Saved

*Minori*

My crescent beams and Venus Love-Me chains were holding up well, but not well enough. The swarm of monsters around me just increased, and I looked helplessly around me for some assistance.

"Tuxedo Smoking Bomb!" I heard someone shout. The monsters in my vicinity disintegrated as a blast of energy was shot their way.

"Hey are you okay?" I turned towards the voice and saw the figure of a boy approaching me. Kind blue eyes stared at me through a white mask.

"Y-Yeah, I think so." My cheeks flushed pink involuntarily, and I quickly turned, using the excuse of an attack to hide my blush. Without further conversation we began to attack the monsters around us until they were reduced to nothing.

Wiping a hand across my forehead, I turned towards the guy and high-fived him. Surprised at my sudden gesture, I backed away a few paces and scratched the back of my head. "Thank you for saving me!" I finally managed to exclaim.

"It was my pleasure," he said with a flourish. The pink returned to my cheeks immediately.

"Who are you, anyways?" I asked, arching an eyebrow.

"I am known now as Sailor Earth," was his evasive answer.

"What's your name?" I persisted. "I can't just call you Mr. Earth man forever, you know?"

The edges of his lips turned upwards slightly in a small smile. "That will be kept a secret for a bit longer."

I rolled my eyes in frustration but didn't continue my queries. The girl who had saved me from earlier approached me then. "Are you alright?" I wondered out loud.

The girl only nodded while brushing dirt off her sailor costume. Another question popped into my mind, one that I had not bothered to ask ever since I had gotten into this mess.

"What the heck are we doing?!"
