AnimeAngel: Hey minna! Finally, I got the next chapter out! Did anyone miss me? ^^ Anyway, I know the whole Trunks x Serena thing was a little unexpected. I'm that type of person…I jump a little too much. -_-;; Anyway, I'll explain that part in this chapter.
Also, every time it says 'Flashback/Memory,' that means that it's a flashback but Trunks is explaining his feelings and what he thought at that moment. Okay? It's very confusing…I have a very confusing mind. -_-;; Please don't flame me!
~Trunks's POV~
I can't help worrying for Serena. I know she's very strong and can fight for herself but still…I can't help it.
I still cannot believe I just confessed my feelings for her. And I can't believe she feels the same! I mean, she never showed me any signs of feelings…but then again, neither did I to her.
I still remember the first time I saw her…how she made me feel like I never had before…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She was talking with Chi-Chi and my mother. I bent down my head, trying to hide my blush.
"Vegeta, Trunks, say hi," my mother said.
"Hello, I'm Trunks," I said as casually as I could.
"Hello," she said, smiling.
It was then that I got a good look of her. She had long, blonde hair, which was in odangos on her head. She had blue eyes that reminded me of sparkling sapphires. I felt as though her smile could light the darkest days, and warm the coldest nights.
My father was, of course, rude as always. I was rather shocked when she said might fight my father. She seemed to much of an angel to do something like that.
I heard my father call Serena "stupid woman" again. I watched as Serena began to get angry.
You know, you shouldn't insult someone who you know hardly anything about. In fact, you should be calling me Usagi-hime," she said.
"What does hime mean?" Chi-Chi asked.
"It's what you say at the end of a princess's name," Serena said, smirking.
I almost let my jaw drop. I couldn't believe that Serena was a princess! But then again, she did seem like one and was as beautiful, graceful, and elegant as a princess.
I panicked when I saw this monster come for Serena. When she transformed into Sailor Moon, I could tell she wasn't kidding about being a warrior.
When her attack didn't work, I was about to jump in and help her. But then, she transformed into a higher level and beat the monster.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I can't believe that man is Serena's ex-boyfriend. She deserves better than the like of him. He's nothing but a no-good, cheating, power-hungry…I could continue this list for hours if I had the chance.
"Kick his ass Serena!" I shouted.
Sailor Cosmos (Serena) smiled at me. She winked at me and gave me the thumbs up sign. Then she turned back to Darien. She glared at him. I saw all the different emotions in her eyes: betrayal, hurt, anger…all at that jerk. Yet, there was no hate in her eyes. Even after all that this guy did to her, she still did not hate him. She's too pure for that.
I cannot believe that this guy has to hurt her so many times. I remember the look on her face when he arrived at the forest.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
We all ran to the forest. I prayed that nothing bad happened to Serena. I glanced at her Scouts. I could tell they were praying the same thing too.
When we arrived, we all gasped in shock. For Serena was glowing and she floated into the air. She then transformed. She wore a long, white dress and a crescent moon appeared on her forehead.
"What happened to her?" I whispered to one of her Scouts, Hotaru.
"She transformed into Princess Serenity," Hotaru replied. I
looked up in shock. That was Serena's past self?
"Former Prince Darien of Earth, I had thought that you were the one for me. I thought you were my love and my soul mate. I guess you are not after all. Be gone, Prince Darien. Return to Tokyo. All your powers of being Tuxedo Mask or anything at all and your throne are now gone. Now, leave," she said. Then that idiot disappeared and Serena turned back to normal.
"Serena? Are you okay?" Gohan asked. I felt like an idiot; I just stood there, not saying or doing anything.
"Yes," she replied. "At first, I didn't want to hurt him or anything. But then, I finally realized the truth. How could I have been so stupid! I knew it was too good to be true."
I didn't understand what she meant. Neither did Piccolo, for he asked her what she meant.
Her eyes were filled with sadness. I could tell that whoever this guy was, he meant something to Serena. And it was breaking her heart to know that the one she loved, or thought she loved, had been using her this whole time.
"Sometimes at night, I always wondered how come Darien chose me to be his girlfriend and how was it possible that we were in love. I mean, I am a crybaby and a klutz and he's a cute, older guy. I should have realized he only wanted me for the power and for the…pleasure, as he said," she said sadly.
I had enough! I couldn't believe that Serena was beating herself up because of this guy.
"Forget that f*c*ing bastard Serena! He is the bad one, not you!" another one of her Scouts, Mina said.
"Yeah, I hope he rots in hell," I said. Finally, I said something.
Serena smirked. "So do I."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I can't help smiling when I think about what happened that night, despite the current situation. We also celebrated Serena's victory over her boyfriend. Too bad that victory was permanent.
I couldn't help feeling rather happy. I mean, her boyfriend was a real jerk, and since he's now her ex, that meant she was single. But I forgot all my happy feelings about that when I say her pale and tear-streaked face after she and Trista returned.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena was crying. "Crystal Tokyo…Rini…everything…it all…froze," she said.
I felt so bad for her. I wanted to rush over to her and comfort her. But I couldn't. I just stood there, watching.
I barely heard a word her Scouts said. I was watching Serena. But I asked a question out of curiosity. "So why did it freeze?"
"Because right now Crystal Tokyo doesn't have a king or anything. History has changed. Until Serena has found her true soul mate, Crystal Tokyo will remain frozen," Hotaru said.
I felt a sort of respect for Hotaru. She was rather young, yet she seemed to be wiser than most adults, like my father. I felt respect for Serena too. She went through so much…so much pain, suffering, and her life changed before her eyes. She was a regular girl one day, and the next…she was Sailor Moon, fighting for peace and justice for her planet.
I went through a lot myself. But fighting…that was my life. My father being who he was…it wasn't surprising that I was a fighter. But if I was a regular kid and never fought in my life…that would be a different story.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She went through a lot, not just before but also after she came here. The battles, the sadness…she's such a cheerful and pure girl, she doesn't deserve the pain she's been through. And that no good, ex-boyfriend of hers didn't deserve her.
Now she's fighting that bastard. I wish that I could fight him…I'd kick his ass all the way to the end of the universe. But I know that she needs to do this…on her own. But if she needs help…I'll be there right by her side.
All I wonder is…now that she and that bastard are no longer together…who will be the future king? Who will become her husband and Rini's father? Will she still exist?
I guess we'll find that out…as soon as the battle is over.
