Destined By: Lady Serenity Chapter 9 "So, you practically grew up with your cousins?" Michiru asked, as she sat on the coach. She felt strangely odd in there, with no one around. Haruka shook her head. "Yep... when I was small, it has always been me and Rena. It was Ruka and Rena. My uncle and aunt thought it was kawaii, you see," Haruka pointed to a picture that hung on the wall. It was a picture of two girls. One with ondagos on top of her head, and hair that reached down to her shoulders, and the other was another girl with shoulder length hair. "That's us." "Aww, how cute!" Michiru said, as she looked at it in admiration. Haruka huffed at that, frowning. "You two must have been close." "Yeah. We were like sister... but actually, I was more like an older brother, cause who ever teased her or anything would have ended up with a black eye..." Haruka said with a laugh as Michiru gave her an uneasy look. "I wonder where she is though, I know it is very unlike her not to be home for so long..." "How do you know? I mean, you haven't been here for awhile." Michiru asked. Haruka just shrugged. "I just know her. She LOVES her sleep. Trust me. But she could also be at a friend's house. I'm not sure." "So... what do we do now?" Michiru asked, as the blond looked at the picture of her and her cousin. "I guess we continue to wait..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Metallia brushed her long mane of hair. It shimmered in the slight light that glimmered into the room. She liked this body. Not only was she in the brink of beauty, but she could feel as surge of power. She placed a hand on her stomach. Her blue eyes were dark with a sort of sense that it was once bright. She smiled softly as a silver aura surrounded her as she knew that the princess had return. She couldn't stay out of her body for long without fading out of existence. "Soon, the child of darkness will be born, made from a pure heart." She said with a chuckle. "You hear that princess? Your child will be turned to darkness, never to learn kindness or goodness!" The only sound that the evil spirit could hear was the sound of a weeping girl, as the knowing ripped her heart out. She whispered out one word. "Endymion..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Serena, I feel silly writing you a letter, knowing that it will most likely never come to you. Can you blame me for trying though? The guilt inside of me is eating me up. I never meant to hurt you. Silly though, because I know I did. I feel as it was my fault that you agreed to go to the negiverse. Actually, I bet it IS my fault. I know, Baka no Raye. I never meant to do anything harsh, 'cause I knew that you were going through a tough time. It was just that usually you were the strong one for me to lean on, as silly as that might sound. You were always happy, always smiling, always saying that tomorrow is a more beautiful day. You cared for me. I thought that trying to knock some sense into you would help you. Apparently I was wrong... very wrong. What I am trying to say Serena, is that I miss, that I love you my imouto. Please forgive me if you ever come back... Onegaishimasu Yurushite Watashi. - Raye Raye looked at the letter as she bitterly tore it up. "Iil. Don't forgive me. I don't deserve your forgiveness." Raye said bitterly, her eyes filling up with more tears. Sobs filled the room as the girl broke. "I failed you... I don't deserve to be your friend, your guardian..." She looked at the locket that sat on her desk. She picked it up and threw it against the wall. The locket shattered, the pieces were on the floor everywhere. The piece with the sign of mars glowed in the mist as it began to fade into nothingness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darien sipped his soda slowly, as his mind was occupied with many thoughts. In his hand he was toying with the crescent moon wand that Raye had dropped. "Hey, Dare, you okay? Seem kind of spaced out..." A voice said, as he turned his head to see his best friend who was standing next to his girlfriend. "Hi Motiko, hi Rita." He said to his friends. They smiled at him. Rita took a seat next to him as Motiko excused him to go the rest room. "Hey." Rita spoke to her friend, her eyes filled with color. "What is that?" Rita asked, pointing to the wand. Darien looked at her, with a soft sad smile then back to the wand. He was shocked as it began to blink with color. He looked back at Rita. "Kami..." He cursed, as he looked at Rita. "You carry one of the crystals." "Wha..." She asked, as she paused in mid sentence. In the matter of fact, everyone seemed to have stopped what he or she were doing. They were all unmoving. He didn't know what was happening, as he felt the wand float in the air, and spin in a circle in the front of Rita. Doing so, a crystal appeared in front of her, as Darien grabbed it and the wand quickly as everything was like before. "...t? Crystals? Ohh! You mean this necklace that I have?" Rita asked with a smile as she indicated to her pendent necklace. "I know, I told him that everyone has this, but he said that whatever is on me looks totally different than anyone else's." She giggled as Motiko returned. Darien still didn't recover from his shock that the wand was able to do such a sort of thing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lita stared from her spot from the Sailor V game and to the guy that was playing the Crane Game. She whispered to Mina, who was into the game, probably because she WAS Sailor V. "Ohh... he looks sooooo much like my old sempai." Lita said to Mina, whom looked up at the guy at and then down at the game. "Doesn't everyone? But well, he doesn't seem to look so kawaii." Mina told her, as she felt Lita strangling her now. "Hhheellllpppp..." She managed out. "Don't you DARE talk about him that way!" Lita growled, as she let go of her neck. Mina gasped for breath as the words 'GAME OVER' appeared on her screen. "NANI?! And I was 2 points away from betting the 1st place SCORE!!!!" She practically yelled, as people began to stare. "LITA!!! You are so going to die!" She said, as she pounced on her friend, as the guy Lita was staring at exited the building. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Malacite looked at his rich wine, and drank it. "I lost her..." He said, his head bowed low. "I truly lost her..." His head shook sadly as he thought about something... or should he say someone. His eyes brighten. Why didn't he remember in the first place? Why did he always forget her? It was suppose to be a secret. His father had been unfaithful to his mother - Queen Serenity and helped give birth to the senshi of Uranus... Haruka. Only few knew about that, and if more, they were dead. It was sinful and unforgivable on what he did, so the act was kept a secret... The queen of Uranus had felt so bad for betraying her friend, that she had took her own life, saying that she was so low and cruel to do such a thing to her best friend. Serenity didn't know about it either, or if she did, she sure kept it good. Haruka had always been close to her. Really close. Like he and Serenity. Queen Serenity didn't like it but refuse to say anything about it. Haruka was her dear friend's child - even though the sin she had committed to her. She felt some sense that she had to watch over her, since she had no parents. His eyes then flashed with hope. That was it! He would find her to help him... Help him free Serenity and free himself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *sighs* it seems as if no one likes to e-mail me any comments.
