"So, you're back" a soft voice said behind me. I turned around, and there was Brian sitting on my couch, his legs stretched out, his arm hanging over the other side. He always had a water bottle in his hand. "What do you want?" "Answers, and this time Rina, I am not leaving until I get some"

"Oh yes you are" I stated back, with just as much determination as he had "Please?" "I'll tell you what I can," I grumbled at him, and with my eyes I glared at him, never being able to say no to him. "Good! Now lets play 20 questions, shall we?" He said in such a way that it made me want to throw up "Don't mock me" I warned "Is that a threat?"

"Yes" "Alright, question #1 Where are you from?" He said, continuing on as if he hadn't heard me, or perhaps he was actually scared enough to not stick to that subject.

"Earth" "Question #2, Why are you after Usagi, and who's the cat?" "You followed me," I said genuinely surprised, "well, the cat is a trainer, and Usagi is a special girl" "So she's a senshi?"

"I didn't say that" "But you implied it!" At him saying that, I smiled; he was always good at word games. "Question #3 Who am I?"

"An earthling with special power" I mumbled to him "Question #4, What's my name?" "Brian" I answered although I knew that he didn't want that answer "Very funny, you know that I want my alter-ego name!"

"Can't tell you that, Brian" "Fine then, damn you. Question #5 Why do I feel such a strange attraction to you?"

"Probably just lust." "No, I feel something real for you." he said as he sat next to me, and brushed a stray piece of black hair out of my face. His hand grabbed mine. "I'm not letting go until you tell me," he said. 'That's not much of a punishment' I thought to myself. Just to test him, I tried to get up. He kept true to his word. "Come on, just let me go for 30 seconds, I need to run to the refrigerator and back. Do you want something?"

"I'll go with you" Brian said, keeping my hand in his as we walked to the refrigerator, "You drink a lot." Brian muttered, peering into my fridge and seeing a lot of wine coolers, some whiskey, and some beer. "Yeah, I guess I do." "It's not healthy you know." he said to me "I drink a ton of tea with.. I just drink a ton of tea" "With who? Your boyfriend?" "No no no, nothing like that. I share this place with someone, although she comes and goes as she pleases" I said to him, looking into his eyes. His hand still held mine, his eyes locked in gaze with mine. I would swear to you that my heart tripled in speed, I wanted him again, yet on the surface I knew it was not to be, but deep down I knew that it was to be, as did he. His lips closed into mine and caught them in the sweetest kiss possible.

"Br." I started to say, trying to pull back, but his strength overcame mine. His arms wrapped tightly around me as his tongue pushed into my mouth. One of his arms was across my back pulling me close to him; the other one was on my butt firmly holding me. I never wanted this to happen, but it did. Slowly we were making our way to the couch, him pushing and me pulling, we both wanted each other, the need for him rose up in me and over powered me as his demanding lips got a passionate response from mine. I felt his heart quicken, after all we were pressed up against each other on the couch now. He was on me pushing me down, into the couch. His tongue was in my mouth now. He was kissing me with such a passion that it was impossible not to respond to him.

Finally, I managed to get some resistance and push him off of me. He quickly sat up, as did I. We stared at each other from opposite ends of the couch. "Rei.Oh my god! I'm so sorry." Brian whispered as he turned and fled. I understood though, he had never really wanted me around him; he wanted a nice quaint life in Japan with Rei at his side. He didn't want destiny, or fate to intervene and crash him to a halt. But, then again, that's already been stated. or has it? My mind was in such a jumble right now all I could think about was how nice his body had felt against mine. How nice it had been to have him, again.

"DAMN YOU SETSUNA!" I screamed out "Well, I hope you had fun, because now you have a job to complete."

"Fuck that! WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP THAT?" "Not my place too" The guardian of time answered me smoothly "You were the one who said that you weren't going to do anything about it." "Yeah, well, it was a mistake, a one time mistake. And what did you mean a job?" "If you say so. Well, tonight is Sailor Moon's first appearance, you know. You'll have to be there. Plus, don't you want to meet her protector?"

"Yes" I said, closing my eyes trying to clear my head. "Tea helps that, you know," She said, laughingly as she walked in to start making some tea.

I was there. I had seen it. I, Sailor Crystal Red, watched Sailor Moon in joy. It was so wonderful to see another senshi again even if she wasn't the greatest. In fact, I was pretty sure that had that monster been a little stronger then Sailor Moon would have been toast. "No!" I whispered out loud as I seen the demon youma getting ready to attack as Sailor Moon was on the ground, screaming. I had to admit; her screaming could wake the dead.

A red rose sliced over the youma's hand, cutting it. 'What the.?' I thought, but then I seen and heard him. Tuxedo Mask. So that was her protector. Upon closer examination of Tuxedo Mask I seen what made me want to jump and scream for joy. His deep blue eyes that could barely be made out through the mask, his dark ebony hair, his muscular body. There was no mistaken any of that. That was the lost Earth Prince! Prince Endymoin. He was known as Mamoru Chiba in this life. Sailor Pluto had warned me '.but he will not know who he is.' And now, that clicked into place. He was automatically coming to Sailor Moon's aid, to save her. Pluto had never mentioned the Moon Princess to me so I had no idea if Sailor Moon was the princess or if she was to act as the Princess's bodyguard.

Luna was there, instructing Sailor Moon on what to do. I faintly heard "Throw your tiara. and then say 'Moon Tiara Action'" And, it was a wonderful site to see Sailor Moon do just those! She took her tiara off of her head, after calming down some, then in a sparkle of colors, glitter, and spinning she had it thrown at the enemy and screamed those 3 words out. I smiled and fled, before anyone could notice me. Now, to find Ami, I would leave in the morning.
