Hey everyone, it's Usagi! ^^

I just wanted to thank everyone for the reviews, comments, and favorites! I'm working on thanking you all personally, but this is the best way I could say 'Thank you'- Two chapters in one day! Holy Odangoes!

And now, for my disclaimer that I keep on forgetting to add:

Even though I am a huge fan girl and Naoko Takeutchi is my HERO….

I no own Sailor Moon.

(Naoko Takeutchi made the SM manga. XD)

So please Naoko-sama, don't sue me! TT^TT

Chapter 4:

From Rabbit to Warrior…. And Back Again!

Convinced that it was all a dream, Usagi then threw her right hand up in the air, and cried, "Moon Prism Power… Make Up!"

There was a bright flash, and when it cleared, Usagi….. Well, she wasn't in her school uniform that was for sure. She was now Sailor Moon! ….Unfortunately, when she saw the skirt, she nearly passed out. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! My parents are going to KILL me if they see me in such a short skirt! And Mamoru's brain will be fried to a crisp-" In the middle of her panic, Usagi paused when she heard voices coming from the two red jewels in her odangoes.

"H-Help me! Mama's trying to murder me!" The first voice belonged to Osaka Naru, Usagi's best friend.

"Shut up little girl! Besides, I'm not your mother! Your mother's locked up in the basement! It's no use crying…. Nobody can save you now!" The second belonged to a woman, but her voice was twisted and demonic.

There was a scream from Naru, and the voices stopped.

"Naru's in trouble!" Usagi cried. "I have to help Luna! That woman… That woman didn't sound human!"

"Then it must have been a youma masquerading as her mother," Luna reasoned, jumping on Usagi's shoulder. "Come on, there's no time to waste! We have to save her!

Usagi nodded, jumping from her balcony and running towards OSAP Jewelry Store.

Meanwhile, a masked figure watched from the shadows as the young heroine in the horribly short skirt ran up a fire ladder as she closed in on the source of the screams. "This might be a problem," he muttered, "But I have a feeling she's going to get herself in one heck of a mess." With that, the masked man followed her, carefully avoiding being seen.

Usagi paused. "L-Luna… I think we're being watched," she said softly, turning around to defend herself. She blinked when she saw someone ducking into a greenhouse. "Hey! Get back here!" she exclaimed, running after him.

The greenhouse was warm, and moisture hung in the air, the only sound was her boots clicking against the tile. It echoed throughout the plant-filled room, as Luna glared at her. "You're getting distracted. We have to save that girl from the youma," she reminded her.

"But what if it's another one?" Usagi asked.

"Good point," Luna said, sighing softly. "I'll wait outside, it's way too warm for me. Holler if you need me, OK?"

Usagi nodded, walking through the greenhouse as quietly as she could."Hey! I know you're in here! So come out where I can see you!" Usagi called. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a flash of black and red disappearing underneath a table. Cautiously, the young girl sneaked over there, peeking under the table. What she saw surprised her: a young man, wearing a cape, mask, and a tuxedo, seeming to be watching for something. A top hat was next to him, with three crimson roses on top. His hand was resting on top of one, tensing as if he were preparing to pick it up at a moment's notice. Oh my god! He can't be much older then Mamoru! she realized.

The mysterious man then turned around, and Usagi paled. "Who are you?" he asked, his voice slightly irritated.

Usagi remained motionless, but inside, she was panicking. Oh crap, I don't know what to do! I can't tell him my real name! What do I do? Then, she could hear a voice in her mind

The voice belonged to a woman, her voice soft and sweet. Sailor Moon… You are Sailor Moon….! the voice said before fading away.

"I am Sailor Moon," Usagi replied. "And YOU have been following me, haven't you?" she asked, a hint of anger in her voice. Wow he's hot- Aaaaugh, stay focused Usagi! He may be hot, but he's been following you! Then, the jewels in her odangoes lit up, and the voices sounded again. A scene flashed before Usagi's eyes:

Naru was running from a woman in a black dress. The woman's face was twisted and evil, and Usagi could tell she wasn't human. "Someone help me!" Naru cried, as she dodged the monster's attempts to grab her. The monster cackled, and it sent chills down Usagi's spine. "You can't run forever! Sooner or later, I'll catch you!" Naru was now running for the door, but the monster appeared in front of her and caught her. Naru screamed, before the scene ended.

"Are you OK?" the man asked, is eyes locking with hers. For a brief moment, Usagi could see his eyes- he looked concerned. Wow, he's worried about me and I just met him? This is….. new. Usagi thought, before shaking her head. "No, I'm not. Somebody's in trouble…." She realized that she wasn't standing up anymore, and that the man was looking down at her as she laid on the floor. She stood her up, her head throbbing slightly. She absentmindedly put a hand to the back of her head- it was sore, so she assumed that she had passed out. Ignoring it, she ran out of the greenhouse, leaving the masked man behind…

Picking up Luna, she ran as fast as she could to the jewelry store.

When she got there, she saw the monster holding Naru by the throat. Naru was struggling to breathe, and this infuriated Usagi. "Let her go you witch!" she exclaimed, glaring at the monster.

"Why don't you make me you little brat?" the monster hissed. "I am Morgana! No mortal dares to stand in my way, or they shall be killed!"

"Well, Morgana, prepare to eat your words, because I'm gonna kick your sorry butt back to where you came from!" Usagi retorted. "Now let that girl go, or you'll have to face my wrath!"

"And just who are you?"

"I am Sailor Moon, the Champion of Justice and your worst nightmare!" she exclaimed, then ran at her. "And that nightmare starts right now!" She then jumped, aiming a flying kick to Morgana's face.

Morgana threw Naru to the wall before grabbing Usagi's foot. She then flung her into a wall, where the young heroine slammed into the wall before falling to the floor.

Usagi growled, standing up and running at her again.

Morgana cackled, grabbing Usagi by the wrist and sending a surge of dark energy into her body.

Usagi screamed, and she tried to break free as the pain coursed through her body. "S-Stop it! It feels like I'm being ripped apart!" she cried.

Morgana cackled, and responded with more surges of dark energy.

Th-this is it! I'm gonna die! Usagi realized, and just when she thought all hope was lost….

Morgana let go! Usagi then fell to the floor, backing away from her. There was a rose in Morgana's wrist, and it went straight through it. Morgana was shrieking in pain, as she tried to pull the rose out. Looking up, Usagi saw the mysterious man that was following her earlier. He was leaning against the open window, looking down at Sailor Moon. "Sailor Moon, don't give up. Hit her while she's distracted!"

"WHO ARE YOU?" Morgana roared, still trying to remove the rose.

"My name is Tuxedo Kamen," he replied before turning to Sailor Moon. "Until next time, Sailor Moon." With that, he left.

"Tuxedo Kamen…" Usagi murmured, smiling slightly.

"Sailor Moon! Throw your tiara and say, 'Moon Tiara Action!'" Luna told her.

"Right!" Usagi took off her tiara, and it glowed before turning into a glowing golden disc. "Moon… Tiara…. ACTION!" With this, Usagi threw the disc as hard as she could. It struck Morgana right in the chest.

Morgana's skin began to crack, and she screamed before exploding into dust. The dust then disappeared…. Suddenly, a bluish-white mist came from the spot that Morgana was dusted, and it went out the door, traveling to the homes of the people that had purchased some odd jewelry from the past 2 days.

Additionally, the jewelry in the cases broke, and Luna examined a fragment of one of the "jewels". "These jewels were designed to suck the life force from its wearer," Luna said after a few minutes.

"Why would a monster want people's life force?" Usagi asked, walking over to her.

"I think I might know…. And it's not good either."

Usagi then saw Naru beginning to wake up. "Luna, we should go," Usagi said quietly, "I don't know how to explain this to her."

"The best thing we can do is make it seem like a dream. Come on," Luna said softly, leaping onto her shoulder.

Usagi nodded, and they both left. As soon as she got home, there was a flash of light from her locket, and she changed back. Too tired to change into her pajamas, Usagi collapsed onto her bed, quickly falling into a deep sleep.

Luna then pulled the covers over Usagi before curling up next to her, soon falling asleep as well….

At 3 AM, Usagi suddenly woke up from a terrible nightmare, tears streaking down her face. After she calmed down, she couldn't help but feel like she was being watched…. Getting up, she walked out to her balcony and saw Tuxedo Kamen! He was sitting on a rooftop a few houses down, but Usagi could still see his cape and top hat. Smiling a little, Usagi transformed, determined to thank him for his help. She ran across the rooftops, sneaking up behind him and tapping him on the shoulder. "Mind if I sit here?" she asked.

Bwahahaha! I couldn't help but put a cliffhanger in there!

What's going to happen? Will there be awkward silence or an actual conversation? Will Usagi be able to get up in the morning for school? And will there be another youma attack?

Find out in the next chapter:
