Rini ran through the streets of Tokyo, her vision blinded by the tears that fell from her eyes. It was peak hour, and the walk ways where crowded, no place for a little girl. There was no one around to comfort her, no one around to understand what they where putting her through. She cried even harder and wailed as loud as she could at the pain that they had both caused her.

"How could they do this to me" she thought to herself. "My real mommy and daddy love me and I know that they would never do anything like his to me. Ho can Darien and Serena both be so selfish. It's not fair! Don't they understand that their decisions may leave me unborn?"

Just as these words where leaving a faint trail in Rini's mind, she tripped over a businessman's shoe and fell onto the road. Everything went black.

Serena slowly approached the front door to her Tokyo home, dragging her feet and her heart behind her. Her day with the girls had no helped her feel any better. They had spent all of their time talking about her and not to her. They had argued restlessly for more than two hours. No snacks supplied.

Serena reached her hand forward towards the doorknob. Just as she did the door opened from the other side, revealing her mother, with a pain stricken look upon her face.

"Oh thank god you're alright" her mother cried as she hugged her teenage daughter, holding her in a death grip. Serena squirmed until her mother let her go. Curiosity spread across Serena's face.

"Mum what's wrong?" she asked. It was probably just Sammy again. She wouldn't be surprised if he had said that she had run away from home, just so she would get in trouble with her parents again."
"It's Rini" her mother said. "She was hit by a car, not even ten minutes ago. I've called your father but he and your brother went out fishing and he isn't answering his phone. We have to get to the hospital"

Serena's mouth went dry as her mother informed her of what had happened.

"This has happened to Rini because of me" she thought. "This is my- was my future daughter and I can't even look after her. I'm not meant to be a parent. I'm so sorry Rini" she thought to herself as she closed her eyes and followed after her mother into the car.

Once seated and fastened in she closed her eyes, trying not to think too much of what she had caused and what was going to happen to Rini because of it.

"She's not in a very good condition" the doctor said quietly to the two of them. "The impact of the hit went from the center of her body. As a result Rini may be a paraplegic"

"You mean she'll never be able to move again!?" Serena cried, her eyes filing with water. What would the King and Queen say when she told them what she had done?

"Calm down Serena" her mother said as she pulled her daughter close, trying to comfort her.

The doctor shook her head. "We won't know until she wakes up from her coma"

"Coma!" Serena cried feeling sicker by the minute. She doubled over and began to feel light headed.

"What will Queen Serenity think? What will the scouts think when they hear this? Will they disown me and dismiss me as Sailor Moon and their future Queen. I don't care if they do anymore. After this incident I don't deserve either title. Oh my god Rini, I am so sorry. I should have never have done this to you. I should have just sent you back to the future when I had the chance, that way you wouldn't have to be suffering for my decisions"

Serena's mother pulled her to her feet, tears overwhelming her. "We'll go and see her now" she said as she helped Serena along with her.

Darien stared at his black computer screen. He was supposed to be doing school work but instead he had been sitting like this looking at a blank screen since Rini had left his apartment. Every time the computer would show its screensaver, all he had to look at where the photo's of him, Serena and Rini. He'd move the mouse quickly to stop viewing them. He let out a deep sigh and stretched his arms.

"Maybe I'm just a bad boyfriend" he though. "Maybe that's why Serena had been my first and last one. I should have listened to Andrew long ago. I'm not destined for love, just lots of study and plenty of work."

Darien turned around as he heard a quiet thump at his living room window still. There sat Luna, her sharp eyes looking at him.

"Oh, it's just you Luna" he said. "Well come on in, it's not much but its what I like to call home."

"Stop with the small talk" Luna said in a professional yet sophisticated voice. There was a tone of sympathy in her voice as well as something else. Was that the sound that she used when going into battle?

"Rini's in hospital" she said. "You have to go and see her now!"

"What, how!?" Darien cried, concerned for his little girls safety.

"You'll find out when you get there" she meowed. "Now move!"
