Chapter 1: Love at First Sight

------------------------------------------Spring 1996: Ourin Middle School---------------------------------------------

The sun shined brightly in the sky. Ourin Middle School was crowded with people who was going to watch the Tokyo Athletic Competition between Middle School Student. However, some minutes ago, something had just disturbed the event.

"Do you know? There was a monster in the back of the school!"

"I know… but it already disappeared right?"

"Yeah, I heard a sailor senshi destroyed it!"

The girls were chatting near the field. A girl with dark skin in a track suite was wandering around as if something was missing.

"Elsa!"

The short reddish-brown haired girl turned around to find what she had been looking for, "There you are, Michiru!" she ran to her friend, "Where were you? I heard there was a monster!"

"Don't worry, I just from… my locker, I forgot something", she lied. There was no way she would tell Elsa that she just fought a monster herself. She tried to change topic, to avoid suspiciousness "When is your race?"

"Just in a few minutes- Hey! There is something I want to show you!" She grabbed Michiru's hand and led her to the spectator's seats. "Look there?" She pointed out her target.

"Mmm… Elsa… I think it was SOMEONE rather than something!"

"Whatever, look at that one! She is Tenoh Haruka"

"Which one? The brunette?"

"No! Behind the brunette, she is warming up now"

"I can's see-" the figure got up as she finished her warm up. She stood tall compared to the other racer even Elsa, "her…"

Michiru's eyes shined in amazement as she saw the tall girl. Her heart beat was fastening and she was feeling hot as her face was blushing. Her hair was short blond and she looked strong and well built which made her even more tomboyish but somehow, it made her even more attractive.

"Michiru?" Elsa waved her hand but it seemed the other girl was in somewhere else, "M-I-C-H-I-R-U!" She shouted.

"W-what?"

"You were drifting out again!"

"Sorry…" She never felt like this before, 'What's wrong with me?' She confused with her feeling. She never felt so attracted to anybody even boys but toward this girl… she is… 'Beautiful'

"Well, I think there is something wrong with you today…" Then, Elsa started to laugh, "On second thought, there is no way it couldn't be true"

"What you suppose to mean by THAT?"

Elsa laughed even harder, "Well, you are too perfect to be wrong… I bet it's going to rain if it's happen"

Before Michiru could reply anything, she felt something dropped on her face. She touched it and it was, "Water?"

The rain started to falling to the ground and wetting the area. Everybody started to run, hiding under the roof before they got wet, then Elsa muttered, "You gotta be kidding"

"Attention to all racers! Since the sudden change of weather, we have to cancel the schedule today to tomorrow at the same time! Attention…"

The rain was getting harder and the field almost empties, "Michiru, I will go get my things. Wait me in the gate, ok?"

Elsa left toward the changing room while Michiru was going to run to the school building. However, she stopped as she realized that there was another figure that was still in the field. It was Tenoh Haruka. She wondered why the girl did not move a bit instead, she stood there, looking up toward the falling rain. Michiru ran to the girl, thought there might be something wrong with her.

As she approached her, somehow, she felt a strong wave of wind nearby. As if it surrounded the tall girl. She could feel the sea soared together with the blowing wind. It was a strange feeling but somehow comforting her.

"Excuse me…" The girl turned back, startled by Michiru sudden appearance. "Are you ok?"

She stared Michiru deep blue eyes with her green ones. "I am fine". Michiru felt that she was melting into those green eyes. The eyes of a warrior, strong but yet gentle. They looked at each other for a long time and then the tall girl broke them. "It just I want to stay in the rain for a while… really, it isn't like me…"

"Well, maybe some other time. You have race tomorrow right? I think its better we go now before you got sick" Michiru gave the other girl an assuring smile.

The blond girl looked at the aqua girl oddly and smiled back, "I guess you right"; she started to get all her things. She picked her jacket and threw it to Michiru while the other girl caught it in surprised.

"This is?"

"Cover yourself, I made you wet so used them", she smiled again to Michiru and then ran away.

Michiru remained there still with her eyes trailed the running form of the blond girl. She hugged the girl's jacket tightly and felt the cold rain became warm.

------------------------------------------Spring 1996: Kaioh's Residence---------------------------------------------

Michiru had just finished taking bath. While bathing, her thought was full of the new girl that she just met. The event today made her confused.

'Why I couldn't stop thinking about her?' She looked herself on the mirror, 'Will she be alright? She stood there for quite long time… No, no, no, Michiru! She is Elsa's rival, you shouldn't think about her but- ah!"

"Michiru-sama?"

Michiru startled with the sudden call of her name, "Ah, Yuri-chan, what was it?"

"You seem a little off… Are you ok?" The young maid worried, feeling her master was not in her usual self.

'I think so…' she thought herself,"I am fine… It just I have many errands lately…"

"Please, don't over work yourself, Michiru-sama"

"Don't worry… I can take care of myself, thank you, Yuri-can" Michiru smiled gently to the girl as Yuri smiled back.

"Do you need anything else, Michiru-sama?"

"No, thank you" she smiled to the maid, "You may go now... Yuri-chan? Something wrong?"

"Ah, no, Michiru-sama… I think today, your face looked different…"

"Different?"

"Yes… It seems so bright as if you are falling in love or something", then the word struck into Michiru's heart, "Ah, I am sorry, Michiru-sama… I think I have said too much… Please, excuse myself"

"It's ok, Yuri-chan… You may leave" as Yuri walked to the door, suddenly, Michiru called "Yuri-chan!"

"Yes?"

"Thank you", Michiru smiled genuinely.

Yuri looked confuse with what her master sudden expression, "Your welcome, Michiru-sama" and then she left.

Michiru walked toward her bed, feeling tired from the fighting with the monster and staying in the rain for quite a long time. However, there was something else that is more occupying her mind.

'I am in love?' As Yuri's word stumble in her head, she gazed at the jacket that hangs on the chair.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The world turned into darkness. Everybody turned into stone and then a big typhoon was whirling toward the cities and destroyed them included the human inside it. Michiru stood in there moving, not turned into stone. Then she saw three lights on the dark sky and flew out.

"Wake up, Neptune…" Michiru looked around her, seeing nothing but the dark of the sky, "Wake up, Neptune…"

Then a figure appeared behind her. It was a woman in the senshi uniform but her face was covered in the shadow. In her hand, there was a long rod with shape of key. "You again!"

"The end of the world almost came… you must find the talisman to save the world… for the sake of humanity"

"How I suppose to know where THESE talismans are? Why won't you show yourself?"

"When the time comes, you will know the answer"

"How I suppose to do things when I don't even have a clue!"

"You will find them or …"

An image of a girl appeared by the shadow and she was swallowed by the darkness.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Michiru woke from her nightmare with sweat all over her. Then she cried quietly.
