Disclaimer standards aply, Early edition and Sailor Moon are not mine, but I do own Kayla. This fic is for fun and not for profit. I am in no way making any money off of this.

A/n: I know that I shouldn't be starting a new story with so many in the works, but After watching yesterday's epsode of Early Edition, this idea just struck me. Pairings already predetermined, and this may get a little dark. If you don't like that then I suggest that you go back right now.

Chapter 1

The sea chined slowly pounding the large ship as people boarded it in droves. Others passed by waiting to loved ones. A both sat alongside the dock with two men standing behind it handing out name tags and having people sign off on a sheet. One man dashed as if his life depended on it to the dock absently picking up a name tag off the table.

Upon racing aboard the ship, he bumped into someone he'd rather soon forget, who waisted no time pinning him to the nearest wall. "Here is what you have to do, so you had better listen. Since you impersonated the princess escort, then you will have to take his place with her. " the woman hissed and the man blinked in confusion as he found himself being drug half way across the ship.

"Princess?" the man asked in confusion as he tried to escape the death grip of the woman.

"Dear princess, your escort has arived." the woman stated kicking the man to bow in proper respect of her.

Gthe man supressed the urge to argue with the woman and did as painfully instructed. "A pleasure princess."

"Please, call me Tsuki-hime." the princess responded her soft sing-song like voice flowing gracefully from her soft lips.

"And, my name is Gary hobson, but you can call me Gary." Gary introduced wincing when that woman kicked him in the shins.

"Hobson...you shal use respect when talking to rolity." the female detictive hissed in his ear before depositing a ring in the palm of his hand. "and thats your engagment ring to present to the lady."

"Bergatti..." the man now known as Gary whispered back in a low hiss after the woman. It was then a sick feeling washed over him and he checked his watch. "by your leave princess I have something I have to do." He said with a bow.

"Permission granted." she smiled as Gary raced to stop the gas leak he had snuck on the ship in the first place for. Seeing that he had sucessfully changed the headlines, he headed back to where he had left the young moon princess although the time he didn't quite know who she was a princess of. "I'm sorry I had to do something." Gary said half out of breath.

"Its alright its understandable." the young princess replied.

"Do you mind filling me in as to what is going on..?" Gary asked.

"Iie...gomen... not here... demo...we can talk in private in my hotel, I'll explain all then." came the moon princess's reply.

"Yes m'am. So until then young lady shall we dance?" he asked.

"It would be my pleasure kind sir." the girl blushed bowing her head as she smiled at him. Gary responded with a slight bow and then kissed her hand before steping out on the dance floor.

"You know that you don't have to act all that formally around me. I for one can't stand it." she told Gary after they had been dancing for quite some time.

"I do if I want to avoid Toni's wrath." Gary joked as the female in question chose that moment to see how the young pair were getting along.

"So how are you two fairing?" she asked sweetly before turning a glare to Gary and whispered low enough so only he could hear. "you had better not be fucking this up.

"Everything is quite alright Bargetti-san." the princes confirmed. With a simple nod she left the two to their dancing.

By the late hours of the night the Tsuki-hime's eyes had begun to droop and her legs throbed with pain.

"Are you ok?" Gary asked.

"Hai, just a little tired. As you can see I'm not in the best of helth." she responded.

He nodded in understanding as the ship docked at the main dock and people started to disinbark from the boat. Gary felt sorry for the young lady that he had somehow got roped into escorting and planing to mary. Yet, at the same time wonder more about her. "allow me to escort you to your hotel my lady." he offered.

Half out of it and completely limp from the legs down, the young princess had no choice but to except his offer. Although, he appeared to be a kind man and someone she wouldn't mind seeing more of figuratively speaking. After all she did lack the ability to see.

She shivered as the cool night air nipped at her skin wishing that she didn't have to use all of her strength on keeping up her princess form for much longer. Over time she had mastered the ability to change from normal girl, to sailor senshi, to her true form and hold them for a cirtain amount of time. But, even she had her limits. She had long since retracted her wings, because of the fact they would have given her away, and if that were not enough, keeping herself in that dress and keeping the symbol of her family blazing her forehead were hard enough.

Gary had kept to his word and took the young woman to her hotel and even had gone as far as giving her his jacket. Part of him wanted to ask if he was no longer needed, and part of him wanted to stay and make sure that she would be taken care of. He fought with option for quite some time before settling on staying to see how she'd be.

After unlocking the door and allowing him to enter, the young moon princess vanished into the bathroom and shed her princess form. In a flash of light her dress had vanished along with the crescent moon that marked the symbol of her family leaving her clad only in her birthday suit. She hadn't planned on being out so late, nor planed on being stuck in a place she didn't quite know for quite some time. In fact if anything she felt used.

Almost forgetting that Gary waited for answers from her, she slipped over to the tub and turned the water as hot as it would go and testing it. It was then she remembered about Gary and left the tub to fill. "sorry to keep you waiting." she said after appearing in the frame of the door leading into the main bedroom.

"thats..." Gary started and if it were possible his jaw would have hit the floor upon the seeing the girl for the first time.

Her hair seemed short and underbrushed. Her body as a whole lacked clothing but appeared a lot darker in contrast to the dress she war. Her brown eyes seemed void of any life tired and ready to close of their own accord at any moment. And, her flawless skin now was marred with many blemishes. In all respects she looked nothing like the princess that he had just escorted here.

"First off my name is Kayla Tsukino, although I've gone by many names and I take on many forms. This you could say is my normal form. The form you saw tonight was that of my past self, who I used to be over 10,000 years ago. I also have a senshi form in which I use to fight." she explained as she limped her way over to the bed sliding in to cover her nude form embarrassed that she couldn't find anything to slip into her hips swaying and her breasts bouncing as she walked.

The reason I am here is because I have a very priceless jewel that many a jewl thief would love to get their hands on, but there is a catch." she began.

"A catch?" Gary asked.

"Hai, it exists within my blood stream." she continued as if she had never been interrupted. "Your cop friend and her partner, Me and mine were suposted to trap the jewel t heaves because they are on search for slightly more, but I fear for the worse. If anyone wants what I have, then heads will roll quite literally." she continued, but Gary just had to interrupt one more time.

"what do you mean?" he asked shock reflecting clearly in his voice.

"I'm not exactly human, but at the same time I am. I once lived on the moon, but now live on earth. When my kingdom died all those years ago, my mother sent my sister and myself to a new future on earth knowing that the dark forces would one day return to finish what they started. I'm but the twin sister to the person given the right to the thrown, but for this under cover job most people I'm my sister because we look so much alike. Luna sent me because she couldn't risk Usagi getting involved being that she may be with child. Or, so I was told. Yet I doubt that to be true since she shouldn't be for another few years considering we have to fallow a cirtan path." she finished, "But, they show little respect for me and I don't have as much to offer. I'm to much of a "health risk."" she finished.

"Oh, Tsuki-hime I'm so sorry." Gary said as he hugged her when the tears begun to fall.

""When I'm not in that form you can call me Kayla." Kayla responded through her tears.

"Kayla, I'm sure they don't hate you, and I deferentially don't. Please don't give up so quickly." Gary urged.

"Why shouldn't I just end it now? I can you know destroy the half of the crystal that is mine." Kayla sobbed. "you see the crystal's power can't be contained so thus it was broken in half and given to the two moon children. If I destroy my half, not only would it kill me, but it would save not only your life, but the entire planet."

"No... there has to be another way. I didn't want to be in this mess but since I've been dragged into it, I'm going to keep an eye on you. Your more important then you yourself may realize, and we will just see this through I promise." Gary said as he held her firmly in his arms rocking with her until her sobbing had stopped and her eyes started to close.

:I might as well rough it and hang out here with her all night.: Gary thought as he flicked off the television she had left on before turning out the lights and going to sleep for the night. Although that didn't mean that he wasn't a little concerned with how well Kayla would take with a strange man sleeping next to her, but then again there a lot of things he didn't quite count on.

But, for now he would have to take things as they came. No mater what the risks or the costs.

She groaned in her sleep turning to face him, but Gary was already out like a light. Slowly she reached out to see if she was alone in bed, and when she felt Gary's form she smiled to herself allowing sleep to over take her.
