Disclaimer I don't own Sailor Moon/Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (pgsm) or Batman. I do however own Kayla and the plot. If I decide to use her, I don't own the character Rina/Sailor Eclipse either.

A/n: Before anyone asks, no this is not a triple crossover. While the sailor moon side of the crossover will focus on the PGSM side (plot, looks and the like) Some elements and aspects of the series may be reflective of the anime version of Sailor Moon. (Such as some personality traits). The story itself is just something that I can't get to leave my head. Updates may be few and far in-between. Be prepared.

Warning: As always, my story will have adult material, such as mild to strong language, sexual situations, violence and other adult themes. Consider this your warning.

Chapter 1

It had been four years, four long years since it had all started. The almost daily battles, the sleepless nights, the never-ending feeling that the fate of the world literally rested on her shoulders, but despite this she continued fighting. Even when she felt like giving up, she kept right on going. Yet, despite everything she'd been through over the past four years, it seemed that someone or something wanted to drag her back in. Something she thought long gone. Shattered scattered throuout the cosmos.

The endless almost daily battles and struggles with the dark forceses had died down considerably over the past two years. Except for the occasional youma attack, all seemed quiet and once again life seemed to return to normal, but for 18-year-old Tsukino Usagi nothing would ever be the same again. Why should she have expected it too? Ever since she received her powers and destney at the tender age of 14, she longed to return to what she considered to be a "normal" life. But, no matter how hard she tried, it was just not meant to be. Life had a way of twisting things around forcing someone to do something they would much rather not do. Why should it be different for her, the young woman who had given her life more times then she could count?

As she sat on the plane bound for the states with her former boyfriend and lover seated next to her, all she could do was think back to how all of this started. All the berried pain, the nightly battles, the fear, and the one object that meant death and destruction or life and rebirth depending on how it was used. The mystic Silver Crystal She had felt the tingle, the power that came with that dreaded stone. After the defeat of Baryal, she hadn't felt it for a while, but when a dark shadow loomed over them four years later, the feeling returned. She had become Sailor Moon one more time—or so she thought. No, actually, shortly after that event, she could feel the power running through her vains. A feeling of dread settling in the pit of her stomach. However, when reports that a public search had begun for that crystal, this time in the States, it took all of her self-control not to loose the contents of her breakfast in front of her mother.

Under any other cermstances Usagi would have died for the opportunity to visit the states and spend time with her ex-boyfriend. But, despite outward appearences Usagi had grown considerabley since obtaining her powers. When the news broke, she couldn't prepare for the trip that awaited her fast enough. Her mother and friends—who had remained in Japan after their final defeat of Baryal and her shadow, Mio, first thought her interest lie in trying to rekindle their romantic feelings after a mutual separation—that couldn't have been further from the truth. She realized without being told, she'd have to fallow the trouble less she desired a third repeat of history at the cost of so many lives. While Mamoru, her ex-boyfriend and partner learned he had been accepted to study in the states, Usagi realized she would need to do the same. However, while Usagi grew in many ways, her studies and schooling had suffered greatly. Not that she hadn't tried to improve, she just couldn't seem to concentrate on her schoolwork. When opportunity arose allowing her o study in the states as a transfer student, it took a lot of work on Usagi's part to convince her parents to allow her to go. Now, here she sat her mind spinning in several directions awaiting the announcement that signaled their arrival once again counting on Mamoru to tell her when to prepare for landing.

Her stomach remained in knots, her eyes darting from Mamoru to the window and back again. ::Just breathe Usagi you can do this.:: she repeated the words in her head several times, once again trying to keep her stomach calm. She never did care for flying, not having any experiences to compare it to. And, here she sat on a plane for what a day, or two at most? No, she would not be repeating this process again. At least not anytime soon.

"We'll be landing shortly, be sure your seat is in the upright position, get anything you stashed n under the seat and relax. Landings are often smoother then take off's." Mamoru tapped Usagi on the shoulder to get her attention translating the instructions before they could be repeated.

"I… can do this…" Usagi tried to tell herself as she robotically fallowed her formar lover's instructions. As the plane neared the runway, the power she felt tickeling her senses seemed to triple in strength. Her heart started racing, and all color drained from her face.

"Usagi-chan?" Mamoru turned to face the brown-haired moon rabbit. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Usagi answered automatically without stopping to think about her answer. "I guess flying just shook me up a little more then I thought." She replied, which was mostly true. If this had been any other occasion, Usagi would have been just fine, but the uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach refused to ease. The closer to the ground she got, the tighter in knots became her stomach. If her antics weren't drawing a crowd, Usagi would have told the complete truth.

"We've landed." Mamoru informed standing to get their things from the overhead compartment." A car should be waiting."

Usagi nodded joining him as they walked hand-in-hand out of the aircraft. It was the first physical contact they had allowed one another ever since she had called off their engagement. "Just relax." Mamoru encouraged eyes searching for their ride.

"Why are you moving into the dorms? I'm sure we could stay together…" Usagi inquired not quite ready to release his hand.

"We went over this before Usagi, I have to. It's part of being a freshman."

"Oh." Usagi let out a sigh as her eyes scanned the street. "How are we supposed to find this guy?"

As if in answer to her question, a black car pulled up in front and a tall dark-haired man stepped out. "Tsukino Usagi, Chiba Mamoru?"

"OH yes, how may we help you?" Mamoru replied, speaking flawless English. Usagi turned and looked at her former lover. She knew he was well-rounded, but had no idea he was good at speaking English. Flawless even.

"I'm Bruce Wayne, your host Miss Tsukino. I can also offer you a ride to the University Mr. Chiba."

"Thank you Mr. Wayne."

"Can we get something to eat first?" Usagi looked at her now-growling stomach. "I'm hungry."

Mamoru couldn't help but chuckle at Usagi once again. While she seemed to be a bundle of nerves, only moments ago, her love for food seemed to have surfaced once more. "Why of course, you must be famished after such a long flight." Bruce replied easily switching to Usagi's mother tongue. "We can stop on the way."

During the car ride, and even during the meal, Usagi stayed usually and uncharacteristically quiet. Normally inhaling her food at an inhuman speed, she opted to remain silent. Mamoru continued to glance at her every so often, but couldn't quite pin point what might have set her off. Perhaps there was something she was trying to tell him, but he'd have to get it out of her at a later time.

"Are you certain you can't move into the dorm tomorrow morning Mamo-chan?" Usagi asked as they were once again on the road to where Usagi assumed to be the college that he was to attend.

"I've got orientation first thing in the morning, but I can call you later tonight." Mamoru replied. He hated to put Usagi off like this, but he really did have a long first day ahead of him. While his things weren't many, he had barely arrived on time as it was.

"I understand Mamo-chan, gomen ne." Usagi returned her gaze out the window resuming her previous silence. How was she going to tell him that the silver crystal was back… really back… flowing through her once more? It was not as strong, but she'd know that feeling anywhere as well as the fear that came with it. Would Princess Serenity leave her alone this time? Or, was she part of the package?

Mamoru couldn't help but wonder what could be bothering Usagi. Did she harbor some kind of gulit for breaking off their engagement? Was she trying to reconsider her actions? After all, she was the one to slam down her ring and say "I will not Merry you". So, did she wish to change her mind? If so they would have to start over, and Mamoru didn't think he could do that. Naturally if his services as Tuxedo Kamon would resurface, he'd protect her without a second thought, but that wasn't enough to justify marriage. No, that ship had sailed a long time ago. He realized—after thinking it over when Usagi broke off the engagement—that he just didn't quite like her in that way.

Sure they had their fun times, but in all honesty that wasn't enough. He would be doing it for the wrong reasons. He wanted to love her for her, not because she used to be, and in some ways still was, a long lost princess. She however, he also realized only did it because she was in love with the idea of having someone who could love her, not for her, but for who she used to be. Deep down he didn't want that for her, nor did he want it for himself. That wasn't any kind of life. No. She and he both deserved happiness, a love that was pure, and while she apparently didn't understand that he needed to be strong—for them both.

"We're here." The sound of an elderly man broke Mamoru from his thoughts. "Do you need help with your bags?"

"No, I've—"

"I'll help." Usagi had her seatbelt off before Mamoru had time to react. It was the first she'd spoken since being turned down by Mamoru moments before. His gaze shifted to the young woman to his left casting her a warning look, but froze upon seeing the look in her eyes. Despite the somewhat eager tone lacing her words, he could sense something in her he had all but blocked. Perhaps talking to her and saying a proper good-bye would be in order.

"Come along then Usagi-chan." Mamoru urged stepping out of the car pulling some of his school information out of his pocket. "We don't wish to keep Mr. Wayne waiting, now do we? He was kind enough to drop me off the least we can do is make this easy for him."

Usagi nodded bouncing along side him. What she had to say couldn't wait, but she understood the hidden message behind his words. Though as her heart started to race, she couldn't help but wonder about what bomb shell would be dropped on him.

Usagi took a minute to admire the room before her. It wasn't exactly a palace, but it was decent. Perfect for Mamoru and whoever he shared the room with. Placing his two suitcases down by the unmade bed, her eyes searched for any ears before closing the door and locking it from the inside.

"If this is about us getting back together again for—" Mamoru started to say thinking that's why Usagi insisted on talking to him alone.

"The silver crystal's back."

"I know…" Mamoru started, "That's why we're here remember?"

Usagi took his hand; put it to her chest before shaking her head. "No, I mean it's really back."

At those words, any and all color drained from Mamoru's face. He knew what she meant now.

"How… long…?"

"It came back after we defeated Miho the second time."

"Oh… my… god."
