The Return of Serena Chapter 9: What Hurts the Most, a sailor moon fanfic

AN
Okay guys I am sorry that I'm not updating this story very often. It is because I have started a new story and I have been working on that for the past couple of days. The Return of Serena is my very first fan fiction story so if you happen to see a fault in the stories please tell me but please do it gently. I don't own any of the songs that will be used in this chapter or any in the proceeding chapters.
Hope you like the chapter! In this Chapter I think I am going to mostly use songs by Betheny Joy Lenz I absolutely love her music and I can't wait for her cd. I will also be using Alexz Johnson's music so I hope you like it.

Ok so I do not own any of the Sailor Moon people or anything related to Sailor Moon except a few DVD's and one season of it. I am just another person that got to hooked on the show and started to use my brain a little to much.

Thanks for the reviews they are very much appreciated.

The Return of Serena Chapter 9

What hurts the most.

When Selene walked out onto the stage the crowd immediately went silent. Selene walked out to the center of the stage and said "I am going to do a little something new tonight. I have written a few songs and I am going to perform them tonight and see what you all think. The first one is called Elsewhere"
" I love the time and in between

the calm inside me

in the space where I can breathe

I believe there is a

distance I have wandered

to touch upon the years of

reaching out and reaching in

holding out holding in

I believe

this is heaven to no one else but me

and I'll defend it as long as I can be

left here to linger in silence

if I choose to

would you try to understand

I know this love is passing time

passing through like liquid

I am drunk in my desire...

but I love the way you smile at me

I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near...

I believe...

I believe

this is heaven to no one else but me

and I'll defend it as long as

I can be left here to linger in silence

if I choose to

would you try to understand

Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free

the mold that clings like desperation

Mother can't you see I've got

to live my life the way I feel is right for me

might not be right for you but it's right for me...

I believe...

I believe

this is heaven to no one else but me

and I'll defend it as long as

I can be left here to linger in silence

if I choose to

would you try to understand it

I would like to linger here in silence

if I choose to

would you understand it

would you try to understand..."

After she finished the song the crowd went wild with applause and yelling. When they finally calmed down Selene decided to do one of her other new songs called "Devil Archerist"

"Ok this is also one of my newest songs and I call it Devil Archerist"

Verse 1:

This day probably tore me apart

And I didn't even know it

This day probably ate up my heart

And I got nothing to show for it

Why (why) is it so so (so) easy to compromise

This fog is like strawberry pie

But it keeps you keeping reaching

Here I am just watching you die

Just watching death coming up coming up creeping

why (why) don't you start (why) calling me ungrateful, oh yeah

Chorus:

Keep me away I've got no will to fight

Keep me away, I'm running to the light

Cause I don't want to lose your way

With these devil archerist

Verse 2:

My soul hear a million to one say

I didn't even see it

Looking up looking down at my soul

Looking everywhere but where the help was coming from

Why (why) do I seem broke and stumbling every time I get hit?

Chorus

Instrumental break

Come on now

Keep me away I've got no will to fight

Keep me away, I'm running to the light

Keep me away I've got no will to fight

Keep me away, I'm running to the light

Cause I don't want to lose your way

I don't want to lose your way, no

With these devil, (devil) devil archerist

Once again the crowd went nuts over this song. By all of the applause and wistling and yelling Selene could tell they were enjoying her new music and that made her extremely happy. She decided to do one more of her new songs then she would let the audience decided what they wanted to hear. So she decided that she would perform Halo.

I never promised you a ray of light

I never promised there'd be sunshine everyday

I'll give you everything I have

The good the bad...

Why do you put me on a pedestal?

I'm so up high that I can't see the ground below

So help me down, you've got it wrong

I don't belong there

One thing is clear

I wear a halo

I wear a halo when you look at me

But standing from here

You wouldn't say so

You wouldn't say so if you were me

And I… I just wanna love you

Oh, oh I… I just wanna love you

I always said that I would make mistakes

I'm only human and that's my saving grace

I fall as hard as I try

So don't be blinded

See me as I really am

I have flaws and sometimes I even sin

So pull me from that pedestal

I don't belong there

One thing is clear

I wear a halo

I wear a halo when you look at me

but standing from here

you wouldn't say so

you wouldn't say so if you were me

And I…I just wanna love you

OOhh I…I just wanna love…you

Like to think that you know me

But in your eyes

I am something above you

Its only in your mind

Only in your mind

I wear

I wear a halo

One thing is clear

I wear a halo

I wear a halo when you look at me

but standing from here

you wouldn't say so

you wouldn't say so if you were me

I just wanna love you

(I just wanna love you)

Heya Hey Hey Hey…Hey Hey Halo

The audience really loved that one and that she could tell. Now that she had done some of her new songs she decided to let them choose what they wanted to hear because she had time to do two more songs.

"Okay now to have a little fun I decided to let you choose what you want to hear. Any preferences?"

The majority of the crowd yelled "NOT STANDING AROUND"

"Well I think we have a winner!"

"I go where I know

Even earth could find my feet

I will run away

And go where I know

-----Bridge-----

But you don't even care

No, You don't even care

What's there

-----Chorus-----

Not standing alone

Not standing around

Wanna sit there waiting til I reach my ground

Not letting it go

Won't leave it behind

Won't pass me by, no not this time

Not standing alone

Not letting it go

Won't leave it behind

I keep so far

I nearly lost my mind

I held on so tight

Now I see that I was blind

But you don't even care

No you don't even care

What's there

Not standing alone

Not standing around

Wanna sit there waiting til I reach my ground

Not letting it go

Won't leave it behind

Won't pass me by, no not this time

Not standing alone

Not standing around

Not letting it go

Won't leave it behind

I have the party

I have the song

To move my body ain't nothing wrong

I hear the talking

I hear the crowd

I'm on the inside

looking out"

The people In the audience sang along with the song and danced and twirled. Selene was singing and trying not to laugh at the same time. She loved it when her fans sang along with her and she especially loves it when the dance to it.

"Okay now for the last song of the night what will it be?"

There were so many different songs that got yelled out that Selene had to choose which one to do. She decided to sing "Let me Fall"

"Well since I heard so many different songs I think I will sing Let me Fall sound good?"

Everyone in the crowd yelled "YES" so she sang the song.

I feel chained, chained down

You shoved me to the ground

I can't run, I can't shout

Just let me out

For someone heartless, this couldn't mean less

Gonna push it in your face

I'm only human

And I've got something to say

(Chorus)

Let me rise, let me fall

Let me breathe

I wanna lose control, I'm not afraid to lose it all

Let me break, let me crawl

Cause I'll get back up again if you let me fall

If I burn down in this fire

Well, I've got myself to blame

I can't stop or give it up

I need to feel the pain

Can you hear me?

Don't come near me

You'll just get in my way

I'm only human

And there's nothing you can say

(Chorus)

Let me rise, let me fall

Let me breathe

I wanna lose control, I'm not afraid to lose it all

Let me break, let me crawl

Cause I will get up again if you let me fall

Say you know who I am and what I'm about.

And you'll understand I gotta figure it out.

And live my own life.

(Chorus)

Let me rise, let me fall

Let me breathe

I wanna lose control, I'm not afraid to lose it all

Let me break, let me crawl

Cause I will get up again if you let me fall

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

If you let me fall

If you let me

If you let me fall

I will get up again if you let me fall

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

If you let me fall

let me fall

"Well I hope you all enjoyed the show but I sadly have to go so thanks for coming out tonight!" She yelled and walked off the stage.

Her friends managed to get back stage after about an hour of trying to get through the crowd. When they got to her dressing room they found her talking with her manager and her producer. When Selene saw them she said she had to get going because there was a after party she and her friends had to get to then she left with her friends.

"Serena that was amazing! I can't believe that you are such a good singer not to mention your voice is AMAZING!" Said Mina

"Thanks Mina but I'm not known as Serena here remember?" Serena whispered to Mina noticing the funny look she was getting from one of the producers.

"Oh my gosh sorry" Apologized Mina

"It's okay I don't think anyone really noticed" Said Serena

"So where's this party we're going to?" Asked Lita

"Well it's up the street a bit so we will be there in a minute." Said Serena

When they got to the party that is when they noticed it was at a night club with a huge bar. Selene left for the ladies room so she could turn back to herself. When they got in they decided to have some fun. Ian went straight to the bar and got a drink that you could tell had alcohol in it just because of the way he stared at it with a dazed look.
Andrew decided he wanted to dance so he asked Serena when she got back to dance knowing that she always loved to dance.

"Hey Serena lets dance!" Said Andrew

"Wow! Andrew dance? Now I've seen it all." Said Serena

"Yeah whatever now lets dance!" He said as he grabbed her hand and dragged her to the dance floor where they started to dance to the song "Suns gonna rise"
While Serena and Andrew were dancing the other's decided to go get a drink or dance. Half went to the bar and half went to dance. Mina walked up to Andrew and Serena and asked if she could step in.

"Mind if I step in?" Said Mina

"No not at all" Said Serena

"No I meant I wanted to dance with you Serena not Andrew! I dance with him all the time besides when was the last time you and I danced together?" Ask Mina

"Well it's been a while" States Serena

"Exactly! So let's dance shall we?"

"We shall"

Serena and Mina danced for a while and had a blast while doing it. They talked about all sorts of stuff and laughed at all sorts of stuff. After a while they decided to get a drink and sit down. Mina got a club soda and Serena got a coke. When they had gotten their drinks they set out to find the gang. After a few minutes of looking they found them sitting upstairs on one of the circular couches. When Serena and Mina got to them they noticed that something was wrong with Ian he didn't seem like himself. When they got close enough they could tell he was drunk just by the sound of his voice. All his words were slurred and out of place. Not to mention he was talking as loud as he could, not know what he was doing. Mina walked up to Lita and asked her what happened.

"Lita what happened to him?"

"Well from the looks of it he seems drunk."

"How much did he have to drink?"

"I don't know I'm not his bodyguard."

"Well I knew that I was just trying to figure out what he did and what he had to get himself drunk so quickly."

"Well I don't know.. Ian where are you going?"

"Anewhuricngtawyfrmu" He said

"Did anyone catch that?"

They all shook their heads and tried to catch up to him. They followed him all the way out to his car which was down the street from the club. What they hadn't expected was for him to get in the car and start to drive it.

"Ian get out of the car!" Yelled Darien

"Ian you idiot you are going to kill yourself!" Said Andrew

Ian didn't seem to care as he drove around the parking lot and went every which way. They were all worried about him hurting himself or worse… Someone else. Andrew had had enough and decided to stand right in Ian's path and he didn't budge even though Ian was headed right at him.

"Andrew what are you thinking man? Get out of the way!" Yelled Darien

"NO! He won't hit me I know he won't!" He yelled back

Andrew was starting to get worried as Ian came towards him and wasn't slowing down he was actually speeding up. Andrew stood his ground and right when Ian was about ten feet away he turned the car to the right and he wound up hitting Mina head on. Mina went flying and hit the brick wall that was about twenty feet behind her. Everyone yelled and ran to her.

"Mina? Mina? MINA! Come on baby wake up you have to wake up." Yelled Andrew who was holding her stiff body

"Someone call an ambulance!" Yelled Ami who along with Darien was checking her vital signs.

Rei pulled out her cell phone and called 911 and explained what happened to the lady on the phone while the lady sent some people out. When the paramedics got there they put the unconscious Mina into the van and drove off. The police arrived seconds after the Paramedics did and asked what had happened.

"Ok kids what happened here tonight?"

"Our friend got drunk and he hit her with his car. We tried to stop him from driving but we couldn't he locked the doors and we couldn't get in. We yelled at him to stop but he never did." Said Lita between sobs

"Alright, where's the one who was driving?"

"Right there" Said Greg as he pointed at Ian who was on the ground laughing at himself.

The police officer walked over to him and cuffed him and put him in the cop car and drove off. The other officer started asking some questions about the victim and the driver. When she was done with her questions she told them to get to the hospital and notify Mina's family.
When they got to the hospital they went to the front desk and asked about Mina's condition.
The nurse told them to go to the family waiting room and wait there until the doctor comes out of surgery.

After about two hours of surgery the doctor came out to tell them of the damage that was done.

"Who is the family of Mina"? He asked

"Her family isn't here they don't live around here so we're all she's got." Said Andrew

"Alright sir, Well she is going to be fine she has suffered a few broken ribs and a shattered collar bone. She also has a number of cuts and bruises and a few stitches on her leg. But she will be fine. She is sleeping now and when she wakes up she will be in pain but we will give her pain killers to help with that." Said the Doctor

"Thank you so much Doctor you have no idea how much you've helped us and her." Said Andrew as he shook the Doctors hand.

After hearing that Mina was going to be okay they all decided to go home and get some sleep. Serena and Darien's apartments are very close to each other so he offered her a ride and she happily accepted.

"I'm glad Mina's going to be okay" Said Darien

"Yeah" Said Serena but she didn't sound happy at all.

"What's wrong? I thought you would be happy that she's ok?" He asked

"I can't believe that Ian is so stupid that he would get drunk, Drive a car and HIT MINA! She yelled

"Serena he was drunk you don't think coherently when your intoxicated."

"Why are you defending him? He doesn't deserve to be defended!"

"Well I doubt he meant to do anything wrong he"

Serena cut him off mid sentence

"Oh right! He didn't mean to it was an accident I was drunk I wasn't thinking I was intoxicated I this I that! It's all excuses! He was drunk, He drove, He hit Mina, but it's all okay it was an accident because I was drunk! How is that not wrong? If you can answer that I will drop the subject" She said

"I can't tell you why he did it but I do agree it was stupid and no there is no excuse for what he did."

"Well I don't! Wait… did you just agree with what I said?

"Yes Serena I did, because I DO agree with you."

"Thank you"

"You're welcome"

" How would you know that you don't think right when you're drunk?"

"It's common sense"

"Yeah right! Seriously Darien how do you know?"

"Serena I don't want to get into it right here."

"Well then why don't we go up to your apartment? I mean we are right here."

"Serena..."

"Darien stop! You said not here so we will go up and talk about it in the apartment. If you don't want to go to yours we will go to mine. I want to know"

"Fine we'll go up to my apartment and talk there. You do know you are a pain in the neck right?"

"I know it's my job so get over it."

"Yeah" He said with a laugh

They went up to his apartment so they could talk more about what happened tonight and about how he knows you can't think right while drunk. On the way up to his floor Serena thought about the first time she was in an elevator with Darien. It was the day they found out about the others identity. It was also the day that everyone remembered that Serena was the Moon Princess and Darien was the Prince of Earth.

"Where's your head at Serena?"

"I was just thinking about the first time we were in a elevator together and the events of that day."

"What made you think of that?"

"I don't know it just popped into my head I guess"

"Ahh.."

When the elevator stopped they got off and headed for his apartment. When they got to his door he fumbled around in his pockets looking for his keys which he found in his left front pocket. Once inside she went and sat on his couch while he went into the kitchen to get something to eat for them. When he came back out is when the real fun began.

'So we are now in an enclosed area so spill! Tell me how you know about the not being able to talk coherently while you are drunk"

"Serena I…."

"You what Darien?"

"Ok… Well it all started when we thought you had been killed. You were able to defeat the Wise Man but you couldn't defeat Trinity? That was to overwhelming for me. So when I thought you had died I turned away from the scouts, from my studies and my friends in general. I didn't want to believe that you were really gone so I turned to drinking to solve my problems. I knew it was wrong but I knew I wasn't going to be able to live my life happily without you in it. Well since I had been drinking I wasn't thinking straight so I got in my car and drove up to the Temple. Mind you I didn't drive very well but I still drove. It was a miracle that I didn't kill someone or myself the way I was driving. When I got to the Temple I just yelled at everyone and blamed your death on them and left. When I got home that's when I really broke down because I knew it wasn't their fault… It was mine. So I just stayed home for a number of weeks I didn't even go and help the scouts fight in the battles. After about four months of drinking and stuff Andrew came over and beat the heck out of me and told me to get my butt into gear because they needed me and it wasn't my fault that you were dead and that we were all responsible for your death not just one of us."

Serena had tears running down her face when he stopped talking and looked up at her from his position on his floor where he was sitting Indian style.

"So yes I do know that you are not able to think clearly while you are drunk"

"Darien I….. I don't know what to say. I really don't"

"Just say that you will never do something this stupid ever again and that you are back for good" He said

Serena answered his question by sitting on his lap and hugging him and then kissing him. Darien happy to be holding his princess again didn't do anything but wrap his arms around her tiny body and kiss her back. After a few minutes of this they decided to sit on the couch together. He sat down and stretched his legs out on the couch and she sat in his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head on his chest.

God how I've missed this she thought right before she fell asleep in her once again boyfriend's arms.

TOO BE CONTINUED…..

Coming up…

Serena and Darien have a great day together that is until someone shows up un announced

The Scouts must face Trinity again

Someone gets killed who will it be?
