Changing

A/N: Well, I don't really know how to start this out. This used to be a supposedly ongoing story. But honestly, I like this where it is. To the Anon Angel who originally reviewed this encouraging me to continue, unfortunately-this story would lose so much if I continued. Anyway, for the newbies, hope you guys like it! Please Review!

. . .

I don't know what brings me to do it. I really don't. If I really have to guess, I will have to assume it is because of Kunzite. His methods of achieving the Silver crystal are truly heinous. Killing innocent people may be entertaining, but it is unnecessary. It is a waste of time and we have none to waste. Beryl told me that the awakening of our ruler was coming soon and we need the Crystal as soon as possible. So I guess it is also her fault for me sweeping Sailor Moon out of the way of the damned youmas Kunzite created.

I also blame them for the way she looka at me when we landed. Like we were lovers. I shudder at the look she gives me. "Tuxedo Kamen-sama! You rescued me!" Her eyes glitter with hope as I usher her around the rink.

I try to keep a steady face as I plaster my arm to her side. My hand fit right in the crook of her hip, like it belongs there. Behind my mask, I glance at her, trying to determine where my crazy thoughts came from. I blink and ignore her crystal blue eyes that look as if they know everything about me. "Do not misunderstand. It's simply I don't like the way they fight.

Bringing innocent by-standers into this." I pause, feeling something warm swell inside of me. I shove the feeling away. "But don't worry; I will be back for the Silver Crystal."

I heard the blonde whimper and I smile. I feel the eyes of the youma as we come back around and they shoot daggers at me with their eyes. "We don't need you, Endymion-sama. You're in our way," They call in unison. My smile broadens. "We won't hold back just because you're here to save your princess."

Their words cause my heart to plummet. I try to ignore the last half of their statement as I glance casually at the duo. "Do you really think you two can win a fight against me?" I challenge them with a smirk. They are some of the weakest Kunzite has ever called to battle. Their stupid love causes them to be weak. My immunity of love allows me to be strong—unlike them.

"Do you really want to taunt them?" Sailor Moon asks, growing nervous and clinging to me for dear life. I feel her arms tighten around me and she looks up at me with sheer terror shining in her eyes. Taken aback, I lose my footing on the ice, but only for a moment. She digs her fingers into my side and my own hand pulls her closer. I hear both her and myself gasp and my vision blurs.

I pull someone closer to my body lovingly and kiss her forehead. "I'll love you forever, Serenity," I mutter as she looks up to capture my lips in a kiss. I take in her long blonde hair and crystal blue eyes before returning her kiss with all my being.

I'm broken out of my spell by the youmas' laughter. "We'll show you two how Gold Medalists Skate!" They spin together and jump up. "Double Spin Kick!" They call as they head toward Sailor Moon and myself.

"Jump," I hear myself telling the blonde in my arms. There's a number of ways for just me avoiding the duo and leaving her to the damage, but for some odd reason, I can't bring myself to do so.

She tenses in my arms and I move my eyes so I can see her fully. She's dead terrified and I can feel my heart sink just watching her be terrified. "Jump," I repeat, trying to have my words sink in. It's the only way she and I can both evade injury. She just continues to look at me, hoping I didn't just tell her to jump. I know for a fact she can skate, she just can't think long and hard about it like she has been. Just moments before we are both shredded, I lift her up and throw her into the air. I hear her squeal and I feel my heart plummet and it doesn't revert back to its respective place until I see her feet touch the ice and she's gliding across it.

"I'm skating!" She exclaims, her eyes dazzling and a broad smile gracing her face. "I can't believe it!" I smile in spite of myself, my mind faltering at my antics. I am supposed to hate her. It makes no sense whatsoever. As I watch the bubbly blonde, I my eyesight fades out and the world around me disappears.

"Watch where you're throwing, Odango-Atama! I'm not a trashcan!" I call teasingly at the blonde in front of me. I laugh as her cheeks flush and she turns around to face me.

"My name is Usagi! U-Sa-Gee!" She fumes. "Get it right Mamoru-baka!" Her words are venomous but her tone smiles at me in a teasing way. She's flirting and she knows it.

I shake out of my vision just in time to see the youmas retaliate. They charge at her and her eyes widen in horror. "Jump! Really high, this time!" I shout, the visions I witnessed earlier telling me to protect Sailor Moon with all that I have.

The blonde shoots daggers at me with her eyes. "Easy for you to say," she spits. She's about to continue when she sees the enemies advancing on her. Taking a deep breath, she bends her knees and grits her teeth. "To hell with it," I hear her mutter before launching herself well above her impending doom. When she lands, her eyes are star struck and she clasps, "I jumped all by myself! I am so awesome!"

I skate toward her, my muscles burning slightly from staying on the ice for so long. "Good job, Sailor Moon!" I call, skating across from her. She blushes and responds with a thanks as we continue to glide.

Suddenly, with both of us not paying attention to our surroundings, the youmas come up behind us, taking advantage of our oblivion. "Sit Spin Kick!" they shout as their skates make contact with either one of us. We're both thrown across the rink, both of our bodied collapsing next to each other. My breath sounds like a shudder and hers doesn't sound any better. "Prepare to die!" They yell, baring their elbow blades. I prepare for the worst as I close my eyes.

"Supreme Thunder!" A voice calls out. The youmas are immediately enveloped in lightening and crashing to the ice before they hit us. The green senshi—Sailor Jupiter, I believe—lands in front of us. "Coach, please go back to who you once were!" She pleads. She has a crush on the male, I can tell. I have a strong urge to roll my eyes, but don't bother because of how weak I've become somehow.

The female of the duo is about to spit something back at her when a clash of heels thunders across the rink. I look up to see all of Sailor Moon's entourage. "Minna!" she calls happily. I smirk slightly, but cannot put all of my dislike into it for something is changing in me. It's too soon to tell, bet it is occurring. Now she has all her friends, she doesn't need me anymore to protect her. I start to inch away from her and make my escape.

"So the Sailor Scouts came to the rescue," A voice booms above me. I stop. Kunzite. I look up in horror to see him floating above us. He spots me an laughs, "I pity you, Endymion. If you weren't busy defending your princess, I would have retrieved the crystal and not have to had to do this." I raise an eyebrow, but say nothing. With a flick of his wrist, cold air starts to pour out of the air vents. Freezing cold air. I flinch and I hear everybody else start to chatter their teeth. "This icy hell contains subzero temperatures. I'll be back when you all are frozen to retrieve the Silver Crystal."

As soon as he came, he leaves us to die. I watch the girls shiver uncontrollably and the youmas clinging to each other. "Damn you, Kunzite!" I mutter, clutching my own arms in the cold. I hear the shivers of Sailor Moon and my gut jumps.

"Endymion," she whispers. "I'm so cold,," she whimpers as she closes her eyes. I smile at her and remove my jacket, despite the cold temperature. I drape it around her shoulders and envelop her in my arms. I lean down and kiss her forehead as she closes her eyes and falls asleep.

As I try to shake off the newest vision, I spot the energy device in the ceiling. One of the Dark Moon Kingdom's without a doubt. I try to raise my arm to bring out my staff, but my cape causes too much restrictions. I unclasp it from my jacket and am able to toss it the few feet to Sailor Moon. She pulls it over her shoulders without question and looks over at me, a soft blush invading her cheeks. Whether it is caused by me or the cold I don't really care, I'm just oddly comforted on how she's safer than before. Once she's enveloped in my cape, I take out my staff and throw it at the device. Upon impact it shatters and the air stops.

I feel warmth return to my limps and launch myself away from the group. I stop at the exit and watch as Sailor Moon completes her healing attack and the youmas return to their former lover selves. I smile as Sailor Moon cheers at her accomplishment and walk away. I'll return to Beryl, just as always. I'll return and promise her next time I'll get the Silver Crystal next time. But it's a lie. Something inside of me is changing. And it's all because of Sailor Moon.
