Hello Minna, This is just a little something that has been torturing me. I want to dedicate it to Dragon Master Cale, as his AMV "Kiss From A Rose" inspired it. It is one of my all time favorite Sailor Moon music videos. If you haven't seen it I would seriously suggest finding it and downloading it. Ah just thinking of it has me sighing, anyway I hope this little peek into Mamo-chan's mind does it justice! Enjoy Minna-san -

Chiba Mamoru had just walked into his apartment, from a late night studying session, when he felt the elemental tug. Making his way to his balcony he pulled a rose from his wrist and with a swirl of rose blossoms he stood as Tuxedo Kamen. Bounding lightly over the rail he followed the mesmerizing pull.

Arriving in the downtown area he landed softly concealed in a leafy tree. Surveying the battle before him, he stood motionless watching, waiting. A Youma that looked like a giant office chair with arms was throwing fiery staples at the Senshi. Ragged and singed they were trying to find the means to destroy it.

As a staple flew at a distracted Sailor Moon, he jumped into action. With a swirl of his cape, he bounded down drawing a surprised Sailor Moon into his arms. As he flew upwards he could feel her soft body quaking in his arms, he could feel her racing heart. Glancing down at her he could see the stain of a slight blush and the softness of her eyes.

"You came" It was not a question just a breathless declaration. He settled her closer before landing a short distance away from where she had recently stood. Regaining her footing as he set her down, a stronger sense of confidence settled in her. 'I can do this.' She grinned as he spoke in her ear.

"Now Sailor Moon" He watched pleased as she gracefully moved through her motions. "Moon…Tiara…Action!" The discus flew in a round arc catching the Youma unaware. By the time the monster crumbled to ashes he had bounded into the shadows slipping away into the night.

Tuxedo Kamen bounded onto his balcony and de-transformed back to Mamoru. Lost in thought he stood staring out over Tokyo. 'What is it about Sailor Moon that calls to me and what about the princess in my dreams and that annoying Tsukino Usagi?'

Shaking his head in order to clear it he growled in frustration. He found himself thinking of all three women at the oddest moments.

'The princess haunts my dreams pleading with me. I know I should know her and she calls to me speaking of a Crystal, but what my heart hears is a different story. She speaks of love a love so strong my heart recognizes it even if I don't.'

'Sailor Moon haunts my nights as I watch over her and her courage tugs at my heart, never giving up even when things seem impossible. She would sacrifice herself to save everyone if necessary and the unselfishness of her attitude amazes me.'

Tsukino-san haunts my days fighting with me always arguing, seeing her each day brings some color into my life.' He thought back to earlier in the day when Usagi had been red faced and spitting fire and he smiled a rare smile.

He dropped his head into his hands, the three girls swirling around in his head. 'Why oh why me, kami-sama what did I do to deserve this?' Mamoru knew it was bad to be in love with three separate women but that didn't stop it from happening to him.

Living most of his life in a cold empty atmosphere had closed him off. When his parents had died his heart seemed locked away, frozen in ice, and was now slowly thawing. He feared, yet revered the emotions these three women awoke in him.

Raising his head slowly he glanced up to see the moon brilliantly glowing against a velvet darkness, soothing him much like a lover's touch. He sighed softly, smirking in the dark, before glancing up at the moon a second time.

'If only they realized how much they light my dark soul.'
