AN: This is yet another new fanfic. Please read and review, they make my day.

Mamoru stared at his desk full of papers. He'd never be finished all his papers that evening. His boss would get upset with him, again, unless he had an excuse. Mamoru paused trying to think of a good one.

Oh yeah, he could just see it now. ' Sir, I couldn't get my papers done on time, because I'm a superhero, and I frequently have to save the world from destruction.' That would go over great, he thought sarcastically.

Sitting at his desk, he thought about his job. Working for Juuban's medical firm, was always his dream. The actual medical part, not filling out paperwork as he was doing, but he was told that he had to start small.

Just then, he heard a loud scream, followed by several more. He was about to transform into his alter ego, when his office door was slammed down off its hinges.

There, stood a big fat youma with a young worker in its grasp. The youma's big hand over her neck, draining out her energy.

" Let her go you monster! She's an innocent girl!" Mamoru yelled at it.

The youma just grinned and then dropped the girl. But before Mamoru could transform, the youma had him by the neck. Mamoru felt his energy quickly leaving him. He was about to give up, when he saw a bright flash of light, and the silhouette of someone.

" Stop it right now, Slime!" came the voice from the shadow. The figure approached, leaving the shadow, to show who she really was.

" I'm Sailor Moon, Champion of Justice, and in the name of the Moon, I shall punish you!" she yelled taking her fighting stance.

The youma quickly dropped the almost dead Mamoru. Mamoru, gasping for air, turned towards Sailor Moon, the girl that he was in love with. Of course he only saw her during battles, while he was his alter ego. He was always saving her life, but this time she was saving his.

He watched the scene before him, wishing he could help her, but if he did, some how find the energy to transform, she'd know who he really was and he couldn't risk that.

Sailor Moon fought the youma all by herself, and then used her moon tiara to turn it into moon dust. Sailor Moon then turned to Mamoru and raced over to him.

" Are you okay?" she asked softly, as she knelt down next to him.

Mamoru gazed at her soft face. Never before had he seen her so worried about someone she saved. Why was she so concerned? Right now, he lay there as a normal 22 year old, not as the heroic Tuxedo Mask.

Sailor Moon sat there her eyes full of concern. Was he okay? She knew the man, who lay before her. He was the annoying, yet very attractive Mamoru Chiba. He knew her as her civilian form, Usagi Tsukino. But right now she knelt next to him as Sailor Moon.

Sailor Moon couldn't believe her luck. She sat alone in the room with the man she'd had a crush on for the longest time. But then again, she had many crushes. There was Tuxedo Kamen as well as the mysterious man in her dreams. Right now she felt unsure of her feelings for them.

" Are you okay?" she asked once again.

He only nodded and slowly sat up. He couldn't believe his luck. He was sitting next to Sailor Moon, he most beautiful and strong girl in the world; the girl that he really did love with all his heart. He couldn't believe that she hadn't just left as she usually did, but had actually stayed to make sure he was okay. He had to seize his chance; he knew a chance like this wouldn't come again.

She was about to ask him if he was sure, when he reached over and kissed her. Sailor Moon sat there shocked. Why was Mamoru kissing her? Right, she thought, she was still transformed. That's why. He just had a crush on Sailor Moon, the superhero.

But still she leaned forward to kiss him more. Her first kiss, sweet and meaningful, at least to her. Right now she didn't care for the reason why he was kissing her, just that he was.

But slowly she pulled away, blushing. Mamoru came closer and tried to kiss her again, but she gently put her gloved hand on his lips.

" Mamoru…" she whispered, and then immediately regretted it.

" H…how do you know my name?" he asked backing up a little.

She'd blown it. " I… I…" Sailor Moon stopped talking, as she felt her body tingling. What was happening to her? Why was she feeling so weird all over? She'd have to ask Luna what that was all about when she got home. She'd never felt it before.

" I got to go," she said urgently before jumping to her feet. Not sure of what was happening to herself, she quickly ran out the door and down the deserted hallway.

Panting, she stopped and looked down, wondering why she was so out of breath. She was back into her civilian form, Usagi. For some reason, she had de-transformed without wanting to.

" Come back!" she heard Mamoru calling after her from the other room.

Oh no. If he followed her out into the hall, he'd know her secret. She couldn't have that, no matter how much she had a crush on him. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her Luna Pen.

" Oh Luna Pen, please work, transform me into Sailor Moon," she whispered.

Soon she was back to her Sailor Moon self, and just in the nick of time. Mamoru came rushing to her side. He looked at her with an unreadable expression. Lucky for her, the pen must have worked well and convincible, because he didn't question her.

" You left," he said more then asked, looking at her hurt.

" I really need to leave. Please forgive me Mamo-chan," she said using an endearing nickname, which had come so naturally.

" We shall meet again soon," she said, before jumping out the nearby window, luckily there was a tree there, so she got down fine without her powers.

Mamoru stood there, watching her escape. He so wanted to run after her, but as his civilian form, he'd never catch her. Oh how he loved her. He just wished that he hadn't scared her off with that kiss.

Sighing, he walked back into his office. Grabbing his stuff, he got ready to leave. He had an excuse now. A youma attacking the building and nearly killing him, which he would be dead if Sailor Moon hadn't saved him, was enough to get him out of paperwork for that day. Plus it was getting late.

Sailor Moon ran home. She felt so scared and excited at the same time. She needed to tell someone, but she knew that if she did tell anyone, they would probably just tell her that he'd only kissed her so that he could go and brag that he had to his friends. She didn't want to hear that, she wanted this to remain very special to her.

But that wasn't like Mamoru. He wouldn't, right? He had kissed her because he truly cared right? Sailor Moon shook her head as she continued home. He couldn't possibly. They didn't know each other, not as Mamoru and Sailor Moon.

She felt tears well up in her eyes. It had been her first kiss, it had meant a lot to her. She cared for him and it hadn't even meant much to him. She cried as she quickly reached her house, out of breath.

Looking around, she noticed that it was very dark outside. It must have taken her double the time to get home without her powers. She couldn't use the front door, which would get her parents upset and asking questions as why she was out so late.

She'd usually jump into the tree and then into her window. But since she didn't have her real strength as Sailor Moon, she couldn't. But she didn't have a choice did she?

She looked around, to make sure no one was watching, and then she de-transformed into Usagi. Quickly she climbed the tree and then, once on the closest branch, she lounged into her room. Lucky for her, she made it.

Luna, Usagi's cat guardian, got up from her spot on Usagi's bed and ran over to her. Concerned, she prodded her head with her paw. Usagi turned slowly and grinned at the cat.

" Hey Luna," she said in a low voice, barely above a whisper. She didn't want her parents to find out that she'd left the house at such a time.

Luna sighed in relief and then turned her face back to stare at Usagi, as Usagi stood up and started getting ready for bed. Luna jumped back unto the foot of the bed.

" Usagi-chan. Why were you so long? Are you okay? You didn't just jump in the window as usual."

Usagi changed into her pajamas, closed the window, and then closed the lights. She sighed and then got into bed, pulling the covers close to her face. Luna walked over to near her head so that they could talk in above whispers so that her parents wouldn't get suspicious.

" Sorry for being late. I'm fine Luna. Or at least I think I am. I didn't jump into the window like usual, because I had to use the Luna Pen to transform back into Sailor Moon."

" What?" Luna said a little loudly and Usagi shushed her. When they heard nothing from her parents, Usagi explained.

" I don't know what happened. I just de-transformed. I had to think quick, so I used the pen."

" Good job, Usagi-chan. Smart thinking," Luna said proudly.

" Thanks Luna," Usagi grinned. She loved when Luna or others complimented her on her leader and fighting skills. People rarely did that and she usually just got criticism from them. It felt good to be admired.

" Do you know what it could have been that did that to me?"

Luna shook her head. " I'll look into it first thing tomorrow."

" Thanks Luna. Goodnight."

" Goodnight Usagi-chan."

Usagi smiled at her cat and then closed her eyes. She didn't want to think about why she de-transformed. She didn't want to think about why Mamoru kissed her; she just wanted to think about the kiss, that he had in fact kissed her. She wanted to savor every memory she had on that kiss, regardless to its reasons. She slept well that night, dreaming of her love and that special kiss.
