Disclaimer: Me no own, so you no sue!

This is my second fic. My other one is on hiatus because I have lost all interest in it. Also, if you like poetry, please look at what I have written.

Full Summary: Hotaru has lost everything dear to her, so she decides that it's time to go home. But home is just the impression left on her. Her bro isn't all that mindful of her and the only person that even remotely notices her is Trowa. Heero and that others just think of her as a casualty, but what can you do when you can barely feel your heart beat?

Chapter #1

A girl with ebony hair was walking down the street. The ebony hair went down her back until it reached her knees, even though it was in a really high ponytail. Her hair shone in the sun as if it were the brightest thing on earth, yet the darkest at the same time. She had grown it out over the years, and it was even more beautiful than it was before. The young girls violet eyes seemed to hold a painful secret, yet no emotion in those large orbs. The violet of her eyes was dulled by a dark color forming in the middle of her eye.

"Hmmm…" wondered the girl, "I wonder why the girls wanted to see me? Usually they just ignore me." The girl was still in deep thought as she walked up the immeasurable height of stairs that led to the Hikawa Shrine. She had been called by the inner senshi. They said that they wanted to talk to her about her powers, if you could even call it that. Still though, they wouldn't want to talk about just that.

"What took you so long Hotaru!" yelled a girl with long violet-black hair. Her dark eyes were burning with an inner rage. It was Rei, but why was she transformed? Wait…something was definitely wrong here. Her senshi uniform still had the red trimming everywhere, but the body suit was black, along with her gloves.

"Let's just get this over with and kill her!" yelled a tall brunette. It was Mako! She was transformed too though…what was going on?

"What are you talking about, Makoto?" asked Hotaru as calmly as she could. She knew this was coming from the time that her foster parents died, but how could it be this soon? Her fate wasn't supposed to come until their ruler died, but what if…no…Usa-chan couldn't have turned on her, could she?

"We can no longer accept you as one of us. Your strengths are based on what we fight against. We can not accept that fact," replied a girl with short blue hair. Ami? Ami knew that she couldn't help her powers, but then why did she want to destroy her for what she had no control over. Wait. Control…that's it! They didn't think she could control her strengths.

"Whatever. I don't care any more. You only accepted me because Michiru, Setsuna, and Haruka thought of me as their child. I knew you never cared enough to truly be my friend." What Hotaru said, she knew was only partly true. She had thought that they were her friends before and ignored the fact that they always hurt her mentally and not physically as to make it unknown to the outers. They had only accepted her because of the outers, but she figured that they didn't like her after they died in the plane crash. The inner senshi would push her around or ignore her. Things had not been going her way for a long time, but that was about to change.

"Goodbye then," whispered the senshi of Saturn as she disappeared to the time gates. She wouldn't take it anymore, and if they wanted her dead, they would have to find her somewhere else. The only thing was, she didn't know where that somewhere else was.

"I know Setsuna isn't here with me," Hotaru whispered in the darkness of the gates, "But she did leave me a small gift."

Hotaru lifted the gift high in the air as it began to glow. It was a black keyshaped staff like the one Pluto held, but on the top there appeared to be the top of a glaive, but it had a black sphere in the center of the G shape. The intricate designs along the black handle gave it the appearance of a key and that was what it truly was. It would take her through the time gates, and to the world she was borne in, the world where her family was, the world that was her destiny.

Hotaru thrust the key into a small hole next to the gates, "Take me back to my brother, in the world of the machines!" As soon as she yelled that, a swirl of lavender mist swirled around her and pushed her into the gates. It shoved her and persuaded her by clumping around her legs, even though she needed no persuading. Anything was better than the world that she was living in.

Black swirls whirled around her as she passed by countless doors with different symbols on them. She finally reached the very last door at the end with the symbol of a black 16-shooter. She pushed the doors to the world open as she flew the through time and space. As soon as it began though, it stopped, but so did her reality. And that was when it hit her…she left the door open…

Anyway, Hotaru blacked out sooo…you will have to find out what happens next time.
