Disclaimer: I do not own sailor moon or any of the characters. All I own it Tsuki and Daichi.
A/N: this is a much darker story than the original so be warned that this story might trigger you. This is more or less the original idea that isn't quite as clean or tame as well as much darker.
Trigger warning: graphic mentions of abuse and Rape in this chapter. You have been warned!
The rain pelted down painfully as she glanced at the smeared ink on the crumbled paper in her hand as she paused beneath a small bus stop though it did little to keep the rain from drenching her through. Fighting tears she read the house number and glanced around, trying to see if she could make out any of the numbers through the bad storm.
What if she hates me? What if she's like everyone else and thinks I'm some form of fucking freak?
She thought, tears threatening to spill over as she leaned against the cold metal rod that held up the small shed before her eyes landed on the numbers 280.
There it is.
Nervously she took a step toward the house, cursing mentally as it even hurt to walk and she was sure that she was bleeding again from every wound there was.
If I can just get there and maybe get them to call an ambulance.
She thought as she staggered forward, the world blurring a bit as her hand met with the slippery metal gate that grated as it slid open.
"Did you hear something?" Haruka asked as she looked up from where she and Hotaru was playing a board game on the coffee table, though Michiru shook her head.
"No, I didn't." the aqua haired teen answered, looking up from the board as she made her move earning a sigh from her lover.
"I'd better go check it out."
Haruka stated as she walked toward the door, just as a soft knock sounded from the other side.
Please don't let her hate me; I know I'm a bastard but Dad's actions aren't my fault.
When Haruka opened the door she saw a young girl with shoulder length black hair sink down onto the step, blood seeping out of her dark colored clothing.
Haruka's eyes widened as the girl looked up, tearful eyes pleading with hers as she added "I'm Tsuki T….Tenou….." she began, panting in pain though Haruka didn't give her time to finish.
"Setsuna! Get the first aid kit!"
Tsuki felt herself weaken as she noticed that the older girl knelt down in front of her and asked in a soft yet shocked voice "You said your name is Tenou. Your father wouldn't be called Daichi would he?"
Tsuki barely managed a nod as Haruka helped her to her feet and lead her inside, though Tsuki refused to move a step away from the rug.
"I'm filthy….I'm fine right here."
She stated, her voice rough as if commanding something though Haruka saw the look of fear in the younger girl's eyes.
"It's fine. But I have to ask, why are you here? I mean it's really late and raining?" Haruka stated, crossing her arms across her chest as she waited for an explanation.
Tsuki licked her cracking lips as she adverted her gaze to the rug, tears suddenly filling her eyes though she blinked them away.
Because I've always wanted to meet you and you're the only hope I have?
"This was the only place I felt I could try to go." Tsuki answered as she slowly took off her jacket, hissing as the wet fabric brushed against the back of her shirt which was dyed deep red.
Haruka's eyes went wide at this as she gently reached over to see that the back of the girl's once white shirt was torn, revealing bruising and cut flesh.
Who did this?" She asked, gently unsticking the fabric from the battered skin though her only reply was a humorless laugh as Tsuki retorted
"My spineless jellyfish of a half-brother and what is supposed to be my mom."
Haruka felt bile rise in her throat at the thought of any parent being that cruel toward their child. A spanking for being reckless she could understand…..but this...This was beyond heartless.
"Why would they do something like this?"
The blonde winced at how pathetic her own voice sounded though this thought ran from her mind as she noticed how the younger girl shifted uncomfortably.
How do I tell her that I'm a freak? She'll hate me!
Tsuki thought as she shifted slightly, not wanting to lie to her new found sister however just before she could figure out what to say an aqua haired woman entered the room, her blue eyes softening and filling with concern when she saw the younger girl.
"Oh my gosh….What happened?" She asked, her voice gentle as she walked over, followed by a tall woman with tan skin and garnet eyes.
"Her….Mom." Haruka bit out, her hands balling into fists but then lightened her gaze. But Tsuki didn't noticed this, no she was busy trying to avoid the gaze of the tallest of the three women.
"Go with Setsuna. She'll help you get cleaned up and find you a change of clothes." Haruka stated with a sigh before storming off toward the stairs, her footfall sounding more like those belonging to a soldier than that of a seventeen year old girl.
Nervously Tsuki followed, eyes glued to the floor as she ascended the stairs behind both Haruka and Setsuna.
"So what happened?" the older girl asked, surprising Tsuki with how soft the tone was when she expected anger.
"Kenji and the hag." Tsuki answered in a whisper, earning a sigh as they entered a room where Setsuna gently began to treat the small cuts on the girl's face.
Tsuki couldn't help but to let the tears that she had been holding in come at the gentle administrations, subconsciously leaning into the warm, moist wash rag.
"Why didn't you ever tell me that it was this bad?" Setsuna scolded lightly, her voice only loud enough for the younger girl to hear.
"I bothered you enough…" Tsuki began, only to be stopped by cold hands carefully pulling her shirt away from the clotting wounds.
"Tenoh-Chan I am not putting up with this shit from you tonight. You do not have to face everything alone…..how many times must I tell you that?" the time guardian chided, all while helping the younger teen undress before setting about cleaning her back.
Tsuki tried not to blush as she sat in her blood soaked underwear, though to her surprised Setsuna was still being gentle with her….even if she had annoyed her.
"We need to get you to the hospital…You're still bleeding and I'm pretty sure by the way that you where staggering that it isn't from your menstrual cycle." Setsuna stated after some time of just working in silence, noticing how Tsuki's face turned red.
"No! If I report them…..I…..They…..They'll do worse." The teen stated, her heart suddenly picking speed as the room seemed to close in around her.
"No they won't Tsuki…Because you're safe here. I know you're afraid to tell anyone about your powers but you are a sailor soldier just like the rest of us and we never would let anyone get hurt, least of all a child and one of our friends." Setsuna replied, her voice stern but full of concern at the same time as she gingerly rubbed the unbruised part of Tsuki's forearm, knowing that even without the bruises that the teen would react negatively to a hug.
Meanwhile Haruka was seated in the family room downstairs, face buried in her hands as she tried to wrap her mind around what she had just been told.
"Do you think Dad knew about her? Maybe that's why he shipped me off to a group home?" Haruka wondered aloud, only to feel her lover press a kiss into her temple.
"I don't know but I do know that she is going to need all of us for the next few weeks." Michiru answered, earning a dry chuckle from the blonde.
"So we're keeping the little stray?" the wind soldier tried to joke though it fell flat and she sighed "I just want to know why the fuck an adult would beat their own child senseless like that."
Michiru sighed and shook her head, not understanding it even in the slightest.
"Me neither love but at least she has us." The aqua haired woman replied just as Setsuna entered the room, a grim look on her face.
"Haruka…Go start the car. We're going to have to take her to the emergency room."
Both of the other teens looked shocked at this as Haruka stood up, concern in her teal eyes as she demanded.
"Why?"
To anyone else she would have sounded rude and angry but to those in the house they knew the real reason for the brashness.
"Haruka, Tsuki was raped. By who I can only assume but from the amount of bleeding I think that maybe it had torn something."
The windows rattled harshly as the wind outside picked up, howling loudly as Haruka's eyes turned stormy.
"Go get her and anything else that she may need. If you need help getting her to the car let me know." Haruka stated before heading outside.
