No one said anything for a moment. There was dead silence.
Finally, Sailor Venus spoke up. "Wow, I think we are going to go. I am sure that you two have some stuff to work out," she nodded at Tuxedo Mask and me. Tuxedo mask gave her a nod back but I remained motionless.
"Nah, I really don't think we have to go," Sailor Mars said stubbornly.
"Yes we do," Jupiter rolled her eyes standing up with Venus and Mercury practically dragging Mars behind.
"Sailor meeting at the temple in two hours," Amy called over her back.
I stared at the top of Rini's head as the sailors left and I could hear Darien coming toward me.
When he reached me, he gently placed his hand on his forearms.
"All this for a DREAM?" I asked rather harshly my eyes filling up with tears.
"Sere-"
"No," I said trying to keep my voice down so I wouldn't wake the child who was in my arms. "You hurt me so much. You broke my heart. You made me practically give up on living."
"Serena, no," he said sternly locking eyes with mine. "I rather be a thousand miles from you than if you were dead. I can't stand the thought of you not being alive."
"What's the difference? If I'm dead we can't be together or if we are apart then we can't be together."
"There is a difference. I can stand the thought of never seeing you again. And Serena, you know how I am with my dreams. It was with my dreams that I found out about most of my childhood. It was dreams that helped me realized that I was Tuxedo Mask and they help me find the moon kingdom princess. If you died, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself."
My eyes instantly filled up with tears and even a few slid down my cheeks. I was being so unfair with him. "You're right, Darien," I choked out. "I am so so sorry, I know you didn't do it on purpose. It just hurt me so much."
His hands brushed my tears away. "Ssshh. It's okay. Don't be sorry. I'm the one who's sorry. Do you understand?"
I nodded not saying anything, and Darien being careful not to disturb Rini, bent over and kissed the sweetest kiss I have had in a long time.
Darien pulled away placing his forehead on mine.
"I love you, okay? I love you so much."
I swallowed. "I love you too."
"And I am going to do everything I can do to make up to you, okay?"
I breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay."
At that moment, Rini woke up. "Mommy?" she asked groggily.
I gave her half a smile. "Kinda."
It took her a while to process where she was and everything that had happened. But once she did, her eyes widened. "So you and Darien are my parents in the future?" the pink kid asked her own eyes filling with tears.
"I think so munchkin," Darien answered her softly.
Rini immediately dove in a hug into Darien and my arms crying softly. "I miss them so much."
"It's ok," I whispered to her as Darien and my arms tighten around our daughter, "we'll protect you.
Aw, wasn't that cute? I promise in the next chapter there will be more action and we'll get to see what happens in Crystal Tokyo. I haven't written since June. Gooooosh. I would like to thank the two reviewers: Jaynie and Eo. I appreciate it so much. And sorry the chapter was so short. I'll try to write longer. And please do review guys. As always, Sailor Moon es no mine. She belongs to Naoko Takeuchi. Till next time, peace:-D
