Darien sat down in the hospital chair next to the little girl whose heart he'd broken. Rini lay there motionless, most likely unaware that Darien was sitting there, watching her, hoping for any signs of movement.
When he had first arrived at the hospital he had found the room utterly deserted, letting himself in without being noticed by any of the hospital staff.
He grasped Rini's small fragile hand lightly and moved closer to her. She looked so much like Serena it hurt him to look at her, yet he continued as a reminder of what he had caused.
"I'm sorry darling" he whispered. "I never meant for any of this to happen"
Darien hesitantly looked up when he sensed the presence of another being in the room. There stood Serena, her arms lightly cross from the cold. Her blue eyes looked like they had been crying again, from which incident though he didn't know.
Serena just looked at him and began to talk away. She would come back some other time when he wasn't here. After all he had a right to see Rini too; he was her father after all.
"Serena, wait" he forced out not sure if he had wanted to speak up or not. Surely enough, the stubborn girl with the golden pig tails turned around to face him, a look of pure sadness spread across her face.
He didn't know what to say to her. He had gotten her attention but had nothing to say. Instead she was the one to first speak up.
"She would be happy to know hat you had come to visit her" she said in a hush tone, looking at the hospital tiles as she spoke. She had not accounted on seeing Darien, she had been more concerned with Rini's health and well being than what Rini's future father would do.
Darien brushed a piece of Rini's hair off of her face. "I should have looked after her better" he said. "I should have told her how proud she made me feel to know that some day she would be my daughter. But I let her down. I wasn't there when she needed me the most and because of that this is where she is now. I don't know what to do without her."
Serena blushed at this. "I could have sworn he was talking about me as well then…" she though to herself but quickly dismissed the thought as wishful thinking.
"What happened to us Serena?" Darien asked daringly, his forehead resting against Rini's smooth hand, his hand still clutching it lightly. He closed his eyes, not sure if he wanted to hear her answer or not. Unknown to him, a faint golden aurora started to glow around his and his future daughters hands.
There was silence for a few moments until Darien let go of Rini's hand and looked up. Serena was gone.
"I am Sailor Moon, champion of justice. I will right wrong and triumph over evil, and that means you!"
"But I'm not Sailor Moon anymore." She thought to herself. "Well at least no one will let me once the other girls have learnt what I've done."
"Oh Rini" she cried. "I've lost both for you"
