Partings By Animobookm Rated G Part 7 Hello... Oh alright, enough with the intro. This is getting booring and aggravating to write every single time at the beginning of each chapter. Now on with the story, Chapter 7 of Partings Things cleared up faster then anyone had thought it would take. All of the Guards were to transport their jobs to Japan and Serena moved her fashion business overseas. The day Serena left San Francisco it was a wonderful clear spring day several months after her Aunt had passed away. Serena had her Aunt Willow cemented in order to bring her back to Japan. As Serena got on the plane she sadly thought of how her old friends would react when they heard the news that she was back. And what would Reenie, (if she was still there) think of her new daughter. Serena knows that Celia and Allison would be calmer then the other senshi but it would still take a lot of time for them to adjust. "Wait!" as a younger inner voice in her shouted, "They would not have recognized you now. Your personality and appearance had change over the years. You have even cut your own hair a act that you would never had done before!" It was true for as Serena now looked at her hair it was up to her chest tied in a braid instead of down to her ankles like it use to be. "Your years away have changed you for now you are no longer the klutz the others believe you are. You haven't spent years learning the arts of fighting over nothing! Why you are skilled in areas that the old Serena would have never achieved, You know several different languages besides Japanese and you have learn all there is to being a lady including playing a instrument. Now you are an acclaimed fashion designer and have regained all your memories not to mention skills from the Silver Millennium. What do you have to worry about?" shouting Serena's inner voice. "So," continue her inner voice quieter "stop worrying and face your problems, never be afraid." Serrie as if she sensed her mother's distress took from her own small pocket the Star Locket and opened it. Serena turned toward the familiar music and smiled. She had given her locket to Serrie as a gift of love vowing to past it down her daughter. Calming down Serena then made up her of not to let her identity known to her Senshi until the time or her feelings were right. With her feelings resolved Serena relaxed and hugged her daughter close as the plane continue onto the place where Serena would have dream that she would never go back to again. Several weeks later... The day started out normal for a certain priestess of the Cherry Hill Temple." Eight years." said Raye Hino quietly as she prepared for opening the temple. After Serena left there was no more monsters or enemies attacking and all of the Sailor Scouts had continue in growing up without their Princess regretting the last time battle they had. When the Scouts had realized their mistakes it was too late for Irene had said quite tearfully to them, "Serena is gone." showing them the note she had left behind and the terrible truth had set in. Raye had tried to find her but the Silver Crystal was with Serena protecting her from any seeking eyes. Celia couldn't do anything about it for the time path had change and it didn't permit her to change it, but she had said "All will come to an end 8 years from now. " So the Scouts had waited patiently for all these years and now the time has come. Through the years all the Scouts had pursuit their dreams achieving it with honors but none will not forget the bind that binds them all and without their princess there will always be a lonely gap in them. Raye's life had not change much. She had become the priestess she had always wanted to be. Chad and her grandpa were still there, Grandpa had retired and Chad had become his successor in being a priest. Later in the afternoon as Raye was feeding her crows she felt several familiar presents were approaching. Turning around she saw that her friends of the Inner and Outer Scouts had gathered minus Pluto. Each Senshi with their own skills and presence were looking at each other warily. For without their princess most of them had gone their separate ways but still they communicated with each other. Amy was now a successful doctor dating Greg, Lita own a chain of successful restaurants. Mina was a successful model for fashion. Corrine and Nerissa had a relationship with each other, each highly successful in areas of music, art and racing. Allie was going through college studying to be a doctor. Celia if she was there and not at the Time Gate was a scientist for physics and astronomy. Reeny had left for the future shortly after Serena had left Tokyo, and communication had been cut off. As each of the Senshi greeted each other they had saw that their Prince was approaching with the two guardians. He was now the unspoken leader of the Sailor Scouts and he was paid with respect in the absence of their Princess. Age has harden and matured Darien Mamoru Chiba for he now looked exactly like the image of Neo-King Endymion, the king that he was to be in an unpredictable future. These years had been lonely for him without his Serena. After Serena had left Darien in all his grief and regret thrown himself into his career. It wasn't until Celia and Luna forced him to look at himself making him face the future ahead. So through the 8 lonely years without Serena he worked building a reputation for himself as a famous speaker and scientist. And now finally his wait was ending for soon he will see his love again. But still a mental voice cry "What would happen if Serena wouldn't accept you? Pushing that certain thought away, Darien greeted each of the Scouts and said, "We all meet here today to discuss what could happen when Serena appears. These past 8 years had been without yoma attacks. What happened at our last battle could force us to confront the problem we have at hand with Gannon. Gannon had claimed to know Serena since the Silver Millennium." As soon as they started to talk more about the problem at hand a blinding pink light suddenly burst forth. Covering their eyes, everyone waited till the light cleared and when it did, they were confronted with a sight that nobody had ever expected to see without Serena. For standing before them was a girl in a typical school uniform with long pink rabbit shaped long ponytails. Besides her was a half-grown gray-lavender cat with the symbol of a crescent moon on its forehead. With a cry of happiness the girl ran toward Darien. As everyone stared shocked, Darien pulled his future daughter close with tears of wonderment and relief. A same reunion was going on nearby, Luna and Artemis with their own daughter. Everyone then crowded around hugging the future princess of Crystal Tokyo. Reeny had truly grown up into a beautiful lady looking nearly, as she was when she was Black Lady. Disentangling herself from the Senshi Reeny said, "My name is now Rena or Lady. I am 16 years old and I have completed my studies and training to be a senshi. Papa had sent me back here so I could study in being an artist and so that I could become a lady." As everyone continues chatting with Rena on what to do, Diana then asked, "Where is Her Highness Serenity?" As an uncomfortable silence felled the group. Rena and Diana confused waited till Darien said, "Come in to the temple where I will tell you what has happen." Rena could only follow Darien into the temple as the other scouts followed suit. And it was there Darien told Rena what had happen over the last 8 years. After Darien finished his story Rena could only say sadly "So that was what had happen between Mama and Papa. Although everything is very peaceful in the future there is a great sadness between my parents that I can't comprehend when she was there. You see I haven't seen Mama for already 3 years. She just left one day. We search for her a long time until one-day Puu said to us that to find Mama we would have to stop searching for Mama. She would come back home when the time is right. Papa with the other senshi has been keeping watch on Crystal Tokyo. I just hope that soon one day I will see Mama again." Everyone digested this piece of information on the changed future with ill-ease and uneasy thoughts. Meanwhile unknown to the Senshi at a deserted mansion nearby stood Gannon. Trill and anticipation raced through him as he felt the sparkling presence of the moon princess. His skill of detecting the princess had came through to him at last. 8 years of fruitless searching had made him really mad. The princess had disappeared after their last meeting and there he was alone recouping from the wound she had given him. Thinking in his head "Oh sweet princess how my heart and wound burns for you. My love will burn for you even if you have wounded me dearly. I still want you and for the grievances you have caused me you will pay for it. You shall be mine soon!" Alone brooding Gannon didn't notice someone else presence until one hand purpled tipped hand touch his shoulders. Gannon turned around and saw Seraphina. He thought "Ah My most loyal lapdog. What a fool to believe that I will ever love her. However she is useful to me and so I shall send her to do my bidding until she is not of use anymore." Gannon then said harshly "Seraphina, I command you to go and look for the princess and when you do. Capture and bring her to me." "Yes Master Gannon. I will." Answered Seraphina. But while she walked away from him Seraphina thought "You think I would bring back the princess for you. I think not. You will love me one day as I have loved you." Sorry about for not writing for a long time but with a case of minor writer's block and Summer School this is what I have written so far. I hoped you enjoyed Chapter 7 of Partings.
