A Sailor Moon Fanfiction: The Pledge of the Sun.

Chapter 5

Usagi was running for her life from what appeared to be a formless monster.

"No! Please! Stay away from me!" cried Usagi. "Someone help me!"

The monster closed in on her, and Usagi shut her eyes, thinking she was done for when someone suddenly came to her rescue. A familiar face in a tuxedo with a top hat, white glasses, and a cape while holding a red rose.

"Tuxedo Mask!" cheered Usagi. "You came!"

Using the rose, Tuxedo Mask unleashed a gust of flower petals at the monster, making it disappear completely. Usagi then ran into her hero's arms as he embraced her back.

"You're my hero, Tuxedo Mask," she said dreamily.

"Have no fear, Usagi, my darling," said Tuxedo Mask. "Whenever you need me, I'll always be by your side."

Usagi sighed, thinking that this was the best thing that ever happened to her, but then suddenly, she heard a scream. At the same time, Tuxedo Mask began to fade until he disappeared entirely.

Usagi slowly opened her eyes as she woke from her dream. At that moment, the scream came again, forcing her to cover her ears. She also knew who it was.

"Darn that stupid Shingo!" she grumbled as she got out of bed. "He totally just ruined my dream!"

She stomped down the hall heading for Shingo's room. Harusuke came from the other direction, looking slightly groggy.

"He woke you up too?" asked Harusuke.

"Yeah, and right in the middle of a dream too," huffed Usagi. "It's too early in the morning for this!"

"Well, we better go see what's going on," said Harusuke. "Hopefully, Shingo's OK."

Usagi then opened the door just in time for Shingo to scream again.

"What the heck is there a cat in my room?!" he cried. "Get away from me!"

He then threw a pillow which happened to hit Usagi square in the face.

"Hey! What did you do that for?!" she said, clearly angry.

"Usagi! Harusuke! Get that cat out of here right now!" Shingo yelled, now curled up in a ball trembling like a leaf.

Harusuke then saw Luna, who had suddenly appeared right next to his feet. He then understood what was going on.

"Oh. So that's it," said Harusuke. "I forgot that Shingo is afraid of cats. I guess Luna must have snuck into his bed."

Usagi, now sporting a mischievous smile, picked up Luna and then held her in front of Shingo, making Shingo shriek in terror.

"Stop it!" he yelled, turning away from Luna.

Usagi wouldn't listen. She only held out Luna closer to Shingo, which made him more and more terrified. Harusuke was starting to get annoyed.

"Now that's enough, Usagi," he said sternly. "Stop picking on Shingo."

"Oh, alright," said Usagi. "But only if he promises to stop bothering his smart and incredibly beautiful big sister."

Then Ikuko called out from downstairs. "Kids! Time for Breakfast!"

"Coming!" said Usagi as she raced down the stairs being the glutton that she was.

"Hold on, Usagi! Wait up!" said Harusuke as he followed suit.
