Summary: One day Shizuru becomes aware of love and the existence of shapeshifters. Determined to be with her love Shizuru creates the first werewolf. Things simply don't go as plan after that. AU Oocness

Children of the Moon

"This is exactly what I needed." Shizuru took a deep breath of unpolluted forest air. Pulling out her camera she snapped a photo of morning dew covered flower. A day away of her busy stressful life was refreshing. The Kyoto woman received her master's in genetic engineering working a steady well paying job. Frequent trips to the doctor from blood pressure checks were a must. This was a non medicated cure that seemed to be working.

For her trip she wore a baby blue long sleeves shirt and a pair of pants. Any ticks on her person would be noticeable and easy to get off. Her backpack consisted of the hiking essentials such as first aid, sun screen, sanitation wipes, food and water. The trail was a mostly flat dirt path. The trail didn't stop but she came across a sign placed in the middle of the path.

Reflected

"Reflected? What?"

With one eyebrow raised she looked passed the sign six foot sign. The path was clear and it didn't look at all dangerous. Without further ado she walked pasted the sign. She trotted half a mile into the denser forest. It was quiet to quiet. There were no birds chipping since she passed the sign. The walking path was getting smaller as she walked on flat grass. Moments later the chestnut haired woman regretted her decision to break the rules feeling an anonymous feeling wash over her.

She turned on her heel and took a quick step back until her back was against a tree. The sharp pieces of bark pressed into her skin. Crimson eyes widened at the sight making her heart speed up dramatically. Just a few feet away from her stood a proud grizzle bear. Standing on her hind legs about twelve and a half feet tall the bear's attention was right on her. How was it possible? How could such a large creature get the close to her without her knowledge? Did the animal tip-toe over to her?

The brown bear let out the loudest roar she could make showing her sharp teeth. Ideas quickly bombarded her mind. Should she play dead or run like hell? Should I climb a tree!? Adult grizzly can't climb trees! But then again neither can I! Shizuru couldn't even begin to wonder why this bear was going to attack her. A quick glimpse around said this bear wasn't protecting any cubs nor was she in heat.

This is the consequence of not following the rules. Shame on you Shizuru! Though a bear warning sign would have been a lot more informative then a restricted sign that was spelt wrong!

While inwardly screaming at herself another animal made itself known. A large black blur jumped in front of her and the bear. A wolf, a beautiful raven furred canine came to her rescue. The abnormally large wolf growled at the bear. The grizzly grunted in reply but neither animal attacked each other. Hope began to materialize in her heart. Is this one of those miracle stories were a wild animal saves the live of a human?

Moments later the bear dropped to all fours and sulk away. The canine turned to look at the Kyoto woman. The hopeful smile dropped as she realized that the wolf was glaring at her. Actually glaring at her. The honey haired woman felt rather insulted. Since the canine wasn't showing teeth she wasn't afraid for her life.

The ebony wolf before her was gone in a flash a nude female stood in place. "What's wrong with you?" The exposed girl barked. The scientist was baffled beyond all compare. Then again all of her attention was on the girl's naked body. If Shizuru had doubts about her sexuality they were gone now. The beautiful woman stood proudly unashamed of her nude body. Not that she had any reason to be ashamed.

The tawny haired woman didn't reply to her hero instead she wanted her question answered. "Who are you?" The same dark fur was now silky strands of human hair. She had flawless porcelain like skin and bright annoyed forest green eyes.

"The one that saved you. You should just leave now before something else happens to you." The woman's husky voice sang in her ears. The blunette turned to leave showing the human her perfect back side.

"Not without getting some answers." She replied in a stern voice.

The naked woman paused hesitating before turned around and facing her again. "Fine, I'll humor you a little since no one would believe you anyway. I'm Natsuki alpha of the wolves. I just saved you from the leader of the bears."

"You should have just let Haruka kill her. She's just going to scream bloody murder for that later." Ruby eyes blinked as she just became aware of someone else's presences. A redhead walked into view she was dressed in a simple white halter top and black mini shorts. For some reason the mortal felt instantly threatened. As a good judge of character she didn't like the newcomer so much.

In her hand was another halter top this time light blue and a pair of denim shorts. "Don't show others what is for my eyes only." The redhead said throwing the clothes to the naked woman and sending a glare towards the human.

"Who said that you could look Nao?" Natsuki dressed quickly much to both Nao and Shizuru's dismay.

Nao smirked. "I'll be able to look anytime I want soon enough."

"Don't count on it." The alpha muttered under her breath but the tan haired woman heard it anyway. She felt a glimmer of hope.

"Well anyway let's go home Natsuki." The short haired stranger just wanted to get the navy haired wolf away from the human she saved.

"Not yet I have to escort her back." The Kyoto woman smiled inwardly at her victory. Her smile got bigger when she saw the disappointment in Nao's green eyes.

"Fine." The younger woman turned on her heel and marched away. The scientist was happy that it was just the two of them again.

"Let's go." The leader commanded walking away before getting a reply. The taller woman quickly followed after. Her eyes kept on wondering moving towards her savor. For some reason she had this magnate attraction to the wolf woman. She wanted to strike up a conversation but she wasn't sure how.

"How do you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Change into a wolf."

"You're born that way."

Then there was silence once more. The two females approached the sign. The tea addicted pulled out a marker from her pocket and crossed out 'reflected.' She correctly wrote 'restricted' then put 'bear warning' below it.

Natsuki's face flashed amusement for a split second before going back into a stoic expression. "Well, I think you know the way back now."

"Yes, thank you." The brunette was unhappy to be separated from the shapeshifter but she had enough of nature for the day. Plus she had to return home for an early work day tomorrow. "I apologize for causing trouble with the bears."

"It's fine if it wasn't this it would be something else. I swear she just likes to fight. Now, just go home and forget everything."

"Don't worry I won't talk to anyone. Goodbye Na-tsu-ki." The taller woman winked happy at the light blush she earned from the wolf.

"Hn." The jade eyed woman turned around; her dark hair brushed up against Shizuru's cheek. The human took a deep breath of her natural scent. Natsuki smelled like a pine tree mixed in with the scent from a white lily.

Unconsciously the gracefully woman let out a little hum of pleasure. She planned on seeing the cobalt haired woman real soon.

The shapeshifter was out of sight in a few minutes. That's when she turned to leave. "I know what you're thinking." The honey haired woman paused and looked over at the familiar voice of Nao. "Don't come back."

"I don't think you have much say in this." Shizuru retorted with a light glare.

"What good would it do to come back? It's not like you could be with her, human. You can't keep up with us." The redhead began to throw off her clothes. The mortal got a good look at her small body. It wasn't nearly as impressive as the alpha's body. Nao leaped in her direction shifting in the air.

Paws touched the earth in front of her. Nao was a multi colored wolf the same size Natsuki was. Her reddish brown fur didn't compare to the leader's Solid midnight blue coloring. The wolf smirked at her showing off her sharp molars. Wanting to prove herself better the canine jumped over her and took off leaving the human alone. The Kyoto woman huffed and began the walk back.

A week had pasted since the accident. The ebony wolf had yet to leave her mind. Her dreams at night were filled with erotic visions. Her fantasies during the day were more tamed yet more realistic. Every one of those dream ended badly with the redhead making an appearance. "You're not like us." She sneered that particular sentence echoing in her mind.

Shizuru took a deep breath. Her laptop computer was long on screensaver. "Well no I'm not like you yet." She jiggled her mouse bringing the computer out of its idle state. She was currently looking at the pictures of genetic mutation cells of rodents. She closed out of the program and opened the internet.

Pulling out her cell she dialed the number on the website. "Hello?"

"Hello, are you Tomoe Marguerite?"

"Yes I am. Who is this?"

"My name is Shizuru and I was hoping that I could go with you on your next hunting trip."

"You want to come?" The girl asked skeptically.

"Yes please, were you planning a trip soon?"

"Actually I was, tomorrow morning at seven."

"Can I meet you at the base of the forest?"

"If you want to come that's fine just bring your own supplies." Shizuru didn't have time to reply as she heard the click disconnecting their call.

Shizuru returned to the base of the forest. She was early just in case the hunter was too. Her watch beeped alerting her that it was seven. Seconds later a jeep pulled up next to her vehicle a shout haired woman jumped out. "Tomoe Marguerite?"

Tomoe's eyes widened as she glazed the brunette over. "Well hello there." The hunter bowed respectfully reaching out for hand to kiss. "You must be Shizuru."

"Yes I-" The Kyoto shut her mouth as she saw the riffle Tomoe uses. "That it filled with tranquilizer darts, right?"

"Yes, of course I don't use real bullets. This is mealy a hobby, the animals on my website are all unconscious, not dead. Now." The teal haired woman cocked her gun. "What animal do you want?"

"A wolf."

They walked five miles into the woods before even a smallest animal crossed their paths. The hunter held up her hand signaling the scientist to stop moving. She inspected paw prints in the dirt and broken twigs and branches. A timber wolf walked by lowing its head for a drink of water. Shizuru cocked her head to the side the feral creature was of normal size. Much smaller than the shapeshifters were. The older woman felt a breath of relieve she didn't want the hunter to find the shapeshifters. The fair haired woman figured that they weren't near the shapeshifter's habitat because of the direction they were walking in.

Tomoe aimed and fired. The wolf jump and growled but passed out quickly. The tranquilizer was fast acting. They still waited a moment just in case the wolf wasn't completely out. They didn't want the canine to lunge out them. The crimson eyed woman rushed to the wolf taking out her equipment. The short haired woman watched with interest as the lovely woman took blood from the animal. She also took a small fur and saliva sample.

"Thanks for all the help." The honey haired girl packed everything back up and stood to leave.

"Wait? Where are you going?"

"I'm going back to work. I have what I need thanks to you."

"Well, can we at least do this again?"

Without pausing in her walk she answered. "No need too." The younger woman looked down as the lovely lady left.

The blood was placed in four test tubs each with the same amount. The other samples were in a petri dish. Using a Q-tip she smeared blood onto a slide and put it under the microscope. Animal blood was different from a human's blood. They didn't have different types like humans do.

"I didn't study genetic mutations for nothing. I'll be just like you, Natsuki."

Taking one of the tubes she placed it under an ultraviolet light. With just a guess of how long it would take to mutate. The graceful woman left her lab for the night. If this didn't work somehow she would need to get her hands on some bio-hazardous chemicals to mutate with.

Overnight light got the desired results. She took a sample and put it under the microscope for observations. The cells were now ovular in shape and move around. "Step one is complete let's hope it takes." She opened a brand new needle filling it with the mutated blood. Sanitizing her dominate arm she ejected the contents in her blood stream.

She figured effects weren't going to be instantly. That is if there was any. Once again she left for the night. As soon as she got home the Kyoto women felt sick to her stomach. "A small side effect." She muttered up chucking her last meal outside her house. To the neighbors she looked like a drunken women. "My wolf goddess is worth it." That night Shizuru had a strange craving for meat.

The chestnut haired woman was unable to shift by the morning. Step two was written down as a failure. "Would you mind if I use about a teaspoon of the nuclear waste, Akane?"

"Help yourself." The fair haired woman reached for the small air sealed receptacle. Dressed in her bio-hazardous outfit she opened the container. Her hazmat outfit was yellow while her elbow high rubber gloves where green. She used an eyedropper and dropped some of the waste in another test tub of blood. She gave it another day before ejecting it into her other arm.

Two needles in one week was very dangerous; two needles with mutated animal blood was a lot worse. "Still worth it." Sweat drenched her skin as she let out a groan of discomfort. Shizuru was beyond nauseated and in pain. She was dizzy and unable to move from her bed. "Natsuki." She shivered feeling as if she was stuck in a blizzard.

The brunette was quarantine to her bed for over a week. That week she didn't eat much not just because she would throw it up; but because she was too weak to make something. The scientist stumbled to her window. She was tired of resting in bed her prone position was doing more bad then good. The cold glass felt good against her heated face. The moon was especially wonderful.

The moon. Grabbing her head Shizuru let out another pained groaned. She could no longer support herself as she fell to her knees. Why do I feel worse so suddenly? I thought I was finally getting better. The girl wrapped her arms around herself trying to comfort herself in any way possible. Throbbing heat hit her body from head to toe. The honey haired woman let out a scream. Her conscious was slowly getting lost in the pain.

Ears twitched once as Natsuki picked her head up off the ground scanning the forest distance.

Shizuru groaned picking her sore body off the ground. What happened last night? "You finally awake?"

The chestnut haired woman's head shot up at the husky voice. There was Natsuki sitting on the ledge of her bedroom window. The shapeshifter dressed in a leather biking garment was wearing one of her annoyed facial expressions. "Natsuki?!" The Kyoto woman gasped in shock trying to get up off the floor. The fast movement brought her once more to the floor as pain flooded her head.

"Yes, I guess you would have a headache after last night."

"Wha-?!" Burgundy eyes scanned her bedroom it was a mess. It was worse than a tornado hitting her room. The curtains were shredded and there were claw marks in the wall. Her pillows were gutted the feathers all over the floor. Glass was shattered, clothes were ripped.

The older woman looked over at Natsuki. The navy haired woman went on the defensive. "Don't look at me like that I didn't do it. You did."

The tan haired woman placed a hand on her head. "I don't remember."

"I find that hard to believe that you don't remember turning into a monstrous beast."

"A monstrous beast? You mean it worked?!" A huge smile broke out on the scientist's face.

"What worked?"

"Well I tried to become like you." The raven haired woman raised one eyebrow. "Basically, I mutated some wolf blood I acquired and ejected it into my own blood stream." Jade eyes widened with disbelief. "It seems that that step two has worked but I'm unable to control it."

"You sure get into a lot of trouble." Natsuki said unsure of what else to say she ran her hand down her hair once. "Well, you better hurry and learn to control it if you accidentally take a human's life your life will be taking in retribution." Without another word Natsuki ran off.

"What exactly happened last night?"

A/N: I would honestly think that shapeshifters or skinwalkers(witches) were the original children of the moon because I always imagined werewolves to be human mutations and curses. Tell me your thoughts if you have any. Tell me how you like this Natsuki I'm working on her character much more then I am Shizuru's…

I've basically have the first few chapters of this fic written out already. It's when we get to the introduction of the bad guy that writers block kicks my ass and I'm not sure where to go from there. I might need help

This story is my 99th post on . *shakes hands over my head* So for anniversary number 100 I've decided to make it a Sailor moon fic since I started on with Haruka/Michiru fics. 3 I'm excited I've missed the pairing. I think the sailor moon section is dying…

Review!

It's science time! Mutations in DNA sequences generally occur through one of two processes:

1. DNA damage from environmental agents such as ultraviolet light (sunshine), nuclear radiation or certain chemicals

2. Mistakes that occur when a cell copies its DNA in preparation for cell division.

Happy Mother's day.
