Chapter One - Tragedy


The sun shone inside the window casting a shadow over a bed with a beautiful young blonde girl sleeping silently. She opened her eyes and stretched while giving a slight yawn. The girl looked over at her clock…12:10 "OH SHIT! I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET THE GIRLS TEN MINUTES AGO!"

She jumped out of bed and ran over to her vanity desk. She sat down on the pink chair and brushed her long blonde hair as quickly as possible. 'God…I knew I shouldn't have gone partying with Mina last night. I look trashed!' she thought as she put on her make-up. The phone rang making her jumped with shock. "Fuck…now my eyeliner is smudged!" the girl cursed as she picked the phone up. "Hello?" She asked.

"Serena…where the fuck are you? We've been waiting for you for almost a half hour!" came Mina's voice on the other end.

Typical Mina, she was always over-exaggerating. "It's only been fifteen minutes!"

"Same diff-er-ence!" Mina's voice sang.

"UHG! I'll be there in ten okay?" Serena yelled into the receiver.

"Fine slut…"

"Whore…" Serena smiled as she hung up.

Serena jumped into a cute little pink sundress. It showed off her perfect figure. She looked in the mirror, "Nice…" she complimented herself.

Serena jumped down the stairs and ran to the door, "By mom!"

"Serena…I need you to meet me in Central Park at three alright?" her mothers voice came from the kitchen.

"Yeah…okay whatever." Serena yelled back as she slammed the door behind her.


Serena ran into the pastry shop looking at her watch… 12:25. She found Mina, Lita, Ami, and Rei all finished with their goodies. She put one hand behind her neck and smirked. "Heh…sorry I'm late guys!"

"It's about time ho!" exclaimed Mina.

"I said I'm sorry what more do you want!"

The girls sat gossiping for another hour when Rei finally butt in, "Sorry to be a party pooper…but I'm getting bored. Why don't we head over to Andrew's Arcade?"

"That's a great idea!" Serena practically yelled.

"You just want to look at all the guys there…" Rei sounded annoyed.

"EXACTLY!" Serena and Mina chimed in together.

The girls all walked over to the arcade and began to play the games. Serena stood; mouth gapped drooling, at the surrounding boys. 'KA-CHING! Score fore me…' she thought to herself.

"Serena…why aren't you playing games with the other girls…" Andrew said to Serena…she obviously didn't hear him. "Serena!"

"Huh…wha?" Serena came out of her daze and wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.

"Never mind…" Andrew sighed. "I should have figured as much…"

"What's that supposed to mean" Serena glared at him.

"Nothing…nothing at all…it's just. Forget it."

Irritated, Serena gave Andrew a final glare before she made her way to the Sailor V game. It was her favorite. Mina was better at it than her, but she was coming close in score. 'Level 1, psh, easy shit' Serena thought to herself. Level 2, 3, 4, 5 passed by like they were nothing. 'Come on…gimme something harder!'

Just as Serena was about to pass the final stage she felt a squeeze at her waist causing her to jump. Serena was terribly ticklish. She swirled around to see who the culprit was. Those blue eyes…those deep blue eyes. They were beautiful…NO…what was she thinking? She hated Darien Chiba! She stood glaring at him.

"Nice to see you too gorgeous…" Darien smirked sarcastically. "You know…you really do look hot when you're mad."

Serena finally noticed he was still holding her waist with his hands. She smacked them away and Darien willingly let them drop to his sides. He gave her one last smirk and walked away.

'Goddamn it…' thought Serena, 'I was so close to passing the final stage!' She looked at her watch… 2:50 "OH NO!" she exclaimed. She hadn't looked at the clock since she was in the pastry shop with the girls. She ran over to Lita, "I'm so sorry, I told my mom I would meet her in Central park at three!" Lita rolled her eyes as Serena ran out the arcade doors.


'Oh…I hope Serena likes this necklace I bought her,' Serena's mother thought to herself thinking of the jewel already wrapped away in the bag. She already wrote a note on the little card too!

Serena – I can't believe you're already 18! It's seems like yesterday your father, let him rest in peace, and I brought you home. I won't blab on, I just wanted to let you know I love you. –Mom

Serena was going to be turning eighteen in only one month, but her mother couldn't resist getting her a gift ahead of time. Just as she finished reading the card she noticed a pair of flashing lights…they were coming right at her.


Serena looked at her watch… 3:15. 'Where is she!?' she thought to herself. 'She's never late! How could she forget me like this...' A sudden sense of worry came over her. Maybe something had happen to her mother. She got up off the bench she was sitting on and ran home as quickly as she could.

Coming up to her house she saw a police car. 'Why the fuck are they here?' she thought. 'Oh shit…maybe they found out about the twelve pack Mina and I stole last night…'

One of the police officers in the car noticed her and came up, "Hello miss, I'm Sergeant Miles. Might you be one of the residents of this house?"

Serena nodded her head. 'How the hell did they find out about the beer!?'

"Might you by chance be Miss Serena Tsukino?" asked Sergeant Miles.

"Mmhmm…" Serena murmured with a nod.

"May we come in?" questioned the officer. Again she only replied with a nod.

Serena led the two officers into the living room and sat them down. "Would you like some tea or anything?" she offered.

"No, no we're fine… Might either of your parents be home?" asked Sergeant Miles.

"I don't think so, I only live with my mother. My father passed away when I was five," with the last remark a look of pain covered the sergeant's face. 'What the fuck,' thought Serena. Thunder was heard outside and it began to rain.

"I…I'm sorry I have to be the one to tell you this Miss Tsukino…but your mother was killed, she was hit on the side of the road by a drunk driver."

"Wha…what?" Serena stuttered with shock.

"We have collected the items she had with her and will gladly hand them over to you after you sign some papers. Unfortunately, since you are a minor we cannot allow you to go on living alone."

"That's ridiculous!" Serena steamed. "I'm turning eighteen in a month!"

"I'm sorry Miss Tsukino…but I do not make the laws. Do you by any chance have family in the area?"

"N..no," tears began forming in the corners of her eyes. "They all live over in the United States."

"Would one of your family friends be willing to take you into their care…until you come of the legal age that is…"

"I…I suppose…" Serena stuttered. She couldn't hold it back anymore. She just let go. How could fate be so cruel to her? Why her? Why not someone else? She couldn't stand being in the same room with the messenger of her mother's death anymore.

"We…must be going now," stated the officer. "All your possessions and this home will be in government care until you are of proper age to take care of it." With that the two officers left her home.

Serena's knees felt weak. She collapsed on the floor and began to sob her heart out. She didn't want to be in this house anymore…it was stuffy and she didn't like it. Serena grabbed an umbrella and bolted out the door. She didn't know where she was going…but she knew she couldn't stay in that house.


Serena found herself wandering around Central Park. 'Why did I come here…' she thought with a sob. Something drew her here. Fate drew her here. Serena kept walking along her path with her eyes glued to the ground. She bumped into something and fell backwards onto the hard ground. Looking up she saw…none other than Darien Chiba himself.

"Pay attention to where you're walking…" he teased.

"What about yourself!" she spat back.

Darien was startled at her tone, she had never snapped at him like that. Their remarks were all play, nothing serious. He noticed her puffy eyes…she had been crying. "What's wrong Serena?" Darien looked her straight in the eyes with concern.

"I…I can't talk about it…" she looked away.

Darien lifted her chin so she looked him straight in the face, "I'm all ears."

Serena looked into those beautiful blue eyes. He had never looked at her that way before. So much feeling were in those big blue pools. Serena and Darien sat on a near-by bench and she told him her story, her mother's death, no family this side of the Earth, and the law not allowing her to stay in her own home until she was eighteen. Darien never took his eyes off her. He made her feel like there were nothing else in the world besides her those few moments.

"Serena…" Darien said in almost a whisper. "I know how you feel…"

She looked at him in shock. How could HE of all people know how she felt. She just lost her mother, and now he was telling her that he knew how she felt. She looked at him with disbelief.

"I too lost my parents. They died when I was only six…in a car accident. I was put into an orphanage, their money all put into trusts for me. I know how you feel Serena." Darien looked at Serena, she was pretty even when she had been crying. He leaned over and embraced Serena in a hug.

Serena willingly let him hold her. That's what she needed right now, someone to just hold her. She took a deep breath inhaling Darien's scent. Darien let go of her and suddenly she felt as though something was missing from her.

"Serena…I would be honored if you would stay with me. My apartment has two bedrooms." Darien suggested.

Serena paused for a moment…she didn't know what to say…
