Disclaimer : I don't own the characters.

A/N: I know I have a lot off stories to finish but this idea has been haunting me ever since I wrote 'Suicide games' and now I finally came up with a plot to fill up the holes for my idea. Anyway this story is about Haruka and Michiru. Haruka is engaged to Galaxia and is working for her as well. Her mission is to destroy the sailor senshi. Ofcourse when she meets sailor Neptune things get a lot harder than expected.

The idea is that this is going to be one of those 'forbidden love' stories. It includes a happy ending for both of them. I do intend to make sure the other inner senshi get injured and stuff like that but nothing severe. Anyway, let me know what you think of it.

The title comes from the song 'Face to face'. - Face to face, my lovely foe -

This is just the prologue! The next and first chapter will be up soon and much longer than this one,. Promise,

Lovely Foe

Prologue

Who are you?

Who am I?

Haruka took a deep breath as she walked across the streets. She had no idea where she was going but it didn't matter much to her either. All she could do was think of a way to complete her mission. For over two years she had been working for Galaxia now in the attempt to take over the world. But so far they hadn't exactly succeeded in doing so because of a group of girls who called themselves 'the sailor senshi'. Haruka hated them for standing in their way, in her way.

Until a few months ago her relationship with Galaxia had been strictly business but that changed drastically when Galaxia had asked her to come to her room one night. It was the first time Haruka had ever found herself feeling attracted to the golden queen she served. It had been a nigh to never forget.

A smile appeared on her face as she remembered how terribly shy Galaxia had been that night. It was unusual for her to see her queen in such a position. The woman always was so reserved, angry and violent. But to see her as someone loving and caring and even shy was really unknown to anyone. Especially to the blonde tomboy.

Last night the sailor senshi had been able to defeat one of their strongest devils. Her name was Nehelenia and had always served her and Galaxia right ever since the very beginning. Neither of them had expected to see her go down that soon and that easily. Haruka of course hadn't know what kind of consequence Nehelenia's defeat would mean to her. Especially now there were hardly any strong youma left to fight the senshi.

Galaxia had decided that it was now Haruka's turn to prove her power. The blonde tomboy had just accepted without any struggle. After all, she loved her queen very much and she knew that those feelings were returned. She would do anything to make her lover happy even if that meant dying on the battle field against the sailor senshi.

She snapped out of her thoughts when she suddenly found herself bumping into someone else. She managed to remain standing, the person in front of her however, fell down. For a moment Haruka just stood there, wondering if she had been really that deep in thoughts. Maybe the idea of risking her life was eating her after all. ''I'm terribly sorry!'' A voice yelped, coming from down the ground.

Haruka raised her eyebrow and looked down at an aqua haired girl who was collecting her stuff from the ground and pushed the items into her bag. ''I wasn't looking where I was going,'' She continued. ''I should've been more careful.''

Finally the girl who had been sitting on the ground ever since she had bumped into Haruka got up. Her blue eyes met Haruka's green ones, eying her suspiciously. ''I'm sorry.'' She repeated, a bit more aware of the other's presence now. She immediately could feel a certain strange aura around the blonde in front of her. She just couldn't place what it was or meant yet.

''Just watch your back.'' Haruka hissed before turning around again. Then, without saying anything else she started to walk away, leaving the other girl behind. Sometimes she didn't know why she didn't even bother to try and have some contact with other people next to Galaxia and the youma she worked with. Then again, maybe it was because she knew she would have to kill most of the people who were walking the earth eventually. She just didn't want to get involved with those people.

''Jerk.'' She heard the aqua haired girl state behind her. A small smile appeared on her lips. She loved to be entitled with nicknames like these. Somehow it made her feel right on her place. She couldn't quite explain it.

Don't get it wrong, sometimes she often wondered if what she was doing was right. Sometimes she had doubts on whether to continue to plan and destroy the world or not. After all, who were they to decide what could and couldn't happen to the world? She always came to the same conclusions in the end though. And that was, Galaxia. If it hadn't been for her love for her queen she would've been gone already. She owed so much to her lover that she often wondered if she could ever repay her.

A sigh escaped her lips. She could still remember the day she had met Galaxia. It had been two years ago. Haruka had been living among the human back then, unaware of her power. One day she found herself under attack of certain beings she never knew existed. In order to protect herself she had, unconsciously, released a certain wave of golden light on them. She immediately had killed her attackers without even knowing it happened.

After that she had wandered home, in complete shock while trying to find out what just had happened. When she arrived home however, things were far from over. On her couch sat a woman with long, blond hair. She was staring right into Haruka's eyes with a dangerous look on her face that didn't promise anything but bad news. Haruka could still remember the woman's first words. They had been 'Sailor Uranus'. The blonde tomboy had of course been confused upon hearing this.

After a long time of a complete silence the blonde woman had gotten up from the couch and had walked up to Haruka who suddenly found herself unable to move or do anything. Before she knew it she could feel the woman's hands around her neck, cutting off her airwaves. At that point Haruka really thought she was going to die until after a long time she felt the woman pull back.

The tomboy had fallen to the ground, coughing and unable to look up at her attacker who later identified herself as Galaxia, the golden queen. Haruka would've laughed upon hearing this, if she hadn't seen those youma from earlier that evening.

Galaxia hadn't stopped referring her as Sailor Uranus though but after a short while she started to just call the blonde by her name. It was then that she apologized for making a mistake and asked her about earlier. Asking Haruka all about the attack and how she had been able to defend herself.

Even now Haruka couldn't quite explain where her power came from but she had decided that it was the least to worry about. Anyway, after a long time of questioning they both came to the conclusion that Haruka was different from other people. Galaxia had offered Haruka to work for her but the tomboy had declined her offer. At first.

After trying to continue with her life she found out that this was something impossible to do after her meeting with the golden queen. Galaxia probably had been watching her closely or something because a few weeks later she appeared again, with the same offer. This time Haruka accepted and she had been working for her lover ever since. She didn't regret it. No she certainly didn't but sometimes she just felt like she only knew half of what was really going on.

Haruka now walked into a dark alley, looking around to make sure no one was watching her. And with that she disappeared into the nothingness of the shadows that had been surrounding her. Back to hell, the place she had learnt to call home.
