Chapter 2

The beeping filled Usagi's ears. She sighed and put down her
manga. "Just at the good part. Now I won't know if she gets
the guy or not," she whined.

Usagi picked up her communicator. Luna had recently given one
to all the senshi. With the push of a button, a tiny screen was
revealed. A picture of the blue-haired Sailor Mercury appeared
on it.

"Get to the park now. A youma is attacking," Mercury ordered.

"Sure thing. I'll be there right away," she answered.

Usagi turned off the communicator. She hurried downstairs.
Her mother came out of the kitchen. Ikuko saw her daughter
head for the door. "Where are you going, young lady?" she
asked, sternly.

Usagi turned. "Um. . . Ami and I have a study meeting."

A bright smile came to Ikuko's face. "That's wonderful!
Especially since you did so bad on your last test. You're
finally trying now. Well, just be home for dinner."

Usagi nodded. Then she exited the house. A feeling of relief
washed over her. It was getting harder and harder to sneak out.

Usagi ran down the street. Suddenly, she bumped into something
hard. She gazed up to see a young man in a green blazer.

"Hey there, Odango Atama. Watch where you're going."

Usagi fumed. Her hands squeezed into fists.

"Why are you out at night? It is cold, and you don't have a
jacket.You're going to freeze. Your going to turn into an
popsycle, Odango" Mamoru said.

She would have given Mamoru a piece of her mind, but she was
at a lack for time. "Don't call me that!" she shouted. "And,
it is none of your business what I do." Then she continued to
rush on. For some reason, she glanced back at him for a second.

She turned into an alley. She surveyed her surroundings. No
one was in sight.

Usagi grabbed her brooch, and held it in the air. "Moon Prism
Power Make Up!"

Her clothes started to change. A short blue skirt, high red
boots, moon ear-rings, jewels in her hair, and a golden tiara
formed. Usagi stood incognito as the champion for love and
justice, Sailor Moon.

***********************************************
Mamoru turned around. He was going to go back to his apartment.
He didn't even know why he went for a walk. Something had pulled
him outside.

Suddenly a sharp pain spread through Mamoru's head. He moaned
in pain and fell to his knees What was going on?

His vision started to fade. Everything after that was lost to
him.

***********************************************

Sailor Moon joined the battle. Mars glared at her. "What took
you so long?" the fire senshi demanded.

"A jerk delayed me. Lay off Rei, I'm here now," Sailor Moon
replied.

She turned to the negaverse monster. He was really ugly with
glowing eyes. She did a few poses. "I am Sailor Moon, the
pretty sailor-suited champion of love and justice. In the
name of the moon, I will punish you!" She pointed at the youma.

The youma just laughed. He was overconfident that he would
win. He sent a blast of energy directly at Sailor Moon. She
was thrown to the ground with great force.

All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a red rose shot through the
air. Everyone looked up to see a man in a tree. He wore a
black tuxedo, tophat, and mask.

"Nani(What)? Who are you?" Sailor Moon asked.

The man jumped from the tree. "I am Tuxedo Kamen." He faced
the youma. "You shouldn't disturb such a lovely and peaceful
place."

Jupiter saw her chance. She shouted," Supreme thunder!" Electric
bolts hit the youma. Then Jupiter looked at the senshi leader.
"Take care of him."

"Hai(yes)." Sailor Moon took out her tiara. She aimed it at
the youma. "Moon tiara magic!" Power flew at the monster.
It hollered in agony before it died.

Sailor Moon smiled. She spun around to thank the mysterious
Tuxedo Kamen. To her disapointment, he was gone.

The other senshi gathered around her. "I wonder who that
Tuxedo Kamen was," Mercury commented.

"He just vanished," Venus said.

Sailor Moon stared at the spot where he had been. He was so
kawaii (cute/adorable), she thought. I hope he helps us again.

***********************************************

Mamoru awoke on a hard surface. He had a terrible headache.
He sat up slowly, and looked around. He was in an alley. How
did he get there? The last thing he recalled was having
that pain.

With confusion, Mamoru walked back to his apartment.
