Comments: Hi everyone! One of my reviewes requested that I write a Fanfic where Usagi discovers Mamoru's secret identity before he does, so I decided to dig out this old Fanfic I never finished. Weirdly enough, there was only one Chapter not finished, that prevented me from posting it. This was Chapter Five. I already wrote Chapters One-Four and then later on Chapters Six-Seven, but I had trouble filling it in. O.o This has been revised over many hours today and Chapter Five is already being written as we speak. I should be done with it tonight or tomorrow. Oh, and you're getting it before it goes to my editor. I'll upload the edited versions later. The beginning meeting with Serenity and Setsuna is a brand new addition, since it flowed well with the end of the plot. The Chapters have all been changed too, since a lot more was added into most of the scenes. The Fanfic also stretched from Eight to Ten Chapters.

By the way, if you've been to Destiny's Gateway and enjoyed it, please consider helping us out by donating. We're buying space for another two years, and having a little trouble raising the money because I can't work due to my injury. It would be much appreciated.

Original Notes: Well, I know I said I'd do another Chapter of 'Spin The Bottle' or that Challenge I sent out-but well, this fanfic was really about four stories that I'd written different Chapters on and really didn't go anywhere. So I added them together::Grin:: I change a few scenes, add a few so that it flows smoothly and yay-a large fanfic is born! Enjoy! Oh, and this first Chapter should look familiar to you all-I think I released it a while back...but only the first part and with this same title. :)

Dedications: This is for all of you who support me so much with their love and kind words with both my writing and my unfortunate illnesses! Love you guys::Group Hugs::

Donations: I feel bad asking for help to keep my Site 'Destiny's Gateway Archives' going, but I'd hate to see it go down for the first time in the eleven years since it's been running. ::Sigh:: We need to raise a further $100 US to buy space for another two years. Donations can be made from . The link is in my Profile.

TAKE ME ON

By Princess Destiny

Chapter One

The green-haired Senshi of Time stared at her lovely Queen patiently. "Your move, Serenity." She prompted.

Neo Queen Serenity looked down to the elaborate crystal chess board before them on an oak table set off to the side of the royal chambers. She bit her lip. "You know that I am no good at this game, Setsuna," She accused cheerfully, slender fingers hesitating over a pawn.

"I know it, but you need the practice," Sailor Pluto smiled mysteriously. "You are a brilliant strategist when you put your mind to it. How else would this world and Crystal Tokyo be so peaceful?"

A scowl crossed the beautiful features, then an amused twinkle sparkled in her silver eyes. "Very funny, Guardian of Time." She finally made her move with a knight that looked like Sailor Jupiter. "But we both know that I am still Tsukino Usagi at heart."

"More than you think," The older woman remarked. She looked down at the garnet orb that lay on the end of the table, atop her staff. "History should be making itself right about..."

"History?" The young Queen mused gently. Her eyes narrowed on her adviser's face in suspicion. "Setsuna, surely you are not looking at that." She exclaimed in displeasure.

"-Now." The Senshi of Pluto finished her sentence, a look of intense satisfaction curving her lips. Her red eyes focused on the board, and she swiftly moved the Queen into check.

The sounds of dozens of shrieking children filled the Arcade, echoing uncomfortably to the adults ears-and mostly...the girls it was aimed at. However, since it was for a good cause, Motoki had a big grin on his face.

Some of his guests were not as happy, as could be seen on their faces.

"Tell me again, what we're doing here, Sailor Moon?" Sailor Mars gritted out from the side of her mouth, trying to keep a smile plastered onto her lips at the same time. A little girl swung back and forth behind her, hanging onto the purple bow on the rear of her fuku. Well, that answered the question as to whether the bow was purely ornamental. It clearly wasn't coming undone, despite the wear and tear. Another child clung to each leg and one was yanking on her hand rather painfully.

Sailor Moon giggled, signing the doll that she was holding on the leg. Of course, it was a plush Sailor Moon doll. She scribbled her name down as neatly as she could manage and handed the doll back to a glowing little girl, deciding to stay knelt down, since all the kids were that small.

"Thank you, Sai'or Moon!" the girl gushed, smiling and showing a mouth full of missing teeth.

The blonde girl grinned back and ruffled the girl on her head fondly. "You're welcome!" She said cheerfully. Sailor Moon looked about her with interest, but because of the crowd of children and parents, she couldn't see much beyond the ring about her and the Senshi. Motoki had sure picked a wonderful spot to give these kids some joy with their favourite Sailor Senshi. Mars was not a happy camper though.

"I can't take any more. Have mercy, oh great leader." Sailor Jupiter groaned good-naturedly from the opposite side. She was complaining, but her green eyes were lit with happiness. Not having grown up with a family, being in this setting was pure heaven for her.

"Hello? Mars to Moon? I asked you how the heck you got us into this mess!" Sailor Mars said from between clenched teeth, quickly sighing autographs as soon as they were thrust at her. She smiled at the adults about her, trying not to let her feelings of aggravation show. She had duties at the temple, and they didn't include baby-sitting. The Senshi sighed. Maybe she just didn't like kids?

"It's for a good cause-remember?" Sailor Moon said sweetly, smiling also. But her lips were curved in a more wicked manner than her friend's fake one. She was actually quite amused by Mars' reaction. The priestess thought that she didn't like children, but it was plain in the way she touched their hair or shoulder gently, that she did care. "The Children's Hospital?" She went on seriously. A better cause they could not have volunteered for.

And from Motoki's proud grin, he was totally and utterly in bliss. He liked children also... Which was why he had come up with the idea for the Senshi to have a 'meet and greet' day, strictly for the hospital's kids. The food he was selling in droves sure didn't hurt either!

"Oh-right," The priestess rolled her eyes. She sighed, taking another child's piece of paper and scribbling her signature on it. When was their break? Did they even get one? Her heels were killing her. This had to be the longest stage the Senshi had been transformed for.

The boy beamed at her. "Thanks!" he shouted, pushing his way through the crowd and disappearing.

"It is for a good cause," Mercury said, coming around from behind everyone. Immediately, she was bombarded by hordes of screaming fans-wielding paper, dolls and pens. Her eyes widened as she was almost flattened by a tidal-wave of minors. "One at a time, guys!" She laughed.

"Where's Tuxedo Kamen?" A boisterous voice suddenly demanded. An older boy thrust his way past the hordes and came up close to Sailor Moon.

She blinked at him in surprise. Was Tuxedo Kamen even invited to this? "I-don't know?" she said slowly, bewildered. A good question! Although no one really knew the hero like the Senshi did. He tended to keep a low profile when it came to public viewing. But surely Motoki had included him as a hero of Tokyo?

"Oh come on! You expect us to believe that?" The boy demanded. He crossed his arms, glaring petulantly up into her startled face. "All of Tokyo knows that you two are going out!"

Oh good god, did they?! "What?" Sailor Moon stammered, shocked. She flushed a hectic colour as every eye in the place went to her, a hush falling so that they could all hear the answer.

Mars snickered from the side. She eyed her leader sideways, then leaned conspiritally towards the little boy. "He only comes when Sailor Moon is in danger. There's nothing here that threatens her life." She said, rather thoughtfully. It had briefly sprung into her mind to suggest they put the heroine into danger so that Tuxedo Kamen would show up for the kids. She blinked in surprise, and squashed that thought. Sailor Moon in danger was a bad thing!

"Oh darn," he said, frowning. The child pouted in disappointment.

Mercury winced as the volume of the room rose again, drowning out all chance of the Senshi talking. "This is unbelievable." she sighed.

"How are you girls doing there?" Motoki asked, walking up to them from behind the counter. He got caught up a few feet from them, trying to wade unsuccessfully through multitudes of fans. He grinned around. "Wow, this is really great! I'm so happy that I suggested this get-together."

Sailor Mars could have disagreed, but she bit her lip. Her poor abused heels could always get bandaids later on. This was for the children of the hospital. They were sick and miserable and had come out just for this event. "Yes. It turned out better than we thought." She agreed, smiling genuinely.

"I still want Tuxedo Kamen," the boy uttered, having refused to leave Sailor Moon's side-just in case she should happen to get into a dangerous situation.

Sailor Moon leaned down, smiling. "He's not coming-I doubt he even knows about this." she told him conspiritally. "He really does only come when I'm attacked by youma."

"Youma? You mean the monsters? I want to see you attacked then!" He said with a ghoulish tone. He then stuck his tongue out at her rudely. "Shows what you know! I bet he'll turn up any second!"

Wow, the world sure knew all about the Dark Kingdom after a year of attacks. All the internet sites sure helped. Still...having a kid wish her to be attacked by the Dark Kingdom purely for amusement was very disconcerting. "Sure, sure. Whatever you say," she said, backing up rapidly. She turned a slightly green face to the other Senshi. "I think I need some water. I'll go to the bathroom. Cover for me guys?"

"You aren't the only Senshi here, you know, Moon," Mars said haughtily, tossing her long silky hair over her shoulder. "I doubt they'll even miss you." Sailor Moon wasn't the centre of the universe, despite what she thought!

Sailor Moon stuck her tongue out at Mars, used to her friend's bad behaviour towards her. "Shows what you know, pyro." she struck her famous pose-receiving gasps of awe and delight from the crowd. She grinned triumphantly at Mars. "See?"

"Go! Before we start a fight before all the minors in Tokyo." Mars muttered under head breath into Sailor Moon's ear, adding a teasing pinch to her hip.

Sailor Moon smiled brightly and began to fight her way through the crowd to the back of the room, where the small bathroom was. It was hard though, with children clinging to her legs and arms, pleading for autographs, piggy-back rides and more. She grimaced, trying to walk with five kids hanging off of each limb.

The parents grinned tolerantly, then came forward to rescue the heroine.

Sailor Moon finally managed to break free of the crowd and quickly stumbled against the door to the bathroom. She jiggled the handle, then thrust it open, ducking inside. She turned and swiftly slammed it shut against the screaming fans-locking it just to make sure. "Ugh! This is harder than I thought it would be." she moaned, leaning her forehead against the coolness of the door.

It was like dealing with Shingo!

She heard a noise behind her, like shuffling and spun around rapidly. Her eyes widened as they fell on the one cubicle-that happened to have the 'occupied' signal on the handle. She gaped at her bad luck. She'd locked herself in with someone! A fan?

"Oh dear," Sailor Moon whispered, back against the door hard. Did she dare rush out of the small room and into certain glomming from rug-rats? Or would she merely brave the one person in her sanctuary? She bit her lip, then raised her chin. One person was preferable to the screaming hordes outside the door.

"Hello?" she called out, bending slightly to look under the cubicle door. Inside, she could see a pair of shiny expensive shoes and the bottom of a nicely-cut pair of men's slacks. She backed off hastily, groaning. Not only had she locked herself into a bathroom with someone-it was a guy! One of the children's parents? "Play it cool, Moon."

"Hello?" Someone said back, sounding startled.

His voice was familiar and it sent shivers down Sailor Moon's spine. No-it couldn't be. "Tuxedo Kamen?" she said disbelief, sinking back against the door again. What were the odds that their conversation could have conjured up the man himself?!

Immediately, the cubicle was unlocked and sure enough, Tuxedo Kamen himself emerged. His lips twisted in an ironic smile. "Fancy us meeting here, like this." he drawled, eyes trailing absently over her form. She looked exhausted, but as cute as usual. 'Down boy.'

"Yeah," she said, blushing. "Er-what were you doing in there?" she flushed harder at the stupid question. He had been using the toilet of course...oh, but she hadn't heard him flush. Sailor Moon eyed him askance, wondering for a moment if he was one of those people who...no, he wasn't that unhygienic. She felt like slapping herself on the forehead for her stupidity. 'He must have been transforming into his alter ego, you ditz!'

He gazed at her for a moment, a devilish smile lighting up his blue eyes behind the half-mask. He seemed almost tempted to say something, then changed his mind. "Transforming" he said solemnly, walking towards the mirror. He frowned and raised a gloved hand to wipe at the mirror, cleaning it's surface. A quick look at himself confirmed that he looked fine. His hair was immaculate, his tuxedo straight-

And there was a blonde gawking at him with a flattering amount of interest.

"Transforming?" She said wonderingly, a vision of him changing into a tuxedo flashed into her head. Did he become naked like she did? Sailor Moon rolled her eyes at this thought. "Of course you transform. I'm a dope!" she groaned at herself, smiling shyly. "You don't sleep in that nice tuxedo-do you?" she hesitated unsurely.

Tuxedo Kamen grinned at her into the mirror, then turned to face her. "No-do you sleep in your fuku?" he returned lightly, eyes sweeping over her form from head to toe thoroughly. He mused, not for the first time, over who she could really be. When she wasn't Sailor Moon, what was her name? How could he have possibly missed seeing a gorgeous blonde, with legs that long, walking about Juuban.

Usagi didn't count!

She flushed even brighter, feeling her face burning with embarrassment. "Umm-no." Sailor Moon said vaguely, feeling uneasy. She had never been in such a confined space with Tuxedo Kamen. The room was only a few feet by a few feet. She watched, bemused, as he looked at his reflection, fixed his bow tie and cloak. Then checked his mask to see if it was secure. She watched him curiously. "You did come." she said, stating the obvious.

"Of course. Though I wasn't invited," he didn't sound too offended. "After all, I only save the mighty Sailor Moon." he finished teasingly, eyes on her face.

"Not so mighty," she protested weakly, pressing her gloved hands back against the doors surface-and wishing fervently that the room were just a little bigger. Tuxedo Kamen seemed to loom larger than life, in the confined space. "I'm a klutz." The blonde Senshi admitted sheepishly. If Tuxedo Kamen had changed in that stall, then that meant that he had walked into the Arcade as his civilian self. Had Motoki seen?

"If you weren't, then who would I save?" he asked her reasonably, moving towards her. The Senshi looked very hesitant to be around him and he could have grinned in amusement, if he thought it wouldn't have embarrassed her. She wasn't stupid and knew as well as he did that they were attracted to each other.

Sailor Moon smiled shyly. "I suppose so..." she murmured, startled when he walked right up to her, chest brushing hers. Her eyes widened, looking up into his.

"I need to get out." he said softly, smiling.

Out? The Senshi wondered in a daze. What big, deep, blue eyes he had. All the better to drown happily in? She blushed again. "Oh! Sorry, Tuxedo Kamen! Of course you do." she hastily stepped back away from the door, letting him go.

Tuxedo Kamen threw her a teasing smile, before taking a hold of the knob and turning it. It wouldn't budge. He frowned at it, flicking at the lock futilely.

"What's wrong?" Sailor Moon asked anxiously, coming up close behind him to stare at the handle. He kept jiggling it, but it wasn't opening.

"You-didn't lock it, did you, Sailor Moon?" Tuxedo Kamen asked her in a slightly strangled tone.

"Umm-yes?" she said, bewildered. She tilted her head to the side. "To keep anyone from coming in." The blonde added, as if this was in doubt.

He groaned, banging his head purposefully on the door, hands still wrapped about the handle. "Oh great," the hero muttered. She had locked them in without knowing it. Wait, was this a bad thing?

"What is it?" she asked intrigued. He was acting so weird!

"I said, we're stuck in here," Tuxedo Kamen's breath exploded from his chest in exasperation. He straightened, twisted against the door frantically and then gave up. "The lock has been busted for years. Once you use it, you have to get a locksmith in here to unlock it."

She gazed at him in horror and disbelief. "You're kidding?" she asked him weakly. Why hadn't anyone told her this before? Actually, she couldn't remember ever having used this bathroom... Usually, the girls ate and left, or played games and was unexpectedly called out to do battle. What a horrible situation this was! She was sort of...claustrophobic actually.

"No" he shook his head, turning to lean his back against the door. "You've locked us in here together until tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" She almost screeched in disbelief. "You can't be serious!" No, no, they couldn't be trapped. Wait, was this entirely a bad thing? Sure, she was enclosed in a smallish space, but she had the company of her crush.

"Oh, but I am serious," The dark-haired man said grimly, folding his arms across his chest. "It's Sunday night, Sailor Moon. The locksmith's won't open again until Monday morning." And he didn't have any food on him. Having dashed out that afternoon in able to make it to this event in time, he had not thought to grab some lunch. Motoki had not even invited him, which had stung a little. It was almost closing time, and appearing at the last minute would have gone down well. He was an 'in and out in a flash' sort of guy.

"But-can't you do something?" she pleaded at him, wringing her hands. "My parents are going to kill me!" Sailor Moon gasped in horror. They didn't know that she was a Senshi! They would be wondering where she had gotten to. Her mother was going to ground her forever!

Tuxedo Kamen gave her a look of pure amusement, the situation finally tickling his funny bone. It was terribly ironic to be locked in with the girl he had a lot of feelings for, but usually left as soon as possible after a battle. "It can't be helped. If I had a cell-phone, then you could call them," he gestured at his tuxedo. "As you can see, I have no pockets." Another thing he had forgotten in his haste was his much-needed cell.

"Oh noooo!" The Senshi moaned at him, eyes flitting around the small room in panic. "I'm scared of small places, Tuxedo Kamen!" She wanted to make that point absolutely clear right from the beginning.

"Don't worry about it. I'm here-as always." he reassure her, eyes glinting strangely behind the mask.

She stared at him, their situation finally settling in. "So-we're stuck here for the night then?" she said in a tiny voice. A whole night? How would she keep from babbling her feelings to the guy?

"Yep," he said teasingly. "Scared?" He sure hoped not.

Suddenly the lights went out, leaving Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen in relative darkness. Vaguely, a dim light began to glow overhead, revealing her scared eyes. "Now I am. Everyone has left me!" she exclaimed in horror. Stuck, for an entire night, with the guy she had a huge crush on? How could she not blurt out something that would give her away in that time period?

"Maybe Motoki is still here?" he said, turning to pound on the door. He had to still be there! Motoki owned the place, for crying out loud.

"How do you know him?" Sailor Mon said, staring at his back. Tuxedo Kamen knew Motoki personally? He had been awfully familiar with the name just now. 'Wow, what a coincidence!'

He stiffened. "I'm not always Tuxedo Kamen, Sailor Moon."

"So-you're a friend of his?" she queried, gazing at him with wide eyes. What an amazing discovery. Maybe she knew Tuxedo Kamen!

"Yes," he said warily. "How do you know him?" he shot back. Sailor Moon knew Motoki? What were the odds? His eyebrows rose in query, as she looked as stunned as he felt.

Sailor Moon gasped slightly, then recovered. "I'm a friend too." she said bravely. Oh dear, would this narrow it down for him to discovering who she really was?

"Hmm-" Tuxedo Kamen murmured, staring at her under the dim light, expression indefinable.

"Hmm?" she echoed, feeling uneasy.

"Yes," he said slowly, drawing the word out. "I wonder if we know each other, Sailor Moon? Personally I mean." Of course, he could have just seen her and not registered it. Mamoru wasn't much for noticing any girls at all for that matter. Other than her that was. And the heroine standing in front of him. Two blondes... Tuxedo Kamen frowned heavily.

The Senshi's eyes went wider, heart beginning to thunder in her chest. "I suppose so..." she said doubtfully, giggling nervously. "Juuban is a big place-and the Arcade is always full." Her blue eyes went to his dark hair in a thoughtful manner. How many people came to Motoki's place with hair like that? Dozens! She groaned under her breath.

"Do you go to school?" he asked her curiously, wondering how old she was. Not that it was the first time he had mused over that question. He would hate to be drooling over a minor. However, it was very hard to deduce how old any of the Sailor Senshi were. They seemed ageless. In reality, given their behaviour, they had to be pretty young.

"Yes," she told him hesitantly. "I'm only fifteen."

Tuxedo Kamen gaped for a moment in stunned amazement, then shook his head, as if mocking himself for something. She was jailbait. Damn it, it was worse than he thought. "Only fifteen and saving the world from people like Zoisite." he marvelled, masking his thoughts from her.

"So do you," she paused curiously. "How old are you?"

"Nineteen," he answered absently. There was no reason not to tell her, after all...

Her heart plummeted to her feet. Nineteen! Sailor Moon bit her lip, eyes down-cast. She had no chance at all with him, now that she knew his age! Why would Tuxedo Kamen-totally gorgeous-want anything to do with a fifteen year old girl? "Do you have a girlfriend?" she blurted out, before she could stop herself.

Stupid!

The hero smiled faintly at her, leaning with ease against the door. So, she had been wondering about him too? That was very flattering. "Are we playing twenty questions, Sailor Moon?" he asked in amusement.

She blushed, then hesitantly sat down on the cold floor, wincing as the tiles touched the warm flesh on her thighs and legs. "Umm-yeah...I guess so. We're here till morning. What else is there to do?"

He gave a snort of amusement. Tuxedo Kamen could think of many things he could do with her. Things he had never considered doing with any other girl. He never thought of girls or women at all, come to think of it. As if he were waiting for someone specific... "You'll learn when you're older." he said mockingly. Great, he was insinuating adult things to a minor. How the mighty had fallen. If Sailor Moon had any idea what he was thinking, she would clobber him. And then her Senshi would make sure he never bore children!

She gave him an uncertain look. "What do you mean?" The hero had this indefinable look in his eyes, but she felt it like a scorching heat. His eyes glittered at her with an unknown, yet exciting, expression for a few moments.

Tuxedo Kamen sighed, sliding slowly down the door until he too sat on the floor, long legs stretched out and almost touching hers. "When you get a boyfriend, when you're older, he'll explain it to you." And how he wished he would be that guy. Only in his dreams.

"How old?" she demanded, afire with curiosity.

He gave her a long considering look. "Eighteen at least-though with your looks, you'll be snatched up long before that." he murmured, eyes moving slowly over her form. Tuxedo Kamen thought about this pretty girl older, and he knew he was grinning foolishly. But then he considered that she would not be looking at him as boyfriend material, since he vanished without a trace after rescuing her.

Which meant, she would be looing at other guys. Guys, he would most probably have to do bodily harm to.

Sailor Moon blushed, burying her hands into her short skirt to force it down further into her lap. Tuxedo Kamen seemed to be always looking at her legs! She was confused. "Eighteen. Really? I have to wait that long for a boyfriend?" she said, disappointed. If Tuxedo Kamen had offered to be her guy, she would have said yes in a heartbeat.

"Maybe seventeen." he muttered under his breath, eyes riveted on her long silky hair. Sailor Moon was a knock-out, even at fifteen. He felt a surge of jealousy at the thought of another guy touching her. "Maybe even sixteen..." he said aloud, frowning. Obviously, if he waited a couple of years to woo her, she could be snapped up by another.

Weird, Tuxedo Kamen had never thought of her in those terms before. It was in and out fast with the rescuing, even if he had some very unsettling feelings for the blonde. He had not actually thought of dating her before now.

"Sixteen? Yeah?" she said happily, grinning. "I'm sixteen next month." What a happy coincidence. Ooh, was he thinking of asking her out? She eyeballed him expectantly.

"Really?" he drawled, dark blue eyes raking over her from head to toe in a disconcertingly-thorough manner. Oh, that was just perfect. No wait, it wasn't. She was still sort of...an...enemy? The opposition at the very least. They were both after the Rainbow Crystals for their different reasons. Tuxedo Kamen groaned under his breath. Things had suddenly become complicated.

To Be Continued...

Please review me! You don't know how much it means to an Author to get a review on their Fanfic and to know that you're enjoying it. Believe me, it makes us want to write more for you. LOL.

No, Sailor Moon and Mars do not get along. Rei actually seems to hate the blonde in this Fanfic. It's important to the plot. :P
