"Your Honor, this is a conflict of interest! Taiki Kou is Yaten Kou's boyfriend. They have lived together for two years. Taiki cannot possibly defend Mamoru Chiba!" Seiya snapped.
"But, your Honor, Mr. Kou agreed to represent me." Mamoru protested.
"Mr. Kou, is that true?"
"Its is. But, I agreed to represent Mr. Chiba in the burglary case from the week prior to my girlfriend's rape." Taiki folded his hands in front of him.
"Mr. Chiba, you must find new council for your trial against the state in the matter of the rape of miss Yaten Kou."
---
"Will I have to be called to testify?" Yaten clung to Taiki's arm.
"I will be testifying too. As will Detective Ten'ou and Kino. Dr. Mizuno will testify too." Taiki stroked Yaten's hair.
"I'm scared. I don't want to see him again."
"He'll be in the courtroom. But, he can't do anything to you."
"Promise?"
"Promise."

Seiya looked at his clock. It was close to midnight. He sighed and rubbed his eyes. He was sure they had a rock solid case against Mamoru Chiba. But, what puzzled him was, why did he do it? Why rape the same woman twice? He didn't even know her.
Shaking his head, Seiya returned to his work. But, before he got too deep, the phone rang.
"Hello?"
---
"No further questions your Honor."
"I have a question for the defendant." Seiya stood up.
"Go ahead."
Seiya walked into the middle of the courtroom. He looked thoughtful for a minute, and then turned his eyes to Mamoru. "Why?"
"Excuse me?"
"Why did you rape Yaten Kou twice?"
"Because I could."
"Wasn't there some ulterior motive? Some underlying reason? You didn't know Yaten Kou, so why did you rape her!"
Mamoru grinned. "To get to you."
"What?"
"Your wide, Usagi! She was once MY fiancée, but then you came along and stole her from me. I knew you were friends with Taiki Kou and the best way to get to you was through Taiki and the best way to get to Taiki was through Yaten!"
Seiya stared at Mamoru with wide eyes. "No further questions." He turned and walked back to his chair.
---
"Don't worry Yaten. Seiya is a great lawyer. He's also an excellent A.D.A."
"I know. I'm still scared."
"Miss Yaten Kou…"
Taiki kissed Yaten on the lips. "You'll do fine."
---
"Miss Kou, can you recall the events of the morning of August 17th, 2006 for the court?"
"Taiki had just left. We had gotten into a huge fight and I was upset. Someone knocked on the door…"
---
"No! No!" Yaten screamed and backed into a corner of the bedroom she scared with Taiki.
Mamoru grabbed her wrists and pulled her to her feet. "You want this. You know you do.'
"I don't! I don't!" she whimpered.
Mamoru threw her onto the bed. "Shut up!"
Yaten scrambled towards the door, trying to escape.
Grabbing her ankle, Mamoru grabbed her towards him.
"No! Stop it!"
---
"What happened after he tied to the bed?"
Tears were falling freely down Yaten's face now. "He… He proceeded to cut off my clothes. He then…" Her slender body began to tremble in fear, the memories rushing back to her. Whimpering, Yaten shut her eyes, blocking everyone but Taiki from the courtroom.
"What did he do after he cut off your clothes Miss Kou?" Seiya asked, feeling bad he was causing his friend's girlfriend to cry.
"He rapped me!"
Seiya nodded and looked down. "Thank you Miss Kou. No further questions." Seiya turned and walked back over to his seat.
Mamoru's attorney stood up. "No questions your Honor."
---
"Is it true that you had a fight with Yaten the morning she was rapped?'
"Yes." Taiki stared Mamoru's attorney in the eye.
"Did you hit her?"
"No. I thought about it, but I then stopped myself."
"Why?"
"Because I was taught that you should never hit a woman. No matter the circumstances." Taiki replied coolly.
"Did you push her that morning?"
"I did."
"Why?"
"I was angry with her, with myself. I had to get to work. She was clinging to me. I pushed her. I never meant to hurt her! I love her!"
"No further questions."
---
"Has the jury reached a verdict?"
"We have your Honor. We find the defendant, Mamoru Chiba, on the counts of rape in the first degree of Yaten Kou…"
