Hi there! I hope u enjoy the parts before. Thanks to all the people who had written or have instant message me so far in supporting this story. Thanks for the comments. =) In last chapter of this story Serena/Serenity found the Moon Blade. And now without further ado I present to you Chapter 6 of Partings. Partings As Serenity was unconcious in her mind she was still thinking of her past memories. When I had made up my mind to learn the skills of using the Moon Blade I didn't know nor realized how it have greatly effect my life. It was a very grueling process for I had to learn everything myself and secretly. It was 6 years later when I finally accomplished in learning all there is was in the scroll. I was still very young, 14 years old to be exact, yet I was skilled in the arts of magic. Even if I acted bored in class not paying much attention I did bother to pay attention to the lessons that was taughted to me. Knowing magic had help me with controling the Moon Blade for I could turn it into whatever sharp kind of object I wish for like a small dagger or a broad sword and it also help me with transporting anyplace I desired to go. I had also found out that my Moon Blade will never let anyone touch it unless it was me. The blade knows who I am and will always help me. When I had learn all the skills to all this strengh and power. I was determined not to waste it so I decided that I wanted to be a fighter for justice. After this resolution was made I created a secret alias for myself I was the Star Moonlight Soldier. Fighter for justice. I helped people in need. Even if the Moon Kingdom and many of the planets part of the Silver Milleniumn was known to be peaceful there was still a dark spot to it. There was still robbery, assault and rape going on. However perfect people say of something there is always a dark spot to it and so I was determined to bring a light to it. I became a mysterious fighter who appears out of nowhere fighting and protecting the innocence. Nobody would ever suspect that the Princess of the Moon was also its mysterious protector. Yet however skilled I was physical and mentally I was still very innocent filled with thoughts of young love. Oh how I dreamed of someday a handsome man would sweep me off my feet. Hey a girl can always dream. I was filled with love. During the days when I was in company of my senshi and guardians I would act like a total klutz prentending to be a foolish princess disgusing my true nature from all who know me however during the night I would still be innocent but I would often feel depressed and alone. I don't know why I act this way yet I do for it has been this way for years. I had always kept secrets. But this was all before my life as Serena Usagi Tuskino. I was the Moon Princess and I was a person that was said to be innocent yet in truth was not so innocent. Serenity laughted as her subconciouse mind compared the personality of her past and present. But sobered up as she thought of her Mother Queen Serenity. Mother had taught me from childhood was that I was to be her sucessor for the throne of the Silver Milleniumn and for this I was pursued by many men who wanted me for my beauty and the power it had provoided. I had never met any man that was worthy of my affections. Not until him. Maybe it was fated to happen. For sometimes destiny would happen just when you didn't want it to. For me destiny had occured when I met Prince Endymion of Earth. I was 16 years old and I could still remebered the first time we have met very clearly. It was the day that the Moon Generals have come back to the Kingdom. They had left for 9 years studying to fulfilled their destiny and place in the Moon Kingdom. For even if they were known as the Generals they had to earn their spots. I was waiting for them with my Senshi in the gardens. My mother had told me to wait there with my senshi until Luna calls us. Mother had appointed me my senshi when I was 8 to protect me from harm. I got along well with both the Inner and Outer senshi yet the Outer Senshi was more distant and sophisticated then the inner was. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto was older then me by 2 years, Saturn was the younger then me by 2 years however the Inner Senshi was my age so we got along better. It had gotten boring for me to wait so when Venus suggested to play Blindmen's Bluff I agreed but I was to be the Blindman. Of course Mars kept tauting me . I was pretty peeved at Mars and was determined to catch her.Listening for her as the others ran off. I wandered around the garden blindly feeling. After a while I felt someone's presence. Determined to catch onto something I immediately latched onto that person. I pulled off my bindfold expecing to see one of my senshi but in fact the person I was holding onto wasn't one of my senshi but a strange man. Surprised I letted go of the man and ran off without looking back. I was very embarrassed and was looking for a place to hide when I noticed that the stranger had followed me. Stoping I waited till the man stoped several feet away. Turning around to confront the man for the reason of why he was following me I was startle to noticed the eyes of this man was blue like mine. It was then I noticed how handsome this man was. With black hair and broad shoulders. He was nearly a foot taller then me and was dressed in a suit of black armor. Stopping in front of this stranger I then asked him "Why are you following me." He answered "I wanted to see if I have caused any reason to make you uncomfortable and give you this in apology." Holding out the most beautiful flower I had ever seen before. It was red with small thorns and was still blooming. It was a flower I have never seen before for it didn't bloom on the moon and so I didn't know till later that it was a rose. I was surprised when I saw the flower given to me. I have never been given such a simple gift before for the other times I had recieved gifts from men they were always very expensive and elaborate. I then graciously accepted it. Looking at the flower I murmured thanks and brought the flower close to my nose smelling it. It smelled wonderful, fresh with a scent I had never smelled before. I smiled and then asked "Who are you?" The man smiled and said his name "I am Endymion Prince of the Planet Earth." I was a bit fluster at the sight of the Prince of the Earth. For I had never seen a person from Earth before. I had always hoped to go to Earth for it was a beautiful place so different from the Moon. We stood there for a long time in a dazed spell not knowing exactly what to say or do. I didn't know what to say or do as I stared at him and he stared at me. For I was bombarded with feelings that was too strange for me to comprehend. So it wasn't until Luna came fetching for me did I react. Knowing that I was late again for the arrival of my guards. I quickly said bye and ran off. As I was running off I was filled with curiosity for the reason why the Prince of Earth was here. By the time I reached the main court of the palace I was out of breath and sweaty. However when I saw my guards I didn't care. Running I went and hugged every single one of my guards and their guardians. I haven't seen them a few years and I had missed them. They were always like brothers to me. But by the time I finished greeting my guards the whole court was in shock as Luna and my mother was looking at me with disapproving looks. I quickly apologized and went to my seat beside my inner and outer senshi. And after a long ceramony of speechs and swearing in I saw that Endymion had came sitting near my guards. I was pretty curious of the reason why he was there until my mother said that he was to be a guest in the palace for a while. He was the Guards friend from Earth and he was here to learn being a ambassador from earth. By the time the ceramony was done 4 of my senshi was asking me to make an intro for them the to the guards. Love must be in the air for also 4 of my guards were asking me to make an introduction for them to my senshi. So with a hearty heart I introdued White Tiger to Venus, White Bear to Jupiter who had stars in both of their eyes. Even Pluto the oldest among us was intrigued by White Phase and Saturn the youngest was besheeched by White Star. Maybe it was love at first sight for nearly all of them for the only ones that were normal enough was Uranus, Neptune, Mercury, Mars and White Falcon. I was a little matchmaker helping out while in my heart I was also dealing with my feelings for Prince Endymion. Weeks turned into months as nearly all of my friends relationships progressed I realized that I too have fallen in love with Prince Endymion. He was such a wonderful man I was floating on air nearly evey single time I see him! Every single night however I was still fighting injustice with my Moon Blade, but what I didn't know was that my mother had already known a long time that I was the mysterious Star Moonlight Soldier. I finally recalled the reason why nobody have ever rememberd the Star Moonlight Solider mother had erased the memories ever knowing of the mysterious soldier of every single person at the time of the defeat of the Moon Kingdom including Pluto. Even if nobody remembers the mysterious Soldier I could now remember the day Mother took away my powers locking it up. It was a normal day and I was being courted by Endymion when mother summoned me to the temple. When I went there I was shocked to see her holding my Moon Blade. I had hidden it in my room. Somehow Mother had controlled it with her silver crystal. The silver crystal had been past down for generations and somehow the Moon Blade had reacted to its presence of energy pressing down on its own powers not to move. My mother had then confronted me telling me that she knows everything I didn't tried to hide anything after she had disclosed my secret. Mother then said to me in these words that I could still remember very clearly "Dear Serenity you have to know that I will now have to erase and take away all memories of the Moon Blade. I know that you are a strong person in the areas of love for other people however You have a destiny to face and being a soldier was never part of your destiny." As I cried out "No!" Mother used her silver crystal blocked my memories and I forgot all of my memories as the Star Moonlight Warrior. The Mysterious Soldier disappeared afterwards and I woke up the next morning being my old clumsy loving self. Endymion and I were in love and we were planning to get married. I had given to him as a love token a star locket that plays a special song in hope that he will always remember my love for him. I though that somehow all my dreams will come true at last. But then again I didn't know how sometimes life could be very harsh. War had broke out in the Silver Millenium and Earth was blocked off from contact with the moon or any other planets, because there was a new enemy one that change and destroyed the life I had once had Queen Beryl and her Negaforce. I didn't really know what was happening for nobody told me what was happening, but one thing I know was that Mother had by then forbbided all contact with Earth. I couldn't see Endymion at all yet on that fateful night just before the Moon Kingdom was defeated. My prince came to see me and we danced our last dance togeather. But as soon as we had our last dance did Artemise and Luna came running in shouting "We are under attack!" The Outer Planets had fallen and there was no time to mourn for Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Saturn for Queen Beryl had finally attacked the Moon. The youmas were too stronge and many people died. Amid the chaos I was very scared for there was an unspoken evil all around. I was wandering around looking for Endymion and when I found him I met Queen Beryl. I was captured and Endymion died protecting me. I had by then known in my heart that all of my Senshi and Guards had died protecting me and the Moon Kingdom. And so without any qualms in my heart I sacraficed my own life. Little did I know that my mother will use her silver crystal defeating the Negaforce and Quenn Beryl and sending us all to Earth for a new life. There I started my life as Serena Usagi Tuskino a girl with innocence yet filled with dreams of just about anything but school. And when the day I was 14 I met a cat name Luna which change my life forever. I awoke up after a long time of being unconsicous but I was filled with the memories of past and present in mind. Strangly enough I didn't recall Serrie in my memories. I was a bit mystify about her powers I wanted to ask mother but when I went outside the temple I saw all of my friends waiting with Serrie and Mother. I had changed the Moon Blade into a small dagger and straped it to my thigh. The bodysuit I wore I remembered fondly was the same disguise I had when I was the Star Moonlight Soldier. Serenity smiled at her mother. Walking over to her daughter Queen Serenity said "My daughter I summoned you here to finally awake the memories and powers of the Star Moonlight Soldier for you and the others will face the hardest trial you will ever have to face and then when it is over I could truly say that you will find peace in life.The guards have all have their own memories restored to them. I am sorry if I have caused any sadness for you. I just hope that someday you all will truly find peace and happiness." As Queen Serenity finished saying these words her spirit faded smiling and just when her spirit disappeared Queen Serenity whisper to her daughter "I love you." With tears streaming down her face Princess Serenity whisped back "I love you mother." Holding her daughter close she opened her palm with the silver crystal she took out her blade and attach the crystal into the top of the handle of the blade. As a blinding light from the silver crystal surrounded the whole group it transported them from the moon to earth. When they all returned to earth it was already nighttime and Serena tucked her daughter into bed as she prepared beds for her guests. Just as she got bedding for all her friends the telephone rang and when Serena heared what the other person on line was talking her face turned pale. The guards gather around her as she was shaking her head in denial. Serena hung up and grabbed her blade off the table holding it and shouting the words "Silver Milleniumn Moon Crystal Make Up!" Transforming into the Star Moonlight Soldier Serena ran out of the door with her guards. The guardians stayed behind to look after Serrie Leaping into the air and running off to some place the guards didn't know what was happening and could only follow their Princess. When they arrived at a hospital Serena powered down and said "They called me and said that Aunt Willow had suffered a stroke. She is now in a coma and they are saying that it looks like she can't make it!" As the guards looked at her silently Serena ran to find the room where her beloved aunt was staying, Seeing all the machines hook up to her aunt and how frail she looked.Serena could only walk to her aunt's beside where she started a vigil for her aunt. Aunt Willow never woke up from her coma and died the next morning. Solemnly Serena prepared her Aunt's funeral but before her aunt could be buried a lawyer came to read Willow Yushigi last will. Stunned with disbelief Serena could barely accepted what was happening. Aunt Willow had named her and Serrie heirs to her foutune. But the only disheartening problem to Serena was that she wanted to be buried in her family cematery in Tokyo next to her late husband. Willow had left the house in San Francisco along with a large mansion in Tokyo and an empty building in Juuban. Serena could only numbly accept what was to happen as she and her Moon Guards prepared to move back to Tokyo, Japan the place where it all started. And just as Serena was packing up she was determined to go back to her homeland never as Serena Usagi Tuskino again but as the famous fashion designer Selene. Ending Notes Finally it has reached a climax Serena goes back to Japan! Hope you enjoyed my story so far!=)
