A/N hey sorry this took forever to get posted. School is such a pain and it takes away time for me to write.

Chapter 5- I will tell you later!

Serena walked into the temple and sat down next to her friends. They looked at her in worry for she was unusually quiet and looked like she had walking in a dream.

After minutes of trying to get her attention and ask what was wrong they gave up. They were frustrated and upset that she wasn't answering them, but once morning came she was going to get answer from her, they would make sure she did answer them.

Serena noticed that after awhile the girls stopped pestering her and got ready for bed. They all pulled on their pajamas and laid their sleeping bags out on the floor, Serena included. But unlike everyone Serena did this all in silence. It was after 3 a.m. that Serena realized that everyone asleep. Crawling out of bed Serena walked to the window and looked at the moon above. 'This is the same moon I kissed Darien under earlier and then Tuxedo Mask only an hour later! But I did not mean to kiss him it just happened!'

Sighing Serena returned to her sleeping bag and climbed in. But only fell into an exhausting sleep.

The next morning Serena woke up and was surprised that she was the first to awake. Serena looked at the clock and saw that it was only half passed eleven. 'A new year, I hope it won't bring anything bad. And I hope that Tuxedo Mask kissing me is not a bad omen.'

Serena sat up and glanced at her friends who she knew would want answers. 'But what answers could I possibly give them. They just found out about Darien and me. And Rei would be upset if I told them that I kissed both Darien and Tuxedo Mask. I guess the best thing I can do is tell them they will have to wait for answers. There's too much that needs to be done but we have yet to do it. For months now we have searched for the princess and not gained one clue. I can't allow something to tear us apart at a time like this. Luna says that we are close to finding a clue that may help I can't pull the Sailor Scouts apart. I will just keep this to myself they will have to understand. We all need secrets.'

Within the next thirty minutes all the other four girls woke up. Rei yelled at Mina being the last girl to wake up. As soon as she finished yelling she turned to Serena and started pounding her with questions. "What happened with Tuxedo Mask last night? Why did you not tell us all about it last night? We were asking questions forever but you were in your own world."

"Rei shut up for a minute and I might get a chance to say something." Serena said standing up and surprising the girls with the tone of her voice. Quietly they listened as Serena say, "Nothing happened, I just got lost in my thoughts last night thinking about what happened the last few weeks. It's enough to dive me crazy I need a break, not have my friends question me about Tuxedo Mask asking about my hurt shoulder!" Tears slowly flowed out of Serena eyes and she did not even bother to wipe them away.

Her friends sat there looking at Serena with surprise and sympathy in there eyes. Serena grabbed her bag and went to the bathroom. When she reemerged she was wearing a sweater and blue jeans. She gathered all her things and turned to her friends. She saw that they where all going to speak but she stopped them by saying, "Give me a few days I haven't seen you guys since before the snowstorm, and now I need to sort out my feelings. I don't quite understand them but by Monday I should be back to my normal self. See you."

As soon as she said this she left the room. No one tried to stop her or say anything they all feared that she would really break down on them, more then she ever did before. Each of them did not want to see their leader break down; they all saw that she was on the verge of it.

A/N hey hoped you liked, sorry it's so short. More hopefully soon please review!
