Chapter 6

Across town, in the wealthy part of Juuban city, Darien was stood at his balcony, his eye's staring hard and cold into the distance. It was only 5.15 and the sun was still facing down on the earth's surface. He placed his hands into the pockets of his dress pants and smirked when he felt an arm link with his "So when do you plan on trying to do this?" turning his head to the red haired teenager, he placed a grip on her chin giving her a passionate kiss.

"I'm going to wait a little longer so she can be on her own without them pesky guardians, once we are rid of her then you will become the new queen and we will rule earth together." The girl looked out towards the distant city, "Good, because I will make sure she pays for all the things she neglected to me. An her god damn mother too hmmm I think I might give her mother a visit again. Try out my new powers my love."

He could see the evil glint in her eye's and he loved every bit of it, "I will have what was meant to be rightfully mine 1000 years ago Molly, and I will have someone at the side of me that I can trust which is you. Your best friend betrayed you and I will make sure she suffers because of it."

Molly smirked, her eye's flashed slightly red before going back inside "I will make sure her family has a little wake-up call while we're at it, I'm pretty sure they would love to know what Serena's true identity is and how she's lied to them"

Back with the Senshi at Gems studio Serena was sat in Emeralds ink chair, her knee propped up with her head facing the left, "This is going to look so wicked Ren, you sure Aunt Irene is ok with this?" "Positive, my ma's coming in here on Thursday for a piece done too, I managed to squeeze her in she doesn't trust Rubious with a needle and you're not working. My old man though might freak again."

Emerald laughed as she began to place the transfer the side of Serena's neck, it went from the back of her ear down to halfway on her neck. "An once again, you've designed a right beauty! A blue rose going round a silver crescent moon and star in the corner, I'm going to enjoy doing this piece dear."

This time sat next to Serena was Lita, the other three girls had to leave early but since Lita doesn't have a curfew she thought she'd stay and catch up with her. Lita could feel the excitement in her princess from getting this piece done, and she was amazed herself, When Emerald began going along Serena's neck with the outlining needle she didn't even flinch "Man Serena how can you stand the pain?" the girl just grinned, "The next is the least painful place to get a tattoo, you'd be surprised on how many people have said to me that it feels like you're going into a light slumber me ma's allowing me to get this one done due to my outstanding grades and I also think she feels guilty about keeping some memories from me."

Lita had heard off Rei about what had gone down with the hospital the day before, and she really wanted to kick this Melissa's arse for causing her friend so much pain. In fact the name Melissa Jones had sounded familiar to her she just needed a picture to go with the name due to juuban high had just got a new transfer student in her class but she wasn't really paying any attention that day.

"I see, So what's planned after this?" Serena just shrugged as Emerald had stopped on her neck for a moment to get a little bit more ink on her needle "Clean down, go eat and relax at home your welcome to come over Lita my mother enjoys it when she has your help cooking in the kitchen" that made the Jupiter scout happy to know, she was about to speak up but the shop door opened up to reveal Beryl there, "Aunt B! what you doing here?" the woman raised her eye brow and sighed "Your mother told me that you're getting more ink on your perfect skin. Plus I wanted to spend some time with my Niece that I've not seen in 7 years!"

Serena laughed until Emerald hit her on the head, "It's hard to get this right if you keep laughing! Unless you want it to look like a weird mickey mouse then I suggest you calm down girl!"

Lita watched Beryl with caution, she wasn't too fond of finding out that this woman was blood related to her princess, "Well we wouldn't want that happening sweetie I don't know how you can even stand that thing going into you." She stuck her tongue out at her aunt "Well you know for a fact I don't mid needles at all in any case you find out what's for dinner? I'm starving!"

"You're always hungry Sere! I'm surprised Andrews not out of food by the way you chow down at the arcade." Emerald couldn't help but laugh at that one, "The only thing he runs out of is the fudge cake, but why are you starving? You told me you ate a big lunch." They all noticed Serena being slightly quite after that comment. Her eye's hardened a little bit, "I couldn't eat much today at lunch… I think it's what that Melissa said to me yesterday… Bulldozer…..i began to remember I use to get tormented about my weight in Osaka high, so all I managed to eat was a salad." Serena gripped her stomach, when she felt Emerald stop with the needle. She placed it down on the table before grabbing a chocolate bar out of the fridge.

"You know the rules Serena, and ignore what that girl said your no bulldozer, in fact your skinnier than what you use to be 2 months ago. You know that you have a high metabolism and that you need your food." Serena sighed as she stretched slightly she noticed Emerald laying the colours out for the shading and smiled "Aunt B? what did I look like back in Osaka? I don't remember…"

Beryl thought about it then remembered, she took out a wallet from her bag and then took out a photo, showing the girls a picture of Rubious and Serena in Osaka, Serena had thin framed glasses, smiling showing the small braces on her teeth, but she was really skinny, her hair was up in her old signature meatballs. "wow you look so cute Serena!" but Lita never received an answer, she noticed Serena was holding her head slightly "Are you remembering something?"

Serena nodded, swallowing some saliva "yeah, the day I was jumped by Melissa's brother…. I had just gone past the sweets store when I felt him yank me back, and dragged to a secluded place in the park. It was my face the first thing he hit…. And I felt something hit me on the back of my head… that's all I remember." She handed the photo back to her aunt, "why do you keep that? I look so…..ugly….."

Beryl smiled before she placed a hand on the princess shoulder, "because you wasn't sweetie, remember what I told you as a child?" taking a deep breath, she nodded "that true beauty lies on the inside right next to strength and courage…" them words hit Lita's chest to make it swell up, they was beautiful words.

Once Serena finished her chocolate, Emerald continued for another 40 minutes before sitting back finishing the piece, she applied the vasaline and cover for the girl. "I presume you have the E45 cream already?" the blonde nodded as she stood up placing her glasses into her shirt pocket, "I do girl, in any case i-" she didn't get to speak much at all as her phone went off, looking down at the caller ID she noticed it was her father.

"Hello dad? Whoa calm down what? Molly came over….she started WHAT! WHAT! No…."

Serena's whole world stood completely still as the phone dropped from her hands onto the floor. Kenji could be heard in the background, "serena? SERENA?"

Beryl picked up the phone while Lita was trying to get the girl to speak, "Ken? Serena seems to be in a state of shock right now what's going on? … " the woman was keeping an eye on her niece until the words hit her lips

"Beryl… Irene… she's in the hospital In critical condition! Done by Serena's ex best friend Molly!" before Beryl could say a word, Serena ran out of the studio with her helmet and keys, not bothering to speak to anyone her face showed anger, more than what she had seen in the young princess. "which hospital Ken? I'll send Emerald and Lita down there immediately, I have a feeling Serena's about to go do something stupid….ok … ok I'll let them know."

She hung up the phone, the girls was looking to her wanting to know the news, All they could hear was that Molly had visited and Serena running out, Beryl pinched the bridge of her nose trying not to let a tear out, "Where's this Molly live?" Lita stepped up "I can show you but what's going on?"

"Serena's mothers in critical condition at the hospital… and Molly's the one who put her there… Serena didn't wait to find out which hospital she's in so I have a feeling she's about to go confront her….. so I need the girls address!" Lita shook her head as she took out her transformation pen, "An here I thought Serena gained some brain cells…. Get to the hospital I'll go after Sere your sister needs you Beryl so if you have a heart like my princess say's you do get to the hospital!" with that she transformed into sailor Jupiter and ran out heading up town to Molly's Jewellery shop.

Emerald had quickly gathered hers, Serena and Lita's things and locked the shop up "I'll drive us to the hospital come…" with that they locked the shop up and was on their way.
