------ Chapter 9 ~ Unexplained Emotions ------

"Aishiteru, Usako." Before she could respond, he covered her sweet lips with his.

Usagi was in shock. She was confused, yet…excited. 'Why do I feel like this is…right?' she said to herself. Mamoru wrapped his free arm around her waist and pulled her to his body. He moved his other hand behind her head. She put her arms around the back of his head and kissed him back. Mamoru began having visions in his head while kissing Usagi…

~*~*~* Flashback *~*~*~

There was a ball at the palace. Everyone had masks on. Princess Usagi was walking down the stairs. Then, someone grabbed her hand. She stopped and turned to see who it was.

"May I have this dance?" asked a young man in a black tuxedo and a black mask. She smiled at him and nodded. He walked her to the dance floor. 'Mamoru' she said in her mind. He took one hand and put it around her waist. Then he took his other hand and wrapped his fingers in hers. The music began and they began to waltz around. Everyone else just watched them dance.

"Usako, I'll have to go very soon. Earth has been attacked." He said softly as they danced

"I see. When are you leaving?"

"After this dance." She looked down.

******

They were outside in the balcony with the Earth high up in the sky.

"Here." Usagi held out her hand to Mamoru. She had a star shaped locket. "Please have this…to remember me by."

"Usako, I'll always remember you. How could I forget you? I promise I'll be back soon." He smiled at her and she smiled back with teary eyes. He lean down and kissed her gently and passionately.

~*~*~* End Flashback *~*~*~

It was quiet and dark in the Tsukino house. Mamoru and Usagi were still kissing.

After what seemed like an eternity to him, Mamoru slowly departed from her. He gazed into her big, blue eyes. Her lips were swollen from the kiss.

"Mamo—" Usagi began but didn't finish. Mamoru put his long index finger on her lips. He smiled gently.

"I have to go. It's getting late." He whispered to her. He gave one last kiss. Then he left, leaving her alone with her thoughts.

"What was that about?" she asked herself. She was so confused that she forgot to eat and went to her bedroom.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Usagi! Time to eat breakfast!" called out Ikuko from the kitchen. Usagi wake up when she smelled food. She immediately got up from her bed and went downstairs.

"Ohayo, Usagi."

"Ohayo, okaa-san. Ohayo, otou-san." She went to the table and sat down. Once Ikuko put her plate down in front or her, she began eating.

"I guess her eating habits haven't changed." Said Kenji quietly.

~~~~~~~~~~

At Rei's temple…

"Oi minna!"

The girls turned around and said hi to Makoto who was walking towards them.

"So…" she began. "Are we still going to go visit Usagi?"

"Actually, we were just waiting on you to go," answered Rei.

"Well then," Minako interrupted, "let's get going."

~~~~~~~~~~

Mamoru was still in bed. He was just staring at the ceiling. He took a look at his clock. 'Noon already.' He sighed, then he got up. He put on some clothes and went out the door.

~~~~~~~~~~

Usagi was in her room. She was just sitting by her bed, deep in her thoughts. 'Why did Mamoru-san kiss me?' she kept asking herself. 'Why?' Her thoughts were interrupted when there was a knock on her door.

"Who is it?"

"Usagi, your friends are here to see you. Can they come in?" Ikuko replied.

"Hai." The girls went in and found Usagi some what depressed. She was on the floor with her head down.

"Oi, Usagi-chan." said Makoto. "Why the long face?" Usagi didn't answer.

"What's wrong?" asked Ami.

"Nothing." Usagi whispered.

Minako knelt down beside her. "Come on…tell us what's wrong. We're your friends." Usagi looked up at her. "Huh?" Minako saw that Usagi was crying. "Why are you crying, Usagi-chan?"

It took a while for her to answer. "Because… Because, I can't remember. I… I don't remember anything. Not about you, or my family, or…" she paused. "Or Mamoru-san," she said quietly.

The girls looked at each other a bit confused.

"Don't cry, Usagi-chan," said Makoto as she knelt down. "You'll get your memories back. You'll see."

"When…?" Usagi asked.

The girls fell silent. They didn't like to see their friend depressed like this, but they didn't know what to do to cheer her up.

Minako hugged Usagi and said "It's okay, Usagi. We're here for you. Please don't cry. We don't like to see you so sad."

"…Arigato, minna…" said Usagi. Makoto turned to look at Rei and saw that she had a serious look on her face.

"What's wrong, Rei?" Rei didn't answer her. She looked at Usagi.

"Usagi-chan…We have to go. We have something very important to do. We'll come again tomorrow, alright?" Usagi nodded and smiled at her. "Come on girls," Rei stood up and looked at the others. "We have to go." Minako took one last look at Usagi before leaving. Then went out the door leaving Usagi alone once more.

~~~~~~~~~~

Rei and the others were running towards the park.

"What is it, Rei?" asked Ami.

"I have a feeling that a youma's attacking."

"I think it's time we transformed then." Suggested Minako. They stopped and nodded at each other. Then they transformed and went on their way.

~~~~~~~~~~

Mamoru was at the arcade talking to Motoki.

"What's wrong Mamoru?"

"Oh…nothing."

Motoki smiled. "You were thinking about Usagi, weren't you?"

"Huh? W-Why would you say that?" Motoki raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, so I can't fool you."

"How has she been? I haven't been able to go see her lately."

"She's doing fine."

"How about you?"

What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean." Motoki sat down beside him.

"What do you want to know?" asked Mamoru.

"I just want to know exactly how you feel for Usagi."

"Just that, huh?" Mamoru said sarcastically.

"Aa… I'm your best friend. You can tell me anything."

Mamoru turned away from him and fell into silence.

"Come on, Mamoru. I'm dying to know."

"Well…" Mamoru began. He turned to face Motoki. "To tell you the truth… I'm not sure how I feel about Usagi."

"Are you sure?"

"Motoki, I'm confused. I don't know what to make of this feelings anymore…"

"…anymore…?" Motoki interrupted. "You mean…You've been feeling like this for sometime already?"

"Three months to be exact." Mamoru answered.

"THREE MONTHS!" Motoki yelled. He turned around and noticed people staring at him.

"Will you please keep it down, Motoki?"

"Gomen. But it's just that…three months… That's a long time. Why haven't you told her?"

"What do you think she would have said? We're worst enemies!"

"Were." Motoki corrected him. "You can start all over now."

"I don't know. What if she rejects me? Well I doubt it after I k—" He stopped mid-sentence.

"YOU KISSED HER!" again Motoki yelled, and again people stared at him like he was crazy. Mamoru might have not finished his sentenced, but Motoki knew what he was going to say. "What were you thinking?"

"That's the problem."

"Huh?"

"I wasn't thinking. I just couldn't help it."

"Well…the only advice I have for you right now is for you to tell her what you feel. After that kiss, you must've confused her."

Mamoru sighed. "You're right."

"Of course I am! I'm always right."

"Yeah right!"

"Now, you go straight to Usagi and tell her!"

"Yes, sir." Mamoru said, then he left the arcade.

~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile at the park……

"Watch out, Mercury!" yelled Jupiter. Mercury dodged in time.

"Jupiter… Thunder… Blast!" The youma dodged Jupiter's attack by jumping in the air.

"Mars… Fire… Ign—" The youma had gotten Mars. She was knocked out cold.

"Mars!" the remaining scouts yelled in union. Venus had already been hit and was unconscious.

"What are we going to do?" Mercury asked.

"I don't know." Responded Jupiter.

"It looks like we have won!"

Jupiter and Mercury looked up to see who had said that. It was Alan and Ann.

"Omae wa!" Jupiter said.

"Without Sailor Moon, it looks like you are powerless." spoke Alan.

"Floresta (the youma's name…don't ask I made it up), destroy them!" ordered Ann.

Floresta charged towards Jupiter and Mercury.

'I don't know how we'll get out of this one.' Jupiter said to her self.
