The battle was won by the senshi. It was just a typical youma attacking innocent civilians, stealing their energy. The senshi were worn out and ready to sleep, hoping they wouldn't sleep through their alarm clocks the next morning. Sailor Moon decided to stay back after the others bid her good-bye to make sure the youma was truly gone. It was her job to keep the peace. To relook areas that they might have missed. To evaluate the moon dust that was left of the youma.
While she was about to de-henshin, the atmosphere wavered and his rosy scent filled her nostrils. Without turning around she acknowledged his presence. "Tuxedo Kamen, I just have this feeling that you are worthy of my trust, but my senshi think otherwise…."
Surprised that she knew he was approaching her, he paused for a moment to collect his thoughts.
"I feel the same, Sailor Moon, but our goals conflict. It would be an unwise decision to be allies."
He heard a sigh escape from her lips, and the overwhelming feeling to wrap his arms around the strong senshi flooded his senses. It was strange, how this young girl could conjure such emotions within him.
