Chapter 2
Rated: R? It gets a tad heated that's all.

The only thing left for me to do was to carry out the dare.
So, I turned around and headed to the apartment complex where I
new Chiba Mamoru lived.
Sailor Moon walked through the park and made sure to stick
close to the trees, as not to make suspicion arise from anyone
who saw her lurking about. As soon as she saw the street, she
dashed across and ran strait into an alley.
"I hope no one saw me." She looked around and took in her
surroundings. There was a dumpster to her right with flies
hovering around it and a brick wall a few yards ahead of her.
'I wander if I can jump up to the roof...I know that when
we're transformed, we can do things we can't normally do...And
besides, if I can, this jump should be easy. There are only three
floors to this building.' She moved into a crouching position and
pushed up. What shocked her was the fact that she was actually
up in the air. She almost forgot that she was supposed to be
getting onto the roof. She grabbed the ledge of the building
in time though, and was able to clamber onto the tar roof.
'That was a close one. I don't want a repeat of that.'
Keeping that in mind, Sailor Moon jumped from roof to roof,
paying attention to where she was going so that she wouldn't be
in trouble because of a klutz attack. Within ten minutes of
jumping on an endless sea of roofs, she reached her destination.
In front of her stood a ten-story apartment building.
"If I'm on a building that has six stories...okay, I can do
this. Just one more jump and I don't even have to jump to the
roof this time. I just have to jump onto that corner balcony...I
think." Sailor Moon took the last jump with ease and landed in
the miniscule area. There was a sliding glass door in front of
her and she leaned up against it, pressing her nose against the
cool glass. The inside of the apartment was so neat and tidy. She
knew it *had* to be Mamoru's. Her view fogged up ad she stepped
back.

'I wonder how I'm supposed to get in. I doubt he'd leave
anything unlocked. I guess I should just try sliding the thing
before I figure out how to get in if it doesn't open.' Reaching
out with a gloved hand, Sailor Moon put her hand into the handle
and slid open the door.
'Well what do you know. The uptight baka actually left it
unlocked. Then again, how many people could have gotten up this
high?' She creeped into the dimly lit room and shut the door
behind her.
'This must be his living room.' The room was as neat as a
pin, typical Mamoru style. There was a couch and a coffee table
in the center of the room, and an entertainment system up against
a wall. Other than that the room was empty, except for a
bookshelf. There was a hallway to the right of were she stood,
so she took it. On the left was a bathroom and to the right was
Mamoru's bedroom. Apparently, the hallway that had been to her
left had led to the kitchen.
'Okay, take a deep breath. I can do this. I can do this.'
She calmly walked into the room and stopped at the edge of the
bed. Mamoru was in bed with the black silk sheets pulled down to
his chest. His breathing was slow and even, so she knew that he
was asleep.
Sailor Moon sat on the floor and removed her boots and
socks. She didn't feel like ruining his nice sheets, even if
they were *his*. Once her feet were bare, she crawled onto the
edge of the bed and made sure she was as far as she could
possibly be from him without falling off of the bed.
'Okay, now what do I do? I have to wait all night before I
can complete the rest of the dare. I might as well get some
sleep. That fight took a lot out of me.' She rested her head
on one of Mamoru's pillows and went off to sleep.

~@ ~@ ~@ ~@ ~@ ~@

Usagi woke with a start. Her bed was moving and someone
was breathing heavily. That was when her memory came back to
her. She was still Sailor Moon and she was on the same bed as
Mamoru.
'Eeek! I can't believe I took this dare!' She turned on her
side to see what was wrong with Mamoru. He was tossing and
turning and he looked like he was having a bad dream. Not
wanting him to wake up because of it, she crawled into the
sheets next to him and held him.
'I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M DOING THIS! Well, it's either comfort
him, or have him wake up. I don't think I could handle him waking
up right now.' Her holding him was working and his breathing
was evening out. She rested her head against his bare chest and
drifted back to sleep.

Usagi woke with a sense of dread. She had known that the
moment would finally come wither she wanted it to or not. She
had to carry out the dare.
Usagi lay there letting her befuddled mind clear and alarm
set in as she realized the position that she was in. Sometime
during the night, the sheets had been kicked off and he held her
to him. Her back was warm and tingles were creeping through her
veins. Mamoru's breath tickled her neck and she bit back a
moan. No. She would not let herself give in. She tried to push
away the sensations he was invoking, but they came back with
full force. His arms were wrapped around her and she was pressed
right up against him. She turned around in his arms and he just
pulled her back against him. Sailor Moon's nose pressed against
what she admitted, was a well-muscled chest. A pulsing sensation
rippled throughout her body, but she ignored it, determined to
get this over with.
Mamoru shifted on his back and pulled her with him. She was
on top off him, plastered against his length due to gravity and
the lack off being able to get away. To her greatest relief, he
loosened his grip and she was able to move. She slowly sat up on
him and straddled his hips, steeling herself for what came next.
She placed a hand on either side off him to support her weight
as she leaned in. She paused a few inches away from his face.
She paused to think. Did she really want to do this? Would
she ever be able to look at him the same way again? She knew that
a dare was a dare and she had to do it, or did she? She could
leave right now and just claim she kissed him, but she knew
Rei would see straight through her lie. Rei has an uncanny
ability of be able to tell when she's telling the truth or not.
'I should just kiss him and get it over with. I mean who
would believe him if he told anyone that Sailor Moon kissed
him? Besides, he doesn't look so cold and unfeeling when he's
asleep. He actually looks somewhat adorable.' Her mind made up;
she leaned in for the kiss. Mustering up the last of her
courage, she placed her lips on his. She slid her tongue between
her parted teeth and put them through his parted lips.
She was suddenly squeezed and realized that her intrusion
into uncharted territory had woken up the person beneath her.
Luckily for her, sleep still clouded his mind and he only paid
attention to the kiss. His tongue found its way into her mouth
and she gasped in surprise. A slow yearning of heat began to
bubble throughout her body and she melted, unable to contain
herself.
He rolled over, placing her on bottom. Mamoru's hands
drifted and so did hers. Sailor Moon's hands clutched at his
ebony hair and pulled him closer for more. All rational
thoughts had fled from her mind as she focused only on the
pleasure she was getting out of this. She snaked her legs
around his waist and broke off the kiss when she was startled
to find a reasonable bulge in his boxers. Her innocent mind
didn't comprehend and he kissed her again, a groan escaping
from somewhere deep inside of him.
"Hey Mamoru, are you..." Motoki stopped as he stared at
the scene before him. The heroine of Tokyo and his best friend
were making out.
Sailor Moon tossed Mamoru off of her and ran past Motoki,
down the hallway and out through the balcony doors. She jumped
to a roof and then into an alley, detransforming once she
reached the alley. She was momentarily thankful that she hadn't
changed into her pajamas the night before like everyone else.
"What am I going to do! I can't believe I let that baka do
that to me! And Motoki walked in! I never even heard him open the
door.... I just hope that neither of them mention it to the
girls. If they do, the other senshi will kill me! They'll never
let me live it down, not to mention Luna." Usagi's mind was
whirling a mile a minute and was going through overdrive. She
decided to go to the arcade to think and maybe, to see what would
happen when Motoki and Mamoru arrived.

Motoki stared, mouth agape at his friend on the floor.
Mamoru sat up and ran a hand through his sleep-matted hair. He
couldn't believe what had just happened. It wasn't everyday he
woke up to find someone's tongue in his mouth. He heard a cough
and looked up to see a confused Motoki. He laughed. It wasn't
often that someone saw him looked so confused. The picture was
down right hilarious.
"Would you care to explain why you were making out with
Sailor Moon?"
"To tell you the truth Motoki, I'm not sure what exactly
happened. I woke up with her on top of me."
"She wasn't on top when I found you." Mamoru growled.
"Shut up." Motoki chuckled.
"Why was she here?"
"You got me there. I have no idea. There was no youma, and
I doubt she found out about me..." His blonde companion
narrowed his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Motoki leaned back against the wall
and awaited Mamoru's answer. Mamoru sighed in defeat. He pulled
out a rose from no where and threw it at the wall, right by
Motoki's shoulder.
"What did you do that for! You don't though things at a
friend!"
"Did you even see what I threw at you?"
"Of course I did! I was a rose...." Recognition donned in
his eyes and he stared at his friend once again.
"You're Tuxedo Kamen?" Mamoru rolled his eyes at the
brilliance of that statement.
"No. I go around Tokyo in a short skirt and call myself
Sailor Earth. Of course I'm Tuxedo Kamen!" Mamoru stood up a
little miffed.
"Can you sign the game at the arcade?" Mamoru sighed and
fell back onto his bed.

So, what did you think? Someone had suggested a little while ago
that I add a little more detail to my stories, and well, I'm
working on it!
