SailorStar9: With Chapter 65 out, this is Chapter 66 of this fic. Remember boys and girls, reviews are an author's subsistence. Really, is it so difficult for you guys to review instead of just putting this fic up in your favorites and alerts?

Pairings: No official Tieria/Ami for this Book, sorry. Just canon Mamoru/Usagi and quite possible Setsuna/Hotaru in S Season.

Standard BS Disclaimers: I do not own Sailor Moon, Gundam 00 or the pairings. If I did, the other Senshi would be as powerful as Sailor Moon and kicking MOTD ass more often and VEDA would have least an anti-hacker program installed. The only thing I do own is the plot.

Chapter 66: A Beautiful Boy? The Secret of Tenou Haruka


After school, a few days later...

"We're studying for entrance exams again at Rei's place." Usagi sighed, walking past the Crown Arcade. "I can't." she tried to steel herself from entering the gaming arcade. "I have to bear it until the entrance exams are over. Everyone else is doing their best too. What?" she skidded back, seeing Minako's back inside the game center.

"Usagi?" Minako was cut off in mid-conversation with Motoki over the cashier counter.

"I was thinking everyone else was doing their best, so I was keeping myself away." Usagi fumed. "And yet, you're here."

"I lured Minako in." Motoki spoke up. "I asked her if she wanted to come in every once in a while because she can get tired from studying too much."

"If that's the case, over here." Minako pulled Usagi off.

"I think we should be going to Rei's place soon." Usagi reminded Minako, after losing the racing game. "Or otherwise..."

"There's no time for that." Minako snapped. "If we stop now, who's going to conquer the Formula One world in the future?"

"Then, ojou-chan, can I drive alongside you?" Haruka spoke.

"You're..." Minako instantly grew hearts in her eyes.

"Kidding!" Usagi was in the same boat.

"Go right ahead." Minako pushed Usagi out of the player's seat to offer the seat to Haruka. "Complete defeat." she sighed after the 'Game Over' logo flashed on her screen.

"That's not true." Haruka corrected. "You did pretty well. I guess cute girls have good gaming sense as well."

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Haruka." Michiru stepped in.

"See you later." Haruka bade the two younger girls farewell as she left with Michiru.

"Come to think of it, I've been seeing the two of them around here a lot." Motoki recalled.


In Professor Tomoe's laboratory...

"Kaolinite," Professor Tomoe started. "Did you find it? A human with a chosen Pure Heart."

"I have a good idea already." Kaolinite answered.

"Go, Daimon Egg." Professor Tomoe sent his new Daimon Egg out. "Take a Pure Heart and bring it to me."


In the Kameda Motor repair shop...

The Daimon Egg implanted itself into the steering wheel the mechanic was working on.


In the Hikawa Shrine...

"I wonder if it's pollen." Rei muttered, sneezing.

"You have to be careful during this season." Ami cautioned.

"In any case, Usagi and Minako sure are late." Makoto pointed out. "What are both of them doing?"

"I'm worried that's it's both of them." Ami stated. "I wonder if something happened."

"In any case, knowing the two of them, don't you think they probably found a cute boy and followed them?" Rei suggested.

"Impossible." Ami chuckled. "Even they..."

All three Inner Senshi sighed in unison after a moment of silence.


In the Kameda Motor repair shop...

After finishing his repairs, Kameda reached for the car's steering wheel and activated the Daimon Egg within in, transforming the car into Daimon Steering.

"I'll take that Pure Heart which rides on your dreams." Steering told Kameda. "Jack Up!" she tossed several metal clamps at Kameda and hoisting him up on four poles.

"Stop that!" Usagi shouted as she and Minako ran into the repair shop, only to have Minako slip on a puddle of split oil and causing Usagi to crash into her, both blonde girls to then crashed into a pile of oil cans.

Moving underneath Kameda, Steering revealed the black star mark between her breasts and extracted the mechanic's Heart Crystal. "I'll now have this crystal checked by Kaolinite-sama to see if it's a Talisman." the Daimon claimed the cross-shaped crystal and drove off.

"Oh no." Usagi dug herself free. "We have to hurry and get his Hearty Crystal back. Moon Cosmic Power, Make Up!"

"Venus Star Power, Make Up!" Minako transformed as well


On the canal that was Steering's makeshift race course...

"Let's go, Michiru." Haruka was on her motorcycle with Michiru as a passenger as the two Outer Senshi gave chase after the Daimon. Using the canal wall as leverage, Haruka crashed her motorcycle into Steering from the air.

"This is too dangerous." the Daimon moaned. "I'm glad I was wearing a helmet."

"We finally caught up with you." Sailor Moon voiced, arriving with Sailor Venus on a bicycle.

"The Pure Heart of a man chasing his dreams!" Sailor Venus barked.

"We won't let villains take it away." Sailor Moon declared. "I am the pretty Sailor Senshi of Love and Justice, Sailor Moon! In the name of the Moon, I will punish you!"

"I will not allow any more traffic obstructions to block my driving." Steering growled and grew spikes from her wheels.

"Hold it!" Sailors Uranus and Neptune chorused.

"Guided by a new Era, Sailor Uranus acts with elegance." the Sky Senshi presented herself.

"Also guided by a new Era, Sailor Neptune acts with grace." the Ocean Senshi posed.

"We have a reason to seek the Talismans." Sailor Uranus declared.

"We won't let you have the Heart Crystal." Sailor Neptune stated.

"World Shaking!" Sailor Uranus fired her attack when Steering turned her attention to them.

"Deep Submerge!" Sailor Neptune blasted her attack at the weakened Daimon.

"Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" Sailor Moon wasted no time in taking out the Daimon.

"This isn't a Talisman, either." Sailor Neptune inspected the fallen Heart Crystal Sailor Uranus had picked up.

"Looks that way." Sailor Uranus agreed. "Sailor Moon." she tossed the Heart Crystal to Sailor Moon. "Return that to its rightful owner."


The next day, at the Crown Arcade...

"Oh..." Michiru started, she and Haruka approached the five Inner Senshi.

"Michiru..." Usagi blinked.

"Aren't you with Haruka today?" Minako was instantly in front of Michiru.

"I am." Michiru answered.

"Where's this cute guy?" Rei jumped on top of Minako.

Michiru just smiled and gestured to the taller girl beside her.

"A girl..." Rei gawked at the jacket-less Haruka, her slightly unbuttoned shirt revealing her feminine form.

"I don't recall ever saying I was a guy." Haruka stated.

"We don't have time for all this." Ami sighed in embarrassment.

"Ami-chan, is that you?" Michiru spotted her younger cousin.

"Michiru-nee?" Ami blinked.

"Ami, you know Michiru?" Usagi was surprised.

"Yes," Ami nodded. "We're second cousins; Michiru-nee was the one who got me interested in music in the first place."
