Chapter Six



"And THEN-everyone was staring at us! And this guy offered to hold Mamoru back, 
so I said yes!" Usagi recounted gleefully. She flushed guiltily, trying to 
squelch thoughts of Mamoru and kisses completely from her mind. It was bad 
enough that SHE knew about it, if LUNA did-she’d KILL Mamoru!
Luna stared at her charge in disbelief and horror. "You DIDN'T!" The cat shook 
her head. ["Tell me she DIDN’T!"] Luna begged silently, embarrassed for her 
charge. The way she and Mamoru acted was just-unbelievable. One day, they were 
really going to kill each other.
"I did!" Usagi giggled, clutching her pillow to her chest. Her eyes flickered to 
the side, teeth nibbling on her bottom lip. She could recall his deep blue eyes 
with NO problem at all. And it had never mattered before! ["Am I obsessed with 
my worst enemy?"] Usagi wondered, horrified. What could be worse than having a 
crush on a guy who might not even like her as much? Okay, so he might be 
attracted-but what if he never DID anything about it? How could she keep 
yelling, knowing that she really wanted to throw herself into his arms…and kiss 
him…or strangle him…whatever worked. It could be either, knowing their weird 
relationship. Rei and the others would NEVER believe it OR let Usagi forget it. 
Which was why, she’d die rather than every let them have the tiniest hint that 
she liked her worst enemy and dreamed of kisses-but she STILL DISLIKED him too!
"Oh, Usagi! How could you?" Luna interrupted, voice profoundly disappointed. The 
cat shook her head, looking defeated.
The blonde glared. "Hey! Just who's side are you ON anyway, Luna?" she demanded, 
outraged. She stared hard at her guardian. ["I might have a crush and want to 
kiss him-terribly-but he’s STILL the enemy! Luna should be on MY side, not the 
creep’s!"] she thought rebelliously.
"I'm on no one's side! I'm here as your guardian and teacher and later when we 
find the Princess, as Royal Adviser!" Luna said haughtily, tilting her nose 
towards the roof. ["I pray to the gods, that it will be soon!"]
"You mean-you're on HIS side?!" Usagi shrieked disbelievingly. ["I’m on my 
OWN!?"]
"I didn't say that!" Luna yelled back. ["That ditz! Doesn’t she take anything 
seriously? What is it with her and that Chiba Mamoru that makes them rub each 
other the wrong way?"]
"Usagi? Did I hear voices?" Ikuko opened the door quickly, scanning the room. 
She frowned when she saw only her daughter and her cat. Then, her eyes alighted 
on the window. "Did I hear Rei?" she questioned, walking quickly towards the 
window. She peered out carefully, noting the empty tree and deserted street 
below as if expecting to see the priestess there, dangling by her fingernails.
"Rei?" Usagi questioned warily, she cast a look at the spluttering cat, who was 
valiantly trying not to choke. "No-why? It must have been the TV downstairs." 
Luna really had to be more careful!
"I guess it must have been-but I could have sworn....Never mind, dear." Ikuko 
smiled at her daughter fondly. Then she leaned over and kissed Usagi on the 
forehead gently. "Don't stay up too much longer."
"But it's Monday tomorrow, Mom!" Usagi wailed in protest. "These is my LAST 
hours of freedom before school!" her blue eyes narrowed. ["And away from that 
creep too. I just KNOW that I’m going to crash into him sometime tomorrow-and I 
have to be ready to resist all advances"] she groaned mentally. ["MY advances or 
HIS?!"] really, she couldn’t even trust herself to be around him anymore. All 
they needed was for just one person to find out about their ‘denying our 
attraction for all we’re worth, since we used to be enemies and all’ and 
everything would be doomed!
A strangled gasp came from the floor. Luna took a deep breath and held it. 
["That AIRHEAD! We’re fighting the Dark Kingdom for the lives of all on 
Earth-and she’s thinking about the hours before School?!"] Luna groaned, head 
drooping towards the floor in resignation. She raised a paw and covered her 
eyes, in a distinctly harassed manner. ["Maybe I can give her back and let 
Mercury be leader?"]
Ikuko turned and Usagi looked at her innocently. "Monday. School. Hooooorible 
teachers and classes?" the blonde repeated promptingly, trying to keep her 
mother's attention from the red-faced cat. ["Wow,"] she thought admirably, 
looking quickly at her cat, then back to her Mother. ["Luna's holding her 
breath! How long can she keep that up?"] she frowned at her guardian, who had 
suddenly covered her eyes with her paw. [And what is she doing?"]
Ikuko put a hands to her cheek, looking bewildered and authoritative. "Well 
then-turn the light off NOW, young lady! I thought it was Saturday for some 
reason, but this is worse." She shook her head, eyes tired. "I think I'll go to 
bed myself. All that cleaning today-goodnight, Usagi. Remember, lights out in 
five minutes."
"Okay," Usagi agreed sulkily. ["As IF I’m going to sleep with HIM on my mind 
now!"]
When the door had closed, Luna let out her breath explosively. She collapsed 
onto the floor, panting and paws splayed out. "REI?!" she yowled in outrage. She 
panted again. "I do NOT sound like Rei! And WHY can’t you take School more 
seriously?"
Usagi giggled, staring at her guardian with interest. She'd never seen a cat go 
red in the face before OR hold its breath for so long! "Are you okay, Luna?" she 
asked soliciticly, leaning over to study Luna’s face more closely.
"Fine," Luna gasped, laying flat on the floor like a rag-doll. "Just dandy, 
Usagi!"
"Dandy?" Usagi questioned, glancing at her cat askance. ["Is that even a word?"]
"Goodnight, Usagi!" Luna replied firmly, closing her eyes and ignoring the 
blonde. Usagi really tired her out!
"Goodnight, Luna," Usagi said in a sing-song voice, grinning. She jumped onto 
her bed, bouncing around lightly. "Goodnight John-b-"
"Finish that and you die!" Luna screeched, leaping to her feet. She glared at a 
startled Usagi, then pointedly at the enormous bunny on the end of the bed. "I 
realize that you’re enamoured off the present by your secret admirer-but really! 
That’s where I sleep, Usagi!" Luna protested darkly. The bunny had usurped her 
position on the comfy bed-and she was NOT happy about it!
"Oh come on, Luna" Usagi coaxed. "It’s just a stuffed toy-you can share the bed 
too!"
"I will NOT-" The cat broke off, sighing deeply. She ran across the room and 
leapt nimbly onto the window sill of Usagi’s bedroom. "When you’ve grown up, let 
me know. Until then, I’ll be at Ami’s"
And then she was gone.
Usagi stared silently at the window for a long moment, then turned her face 
towards the huge pink bunny at the end of her bed. "What was wrong with her?" 
she asked it, upset by Luna’s behavior. "She’s not jealous of a BUNNY…is she?"
Of course, the bunny didn’t answer. But then, stuffed toys seldom did.



The moon was far in the sky when Mamoru's eyes opened. He glanced around into 
the darkness, totally bewildered for a moment. He felt the bed under him and 
knew where he was-but there was something he was forgetting. Something 
important..."Usagi!" he gasped, leaping up. It was time for action. It was now 
or never. He was going to go over to her place and ONE of them was going to 
admit their attraction! Mamoru's feet landed smoothly on the floor, but then he 
stumbled over something. He flailed through the dark, trying to find a hand-hold 
on something. His arm whacked against the wall painfully. Mamoru yelped, falling 
backwards with arms wind-milling. But with nothing to grab a-hold of, he kept on 
falling. The seasoned protector of all Tokyo and Sailor Moon-hit the floor hard, 
face-first. He groaned into the carpet, eyes adjusting slowly to the dark room. 
"This-is not a good start," he groaned.
"Lets try that again." he muttered, getting painfully to his feet. Squinting 
through the night, he saw the light switch and flicked it on. Light flooded the 
room, hitting Mamoru's eyes painfully. He'd had SOME sleep, but was still tired. 
"I HAVE to see her though!" he said, trying to make his voice commanding enough 
for his body to obey. Apparently it worked, because as he made his way towards 
the kitchen and the coffee jug, a thrill of excitement began to make it's way 
through him. He was going to find Usagi and continue that conversation! And this 
time-NO witnesses. And either she was going to bash him into next week-or he’d 
finally get that much-deserved kiss. Mamoru groaned, dropping his head into his 
hands. "Where the hell does she LIVE?!"
His one and ONLY card with Usagi’s address-pilfered from Motoki’s wallet-had 
been given to the florist, to deliver those roses and the giant bunny. "WHY 
didn’t I make a copy?!" he shouted. "I am a moron! What is this girl DOING to 
me? I used to be so rational!" Still, it remained that he was lacking one 
Tsukino Usagi’s home address.



20 minutes, a shower, a shave and a coffee later, Mamoru stood under the 
luminous light of the street lamps below his apartment. Somehow, his OWN phone 
book had eluded him, and after a few frantic moments, he had dashed out of the 
apartment, into the elevator and out into the night. "Let see," he muttered, 
grabbing the thick phone book. He opened it random, then began to flick through 
the pages with some urgency. "Tsukino-Tsukino...Ah ha!" His finger slid down the 
page slowly, from name to name. He knew BASICALLY where she lived, from 
remembering all their NUMEROUS encounters over the last few months. "Tsukino K 
and I. That LOOKS about the right area." He groaned. "I BETTER be right! I can 
just see myself jumping through a window and into a strangers house!"
["Oh yeah, Tuxedo Kamen would really take a beating. THINK of the embarrassment! 
Sorry Ma’am...I was looking for a young blonde girl, to tell her that I love 
her-but couldn't find her house!"]
"Ah ha!" Mamoru shouted triumphantly, holding out the phone book into the light 
from the street lamp. The Tsukino's were the ONLY Tsukino's in the area! He 
quickly memorized the address. "Now I have you, Usagi. And we ARE going to have 
a LOOOOOONG talk!" He hesitated, looking thoughtful. "Or a looong kissing 
session. Whatever is good with her, of course." His eyes narrowed. "And she WILL 
admit her attraction to me, if I have to kiss her senseless to get the 
confession!"
Mamoru slammed the heavy pages of the book together, closing it-then threw it 
over his shoulder negligently. He vaguely heard the heavy thump on the sidewalk 
behind him, but ignored it, walking off into the night. Mamoru made a gesture 
quickly, pulling a rose from the thin air. In moments, he had transformed into 
Tuxedo Kamen. He pulled his cloak tight about his body, keeping to the shadows 
like some sort of assassin. It was corny-yes...But he was a man on a mission! 
You HAD to make allowances for that sort of thing-right? It never occurred to 
him to look at the time-not that a watch came with his expensive Tuxedo 
anyway-but if he HAD, he would have seen the hands of the clock just touching on 
11:25...Long past the bedtime of a certain heroine of Tokyo.



Dying red roses dotted the room of Tsukino Usagi, but she didn’t have the heart 
to throw even one of them away. She was STILL trying to figure out who had sent 
her the roses and the giant bunny. And STILL trying to figure out what to do 
about Chiba Mamoru-her greatest enemy turned greatest crush. "But I have a HUGE 
crush on Tuxedo Kamen, too!" she wailed. "How can I love TWO guys?!" She gasped 
as she realized what she had said. "LOVE?!" she hissed in shock, falling 
backwards until her head hit the headboard painfully. For a long moment, her 
mouth gaped with shock, horror and finally-an extremely silly grin. "I LOVE him? 
It can’t be!" she gasped, heart beginning to thunder in her chest. Was it 
POSSIBLE? And if so-what on earth could she DO about it? She didn’t even know if 
Mamoru liked her back.
Usagi absently glanced down to the end of the bed, where the bunny lay 
innocently. Luna had been gone an hour, while the blonde sat there on her bed, 
musing. And she hadn’t come back. "Oh ,well. Silly kitty. You could have 
shared," Usagi giggled, wiggling around on her bed covers and trying to get 
comfortable. She was now in her nightdress, hair brushed and sprawled back 
against her headboard-courtesy of her shocked revelations. It was almost 
midnight, but she couldn’t sleep-not after the events of the day. Not after HIM. 
Mamoru had always filled her thoughts, but they were usually VERY 
uncomplimentary. "What am I going to do when I see him next?" she wondered in 
horror, a hand over her mouth. "He’ll know for sure! I just KNOOOOW it!" she 
wailed quietly. "He’ll look into my eyes and-"
But it still remained that they fought like cats and dogs. If he liked her, then 
why had he continued to constantly taunt her? But she liked him and fought him 
too. Usagi groaned, clutching at her hair in frustration. "It’s stupid!" she 
moaned. How could she act horrible to him NOW? She was angry with him STILL for 
the underpants fiasco. Her eyes narrowed assessingly. Mamoru had well and truly 
gotten her. He’d NEVER ever let her live it down-like her or not. Usagi had no 
doubts that they’d taunt each other until time ended. It was bad enough that she 
constantly crashed into him-every single day-but to have a pair of her 
UNDERPANTS land on his shoe was…horrifying. And-and…
"I’m actually starting to like him- a lot. And-I’m not so sure that I’m not 
falling in love with him either," she whispered to herself sadly. She hated him 
and fought with him constantly-but she WAS attracted to him. Even she could 
admit it. And if she was truthful, then she knew that HE was attracted to her 
too. Maybe that was why they constantly crashed into each other? Usagi looked 
blankly at her wall. ["DO I LOVE him? I feel so weird when we’re close to each 
other-And I just want a kiss-"]
Usagi glanced up as there came a slight sound from her window. Her mouth gaped 
open as she saw Tuxedo Kamen there, crouched easily on the sill of the open 
window. His dark blue eyes glittered strangely from behind the white half-mask, 
making her breath catch. Okay, so she was Sailor Moon and used to seeing this 
guy around...at fights. But-what on Earth was he doing on her window sill? He 
didn't know who she was...did he? And HOW could she face HIM after thinking 
about Mamoru all night?! Her second love was there now! ["I can’t handle them 
BOTH!"] she thought in horror. ["What if I have to CHOOSE between them?"]
"Tuxedo Kamen?" she stammered, flushing brightly. She was clad only in a short 
pink nightdress, complete with bunny picture. And here was her dream hunk-well, 
one of them anyway. Usagi quickly pinched herself to make sure that she wasn’t 
dreaming. "Ouch!" she yelped. Her eyes filled with dismay. ["Oh no! This is 
REAL! What am I going to dooooo?"]
Tuxedo Kamen's mouth twitched slightly, then he leapt down from the sill to the 
floor. His shoes barely made a sound in the plush carpet, but Usagi threw a 
nervous look towards her door all the same. ["Oh, no you don’t, Usagi"] he 
thought grimly. ["I’ve gone through waaaay too much for you to bolt away again. 
ONE way or another I AM getting my kiss tonight!"] he spared the rest of the 
room a quick glance, noting with satisfaction, that his present sat at the end 
of her bed. Her BED! ["Woah. Slow down there, Chiba"] he told himself, planting 
both feet firmly to the floor. He’d come for a reason. Well, two. One was a kiss 
and the other was to tell Usagi that he loved her-oh and get HER to admit that 
she liked him! ["Okay, so three reasons."] he muttered mentally, tone sour.
"What are you doing here?" Usagi asked weakly, moving so that the bed was 
between them. She had a CRUSH, yes, but she wasn't stupid! This was a strange 
man in her room! One she loved-yes, but she barely knew him. And HE somehow had 
discovered that she was Sailor Moon. ["Did he-follow me from the battle that 
time?"] she wondered, biting her lip hard. Her blue eyes widened even more. 
["What if he SAW Mamoru and me together? And me in his arms!?"] This thought 
sent her into a panic. She wasn’t ready to choose between them yet. Her blue 
eyes fell on the huge bunny, maybe she could use it as a weapon? But this was 
Tuxedo Kamen! How could she fight him?!
Tuxedo Kamen straightened his vest, then both gloves, breathing deeply. Then he 
looked up at her, pinning her with his intent gaze. "NOW," he said, stalking 
around the bed towards her, "we can continued the conversation we were having 
when you so rudely ran away earlier. And THIS time, you aren't getting away, 
Usagi!" he told her harshly, more determined than he had ever been in his life. 
Everything would be resolved that night-for better or worse. AND, his angel had 
nowhere to run this time! ["Perfect"]
She gaped at him, giving a startled shriek as he reached her side. Before he 
could blink, Usagi dove over the bed lithely. She hit the wall, then fell into a 
crouch at the ready. The bunny tumbled from the bed, falling like a rock and 
then bouncing to a stop at Tuxedo Kamen’s feet. She watched with astonishment, 
as he paused and then picked up the bunny to replace on the bed. 
["Conversation?!"] she thought in panic and confusion. ["WHAT conversation? And 
WHY is he trying to grab me?!"]
Tuxedo Kamen sighed, moving around the bed again swiftly. ["Why is she making 
this so HARD? Even disguised, she manages to avoid me!"] he thought in 
exasperation. ["Unbelievable!"]
Usagi immediately jumped into the center of the bed, knee's slightly bent to 
run. The bunny launched off the bed and smacked into the wall with a sickening 
thud, making Usagi wince. She pointed at him shakily with her index finger, eyes 
accusing. "You-stay right there, mister!" she commanded.
Tuxedo Kamen came to a halt, staring at her with exasperation. "Mmm?"
"I don't KNOW what you're doing in my room! I don't want to know-really. I 
wouldn't mind in the DAY! Because I think you're really dreamy and all-" She 
broke off her words hurriedly, flushing. ["Ohmygod! I almost blurted out that I 
loved him!"] She went on, forcing her red face back to its normal color. "But 
I'm in my NIGHTIE!" she finished with a wail. Usagi tried futilely to pull down 
her short nightdress at the front and the back, merely succeeding in making the 
top slide off of one slender shoulder. "Ugh!" she yelled, hurriedly pulling it 
up...which caused it to move up on the bottom. ["I’m so embarrassed!"] she 
wailed silently, face turning the color of a tomato.
Tuxedo Kamen was rewarded with an amazing view of Tsukino Usagi's lacy white 
undies and smooth stomach before the blonde wailed and threw herself down on the 
bed flat. ["Oh my god!"] He gaped, eyes glazing over.
"Don't LOOK!" she shrieked, face flaming. She could never remember being so 
embarrassed in all her life. ["He’s worse than Mamoru! HE’S never seen me in my 
underwear and nightie!"]
For Mamoru though, it was like being confronted-and blinded-by a golden shield. 
Her beauty and innocence dazzled him and he SWORE the vision of a half-naked 
Usagi was going to be burnt into his retinas permanently! "Umm…" He trailed off, 
blinking. "I didn't see a thing," he lied smoothly. ["Yeah right."]
"Really?" Usagi replied, looking up hopefully. ["I hope he didn’t, I hope he 
didn’t"] she chanted silently. She’d just utterly DIE, if he’d seen her undies! 
Two guys in ONE day was just…unbelievable!
Tuxedo averted his gaze. He was SURE the golden-haired girl had no idea that 
from her prone position, he had quite a good view of the back of her long legs 
and a hint of her underpants. ["Hentai!"] he berated himself. ["You came here 
for a reason! NOT a perve! OH wait-I DID come for a kiss so…Shut up, Chiba."] He 
summoned a smile, for her benefit. "Sure," he lied again, gritting his teeth. 
This had not been his intention. He looked back involuntarily, almost drawn. 
Yep, her undies were still in plain view. Was she trying to give him a heart 
attack?!
"Okay." Usagi fell silent, looking up at him, hands folded into her chest 
protectively. She gazed at him with wide eyes, still flushing slightly. Then, 
she frowned. "Okay! I know what this is!" she stated triumphantly. ["I’ve GOT 
it! This is a dream! I KNEW I had to be asleep. THIS could never happen in real 
life!"] Usagi groaned mentally. ["Not after the weird weeks I’VE been having!"]
"What would that be?" he asked cautiously, suspicious about the bright look in 
her eyes. ["This doesn’t sound right. What is she up to now?"]
The girl jumped to her feet, a hand thrust into the air triumphantly. "This is a 
dream!" she shouted, grinning. "Yes, it has to be!"
To Tuxedo Kamen's shock, Usagi jumped from the bed, landing at his side. She 
then proceeded to stalk around him, studying him as if he were a side of beef. 
"Umm, Usagi-?" he began. ["Oh god! She’s parading around me in her nightie!"] He 
steeled himself firmly, standing like stone. ["Don’t grab her, DON’T grab her!"] 
he chanted to himself, shutting his eyes tight.
"Hmm?" she muttered, bending in close to poke his side.
Tuxedo Kamen’s eyes shot opened in shock. He squirmed uncomfortably, aware that 
a half-naked girl was standing terribly close to him-and he had to pretend not 
to notice! "Can we talk?" He looked at her weakly. ["And maybe kiss? I’ve been 
patient for two weeks, after all."]
"About what?" she asked, coming around to his face. She peered into his eyes, 
trying to see behind the mask. "You know, I've had this dream before," she 
offered shyly. ["But he should know that-right?"]
"What?" he gasped, startled out of his serious train of thought. Usagi dreamed 
about him? Uh, Tuxedo Kamen? He felt like a bucket of water had been thrown over 
him. She liked another guy! HIM! He didn’t know whether to do the victory dance 
or fall down to his knees and wail like a little kid.
"Yes. Waaaay back a few months. You were there and we were going to go for a 
chocolate fudge sundae-" she began.
Tuxedo Kamen's mouth fell open in shock, eyes astonished. ["Taking her for a 
chocolate sundae!? That's it?"] He frowned to himself, mouth turned down. ["This 
really isn't very flattering! Here I am, a caped dashing figure, hero to the 
Senshi and all that...and Usagi...dreams of me and chocolate?"] Of course, that 
last thought took him down another path and he had to mentally slap himself back 
to the present. ["On second thought…"]
"And then you were taking off your mask." Her eyes grew indignant, her chest 
swelling with indignation.
Again, Tuxedo had to gallantly avert his eyes before the distressed damsel. ["If 
she keeps doing that-restraint be damned! I’ll kiss her senseless before she can 
blink!"] Once more, the hero had to steel himself, to stop his arms for grabbing 
for the scantily-clad delicacy. ["Life is so cruel!"]
"-Luna BIT me! And I woke up!" she finished, eyes flashing with anger. She 
looked at him appealingly. "I almost found out! It was SO unfair, Tuxedo Kamen!"
"Luna bit you? I always thought she was such a nice cat." He looked at her 
askance.
"Oh, she IS...sometimes. And such a nag, though," Usagi rattled on, reaching up 
to adjust his tie. He let her, feeling the delicate fingers brush over the skin 
of his throat enticingly. "You should hear her about my homework." She frowned, 
biting her lip. "I swear she and miss Haruna must cook this up between them-"
"Hear her about homework?" Tuxedo Kamen murmured, staring at the blonde in 
bewilderment and worry. ["Is she suggesting what I think she's suggesting?"] he 
asked himself. Was it possible his love was a little-nuts? Not that HE hadn’t 
been over the last two weeks…
"Yes," she replied absently, patting his tie in satisfaction. "You know, I 
really did a good job imagining you. I never realized I remembered you in such 
detail." Her mouth turned down slightly. She ALSO remembered a certain GORGEOUS 
college student in every little detail also. So, what did it mean?
"What?" he asked, bewildered the more. Then he remembered. ["Oh right."] His 
eyes rolled skyward. ["I'm a 'DREAM'."] He looked at her, smiling slightly. 
"What was that about Luna and-Miss Haruna?" he prompted her, when she was silent 
in thought. His proclamations of love could wait till another time-he just 
wanted to hear her voice. And maybe grab a kiss or two a bit later. She had such 
a beautiful voice, his Usagi. ["Well,"] he amended silently. ["SOON to be my 
Usagi."]
"You should hear it, Tuxedo Kamen. Nag, nag, nag. Sort of like a mom I guess." 
Usagi resumed pacing around him, looking for every detail. She disappeared 
behind him.
Tuxedo Kamen stood still, waiting for her to return. But she didn't. He was 
about to turn and see what she was doing, when he felt a startling warmth 
encompass his back and shoulders. His eyes went wide with shock. ["Is she doing 
what I think she's doing!?"] he asked himself incredulously. ["Oh my god! I’m 
NOT supposed to touch her and she-"]
"Mmm, warm," Usagi purred, moving closer to his back. His cloak was wonderful! 
Long and warm and velvety. Usagi rubbed her face over it, as she had always 
wanted to do. Thank the gods it was a dream-or she'd have died of embarrassment! 
Dream Tuxedo Kamen's were just fine though. "Did I tell you-well, not YOU 
because this is a dream-that I love your cloak?"
"Really?" came the rather strangled sounding reply.
Usagi frowned at the cloaked back, hugging closer to his broad shoulders with 
her small hands. ["Why does he sound so funny?"]
"Say something-sexy!" she commanded. The body under her stiffened into a rod, 
making her start in surprise and release him. ["What's wrong? I CAN control this 
dream-right?"]
"Something...sexy?" Tuxedo Kamen repeated, incredulously. He coughed, spun 
around to face her and smiled. His eyes were suspiciously bright though, she 
noted. "Sexy-right," he muttered.
"Anything at all," Usagi prompted eagerly. "Do that-" She flapped her hands 
around expressively. "You know, that deep voice you do! The way you say-Sailor 
Moon..."
"SAILOR MOON?!" he roared. The name of the other girl that he loved on Usagi’s 
lips was all too much for Tuxedo Kamen. His nerves were two raw at that moment-
Usagi skittered back, eyes growing to the size of marbles. She blinked at him 
nervously.
["Sailor Moon? How would she know-oh wait..."] He mentally slapped himself. 
["Duh, Chiba! You're dressed as Tuxedo Kamen! EVERYONE knows that he-ME and she 
have a...thing."] He coughed again, plastering a smile on his mouth.
Usagi slowly relaxed, still looking nervous. "Are dreams supposed to yell at 
you?" she wondered aloud.
"Of course," Tuxedo Kamen said hastily. "You can't control ALL dreams. Right? 
Remember Luna biting you and the chocolate sundae?"
"Right." She smiled, waiting expectantly.
"Right," he muttered. His smile turned charming, irresistible. He knew it was, 
because he's tried it on any number of women-just to get away from them! "Sailor 
Moon," he drawled in a sexy tone.
Usagi immediately squealed in delight, clasping her hands before her chest, eyes 
glittering happily. ["Oh! This is so romantic! Why can’t Mamoru be like this?"]
Tuxedo could have sworn he almost saw love-hearts in her eyes. ["Could it be 
that Usagi LOVES Tuxedo Kamen?"] The thought made him jealous-as ridiculous as 
it sounded. It was HIM, after all. Sort of.
"Say it again! And-with some sentence! Make it romantic!" she ordered, 
gleefully.
Tuxedo Kamen merely stared at her for a long moment, wondering if his love had 
eaten one to many sweets that day. He mentally shrugged, stepped up close and 
swept the scantily-clad girl into his arms. He stared down into her wide eyes 
romantically, lips curved into a seductive smile. And all the while, his mind 
was screaming frantically at him. ["She's fourteen! She's fourteen!"] He paused, 
wincing. ["And almost naked! Cool it, Chiba!"]
"Yes?" Usagi prompted, giggling. Her eyes were like stars.
"Sailor Moon," he said smokily. He tried to recall all he knew about Sailor 
Moon, in order to make this as romantic as possible for Usagi. Though he had NO 
clue as to why she wanted to hear him say this about another girl. Maybe-Usagi 
WANTED to be Sailor Moon? His smile widened wickedly. "Your eyes are like the 
deepest ocean, as radiant as the stars-Your hair is like the finest spun gold, 
even the..." He stopped dead, staring at the girl he held so close to his chest. 
"...odango's," he finished weakly.
"What? Oh no! Rei must be interfering with my dreams!" Usagi said frantically, 
covering her face with her hands. She groaned loudly. "I HATE that name! Take it 
back, Tuxedo Kamen!" she wailed.
"Take-Right," he mumbled, eyes glazed. ["Odangos?"] He looked at her hard, eyes 
focusing. For the first time, he looked at his love closely. ["The same eyes, 
the same hair, same clumsiness...It can’t be. Just wishful thinking huh, Chiba? 
If the two girls you’re obsessed with turned out to be the one…"]
"Tuxedo Kamen?" Usagi peeked out from between her fingers worriedly. He'd been 
silent for so long. What had happened to the speech? "Are you okay? I mean-am I 
waking up or something?" Her eyes were serious and distressed. "Is the dream 
about to end? There's so much I wanted to ask you...to do."
"To do?" He questioned, snapping out of it. ["Nah. She can't be thinking what 
I'M thinking about! Mind out of the gutter."] His eyes rolled heavenward for the 
second time in exasperation. "She's jail-bait!"
"Excuse me," Usagi interrupted, eyes interested. "WHAT did you say?"
Tuxedo Kamen's eyes flew to Usagi's swiftly, filled with horror. ["I said that 
out loud?"] He gasped, "Umm..." He cast around his head for something to say. 
Unfortunately, nothing came to mind at all. "I SAID, do you-like fishing? We 
could go get some bait...and go...to the lake..." he finished weakly. ["Was that 
as lame as I think it sounded?"]
Usagi stared at him incredulously, straightening. He released her reluctantly, 
stepping back. His angel placed her hands haughtily on her hips and 
glared-rather endearingly. "WHAT? FISHING?! Are you crazy, Tuxedo Kamen? Yuck!" 
she said, watching him as if he were nuts.
"Of course," he replied, searching for a way to cover his mistake. ["I'm REALLY 
sticking my foot into this one!"] He thought of something and a sly smile curved 
his lips. He stared intently into her eyes. "But I LIKE fishing, you see. And 
you wanted to know me, right?"
"Of course." Usagi's glare melted into a love-struck look. "Okay, as weird as 
your-idea of romantic is...I accept it." She fluttered her lashes at him. 
"Fishing it is."
"Now?" he asked her, heart sinking.
"Of course! It's a dream...right?" She stood there, waiting. "Well?" she 
prompted.
"Well?" Tuxedo Kamen looked at her, wondering what she was waiting for.
She blushed. "I uh, can't go fishing in a nightie. Since this is a dream-I can 
change my clothes or you can. Just umm, wave your magic wand!" She giggled at 
the private joke. "Or cane," she added.
Tuxedo Kamen realized he was in big trouble right then. Big. He had been in 
Usagi's room for-an indeterminable amount of time. Talking with her in her 
nightdress. And she had been...cuddling him. ["She'll either die of 
embarrassment or kill me when she realizes it wasn't a dream,"] he muttered 
internally. ["DO SOMETHING, CHIBA!"]
"Hello?" Usagi waved a hand in front of his eyes. She was beginning to suspect 
something. ["He’s acting really weird."]
That did it. He had no choice. Mamoru took a deep mental breath. It was up to 
the big-guns now! And it was FINALLY, irreversibly, the PERFECT time for him to 
kiss her! There was no escaping this time and he’s waited SO LONG! "Lets fish 
another time-er dream, Usagi," he drawled. Before she could blink, he'd swept 
her into his arms again, lowered his head, and captured her soft lips in a 
soul-searing kiss. ["Finally…"] he breathed.
["Oh, my god!"] Usagi gasped inside, mind immediately falling into chaos. All 
thoughts fled as he deepened the kiss. She went limp in his arms, overwhelmed by 
the electricity spinning wildly through her body. ["So this is what it’s like to 
be kissed…"] Her thoughts dribbled off at that point.
Tuxedo Kamen pulled back eventually, holding her limp body close. And VERY 
reluctantly! He’d waited two whole weeks for that kiss and BOY was it worth it! 
["I don’t want to leave her,"] he realized, looking down at his love. Usagi's 
eyes were closed, cheeks flushed and her lips swollen. She was panting as 
heavily as HE was from the mind-blowing kiss. Immediately, he realized a 
strategic-and swift as lightening-retreat was in order. He WAS in a young girl’s 
bedroom in the middle of the night AND he’d gotten what he came for. Tuxedo 
Kamen grinned in triumph. "Till the next...dream, my darling!" he announced 
dramatically. Quickly, he spun with her in his arms, picked her up and lay her 
on her bed. He released her, backed away and then ran for the window before she 
could open her eyes. If she realized that it wasn’t a dream-she’d kill him for 
sure!
"Farewell," he whispered, feeling strangely elated, yet like an idiot. With 
swirling cloak about him, Tuxedo Kamen dove out the window, landing smoothly. 
With a last look up at Usagi's window, he disappeared into the night. ["YES!"]
