NOTE: This is only a short chapter because I simply felt that this had enough said in it. This story is about three quarters or at least half way finished unless I feel like continuing on. Sorry about the cliff hanger, but it does at to the effect. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!

Serena yet again walked into Rini's hospital room. This was becoming a daily habit for her. All the other children slept, dreaming of the things that children do. She sighed at the sight of the little pink haired girl. Something about here when she was sleeping made you love her even more than you did when she was awake. Serena walked over to her and sat at the end of her bed.
"I guess I never told you how much you mean to me" she said quietly not wanting to wake the other children. "I'm so sorry I haven't been the nicest I could have been to you Rini, and I'm so sorry that I haven't always been there to protect you from harms away. Without Tuxedo Mask and the Scouts, I probably would have lost you a few times more than I would have liked" Serena paused and thought about this. There had been so many times during battle when she thought she wouldn't have been strong enough to protect both of them and get out alive.
She remembered the first day she had ever met her future daughter; how she had disrupted her caramel flavored bubble gum kiss with Darien. She recalled upon the times when she had been jealous of Rini because Darien chose to spend more time with that little pink haired girl rather than his moon princess.
"I'm so sorry" she said sobbing as she fell forward on the little girl, holding her in her arms. Serena's tears fell onto the hospital blanket, leaving streaks and little wet marks. Serena lay there for a long time, thinking about all the good times she and Rini had shared together. She closer her eyes, and clutched the hospital blanket tightly. She sobbed weakly, wishing with all her heart that Rini could hear her, that she was alive and well.
"I don't want her to be disabled because of me" she thought mindlessly, surrounded by her own guilt and remorse.
Hours seemed to pass and the blond big tailed teenager didn't move. She just lay there lost in her own helpless thoughts. As Serena lightly slept, she did not feel the Silver Crystal leave her body.
