The Hunter and The Hunted (prologue)

 "She has lovely blue eyes," the voice spoke into her ear. "It would be tragic to see the lights go out..."

"Fuck you, bastard!" Sakura growled.

"In time, sweet one."

Immediately ending the call, the young woman had to take deep breaths and re-centered herself. She absolutely refused to let Ikeda Takuya get underneath her skin but he threatened the very queen herself and she would not allow that to happen. She was an independent Sailor Scout, true, but Serenity had touched her heart in more ways than one and she would not allow such a beautiful soul to be snuffed out by a lunatic. 
Ikeda Takuya had been killing for a decade and no one had managed to track him down and now that he was hunting her friends and their families, it was her duty to bring him down before he harmed anymore innocent people. Minako had been the first of the Scouts to have been poached and killed by him. He lured her with the promise of a successful modeling career but needed to do a private photo shoot so he could submit photos to his boss. Minako took it hook, line, and sinker and died as a result.

The second Sailor Scout to be killed was Mercury (better known as Ami Mizuno). Ikeda Takuya knew that she would use her genius as a tool to track him down. In her case, he impersonated the CEO of a major hospital in Japan and charmed her with all sorts of compliments to her work. He knew of her dreams and that her mother worked as a doctor and used this to his advantage. He set up a fake job interview and that was the last time anyone laid eyes on the Scout of Mercury.

It disturbed Sakura that Takuya was using hopes and dreams of her friends as a tool for his sick purpose. Now, he was threatening to go after the Queen of Crystal Tokyo! It baffled her as to why he would target her but the reason why was irrelevant. She was NOT going to let another one of her friends be slaughtered by this monster! 

'Ikeda Takuya, you messed with the wrong Sailor Scout.' Sakura thought angrily. 

She slipped her cell phone into her pocket and prepared for the night to fall. It was easier for her to monitor the activities of her friends this way.
