Disclaimer for my own sanity:
I wrote this story back in 1999. I don't think it's too bad, but I don't know what I was thinking way back then either so don't be too harsh on me :P

This fic's storyline was taken fromthe movie True Lies. I'd rate the whole story R, but as for the prologue, I'd rate it PG or possibly PG-13. Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoy!

A Senshi's True Lies
- Prologue (revised) -
A fancy party at a huge mansion. The perfect cover for a midnight gathering of scandals and crimesters. No one suspects anything, or so they think. A secret agency has already caught onto their plan, and is currently taking serious action undercover.
A lake nearby the mansion is the perfect place to sneak in. Their best agent is under the surface, using a blowtorch to detach the bars underwater. This person gets through the bars, and swims closer to her destination. She surfaces, using a knife to cut through the thick ice. She takes off her diving mask, and slowly gets out, while waiting for a guard with a dog to move away. She sneaks around a shed, opens the bag she has brought, and speaks into a communicator.
"Honey I'm home."
"Roger that. Copy at the boat house. Right on time." In a truck on a hill far away from the mansion, yet with a perfect view through binoculars, Yaten answers the agent's call. "Taiki get in here. Haruka-san's inside."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming."
Haruka removes her diving suit, and is already dressed in a formal tuxedo.
"Okay, you've got your fur-coated razor blade, a bunch of guys with guns…" Yaten's voice trails off, waiting for a response.
"I'm switching to subvocal now." Haruka states, putting a small communicator in her ear. "Check, check."
"It's talk radio, you're on the air," Yaten jokes.
Haruka flips a switch on a small device which appears to be a bomb. She puts on a jacket and male cologne to complete her disguise.
"Okay, the guard nearest to you is moving away," Yaten informs Haruka. Now speaking to himself and his partner he reports, "She's at the service door…she's inside."
Haruka casually walks in the back door. As to not arouse any suspicions from her entrance, she makes a rude comment to the cooks about the food. Walking nearer to the main dance floor, with the Blue Danube Waltz playing in the background, she slyly steals a champagne glass from a waiter.
"Have you seen Tsukino Usagi yet?" Yaten asks, referring to a major suspect.
"Yep, there she is. How come billionaires are always short?" She comments, as it was hard to spot her. Next to her she sees another blond-haired girl speaking with her. Haruka thinks she looks familiar, but just can't place the face. The girl looks up and spots Haruka, but doesn't recognize her either, although she should.
"Okay, you should be crossing the main foyer heading for the stairs."
"Mm-hmm."
"Keep moving, keep moving."
Haruka enters a darkened room.
"I'm in the library, heading for the second floor balcony." She goes outside to the balcony, and begins to climb up the side of the mansion to the second floor. With guards on the ground below her, she quietly hops over the railing, and enters another darkened room. She connects a transmitter to a computer. "Modem in place. Transmitting now."
"Affirmatory ," Taiki says, running the computer in the van. "It's a good hookup. These are encrypted files guys, it's gonna take me a few minutes…uh-huh, yeah, I got their password."
Meanwhile, Haruka sneaks out the door, and a guard spots her. She makes the excuse that she was looking for the bathroom. The guard still suspects something. After he lets Haruka to the downstairs, he speaks into a communicator, and tells the other guards to watch 'him'. Two guards pass her, and she pretends to look at some statues, as to not let them see her. Haruka stands up, and next to her is the blond-haired woman she spotted before.
"Uh, magnificent, isn't it?" Haruka asks, referring to the statues.
"Yes, quite," the girl answers. "I thought I knew most of Usagi-chan's friends but I don't believe I've met you before."
"No, we haven't met, because I'm sure I would've remembered… Kaioh. Kaioh Haruka." She knows better than to use her real last name in an undercover mission.
"Aino Minako," the girl says, introducing herself.
Yaten hears her name and types it into the computer, trying to get a file on her.
"C'mon, c'mon… Aino Minako. Arts and antiquities dealer, specializing in ancient Persian."
Outside, one guard spots the break in the ice and informs the others.
"Um, Haruka-san, guards are going haywire out here. They know your there."
Haruka knows she can't get out right away, so she does the next best thing to hide her presence. She asks Minako, "Do you Tango?"
"Mm-hmm." Minako is pulled to the dance floor.
Yaten is in shock.
"Tango? Haruka-san? Haruka-san! You do not have time to Tango, you copy?"
Haruka does her best to hide her appearance during the dance.
"Okay, Haruka-san, don't be stopping to smell the roses now, you copy? You've got to get out of there." Yaten storms.
"Yes!" A sudden outburst from Taiki sends Yaten jumping backwards. "Files are unlocked. Taiki-sama strikes again. I'm in, I'm down baby. I've got my hand up her dress and I am going for it I-"
"Just copy the god damn files okay!" Yaten screams.
Haruka tries her best throughout the rest of the dance to play the guy, for that is the impression Minako and everyone else at the party is under. The dance finishes, and the two walk off the dance floor.
Minako giggles.
"And I thought this was just going to be another boring banquet off bankers and oil billionaires."
Yaten is extremely frustrated at this point.
"Haruka-san, seconds count, ditch the bitch!"
"Unfortunately, I have to leave. I have a plane to catch." Haruka states untruthfully.
"Oh, well…" Minako disappointedly pulls a phone card out of a most inappropriate place. "Call me sometime. Maybe we can get together later."
"I would like that." Haruka slowly walks away, staring at the number as if she's interested.
"Okay, Haruka-san, what's your exit strategy?" Yaten asks impatiently.
"I'm going to walk right out of the front gate."
"Whatever. Just be careful."
Haruka doesn't even get ten feet before a man asks her for her invitation. Haruka replies in a deep voice, "Sure. Here's my invitation." She presses a button on a small box and sets off an explosion just a short distance away. The guard is stunned by the blast, and Haruka quickly kicks him out. This sets off a quick chain reaction of dogs and guards chasing after her.
"Slight change in plans."
"Here we go!" Yaten warns, as him and Taiki start up the van to meet Haruka at the bottom of a hill.
Meanwhile, she dodges bullets from all directions, heading towards her team and out of death's jaws. Being skilled in this field, she pulls out her own gun and fires, hitting a guard with each shot. Nearly toppling down the hill, she reloads and fires again at her pursuers, now on skis and snowmobiles.
Yaten, having his own problems staying on the icy road, nearly misses Haruka as she appears in front of them.
"There she is, stop!" Taiki yells.
"Woah!" Yaten slows the van to a stop. "Oh, that worked good. Right out the front gate, huh?"
"Can you lean back a second?" Haruka shoots two guards still in pursuit through the open window.
"Did you honestly have to do that?" Yaten asks, breathing heavily.
"Let's go. We can still make it back." Haruka jumps into the van and they take off.
