Here is the next chapter! What will happen? Only I know. And you will too once you go read the chapter!

Good news minna-san! I'm working on part IV of this series!

Elphie Muse: We just had some minor difficulties in the first draft.

Yeah...wrote ten pages, reread them and didn't like what I had. It was too choppy and didn't flow well. So it got demolished. Now I'm rewriting it and I like it better.

Fighter: Get on with the story!

Hai...hai...

I still don't own any of the recognizable stuff. I do own the plot, Sky/Kaze, Kaijin, other good guys yet to be introduced, and the villians and anything else I forgot.

Last time on CSI: NY...

Wrong bloody show again! It's 'Last time on Eternal Senshi'!

He nodded and began walking away. He made it several feet before collapsing to the ground. The Senshi saw an arrow sticking out of his back. They ran to his side as Kaze held the confused and semi conscious Mercury.

"We need to get him somewhere and treat that wound," Mars said.

"Our place is closest," Haruka said. The others nodded and they left.

Kai opened his eyes, frowning when he found himself in a strange room lying on a strange bed. He half closed his eyes and glanced around the room. He heard the doorknob rattle and closed his eyes even further, making them little more than slits to see out of. He evened out his breathing and lay perfectly still.

He watched as Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, Sky, and Ami walked into the room. "It's been two days since showed up," Sky said. "Who the hell is he?"

"I don't know. I recognize him from the gym. I sparred with him. He said his name was Kaifuu," Haruka said.

"Doesn't tell us much about him," Ami said. During the two days that Kai had been asleep, Eternal Sailor Moon and the others had purged Ami of the negative energy she had been infected with.

"I'd like to know why he has the symbols of Uranus and Neptune on his arms," Michiru said.

"Should I heal him?" Hotaru asked.

Kai glared at Ami, suppressing his rage and anger. "You probably should," Sky said. "I want to know who this guy thinks he is."

"None of your damn business," Kai growled. He went to push himself up but was forced back down by Haruka.

"Watch your language boy," she ordered.

Kai grabbed her wrist and pushed her away. He rose shakily to his feet and shook his head, clearing his vision. "Give me one reason why I should do anything you say," he demanded curtly.

"Because you're really not in a position to give us orders," Michiru softly reminded him.

He slumped back down on the bed, a defeated look on his face. "I'll tell you as much as I'm allowed to," he said.

"You'll tell us everything!" Sky snapped. "Like why you're so hell bent on killing Ami!"

"I told you," Kai said, folding his arms.

"You could have been lying," Haruka pointed out.

"Now tell us the truth," Sky ordered. Kai remained silent. "We're waiting."

Kai held back the tears, not wanting to show any weakness. "Kaifuu…if that is your real name, please," Michiru asked.

A tear slid down his face. "I…I was five…when they…when they were… killed…" He took in a deep breath. "I watched as Mercury ordered her legion of Daetamashii to crush them." His body began shaking, having never told anyone what he had witnessed that day. "The demons had followed us to America…and we knew it but I still wanted to play in the park that day…"

Ami wiped one of the tears from her face. "I'm sorry," she whispered, reaching out to touch him.

He lunged away from her, his eyes wild. "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" he bellowed. "THEY DIED BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU COULD HAVE LEFT US ALONE!"

"Kaifuu…" Haruka began.

He bowed his head. "I know…" he whispered. "She's healed…"

"She's not the one who killed your parents. Not anymore," Michiru said.

"Could have fooled me," he muttered and left the room.

Haruka sighed. "Let me try to talk with him," she said and followed Kai out. She walked out onto the balcony and found him easily lounging on the railing, one leg dangling off. "Not the safest place to sit Kaifuu," she said.

"My name's Kaijin," he corrected.

"Any particular reason you're flirting with death right now?" she asked.

Kai started laughing. "I've been flirting with death since the death of my parents," he returned. "Ever since I took up their fight I've been battling the demons and Daetamashii…and trying to avenge my parents' deaths."

"Kaijin, Ami isn't…" Haruka began.

"The same person who killed my parents, I know," he said.

"You need to give her a chance Kai."

"I know that. But…it's hard to turn around and forgive someone you've been hating and hunting for nearly eleven years," he said.

"A valid point," she conceded. "Just…give her a chance is all I'm saying."

He nodded. "I'll do my best," he agreed.

"So I don't suppose you can tell us who your parents are," she said.

He shrugged. "I could," he said with a grin.

Haruka waited a few moments before it became apparent that he wasn't going to tell. She grinned, knowing that she would do the same thing. "A hint maybe then?"

Kai stretched and laid back on the railing, his hands behind his head. "You've got hints," he returned.

Haruka frowned and rubbed her chin thoughtfully. Hints…hints…the tattoos… but that doesn't mean anything… she mused to herself. Then again…the swords… She looked at him and realization hit her as she recognized his eyes.

"So is it Tenno Kaijin or Kaioh Kaijin?" Haruka asked.

He smiled, his sea blue eyes closed. "Tenno Kaijin," he confirmed, a faint smile on his face.

"I'm almost afraid to ask but…" she began.

"I'm your and Michiru's biological son," he answered before she could finish asking her question.

"Mind if I ask how that's possible? Because last time I checked two women couldn't have a child together. Not that I'm not grateful," she added.

Kai chuckled and sat up, hopping down from the railing. "I don't know all the details and, frankly, I don't want to know the details. All I know from what Setsuna-obasan told me was that you and Okāsan were able to have a child due to the Silver Crystal that the Princess entrusted to you before she died." (aunt; mother)

"That's good to know…" Haruka said thoughtfully. "I had been wondering if something like that was possible, but I've been too afraid to ask."

"Well, now you know it's possible," Kai said.

Haruka nodded. "Was it hard growing up without your parents?"

"It was…a bit lonely," he confessed. "I mean, after you two died it was only me and Setsuna-obasan. She trained me as best she could for this mission."

"What mission?" Haruka inquired.

"To stop hell coming to Earth," he said. "She figured Mercury might be the key to what caused the Hell Gate to rise. She did kill most of the Senshi."

"You don't think so?" Haruka asked.

"I think she was a contributing factor, but what made the Gates of Hell rise was the fact that the Daetamashii found what they were looking for," he said.

"The Pure Soul," Haruka said. He nodded in confirmation. "Any ideas as to who it is?" Haruka asked.

"A few," he said. "My advice is to just keep to your mission and protect the Princess," he said curtly.

The hint was subtle but Haruka understood it. "I don't think you'll have to worry about that Kai." Kai tried to stifle a yawn but failed. Haruka smiled. "Get some sleep Kai. You look like you need it."

"Gee thanks," he muttered, but there was a smile on his face. He walked inside, skirting past Michiru and headed back to the room he had woken up in.

"He tell you anything?" Michiru asked.

"Quite a bit actually," she said. "He is from the future. And from the few details he dropped, all of us save for Pluto died. The two of us managed to survive for a time but…well…" she trailed off with a shrug.

"He say who his parents were?" Michiru asked.

"He didn't say. I figured it out," Haruka said.

"So tell me," Michiru demanded.

Haruka smiled mischievously. "Does it really matter who his parents are?"

"I suppose not, but…there's something about him that's familiar. If I didn't know any better, he could be you…except for his eyes…his eyes are…"

"Yours," Haruka supplied, wrapping her arms around Michiru.

"Nani?" the aqua haired Senshi asked.

"Kai is our son Michi," Haruka whispered.

"But…how?" she asked.

"A way that I suspected but was afraid to tell you of," Haruka said.

"But…you and I can…we can…" Michiru was unable to finish her sentence.

Haruka held her partner close. "Yes. We can give Hotaru a little brother…or sister…maybe both," she added with a wink. Michiru rested her head against Haruka's chest, smiling for the first time in days.

Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi Eternal Senshi

Kai stared at the ceiling, having been awake for the past hour. He now had little idea of what to expect other than what had happened in his past. Unable to sleep and unwilling to remain in bed he got up and wandered about the apartment. He saw the piano sitting off to the side in the main room and remembered Setsuna telling him that Haruka had played piano while Michiru played the violin.

Kai walked over to the piano and saw the violin case. He slowly reached out, afraid that if he moved to quickly it would all be a dream and he would wake up in harsh reality where the Legions of Hell ruled. His fingers touched the case and he reverently opened it. The smell of the well kept but old wood assailed his nose and he smiled.

The warrior from the future tenderly picked up the violin and the bow. Carefully tucking the instrument under his chin and on his shoulder, he softly drew the bow across the strings. A small smile formed on his face at how well tuned Michiru kept her violin.

Kai closed his eyes and slowly began to play, the soft notes echoing throughout the room. His calloused fingers glided over the strings as well as Michiru's as he picked up speed while he played.

Haruka and Michiru came out of the hall and stopped as they entered the main room. The moonlit window that led to the balcony framed Kai. His back was to them as he continued to play the soft, sad song. The two Senshi listened as their future son poured not only his heart and soul into the song, but all of his emotions.

Haruka and Michiru could almost see the future in Kaijin's song. Haruka pulled Michiru close. Kai stopped playing a few minutes later, letting the last note die in the air. He bowed his head and stood there for a few moments before he turned. He jumped when he saw Haruka and Michiru standing there.

"Sumimasen!" he exclaimed.

"It's all right," Michiru said. "You play the violin beautifully."

His face darkened in embarrassment. "Not as well as you were…are…able to," he mumbled, carefully putting the instrument away.

"Have you even had any practice in playing the violin?" Haruka asked.

He shrugged. "A little before my mother died."

Michiru smiled faintly. "Maybe I could teach you some more before you have to go back," she said.

Kai sat down on the couch and folded his legs underneath him. "I don't want to go back," he said quietly.

"Kai…" Haruka began.

"I know. I'll need to," he whispered.

Michiru sat down next to him and tentatively placed an arm around his shoulders. When he didn't flinch away she scooted closer to him. "The future will be different Kai. You kept Ami from being corrupted permanently. You're parents would be proud of you. I know we are."

As Kai began to say something the doors to the balcony flew open with a strong gust of wind. He immediately leapt to his feet, turning into his Guardian form as he did so. He ran to the balcony and looked around.

"Kai, it's okay. It's just a strong gust of wind," Haruka told him, joining him on the balcony.

Kai's eyes narrowed. "Caused by that," he growled, nodding towards a large demon. He leapt off the railing and easily landed on the street.

"Kai…god damn it…" Haruka cursed.

"He takes after you," Michiru teased.

"Maybe, but now isn't the time," Haruka said. "Ready?"

Michiru nodded. "We have to help Kai. I won't let these things hurt him, even if he is from the future…he's still our son."

Haruka nodded. "Uranus Eternal! Make UP!"

Michiru felt power flood her system. "Neptune…" she began. Akurei shimmered into the shadows and grinned. "Eternal! Make…"

"Now…" he whispered.

His hand shot out and dark energy flew around Michiru as she cried out, "UP!" She screamed in pain as the darkness filled her being.

Uranus watched in horror as Michiru transformed. Only the white body part remained the same color. The rest turned black. "Iie…" she whispered.

Uranus: WHY THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU SO MEAN TO ME AND NEPTUNE?

Samantha Carter of SG-1: She's mean to all her favorite characters. You should see some of the stuff she put me through.
