Hello all, now this is where the story starts getting a bit more adult, there is a very good reason why this is R, so if you're not old enough to read this, or can't handle what's being said, then i suggest you go back to one of my more resonable fics. This fic is rather dark and isn't the usual fairytale.

With that done, thank you to my reviewers! I hope this chapter is up to standard. Usagi and Mamoru will probably meet next chapter, so enjoy this for now.. its here to show you what Usa has become.

Love Goddess!

2: Changes

Mamoru had spent the last year and a half travelling; he'd been sent a letter from a very prestigious university in America, and had decided to check it out. But that, of course, had lead to him wanting to see more, first of America, then Canada, then Europe.

Motoki, as usual, had been looking after Mamoru's things, and was eagerly awaiting the return of his best friend.

I wonder what his reactions going to be when he meets the new Usagi… She's definitely not the person she was when he left; and if he thinks she's going to tolerate his bullshit, well he's sadly mistaken. Motoki was pensive today, there were very few customers, and he'd already cleaned the place to perfection.

I remember the first day she came back here, after a week away…

Flashback

Usagi walked into the Crown, startling the whole room, none of them recognized her; and that's just the way she'd wanted it. The new Usagi walked with a confidence, flaunting her body. Nothing affected her, she was as cool and calm as humanly possible, and sometimes more than humanly possible.

Her heart was ice, not even the usual teasings and tauntings of Mamoru affected her, at least, not for the first few days. Then he had disappeared without a word. And Usagi's confidence skyrocketed, she became even more of a skank.

Usagi's old wardrobe was gone, the cute tops and skirts replaced with mini-skirts so mini that they looked like belts, and tops about 2 sizes too small. But of course, she could get away with it. Gone was her characteristic clumsiness, her sweet innocent charm, her care for her friends. It was all about Usagi now.

On that fateful day, the doors to the Crown had opened, revealing the most stunning blonde anyone had ever seen. They all turned to stare, the guys undressing her with their eyes (not that there was much to take off) and the girls glaring in envy. She had walked towards the bar and ordered a salad sandwich, sitting down as she spoke. Her skirt rode up ever so slightly, and all the men in the arcade gasped. She had the legs of an angel, perfectly tanned and rounded, not a flaw could be seen.

This girl ate delicately, taking only a few bites of her now delivered sandwich, before stopping to look around. Motoki took in her face more carefully, there had been something familiar there, and he had no idea what.

Motoki looked closer, the girl was wearing just enough make-up, in the less-is-more style, giving her a very natural look. He tried to look past the make-up, and then it came to him-

"Usagi?!" Motoki gaped, staring at the girl in front of him.

"Yes, Motoki?" She had asked calmly, "Something wrong?" Her voice was no longer the sweet, childlike voice it had been a little over a week ago. This voice was sultry, sexy, and intimidated every man in the room. They were all now imagining her in bed, and that barely helped matters.

Motoki himself had noticed a bulge occurring in the lower region of his body, and it was distracting him something terrible, "When did you.. my god Usagi!" He was completely and utterly stunned. The girl he had thought of as a little sister had become the woman of his dreams.

"hmm, Usagi.." She thought out loud, "Sounds a little too much like a little girls name, call me Serena. It seems so much more… sexy," she said finally, drawing the last word out.

Motoki choked, if only he could take her into the back room and.. well that was enough of that. "What happened?!" He demanded, trying desperately to control himself.

"I decided that I was sick of trying to be someone I'm not, like the real me?" Serena was cold, direct, not leaving anything to the imagination.

"I-i-wow.." Motoki was shocked out of his mind, of all the people!

"Want to see more?" She asked, her voice becoming even more sultry, and each man in the room knew exactly what she was offering, and wanted to be Motoki.

"I-I-yes!" he shouted, losing control of his hormones.

"Why don't we go to that little room out the back then, I'll show you anything you want."

End Flashback

Motoki smiled in remembrance, that had been a very good day! But anyway, Serena's reputation had stemmed from that day, and nobody ever thought back to Usagi anymore; she was Serena, and that was the way she was always going to be, or at least, until somebody showed her there was more to life than sex and drugs.

At Rei's

Rei, Mina, Mako and Ami were all gathered at Rei's house, once again studying for their high school entrance exams. Their little group hadn't been the same since Usagi became Serena. She never spoke to them anymore, acting as though they didn't exist. It was as though their whole friendship had vanished overnight.

The study sessions had become boring and lifeless, with no Usagi to make little jokes about the work.

They all missed her terribly, but there was no way for them to save her. That task was for another, another who would be home very, very soon. The one who had caused all this in the first place.
