Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ All's Fair in Love and Espionage ❯ A Mission ( Chapter 1 )

[ A - All Readers ]
Disclaimer: It's surprising, I never imagined myself beginning to periodically write Usagi/ Mamoru fics, but obviously, I'm beginning to like them. Please read and review if you want more. (BTW: This is an AU fic.)

Mamoru sat hunched over his mahogany desk reading over the assignment his secretary had just brought in. He yawned as his deep blue eyes skimmed over each line- his life as a spy exhausted him. His latest mission was concerning a company, which was rumored to have been cloning humans unauthorized. Even though the year now was 2092, and technology had advanced so much over the last century, a special effort had been made to make sure that the cloning of humans was banned. Any company caught performing this monstrous deed would be immediately terminated, and through the work of spies such as him the world was purged of the malicious. Mamoru gently picked up the piece of paper containing his instructions and put it through the paper shredder, after which he took the contents and threw them into the fireplace. It was the standard procedure of disposing your orders so that no one would be able to retrieve it later. The important information was now stored in Mamoru's memory and the remainder was now crackling softly in the fireplace. First and foremost right now, he needed to go and apply for a job at the company, so without further ado, he pulled on his thick leather jacket and exited the building. The snow was coming down lightly as he strolled down the sidewalks over to the location at which the company was located. As he shuffled along, a familiar face popped up.

"Hello Mamo-chan!" the young girl with a red jacket exclaimed cheerily. Mamoru couldn't help but smile, though sometimes she seemed childish, he loved Usagi, the young blonde girl that would usually brighten his day. Unfortunately though, for the sake of secrecy and her security he had to lie to her a lot, especially about his job.

"So, Mamoru how is business at the technology center?" Usagi interrogated sweetly. Mamoru almost winced; he hated having to lie to someone that he should trust more than anything. He feared, though, that if she ever found out about all his lies, she might leave him. It was for her own good, it'd be too precarious for her to know what his real job was.

"Everything has been going fine lately, though I must say it's a bit tedious," He smiled warmly and Usagi became scarlet in the face.

"Are you busy right now?" she asked hopefully. He wanted to say no, but he knew that he had a mission to carry out right now.

"I'm sorry, Usagi-koi," he answered reluctantly, "I've got some work to do."

Usagi sighed sadly, "But you're always doing something, and you never have any time for us to do anything." Mamoru felt the words stab at his heart, and he promised himself that after this mission things would be different, yet this mission would turn bring him some unexpected surprises.

He didn't mean to make her leave, but the way it came out made her turn away, "Usagi, I've got a lot of work to do right now, maybe we can talk later." She seemed hurt by his last statement, but she nodded and left abruptly. He ran his hand through his raven black hair; soon he'd be back with the lady he cared about more than anything. But first, there was this mission to take care of. He entered into the lobby of the company, which had only been one block away from his secret office. As discreetly as possible he walked forward to the counter in the hall where a red haired lady sat. She looked up and smiled softly, her green eyes piercing his inner being.

"How may I help you?" she asked.

"I don't mean to bother you, ma'am," he replied with as much charm as possible in order to make sure things went smoothly, "but I'd like to apply for a job here."

"Do you have any training in genetics?" she questioned. Mamoru whipped out his facsimile of a certificate authorizing his skill in the genetic field. She nodded accordingly and accepted it from him. "It'll take some time for us to decide if you are fit for any of our jobs here, but until then, I'll have Kunzite show you around."

A handsome man with long white hair stepped forward, "My name is Professor Kunzite, and you would be?"

"You may call me Mathew," Mamoru answered, he never gave away his real name- it would be too dangerous if he got caught.

"Well, then, Mathew, just follow me and I'll show you around," his voice was resonant and had a chilling tone about it.

Usagi sat on the doorstep of the bridal store, trying to keep from weeping. She desperately loved Mamoru with all her heart, yet she had certain secrets she had taken precaution to make sure were never revealed to him. And now it had started to tear at her heart. When he looked at her, he probably saw a sweet and innocent young lady, which meant she was doing her job well, perhaps too well… in the original plan, she was only supposed to pretend to love him but she now found that even in reality she did. Something soft brushed up against her leg, and Usagi looked down to see her dear ally- Luna. The black cat looked up at Usagi with a folded up white piece of paper in her mouth. Usagi quickly took the piece of paper out of the cat's mouth and read it with a sense of urgency. Afterwards she folded the paper and placed it in her pocket to dispose of later.

Ok, so this doesn't seem so interesting yet, unless you think so otherwise. I promise this will be more exciting in the future and if I get enough good reviews I'll continue with it. And then maybe you'll find out exactly what Usagi's role is in this story. Also, this story will be a Mamoru/Usagi fic.
