Miracle Romance


A Sailormoon "short"  by natia_99

Rated:  G

Disclaimers:  Alright, alright...I confess...I am Naoko...the charade has gone

AN:  Just a little shorty I wrote.  There was such a pretty romance at the 
VERY beginning of the show when Tuxedo Mask was romantic and kissed Usagi 
at the masquerade...sigh...I thought it would be sweet if Usagi felt the 
same connection that Mamoru felt to her....;)



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@





Tsukino Usagi found herself roused from sleep by a strange sensation.  

It was dark,  the night was thick and heavy.  

She crept to her window and clutched involuntarily at her heart.  

For it was aching.  She didn't know what to make of it. 



~Why is my heart hurting?  What is this strange pull I feel?~



It took a long moment for sleep to shake itself from her and her mind to 
clearly discern that she was feeling the pain of another....not herself...



~What does this mean?~


She looked over and found Luna sleeping peacefully.  Then she pulled on a 
sweater and jogging pants and crept sofly out her window and jumped to the 
ground.  

Following the pull she came to a secluded clearing in the park.....not far 
from where they had battled the youma earlier.  

And there, crumpled in a shaking heap, was the last person she expected to 
find..."Mamoru-san?!"

He looked up and she felt her heart squeeze painfully in her chest, his eyes 
and face where full of tears.

She rushed over to him without another thought.

"What's wrong?!"

He looked at her in utter despair, "I--I woke up here and I don't know how I 
got here....I was just laying on the ground...with this in my hand!"

He held up a single, long stemmed red rose and she gasped.

"I don't understand what's happening to me!  I keep having black outs and 
waking up in strange places!" 

His voice was laced with fear.  

Usagi felt her own face blanch.  Roses....blackouts....not far from the last 
battle.

She looked deep into the fierce blue eyes before her and knew she was staring 
at the face of Tuxedo Mask....





~He's Tuxedo Mask!  And he doesn't know!  Why would I be brought here to find 
this out?  What does it mean?~



She looked at his disoriented face and felt a wave of familiar tenderness creep 
over her...she gathered him up in her arms and murmured words of comfort softly 
in his ear.  

Then she pulled him to his feet and got him home to sleep.

When she finally got herself home to bed she felt oddly at peace.  

She'd have to figure out this strange connection between them tomorrow...



**********************************The Next Day*******************************



Usagi walked towards the arcade as usual.  She was both eager and afraid 
to see Mamoru.  And she was uncertain as to how much she should tell Luna...
she was already so suspicious of Tuxedo Kamen...

Suddenly she found Mamoru in front of her, gently arresting her with his 
hands on her shoulders.

He looked cautiously in her eyes with something akin to awe painted over 
his features.

"Was it all a dream?"  He breathed.

She smiled and blushed softly, shaking her head, "No Mamoru-san."

"How did you find me?"


She frowned a little, unsure of what to tell him....but she couldn't lie so 
she told the truth.

"I felt it...here..."  she said and put her hand over her heart.

He stared into her eyes a long moment, "Who are you?"

She tried to laugh this off, "I'm Usagi silly!"

"No I mean really!"

"Mamoru-san....I...I can't tell you that.." she said suddenly serious.

"Why not?"

"Because...."

"Is there something you're not telling me?"  He queried softly, pressing into 
her shoulders sofly, making her shiver.

"I--no--I mean--I--"

Something fell from his pocket and clattered to the ground.  They both 
stopped and looked at it. A gold, star locket.  

Mamoru knelt down and Usagi followed suit. As they both reached for it, 
it began to play...a beautiful, haunting melody...

They stared from the locket to each other.

A strange feeling overcame Mamoru and he leaned over and gently kissed 
Usagi, her eyes closed she murmured, "Oh Tuxedo Kamen..."

He pulled back abruptly, "What did you call me?!"

She blinked rapidly, "I...I don't know...I just sort of...I was overwhelmed 
and I..."

She trailed off even more incoherantly.

He paused in thought, "Am I...am I...Tuxedo Kamen?"

She watched the realization dawn on him.  Then he looked at her strangely, 
"Sailormoon?"

She caught her breath, "Yes?"

He sighed and pulled her to her feet, picking up the locket he tucked it 
gently into her hand.

"I protect and guide you....but there's something else..."

He trailed off, keeping his hand around hers, leaning in closer, causing her 
breath to stutter.

"I feel as though I've known you before....somewhere...this feeling...it pulls 
me to you..."

"And me to you.."  she said softly.

And before he knew it he was kissing her....in the middle of the street, 
locket tucked in her hand...reunited...the miracle romance began again....
