Hey guys! Yes it's really me you're not dreaming! I have decided where I want to go with this story of mine so I have started revising and revamping it. I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon, just this story idea.

Prologue

Destiny…

Isn't it funny how one word could mess up a person's whole existence? Tsukino Usagi never really liked that word much; especially when she was destined to be 'special' as her mother always liked to put it. You see Usagi was born with certain abilities. At first her mother tried to make her suppress them so that she could live a semi-normal life but by Usagi's thirteenth birthday suppressing them was no longer an option. Her powers were just too much to control.

This was the point in which Jeremiah Xanthis came into her life, and with him his fifteen-year-old godson Chiba Mamoru. Jeremiah was a friend of her mother's, with whom she found she could trust Usagi's secret. Jeremiah then confessed to her mother that he too had similar ability and was willing to teach Usagi how to control said abilities. He explained that Usagi was an elemental; a person born with the power to control the four elements. Thus began a year of training in which Usagi had to live in Jeremiah's home to safeguard against her untamed powers accidentally hurting her family and friends at school. It was during this year that Usagi realized another part of her destiny, continually fighting with Chiba Mamoru, which in her opinion didn't seem fair. The guy was gorgeous and when caught on an off day he could be really nice.

Mamoru was an enigma. He had the potential to be the most popular guy in school yet he continually kept to himself. Though he did have many girls trying to get a chance at him, he never really seemed to take interest in many of them. As much as he infuriated Usagi, she couldn't help but admire him. To her he was beautiful, intelligent… a mystery. A puzzle for her to figure out and she loved puzzles! As time went on Mamoru and Usagi came to some sort of an understanding. Though they still fought, there were times when Usagi felt depressed or lonely and he would always be there to talk to, and visa versa. He also helped her in controlling her abilities. Though he didn't have the same abilities as her and his godfather, he had the ability to heal. And that had a way of draining him like her powers did if he used too much energy. He taught her how to only use what she needed and no more; Mamoru was always the master of control.

By her fourteenth birthday when she was able to move back with her family Usagi was beginning to believe that destiny wasn't so bad. That is until she met Luna; the only cat in the world that could talk… well, one of the only cats in the world that could talk. And isn't it ironic that the first words the cat uttered to her were that she had to risk her life to fight evil and save the world? According to her it was Usagi's destiny. It was from then on that no matter where she turned Usagi heard that word. It was her destiny to be Sailor Moon, and be the leader of the Sailor Senshi. It was their destiny to find the Moon Princess and protect her from the Dark Kingdom.

This new path in her destiny took a lot of her time away from her studies which she had excelled at before especially when Jeremiah was home schooling her. This started a new war between her and Mamoru. He couldn't understand why she was allowing herself to be so distracted by her new friends. Also, though he would never tell her, he was jealous that she spent more time with the girls than with him. Then one day she found out that Mamoru was Tuxedo Kamen, which made their shaky friendship stronger…

She and Tuxedo Kamen had to take on a very strong youma on their own. The other Senshi were on the other side of the city at a carnival, but she was grounded and she could not go. The battle was hard and it took everything they both had to defeat the youma. When it was over they both sat on the grass to get some of their strength back. Sailor Moon looked over at Tuxedo Kamen and started to thank him, but noticed that his tuxedo jacket was slashed and his arm was bleeding.

"You're hurt Tuxedo Kamen!" she exclaimed.

He looked down at his arm. "It's nothing. I'll be fine."

"No it might be infected. Let me look at it, it's the least I can do after you helped like that."

Tuxedo Kamen finally relented and she pulled a first aid kit form her sub-space pocket.

He raised an eyebrow. "What else do you have in there?"

She never answered just asked him to remove his jacket. When he began to unbutton his shirt she blushed and averted her eyes.

"How do you expect to clean the cut if you don't look at it?" he teased.

She turned back to him and found that he had left the right side of his torso covered while the left side was bare so she could have better access to the wound. She commenced with cleaning and bandaging his wound, a soft pink permanently tinting her cheeks. Her eyes kept glancing at his abs and she couldn't help but wonder if they were as hard as they looked.

The clip she used to fasten the bandage was in the shape of a pink flower. He couldn't help but chuckle at that. When she was through he dressed himself and stood, before helping her to her feet.

"Thank you Sailor Moon."

"No, I should be thanking you Tuxedo Kamen. If you weren't here I would probably be dead right now."

His grip on her hands tightened. "Don't ever speak like that! You are strong, stronger than you even understand Sailor Moon. You must believe that."

She smiled slightly, "At least you have faith in me."

"So do your friends. I have to go. Be safe Sailor Moon." With that he left.

The next evening found Usagi walking through the park after dinner. She found herself at the spot she and Tuxedo Kamen had been the day before. She stared up at the moon wondering where he was at that very moment. The wind picked up; causing her to shiver and she wrapped her arms around herself. A jacket came around her shoulders and she snapped her head around to see who it was, finding Mamoru standing behind her.

"What are you doing out here so late?" he asked sitting down next to her.

"I just wanted to get out of the house."

The wind ruffled his sleeve and she saw a flash of white. Without hesitating she lifted the sleeve to find a bandage. She narrowed her eyes suspiciously, her heart hammering against her rib cage.

"How did you hurt your arm?" she asked almost breathlessly.

Mamoru touched the bandage subconsciously, "I just got it scratched on something."

He had changed the bandage that morning. The cut was almost healed, but it was a lot deeper than he had thought at first. He may have the power to heal others instantly but it didn't work that way with him; while he did heal quicker than normal people cuts like the one the youma inflicted took about a day or two. He had no idea why he had put back on the clip Sailor Moon had given him, but he did. Maybe it was a way of keeping her close. Recently he had been finding himself strangely attracted to her. Maybe it was the many times they had fought together and the fact that he felt compelled to protect her.

He turned his arm to look at the clip, and heard Usagi gasp. He looked up at her in concern only to see her watching him in wide-eyed disbelief.

"Tuxedo Kamen?"

Mamoru froze, "W-what?"

How had she known that? He couldn't remember meeting Usagi at anytime in his alter ego. And if he did what had he done for her to figure it out?

"You're Tuxedo Kamen!" she said in an accusatory voice.

Mamoru was too shocked to deny what she said.

"How did you…?"

"That's my bandage clip you're wearing," she grinned.

Mamoru came close to having a heart attack at that very moment. It took him a while to reply to her, and when he did his question was choked out.

"You're Sailor Moon?"

She nodded, beginning to become excited. "I can't believe you're Tuxedo Kamen! I mean it does make sense now about why you felt so familiar."

When the initial shock wore off they sat and talked until Usagi's cell rang with her mother yelling that she come home right that instant. They both parted ways knowing that their relationship would only get stronger from then on.

…And that is how it went, after each battle, after each near death they spent more and more time together until they were inseparable. Everyone kept waiting for the day they both realized that they were in love with each other. They had long to wait; however, because after four years of friendship they still didn't realize what was under their noses. This frustrated their friends to no end, most of them just wanted to go up to them and force them to see reality. Everyone thought they would make the perfect couple. Sure there were fights and lots of arguments but they never stayed not talking to each other for too long.

In those four years they found out that Mamoru was Prince Endymion of Earth and they found his Guards or better his Guards found them. The Senshi weren't very trusting of the Guards when they first arrived because they were the carbon copies of the Dark Kingdom Generals, even when they explained that the Generals were clones it was hard to trust them. The fact that Mamoru remembered them was the only thing that kept the Sailor Senshi from killing them. After a while they began to trust them, and slowly but surely each Senshi began to form relationships with them.

Around that time Sailor Neptune, Uranus, Pluto and Saturn showed up to help them out, making their group even larger. They didn't usually stay for long periods of time only for as long as they were needed, but the girls became good friends anyway. They hadn't found the Moon Princess yet but no one seemed to worry too much about it. Luna would mention it once in a while if she thought they were going off course, but that was about it for mentioning her.

It didn't occur to Usagi that the Princess' existence would threaten what she had with Mamoru. She knew they were connected in some way; they were probably betrothed, she had guessed once when he told her about the dreams. Those dreams had stopped; however, when they had found the crystal. Things couldn't have been better. For the first time since destiny had entered her life, Usagi was happy and content. But as the saying goes; all good things must come to an end…
