Disclaimer: I lay no claim over the series xxxHOLiC or Sailor Moon.
A/N: This is anime based, and takes place after the R season but before Setsuna appears in the S season. It's an explanation of why Setsuna is allowed to break the rule that binds her to the Time Gate.
The two storied, almost Victorian styled house looked so out of place among the skyscrapers. Maybe that uniqueness drew her to the place. Or maybe it was the dual crescent moons on the fence posts. Of course the true reason why she walked past the gate to explore, even though she wasn't supposed to be their in the first place, was hitsuzen. Walking past the gate, she saw a dark haired woman sitting on the porch drinking tea.
"I'm surprised to see you."
She walked closer, "How can you be surprised when I don't even know you?"
The woman smiled, "I know that you have a wish, Sailor Pluto."
She stiffened.
"Of course, Sailor Pluto, Guardian of Time is quite a mouthful. Do you have any other names I could you call you by?"
"S-Setsuna."
"Well, Setusna, come sit with me. There's no need to be so nervous."
She took enough steps to stand in front of the woman but she refused to sit down.
"How do you know my identity as Sailor Pluto?"
"It certainly helps to be able to see the symbol of Pluto blazing on your forehead. Don't worry, only I can see it. But you're trying to force me off topic. As I was saying earlier, you have a wish."
"Even if I did have a wish, I'm not going to tell you, a stranger that I don't even know the name of."
The woman took a sip of her tea, "I could grant your wish, for a price."
Setsuna almost snorted at the impossibility of it, "Unless you can revoke ridged rules from millenniums ago, I doubt it."
"Oh, what rules? The rules that you've disobeyed by coming here to see me? I'm flattered that you would take such risks for me, actually."
Her eyes widen, "You aren't supposed to know about that!"
"The name is Yuko; I don't like being call 'you.' Anyway, I know a lot of things, Setsuna. And I could null one of the rules. Of course, that has a very high price."
Setsuna didn't think before answering, "What ever the price, I'll pay."
Placed the tea cup aside and stood up. Taking a few steps closer, she looked Setsuna in the eye, "Are you sure?"
"Completely."
She brought her face closer to Setsuna's and a wolfish grin found its way onto her face, "Close your eyes."
She did as Yuko commanded.
Yuko leaned in closer and their lips met, then, after an eternity, they parted. Setsuna blushed.
"You have paid the price and thus your wish has been granted. You can leave the Gates of Time without consequence. However," she paused, "I have to admit, you are quite a good kisser, despite your lack of experience and being caught off guard."
She ran before Yuko could say anything else.
And that's how Setsuna Meioh, the senshi of Pluto and Guardian of Time, received her first kiss.
A/N: I don't think I did a good job writing this.
