Okay, not much romance, but a lot of suspense and confusion. I don't own Sailor Moon.

The next day at school, Rei was outside, during gym. She was currently attempting to do archery, but with her burnt hand, it was much harder.

The coach came up behind her and shouted at her, "Hino-san, pay attention!"

Rei closed her eyes, trying to control her anger. "Yes, Sato-senshi…" Rei brought her hand back and concentrated on the bulls eyes.

Closing her eyes, the arrow began to glow and she let it go. It hit the bulls eye exactly in the middle.

Everyone stood, shocked, even the coach. Ignoring the throbbing of her hand, Rei lowered her bow. "Like that, Sato-senshi?" Rei smirked.

Sato nodded, mouth hanging open. Rei sense an evil force and instantly dropped her bow. "May I be excused, Sato-senshi?"

Once again, Sato nodded, mouth hanging open still. Rei smirked and walked away, holding her hand carefully.

Just as she entered the locker room, she heard a beeping sound. Running to her locker, she opened it and took out her communicator. "Rei here."

"Rei-chan, we have a problem. The Dark Kingdom's here. Come immediately to class 2-5." Ami's face came on, serious.

Rei nodded. "I'll be there in a few minutes." She closed the communicator and ran out of the locker room.

When she was sure she was far enough away from her school, she held up her henshin pen and shouted out, "Mars Power Make-up!" The pen began to gather energy. Rei then used the pen to create rings of fire around her body. The fire disappeared, and Rei is shown fully transformed. Sailor Mars did a few spins and lands in her final stance.

She jumped up onto the nearest building and began to leap towards Juuban JR. High. She landed on the roof and saw Venus coming from the opposite direction.

She waved as the blond haired senshi landed on the building. "Ready?" Mars asked.

"Ready." Venus replied.

The two girls ran down towards Ami's classroom just to see Moon begin to do her tiara. But Mars gasped when the youma attacked with it's own version of Jupiter's Supreme Thunder.

"No way!" Jupiter exclaimed, as the three dodged it. "It copied my attack!"

The youma stood up, laughing. "This is too easy."

Mars shouted out. "Think again, youma!" as she sent a fireball flying at the youma.

"What?" the youma turned and saw the fireball. Barely dodging it, the fireball fly right by Moon, burning a part of her meatballs off.

"Hey, Mars, watch it!" she shouted, putting it out.

"Sorry." Mars huffed. "But if you had been paying attention, that wouldn't have happened."

"Excuse me?" Moon frowned, walking over.

Mars saw the youma appear behind Moon and was ready to run at it. But just as she was about to kick it, she saw it flying backwards with Mercury flying with it.

Mars gasped as they flew out the window of the three story building!

"Mercury!" the rest of the senshi screamed, running over to watch their friend fall with the youma.

They ran to the window and watched as Mercury grabbed onto the balcony. Mars winced at the cry of pain Mercury uttered.

"Stay there, we'll be right there!" Venus yell as the others ran out the door.

They reached the balcony just as Mercury's hand slipped and she began to fall.

"Mercury!" Venus shouted, reaching for her and barely grabbing her.

Mercury began to cry. "Please don't let go…" she begged.

"I won't." Venus promised. "Come on guys!"

The others began to pull Mercury up. Just as they were beginning to lift her, her glove began to slip off her hand!

As she jerked, everyone held their breath, Mercury crying harder. "Please…" she prayed.

The glove slipped some more as the others began to reach to her actual hand. "Come on Mercury! You can do it!" Jupiter cried, reaching.

Mercury reached up to grab Jupiter's hand. But just as she was almost there, the glove slipped and Mercury began to fall!

"No!" they all screamed as they watched Mercury scream as she fell.

But just as she almost hit the bottom, a figure jumped out of nowhere and caught her!

The senshi stood in shock as the figure leaped off to the top. "Lets go, girls!" Mars motioned, as they ran back upstairs.

They reached the roof just as the figure disappeared. Running up to Mercury, Moon threw her arms around her. "Mercury, are you okay?" she exclaimed, tears flowing.

Mercury nodded and turned to smile at the others. Mars saw something in her eyes but didn't say anything. "I'm fine, girls. We better go check on the others." She turned and began to walk back to the door.

The senshi exchanged glances, then ran after her. They walked down to the classroom where the whole class was passed out.

Walking over, Mars felt a girl's pulse. Closing her eyes in relief, she announced they would be okay.

The others let out a sigh of relief of as well. The girls began to help the people up as they began to wake up.

The boy Mars was holding began to awaken. "Who are you…?" he murmured, eyes blurry.

"A friend." Mars smiled as she placed him in a chair and set him up. He stared at her, eyes unfocused. "Stay here. You'll be fine in just a few moments."

The boy nodded as Mars continued to help the students up. Five minutes later, the girls were done and all the students were almost back to normal.

Smiling, Mars and Venus turned to the others. "Well, we've ditched school long enough. You guys got it here?" Mars asked.

"Yeah. Thanks." Jupiter grinned.

"Ja ne." Venus waved as she and Mars walked out the door.

"Ja ne." Moon waved back.

When the two senshi reached the roof, Mars turned to Venus and grinned. "Well, this is where we part." she teased.

"Yes. But we will see each other again. I promise…" Venus giggled.

Mars laughed with her and began to leap off in the direction of her school. She felt the pain in her hand begin to throb again, and bit her lip to keep the tears from flowing.

She was concentrating so much on her hand that she wasn't paying attention to where she was leaping. She took a leap and realized there wasn't a building there!

Reaching for something to grab, she began to scream as she fell about 10 stories! Shutting her eyes, she braced herself for impact when she felt herself flying up.

"Am I dead…?" she murmured, but then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw that she was indeed flying, but someone was helping her.

She looked up at the person who had caught her and was shocked to see a pair of deep blue eyes that made her heart jump.

When they landed on the ground, the figure put Mars down and was about to jump off when Mars shouted for him to wait.

Hesitating, Mars ran up to him and grabbed his arm, ignoring the pain. "Arigatou gozaimasu! You have no clue how grateful I am."

"Don't be…" he scoffed, throwing her hands off. "This isn't going to happen again."

Mars stared at her savior and felt something familiar about him. He had blond hair, the blue eyes and wore a blue outfit.

Shaking her head, Mars bowed. "Well, arigatou anyway. You saved my life."

The man smirked. "You don't know who I am, do you?"

Mars was clueless. "Am I supposed?"

He began to float, to Mars' shock. "Who are you?" she asked.

"I'm Jadeite and I work for the Dark Kingdom."

Mars felt her heart stop. "The Dark Kingdom? How is that possible? Then why did you save me?"

"That's for me to know and you to never find out." He disappeared, leaving a very puzzled and somewhat distressed Mars.

Okay, so like I said, no romance, just confusion & suspense. Please RR
