Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Return ❯ Your son? ( Chapter 5 )

“You heard me. You have the job of pianist. As long as you work for it, I won't tell anyone your whereabouts.”

 

“Are you black mailing me?” Haruka shouted. “Not to mention, you're only a silly idol. How could you employ me? Stop being a baka.” She stood up from her seat. “I'm leaving now and don't forget your promise.”

 

“Hey.” He jumped from his sit and stood in front of her. “For your information, I own this record company. Strange, I was sure that every media announced the news when I bought it few years ago. How could you miss it?” Seiya frowned and sank into his thought.

 

Haruka rolled her eyes. `Yep, every media in Japan had the story, but I was in Thailand back then.'

 

“Anyway, you came here so that means you need a job. You do realize that it's high pay and with less working time?” `If you stay near, I will be able to convince you to meet them one day.' “And don't worry. I won't tell others about your existence. You have a hard fist and I don't want to be punched again.” `And there is no point if you aren't coming back willingly.'

 

Indeed, Seiya hit a point, yet he knew little about it. She had almost spent all of her saving's on the tickets and rent for the first month. She desperately needed a job. `Even if it hurts me to say it, he's right. I need this job. My savings are almost gone. I won't let Yuki starve nor sleep on the street. With this level of salary I surely won't have to worry about that. Maybe I could even move to somewhere better.' She sighed silently as she thought of her current apartment. Last night, she could hear her neighbors having sex. It was surely not a good place to raise a child, at all.

 

She titled her head and looked into Seiya's eyes. In her heart, she smirked. His eye had a dark bruise forming because of her punch earlier. `And it looks like he won't dare to tell anyone.' She groaned and said. “All right you win. I'll take this job. Demo if you tell anyone my whereabouts, I'll torture you until you wish you'd never set foot on my planet!” She said while giving him threatening look.

 

“Hai, I don't want another black eye and I also don't want to wear sunglass for the rest of my life.” He laughed weakly.

 

“By the way, pay me on weekly base. Also I won't work after 5pm.”

 

“Okay.” He said sweat dropping. `Who is the boss, you or me?'

 

“And.” She sighed and softened her facial feature. “I've changed my name. Call me Amara-san from now on.”

-Later that day-

 

Yuki came home from school; he was surprised to find out Haruka came home so early. “Tadaima. Papa, you're early!” He said happily.

 

“Hai, I found a job and came home straight afterward. How was your day?” Haruka called from the kitchen. She was preparing tea snakes for him.

 

“I've joined the school track team. They wanted me after I took part in a mini-race during lunchtime and I broke their 400m record.” He ran toward the kitchen and went puppy dog eyes as he saw pancakes.

 

“That's my boy.” She winked at him. “Wash your hands first.”

 

“Hai.” He nodded heavily and walked to the sink. “And I want to join the music club. I'll go and ask tomorrow. I don't like the School Orchestra. They just kept saying how successful they are.” Suddenly, a girl with violent hair rushed though his mind. “Also, I've a classmate with two surnames; Tenoh-Tomoe Hotaru.”

 

Haruka's heart skipped a beat on that name; everything suddenly stopped. `It can't be. Hime-chan should be 22 by now. It can't be.'

 

“She said Tomoe is her real father's surname and Tenoh is her foster father's surname. She likes both of them, so she uses both of them. Isn't that cute?” He said innocently while playing with the water.

 

“H-Hai.” That was all she managed to say. There were thousand of question running through her mind. The Hotaru that Yuki had mentioned was matching too well with her hime-chan. `I'll ask Seiya tomorrow.'

 

-------------------

 

-The Next Day-

 

Yuki opened the door of the music room and stepped inside. “Oh? Koneko-chan you're here.” He gave ChibiUsa an oh-so-famous smile which made her blushed instantly.

 

Hotaru stopped to playing her violin and lowing it down; instead of putting on her shoulder when he stepped in. “What do you want?” She asked with a mock angle smile.

 

“I wanna join the music club. Are you the members of it?”

 

“Hai.” ChibiUsa answered and nodded heavily. “Taru and I are the only ones now. If you join in, we'll have 3 members and will able to perform on the open day.” She smiled happily. As she remembered her teacher told her that they wouldn't be allowed to perform on stage at the open day unless they managed to get at least one more member in their club.

 

“Do you play any instrument?” Hotaru asked. `I hoped you don't. Then I will have a perfect reason to resist your apply.'

 

“I can play piano.” He walked towards the piano, sat in front of the black and white keys and putting his hands down; letting his fingers to dance on it.

 

“Gone with the wind.” Hotaru whispered and her eyes went wide. This song was written by Haruka and Hotaru was sure that no one apart from her papa knew the notes. “Who teaches you? How do you know it?” She was very excited. After ten years, it might be a trace from her papa.

 

Of course Yuki had learned it from Haruka. When he was living in Bangkok, he would sneak inside the pub on every weekend, before it opened. Then Haruka would place him on her lap and she taught him note by note. He had learned it by heart.

 

Yuki was a little scared by Hotaru's aggressive behavior. “My-my pa…”

 

Suddenly a loud scream came from the track field distracted them. They both looked outside form the window.

 

“Youma.”

 

----------------

 

Seiya started to record his new song and prepared for his live TV show. Not surprisingly our wind senshi was working with him today.

 

“Okay, everyone 15 minutes break.”

 

Haruka crossed her arms in front of her chest and marched over to Seiya.

 

Seiya saw her coming, narrowed his eyes and asked. “What do you want, Tenoh?”

 

“Taylor, its Amara Taylor. How many times do I have to tell you?” It was really hard for Haruka to speak, since it was difficult to yelling and whispering at the same time.

 

“A-ama-ra… Fuck. I know your real name. It's hard to call you in your freak name.” He snapped back while whispering.

 

“It's hard only because you're a baka.”

 

“I'm not a baka.” He protested.

 

“Then call me Amara.”

 

“Ar… Tomboy-san.”

 

“Nani?” That name made Haruka bristled. “No nick-name, we aren't even friends.”

 

`She dislikes that name, ne?' He smirked. “Is either Tomboy-san or Tenoh?”

 

“Amara.”

 

“Stop acting like a kid. I respect that you don't want to be called Tenoh. Can't you respect my choice the same, Tom-boy-san?” He smirked.

 

“Fine.” She said heavily. `I'm not here to argue.' “I want to ask, is Hotaru studying at Juban Primary?”

 

“Hai, and how do you know?”

 

“I've got my sources. Now tell me, she should be 22, but why she is…” `Yuki's classmate?'

 

“You mean why she is 9 years old now?” Seiya continued for her, though he didn't know why she stopped.

 

“Hai.”

 

“It's happened shortly after you have disappeared. Saturn and Mercury were facing a very strong youma. Ami told us that it had been a tough battle. They were nearly being killed. Then Saturn used her `Silence Glaive Surprise' to kill the youma, in order to protect Mercury. The consequence of using this attack is…”

 

“Turn back to infancy.” She interrupted. It felt like a knife had stabbed her in the heart directly, she wasn't there to protect her daughter. And even worse, she had missed her daughter's childhood once again. The first time, she didn't have a choice. Hime-chan grew over night because of thread from Galaxia. The Second time, Haruka just missed it, simply because she walked away. “How is she?”

 

“How could she be, without her papa?” He replied. `That should make her feel guilty.' “She misses you so much. Once she got back her previous memories. She changed her surname into Tenoh, instantly. She's anxious about you. Don't you want to be with her, to be a good papa?”

 

Haruka didn't respond, only chewing on her bottom lip.

 

“It's not too late now. She is only nine. Just go back and be with her…”

 

Suddenly her phone rang and interrupted their little chat. The blonde took out her cell and said. “Amara's speaking.”

 

Seiya didn't know what was going on. He only knew the tomboy dropped her cell phone, her hands were trembling, her eyes went wide and she had a shocked look on her face. He shook her shoulder and asked. “Tomboy-san, Daijoubu-Dasuka?”

 

“Yu-yuki, he is…” She hesitated, her voice was shuddered. “I've to go now.” She turned around and wanted to leave.

 

However Seiya grabbed her arm and held her back. “What's happening?” He concerned.

 

“Fuck off!” She shook away his hand and screamed. “Let me go. My son is in the hospital and I need to go now.” She had totally lost control. Her son was in hospital and all she wanted was to be with him as soon as possible. She had lost everything in her life; her lover, her master, her dignity. Yuki was all she left. That little boy helped her, giving her a reason to live all these years. Otherwise she would commit suicide long time ago. She would rather die if anything happened to him.

 

“You have a son?” He asked while raising an eyebrow. `When had Haruka started liking guys?' He went wide eyes. The news had surprised him. Sub-consciously, he had loosened his grab.
