Hi, everyone… I hope you will give another story of mine a chance.

I don't own sailor moon

It was no different than usual work in a day. Gun in hands, chasing the perps in a dark alley, finishing a mountain of piles paper works on the desk… then celebrate a solved case. Or so how it should have been done…

Detective Haruka Tenoh turned sharp to the left on the end of the path. She ignored the disgusting smell and other crawlers inhabitants along the way. she never had a time to catch a breath or look her chaser behind.

Her chaser. Great, being a detective, she should've been the one who doing the chase not the one who make an escape. Today was different story because of something that impossible scientifically had just appeared.

Bang!

Another gunshot rang through the dark alley. Haruka assumed that it must've come from the officer she had called before. In her mind, she was sure that a person alone wouldn't be able to take down the thing, but she prayed the bullet had hit the target.

"Arrgghhhhh….!" A human scream followed. The voice was so unhuman like though, sounded like he was being tormented or choke a metal pipe down into his throat.

The officer had failed. The blonde felt guilt and ashamed, while he was bravely gunblazing the target, she ran away. The detective wasn't afraid. Hell, she never felt fear before. However, her conscious logical mind told her to run for her dear life. She still wanted to enjoy more time in the lovely world.

The loud stomp sounded closer than before. Haruka faster her pace, she didn't know which direction to take. As long as it's not a dead end, she would take the way. Her luck seemed had run out when her body was slammed into bricks.

Damn.

She looked up. The wall in front of her was about 60 feet tall. No way could she make a jump for that.

This is it. Guess I have to fight it.

She turned around. Set up her gun for the incoming target in the dark. She had 12 bullets. If only she had brought the extra magazines with her, she would've had more.

I don't have choice. Come on, kitty… The blonde saw the shadow getting bigger. The figure appeared. The first thing Haruka figured was its eyes. The two balls were shine brightly in the dark like 2 fireballs. Then the smells, they were more horrible than the dark alley it was smelled like a thousand dead bodies and fresh blood.

It was a big, furry, smelly animal. Haruka's mind guessed.

Carnivore also… The blonde added the most important point why she ran from it.

The beast had all it attention on the blonde detective. It seemed knew that its prey had cornered and time for feast time.

BANG! Haruka released the first bullet. The blonde saw it hit the beast on its arm.

The thing didn't even budge.

"This is bad… I never good with animal… especially a dog." Haruka flinched when the beast growling and showed its teeth.

"Wow, never want to get bit by that…" Haruka aimed and shot again. This time it hit its head.

It growled then launched the first attack to Haruka. The furry arm with five claws reach for the blonde.

"Are we angry?!" She managed to dodge before teasing the beast. She shot again, hit the beast's eyes.

"Eat that!" She didn't notice the beast already swung another its arm.

"Whoa, shit!" barely avoid the sharp claws, her shoulder ate the consequence. First the sharp pain and the burning sensation followed.

Great, I gonna die here… so much for the optimistic beautiful life. Haruka sighed. She emptied her clip but the pain prevented her to get the clear shoot.

"Nice… now just you and me and the trash can, dumbass!" The blonde threw her gun and grabbed anything that could be used as weapon.

From the look of the situation, the winner could be determined by the size of each but Haruka didn't want to go down without a proper fight. She was a detective for Godsake!

So, when the situation changed from very bad to the worst when she got cornered and didn't have any choice but close her eyes and ready for the pain… Haruka knew, this would be her end.

A crap case leading her to be slaughtered by a doggie… no, a beast… very big one, they should see her opponent first… it was very scary. She had an excuse to lose.

The strike was never come. Haruka knew at least she had to feel the pain first then died… but it was never come… she took a peek and opened her eyelid a little.

What? The beast was there, but not standing. It was lying there unmoving at all.

How can it… Haruka's eyes both open now. She registered the situation around her.

She caught a shadow figure above her. Presicely it was standing on the rooftop. She only knew that it was a human. With head and two feet and all…

"Hey, don't stand there! That's dangerous." Haruka said dumbly. She shouldn't have worried about another person falling from 3 stories building, remembering her near in death situation seconds ago.

The person looked downward. Its eyes were looking at Haruka but the blonde couldn't figure because the lack of light. The moon was hidden under the cloud tonight. It could be a man or a woman.

"… Ara, ara…" The voice echoed, now Haruka knew it was a woman. Her voice was melodic and beautiful. Haruka didn't know why but her heart went crazy by now.

Who is this woman?

The woman jumped down and landed near Haruka. the blonde guessed if the person could jump from that height without a single scratch, then this person most likely was the one who had killed the beast.

"Did you… kill it?" Haruka gestured to the big dog. The woman didn't bother to look at the thing, her sight simply looked straight at the blonde.

"Yes. It was a pity, its kind began to meet the extinction but I couldn't hold myself." Now her gaze landed on the Haruka's wound. The blonde automatically grabbed her injured arm and winced from the action. She didn't stand the woman's gaze on her. In a good way.

"So, I killed it because it had touched mine." She grinned.

The moon finally revealed after long time hiding. It couldn't be more perfect from its timing tonight. The light had helped Haruka to see the woman before her.

Haruka gasped.

A Goddess! Haruka's mind racing. In front of her was standing the most beautiful woman had ever seen.

"Now, you saw me… like what you see?" She asked with seducing tone. Haruka couldn't even utter a word. She gulped and then choked.

Fucking choked. She was choking in front of gorgeous lady. Her brother would've laughing at her for months.

"Ara? I'll take it as compliment then." She chuckled a little.

"Wha… who are you? What was that animal? Why you… and how you kill it?" There were million questions Haruka wanted to know.

And are you an angel? Is this dream? No, she was just nearly being killed by a monster and that was not a dream… so this supposed to be a real deal. Glad it was real though, Haruka also grinned a little.

"One thing at one time… it means one question." The Goddess cut the detective's babbling.

Haruka nodded, "Okay then… who are you?" She actually wanted to ask her number or something, but trivial thing comes first.

"You will know when its time. So, ready for sleep… Ha-ru-ka?"

Eh? How does she know my name?

Haruka didn't have a chance to ask that because the next thing happened was the darkness welcomed her.

"I don't know you become this cute. Surely I've missed a lot lately…" The aquanette woman caught the falling blonde into her embrace.

Somehow the color felt familiar. She had seen it somewhere, sometimes… maybe more than once maybe she had not seen it in the real life at all.

The point was she knew the color. The blue ocean color that remind her of the sea.

Her family, her friends, her teachers… everyone said that she was actually a cat. Haruka had a luck more than common people should've. That was because she had been escaping many deaths in the past. Miraculously survive from an accident, came out unscathed from burning building… even after she got the detective badge, her luck was still there. The bullet that had suddenly missed even from the closed range, a perp that suddenly admitted his crime, very secret information about drug dealers, mob, and black markets appeared neatly on her desk… normally that wouldn't happen to a person out of blue.

The little things also counted. Everytime she got sick or injured there always these mysterious deliveries containing supplies of medicines and nutrients food. At first she thought they were from her mother or brother but she had asked them and they didn't send anything except letters or documents. Her mother would've come by herself if she wanted anything to do with her refrigerator and food supply. Then last week, the brake in her motorcycle was damaged and the next day it had been repaired.

Those things were too bizarre for happening, yet the blonde didn't care… as long as the justice being uphold and the bad guys locked up she would be content. The event tonight made her reconsidering again about everything. The half part was a blur but the incident about she almost got killed by a freaking big dog was still clearly played inside her head. Everytime she closed her eyes, the fangs and the claws were there to slay her in the dream.

The half part she couldn't remember she wasn't entirely sure… but that must be not very good.

"Yo, Haruka… thinking something?" Someone gave her a smack on the back, making her jump in surprise.

"What?" The annoyed Haruka groaned, didn't like any interruption.

"Oh, the sun is still up there and you… are… thinking… inappropriate… things." He spelled it slowly like the words were meaningful enough for Haruka to catch it.

"What? No!"

"Oh, don't worry… it's just you and me, partner." He winked toward Haruka.

"Mamoru? It doesn't help at all and don't have anything to do with it." The blonde rolled her eyes and went back to a mountain of paper work.

"What happened to you yesterday? I heard there was an attack, an officer died. They said it looked like an animal attack, but it is impossible in the big city like this." Mamoru went to serious conversation that Haruka wanted mostly avoided.

"I don't know, I can't remember. If they say it was an animal then let it be. I don't care about a murder done by animal." She half heartedly answered.

"You were lucky… I'm glad you make it." Mamoru showed his most genuine smile. The blonde knew he was totally faked it.

"You will happy if I die…"

"Yes, I will."

They both knew it was a joke.

The mysterious packet was there… again. In her front door of her apartment. Haruka guessed the contain was the same as the previous box. They were pills and some syringes contain with weird looking liquid. Because it was too strange, Haruka didn't bother to eat either to inject her body with suspicious substance.

On the top there are some writings.

'If the headache occurred, inject the blue liquid if not then you will be fine by taking those pills. This time is serious. You will die if you don't do it because the infection most likely will happen in 48 hours interval.'

Huh? The sender must be Dr. Jeckyl. Haruka chuckled. She opened the door and threw the packet to the sofa in the living room. In case the packet wasn't a prank, she didn't feel any ridiculous headache.

Haruka walked to the kitchen and opened the freezer. There, her supplies refilled. Fruits, vegetables, juices, yogurts…

Damn yogurt!

Where the hell is my beer?! The blonde cursed. Everytime it happens, her beer gone. It was like she was dating a crazy perfectionist who has a big concern for health.

"This prank should've stop now. Whoever it was who messed up with my beer was an enemy!" Haruka huffed. She planned to buy one carton of beer when the nausea hit her.

Great, I feel like the gravity is not upon me… Haruka sighed, defeated and retreated back to the sofa.

The headache came. Haruka turned and reached for the packet she had initially threw away.

Let's assume that the person who sent this is the person who packed my refrigerators with some nutrients food. So, in contradiction, this person wouldn't want me dead. What could've happened anyway? The headache became unbearable because it worse and worse.

Believe this should be fine, I have this amazing luck afterall. Haruka took the syringe with the blue liquid out.

Haruka closed her eyes and directly penetrate the needle into the vein in her arm. She emptied the liquid all at once because she wanted all of this over soon.

The headache slowly gone, it worked quickly inside her body system. Haruka grinned, grabbed the mysterious letter once again.

She frowned when she found another little note below. It was very small, she must really close to read it.

'Do not empty the blue liquid. The dosage is half of it, if it's too much then you will pass out for the entire 24 hours.'

"Oh, fuck…" With that her body shut off.
