A/N: I know I should be writing another chapter of 'Power of the Moon' but this was stuck in my head and had to be written down. Hope people enjoy and please review.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon.
Prologue: Tuxedo Mask revealed
Chiba Mamoru was your ordinary university student. He studied hard so that he could become a doctor. He didn't have time for anything except school and had only one best friend, or friend at all Furuhta Motoki.
They had known each other since high school, though it was a wonder that they were friends at all. Mamoru was the loner type who kept to himself, while Motoki enjoyed his work at the Crown arcade and café and getting to meet lots of people.
Mamoru was perfectly content with his life that is until the day a certain feline dropped into his life and changed it forever.
Mamoru was walking to university and he was running late. His car was in the shop and for some reason he couldn't find his motorcycle helmet anywhere. To top it off he hadn't really slept as he kept being woken up from a strange dream about a woman begging for his help. Problem was that Mamoru couldn't understand what she was saying.
He had this dream on and off since he was involved in a car accident that had claimed the lives of his parents as well as his memories. For some reason he could never shake it though lately the woman had been growing more urgent.
Mamoru picked up the pace, he had never been late in his life and he didn't want to start now. He came across a group of kids that were too busy to notice that an adult had joined their group.
"Come on let's try to experiment on it," a kid grinned as Mamoru saw that they had been surrounding a defenceless cat.
"Hey back off," Mamoru gave the kids his best adult glare.
The kids ran off quite fast, obviously scared of Mamoru.
Mamoru bent over the cat and saw the bandaids on its forehead. For some reason he was compelled to peel them off. Underneath was a golden crescent moon that shone briefly causing Mamoru to blink in disbelief.
"I need to get more sleep," Mamoru shook his head as he quickly continued on his way.
He was too far down the street to hear the feline say, "there's something different about that man."
Mamoru had a long day and decided to make his way to the Crown to get a much needed caffeine boost. He was walking down the street when he was hit by a paper ball. He looked up and saw a blonde girl wailing about her marks to another girl with wavy auburn hair. Figuring that the test was the blonde's he walked up to her, unwrapping the test.
"A thirty that's pretty bad tell me are you lazy or just stupid?" Mamoru smirked.
"What would you know you jerk," Usagi yelled as she grabbed the test from the stranger's hand.
"I'd try studying if I were you Odango atama," Mamoru called.
Usagi turned around, her cerulean blue eyes flashing with anger. She looked as though she wanted to pummel Mamoru but though better of it. She grabbed Naru's hand and stormed off, though not before Mamoru heard Naru say, "He is cute Usagi," and Usagi's answering snort of disbelief at her friend.
Mamoru shook his head and continued on his way. There was something about that girl that was familiar to him. Maybe he had seen her at the Crown.
"Mamoru nice of you to drop in," Motoki grinned at his best friend.
"I would have been quicker if it wasn't for this ditz who threw her test paper in my face," Mamoru said as he took the coffee Motoki had offered him.
"I'm not a ditz," cam a shriek from behind him.
"Hey Usagi," Motoki greeted one of his favourite customers as Mamoru winced.
"Whatever you say odango atama," Mamoru shook his head.
"Stop calling me that my name is Usagi," Usagi yelled.
"I see you two have met," Motoki said as he prepared Usagi's usual sundae.
"Unfortunately," Mamoru muttered under his breath.
Usagi decidedly ignored him and paid for her sundae, while graciously thanking Motoki. She and Naru left to go and play the video games, though not before Usagi gave Mamoru a glare that Motoki hadn't thought she was capable of.
"Mamoru you just met the girl and she already hates you," Motoki sighed.
"I have that affect when I want to," Mamoru took another sip of his coffee.
"Usagi is one of the kindest people I know, I'm amazed that you got her to hate you with one meeting," Motoki said.
Mamoru shrugged, "I've got to go I'll see you tomorrow."
Motoki waved as Mamoru left the Crown. He managed to get to the book store and collect the text books he had been waiting on when he realised how late it was. He walked down the street when he saw something unusual in Osaka Jewels.
A headache started to form within him as he collapsed onto the deserted pathway.
"Its alright don't fight what is happening," came a voice.
Mamoru looked around but all he saw was a cat, the same one he had rescued earlier that day.
"That's right," the cat spoke.
"You've got to be kidding me," Mamoru shook his head.
Pain shot though him and for some reason he took the talking cat's advice and relaxed. Something came over him and a few moments later he was standing upright in a tuxedo with a cape and eye mask.
"What is this?" he looked really confused.
"You have to go the Negaverse has sent a youma in that jewellery store," the cat said.
"Right well maybe we should have a little chat first. Wait what am I saying I'm talking to a cat and worse still it's answering me," Mamoru said.
"There's no time to debate your sanity just go!" the cat yelled at him.
Mamoru ran into the jewellery shop, surprised at his somehow increased speed. He spotted the youma almost instantly draining the life out of the young girl that he had seen with Usagi earlier that day.
"Hey leave her alone," Mamoru said, the words just flowing naturally from his mouth.
The youma threw the girl aside and turned its sights to Mamoru.
'Okay this wasn't the wisest idea,' Mamoru thought as the youma came crashing down onto him.
He could feel his energy somehow being drained as well as the glass shards poking into his back. Mamoru was somehow able to bend his leg enough to kick the youma off him and into an unbroken display cabinet.
'What the hell do I do now?' Mamoru thought as the youma slowly made its way up
He managed to dodge its attacks though his reflexes were slower than before due to the cuts he had sustained in his back. The youma threw itself at him and Mamoru was able to throw it against another wall, using the youma's own momentum.
A razor sharp rose appeared in his hand and Mamoru instinctively threw it into the youma's heart where it imbedded itself. It bled out a tar like substance before it disintegrated into dust, releasing all the energy it had stored.
Mamoru looked at the rose that had floated to the floor.
'Roses? You've got to be kidding me, how cheesy is that,' Mamoru internally groaned.
One minute he had been an ordinary guy and the next he was turned into some teenage girl's version of the ultimate hero.
"What the hell have you done?" a man spoke as he came out from the shadows.
"I would say destroyed the energy sucking youma but something tells me that is not the answer you want," Mamoru smirked slightly.
"Who the hell are you?" the man yelled.
"Tuxedo Mask," Mamoru said without thinking.
"I am Jadeite, the first Shitenou of the Negaverse and you're going to regret this," Jadeite almost growled.
"Firstly I didn't ask for your name and secondly I never regret anything," Tuxedo Mask replied.
"I'll make sure that you regret it," Jadeite said angrily as he gathered an energy ball in his hand.
'This does not look good,' Tuxedo Mask thought.
A rose appeared in his hand but Tuxedo Mask shook his head in disgust. There was no way a little flower could hold up to a massive energy blast. Just before Jadeite launched his attack it dissipated, destroyed by a disc of light.
"Who's there?" Jadeite said looking around.
Tuxedo Mask was also very curious as he looked around. The disc returned to a large window near the back of the store were a silhouette of a woman wear a sailor suit caught it. There was no time to study her as she quickly disappeared out of sight.
"I'll be back," Jadeite yelled as he too disappeared.
Tuxedo Mask almost snorted at the tacky parting line. He looked around and saw the girl waking up.
"Who are you?" Naru asked.
"Tuxedo Mask and don't worry the person whoever did this is gone now," Tuxedo Mask said before he left, leaping onto the top of one of the surrounding buildings. He was met there by the talking cat.
"Who are you and what have you done to me?" Tuxedo Mask almost demanded.
"I've done nothing except help bring out what was already inside you," the cat answered.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Luna and I was an advisor to Queen Selenity, ruler of Silver Millennium," Luna answered.
"What?" Tuxedo Mask looked even more confused.
"Perhaps we can go somewhere more private?" Luna suggested.
Tuxedo Mask nodded as he scooped Luna up and made his way to his apartment. Luckily he left his balcony door unlocked and was able to get inside. Once inside he relaxed and his transformation dissolved.
"That's how it works," Mamoru said as he slumped onto his couch.
Luna sat next to him and began her story.
"A millennium ago there was life on all of the planets. All but Earth were joined together in an alliance called Silver Millennium and it was ruled over by the monarch of the Moon Queen Selenity. She had a daughter named Princess Serenity who was protected by the Sailor Senshi, princesses of their own respective planets. Princess Serenity fell in love with Earth's Prince but their love was forbidden. The Terrans feared the people of Silver Millennium and were easily influenced by the Negaverse. They attack and destroyed the Alliance. With the last of her power Queen Selenity sent her daughter and her court to the future on Earth. It seems that the Negaverse has awoken and your powers along with it."
"So I'm some kind of warrior from this Silver Millennium?" Mamoru asked.
"It would appear so though my memories are very hazy," Luna responded.
"That girl who stopped Jadeite, is she one of the senshi?" Mamoru asked.
"I don't know though by what I've seen of her I would say she is," Luna said.
"This is way too much. I'm going to bandage my injuries then I'm going to have a nice long sleep and hope that this was all a dream," Mamoru sighed as he went into the bathroom.
He bandaged up the cuts that he had sustained and hoped that the bruises would heal themselves. He soon collapsed into bed and fell asleep with Luna sleeping at the end.
Little did Mamoru know that a few blocks away a golden haired senshi had just re-entered her bedroom through her window, slipped into bed and released her transformation. She opened her eyes briefly, wondering why she had woken up but just rolled over and fell asleep.
A/N: Hope everyone enjoyed and will leave feedback. I'm thinking about writing the next chapter in Usagi/Sailor Moon's point of view; let me know what you think. Also I'll need a beta for this story if anyone's interested.
