As we learn in the second cour of the first season of _Durarara!!_ , Niekawa
Haruna is the Saika-wielder primarily responsible for the slashing incidents
that have been plaguing Ikebukuro for a while.

In episode 17, when Anri reveals herself to be the true bearer of Saika,
Niekawa realizes that it must have been Anri that slashed and "infected" her
with Saika.

But, according to Shinra, Saika had been dormant for some five years prior -
starting when Anri took possession of Saika after her parents' death, and
ending presumably when the current series of slashing incidents began.

When did Anri slash Haruna? And why? I would think that if Anri had slashed
her during Saika's supposed period of dormancy, _somebody_ would have found
out about it, at least.
