Tuxedo Mask was out looking, but he didn't know exactly what for. As he raced from rooftop to rooftop, he thought about his crazy obsession with Autumn. Why do I feel like I'm supposed to care for her? I don't know her!! Then he thought back to the girl with bright green eyes that was with Amara and Michelle earlier that day. For some reason, when she had looked at him, he had felt a zap of energy so strong that he had stopped breathing. Something was obviously wrong with him. Am I trying to betray Serena? NO! I love her. She is my princess and future queen. Surely this is just me overreacting, right?

Little did he know, but just a few feet back Sailor Moon was following and actually being quiet. She didn't like the thought of him looking for some girl that he obviously had some sort of attraction to.

This is the Earth's lullaby

This is the Earth's lullaby

What is that song? Tuxedo thought. He had come out of his deep thought to the sound of a beautiful song, one that he had heard before. When have I heard it before? Suddenly, the song changed into a beautiful trill.

Tralalalalaaaalaaaalaaa

Laaaalalalalalalaaaa

With each syllable Tuxedo moved closer to what he assumed was the source. Crouching down and staying in the shadows, he let his eyes move around the rooftop where the singing was loudest. With a start, he saw a slip of a girl standing on the edge with her arms outstretched towards him. Then, she started singing a new song; her bright green eyes the only thing that he could make out in the dark of the night.

Break free of your chains love

Draw closer to me

Open your secrets

Let me see

It's time now to end this

The pain that you feel

By showing you that your deep pain is real

I am here

I am here and always have been

You are there, finally unlocked from within

My heart has found yours

So don't deny that we are together

Until the end of time

Tuxedo inhaled quickly when he noticed the girl turn and face the edge of the rooftop. She seemed about to move and he quickly leapt to her rescue. Before he could grab her, he was knocked to the ground. His assailant stepped on his wrists and kept him from reaching for weapons. Looking up, he was shocked to see Sailor Uranus.

"Leave off, Tux boy," she stated in a very calm and direct threat.

"I don't understand," he responded. "What did I do wrong?"

"Nobody is touching that girl, not even you. Only Sailor Neptune and I will go near her. Understood?"

"What are you doing, Uranus?" Sailor Moon cried as she suddenly flung herself from the shadows at Tuxedo Mask. "He was trying to save your friend. Why did you attack him?"

"I didn't attack him, chit. I stopped him from bothering her." Uranus replied.

"Why?"

"She was sleep walking, Sailor Moon. It is a known fact that you should not disturb one in the throes of a deep sleep. What was happening was all a part of her inner conscious," Neptune said softly and she gently nudged Kisha towards the rooftop door.

Seeing that Kisha was headed back to her bed, Uranus stepped away from Tuxedo Mask. "You should leave," she said, following behind her charge. "There's nothing here for you to worry about."

"Who is she, Neptune?" Sailor Moon inquired.

"She's a friend, Sailor Moon, a very precious friend. Maybe you can meet her sometime, when she's not sleepwalking off of a roof." With a smile, she also turned to follow Kisha inside.

"Sailor Moon," Tuxedo Mask said softly.



"She was singing to you," Sailor Moon pointedly responded." Who is she? Do you know? You have to be honest with me."

"I really have never met her. I would have remembered her if I had," Tuxedo Mask replied.

"Of course, she's too beautiful to forget." Sailor Moon spat. Then, in her true nature, her face crumpled and a tear slid down her cheek. "I'm sorry. I don't know why I'm so jealous."

"It's alright, my gorgeous princess." Tuxedo Mask pulled her into his embrace and rubbed her back comfortingly. "You have every right to be upset. She was singing a love song and holding her arms out to me. But, you have to know that we can't understand what she was seeing in her mind. She could have been singing about her love, a man that we don't know."

"You're right," Sailor Moon whispered. "I shouldn't despise her. She seems really lost and alone."

"Did her voice sound familiar to you? It did to me, but I can't place it," Tuxedo stated.

"Yes, it did! I thought she sounded so lovely, almost more amazing than that singer that you were looking for."

Tuxedo Mask stepped back and looked down at Sailor Moon in surprise. "I think that we just found our missing performer."

Red eyes, red, red eyes were staring at her. Then a hand reached out and grabbed for something, right over her shoulder. A girl's scream sounded right behind her and Kisha started screaming as well, because she didn't know what else to do.

All of a sudden she was back in reality. Michelle was gently shaking her and looking down at her with a frown. "Kisha, are you okay?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I have the most terrible dreams." Kisha cried as she covered her face with her hands.

"Well maybe there is an explanation for it. Did you know that you sleep walk?"

"No." Kisha responded. "I do?"

"Well, you did not too long ago," Amara chimed in as she set a cup of steaming tea in front of the frightened woman. "It's nothing to worry about. Michelle and I are light sleepers. We'll keep an eye out for you."

"I'm terribly sorry. I really don't want to be a burden."

"You are not a burden, Kisha," Michelle replied.

"Absolutely not," Amara agreed. "It's nice to have another person around."



"Thank you. Please, don't stay up because of me," Kisha said as she picked the tea up.

"Well, if you would like, I'll bring some music up for you to sleep to," Michelle offered.

"That would be great."

A little while later, Kisha laid back against her pillow and let the sound of music drift over her. It was going to be so easy to get used to have friends. She just hoped that she never had to give them up and that, some day, she'd be able to repay them for all that they had done. Also, she hoped that her nightmares were only dreams because it seemed that Amara and Michelle would die if they were not.
