THE HALF I NEVER KNEW
By Heather Martin
Chapter 14
Tuxedo Kamen carried Sailor Moon. The others followed behind him. Minako smiled. She could tell that he loved Usagi by the way he held her. It was so close and protective. Besides, she had heard his previous endearment (Usako).
The mass in Tux's arms began to move. Her eyes fluttered open. They looked up at him. "Mamo-chan," she muttered. She buried her head in his chest.
"How do you feel?" he asked.
She sighed and answered," Exhausted."
He brought her closer to him. "Try to rest. We're all most to your house."

Mars turned to Mercury. "What is up with those two?" she whispered. She pointed to Tuxedo Kamen and Usagi.
"Oh, Rei, can't you recognize true love when you see it?" Minako spoke up.
Luna's head shot up with that. Love? Oh no, this wasn't good.
**********************************************************
Mamoru laid Usagi in her bed. He stroked her hair with on hand.
"Maybe you should go now. There is nothing else you can do," came a voice.
He spun around to find Luna there. He hadn't ever seen the cat talk before, not directly at least. He was only slight amazed. So, Usagi was telling the truth about having a talking cat. You never knew what surprises came up in the senshi life.
He glanced back at the sleeping girl. She wasn't the only one tired. Purhaps he should go home and rest also. Mamoru nodded. "Yeah, I guess you are right."
"It is for the best," Luna went on. "Her parents will be home soon."
So he left. But he certainly hadn't wanted to.
************************************************************
Usagi opened her eyes. She looked around, a little disoriented. "Where is everyone?"
"They went home," Luna said as she entered the room. She went over to the bed.
"Even Mamoru?" An expression of disappointment was on her face.
"Yes. I persuaded him to," the cat replied. "I wanted to talk to you alone."
Usagi sat up. "What about?"
Luna jumped up beside her charge. Her intense eyes met Usagi. "Do you love Mamoru?"
Usagi blinked. "What?"
"Never mind. I know the answer. I saw you two together."
So, that must mean he feels the same way, Usagi thought. Her heart sped up. She clutched the thick blanket around her.
"You have to stop!" Luna ordered.
Usagi's heart seemed to halt by that. It became hard for her to breath. "What?" Her voice was pianed. She stared at Luna with betrayal.
"You are Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom, promised to Prince Endymion of Earth," Luna told her.
Usagi became furious. "I don't care!"
"Serenity, you, are supposed to stop Beryl with the silver crystal. But, that will take too much energy. You would surely die. Endymion is the only other who can use the crystal. The love between the both of you is strong enough to channel the energy with no problem. We need to find. . ."
"Shut up!" Usagi shouted. Tears fell from her eyes. "What do I care about someone I've never met? If he can help me use the crystal, fine. But, that's it. I care for Mamoru."
Luna's eyes were huge. "Usagi, your mother from the moon sent you here to be with the prince. She wanted you to be happy."
"Well, I'm happy with Mamoru. Now, please leave me alone," Usagi said. She turned away.
"But, Usagi. . ." Luna quit speaking. She knew it was no use. The girl was no longer listening.
