Gohan and Usagi were riding in the car while Hotaru was in the back seat and as usual wondering her thoughts not caring, Gohan and Usagi were worried about her.

"I just don't understand what's wrong with her; she has never smiled her entire life even as a baby." Gohan said turning the steering wheel.

Usagi took a deep breath.

"Maybe this Christmas things will change; I just wish I could see Hotaru smile for once." She said looking down.

They arrived at Capsule Corp which was rebuilt as their new home so it wasn't really Capsule Corp anymore since the last people who owned it as well as the animals, the friends, and the family were all dead. Gohan and Usagi picked up the bags and stuff they bought from the trunk of the car and headed in. Gohan focused his ki and unlocked the door which got Usagi so mad she slapped him upside the head.

"How many times do I have to tell you to quit using your energy and act civilized?" she yelled.

"Hey come on, I was just having fun gosh! You don't have to get mad geez!"

They put the food in the kitchen and went upstairs to wrap the presents. Hotaru sat on the couch watching T.V. to clear her mind. She flipped the channels until she saw Naruto (I watch Naruto but I hate the fanboys for saying they could beat DBZ characters which would never happen.) she saw the scene when Naruto tried to stop Sasuke.

"Sasuke don't you get it, Orochimaru just wants to use your body like a vessel! After that you'll be nothing just gone for good!" said the blond haired kid with orange clothing.

"I don't care, I desire power and there's nothing you can do about it Naruto." Said the boy in the dark blue wear. (Okay I forgot what they said in that scene, give me a break people!)

"Kind of reminds you of us don't you think." Said the dark haired woman next to Hotaru. Hotaru stared at her in fear; she trembled a bit but had enough courage to call out for her parents.

"Mom…….Dad….. The dark woman at the mall is here!!!" but when she turned back she was gone. Usagi and Gohan rushed downstairs help their daughter but all they saw as nothing. Gohan and Usagi were confused of the situation; Gohan put his hand on Hotarus shoulder for he was worried about his only child.

"Hotaru what's going on?" Hotaru didn't feel like telling them she saw a scary woman, she didn't want to worry them so she decided to make up an excuse.

"I think it was just another bad dream again, I'm sorry I'll try to stop screaming about it."

"Alright." Gohan patted her back and went to Usagi, he gently grabbed her arm then walked back upstairs.

"I'm really worried about her, she's been acting even stranger than before ever since we went to the mall." said Usagi.

"Don't worry, things will turn up."

Hotaru continued to watch T.V. while her parents continued to wrap the presents.

Later that night everybody was asleep, Gohan and Usagi were in the same room sleeping peacefully in each other's arms, Hotaru was in her own room away from her parents; she was deep asleep in her bed and was dreaming. In her dream she saw everything so peaceful, the sun was shining, the grass was nicely green, trees had birds that were chirping, kids were having fun with their parents while playing at the lake skipping rocks, everything was fine except things were about to change into something dark and scary. The sun that was once shining bright yellow exploded and redness covered the sky, the lake had dried up all of a sudden, the green grass had turned tan meaning they no longer had life in them, the leaves of the trees fell off as the trees themselves began dying and the birds that were once singing died just like that while in their nests the eggs fell to the ground and cracked; chick fetuses were all that came out, and the screams of the children and their parents can be heard as their flesh was reduced to nothing but skeletons. Hotarus dream had turned into a nightmare she could only look in fear before screaming.

Hotaru woke up with sweat all around her face. She breath slowly trying to pant some air back in and relaxed when she figured it was just a dream. Just when she thought she was safe the woman once again made her appearance right in front of Hotaru. Hotaru Shivered in fear but she decided to be brave for once and ask.

"Why are you here, what do you want?"

The woman smiled and placed her hand on Hotaru. "Don't worry my dear, I'll never hurt you."

Hotaru calmed down and decided to listen to the lady. "My name is Mistress 9 and I'm here to help you." Hotaru was confused so she asked her.

"About what?"

"Don't you recognize me, I'm part of you." Hotaru got even more confused but for some reason believed her words were somehow true.

"I've been a part of you your whole life even when you weren't born yet, in fact I use to be alive but died and now I'm in you."

"But I asked you what do you want to help me on?" Mistress 9 pulled back her black hair and continued.

"Actually I need your help, have you ever heard of Ginzushou?"

Hotaru indeed knew what it was; her mother had it.

"Yes I do, my mother has it around her neck."

"That's great, now all I need you to do is get it for me and use it so that you could become me and I'll be reborn because right now I only live in you as a spirit but I still have some physical characteristics."

Hotaru was frightened "What will happen to me?"

"You will cease to exist and I'll be more powerful than ever, and then I'll summon Pharoah 90 to bring the apocalypse to the Earth." Hotaru got angered at what she said.

"Why would I want to end my existence so that you and whoever that other guy is could end the world?"

Mistress 9 sat beside her on her bed.

"Because you were never born to be a real child, just a weapon of Evil and Pharoah 90 is not a guy but rather an entity that could consume an entire planet and bring darkness to it."

Hotaru gasped "Weapon of Evil?"

"Yes, have you ever wondered why every animal in the world fears you and tries to attack you? That's because they know your evil, they see me inside of you, and they know you're not an ordinary girl; you were born to be a tool instead of the life of a real girl."

"But I still have my parents."

Mistress 9 smiled as she was about to come up with some evil scheme up her sleeve. "Has your dad ever told you once about his parents?" Hotaru thought about it then realized.

"No."

"Then here's something you should know, It was his fault his dad died and he was the one who killed his own mother and as for your mother, well…. She stole your father from me even when she already had a lover."

Hotaru gasped, she couldn't believe her parents were like that.

Mistress 9 got up "You still think your parents are good people? Well think again." With that she disappeared leaving Hotaru to think about what of her parents and wondered if she would go through using the Ginzushou to revive her.
