Chapter 6

They all landed with a thud when they hit the familiar ground of Tokyo. It took them a few minutes to realize they were back, because the alien feeling of the different teleportation took a lot out of you. The Starlights ran over to the senshi when they saw them fall. The senshi had landed a few feet away from where they had first been taken.

"Are you all ok?" Princess Kakyuu asked when she reached the senshi. "I don't see any bruises . . ."

"We're all fine, I think." Usagi answered. She turned to the other senshi. "Is everyone ok?"

Everyone either nodded or groaned a yes. Some started to struggle with the battle of standing up, while others relied on simply getting out of transformation.

The other three Starlights rushed over around then. They looked around franticly to see how they could be of some use. That's when a new problem aroused.

Seiya's eyes caught glimpse of Haruka's form standing up and walking towards Michiru. "What the hell are you doing here?" Seiya shouted.

Haruka suddenly realized her mistake. Walking towards Michiru hadn't been the best idea, and telling the truth would sound like a flat out lie. She had to play it cool. She had to play herself.

" I'm a senshi." She answered, staring him down.

Seiya could play this game too. "I've heard that already. Why are you with this group here and now. I thought we had an agreement."

"No, it was more like an order. I don't like following orders or laws that are like the ones you gave out."

"I already know. You don't like to follow the law. But my question hasn't been answered yet. Why are you here?" Seiya added slyly.

Haruka hadn't enjoyed the statement Seiya made. Who would? But Haruka couldn't keep playing a game that Seiya was going to be able to throw in statements like that and win.

"I was on the white moon, so I was transported to the same place they were. I had no control over it." Haruka sighed.

Although Seiya was pleased he had won, he didn't show it. Haruka was a tough opponent. You couldn't show real feelings in front of her or she would almost have access to your mind. "Which means you can leave now."

"I'm already gone. But I will be back." Haruka answered and started to head for the park's exit.

"You come back and I tell the police!" Seiya yelled after her.

Haruka stopped in her tracks and turned on one foot. She just glared at Seiya as if she could see right through him and didn't like what she saw.

The rest of the senshi were horribly confused or they agreed with Seiya. Either way, no one was stopping either of the two senshi. Mamoru though, doubted Seiya less and less but didn't know why. He just watched hoping for peace, same with Usagi.

"I am coming back, but you can't call me on anything. I have done nothing. You need more evidence. Anyway, I am coming back, like it or not." Haruka spat. She aggressively turned and left.

Seiya wasn't satisfied, but let her go. Seiya had other plans. He knew exactly where to go for more evidence. He was very sure of what to do with the problem at hand.

Michiru, on the other hand, was in a pool of confusion. She was once again on the verge of tears. She cursed herself for being so sentimental. She knew what Haruka would say about her if she saw her like this. She was being a crybaby and a wimp. She now knew why Usagi cried so much.

Seiya turned to Ami. "Ami, do you still have that list of rapes and murders?"

Ami, now in regular form, looked confused and then knew what Seiya was going to do. She put her hands in the pockets of her skirt and came across the paper Seiya was referring to.

"I grabbed them before I transformed." Ami explained. "You want to know the Dad's name so we can find and question him, right?"

"Exactly. That way we can find anymore information on what the hell happened so we can protect ourselves." Seiya answered.

"And why in the world someone like this is still around." Taiki added. "I mean with all these reported crimes she should be in jail or something right?"

"Her Dad's name is Genro Tenoh. But Luna, did you . . ."

"Yes. I got the information on Haruka's father. Artimis and I couldn't find much on Niloc and Dillabcra so we looked up him instead. I know what hospital he's at and what is wrong with him."

"Great. Let's go there now and ask some questions and receive some answers."

The hospital was very, very big. The senshi had a hard time finding out where Mr. G. Tenoh's room was. They also couldn't really rely on help from any of the talking cats because they weren't aloud in the hospital. Of course, the cats were in bags carried by either Ami, Minako, or Chibiusa. He was on one of the higher floors. The senshi had to take the elevator to see him. Not only was the hospital tall, but wide as well. Walking through a maze of rooms filled with diseased people who were suffering and avoiding passing nurses and doctors wasn't a very simple task to accomplish. Various screams and shout from patients and/or visitors didn't help the atmosphere at all.

They finally found his room at Rm. 29037. He was alone in the room which made it a whole lot easier to talk about what they intended to talk about. Before they entered, Ami wanted to make a last minute check on what Genro was in for.

"What is Genro Tenoh in for Luna?" Ami questioned at the door. All the other senshi wanted to know too.

"Well, since Haruka tried to murder him, he had a great deal of blood lost. Before the ambulance reached the house, a form of cancer entered his blood system. It's a non-communicable disease so don't worry. He's been fighting the disease and he's much better now. He will only need to stay in a little while longer."

"Oh, good. Then we most likely won't have to worry about him all of the sudden collapsing on us. Thank-you Luna." Ami closed the top of the bag and the senshi walked inside.

It was what you would expect for a hospital room. Empty and bare. The television wasn't on so it was quiet too. The window was open but the lights were off. The room had a loneliness ring to it. It would seem deserted save the fact they knew it wasn't.

The man lay in the white plain bed. He was just staring off into space. He had wrinkles on his face and hands. He had pale blonde hair on his head and brown eyes. He didn't look much like Haruka actually. His mouth was in a frown. His face's expression was one the senshi knew all too well. Haruka's face had it too when you couldn't decipher if it was sorrow, regret, heartless, sad, etc.

"Excuse me sir." Ami began. "But would you by any chance be Genro Tenoh?"

The man's eyes seemed to come to life at Ami's question. He obviously hadn't known that the senshi were standing there.

"Who wants to know?" The man asked suspiciously that it nearly sounded like Haruka's but somewhat different.

"Um, you don't know us but we know your daughter. . ." Ami tried to sound polite.

"Daughter? I have no daughter. Only a witches whore of a child. She's the reason I'm in this hellhole." The man objected.

Seiya tried because they all knew Ami wouldn't get much out of him.

"We know. We're having some trouble with her and need some help. We thought if you could give us some information on her we could get her arrested. Anything you could give us on her please?"

A smirk was formed on he old man's face. "I would give anything to see her behind bars, or at least suffering. She's killed many innocent people. She lies as much as she breathes. Guilt, I'm happy to say, gets her hard. Like when she tried to kill me the first time, it hit her immediately after she did it and she called the police for it. She lied to the police, saying I made her kill her mother. I would never had done anything to hurt my ex-wife. The only reason we divorced was because I was getting over a drug problem. We had told each other if I got over it that we'd get back together. I never did anything to make Yuiren dislike me."

"Oh! Yuiren? We must be in the wrong room. We only know a Haruka Tenoh." Usagi exclaimed blushing hard.

Michiru was about to object when the old man answered instead for her. "Haruka is not her real name. She always wished it to be though. We are talking of the same person."

"Oh." Usagi answered, really embarrassed now.

"I got custody of her and her brother after the incident because that's what the will for my wife said." He continued. "Her brother had a horrible disability. He was crippled in his right leg. She appeared to like him at that time. Her brother's name was Chûei. He was an intelligent young boy, despite the problem with his leg. I home-schooled him because I wanted him to avoid getting teased at school and he didn't want to go either. Yuiren thought that I didn't want him educated at all and she wanted to teach him what she had learned at school. I saw no problem with it since it seemed like a good idea, save the reason mind you. Although I failed to see that she was doing poorly in school. She was a very bright child but often got into fights at school with teachers and classmates. I did my best to get her on the right track but she just wouldn't. Her grades were high enough though. It's just that she got into so many fights at school. She turned Chûei against me too. In the so called 'study sessions' with him she must have been finding ways to make every thing I did seem like I was doing to hurt him. She told the school I was beating her and unfortunately they believed her. The bruises she either gave herself or got them at school. The PTA really grew to hate me. She always loved being in control of things. When she got older, she was getting very strong and deceitful. She was getting money in some way I didn't know. All I know is with it she bought a gun. One day, she came into m room when she was supposed to be teaching Chûei. She pointed the gun at me and said "I'm having a course on Sex Ed. in school. I want to try it." So I had no choice. The gun was always within her reach. It was Chûei who saved me after the fifth time. He called the police on her. The court, like the first time, had no evidence to fix it so we just went home. She had lied again, saying I was raping her. Chûei couldn't say anything at court and as punishment, she beat him until he couldn't walk and then raped him. I had no knowledge of it. I found out that morning, but Yuiren apologized and seemed really upset and Chûei didn't seem to care so I just punished her but didn't report it. But it happened several times. Then I caught her doing it to Chûei and I tried to stop her but she shot Chûei in the head. Then she turned and shot me. I grabbed the phone and called the police as I tried to stop the blood. I lost custody of her and have been stuck here ever since. I heard about her though. She was really bad to kids at the orphanage. Every one she went to. Then I hadn't gotten information on her for about a year or two when she got out of them save the fact she had become really good in racing. Then I got news that she had enrolled in Mugen. I was so happy and thought she had turned over a new leaf until I heard she was often disappearing on campus. I was devastated. And when there were problems there I knew she was somehow involved with them. When Mugen school blew up if you will, I know she was involved. She didn't go into any schools after that. It was really depressing. Now, you tell me what she is doing and I will try to help you in any way that I can. I promise."

Seiya, (I bet you can guess) was really happy at this point and was very sure this man was very dependable. In fact, he felt that he should be getting ready to go to the police and have Haruka brought to justice that minute! Seiya already had the questions in his mind and some of which had been answered already. But, some were not.

"So, Haruka, or Yuiren as you call her, has broken the law before. Has she ever been in juvenile school or prison?" Seiya asked slowly.

"No. The cases still haven't been proven unfortunately. I can swear to you though that she did those things, though I can't say why. Maybe it's because she never made many friends. She was always pretty much of a loner. Whenever she did make a friend, something went horribly wrong. Like one girl I heard she made good friends with. Um. . . Daynen, or Dee Lin, no, um DN? Yes! That was it! DN was a pretty girl. I know because they sent me Yuiren's school picture each year. The names were on the back. But, Yuiren raped the girl. Then she switched orphanages. She did to many people. Not all reported to the police though. Some were just reported to the guidance consoler or posted online. But I know they are true. I'm living proof of what she is capable of. Whenever Yuiren gets close to someone, there is a horrible consequence in the end. Or if Yuiren makes an enemy, there are things worse than death." The man murmured the end. His eyes looked kind of distant, as if he was remembering a strong homesickness or memory. His voice got soft too.

Of course Seiya didn't notice this at all. He was actually getting happier with the knowledge that this fiend was going to get put to justice. He was making a mental note and physical note (he had brought a pen and a pencil with him for really important information) of every bit of statistics he could possibly get from the man. Though he felt he had gotten enough.

Usagi on the other hand wasn't enjoying this at all. She couldn't believe (she never could as you know) that Haruka could ever do something like this! It was really hard to swallow.

Setsuna's eyes were darkening. It was as if she had somehow already known, though she was positive she hadn't. The same went for Hotaru.

Most of the Inners believed it too, especially Minako. She was almost as excited as Seiya was. Makoto pretty much too.

Mamoru, surprisingly, didn't believe a word of it. He had a feeling that something was missing. Something wasn't being told or wasn't being remembered. Until it was, he stood on Haruka's side in this battle field.

Michiru felt like the rope in tug-of-war. She wanted with all her heart to believe Haruka, but she had more reason to believe this man who had been called the devil by her lover. What was she to do? The letter didn't give half as much information as did Haruka's father. She would have to talk to Haruka. But not as lover to lover or she may be deceived. She would have to talk as one soldier to another. Sworn as honor, and may the heart speak.

"Thank you sir. We owe you a lot. You will see Haruka behind bars very soon. We have to go now." Seiya announced. Seiya then left with the other senshi put the door. He never saw the man in the bed's big, wide, grin.
