Usagi arrived at the scene. "Oh my god." Children littered the playground floor. She heard someone cry out and looked over to her right. Standing on the monkey bars was the same youma from last night. It held a woman in its grasp by the neck. "Hey let her go!" The youma looked at her and scoffed, "oh really. And what are you going to do about it." Usagi glared at it. She ran full tilt to the monkey bars. Mamoru arrived and shouted, "Usagi no!" Usagi jumped landing on the stepping logs. She jumped again grabbing two of the bars. She swung her body through the two bars and landed on the wood. She stood two bars away from the youma. "Let her go." The youma smirked. The woman cried out again as she continued to glow. Mamoru ran closer. Usagi took a step closer. She then did a flying kick making contact with the youma's face. It growled and dropped the woman. Mamoru caught her. The youma then stated, "You hold great power for just a girl." Usagi frowned, "What do you mean?" The youma grinned, "Wait and find out." He lashed out and Usagi jumped back. Her foot slipped. The youma caught her and Usagi began to glow. She gritted her teeth and winced. The pain grew more by the second and Usagi couldn't hold it. She screamed and the Youma laughed. "Yes scream! Scream and give me your energy." Usagi's legs kicked around trying to get free. But slowly her legs stopped moving. A rose flew through the air hitting the Youma in the back. He cried out and dropped Usagi. She fell to the ground. The youma stood and stated, "no matter I got all of her energy." Tuxedo Mask looked down at Usagi. Her eyes were darker than normal and her body didn't move. He began to shake. "You killed her! You monster!" "World Shaking!" The ball of energy hit the beast and he cried out. Sailor Uranus shouted, "You'll pay for that you Kono Yaro!" "Mars Flame Sniper!" The youma screamed and fell to the ground. He stood and glared at the Sailor Senshi. "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" The leaves sliced at his skin.

Tuxedo Mask lifted Usagi up from the ground. Her limb body didn't move or reply to his gentle touch. He clenched his teeth in anger.

The Youma screamed in pain before dieing. Glowing ball of energy shot out hitting each of the Youma's victims.

Tuxedo mask became Mamoru as he watched her body glow. "Usagi?" Slowly her eyes opened. "Mamoru?" Mamoru smiled, "Are you ok?" Usagi nodded and sat up. All the other children were getting up as well as the woman. "What happened?" Mamoru stated, "The Sailor Senshi came and destroyed the monster." Usagi stood with Mamoru. "Oh..."

Minako sighed as she drugged her feet. "Man I can't believe we lost them." Makoto nodded, "that stupid youma." Haruka clenched her fists in anger. Michiru placed her hand on her partners shoulder. "It's ok." Haruka sighed, "I can't believe we almost lost her like that." Rei shook her head. "We didn't almost loose her. I felt a power in her. A strange source of energy that started growing. But when her own energy returned it was gone. Michiru asked, "Could it have been the crystal?" Rei replied, "I'm not sure. I think we should talk to Artimis more about the princess." Minako shook her head. "It's gonna have to wait. See there they are." The girls looked over to see Usagi and Mamoru sitting on a bench. Usagi was eating chocolate ice cream. Minako smiled, "they make such a good couple. Come on lets get closer."

Usagi looked at Mamoru, "Are you sure you don't want any? It's really good." Mamoru shook his head. Usagi held it close to his mouth, "Come on. Chocolates good for you." Mamoru raised an eyebrow. "Than you must be in perfect health." Usagi glared at him causing Mamoru to laugh. Usagi grinned. With her finger she dipped it in her ice cream and then poked it into Mamoru's mouth. Mamoru closed his mouth around her finger and licked off the ice cream. Usagi removed her finger and stated, "see it's yummy huh?" Mamoru nodded and asked, "do you want to go to the lake now?" Usagi nodded and stood. She tossed the rest of her treat in the trash and grabbed Mamoru's arm. She pulled him up and down the path.

The sun was setting as the couple made it to the lake. Usagi let Mamoru go and ran the rest of the way. "Wow, it's so beautiful." She stood at the edge and turned as Mamoru joined her. He nodded as he stared at her. Usagi smiled and looked out at the water. Birds flew into the air chirping. Usagi inhaled sharply, "it's like a painting." Mamoru moved closer as the sun slowly set. Usagi sighed in content. "You never get to see these in New York." She looked up at him. Mamoru asked, "Is that were your parents are sill at?" Usagi shook her head. "No. They died when I was four in a crash." Mamoru's face hardened. Usagi looked up at the sky. "You're nicer than I thought." Mamoru's eyes softened. "I thought you were one of those men who had one thing on their mind. I thought the same of Jason." "Are you two..." Usagi laughed out loud. "No...we're more like brother and sister. Kevin is an over protective father to me. I've known him since I was six." The sun fell beneath the lake and the sky was dark. The star littered the sky and the moon kept the darkness around the couple less scary. Usagi closed her eyes. "The moon is so beautiful." She opened her eyes to look at Mamoru. "Don't you agree?" Mamoru was shock by the huskiness in her voice. She moved closer to him her eyes filled with an emotion that startled Mamoru to the core. She raised an eyebrow and Mamoru slowly nodded.

Minako pushed Makoto's head out of the way. "Hey I can't see." "What's happening?" "I think Usagi is advancing on Mamoru san." "What!" Four heads joined Rei's. "I can't believe it." Haruka asked, "is it just me or does Usagi acting different suddenly?" The other four just nodded. "Oh my god."

Usagi placed a hand on Mamoru's shoulder. "Thank you for the wonderful time I had." Mamoru swallowed hard and went to remove Usagi's hand. "Usagi are you alright?" Usagi nodded her eyes slightly glowing a light blue color. "Usagi?" Usagi wrapped her arm around his neck as she raised the other one to his face. She ran her fingers of his cheek and down his neck. Mamoru asked, "What are..." He was cut off when Usagi leaned up on her tiptoes. She moved closer while whispering; "Sh..." She planted her lips over his. If you listened closely you could hear five people in the background gasp. Mamoru's eyes widen in surprise. Usagi angled her head to the side. Mamoru groaned, closing his eyes and returned the kiss moving his lips over her. She complied opening her mouth letting him in. Mamoru pulled back letting his eyes stay close and savoring the taste of her lips. Usagi opened her eyes and stared at Mamoru. She blinked several times and her eyes went normal. Mamoru opened his eyes and stared down at the startled Usagi.
