Feeling the rush of energy surging through her body, Hotaru thrust her hands forward. Inside of her body, she could feel the dark energy that filled her coming from the deep depths of her soul. Eyes narrowed, Hotaru stared down her opponent as she felt the energy start to take form around her body. Bright purple pulsating waves surrounded her, dull and hard to see at first but brightened in intensity soon after.
With the energy that boiled inside of her, she pushed the energy down into her arms as it formed in purple, flame like rings. As she continued to gather the awesome amount of energy, the color intensified yet darkened in color. "Saturn," she started, "Death.." Her palms opened as she thrust them once more at her opponent. "BLAST!" In one long, powerful blast, the energy flew from her hands towards her opponent.
Smiling, Hotaru turned around as it hit her opponent, a long scream of pure pain coming from them. The scream resounded throughout the arena and soon after the arena caretakers quickly rushed out. As cheers came up from the crowd, the caretakers swept up what remained of Hotaru's opponent and Hotaru glanced up at Prince Dimando and his princess Esmeraude. The look on their faces was none other than pure satisfaction.
Not having even broken a sweat, Hotaru left the arena and entered the palace, then disappeared into the long, dark hallways. Not even bothering to look where she was going, Hotaru continued her walk back toward her own quarters, the path memorized as if she was on a single track. She'd walked the hallways too many times that she could easily find her way around the palace with her amethyst eyes closed.
Right and left there were many doorways and hallways, but she continued down the current one she walked through, then turned a sharp right. From one hallway to the next she walked, taking another sharp right. Within minutes Hotaru had arrived at her living quarter's door. It loomed before her, black in color with the symbol of the Dark Moon etched into it. However, unlike the other doors, her's was unique. Within the center of the upside down crescent moon was the sign of Saturn, showing her alliance with the Dark Moon kingdom.
One hand reached out and she twisted the door knob, pushing the door open and she stepped inside. Softly she shut the door behind her and looked over her room for a moment before she proceeded to her closet. As she walked she undressed, clothing being tossed every which way until she was clad in her bra and panties. She pulled the door to her closet open and stepped into the large, walk-in closet.
She scanned the rows of clothing that were held inside before plucking out a pair of black leather pants, a black corset and a pair of knee high combat boots. Sighing as she dressed, she muttered to herself, "They really need to find me stronger opponents..." Once dressed, she plucked a black choker with a black crystal hanging from it from a jewelry box in her closet and clasped it around her neck, then stepped outside. With one foot she pushed the closet door closed and pushed some of her black hair away from her face and behind one ear.
Hotaru looked around the room with disinterest, the light in the room reflecting off the black crystal earrings that dangled from her ears. Deciding she didn't need anything else, she turned and left her living area, once more entering the dark hallways. She'd only just reached the hallway that lead back towards the arena when she heard footsteps behind her. Turning, her hand automatically formed into a fist and she raised her arm to strike the stalker, only to pause.
Purple orbs stared into the blue orbs of the stalker as he laughed. Prince Saffiru. "How many times must I tell you not to stalk me?" she asked, annoyance ringing clearly in her voice. Her arms crossed themselves beneath her breasts and she let her weight shift to one leg.
A rogueish grin formed on Saffiru's lips as he responded, "Only about, oh, let's see... Five hundred times within the past week, my little firefly." Hotaru rolled her eyes and she turned away from him to continue on towards the arena, however, once more, she was stoppd by the Prince.
