Title: Secrets aren't so secret anymore

Author: Sailor Linnea

Chapters: 14

" Speak"

(thoughts)

Sailor Moon avoided everyone's curious eyes and remained silent.

"Yeah, give girl. Were you naughty? Were you doing IT when we called?" Venus asked curiously.

"Venus!" Sailor Moon wailed, embarrassed. Even Tuxedo Mask was a little red.

"I take that as a YES!" Venus said with an evil smile towards the blushing couple.

"Venus! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" Artemis yelled at his charge with a shocked voice.

"Don't spoil the fun, Artemis," Venus replied nonchalantly.

"I don't kiss and tell, not even for a Love Goddess like you, Venus," Tuxedo Mask replied with a charming smile. Venus's response was starry eyes and batting eyelashes.

"Tuxedo Mask, do you have a relative or friend who is as charming as you are? If that is the case, you'll have to introduce him to me," Venus asked with a flirtatious tone.

"Not you, too!" Sailor Moon wailed. "Everyone wants my boyfriend! Do I have to mark him or something to let you know that he is MINE?" (If anyone so much as look at him I'm going to kill them.)

(How nice that you are so possessive of me, darling,) Mamoru replied with a smile.

"Well, either that or write your name on his forehead," Venus giggled.

"That's a good idea!" Sailor Moon mused with a frown.

"You don't have to worry dear. I want YOU and nobody else..." (Besides, Venus's suggestion would destroy my image beyond repair.)

"Aaaah!" The girls sighed with starry eyes.

Sailor Moon's answer to the statement was blushing cheeks and a cute smile towards Tuxedo Mask. The smile turned sour though, when she heard him continue the sentence.

"...even if you are little clumsy and not quite so bright from time to time," he continued, earning a dirty look from his girlfriend.

"Now you've done it, buddy. You made her angry!" Jupiter giggled as she watched her leaders' angry body language.

"Bad idea to upset her like that," Mars continued with an evil grin.

"Don't spoil your romantic speeches like that in the future. It's not appreciated," Moon replied through clenched teeth, her arms waving angrily towards the masked superhero. You could practically see the venom dripping from her mouth.

"Okay! I'll not do that again. I promise," Tuxedo Mask replied with a muted voice and looked at his girlfriend with apologetic eyes.

"I'm afraid I didn't hear you!" Sailor Moon said with an angry voice.

"I said that I wouldn't do that again. You have my word. Please don't be angry at me?" Tuxedo Mask said with a charming voice, batting his eyelashes towards the angry super heroine. (I can make it up to you later, darling. What do you say about a triple chocolate fudge at the arcade tomorrow?)

(All right, I forgive you,) Usagi replied with a smile. (I got an ice cream for free! YEAH!) she thought with a happy grin.

"I see we'll soon have a whipped man in our presence. That's good Sailor Moon, you have to learn him from the beginning of your relationship. That way you avoid future problems," Jupiter advised with a teasing voice. She was rewarded with a dirty look from Tuxedo Mask.

(Your friends are annoying sometimes. They tease me too much and are curious about EVERYTHING!) Mamoru sighed.

(Tell me about it,) Usagi sighed.

"Well, can we go back to the reason why Tuxedo Mask was in Sailor Moon's bedroom in the middle of the night?" Mars asked.

"There was nothing inappropriate going on in Sailor Moon's bedroom," Luna said to end the discussion.

"How do you know that?" Venus said.

"I was there," Luna stated simply, too smart to get in the middle of a Senshi argument.

"I'm surprised that I can't see any bruises on Tuxedo Mask then. Or maybe they are somewhere we can't see?" Jupiter asked with a wicked grin.

"Jupiter!" Sailor Moon wailed loudly.

"Actually, I was too shocked to see him in her bedroom to react to his actions."

"So you mean that something was going on? You 're not much of a guardian I see."

"I'm not a watchdog, you know," Luna bristled, her voice tinged with irritation.

(But sometimes she sure acts like one,) Usagi sighed.

(Well, as long as she doesn't try to stop our relationship,) Mamoru growled.

(Well, in that case, we can always throw her out of the window. I do that all the time when I'm angry with her. If that doesn't work, we can always threaten to take her to the vet. That always works!) Usagi replied with an evil tone.

"Didn't you scratch him a little? Or punished Sailor Moon for making out with him? I mean she is too young to have a serious relationship, don't you think?"

"Mars don't sound so bloodthirsty! And if you think I'm too young to date, you are too young as well!" Sailor Moon replied a blow a raspberry towards Sailor Mars.

"I'm more mature than you are, so in my case there is no problem," Mars replied nonchalant and blow a raspberry back at Sailor Moon.

"Girls, please don't fight!" Luna replied with a sigh.

"Well, she started it!" Sailor Moon replied.

"I did not! She started it when she made out with..." she never had the chance to finish her sentence, because Mercury quickly shut her up by placing her gloved hand above Mars mouth.

"Mercury, why did you do that?" Artemis and Luna asked with curious voices. They had not been told what happened at the arcade earlier that day.

"No reason!" Mercury replied innocently. "I just thought that we should change the subject. Can't we talk about the mind link instead? I want to know how it's possible for them to hear each others thoughts and how long this has been going on," Mercury asked letting go of Mars and quickly bringing forth her computer. She looked eager to know everything. As soon as she let go of Mars, she received an evil look from her. Mercury shrugged her shoulders and once again turned her attention towards Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask. "So tell us, how did this happen?" she asked.

"Actually it's nothing interesting. It's the typical guy/girl story; Boy meets girl. Girl thinks guy is a JERK. Girl gets pissed off. Girl knocks guy out with a video of Bambi!" Tuxedo Mask said with a smile. The only reaction he got from his 'explanation' was blank looks from all present. "I'm kidding, all right?" he chuckled.

"That wasn't funny!" Mercury pouted. "Tell me what you did to achieve the mind link or face the consequences."

"Mercury, was that a threat?" everyone shouted at once, not used to this violent part of their friend.

"Yes, it was! Now, TELL ME!" Mercury shouted, irritated with the constant interruptions to the explanation.

"Actually, we're not sure what we did. All of a sudden, it was there," Sailor Moon sighed.

"I'm not sure, myself. All of a sudden, I could hear her thoughts in my head. I thought I was going mad!" Tuxedo Mask replied with a frown.

"Who says, that you didn't?" Mars said with an evil expression. "I know I would if I could hear all of her thoughts."

"Mars, that's so mean!" Sailor Moon wailed before she frowned.

"What is it honey?" Tuxedo Mask said with concern when he saw her frown.

"I just remembered that my mother knows and she's probably waiting for me to return. She must be worried sick. I have been gone for a long time," she replied.

"Your mother knows?" everyone beside Luna and Tuxedo Mask shouted.

"Yes, Jupiter called when she was in the room and I didn't have any choice but to tell her about my secret identity," Sailor Moon said, nervously awaiting for everyone to yell at her. Surprisingly, everyone was quiet and only looked at her with compassion.

"Then you have to go back home, Sailor Moon. We'll talk tomorrow again?" Sailor Mercury said.

"Okay! See you tomorrow, then!" Sailor Moon said and quickly run home, Tuxedo Mask close behind.

"Darn, how am I supposed to wait until tomorrow to know?" Mercury muttered before going home with a sad expression.

"She scares me when she's acting so abnormal." Mars said watching the departing figure of Mercury.

"Tell me about!" Venus said before they parted to go home.

"Honey, please tell me what's wrong? Where is Usagi?" Kenji repeated when she didn't answer him.

"She's out there. Fighting!" Ikuko said, her face still buried in Kenji's shoulder.

"Fighting? Why is she fighting?" Kenji asked with a frown.

"Because I'm the only who can!" was heard from the doorway. Kenji turned to his daughter, intending to lecture her about going out so late. But what he saw rendered him speechless.

AN/ It's offical...I can't end a chapter without a cliffie...maybe I need to go see a shrink? Anyway, what did you all think? Good, bad? Thank you for all of the reviews...pretty please more to this chapter? What do you think Kenji will say next? Will he faint, be angry, yell?
