Author's Note: Okay this idea just came to me and won't leave me alone. Don't ask me where it's going to go, or what the pairings are because the only one I know of will be Hotaru and Sai. Oh and if you haven't figured it out yet this is a Ronin Warrior/Sailor Moon Crossover. I am currently editing this story to better explain the plot and background. I am sorry for the long absences and I'm going to try to update this story monthly now.

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING!

WARNING: Okay there will be adult topics in this fic and the rating might change if I feel I've crossed the line. The will be mentions of abuse, and suicidal tendency by some characters.

Prologue

Hotaru couldn't take it. She could feel everything, yet the cold wind of winter was numb against her. Tears streaked her bruised face, as her nails dug into her arms as she ran. Slick, rough hands ran over her body even though they were gone now. She had been running along the slush and snow covered street. She had stumbled many times and her heart and breath burned. Hotaru fell to the snowy ground hard letting out another ragged breath. She tried to block out their words, their rough painful touch to no avail. Getting away from them though hadn't been easy. She had several cuts and a large gash in her leg and she was pretty sure she twisted her ankle. Whimpering in pain Hotaru let her eyes drift shut. She was so sleepy now, as the snow around her leg began to take a pink tint. Finally a small voice in the back of her mind caught a very small portion of her attention. What about the other Senshi? They'll be looking for you. It piped up and Hotaru wearily cracked open her eyes.

"I can't go back…. I can't take it." Hotaru wept into the snow. Her clothes were wet from the snow, and torn in a few places. When she managed to escape she had been so glad she found her black clothes. Many cars had gone by the broken Senshi, but she didn't care. Then a blue car, slowed down pulling over to the side. A young man got out of the driver's side and jogged over to the broken down body.

"Hey, can you hear me?" A crisp tenor voice with a British accent asked. All Hotaru could do was whimper at the voice, but a sudden rush of adrenaline coursed through her as she was lifted off the ground.

"NO! No let me go!" She screamed kicking and pushing against the man. "Please don't! No not again!" She whimpered when the arms held fast. She couldn't, wouldn't open her eyes to look at this new threat. If she didn't look maybe she could ignore it or it would go away.

"Shhh, I'm not going to hurt you." He hushed her opening the door. Placing her gentle in the car he got back in and began to drive off. "Hey, hold on. I'm going to take you to a hospital okay?" He asked a hand lightly touching hers before she mustarded enough strength to pull it away. She could have jumped from the car but she hadn't, she didn't have the will to fight hard. Struggle, beg or protest she could manage but a fight wasn't on that list. With tired eyes Hotaru forced herself to look over at the guy. Auburn hair and fair skin, was all her mind could grab onto thanks to blood loss.

"Hey, you have to stay awake okay?" He said concern filling his eyes. Turning the heat on full blast on in the car his eyes kept darting between the road and the injured girl. "What's your name? Is there anyone I can get a hold of for you?"

"….no…" Hotaru could feel the tears rolling down her checks once again. She was too ashamed she couldn't face the other senshi. Pulling her arms to her she began to shake as her eyes closed and the man's voice faded from her ears.
