Hi! I'm re-did the ending for this fic as the previous one was kind of crappy. I hope you like it this time.

===================================================

Haruka was stunned by the words. His mind quickly searched for the moment when everything happened...

flashback

It was the night at the beach when Haruka decided to throw a small party.

After the game, Haruka brought out wine. They drank as many as they could while Haruka kept on bringing out more. They spent the night drinking, telling jokes, humorous stories and sometimes teasing each other. They drank until they're all drunks and dizzy.

"Bye guys, see ya tomorrow!" Mina and Lita went back to their room. After several minutes, Raye and Amy gave up (Amy is actually drinking and drunk) and went back to their room, swaying from side to side as they walk.

"Go ahead Serena. I'll bring this... this drunkard to his room then I'll go to ours okay?" Michiru dizzily said. "I'm not a drunkard!!" Haruka protested. "And I'm not drunk! I'll go to my room a-" Haruka fell to the ground and he was laughing at himself as Michiru helped him stood up. Serena said goodbye and went to her room.

Haruka and Michiru came to the room like silly drunkards, laughing at simple things.

"You're so gorgeous tonight Michiru." Haruka gave the lady a kiss on the neck.

"Only tonight?" Michiru chuckled.

"You're always gorgeous." Haruka started to unbutton Michiru's shirt.

"Haruka please.... don't do this.....you're tempting.." Michiru tried to break free but couldn't. Haruka started to kiss her up and down on her neck. "...you're irresistible."

Haruka kissed Michiru hard on the lips as he laid her down on the bed. "You're mine tonight...." with that, they both lay on the bed in each other's arms, in each other's lips, in each other's body. They spent the night together, not actually knowing what they are doing.

end of flashback

==================

"Where could he be?" Serena pondered as she walked downtown, thinking of Haruka. She just came from their Senshi meeting and decided to take Haruka at the beach since she has no homework to do-or maybe she has but forgot it.

Suddenly, she thought of Michiru. "I didn't see her last night and at the Senshi meeting."

Serena decided to visit her. "Haruka could be there! I can also invite Michiru to go with us. Yes, that could be fun!" with a smile on her face, she set off cheerfully.

"First, we'll go shopping for some foods, then go at the beach, then we'll build huge sandcastles…" she was planning for their picnic until she realized that she is already near Michiru's apartment. She took the stairs excitedly and when she was about to knock on the door, she heard Michiru speaking.

'I'm pregnant.'

Serena was stunned that she couldn't help but stand there. Then she heard a very familiar voice.

'Michiru…I-I …'

'I understand Haruka. You're happy with Serena now and couldn't possibly marry me or have the child bear your name without your present relationship going off the cliff.'

'But what about you and the child?'

Serena was horror-stricken at those words. 'Haruka and Michiru will be having a child? When? Where? How?' Thinking of the answers to her questions made her forgot that she is still standing at the door. She had accidentally pushed the doorbell.

With her eyes welling up with tears, she couldn't make out whoever opened the door but was pretty sure that it was Haruka for his sandy-blond hair. She ran away from Haruka. She could hear his voice calling out for her. "Serena!!" She could hear his footsteps running for her, nearing her. She knew she couldn't outrun the wind but she tried to. But it seems that there is no getting out.

"Serena let me explain." Haruka has taken Serena by the arm.

"I've heard enough Haruka, I don't need further explanations. It's all clear to me. You cheated…" Serena almost choked on that word--"cheated". That was the last thing that she could expect of Haruka. Maybe she was too loose on her guard. Maybe she shouldn't have trusted him that much. He's just like any man. She shouldn't have let him have her. Darien may be a little cold but he never cheated on her like this.

"Listen to me Serena. Please. I didn't know what I was doing then. We were both drunk. I didn't mean to…" his statement was interrupted by a loud beep.

"Serena! You have to get here fast!! The daimon was out again and…"

"Yeah…yeah…I'm coming." Serena wouldn't let Mina finish her report. Somehow, she found this a reasonable way to get out of this place.

"I have to go." She freed herself from Haruka's grip and ran away. In spite of the fact that he couldn't transform, Haruka followed just the same.

"Sailormoon!!" the Senshi cried as soon as they saw Sailormoon arrive at the scene.

"Holy kami, what happened here?" Sailormoon was almost petrified at the sight. All her friends are in bad shape and looks like their energies have been drained out. Sailor Venus appeared to have hit a sturdy tree head first, Mars and Mercury could barely move while lying on the ground and Jupiter has blood all over her uniform.

"Behind you!"

And before our heroine could react, the daimon, out of nowhere, kicked her squarely on the face. Seeing it, the daimon is that of a martial artist type and it looks fairly tough!

Haruka was mad at this and attempted a punch on its jaw. Unfortunately, he lacked stealth and the daimon saw this, which gave it a chance to prepare for his attack. Haruka was thrown off at the side after a punch right into his stomach.

"Rainbow Moon Heartache!!!" Sailormoon attacked but as before, the daimon only dodged it skillfully. 'Damn!' and then the daimon disappeared.

"Where the…" and before she knew it, she was lifted off the ground. "Let me go!!!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!" Haruka stood up and charged at the daimon. He gave his full strength to give the monster a good punch.

And he did. The daimon was thrown off to the ground and let go of his grip on Serena. But instead of weakening the daimon, it angered it even more. Its eyes flashed red and it charged at Haruka at an amazing speed then did a roundhouse kick on him. Haruka was thrown and hit the post on the sidewalk. He attempted to stand but found out that he had acquired a broken leg.

 'Shit!'

"Haruka!!!" Sailormoon ran to his side. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, except for a broken leg." He, once again, tried to stand. "Owww!!…" He cried in pain.

"You'll pay." Sailormoon shot an angry glance at the daimon. She tried her attack again.

"Rainbow Moon Heartache!!!"

The daimon saw this and charged at Sailormoon after dodging the attack. It kicked her hard. She flew to the three beside Venus.

"We're really sorry, Sailormoon." Venus muttered before closing her eyes.

=============================

'Why do you affect me so much, Serena?' He gazed at the pale visage of beauty, lying on the hospital bed in front of him. "I'm sorry Sere. I'm really sorry. I know I shouldn't have done that to you. I shouldn't have left." It was a deep feeling of regret. He never knew why or how could he have thought of letting go of such pure love. Reality is bitter and it struck him like thunder. "I... I needed to find myself. I was too scared to hurt you... but I did," And now, he couldn't force the tears to come back to where they're from. He held her hand to his, "Forgive me Serena, forgive me..."

A golden light surrounded Darien's hand and the energy was passed to Serena's. The warmth of it filled her body and her soul and her spirit. Slowly, she regained her strength. Moments later, the golden light disappeared, and then Serena gently opened her eyes.

"Darien?"

"Serena, thank God!" seeing Serena wake is all Darien could ask for at the moment. She may not be able to forgive him of what he did, and he may not be able to get her back once more, but Darien decided that whatever happens, Serena's happiness would be most important.

Serena struggled to sit up while Darien immediately helped her do so. "Where am I? What happened?" she asked.

"You're in a hospital. You were badly injured at the fight and were needed to be brought here. How are you feeling now?"

Serena could see great concern and worry in Darien's eyes. She could not only see, but can actually feel it. She remembered, those were the eyes that she fell for. For a while, she almost forgot all the pain that he caused. But now she remembers. "What are you doing here?" she looked away for she cannot bear looking at those eyes.

"I..." Darien could sense the bitterness in Serena's voice. He reluctantly took a step backward, "I... came to see how you're doing. I'm here to take care of... you." Darien is scared. He is scared of Serena, and of being hurt, of being pushed away. He knew his faults and both guilt and shame eats him to no end.

"Where's Haruka?"

That hit the mark and Darien almost cried. He tried so hard to swallow the tears and speak. "He... he's in his room," he replied with a voice just above whisper. He can't speak no more, else he let his feelings burst from within.

=====

Serena wanted to see Haruka. She wanted to see how he is and if he's okay. But something's telling her that she should stay. Somehow, she is getting the feeling that she and Darien should talk. But what is there to talk about? All is done between the two of them. And it was definitely not she who walked away. It was he, Darien. It was he who hurt her. It has all been ended. She has a new life now and a life with Haruka. With Haruka? Serena remembered. He's having a child with Michiru. There's no way that she's going to get herself down on such a low level to be conceited and take Haruka for herself, away from Michiru and their child. But...

Damn it! She loves Haruka. But this is way too much for her to contain. It's way too painful. Serena had to admit, it's more painful than what Darien did to her.

"I'm sorry..."

It snapped Serena out of her own thoughts. Darien nervously stands on her bed side, head low. She watched him fidget on his spot.

"Serena... I'm really, really sorry. I... I love you. And I'm sorry for hurting you."

Serena heard it. Darien is crying and is struggling real hard to fight it back. He choked on the words as he kept his head low in order to keep her from seeing him cry. But she can see. Serena can see the tears slide down from his eyes until it dropped noiselessly to the ground. She never saw Darien like this before. She can feel him, the sincerity and remorse. She doesn't understand why or how she can, but every second, the intensity of the feeling grows.

Darien started to turn around and head for the door.

The feelings are growing faster inside her and it's making her head ache. Darien and Haruka... she has both and she has neither. The sensation is suffocating at the same time, leaving her all alone.

"Darien," he stopped in his tracks, but didn't turn around, "let me think about things." She watched him open the door and finally disappear out of the room.

She felt herself cry, and the tears are for herself.
