AN: Okay, I've decided that I'm going to fix up a bunch of things and continue this story…I know its been a while but, how can I expect anyone else to read it if I don't like the format myself anymore? Well, I've got a few more chapters to refurbish, but it's a start. I've changed Usagi from a naïve teen to a more jaded…so things may not click with the rest of the chapters until I fix them as well…If you want to see how poor it was before feel free to look at them. I'm planning on getting this all done as quick as possible though so it may already be fixed.

Tell me what you think, and if anyone wants to beta it, my email is New Life Chapter One

It was seven AM on a Sunday morning and Usagi could be found looking through her clothes. She grabbed a pair of blue jeans that went just past her ankles and a long sleeved shirt that was a dark bluish black for she did not want to wear something that showed skin. She then brushed her long golden hair out and left it down and as she walked downstairs a plastered smile was placed on her face and it looked very convincing only those who knew Usagi perfectly could tell it was totally fake. In the kitchen you could hear a crash as the plates fell to the floor and cracked into a million pieces as the girl walked in.

"Usagi! Your up? I must be seeing things" her mom said calmly.

"No mom I just felt like a change."

And at that point Shingo walked into the kitchen still in his pj's, he sat down at the table just noticed his sister, he sputters "Your hair, your clothes...and no make up" a sudden clunk was heard as Shingo's body fell to the floor and Usagi turned back to her parents and plastered that smile on her face once again.

"I got to go to the arcade now...bye" and with that she walked out and to the arcade and a slight ring could be heard from the bell above the door as she stepped in.
She looked over to Motoki and saw he was rubbing his eyes "...Usagi? am I seeing things? Is that even you?" he said, slightly bewildered seeing her.

"Yes Andrew it is me" she could hear him sigh of relief and then a smile at her. She smiled back and walked to the table that was farthest from the door not wanting to bump into certain people.

About five minutes later Andrew comes over to her and sits down in the seat across from her. "So what's up, Waiting for the others? You'll sure give them a surprise for being..." He stopped talking seeing a single tear rolled gently down her cheek and drip off her chin leaving a wet trail behind.

"We're...not friends...anymore" she forced the words out.

"What? Why not?" he said.

"I don't know we just aren't"

He then asked his final question "what about Mamoru?"

She looked down at the table and spoke in a low voice "he broke up with me" and tears fell from her eyes, not the usual wailing tears but silent heart filled sobs.

He walked over to her and gave her a hug and said "let me get you an ice cream Sunday, okay" but she shook her head and he sighed walking off. She just continued to cry softly so only people at the nearest tables could hear. But what she didn't bother to notice was that four certain people were sitting at the table behind her.

Hotaru was the first to notice the crying and looked at Setsuna "who is crying?"

"Go and look" Setsuna said almost in a whisper, and that's exactly what Hotaru did, she peeked over the top of the seats and when she sat down her eyes looked saddened and blank.

"Its... Usagi" she said looking as if she could cry on the spot.

"Where are the inners?" Michiru said confused.

"All the way on the other side of this place just getting ready to leave"

"That's weird, why aren't they together?"

"If they did anything to Koneko I will hurt them" Haruka said on the border of concern and anger at the same time.

Hotaru just stood up and walked to the table Usagi was at and sat across from her with all the other doing the same except for Michiru, she sat next to Usagi and gave her a hug as Usagi continued crying. After about twenty minutes Usagi had stopped crying and Michiru looked at her "What happened?"

Usagi

All I had to say was one word for them to know this wasn't something to talk about in public "senshi"

"Do you want to come home with us for a while? You can call you mom and tell her your staying for the night" I nodded.
When we got to their house I looked at it, it was a fairly big. I followed them in and to the living room and they told me to sit down and I did. Setsuna, Haruka and Michiru sat in three chairs across from me and Hotaru sat next to me. All of a sudden Haruka's voice broke the silence "So what's going on?" she asked plainly and I told her

"It all started yesterday when I was late getting to Rei's for our normal scout meeting. I was on my way over when this guy came over and grabbed me, I tried to fight him but he caught me on surprise and started to…well, I think you get the point and he...ripped...my...clothes off…and…he…he…raped me" the tears once again flooded down my cheeks and I cried.

Haruka at the moment was steaming with fury but the only reason she wasn't screaming at the top of her lungs at the moment was because Michiru had given her a deadly glare. Then I spoke again for my story wasn't over I told her about getting my brooch and henshining and going to Reis only to find them in battle and a few of them were down and hurt but the fight was still on I killed the Youma and then how Rei had yelled at me and never even gave me a chance to explain anything and how Rei said I shouldn't be leader and everyone agreed with her. I was still crying from before but now the sobs were stronger and I had to repeat myself just to be understood. The last thing I told her about was that they told me they were no longer my friends and how Mamoru broke up with me, how he'd find somebody more worthy of being queen.

Back to third person

Haruka then stood up and embraced Usagi in a hug...Of course she was mad but she was more worried about Usagi also and so she held her in her arms and Michiru smiled but had concern in her eyes also. When Usagi stopped crying she looked up at Haruka, eyes red and puffy with a sad smile on her face and looked at everyone else "Thanks for listening to me." They knew what she meant, 'unlike her friends had'. All four of the outers now surrounded Usagi and hugged her.

"Why would we ever leave you?" Hotaru asked.

"Why would Mamoru leave me? Why would my best friends not care?" She replied.

"Because none of them understand you and don't deserve you either if they wont give you time to talk" Michiru spat out making everyone look at her like she was a monster.

"Okay who are you and what have you done with Michiru?" Haruka said and everyone but Setsuna (yes even Usagi) laughed. Setsuna sat in the chair spellbound for a few seconds and then stood up and turned to the group

"I think I will take a trip to the future and see how things are doing."

"Bye Puu, say hi to Chibi Usa for me" Usagi said dumbly. Setsuna winced at Chibi Usa's name because that was the whole reason she was going to the future in the first place, was to make sure she was even alive. She smiled at everyone and said "bye" and walked out of the house. Now

Michiru stood up also "I must go also" and with that she ran off.

Hotaru then turned to Usagi and asked, "Why are you making yourself look different Usagi?"

"Because in a way I am starting a new life" the rest of what she said was muttered slightly not wanting the two to hear...but they did "plus I'm not worthy enough to be pretty" 'just a whore, a common everyday whore' and she looked to Haruka "How much do you think it would cost to cut my hair like yours?"

"Umm about three hundred and thirty yen... wait...CUT YOUR HAIR! ... You can't cut your hair!" Haruka was practically screaming.

"Fine, fine" Usagi sighed.
About an hour later Setsuna came back sadly walking into the living room and clears her voice making Haruka look at her. Haruka then points to the two sleeping girls and stands up walking to Setsuna. "What's wrong?"

"I can't go through the time gate"

"Oh."

"Well if you want to know what happens to Serenity this is a huge problem" Setsuna responds slightly annoyed.

"I never said it wasn't" Haruka points to the waking Usagi "have a good nap sleepy head?" Haruka asked teasingly.

"Yes but now I'm hungry" Usagi whined. Setsuna and Haruka laughed but when they stopped they heard muffled giggles coming from the couch where Usagi and Hotaru were sleeping.

"Hotaru Tomoe!" Haruka scolded, "How long have you been up?"

"Long enough" Setsuna and Haruka looked at each other worriedly then Setsuna turned to Hotaru

"How much is 'long enough'" Hotaru giggled slightly

"Uhh...welll...um...all of it" Setsuna looked as if she was about to

faint from lack of oxygen or water. Hotaru then brought a chair over to Setsuna and she sat down thankfully. Usagi looked at them

confused "What's going on?" she asked slightly worried.

"Nothing" all three of them said at the same time.

"Oh okay..whatever..." Usagi said, thoughts on other things "now about that food?"

"Go eat whatever you want that's in the kitchen Usa" Haruka said smiling. For the next week Usagi was at the outers house not leaving for anything and Michiru Hadn't came back yet except for one night to get some things and let them know she would be gone for a while on business.
Hotaru sat down next to Usagi and looked at her with 'I want something' look and begged "can we go to the park Usagi? pleeeeaaase?"

"aw but I have stuff to do"

"you an do it later"

"Why doesn't Haruka take you?"

"Haruka-papa is boring"

Usagi sighed and gave in "Okay I will take you, but I get to do what I'd planned to do on the way there and back…okay?"

"YAY!" Hotaru squealed and went to the closet and grabbed their coats and they went off to the park. As they got closer to the park Usagi saw something that made her heart feel like it was shattering into a million pieces, she saw Mamoru kissing a girl...And she knew that girl...
