Disclaimer: I hate these things, but let's face it, as much as I hate to break the news to you, I don't own Sailor Moon, nor will I ever……
Chapter 6: Help! Tuxedo Mask!
The next week after we found out who the masked fighter was, we started to plan ways to trick Darien into telling us that he was Tuxedo Mask. Amy had the best way to prove it so far….
"Are you sure Amy? That sounds hard."
"I know Mina, but you aren't going to be putting the plan into action, Ray is."
"I don't see why. Just look at him. He's always trying for the Tuxedo Mask dolls."
"I see that Serena, I was just making a statement."
"Well don't."
"All you are is jealous, Serena."
"I am not Ray. I just…."
"Would you two just stop!" Lita had just got there. "If we are going to prove who Tuxedo Mask is, we are going to have to work together!"
"Shhhhhhh! He's right over there!" they all said in a whisper.
Lita clamped her hands to her mouth and looked with the rest of us at Darien. When they realized he was still talking to Andrew and not looking at them, they relaxed.
"Listen Lita, you are going to have to keep your voice down. You could have ruined it for us."
"Serena, I hate to bust your bubble, but I'm afraid I have." She said this as she pointed. We looked and Darien was walking over to us. Tension broke out over the table again. Was he going to ask why we said his name, or was it something else?
"Hi Ray. Would you like to get a snow cone with me?"
We all about fell over in our seats. Did he just ask Ray to get a snow cone with him!?!?!?
"Sure Darien. It will give me a chance to talk to you about some things I want to ask you. Let me out Serena."
"Don't you know how to say 'please'?"
"Yes Serena…."
"So that's your name. I was always wondering who you were since the first time you ran into me." He suddenly smiled slyly. "I hope you don't mind, Serena, if I call you Meat Ball Head?"
Then he turned and walked away with Ray without waiting for the answer. They all looked at each other. Ray was going to ask Darien certain questions, and they knew what they were.
*That afternoon*
"Well, how did it go Ray? Did it work?"
"What do you think Amy? Of course it worked. I asked him the questions and he gave me simple answers."
"What kind of answers?" Serena asked looking down at the ground but sounded casual.
"Well, for starters," Ray started, eyes looking at the sky like she was thinking. "He said he was only collecting Sailor Scout dolls. I mean, a lot of other people do. What's wrong Serena?" Ray sounded worried and as Serena looked up at Ray, she found her looking worried as well.
"Why should you care Ray?" She said it all very fast as she looked back down at her feet.
"But I do care, Serena. Here, maybe this will make you feel better." She paused and took something out of her back-pack and handed it to Serena. It was a porcelain Sailor Moon doll.
"Thanks Ray."
"You shouldn't be thanking me Serena. It's Darien you should be thinking. He's the one who said that you would like it."
Serena looked up shocked, then turned around and ran in the other direction into the forest. The others yelled at her but she didn't hear them. They gave up and ran after her but she was so far ahead they lost her easily. All the others wondered why she ran away like that but there was nothing they could do.
*In the forest*
Serena knew she was getting lost, but she didn't care. She was too caught up in her feelings to care. After a while, though, she stopped to catch her breath. She had transformed at least a mile back and as she glanced at her uniform, she saw that it was covered with dirt and leaves where she had fallen. As she started to pick them off of her, she heard a very familiar voice, and one she didn't know.
"I didn't get it, my lady."
"You didn't get it! Why not? I expected better of you Johnathon."
"My lady, Sailor moon keeps getting in the way!"
"Not anymore. Please bring her out."
The next moment Sailor Moon felt two pairs of hands grab her arms and push her toward the two people.
"Well Sailor Moon, so nice for you to drop by. You really did us a favor by coming to us."
"I didn't come to you, you lousy good for nothing…."
Before she got all of it out she was struck hard across the face. She could feel the blood running down her face where she was cut by one of the woman's nails. The two people let go of Sailor Moon and she fell to her knees.
"Now after that remark I am going to kill you. Well wait a minute, I was going to do anyway." she laughed a very cold and heartless laugh as the two men and Johnathon started hitting her. Sailor Moon could barely stand up. They were going to keep hitting her till she couldn't move. Then out of no where a hand reached out and grabbed her away from the other hands. She looked around and found she was in a tree. Tuxedo Mask was there with her holding her upright.
"What is the meaning of this Sailor Moon? Running off like that and getting lost! You could have been killed!"
"I'm sorry. I was stupid I know, but…but there were these feelings I didn't want the others to find out about."
"Sailor Moon, the Sailor Scouts are supposed to share their feelings, not keep them away from each other. What is this?"
He bent down and picked up the Sailor Moon doll she was given and held it up. Tuxedo Mask just stood and looked at the doll for the longest time. Then he looked up at Sailor Moon and he knew who she was just as she, Sailor Moon, know who he was.
"Um, Sailor Moon, tell me, what is your name and I will tell you mine."
"Well. I, um…………HELP!"
"Sailor Moon!"
Sailor Moon had been grabbed by Johnathon and he was pulling her out of Tuxedo Mask's grip, or at least tried to. Tuxedo Mask pulled Sailor Moon out of Johnathon's grip, jumped to the ground, and ran. Right now he didn't care if he got caught, he was only worried about Sailor Moon. As he ran, all kinds of questions popped up in his head.
'Is it really her? How can that be? I don't believe this!'
He then saw what he was looking for. Right behind a tree, there was a very small cave. Only big enough for two people to lay in. As he got closer, he jumped and slid into the cave. A few minutes later, Johnathon, the two men, and the woman ran past. He then climbed out. He then helped Sailor Moon get out and picked up the doll out of the cave, gave it to Sailor Moon, then picked her up and started carrying the now passed out Sailor Moon out of the woods.
