A/N: Good news
everyone, I’ve find an editor. Thanks to Smalltowngirl007, from now on, no one
has to suffer from my horrible English. By the way,
Sadly, I don’t own
Sailor Moon and any of its character. You should know who they are belonged to.

“Sir, may I help
you?”
She found herself
in front of the service counter at Narita airport and she was a chaos; her hair
was a mess, her shirt was buttoned-up in a wrong order, her eyes was sore; obviously
she had been crying all night. However, it did not matter; it did not draw her concern.
“I want to leave.” She
said with a trembling voice.
“Hai, where would you like to go, sir?”
“Anywhere, I just
want to leave as soon as possible.”
“Hai, there will be a flight towards

-Ten Years later;
“Papa, wake up. It’s
“Let me sleep ten
more minutes, please.” The woman with sandy blonde hair replied drowsily,
turned over, facing down on the mattress and covered her head with the blanket.
“Seriously, you
need to take me to school now. Otherwise I’ll be late. It’s eight sharp
already.” He put the clock inside the blanket, so his mother would able to see
the time.
Her eyes went wide
and she practically jumped out of bed when she saw the time. “Yuki, why don’t
you wake me earlier? It’s late.”
“I did, three times
already and you requested to sleep ‘ten more minutes’ every time.”
‘Did I?’ “Okay, grab your helmet now. We need to be really quick.”
------------------
Thanks to her ‘skillful’
driving, they arrived on time. “Be a good boy and be careful on your way back.”
“Bye papa and don’t
work too late tonight.” With that, he gave a big smile and ran away.

-Garage-
“Haruka, did you sleep last night? You can barely keep your
eyes open.” Mark asked concerned. He was the owner of this garage and Haruka had worked for him since she had arrived in
“Last night, there
was a man who wanted me again and again. He didn’t let me go until
“Geeze, you sound like a prostitute. You mean last night,
there was a man who enjoyed your music so much he wanted you to play until
“Yes, and don’t
worry. I will be fully awake when I face the engine.”
“I know.” He
smiled. After almost ten years, he was still surprised to see that the tomboy
totally changed her aura when she was facing a car engine. “I’m worry about
you.” He sighed. “I know it’s none of my business to say it. But still, I think
it will better for you to rest more. Promise me you will decrease your night-shift.”
“But…” Haruka said exasperated. “I’ll try my best.” Being a single
mum was very difficult, in order to provide Yuki a better environment, she
decided to take two jobs. During the day she worked as a mechanist in a garage,
at night she worked as a pianist in a pub. She loved both jobs; working with
cars was always her dream and playing Jazz in a pub was not bad either. She
could play according to her heart; expressing her feelings.
However, the two
jobs occupied most of her time. She could barely spend time alone with Yuki. ‘May be he is right, recently I can’t even
wake up and having breakfast with Yuki. I should spend more time with him;
being a papa first, work second.’
“Hey, is that girl
again?” Suddenly, Mark shouted in excitement as he saw a girl sat inside the
coffee shop opposite the garage and she was staring at Haruka.
“How many times did she drop by to see you this week? You should date her, you
know.”
“Yeah, may be I
should.” Haruka answered sadly. That was a lie, she
could never date anyone. Her heart was stolen by a mermaid. However that
mermaid tramped her feelings, tore her heart apart before dumping it in the trash.
Ever since then, she could no longer love. May be she was still in love with
the mermaid. May be she wasn’t; she was not sure herself. She thought about her
from time to time, but she was not eager to see her. ‘May be I would know whether I still love her or not if I saw her
again.’
---------------------------------
-Later that day-
It was not a busy
night in the pub, so her boss let her leave early. ‘May be I could catch up with Yuki.’ She was in a rather good mood
when she left the pub. However it switched dramatically once she turned on the
light in her living room and found out a frightened Yuki kneeling on the couch.
He was trembling and it seemed that he had gone though some kind of horrible
experience.
She quickly ran
toward and hugged him. There were tears accumulating on her eyelashes, she
would never forgive herself if anything bad had happen to him. “Tell papa what
happened.” She said as she gently kissed his forehead.
“On my way back
home after school, I passed an alley.” He said with a trembling voice. Breathing
heavily and continued. “A monster attacked me, then….” He sobbed heavily and
couldn’t say any words.
“Did it hurt you?” Haruka asked.
“No, I transformed
to something else and killed it. I changed into something completely different,
papa I wasn’t me anymore.”
Haruka breathe in relief as she knew her son was
not hurt, but frowned at the same time as she knew they were facing a bigger
problem. “Tell me what did you transform into?” She asked with a calm voice,
yet it couldn’t hide her fear.
“Tuxedo
Kamen.”
