A/N: Hey look! I have a crossover! I was so bored with writers block that I decided to write this, since it has been in my mind for such a long time because it's always Usagi a.k.a Serena always going to the DBZ dimension, so I decided to have poor Hotaru go and maybe find some romance ::Wink wink:: I'll bet you can't guess who the romance will be with! ^.~




Wish upon a Dream: The wish of a Dream

A young, teenage girl with pale, creamy skin and dark hair walked slowly down the street in Tokyo. Her uniform was made of a short skirt with two white lines around the waist, with an overall style stop, a blue shirt with puffy sleeves and a fold over neckline and a black piece of lace tied in a bow about her slender neck. Her blue socks went to her knees, and black mary-janes made click sounds and she walked down the crowed street. Her dark violet eyes followed the people walking, the ones that talked and laughed with wholeheartedness, without a care in the world. She had always been alone, expect when Chibi-usa had come to visit Usagi, but with her luck, the girl was from the future and had to go home to Serenity in Crystal Tokyo. She had aged from the twelve year old girl with health problems, she wasn't so weak anymore, although she still didn't get out much for her father had died from a heart attack just six months ago. She lives by herself, and her makeshift parents, Michiru and Haruka stop by every so often. She wanted what Usagi had, a brother, a child, a life partner, and many loyal friends. She wasn't popular in her school, even though she was fairly pleasant to look at, at the tender age of seventeen. Her hair hadn't been allowed to grow long, she always cut it just above her shoulders so that it swung around her and framed her thin face.

She stopped her walking and stared at a window that showed off many trinkets that shined in the mid afternoon sun. She had been unaware of the man behind her who ran right into her after she abruptly stopped, she dropped her book bag on the ground and stumbled.

"Watch it!" He growled at her before walking in the direction she had been going at an even faster pace. She thought nothing of it, as most people would act that way around her. Sighing she knelt and picked up her brown book bag, slung it around her shoulder and entered the shop.

The shop had many colorful blankets with intricate designs and stars, moons, and planets embroidered on it. It smelled of incense, the shiny things she saw in the window were glass, metal and gold embossed figurines of animals and other figures. She turned in a full circle, stared in awe at the bags, books, blankets, figurines, drums, traditional wood weapons and many other things that seemed to foreign for her to believe.

"May I help you?" An old man, who seemed to come out of no where, asked from behind a glass and wood counter. Hotaru turned and slightly smiled at the man, who smiled gingerly back, awaiting an answer.

"No, I was just looking, sir." She said, blushing slightly as the man chuckled and waved her over. She stepped around a few obstacles to get to him, but when she did, she saw his small, beady friendly eyes and twinkled, a small nose and a small mouth twisted in a smile.

"Child, there is much chaos in you. What have you been doing in your short life to have so many clashing auras surrounding you?" He asked, her mouth went slack as she stared at him, her eyes widening. Her hands clasped themselves to the straps on her book bag as she started to tremble.

"N-nothing sir, I need t-to go." She turned and hurriedly walked to the door. The man said nothing as she approached it, her hand touched the brass doorknob and she hesitated.

"I can help you, child," The man's voice carried through the small shop, Hotaru didn't move. Her breathing was ragged and she felt like a child again, when she would become weak and wouldn't be able to support herself. She knew she could know, she was just scared that this man could see something like that when she so rarely projected it to strangers, even though her look always seemed morose. "Your problems can be relieved with this."

Hotaru's curiosity got the better of her and she turned, the old man held within his hands a small glass ball. Taking a step closer, her hand fell away from the knob and her trembling ceased. It glinted in the sun, a few small rainbows of color were swept with it and away with it.

"Come child, it will not hurt you. It is a magikal crystal, it can grant a wish, see the future and tell the past. I was waiting for the perfect being to walk into this small shop, you seem to be that person. This crystal will only work for those you need it and want it in a person, non greedy way, it knows child, it knows." Hotaru had seemed to gain a few feet toward the man without herself really knowing it. Before she knew it, she was before the man, reaching toward the small crystal. She wanted to stop, she screamed at herself to stop moving, to just leave and forget it ever happened. But she couldn't, she couldn't stop, it was like an invisible force was pulling her toward the ball. "You'll know if you are the one, trust me, you'll know."

Her fingers brushed the side of the small round ball, suddenly a burst of light came from the side, enveloping her in the light purple rush. She pulled her hand back rather abruptly, the light rushed back inside the ball, disappearing, making the ball seem ordinary once again.

"Ah...child you are the one. You are the chosen one for this ball. All you need is to want it, to feel it's pull and it will react to you. When you aren't, it will seem like a simple, crystal ball and will not react to your touch." He handed the ball to her, she flinched and waited for the burst of light that never came. The man chuckled but said no more, turned he lifted a few pieces of paper and started to read them, seemingly ignoring Hotaru, who took it as a sign for her to leave, which she did.

Hotaru stuffed the small trinket into her book bag, she held her hand placed on the spot where it was located at the bottom of the bag. She walked with a faster pace toward her house, she passed many people who paid no attention to her, and people who only spared a glance.

Upon reaching her house, she rushed up to her room and dumped her bag out on her bed, the crystal fell and rolled a few times before stopping and glinting, the rainbow back again for a brief moment. Slowly, she picked it up, it did nothing, she pressed her face closer to it. It wasn't white as she had thought, it had many 'clouds' floating about in it. Suddenly she saw herself and Chibi-usa playing cards in her room, it changed to her father and her at a picnic when she was three, then her staring in a window with her summer hat on, her father with his hand on her shoulders, then it disappeared. She brushed at a tear, she barely had time to recuperate when it suddenly changed to her, looking at least a year older in a meadow with a young boy with spiky, black hair laughing and joking with her, then she saw herself in a different outfit, she seemed the same age as now, she was talking to two woman she couldn't see right, then it disappeared and the clouds were spinning faster.

"Why...?" She asked, she was about to throw the ball at the wall, it had shown her happy memories, and some that weren't even true, ones she wanted. The ball seemed to protest about the abuse, and it glowed slightly. Pausing, Hotaru glanced at it, a woman with almost white hair and blue eyes stared annoyingly at her.

"How dare you? I give you that and all you repay me is wanting to kill me?" The woman demanded, startled, Hotaru almost dropped the ball. Instead she set in back on the back, she knelt beside it, resting her arms on the edge of the bed, her chin sat on her knuckled as she stared right back at the woman.

"You're the crystal ball?" She asked, at the woman's nod, Hotaru became angry. "You show me things I can't have, and then you get angry with me for wanting to destroy the object?"

The angry declaration didn't seem to phase the woman, who rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "If you had been listening to the old man, you would have heard that I can grant wishes. I can give you the future, and show you the past. You only have to want it with humility."

"Of course I want it, but do I deserve it? I've never done anything right, except healing maybe. But I'm the Messiah of Death, aren't I supposed to kill?" Hotaru asked, she desperately wanted what the woman had shown her, but didn't know how to get it, or if this was really for her.

"Child, if you didn't deserve it, then I wouldn't have reacted to your touch. I know things child, I know. You are the Messiah of Death, you aren't meant only to kill, but are meant to heal the pure and kill the evil that represents harm to those who are pure. You are the sign of Death, you create fear in those who kill ruthlessly, and even provoke fear in those who don't, and those who just don't know what or who you are. Child, you deserve this more than anyone. Chose you wish and it shall be granted with care." The woman's face had softened, and Hotaru was sure that if she could touch her, the woman would reach out and pat her head.

"All I want is what Usagi has, friends, family, and a..lover." Hotaru's last word was spoken softly as she looked down at the carpet that lined her bedroom. The woman chuckled softly and smiled at Hotaru who blushed slightly and grinned back.

"It shall be granted, and child, have fun. I will always be with you, just call me!" The woman called as Hotaru's body flickered from the eye, but Hotaru herself saw swirls of light, and soon she fell on soft grass with a thud. Her clothes had changed also, she now wore the same black skin tight short dress with long sleeves and a high neck line, it fanned out after her waist to at least three inches above her knee, she wore black tights under that and a pair of black strappy shoes. Around her shoulders was a dark gray scarf that tied just above her left breast with a single white rose that seemed to meld the two sides together. She stood and looked around, she saw grassy fields with a few tree's that dotted the area, and mountains to the east.

"Great, I've landed in the middle of no where," She sighed, and started walking toward the mountain, where there was a mountain, there normally was a road with people. She had walked for at least thirty minutes before she stopped because she had heard yelling to her right. Bored, she decided to see, since that meant that there was a person there. She walked through a lot of brush and tall grass until she came to a clearing in the small forest she had wandered into. There was a tall man, wearing an orange and blue gi with small wrist bands, and black and orange shoes that the baggy gi pants folded into. His hair was spiked in an odd pattern and she seemed to be concentrating on something that was near her, just to her left. Looking, she caught a glance of another head of spiky hair, only smaller than the mans. Suddenly a small boy flew out from the brush and at the man, he wore the same type of outfit as the man, only his sleeves went all the way to his wrists. The two men met with a clash, sparks and yells could be heard and seen as Hotaru watched the men and the boy beat each other up. "Stop!"

The two men paused and at her with the same looks of confusion and shock at her. She then noticed how much the two looked alike and that they must be son and father.

"Who're you?" the boy asked, he had straightened himself and was now staring at her with his head cocked. The man chuckled with his hand behind his head.

"Don't be so rude Goten! Sorry miss...?" Goku asked, just realizing he didn't know this woman, and by the way his son was acting, neither did he. Hotaru raised a slender eyebrow at the two, they seemed unhurt and weren't mad at each other.

"My name is Tomoe Hotaru, and why were you fighting each other, you don't seem to be mad at each other," Her voice was soft, but confused, and the two guys looked at each other and promptly laughed, holding their sides.

"Oh, Hotaru we weren't fighting, we were sparring. See, we fight enemies that want to destroy or take over Chikyuu, me, my brother Gohan, my best friend Trunks and his dad, Vegeta, and my dad Goku, we all fight and spar and stuff. We're really strong!" Goten pronounced proudly puffing his chest out. Hotaru almost laughed, these men, only five of these men are able to save Chikyuu?

"Hotaru, where do you live? We could take you home if you want," Goku said, his face showed all innocence. Hotaru's blank face told him nothing as they both stared at her with a hope that she would at least answer them.

"I...don't live around here. I actually don't live here at all, I live somewhere else that neither of you two could reach, in fact I don't think I could reach it either." She mused mostly to herself, but the other two had heard her and both grinned.

"Hey, so you don't have a place to stay. That's all right! I'm sure Bulma would let you stay at her place since she's like the richest woman on Chikyuu," Goku said, he walked toward her and wrapped an arm about her waist, before she could protest he took off into the air, earning a slight gasp of surprise out of Hotaru. Looking down at the rushing ground, she felt like retching from the movement. But that was far from her mind, she was wondering how this man, and child(which was following at equal pace) could fly, only men from the Dark moon could fly. Soon enough, they landed by a large, dome building that had many windows and a few side attachments.

"This is Bulma's house!" Goten grabbed her hand and rushed into the house, pulling her along. She couldn't help but chuckle at the boy, she was glad for meeting the two men. They didn't treat her as weird, instead they treated her as a friend. Goten stopped so fast that Hotaru ran right into his back, they both went flying into the kitchen. When Hotaru got up, she saw three people staring at her as if she were purple and had grown wings.

"Goten...what are you doing?" A boy about the same age as Goten asked, he hard short purple hair and blue eyes, he wore a dark blue gi with no undershirt and a red sash, his boots were like Goku's, only instead of zipping up, they 'clicked', like roller blades, and they were blue and red. He now stared at both of them with wide eyes. The woman next to him had shoulder length blue hair, and blue eyes, she wore a plain pair of jeans and a light blue tank top, she was beautiful, and if Hotaru didn't know better, she'd say she was prettier than Usagi. The man that was standing with his hand on the faucet, had a scowl on his face and his dark hair was swept up and looked quite like a flame, he wore a pair of black pants and a black belt that had a gold buckle, his deep blood red tank top showed off his muscular chest and arms, and a pair of dark, biker type gloves with the fingers ripped off, his shoes were also black.

"Er...sorry Trunks, I just wanted to introduce you to Hotaru," Goten then pulled at her arm and smiled. Hotaru's cheeks burned as all of their attention was now directed toward her.

"Hi...my names Tomoe Hotaru," Hotaru said, her voice soft and she kept glancing down at Goten and when Goku entered, it flickered between the two.

"Kakkorot! What is the meaning of this?" Vegeta snarled, his eyes never straying from the fidgeting form of Hotaru, Goku grinned and laughed slightly, stepping father into the kitchen.

"What do you mean Vegeta? Hotaru hasn't a place to stay and since Bulma's got like tons and tons of rooms, why not let her stay here? It's not like you'll see her everyday anyway with the training schedule you have!" Goku said, laughing goodheartedly, Vegeta growled but said no more since it didn't matter what he said if Bulma decided to let the girl stay.

"Oh! Of course she can stay, Hotaru, are you hungry?" Bulma asked, reaching for a plate that still had all it's contents. Hotaru nodded and sat down next to the boy named Trunks, who smiled at her and then decided his attention was needed elsewhere, like his food.
