Mamoru looked into the snow-covered forest surrounding Rei's temple.

"I don't like the idea of her out there on her own. By now she could be a throw rug."

"Mamoru-san. Can't you think for even a second that she can handle herself?" Michiru asked.

"With all the trouble she caused me for two years? No way." Michiru giggled a little.

"Then again as the Princess she's caused plenty of trouble for the Senshi."

"You're not the one who lost consciousness to turn into someone else practically every other night."

"You lost me at the someone." A clump of snow fell right next to Mamoru. Making a tiny yip as it landed. Mamoru bent down and started brushing away the snow from a tiny black wolf pup head. The deep ocean blue eyes matched Mamoru's perfectly. The pup jumped up onto the porch and shook the remaining snow from it's coat. It's black coat shone like freshly polished onyx stones. Mamoru gently reached out to touch the tiny creature. It turned around and playfully nipped his fingertips. Mamoru knelt down near the pup as it started chasing it's tail. "Oh. How adorable." The pup stopped in mid spin and started sniffing the air. It's tail perked up to reveal itself to be a male pup. But he kept sniffing. "What's he doing?"

"I don't know." The pup set his nose on the ground and continued sniffing. He perked up his muzzle and howled.

"Part bloodhound or something?"

"I don't know." The pup pulled on Mamoru's sock and growled. "Alright alright I'm coming." But as Mamoru took a step forward the pup got in his way and started yipping. "What?" The pup grabbed an old dead leaf and put it on his back like a cape, picked up a stick in his mouth and gave it a throw. The end embedded itself into a tree's trunk like one of Tuxedo Kamen's roses. "You want me to transform?" The pup back flipped and yipped. His tongue hung from his mouth in joy.

Sailor Mars jumped out of the way of the Youma. The same Youma that had changed her Princess to a wolf. Venus and Jupiter trued to attack but the Youma's tail flicked them away. Uranus and Saturn tried to attack but the Youma made a strike at them. They both slipped as they landed and hit their heads on the hard concrete. Mars looked at her fallen Senshi. Everyone but herself and Tuxedo Kamen were out of commission. And the Youma had bitten his good arm.

"It's all on me. It's my job now." The Youma tried to strike Tuxedo Kamen but a silver flash grabbed the Youma by it's lip and clung. It knocked Tuxedo Kamen over but he wasn't hurt. A large silver she-wolf clawed at the Youma's fur and jumped away. Landing on all fours like a cat she snarled. The Youma's attention now on the snarling wolf. The sky-blue eyes refused to reveal any emotions save for anger and hatred. A small line glowed red on the wolf's foreleg. The exact same length that Usagi's arm had been bitten.

"Usagi?" Rei asked. More surprised than curious. THe wolf turned her head and snarled at Rei. The Youma moved to strike but a black wolf grabbed it's tail and pulled. Shoko came out of her hiding place and snarled in front of the wolf she believed was her mother. The black pup stood in front of Shoko and pawed the ground. Usagi jumped over the pups and pushed them away with her muzzle.

"Get into the forest," she barked. The black pup nodded and started pushing Shoko away. Usagi turned back to the Youma and snarled. The hairs on her back stood on end in annoyance. She walked around and jumped on top of it's head and grabbed a mouthful of fur in her powerful jaws. The Youma tried to shake her off but the black wolf barked and bit at it.

Usagi soon gave up trying to find a weak spot and jumped off. She stood beside the black wolf and snarled. The Youma snarled back before disappearing. Usagi looked the wolf over. His chest and forepaws were white as snow. the rest of him was black. Deep ocean blue eyes looked at her kindly. Shoko and the other pup came from the forest and started jumping on Usagi. She nuzzled the silver pup's muzzle and licked the black pup's nose.

"Who would you be little one?" she asked as she sniffed him.

"Kuro. I have no other name." Usagi looked at the black wolf beside her.

"And you?"

"You know me already. Usako."
