Author: Michi-koi

Disclaimer: I don't own Naoko Takeuchi's beloved Sailor Moon. -sniff- WAHHH! -.-;;; and… and… and…I DON'T OWN HARUKA!! WAHHHHHH!!!!!! NOOOO!! -sniff, sniff- Wait…-sniff- yes I do. "Quote, the penname?" Um, another thing. Setsuna and Michiru are totally OOC, ok? Also, I think Haruka is a bit OOC, too. Thanks. ^.^



The sky became very dim and cold rain tapped along the slanted roof of the Outer Senshi's home. Michiru sat at the kitchen table, sipping some tea she just brewed. Hotaru and Chibi-Usa sat with Setsuna watching her favorite reality show.

"Suna-chan? Where's Haruka?" Michiru asked her, worried.

"Still at the bus station, I think." Setsuna answered.

-sigh- "But she left hours ago! That interview couldn't have lasted that long…" Michiru complained.

"Well, this thing is very important to her. Give her time, she'll be home." Setsuna assured her.

"I'm home!" Haruka came in and slammed the door with a smile.

"Ruka!" Chibi-Usa squealed.

"Hey, my little bunny!" Haruka smiled and rubbed the top of her pink fluffy head.

"How did the interview go?" Michiru asked.

"Great! I got the job, the fans, the works!" Haruka said blissfully.

"What job, Ruka-papa What job?" Hotaru turned around.

"Hotaru! I'm finally an idol! I'm finally a super-star! I got a star role in a new movie." Haruka explained. "Isn't that cool? I can't think of ANYTHING better right now!"

"Kawaii!" Chibi-Usa said happily.

"I just *have* to start my role tomorrow! Sorry, I can't make any plans for a while." Haruka said checking her schedule. "Um...a long while."

"Hmm…" Michiru bit her lip.

"Ohhh! Ruka-papa! Noooo!" Hotaru grabbed Haruka's waist. "Don't leave us!"

"Oh Hotaru, PLEASE?!! This means SO much to me. G'night everyone…" Haruka hugged Hotaru and ran upstairs.

"Do you think this is a good idea, Michiru-chan?" Setsuna looked at her.

"Sure…s-sure it is." Michiru said uncertain.

The next morning...

Haruka woke up alone in bed. She tossed and turned, and had unusual visions of the new role she was starring in. They were blurred images one after another, small indistinct pictures of gunshots, and flashes of light. And where was her dear Michiru? Haruka warily tiptoed down the staircase, in search of her love. Michiru sat lonesome in her mint-green terry robe at the kitchen table drinking some balmy left over tea. Ruka slowly walked over to her and sat with Michiru. It was very quiet and still.

"Michi-koi? What's the matter?" Haruka broke the silence.

"I don't think this whole…star-role thing is such a good idea…" Her voice trailed off.

"But...why not?" Haruka asked suddenly.

"Last night…" Michiru started.

"Yes? Last night...what?" Haruka said impatiently.

"I saw you dream. I know about your visions." Michiru continued. "Please don't go."

"It was only a dream Michi! Everything's ok." Haruka reassured her. "Come back to bed."

"Please, take my word. Something is holding me back from telling the truth, a force, a strong force." Michiru explained. "Please…do as I say…or…or...the unthinkable may occur."

"But Michiru, this is a STAR-ROLE! When do opportunities…this great happen?" Haruka pleaded.

"TENOU HARUKA!" Michiru eyes lit an evil shade of red, and then she disappeared. "YOU WILL WISH YOU HAD LISTENED TO ME."

"Mi…Mi…Michiru? Michiru!?" Haruka looked around.

"Num...num….num…" Hotaru came down the staircase rubbing her sleepy eyes. "Ruka-papa? What happened? What's with all the loud noise?"

"Michiru…" Haruka glanced in the air.

"Ruka-papa?" Hotaru called again. Haruka quickly turned around.

"WHAT HOTARU!?" Haruka was still in shock.

"Stop yelling at me!!" Hotaru cried. "Where's my Michiru-mama?"

"I...I...don't know." Haruka rubbed her sandy blonde hair.

"She's gone too?!?" Hotaru exclaimed.

"What do you mean?...Too?" Haruka said perplexed. "Where is Setsuna-chan?

"Suna-mama's window is open, but she isn't in her room. What's going on?" Hotaru looked as if she was going to cry.

-sigh- "I don't know, Hotaru, but we have to find them." Haruka said determined.

The two quickly threw on some slippers, and ran out the door. They ran down every wide, darkened street with a small flashlight. Haruka looked behind every house. Hotaru looked behind every standing building.

"YYEEEOUCH! I think I stepped on something!" Hotaru wailed. Haruka pointed the flashlight on it.

"A…gun? Ar-Are you ok?" Haruka gasped. "It looks like the one in my dream."

Suddenly, they heard a crashing gunshot in the dark. Haruka felt burning blood on her hand, where she was holding Hotaru's arm. Flashes of light surrounded them, and Haruka could hear a shattering laughter, but the voice sounded very familiar. Rain poured harder, murkier, the sky became pale and crimson.

"SETSUNA!?!?" Haruka screamed. "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?!?! SHOW YOURSELF!!"

"AHHHHOOOOWWW!!!!" Hotaru cried as blood dripped painfully fast. Haruka pulled Hotaru close.

An Inner Senshi Sleepover...

"Ah, what's that noise, Usagi-chan? …Your stomach?" Rei asked sarcastically as usual.

"Num…num.…num…Kiss me Darien, kiss me." Usagi pulled Rei close to her lips.

"USAGI-CHAN!!!!!!!!" Rei screamed.

-anime fall-

"Huh? Wha?" Usagi looked around.

"The noise…did you hear that?" Rei said once more. "It sounded like a gunshot!"

"Oh...it's probably the wind. Geeze, go back to bed Rei!" Usagi complained.

Setsuna let another bullet loose.

"SETSUNA!!!!!!" Haruka shouted and wraped Hotaru closer in her arms.

"There it is again!" rei said. "I'm getting werid vibes, let's go check it out!"

With inclination to fight, Rei and Usagi woke the other Inner Senshi in order to defeat evil. But was Setsuna, really evil? Rei felt surges of harm…strange surges of violence coming from somewhere nearby.

"SETSUNA!!!! HOW COULD YOU!!!?!?!?!??!!" Haruka roared, pulling Hotaru tightly under her arms. "YOU SHOT YOUR OWN DAUGHTER!!!"

"Mwhahaha…for it is you that do not understand, celebrity star, Miss Tenou! You never wanted that child. All you worried about was that star role! Didn't you!? Didn't you?! Little Hotaru means nothing to you!! Her life is just as worthless and pitiful as yours!!" Setsuna rebelled. "No good may become of you, Sky Goddess, for The Sea has turned against you."

"No!!! No!!! It isn't true!!!!" Haruka blocked her ears and screamed. "IT'S NOT TRUE!!"

"Little Hotaru isn't so oblivious to the fact she's overseen compared to a star role! Is she now, Celebrity Ruka-chan?! Mwhahaha!!!" Setsuna carried on.

"Stop you impostor!!!" a voice from behind the red dimmed skies.

"What?!? Who are you!?" Setsuna turned around.

"I am here to help my fellow Outer Senshi, and YOU, Setsuna-chan are NO help. And, On behalf of the moon, I shall punish you!" Usagi chanted.

"Usagi-chan!?!?!" Haruka said surprised.

"Let's see you fight, Blondie." Setsuna said.

"SPIRAL MOON HEART ATTACK!!!!" Usagi attacked.

Setsuna trembled to the ground and dusted herself off. "Ha! Is that all you have, Blondie?

"DEAD SCREAM!!!!" Setsuna shouted.

Usagi feel to the ground.

"Hotaru-chan shouldn't deserve to live with a mother who neglets her!" Setsuna turned to Haruka.

Setsuna pulled the last trigger.



**Could The Time Guardian truly defeat Sailor Moon? Is Hotaru alive? Is...Haruka alive?? Where's Michiru? What the heck is Haruka doing? Is it a dream? What's the title mean? WHAT'S GOING ON?!?!?!?!!??…-ahem-…These are all question which will be answered in Chapter 2. Enjoy…** Please review!

Je ne,
