Chapter 2
Faked Out

"I wanna heal
I wanna feel
What I thought was never real." Usagi sang as she raced down Highway 242, completely aware she was leading the police on a high speed chase, but at the same time unaware of everything but the speed of the car and the feel of danger and adrenalin rushing through her body. Not her parents who thought she was a failure, not her brother, Shingo, that tortured her endlessly, not even the raven-haired beauty she's seen today at school that had made her catch her breath. Usagi smiled as she remembered the girl's violet eyes. They had been so majestic, violent, and …knowing.

"I wanna let go of the pain I've held so long
(Erase all the pain 'till it's gone)
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
Like I'm close to something real. Words of a song that mean nothing to most," Usagi whispered to herself pressing the gas pedal down until it touched the floor. She looked around her; thanking the gods the police had cleared the road of other cars. She had to have the car at just the right velocity when she hit the bridge. She hated that this was the only way out of her pathetic existence, hated that she resorted to ending the only life she'd ever known.

"I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong…" Usagi sang as she smiled and her car approached the bridge.

????????????????????????????????????

"It was determined that her father possibly molested her, you know. I heard it from Tami, who heard it from Alex, who heard it from my brother's ex-girlfriend, who heard it from…" the girl's voice exclaimed.

Rei rolled her eyes irritated at the talk around the ice cream parlor. She'd been tuning in and out of conversations around her since she's arrived with the other Inner Senshi. All the talk was nonsense of course; rumors had been circulating about Usagi's death for a few days now. At Tokyo University Rei had heard too many 'poor dears' from the professors, and she's seen too many other students filing into the consolers office acting as if they'd cared about their deceased school mate, when all of them just wanted out of class. In truth no one had known Usagi. Not even her, but then again with school work, senshi meetings, and consistent fire readings, Rei barely had time to breath correctly. Not to mention the practices in the morning that were making her body and mind sore.

"Practice was a killer this morning don't you think Rei? I could ring Artemis's neck for making me get up so early." Minako asked noticing the raven-haired girl's silence.

"Yeah," was the only response she received?

"What's on your mind Rei?" Ami asked softly looking around the ice cream parlor wondering if Rei sensed danger.

"Besides fatigue?" Rei answered smiling lightly, "nothing really, I was just thinking about Usagi, wondering what made her drive off the edge of that bridge. What was it that she couldn't handle that she ended her life over? It makes me wonder why I didn't get to know her, maybe she needed a friend. I know she lived in the upper-middle class part of town with in-divorced parents and a little brother. I just don't understand why might have been going through her mind." She said thoughtfully.

"Well hopefully, the last thing that crossed her mind was your beautiful face." A voice said from the next booth.

"Why don't you mind your own business asshole!" Rei snapped angrily as she looked over and saw who's spoken. "I…I'm sorry." She stammered.

A beautiful woman with striking steel-grey eyes and long lavender hair that was held up in a high ponytail by a blue ribbon and still reached down to her calves stood smiling at the four girls. Rei was hypnotized by the girl's smile. It reminded her of how the sun shone on water. All sparkle and beauty that was almost heavenly and innocent.

"I'm so to but in, I couldn't help ignore your conversation. I'm new in town, I just moved here I mean. I've been hearing a lot about this Usagi person. I was hoping you could help me, explain what happened to her I mean." The woman asked breathlessly as she hurried on, "I'm Azami Kinosune, by the way."

Everyone smiled at her pleasantly, surprised and amused at her obvious display of embarrassment. Ami was the first to speak asking the grey-eyed goddess to sit with them. Rei couldn't take her eyes off Azami. It was like she was in a trance; she'd never seen anyone move so fluidly with such grace and innocence.

"and this is Rei, since she seems to be lost in the vast emptiness, where her brain once resided." Makoto laughed as she looked at her best friends face.

"…sorry, nice to meet you." Rei managed blushing.

"That's no problem, Rei? What a perfect name…" Azami said smiling at Rei, making the fire senshi blush a crimson red causing everyone at the table to laugh.

????????????????????????????????????

"Come on Haruka, just for a little while at least, it's not going to kill you. I want to do this to you." Michiru pleaded as she grabbed Haruka.

"I don't need it done; I hate it when you insist on doing this to me." Haruka complained squirming out of Michiru's grasp.

"Oh quit being such a baby 'Ruka. Come over here and sit down and let me play with it, just for a couple of minutes." Michiru ordered, waving a brush at Haruka as she pointed at the chair in front of her.

"But Michi'," Haruka pleaded, "It's fine the way it is, I like it tousled!"

"Haruka Ten'ou sit here now! Or else." Michiru threatened severely indicating couch time this evening if her demand was not met.

Haruka almost smiled at the look on her love's face but she didn't for fear of further punishment. "Or else hmm? Couldn't the punishment for disobedience be couch time with you?" Haruka questioned teasingly walking towards her aqua-tressed lover.

Michiru smiled at the sly comment letting her soul mate think she had won. Haruka calmly sauntered over to the Neptunian senshi knowing she had her lover right where she wanted her. Reaching her wife she offered her hand to help her lover to her feet, but the next thing she knew she was sitting down in the previously proffered chair being tied down. She knew it was all over when a brush came in contact with her sandy locks and minutes later tiny bows and braids appeared.

"There now honey, was that so bad?" Michiru teased.

"Are you satisfied now?" Haruka growled as she started to take the bows from her hair. "I think a little pay back is in order don't you…my love?" she emphasized as she felt the last of Michiru's ropes fall away.

"Umm…koibito…I was playing…" Michiru pleaded as she backed away from her advancing lover.

"Oh I know, but you were bad, now you must be punished." Haruka smiled evilly following her soul mate rapidly.
"But, you have practice 'Ruka love, remember?" Michiru questioned turning serious for a moment.

"Shit, yeah I do. What time is it?" Haruka asked as she looked at the clock. "I'm late!" she shrieked seeing the time.

"I'll meet you there don't worry, and try…" Michiru cried as the door slammed shut, "not to slam the door." She shook her head and smiled.

????????????????????????????????????

"You're late Ten'ou!" the fat balding man said angrily blowing cigar smoke in Haruka's face. "I should replace you with Shiro; unfortunately he's just retired, as of now. We've decided to hire in someone new." The man said eying Haruka for her reaction. He wasn't disappointed.

"Retired?! What the hell for?! We just broke that kid in damn it! What are you thinking, are you nuts?!" Haruka screamed.

"I knew you'd take it well. Meet your new partner, Kimio Mikazuki." The man introduced pointing to a figure in the distance. Haruka squinted against the glare of the sun on the track. Her new partner looked tall from where she was standing and he or she was talking to another figure in a white sundress. Haruka frowned as she recognized the figure in the dress.

????????????????????????????????????

"So your name is Kaioh Michiru?" Mikazuki asked smiling at the beautiful girl.

"Yes, I'm here looking for…Haruka!" Michiru exclaimed seeing her lover striding towards her.

"Haruka? That's my new…" Mikazuki began turning around.

"Partner," Haruka finished coming to a stop in front of Mikazuki as she put an arm around Michiru.

Michiru looked from her love to Mikazuki and saw sparks flying already. She sighed and smiled pleasantly at the new racer. "Have you two met? Doesn't look like it. Mikazuki this is Ten'ou Haruka my…" Michiru started.

"Michiru is my wife, beautiful isn't she?" Haruka baited her new partner.

"Wife? Oh I see, I'm very sorry and call me Mika. Haruka, in order to get to know you better, and for you to get to know me…wanna race?" Mikazuki asked calmly smiling slightly.

"You're on!" Haruka agreed. Michiru watched the two take off toward their bikes as she laughed. Competition would be lethal between those two she could tell. The challenge Mikazuki had just offered proved it. She was getting a strange signal from the new racer though. She shrugged it off momentarily as she heard her lover's bike come to life.

"Boys will be boys or is it girls will be girls?" Michiru giggled as she started off towards the pit to watch the race.
