Leaving
This is my first story ever, so basic disclaimers, I do not own Sailor Moon, or in any way did I even create. I wish I did but I am not that creative. I like wen u guys review cuz it makes me feel all happy and warm inside, so I hope u guys remember to review. Don't worry I'll remind you. Suggestions will be taken for a new and better title
Serena's POV
"But Mother why do I have to go, why can't Sailor Mars go? Not trying to be mean or anything but she is the one who wanted to go in the first place, so why not send her?" I raged on why can't mother understand the fact that I don't want to go to Earth, not yet at least. And here she goes again with the code of Honor and how the scouts won't be there to protect me, and how I am going to have to learn to stick up for myself. Well if she ever payed attention to my life she would see I know the code of Honor by heart, and I always stick up for myself, for others too, she makes me sooo mad sometimes. Why is she doing this? I looked up into my mother's worried face.
"Serena are you listening to me," now what does she want?, "Serena this will be your first time going down to earth since...since your father died." My mother faltered. Then the memories hit me.
Flashback
I had just gotten back from Earth after my surprise birthday party and mother was yelling at me. I ran into the palace rose gardens (If u haven't guessed yet this is on the moon kingdom. Serena is four in the flashback and fourteen in the story) crying. I went and sat on my favorite bench the one overlooked by a statue of my grandmother and grandfather. I went crying all the while, crying so hard that I didn't notice that I was being followed. Then out of the corner of my vision I saw a bit of silver, the silver glint of a sword coming my way. Just as sudden a golden haired figure jumped in front of me taking the sword right through his chest. At first I thought it was one of the palace guards, just doing his duty to protect me. The man turned around, his face contorted in pure agony; I cried out in anguish. My Father had just taken a sword for me.
"Hide!" he told me, I hid behind the statue of my grandparents. I watched, petrified, as my father fought shadowlike creatures. There were so many of them and they were all fighting him at once, where were the guards, why weren't they helping him? The creatures just kept stabbing and slashing. My father was getting weaker and weaker, and I just sat there and did nothing to help, I did not even call for help. My body was frozen with fear. He finally fell after what seemed like centuries of fighting with the monsters.
I ran to him as the things disappeared. "Daddy...daddy wake up," he wasn't waking up, why wasn't he waking up, "wake up...please" I whispered into his ear desperately. He wasn't waking up and it was my fault. Quietly my mother walked into the gardens and stropped under the arch way. "Mommy...please tell daddy to wake up, mommy he won't listen to me." I sobbed out. My mother just stood there, holding one arm in a hopeless kind of look, tears streamed down her face making everything seem even more hopeless. I turned back to my father's lifeless body. Wake up," I screamed as I shook him, "Wake up...please." I then whispered in a barely audible voice. My mother than came up to comfort me, wrapping her arms around my small and frail body; whispering consolation in my ear.
End Flashback
Silent Tears spilled over my eyes, and streamed down my face. I didn't even notice them until my mother gently caressed my face and wiped away my tears with her thumbs. (In the anime has anyone wondered what happened to her dad, if u know the real deal than guju-grl and I would like to know.) "You know Serena, it was your father's wish to send you to Earth to continue your studies, but I was afraid..." my mother hesitated, "I was afraid to send you after what had happened last time." My father wanted to send me, ME, of all people, his little girl. Me going to Earth after his best friend had tried to kill ME.(You'll find out more on the subject later on in the story).
Mars barged into the room, interrupting my thoughts, "Sailor Mercury says that the portal is ready and that the princess may leave immediately ," she seems happy to see me leave, "Oh and Sere good luck on that mission!"
Author's POV, few minutes before
I think I know why Sere has to go to Earth!" exclaimed the bubbly blonde, Sailor Venus also known as Princess Mina of Venus, or the senshi of love, exclaimed breaking the awkward silence that had slowly built up between the girls as they sat in a crimson room. Three of the girls sat on a red lavender four poster bed that had red curtains hung around the posts. All were waiting for the Queen to finish her talk with Princess Serenity.
"What do you think?" asked the brunette Amazon, the Senshi of Lightning, Sailor Jupiter, also known as Princess Lita of Jupiter, asked her friend.
"Well I just had this feeling, you guys know how I can sense soul bonds," She waited as everyone chorused agreement, "Well do you remember how the Prince and Sere didn't get along at all," and a bit more too thought the raven haired (with a slight tinge of purple) priestess, Sailor Mars/Princess Raye of Mars, thought as everyone once again nodded in agreement. She may not show it but she cared for her princess deeply, she was her closest friend. "Well anyways I had this feeling, a sort of tug in my heart, when the Serena and the prince were talking, and a golden aura surrounded them in my vision, magical and normal. I think they are meant to be, and I think mother told that to the Queen before she died." She added bluntly, nobody liked the subject of their parents. All of there mothers, the past senshi, had died protecting their Queen. But Queen Selenity and her daughter had enough love in their hearts to fill up those empty spaces.
"You think that Darien and Serena are soul mates, Ha, are you crazy, those two couldn't get along if their lives depended on it." The Princess of Mars rebutted, "those two hate each other."
"Well I don't believe that Serena even remembers the prince. He might but she was so young then." said Ami, the Princess of Mercury, and Sailor Mercury, shaking her head, her dark blue hair lightly hitting her face. "Plus, Serena is probably there to learn new things, and to protect the prince, you know, kind of like how her assignment says. You guys the portal is ready, Mars go get Sere,"
Serena's POV
We walked down the hallways that I was so familiar with, I glanced at some of the paintings we passed. Two caught my eye; one of my birth; my father (wearing mail armor) and mother (wearing the traditional lunarian royalty dress, you know the crescent moon one) standing in the center of the painting with me ion a soft pink blanket. The old scouts surrounded my family with their year old daughters in front of them, wearing identical outfits. The picture next to that was of my first visit to Earth. Their were two very regal looking kings standing in the corners, their respective queens standing next to them and in the center, in front of them, stood a young boy of about four, with raven black hair and stormy ocean blue eyes. He was holding a small blonde bundle of three months, looking at it with disgust. Yet it was a fond kind of disgust.
The scouts urged me forwards, and there stood Sailor Pluto, daughter of Chromos, keeper of time, right next to the portal. "Puu what are you doing here?" Isn't she supposed to be guarding the gates of time?
"Wishing you luck of course," the garnet eyed senshi said cheerily, :and we wouldn't want you getting lost on the way their, right?"
"Good Luck Sere!" Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus exclaimed as we all came into a big group hug, Mina and I burst into tears.
"We'll miss you Serena." The scouts said in unison, now all of us were close to tears. I knew they would miss me, but it felt nice to be reassured. I would be gone at least a half a year if not a year.
"Princess, you should leave soon, before the portal closes. Remember make sure they don't find out who you are. Your kingdom and yours are not on the best of terms. ." Pluto said as my mother handed me the papers that would get me into the Terran schools. I stepped slowly into the portal, my eyes lingering on my friends then on my mother.
"Good Luck... my daughter." That was the last thing I heard before I was pitched into total darkness.
