Here we go! Chapter two! I only ask that no one kill me for what happens at the end of this chapter. If I'm dead, who'll finish this story?...yeah, that's what I thought.
Thanks to amnesia nymph, X00001, petiyaka, aquaxeyes, RunningStorm, Ten'ousai, Soleil-Lune for reviewing! And amnesia nymph was once again the first to review! Extra plot pudding to you! And I've decided to do a little contest for reviews (I'm a review junkie...is there a rehab for that?). The first reviewer of this chapter will receive no more and no less than a small paragraph from tomorrow's update. Exciting, ne?
RunningStorm asked a good question in the review: "Are you going to be mean to Ruka and Michi again?" My reply is this: when am I NOT mean to Haruka and Michiru? If someone can name me one of my stories where nothing seriously bad happens to Haruka and Michiru, I'll make a character for you for this particular fic. And don't bother with my humor/parody fics either. I'm not counting those since I was just goofing off. But I've turned Haruka into a kid, "dubified" them, killed them, turned them evil...:goes on:...but first person to send me a review or a PM of a non-humor Sailor Moon fic (crossover or not) I'm nice to them in, I will make a character (evil only, sorry) for this fic. Okay? Okay!
Moving along...
I don't know if anyone noticed or anything, but for a very brief time Haruka's dubbed manga name was Alex, her name in this fic. I didn't realize it until I saw that on Wikipedia. I chose the name Alexandra because it means protector or something like that...I forget... Just a little interesting fact for you.
You guessed it, I don't own the rights or anything Sailor Moon that can make me money.
This fic is rated M because of violence, language, and adult themes...or adult moods as Usagi called 'em in that one Stars episode...
Alex leaned back against the wooden table and placed her arms behind her head as the warm autumn sun shone down on her. She smiled and closed her eyes behind the sunglasses, enjoying the first day of her week off.
"There's the loser," a familiar voice smirked.
Alex remained still. "Jade, don't make me get up and kick your ass," she said.
"You and what army?" Jade asked.
Alex grinned and sat up, looking at the four men. "Hey guys," she greeted.
Jade, a.k.a. Jadeite, smiled. "Not a whole lot."
"Somehow I doubt that," Alex returned.
"Oh be nice you two."
"When did you turn into the peace-maker Kieran?" 'Jade' asked of Kunzite.
"Since the two of you always seem to butt heads," 'Kieran' replied.
Alex smiled innocently. "So what brings you four out here?"
Zee, a.k.a. Zoisite, smiled. "We know you aren't dating anyone…"
"I am not going on another blind date," Alex immediately said.
"Oh come on," Nick, a.k.a. Nephrite, said. "She's smart, funny, beautiful…"
"Then you four can date her," Alex shot back.
"Oh come on. You'll love her. I promise it," 'Zee' grinned. "Don't make us pull out the puppy eyes."
Alex sighed. "Fine," she grumbled. "Where?"
"At the café down the street on the corner at five," 'Kieran' answered. "Nothing too fancy," he added.
She nodded and the four left. "Those guys…" she sighed with a grin.

The four men in question ducked into an alley and vanished, reappearing at the palace in their normal clothes. They walked to the middle of the room and knelt down. "Majesty," the greeted.
"Why are you four here?" she demanded.
"We persuaded the target to go on a blind date with you," Kunzite answered.
"She suspects nothing?"
"Nothing out of the ordinary Highness," Nephrite quickly said.
"We have been putting this plan into motion since you told us of your plan," Zoisite added.
Kyra frowned. "How so?"
"We have been posing as her friends, setting her up with bad dates over these past few months," Jadeite explained.
"Until you Milady," Kunzite finished.
Kyra smiled, clearly pleased with the Shitennou. "Perfect," she whispered. She looked at the four men. "Keep an eye on the Senshi. I want nothing to ruin this chance." They nodded in understanding.

Haruka carried Michiru into the bedroom, both their faces flushed from laughter and the small amount of alcohol they had had at their wedding. The blonde Senshi set the shorter woman on the bed and they kissed.
"I love you Michiru," Haruka whispered between kisses.
"I love you more," came the reply as the pair stared at each other, smiling.
"You win Michi," Haruka said softly.
Michiru smiled and pushed the black tuxedo jacket off of the blonde's shoulders. It fell to the ground and the Sea Senshi began working on the buttons to Haruka's white shirt. "What's my prize?" she asked seductively.
Haruka's skin quickened as Michiru's slender hands brushed her skin as she pushed the shirt off. "Anything you want," Haruka answered softly in a low, husky voice. The blonde's hands were busily undoing the ties of the sea green kimono Michiru was wearing. The garments fell to the bed and were pushed onto the floor.
Michiru smiled suddenly pushed Haruka down onto the bed. She kissed her lover as they finished shedding the remainder of each other's clothes. "Now behave," Michiru whispered in Haruka's ear.
"What about the door?" Haruka questioned.
"Setsuna-san took Hotaru with her to stay at a hotel tonight." Michiru grinned wickedly. "You're all mine tonight." Haruka smiled and kissed the aqua haired woman passionately, her hands pulling the Sea Senshi close…

Alex opened her eyes, the dream still fresh in her mind. She looked at the clock and grumbled at the time. She hauled herself up and pulled on a pair of black slacks and a loose white button up shirt. She secured a few of the top buttons and left the rest of the shirt open. She fastened a gold belt around her waist and it hung at an angle. She tied a red bandana around her left arm. She slipped on a pair of socks and walked to the door of her loft, grabbing her keys and a helmet. She pulled on her boots and walked out to her waiting motorcycle.
She fumbled for her keys when she bumped into someone. She regained her footing but the other person was not so lucky. Alex knelt down and dropped her helmet. "Are you all right?" she asked worriedly.
"I'm fine," the aqua haired woman said, rising to her feet with the help of Alex. She looked up at the tall teen with sea blue eyes. Alex stared in awe at the woman in front of her. "Are you all right?"
The white haired teen opened and closed her mouth, unable to form any words. The woman giggled and Alex shook herself. "I'm fine," she stammered, her heart thudding rapidly in her chest. She's beautiful…Why do I feel like I should know her?
The woman smiled and bowed slightly. "Glad to hear it…ano…"
Alex frowned slightly then it hit her. "Oh! Alex Ten'ou."
The woman stared. "Ten…Ten'ou?" she whispered.
Alex shifted uncomfortably at the woman's look. "Yeah…" She glanced down at her watch. "Sorry, but I'm running a bit late. Sorry to have bumped into you!" she called over her shoulder.
Michiru watched as Alex got on the bike and sped away. "Haruka…" she whispered, blinking away her tears.
- - - - - - - - - -
Alex stopped her bike outside of the café and calmed herself down. The aqua haired woman she had bumped into had looked familiar to her, but she couldn't place where she had seen her before. Shrugging to herself, she pulled the helmet off and set it down on the bike. She got off and picked the helmet up. She walked into the café and sat down at a table since she was a bit early. She placed the helmet on the table to the side and drummed her fingers on the tabletop, not really wanting to be there.
"Alex Ten'ou?" a melodic voice asked a few minutes later.
Her head lifted and she blinked in surprise as a beautiful woman with golden hair smiled warmly down at her. "Yes…" Alex said softly, stunned by the woman's beauty.
"My name is Kyra, Jade and them's friend," she said.
Alex smiled faintly. "Nice to meet you," she said as the woman sat down.
Kyra gave a timid smile. "I've never really done anything like this before," she giggled shyly.
The teen smiled, feelingly slightly light headed. "Don't worry," Alex told her.
Kyra smiled inwardly as the teen shook her head slightly. "Are you all right?" she asked aloud in a concerned voice.
"Yeah…little headache," Alex replied, rubbing her head.
"Did you want some aspirin or anything?" Kyra asked worriedly.
"I don't like taking medicine honestly," she replied.
Kyra smiled. "Me either, but I keep some on me in case someone else needs it."
"That's thoughtful of you," Alex commented.
"Thank you," Kyra replied. She continued to weave the spell over Alex. The teen's vision blurred and she swayed slightly in the chair. "Alex! Are you sure you're okay?" Kyra questioned.
Alex held her pounding head with one hand, the other keeping her balanced. What's…happening…to me…?
"Alex?" Kyra tried.
The room started spinning as the teen's head began throbbing even more. Her vision blurred again and she blacked out, falling to the floor of the café. The Shitennou moved out of the shadows and picked the girl up. Kunzite removed the henshin pen from her pocket and handed it to Kyra.
"Quickly," Kyra ordered. The four men nodded and vanished with their cargo. Kyra looked at the pen, a cold smile on her face. "She's mine now." She began laughing and vanished from sight.
- - - - - - - - - -
Alex weakly opened her eyes, confused as to where she was. She pushed herself up and saw that she was in a lavishly decorated room. "Whoa…" she whispered. She heard a door open and turned as Kyra walked in. Alex's breath caught in her throat when she saw Kyra in the shimmering gold dress. Kyra smiled warmly and the teen could hear her heart thudding loudly. She was certain Kyra could hear it as well.
"I'm glad to see you awake," Kyra said softly, her hips drawing Alex's gaze as she sauntered over to the bed.
Alex blinked and looked up into Kyra's golden eyes. "What happened? Last thing I remember was passing out in the café…" she said, falling silent when the woman placed her hand over Alex's mouth.
"Kiss me," Kyra whispered, her warm breath tickling the white haired teen's ear.
"Wha…what?" Alex stammered.
Kyra sat down on the bed, a strap falling off her shoulder. "Kiss me," she repeated in a sultry voice. Alex desperately thought of something to say, her mind screaming at her to run. Coming up with nothing, she did the next best thing. She rolled off the bed and backed away.
"I'd like to go now," Alex said. Where's that pen...
Kyra rose to her feet, the other strap sliding off as well. "Go? Go where? We've barely just begun," she said, sashaying towards the teen.
Alex felt her back hit the wall of the room. "K…Kyra…" she whispered as the golden haired woman pressed her body against hers.
"Shhh…" Kyra whispered, pressing her index finger to Alex's lips. Her free hand pushed aside the loose white shirt and ran along Alex's taunt abdomen.
This is wrong! This isn't happening! Alex screamed in her mind. She tried to push the smaller woman away but found that her body was no longer under her control. She helplessly watched as Kyra removed her shirt and bra, exposing her chest to the air. Kyra smiled and began kissing the tall teen. Alex closed her eyes as she felt herself respond to Kyra's touch. "Sto…stop…" she whispered.
"You know you want this…" Kyra whispered hypnotically.
"Not…right…" Alex resisted. She gasped as Kyra's hands unbuttoned her pants and pushed the zipper down. "Stop it…" Alex begged, tears streaming down her face.
"Stop resisting my love. We have done this many times before."
"You're lying…" she whispered.
"I am not. You are the woman I have loved in every life. Nearly twenty years ago you were taken from me by the Sailor Senshi." Alex shook her head. "It is true," Kyra whispered, increasing the power of the spell which in turn caused Alex's body to relax further. "The other Senshi betrayed you and stabbed you in the back. I have been looking for you since then, praying that one day I would find you."
Alex held her head, her eyes squeezed shut. "I…that can't…it…" she stuttered, her mind whirling.
Kyra smiled. Now. She formed a black ball of energy in her left hand. She placed her right hand on the left side of Alex's chest. Kyra's hand slipped into the teen's chest, causing Alex to gasp in pain and shock. Kyra pulled her hand out and stared at the pure heart crystal in her hand. Alex slumped down, barely clinging to consciousness. "So beautiful…" she whispered. She smiled and brought her hands together. The shine from the pure heart diminished and turned black. Grinning in triumph, Kyra replaced the heart. Alex's face twisted in pain for a brief moment.
Dark teal eyes opened and looked at Kyra. Alex suddenly grabbed Kyra and spun her around, slamming her against the wall as she kissed her. Kyra eagerly returned the kiss, her arms snaking around the Dark Senshi's neck. Alex pushed the woman's dress off and picked her up. Kyra grinned as she was carried over to the bed.

Kunzite stood in the shadows as he watched Michiru walk down the street. Making sure that no one else was around he stepped into her path, forcing her to stop and look at him. Her sea blue eyes instantly recognized him and she stepped away, her hand reaching for her henshin pen.
"Matte!" he hissed.
"Doushite?" she demanded warily.
He stepped further into view and his appearance changed. His long silver hair shortened until it was shaggy and his gray uniform turned white, an intricate design in purple embroidered on the chest. The black cape turned purple as the shoes faded to white. The gloves on his hands also vanished.
"De…Demando…? Masaka!" Michiru stammered.
"I've not much time, but I am on your side," Demando said. "You and the other Senshi are in grave danger."
"From who?"
"An evil queen named Kyra. She seeks to rule the galaxy."
"How do you know this?"
"Because I switched places with Kunzite before my mission failed. She's resurrected the Shitennou, myself, Safiel, and I don't know who else to fulfill her orders."
"Is she after the Silver Crystal?"
"I don't know. All I know is she wanted Uranus."
Michiru's eyes widened. "She…she's awakened?"
"Yes. I need to hurry back to try and keep her out of Kyra's grasp before it's too late," he said.
"Too late?"
Demando rested a hand on Michiru's shoulder. "Trust me, I will do what I can for her no matter what. Warn your friends. Quickly!" he hissed. His appearance shifted back to Kunzite's and he vanished.
Ano: Uh/Um.
(Chotto) Matte: Wait (a minute)/Hold on for a second.
Doushite: Why?
Masaka: Impossible.
What the deuce is going on? It's only the second chapter and already Alex/Haruka has turned evil. Can Michiru save her soulmate before it's too late? Stay tuned to find out!
You know what happens now. This is the part where you give me a review which then inspires me to continue on with the story...I mean, this is a WIP so I need encouragement. Please? Onegai?
