Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon. I DO own the characters I created though. Course, if the creators of Sailor Moon wanna use them, and give me my own credit on a new "Series" of Sailor Moon, I'd say YES!!!!

AN: What? Author's notes BEFORE the story? Yes, my friends, it is here. Mainly to make you go "ARG... Get to the story! Is Luna okay! Is Luna OKAY!"

But I felt I should thank all who have been reviewing, because I feed on praise (Actually, constructive criticism is a good side dish) and the more praise I get, the more I write... And ya know, I'm getting enough repeat customers I MIGHT just have to write more with the cats.. Actually, I do have more involving the cats in my magic box (AKA My computer) that I am not ready to use yet... or is so remarkably Parodyish I am afraid of getting mugged for it.

Oh well, I suppose you've suffered enough..on to...



Moon Cats

Chapter 6

"Oh dear..."

That was all Luna could think to say as she, and the officer she was trying to carry to safety began to plummet towards the earth, from the burning building they were escaping.

She closed her eyes, knowing the fall of four stories wouldn't take long, and she just hopped it wouldn't hurt too much.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Artemis rounded the corner, just as something exploded inside the building he was running to. Looking up he saw the Cat-girl who just HAD to be Luna and the cop who went in to save the kids, falling towards the ground. His heart nearly stopped at the sight!

The rest of his body, however, became pure motion! In three strides he reached a police car, and within two more he was on its roof. Then, with on great flexing of his muscular legs he launched himself into the air, his arms stretched out to catch them both.

He hadn't yet wondered where his arms had come from.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Sgt. Hibuki, and the rookie partner, both gasped in horror when the two forms began to fall. The Rookie turned away, but the older cop watched, and saw the white form of Artemis appear.

Time seemed to slow as he reached out for the falling bodies, arms stretched wide to save them from a messy death.

"Come on!" Hibuki prayed.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Temiko Kanada and her cameraman watched both with their eyes and the unblinking camera.

Both saw the white Cat-man appear as if by magic, virtually flying through the air towards the falling cat-woman and cop.

And both saw him grab them both from the air like a descending angel saving them from death.

"This is SO beautiful!" The cameraman nearly yelled.

Temiko didn't know if he meant the rescue or the shot OF the rescue... but agreed either way.

____________________________________________________________________________________

The Sailor Senshi, the Inners plus Saturn, arrived to see the white Cat-man catch the fallers, hit the ground landing easily on his feet, place the cop gently on the concrete, sweep the black Cat-girl up into his arms, and jump away.

"How ROMANTIC!" Sailor Moon sang.

"Yeah..." Venus said, nodding with the same liquid eyes that Sailor Moon had. She quickly shook out of the daze, however, and looked around. "I think we beat Artemis here, though."

"Either way, I think some of us should help the fire fighters, while the rest should go after the Neko-jin." Sailor Mars said.

Mercury nodded. "I'll stay and help put out the fire..."

"And I'll help with any injured!" Saturn jumped in.

"... You all go ahead after the Neko-jin, but don't attack this time!" Mercury finished.

"Right."

___________________________________________________________________________________

Luna had been shocked when, out of nowhere, Artemis appeared and saved her day.

The rush of feelings when she was caught, and then increased when he scooped her up into his strong arms and jumped away, were incomprehensible to her. She felt safe, comforted, scared, and annoyed all at once, and didn't really know why!

Then they were in an alley, away from prying eyes, and Artemis set her down on her feet. "Luna! Are you okay?"

She looked herself over, as if searching for injuries. "Yes, Artemis, Thanks to you."
"Good." He sighed, then got angry. "Now WHAT in the name of the moon were you DOING?"

Luna was shocked, and looked the white Tiger-man in the eyes, angry herself. "Saving people Mr. Monster Hunter!" Then her eyes widened and she spun around, her short skirt swirling around her thighs. "Oh my!"

Artemis blinked in surprise. "Huh?"

"You're... Um... Naked..."

"What? So what... Oh my GOD!" His tone changed as he realized the same thing that Luna had. Modesty WAS an issue in this form.

"HERE!" Luna yelped, holding the Disguise Pen over her shoulder. "Get some clothes on!" She had NEVER been so happy her fur was black as right now. She KNEW her face would be bright red if she was human at the moment.

"Thanks!... Make me clothes!" The lights flashed and soon he was fully clothed, and fully aware of something else. "Wait..."

Luna realized it at the same moment. "If I had the pen..?"

"Then how did I change?"

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The Sailors, specifically Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus found the two Neko-jin. They seemed to be discussing something when the white one threw up his hands in surrender.

"We'll figure it out later! For now let's get you home... And cleaned up! You've got soot all over your face! Love the outfit though."

Sailor Moon decided to introduce them at this point. "Yeah, it's great!"

Stunning diplomatic maneuver it was not, but they DID stop and look at her.

'I wonder why they look so scared.' Sailor Moon thought.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Back at the Gates of Time, the Setsuna of the future, and the Pluto of the now were both laughing hysterically.

"It IS a nice outfit, though." Present chuckled.

Future grinned. "She looks even better in it as a full human! So does Makoto actually..."

"Hmm."

AN: There we are, the Next chapter. Now aren't you happy I settled that Cliffhanger.

Oh wait, there's a new one.

Oh well, they just spring up, don'cha know. Sorry bout that.

(Walks away, without the slightest bit of remorse in his expression, voice, or step.)

AN number two: PLEASE if anyone reading this has artistic skills could you draw Luna and Artemis in their different forms, in their "Fighting Gear". I'm going to give a description next chapter, but I wanna have pictures of them, and I can't draw a straight line. All my artistic skills go into writing these stories... PLEASE (Begs, Pleads, stuff like that.)
