A Hidden Life
By Chang Liko
A/N: Hey there! First of all, I'd like to give credit for this story idea to Jen, the Ultimate Sun Princess. She wrote me an email and suggested that I write this story. I asked her to send me some notes for the story, and when she did, I immediately loved the idea. She'll be supplying me notes for the story throughout the entire writing of it, so the story will be composed of both my thoughts and hers. I hope that you like this story. Also, go read Finding Love! I'm making it into a series.
Disclaimer: This is the only time I'll be posting this, so nya! I don't own either Gundam Wing OR Sailor Moon. So everyone who thinks to sue me, I'm broke, so don't bother.
~~~ Prologue ~~~
Serena frowned as she saw Darien and Raye together yet again. She didn't know why she continued to let them think that she didn't know about their relationship. She was sick and tired of all the pitying looks she got from the outer scouts and all the concealed scorn filled looks she got from the inners. Her friends were turning on each other, and the inners and outers couldn't even be in the same room together anymore without getting into an arguement. She hated living in such an atmosphere. Sending one more glare at Darien's and Raye's backs, Serena turned and ran off, not wanting to be late for her classes.
That was another thing that she had kept from the scouts. She wasn't as dumb as everyone thought her to be. Far from it actually. Her age required her to be in high school with the rest of her age group, but she had stopped doing high school classes long ago. In fact, she had been doing University classes since she'd been in grade five, passing everything with ease. She had also talked to all her teachers in high school, saying she wanted them to post her grades as being really low, almost failing, just to keep up her lie. It had taken some convincing, but she had gotten them to do what she wanted.
She sighed, looking up at the University in front of her. Tokyo University. It was like a second home to her. It was where she spent most of her time, preparing for exams and everything else. In this school, she was able to be herself. She could be as smart as she wanted, and still, nobody made fun of her or anything. She actually belonged to something other than Destiny. Grinning, Serena ran up the stairs, heading for her first class, Advanced World Economy.

She got to class a little earlier than everyone else, as usual. Smiling at the teacher, who was at the front of the class organizing her notes, Serena turned, heading for her desk at the back of the class. Settling into her chair, Serena pulled out her notebook, text and a pen, and settled back to wait for class to begin. She was wondering what they'd be doing in class that day, when her thoughts were interrupted by the teacher calling her name.
Looking up, Serena smiled at the teacher, asking, "Yes, Tsuki- sensei?"
"I need to talk to you for a few minutes after class. Could you stay back after the bell rings please? You don't need to worry about being late for your next class. You've been excused for the first half of class," the teacher said, smiling.
Nodding, Serena replied, "Of course, Tsuki-sensei."
Nodding, the teacher smiled, going back to organizing her notes for the class as students started to pile into the class.
Serena smiled at her friends as they started coming in, wondering in the back of her mind what the teacher wanted to speak to her about. She smiled at a red headed girl that sat next to her, asking, "Hey Kokie! How was your date last night?"
Smiling at the younger girl, Kokie sighed, blushing lightly as she exclaimed, "Wonderful! You were right! She's so nice! And so beautiful!"
Giggling, Serena reached out and waved her hand in front of her friend's face when she started to space out, chuckling when her eyes snapped to her, her face turning a nice cherry color. Rolling her eyes, Serena grinned, saying, "I knew that you'd like her. I also know she likes you since I was talking to her the other night. She would have offered to put me through the rest of university in gratitude if it wasn't for the fact that I have a full scholarship for as long as I'm here."
Grinning, Kokie rolled her eyes, saying, "You wouldn't have accepted it anyway. You're too nice to take advantage of someone like that."
Sighing, Serena frowned, saying, "You're right that I'm too nice."
Frowning in worry, Kokie put her hand on Serena's shoulder, questioning softly, "What's wrong, Sere?"
Sighing, Serena turned pained eyes to Kokie, saying, "I saw them together again. It's not that I care about them being together anymore, it's just that I'm hurt that they couldn't tell me that they wanted to be together. And now all the inner scouts are turning against me, and the inners and outers are fighting over their loyalities."
Serena had told Kokie about who she truely was long ago. In fact, Kokie was actually a previous enemy that she had fought by herself. Serena had healed her of all negative energies and had then changed her appearence so that the other scouts couldn't find her. Ever since then, the two had been the best of friends, and Kokie knew more about Serena than even her scouts did, more than even the Time Guardian herself.
Glaring off into space, Kokie growled, snapping out, "If I was still evil, they'd have been dead long ago for ever thinking to question you or your leadership!"
Rolling her eyes, Serena cleared her throat, catching Kokie's attention and making the older woman blush slightly. Grinning, Serena chuckled, saying, "I appreciate your loyality, but you don't need to go that far. I understand why they're acting the way they are. My little act doesn't help everything either. But they have a will of their own, and I can't do anything to stop them, no matter how hurt I become by their actions."
Pouting, Kokie frowned, saying, "I still don't see why I can't do something to them."
Shaking her head, Serena shushed her as their teacher began speaking, motioning for her friend to pay attention to their teacher.

Wufei stared at the destruction around his Gundam, his eyes sad. He had never wanted to do this. Of course, he didn't like the injustice of wars, but he had to fight, no matter what he wanted to do. He glanced at the other Gundams and sighed. They were all friends, but he didn't want to stay with them. He needed some time to himself. Besides, the war was over. They were just destroying people who continued to fight, people who didn't want to believe the war had ended.
Wufei frowned, his mind made up. Silently saying bye to his friends, Wufei started up his Gundam and boosted off, leaving the others staring after him, shocked and confused as to why he had left.

Serena sighed as she watched the ground disappear from beneath the plane. She was about to start a new chapter in her life. She had told her scouts and Darien that she was going to be visiting a sick friend who had just been admitted into the hospital. They had believed her without question. Only her parents and her friends at University knew the truth, and they had been instructed not to tell her scouts anything.
Serena settled back in her seat, closing the window. Sighing, she smiled at the flight attendent that appeared at her side, asking her if she could have something to drink. As she waited for the attendent to return with her drink, she sighed, wondering what her new life would be like.
She smiled at the attendent again when she brought her drink, thanking her. Finishing her drink, Serena gave the empty glass to a passing attendent then settled back to sleep for the rest of her trip, thoughts of her new life filling her dreams.
