"Now Sailor Moon!" Tuxedo Kamen screamed. Sailor Moon nodded, pulled out her moon wand and moondusted the youma. 'That was hard,' she thought. 'I need to find the other senshi as soon as possible. The youma get stronger with every day.' The deep voice of the masked man ripped her out of her thoughts. "You fought well tonight, Sailor Moon." She blushed a little and lowered her eyes. "Thank you Tuxedo Kamen and thank you for helping me again." "You're welcome," he answered andprepared to leave. "Please wait!" Sailor Moon shouted and he turned around to face her again.
"Tuxedo Kamen," the senshi began, "every time I need your help you are there. You save me whenever I'm in danger. Why? You don't even know me." "True," he answered and stepped closer. "I can't tell you why. It's just something I haveto do." The mysterious man looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't help but smile when he saw the confused expression on her face. "You see, every time you transform I can feel it and then I'm drawn to you like a moth is drawn to the light," he explained. "That's how I can always find you and the location where the battle takes place." "You mean we are connected to each other somehow?" Sailor Moon asked surprised. "I guess that's the only explanation. But I can't tell you if it is a soul bond, destiny or something completely different," Tuxedo Kamen said mysteriously. "Then we are friends?" the senshi asked with hope in her voice. "We might be," he replied thoughtfully. "But since we are looking for the same thing we might as well be enemies." When the masked man looked into her sad ocean blue eyes he laid his hands softly on her small shoulders and sighed. "There are so many questions both of us have to answer and I'm sure that time will show if our lives and souls are connected by some string of destiny." With that he smiled one last time at the senshi and disappeared into the night.
Sailor Moon sighed and looked up into the night sky. 'Oh Kami, please let us be friends fighting for the same thing. Please, if there really is one, don't ever cut this string of destiny connecting our hearts, souls and lives.'
