I don't own any of the Animes/Mangas here!!
------------------------------------
Chapter 9
Hotaru sighed dreamily as she twirled a strand of silky violet hair around her finger. She'd quickly gotten over the Relena incident, and was waiting for the girls to arrive. Heero hadn't talked to her at all so far, but she hadn't really noticed, being up in Cloud 9 half the time. sigh Heero was just soooo cute... she imagined herself in the Prussian eyed boy's arms, the two smiling at each other, and then they got clo-
"Hotaru??? HOTARU!!!!!!!!" A loud booming voice broke her fantasy, and the violet eyed girl's eyes flew open.
"The answer's A, no B, um, true?" She quickly yelled out, swinging her head left to right. Finally Hotaru noticed that Makoto, Rei, Ami and the others were standing there staring at her. She blushed and sheepishly said, "Hi guys….. "
"So who's the lucky guy?" Minako winked and walked around Hotaru, studying the girl. "Is it Jordan? Or Kyle? No, maybe it's-"
"W-What do you mean 'who's the lucky guy'??" The dark haired girl asked defensively. Rei smirked.
"Oh, you know what we mean………." All the scouts crowded around her and said in unison;
"You're in looovvvve!" Hotaru backed away and tried to keep a blush from creeping up her face with no avail.
"N-n-no I'm not!! Who said that?? Not me!" The dark haired girl turned away and starting running towards home, hoping to get away from them for at least a while, when Makoto launched herself at the girl and tackled her.
"You aren't going anywhere until you tell!!"
GW Boyz
Heero stiffly walked over to Duo and the other guys. Life sucked. He didn't know what made him want to hold Hotaru and stay by her side forever, but the Prussian eyed boy knew that wouldn't happen, since his father wished for him to marry Relena…. Life sucks.
"Hee-chan!!!! You're here!! You won't believe the rumors going around- they say that you kissed Hotaru Tomoe and that she's a witch or something, since everyone knows that you wouldn't date her (their words; not mine!) and that she brainwashed you into liking her, and-"
"Shut the fuck up." Heero told Duo, who immediately stopped talking and looked at his friend in confusion. "She's not a freak or a witch."
"0.0 WHAT???? If she's not a witch, then how come she made you kiss her??????" Duo gasped. "Is she a sorceress??" The Prussian eyed boy sent the braided pilot a glare.
"I'm just kidding!!!" the boy backed away and chuckled nervously. "Is she?"
"No." Heero gave Duo 'The Glare'. "Now shut up. I'm with Relena and that's final." It's what my father would want. He thought sadly.
----------------------------------------------
Back With Hotaru
----------------------------------------------
"Ok, ok! I'll tell damnit! Just let go of me!!" Hotaru glared at the brunette who'd pinned her to the soft green grass on the school grounds.
"So who is it??" Minako asked impatiently. "Tell us now!!" The violet eyed girl sighed and dusted some dirt off her blue jeans and tank top.
"Alright………. I….like Heero Yuy."

Stunned Silence
"Hello????????" Hotaru waved a hand in front of Makoto and Ami. "Ok, they're frozen. How about you?" She turned to Rei and smacked her on the head.
"OWW!! How come I was the one that had to get smacked????" The fiery priestess complained, rubbing her head. Hotaru smirked.
"Well, that works! smacks all the other girls out of their stupor Much better!!" Now everyone was rubbing their heads and glaring at the dark haired girl.
"It's not even our fault!" Usagi complained, munching on a cookie. "I mean, how the hell are you going to get Heero to even notice you??" Ami nodded.
"He's engaged to Relena as well, which makes it more complicated." She added in. "Why don't you pick someone easier to date?"
"Yeah, I mean, you pick the 'hard-to-get' boys, literally!" Makoto joined in. Hotaru glared at them playfully.
"Well, it's not my fault; I can't help it!!" She complained. "And besides, he tried to kiss me first!"

Stunned silence again
"Ok, I guess I'll have to smack you guys again…….." Hotaru smirked, when suddenly all of them snapped out of their stupor.
"No, don't hit!!! It hurts!!" The girls quickly said instantaneously. "But really, he tried to KISS YOU?????" The dark haired girl rolled her eyes.
"Yes, he did! Ok!?!? Now will you stop it?? He didn't really kiss me anyways………" She replied, looking down at the lush green grass by the old oak tree that they always hung out on.
"Who didn't kiss who?" A voice rang out. The scouts spun around to see Duo in the way back of the group of boys walking towards them. "Stay away from me, sorceress!" A flash of hurt went through Hotaru's eyes, but it passed and her violet orbs became almost emotionless. Almost everyone stood and went to pummel the cobalt eyed boy, but another person stepped up and stopped them.
"Duo!! I can't believe you said that to Hotaru! That's the cruelest thing I've ever heard from you." Minako abruptly tuned around and left in tears, blonde hair waving in the wind. The brown haired boy started running towards the blonde's disappearing form.
"Wait Minako! It was just a joke!!" Heero glanced at Hotaru, whose eyes were dull and sad. No, I can't do this…… I'm supposed to be with Relena…… He looked at Hotaru with a hint of pain and regret, but turned away and returned to his emotionless state
---------------------------------------
Minako and Duo
--------------------------------------
Minako sat on a bench, drying her tears. She still couldn't believe that she fell for Duo. He was such a jerk, insulting Hotaru like that!
"Minako! Are you ok?" The blonde turned to see Duo standing a few yards away from her, panting, but concerned. She turned away.
"What do you want?" The blonde asked. Duo ran over to her and sat down.
"Aw come on babe! It was just a joke, and I feel bad enough about it already! I didn't mean to say it; it just, just, slipped out!" He said softly. Minako turned, brilliant baby blue eyes shining with tears.
"Then why did you say it? Were you just trying to be cruel? You know that Hotaru's not a witch or sorceress, or anything! She was just born with a strange power, but that's it! And if you can't deal with that, then you aren't a friend of mine!" She yelled out, sobbing freely now. "She's been through so much, and you just go and insult her!" The cobalt eyed pilot looked stunned and helpless.
"Minako, I'm really sorry. I didn't know. I'm sorry." He looked down at the ground in shame, but something made him look up at the beautiful blonde goddess in front of him and hug her tightly into his muscular arms. "I really am sorry." He said again, voice muffled; face buried in her soft blue sweater. The blue eyed girl looked shocked, and she slowly brought her hand up to his arm and touched it, a tingle going up her spine.
"I-it's ok Duo. But will you say it to Hotaru please?" She replied softly, turning around and making him look up in surprise, her warm body out of his grasp. "I have to say something to you though-"But before the girl could finish, she felt a pair of soft lips on hers, full of feeling and tenderness.
"S-Sorry. But I just wanted to show you how I felt about you. I- I really like you, a lot, Minako." Duo gazed deeply into her eyes.
(AN: Wow, he must like her a lot, he's acting serious!! 0.0 Ok, back to the story.)
The blonde sat stunned, and stared at Duo.
"T-That's what I was going to tell you!" She answered. The brown haired pilot groaned.
"Aww hell! So I didn't have to even practice that mushy stuff! Uh, I mean…………." Minako glared at him playfully.
"What?? So that all wasn't real?? For that, you don't get another kiss from me!" The Goddess of Love turned and started walking towards the exit. "And plus, the others are probably worried about us………. Let's go!'
(Sorry, I forgot to mention that there's a park next to the school thet they're in!)
"Damn! Why did I have to say that?? Come on babe! Just one more kiss?" He looked at her with adorable puppy dog eyes and pouted slightly.
"Not until you apologize to Hotaru!" Minako said sternly. The great Shinigami's eyes lit up and he dashed out the park and towards the school. The girl sighed and smiling, she walked out the park as well and headed towards the old oak tree.
----------------------------------------------
Makoto and Trowa
----------------------------------------------
Makoto and Trowa were busy searching for Duo and Minako. They'd been on the hunt for those two for about thirty minutes and Makoto was getting restless. Trowa remained silent almost half the time, but she liked it that way, and blushed as she thought of the emerald eyed boy.
"Hey, Trowa?" The Amazonian girl asked tentatively. He nodded in acknowledgement and looked at her. "What do you like doing in your free time?" The boy momentarily felt surprised and quickly recovered. Not many people had asked him that before.
"Well, I like to train, work on the computer, read and be with my friends." He replied, looking at her; a faint blush on his cheeks, but Makoto didn't notice.
"Oh really? That's cool! I personally like to train myself, read, cook, and also be with my friends; they're the best!" She smiled and closed her eyes, inhaling the fresh air, when the brunette stumbled across a stone. She closed her eyes and braced herself for the fall, instinctively grabbing onto Trowa's arm- bringing him down with her, and their lips crashed down onto each other. The silent boy's eyes widened and he stiffened, but soon relaxed and kissed her back.
Makoto fell down onto the soft green grass, suddenly aware of Trowa's lips on hers. She immediately blushed; eyes widening a fraction, but the brown haired beauty quickly relaxed and reveled in the feeling of his soft tender lips on hers
Soon the kiss was over; (they have to breath!) and Makoto looked up at the emerald eyed boy on top of her, blushing and apologizing.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do that, it was an accident!!" She got up slowly. "It's totally my fault!" The Amazonian felt a cool hand on hers.
:"It's ok Mako. I just have to say, that I like you. A lot. And that kiss... Was great." The girl's eyes flew open, green orbs wide and surprised. She turned and noticed a faint blush on his tanned face and chuckled softly.
"So you don't hate me then?" She asked. The silent boy nodded nervously and she sighed in relief. "I-I like you as well!" Makoto could tell that he was relieved and she squeezed his hand, getting up. The couple walked on towards the oak tree. They could look for Duo and Minako later.
---------------------------------------------------
Wufei and Ami
----------------------------------------------------
Ami leaned on the tanned bark of the tree, Wufei next to her; meditating. She glanced at her textbook, sighing in boredom. During the past hour, she'd finished reading and doing all her homework, and even finished the novel she was reading; A Prayer for Owen Meany. Now the Sailor Scout didn't know what to do and started to walk over to Quatre and Rei; who were chatting about something, accidentally nudging Wufei in the process.
"Hey, what was that for!" The Chinese boy growled, his face softening when he found Ami standing in front of him, apologizing. "Don't worry, I don't mind too much…… just try being more careful when I'm meditating and don't disturb me ok?" The blue haired book worm could only nod; speechless. This couldn't be the boy that'd insulted her before, but it was. Ami and Wufei had been getting along quite well, and though Wufei just couldn't accept it; he found himself falling for the shy girl. Ami wouldn't admit it either, but she'd developed a small crush on the fighter as well.
"Y-Yeah, I'll try and be more careful. Sorry." The blue haired genius smiled and made her way towards the couple at the table. Wufei was left staring at the spot she'd just been in, and thinking about the girl who'd won his heart.
(AN: Wufei very OOC right now...)
---------------------------------------
Rei and Quatre
---------------------------------------
The fiery priestess was calming down now; it'd been awhile since she'd gotten this mad. The last time that happened, it was because some guy was being a pervert and tried to hit on her. It never happened again, luckily, because now she always went around with her friends and she'd also gotten a lot better at karate; she'd only been a beginner when that incident happened.
Quatre smiled at the priestess and thought about how wonderful she was. Rei was kind, smart, funny, and ambitious, though a bit stubborn and had a big temper. He couldn't believe that such a beautiful Tenshi like her would choose a guy like him, but it happened! Sure, she wasn't perfect, but she was good enough for him, and to the blonde, she WAS perfect, in everyway.
"Quatre?" Rei piped up. He looked at her.
"Yeah Rei? What's up? Is something wrong?" He asked her, baby blue eyes filled with concern.
"I just want to say thank you, for helping me with my temper. If you hadn't calmed me down; Duo would be dead by now!" She replied sincerely, snuggling into his strong arms, thinking about the day. Haruka and Michiru are at a race in the U.S., so we don't have to worry about them going crazy over the girls and I being late………. The hotheaded girl remembered. But I'm worried about Hotaru……. I wonder how she's feeling?
"Don't worry about anything Rei." Quatre said, as if he'd read her mind, and looked at the girl in his arms tenderly. "Nothing'll happen to her. She'll be fine, and I'm sure Duo will apologize to her soon... or else!" He kissed Rei on the lips softly. "Come on, let's go see what Ami's up to." She nodded at Quatre, and smiling, the two got up and headed towards Ami, when they spotted Makoto and Trowa together, talking and laughing, with their hands intertwined. Rei looked at the blonde boy next to her, and they both grinned.
-------------------------------------------
Heero and Hotaru (Mostly Hotaru)
-------------------------------------------
Heero trailed the violet eyed girl, making sure she didn't notice him. Hotaru was sitting on a bench near the pond with a blank look in her eyes, a single crystalline tear falling from her violet eyes and landing on the ground
'Duo's right; I'm nothing but some stupid girl who's a freak and sorceress. I probably ruined my chances of even being friends with Heero now…….. I'm so useless and pathetic. Hotaru thought miserably, twirling a blade of grass around her finger. She got up and continued walking until the girl heard a loud crackling sound behind her.
"What was that??" Hotaru thought wildly, fear rising up into her stomach, frozen in place. "Oh shit, please don't tell me it's what I think it is!! No, not now……. " The dark haired girl slowly turned around to see-
---------------------------
Ok, that's all finished!! I left you on a cliffy!! MWAHAHAHHA I'm so evil! Ok, maybe I'm not………… it wasn't much of a cliffy anyways, but oh well…. MWAHAHAHHAHA ok, I'm done. MWAHAHAHHAHA ok, all done now, I promise!!!
Hotaru: -- she's had coffee today….. But this is nothing; you should see her when she's gotten A LOT-this is only her first cup! If she gets any more- well let's just say that the whole world's in trouble after that!
