Chapter 3

However, her fall had been halted as a pair of strong arms held her firmly in place. She turned her body connecting with the owner of the arms. Tears flowing like twin rivers down her cheeks in waves.

"Shh...take your time, calm down its alright..." she heard an all to fimular voice fill her ears as the arms continued to hold her tightly.

"Hobson-san...why?" she asked, but even then she didn't quite know what to think.

"Because, I can't let you do this, your too important, not as a princess, but as a person. Gary replied as he stroked her hair and rubbed her back in soothing circles before picking her up and placing her back in her wheelchair.

"Demo, I..." she started but found herself in exactly what to say. This conversation this predicument, the entire thing had left her completely off guard and completely speachless. She bit her lip in deep thought not sure if she could say anything to him at all. "Hobson-san I'm sorry." was all she could say to him her thoughts, protests, her will, completely causing her brain to nearly quite litarly freeze.

"Don't say anything, and don't be sory. I'm here for yo if you need to talk. Dispite what powers you may hold, dispite what your title claims you to be, you are still a human and have feelings.

"I know... demo..." her brain had frozen again, her mind racing. :How can I go on like this, I'm looking at the biggest let down of my life. I can't let my heart continue to rule my actions.: she thought...but dispite what she thought her heart was slowly but surly claiming control of her body.

"I think you just need some rest." Gary suggested, "let me take you back to your hotel and you can get some sleep.

Kayla nodded at this thought her mind already racing with a lot of things, things she didn't know where to start. Gary seemed different then most of the people that she had known, but in the back of her mind it was way too soon for her to start or do anything. She must continue to fight her heart just a little longer, but as time went on, she doubted she'd be able to.

"Do you need anything? Did you want me to stay...?" Gary asked.

"No, nothing... I'll be just fine. I know...I'll be fine. You don't have to stay, I'm quite capable of taking care of myself." Kayla explained trying to fight the urge to snap. It would do no good to push Gary away just yet.

"If your sure...Here is my number if you need anything." Gary stated as he recited a number which kayla took down.

"Gary...wait..." Kayla caled as he started to leave.

"I just wanted to say thank you for saving me." Kayla replied trying to think of something to say. "I'm so sorry too because I've been unfair keeping you in the dark so much, but I had too. However, things may take a grave turn and I may need you again. If yo will help me..

"What can I do to help? Gary asked a bit confused.

Kayla closed her eyes a moment her head down as she regarded the dision she was about to make. "I'll infuse you with memory of me and my family, and my past. This also will grant you the seal of the protection of my family. This may hurt a little, and once I've finished the process can't be undone." Kayla announced.

"But...why?" Gary asked.

"Because, I trust you... and for this to work, You must be willing to do the same."

He nodded and Kayla began. Taking his hands in her own her moon mark flashed on her forehead shining its light to Gary. As this light hit images of the time on the moon up til now flashed through his head. When they stopped Gary fainted from the stress as did kayla, but Gary being who he is, recovered a lot quicker.

Upon waking up he looked down at Kayla who slept slumped half siting half lying on the edge of the king sized bed. Effortlessly, he picked up the slumbering girl and placed her under the sheets.

Watching her sleep he couldn't help but smile. What was it about this girl that made him feel this way...? When this all over wouldn't she return home never to see him again? If so why did he want to put himself through this torture? Resolving himself to his fate, he headed back to the bar not ever expecting to see the young lady again.

However, little did Gary know his life was about to take another unexpected turn. He had lost the paper upon his rescue of Kayla that afternoon, but that was not would bring him back into his life once again. "Gary a message came for you while you were out." Merissa, one of his co-workers and his best friend informed when she recognized his footsteps entering the office.

"Oh, who from?" Gary froze on the spot a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach telling him that he really didn't want to hear the answer to his question.

"A woman, I think it was.." Merissa started and as she spoke Gary's face drained of all of its color. "Bergatti..."

Gary sighed in slight relief at this news, his stomach had stopped for a moment doing flip flops. "What did she want?" he asked with a hint of angar, maybe more then he had intended but it was still there.

"It was concerning some princess. She told me that you had better not screw this up, and that you are to be her escort at some ball." Merissa stated and got a bit worried when Gary's breathing seemed to change. "Are you ok? Is there anything I can do ?" she asked a look of pure concern framing her features.

"This is something I have to do on my own." Gary stated "but, I'm glad your concerned. Gary said but his voice showed a lot emotion that he had really wanted.

"Are you sure?" Merissa asked not all that convinced.

"I'm going upstairs." Gary said totally avoiding the question as he headed up to his loft. He sighed his mind racing. All of Kayla's memories flowed through him and he didn't quite know what to do, and now, he had to face her again. Could he face, her did she hate him? Thoughts like this and more raced through his mind as he prepared to pick up the girl again. He had only hopped she'd gotten some sleep.

He sighed once again standing out of her hotel room door. Knocking softly he waited for a respoance, expecting not to get one, or expecting a rude welcome. "Hobson-san..." Kayla said from the other side of the door opening it a moment later her eyes half open, "What brings you back here so soon?"

"There is a party of some kind, that I think your expected to go to. And, I'd like to take you if your interested.

"I'm not the party type, but I have a feeling, that weather or not I want to I'll have to go." Kayla sighed flopping back on her bed with a resigned sigh. "Is that creepy woman going to be there?"

"I have a feeling that most likely yeah. But, I can't give you an honest answer on that. All I know is she called me and told me that you have to atend." Gary shrugged watching her expersion. Explained but from the tone of voice he used, he really didn't want to have to attend either.

She chewed her lip as if in deep thought before nodding, "come on in."

"The party is soon, I just thought you might like the heads up." Gary warned before asking her if he needed to take her shopping.

"Iie, I can manage. If what you're saying is true then its my best guess, that something big is going to happen." She sighed. "looks like I'll have to transform for this one." she then groaned at the thought of how short her skirt would be, but sighed at the fact it was still considered apporite for such an event.

:Kami-sami why now oh, kami...: she thought with a deep feeling of dread. "We had best get ready for this thing then ne?"

Gary nodded as he asked the question that had been eating at his mind, well, one of them any way, "what did you mean by transform?"

"I'd better get this over with. "Lunar Prisim power... make... up..." She shouted half-heartedly.

Gary had to cover his eyes as flashes of gold and silver flew from a charm around her neck incasing the young woman. The colors of light formed into ribbions that formed a part of clothing as it made contact with her skin. Standing on her feat, her weight leaning on the left more so then the right, she formed w a v with a now gloved hand across her eyes and forehead leaving a solid gold teria in its wake. "woa..." Gary gasped as she stroke a final pose. "you don't do anything half way do you?"

"iie... " she answered him sadly. "I wish I had a lot more control of my powers and my senshi form, but I don't." She then slumped back on the bed sighing heavly one hand flying to her temples as she tried to will her oncoming headache away.

Gary couldn't help but blush a deep read at the sight before him. As she lie on her back, she failed to notice her legs simi spread appart, and most importantly her skirt riding up as high as it had showing what looked to be under garments when it fact it was just a leatard. However, the sight did effectively cause Gary to turn crimson at the thought.

"Now to work on you..." Kayla started.

"but... I have something." Gary offered.

"Iie, you have to look convincing, or that cop will well, kill you. Kayla reminded him.

"Oh, yeah, I had forgotten." Gary sighed.

Kayla closed her eyes her teria giving way to the crescent mark a moment. In a flash the clothes Gary had on had changed. He now had on an armor like suit with the moon embroyedered on each side of the shoulder, and what appeared a holster strap of some kind going down his chest. The armor it self was a black trimmed with a bit of white-silver color to it. The body of chores being black.

Gary blinked at his appearance in the mirror, not believing what he had just done himself. His mind to say the least was racing with many a thought. One of the most important being, "how.." But he just settled for the standard "whoa..."

"Now you look like you're from my kingdom." Kayla explained to the stuned Gary.

Knowing she couldn't put off the trip any longer, she stood wobbling from side to side as she tried to gain a since of balance. Gary noticed this and wondered why she just didn't climb back into her wheelchair, but then his memory kicked in. He bit his lip knowing that what kayla planned on doing wasn't such a good idea, but then at the same time knew when to keep his mouth shut.

"Shall we go?" Gary asked bowing to her as he offered her his arm. Thankfully the ball of sorts wasn't that far away.

"We shall, my good knight." she laughed at the thought, but in her heart she didn't think it to be all that silly of an idea.

Without another word the two left the hotel and headed for the big ball. Gary had a feeling that the jewel theives might strike, but he couldn't bring himself to tell kayla. He was starting to think how much he wished that she'd never leave him, but that wasn't even a good dream.

Had it really be that long? Gary had to wonder as he escorted Kayla to the large party. Neither of them were really in the mood for such an event, but then again, neither had that much of a choice. Upon arriving things had looked and started as Gary had expected.

Kayla had sighed becoming intently board. Her mind couldn't stay focus on one thing at a time. People often talked of the jewel, about how important she was, and more over just tried to start up small talk with the young princess. Kayla just simply gritted her teeth smiled, and did her best to pretend she was any where but there. In an intent all light vanished and people started to scream and panic. "Kayla!" Gary called failing to use the title of tsuki-hime."

"I'm fine Hobson-san, she called back, but as she spoke those words her own world had started to go black. A figure had struck her effectively causing her to faint. Kayla's first thought was to scream but no sound flowed from her slightly parted lips. She didn't even feel the arms that stopped her from hitting the floor.

Her transformation flickered once or twice before it had vanished leaving her clad in little more then a shirt that reached her knees. Her hair had fallen from its pony-tail "freeze police" the female cop announced reveling herself to the crowed of people that had gathered around the limp figure.

Everyone gasped as she told of her under cover plans, and how she had been lying about who she including Hobson's freak involvement. What they didn't know, Kayla could faintly hear everything as her brain tried to regain control.

"Hobson-san, please tell me this is all some joke?" she pleaded, her eyes brimming with unshed emotion.

"I'm so sorry, but Toni is right." Gary confirmed the cops story to be true.

"I knew it! Your just like everyone else! You only care about my title and not me!" Kayla snapped as she forced her way out of the ball room not aware of the drug flowing through her vains.

"kayla... I... " Gary called after her, but the girl simply didn't even listen.

"You have really gone and done it now Hobson..." Toni informed him as she took who she thought was the Jewel thief to the police station for questioning.

Gary sighed to himself walking back home. Part of him wanted to chase after Kayla, to make things right, but another just wanted to let her go, and forget about her ever entering his life. Yet, he couldn't stop the content ringing in his ears. Her words so harsh, so cold, but as Gary thought, so true.

:Now, you have really gone and done it Hobson.: Gary's mind argued with him. :How can you let that girl get away: Gary thought knowing his mind wouldn't rest until he had made it right with her.

Turning on his heal, he made a mad dash for the hotel where Kayla had stayed praying against anything he would find her there, but by the time he had arrived, he realized she left him behind left angry with him.
