Brizzy: Thanks! I'm glad you like the story!

moon neko: Well, I don't know about you, or probably even myself, but if a smokin' hot superhero is staring at Usagi (judging by how she acts in season 1) she will be nervous.

inufan155687: Thanks for the review! Well, here's the next chapter!

afallenblackrose: I would be excited, too. ;) And here's your answer.

tate4eva: Haha. That actually comes from a science test. It was the one thing I didn't know already from the unit (science geek here) so on the test I put 'I forgot, so here's a picture of a penguin on a unicycle' and then drew a penguin on a unicycle. My teacher burst out laughing, and she thinks it was a joke because I've gotten either a 100 or 95 on everything so far this year.

mewmewsprit: Haha. Glad you liked it.

Usagi felt the blush rise to the crown of her head as she dared to ask, "Wh-what are you doing here? Uh... w-where'd Luna go?"

Tuxedo Kamen's eyebrows furrowed. "Who?"

"Uh... m-my cat," Usagi explained.

He shrugged. "I didn't see a cat when I came in here," he replied. "Aaaanndd... I came here in the hopes that I might be able to see my girlfriend."

"G-girlfriend?" Usagi asked. If the blush could climb any higher on her, it would have.

"Oh, um... I-I'm sorry," he apologized. "I-I thought the kiss meant... well..."

Usagi couldn't help but smile at the nervous superhero. She made her way over to him and stood up on her toes to plant a soft kiss on his lips. He smiled slightly against her lips and put his hands on her waist, pulling her in closer. Then, she smiled and easily accepted the fact that he was lifting her up slightly, and she opted to wrap her legs around his waist. He laid her down on the bed, kissing her passionately.

Then, he realized something. Though he didn't know who he was, he knew he was at least eighteen, if not older. Usagi was fourteen. She probably didn't even know what she was suggesting when she wrapped her legs around his waist. Ruefully, he pulled away from the blonde and got off the bed.

"Is-is something wrong?" she asked, confused. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No," Tuxedo Kamen panted. "You were... amazing. It's just that, well, I'm an adult, and you're only fourteen. Do you even know what you were offering when you wrapped your legs around me?"

The furrowing of her eyebrows confirmed his suspicions.

"Exactly," he said, not waiting for her to verbalize her response.

"What exactly was I offer- oh," Usagi turned red when she realized what had nearly just occurred. "Oh, Tuxedo Kamen, I'm so sorry. I didn't-"

"No, Usako," he replied. "Don't be sorry. It's me who nearly took advantage of you."

"But-"

"I'll see you later, Usako," he replied, placing a soft kiss on her lips before leaping away into the moonlight.

Sighing, Usagi fell back on the bed, contemplating what had just occurred- or, maybe it was lack thereof. How old was Tuxedo Kamen? Old enough to get arrested if they had taken it any further, obviously. Would her parents have heard them? The thought made Usagi turn red yet again. Surely if her parents had heard them thusfar, Kenji would have come in with his shotgun and killed her Tuxedo Kamen. What was his real name, anyway? Was it something common that would make him easy to find, or would it be one of those names that there are one of them in the world?

Usagi groaned and pulled the covers up over her head. Dating a superhero was already hard, and it had only been ten minutes!

"Usagi-chan?" a curious voice asked. "What's wrong? Does it have to do with Tuxedo Kamen?"

Usagi pulled the sheets down, revealing Luna looking at her with concern. "Hey, Luna," she smiled. "Where've you been?"

"I was out talking to Artemis," Luna explained.

"Who?" Usagi asked, her eyebrows furrowing. "Is she the Moon Princess?"

Luna sweatdropped. "Uh... Usagi-chan... he is my partner in searching for the Moon Princess," she explained.

"Oh," said Usagi awkwardly. "Well, will I get to meet him?"

"In due time, Usagi-chan," Luna replied, curling up on the bed, preparing to go to sleep. Then, she realized something. "Wait a minute! You just completely changed the subject on me!"

"Good night, Luna," Usagi chirrped quickly before grabbing her PJs and heading into the bathroom to take a bath and change. She watched in silence as the water filled the tub, shutting it off before it overflowed. She tied up her hair before sinking into the tub, sighing as the warm water eased the tension in her muscles. She then found herself ignoring the fact that she was trying to keep her hair dry and ducked her head under the water.

She opened her eyes and saw the overhead light in the room looking wavy through the water. She smiled at it slightly, taking joy in the simplicity of something real being distorted- and not by youma standards. Finally, her lungs started to burn, longing the missing oxygen. She resurfaced, taking gasping breaths as soon as she was out of the water. She ran a hand through her hair as she thought back to the two make-out sessions she'd had with the masked hero that day.

"Great," she groaned, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I don't even know my own boyfriend's name." With that, she took another deep breath and dunked under the water.

Usagi walked into school on time the next day, not wanting to draw attention to herself. Unfortunately, this attempt did the exact opposite. All eyes were on her as she entered the classroom. She turned so red she could have sworn she was glowing as she slid into her seat.

"Oh my gosh, she slept with Tuxedo Kamen," one girl in the class gossipped.

"WHAT?" Usagi yelled, clearly hearing what she was not meant to hear. "I DID NO SUCH THING!"

The gossipping girls giggled nervously before turning away from the fuming Usagi.

"Usagi-chan, is it true? Is it? Is it? Is it?" Naru asked, running up to her best friend.

"Is what true?" Usagi asked, fearing how much the rumor had inflated.

"That you had sex with Tuxedo Kamen and you're carrying his child," Naru explained, earning her a shocked and confused look from Usagi.

"We just kissed!" Usagi exclaimed, earning a few eyebrow-raises and sarcastic 'oh, sure's from her classmates. "I'm serious!" The bell rang at that point, signaling the end of all discussion as the students scrambled to get to their seats. They stood up as Haruna entered, greeting her cheerily before sitting down.

"Okay, class," Haruna began, "today we are learning about one of my favorite topics: the myth of Serenity and Endymion."

Umino raised his hand. "Isn't it Selene and Endymion?"

Haruna chuckled. "I'm glad you brought that up, Umino-san. The myth of Selene and Endymion is a Greek myth, while people tend to think the myth of Serenity and Endymion is more accurate. Serenity was supposedly the grandaughter of the goddess Selene, and Serenity was the princess of the moon. She fell in love with the prince of Earth, Endymion. Unfortunately, contact between Earth and the moon was forbidden, so the two had to meet in secret or trade messages through Endymion's Shitennou and Serenity's senshi."

"Like the sailor senshi?" one student asked.

"Exactly," Haruna replied. "The senshi were the guards of Serenity while the Shitennou were Endymion's four head generals. Somewhere through the myth, each of the senshi and Shitennou fell in love. On the down side, though, the Shitennou were kidnapped and cloned before they themselves were killed, the clones being the only remainder, and they were dark, evil, twisted. Endymion and Serenity continued to see each other, but as war broke out, their meetings became less frequent until the night of a ball on the moon. Endymion snuck over to the moon to see his princess, but near the end of the ball, an evil witch and the Shitennou attacked, killing the senshi and Endymion. In her grief, Serenity killed herself."

Eyes widened in horror, and the students stared at her, waiting for the happy ending.

"Aaaannnddd?" Naru questioned.

"Well," Haruna continued, "there is one piece of the myth that's a bit more far-fetched. There were random energy bursts twenty-one, fifteen, fourteen, and twelve years ago, though they stood out at twenty-one and fourteen years ago. Some people think that it was the reincarnations of Endymion, the Shitennou, Serenity, and the senshi being born."

"That's so sad," Usagi commented. "To think that they may never meet each other. They'd each live with a hole in their hearts that they didn't even know was there waiting forever to be mended. Even if they were all reborn in Tokyo, it's a big place. The odds that they'd actually meet each other would be highly unlikely. Add that to the age difference that would generally be considered inappropriate today. I mean, twenty-one to fourteen? That's seven years an age difference. what if they met and decided dating when one of them was fourteen? The other would be arrested in a heartbeat."

"...Which brings me to today's writing assignment. Write a short story about forbidden love in modern times in as few words as possible," Haruna added. "It can be about any situation, as long as it fits the common time, within the past two or three years." Haruna ended her speech and sat down at her desk, allowing her students to write. Why the superintendent had told her to assign the project, she would never know, but she was just following her marching orders. It was either that or get fired.

Usagi smiled as she walked into Crown Arcade. She was rather proud of her work on the writing assignment. So proud, she thought, that she deserved a milkshake. "Konnichiwa, Motoki-onii-san," she smiled. "One chocolate strawberry milkshake, please."

"Coming right up," Motoki smiled back. "So what was with that psycho superhero yesterday?"

"Just... a psycho superhero," Usagi confirmed. "I don't know what he was even thinking." Usagi suddenly felt very glad the hickey on her neck had faded rather quickly and that Tuxedo Kamen had not added any others when they were making out in her room.

"I wouldn't know what any guy would be thinking to kiss you, Odango," a cruel voice stated.

Usagi groaned and rolled her eyes as Mamoru sat down next to her. "What, Mamoru-baka? Interested in seeing the new celebrity? Getting my autograph, hmm?" she teased.

"Oh please," Mamoru said, rolling his eyes. "I'm sure Tuxedo Kamen just had an itch. You scratched it and gave yourself a status as a slut. Once he's tired of you, he'll get rid of you."

Usagi's jaw dropped to the floor. "Excuse me?" she asked incredelously. The second Motoki put the milkshake down on the counter, Usagi picked it up, stood, and dumped it on Mamoru's head. She smirked evilly, staring at her handiwork.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Mamoru yelled.

"You had it coming," Usagi declared. "Oh, and for the record, Tuxedo Kamen does care about me. In fact, we're dating now. And if you really doubt me, I'll have him say he's dating me on camera."

Mamoru only laughed. "And what makes you think he would do that?" he asked.

"I'm his girlfriend, Mamoru-baka," Usagi explained calmly, a smirk crossing her face. "He'll do whatever I tell him to do."

Haha. I loved that last line! Reviews are love!
