I honestly don't own Sailor Moon or any of its characters, even though I wish I did

sometimes. Anyhow, this is a story involving Serena and Darien's break up; and I know

how many of you don't like that idea. I don't either, but hey, it's my story so too bad!

Main Characters:

Darien Shields

98 Degrees



~No Turning Back Now~

This is the story of how my family came to be. My name is Serenity Jacobs, but

everyone calls me Serena for short. Well, everything took place when I was 21 years old

and still in college. Back then I was madly in love with my boyfriend, Darien Shields, a

24-year-old pre-med student. I myself had yet to declare a major, because I was still

unsure of what I wanted to become. This was not the only problem I had; I was also a

Sailor Scout and the Moon Princess. Anyway, this is how my life changed…

~Flash Back~

It was a bright and sunny day out and students were running all over campus

trying to get to classes on time. There was one student in particular that was running

extremely fast. Everyone turned as they saw two streamers of golden hair fly past them.

Yes, that was the one and only, Serena Jacobs. She was captain of both cheerleading and

track teams at Tokyo University. With long blond hair soft as silk and a body as perfect

as the Goddess Aphrodite, Serena Jacobs was the girl every single guy wished they could

have. Only bad thing was that she was dating Darien Shields, the richest guy around

campus. They were the perfect couple according to everyone on campus.

"Hey there cutie!" says Serena sitting down beside Darien in class. She leaned

over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Her face was flushed from all the running she had

done, and to Darien she never looked any better.

"Were you running late again babe?" asked Darien chuckling softly as she smiled

and giggled softly at his question. Class was beginning soon and everyone was starting

to file in to sit down and get ready for lecture.

"Sorry, can't help it honey. You know I have Calculus before this class, and it's

not my fault that the Math building is across campus from the Physics building. Some

people aren't as lucky as to have all their classes nearby." She responded almost pouting

at him. Darien smiled and squeezed Serena's hand before placing a gentle kiss on it,

silently apologizing to her.

"Alright class, let begin lecture!" shouted Professor Lawson as he stepped into the

lecture hall. "Where did we leave off the other day?" he asked looking up to see if

anybody even remembered the lesson he taught the day prior to before.

"Yeah, you were giving us the different equations for our test next week sir!"

shouted Serena as she smiled at the professor. And so that went back and forth for

another hour and thirty minutes before Darien and Serena both left class.

"How about we meet the girls and grab some lunch Sere?" thought Darien as he

took Serena's briefcase and carried it for her to his car. Suddenly there was a distinct

beeping noise that the two were so familiar with. Darien reached into Serena's bag and

took her communicator wristband out for her.

"Moon here, what's up?" responded Serena quietly as they got into Darien's black

beamer and sped off to find the other scouts. Lita's face appeared distraught as they

spoke and yelling could be heard in the background.

"Serena, there's a youma here at the park and two at the mall downtown! Raye,

Mina, and Amy are at the mall holding the youmas back, but I'm alone and need help

fast!" replied Lita as she jumped out of the way as a youma came barreling at her. Serena

turned and told Darien to stop at a nearby alleyway so they could both transform.

"Serena, I'll go help Sailor Jupiter, I think you should go help Mercury, Mars and

Venus with those two youmas at the mall!" shouted Tuxedo Mask as soon as he noticed

that Serena has already transformed into Sailor Moon.

"Got it, I'm on my way! Just make sure you and Lita don't get hurt okay?!"

yelled Sailor Moon as she leapt to a rooftop and took off running in the direction of the

mall. Ten minutes before she should have reached the mall she saw people running

around the streets yelling. "What the…" replied Serena as she looked down to see 3

youmas chasing innocent citizens up and down the streets, zapping them of all their

energy. "Oh my god! What am I going to do?!" screamed Sailor Moon as she jumped

down to get a better view. "Oh crap, I know I'm going to get yelled at by Mars now.

Damn, why couldn't they wait until night time or something to feed!" yelled Sailor Moon

angrily as she took off after the youmas.

Back at the mall, the three Sailor Scouts were being horrible beaten up by the two

youmas and were wondering when help would show up. "Where the heck is the pea

brain?!" yelled Sailor Mars as she was thrown against a wall. She screamed in pain and

tried to get up. To her left, Sailor Mercury was being pounded and sliced up by the

youma that looked like a giant grasshopper with razor sharp blades for arms. "Oh god,

look out Venus!" shouted Mars as the other youma threw a blast of energy at the

oblivious Sailor Venus, throwing her clear across the mall and into the glass window of

the department store.

"Where are you when we need you Sailor Moon?" asked Sailor Mercury, as she

was knocked unconscious. Her arm was bleeding and badly and the youma had twisted

her ankle, so she was left on the floor. "Mercury Glaciers… Surround!" screamed Sailor

Mercury as she threw sharp daggers of ice at the youma causing it to disintegrate and turn

into dust. "Oh thank god, it's over with." Said Sailor Mercury as she fainted.

"Mars Fire Dome… Capture!" yelled Sailor Mars as a huge dome of fire came

down upon the remaining youma crushing it with its walls of enraging fire. The youma

finally busted into dust and vanished, leaving Sailor Mars alone with the other scouts.

At the park, Sailor Jupiter and Tuxedo Mask had finally defeated the youma with

an electrifying rose implanted into the youma's forehead, causing it to turn into dust with

an explosion. "Thank god that's over with? I wonder how Sailor Moon and the others

did?" thought Sailor Jupiter as she looked at Tuxedo Mask.

All the while, in the streets of Tokyo, Sailor Moon was being thrown around like

a bag of rice. She hit the ground with a loud thud screaming in agony. "Darn it, I hope

the others are okay without me," thought Sailor Moon as she slowly got to her feet

holding her scepter in her hand. "Gees, these guys never give up!" she yelled as she held

her moon scepter up and got ready to mood dust all three at once. Just as she was about

to yell her attack, one of the youma lunged at her with a claw extended and slashed her

thigh open. "Ahh!' screamed Sailor Moon falling onto her knees, tears springing to her

eyes. She turned just as the youma's sharp arm extended and came in contact with her

right arm. "Damn it," yelled Sailor Moon as she covered her injured arm with her left

hand. She grit her teeth as she pulled her scepter out and threw an attack back at the

youmas. "Silver Crystal Beam… Attack!" cried Sailor Moon as the scepter blasted a ray

of silver moon crescents at the youmas, vaporizing them. Pulling her crystal out, Sailor

Moon used up as much of her energy as she could to cover the gash on her thigh up.

Running clear across town to find the other scouts and Tuxedo Mask, Sailor

Moon leapt form building top to building top, reaching the mall just as Sailor Jupiter and

Tuxedo Mask arrived to help the others. "Where the hell were you Serena?!" cried Sailor

Mars as she helped Mercury to feet. "Do you realize that Mina could very well be dead

right now?" she asked expecting a pathetic excuse from Serena. "Jupiter, go over to that

window and see if Venus is okay, she's hurt bad I think," Mars told Lita as she glared at

the Moon Princess.

"Serena, I thought you were heading here to help the girls? What happened?"

questioned Darien as he de-transformed, looking at her very disappointed. Serena looked

from Raye to Darien with a look of hurt in her eyes. She couldn't believe they didn't ask

her for an explanation, instead all she heard was accusations of her letting her team down.

"I'm sorry guys, I didn't mean to not get here in time to help you, I was just busy

at the moment," replied Sailor Moon exhaustedly. She held onto her shoulder even

tighter so the blood wouldn't leak down her arm. "I meant to get here sooner, I swear!

But.." replied Sailor Moon just as Sailor Jupiter came back with Venus in her arms. "Oh

my god, Mina!" cried Sailor Moon, running over to see her friend.

"Get away from her Serena, you've done enough damage!" cried Lita as she

backed away from Sailor Moon. "Look at her, she's a wreck all because of you!" blamed

Sailor Jupiter angrily. Sailor Mars shook her head and looked up to see the tears in Sailor

Moon's face.

"All you ever do is cry and whine about not wanting to be a Sailor Scout, well…

Since you don't want to be one, why don't you just quit. There's no point in you being

on the team if you're going to let one of us die!" yelled Mars at Moon angrily as she

glared at her.

"Where were you Serena? I waited and hoped you would come help us for so

long," whispered Mercury, as Tuxedo Mask looked over her injuries. "I'm so shocked, I

thought you cared about us, I thought we were friends!" cried Mercury as she looked

away, tears flowing form her eyes. She really wished she didn't have to tell Serena this,

but truth was, she had let her team down.

"Serena, I thought that over time you would finally grow up and mature. I guess I

was wrong, I can't believe you would let your friends get so hurt," replied Darien looking

at her angrily. Sailor Moon walked over to Tuxedo Mask and reached out for him but he

only backed away from her. "I don't want a girlfriend who doesn't give a damn about

her friends and scouts," he yelled as he came up and grabbed her arm and dragged her

over to Venus. "Look at her, she might just die from this thanks to you!" he screamed,

pushing her to the ground in front of where Mina was lying. "Sometimes I wish you

were a more descent person, you're so aggravating!" Darien yelled at her, seeing tears

rise to her eyes.

"Stop!" cried Sailor Moon. "That's enough! I don't need to take all of this from

you!" exclaimed Serena, tears flowing freely down her face now. "I've had one rough

time fighting not one or two, but three youmas reeking havoc downtown, so why don't

you just shut up already! Why do I even bother explaining myself, you probably won't

believe me anyway right?!" she yelled at everyone, her voice hoarse from all those tears

she tried to conceal. "If you don't want me then fine, I'm leaving the Scouts! And

Darien, you and I are through with! I don't ever want to see your face again, especially

after what you just said!" screamed Sailor Moon as she threw the star locket at him,

hitting him smack in the face with it. Serena then reached for her transformation broach

and removed her crystal from it. "I have no use for this anymore, you can go find another

leader for this pathetic team," replied Serena as she placed the Silver Imperium Crystal

into a subspace pocket and walked off.

~End Part I~

Wells, how did I do? Too cheesy? Or maybe it took the path of many other stories? I'm

sorry, I couldn't think of any better way to break Serena off form the team. This is the

only emotional storyline I could choose to set my fanfic into the right direction. Hope

you liked it! Part II will be coming out soon! Ja Ne!
