Crystal of Love
Chronicle Three


	"Tuxedo Kamen? Daijobu?" Sailormoon asked as she turned to the 
form of Tuxedo Kamen sitting up groggily.
	A little being of ice ran through her veins and stopped in the 
middle of her chest.
	She couldn't breathe.
	Tuxedo Kamen sat up-
	His mask lay on the ground.
	"Tu-tuxedo Kamen?" Sailormoon stuttered. He turned towards her, 
and his eyes widened when he realized he wasn't wearing his mask. 
Quickly, he jumped towards her, gathered her in his arms, scooped up his 
mask, and was gone in a split second as the other senshi turned around.

*On top of no paticular building, a prop for my writing which will be 
erased once this scene is over*

	"Mamoru-san? Why are you Tuxedo Kamen? WHY?" Usagi, demorphed, 
asked confusedly, her feelings for Tuxedo Kamen- no, Mamoru, spiraling 
about her in a whirl of emotion.
	His back to her, he answered, "Because...I need to know my 
identity." He turned towards Usagi, his eyes soft, almost vulnerable, 
but still stormy and unfathomable. "I have dreams, Odango atama, about a 
princess...She's beautiful, and she calls to me."
	He sighed, and Usagi almost wanted to go and hug him, tell him 
noone could ever hurt him again...*NANI?!!! Where did that come from?*
	"I'm a child orphan, Usagi-san,"
	Usagi's breath caught. *What about Odango atama? Wait a minute, 
did he say-*
	"My parents were killed when our car went off a cliff. I was the 
only one who survived, and I had amnesia."
	Usagi stared at him, caught in his gaze, *Why do I feel like I 
want to stay with him forever...This feels so familiar, like I know him 
from somewhere...Tuxedo Kamen, always saving me and making my heart 
pound...He's Mamoru, the guy who always insults me in the street 
and...and...does the same thing to me...*
	Mamoru walked closer to her, almost caught in a spell. Suddenly, 
quickly, his mouth bent and captured hers. Usagi's arms went up, to pull 
him close to her, but he was gone, and only his voice remained. 
"Goodbye, Usako..."
	*What just HAPPENED?* She screamed to the far corners of her mind. 
*WHY IS HE DOING THIS TO ME? AND WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THIS?* She morphed 
back to Sailormoon, jumping across buildings, to get to Rei's. *If I'm 
Usako, he must be...Mamo-chan...*


Usagi:*VERY gleeful* FINALLY! A good scene between me and Mamo-chan! 
*She clutches his arm to her*
Mamoru, uncomfortably: In the terms of this fic, anyway...
Crystal: WILL EVERYONE STOP -BLEEP- SAYING THAT! Go away, 
Naoko-sama's creations, if you can't be nice! 
	
*Long Pause*

Crystal: Now, on with the fic... Again... Hey, why are you her anyway? 
Why am I here? What is peoplekind's role? What is the meaning of life? 
*Her voice trails off as we head back to the fic, babbling something to 
herself about chocolate Wagon Wheels and Dr. Pepper.*
	
	Usagi walked home from Sendai Hill, Rei unable to find anything 
out about her dreams. She had been tired of waking up each night with 
such a sense of pain and loss it made her want to cry. She had, on 
several occasions. *If I love the man in my dreams so much, why do I 
feel this way about Mamo-chan?*
	She heard someone laughing evilly in front of her, and looked up 
to see Kunzite, holding a dagger above him, about to thrust it into her. 
She stared at him, almost incomprehending for a moment, when a white 
flash broke the crystal dagger in half. Kunzite looked up for a moment, 
then quickly shimmered back to the Dark Kingdom, a boomerang headed for 
him. 
	Tuxedo Kamen watched helplessly from outside a forcefield, 
pounding to get through, unable to. "Usako!" He cried.
	Kunzite shimmered back, a beam leaving his hand and heading for 
Usagi. 
	Tuxedo Kamen broke through the forcefield. *Not Usako!* He leapt 
in front of her.
	Usagi stared at Tuxedo Kamen falling in front of her, into her 
arms. "Mamo-chan?" Unvoluntarily she morphed into Sailormoon in only a 
split second. "MAMO-CHAN?! NOOOOO!"
	Her tiara changed again, to a different crecent-moon design, then 
broke away-
	Sailor V, watching from the top of one of Tokyo's many buildings, 
watched in dismay, not resisting when her crecent moon faded out and 
became a Sailorsenshi tiara, with a yellow-orange stone.
	-a crecent moon was revealed as Usagi's shape blurred and became a 
flowing white gown, Usagi if it was Usagi, not noticing as she clutched 
Tuxedo Kamen to her. "Mamo-chan," she whispered.
	He reached up a hand to carress her cheek. "Serenity," he said 
softly.
