CHAPTER 1
Her room was almost completely bare except for the bed, the small table besides it, the dresser, and a picture beside her bed. As Serena packed the few clothes and personal belongings that she owned into duffel bag, she put the picture in too. It showed five smiling girls in school uniforms, and a guy all talking and laughing together. Serena looked at the guy in the picture and her eyes welled up. "Darien," she thought to herself."My lost love."

"Last call for Tokyo, gate 34, last call for Tokyo, gate 34" blared the sound system at the airport. Serena quickly boarded the plane, and gradually fell asleep. And after many tedious hours on the plane, the flight was finally over. As she stepped out of the airport and took a deep breath of the first fresh air she had tasted in days. How good it felt to finally be back home. She hadn't realized how much she had missed the place until that moment.

She got onto a taxi, and it drove her in front of her old house. She was about to get off the taxi, when she shook her head. What was she thinking? After she had abandoned her family years ago, then to show up all of a sudden unannounced? She doubted she would get the heartiest of welcomes. Instead, she told the driver to go the Rose Springs Graveyard.

Serena looked out the window at the all-too-familiar streets as the taxi slowly drove down the streets. All the places she had loved in her youth. The arcade, the ice cream parlor, even as she passed the book store she smiled. And there, up ahead, was Rei's temple. Upon seeing in she quickly turned her head away. Then, as the cab was stopped during a red light, she saw it. A tall figure, with long blonde hair, and a very familiar face. The person had been walking down the street carrying groceries, but spotted Serena's face in the window, and curiously turned her head to look. Serena hurriedly turned away.

As she got off the cab and paid the taxi driver, she sighed. That had been close. Mina had almost seen her...
~*~*~*~*~
As soon as she stepped into her cramped and messy little apartment she quickly dropped the groceries and ran to her phone. She dialed the numbers and waited.

"Hello, Amy Mizuno speaking," said the other side of the phone.

"Yeah Ami, it's me, Mina. I was walking down the street today, and I could have sworn I saw Serena in a taxi."

"Are you sure?" Ami asked, sounding surprised. "It could have just been someone that looked like her, and beared some resemblance, but it probably wasn't her."

"I'm positive," said Mina. "I'd recognize that face from a mile away."

"All right then," said Ami."I'm coming over, and don't tell Rai about this. She still blames Serena for Lita." And with that, she hung up the phone.

Mina listened to the silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and then set it down. She shook her head. What could Serena be doing back here after all these years? How could she come back, knowing that she had ruined their lives so much.

Serena knelt in front of the gravestone with her head down, so that no one could see the tears streaming down from her face. On the gravestone it read "In the loving memory of Darien Chiba". She stifled a sob, and dried her tears. She told herself over and over again about how it had not been her fault. She had gotten up to leave, when suddenly she saw a gravestone close by to it, and she went over to read it. As she moved aside a few weeds covering it she saw that it read "In the fondest memory of Lita Kino." She gasped, and backed away. She suddenly felt a hand on each shoulder and two voices said in unison, "I think we can explain this..."
