Just to clarify, I kinda jump into the middle of this here, so don't be too confused, K?
Oh yeah, the song doesn't belong to me. (Duh.)
**************************
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
**************************

I put my hands where your wings should be
(Ooooh yeah)
I put my feet where the earth should be
(Ooooh yeah)
And I can't see very far
And when you said that you were dead I hung on

Darien put his arm around Sailor Moon's back, supporting her. She coughed up blood. Blood was rapidly spreading from a wound in her side. If only he'd been faster...instead, the pure white of Sailor Moon's uniform was becoming stained with blood...so red. So red.
"Tuxedo Mask..." she gasped. "You have to go help the others. I'm dead. Help my friends."
"No," he choked. "You can't die Sailor Moon. I...I love you. I know I barely know you, but I feel myself drawn to you."
She had the grace to look suprised. "Well," she chukled weakly. "Not every day a strange guy says he loves me."
"I know it's wrong of me...because I love an ordinary schoolgirl in my regular form, and I have a duty to protect my princess."
"I like you a lot...Tuxedo Mask...but I don't know if I love you. "
"I...understand. I've given you no reason to trust me."
She chuckled again, then gasped, writhing in pain.
"Sailor Moon!" he yelled. "Please don't die! You can't!"
"Gomen..." she whispered, passing out.

Something I feel
You are an angel, or maybe you could have been
Something out here
You are an angel, or maybe you could have been

"Sailor Moon..." he whispered sadly. "You can't die..." He ripped a piece of cloth off his tuxedo, binding Sailor Moon's wound as well as he could, taking off his mask to see better. "C'mon, Darien, you're a med student, there's got to be something you can do for her," he whispered to himself. 
Yet he knew that the possibility of her suviving was unlikely. The wound was too deep, she'd lost too much blood...

I've got this light hangs over me
(Ooooh yeah)
I've got this fear cuts into me
(Ooooh yeah)
And I can't see very far
And when you said that you were dead I hung on

Suddenly a glimmer of hope came to him. He had always had healing powers...given, he'd never tried to use them on anyone else, but it was worth a try.
He could hear the sailors in the back of his mind, Sailor Mars giving orders, Mercury looking for a weakness while flanked by Jupiter and Venus, protecting her for time. But all that was unimportant, as he blanked his mind, concentrating on the task before him.
After a few seconds, he sat back, tears of frustration running down his face. "Damn," he whispered. "She doesn't deserve to die."

Something I feel
You are an angel, or maybe you could have been
Something out here
You are an angel, or maybe you could have been

What could he do? He finally decided to give it one last try. He didn't notice the multi-colored glow bathing his face, nor did he notice the brighter flash of light as the rainbow crystals combined into one, and lent Darien the power of the moon to heal Sailor Moon.

See how they run
And nobody said you would go
See how they fall
And I can't see very far
And when you said that you were dead I hung on

Meanwhile, the other sailors were having the battle of their lives. The youma was one helluva nasty creation, all spikes and thorns. It whirled a mace, and was partly humanoid, partly plant, and a nasty thorny one. Its mace would strike in one direction, its branches in another. In addition, it was unusually fast, able to dodge all the centered atttaks.
"Jupiter, Venus, protect Mercury while she scans for weakness," Mars shouted. "I'll distract it."
She grabbed a sturdy branch from a nearby tree, and slammed her hands down on it, lighting it on fire. Then she came in close to the youma, using the branch as a staff.
It was still too fast, and while Mars managed to get some hits in, she was by far taking the worst of it.
"Got it!" Mercury yelled, and Mars jumped away from the branches. "The mace is it's weak point. Take it out and we get the whole thing."
"Here's what we'll do," Mars yelled. "Mercury, use your bubbles, and Jupiter, your flower hurricane. Then zap the mace a good one."
"Metal- conducts electricity!" Mercury yelled. "Shabon spray!"
"Flower hurricane!"
The youma pawed at its eyes, letting the end of the mace drop.
"Supreme thunder!" Jupiter yelled, blasting the youma to hell.
Zoicite appeared. "How did you manage to get my crystals?" he snarled. "Oh well. That youma weakened you so much, it should be easy to finish you off. Especially without your- " he sneered, "Esteemed leader."
"Eat fire!" Mars yelled, releasing her attack. Zoicite dodged easily. 
"Crap..." Jupiter muttered. "We're in deep now."

Something I feel
You are an angel, or maybe you could have been
Something out here
You are an angel, or maybe you could have been

Sailor Moon rose off the ground, as Darien gasped in suprise. Her outfit changed to one of pure white, all traces of blood disappearing. "The- the princess? And Sailor Moon? They're the same?" All the other senshi turned around at the loud whisper, then stared in amazement.
"Thank you, Tuxedo Mask-" then she got a good look at his face. "Darien???"
"Hai. You know me...princess?"
"Yeah. I'll...talk to you later. Now I have to take care of this jerk."
A look of angry determination came over her face when she looked at the bruised and bloody senshi.
"Shiiiiiinneeeee! Moon cosmic power!!!"
Zoicite was thrown into a tree, where he lay unmoving.
"Well, that takes care of that," Sailor Moon said, just before losing her transformation. "Darien..I remember everything, ne?"
"Yeah...me too. I love you Sailor Moon. Princess Serenity."
"I love you too." She fell asleep in his arms.

See how they run
See how they run
All the same, all the same
Something out here
You are an angel.
