I'd like to say that this sequel isn't that long. It's kind of a filler, but I left it open for future fics if I so wish. Which I do so wish, but I've not gotten inspiration just yet.
Summary: Mamoru returns to Tokyo a year after being bitten only to find Usagi and Seiya are engaged. Believing that Usagi will never be able to love him as a vampire, he seeks revenge on the person who bit him: Haruka.
In reality, I don't own Sailor Moon, Seramyu, or anything else officially. But in my mind, I own it all...but my mind ran away...v.v
A tall figure with jet-black hair stared at Tokyo, his eyes cold yet sad. The cold winter wind cut through his black leather jacket but he did not shiver once. He bowed his head, memories surging through his mind…
Uranus knelt before Vampiru. "Welcome to the clan Uranus," Vampiru smiled. "Now it is time for you to eat." A barely conscious human was pulled in and dropped unmercifully before the Senshi. "Drink, and be filled with power."
Uranus reached out and pulled the human into a sitting position. She could feel the pulsing of his heart. "Uranus…yameru…" the man said. "It's me…Mamoru…"
"Drink," Vampiru ordered. "Let his blood fill you with power!"
Uranus lowered her mouth to Mamoru's neck and sank her fangs into his flesh. She greedily began to drink, relishing the taste of the blood as it slid down her throat. Vampiru smiled, laughing quietly. When Uranus had had her fill, she let Mamoru's body fall to the ground. He looked up at her and smiled weakly. "Remember…your… mission…" he whispered. His eyes misted over and closed as a final breath rattled out of his chest…

A pair of blue eyes opened. A figure stumbled onto the sand. Wet jet-black hair was plastered to the man's head. Mamoru looked around and could see that everything was sharper and clearer. Hundreds of smells invaded his nose. He swallowed and felt his canines had lengthened. A hunger burned within and a sweet smell met his nose. He turned and saw a young woman walking alone on the beach. Without even thinking he rushed forward and tackled her to the ground. He tore into her neck and greedily began drinking her blood as she cried out for help.
He let her fall when he had completely drained her, his chest heaving. He licked the blood from his lips, a faint smile on his face. Realization of what he had just done sank in and he stared at the body. He threw his head back and screamed in rage at what he had become. He fell to his knees, his eyes dark and cold. "You'll pay for this Haruka," he snarled…
Chiba Mamoru pushed the memories away. A year had passed since his transformation into a vampire. He had followed the Senshi back to Tokyo. A part of him wanted to return to them, telling them everything and hoping that they would still accept him. The dark part of his soul, however, wanted justice for what had been done to him. He was still undecided at what he wanted to do. He turned and got back into his black car. He drove into Tokyo and parked the car in a garage.

Mamoru walked down the streets, heading for the Hikawa Shrine where he knew the others would be. I'll tell them…they won't care… he told himself. A smile formed on his face and he continued walking as night fell over the city. He arrived at the steps of the shine and hurried up them. He stopped near Rei's room and composed himself when laughter met his ears. He moved around to the window and looked in.
The nine Senshi were sitting around, talking and laughing. What drew his attention, however, was Usagi being held by a man that Mamoru recognized as Seiya. A ring on Usagi's left hand caused tears to stream from Mamoru's eyes. His head bowed as his shoulders slumped forward. A familiar voice said something and his head rose. Cold blue eyes glared at Haruka. Rage burned in Mamoru's heart.
"You took me away from her…now you'll pay," he snarled softly. He turned and left the temple grounds, vengeance the only thing on his mind.

Michiru stood on the balcony of the room, the wind making her shiver slightly. A heavy blanket was suddenly placed around her. She smiled and turned to Haruka. "You seem pretty okay with Seiya-kun asking for Usagi-chan's hand."
The blonde lowered her head. "Koneko-chan deserves some happiness after I…" Michiru cut her off by placing her hand over the blonde's mouth.
"That wasn't the real you Haruka. Usagi-chan knows that and forgives you. When will you forgive yourself?"
"Never," she whispered. "He was the prince. We were meant to protect him."
"Ruka, we can't change what happened. Besides, I've never seen Usagi-chan so happy. Seiya-kun does care deeply for her. Can you honestly say she was this happy with Mamoru-san?"
Haruka looked down. "It still doesn't excuse me for what I did," she replied.
"I know. But you can't keep blaming yourself for what happened." Haruka looked down. Michiru held the blonde. "You forgave Vampiru, why not yourself?"
"I don't know," Haruka whispered.
Michiru looked up into the teal eyes of her lover. "Ashiteru yo Haruka. Nothing in this world will ever change that."
"What did I do to deserve you Michiru?" Haruka whispered.
"You saved my life," she returned. "I'll never leave you."
"I have something for you," Haruka said. Michiru frowned as the Wind Senshi pulled out a black velvet box. She opened it and held it out to Michiru.
The Sea Senshi peered inside at the ring. A pair of jewels rested in the center of the silver band. The bottom jewel was sea green and the top was deep blue. She pulled the ring out and noticed an inscription on the inside of the band. 'The Sea and Sky always' it read. Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized it was a wedding ring. She looked up at Haruka, tears of joy shimmering in her eyes.
"Will you marry me?" Haruka asked softly.
Michiru threw her arms around the blonde in reply, kissing her repeatedly. "I will," she mumbled between kisses.
Haruka rested a hand on the smaller woman's lips and took the ring from her hand. The blonde gently held Michiru's hand and slipped the ring on her left ring finger. "Ashiteru yo Michiru," Haruka whispered. She suddenly grinned and picked the smaller Senshi up, causing her to let out a small cry of surprise. Haruka carried Michiru inside and closed the balcony doors with her foot. She walked to the bed and gently set Michiru down, lying next to the smaller woman as they began to kiss.

Minako and the others stared at the ring on Michiru's finger, their eyes wide. "Sugoi!" the Senshi of Love murmured.
Michiru smiled, staring at the ring. "It's exactly what I wanted too."
"Where is Haruka-san?" Usagi asked.
Michiru giggled. "Seiya-kun and the other two took her out for a 'guy's' night out," she said. "I just know they're going to get her so drunk."
The others, except for Setsuna, stared at Michiru. "A drunk…" Usagi and Rei began slowly.
"Haruka-san?" Minako, Ami, and Makoto finished.
The smile on Michiru's face widened even more as she nodded. "She acts like a small child when she's had too much."
"So she becomes Usagi-chan?" Rei asked, causing the others to laugh.
Usagi glared at Rei. "I do not act like a child!" she pouted. The others laughed louder as the pair began bickering.
"So when are you two going to take your vows?" Ami inquired.
Rei smiled. "Next week still, right?"
"Hai."
"Rei-chan's going to marry you?" Usagi asked. "Kakkoi…" she whispered. The eight women spent the next several hours talking about the upcoming wedding with Rei occasionally poking fun at Usagi.

"So you finally popped the question," Taiki commented.
Haruka nodded. "I did."
"I'm surprised she said yes," Seiya jibed, earning a painful punch from the Senshi of Wind. "I was kidding."
Haruka calmly shrugged. "So where are we going?"
"Guy's night out," Seiya answered, rubbing his arm.
"Even though everyone here is technically a woman?" Haruka smirked.
"We're in our male forms thank you!" Seiya shot back, sticking his tongue out.
"Keep it down Seiya!" Yaten muttered, watching as a woman passed by. They continued talking as the Starlights guided Haruka into a bar. They sat down at a table and ordered their drinks.
As the night wore on and the drinks kept coming, Haruka and Seiya were soon laughing and joking around with each other like they were the best of friends. Taiki looked at Yaten who shrugged. All four of them failed to notice the man dressed in black in the corner of the room, watching them with cold blue eyes.

Vampiru walked onto the shrine grounds. She wore a red shirt under a black and red jacket, silver designs sewn onto the leather, loose black leather pants, and black boots. The wind blew through her reddish black hair. Next to her stood a tall, handsome man with slicked back black hair and warm dark eyes. He wore elegant black dress clothes that made his face look paler than it was. The pair walked over to the dressed up Senshi. They easily spotted Rei in her miko outfit.
"Vampiru! Dracul!" Usagi greeted cheerfully.
"Nice to see you all again," Vampiru said with a bow.
Haruka came over and shook hands with Dracul. She wore a traditional man's wedding kimono for a Shinto wedding. "Glad you two could come."
"We are honored to be here," Dracul said in a suave voice.
"You guys are like family," Haruka said. She smiled faintly. "Even after all the…events…that happened last year." Vampiru bowed her head. "Not all of it was bad Vampiru. It helped bring me closer to the woman I love." The half-vampire nodded.
"Where is Michiru-san?" Dracul asked.
"She should be here soon," Haruka answered. "I called and she's on her way." The others nodded and continued talking.

Michiru walked down the street, butterflies swarming in her stomach. A large smile was on her face and she seemed to be glowing. As she walked down the street a cold wind suddenly sprang up and she stopped, suddenly very wary. She slowly looked around, the smile gone from her face. She went back to heading for the Hikawa Shrine when a figure appeared in front of her. She stopped and stared, her eyes wide. "Ma…Mamoru-san!" she exclaimed. "We thought you were dead!"
He slowly raised his head and opened his eyes. "Your lover will pay for everything," he said softly.
Michiru stared in fear. "Haruka never meant…" she began when Mamoru blurred in. They fell to the ground, the bag of clothes falling from Michiru's hand. She struggled to throw the vampire off. He viciously backhanded her, stunning her. He rose to his feet and picked her up, the ring on her finger sliding off, having been loosened in the scuffle.
Mamoru quickly walked to his black car and roughly threw Michiru into the backseat. He pulled out a syringe and jammed it into her leg. He pushed the plunger all the way down and smiled coldly when her eyes fell close. He pulled out the needle and tossed it to the ground. He slipped into the driver's seat and drove away.

Haruka paced around, something not feeling right. "Relax, will you?" Seiya ordered as he lounged in a chair.
"Something isn't right. She should've been here by now," Haruka said.
"Maybe traffic was bad," Minako suggested.
Vampiru suddenly came running up, a bag in one hand and the other holding something. "I found this," she said grimly.
Haruka took the bag and looked inside. "These are Michiru's clothes…demo…"
"And I found this," Vampiru whispered. She pressed the small object into Haruka's hand. The blonde stared at the wedding ring she had given Michiru. "I don't know where Michiru-san is…demo…I could smell a vampire had been in the same spot at the same time."
Haruka lifted her head, her teal eyes cold. "Show me," she ordered. Vampiru nodded and took the others to the area where she had found the bag and ring.
"Whoever took her drove off in a car," Vampiru added.
"I can try and trace it," Ami said. She ran back to the shrine to retrieve her mini-computer. The others looked around, hoping for a clue. Haruka merely paced around, clenching and unclenching her fists in frustration.

Michiru opened her eyes and found herself lying on a strange bed. She sat up and looked around. A figure in black emerged from the shadows and grinned at her. Michiru searched for her henshin pen but Mamoru held it up. "Can't have you fighting back," he informed her.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Your precious lover took everything from me. I'm simply returning the favor."
"Haruka never meant…" Michiru began.
"She could have stopped!" Mamoru shouted. "I know she was strong enough to. But none of that matters now. What's done is done."
"Revenge isn't the answer Mamoru-san."
"It is for me."
Michiru slowly rose to her feet and backed away. "So what are you going to do? Kill me?" she asked.
He stalked towards her until she was trapped in a corner. "You will soon see," he whispered. Michiru stared into his hypnotic eyes. He tilted her head to the side and softly kissed her neck.
"Ha….Haruka…" Michiru whimpered. She cried out in pain when Mamoru sank his fangs into her neck. She felt her blood being pulled out. She sagged in his arms, growing weaker every second. After several minutes he stopped and wiped the blood off of her neck.
He gently placed her on the bed and smiled. "Soon you will rise and be mine," he whispered, a cruel smile on his face. "But that will only be the beginning of her pain." He straightened and walked out of the room, locking the door behind him.
