Chapter Four
I sit in the cab, watching the scenery passing by, and my mind is floating away to possible scenes. Would they be mad? Of course they would be! Would they be sad? Probably. Would Darien care? Probably not. I figured he was cheating on my anyways. Maybe getting in a few last kicks before asking me to marry him and becoming Prince of the Earth and Moon. My poor daughter will never be born and I am saddened by this thought. Even though at times she bugged the hell out of me I still loved the little bug. I feel a tear fall and I quickly wipe it away as the cab stops in front of my home. My home. It almost doesn't sound right in my head already. Stepping out I pay the fare and sigh deeply. Taking in a deep breath I walk up the front steps and let myself in. I can hear my mother cooking and my father watching t.v. with my little brother. Without acknowledging them I proceed up the stairs to my room. I look around the decorated room and shake my head. I can't believe I lived like a child. Taking a duffel bag from the closet I begin to pack my clothes in, my diary, some small stuffed animals, and of course the pictures of everyone and the picture of my daughter. I sit on the bed and cry silently to myself as I brush a fingertip along the glass. Why was I doing this again? Was this really going to help anyone? Was it really going to help me? I put the picture down next to me and I lay on the soft bed and close my eyes. For a moment I think I hear my daughter's voice and I feel more tears falling. I am sobbing now as I feel her light cold hand on my arm. Shaking me. She was here? My daughter was here? I open my eyes that are now red from all the crying I had been doing and I am surprised to see that her eyes are red too. Did she cry for me or for herself? She curls up onto the bed with me and I hold onto her tightly and I apologize to her. She turns to look at me and she tells me it's all right. That Darien was never her daddy. She just wanted to pretend that he was so that I could be happy. She wanted me to be happy? I smile at her gently and kiss her forehead and thank her for coming to me when I needed her the most. I breathe in deeply of her scent of wild apples and ask her to come along with me when I confront the scouts. She nods her head and we both stand. After packing a few last things I walk down the stairs and hug my mother and then my father and then of course even my brother. He looked so shocked with what I did that I almost laughed aloud if this wasn't such a sad moment. I walked out the door and out of their lives forever. I used the communicator and called the girls and Darien together for a meeting at Rei's temple. They all agreed to be there. Holding onto Rini's hand we walked towards the Cherry Hill Temple.
Bracing myself I walk into the temple and put my bag onto the floor before joining the others at the table. Sitting on the mat that lay on the floor I looked at each my friends before looking down at Rini for support. She smiled at me and held onto my hand as I looked back up at them and then I looked at Darien. I explained to them what was happening. I explained everything from the beginning. I informed that they did not know the true me and they never would. I looked at Darien and told him that we were no longer together because I knew that he had cheated on me in the past. I watched Darien as he tried to deny anything that happened and I only shook my head and told him to keep quiet. He did so quickly. I informed the girls that I was leaving and never coming back. I gave up my right to be Sailor Moon so long ago. As for giving up my throne as the Princess I for some reason believed that impossible because the Moon flows through my veins. It is my very existence. They look with stricken faces at me and I think I see a few of them crying. But they nod their heads and explain to me that they knew that something was wrong. That I wasn't fighting with my all. They knew I wasn't happy and they knew Darien had cheated on me but they didn't want to hurt my feelings by bringing it up. I am surprised by this and I cry slowly as I hug my friends one last time before grabbing my bag and holding onto Rini's hand and walking out of my old life forever. Hailing a cab I wait patiently as it pulls up and as I was putting my bag into the vehicle, did I get pulled back roughly. Sharp pain went through my arm as Darien grabbed my arm and pulled me to him fiercly. My eyes widen as he roughly kisses me and bruises my lips. This isn't supposed to happen! Darien had never reacted like this at any time! He is still holding onto my arm and I am trying to struggle away but somehow I am weak in his arms. Not the romantic weak but the drained weak. I watch in amazement as Darien raises a hand and hits me hard against the face. He is calling me a bitch, whore, slut, no good, and he goes on with his rantings. My heart is pounding and I wonder for a moment why no one is helping me. He calls me weak. Maybe I am. If I can't even stand up to him then what good am I? I hear Rini yelling at Darien to stop but he ignores her. Hell he is ignoring everyone around us. I don't think he realized he created quite a scene yet. The girls are now around him and trying to pry him away from me but somehow we are surrounded by a shield and it is impenetrable. How was he able to do that? Why hasn't he been able to show this kind of power before. My heart is racing with fear. What does he plan to do with me? Does he plan to keep hurting me or is he trying to kill me? My mind is racing with too many thoughts but all I know is that I have to escape from this psycho. I thought break-ups were supposed to be easy! I guess I was wrong. I cry out as he hits me again. I can't take much more of this. What is he doing that is draining so much of my energy? I look up into his dark eyes that are filled with hatred. I am bleeding. I can taste my coppery blood on my lips. Was it cut? The scouts are now using their attacks on the force field because I can feel the ground temble with each new attack. But the shield doesn't even budge.
It is starting to get dark. I can feel my breath coming out in hagard gasps as I try to breathe. My lungs are filling up with my own blood. I think Darien has hit me so many times that I am actually going to die without a fight. My mind cries out for Vegeta. But I don't think he could do anything now. I want to cry out in frustration but all I can do is whimper as he is telling me how Beryl and him were lovers while we were together. He told me everything in detail. I think I am going to be sick. He was glad that we killed her off so many years ago because the bitch was starting to annoy him but he was able to keep some of her powers. Powers he didn't show anyone until now. He was using my life energy to keep the shield powered and to provide him with unimaginable strength. I could hear his evil laughter filling up the tiny space and I cringe in fear. I am actually afraid of Darien. But I can't give up like this, can I? I lean forward slightly and I whisper slightly the words that I had used many times before, Moon Cosmic Crystal, and I quickly change into Sailor Cosmos. I am still weak but I grin at Darien before embracing him with a final kiss and releasing the energy from my body into his. I scream as the pain tears through my body and his screams join mine as my energy tears into his flesh. White flashes of energy pulsate in time with my pulse. Rushing but now slowing down to near nothing. I look at my friends one last time and I smile softly at my daughter as she is crying for me. Darien is on the ground. His body shudders one last time as he looks at me with a questioning look in his eyes. I don't think he ever expected that to happen in any lifetime. My energy is gone and the world is fading black quickly. A tear falls and I realize with a small laugh that I had been crying all day. I fall to my knees and the girls rush around me but I push them back and they stare at me before saying their good byes. Rini. She is holding onto me and asking me not to go and I brush a blood soaked hand through her hair as I whisper my last I love you to her. I want to sleep now. I just regret that Vegeta wasn't here. I hope he will do okay without me. I know we had only met but I hoped that I had affected his life somewhat. Closing my eyes I sigh as I can feel my heart slowing to a stop. Warm arms are encircling me and I can hear a man whiper my name. I open my eyes slightly and smile as I look up at Vegeta. He is holding me with such tenderness and I whisper to him that I loved him. And all is black and there is nothing more as my soul floats towards the heavens.
