Touma's

his one's for you, Jubilee. You asked me for it and now you're gonna get it. I hope you like it. It's rated PG-13, just cause I had to hint and with the way this was shaping out for me, I didn't have the heart to upgrade it to NC-17.)

Only the character "Skye" belongs to me. All other characters belong to their respective brilliant manga artists and big huge corporations with so much money they could sue me and leave me without a dime.

Ch. 1

The most entrancing sight of all

Is yet for me to see,

And the dearest love in all the world

Is waiting somewhere for me…

-Dearest love, Roger and Hemmerstien's Cinderella

"This was a wonderful idea, Ami-chan," Touma said, unpacking his things. Ami looked up from her suitcase and smiled.

"Yes, it was. Two weeks of nothing but you and me. No Senshi, no Troopers, no Dynasty. Just normal life."

Touma grinned. "Two weeks without Usagi-chan's screaming."

Ami laughed. "Ah, she's not so bad once you get used to it. Every now and then she actually gets to school on time."

"Does she? Must be an extremely rare occurrence. But," he said, growing thoughtful. "What if Luna needs us for something? We'll be forced to abandon our vacation." He frowned at the thought. Ami walked up to him and smiled.

"She can't make us cancel if she can't contact us."

"You mean-"

"I left our communicators at Rei's. No interruptions."

Touma grinned and, placing his hands on Ami's hips, kissed her softly. The feel of her lips on his was wonderful to him, and he couldn't get enough. Ami pulled away and grinned.

"We have two weeks for that. Right now, we've got to finish unpacking."

Touma sighed and grinned. Her teasing was always bittersweet, always cutting him off at the height of his passion, always promising more the next time.

At least she always delivered.

"Oh, man, am I ever hungry," Touma eyed the salad bar, feeling a lot like Shou. Ami grinned. "The two hour trip took a lot out of you, eh?"

"Nothin' a little food can't fix."

Ami watched as Touma began helping himself to the salad bar. She raised an eyebrow. "A little?"

Touma grinned sheepishly. "Well, y'know. I'll share with you if you want."

Ami giggled. "That's alright, Touma-chan. I'll just get my own plate."

Touma shrugged and began to look for a table.

"Check it out, hunk right behind you."

Skye turned curiously, only to see one of the most gorgeous guys she'd ever seen. He was very cute, his wild blue hair banded by an even darker blue headband. His blue eyes shone with intensity and intelligence, and it was quite obvious that this guy got a regular good workout. Skye grinned. Exactly the type of guy she was known for. She turned to her friend.

"He'll be mine in two minutes."

Her friend looked. "Maybe, maybe not. Check what's coming to his table."

Skye turned again and saw a girl, no older than 15, sitting at his table, her cropped blue hair shining and her eyes sparkling as the two of them talked. Skye grit her teeth.

"Dammit, he's got a girlfriend."

"She's kind of pretty," her friend observed. "But she looks so innocent…"

Skye blinked and grinned again. She was right. And what guy preferred innocent 15 year old to sexy 17 year old?

Ami looked around and slipped out her mini data computer. Touma raised a brow.

"Ami-chan?"

"Well, I was running these figures on the Dynasty's next move. I wanna see if it's finished yet."

Touma sighed and, smiling, gently closed the computer. He looked into Ami's eyes.

"Ami, we came here to forget about the Dynasty, remember? You don't have to be Sailor Mercury all the time. Just be Muzino Ami for the next two weeks."

Ami blinked and smiled. "You're right. I come here to forget about the Dynasty, and yet I can't help it, I'm so used to worrying about them."

Touma speared a small piece of rib and held it out to Ami, who, grinning, ate it off of his fork. Touma smiled.

"It's like you said earlier. This week, it's nothing but you and me."

Ami smiled and put away her computer. This was going to be a wonderful two weeks.

"Excuse me,"

Ami tore herself away from Touma's eyes to see a rather voluptuous, and in her opinion, snobbish blonde smiling at them. No, not at both of them; her attention was focused solely on Touma.

Ami frowned. "Yes?"

The girl finally looked at her. "I was wondering if the two of you would like anything to drink."

Touma shook his head. "Nothing for me, please."

"Me neither, thank you," Ami said softly.

The girl frowned. "Well, surely you must want something. Water, perhaps? It's free."

Ami sighed. She knew where this was going. She sighed and for a moment went into Sailor Mercury Battle mode. Her voice becoming like steel, she said

"No thank you. We do not want anything to drink, even if it's free. AND," she added when the girl opened her mouth to speak. "IF we need you, we shall let you know. Okay?"

The girl gave Ami the briefest of looks before smiling.

"Fine with me. Enjoy your meal," she said walking off, shaking her hips seductively. Touma watched her go. Ami kicked him under the table.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"Hello? She was staring right at you, Touma."

"So?"

"You didn't find her the least bit sexy?" Ami demanded. Touma smiled.

"How could I when I have you sitting right in front of me?"

All of Ami's anger deflated in a second. She smiled and leaned over the table to kiss him.

"Good answer."

"Who does she think she is, anyway? To talk to me like that? I'll bet she's all show and no action. I bet she couldn't punch her way out of a paper bag."

Keiko glanced at her friend. "Easy, there, Skye-chan. Obviously this guy likes her a lot if he didn't respond to you."

Skye glared at the girl, then she smiled.

"It'll just take a little more work on my part, that's all. You'll see. By the end of their stay he'll be all over me."
