Summary: It started out like a bad dream, but soon she found herself screaming for salvation she was in the middle of genocide on the entire human race.
Ok...up until now, I tried not to include what was running through my mind...but! I decided what the hey. Especially since I received a review from a reader, they said that I lacked the whole physical persona from my characters. I want to thank you. I love receiving comments. They really help move the story along.

Saints of Satan
Chapter Twenty
The courtroom had to be large with how much international media this case was getting. Serena was sitting in the front row seeing Andrew and Darien sitting side by side. A smile on both of their faces. She sighed and smiled shaking her head. "Even in this kind of a tight situation they can still smile and make light of it." Serena said crossing her arms across her chest.
"Its only going to make people think that they think murder is funny." Rei said angrily.
Serena shook her head "That's not their style. They're trying not to laugh at that." She pointed to the big black bailiff. "His zipper is down."
Lita looked over at the smiling Serena and shook her head.
They continued to sit in that courtroom for months as they went through arguments, crime scene photos, with the last murder case being that of Serena's own family.
The prosecution lawyer stood and walked out from around his table. "Your honor, I would like to call the soul survivor of the attack on the Tsukino residence. Serena Tsukino."
The courtroom buzzed as Serena stood, her blonde hair hanging loose down her back. She walked to the end of her row and took off the long black coat that she'd been wearing, knowing that she was going to be going up onto the stand.
Beneath it she was wearing a black midriff turtleneck sweater that barely covered her ample chest, a pair of tight leather pants and large combat boots.
Andrew and Darien smiled at each other and sat back amused as hell that Serena was showing her support for them.
The crowd gasped though at her clothing choice. No one sure what to make of it. But what caught them off guard the most was Serena sauntering up to the defense table and kissing Darien tongue against tongue.
The judge banged him gavel against the stand "Miss Tsukino! Please!"
Serena grinned as she pulled away from Darien saying out loud for the entire courtroom to hear "I love you Darien Shields."
He laughed lightly "I love you too Serena Tsukino, my little Meatball Head."
Serena took the stand and the bailiff approached her with the bible "Do you swear to the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?"
Serena nodded "you bet." She took her seat and crossed her arms under her breasts and crossing her legs. She smiled and cocked her head to the side, trying not to laugh as she watched Andrew bury his face in his arms, his entire body shaking as he suppressed laughing out loud.
The prosecution attorney fiddled with his tie realizing just how unhelpful Serena was going to be. "For court records…will you please state your full name please?"
"Serena Bailey Tsukino."
"Miss Tsukino, do you recall what happened the day of March seventeenth of this year?"
"Of course I do." Serena said smirking.
"What happened please?"
"I was running late for school when I ran into Darien Shields. He proceeded in making fun of my buns and called me meatball head, but I was mad so I told him "Go Fuck a Sheep." He looked shocked that I swore." Serena said smiling.
"So you insulted Mr. Shields?"
"Yeah, but we've been doing that for a couple of years. It wasn't anything new. I was just pissed this time so I swore at him." She shrugged and looked around the expansive courtroom and made a face at Andrew who had been getting himself under control. But he snorted and buried his face in his arms again trying to mute his giggling.
"Miss Tsukino! Please! Stop interaction with the defense!" The judge said rubbing his forehead.
Serena nodded and saluted him. "Right."
"Miss Tsukino can you tell us what happened afterwards?"
Serena nodded "Sure, I ended up late to school again and got detention again. But on my way home, I heard the roar of motorcycles. I thought it was weird that they were following me, but they passed right by me when I got home and I thought it was coincidence."
"But was it a coincidence?" The lawyer asked turning his back to her and looking at the jury.
"No."
"NO!" The lawyer yelled. Serena arched one of her thin blonde eyebrows at the man and shook her head. "No it was not a coincidence! Tell us all why!"
"I was in my room, sleeping when I heard motorcycles again. The walls were rattling, things falling off everywhere." Serena said as she replayed the gruesome moment in her head. Her amused expression disappeared to be replaced by one of sadness and horror.
She swallowed. "I heard screaming so I got up to see just what was going on. I opened my door and saw my little brother Sammy hanging from his door way with a rope around his neck. I saw my dad dead just outside the door to his bedroom and I heard my mom screaming and men laughing as I'm sure they were raping her." She brushed the tears from her eyes. She looked over at Darien and Andrew their faces serious and sympathetic.
Darien nodded for her to continue. "I screamed and they turned to me, grins on their dirty faces. One big man came towards me and took his club, or bat or whatever and smashed my cat Luna. Her head exploded, her blood and brains covering me, some of it flying into my mouth…" she started to turn green as she remembered the taste. "Oh God…the taste…" she swallowed as she started to throw up a little. "The next…" she took a breath and swallowed again "the next thing I remember was the club come flying towards me and I was out like a light."
"What happened when you woke up Miss Tsukino?"
Serena looked up like she was waking from a dream. "When I woke up?" She closed her eyes and thought. "When I woke up I was in some sort of dungeon, cell deal. I smelled feces and urine, plus the sight of my cat splattered on my pajamas, I puked and passed out. The next thing I remember is waking up to Andrew. He had brought me clean clothes, water and food. He said that he was there to take care of me. Make sure that I was alright." She smiled "He was wearing his usual no shirt, leather pants, big boots and paintball mask. I grew accustomed to the mask. My first time seeing him without it was weird."
"So was it Andrew Furuhata that you met?" The lawyer asked.
She looked over at Andrew "Is that your last name?"
Andrew smiled and nodded.
"Oh, yes, then I guess it was Andrew Furuhata that I met." Serena said nodding.
"It was Andrew Furuhata that you met at the Hell's Army stronghold, what about Darien Shields?"
Serena frowned knowing what he was doing. "Yes, I saw Darien Shields at the Hell's Army stronghold."
"So both of these men were soldiers in the Hell's Army gang?"
Serena nodded "correct."
"Thank you Miss. Tsukino, no further questions your honor."
The short, bumbling defense attorney stood up then and began asking his questions. "What happened when you met both of my clients Miss Tsukino?"
"Andrew gave me an outfit to wear and he turned his back so he wouldn't see me naked. I got dressed and he took me to meet their leader." She shrugged. "After speaking with the leader who threatened me with rape Andrew took me back to my cell. I remember sitting in my cell crying about my family and friends even wishing to see Darien even though he made fun of me, Darien himself came through the door. It was like seeing a knight in shining armor on a white horse."
Serena laughed "But then when I realized that Darien was really part of Hell's Army it was like seeing an ugly ogre on a dragon. But he took me to his room refusing to have me sleep in a disgusting cell. He gave me some new clothes and let me take a shower."
"So both of my clients never offered any hostility towards you? They took care of you am I correct?"
Serena smiled. "Yes, that is correct."
"What happened with my clients during your months kept there?"
"They took care of me. Andrew came to visit, making me laugh, Darien protected me, brought me food. He even snuck in a hot fudge sundae one time." She smiled. "They then told me, that in Hell's Army, that to truly protect a woman she had to marry a man. They don't poach other soldier's wives. So I "married" Darien Shields according to the Armies codes. The next day he was arrested."
"What happened after he was arrested Miss Tsukino?"
"After the news had spread that Andrew and Darien ad been arrested, everyone went nuts. They were gathering up their things' getting ready to move, that's when their leader came to me. He was trying to get me to go with him, saying that I was going to be chained to a bed in the new base, naked for him to have me anytime he wanted me as revenge…"
"Why revenge Miss Tsukino?"
"One night while I was sleeping, their leader's brother, Sapphire, tried to come in and rape me. Darien caught him and fought him, Darien ended up killing Sapphire."
"So my client killed a man to protect you? What happened next?"
Serena smiled affectionately with the memory. "He was sitting on our bed. I woke up hearing him sobbing. I saw the blood on his bare chest and realized what he had done. He had explained what happened. I went to him to comfort him and we ended up making love. I realized it then, that I was in love him."
"You and Darien Shields had intercourse?"
"Yes, we had intercourse, we slept together, made love and fucked!" Serena said sitting back crossing her arms.
Darien shook his head smiling. The defense attorney cleared his throat "you said though, that you realized you were in love with him?"
"Yes, correct. I am in love with Darien Shields, forced soldier of Hell's Army. A man that wanted to be a doctor as a child, but instead of saving people was brain washed to kill them."
"What about Andrew Furuhata?"
Serena grinned, "Andrew was the friend I needed. He would play around and joke around with me. He always made me laugh like a big brother. He was just as protective as Darien was."
"Thank you Miss Tsukino. I'm done with my questions your honor."
The judge nodded and looked at Serena. "You may get off the stand now Miss. Tsukino."
Serena thanked him and walked back to her seat, but not before leaning in to kiss Darien again.
