SuperNova (Guest): I have been trying to integrate more Japanese with the English but if it really throws you that far off let me know and I'll reduce it a bit. The grammer bit, sadly its just me and 'Shaydoe' going through it so there has never been a 'beta' to go over it once were done adding bits and pieces to it. That is unless your offering and can ensure we get a ch/ep out once a week.

AimlesslyGera: on the story line, not follow it completely but still do my take on it. Add more love scenes in there. As for Motoki I kind really want to have a side story (not in this) but a side story of Motoki falling in love with her and she's torn between him and Mamo. But that's a whole other bit.

Sailor Moon S 'Rise of the Messiah' ch.2

Once things seemed to have settled over the loving couple Usagi and Owen turned in their project early, surprising the teacher more than anything. Gaining a B+ for their efforts as well as the prominent history they gained, Usagi was ecstatic. Giving Owen who was standing beside her at the teacher's desk to receive the grade, a huge hug of thanks. The young man embraced her back, his hands innocently crossing behind her back. Enjoying the feel of her against him, the lovely soft scent of her hair near his nose.

Chuckling, as his face heated up but as quickly as the moment began to him it ended. Mako and Ami ducked their heads into the class room as the afternoon bell rang, she instantly pulled away from him and darted out the door after her friends. Leaving him frustrated and cursing her friend's unwelcomed intervention. Mamoru's classes on Wednesday's were not ending till five in the evening, so a few days out of the week she still took the bus to Sindai Hill with her friends, or walked home.

("So Usagi – chan I heard that you really scored on your history project with Owen – chan!" Naru popped up behind me as we were now walking past the school grounds, "Yeah I'm so happy. It's a great start to recouping my lost weeks. Being sick wasn't fun." I was very thankful the girls had come up with a cover story for my school absence. "It had me scared for a while, I was so glad when you got back." Naru replied, equally happy. "I bet Mamoru – san is to." She stated slyly.

"Hai…he's happy I'm back. I know it was difficult with me being away like that, and being unable to help." I agreed back. "So how are things in 'love land' with you two?" Naru asked me. Her digging vicariously into my life very apparent.

I couldn't help but blush, "A lady reveals nothing." I teased. Naru laughed mildly, "Come on Usagi – chan, I don't want play by plays just, how things are. Give me a PG – 13 detailing." She asked convincingly to me.

"Things are going good, we've had a few dates since then, been over to his place for movies, it's been nice." The blush staining my cheeks spoke volumes though. "So you guys haven't done anything more than kiss, well that's good." I looked to her in a near glare, only to find her face with a particular angle on it, "So you have done more than kissed." I blushed a near crimson red at her calculated statements that had led me blindly into revealing the truth.)

Oh kami, it was a trick! Damn sometimes Naru you can be as sneaky as a Dark Kingdom General. I can understand a bit more now how easily you and Nephrite had hit it off.

(Naru then cornered me against a brick alcove near a building, "So how far have you two gone?" I gave a weak smile, not wanting to give her every detail, "Well…we do kiss…a lot…we talk a lot…" I was starting to feel interrogated, and by my first friend out here no less…besides the senshi that is, "Oh come on Usagi – chan you know you can trust me with anything." Now she looked reserved once again.)

How did that work out? It seems like it went from interrogation to guilt tripping. Oh Naru – chan…Umino – chan has really worn off on you hasn't he? You're a little gossip monger now...hunting for dirty little bits.

Usagi gave in and replied, "We enjoy each-others company." Naru, looked closer, "Wait…!" she pressed further. Closing in she asked in subtle tones, "Have you guys…" she made a weird gesture with her hands that Usagi took as sex. Swallowing her nervous reaction she waved hers hands in a 'no' form. Hoping the red head would take it as 'no were not sleeping together' instead of the 'none of your business' part.

("Okay, I'm just looking out for you Usagi – chan. I know for a while you and that Di guy were hitting it off pretty well. I think I even saw you two at the park once or twice. He was all over you." Naru giggled. I gave a dead panned look, "We were just friends." I was stunned how people saw something between Di and myself when even I didn't see it. I guess I truly was innocent to his intentions when we first started to hang out. "Then Umino – chan told me about how he spotted you and Di sharing a heated kiss at Crown."

I seriously wanted to slap my forehead, "He saw that?" I asked, dreadfully. "Yep with that added to how he was touching you not so friendly at the park, I mean the way his hands were on your body, caressing you, touching your…" my face went red but not with blush, with anger. He had been doing that on purpose and I'm just now realizing it. "I naturally assumed you two were a couple." I was stunned. I was seriously stunned.)

How could I NOT have seen that?! No wonder Mamo – chan still has issues with it!

"Well he had to leave the country for business and Mamo – chan and I cleared things up and are back together. If anything I think were even closer than before." She smiled, thinking of all the ways they were closer, mind body and soul. "Demo, as a peak here…" Naru leaned in closer, "Promise not to tell anyone…" she agreed, "What you saw with Di and myself…" she nodded, "Mamo – chan and I are closer." She blushed herself a bit. "That's so sweet." they continued to walk as she came up on the edge of Azabu-Juban.

Once she bid Naru off Usagi continued to walk further out of Juban and into Minato-ku. The afternoon sun was starting it's decline into the tower's of the larger commercial district that hovered just beyond the residential homes she was entering. Finding a simple bus stop, she sat down on the wooden bench. Brushing down her school skirts and wiggling just a bit to get comfortable before flipping the top flap of her satchel open.

She pulled out her half of the grade score from history class and read it in more depth. 'B+ for significant detailing of the history as well as pointing out cultural references signifying the countries leaps and bounds throughout history'. She smiled with satisfaction as she read the scoring once more. It was the warm brush of air by her neck that spoke of another person encroaching upon her personal space. It had her reacting without thought, in a flash she had scooted to the far side of the bench.

Before she could say anything she found a short blonde haired young man, as he appeared to be, standing a bit befuddled by her sudden departure to the other end of the bench. Dressed nicely in a green suit jacket and plaid pants and tie, with warm sky blue eyes full of curiosity and mirth.

"Gomen, I couldn't help demo wonder nani you were staring so intently at." The blonde apologized, with a curt bow.

"Its fine, you just startled me." Usagi replied, feeling struck with uncommon knowledge that she once knew this man.

"Do I know you? You seem familiar to me? Do you visit Crown at all?" Usagi confronted the blonde, who in turn was looking at her strangely. Till he started to laugh, "No, I don't go there. Demo, I had just recently moved to this town so that could be why. Were you waiting for your boyfriend or something?" he asked, looking about for any vehicle coming to pick the young blonde up.

"No, the bus. It'll be here in a few minutes if you need a ride to." Usagi offered with a warm smile, patting the bench in welcome. The young man waved off, "Nah, I just got distracted." he shrugged, "That happens a lot to me." he acknowledged somewhat guiltily.

Taking one last look at her he reached out and tugged gently on Usagi's hair. The tail protested the action but not to painfully, "I've never seen hair in that style before...cool. Hopefully I'll see you around. Odango." He called playfully, flipping his leather bag over a shoulder as he sauntered away.

Usagi was stunned once again as the guy that seemed to have flirted with her quite charmingly, walked off without even introducing himself. So aloof and mysterious. She knew she felt something with him, though not sexual it was like a part of her knew him but couldn't place where she had met him before.

He wasn't evil, that was for sure. She'd have felt those negative waves of energy in an instant if he had been. Thanks to all that time with Diamond and her days on Nemesis she could pick out dark energy waves without conscious thought.

"Usako?" A deep smokey voice called her name, snapping her back from her contemplations. In such a fierce manner, once more her protective instinct had her nearly leaping on to the other side of the bench.

"Kami you startled me!" she stated, wondering when her guard got so weak that her own boyfriend could sneak up on her. Placing a hand to her heart that was now slamming into her chest, trying to catch her breath. As Mamoru walked briskly up to the bench. Dressed in his new T.A black suit and tie combo. Trying to look more like a professional, then a mere serious student walking about.

"You seemed distracted." He countered, wondering why he had caught her looking so intently at the retreating dusty blonde figure.

He looked himself spotting the young man, around his age walking away around the cement embankment. Then saw her somber expression looking back at the young man again, "Someone you know?" he knew it couldn't be from her school. That man was obviously in the last year of high school or first year of college. He was also wearing a strange uniform that Mamoru didn't completely recognize.

Neither of which Usagi was in. It made the dark haired man wonder. "Nani? No. I don't demo, I feel like I do. It's strange." The curiosity in her voice told him. She found this young man an elusive yet intriguing mystery. He fascinated her in a very uncertain way. A sense of de ja vu heavy in their first meeting.

"Were you busy?" Mamoru asked, breaking her thoughts once more. Already having a few ideas of where to take her for some private time. He knew she'd have to be home by dusk to avoid her parent's wrath and she had already spent several nights over at his place. He felt bad for her lying to her parents but at the same time it just felt right having her in his bed. Sleeping with her, the love making was also an excellent addition as well.

That added to the fact that he had trouble sleeping without her by his side kind of made him encourage her sleep overs. Waiting for the day she wouldn't have to go home…that his apartment would be home for her.

"Sure. What'd you have in mind?" she asked. The innocence in her voice had him smiling. "Oh!" she piped up, pulling her history grade out once more. "We got a B+ on our project!" she stated happily. He smiled back, "That's great…you know, I know the perfect place to celebrate."

Taking her hand he led her away from the bus bench wandering down several abandoned alleys and into a rundown neighborhood. A forgotten sub section of Minato the city had been neglecting for years. Most of the buildings were falling apart or being renovated as was seen with the bounds of construction in certain areas. He led her through a gap in a decaying wood fence, emerging into an over grown garden of weeds and broken glass.

"Oh Mamo – chan this is so exciting." She was barely able to contain herself. Taking in the old mansion with boarded in windows and rotting wood with a sense of adventure. While in very poor shape could still be livable if the proper work was done to it. He guided her past a faded broken gazebo, the hush surrounding the yard almost morbid.

Slipping in through a hole in the brick wall, caved in from time and ill repair. Pushing through the surrounding dry brush he lead her further into the shadows of the grande house. An air of excitement and danger had now surrounded the lover's as they trespassed upon this forgotten world. Pulling her forward by a hand, as she surveyed the decay inside. "Wow…with the right work this place could be beautiful again." She surmised, looking around.

"Hey are we allowed to be in here?" she asked now having entered the grand house, her gaze roaming around the once opulent walls and luxurious drapes now in tatter's upon the great windows. She was curious if they might get in trouble.

"Probably not demo, I thought you might like this." He gestured for her to come forward.

Walking with him he lead her to one of the rooms. Through a huge set of oak double doors, entering into what might have been a grande ball room at one point. With high arching ceilings, cracked and faded over time. The sunlight splintering in upon the white marble, marred with hair lined cracks. Once inside she found that while part of the wall was in decrepit decay the other half held what appeared to be a small rose bushes growing through it.

"Oh Mamo – chan their beautiful." Her voice a slight pitch higher from delight. Going forward she stated, bowing upon an elegant red bloom. "They smell wonderful to. And look the vines go all over the room." She pointed about, tracing the dark green creeping upon the walls, and up the support pillars around the room. Surveying the assortment of rose blossoms hanging like a natural tapestry all over the broken confines of the room.

The whole atmosphere here was so peaceful. Filled with the heady scent of flowers and lazy warmth of the sun. It was like the whole world had just faded away, leaving them blissfully alone with one another in this romantic setting.

Mamoru had plucked a very dark, very plumb rose from its spot upon a pillar, taking his time with the stem as he crossed through the narrow beams of sunlight. He dug out every last thorn with his fingernails, before gently placing it behind her ear.

She blushed at the sweetness of it, "They remind me of your roses." She gently touched the flower as she leaned up to kiss him. Meeting her half way he cupped her face in his hands, before one moved downward to the small of her back, to press her further into him. "This is the perfect ending to a great day." She whispered against his lips, her sweet blue eyes searching his with wonder. Admiring him, as he looked so handsome in the half light. With his dark hair falling charmingly over his deep blue eyes, now filled with yearning.

"It's not over yet. Of course that's entirely up to you." He stood back allowing only enough space to give her a chance to back out.

They had never made love in an unknown building. The rush of getting caught adrenalized them both. She smiled before crooking her finger in a come hither gesture towards him, "I think you might have some intimate intentions towards me my princess." He teased, walking forward, pinning her to the other wall with ease as she lowered her head and looked up at him with submissive, innocent eyes. "Who me…?" she stated coyly.

The risky venture of making love in a near public place, was sending nervous shivers through out them both. The excitement of it a tangible aura passing between them. Her shy submissive persona was merely a seductive ploy drawing him in ever deeper. Her subtle assertive attitude had him glued to her, as his aggressive nature stared to roar forth. Not yet kissing he held her gently but effectively pinned as his right hand started to creep down her school skirt.

"I think you might have a thing for the innocent school girl within me Mamo – chan." She giggled with a hint of desire in her voice while he smirked. "Hai, I believe I do…demo, only for you." He answered, finding the edge of her skirt and lifting it up.

Her breath hitched an inch as his fingers disappeared beneath her skirt and found purchase beneath her thongs. A little stunned he soon noticed something. They were the same ones he had felt that night in her room. Back when he was watching over her and had had to leave for fear of waking her. They hadn't been together at the time so she would have been scared witless at first having a man up there before she realized it was him. These were the same jeweled thongs he had felt that night.

Groaning at finally being able to feel them on her he dropped to his knees and flung her skirt over his head. "Mamo – chan!" Usagi gasped in surprise, holding his head demurely with her small hands folding into her skirts long pleats. He was being so bold and forthright with is intentions it was really turning her on. Feeling his head beneath her skirt as he pulled aside her thong and began a mind numbing process of driving her insane.

Darting her head about the room, noting that it was free and completely devoid of any human life anywhere about, only the call of birds greeted her unease. She calmed from the sudden danger of being on display. Slipping her hands up her shirt and beneath her bra.

Fondling her own breast she felt her nipple tighten before she switched to the other one. Small gasps came from her mouth as the pleasure mounted. Unknown to her, Mamoru was going crazy only hearing her sounds. He wanted to watch her face fall into bliss. Pulling her skirt back up, he held it to her stomach as he saw that she was fondling her own breasts. The sight made him hard, not as hard as tasting her had but still hard. "Oh kami Usako…" he stood back up as he lifted her off of her feet.

Her skirt still about her waist he slid himself between her legs as she slid her hand between them, "Please Mamo – chan…" she begged. Her hand fumbling with the zipper in her haste to free his manhood. He fumbled with procuring the condom from his wallet. Having known that when it came to both of them, he'd need to be in constant supply. Having bought several packs for the last few weeks he hoped he had enough to last till the end of the month.

Feeling him she pulled out his aching member before stroking him, enticing the flames higher within his as well as feeling the pre-cum on her fingers, sliding him about her hand even more effortlessly. He groaned, trying to tear the foil without tearing the condom as he went to put it on himself. Seeing her hand hold him long enough to help get it on before her hand, wet with his fluid went to her mouth.

His jaw dropped seeing her suck two of her fingers into her mouth, before leaving them fluid less other than her saliva. She leaned her head forward, then with saliva wet fingers putting them gently over his lips. Brushing them as she had her own mouth, opening them in preparation to kiss him. As her own lips parted eagerly. It wasn't a porn star look, not by any means. It was a brief opening that spoke of intense love and promise to the intended. She whispered against his lips, "Take me."

He could hold no longer. Surging within her, with all of their clothes still on, he pumped in deep sating strokes. They took her breath away as he held her pinned to the wall, his legs bent at the knee to aid in his pumping. Holding him close to her, one holding his head close to her breasts by his hair while the other one gripped his shoulders with a need to hang onto him in the tempest of their raging desire.

Oh kami!

Her mind screamed in pleasure. A reciprocating equal 'Usako!' Emanated from his half of the link they shared. "Mamo – chan!" she whimpered, biting her lip, trying not to scream. It seemed to be a near wasted effort as he sped up the pace of his thrusts, pushing her faster towards the edge of no return. "Oh! Right ther - " she started to say as he shifted her legs position, widening her legs further apart allowing him deeper access inside of her. It sent pleasure filled zings right through her.

For him he was in heaven. Her heat stroked against his own equally sensitive skin as he rubbed himself inside of her with a need to consume one another. To never let it end. The friction was unlike anything he'd ever felt before. Being with her for him was like being home, he never wanted to leave her. If it weren't for the growing need to sate both desires of reaching that plateau of ecstasy that only ever she had brought out in him.

There had never been any other women who had been able to garner this passion from him. This desire to hold onto till only death could separate them, and even then he knew they'd find one another again. No this was an eternal passion and love with the right amount of lust that told him this would never be truly sated. They would never tire or grow old of one another. The pleasure between them was incomparable and he didn't want any other besides her in his arms every night or too wake up to every morning.

But try as he might even the prince of earth had his limits and if he didn't bring her to orgasm soon he'd have to use what will power he had left to keep himself from coming before her. He could already feel her muscles starting to contract so in an effort to ensure she would be there first he looked about in a flash to find another wall or even a door to slam her into. Seeing an old door three feet from him he held on to her as he walked towards it.

She for her part, felt the burning need to feel him come with her. So in an effort to feel him she reached down with her left hand and slipped lower to massage his balls. He nearly tripped over his own feet when she did that. He grunted, "Usako, don't…" but it seemed his body wanted to come at her demands. Only a step away he shoved her hard against the door, briefly hearing her yelp out in mind numbing pleasure as he drove into her relentlessly.

Un able to stop and to far gone to care about stopping he gripped her hips in intent as he felt her release around him. Her scream of climax echoed around the room. Vibrating off the walls of the huge ball room, in an endless round. It made his mind go through the roof into a numbing pleasure as he continued to pump into her with long deep strokes that made him briefly wonder if he was hurting her.

With his force, they ended up literally knocking the door off its hinges. Falling to the ground Usagi grunted in pleasure from the impact during her release as he thrust twice more before yelling in pleasure himself.

Taking a few minutes to recuperate they both smiled towards each other with love and deep fondness. He touched her face with a shaky hand as she looked flushed and happy. "I love you Usako…" he breathed. She had a tender look on her face as she replied, "And I you Mamo – chan." He smiled in glee. Hearing strange rustling a few feet away they darted their heads over to find several curious looking kittens staring at them. Sitting primly just in the shadows of the doorway, a motley crew of fur and wide eyed innocence.

(Some were milling about but most had just stopped to stare. "I feel like I'm being watched." I stated playfully. Holding onto Mamo – chan we both looked about to see many full grown cats all over the place as well. I was starting to get creeped out by them just staring at us. "Well I hope they enjoyed the show as much as I enjoyed performing it." I looked to Mamo – chan's loving smirk.

Adjusting my arms more comfortably around his neck, as he held me up against the door. He didn't seem to care that we had essentially had a feline audience. I shook my head in laughter, "Oh Mamo – chan…" then I got the devil in my eyes.

"I wonder if you'd say the same thing if that feline aud - " he silenced me with a kiss, "Don't you dare bring up Luna or Artemis. Their alien cats, not normal ones at all. They don't count." He finished with stern look.

I started to laugh even more when his eyes darted to the lot of cats again just to ensure that they weren't there. He lightly slapped my bum to get me to stop, "Do that again and beware of the consequences." I stated, lust within my voice. His eye brow quirked up, "Oh?" he slapped it again, taunting me by striking just a little bit harder.

I gasped at the pleasure it evoked. I could feel him start to harden once more within me. "Kami I think were sex addicts!" I muttered in a light teasing tone. "Only where you're concerned." He responded, love in his eyes. Cupping his cheek I hooked my leg around his waist, pivoting on the balls of other foot braced upon the marble floor. I spun us off the door with my Senshi strength tripping him up and flipping him over.

Cats be damned I was horny for my man, we landed hard, my weight knocking the air out him briefly. But being a man of uncommon strength himself it didn't slow him down any. He was grinning foolishly beneath me, as I straddled his waist. Giggling with mischief. Hardly ever being on top his grin of surprise quickly turned towards need as I went to begin our second round. Positioning myself over him with the intent of impaling myself. When I heard the telltale groaning of a heavy door nearby opening and closing.

Effectively having killed off our sex drive, knowing we could be caught by construction workers had us both straightening ourselves out and peaking to see who it was. Turning around the corner we saw all the cats leave the room and surround a young girl barely 12 years old as she was feeding them. A small boned young thing, with redish brunette that fell to her shoulder's tied back with a red bow, with a very sweet face and warm brown eyes.

Wearing a deep orange skirt and lighter colored sweater over a frilly white blouse. She was cooing and calling to the cats as if each and every one was a treasured pet. Finding it sweet Mamo – chan and I both walked forward.

"You feed these cats regularly?" I asked sweetly, couching down beside her. Pulling my skirt down demurely.

She nodded, "Yeah, I really wish I could take them home with me demo, my parents can't afford to take care of a pet."

I nodded, it had been a fight to get my own parents to accept Luna. A few of the cats came up and surrounded myself as well as Mamo – chan. "I plan to try and take them to an animal shelter tomorrow after school. There's one only two miles from here. I just have to figure out how to transport them." She answered sadly.

Poor thing. She was really trying to do nice things for a bunch of felines that were homeless and in need of a loving family. "Maybe we could help." I look to Mamo – chan hopefully.

He nodded in agreement, "We'll come by tomorrow to give you some help. I can even bring my cat's carrier. It's big enough to fit at least two cats." I offered with a warm smile, that the little girl returned. Mama always felt I would over feed the cat with as much as I ate so she made sure to get a mobile cat unit big enough for two cats. Or a small dog. Not that Luna ever used it. The little girl smiled, "Arigato."

We stayed for a few more minutes before Mamo – chan noticed it was getting late. "Your right I need to get home." Standing up he and I left the girl to her feeding as we walked out.

Walking me home I stood outside as we watched the sun go down while sitting on the porch. I leaned back, not bothering to care that I was laying on cooling wood from the warm day. "I'm going to try and talk to mama about you coming over for dinner next week. I think our report cards get sent home then, and with my improvement we can slip it in with papa." He looked down at me thoughtfully.

Though I noticed that he was keeping a more respectable distance. My eyes shot to the side, glancing to the window by the door to see papa looking at us with a frown. "I wonder if he realizes that if he keeps up this 'no dating till 30' thing that all he's doing is making me want to be with you more? That telling me I can't see the man I love will only make me rebel against him. I can't not see you." I tell him with a pout.

He smiled fondly at me, "You're very wise Usako…more so than people give you credit for. Your dad's pretty head strong against me seeing you…isn't he?" his expression was very sad, a hint of the loneliness I used to see before.

Oh Mamo – chan…

I sat up, "He's like that with every guy. I think it's just the whole, I'm his only daughter thing add that to being first born so…he feels over protective. Though now I'm more curious on if it's just the fact that he is having so little faith in me." Papa was starting to make me wonder.

"He does, he's just being any other parent in his shoes right now. It's probably the reason why he's been staring daggers into my back since we got here." He joked.

I sighed knowing he was right. It was then that I spotted my overly eager match making neighbor coming out of her yard across the street, "Here's your new best friend." I teased, he looked up as she waved to him. Looking over dressed as always, in her tight black skirt and white blouse.

"That's funny Usako…" He chirped bitterly, siting up he started to walk down the steps while I stayed at the top. "Can I come by tonight…when everyone's asleep?" he asked, cocking an eyebrow up dangerously.

I quirked my head to the side, "It's hard to not have you by my side at night." He confessed with a sheepish smile.

I smiled with understanding, "Hai, me to. I'll message you when you can." He nodded with a small smile as he left the property.

I felt bad that I couldn't kiss him goodbye but with papa lurking literally at the window that was impossible without him finding out and cocking his shotgun. I swear he had one hidden on the first floor closet next to momma's dust pan and broom. I just hoped that mama would find it before Mamo – chan could come over. Walking inside I heard the door shut behind me, "You two were talking for a while." Papa commented.

"I always talk to him." I looked to papa somberly.

"He and I are close papa. I care about him as he does with me. Yes we've had our difficulties in the past demo, those are just hurdles we've overcome. He and I were both rash at different points because we didn't know how to react around one another." Papa looked a bit taken back, "He has changed as have I. I think we've or at least I have proven that lately." He looked at me off now. I could swear it was like he was seeing me in a different light. Like I was in color all of a sudden and he'd been seeing me in black and white.

"Usagi…honey, I love you and I just want what's best for you – and what's best isn't in the form of some older boy teaching you who knows what!" I smiled weakly, "So little faith in someone you hardly know. That's not how you and mama taught me to be." I couldn't help but form small tears in my eyes. There were no huge water works, just barely there tears that I know papa saw as a maturing step. A year ago I'd have wailed like a child, demanding that I see Mamo – chan, and he and I would argue and he'd win.

Now… "You and mama both taught me to give people the benefit of the doubt while still protecting one's self." He blanched. "I'll wash up for supper…think about it papa. I love you demo, try and see things from my perspective as well. You're a loving father protecting his daughter and I appreciate that, demo, this…I just hope your actions don't cause us more harm than good." I turned back around and walked into the kitchen finding mama giving me a small proud smile, "Nani?" I asked.

She walked forward, "Oh nothing…just hearing my daughter mature in ways I only dreamed possible. Mamoru – san is a good influence on you. I think now your father might come to see that." Mama iterated. I nodded.

"I'd like to try and get Mamo – chan over here for dinner next week. That's when the grade report - " just like that I remembered the grade from mine and Owen's project.

"Oh mama, papa I just remembered!" racing to my satchel I left by the door I pulled out my portion of the grade and handed it to mama, "That's great. B+!" mama was happy, papa looked proud. "And thanks to Mamo –c – ru – san, we got it done ahead of the due date to!" papa's face started to drop, "So it could have been an A demo he decided to have you turn it in early." Papa assumed. I down cast my face, "I decided to turn it in early. I was proud of my work." I defended to him.

He turned and walked out of the kitchen, "Give him some time." Mama admonished. I nodded. Dinner went by fine. Once it was over with I aided mama in the kitchen by doing some dishes as she dried them before knowing I still had a bit of make-up work to attend to. Heading to my room I opened up my most hated subject, math and set to work.)

It wasn't till 10 p.m. hit that the house sounded peaceful. Her brother was asleep, knocked out from his after school sports while she heard the t.v. on low in the living room signaling mama and papa having decided for some alone time. Taking the moment for what it was she showered and washed up before getting ready for bed. By the time she brushed her teeth her mama and papa were coming up themselves to get some sleep. Kissing her mama goodnight her papa gave a small nervous smile before going to bed himself.

She lowered her head meaningfully, wondering if she opened up a chapter in their father daughter relationship that he wasn't ready for. The part that meant she wasn't a simple minded teen anymore and that she was growing into a young woman capable of making her own life decisions. She sighed and went to her room. Hearing some soft snores she messaged Mamoru to come over.

She then proceeded to undress, slipping into a demure soft pink silk slip. That fell just over her hips, with slender straps. Swearing that he used his tuxedo mask powers to get there she giggled a bit. Finding him easing himself through her side window, just as she finished letting her hair down. Dressed in a pair of loose grey sweats and a black t-shirt. It was his new customary sleep over attire.

It was comfortable enough to lay for hours in and still be able to escape fully clothed in the morning. He slid into bed right behind her, but not before bestowing a simple sweet kiss to her tempting lips.

He held her contentedly till his cell phone vibrated, alerting him that it was six in the morning, time to go. The sun was warming his back, and showering down upon her bed through her large patio windows. Her room was peaceful and bright and it filled him with pleasant feelings. This was the most wonderful way to wake up. He basked for but a moment before allowing reality to take hold.

She'd have to get up for school in an hour and he didn't want to chance either parent walking in on him in their daughter's bed. Even if all they did was sleep. Ikuko may have liked him but he wasn't sure what her limit was to him in her daughter's personal life. It was bad enough she caught them in one compromising position but he didn't need another.

Gently rolling her form off of his chest since that's where she'd been sleeping the whole night he gave her a kiss goodbye as she briefly opened her eyes, "Mamo – chan…I had a really weird dream." she voiced uncertainly, her voice weak and shaky. He looked to her in question, still holding her to him, "I couldn't, I couldn't transform. You think it means anything?" She asked with a croaky voice.

"I doubt it. Probably just a fear of going through transformation since you've been back. Remember you haven't had to transform for a few weeks now. You don't normally go that long you know." He surmised, his reaction ever calm and logical.

She didn't completely agree but couldn't figure the dream out so she dismissed it as a simple bad dream. Not all of them meant something. At least she hoped not. "Gomen a sai, Usako, demo I have to go and I wanted to kiss you goodbye. At least until we see each other after school. Remember we're helping that little girl get the cats to the shelter." He saw her light blue eyes look to him gratefully. She could always count on him to help her.

"I'd better go before either of your parents come up here and I find myself trying to explain my presence." She nodded then kissed him once more as he slipped out her window and down the tree. Thankful that her papa didn't leave for work for another hour she slipped back to sleep and for once when her alarm clock rang, she woke up with it. Actually having time to eat breakfast and walk to school. The day went by, not as boring as they usually were, she was really serious on making up her grades.

Knowing that she was to be a future queen was a great power and weight to bear on her shoulders. She knew it would be easier if she did what she could to obtain any piece of knowledge she could. She was no longer the obtuse air head she once was. Still bubbly and care free when peace was abundant, that part of her was more tempered. She would continue to mature, to work on fixing her faults, and making herself stronger. Not just for Mamoru or her friends but to prove to herself that she wasn't a failure.

By this point even she could tell that Owen was acting strange around her. Hitting on her at school and it was starting to make her un comfortable. Worst part was she noticed him talking to that girl that was hitting on her Mamoru more as well. She'd have to talk to Umino and see if he knew anything. It was a tad suspicious for her to wave off. The ending of school came but it only made her more excited to rush home, change and grab the cat carrier.

Getting back to the abandoned manor house, she found her way back through the crumbling outside wall. Walking briskly through the warm shadows of the broken halls back towards the ballroom. She spotted Mamoru in the large doorway having picked up a cat himself. He was in grey dress pants and a white dress shirt untucked around his waist. Sitting on the cracked marble threshold, petting the grey tabby lightly in his lap.

"I wish we could take some with us home…" she muttered, sliping into the threshold to sit next to him. Having chosen to wear her jean overalls and pretty pink top with puffy sleeves and low rounded neck line. Then she spotted a few familiar looking kittens that eyed her with curiosity. It dawned on her that they were the same ones that saw her and Mamoru making love and literally breaking the door doing it.

"I wonder what happened to the door over there?" the little girl inquired, moving into view from just down the hall. Dressed more casually today in a pair of jean shorts and a yellow t-shirt that bore a simple image cartoon image on the front.

Both Mamoru and Usagi, blushed a bit before changing the subject and drawing the girl's eyes away from the busted door. They hadn't gotten more than two cats together before a strange scratching sound was heard. Looking at the far end of the vaulted room stood a strange cat like person. She wasn't as tall as a previous youma had been, maybe six foot at the most. With a dusting of dark purple fur, over a very flattering womanly body.

A matt of straight black hair, with two large feline ears twitching on the side of her head. But the sharp teeth, the fluffy white outfit she had on her mixed with the evil in her yellow eyes showed no doubt, she was a monster. Not to mention, the thing had a tail. As in a real honest to god, cats tail! She lifted her layered skirt up over her leg revealing a black star.

"Nell, Nell,Nell!" She called, as it shot out dark power and hit the girl in the dead center of her chest. The screaming child backed up against a far wall. Refusing to let that dark energy strike her, Mamoru lunged to his feet and grabbed the little girl, vaulting into the darkened doorway to another room. While Usagi prepped herself for transformation. "Not on my watch! Moon crystal power, make up!"

She thrust her hand over her head as she called her power down upon herself. But nothing happened. Instant shock hit her as she felt her dream wasn't a mere dream, it was a premonition of what was to come. The monster rushed her, Usagi screamed in fright as it pinned her in the opposite end of the hallway. She grunted in pain as she connected fiercely with the hard wall, the youma now grinning smugly mere inches away from her startled face.

A rose dagger hit the monster before any real damage could be done, "To attack such a young innocent child is cowardly!" Tux boasted, standing tall in the hall. His cape snapping, cane twirling defensively as he stared the monster down. Not liking that this tiny little slip of a girl, someone who was just taking care of some homeless cats was being attacked by this weird, random monster.

"Neru!" the monster screamed. Whipping her tail at him, it elongated into a cracking whip. Exploding towards Tux at intense speeds. Just barely dodging the blinding attack he shot another dagger tipped rose at her, finishing his duck and roll maneuver himself to the other side of the wide hall.

The dagger tipped rose briefly knocked into her side as he heard Usagi scream, "Tuxedo Mask!" whirling around to confront the screaming girl.

The rose hardly did anything for its impact, not even phasing the Yoma who once again was focus on Usagi. Knowing he needed to put more power into his next attack he watched as her tail swung out to hit him again. His cane acted as his defense, shooting out it impaled the youma straight in the heart. It screamed in agony as it cracked into tiny puzzle pieces. The force of the cane knocked her remains into the opposing wall next to Usagi.

For Usagi not liking this new enemy she used a few of Jupiter's moves and slammed her right fist into its face. It yowled out much like a feral cat would. Then Usagi swung left leg out to kick it in the gut. The cat monster bent forward with the impact, "Impudent girl." She snarled, narrowing her eyes. Whipping her tail out, she wrapped it around Usagi's throat and slammed her into the door frame near Tux.

"Usako!" he gasped in anger and fear. His beloved was being slammed around and strangled to death by this new enemy. Whacking the tail with his cane it snapped into more pieces of puzzle, making the hero realize it may have been made out of literal puzzle pieces.

Giving a small cough Usagi muttered, "I can't transform." He nodded having heard her call out and nothing happening. "Get the child out of here and get to safety. I've called the girls their on their way. Go!" he looked to find her still standing nearby, glaring daggers at the Youma.

"Now!" he nearly ordered, wanting her out of the way of the enemy. Senshi she may be but in this form she was still able to be severely harmed. But she wasn't having it.

Not on my watch!

He sighed, knowing she wasn't giving in. "Please…that child needs to get to safety and you're her only chance. I'll stay here and beat the monster back." He tried.

She knew the child was important but couldn't find it in her to leave her beloved behind. She shot her face to the child, "Run!" but she hadn't noticed the blinding fear in the girl's eyes. She was now frozen stiff in fear. "We fight together. I won't leave you!" Usagi proclaimed, her tiny fists braced before her taking a fighting stance.

"Oh how sweet. You two lovers?" the cat monster asked, bitterly sweet. Both parties shot the monster a glare.

"Nani are you anyways? Why attack a defenseless child?" Usagi demanded, her anger giving her more courage.

"She was targeted for her pure heart." The monster purred, licking her paw like hands smugly.

Both parties narrowed their eyes at such a target, "Demo, she's a child!" Usagi defended.

"Doesn't matter. Where ever there might be a talisman I go." The cat responded with a sly smile.

Both Usagi and Mamoru narrowed their eyes even more.

"Even at the risk of an innocent…surprise, surprise. You evil beings stoop to new levels all the time!' she shouted in righteous anger.

"Whatever. Now where is the brat?" it demanded. Hearing her moaning in the next room she slapped both Usagi and Tux away with her tail as she flew through hallway to the dark room. It was the sounds of the child's panic filled screaming that brought Usagi out of her stunned moment. Charging into action once again, dashing down the hall and straight into the darkness without a single thought to her own wellbeing.

Rushing the monster she managed leap upon its back, wrapping her arms in a kind of strangle hold around it's neck. The monster stumbled back but it was to late. The prize had been retrieved, a sparkling rose color crystal hovered over the now near dead corpse of the little girl, slumped against the back wall. Just as the rest of the senshi charged into the room. Mars fired a Mandala at her, while Venus complemented her attack with a Crescent Beam.

The room lit up instantly by the pulsing lights of their powers, as the Youma struggled to get Usagi off her back. Screaming in fury that she had so many distractions the cat monster whipped her tail at two of the senshi's powers. Causing them to boomerang back at them, before fisting her right hand around Usagi's neck and throwing her right back at Tux, just as he entered through the doorway.

He caught her easily, then set her back on her feet taking a quick survey of her body to make sure she was unharmed. His mind reeling at how reckless she was being, fueled by her emotions and thinking irrationally. She was going to get herself killed at this rate.

"Now leave me alone!" she bellowed, aiming to take the brightly glowing crystal like object from the child.

"Never!" stated an outraged Usagi. Face flushed and beaded with sweat as it had taken all that she had just to pull that Youma off the child.

Feeling helpless and needing to do something she went for another strike, screaming with rage, her emotions now running rampant and unrestrained. Where were her powers, why had they forsaken her? When the cat monster lashed out its claws against her. It was Tux that came in and blocked the attack with his cape, taking the brunt of it himself. His cloak torn and ripped he tried yet again to order his love to leave only for her to refuse.

"I want to fight with you. I want to protect everyone, I want to protect you!" she cried out, her eyes wet with fear. He felt like choking up at the feelings she evoked within him. But she was being just plain dangerous right now! As long as she couldn't transform she was benched from fighting in battles.

"Nani? No matter." The cat monster spat whipping her tail out once more.

Tux saw the attacked coming, swinging Usagi into his arms he leaped into the air. The monster's attack caught Jupiter mid Kata. Her arms crossed with electricity coursing up and down her arms ready to be released. The Youma's tail wrapped around Jupiter's arms just as the woman sought to send her attack.

"Nell, Nell, Nell!" The youma cried, as black energy coursed down her binding tail and jolted Jupiter a good one.

The Brunette arched her back and screamed as the dark energy exploded over her body.

"Jupiter!" Usagi wailed, now writhing to be free of Tux's bracing arms. As he held her back out in the hall.

In any other situation he'd be finding her writhing form incredibly sexy and a turn on, but right now her writhing form was scaring him. He didn't want to lose her and her blind need to fight for the people she loved most seemed to be over powering her logical thinking.

"Stay here!" He grasped both of her shoulders, staring directly into her tear-filled eyes. She broached no defiance of his order, he gave her shoulders a light shake wanting to make sure she would obey him this time.

"Usagi..."He questioned.

Usagi cast her head to the side, face red with anger and frustration. She couldn't promise him she would stay put. She just could not sit back and let her friends fight without her. She had to deal with that enough when Diamond had had her, not anymore.

Tux growled at her silent defiance, then dashed back into the room. Leaving her standing on trembling legs in the relative safety of the hall. Staring forlornly at the shadows within the doorway. Her mind lost to raging thoughts, about why she couldn't transform. What had gone wrong? Was it her crystal or her?

When Tux charged back into the room, Jupiter was recovering from her attack. Rising back up to her feet, looking a little singed but still in the fight.

Venus was dancing with the youma her love me chain glowing brightly. While Mars cast several columns of fire towards her, the agile Youma was easily leaping and flipping away from them, laughing mockingly as she kept the senshi at bay.

"Mercury...let's see how well our friend does in avoidance of us if she can't see." Tux offered with a sly smile.

Mercury for her part had been attempting to gather information on her computer to find the Youma's weaknesses. She cast Tux a fearful look.

She didn't like this! If she cast a 'Mercury bubble blast' in such close quarters inside a building it would put her team at risk of accidentally attacking one another.

"You better have a damn good plan...because tactically speaking it's not a sound attack for this situation." Mercury commented, clipping her computer to her hip on the small magnetic strip her fuku now came with along with her power upgrade.

Calling forth her powers, Mercury began to defensive kata to produce the ice fog.

"Earth Shaking!" A woman's roar rebounded through the room. A raging ball of glowing energy came careening down from a nearby window. The stair case and upper roof to the room was partially destroyed. So one could see the huge set of windows on the second floor.

Usagi had just garnered enough courage to disobey her beloved and had crept to the doorframe to keep tabs on her friends. If they ever got into a dire situation she would do all that she could to save them. Including placing her life before theirs. Her face lit up in the unknown power's glow, at it slammed into the back of the Youma. Who had been distracted with dealing with a dual attack from Mars and Venus.

The ball of energy sent the monster flying into the far wall.

"Deep Submerge!" Another woman's voice rang out, more gentle yet just as fierce. Then a raging ball of water exploded against the Youma's exposed back. The Monster screamed in agony as the two immense powers consumed it. Then crumbled to the ground in a mess of tiny puzzle pieces.

A mere puzzle was left in her place, with a strange glowing egg slipping from the paper and cardboard remains. Only to crack open releasing a negative energy that went unnoticed as the defenders were now busy confronting two new Guardian's.

"Nani was that?" Jupiter asked. The senshi having regained themselves from the blast of the two senshi's powers. It was the simple pure energy coming from the little girl's pure heart that drew Usagi and everyone else's attention to the two mysterious figures near the window. They leaped to the floor before the pale and slow dying little girl, still slumped in the shadows against the far end of the wall.

The senshi were graceful and elegant in their movements, perfectly in sync with one another as they moved. The taller of the two with short dusty blonde hair and sky blue eyes, with a beauty both strong like a man's, yet graceful like a woman's. She was in a dark blue fuku with a yellow bow. Her tiara holding a light blue crystal the shimmered in the faint light of the room. She held a passion in her eyes that was fierce, and a grim expression that spoke of long hours of dark contemplations over the future.

Her companion, had long aqua green hair that was thick and wavy like the ocean. With soft gentle green eyes that held compassion and strength. Dressed in a dark green Fuku with dark blue bow, her tiara holding her own aqua green crystal glowing faintly as the her powers settled like the calming of the ocean after a storm. They were hovered over the glittering rose crystal the Youma had pulled from the girl's body, scrutinizing it for some unknown power.

"Not a talisman, nani a wasted trip." The feminine figure with ties to the ocean commented softly to her partner. Gently tossing the pure heart back to the little girl. Usagi didn't accepted that though. It was to careless for her tastes.

"Nani are you doing? If your senshi which I assume you are by the looks of it then we should be fighting together! It seems that your concern is nearly the same as theirs is!" she protested. The Youma had been concerned only with the crystal and not the girl's life. These callous Guardian's seemed the same and it was making her furious. The shorter haired figure whose features couldn't be distinguishable to the other across the room, through the heavy shadows of evening now blanketing the far side of the room spoke.

"Don't misunderstand." The authority in her voice rivaled Rei's cold business like tone. It was the tone she used to get the girls emotions under control when they were trapped in a pinch.

"You're a senshi, there's nothing to misunderstand. At least tell us where you get your orders from. We can work together. A common goal to keep the innocents safe." Usagi supplied.

"Our goal is to - " The taller senshi began but the other senshi grabbed her gloved hand in warning, "Our goal is none of your concern. When it pertains to you then we'll talk." Her voice was gentle yet stern.

This outraged Usagi, "Bull! Anything that pertains to an innocent victim is our business. It's MY business!" she saw the narrowing in both sets of eyes.

The taller senshi began to laugh softly at Usagi. "Who are you to judge us, to command us?! A mere human."

"I am the Guardian of the Moon! Princess Serenity and the future ruler of the Silver Millennium!" She ranted back, placing her hands on her hips as if she was in a very royal, very irritated manner.

"If I were you I'd train myself better. You can't even transform, as you are now. You are just a liability to your friends." The cold toned senshi stated.

While her companion started to snicker. "Honestly, you our princess...our future queen? If that is so, then we truly are doomed."

Usagi stood completely aghast and humiliated before them, her face flaring she cast her head down to the marble. How could see make them see, making them believe her when she couldn't transform. Her heart ached like a piece was missing, her own powers...her crystal had forsaken her...why!

At feeling his beloved's stress and hurt feelings it caused Tux to step forward. Hearing the cold words from one, and other's flippant behavior felt very threatening, "Enough!" He moved towards Usagi, placing comforting hands on her shoulders. Standing in her overalls and pink t-shirt she really didn't make much of a commanding presence. Looking more childish and weak then anything to that of a senshi.

But he believed in her, this was just a hitch. They would figure out what was happening and fix this. He just needed her to stay hopeful. These senshi were already placing doubt and self-deprecating emotion inside of her with their hurtful remarks.

The senshi with shoulder length hair responded, seeing the protective nature his body seemed to hold when he thought her partner had threatened his intended. "Nothing of concern, to you earth prince or the Inner Guardian's. You all have your mission and we have ours." They leaped away, to fast for even Tux to try and catch.

"Their gone." Mars stated stunned. Mercury took out her computer, "No negative readings from them, their definitely sailor senshi. The readings are like ours, demo, but way stronger." The girls looked to her. "Which means their powers are to." Venus iterated. They then saw Usagi guide the pure heart back inside the little girl.

"She'll be fine now, just passed out." Mercury stated scanning the little girl's vitals. "But if a pure heart remains outside of a person body for to long...they will die." She finished her expression grim.

"I feel like we know them. Like we've met before." Usagi told them.

"If their senshi then we probably have, demo, when and where?" Venus questioned.

"Well we don't all remember everything from our past lives…maybe Luna and Artemis can shed some light on them." Jupiter suggested.

Usagi nodded, "I'm going to stay with the girl and make sure she gets home safe." The senshi nodded and left her and Tux alone who quickly de transformed back into this grey pants and dress shirt.

What a week this is becoming…

(Sitting together with the little girl in my arms Mamo - chan spoke.

"They knew who I was Usako." Mamoru stated thoughtfully, well I nodded, "But they didn't believe me, they couldn't sense who I was." I pursed my lips, it was like everything that had made me the princess had be ripped away from my soul. I felt empty inside, I wanted to take my broach out of my pocket and check on my crystal. But I was to terrified to look. If it was damaged or worst tainted...I knew I would completely unravel right then and there. I had to keep my head, so I forced myself to wait until I was safe in my own room to check.

"Yeah…is it possible for there to be two 'bad' senshi? NO! There can't be!" I couldn't comprehend the objective for a senshi to go dark side.

"Maybe their fighting the good fight demo, they just have different methods. I mean I was practically fighting against you all till I realized we had the same common goal." He told me, trying to come up with a logical reason.

"I know…" I hoped it was just that.

"Oh that reminds me!" he looked startled to my near outburst. "It occurred to me while I was in the future that the beginning of our relationship pretty much started out with both of us arguing or poking fun at one another." He looked a tad nervous at where this was going.

"Yeah…?" he nearly asked.

"So why not just admit how you felt early on? You went about it the fifth graders route of telling me you liked me." I commented with a playful smirk, making him blush profusely.

Looking at me he smiled, "You were and still are unlike anyone I've ever met before. You brought it out of me, you know. With your adorable childish antics. Sticking your tongue out at me...stomping away all huffy and out raged. Plus towards the end, before we went to the Starlight Tower, I was starting to like you…or rather realize that I liked you the whole time. It stunned me and I lashed out in fear. Thus the teasing..."

I nodded in understanding.

"Plus…" now he looked like he had a grin to his face before he looked back to me, "You were and are pretty hot and sexy when you're all riled up." My eyes widened before I burst out in surprising laughter.

It woke the little girl up, "Where – where's the monster?!" she asked frantically. "Gone, the sailor senshi defeated her." I explained. She calmed down and soon enough we were all three taking as many cats as possible to the animal shelter. Once again I managed to get home by dusk, as Mamo – chan walked me home. "That was an exhausting day." I mused. "Yeah…we'll probably have a senshi meeting about it tomorrow after school sometime." I agreed with him as the front door opened.

"Try not to worry to much about not transforming today...your crystal could be tired out from the last battle and might just be still recouping. Check it over and let me know alright." He gripped my shoulders encouragingly. Our mental link alive with his comfort.

It was papa, "Time to come in Usagi – chan." He only gave Mamo – chan a contemplating look before gesturing me inside. Once again I felt sad that I couldn't even kiss Mamo – chan goodbye as papa looked on stern. Head falling down I walked inside, wondering if something had been shifted within the house now. Papa didn't look to happy tonight. Hopefully it was just something work related.

Mamo – chan come back again tonight…

Maybe around midnight, I have some studying to do for an exam…I mentally agreed as I walked inside. Just in case I don't…he started to iterate as I could feel his hand through our link caressing my cheek before gently giving me a kiss through it as well. I smiled.

"About our conversation yesterday Usagi – chan." I looked back to papa. His face and demeanor was anything but approving.

"I'd be more inclined to accept your words if it weren't for the phone call to the house that I heard on the answering machine." To this I frowned, "Nani?" I asked. It was to this that he nearly looked ready to blow his head off at, "BIRTH CONTROL?!" he raged out. It felt like the house shook with it. "I…" how was I supposed to explain this? "Your already sleeping with that man!" he demanded.

Remember what mama told you!

I had to sooth his temper, "No, no I'm not sleeping with him." About the biggest lie ever, "It's for cramping papa." He cooled down a bit in confusion, "Nani?" I withdrew a breath that I was holding, "Cramps papa. Birth control isn't just for, THAT, it also helps make cramps easier to bear. Or in some cases takes them away completely. It also helps with mood swings." Now he looked a bit ashamed for how he blew his top.

"It does?" he asked now deflated. "Hai. Why else would mama have me get on them?" I asked.

As if hearing her name mama came around the kitchen's corner, "Kenji – san!" now he bowed his head, "I had Usagi – chan get on them due to her cramping. It'll be easier for her when at school. She wouldn't have to spend half a week in the nurses office due to cramping or headaches from the 'red dragon' alone."

He sighed, "I should have been told." He defended.

"It's a female thing between a mother and daughter." Mama told him.

Thank you mama…now to get some dinner in before study time…and to face my crystal...
