I'm back!! Wow, I didn't update in over a month --. But I'm updating now so whoopy!! Did I say how old Serena was in the last chapter? She's suppose to be 17…

Disclaimer: Look at the first chapter.

-------------------------------------------------------!--------------------------------------------------------

"So, Serena, what have you been up to lately?" Lita asked as they sat down in the temple.

They sat down and started munching on chips. They were sad. Serena had never really recovered from Darien's death. Sometimes when she thought she was alone, they could hear her sobs.

Serena didn't answer and was staring at nothing. She turned to look at them, her once happy eyes were now dull and lifeless. The senshi would cry too, heart-stricken over Serena's change.

She didn't go to the arcade that much anymore. Her marks were surprisingly increased. They figured since she studied now. Yep, this was a whole different person. She was like a stranger to them that looked like Serena.

"Serena?" Raye asked.

When Serena didn't respond she started shaking her.

"No, not again." Mina said quietly and started crying silently.

It had happened again. She would go in a trance-like state. It was if she was in her own little world and wasn't aware of anything else. They couldn't snap her out of it. They had tried everything but to no avail, till she suddenly snapped up and claimed Darien was there.

Amy quickly called her parents. They quickly rushed over….

Serena's POV

Why isn't he here? He's supposed to be here! I can only see darkness…Darien! You left me.

The tears threatening to fall clogged her throat up.

Why did you have to die? I loved you! Didn't you love me? Why did you leave?

Her mind was whirling with thoughts and images of Darien.

I'll find you Darien. I can't live like this. No, I'll find you. And this time I'll never let you go…

'Serena…' a soft soothing voice called out to her.

It sounded so familiar…

Was it him?

'Darien?' she called back out with her mind.

'I'm sorry Serena. I don't want to see you like this. I love you…' At that moment she could swear she saw an image of Darien smiling at her.

She snapped out of reverie.

Normal POV

Every head turned and looked at her. She had tears streaming down her soft, ivory cheeks and her eyes were slightly puffy.

"Oh, Serena!" Mrs. Ikuko Tsukino yelled and pulled her daughter into a loving embrace, "Don't scare me like that!"

"Mum…I saw him." Serena said softly.

Her mum pulled back and looked into her daughter's eyes. There was so much pain and sadness it tore her apart.

"Darien?" She asked but she already knew the answer.

Serena nodded, "He said he was sorry. And that he loved Me." she said and missed out the other part.

"It's going to be alright dear."

Serena just nodded again as all of them shared an embrace.

In Serena's Room Oh Darien…where are you? What about the Silver Millennium? Crystal Tokyo? But you didn't remember those memories  I'll find you…But I need to get away from here…But where? Her English was pretty good, and she had a friend in New York…

"That's it!" Serena exclaimed.

She rushed downstairs with a smile on her face. Her parents were shocked. Their daughter was happy. It seemed like decades since she last smiled truly.

"Mum, Dad. I've decided to leave home." she blurted out, not wanting to hesitate for she might be afraid to ask.

"L-leave?" Ikuko asked Serena. Her eyes were misty as she held down the tears coming up.

"Where?" Kenji asked, seeing the pleading look in Serena's eyes.

"To New York. With Molly." Serena stated firmly, even though tears were slowly trickling down her face.

"D-does this have to do with….h-him?" Ikuko asked slowly.

Serena nodded.

They both sighed and brought her in for a hug, "Of course you can go."

"Thank you." Serena said and let the tears fall freely.

"Remember that we love you and you can always come here if you need it." Kenji said and he felt his own tears.

"I should start packing." Serena said and stepped out of the embrace and went upstairs.

The next step was to tell the group.

Somewhere far away…

"I see you are still watching her, Darien."

Darien turned around to meet a face that looked just like him but with longer hair, "Oh its you."

Darien had long forgiven Seiya but still held this hatred for him. Hatred for taking him away from Serenity. But Seiya also helped Serenity. He made her realize how much she loved Darien.

"What's she up to now?" Seiya asked with a raised eyebrow.

"She's leaving." Darien said and looked down to watch his angel again.

"Leaving to where?" Seiya asked, curiosity arising in him.

"New York." Darien simply said and watched as she opened the necklace he had given her and sighed as the soft music played.

"Why New York? She's running isn't she? Why is she running from all her problems?" Seiya asked angrily.

"Leave her alone! She's….she's running because she can't solve her problems." Darien said softly as his tears rolled down his cheeks.

"She's fine Darien. Don't worry." Seiya comforted Darien.

"No she isn't! Haven't you seen how she's acted? She's so sad. She's not Serena anymore! She's a complete stranger! She's crying herself to sleep. Her grades are surprisingly increasing but does that sound like the old Serena? I just want to be there for her…" Darien said sadly.

"You'll find a way Darien." Seiya said and gave a grin.

"I'm going to see her. She'll help me." Darien said and stood up from where he was sitting.

"No! You can't do that! She's already helped you! You've regained your memories and you knew what happened. Why make her suffer?" Seiya said exasperatedly.

"Because…I love Serena. And I know she does to." Darien finally said and walked off, heading towards his destination.

"Why are you doing this, Darien?" Seiya said and walked off in the other direction.

Yay! Do any of you know who her is? I think I gave big clues. And this is a happy ending with S/D so don't worry!
