Ever since last night, I began to feel even more guilty about going out with Rubeus. Maybe I should tell her but if I do then she will hate me. What's wrong with me? Is wrong that I love Rubeus? Or is it wrong that I would rather be with him instead of here right now? Who cares at this point!? I should talk to Rubeus about this and ask where my friends are. Soon I was brought out of my thoughts by someone screaming about a black crystal earring. My eyes widened as I noticed it looks exactly like the necklace Rubeus gave me. What is happening? I need to find Rubeus and fast; But before I can, I need to find a way to get out of here without my sister knowing. Hopefully I can get some answers soon.

Eventually we left Makoto's place and went back to Usagi and my home. As we entered the house, Chibiusa and Sao-chan come running towards us saying in unison welcome back. Smiling softly as two other kids come running towards us as well. Mom then came out explaining that the kids were having a playdate. My smile grew as I was happy that the girls have made friends with other kids. Except before I could say anything Chibiusa looked at what Mamoru was holding and began to scream causing all of us to worry about her. Mamoru tried to walk over to her but she backed away from him. Quickly Mamoru placed the crystal down and Minako picks it up. She then begins to ask Chibiusa and Saori a bunch of questions causing Mamoru and I to tell them that is enough. They still continued to ask them a bunch of questions causing me to frown. Usagi then ran out of the room and went to school thinking about all of our friends.

Instead of going to school, I sat in the park wanting to figure out everything that is going on. What is Rubeus not telling me? What was the reason for Chibiusa reacted to the crystal and not Saori? Why? Soon I was pulled from my thoughts causing me to look at who placed their hand on my shoulder. Once I realized it was Rubeus, my heart skipped a beat as I look at him. I knew I should run away but I couldn't. There is something pulling me towards him. Tears well up into my eyes as I can't help fall for him even more. Something must be wrong with me. "Sweetheart, are you alright?" He asks me as he now places his hand on my cheek. I nod as I nuzzle my face more into his hand. That's when he decided to pull me into a hug.
"I am so sorry for what I did to you and friends last night. I didn't want to hurt you. I never want to hurt you. I just didn't want you to get hurt by the others trying to take Sao-chan and Chibiusa." He tells me. I nuzzle into him even more than before as I enjoy him holding me. For some odd reason he makes me feel safe. Why do I feel safe with him? Well whatever the reason is I don't care. Quickly I pull away from him as I realize that I need to ask him where my friends are and why is Nemesis doing this. "Rubeus as much as I want to trust you, I want to know why? Why you took my friends? Why do you keep protecting me? Why Chibiusa freaked out about the Malfic Crystal? Are my friends safe? Why didn't you take Saori when you had the chance to? Just why?" I ask as tears began to stain my face.
He looked at me with concern before pulling me onto his lap just to hug me. He sighed softly before kissing the top of my head. "Your friends are safe. They are just in the future right now in a way." He said. My heart fluttered as he continued. "To answer all your questions about why I didn't take Saori is because there is something about her that reminds me of you. Like all I want to do is protect her and her cousin. When we first attacked the future, I noticed that I didn't want to be there and hurt them. It's confusing I know. But something in me keeps stopping me from doing what the others are doing. I just want to keep you safe. I want to be near you every day. I want to hold your hand and kiss you. I want to protect you. To answer your other question about Chibiusa freaking out, is because we used the crystal to take over her home. I don't know why I did it though. I wanted to stop it but I let them do it because I was fighting against myself. And I don't think you should trust me. But I want you to trust in me that when I say that I'm in love with you...I actually mean it. I love you Sakura and will do anything to keep you safe." After he said those words, I look up at him with love and a red tint crosses my cheeks. Quickly I smash my lips to his. At first he was in shock but then slowly kissed me back. We made out for a bit before pulling away from each other smiling.
