FRIGHT NIGHT

By Princess Destiny

Chapter Five

It had been an absolutely terrible night for Usagi and Mamoru. Not only because they'd been put through terror over a supposed 'killer' that had turned out to be their friends, but because there had been a real killer in the house and the police didn't want to believe them.

Being Halloween, so many prank calls had come into the Juuban Police Station that once they arrived, their manner was less than nice. After everyone had tried to explain all at once, the Policeman in charge, Sargent Hanada had asked Shingi to explain. Naturally, being the most adult male of the group, the Sargent wrongfully thought that Shingi was the most rational of them all. When Shingi revealed the prank, however, the police almost up and left right there and then...but for one thing.

Another Police Officer had been searching the house while Usagi and the others were being questioned, and she had found the butcher's knife in the children's bedroom. Suspecting that the stains on the handle were more than ketchup, she had immediately brought it down to her superior.

The entire mood of the questioning changed abruptly and to Usagi's astonishment; her and her friends were suddenly all suspects! They were bundled into a paddy wagon and taken to the station for further interrogation. Her parents were called in, as was Ami's mother and Rei's Grandfather. Poor Makoto had had to reveal that she lived alone.

Usagi yawned into her cup of chocolate and stared about the busy hall of the Police Station with bleary eyes. It was now morning, but she had no idea what time it was. Next to her, silent, were her mother and father, who looked lost. She didn't blame them in the least, but she wished that they'd stop with the injured air, as if it had been all her fault! She glared at her feet, vowing vengeance on her 'friends'.

A door opened down the hall and Mamoru emerged, looking harassed and exhausted. The blonde girl got to her feet and went to him quickly, before thinking. "Mamoru! What did they do to you?" she said in concern, stopping right in front of him and looking up into his tired blue eyes.

"I'm fine." he said gently, an arm going about her shoulders and hugging her close for a long moment.

"Young man! Just what do you think you're doing with my daughter?!" Kenji shouted, scaring his daughter and the guy hugging her.

"Don't do that!" Usagi shouted back at him, glaring over her shoulder. "Did it somehow escape your notice that Mamoru and I spent the night being scared silly?"

"Don't yell at your father that way, dear," Ikuko said disapprovingly. Then she smiled at Mamoru, noting how carefully he was cradling her daughter to his chest. "Mamoru, was it?"

"That's right, Mrs. Tsukino." Mamoru said, walking towards Usagi's parents with his arm still tight about her shoulder. He was very reluctant to have her parted from him, even in the safety of the Police Station. There was still a killer out there who had most likely seen their faces.

"Please call me, Ikuko," The blue-haired woman said warmly. "I understand that you protected, Usagi? You have my heartfelt gratitude."

"What did he touch?" Kenji demanded, jumping to his feet and stalking over to the taller man. "The lights were out! I know your type!"

"Daddy!" Usagi wailed in humiliation. "Mamoru was a perfect gentleman." Well, apart from the butt-pinching, the leg groping and the breast grabbing. She groaned.

"You can tell me, honey." Kenji said soothingly, reaching for her arm and pulling her from Mamoru's hold.

"Mom!" The blonde protested, pulling her arm free and dashing behind Mamoru.

"Now dear, leave them alone," Ikuko said firmly. "It's not like they're dating or anything."

Mamoru and Usagi's eyes widened as a thought crossed both their minds. Considering that they were Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Moon and their relationship had made an abrupt about-face, they might be dating soon!

The dark-haired upperclassman rubbed at his arm absently and Usagi leant around him to peer at the band-aid there. "Oh, they took your blood too?" she said curiously.

"Yeah," Mamoru grimaced. "For DNA purposes."

"They think we made it up?!" she cried. Then her eyes boggled. "Do they think we're the killer?" her heart began to thump uncomfortably in her chest.

"Of course not!" Mamoru said emphatically, trying to calm her. But of course, a voice behind him dispelled any relief Usagi had felt.

"Yes, of course we're suspects. By now, they would have discovered that the blood on the knife is human and they're looking to match any of our DNA to the epithelio's on the handle." Shingi said. He and his wife were arm in arm, looking utterly exhausted.

"Epi-what?" The blonde demanded, throwing herself against Mamoru and hugging his waist for comfort.

"Skin cells." Sargent Hanada said from behind Shingi, his brows lowered. "Honestly, I don't think any of the kids did it. However-" he looked significantly from Mamoru to Shingi. "You two and your wife and nephew are another matter." his frown deepened. "Especially since you seem to know so much about forensic's." he said pointedly to Shingi.

"I watch Discovery!" Shingi yelled in exasperation, looking to his wife for help. "Haven't you heard of Medical Detectives?"

"That's right." Hikaru said, nodding.

"Uh huh," The Policeman said sceptically. "So they do forensic's shows now, instead of animals?"

Shingi swore, then threw up his arms. "I give up..." Then his eyes brightened as he remembered something else. "CSI?"

"Crime Scene Investigators?" The man said sharply. "You know someone who works for us?"

"It's a TV Show! Don't you watch TV?!" Poor Shingi almost wailed, sounding remarkably like Usagi. The girls, Motoki and Mamoru all hid smiles.

"I have no time for TV," The Sargent said stiffly. "You can all go, but don't leave the country. Understand?" The Sargent said warningly, then walked back down the hall.

A minute later, Rei and her Grandfather, then Ami and her mother, an angry Makoto and Motoki emerged from separate rooms along the hall and walked down towards the Tsukino's. It went without saying that none of them mentioned the Sailor Senshi not Tuxedo Kamen at all.

"Home, Ami." her mother ordered, barely looking at any of the Senshi's friends or family.

Ami sighed and followed, waving forlornly to the others. She was muttering under her breath about having to hack into the police computer later to change the results of their blood tests. It wouldn't do to have the world find out they were housing reincarnated aliens from the moon!

"You have some explaining to do, grand-daughter." Grandpa said solemnly, nodding politely at everyone, then leading the way down the hall.

"Sorry guys." Rei said, then followed her grandparent, her head drooping. Oh, this was just wonderful. The prank had gone too far, and that was certain. And all to get Mamoru and Usagi together. Her purple eyes glanced at them sheepishly as the and her grandfather passed. At least one thing had gone right.

"This is going well," Makoto said dryly. She rubbed the back of her head. "I had to explain why I lived alone too." her green eyes shadowed. "I hope they don't call Child Services." That would be absolutely dreadful. It was bad enough that the cops had thrown her past delinquent record in her face. Since when did defending oneself in a fight amount to a future murderer? At least they had eventually been convinced that her age was on her side, if nothing else. The Juuban Ripper had been operating for ten years.

"Oh no!" Usagi said in horror. She had never thought that this possibility could arise.

"If they do, you can come and live with me." Mamoru offered on impulse. The look she gave him made him feel all warm inside.

"See? He's a nice guy!" Usagi said pointedly to her dad.

"Right," Kenji muttered darkly. All boys were trouble in his opinion. "Let's get out of here."

It was the next day and all the girls, Mamoru, Motoki and his family were gathered at the Shrine. They all sat on cushions around a low table, drinking tea and discussing the night before. Ami and Usagi had had the WORST time convincing their families to let them leave the house, but they had managed. It was Senshi duty, after all. Ami had explained it rationally to her mother that she could not be shut up-her School work would suffer for one. And Usagi...well, she just whined and wailed until her mother threw her out! They sat silent for a few minutes after Rei brought the tea and then Shingi got right to the point.

"We have to find the real killer. The Police think that either I or my wife, or Motoki or Mamoru are the Juuban Halloween Ripper." he said sombrely. He looked at the four young girls. "You guys are the Sailor Senshi, right? Can't you go to the police and tell them we aren't that scary guy who had the knife?"

"Do I look like a murderer to you?!" Motoki yelled in outrage. "I run an arcade and cafe for god's sake."

"Er-no," Usagi answered for the Senshi, blushing. "They would be really unlikely to take our word."

"Why is that?" Hikaru asked with interest.

"Well, let's just say we spent as much time escaping from the police after a Youma has attacked, as we do from the media." Makoto put delicately. A black scowl formed between her eyes. "I hate the police, in any case. They're going to be trouble over this, I can tell."

"I think we all know who is really going to be hunting this Ripper down." Mamoru had barely finished his sentence, when there were furious nods all round. It was unanimous. The Senshi and Tuxedo Kamen would be the ones to find the murderer. Not the Police. It was very personal, though the person was not a Youma or even from the Dark Kingdom at all.

"I can't believe he's been killing for ten years!" Makoto burst out angrily. "Are the Police just stupid or what?"

"Is that a trick question?" Mamoru said dryly, rolling his eyes.

"Now, now, Makoto," Ami soothed, blue eyes shadowed. "He's been killing a long time and he's very good."

"I think I like Mamoru's theory." Shingi said suddenly, scratching at his chin in a thoughtful manner.

Everyone looked at him blankly.

"You don't remember what you said to me when I chased you and Usagi into those bedrooms, Mamoru?" The man said, smiling slightly. "You said I worked in a Video Store."

The stared this time were incredulous. Wow, could it be that simple? Shingi was very smart, after-all, so maybe he had hit the nail on the head?

His wife looked at him worriedly. "Do you think that's it?" She swallowed, then a look of anger came into her eyes. "Do you know what this means? Some psycho was in our house! What if the kids had been there?"

"It's alright darling. We'll catch him. Until then, the children can go and stay with their grandmother." Shingo said soothingly, holding her hand.

"That can't be it! He works in a video store?" Usagi said, eyes wide. She nibbled on her bottom lip, distracting Mamoru for a moment, before he remembered how serious the conversation was.

"This is beyond freaky," Rei remarked hesitantly. She wondered if this was something she could consult The Great Fire about. Perhaps bringing her grandfather into the Senshi's secret would be a good idea also. Her grandpa had been one of the Rainbow Crystal carriers, after all. "We all go to the store a lot, right? Am I the only one?"

"Not at all." Ami shook her head, eyes a little wild. They didn't even have a clue about what this person looked like and only Usagi and Mamoru had actually heard his voice.

"I agree with Shingi," Mamoru shook his head. "The police must have thought of that a long time ago."

"Why?" Shingi said bluntly. "All they knew about this guy was that he liked to kill whole families and he cuts the power. He used some kind of tap into the phone lines, so that he could call, then make the lines go dead, but by the time the police arrive, the phones would have been working again-just like ours were."

"He's right," Rei said, leaning forward on her cushion, her purple eyes intent. "Our phone was working again. We checked it before we were going to use Shingi's cell phone." her fist thumped onto the table, shaking all the cups and spilling tea here and there on the surface. "The Police had no idea that this guy used a movie to kill by, until we told him! His victims wouldn't have been able to call the police."

"Are you saying that not one of these people had a cell phone?" Motoki said sceptically.

Rei and Shingi deflated as they thought that one over. "Oh." They said as one. Maybe the killer hadn't actually given them time to call. For all they knew, the people murdered had been completely different from the one the killer had tried on them.

"For that matter, how do we know this is his usual manner of killing?" Hikaru said slowly. "Ten years this person has been killing, right? Could it have possibly have been working for all this time?"

"A good question," Ami nodded. "But we have to assume this is what has been happening, for now. Until we get further evidence..." Her voice trailed off suggestively. A hacking into the police database would tell them a lot. The Senshi of Mercury was slightly reluctant to do this, however, since the Senshi were supposed to use their powers for good. Such an act would be considered criminal.

"Not that the Police would tell us." Hikaru said solemnly. "I'm just glad we were exonerated-sort of. They'll discover soon enough that we weren't involved." she breathed a sigh of relief. "Motoki dear, next time, please go to some other relative for help with romance, okay?" she said dryly.

Motoki blinked, then grinned. "But you're my only relatives! Come on, my sister would freak over this sort of thing."

"Darn." Hikaru said, smiling.

"Don't you dare!" Mamoru and Usagi bellowed at them, looking about the table with angry expressions.

"If you ever try that stunt again, I'll kill you!" Mamoru warned, eyes narrowed.

"And I'll Moon-dust you." Usagi added, crossing her arms.

Ami sighed and shook her head, wondering how she'd been pulled into this mess. She absently reached into her sub-space pocket for her Mercury Computer and then heard gasps. Her head jerked up to see Shingi, Hikaru and Motoki gaping at her.

"Where the hell did that thing come from?!" Motoki blurted out.

"A sub-space pocket." Mamoru said, rolling his eyes. The girls all stared at him and he rolled his eyes again. "Oh come on!" he told them sardonically. "I'm Tuxedo Kamen! You don't think I need one too?"

"How strange," Ami said, blinking. "I wonder if that means you're from the Moon Kingdom too."

"The what?" Mamoru said, blue eyes widening. The Moon Kingdom? The Princess of his dreams was standing on a balcony, with the Earth high in the sky behind her. Did that mean she was from the Moon? He looked at each of the girls, stunned. He'd never considered that they'd come from other planets! "You-you...you're aliens?!" he gasped in disbelief.

"Of course not, idiot!" Rei snapped at him. "We were reincarnated."

"But that's not to say that our blood will come up looking like human DNA," Ami said clinically. "I'm already working on a way to change whatever results they get, just in case."

"Wow, Ami," Her blonde friend exclaimed admirably. "You're so smart." She paused. "You think the blood will be weird?"

"I never thought of that one-and who knows what our powers do to us. Could a normal girl handle these powers?" Rei muttered under her breath, eyes wide.

"Oh," Mamoru said. Yes, that made much more sense. So, he must have been reincarnated too.

"Excuse me?!" Shingi said, eyes boggling. "Reincarnation? Moon Kingdom?!"

"Are you seriously telling us that you came from the moon?" Hikaru put in disbelievingly. "There's nothing there."

"Never mind!" The Senshi and Mamoru said hastily, not wishing to reveal their secrets to Motoki's family. There were just some things the rest of the world weren't meant to find out yet.

"You've been holding out on me!" Motoki accused Mamoru, pointing at him.

"So have you with this Halloween prank and getting Usagi and I together!" Mamoru accused back, also pointing a finger.

"Play nice." Hikaru said dryly, slapping her nephew's hand down.

Usagi grabbed Mamoru's arm and pulled it down, lacing her fingers through his under the table where no one could see. His hand tightened about hers and she smiled. At least one thing had come out of this mess. "Okay," she said softly. "You think our killer works in a video store?"

"Yeah." Shingi said, nodding.

"Let's assume that the Police did get a few calls from the victims on their cells before they died," Rei said, frowning and tapping her long nails on the table surface. "That still wouldn't have clued the Police in about the movies."

"That's right," Ami said, tapping away at her computer. She saw something move from the corner of her eye and looked up to see Shingi edging closer, his eyes eager. She hastily hid her computer under the table and glared. "Excuse me! This is a computer for Senshi business only!"

"Ami!" Motoki said in shocked tones.

"I know how high-tech your uncle is," The blue-haired girl said, still glaring. "And I don't want to see replicas of the Mercury Computer in stores!"

"I wouldn't do that!." Shingi protested, sinking back and looking a little sulky.

"They're not buying your act." his wife told him pointedly.

"Damn," he grinned at them sheepishly. "I can't help it!"

"What are you doing, Ami?" Makoto asked curiously, leaning over to peer at the computer under the table.

Ami brought it up and set it on the table, throwing a last warning look at Motoki's uncle. "I'm hacking into the Police database." she said calmly. The girl had decided that this was the only course open afterwards. They could all guess at the killer's motives and the past murders all they liked, but hard evidence was just a few clicks away.

"What?!" Everyone screamed at her.

"You could get us caught!" Shingi shouted, hands going to his hair to clutch at the strands in a harassed manner. "You think just anyone can walk in and look around?!"

"Sailor Mercury can," Ami said serenely. "I'm already in."

"What?!" Everyone shouted again, rushing around the table.

The blue-haired girl suddenly found herself surrounded and blushed. "Okay, here are the crime scene pictures." she murmured, clicking on one file.

Usagi covered her eyes quickly. "I don't want to see those!" she wailed plaintively. "They were almost us!"

"Eeeew!" Rei said, voice revolted.

"He's sure messy. All that blood everywhere. He likes his work," Makoto murmured knowledgably. Someone smacked her on the back of the head and she grinned sheepishly. "Sorry. I like my discovery channel as well!"

Ami clicked on another file and then other, until they reached the tenth murder. "This was last year on Halloween," she told them, frowning thoughtfully at the scene. "You can see how his technique improved over time."

"You sound admiring." Shingi questioned her, with raised brows.

"Oh no!" Ami said, flushing. "I'm just saying that it's obvious he's done this a lot." she frowned again, eyes darkening. "You know...killers escalate as they get the urge more and more. I find it hard to believe that the Ripper waited a whole year, every year, to kill a family."

There was silence as they all took it in.

"She's right, you know," Shingi nodded as knowledgeably as Makoto. "I watch this show called Medical Detectives and the killer almost always escalates. The urge to kill becomes more and more powerful and this guy didn't strike me as having iron control. He threw his knife away, after all, leaving it for the police to get a hold of."

"I wonder if he tripped?" Usagi said absently, hand still over her eyes.

Mamoru gaped at the blonde and then ripped her hand from her eyes, grinning. "That's brilliant, Odango!" he exclaimed.

"It was messy in the kid's room. I tell them to clean up every night, but I guess we were in a hurry to get them out this afternoon for the prank." Hikaru said, eyes widening.

"Do you think...?" Makoto trailed off, then chuckled. She turned to Rei. "Didn't you say the killer was swearing his head off when he came down the ladder and almost landed on you?"

"Yeah, he was." Rei yelled in excitement.

"He was." Usagi and Mamoru said together. They had also heard the swearing, but had assumed at the time, that it was due to having missed Usagi with the knife as he ran past them.

"The police think he ran out like that because he saw so many people in the house." Mamoru revealed.

"They told you that?" Shingi said, blinking at the dark-haired man. "They don't usually reveal stuff like that."

"I was concerned." Mamoru ground out. "I let them know, in no certain detail, that I was furious that he had tried to kill us. The Sargent told me that the killer had never targeted more than two parents and one or two children. The killer must have realised there were at least seven or eight people moving about the house and left quickly."

"And tried to kill me on the way!" Usagi said indignantly. Her blue eyes glared at the Mercury Computer, where Ami was presently bringing up case details. "I want this guy fried."

"Usagi!" The girls, Mamoru and Motoki gasped. The blonde girl was the gentlest person they knew!

"I'm sorry guys, but ten families-that's just disgusting. The poor people..." Usagi said in a revolted tone.

"This is going to take me all day and night," Ami told them absently, already speed-reading through the files. "If I'm right, then this guy also kills families between Halloween, but the Police don't seem to have realised it."

"You need sleep," Usagi said gently, the fury fading out of her. "I doubt he'd go out and kill another family this soon. The killer only tries once a year."

Ami's eyes met hers bleakly. "Do you really think so, Usagi?" she said, voice steely. "I think that we made him angry and that he'll be looking for the next person to hire that damned movie."

Everyone stared at her in horror. She was probably right.

Usagi's hand shook in Mamoru's and then her shoulders straightened and Sailor Moon took over. "How many Video Stores do we have in Juuban?" she demanded of Ami.

The blue-haired girl smiled slightly as she recognized her Leader's voice and then she began tapping away at the keyboard. "Six." she reported after a moment.

"Six?" Rei said in dismay.

"And how many copies do you think each store would have?" Mamoru asked, using his Tuxedo Kamen voice.

Motoki and his family blinked at Usagi and Mamoru is astonishment. It was like their personalities totally changed when they fell into their roles as super heroes. Motoki had honestly been having trouble believing the petite blonde was Sailor Moon, despite having seen her transform, but now he could!

"Perhaps two copies," Ami reported, thinking. "They are very old movies."

"So, we split up?" Makoto asked eagerly, looking at Usagi for guidance.

The other girls did the same and Mamoru as well as Motoki were surprised once again. The girls all fought and laughed and played, but when it came down to something important, they all looked to Odango Atama for her Leadership. It really was very sweet, Mamoru thought privately, smiling encouragingly at Usagi when she looked at him.

"I'm not sure," The blonde admitted, looking downcast. "I know that we can't go in the stores as the Senshi and I'm afraid that the Ripper has already seen Mamoru and I...maybe all of us."

They all blinked at her intelligent speech and then there were proud smiles all round.

"I think you're really growing up, Usagi." Rei told her friend, smiling.

"Thank you, Rei," Usagi smiled back, then it faded as she thought of something else. "We also can't hang around the stores all day or we'll be noticed and if we're on a roof across the way as the Senshi, we won't be able to tell who buys them."

"What if no one buys them? Halloween is over" Shingi murmured, eyes worried.

Ami bit her lip. "Then it's entirely possible he may change his MO and kill someone who doesn't buy the movie." she admitted.

"Then I say we give him someone," Usagi said abruptly, leaning forward. Her eyes were serious and intent. "I'll need you to hack into all six stores and find out who has the movies still. I doubt he'll return to Shingi and Hikaru's house, since the Police will be watching out for that" she paused thoughtfully, nibbling on her lower lip. "We'll need to watch all the houses that still have the Movies out and...we'll need someone to go and hire out any remaining copies under the same name for each store. Some address that we can stake out in safety,"

"You're scaring me," Rei said, eyes boggling at the blonde. "When did you start using your brain, Odango?"

"Rei!" Usagi screeched in outrage, glaring.

"So much for those two getting along." Motoki groaned, slapping his forehead.

"I think her strategy is amazing," Shingi said, grinning admirably at the girl. "You're quite the strategist for your age."

"Thank you," Usagi said, blushing and ducking her head.

Ami reluctantly shook her head. "I'm sorry, Usagi, but we don't have enough people to cover this operation. I've just hacked into the stores and there are nine copies out and three copies still in three different stores."

Everyone stared at her in acute horror and shock.

"We don't have enough people!" Mamoru said, flabeghasted.

"We may have some luck with one of the people who have a copy." The blue-haired Senshi of Mercury said slowly.

"Oh?" Makoto said in interest.

"Naru's mother hired it," Ami replied. She rubbed a hand through her hair nervously, then looked at Rei, Makoto and Usagi. "Naru's seen a lot. She went through all that with Nephlyte and even her mother was involved twice."

"Who's Nephlyte?" Hikaru and Shingo chorused in bewilderment.

"Are you suggesting we tell Naru?!" Usagi shrieked in disbelief. Naru would kill her if she found out that her friend had pretty much stopped talking to her for the last year because she was Sailor Moon. The red-hard girl would never forgive her for keeping such a secret from her! "She'll murder meeee!" she wailed.

"Odango!" Mamoru yelled, shaking their entwined hands jerkily to get her attention. "Don't you think that saving a family from being killed is much more important than your friend being angry at you?"

"Yeah." The blonde deflated.

"So much for super-thinker, Usagi." Rei snickered behind her hand. Her eyes were affectionate however.

Usagi glared balefully at her and then blew a raspberry. "Do we really need to?" she asked again, hopefully looking from friend to friend. The other Senshi all nodded furiously.

"Okay! That could work!" Ami said with excitement. "We'll get Naru's mother to hire the other three copies and draw the killer to her house."

"And what if he's in another video store than the one's she hires from?" Hikaru demanded. Everyone looked at Usagi when Ami shook her shoulders helplessly.

"Okay, so we split up." Usagi decided, nibbling again on her bottom lip. Did they really want to involve Naru and her mother with a killer? Doubts filled her mind, but she also could not come up with a better plan.

Mamoru found it quite distracting! "Okay, Naru will have four copies, which leaves eight more houses to cover," he mused, thinking hard. "It's pity there aren't more Senshi." he said wryly. He stared at the four girls. "There aren't more of you hiding anywhere, is there? You all appeared one by one."

"Not that we know of." Ami said, eyes widening. More Senshi? She would have to ask Luna about that one. She frowned, just realising they had forgotten something. The cat! "Umm, guys?"

"We'll have to deal with that," Rei said firmly. "We can't possibly bring in any of the other families or even the police on this plan."

"Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen should be at Naru's. She can get the guy with her Crescent Moon Wand." Makoto offered the idea viciously.

"Are you nuts?!" Usagi yelled at her. "The Moon Wand heals people!"

"Oh yeah." The brunette said sheepishly.

"Is there some reason I wasn't included in this meeting?!" An irritated female voice called out.

Everyone turned to see Luna there, panting. She glared about with her red eyes. "I go away for one day on Senshi business and you get involved with a killer? I had to overhear this from your parents, Usagi!"

"The cat just talked." Hikaru said, eyes wide as saucers.

"The cat talked!" Motoki, Mamoru, Hikaru and Shingi shouted, pointing at her.

"You're surprised?" Makoto said dryly, tossing her ponytail over her shoulder. "We're reincarnated aliens, who battle monsters to save the world from domination by another dimension."

When put like that, what could anyone say?
