Hi! I've been re-watching Sailor Moon episodes and I saw the ones where Darien and Serena go through their break up stages and the whole Rini being a brat fiasco. It always drove me nuts that Serena always begged Darien for them to get back together and he always treated her like shit and cared for Rini until they got back together. This is my spin on how things would've been if Serena didn't take Darien's shit and gave some it back to him. Inspired by the song Gives You Hell and also from Straightjacket Feeling.

I watched him turn away around after the battle we just fought. I couldn't help but say "Tell me Tuxedo mask, it can't be true that you don't care for me. I know because you came to my rescue again" I prayed deep within my heart that none of this was real. "He can't mean what he said. He still loves me. We are meant to be together. None of this is true! Oh please don't let any of this be true… Darien."

He looked ahead without turning around to face me and I saw his hands clench into a fist. "That was just for old time's sake."

My heart dropped and I could feel tears forming in my eyes. I tried to swallow them down as I spoke "Tell me Darien, tell me why you don't care anymore." It was no use, I felt a tear fall down. "Why Darien?"

"Let's leave the past where it belongs." He replied. "Ok?"

I looked up at him when he said the last part and I watched him walked away from me without turning. "Why was he doing this? Why was he putting me through so much pain?"

I felt as if my heart shattered into even more tiny pieces. It was a pain that was also ripping through my body. I stood frozen in one place and tears were falling down my cheeks. My vision began blur. "How could he do this to me-to us?" I wanted to call out his name but something stopped me and then all of a sudden I felt anger. "Why won't he tell me what's going on? Did he ever love me at all?"

Luna appeared from out of nowhere "There you are! I found some injured shop girls in the basement. You've got to help them!"

I'm sure she heard the small noise that I made. I didn't mean to let it slip from my mouth but I couldn't help it. I barely heard what she said but I was still watching Darien walk away.

Luna asked "Serena?"

"In a second Luna." I replied. I still felt hurt inside but I felt my anger grow more and more. None of this made any sense! We were in love not too long ago and we just became a couple. "How did we go from being destined lovers to being broken up?!" So many questions flowed through my head that I couldn't' think straight. But I was angry that he couldn't give me a straight answer on why he was doing all of this. What upset me the most was that after all we've been through; this how he repays my love for him? By ripping my heart out?! And for what? Something that he isn't man enough to tell me? At that moment, I knew that I wasn't going to be the one begging him to come back. I wasn't going beg him for us to get back together. I wasn't going to beg him for anything! "Is this what he really wants? Fine if he was going to act like this then that's fine with me!" I cleared my voice and looked at Luna "Alright Luna, show me where the injured girls are."

Luna blinked and looked at me for a second "Are you ok Serena?"

I forced a smile "Yes I am. Now come on we can't waste any more time!"

She looked at me again, making sure that I was and then nodded her head "Right, this way!" She lead the way and I followed, forcing myself to not look back and look forward with my head held high. I had to be strong and not show any signs of being vulnerable from what just happened. I didn't want anyone to know-at least not yet. I knew that they would probably find out tomorrow but I wanted to keep it a secret for the moment and not have everybody worry about me.

I was able to put on a brave face to everyone for the rest of the day but late at night when I was sure Rini was asleep and Luna was in another room asleep, I cried. I let out everything I was holding in, praying that I would be strong tomorrow if I were to see Darien and part of me knew I would.

:) Well I hoped you like it. I will be working on this and also on A New Friend For Edward. It'll be a little while before I post anything new on both of them because I got finals to study for which I should be doing now...Please review and let me know what you think! :D
