Kiss the Girl

"Serena, you have to eat." Luna said softly.

Even though she had a pillow over her head Serena could still hear her.

"I'm not hungry," she mumbled back and it was true.

Her stomach felt too much like it was going to throw up at the memory of that bitch clinging to Darien's waist. Tears started to fall again and she found that she had to come up for air, the pillow was becoming suffocating.

She heard Luna sigh, "Serena don't starve yourself for Darien, he loves you just the way you are!"

"He doesn't love me!" Serena burst out. She stared at Luna for a few moments, "You think he does?"

Luna looked back at Serena, contemplating her answer. Yes, Luna felt Darien did still love Serena a great deal. She had seen the look in his eyes when Rubeus threatened her. But Luna could not find a good reason as to why Darien was treating her as such. Her patience was wearing thin with the boy and didn't feel Serena should be subjected to false hope if he was only going to deny it to her anyway. She could see even now, as Serena was trying to suppress it, there was still hope shone in her eyes.

'Not all of her believes Darien doesn't love her,' Luna thought.

Unfortunately Luna must have taken too much time with her answer for Serena's eyes fell and she turned away.

"I thought not. Not many guys who love their girlfriends break up with them."

Luna thought she heard a gasp from outside the room. She looked at Serena again who was stifling cries again. Luna felt her heart go out to her poor charge. It pained her to see Serena suffering so much, but there was nothing she could do at the moment and walked out of the room. She walked out just in time to see a figure running down the hall. Luna raced to the stairs and saw Rini rush out the door. What was she doing? It was eleven o'clock at night! Luna raced back to Serena's room.

Serena heard Luna rush into the room, but didn't turn around. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard Luna cry, "Serena, come quick! Rini's run away again!"

Irritation clouded Serena's features, how could that annoying brat be so stupid to go out at this hour?

She cried, "Crap! I'm coming!"

She quickly called the other scouts and raced out the door. She didn't even bother changing into something other than sweats. She knew Luna was following her and she just ran all the faster. After searching for an hour she and Luna both saw Rini's energy a couple blocks away. After alerting the other scouts they sprinted in that direction.

Serena transformed when they arrived and saw two of the Black Moon Sisters holding Rini. She nodded to Luna who snuck up on them and scratched the arm of the one holding Rini. Serena grabbed Rini as one of them howled in pain.

The sister glared at her, "You're gonna regret that!"

Serena glared back, "Not as much as you're gonna regret attacking a helpless kid! I am Sailor Moon and you just pissed me off!"

She sent her tiara attack and it hit on of them and knocked them over. The other floated in the air and sent out a demon. Serena's eyes widened at the sight of the monster.

It commanded her, "Look into my eyes!"

Serena's first instinct was to look away…but it was too late. She felt herself getting lost in the demon's eyes and her legs suddenly felt heavy. She fell to her knees as her legs gave out and she fought to keep her eyes open. Suddenly she felt like all her energy was completely gone and she collapsed onto the sidewalk.

She felt Luna shake her, "Sailor Moon! You must wake up! Please! Fight to stay awake!"

Serena looked at Luna one last time before closing her eyes, "Sorry Luna, I guess I should have spent less time worry about Darien and more…time…getting my beauty rest…"

With that the last of Serena's strength left her and she closed her eyes.

Luna looked around in panic as the two sisters cornered Rini. Suddenly the other scouts appeared and drove them off.

Luna ordered the girls, "Don't look at the demon and destroy it before it tries to put you to sleep!"

Luna watched as Sailor Mars was able to damage the demon enough for it to retreat; for unfortunately, at least lately, sailor moon was the only one able to do away with demons permanently. However when she looked back to the scout of the moon, saw she was still asleep. Venus walked up to Sailor Moon and shook her a little,

"Come on Sailor Moon, wake up."

Mars walked over, "Uh, it's just like meatball head to fall asleep in the middle of battle, Sailor Moon! Wake up!"

Mars shook her a little and suddenly the demon's voice filled the air.

"She can't wake up she's trapped in an eternal sleep that will suck her energy away until she's dead! Only true love's kiss will wake her from this dream, but I don't expect you'll be able to find someone who loves this miserable retch in time! Ha ha ha!"

The demon disappeared into a cloud of smoke and the scouts watched helplessly as it quickly flowed into Serena.

"No!" Amy cried and went over to Serena, shaking her, "Wake up! WAKE UP!"

Jupiter looked in horror as their friend began to softly glow pink as they saw the energy leaving her. Jupiter picked her gently up and put her on a park bench.

Mars was getting tears of frustration in her eyes and ordered Mercury, "Scan her, Amy! Find out how she's doing and what to do to help her! We can't loose her!"

Jupiter put a comforting hand on Mars' shoulder, "Don't worry. I'm sure she'll be alright!"

Mars whirled around on Jupiter, "We don't know that! And right now I don't like our chances! The enemy's weakening her more and more by the second and we can't do anything to help our fallen scout and princess! We have to save her!…Amy, what's taking so long?"

Mercury glared at Mars, "I can feel the pressure just fine without your help! Her energy's leaving her at an incredibly fast rate! Her body temperature's dropped tremendously and I don't know what to do!"

Tears were streaming down Mercury's face as Venus held her and whispered, "It's okay. It's okay. Is there anything we can do?"

Finally Jupiter's calm exterior vanished and she lunged at Sailor Moon shouting, "Sailor Moon! WAKE UP! Wake up!"

Jupiter shook Sailor Moon's shoulders and cried her name again. Mars started rubbing Sailor Moon's shins to try to get her warm. Luna watched all this in horror. She knew who could help her charge and if he refused to…then she would know exactly who to blame! She took off, sprinting towards his apartment.

Serena opened her eyes, but didn't feel awake. She felt like she was floating. Almost like she was underwater, but she wasn't breathing. The strange part was she didn't feel the need to breath. This pink mass she was surrounded in seemed endless and the other strange part was Serena liked it. She felt warm, safe…calm.

All the pain that had been with her for weeks was suddenly and completely gone. All her feelings period had vanished. She just enjoyed the comforting warmth. She was so absorbed in her new surroundings that it took her a minute to realize that she wasn't alone.

A girl, who looked identical to herself, was not ten feet away from her. This girl looked like she had feelings; there were bags under her eyes and sadness inside them. But there was also a glow that seemed to come from within her that made Serena get the feeling she was passionately in love. Serena looked upon this girl who looked downright miserable. She looked even more miserable than Serena felt she had when she mourning Darien's rejection. Still…there seemed to be something coming from this miserable exterior that told Serena that this girl was capable of happiness.

The identical stranger moved closer to her until they were only a few feet apart. Suddenly her own voice filled her head, with thoughts she hadn't remembered thinking.

'Serena, please wake up!' The voice begged.

Serena knew the voice came from the girl, but the strange thing was that Serena only heard her in her head, for the girl's lips never moved. Serena shook her head, and an unfamiliar voice filled her ears,

"I can't. I won't. It hurts too much out there. Why would I subject myself to that kind of pain again?"

She was surprised; those were the very words she had been thinking. Suddenly it clicked; that was her voice. It sounded so emotionless and low, not at all like herself. She wasn't feeling anything, not pain, sadness, joy, love, or anger. She felt free, not like before, but completely free. Boundless in this strange, motionless place.

"Am I dead?" she asked.

The girl, who looked like her and sounded like she used to, shook her head, fear clear in her eyes.

'No, you're not. But you are dying! You will die if you don't get up and fight! You must, please!'

Serena frowned; if she had cared she would have felt confusion, now she only felt mild curiosity that was quickly dissipating as she turned to stare at the pink void she was enveloped in.

Darien was woken up by something jumping on his bed. He looked around and was about to say

'What?' but saw Luna, looking very distraught, staring up at him from the floor.

"Luna? What are-"

"Darien you have to come with me! It's about Serena!"

Darien looked away, "I can't. I'm staying away from her, if you haven't gotten the message yet."

Darien saw Luna was glaring at him, he didn't blame her. He guessed he wasn't her favorite person right now. When he didn't say anything else Luna's glare deepened and said,

"I don't care what your issues with Serena are. You can deal with them later when her life isn't hanging on by a thread!"

Darien's head snapped up, "What?"

"Darien, Serena's in trouble."

He looked away, "She's always in trouble, but if I keep coming to battle she'll never get over me."

"Do you want her to? I swear Darien; if you don't start shaping up I will have the scouts knock some sense into you! You act like you still love her, but keep saying you don't. Well I know you still do! And I don't care what you're reasons are right now because if you don't go to her now Serena will die!"

Darien's eyes widened and his heart stopped at Luna's words.

"Darien, Serena's dying! Go to her now!"

And in a moment Darien was up and rushing out the door.

'Serena, you can't leave me!' he thought. All he had done was to keep her alive! He couldn't let her die now!

"Please, Serena hang on! You can't leave me!" He cried as he transformed and jumped on his motorcycle.

"Who are you?" Serena asked.

The girl remained close to Serena, but didn't touch her, 'I'm your feelings, fears…emotions. I'm the part of you you're separated from. And I really want to get back inside you!'

Serena shook her head. "No."

The girl looked imploringly at her, 'Serena, please!'

"No. I don't want to go back." Serena said solemnly.

The girl shook her head, 'Surely you don't mean that!'

"But I do, I really do. There's nothing back there. All I had left in that world was pain and sadness and regret. I can't go back."

Tears began to fall from the girl's eyes. 'What about your friends?'

Serena was still unmoved, "What about them?"

'Are they really nothing?' Serena felt unsure. She could hear them trying to reach her.

"SAILOR MOON!" they screamed. Serena would have felt pain at the loudness of their voices if she had been anywhere, but here. Now she was able to ignore them.

"Sailor Moon! Please! You can't leave us! Sailor Moon!" She heard a voice that sounded very much like Amy. Tears were now freely falling from the girl's eyes as Serena watched on.

"Go away." Serena commanded. The girl shook her head,

'I won't!' Serena felt herself sigh in minuscule frustration.

"Why are you here?" Serena asked.

The girl smiled, 'I'm here because a part of you really wants to go back. I'm that part. The larger part may have silenced it, but it can't send me away! I still love your friends dearly and would give my life to save them. I'm the part of you that still loves Darien.'

"Then you must be the part with all the pain. Why do you want to return to that world that holds the guilt of such agony? Why not punish it by leaving? Maybe people would be happier if you were dead."

The girl glared at Serena, 'You may believe that, but I never will. You silenced me for a while after Darien broke up with you, now I won't let you leave him!'

Serena finally felt something: surprise. "Me leave him? He left me."

Her voice was still monotone, it didn't really care what this figure of her imagination thought. The girl shook her head fiercely.

'I'm also the part that knows that Darien still loves you! I know he will never stop.'

Darien's nerves were completely shot and he felt like this was the longest trip he'd ever taken.

"SERENA!" He cried at the top of his lungs while speeding down the road. Nothing could stop him from getting to her.

"My love! Please! WAIT!" He finally arrived and his blood ran cold at the sight of her lying still on the park bench. He rushed past the scouts and was almost to her when Sailor Jupiter stepped in front of him.

She glared at him, "What do you want? Get away from her! After earlier you don't need to be anywhere near her, you bastard!"

Darien knew she wanted to hit him, and he felt he deserved more than that.

Unfortunately he didn't have time for this and he demanded, "Get out of my way! I need to save her!"

He pushed past her and felt her grab his shoulder and was pushed backward,

"I said stay away from her!" Jupiter yelled, glaring at him.

Luckily Luna arrived after a moment and order Jupiter to back down.

Amy chimed in, "Lita please, maybe he can do something! We're running out of options, her temperature's dropped extremely low! Her skin is like ice."

That seemed to be the one sentence that would make Jupiter hesitate. With one last glare at him, Jupiter stepped aside. But she continued to give him murderous glances, along with Venus and Mars. With a clear path now, Darien rushed to Serena; it pained him to feel how cold she was.

He shook her, "Sailor Moon! Sailor Moon! Please wake up! Please! You can't leave me! You have to fight! Fight to stay! Please!"

He could feel himself slowly dying as she lay there unresponsive. It felt like any hope was fading as he watched his reason for living slowly dying away.

"Please forgive me. Wake up! No, no…no!" he whispered urgently and held her close.

Serena was starting to feel a little something that felt like annoyance. "He doesn't love me. I know that beyond a doubt. All of me knows that."

The girl smiled, 'What has proved that to you? Words? Nothing but words has proved he doesn't love you while his actions are screaming to you that he does!'

Serena shook her head, "You're lying."

The girl smiled, 'No, I'm not. Just listen! Does that sound like a man who hates you?'

The girl remained silent as Serena listened to what was going on outside her head.

"Oh Sailor Moon, please forgive me! Please don't leave! Fight! Fight to stay with me, please!"

She thought she heard him crying, but she wasn't sure. She couldn't even believe this was real, could she? Darien might not hate her, but he didn't love her! She had just seen him riding around with another girl! A girl he was clearly dating due to how closely she had clung to him on that motorcycle.

Serena was surprised that even though this didn't hurt her, for here she didn't love Darien, she was shocked that she cared. She was starting to care if he loved her or not. She could feel the girl's eyes on her as she thought of all this. The girl smiled,

'I can hear your every thought. I'm glad you care. It's a start. Unfortunately we don't have time for you to finish the rest because if you don't start trying to go back soon you're going to die!'

Serena stared at her, "Would that really be such a bad thing?"

The girl's eyes widened, 'YES!'

"I won't go back," Serena stated firmly, "I like it here too much."

'You must go back.'

"No. I won't."

'You must!'

"No."

'You must go back!'

"No!"

'Go back!'

"NO!"

'BACK!'

"NO!" Serena cried and immediately the girl's body slammed into her.

Serena felt the impact as pain rushed through her entire system. Suddenly she realized it wasn't from the impact, but from the inside. She was feeling all the pain again, every single nerve of it. And the girl had disappeared.

She suddenly started to breathe again and even that hurt. Tears welled up in her eyes from the sting in her chest and she heard the others, but they were softer. Serena swallowed, now she had to fight, she couldn't stay here forever feeling this way.

Getting out was the only way she could possibly have any chance of making the pain go away. She gathered her strength and started to move. It was difficult at first and painful. What was once comforting with its warmth and texture now held her bound in place. She swatted it away and slowly made her way through it until she found what she was looking for. A shadow. It was dark and obviously a way out.

She fought to get to it, but something stronger now had hold of her waist. She struggled and fought, but it was no use, she was just sinking further and further into the nothingness and hope was slowly leaving her.

He never wanted to let her go, he felt like such a fool for driving her away. He looked at her lips; even while turning blue from the cold they were still exceptionally enticing. He felt he needed a goodbye kiss and slowly lowered his mouth onto hers.

She was about to give up when suddenly she felt a familiar feeling on her lips and an unknown force propelled her upwards. She was now able to breakthrough the darkness and woke up.

Darien watched in joy as the pink glow from Serena disappeared and the demon was forced out. Immediately once it hit the air it cried out and turned into a pile of dust. Darien turned his attentions back to Serena and watched for any signs that she was waking up.

At first the world was still dark and she felt cold again. It took her a minute to figure out her eyes were closed. When she slowly opened them she found two dark blue ones staring down at her. Darien's face held plain relief, and did she dare say it…joy?

"Darien?" she asked.

She then knew that she must have been imagining the joy for he immediately stood up. Serena's body screamed from the missing warmth and longed to be in his arms again.

He looked at her once more and said gruffly, "I'm…glad you're alright, Sailor Moon."

With that he turned and walked away. Serena would have been able to watch him go, if she hadn't suddenly been crushed in a giant hug by the other scouts.

Amy had tears streaming down her face, "Oh Serena! You're alright!"

Raye's voice sounded angry, "Don't ever scare us like that again! You hear me?"

Serena just lightly smiled and said, "Um…guys? I think it's great that you missed me, but I'm kind of having trouble breath…ing!"

And with that they all immediately backed away a few inches.

Serena smiled up at them, "Hey."

Mina still had tears in her eyes, "We almost lost you."

Serena looked down, "I'm awake now."

"Sailor Moon you're okay!" Serena heard Rini cry and the girl launched herself into Serena's arms.

Serena was taken aback by the affection Rini was showing her. When she looked down into Rini's eyes she saw that Rini idolized her. No, not her…Sailor Moon. Rini despised Serena. Serena almost laughed at the irony. But something in her heart warmed at the small girl's embrace. Against her conscious decision, Serena automatically hugged Rini back.

Then she looked up at the night sky, the moon was now full. Something in her was telling her that Darien still loved her and she decided she was going to find out if she was right.
