Hey, minna. Sorry I haven't written a story in forever, but I've been busy with school and running two Buffy the Vampire Slayer sites.

Disclaimer: I have no claims on and am in no way affiliated with Sailor Moon or any related characters. I write FAN fiction for a reason. I don't own the characters. But, I think you know that already.

Prologue

**^^**^^**^^

"If you have to leave, just go."

"Rena, this isn't easy for me either. Don't be link this. You know that I love you. There are just things I need to do, and I can't do them here. I would never leave you if I didn't have to."

"But. . .I need you."

"I need you, too. When I come back-"

"No! If you leave, don't come back, not to me! Because I won't be waiting. If this is more important, maybe we don't belong together!"

"Serena, I'm gunna be back. When I am, we can move forward."

"Don't you treat me like a child! I'm a woman, no a little girl who will do what you wish. Just go."

"Let me walk you home, and we can-"

"No. I want you to think, to know, and to remember that you were the one to walk away from me, that you were the one to leave."

Without another word, he spun and left her standing there. Not once did he look back. She stood and watched him break her heart. Serena crumpled to the ground, her tears mixing with the rain on that lonely night.

"Darien, how could you leave me? I need you. I love you."
