The two girls walked into the Crown Game Center. Smiling, Usagi went over to the counter.
"Konichiwa, Motoki-sama," The young blonde greeted him cheerfully.
"Hello, Usagi-chan." The blonde man looked away.
"Is there anything wrong?" She asked worridely, she really didn't want him to know her secret.
A look of disdain shown on his face. "Is it true? Are you really Sailor Moon?"
She looked down guiltly, "Hai. Gomen, I really wanted to be the one to tell you."
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Some things need to be kept a secret. Gomen. I just couldn't tell anyone. It hurt me to keep
it from all my friends. Please understand, Motoki-sama."
"I guess I understand. You don't trust me enough to tell me."
Usagi waved her arms. "Iie! That's not it! I didn't want you to get hurt! If you were to know
and the enemy found out...you could...have been.." She gulped, "killed."
Motoki looked up in astonishment. "Motoki-sama," She whispered. "I didn't want you to get hurt."
Tears slowly escaped her eyes. Motoki saw this and quickly embraced her.
"Gomen, Usagi-chan. I didn't know...forgive me."
-----------A few minutes later Motoki and Usagi were once again friends----------
"Motoki-sama, please meet my friend Kagetsu. She's visiting for the day."
Kagetsu smiled and shook Motoki's hand. "A pleasure to meet you, Motoki-sama."
"The same, Kagetsu-sama." He smiled.
------------
"How long have you known Usagi-chan?" Motoki asked as he, Usagi, and Kagetsu sat down on the
stools at the counter.
Kagetsu smiled, "All her life."
"Wow, you must be over 20." He said surprised.
Kagetsu blushed. "I'm much older than 20."
"I couldn't tell." Motoki said smiling warmly.
The human-feline blushed deeper. "Arigato. How old are you Motoki-sama?"
"More than 20." He grinned. "Please call me Motoki-chan."
"Only if you call me Lu- er..Kagetsu-chan." Kagetsu quickly recovered. ::I have to remember...
that I'm only a cat...maybe I shouldn't get too close to him..but he is really sweet...::
Usagi looked at Motoki then Kagetsu and smiled. ::I should leave them alone. I nedd to see
Naru-chan. I need her to understand everything. Not to mention, Luna looks like she really
likes Motoki-sama. I hope she remembers my powers can't keep her in human form for any more than
today.::
"Guys, I have to get going. Gomen for leaving so early. But I have to see Naru-chan."
"All right Usagi-chan." Kagetsu looked at her solemnly. "Good luck."
"Thanks, I'll see you at home?"
"Hai."
"Ja ne, Motoki-sama."
"Bye Usagi-chan." Motoki said before turning back to Kagetsu.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"Osaka-san,is Naru-chan home?"
"Yes, she is. But I'm not sure if she wants any visitors, she had a very traumatic
experience."
"I know. Could you please tell her that I would like to speak with her."
"Hold on." Naru's mother left and came back a minute later. "She doesn't want to talk to you.
Are you two in the middle of a fight or something?"
"I guess you could say that...could you tell her that I just want to explain, she doesn't have
to say anything if she doesn't want to."
"I'll be right back." Again, Naru's mother left and came back. However this time she said Naru
would talk with Usagi.
"Arigato, Osaka-san."
"I hope whatever it is you two are going through, you'll get through it together." Usagi gave
a small smile and went to Naru's room.
--------------
"Naru-chan? How are you?" Usagi stepped timidly into the room.
"Usagi." A depressed voice came from the girl sitting at her desk. "Why?"
Tears already began to well up in Usagi's eyes but she pushed them back.
"I had to. I had to keep it a secret. If I didn't you could have died. Don't you see, that's
why I couldn't tell you. I had to protect you."
"No you didn't. I didn't ask you to." Naru turned around. "I just wanted to be your friend and
you to be mine. Friends tell each other all their secrets. You didn't tell me your secrets. At
least nothing past who your latest crush was. Why didn't you trust me?"
Usagi looked down. "It's not that I didn't trust you." She gave her friend a pained look.
"It's just that I didn't want you to get hurt. If one of my enemies found you and knew you were
my best friend..." She looked away, afraid to say the words, but slowly they came out. "They
would have killed you. Please understand, I didn't want my best friend murdered!" Naru
looked at Usagi surprised.
"Murder?" She whispered.
"They could have and would have. The people I have fought with in the past wouldn't have missed
the chance to weaken me by killing the ones I care about."
Usagi looked at her sadly. "They've done it before."
Naru pressed a hand to her mouth. "Why? Why are they so evil?"
Usagi's own sadness began to deepen. "They are evil. That is reason enough. I was the
strongest one that stood in their way. Unfortunately, with that kind of power my friends and
family are vulnerable. That's why you nor anyone else could know." She paused for a moment.
"I care about you. You are my best friend and I will do whatever it takes to protect you and
everyone else."
Naru stood up. Tears glistened on her cheeks. "Usagi-baka...gomen!" She ran into her
friend's arms. She sobbed into her friend's shirt. "I'm so sorry Usagi-chan! I didn't
realize everything you had been through! Gomen!" Sobs racked the petite girl's body. Usagi
held her friend as she also cried. Her tears were ones of happiness that one of the most
important people in her life had accepted and knew everything her worst secret.
------------
Usagi smiled softly as her friend looked at her. "Thank you Naru-chan. Thank you for
understanding."
Naru looked at her friend. "Gomen Usagi-chan. I should have believed in you. I guess some
secrets are meant to be kept."
She shook her head, "Not from best friends. I'll never keep another secret from you again. You
can trust me now. Now and forever."
"I've always been able to trust you. And believe in you. Now I know so much more about you.
Thank you for explaining, I understand."
Usagi hugged her friend tightly. "Thank you for understanding." She let go of her friend.
"I have to go now. Are you all right?"
"Hai, where are you going?"
"To Mamo-chan's. I need to tell him that everyone knows I'm Sailor Moon."
"Did he already know? Before yesterday?"
Usagi looked at the wall. "Hai, he is Tuxedo Kamen."
"Mamoru-san?! Tuxedo Kamen?!" Naru exclaimed then slapped her forehead. "Of course! You
always had a crush on him, I could see it in your eyes. And the times when you protected me as
Sailor Moon, I saw the same look in your eyes for Tuxedo Kamen!" She smiled, pleased with
herself. "You have never been able to completely keep secrets from me."
Usagi also smiled. "No, I haven't. I have to go, ja ne."
"Ja ne, Usagi-chan."
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
She carefully slipped her key into the key hold. Cautiously, she opened the door. "Mamo-chan?"
Usagi called into the apartment.
"Usako?" Mamoru walked to the door and invited her in. "What's up?"
"Have you been watching the news?"
"No, should I have been?"
"I need to tell you something."
He instantly felt alerted. "Is something the matter?"
"I went to school yesterday and Akurei showed up."
"What happened?" He asked fighting to stay calm.
"I had to transform in front of everyone." She said sadly but added quickly, "But we defeated
her! We don't have to worry about her anymore!"
Mamoru stood there comprehending everything before gathering Usagi into his arms. "I'm so
happy you are okay." He lifted her chin up and kissed her passionately.
"I'm proud of you, my Usako."
Usagi felt warmed by his sincere comment and hugged him tightly.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"I'm so tired!" Usagi plopped down on her bed. Luna hadn't come home yet, but Usagi knew she
would be home soon. Luna wouldn't abuse her power. Content that Luna would be home soon and
that she had healed the wounds between her friends and her family she began to drift to sleep.
It had been a long day.
------Usagi's POV------
"Where am I?" I asked to no one in particular. All I can see is this dark fog. Wait! It's
moving. What's that? I can't quite...make it out...a castle! Odd, it looks familiar, like the
one on the moon. It can't be! The castle was destroyed by Beryl! What's going on?
I feel a little tired. Like I can't stand something. What can't I stand? This feeling,
what is it? Dread. Why am I dreading something? That castle, it's beginning to look clearer.
Who is that man? He is standing in front of the castle. Why is he just standing there? Just
starring at me?
Nani?! Why am I dressed in my princess dress? I really wish I knew what was going on.
That man, he does look a little familiar. I wonder who he is.
"Serenity." He just said my name! He knows who I am! But who is he?
"Serenity, do not fear me." Fear you? For what? Are you another enemy?
Oh no! He's disappearing! The castle is disappearing! I'm disappearing! Someone, help!

How did you like this chapter? The dream is kind of corny, I know. But it is setting up some
stuff in the future chapters. This chapter is pretty much the end of Usagi having to explain
herself to everyone. Now, we are moving onto bigger things and bigger secrets. Ones that Usagi
doesn't even know!
Hopefully the next chapter will be longer too. Thanks for reading. Please Review! Ja ne!
P.S. I'm really sorry about not getting the chapter up last night. I had it all set and ready
to get, then my internet went down. I'm really sorry everyone. I'll try to have the next
chapter also up by today. Thank you for all your encouraging reviews!
