A/N: Hey everyone! Thanks again for the wonderful reviews! It makes me so happy to see them :) Here's a new chap for you all to enjoy! I'll try to update again soon, but I can't say when, you'll just have to bear with me as I get through exams. I really hate studying... but hopefully I'll get a chance to update again/procrastinate in the next couple days! :) Please Review! xox
Their sixth kiss, they didn't even know happened between the two of them. It was just a regular October night and Sailor Moon was out fighting the evils of the Negaverse. Unfortunately, she had run into this dreadful ugly creature with dark energy alone in the park and she hadn't had a chance to call her Sailor Scouts for backup.
Sailor Moon dodged and rolled away from each attack as it came. She moved quickly and threw her tiara, but this creature was far too fast. What she had thought would be an easy job, was getting very difficult. The creature had barely on scratch on him while she was covered in dirt and scratches from dodging his attacks! She was getting very frustrated with the battle, all she really wanted to do was go home and sleep. She had had a long day at school, topped off with detention for being late (she had run into a minor creature on her way to school) and then an infuriating argument with Darien that had sent her storming off before she had even finished her chocolate milkshake! She just was not in the mood to fight.
Sailor Moon released her tiara again, but, once again, the creature moved quickly away from it. It always saw her attacks coming and jumped to the side before retaliating with its own. However, this time she didn't even see him release his dark energy attack until it was almost on her. She didn't have even a second to think and froze in her spot as she saw the dark energy getting closer and closer...
Suddenly, she felt a body hit hers and she was knocked to the ground inside a grove of trees several feet away. A large body covered hers with his arm supporting her head, which had prevented her from hitting it. Sailor Moon shifted slightly underneath his body and her eyes opened widely as she realized who her protector was.
"Tuxedo Mask," she whispered, lifting her arms off the ground slightly to touch him.
He turned his face to the side in order to look at her without realizing how close their bodies really were. In turning his head, he accidently grazed her lips with his own. The moment he felt their softness, he froze, staring at her through his mask. Sailor Moon's eyes widened as she felt his lips against hers. What seemed like forever passed as they both didn't move, but it was only seconds later when Tuxedo Mask leaned in slightly more, to press their lips more firmly together. Sailor Moon just wanted to melt right there.
Tuxedo Mask pulled away far too soon for Sailor Moon's taste and jumped off of her. He offered her a hand and pulled her up. "You have the power to defeat this evil, Sailor Moon," he told her, "You just need to believe in yourself, like I believe in you!"
Sailor Moon nodded and turned back to the battlefield, where the evil creature turned back from its work of destruction and pouted, "I thought you were dead!" he told her sadly.
"It will take a lot more than the likes of you to get rid of me!" Sailor Moon cried, taking a battle pose.
"We'll see!" the creature laughed, delighted that she was still playing with him.
However, this time, Sailor Moon was not playing around; she knew what to do. She stayed where she was until the creature delivered an attack and at that same moment, she threw her tiara and dodged his attack in one fluid motion. Her aim hit the mark perfectly and the creature dissolved into dust.
"Great job, Sailor Moon!" called Tuxedo Mask as he took off into the night.
Sailor Moon smiled after him, pleased with herself and with his attention. She sighed as she watched him dash off into the darkness, not knowing that they were both thinking the same thought… 'Is it me, or did that kiss seem very familiar somehow?'
