Sorry this took so long, please let me know what you think. I tried really hard to get it out as soon as I could, I felt the need to have this one read first and my beta readers life as well as mine is very busy. Thanks to all. She edited it for me and has done an excellent job on telling me about some things that don't make sense. The next chapter has been written and will be posted once she has had time to edit it. I feel the next chapter may not be finished fully yet and I am in the process of trying to write these chapters in Dariens' POV. Let me know which chapters you would like to have Darien's POV. I'll post those chapters with Darien POV next to them the first one is coming close, but I'm going to post the last chapter first before I post his.

I sat in the Crown looking out the window, a week after the formal get together that Kunzite had organized. The booth that the girls and I used to sit in when discussing Sailor business, it was the most secluded of the booths
I sighed heavily as I thought of Darien once more; his life had been thrown upside down since we had met. I had never existed in his mind and then all of a sudden I appear out of nowhere. How the life I remembered and the life that I lived were two different things. I remember things that the girls say never happened. I remember feeling Tuxedo Mask's arms around me when he rescued me and I dang sure remembered Darien and the moment we had before he had been killed by Beryl and the pain of losing him. It was all as clear as day when it came to him, but the business of the sailor scouts was thick and soupy mud. I had hated being a soldier of love when I was fourteen, but I had embraced it as my destiny. But now I realized that to some people it had never happened, and yet the memories were in my mind. I realized that while my life was tough as a fourteen year old, remembering something that no one else did was much harder. I longed for the days when we sat around swapping battle scars and hearing Luna and Artemis lecture us about our duties, but most of all I missed the Mina who had trusted me always, the one who had believed in me, who always had my back when things were awry, the leader of the soldier senshi that had sworn to protect me. I never wanted her to give up Kunzite for me and I didn't wish for that now, but the hurt in her eyes and the betrayal that I felt emanating from her the night of the masquerade was hard for me to accept.
The people and the cars that passed by were a blur, my eyes full of tears as I once again began to realize that nothing I could do would bring back Darien's or the girls' memories. The silver Imperium crystal didn't exist; Luna and Artemis were probably ordinary cats with no memories of their past lives. Sailor Moon and the scouts had never existed. Sailor V was nothing but a fictional character. Without Artemis there was no Sailor V. Mina had never lived outside of Tokyo, and had attended all of the same schools as me.
The life that I knew was something of a mystery. I remembered it and for years I had thought no one else did. I had given up trying to make people believe me or even trying to find someone who remembered the past. But Kunzite had remembered and for the life of me I couldn't get the betrayal I felt out of my head. The feelings that welled up inside of me shouldn't have existed and yet they did. The life and the man that I know is not that of what it was a thousand years ago. I had not lived to see the betrayal of the four generals to Darien, nor had he. Their betrayal was only seen by the eyes of the ones that loved them dearly, the sailor scouts. I had died never knowing their treachery, but had been reborn with no knowledge of the men they had been. I had been born with no memory of my past life and had sadly been brought to a reality where Darien and I were the only ones supposed to be happy. The scouts had no memories of the generals other than the ones we fought against Beryl, their memories of their once lovers never existed.
I sat up and wiped away my tears. Was that how things would be again if Darien remembered me, Sailor Moon, and our past lives? I didn't want Mina to once again lose the man that she loved, but then she wasn't the warrior that I had known; she was someone that didn't have the weight of protecting a princess. She had the life I had always wished for, but a world with out Darien wasn't what I had wanted either.
My eyes scanned the people walking by, but I couldn't focus on anyone. My mind couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happened in the past and what was happening now. Mina, out of all of the sailor scouts had seemed to love it the most. She took her leadership role seriously and never seemed to be burdened by everything expected of her. She embraced it, she had once said to me, she said her life would never feel fulfilled without her duties. She felt she would never have grown to be the woman she admired, her mother, without the life that she lead.
My mother had commented that she would be a fabulous leader and that I could learn from her. She had also told me that one day she would not be there to protect me and would be ruling her own planet and protecting her people. I had not been happy about this; she was my best friend and the most loyal person.
"Life, Serenity, must be lived not controlled!" My mother had said to me the same day that the Moon Kingdom was destroyed. I would never forget that quote, for they were the last words of wisdom she had given me. I wiped the tears away from my eyes and suddenly noticed Darien and Kunzite walking across the street.
My mind was made up, Darien may never remember the past and that was okay, for then Mina would get to keep Kunzite and for once in my life I finally had someone to talk to about my fears, but I would never give up on Darien. I loved him and I wanted him to love me as well. The doors to the Crown opened and as I stood up from the booth, and Kunzite stood in the doorway.
"Kunzite?" I called, surprised, as he walked toward me.
He appeared to be distracted as if he wasn't looking at me, but at someone that he remembered long ago. And that was then that I heard his devastating words
"He's not there Serena, Prince Endymion does not exist anywhere inside him." Kunzite said stopping a few yards from me.
My eyes widened. He looked so forlorn. How could Darien not be Endymion, they were one and the same person.
I know it's only two pages it will in about a month be posted at the end of chapter 8. I may add an epilogue once Darien's POV has been added. What chapters would you guys like Darien's POV in? Let me know please, probably won't take me as long to update if you let me know. Chapter 9 should be posted hopefully within the next month I know I said that last time, but I actually have it written and sent to my beta reader. Please Read and Review and let me know what you think
