**Flashback** I had been on Mars, that day, not at the ball like the others. I was sick, and was unable to attend. How I regretted that day! I couldn't believe that I had been late to fight the negaverse..

Queen Beryl attacked the moon, I immediately heard a distress call coming from the silver crystal, no doubt sent out by the queen. I got up and transformed, immediately teleporting to the moon. It was too late. My sister, and all the other inner senshi were dead.

And Brian. He. was dead. Beryl had killed him; he had foolishly fought her by himself to save our kingdom. He had given his life trying to keep us happy. I'd never forgive him for that. Never.

We fought though. Pluto and I. We fought together. Pluto wasn't supposed to fight, she knew that, but she didn't want to see her only home destroyed. Neptune and Uranus had been killed while protecting our solar system, trying to stop Beryl from invading. Saturn had died when she performed her ultimate attack to kill the negaverse. She wiped out a lot of it, but it was all replaced. Queen Serenity warned me. She told us that the negaverse would probably be attacking soon; we didn't want to believe that they would attack us so soon. Pluto and I fought hard.

Pluto considered stopping time. "No don't!" Queen Serenity had yelled at her "But." Pluto never got to finish her sentence, for the Princess of the Moon Serenity, and the Prince of Earth Endymoin, were attacked. As the queen went off running, Pluto and I blasted the armies of people and youma that were coming after her. You could not have prepared me, no matter how long you tried, for what happened next. The queen pulled out her crystal and time seemed to slow down, and it wasn't Pluto's doing either. The queen screamed 3 magical words, 3 magical words that changed our lives forever.

"MOON CRYSTAL POWER!" and with that, the armies from the negaverse were wiped out, we were encased in bubbles, sent to the future, and the queen was dead.

**End flashback**

"That all happened so long ago." Brian whispered "WHAT?!?" I screamed out "I seen your memory, I seen you reliving your past. I saw it all. I seen you wiping tears away, tell me why.? I only saw the vision, I don't know what your thoughts were." "My sister was dead. What do you think?" I snapped at him, not wanting him to know the real source of my pain. I didn't know how to tell him that he was wrong, that I was his soul mate and not Rei. But, maybe he really did love her. Maybe he really did love Rei, and wanted to be with her and didn't want me, just because we were destined. And if he did, what could I do about it? I loved him and her, and if they were happy together then who was I to just show up and come between that? And besides that, what the hell was I supposed to say "Hi Brian, hey Rei, guess what? You're both wrong! Brian and I are really soul mates, sorry Rei, oh no don't cry, don't get mad this is fate. You'll find your guy" Riiight. How could I just say that to her "Even now. it still saddens you to think about that time, so long ago. I can see it, Rina."

"Yeah. Someone that was like a mother to me gave her life, my best friends, sister, and love all died and there was nothing I could do about it. What do you expect me to feel?" "Your love?" he questioned "He died in the fight." I mumbled, hoping he wouldn't see through it, hoping he wouldn't see the truth "Oh. You must miss him"

"Yeah I do." I said "That's too bad."

"Yeah it is" "Who was he?" Brian could have asked me any other question at that time, and I would have been able to answer with ease. Any other question, I could have handled "were Rei and I together then?" or "Am I right?" but that question. "A soldier" There, I gave my answer. As pathetic as it was, it had to be the only answer that he got. "Oh, like. a soldier on the moon?"

"yeah, something like that" "What was his name?" He did it again to me! That was another question that I didn't want to answer. "Brian was his name, things got kinda confusing around then" "I'll bet" Brian said laughingly. I forced a chuckle up as well, to satisfy him, "well, Rina. I need to be going. Here's my address if you get lonely or you need something. I'll be here for you. See ya." With that, Brian left me a little sheet of white paper then he walked out the door and left. I later found out that was his address. "Have a nice conversation?" Said a soft female voice behind me, I knew who that was. Pluto. She was visiting me again. "You already know, why do you ask?" I muttered to her. "You will find the black cat in the middle of Tokyo" And with that, she was gone. Oh great! The middle of Tokyo! That was a hint, I suppose, but Tokyo was a big ass city. I walked out of the door walking around the center of Tokyo; I had no idea where I would fine her. Then the thought struck me, she said I'd find the cat here, but not when.

I walked past a place with big glass windows, and suddenly I felt that I had to stop there. When I walked in, I seen why. Usagi Tsukino was sitting at the counter flirting with the guy behind it. I didn't know who he was. I walked up to the counter and sort of sat back and listened to Usagi tell the guy that I now think is named Motoki. "Can I help you?" Motoki asked me "Just getting away from the heat," I replied back, not really in for small talk "Alright, Miss. Hey, I've never seen you before. You new around here?"

"Yes" I replied, although I wanted to scream 'IT'S KNOWN OF YOUR BUSINESS, AND FOR ALL I KNOW I COULD BE DEAD BY TOMORROW SO DON'T ASK QUESTIONS!' "Oh, well, my name is Motoki Furuhata and this is my friend Usagi Tsukino."

"Hi, my name is Rina" I said to them. "So, Rina, have you met anyone yet?"

"Well, I know Rei Hino and Brian" "Oh. I know of Rei" Usagi said to me "In fact, you look a lot like her!" Usagi said, laughing. "Well, I must be off! Got to get home! It was nice to meet you Rina"

As I walked out I seen Usagi throw a test paper and hit someone in the head.. After it looked like the two of them had been arguing, they both went separate ways.
