A Sailor Moon Fanfiction: The Pledge of the Sun.

Chapter 78

As she walked on, Petz happened to bump into a random guy brushing against his shoulder, making him stop. At first, the guy seemed mad, but when he saw Petz, he couldn't help but be charmed by her beauty.

"Hey there, Cutie. What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?" the man asked, trying to be suave.

Petz pretended she didn't hear him and was about to continue on her way when the man grabbed her by the wrist, stopping her.

"Come on, Hun. Don't be cruel. I'm sorry for bumping into you if that's what you're mad about," the man smiled. "In fact, how about I take you out to lunch or a cup of coffee as my way of saying sorry?"

At that moment, Petz sent a strong current of black electricity shot through the man's arm and shocked him throughout his body, making him yelp and warble in agony as he collapsed to the ground. Petz then continued on her way, her hand crackling and sparkling as she clicked her tongue.

"They're all the same, every last, pitiful man on this Earth," Petz murmured coldly to herself. "I can't trust anyone, not even my sisters, who turned their backs on me! And it's all because of Rubeus and those Guardians! If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be in this position. I swear, when I see them, I'll kill every last one of them! I'll show Rubeus, who's expendable!"

Then suddenly, as she rounded a corner, a particular blonde boy ran past her, and though it was only for a split second, Petz recognized the boy. At the same time, Usagi and her group came running past, making sure to keep their distance away from the boy. Petz, at first, was speechless, but seeing this as an opportunity, she silently followed them, fading away.

Meanwhile, Harusuke was running as fast as he could, heading towards a particular building in the middle of town. Little did Harusuke know, Usagi and the others were following him. Soon enough, he could see a certain someone waiting for him by a corner, which was none other than Makoto.

"Sorry, I'm late, Mako," Harusuke panted. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting long."

"Not at all," replied Mako with a light smile. "I wasn't waiting that long myself. So you all set to go?"

"You bet I am," Harusuke said, smiling. "Let's get going."

The two then set off together, while Usagi's group observed them from behind another corner, making sure that the two didn't leave their sight.

"Those two seem to be close right now," said Usagi. "It sure is starting to look like a date."

"Well, we can't say that for certain," said Ami. "Maybe the two are going shopping for food, so Makoto can give him cooking lessons."

"Ami could be right," said Luna. "Besides, why would Harusuke and Makoto even start dating in the first place without saying anything to anyone. I mean, Harusuke's still reeling after what happened with Zoisite."

"But what if he's finally gotten over it and has decided to try dating with Mako?" suggested Minako. "It could happen. For all we know, Mako and Harusuke could be practicing being lovey-dovey and kissing."

"No, there is no way that's what they're doing!" Rei suddenly cried. "It's ridiculous! There's no way that Harusuke would go and do stuff like that!"

"Yeah! That's right!" Usagi agreed. "No one is going to be dating my brother unless I have anything to say about it!"

Artemis, Luna, Ami, and Minako couldn't believe their ears as they were a bit surprised.
