"Hey! Sailor Senshi! Tuxedo Kamen!" a voice called out from the shadows, "Or should I say Minako, Ami, Rei, Matoko, and Mamoru?"

All the searching for Usagi halted as their heart froze and a chill crept up all the senshi's spines. Mars gulped in air and slowly turned towards the voice.

*****

A giggle rose in Michiru's throat and she could barely muffle it, "Oh Haruka, I can't do this...I don't think we can pull this off."

Sailor Uranus grinned wickedly and only shook her head, "We have to. You heard what Pluto said. We just have to follow her plan to buy her some time."

The petite, aqua haired Neptune only nodded, unsure if her voice would show her amusement.

*****

Usagi groaned as she was bounced around in Endymion's arms. Her eyes slowly fluttered began to open, but snapped shut when she realized how high in the air she was. Usagi felt them drop towards the ground before the man leapt up back to the air. The blonde would have screamed, but she felt safe in the strong arms...besides her scream was trapped in her throat. Her grip tightened on the man who held her.

"So you're finally awake," Endymion stated, relieve that she seemed fine.

Usagi's azure eyes finally opened, and catching a glimpse of the person who held her, she gawked at the prince.

"MAMORU!?" Usagi exclaimed, "What are you doing?! Never mind, what are you wearing?! Are you insane or something?!"

Endymion resisted the urge to cover his ears from the verbal assault and studied the girl in his arms more closely. He nearly dropped her when he realized he had grabbed a similar looking girl instead of Serenity. "You're not Serenity!" he blurted out, staring at the frazzled blonde.

(Middy: Ummmm...duh?
Pu: 'Bout time he saw that...)

"No really?!" Usagi said flopping back into the Prince's arms and rolling her eyes. Lifting herself up to face dark haired man again, her eyes flashed and jealousy made a blush rise to her cheeks as she snapped, "Oh and Mamoru? Whoever this Serenity is, I completely doubt she'd appreciate being carried off like this." As she felt his warmth creep into her, Usagi felt herself flush a deeper red. "Why do I care?" she question herself silently as she hid her face, "Is not like it's MY problem if Mamoru decides to go caring off random girls in a weird outfit. I'm only disturbed because...well who wouldn't be disturbed by how Mamoru is acting!"

(Middy: Usagi has gotten really good at deluding herself!
Pu: You make it sound like a good thing...
Middy: It's not! But it's good to be good at something easy...like...I dunno telling time or finding directions?
Pu: -_-;;)

"Mamoru?" Endymion questioned, stopping on a roof and running the familiar name through his mind, "Why are you calling me that?"

Usagi's head whipped up and she stared at the Prince through narrow azure eyes. "Because," the blonde began slowly, "that's your name. Seriously Mamoru," she said shaking her head, "you need to take yourself off whatever has you acting so...freaky!"

The Prince's brow furrowed as he stared down at the petite girl who paced the rooftop they had stopped on. "I'm not Mamoru--"

Usagi shivered despite the warm day and raised a hand cutting off the Prince's words. Why did it hurt that he wanted a girl named Serenity and not her? "I've had enough Mamoru! For once, stop teasing me. I'm not that dumb. Just please," Gulping back tears she continued, "please take me home..."

Endymion's heart broke as he saw tears course freely down her pale face. Quickly, he walked towards her and took her wrist spinning her to face him. Usagi gasped as she felt his thumb and forefinger grasp her chin firmly and gently to keep her from turning away. "Listen to me," he murmured comfortingly, "I don't how cruel anyone could be to cause you to cry like this, but believe me...I am not this Mamoru and I won't hurt you!"

Usagi heart stopped as she stared at the determined sapphire eyes and tried to hide her embarrassment at being so close to him. Still caught in his warm grip, she tilted her head to the side and questioned wiping away her tears, "Then, if you're not Mamoru who are you?"

*****

Venus instinctively shifted towards the front, putting herself between the people in the shadows and the senshi. "How do you know who we are?" Minako commanded as the Venus chain began to form a pulsing warmth within the palm of her hand.

A giggle arose from one of the figures hidden from view, "Shouldn't your first question be who are we?" A light musical voice asked as it shifted towards the sunlight.

Mars violet eyes narrowed and snapped, "Quit with the games! We don't have time for this!"

"Oy, I see," another voice purred, also moving towards the senshi, "Did the senshi lose their little leader?"

"What do you know about her?!" Jupiter demanded, moving forward also.

Stepping into the light, a masked woman wore an aqua vest and a white billowing skirt. Her hair was the same shade as her vest and was tightly braided. Raising a gloved hand, she gestured as she responded, "Oh, a little of this, a little of that. Sailor Moon is well known around the Dark Kingdom."

Behind her, her partner nodded. Masked similarly, the tall and leanly built associate was dressed in a white uniform with blue long pants. Short sandy blonde hair spilled over the pale mask. Golden power formed into a ball in the glove fist and shot toward the senshi, darting up before grazing the group.

"We," the shorter aqua haired girl stated, leaning against the sandy blonde, "are the Dark Senshi."

(Pu: Alright, I'm giving you three guesses on who the duo is and the last two don't count.
Middy: Weren't you listening Pu? They said they were the Dark Senshi.
Pu: *sweatdrop* You truly have no idea?! You make my head hurt...
Middy: Hey! My mom says that a lot!)

*****

Pluto rushed down the street looking for the Prince, Princess, or Usagi grinning, "I hope Uranus and Neptune aren't having too much trouble with holding back the inner senshi."

Her crimson eyes easily swept the crowds, running the list of places were they could have gone through her mind. "I'm not surprised Endymion didn't recognize me," she murmured with a smirk, "Only Queen Serenity and Princess Serenity have seen me and know I am Pluto beside the outer senshi."

Once again, due to her inability to look forward when walking, Setsuna crashed...or rather tripped over another person...er...cat.

"REEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!"

"Gah!" Pluto exclaimed, turning to see whom else she had run over today, "LUNA!"

The squished and twitching black fur ball, that once resembled a cat, was swiftly picked up by the Guardian of Time. Shaking the cat a little to catch it's attention, Setsuna asked, "Have you seen Usagi?"

The black little kitty in Pluto's death grip could only meow because; if Setsuna bothered to check past the band aid she would find no golden crescent moon on the cat's forehead.

(Middy: Sooooo...You got sidetracked by talking to a cat that you thought was Luna...
Pu: ^^;; I thought Luna hurt her head or something!
Middy: *pats* It's okay. You've done worse.
Pu: v.v;)
