Sorry, this took so long, but my computer wouldn't work. I don't know why, the damn thing just didn't work. X______X … I'd like to thank the people who reviewed my friend's story. I like the story and she said that she wouldn't continue it until she got more and … I WANTED HER TO CONTINUE! n_n … And the bold are like memories or recalling what other people had said. Italics are still English. Well, enough of my talking … onward and forward with this fic!

Disclaimer: … . … . … This no belong to me. But it will someday!!! Mwhahahaha!!! … Just Kidding!

            Rei kneeled in front of the sacred fire, her black hair flowing dangerously close to the flames, but she didn't care. From beneath closed eyes, tears streamed down her pale cheeks. She had betrayed her friend, but why? Usagi … no … Serena h ad kept secrets from all of them, but did it give them a right to meddle into a past that the girl obviously wanted hidden? She didn't know. Why did she do it? She was concerned that's why. Yes, that must have been it. Serena was her friend and she wanted to know what was hurting her. Yes, that was it. Then, with a flash, an image of Jed appeared in her mind. He was smiling and holding onto Sere. A tender smile crossed his face as he played with the child, love shining in his sapphire eyes. Rei's eyes shot open as she realized that Serena was just a tiny part of why she had gone to the men's hotel. She had gone for Jed.

            Lita slammed her leg into the punching bag hanging in her room. Sweat dripped down her forehead as she sent out a series of powerful punches and kicks, as if to destroy the thing. What time was it? Oh, yes it was midnight. Time to sleep, but she couldn't. Guilt and confusion ate away at her heart. Usagi was no more. There was now this powerful, silver-haired girl. No more clumsy, bright, cheerful girl. Only the cold, confused being of Serena was left. With a cry of grief, she slammed her smashed her fist into the hard material of the bag, sending it a few feet across the room. Slowly sliding down to her knees, she wrapped her arms around herself. It had all been a lie. And she was hurt that Serena had not trusted them enough to tell them. They had fought in battles together, trusting each other with their lives, but Serena had not trusted them enough. All these thoughts flew threw her head, but she knew that wasn't the reason she was confused. It was THAT man. Nephlite. Betrothed to Serena, he seemed to love the girl in a way, and Lita hated that. Why? She just met the damn man! But of course, it seems that the men had hurt Serena in a way and Lita was determined to protect her friend, even if she was no longer the girl she thought she knew.

Mina sighed, standing near her window. Serena's accusation rang in her ears, shattering Mina's heart even more.

"How could you? I thought you guys cared for me …"

The soft accusation forced tears down the blonde-haired girl's face. She DID care! She just wanted to help Serena!

 "…Traitors…"

"No! We're not traitors! We're your friends Serena!" Mina's cry echoed out into the still night, allowing her to hear the desperation in her own voice.

"IS THAT WHAT THEY TOLD YOU?! THAT, THAT WAS REASON I RAN AWAY?! WHY WOULD YOU ASK THEM ANYWAY?!  THIS WAS SOMETHING I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO FIND OUT!"

"I'm sorry, my friend. I never thought that we were invading your privacy until now. I just never thought … I never think." A bitter smile crossed her face as she thought about how everybody always thought that she was ditz. She had thought that she had found a kin in Usagi, but Usagi wasn't a real girl. She was just a fabricated personality that a desolate being had made up. They never knew the real girl. They never knew Serena. But someone did. The four men. Michael or Malachite or whatever the hell his name was. Why did a man need so many names anyway? His tortured face invaded Mina's mind and she growled, trying to push the image away. As the Senshi of Love, she could see that he had loved Serena with all his heart, but Mina knew that they were not meant to be. Usually, when she pushed, she could find who they to be with, but for some reason, she could not see his soul mate and it scared her. It scared her that she couldn't see into the man's heart.

Ami rubbed her bleary eyes, trying to keep her attention on her laptop. She had been researching the Thompson and Star family all night, keeping her mind away from straying back to what had happened today. It seems that a secret lab of the Thompson family located somewhere in England had blown up from an unknown source. Mr. Thompson did not have any comments. A few months before that, his daughter, Serena had disappeared without a trace. Searches had been done, but had been cut off after a few weeks, which in Ami's mind did not make any sense. The daughter of such a prestigious man had to have been searched for months, years even! Her gaze landed on the picture of the men who had been present during the explosion of the lab. It was the four men that Serena loved … er… hated? She fixed her eyes on the smaller man of the four. Zachary. His green eyes seemed to hold guilt, as did the others in the picture. His pleasant smile that she had witnessed earlier was not present, and the sparkle in his eyes was gone. He was also a man that had hurt her friend. Forget the fact that the girl had kept secrets from them. Serena had treated them with the kindness and respect that no one in the world held anymore. The kindness that had shone in the girl's eyes could not have been acted out, no matter how good the actress was. Usagi was a part of Serena, a part that was now going to be hidden away.

Serena watched as Darien slept on the couch. When they had reached his house, he had commanded her to go to bed and that he would feed Luna. Without a word, she had walked into the bedroom and as soon as her head had touched the soft pillow, she was gone. She had woken around mid-night and realized that Darien was not in the room and guilt punched her in the gut at the thought of him sleeping on the couch. Walking into the living, she held back a forbidden giggle at seeing his large body scrunched into the tiny space. His blanket had fallen off and she walked over, picking it up. Averting her eyes, she realized that he slept in just his boxers. Placing the cover on him, her gaze landed on his peaceful face and she froze, watching him. He really was a beautiful being. His mouth was parted slightly and a rebellious lock of raven hair fell across his eyes.

"You've grown to care about Darien." Luna came padding out of Darien's room, having slept next to the girl.

Ripping her gaze away from the man, she placed a finger across her lips and picked up the feline, heading back into the room. "Luna … just ask me what you really want to know." She placed her guardian on the bed and kneeled down, looking into the cat's eyes.

The cat took a deep breath, staring into the haunting orbs of her charge. She was so different from Usagi. "Why didn't you tell me in the first place?"

The girl turned her head, her eyes shut closed. "It wasn't that I didn't trust you and the others, I just wanted to forget my past. I've always been the different girl, you know? Oh, my god! Look at her eyes! Look at her hair! She's such a weirdo! Do you have any idea how rich that girl is? She's supposed to be some kind of genius. Her dad probably paid everyone to make her look like she's smart. She's a freak." Serena's tone was cold as she mimicked few of the many comments she's had to live with for most of her life. "You see, Luna. All I wanted was a normal life. And for a moment I did have one. Then, you came into my life. I became Sailor Moon and even then, my life was much better than it used to be."

Luna held back her tears as she listened to the hollow sound in the girl's voice. "And the girl … she's your daughter?"

"Yes, beautiful isn't she?" The whisper roared through the room, filling the room with Serena's grief.

"Yes, just like her mother." All Luna could do was tell the truth and the truth was that the girl held the same unearthly beauty that her mother held. "Serena, I want to know … um … why you left her." Luna's tail flicked nervously.

"Go to sleep, Luna." With that, Serena placed her hand on the surprised cat's forehead, allowing her power to lull the animal to sleep. A minute later, the cat was curled into a little ball on the bed, sleeping. "All will be revealed tomorrow, I promise." Placing a gentle kiss on the sedated feline's crescent mark, she exited the room and headed over towards Darien. Smiling gently, she pulled the blanket closer around him and knelt on the floor. Placing her head on the couch, she fell asleep, holding his hand tightly in her own.

"Kunzite, did you feel that?" Zoisite stood up and looked over towards the east, his eyes narrowed.

"Yea, but where did it come from? It was so faint." Kunzite stood up and closed his eyes, trying to concentrate on locating where the energy had come from. Nehplite and Jadeite watched the two men try to locate it, but they both knew that it was impossible.

"Give it up, you two. The energy signature was too weak and too quick for us to locate it. We will have to wait until it shows itself again." Jadeite leaned against the wall on the roof and frowned.

"It's written in the stars that we will find the source of the energy." Nephlite stayed seated and smirked coldly. "And it will the most powerful source ever."

The four men stood on the roof of the hotel, glancing towards the east every once in awhile, hoping the energy would interrupt their senses again.

Irene and Ken sat at their kitchen table, looking fifty years older ever since Serena had been kicked out. "Irene … I'm sorry."

She turned her head, refusing to look at her husband, tears trailing down her cheek. "It's both our faults, you for throwing her out and me for not stopping you. What does it matter anymore? She hates us. I know she does. How could anyone love us after what we did to her?"

"No, she's a kind and loving girl, she'll forgive us."

"Ken, that was Usagi, Serena is another person all together. We have no idea how her mind works. We never should have taken her from them. Never. She might have been happier that way."

"No! You saw what they were doing to her! We had to take her away, I refused to allow her to be tormented any longer."

Irene shook her head, her blue hair loose around her shoulders. "…No. You refused it because … no matter how much she looked like our daughter's murderer with the silver hair and purple eyes, she also held the innocence that Usagi held. With a change of hair color and contacts, we were able to make the girl look like our dead daughter and soon, we forgot who she really was … and that she wasn't truly our daughter. That's the only reason we took her in."

Ken bowed his head, his hands holding it up. It was true. He hated Serena Thompson for looking like the woman who had murdered his precious daughter, but he also loved her for acting and looking likeTsukino Usagi. His mind swam with confusion and guilt, pain eating away at his heart. The once happy couple sat haggard in their kitchen contemplating their guilt and purpose in life.
