Ojisan- uncleDoo Itashimashite - It's okay.
Half of the classified adds on the paper were circled in red. Akio came up behind me and peered over my shoulder biting into an apple. At the crunch noise I jumped up, startled, and looked at him, "Do not do that!"
He continued eating his apple, acting as if he had no care in the world, "Koneko is asleep." He said taking his final bite, twirling the core in his hand.
"Arigatou." I said turning back to the paper.
"Any luck?" He sat beside me, now tossing the core.
"Hai…" I watched him.
"You're lying." He stopped tossing the core and went back to twirling it.
"I know my ID did not have that much information, where you can tell when I am lying." I folded up the newspaper and threw it near the trashcan.
"Make my work harder why don't you." He said playfully punching me "Well, anyway, it's hard to find good jobs here with out any college degree."
I sighed, "Maybe I'll just get a waitress job somewhere."
"If you're going to do that," He threw the course into the trashcan. "My ojisan, he owns a bar in down and pays his employee's more then most. Plus, you keep all of the tips you get."
I narrowed my eyes, "Not a strip joint."
"Hentai!" He laughed, "Iie, it's just a bar, with karaoke. You know stuff like that."
"Well, I need the job badly. So, okay." I saw him smile and he jumped up and grabbed the phone.
"Great, I'll get you an interview."
^*^*^
"So this is Nagoya?" Mrs. Tuskino asked, taking her bag from the trunk of their car. They were checking into the Nagoya Kanko Hotel, which was near the airport.
"It's mostly business here, do you really think that Haruka would come here?" Shingo asked taking the bag from his mother and followed his dad and Mamoru inside the front.
"There is unique energy present here or has past through here, so it's the best place to start." Rei looked around the small piece of the town they were in. "Michiru, I think the best thing we can do if first drive around and see if we can find Haruka's car and then ask around."
"But she should have just gotten here, do you think anyone would have seen her? You know how anti-social she is."
"True, Makoto, but what else can we do?"
^*^*^*^
"My ojisan says he is not busy this evening around 5 o'clock, so he can do an interview then."
"Arigato Akio-kun." I gave him a friendly smile, and he returned it.
"It's called Parkside and it is behind Nadya Park." He wrote the address down on the pad that the hotels give.
"Akio, if you do not have to work later, could you take care of Koneko?" I asked after standing there for a while.
"I'd love to!" He grinned, "I'll be here around four, that will give you sometime to find it." He picked up his coat "It is two now, so I'll let you get ready. Ja ne." Then he was gone.

After showering, I came out of the bathroom around 2:45 and looked through my bag for something to wear. I settle on a pair a black jeans and a white tank top with a black vest. While I was getting dressed, Koneko woke up and was starring at me. "Hey there." I kissed her forehead, the vest hanging off one arm. "Mr. Iseki is going to take care of you while mommy goes and tries to find a job, ne?" Her only answer was a kawaii toothless smile.
I returned the smile and finished putting on my vest as she watched her little legs kicking in the air.
Even though technically she was only a day or so old, she was growing faster then a "normal" baby.
"At six months she is already a year old. It will stay like that until she is 15, then she'll grow even quicker with a month being a year until she catches up with the other girls who would be in their early twenties" Haruka recalled Luna telling them one day at a senshi meeting during the second week of her pregnancy.
'Taking this job means I will miss so much of her growing up. Though, without a job, there is no food, and without food she'll die.' I thought running my fingers, which was lightly covered with moose, through my hair.
I looked through my bag again, for a pair of my motorcycle boots when I came across a folder I must have accidentally picked up. I opened it and inside was a blank birth certificate. "Strange…" I thought and flipped though the other pages the folder contained, nothing else important.
I stared at the blank certificate and began filling it out.(1)
"Name:" I smiled at the thought, "Koneko Bunny Tenou. Date of Birth: June 30…" I continued to fill it out and when I got near the bottom, "Birth Mother: Haruka Tenou." Again, smiled and looked over at Koneko.
The only blank spot on the certificate was the name of the father; I just ignored it and placed it back into the folder.
At 3:50, Akio came back; he was wearing blue jeans and a gray shirt with "Nagoya University" written on it.
"Ready? I was just thinking, the streets get confussing here so, I can drive you there."
I thought for a moment, "You sure…?"
"Hai!"
I went back into the bedroom, and placed her in her carrier. "Koneko-chan, we're going on a small trip. I know you're getting sick on this hotel room."

Outside Akio led them to his silver Mustang convertible. "Nice." I said looking at his cars stereo system, as I strapped Koneko in.
"Thanks." He said turning down the volume before the car was started. "My speakers are back there and I listen to my music really loud." Her started the car, as I got in, and before I fasten my seat belt, he pulled out of the parking lot and began racing down the street.
"Hey! Baby on board!" I yelled at him.
"Oh hai!" He gasped letting off the gas, "Gomen."
"Doo Itashimashite." I clicked my seatbelt, and watched the builds go by. "It's not as crowded as Tokyo."
"You're right, tourists really do not come here."
After 15 minutes of small chitchat and driving, he pulled up to Parkside bar. "I'll be here around 6, if you get out early, call my cell." He gave me the number and I got out kissing Koneko. "Ja."
^*^*^*^
"…Arigatou." They had finished asking another hotel if they had saw Haruka, and all have not. "How many have we been to? About 5 or 6?" I asked moving my aqua hair from my face.
"Seven." Ami correct.
They drove down another street, and something caught Rei's eye a yellow convertible. "Hey! That looks like Haruka's!" Everyone looked in Rei direction. "Turn here Mamoru!" Rei yelled as her got into the turning lane to turn into the Marunochi Tokyu Inn.

Akio, walked through the lobby to get his schedule for next week, when he saw a bunch of people in the lobby. He put the carrier behind the desk and typed on the computer. "Busy day Izumi?" He asked a red haired girl.
"Iie. They are just looking for someone."
"All of them?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"Hai." She nodded, "You were here early this morning, did a Haruka Tenou check in?"
He gasped, snatching his paper half off the copier.
"Why don't you check on the freaking computer!" A woman with long blue hair was yelling at his friend.
"Ma'am, people who check in is confidential." He man said trying to defend himself.
The woman threw up her hands and brought them back down slamming hard unto the desk.
"Gomen," Akio got in front of his friend "Ms. Tenou did check in but she left this afternoon."
"Are you sure?" A tall man with black her and blue eyes asked. Akio narrowed his eyes, "Hai, I am sure." Out of the corner of his eyes her saw the carrier moved, 'Koneko must be restless.' "I have to get home now, my daughter is tired."
"Wait!"
He turned to the man who had questioned him, "What?"
"Did she check out or just leave for the afternoon and will be back?"
Akio for some reason did not trust them.
'Should I tell the them truth?' The thought, again looking at Koneko's direction.
Opps? I'm stopping here.
Heh, I did not like this chapter….
1. I'm just trying to find a "legal" way to make Usagi/Koneko hers. You'll see why in later chapters.
