Together At Last
Chapter Four
By Buni Of The Moon

Chapter Four

The nega-creature emerged from its shadowy corner and revealed a tightly clenched Serena. Her eyes were wide with fear as the shadow crept silently across the floor. "Put her down." Tuxedo Mask said calmly, although he could feel his heart pounding inside his chest. "Put her down, and no-one will get hurt." He added, his voice trembling slightly. He was supposed to be the hero. Why was he just standing there, watching her being absorbed into the darkness? Why wouldn't his legs move? He looked down and saw shadows crawling around his feet. He jumped back falling over himself. 'Shit' he thought, 'We're in trouble now.'

Bang!!!

"Mars Fire Ignite!"

"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"

"Mercury Bubbles Blast!"

"Jupiter Lightning Crash!"

He turned around quickly to see his door fly open and the four Scouts step in, firing their powers. He glanced down at his feet and saw the shadows retreat. He looked up at Serena and saw her fall to her knees as the shadow creature was engulfed in flames, bubbles, energy and lightning. The only thing that seemed to affect the creature was the fire. Not the burning of it, but the light.

"That's it!" he yelled, jumping to his feet. "Turn all the lights on, do it. NOW!" He and the Scouts ran round the apartment and switched on all the power they could find.

Mercury ran to the ceiling light switch and flicked it on. Venus ran to the bedside table, switching the lamp on. Mars blasted some fire into the open fire place, creating a wood fire. Jupiter ran to the fridge and opened the door.

"The fridge Jupiter?" asked Mars looking chuffed at the roaring fire now blazing in the fireplace. Jupiter shrugged her shoulders and ran to stand next to Mars.

The shadow creature began to shrivel from the light and soon became a blob no bigger than their hands. With one last blast from Mars' fingers, the nega-creature turned to dust, floated out the open window, which slammed itself shut when the breeze had gone.

Out of breath the Scouts and Tuxedo Mask stood for a moment in the brightly lit room. They then noticed the heap on the floor which was Serena.

"Serena!" yelled Venus, running over to her and lifting her hand. "There's a pulse, but her energy's been drained."

"That's what happened last time." said Tuxedo Mask, regaining his posture. "She just kinda, fainted." He looked around at the Scouts, wondering if they knew his true identity.

"How did she get here?" said Mercury, asking the question she knew was in all her fellow Scouts' heads.

"Well, she was outside and got attacked before and I…er…brought her back here. I didn't know where else to take her." He said defending himself.

Venus nodded her head approvingly and lifted Serena onto her back. "I guess you know who she is then?" she asked him wisely.

"Yeah, I guess I worked it out from those meatballs of hers." He said fondly.

Mars raised an eyebrow, but quickly lowered it when he caught her gaze. "We best get her home. Hopefully her family won't notice she's gone."

Without another word the Scouts left, Serena on Venus' back, and were gone. Tuxedo Mask walked over to the kitchen table where the mug of hot chocolate was still warm. He smiled, poured the drinks down the sink and thought of the eventful night he had just had. 'Wow' he thought to himself, 'I snogged Sailor Moon!'

Walking down the familiar streets Raye recognised something. "Hey, wasn't that Darien's apartment?" she said looking at her fellow Scouts.

"How do we know?" asked Mina bitterly, "We never dated him!"

"Well, it wasn't really a date was it?" added Lita, with a smirk on her face. "I mean u guys didn't even kiss. I don't even reckon he knew he was on a date! Owwwwww!" Lita rubbed her head from the stone Raye had just thrown at it. "I was just saying-"

"Well don't, OK?" Raye said sternly.

"Hey guys, stop the arguing for once" said a groggy voice from behind Mina. They all stopped and ran round to the fidgeting Serena.

"What happened?"

"Why were you outside?"

"It's really dangerous to go out alone, you know that."

"More importantly, why were you at Darien's?"

"Raye, we don't know it was Darien's, Dumbass."

"It so was."

"We don't know."

"Whatever." Raye stuck her tongue out at Jupiter.

"So what did Tuxedo Mask say?"

"Did he take off his cape for you?" said Mina, winking.

"Mina!" yelled Mars, Jupiter and Mercury in unison. Mercury rolled her eyes.

"I'm more interested in those shadow things, what do you reckon they were?"

Serena held up her hand to silence everyone, and it surprisingly seemed to work. "Guy's, I'm tired. I've had a long night and I just want to go to bed. I'll tell you all about it in the morning." She started to walk again and the Scouts obediently followed.

They arrived back at Serena's house and pulled her over the fence as most of her energy had been drained. They tucked her up in bed and climbed out the window closing it behind them.

A few seconds later Amy clambered back in and turned the bedside lamp on. She smiled and whispered, "No more monsters for you tonight, Sailor Moon." With those words she shut the window behind her and joined the other Scouts on their journey home.

"Sweet dreams Serena" said a warm voice from the tree outside her window. "I'll be watching over you." Tuxedo Mask wrapped his cape around him sat on a branch, watching her sleep.
