It was another typical night in the city of Tokyo. Five guardian sailor scouts were fighting a battle against multiple youma, victory surely within their grasp. A masked hero in a tuxedo stood hidden above a building's roof top, observing the fight below. The scouts seemed to have the battle well under their control, so he decided to just stay hidden and watch, and intervene should they need his help.

As he stood watching them he couldn't help but shiver against the bitting, cold wind. Weather reports stated it was one of the coldest nights in Tokyo history. Despite being fully clothed in a suit and a cape wrapped around his shoulders, he could feel the frigid air seeping down to his bones.

How on earth could they fight dressed in such skimpy clothes? Aren't they freezing? he thought.

He was concerned for their health, but couldn't help but feel more worried for the smallest member of their group. Sailor Moon, she calls herself. Such a small and delicate beauty, but quite clumsy and tenacious at times when fighting to protect others too. He felt drawn to her every time they were near each other.

—- Battle scene below —

"Ok everyone, seems like only 2 youma left now. Let's get this over with so we can go home. I got a hot date with this guitar player I met at the coffee shop later," the blond guardian of love and beauty stated.

"Venus, we have school tomorrow. I don't think it is wise to be out so late on a school night," replied the blue haired guardian of water and wisdom.

"Aww give her a break Mercury. A girl's gotta go out and find her true love ya know? She can't do that by sitting around in her room," reasoned the brunette haired guardian of thunder and courage.

"Really Jupiter, if true love is real then you don't have to go out to find it. If it happens, it happens," the raven haired guardian of fire and passion stated.

"Mars, do you not believe in true love?" the golden odango haired guardian of love and justice asked before being hit by a youma attack.

*SPLASH!*

"Sailor Moon!" the scouts shouted as they ran to help her.

One of the youma had escaped from Sailor Venus's Love Chain and directed an attack against Sailor Moon, and as a result she had fallen into a nearby fountain.

"Sailor Moon!" Tuxedo mask shouted as he jumped from the nearby roof top.

Running to her side he threw with accurate precision, sharp tipped roses to the hearts of the youma, vanquishing them instantly. As the other scouts helped her out of the fountain, he immediately took off his cape and went to wrap it around her.

Standing in front of him was a very wet and shivering Sailor moon. Despite being dripping wet in freezing cold water, she almost looked ethereal with her pale golden hair clinging to her body and skin almost translucent in the moonlight. Drops of water clung to her long eyelashes, making her cerulean blue eyes even brighter. As he wrapped his cape around her, she gazed up at him with a dazed expression.

"Thank you, Tuxedo mask." she replied softly, before shivering against a small breeze. He almost held her against him to give her some of his warmth but the other scouts pushed him out of their way.

"Sailor Moon, let's get you home and warmed up before you catch a cold!" Mercury worriedly said.

"I'll make you some hot tea to help you warm up. I'll even bake some of your favorite cookies." replied Jupiter.

"You really should have been paying more attention to your surroundings Sailor Moon," Mars lightly scolded but face full of concern.

"Alright let's all stop the fussing and get her home quick. A hot bath will fix her right up," Venus chided.

Encircling their leader, the 4 scouts linked their hands and began teleporting themselves to another location. Sailor Moon took one last look at Tuxedo Mask for the night before they disappeared, leaving his wet cape on the ground where she had stood.

Usagi. Was his last thought before picking up his cape and vanishing into the cold night as well.
