Author's Note: Hello, my dear readers, so I've been a major Sailor Moon fan ever since the 1990's when it first came out. I grew up on this anime, and it's really the only anime that I hold close to my heart. Recently, I've been reading a lot of Sailor Moon fanfictions, and watching the new Sailor Moon Crystal. I have to say I'm loving it, I didn't read the manga. So finding out the Dark Knights of the Negaverse were actually the soul mates of the Four Sailor Scouts was a major surprise to me. Anyways, I loved the dark Sailor Moon fanfictions and wanted to try my best at it. This is my first Sailor Moon Fanfiction, so please go easy on me. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter One

"She's not our leader." Mina declared.

"She's a cry baby. A weakling, more importantly, a fake wannabe leader."

"Rai, you can't mean that?" Ami shouts.

"I do Ami. Ever since we defeated the Negaverse and faced new enemies; Serena has always been the one in trouble, the one that always cries, and is a huge liability in battle."

"Can't we give her another chance?" Ami quickly questions. She believed in Serena, and she didn't want to give up on her, but it quickly seemed like to Ami that sticking up for her friend would get her nowhere.

"We gave her enough chances, Ami." A lone figure sat alone on a nearby bench. This lone figure stood up, as a long-black cape bellowed through the light wind.

"You can't mean that Darien?" Ami questioned. Was she the only one that cared for Serena?

Darien placed his arm around Rei's neck. Ami thought, she might get sick from seeing what was happening before her eyes. Rei and the others looked at her, and what could she suggest differently?

"Serena is unworthy." Ami hears Luna express. She could see Artemis nodding in agreement. She sighed. Mina, Lita, and Rei were one in the same; when it came to Serena, and the Sailor Scouts.

She stared them down, until her thoughts were of the same. She looked down in shame, what was she doing? She could hear happy laughs of the others. And continued down the path with the others in tow.

Unknown to any of them a blonde, pigtailed teen stood behind them. A tree hiding her petite form. Her clear blue eyes letting salted tears escape from the ducts of her eyes. Her hands, clenching, her uniform in sadness and anger.

Was she hearing it right?

Did her friends think of her as worthless; a crybaby and that's it. What's even worse was seeing Darien lip locking her friend. Well, it wasn't a big surprise since Rei dated Darien first. Her heart broke nonetheless; her hand going up to her chest it felt like her heart was going to explode; if that was possible? That she would die from a broken heart.

Her vision became a blur, while her so-called friends left talking amongst each other. Leaving her all alone. The biggest betrayal was of Luna, she was supposed to be her partner the one that would back her up against all odds. She whimpered, her body sagging to the cold earth beneath her.

She didn't think she was there for such a long period of time, yet, when Serena opened her eyes all she could see was the pale light of the moon.

She didn't deserve to be their leader, huh? She was just a crybaby. "Fine," she thought. Looking at her brooch that laid against her chest, adjourning her school's uniform, tearing it off her chest, gripping it and throwing it as far away from her, as she could.

She wouldn't be Sailor Moon anymore was her final decision; instead she would evolve as a person. She would get smarter; she would be just more.

She would prove to them that she wasn't a crybaby that she could be great.

Believe it or not.

Serena was actually helping her family pack the rest of the house's contents for the move.

Her Mother and Father were at first surprised by their daughter's willingness to help. Just the other day they remembered the same girl crying about how she didn't want to move away from her friends. Watching the same girl hurl boxes left and right until finally lifting the last box onto the moving van.

A small kid watched the blonde teen, this kid was Sammie, Serena's little brother. He had to give it to her he was impressed at the change of attitude in his older sister. For the first time, Sammie could actually see his sister in a new light.

After Serena placed the last box onto the van, Serena sighed in tiredness. Her arms were going to hurt in the following days to come, but whenever she thought of tomorrow all the soreness in her body simply vanished. She couldn't wait for tomorrow; it meant that she would awake her eyes to a new city filled with new hope.

She wanted to forget about the events that took place the day before. Leaving it and them in the past.

"Serena, you ready?" She felt her Mother's hand upon her shoulder. Giving it a gentle squeeze, Serena smiled in reply, and hugged the women that brought such happiness with her.

She closed her eyes once she took her place in the back of the moving van. For when she opened them next, her past would disappear and a new one would take its place.

A man with long silver hair passed his shoulders, with eyes of deep topaz stood under the pale moonlight.

Half his body masked in shadow, while the other basked in the light of the moon. Serena felt herself walking towards him, her long flowing silver hair entering her line of vision. The man's face was half lit while the other was clouded in the reprieve of shadows.

Her hand reached out to be placed upon his cheek, she could feel the heat of his skin, and the compelling feeling to be near him. The man did the same, Serena could see his arm that was clouded in shadows lift to her cheek, yet, the feeling she got was one of dread and death.

Until she woke up, screaming.

She was lying on her bed in an unfamiliar room. Her eyes waking up more, she soon realized that she was lying in her new room. Boxes littered the carpet, and she could hear the soft sounds of roaming cars in the distance. She looked towards the door, she had woken up screaming, yet, her parents didn't hear her. Strange. What was stranger was the dream. Just who was the man in her dreams, and why did he look so familiar?
