�� Chapter1)
Hand of Sorrow

�� Shin sat in
the waiting room at the Hospital, nervously watching the clock.� He had been just been driving home, when he
had noticed someone fall on the side of the road.� He had found a girl with several bruises and
cuts and brought her here.� The problem,
he never got a name and she had seemed quite terrified.� He clearly remembered her opposed to going
back to where she came from.

�� Mister Mouri?�� A nurse
stepped into the room and Shin looked up.�
�You may come and see your cousin if you�d like now.�� The nurse said and Shin nodded.� He followed her down the hall, feeling
slightly bad since he had lied to the people here.� He had said that the girl was his cousin, Takiko, and the she hadn�t come home when she said she
would, so he went looking for her, and found her face down in the snow on the
side of the road.� Of course there was
some skepticism, and they wanted to ask the girl if this was true. Walking into
her room Shin shut the door behind him and glanced down at the beaten
girl.� She was looking away from him, and
seemed so fragile.

�� Hey, I�m
glad to see you�re up.� Look I kind of
told a small lie of who you are, since when I asked you in the car, you didn�t
seem to want to go back to your home.��
Shin said taking a seat near the bed.�
�You never did actually tell me your name.�� Shin said.�
Hotaru looked over at the man next to her bed and began to shutter at
his mere presents.� �Hey it�s okay, I
won�t hurt you I swear you can trust me.��
Shin smiled to the girl.

�� Tomoe
Ho� Hotaru.�� Hotaru choked out turning away from the guy
again.

�� Hotaru...�� Shin whispered back.� �Try to rest all right?� Maybe when you�re feeling better we can talk
okay?� �Shin smiled at her as he
stood.� �Look the doctors are going to
want to speak with you, okay.�� Shin�s
smile faded as he saw that the girl was unresponsive, and seemed very much like
she was broken.� He didn�t know what to
her, but he had decided that it was terrible.�
Shin left and let the doctor talk to Hotaru, of course he wasn�t
surprised when the doctor said she won�t talk to him.� Shin smiled when he saw Hotaru
hobbling out on a pair of crutches towards the waiting room.� The nurse next to Hotaru
was making sure she got the hang of the crutches.

�� Now when you get her home, please
make sure she eats something.�� The nurse
told Shin and he nodded.

�� Hey, ready to go?�� Shin asked with a smile being careful of what
he said.� Hotaru looked down at the
floor.� What choice did she have?� She was stranded, and couldn�t get very far
anyways.� Plus she doubted that they�d
let her leave by herself.� Finally Hotaru
hobbled over next to Shin, her heart pounding.�
Her hands clenched around the crutches turning her knuckles white.� Shin smiled at her and led her out to the
car.� He opened the door for her and
helped her in to the car.� The car ride
back to his place was very quiet with the radio being the only comfort.� Shin pulling into the drive way of his home
and like before helped Hotaru out, noting how she shook and cringe at physical
contact.

�� Make yourself at home okay.�� Shin smiled as he opened the front door to
his place.� Hotaru froze, they were at
his place and no one knew where she was.�
How could she let her self fall into this mess?� ~It�s not like you could�ve have gone back�
You�re too weak� Even weaker now.~� A dark voice whispered to her.

�� Hotaru?...
Hotaru, listen if you what maybe there�s a friend of yours I could call.� Do you have anyone�s number, or a name?�� Shin asked looking over at Hotaru.� He felt bad that he didn�t have anything for
her to change into.� Her clothes had
tears in them, and were barely holding together.

�� No�. I.. I
can�t�� Hotaru began to cry, her head
dropping down to her chest.� Shin walked
over and reached out a hand to comfort her and she tensed under his touch.� �Please� Please don�t�� I��
Hotaru began to sob.� If he wanted
to do anything she would be powerless.�
Shin looked at the girl horrified.

�� Hotaru� What happened?�� Shin asked shocked though he had an idea of
what happened just by looking at her.�
Hotaru couldn�t even answer she just collapsed, sobbing and mumbling.� Shin knelt down next to her but keep some
distance between them. ��It�s okay.� I swear nothing will happen to you while
you�re here.� You can trust me�� I know that�s a lot to ask of you right now,
but you can trust me.�� Shin said trying
to common her down, though it would be so much easier if contacted didn�t scare
her.� �I won�t make you go back,
okay?�� Shin asked standing up again, as
Hotaru nodded.� Shin picked up the
crutches and set them against the wall.�
Walking back to Hotaru he sighed as he picked her up feeling her go
tense then begin to fight.

�� NO!!! NO!� Don�t please!� Don�t!� I.. I beg you
don�t!!�� She screamed trying to push
away from him.

�� Ssshhh.� It�s
okay I�m just taking you up stairs.�� He
hushed her but it didn�t common her down at all.� Once he arrived at the spare bedroom he set
Hotaru down on the bed and backed away.�
Hotaru was shaking with fear her eyes glued to his face, waiting for an
evil look to cross his face.� �Try to
rest okay?�� Shin told her as he headed
for the door.

�� Once he was gone Hotaru broke down
yet again sobbing alone with her pain.�
All the unwanted memories began to surface, the laughter, the pain, the
insults, and of course the shame.� Her
nails clawed at her arms as she hugged herself in a futile attempt to ward off
the world.

�� Please� no more.�� She sobbed to herself wishing beyond all hope
that it would just stop.

�� Shin leaned against the wall trying
to figure out what to do.� It was clear
by the bruises and cuts that Hotaru had been beaten up, but from the way she
acted� He knew there was more.� He didn�t
know what to do how to begin to help her.�
She seemed so breakable, and it hurt him that she wouldn�t trust
him.� He knew it wasn�t his fault or
hers, but it still hurt.� After all he
was the ronin of trust, and was very used to people
just trusting him.� Heading back downstairs
he decided there were a few people he needed to call.� Picking up the phone Shin began to dial the
number of an old friend who might be able to help.

�� Hello, Nasutie
speaking.�

�� Nasutie,
it�s Shin� I�ve got a slight problem.�
It�s not me, but I think it might be best if you came over.�� Shin said.

�� I can come over tomorrow.� Is that soon enough?�� Nasutie asked.

�� Yeah, that should be fine.�� Shin smiled.�
�Bye Nasutie.��
He added as they hung up.� Sighing
heavily he sat down on the couch trying to figure out what to do.� Looking at the clock he sighed and guessed he
should get some sleep since he spent all last night and today at the
hospital.� Rubbing his eyes Shin got up
and headed into the kitchen deciding to prepare something to eat before going
to bed.

�� Hotaru had
finally calmed down and was looking around the room.� Though her tears had stopped the pain was
still there.� Gingerly she stepped off
the bed, she grabbed the crutches and hobbled over to
the door.� Poking her head out, she looked
around.� The cream walls were decorated
with pictures off both drawing and photography.�
She noticed that the photos seemed to have the same six people plus
Shin.� There was only one woman a kid and
the rest were guys.� Walking down the
hall she saw the bathroom to the right and the stairs leading down.� She could smell something cooking down there,
but she had never gone down stairs with crutches, and there was no doubt that
that man Shin would be down there.� She
was hungry but she was also scared.� She
didn�t know this man, and she had known them almost her entire life, at least
longer then she knew the Senshis.� Finally Hotaru
placed the crutches on the first step and began to try to get down.� She hadn�t even gotten to the fifth step
before she slipped and began to fall.�
She had hit at least one step before hitting something firm but
soft.� She began to shake and tense as
she felt herself being steady.

�� Are you alright?�� Shin asked picking up one of the crutches and
handing it to Hotaru, before going to fetch the
other.� �I guess you�ve never been on
crutches before.� It�s alright you get
the hang of it.�� Shin smiled to her as
he held out the other crutch.

�� Th.. Thank
you.�� Hotaru
choked out as she snatched the crutch and backed away from Shin.

�� Are you hungry?�� Shin asked as he began to head back to the
kitchen.

�� Yes�� Hotaru nodded and
cautiously followed him.� Shin sighed
feeling very sympathetic towards the young girl.� There were things he would need to find out
and he would have to see if anyone reported a Tomoe Hotaru
missing.� This was going to be rather
difficult.� He thought as he filled two
bowls with soup.� Setting one in front of
Hotaru he sat at the other end of the table to give
her space.� The two of them ate in
silence but this time it was less awkward. Not once though did Hotaru look up from her soup.� Once she was finished Shin walked over and
picked up her bowl and began washing it, along with his own.

�� So� How old are you Hotaru?�� Shin asked
looking over his shoulder to the girl.

�� Sixteen�� I was a junior at Juuban High School.�� Hotaru said
quietly. �Shin pausing and turned to look
at Hotaru.� Juuban was a good distance away from where they were.

�� Okay, well I think we�ll need to
contact your parents or a friend?� So you
can go home.�� Shin asked and Hotaru�s eyes shot up to his face.

�� NO!�
No I can�t.� I can�t go
back.�� Hotaru
said shaking her head.

�� Hotaru�
There�s not much I can do about that.� I
mean your family is probably looking for you.�

�� No�.� I haven�t lived with them for years.� I can�t go back.�� Hotaru said
beginning to shake with her shame and sorrow.

�� I��
Come on, Hotaru why don�t you go to bed.� We can talk in the morning okay?�� Shin asked still keeping his distance.� Hotaru grabbed the
crutches and began to make her way to the stairs very much aware that Shin was
following her.� �It�s okay I�m just going
to make sure you don�t fall.�� Shin
smiled to her and she carefully made her way up the stairs, though she had
slipped once she didn�t fall like last time. �Once Hotaru was back
in the room Shin had set her up with Shin walked back down stairs unsure of
what to do once again.� Turning on the TV
he watched the news for any missing person reports, but found none.� Maybe she hadn�t been gone to long� �He thought as he watched the news.

(In a dark
castle clearly not on Earth)

�� Master it is set.� The little princess of Saturn has been
broken.� Her heart aches and the new
power is feeding quietly.�� A dark young
voice sneered.

�� Fine but where is she?�� The master voice answered.

�� Uh� Well you see she�s�� A second deeper voice began.

�� You lost her didn�t you!�� The master
roared.� �Can�t even
capture a broken PRINCESS!� For
that you are of no used to me!�� The
master closed their hand and both of the servants fell to the ground
screaming.� Blood began to fall from
their eyes, and drip down from their ears and nose, as they both died.� �You weren�t even the ones who broke her.� Shadow Strike come
here.�� The master beckoned.

�� Yes master.�� He said as he kneeled before the master.

�� It was you who broke the princess wasn�t it?� Your
brutality was always one of a kind.�

�� Yes master.� I will find her soon too.� With her new power we could truly control
all, for none can fight the forces that give both life and death.�� He smirked.

�� Then you have a plan?�� The master smiled at the servant.

�� Of course.� The senshi believe
we have the young princess, so in the mean time we can search for her, and well
I know of some who can help.�� He smiled
and vanished.

((The next
Morning at Shin�s house))

�� Shin jumped
when he heard a knock at the door.�
Rubbing his eyes he realized he didn�t sleep at all.� He opened the door and let Nasutie in.

�� Hey Shin,
what�s wrong you look awful.�� Nasutie said placing a hand on his check.

�� It�s a
long story� Would you like some tea or coffee because I�m going to need some.�� Shin smiled.

�� Tea sounds
good� So what�s wrong Shin, you seem very distracted.�� Nasutie asked as
she sat down at the table.� Shin paused
then looked towards the stairs before taking a seat across from Nasutie.

�� To tell
you the truth, I�m very confused on what to do.�
Two days ago I found a girl walking on the side of the road.� She collapsed in the snow and wasn�t to
responsive till I lifted her up.� She
started screaming, and was begging to not be hurt.� I took her to the hospital but since she
wouldn�t talk with them, and was starting to talk to me they let me bring her
here, since I kind of told them she was my cousin.� But the thing is she was very avid about
saying she didn�t want to go back.� So
she�s been here with me for a day.� I
mean she only sixteen, but said that she�s been away from her family for quite
some time.�� Shin sighed.� �Then there�s the problem that she�s so jumpy
and well it�s clear she�s been abused and maybe more� And I don�t know what to
do.�� Shin sighed and let his head fall
into his hand.

�� Well,
first off I can see what I can find out on the computer and well we can see
where to go from there�. As for the abuse�. I�m not
sure Shin, I mean the only thing you really can do is reassure her you won�t
hurt her, and be patient.�� Nasutie told him with a comforting smile.

�� Thank you Nasutie.�� Shin
smiled weakly at her.� Standing up Shin
and Nasutie headed for the computer Shin had in the study
like room.�� Nasutie
sat at the computer and Shin leaned over watching her type away.� It was true that Hotura
was enrolled at Juuban High
school, but as for who was her guardian; it
seemed that a name was put down but no contact or appearances were made by
them.� Since that was the case it wasn�t
hard for Nasutie to sign Shin off as a friend of the
family.� Both of them looked up when they
heard the sound of someone coming down the stairs.

�� Nasutie stay here, I�ll be right back.�� Shin smiled and went to see Hotaru.� �Morning Hotaru, did you sleep well?�� Shin asked and Hotaru
nodded.� �Hotaru
I have my friend Nasutie over, if you want to come
meet her.�� Hotaru
paused and watched Shin carefully before nodding.� �Hotaru this is Nasutie, Nasutie this is Hotaru.�� Shin smiled
as he introduced the two girls.

�� Hello Hotaru.�� Nasutie waved then noticed the girl�s clothes.� �SHIN!�

�� What?!�� Shin looked
over at Nasutie alarmed as did Hotaru.

�� How could
you leave her in such clothes?� Don�t
worry Hotaru I�m going to take you out to the mall
today and we�ll get you any clothes that you want.�� Nasutie smiled to
the scared girl, which made Hotaru relax and smile
weakly back.� �All right Shin go start the car.�� Nasutie smiled.

�� What?� Why?��
Shin looked at Nasutie surprised.

�� You�re
coming with us.� You�re going to have to
get used to this if Hotaru is going to live
here.� You�ll have to take her out
shopping every so often.� And it�ll help Hotaru feel more comfortable around you.�� Nasutie explained
and Hotaru stare at the two of them.� Hotura smiled a
little at Nasutie�s concern of her well being, it was
nice to have someone watching out for her, like so few did.� �Plus who�s going to carry the bags if you
don�t come along?�� Nasutie
teased Shin, and Shin laughed getting the picture already.

�� Well come
on Hotaru, once Nasutie
gets an idea in her mind there�s no changing it, so it looks like we are off to
the mall.� I hope you don�t mind.�� Shin smiled to Hotaru
as he grabbed his jacket and an extra one.

�� I don�t
mind.�� Hotaru
answered speaking softly.� Looking at the
jacket Shin was holding out for her and cautiously took it from him.� Nasutie smiled and
walked beside Hotaru out to the car.

�� Now don�t
worry we�ll get you some nice clothes.�� Nasutie smiled at Hotaru and she
smiled back.

�� By the time
their trip to the mall was over Hotaru felt very
comfortable around Nasutie there was something about
her that was like Pluto.� She was smiling
more around Nasutie, but it usually didn�t last as
she remembered what happened to her.� She
still couldn�t force the horrible incident from her mind.� As they arrived back at Shin�s place Nasutie took Hotaru up stairs and
tucked her into bed.

�� Now if you
ever need me.� I�ve programmed my number
into that cell phone okay?�� Nasutie smiled as she set the cell phone they got Hotaru down on her new dresser.� Setting the several bags of mostly black
clothes down on the floor Nasutie smiled one last
time before leaving Hotaru alone in her new
room.� Looking around the room again Hotaru fell back onto the bed and cried.

((Down Stairs))

�� Well Shin,
I better go.� Try to get some sleep
tonight okay?�� Nasutie
gave hi a hug as he sat in the kitchen.

�� I�ll try�
Hey Nasutie could you tell the others that I�m going
to be taking care of Hotaru now?� That they can�t show up when they want
too.� I�ll be happy to explain to them-�

�� Of course
Shin.� I know they�ll understand.�� Nasutie smiled to
him and Shin smiled back weakly.

�� Standing up
he walked Nasutie to the door, and waved good
bye.� Rubbing his tired eyes he turned
and began to head up stairs.� He could
hear Hotaru crying from in her room.� Pausing outside the door he knocked gently on
the wood.

�� Hotaru?� Can I come in?�� Shin asked waiting for a response.

�� Just�
leave me alone.�� Hotaru
whispered into her pillow, barely loud enough for Shin to hear.� She didn�t want him in her new room, and she
was too tired to fight.� She listened to
his soft footsteps retreat down the hall before sleep over came her.

�� Sitting on
his bed Shin wondered what he should do about the situation.� Hotaru was hurt
badly, and showing her his kanji may gain him the trust he needed to help her
or it could scare her more.� Sighing
heavily Shin stood up and removed his clothes revealing the finely toned body
he had.� With only his boxers left he
climbed into bed and let exhaustion take over.

((Shin�s dream))

�� Shin woke
to the soft sound of a girl crying.�
Rubbing his eyes he could see a faint purple mist all around his
room.� Standing up he wondered if Hotaru was still crying.�
Shin grabbed his jeans and buttoned them up as he opened the door.� Confusion filled his head as he stared out at
what was a balcony and not his hallway.� It was then the crying changed to a desperate
scream.� Running towards the sound he saw
some monster huddling over someone, who he guessed was the girl.

�� Hey freak
show, leave her alone!�� Shin screamed
calling his sub-armor on and charge the monster only to have it vanish.� �Huh?��
Shin looked around for the monster but gasped when a small hand grabbed
his.� Looking down he saw a girl with
shoulder length black hair and violet eyes tearful eyes staring up at him.

�� Please�
Don�t leave me.� I�m not evil.� They�re wrong I�m not just the bringer of
silence.�� She cried desperately holding
on to his hand.

�� Shin just
stared down at her his sub-armor vanishing leaving him naked as he knelt before
her.� Taking her hand in his he smiled to
her and felt an odd power, and feeling swelling up inside him.

�� Don�t
worry.� I�m here now, and never again
will I leave you.� For with my life I
will always protect you.�� Shin wrapped
his arms around her and held her close.�
�For no matter what the price I will always protect you and punish any
one who aims to harm you.�

�� The girl
looked up at him her tears stopping.� She
rested her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck.� �What if it�s someone who says they�re on
your side?� Will you protect me from the Senshi who don�t understand?�

�� Of course.�� Was all
Shin could say.� He couldn�t deny her and
he wasn�t sure why, he wasn�t even sure what she meant by Senshi.

�� Bolting up
right Shin panted in his bed.� He was
confused by the dream but even more by the fade sensation of power.� What ever the power was it wasn�t that of
Torrent that was sure.
