Lunar on a Hot Tin Roof

Music played overhead, and the air conditioner was on full blast, but it was doing nothing against the heat. The five of them practically laid in their booth, cold drinks melting before them. Even the usually composed Ami was splayed out in her seat. Rei was supposed to be in her priestess robes for training but instead wore as little of clothing as possible. As did they all; tanks, shorts, t-shirts, sandals, even she got away with a tiny jumper that had spaghetti straps and shorts that barely covered her bottom.

Makoto had made a fan out of the menu, wafting it back and forth. "Kami it is so hot. Are we sure this isn't a new enemy or something?"

No one moved, but she was pretty sure the question was aimed at Ami, hence why she was the one to answer. "Fairly certain it is just a heat wave. This is just the beginning too; it's supposed to get even hotter. Rei? Anything in the fire?"

Rei said nothing, her mouth melted shut, so she shook her head at them. Minako was pressing her melting drink to open spots of skin. It was gaining a bit of attention. Add in their lack of clothing, and they had several eyes on them. But they were all too hot to care.

She slowly rose, making it to her feet before the sounds of protest came. "Sorry, I have to go. Mom needs help with dinner in this heat and Luna said she needed to speak with me about something urgent. I'll see you guys on Thursday."

Stepping out of the cooler arcade, she realized just how cool it was in comparison, feeling as though the sun was on top of her back. She was keeping her feet off the pavement as much as possible as she feared her shoes would melt to it. They were all glad for the reprieve in bad guys attacking the Earth, the Sailor Senshi finally getting a long-deserved break. But if this heat was caused by a new enemy, she wanted to hurry up and take them out!

The house was dark, now in the shade as the sun began to set. Their air conditioner was set to high as well, and after being outside from her walk home, it felt great. Leaning against the door, she let the chill wash over her sweat covered skin until she shivered, pushing off the door to find her mom.

Luna was waiting for her on her bed after dinner, watching as she slipped off her jumper and put on a long, thin sleep shirt that lacked sleeves, hoping she would stay cool enough to sleep. Her feline guardian was eyeing her carefully. "You feeling alright, Usagi-chan?"

Her brows knitted, "I feel fine."

"The heat isn't bothering you?"

"Luna, the heat is bothering everyone. I'm honestly expecting you to ask me to shave off all your fur any moment now. So, can you just tell me what you need so I can sleep through the rest of this boiling night?"

Luna was still looking her over, and it had her questioning the cat's sanity. "I'm going to be...out of town for the rest of this week. This strange heat is a little suspicious, so I'm going to search around the area for any signs of an enemy."

Flopping on the bed next to her friend, she leaned back onto her palms. "Geez, Luna. It's summer vacation, and it's roasting outside. Why don't you just take a break for once?"

"I'd rather get this all settled thank you. Before the Earth burns to a cinder."

Letting her head flop to the side, she looked over at Luna's big green eyes. "If this is an enemy, I will be there in a snap to take care of them and end this heat. But for now, I'm just going to focus on not sweating to death in my sleep."

"That is fine. Artemis will be going with me…"

"Ohhhhh? So that's it huh? Luna, if you want to take a romantic vacation away, you don't need to pretend…"

"It is NOT a romantic vacation! It's Senshi business!"

The feline flicked her tail in irritation while she just smirked. Luna and Artemis were the only talking cats she had ever met. There was nothing wrong or weird about the two of them being together in her mind.

With a huff, Luna jumped to the window, pulling it open with ease with her paw. The result of years of practice and her fixing the window so she could come and go as she pleased. "I will be back around Friday, I think. Maybe later depending on…. what we find. Be careful and stay out of trouble!"

"Luna, no one is causing trouble in this heat!"

The cat gave her one last once over, concern clear in her eyes, the cat good at emoting especially for a feline. But if she saw anything worth worrying over, she kept it to herself and leaped out into the hot night.

Shutting the window behind her, heat sneaking in even from the small hole, she turned off her light and hoped to just pass out. A few moments of tossing and turning in the heat and she did just that.

OoOoO

The heat was so oppressive, he struggled to breathe, forcing him from his sleep as he sprung up in his dark room. His covers were on the floor, kicking them off in the night. Now his bedroom felt like a sauna, heat coming off the walls.

Glancing around, he noted that his alarm clock was blank. His lamp wouldn't come on either. Jumping out of bed he threw the curtain that blanketed his window open and found more darkness.

"Great...a blackout." He muttered to himself.

Stepping out on his small balcony, he found it cooler out than in. But not by much.

A quick glance at his phone told him it was two am. Two am, and he was now wide awake. His suffocating apartment behind him, he moved with haste back inside; pulling a t-shirt, cloth shorts over his briefs, and grabbing his tennis shoes before heading out. He made sure to take his phone with him, a heat wave and a blackout, he was sure to get a call from the hospital needing help. But his phone was still silent when he made it to the park, hoping the distance from the hot asphalt and wind blocking buildings would give some kind of reprieve.

He was thankful they didn't have an enemy to worry about, not wanting to even imagine being in a tux in this heat. The Senshi had it easy, short skirts and no sleeves. But some of them did have to wear boots, like a certain blonde Senshi his mind always wandered to.

This kind of weather made people crazy, he was going to have enough to deal with without a bad guy making things more complicated.

The blackout seemed to extend throughout the city, but parts of the park were unaffected, the sound of the fountain trickling coming to his ears as he journeyed deeper. Finding the source, he also found himself no longer alone. Case in point, this heat makes people crazy, a prime example before him in the fountain.

All he could make out from his distance was long blonde hair and long legs. A drunk girl was playing in the water of the fountain, splashing all around. Drinking in this heat would only exacerbate dehydration.

He walked over and stood at the side of the large cement fountain, tiers in the middle that spilled over one another into the base on the bottom. He had felt it, the familiar pull the closer he got, but he sincerely hoped he was wrong. "Miss! You shouldn't be in there. I think it's illegal for starters and you could slip…" A flash of gold and bright cerulean eyes pierced him, proving his feelings correct to his chagrin. "Usagi?! What are you doing!"

Flashing him a smile, she backed further away into the fountain. "I'm hot Mamoru."

Stepping back more, she was soon standing under the flowing water, it falling over her shoulders and taking gold with it. Now she was wet from head to toe...in a white shirt.

It stuck to her like a second skin, now see through. If it weren't for her long locks draping over her shoulders, he would surely see her breast, her panties practically glowing through her soaked shirt.

"Usagi, have you been drinking?!"

He was trying to keep his cool, half pissed and half turned on. Okay, more than half turned on. Usagi was running her hands over her body as if she were washing herself all while twisting and turning under the current.

"No…"

Her eyes on him, she gave him a coy smile. "You need to get out of there Usagi, someone is going to catch you."

Twerking up an eyebrow at him, he was worried she was going to catch the tenting in his shorts she was causing. "But, didn't you just catch me Mamoru? Or...would you like to?"

Moving out from the waterfall, she slowly walked over to him, just in reach. He tried to grab her, to pull her out and get her dry, but she dodged him, smirking. "Usagi…."

She giggled; it had a strange effect on him. "I'm not that easy Mamoru. You are going to have to try harder than that."

"I am well aware that you are not easy. In fact, no one would ever say you were."

He was frowning, but she either didn't get his meaning or didn't care, dancing around the fountain. Pulling off his shoes and socks, he stepped into the water and attempted to get the crazed blonde out of it before someone called the cops. It took several tries, her being faster than he ever realized before he caught her. Lifting her up, he carried her out, but she was oddly still. He had expected her to fight him the whole way, but instead, she clung to him tightly as he took them back to dry land.

Her wetness seeped into his clothes, but it felt cool in the heat. The arm he had under her knees was dropped, leaning for her to put her feet back on the ground. But she refused to release him.

"You want me to carry you home?"

He was willing, happy to have the little blonde pressed to him tightly as he rescued her. Even if wet…. especially if she was wet.

She gave him a small shake of her head and twisted, her body going wild. The whole thing had him falling back, landing hard on the edge of the fountain on his ass. The sting and lack of air in his lungs from the event had him stunned, but it was nothing compared to the shock he got when he rallied. Usagi had him straddled, sitting on top of him with her arms firmly wrapped around his neck.

"Usagi...what are you doing?" He really didn't like how it came out, a mixture of a whisper and a moan.

She wiggled, and he held back another moan, her thighs pressing into his hips while warm wetness pressed against his crotch. He was pretty sure the latter had nothing to do with the wetness that covered her now.

Leaning into him, she put her mouth at his ear and whispered against its shell. "I told you Mamo. I'm hot."

Grinding her hips against him, they both groaned, and he pulled her back harshly. "This isn't you, Usagi. What did you drink huh? Did the girls give you something?!"

It was then that he really took in her clothes; although soaked and see-through, it looked like pajamas. Things were not adding up, Usagi was a shy girl. Sure, she was loud and abrasive at times, but even when she did wear a short skirt or a tight top, she was completely oblivious to the lustful eyes sent her way. Many from him.

Now here she was, in the middle of the night, rubbing her wet panties against his cock. "Usagi...stop…"

Her arms still around his neck, she tugged on him, pulling their mouths together. As much as he didn't want to, he found himself reacting. That was a lie, no part of him didn't want to react to Usagi in any shape or form.

Wrapping his arms around her, he pulled her in completely, her chest against his. Her tongue slid across his bottom lip, and he parted his mouth for it. Ravenous, she devoured him, her tongue dancing with his as he met her heat with his own. But he forced himself to come to his senses, pushing her back and getting a pop from their lips.

"Usagi, what are you doing? Do you even know?"

Sitting back, she gently parted her locks, pulling them back off her shoulder and chest to push them to her back. Her shirt was just as see-through on her chest as it was everywhere else and sticking to her skin. Making it possible for him to see every single crevice of her luscious breast. He was losing himself, his hands resting on her thighs and her heat pressed against his, and now she was essentially showing him her breasts. What little ability he had to refuse this beautiful woman was quickly fading. The dreams he had had of this moment not helping either.

Busy staring at her breast, he missed her slipping her hand between them until her hand wrapped around his hard member. "Usagi!"

She hushed him, causing him to look around for onlookers when there were none. But she had distracted him again, her pulling him out of his pants and rubbing her hand up and down him and causing him to groan. "Usagi…"

Releasing him, she pressed her folds against him instead, rubbing herself up and down him. She was wet, the warm liquid seeping through her panties and onto him as she moved against him. "Mamo...please…."

Lost in a haze of lust, he was confused about what she was asking him until she pressed her entrance against his tip. "No! No Usagi. We can't!"

He pushed her hips back, but she leaned her upper body against him, pushing her wet and heavy breast into his chest. "Why?"

Desperate, he searched his mind for anything, trying to be logical when his mind was currently mush. "Because...uh…. we're….in a park!"

She pushed his hands away with amazing strength and got her core against him again. "There's no one here."

"So? You want to just...do this out in the wild?"

Grabbing the back of his head by his strands, she forced his head back and towered over him. "It's appropriate don't you think? I'm about to do animalistic things to you Mamo." He swallowed hard, his reserve slipping. "Don't you think I should be in the wild when I go wild on you?"

Her mouth fell to his again after that, then pulled away to thrust hard against him, her folds rubbing him again. He hissed in her ear, unable to control himself as she nibbled on his lobe. So hard it was painful, she leaned back, pressing into him. He drank her in; eyes hazy with lust, cheeks flushed from the heat outside and in, pink lips parted from pleasure, breast bouncing slightly before him, teasing him. Dark circles stood out under her shirt, and he lost it, wrapping an arm around her lower back to force her into an arch and take her nipple into his mouth. The dark circles his target, wrapping his lips around them and sucking on them through her shirt. Usagi cried out, grinding into him harder.

"Mamo, please!"

He knew what she wanted now, but he didn't know if he could give it to her. Not here, not now, and not with her acting so strange. "Usako…"

Her hand flew down to her panties, pulling them out of the way and removing the cloth barrier, so they now rubbed flesh on flesh. He growled, it coming from somewhere deep inside himself that he didn't know existed, he was getting animalistic as well.

She was back in his ear again, holding his head tight to her chest. "Mamo, please…. I'm so hot."

Hesitating for a second, she took advantage, plopping herself down on his cock and taking him inside her. They both groaned loudly, and he grabbed her hips, pulling her onto him more and putting himself deeper inside. Now she bounced on top of him, taking him in and out from his tip and back up to his hilt.

"Fuck, Usako…"

He bit down on her shoulder, anything to keep himself from coming before her, and she soon cried out above him.

"AH...AH…. OH GOD MAMO…. AH!"

Usagi hadn't been exaggerating, she was boiling. So hot she came faster than he ever expected. But she didn't stop, bouncing on him hard until he saw white, mumbling and groaning against her skin as he came just as hard deep inside her. Only then did she slow and stop, laying herself over him and on his shoulder.

Still, inside her, he heard her start to snore. He chuckled softly, the blonde just as crazy and strange as she always was. But he had to push her hips back to get himself out of her, tucking himself away and carefully lifting her into his arms. Careful when he scaled her house; not wanting to be seen or heard, he placed her back into her bed. He had no clue what had gotten into the blonde tonight, but he would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy every minute of it.

He just hoped she felt the same when she woke up in the morning.

OoOoO

The sun was barely up, and already it was boiling in her room. Something was up with the electricity, her alarm clock flashing as if it had lost power. And the air conditioning was struggling, making it even warmer in her room and house. It caused her languid body to feel even more so, memories of her night with Mamoru flashing in her mind.

Rolling out of bed, she felt the wetness in between her legs, not having washed or anything from last night and she savored the feeling. Loving the soreness in her body even more.

Taking a cold shower didn't help at all, her body burning and aching for more of Mamoru's touch. She even tried closing her eyes and touching herself, imaging Mamoru's hands on her. But it only made her hotter. She needed the real thing, and she needed it now.

OoOoO

He was waiting, knowing she would show up here eventually, power outage be damned, and needed to gage her mood when she did. The full weight of his actions hit him that morning, just what he had done pressing heavily on his shoulders all morning long. And now, close to noon, he knew he would soon face his punishment head-on.

It was clear from the start, Usagi was not in her right mind last night and what did he do? He took advantage of her. There was no doubt in his mind that last night never would have happened if she wasn't drunk or high or whatever she was. That was a whole other conversation, the dangers of consumption.

What if it hadn't been him to find her? What if it had been a sicko? Someone sicker than him, allowing her to fuck him on the edge of the fountain. He wasn't much better than some other creep, and that thought alone had him nearly throwing his coffee cup at the wall. If someone else had found her? Touched her?

Yeah, they were going to have a very serious conversation about her being so irresponsible.

The arcade wasn't much cooler than his apartment or the streets outside, but it was a little. Without looking, he could feel her before she walked in the door, a strange occurrence that had been going on for years now that he had gotten used to. It had never been wrong even when he hoped it was, like last night, and it was right again.

The door dinged above, and his eyes found her, a hunger washing over him at the sight of her. Pale pink and tight, the sundress she wore was almost exactly the same as the shirt she had on last night, skin tight and small. Only the skirt flared out around her hips and stopping just past her ass, the rest held tight to her luscious form. This was going to be a problem too.

Her eyes were locked on his from the get-go, her sensing him as well and he wondered if his eyes looked just as hungry as hers did. He didn't like the glint in her eyes as she stalked over to him, him very much the prey.

She sat across from him but instantly wrapped a foot around his in a possessive manner. He struggled to speak under her lustful haze but forced out the planned words. "Usagi, we need to talk about last night. Do you remember?"

"I remember…"

Her foot started to slide up his leg, going up the inside of his calf. "Usagi, this is serious. What we did….and what if someone else had found you?"

She slowly shook her head at him. "It wouldn't have mattered; I was waiting for you."

Cocking his head at her, he studied her carefully. She still wasn't quite right. "Do you know how silly that sounds? How could you possibly be waiting for me? Especially in that state? Now tell me, what did you drink or take? Did you drink or take more of it this morning?"

Her foot was on his knee now, wiggling its way in between them. "I didn't take or drink anything Mamo. I told you. I'm hot. Still hot. Last night…. only made it worse."

"Made what worse?" Her toes touched his cock, it had gotten hard at the sight of her, and she grinned as he jumped and groaned at her touch. "Usagi...not here!"

Disappearing, her foot slammed back to the floor under the table only for her to use it to push herself out of her seat and slide in next to him. One leg wrapped around his, her thigh on his, while her hands wrapped around his bicep to hold him still against her. "You want me, don't you?"

Her eyes danced down to his crotch, his want for her clear as day. "That is not the point. We can't keep doing this, Usagi."

"Doing what, Mamo? I told you, I'm hot. Really hot. And only you can help me with that."

"Really? I'm the only person who can help you?"

He wanted to believe it, that Usagi was hot for him and him alone. Her craziness had him doubting anything she said though. "I tried to help myself this morning." She leaned in even closer, her eyes dancing around his face as she whispered. "Touching myself and thinking of you. Imagining your hands on me instead of my own. But it only made me hotter."

At some point, his hand had landed on the back of the thigh she had wrapped around him, absentmindedly rubbing up and down it. Her skin was impossibly soft and warm.

Leaving her leg, he quickly checked her forehead for fever and found her far warmer than the room. "Kami, that's it. You have a fever Usagi. That's why you are acting this way!"

He started to pull away, to get free of her hold when she pulled him back hard, her hand cupping his cock in an instant. Groaning, his head fell back to the seat behind, and he lost the ability to think while she brushed her fingers over him. His hand was back on her thigh, gripping it tight when she pulled her hand away.

"Hey, Toki."

He popped his head up, finding Motoki next to their table. Refilling his cup, the blonde eyed the two of them suspiciously, completely confused. Probably due to Usagi practically sitting in his lap.

But the man said nothing about it, flashing Usagi a smile. "Hey, Usagi-chan. What can I get you?"

"Um...just some ice water please?" Now they both looked at her strangely, Motoki showing concern. But Usagi just giggled, "I'm too hot to eat anything right now. Plus, I just had breakfast."

Motoki gave her a smile and a nod, convinced, but he was not. "Usagi, you are clearly ill…"

Her hand returned to his crotch and had him speechless again, allowing her to whisper in his ear. "Come on now Mamo, you and I both know any food would not be good right now. What with all the bouncing I'm about to do on your cock."

That woke him up, pushing her touch away from him roughly. "See! That is NOT the Usagi I know!"

She was crawling across the booth seat, trying to get closer to him again and backed him into the corner. "I am the same girl. The only difference is I say what I want out loud now."

Nowhere to go, she crawled up and into his lap, him looking around and finding a few eyes flash away once he caught them. A few continued to look on bravely. "Usagi, this is a family place…"

"Then let's go somewhere else? To your place?"

"Usagi…"

"Here's your water!"

Motoki was louder than usual too, announcing himself like a parent walking into their teen's room, so they didn't see anything shocking. Usagi pulled away from him, lacking any and all embarrassment at being 'caught' and took her water with a smile. That was when the real show began.

Even though it was small, she somehow managed to suck and slurp on her straw in the most enticing manner. He had watched her for years, sipping her chocolate shakes and even back then it had been a turn on. The difference now? It was completely intentional.

Keeping the straw in her mouth, she tilted her head to look at him, a smirk on her lips. The gooey look on his face was unavoidable, he had lost all control in the matter. All he could do was watch as she released the straw, picked up the glass, and pressed its cold, wet surface to her hot skin.

Sitting back, she glanced down at her legs, long and thin and stretching on for days. Her glass in her hand, she suddenly pressed the glass to her thigh, humming at the sensation. Then she moved it in between her knees and slowly started moving it upwards. At her inner thigh, her legs spread wide, his heart was pounding, and so was his cock, straining against his linen pants hard. Inches from her core, his hand moved on its own, stopping hers and placing his between her and the glass.

Cold on the back of his hand, hot on his palm and fingers, it was a strange and delightful mixture of sensations as he reached under her skirt. Taken aback when he found her pantie-less. "Usagi! You came all the way here in THAT dress without underwear?"

She grinned and pushed against his hand with the glass, her hot skin touching his fingers. He forgot what he was upset about and just glad he could touch her with ease. Stroking her folds with one finger, she wiggled in her seat. When he dipped a finger inside her, he groaned, her tight and wet around his finger reminding him of how tight and wet she had been around his cock last night.

Shooting him a glance, they both moved without a word, hustling towards the back of the arcade. The hall that led to the bathroom was skinny and deserted. So, he grabbed her and spun her back to him, kissing her hard. Her hands went into his hair, holding his mouth tightly to hers while they backed up into the staff bathroom. Motoki would be pissed if he knew they were using it for this, but it had a lock on it. No way in hell was he going to take her to the public ones and chance someone seeing her. He didn't want another soul laying their eyes on any part that he was about to enjoy.

Slamming and locking the door, she pressed him up against it, her mouth sucking and nipping at his as she went wild again. His arms around her waist, he flipped them, pressing her hard against the door instead and her legs wrapped around him. Moving down, he left her waist and grabbed her ass, going under her skirt to touch bare skin.

He lifted her, putting their sexes level. Now the only thing between them was his pants. With his hands occupied, Usagi dipped hers down, gripping him in one and pushing his pants away with the other. She had him placed, poised at her entrance and he regaining himself for a singular second.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Focused on her task, her eyes found his and a grin grew slowly on her face before she tightened her hold around his hips. She pulled him into her, eyes never leaving one another as he filled her up again.

Whatever rationale or control he had was long gone, pulling out and slamming into her over and over again. Her body was banging against the door, neither of them caring in the slightest about the noise they were making or the sting he was giving her as he pounded her.

She was so tight and so wet, he slipped in and out of her while her walls rubbed him hard. It felt amazing, and he was getting close to spilling inside her again. He tried to stop but found he couldn't, his body disobeying his command and continuing to fuck her hard.

"Usako...I should…. pull out…"

This was the second time they had been together sans condom and once was enough. How he could forget such an important item, he had no clue.

Right after the words left his mouth, she tightened around him, her juices running down his thighs as she wailed before him. She called out his name again, and he struggled to retain himself, needing her to finish before he could pull out of her to come.

She went limp, holding onto him tight while he rammed into her few more times, planning on coming on her thigh when her legs tightened around him again. He couldn't hold on any longer, her pushing his tip deep inside her again and forcing him to spray his release all over her womb.

"Usako!" He was half moaning and half scalding.

Panting into her neck, she grabbed his head and wrenched it back, glaring at him. "Don't you dare pull out!"

"But...Usako…"

She released him, her head flopping to his shoulder and kissing his neck. He had never seen that amount of anger from her before, white-hot flames in her eyes when she glared at him. And they had completely disappeared when she looked back at him, filled with lust again already.

"Take me to your place."

The haze was cleared from his brain, even as her cheeks still pressed into his palms and he was still sheathed in her core. But she was wiggling against him, getting him hard again and fuzzing up his mind. "Usako, we need to stop and talk about all of this. You are not acting like yourself…"

"Do you not like it?"

Her fingers were running through his hair while her lips danced around his skin. "It's…. it's not that. You just...aren't yourself right now, and I feel like I'm taking advantage of you."

"You aren't taking advantage. I'm taking advantage of you."

She pressed her lips against his neck just below his ear, and it caused him to shiver. "Usako, I'm pretty sure you have a really high fever that is messing with your mind."

Taking a hand off her ass, he nearly dropped her when she forced his hand to press to her forehead. It was cool. Not cold but not nearly as warm as it had been.

"Huh…."

"I'm fine Mamo. I just want you. I want you so bad."

Her words had him struggling again, his control waning quickly. "Are you sure this isn't just some weird kinky phase? Doing it in public or something?"

His fear was real that she was just going through a phase and would drop him soon. But she smiled devilishly back at him, wrapping her arms around him tight. "How about you fuck me against this door one more time, because I can't wait, and then take me to your place." She leaned in close, her lips brushing his lobe. "Because all I want Mamo, is my body on your mattress."

OoOoO

She was alone when she woke up, covers kicked off and to the floor in a combination of lovemaking and being too hot. Nude, she was still burning up, Mamoru's apartment was scorching with no relief in sight.

Hearing running water, she quickly assessed where Mamoru had disappeared to and waltzed into the bathroom, unashamed. "Usako, what are you up to now?"

Not even near the shower or in front of the curtain yet, Mamoru already knew she was there, and she wasn't surprised in the least by it because she did it too. Knowing where he was within a few feet of him. It had been going on for years now, and neither of them thought much of it anymore.

Pulling back the curtain, she stepped into the shower and stood before him. The water was tepid, but to her, it felt freezing, and she pressed against him to get to it better. That, and so she could press against him.

"Usako...haven't you had enough?"

His hands were going up and down her back, dipping low to caress her cheeks with his fingertips. "No. I'll never have enough."

He liked her answer, grabbed and pushing her against the shower wall. She moaned at his roughness, him finally dropping all his reserves with her and just going with the flow.

Turning around, she pressed her ass against his cock, and he groaned, slapping it hard before grabbing her hips and pulling her from the wall. She kept her chest against it, her breast pressing into the hard tile. Spreading her legs, she got up on her toes to aid him in their height difference as much as possible. He bent down, rubbing and pressing his member against her folds.

Her hands were flat on the wall next to her head, and she slapped the wall with her frustration. "Mamo, fuck me now!" He obeyed, slamming into her up to his hilt and taking her off the ground for a few seconds from his veracity. "AH!"

Her voice echoed off the bathroom walls, and he stilled, making her feel the need to turn around and smack him when he slowly pulled out of her. At his tip, he stopped again and then slammed back in, taking her off her toes again. He was creating a tickle, and itch only he could scratch, and it was driving her insane. The heat inside her was almost unbearable, feeling as if she might burst into flames any second now.

"Mamo…. please…"

He pulled her back off the wall, holding her up against him and off the ground. Grinding into her from behind, he reached down with one hand and rubbed two fingers in between her folds. Soon, he found and pinched her clit, causing her to spasm, her whole body convulsing as she came. Even with the shower water running over them, she still felt her hot juices wash over them. As well as his hot sperm he released inside her.

She couldn't explain it, the need or the heat that kept surging inside her. Or the need to have Mamoru come inside her. But she had to have it, feeling as though she would die without it.

Pulling out and placing her back on her feet, Mamoru kept his arms wrapped around her protectively, the two of them letting the water run over their heated bodies. She leaned back into him, and he planted caresses on her neck and shoulders.

"Okay...from now on, we use condoms."

She pulled violently from his hold, turning and glaring at him. "What?!"

He reached for her, trying to pull her back to him but she smacked his hands away. "Usako, we are playing with fire. You're not on birth control, are you?" She pulled her eyes away from his, looking at the water as it splashed on the tile below. "I thought so. It is probably already too late…."

"Then why bother now?"

His brows furrowed, unable to understand her need. She didn't understand it either, but she needed him, and she needed his sperm. "Usako...are you sure you're alright?"

"I'm fine!"

Her anger was uncontrollable, and it was working well to quell her lust for the moment, ripping the shower curtain back hard. "Usako…"

Ignoring him, she grabbed a towel and made for the bedroom. She didn't bother with her body, focusing on her long locks, the wet strands dragging the floor and weighing on her scalp. The water turned off a second after her departure, and she felt him follow her into the room. His chest pressed against her back, his arms around her and stopping her drying as he now held down her arms.

"Usako, this isn't you. You have to realize it yourself."

She shoved on his arms, him releasing her but not stepping back. "Of course I know! But…. I can't explain it, and I can't stop it." She spun, facing him and pressing her breast into his chest. "I just know that if I don't sleep with you, I will burn alive with my need for you."

His jaw dropped, but then his mouth pressed into a hard line, a hand coming to her forehead to check her temp again. "Maybe you just have a heat fever or something. It is making you say and do crazy things."

"I'm not crazy."

"I didn't say that. But you should be careful Usako, you could end up with anyone if you are like this…"

"NO! Not anyone, you! It has to be you; you are the only one I want!"

Tears fell down unchecked, her emotions everywhere as she bit her lip to contain a sob. Mamoru swept her up in his arms hastily. "Okay, okay, you're not crazy. You are just...crazy for me." He smirked, and she smacked his chest lightly. Cupping her cheeks, he lifted her chin and pressed his lips to hers for a short second. "I'm just glad your lust is aimed at me specifically."

"Of course it is Mamo. I love you."

She watched his eyes go wide for a second but then a smile spread across his lips. "I love you too, Usako."

Getting up on her toes, she pressed a longer and deeper kiss to his lips until he gently pulled her away. "It's getting late. Shouldn't I take you home before you get into trouble?"

"Mamo, I'm 18. I don't have to go home every night or explain myself anymore."

Skipping away from him, she jumped up on the bed and stretched her arms up over her head, wiggling her hips and smirking up at him. Mamoru shook his head at her, a large smile on his face as he tossed his towel off to the side and climbed on top of her.

OoOoO

Day three and the rolling blackouts were still occurring, the heat wave to blame with everyone running their air conditioning on high. The heat hadn't cooled down either, it had gotten hotter. No matter how hot it got and how long his apartment continued to go without power, Usagi was insatiable. Every waking hour was spent with the two of them rutting together like animals. Day four and she was still the same, making him think this was more than a phase or a sickness. And that she now lived with him.

Taking a reprieve, he walked the hospital halls, Usagi only releasing him due to him having to work. He doubted she had moved much, still naked on his bed where he left her this morning after she woke up with him and his alarm. The only clothes she had there was the dress she wore over, and she hadn't even worn underwear with it. Not that it mattered as she had yet to put anything on since he stripped her when they arrived, leaving the arcade in a sex-crazed rush.

But something had clearly gotten into Usagi, the Odango blonde not acting herself at all lately. Her birthday had been almost a year ago, maybe it had to do with her coming of age? Any time he brought it up or asked her what was wrong, she nearly blew her top at him. Usagi had always had a temper with him, his talent for igniting it legendary. However, all he had done was to show her concern. He loved her; had been in love with her for years and she knew it. He had been able to fight off his attraction towards her all that time until he found her in the fountain. And then after that…. all control he had was gone, he could stop himself just as much as she could.

The only thing that really worried him was her need for lack of protection. It was as bad as her need for him in general. Why was it that all the sudden she not only needed him to sleep with her but also make sure he….

"Shit."

A few looked his way, aghast at his sudden outburst. He gave small waves of apology and ran back to his locker, his shift over and needing some answers from his blonde.

OoOoO

His apartment was dark and hot, power was still out. "Tsukino, Usagi! Get out here right now!"

He did nothing to hide his anger, feeling very much like he had been taken advantage of, just as she said she was. At the time, he thought she was joking, but now he saw it was her way of telling him the truth.

Silence answered him, not a sound or even a small hint of movement. Maybe she left? Found a spot with air conditioning. Or maybe she got what she needed from him and was running away now?

The thought had him seething, but then he sensed her. She was still there, back in the bedroom still. Guess she actually just did as he originally suspected, remained in bed naked all day. He took a deep breath to maintain his anger and not let it switch to wanting. If she told him the truth, then he would flip the switch. Probably use them in tandem and fuck her hard. Focus, focus on the anger now, get some answers, then fuck her.

Stomping to the back, his eyes slowly adjusted so when he swung the door open, he could see clearly. Her naked body was curled up on the bed, and she didn't move at his arrival, telling him instantly something was wrong. Rushing to her side, he found her panting and struggling to breathe, covered in sweat. One touch and he had to wrench his hand away as she nearly burned him.

"Shit!"

Taking the pain, he lifted her into his arms, even as she scorched him. It would be fine; his accelerated healing would have him back to normal soon after depositing her. He had been gone all day, his shift from seven am to seven at night. 12 hours and she was somehow still alive while boiling from the inside out.

Gently laying her in the tub, he turned the cold water on and grabbed the shower head, running it over her body. The ice-cold water was making her skin turn pink, but it was getting her temperature down. A few more minutes and several heart attacks for himself later, her eyes blinked open, finding him. A smile curled on her lazy lips, and she closed them again as she said his name.

"Mamo…"

"Shh, rest for now. Your temp is still really high. I'm not really sure how you are alive right now." He leaned his forehead against hers, ignoring the sting of heat against his skin.

Her breathing was a little steadier, but she still struggled a little to catch her breath. "Takes a lot more…. than a fever….to kill me."

He was still running the shower head over her, trying to cool her down more while he stared into her big blue eyes. "You scared the shit out of me, Usako."

Gently brushing her hair out of her face, she leaned into his touch, purring at him. "Mamo...kiss me…"

He gave her a chaste kiss on the forehead and pulled back to find her frowning at him. "Usako, you are barely conscious. Now is REALLY not the time."

Her eyes slanted at him and she snatched the shower head from his hands. "Remember in the arcade, Mamo? You told me I had a fever, but it was gone after you took me in the bathroom?"

He didn't like how the sheer mention of that time had him wondering if both of them could fit in his bathtub. "Yeah."

"And my fever was gone after that, wasn't it?"

It was. It wasn't gone completely, but it had lowered significantly. "Yes."

"I told you I felt as if I would burn up without you. So, if you want me to live, take me to the bedroom, or living room, or dining room, or kitchen, or even on this bathroom floor and fuck me."

OoOoO

His finger threaded with hers, pressing them into the mattress over her head. His mouth on hers, they nipped and sucked at one another without disrupting their rhythm, rocking against one another. They were making sure to do as her 'doctor' prescribed and making love at least once an hour.

Leaving her mouth, he pressed hard kisses into her chin and neck till he reached her shoulder and switched to biting, nibbling all the way down her breast till he had her nipple in his mouth. She cried out, his hands leaving hers and caressing their way down till a hand joined him on his assault on her breast. Taking the free one in his hand, he squeezed and rolled the flesh around.

Arching into him, her release dangling her over the edge, he wrapped his arms around her tight. They held one another close as they came, her crying into his ear while he groaned against her skin.

Slowing and stopping, he rolled away from her. Both panting and sweating, there was no relief in sight from the heat, even as they moved closer to dawn.

Since it was pointless, she rolled back to him, curling into his side. Tracing shapes into his chest, he wrapped an arm around her and held her steady.

"I thought…. with all that had been going on between us lately, that you had forgiven me."

She froze, her fingers poised over his skin as his words settled into her brain. "I have. I did, a long time ago."

"If you forgave me, then why have you been pushing me away?"

Stopping her fingers, she laid her hand flat across his chest, feeling the racing of his heart underneath it. "I was just…. afraid. To get close to you again."

"That night at the fountain, I thought you were drunk or something and would be pissed when you saw me again. But then, we made love again and again and again. I thought you had decided to move on and pick up where we left off. Then I thought that this was all about Chibi-usa…"

She sprang up, looking down at him now. "No! No, it's not like that at all!"

"No, I know. You can't help it. Whatever is going on, you have no choice in the matter. And neither do I because I don't want you to die and I can't refuse you anyway."

Falling on him, she pressed her lips to his hard and pushed as much love and sincerity through their lips as she could before pulling back to look at him again. "Or maybe I fought too long against this. Pushing you away until something inside me snapped, and now all I want to do is make love to you for all eternity?"

"Because you love me."

"Yes. Painfully so."

"And I love you. Painfully so."

He was smirking, but it didn't detract from the truth of his words.

The heat was rising in her again already, and it had more to do with the man she loved being so sweet to her than whatever the virus was that controlled her.

She saddled herself over him, pushing her mouth to his again so he would be ready for her to push the rest of them together again.

OoOoO

Fingers threaded, Mamoru held her hand tight as he walked her into the arcade. The girls were waiting, her late as usual, but this time she had a good excuse! She was fucking her boyfriend, so she didn't die a fiery death! She was not looking forward to explaining this one to the girls, especially the part about not using protection.

He squeezed her hand, gaining her attention. "I'll be at the counter if you need me."

Coiling into him, she pressed her front against his. "I always need you."

They used their stupid grins to kiss each other before parting ways, her struggling to keep the heat in check already. But she was starting to get the hang of controlling it. For short periods of time. The continued heat wave was not helping in the least, nor were the continued blackouts. Her mother had told her this morning on her daily calls home that they were still without power most of the time. It came on for a few hours each day but was knocked out again by nightfall. So, going home was out of the question.

She did pop by that morning, grabbing clothes and changing out of the dress she wore out five days ago. Timing it, so her parents weren't home to see her in said dress, or Mamoru waiting for her in the genkan, she decided to grab a few of her...sexier underwear for some fun. She may be 18 and have more freedom, but she didn't want to broadcast it to her father that she was shacked up with her boyfriend and that they were going at it like rabbits. Even Sailor Moon couldn't explain her way out of that one.

Now she had to sit, surrounded by the confused and stunned faces of her friends, Minako the first to recover. "When did this happen?"

Her grin was contagious, Minako's slowly stretching from ear to ear and causing one to grow on her face as well. "Saturday night. After I left you guys."

"You waited five days to tell us you and Mamoru were back together?!" Makoto wailed.

"We weren't really apart…"

Rei pointed a finger at her. "You said you were taking space. That was almost six months ago Usa. That's not space, that's a breakup."

"Yeah, but I mean come on, it's not like we could really break up!"

"You could if you wanted." Ami quietly mused, all of them looking over at her. "You don't have to force yourself just because you feel obligated."

Makoto flashed her a sad smile. "We would all be…. disappointed of course. We all loved Chibi-usa…"

She quickly held up her hands, feeling like she was stuck in a rut having had a similar conversation with Mamoru the night before. "Guys, it's not like that. We are...soul mates. I love him, and he loves me. Regardless of what we saw in the future, it changes nothing. I would still pick Mamoru."

Something she actually proved to him and herself, being half naked in that fountain waiting for him that night. It was the first night of the overwhelming heat, and she had been a bit out of it. But she had been walking to his place that night, the heat threatening to swallow her whole, so she decided to cool off in the fountain. Mamoru going for a walk and finding her was a coincidence, but their lovemaking was inevitable. Either on the side of a fountain or in his apartment, she was going to him in her lust filled haze.

"Usagi-chan, are you alright?"

Lost in her thoughts, she had been staring at her hands, remembering the feeling of running them over Mamoru's chest and his hard cock. Her face was flushed from it and not just from the heat but also from the reminder of her current issue that she now had to divulge to her best friends.

"No... I'm not actually. I have...a problem..."

…

"So, wait, is THAT why you got back together?" Rei screeched, her shushing her quickly.

"Yes….no…. sort of? It doesn't matter now, what matters is, how do I fix it?"

Minako was fanning herself with her hand, enjoying her tales a little too much. "Hey, don't fix what ain't broken…"

"Minako! Did you miss the part where she almost died?" Rei turned from the slightly guilty looking blonde to her. "Have you asked Luna about it?"

"Oh...uh, no."

"It may be embarrassing, but she might have the best answer for you," Ami added.

"Luna went to search for a possible new enemy. She left Saturday before all this started and won't be back till tomorrow or later." She looked, hopefully into Ami's eyes. "Don't you know what's wrong with me? You're the medical genius."

Ami shook her head. "If Mamoru-san doesn't know the cause then there's no way I would either. This sounds more magic related than medical to me. That's my professional opinion."

Minako pushed up, standing slightly and waving heavily. Looking behind her, she saw Mamoru make his way over, and she melted into her seat. Standing over her now, he put a supportive hand on her shoulder as if he already knew what this was about.

"Well then, Doctor, do you not have a clue as to why Usagi-chan here has been porking your brains out?"

They all hid their faces. Mamoru sighed heavily, grabbing a chair to sit down in, knowing it was going to be a long conversation. "If I did, she wouldn't have to tell all of you and ask for help."

His hand was on her thigh, heat tickling at her skin. It was the longest she had gone in a while without a good pounding from him, and her hold on her fever was starting to slip.

"I don't know, would she?!" Makoto accused, Rei adding her glare to hers.

Mamoru laughed, "I guess I can see why you would think that. I am a guy. But I love Usagi. Each of you knows that, and I would never want to hurt her."

"Even though you did…"

Ami had mumbled it, but they all had super hearing, turning and seeing her turn pink. Mamoru wore a sad smile on his face from her words. "I know. And no one feels the pain of it more than me."

Waving her hands, she hoped to dispel the rising angst. "But I forgave him long ago and moved on. So now, we have the bigger issue here…"

"Which is Usagi's crazy libido!"

Everyone hushed Minako, Mamoru squeezing her thigh as he looked around to make sure no one was listening. Putting her hand on top of it, she moved it a little higher, silently telling him they would need to make an exit very soon.

He stood, pulling her to her feet right after. "Well, now you know the problem and can help us fix it. Until then, I have to get Usagi out of here."

She turned bright red while they all dropped their jaws. They looked as if she didn't just explain the whole issue to them! She and Mamoru didn't have a choice in the matter…. best virus ever.

OoOoO

He was concerned. Of course, he was, the woman that he loved was going in and out of feverish states and saying and doing things she normally wouldn't do. But the things she was saying and the things she was doing….

They were both sweating when they got back to his apartment, knowing the power was out beforehand since they had to take the stairs. The backup generators that ran the elevators had finally given out as well which made walking up ten flights of stairs into his dead apartment all the worse.

It just made Usagi hotter, her jumping him as soon as he shut the door. She really had to twist his arm to get him to fuck her on the floor of his genkan. A terrible burden but someone had to do it. Her body twisting and coiling under his, the floor a little cooler against their hot skin, while he held one of her legs in the air to pound her breathless.

Her bag and their clothes still sat in the middle of the doorway, Usagi leading them over to the couch so she could sit on top of him. She bounced on him at first, him catching her breast from time to time in his mouth to suck and nip on. Then she held him tight to her, grinding into him hard. They were still coated in sweat, but her sweet, hot juices coated the rest of him. Her head went back, calling his name out to any and all in the area. It made his ego swell, a gorgeous girl like her being all his. Her beauty was unrivaled, inside and out and she chose him. Over and over again, she chose him. And now she chose to give him credit for her current pleasure, calling out his name as she orgasmed. Even if he wanted to, he would never be able to hold onto his load with her looking like that; head back, eyes closed, mouth opened wide in a scream, her chest heaving from the exertion, and a pink hew covering her entire body.

He pulled her tight to him, his face in her chest as he grunted through his release, Usagi waiting to stop till he was finished.

Gripping his head, she pulled him off of her chest and molded her mouth to his. He ran his hands up her back, feeling the ridges of her ribs under his fingers. Coming to her armpits, he pulled her back a little roughly.

"When was the last time you ate?"

She shrugged, "The last time you ate I guess."

A wicked smile crossed her lips, and he frowned. "Oral sex does not count as eating, Usako."

Mocking surprise, she sat back a little with her mouth wide, trying to keep it from turning into a smile. "What?! It's protein!"

Lifting her up and off him, he gently tossed her to the empty space on the couch next to him, her giggling as she bounced. "Take a cold shower while I make us some food."

Pouting, he left her there, laughing while he retrieved his clothes from the floor and went to study his refrigerator. It had been a long time since he had her here and his fridge reflected it along with his pantry. He pulled what he had, planning on winging it since she wasn't really the type to turn down food anyway. In the middle of making some version of omurice, hoping ketchup didn't go bad and was grilling a side of eggplant when she cleared her throat behind him.

Her hair was wet and strategically placed, her sitting butt naked on his breakfast bar. "Finished my shower."

"I... can see that."

Wet strands billowed all the way to the floor, hiding just enough of her breast from him while her crossed legs hid the other part of her. Turning away from her quickly, he turned the heat off on the eggplant and flipped his omelet before it burned.

"Really? That's all I get? Have I ruined the mystery between us, and you no longer find me sexy?"

He actually cringed at the thought. "Are you crazy? Usako, you are sitting on my breakfast bar looking so goddamn edible, I'm about to throw this food in the trash!" Glancing back, he found her blushing. "But I need to feed you so just wait a little longer, okay?"

Her smile had his knees going weak as she gave him a small nod. He had to get some food into them quick, or it could be several hours before they came up for air again.

Flipping her omurice onto a plate with a few pieces of eggplant, he handed it over to her and passed the ketchup. She was finished by the time his omelet was done, taking her empty plate and filling it with his food, conserving dishes and water. Holding it out, he laughed as she tried to write, 'Love you' in kanji with the ketchup. Finished, he placed the plate in the sink and turned back to her.

"Our first time was in here. Remember?"

Her eyes were dancing from him to the spot she was talking about. "How could I forget? I was nervous."

"I couldn't tell."

"We were arguing. You were jealous over Chibi."

"And you were jealous of Haruka!"

He frowned, "I was never jealous over her."

Usagi was twisting her fingers in front of her belly, watching as she wrung her own hands. "You were...are my first boyfriend...my only boyfriend. I didn't know how to handle myself when you gave your attention to other people."

"And now you do?"

Her eyes shot up, a glare on her face. "I'm older and wiser now! And I have resigned myself to losing you to any and all children we have!"

"Oh so, we're having more than one now?"

She found her hands again, blush raging on her cheeks while he laughed. A small giggle came from her, slowly raising her head back up to look at him. "Did you save room for dessert?"

Kami, the things that were coming out of her mouth lately. "We should probably let our stomachs settle a bit first. What with you, 'bouncing on my cock'?"

Standing before her, he gently pulled her knees apart, parting her legs and moving between them. "I thought we were letting our stomachs settle?"

"We are. But you offered me dessert."

Reaching up, he peeled her damp strands back, exposing her beautiful breast to him. Putting her golden robe over her shoulders, he pressed her soft flesh to his mouth, licking and kissing his way down. Starting at the tops of her breast, he made it all the way to her belly button, him leaning her back farther and farther the further down he went till she was laying across the breakfast bar.

He dipped his tongue into her little divot of a belly button and then nipped and sucked across the lower part of her stomach from one hip to the other. A small tug had her hips teetering on the edge, putting her legs over his shoulders. They had figured out that, for some reason, oral sex didn't cool the heat that swelled in Usagi. But it was still fun.

For dessert, he had Usagi, licking across her folds and digging in between them to her clit. Running a ring around her entrance and then diving in to taste her walls. All while her nails ran across his scalp and her hips bucked beneath him. Her thighs squeezed his head as she came and he was a good boy, licking his plate clean to not waste a single drop.

Her hold on him became limp, Usagi a rag doll across the counter. She was still panting when he pulled her up, gripping her elbows as he pried her off the marble. Getting her upright to only have her flop over on him, he felt her scorching skin through his clothes.

"Kami, Usako! You're burning up again! Why didn't you say anything!"

She shrugged, half out of it from her fever. "I wanted you to finish your dessert."

Her loopy smile did little to calm him, brushing strands out of her face that was wet again from her sweat. She pressed her lips to his, effectively stoking his own fire as she twisted and pressed her body to his. Now they were both breathless when she pulled away.

"Take off your clothes."

OoOoO

In his bed, they laid on their sides, Mamoru right behind her. His arms were wrapped around her, and his cock was still inside her, having just finished putting her fire out again. They had the doors and windows open, but there wasn't even a breeze, and it made her heat swell even faster than before. So much so, Mamoru was barely leaving her alone, even for a minute.

For now, he held her, his mouth going up and down her shoulder. "Do you think…. I'm going to die?"

He stopped, pulling things out and around to lay her on her back and force her to look up at him. "No! Because I am not going to let you."

"We can't just spend all day every day having sex Mamo."

He seemed to be thinking it over, running his work schedule in his head and trying to make it work. "If you came and visited me at the hospital…"

"No, Mamo, no. That is no way to live."

"Is it really that bad? Making love every hour or so?"

He was smirking, but she was serious. "What if this is the enemy? What if they did something to me to make me this way?"

"To what end?!"

"A distraction? You and I are the strongest warriors…"

His mouth in a tight line, he shook his head at her. "If they were able to get that close to you, to infect you, then they would have just killed you or given you something more…. deadly."

"But it could be the enemy. It's not completely crazy to think that."

"I'm struggling to dislike this enemy. I have them to thank for getting you back."

Frowning now, she cupped his cheeks in her hands. "I should probably tell you, Mamo. Before all this happened...I was planning on talking to you. I just didn't know where to start."

He leaned into her touch. "And just what were you going to talk to me about?"

"Us. You and me, together. I... didn't know if you even still wanted me…"

"I sincerely hope you have no doubts now!"

She giggled, a smile curving on his lips. But she sobered a little. "Mamo, I don't want us to part after this. Virus or not, I want to be with you and only you. If...that's what you wa…"

He crushed his mouth to hers before she could finish, his answer pretty clear. The hands she had on the sides of his face slid to the back of his head, gripping his strands tight but he kept his weight off of her, pulling back after a few short seconds. "How are you feeling?"

The back of his hand pressed to her forehead, testing her temp. "I feel fine."

"Are you sore?"

She wiggled her hips, testing her pain. "A little."

Suddenly, the lights flashed on, and the hum of the air-conditioning filled the silent night. "Thank Kami, finally!"

Mamoru was jumping around, closing doors and windows to contain the cool air. The blast of it hit her, her temperature dropping almost immediately. She felt exhausted, her skin cooling and the heat dying down to a tolerable level. Mamoru was saying something to her, but she couldn't keep her eyes open, letting the darkness consume her.

OoOoO

He kept an eye on her and constantly checked her temperature. As long as the air was on, she seemed fine. So, he searched all he could while he had power and she slept. Unsure what to look up, he set his laptop out on the coffee table and tried as many combinations as he could.

When the power went out again, it was barely dawn, and he had fallen asleep at his computer on the couch. The sun was high when he opened his eyes, her weight settling on him as she straddled him bringing him back to consciousness.

"Did you sleep?"

He eyed her carefully, Usagi in his shirt and he figured nothing else. "A little. Did you?"

She nodded, "Quite well actually."

He lifted a hand to her forehead, her heat rising up again. It was so hot; he didn't know how she stood it.

Without a word, he pulled his shirt up over his head and tossed it elsewhere, trying to pull her into him, but she stopped him with a hand on his chest. "Do you want to have sex with me?"

Confused, he looked at her closer still. "As opposed to someone else? Cause I find that question offensive at this point."

"No, I mean...do you want to have sex right now?"

He pressed his face into her neck rubbing his nose against her skin. "Give me a few minutes, I'm still waking up."

"Mamo...we don't have to…"

"Do you want to?"

"Kami, yes! And that's not just the fever or virus talking either."

He pulled at the buttons on the shirt she wore, undoing them as quickly as he could. "Good. Because I am dying to make love to you."

His lips on her collarbone, she giggled. "No, I'm the one dying." He pulled back, frowning at her. "And I want you to fuck me."

Jumping off his lap, she took several steps away from him, inviting him to chase her. He sprung off the couch, her taking off towards his dining room. The table between them, they danced around it for a few minutes, her trying to trick him and get away. She faked left but then went right causing them to go around again. On the sides of his table; he grabbed the edge, slung himself under it, and slid to her side. She made it a few steps before he caught her after that, pulling her feet off the ground and her back onto his chest; he swung her back towards the table. She squealed and then giggled, him digging his face into her neck and getting a moan.

Back at the table, he set her on her feet and pushed her down over it. He was right, she wore nothing under his shirt, her bare ass now up in his face. He gave it a playful smack, her squealing again in response, and then he split her legs apart.

Poised at her entrance, he leaned over into her ear. "So, you want to be fucked huh?"

Her heart was racing, he could tell by the quick breaths she released across the table top. Nodding quickly, she shook with anticipation. So, he didn't make her wait, knowing her fever was already high as it was.

Bending down, he grabbed her ankles and lifted them to wrap them around his back, her legs bowing to accommodate the position and it opened her up wider. Her ankles locked, he let go to grab her hips and pulled her back on to him hard.

Sitting still for a moment, he let her catch her breath, ramming into her so deep had both of them breathless already. Waiting as long as both of them could stand, he pulled out and slammed back in. He did it multiple times until he felt her begin to tighten. Laying himself over her, he grabbed the edge of the table and used it to pull himself into her.

Their breaths mingled together, breathing heavily. He listened to the sounds coming out of her mouth, her walls rubbing his shaft while his tip was squeezed by the end of her cavern. Her coming only squeezed him more, warmth flooding him from her release. Screaming out his name in addition to all of that had him adding his juices to hers.

OoOoO

Mid-afternoon, the power came back on, allowing him and Usagi to nap together. He held her tight to his chest so if her fever spiked, he would feel it and wake.

He woke due to the heat around him, jumping in fear when he thought it was from Usagi. The power was out again, night falling while they slept and leaving the place pitch, but she still rested peacefully. Naked on top of the covers.

Pulling on some cloth shorts, he left her there, sneaking to his living room and hoping to find some answers. But without the means, he really had no way of getting any kind of clue.

The woman he was destined to marry, the future mother of his child...or children, was suffering and he couldn't do a damn thing other than putting a bandage on a gaping wound. It was fun, the first several days, taking off and reapplying her bandages over and over again. But now they were encroaching on a week of this strange virus and Usagi was only getting better at handling the fire, not getting rid of it.

The apartment was stifling with its heat, Usagi was sure to be up any minute now in need. After chugging a bottle of water, he went about, opening doors and windows. When he got to his balcony, though, he got a bit of a shock.

There in the dark was a pair of green eyes, glowing at him. He released a quick breath and swung the door open wide. "Good to see you, Luna."

"Is Usagi-chan here?!"

"Yes. But she is sleeping now so just leave her."

"I can't leave her! Not during this heat wave!"

"Well, you did once already! And she has been sick since you left!"

"Sick?! Sick how?!"

Luna stared him down and even with it putting his nerves on end, he knew that telling Luna for Usagi would make things easier for her. "She has…. a fever."

"A fever? She's Sailor Moon and the future Queen, a fever is nothing!"

Something told him, she already knew what was happening to Usagi. Her fear of leaving her with him, her disappearance right at the beginning of the heat wave that she just blamed, and her continued glances around his apartment as if looking for something.

"I think you know just as well as I do that it is more than just some fever."

Luna's jaw dropped and then quivered, her eyes welling with tears. "She was fine when I left her. She showed no signs of The Heat."

"The heat?"

Luna's fuzzy face twisted in confusion. "You married a Lunar, and you're a doctor yet you have no clue what I'm talking about?"

"I married a Lunar in my last life, and my Ph.D. is in HUMAN medicine."

"The Heat affects all Lunars starting at age 16. It is the same as when an animal is in heat, it is the need to mate. The only difference is, if they don't mate, their body temperature will continue to increase until they burst into flames."

"What?!"

"But when I left, Usagi was fine! And she hasn't had it before, so I thought Serenity had cleansed her Lunar blood completely."

"She is 18! Almost 19, why hasn't this happened before?!"

"Because it is triggered by heat! Hence why the moon was completely climate controlled. They had learned long ago how to control The Heat. And since Tokyo usually doesn't get that hot and she lives in an air-conditioned home…"

"It didn't kick in. But with the heat wave and the rolling blackouts…"

"Usagi-chan experienced her first one. I'm assuming you helped…. keep her alive?"

"Since Saturday night, yeah."

Luna whimpered and looked at the floor. "I failed her. My poor sweet innocent Princess succumbing to The Heat and forced to come here."

"Um…. hate to break it to you but, Usagi stopped being innocent years ago. As did I."

"She was still forced to come to the man who broke her heart!"

A stab to his heart, he would never forget his mistake. "I never should have left her; I know that now. But she supported my move to America and, even though it took battling Chaos alone, I came back to her. And she was going to forgive me before The Heat, it just...happened this way instead."

Luna took note of his apartment again, only now noticing how dark and how hot it was. "You said Usagi was sleeping?!"

"The power came back on for a while, so she was able to sleep. It woke me when it went off again but she must be exhausted."

He couldn't stop the grin that spread across his face. It made Luna glower at him. "Let's take her somewhere cool from now on."

Luna tried to go before him, but he stopped her, "You should probably let me get her." The feline didn't question him, her fur on her back standing on end. "Where did you go anyway? Did you find any proof of a new threat?"

Her eyes slanted at him. He just couldn't win with this cat. "I'm Mauian Mamoru. I had my own Heat to deal with."

He held up his hands in retreat, not wanting to hear any more of the feline's sexcapades. After all, he still had to look Artemis in the face.

Usagi's soft snores reached his ears as he tiptoed up to the bed. She was sleeping so peacefully; he hated the idea of waking her. Pressing a hand to her forehead, he found her warm but not feverish.

"Usako. Usako, wake up."

It took a few moments, but soon her big blue eyes blinked up at him, a smile tugging at her lips. "Mamo...did you sleep?"

"Yes. And so, did you. Come on, we need to get you dressed and someplace cool."

She closed her eyes again, still smiling. "Hmmm...but I'm so comfortable here…"

"You're not hot?"

"I'm okay…"

She was snoring again before he could say more, pressing a quick kiss to her lips, collar bone, and thigh he left her there again. Luna was sitting in the doorway, watching the whole thing but backed out of the room with him.

"She seems fine now...which is good but weird considering."

Luna has her head cocked to the side at him. "Really Mamoru? Do you remember nothing from your time on the moon?!"

He glared down at her. "Clearly not."

"Have you not noticed that I too am standing here talking to you, without struggle? Even though I just told you I was experiencing The Heat as well?"

His hand flew to the back of his neck, scratching with his discomfort, "I uh…. didn't want to pry…"

"There are two ways to get a Lunar out The Heat. One is to get them to a cooler, climate-controlled location. And the other? Pregnancy."

He couldn't feel his face. "Excuse me…?"

"The whole point of The Heat is to mate! And since Usagi has chosen you as hers, that's what she did. Usagi may have not understood any of it but her fever ties directly to her body's desire to bear a child. Her Lunar blood was crying out for it and apparently, you supplied it. So, congratulations I guess."

Something….in his head…. his brain? it wasn't working….

OoOoO

The sun blinded her when she awoke, doors and windows standing open, telling her the power was out again. Not even noon and it was already scorching hot.

A thin sheet covered her, still naked from the night before, and the bed was empty save for her. A quick glance told her the bag she brought was in the corner, empty. She was a little weak in the knees, but she made it to the dresser, pulling the top drawer open and finding her things. What she brought was the only thing inside, and it didn't come close to filling the drawer.

Loose t-shirt dress and nothing else, she padded her way in bare feet to the living room. Mamoru sat on the couch, reading the paper, but jumped to her side when he caught sight of her.

A hand on her forehead, he looked her over closely. "How you feel? Any fever?"

"I'm a little warm, but I think that's just the heat."

"The what?!"

Mamoru was acting odd. "From the lack of power and the boiling temperatures outside? Are you okay Mamo? Maybe you are getting the virus too now."

"No, definitely not."

She wrapped her arms around his neck and put her face inches from his. "Well don't worry cause if you do get it, I'll keep you alive."

Pressing her lips to his, he was hesitant to wrap his arms around her in return. But he did, not squeezing her as hard as he usually did. "Mamo...what's wrong?"

He was studying her face, searching it for something. "You're sure you're okay? No…. needs this morning?"

She giggled, "I will always need you Mamo, but I don't think it's the virus if that's what you are asking. I feel good. I feel...normal."

"You don't feel any different?"

She thought about it, assessing her body. "A little weak in the knees but you always have that effect on me…"

Suddenly, she was in an armchair, and Mamoru was rushing around the kitchen. "Hungry. You must be hungry. You need to eat!"

Her head was spinning now, turning to look back at him and worry when black fur caught her attention. "Luna! When did you get here?!"

"Last night."

Luna was tense, more so than usual when she was forced to be around Mamoru. "How was your trip? Did you find anything to worry about?"

"Not out there. I shouldn't have left you Usagi-chan. I am so sorry, I failed you."

"Luna it's alright. Mamo took great care of me."

Mamoru walked past the feline, a tray of food in his hands, and she could swear the two of them were close to blows. "You see Luna, I handled it just fine!"

"Handled it?!" Luna screeched.

Mamoru set the tray before her. It was loaded with juice, milk, eggs, white rice, miso soup, toast, and strawberries. "Wow, Mamo, you went all out."

"Anything for you." He placed a kiss on the top of her head and sat across from her to watch. "You need to eat all of that."

Narrowing her eyes and smirking, "You know who I am right?"

He chuckled while she dug in, Luna coming to sit before her on the coffee table. "You're feeling better, Usagi-chan?"

"Yeah." She said around the food in her mouth.

Why was it her good health seemed to bother Luna? "Well, I want you to be the first to know. I'm pregnant, Usagi-chan."

Dropping her spoon back to the bowl, she pushed her food aside to gather her guardian into her arms. "Oh, Luna! That's just great! Little Diana on her way!"

"Yes…. well that is the true reason I went away…. something I understand we shared?"

Pulling back, her eyes danced from the feline to Mamoru who now looked a little guilty. But if he had told Luna about her illness, then it only served to keep her from having to tell the embarrassing news again. "What do you mean share-ed?"

Luna's mouth popped open, but Mamoru cut her off. "She just means she hates the heat too, right Luna?"

The two of them looked ready to pounce one another again, so Luna left for some air. She went back to her breakfast. "We should get married."

Her spoon fell again. "What?!"

"And you should move in here with me until we find a bigger place."

"Mamoru, your place is more than big enough for the two of us but don't you think this is kind of sudden?"

"Truth is…. I have been thinking about it for a while. And you being here with me this last week….it only makes me want it more. I fear the day you go back home, Usako."

He was staring right at her while she blinked at his image, thinking maybe her brain had boiled a bit during one of her fevers. "Of course, I want to marry you and move in with you but don't you think it's all too fast?"

The knock at his door had him shutting his mouth, whatever he was going to say lost. She finished her breakfast in record time, Mamoru seeing to his door.

Blue hair, tentative, walked into her view as she stood to take her tray to the kitchen. "Ami! Hi!"

"Oh Usagi-chan, there you are. I think I found the answer to your sickness!"

Ami was excited. Nearly skipping to the couch with her findings printed out neatly. Mamoru was out of sight, but she could hear and feel him in the kitchen.

"Okay Ami, lay it on me!"

"I'm sorry...I'm a little bit excited about this. I found this in the archives at central, I think you have Lunarian Heat!"

"Lunarian…. heat?"

"Yes well, it turns out, Lunars are very sensitive to temperature. Probably has something to do with them being a race solely brought up in a climate-controlled environment. Anyway, extreme heat can trigger a Lunars mating system."

"Mating system? What am I a robot?!"

Ami was far too into her research to catch her offense. "Almost actually! Looks like your body is just as sensitive. It can occur as young as 16, but since we haven't had weather like this before, you have been safe in your air conditioning, you never had it activated. We need to get you to a cool spot, or you will continue to have the need to mate until this heatwave is over."

Now standing, she made her way towards the kitchen to tell Mamoru the news. "Not sure I have what you're talking about cause today I feel fine. And it's crazy hot in here today."

"Interesting. Well, it fits you to a T with your symptoms. Extreme fever, delirium, sexual desires, and the urge to procreate, hence your extreme aversion to using protection of any kind. It also says, the only ways to stop or cure it are to get to a cooler spot or pregnancy."

Staring down at the bluenette, hands covered her mouth, and it took her a moment to realize it was her own. A small squeak made it out just beforehand, and she slowly turned back to Mamoru who now stood a few inches behind her. His look of worry intensified, turning to straight fear and she realized, he was afraid of how she was going to react.

The tears hit her hands first, her using them to wipe them away but letting them fall to her sides after that, letting the smile on her face show to Mamoru.

"Mamo…."

Taking two large steps, he enveloped her into his arms. He still didn't hold her as tight, but now she knew why. She didn't know how he knew but just figured it was a doctor thing. Mamoru always was quite clever.

She heard Ami say something about giving them some time or space and left. Meanwhile, the two of them stayed firmly affixed to one another. Slowly, Mamoru released her, pushing her gently out of his chest where she had been rubbing off her tears.

"I didn't come to you for this…"

He smiled softly down at her. "I know."

"You want me to move in because of this? Get married because I'm pregnant?"

"Yes….and no. I want it regardless, and I think you know that already."

She managed a nod before meeting his lips halfway to hers. A few heartbeats of sweet kisses and she grabbed his hand to tug them towards the bedroom.

"Wait...I thought you…"

"This has nothing to do with heat, Mamo."
