Disclaimer: I own Sailor Moon! Not.

Don't own Maid Sama either…Sigh

The slap of her arms hitting the waters filled the cavernous room. It was dark with no hint of the sun out, and the moon was the only companion to the girl other than the water.

With each stroke, she was faster, her head barely lifting up for breath. Subconsciously, she seemed to know where the pool ended, and instead of stopping after each lap, she merely flipped over in one fluid action and began once again.

She looked like a mermaid, the silver glow from the moonlight making it even more so. Her legs kicked silently, never passing the surface of the water.

After numerous laps, she jerked her head out, her mouth searching for air desperately. She gulped in air, greedily, filling her lungs up to the point where it hurt.

She sighed, and tipped her head back gracefully, floating on her back in a relaxed manner. Her hair streamed about her, making an aquamarine halo around her. She closed her eyes, savoring the feeling of the water. It caressed every part of her, giving slight kisses when it could. A feeling of peace surged through her powerfully, causing her to involuntarily shiver.

She drifted about for a bit more, only to have the tranquility broken by a sharp bing. She exhaled, and began to swim towards the edge of the pool, making each stroke slow and smooth. She reluctantly got out of the water, greeted by her favorite towel. Its edges were frayed, and the kanji that had once been on the bottom of it, were now an unnoticeable shadow.

She picked it up, bending her pale legs, to get to it, and got up again. By now, the sky was a deep fuchsia, with hints of dark yellow peeking through it.

Water dripped down the wet girl, but she ignored it as she rubbed her towel through her hair, simultaneously gazing out the window to look at the sunrise.

Once again, a powerful sense of serenity rose in her, as she stood frozen in front of the window.

Yup, she mused, this was definitely her favorite time of the day.

The sky was a deep ochre with hints of deep fuchsia, as even the sun was struggling to wake up. The whole city seemed to be quiet, with a lack of traffic noises. Nothing seemed to move, too tired to do anything but sleep, and it made for a picturesque picture. However, there was a small rhythmic sound that increasingly became louder with each slap of the pavement.

-Slap-Slap-Slap-

The soles of her shoes were wearing out, the girl mused, as she jogged around with her arms pumping by her side. She would have to get new ones before the sports festival.

She kept running, passing by numerous buildings that seemed to blend into one color after a while, and a few trees, that had a warm orange glow on them. She paid no mind to the unsightly roadkill on the road, nor the family of wild cats that slept next to a rusty garbage can.

She stopped by a building's walls for an unneeded break. She wiped her sweaty bangs away with her hand, only to have them fall back in place. After allowing herself several more moments of rest, she started again.

The surroundings were a blur to her, a mixture of earthly colors. She felt the wind play with her already messy hair, and she closed her eyes instinctively, making her at the mercy of where her feet decided to go.

Unknown to her, she was passing speeds that rivaled the ones of cheetahs, and other animals. If any person had looked out their window at the ungodly hour, they would have seen a blonde blur, who ran, not with, but seemingly, as the wind.

She never felt this tranquil, she mused, indeed, this was her favorite time of day.

A/N: I know it's short, sorry! Originally, I posted a chapter about a day after my update, because of the tip I found about typing. However, a review from Kyzano made me rethink about putting it up. She really helped a lot, simultaneously complimenting me, and pointing out flaws. ^^ So, this chapter is dedicated to her, for her useful guidance!

[Don't worry, you'll see the chapter later.]

StormBrisingr Part One: Then, you should get ready to worship Haruka...xD Or not. I'm not giving any hints out.

Tenoh-kun: Thanks, hopefully you'll like this chapter.

Border of Ecstasy: xD Actually your comment made me want to write. So I did :] But after 10 minutes of writing with my right hand only, and only having half a page to show for it was frustrating. Which led me to googling up help. I'm happy you think of my story that highly ^^

StormBrisingr Part Two: Thanks ^^; It's kinda hard to remember that I can't use my left hand as much anymore.

petiyaka Part Two: Thanks :D
