Ohayo Minna, Originally "Kiss From A Rose" was only going to be a look at Mamoru's thoughts. But after repeatedly listening to the song and reading it, I realized Usagi needed her own little part. ;)

Sailor Moon stood watching as Tuxedo Kamen disappeared into the distance. Running her hands over the singed edge of her bow she pondered once again how he made her feel. 'His arms are bands of steel yet gentle and protective with the crisp scent of roses, I just don't understand it. Every time he arrives, I always find more strength, more courage, more stamina, why is that?'

Thoughts of the strange feelings Tuxedo Kamen awoke in her brought a soft blush to her cheeks. Without conscientious thought another person snuck into her thoughts. Wavy dark hair fell tousled almost into his eyes.

Sighing in frustration she remembered how angry Chiba Mamoru had made her earlier in the day. 'Why does he pop up in my thoughts? He is nothing like the dashing hero Tuxedo Kamen.' Her heart decided to answer that question for her. 'But secretly he is andyou do have feelings for him.'

Her rational mind questioned her soft heart. 'How can I love two men who are so very different?' Glancing up at the luminous moon she thought about how they both brought out the best in her. "I wonder if they realize how much they both help me bloom.'

A hand waving in her face brought her back to reality. Kamen was long gone and all of her friends stood staring at her.

"Odango what's up? Why were you somewhere else?" Rei looked at her with love and concern in her eyes, waiting impatiently to hear that she was all right.

Usagi stood thinking trying to find an appropriate answer. "I was just reviewing our battle for uh…to uh…see where we could have done better." The senshi glanced at her with shock.

"About time really…is that what you were thinking about?" Ami looked disbelieving but smiled teasingly. "Well what could we do better?" She looked to Usagi for an answer.

"Well I think…we…were off tonight, yeah a little slow you know what I mean." She glanced at everyone as she pondered her next words. 'Hehehe I got it this time; I will make sense and surprise them.' Deciding to continue she spoke once more. "I think we need to practice more." As the words left her mouth she realized what she had said. Paling she was just getting ready to try and backtrack when the shock wore off of everyone else.

"Sailor Moon, are you sick? Are you sure you're feeling all right?" Sailor Venus asked looking very concerned. "Did the Youma attack catch you?" The girls all looked at their leader sympathetically.

Usagi could find no words and Rei stepped in saving her. "Why don't you go home and get some rest? We all need to, and I am sure you will feel much better after some sleep." Patting Sailor Moon gently on the shoulder she gave her a gentle push. "Get going and de-transform, we don't need the enemy seeing you out and about."

Sailor Moon pushed the button on her locket and Sailor Moon became plain Usagi. "Night guys, I'll see you in the morning."
