AN: I'm not even gonna apologise for what's coming. If you don't want to read it, skip ahead.

Disclaimer: Sailor moon isn't mine. And writing these things is gonna be really tedious, since I still have 20 chapters left…well, no help for it.

ill met by sunlight, proud wolf.

School was over. The gaggles of fangirls that surrounded Michael finally dissipated, allowing him to put in a phone call. "It's me. Any word on the registration process?"

"No, sir. It'll take at least another day. Apologies."

"It's fine. Just checking on the progress. Are the phones on the way?"

"They should arrive at your current address tonight."

"Very well. They are as ordered?"

"Of course. Also, there's something you should check out."

"Oh?"

"Yes. It appears our rivals, the Moonfire organization, have contacted the girls."

"Oh, indeed?"

"Yes sir."

"This is the perfect opportunity to find out if they are truly as corrupt as our sources believe."

"Indeed. Then, if there's nothing else..."

"No. Signing off." He hung up and started to walk to the Tsukino house. On his way, he met a young man who seemed to be waiting for someone. Michael paid little attention to him and kept going. Then, he realised the man was waiting near the Tsukino house. He turned to the man. "Hello. Who are you?"

"Chiba Mamoru. I'm Usagi's boyfriend."

"Ah. Good choice. I prefer the cold, semi-gothic types myself though..."

"So, who are you? And where do you live? I've never seen you around here before."

"I'm staying with the Tsukino's. It's something professional. I'm probably not supposed to tell you anything else, but I may be wrong. My name is Michael. I'm from America, if you haven't guessed."

"Huh. Wait...you're staying with Usagi? Has anything...strange happened?"

"Oh, so you DO know about her, then?"

"Her what?"

"Her being Sailor Moon. I figured it out a couple days ago, thanks to some quick snoop work by my subordinates. That, and the fact that we're currently allied with the soldiers."

"She hasn't told me any of this, but then we've been out of touch for the past little while because of school. So, what do you know about the others?"

"Pretty much everything they told me. Which, with the exception of Uranus, Neptune, and the Starlights, was actually a pretty good amount. They unfortunately wouldn't say anything about that Tuxedo Mask guy. Said it was his place, not theirs. Ah well. I'm pretty sure I've got it figured out. Huh?"

"Listen, if you do anything to hurt Usagi..." Mamoru stood right in Michael's face and tried to look intimidating. Michael didn't even react, but his eyes were suddenly cold and deadly.

"Don't worry, man. She's safer with me in that house than if there was an entire squad of marines. Unless she eventually gets into a situation where she won't make the right decision. In which case, I will do whatever is necessary."

"I won't let you hurt her!" Suddenly, Mamoru transformed into Tuxedo Mask!

"Oh, indeed? I thought so. Lucky you, all I have is this bokuto. I'll warn you, I defeated Saturn the other day. So, let's do this thing, yes?"
