darien dies, Rini
disappears suddenly while they are walking in the park. She is
all alone and wants to destroy this messed up world while
dying with it.
Amara gasps at these visions, and she realizes she is
going down the wrong street. She quickly turns and goes down
the street to the right.
The green haired solitary figure watching Amara
sighs in relief. By going down the correct street, Amara had
saved the timeline and prevented all this from happening.
*Thank goodness, but why do I always have to save the timeline
from these idiots?* Trista complained to herself and sighed.
*Oh well, I prevented Amara from going down the wrong street.
She couldn't have known how it would change the entire
future of the senshi and the world,* Trista thought silently.
The End
So how did i do with this story? Please let me know.
