Notes: Response to a request from 1lover who asked me to write a vampire huntress-vampire story so if you’re reading this 1lover this is for you! I have to give a little bit of warning though. I don’t write one-shot lemons and usually my fics turn into epics so if you want the lemon and not the plot then this might not be the fic for you. If however you like a little plot to go with your lemonade then please feel free to stick around.

Side Note for those who might not know:
Japanese Names- Sub Names
Usagi - Serena
Mamoru – Darien
Rei- Raye

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon in any form shape or fashion.

Prologue:
Enter Usagi


Cold immutable steel felt clammy against her hot and sweaty palm; but despite the discomfort the young woman took pride in knowing her gun was cocked and fully loaded. Stray strands of silver-blond hair fluttered as she quickly turned the corner upon hearing footsteps. Bracing her back against the wall Tsukino Usagi took in a steadying breath as the footfalls and the light din of idle talk and laughter slipped past her. Wide and innocent looking cobalt eyes closed for a fleeting second.

‘Breathe in…breathe out,’ Usagi mentally coached herself, her shaking right hand trying to maintain control over the large silver instrument it wielded. The lively crackle of her earpiece caused the young woman to tense again as someone turned a head, looking back into the shadows, almost directly at her. Mentally cursing Usagi effortlessly turned her back to the street, careful that her own footsteps weren’t echoing off the dirty walls of the dark alleyway.

Once Usagi was sure she was out of earshot she attached the mouth piece to her communicator, praying that it worked this time. It was dangerous enough for her to trudge into their territory; it would be suicidal for her to walk in blindly…that’s why she needed her communicator to work.

Saying a small prayer over the device Usagi whispered into the mouth piece, “This is Lunar, come in Phoenix.”

That static like crackle again before a voice could be heard above the distortion, “This is Phoenix. What’s your position Lunar?”

Usagi gulped, turning her eyes towards the other end of the alleyway, the bright neon lights of the Twilight District clearly visible.

“Just outside the Dollhouse,” Usagi whispered.

A slight pause, “So we’re going ahead with Phase Four?” ‘Phoenix’ asked.

A curt nod, “Hai…”

Usagi smiled when she heard ‘Phoenix’ verbally curse, “Damnit. Looks like I am going to have to wrap things up here then. Don’t start without me, you hear me Lunar!” the other voice threatened.

Usagi managed a weak nervous smile, “I wouldn’t dream of it Phoenix…”however her voice faded as did the smile when Usagi caught sight of a very familiar limo pull up in front of the ‘Dollhouse’.

Noting the abbreviated sentence the voice of ‘Phoenix’ crackled once more, “Lunar? Is something wrong? Don’t tell me that shitty piece of a communicator frazzled out on you again.”

“No…Rei…” Usagi slipped unconsciously, earning her a scolding from the other woman.

“God damn it Lunar! How many times do I have to tell you to stick to the codenames!?”

Ignoring her partner’s ranting Usagi focused her gaze on the vehicle as the passenger door opened.

Out stepped two blood-red high heeled pumps, leading up to shapely slender legs, a hourglass form hugged by a silk crimson dress looking like poured blood in comparison to the pale skin of the woman. No sooner had she stepped out of the limo did a gentleman emerge. Unlike his companion he was wearing a tailored expensive tuxedo.

Usagi felt her knees beginning to grow weak. Her first full-fledged sole mission…and out of all the vile bloodsuckers on the planet…he had to be here.

Licking her dry chapped lips Usagi watched from the shadows as the young man in the tux escorted his giggling red headed female companion.

On one hand it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to take down the great legendary Mamoru; but on the other hand if she failed…

“Lunar are you listening to me?!” Rei all but screamed in the ear piece, causing Usagi to wince; but instead of responding she clicked off the communicator.

Once again surrounded by shadows and silence Usagi wondered what the next plan of action should be. By all rights she should wait until Rei joined her and even then it might be too risky to raid the Dollhouse if Mamoru was there taking his indulgences.

Closing her eyes once more Usagi’s grasp on the loaded silver handgun tightened to the point that her knuckles looked white, opening the blue orbs again determination was clearly etched on her expression.

‘I am going in…and I am going to get my shot at him. Even if it kills me.’ Usagi thought with grim resolution as she blinkingly stepped out of the shadows and into the gaudy neon-lit strip of the Twilight District: home and playground of the vampires.


Notes: Short and confusing chapter I know, but don’t worry the second chapter will be longer and will actually have some action within it. Oh and in case you haven’t noticed I plan on including the other senshi, not just Usagi, but I promise that this will be Usagi-Mamoru centric. If you liked please be kind and review kay? Thanks for reading!
