A/n: thank you everyone for your reviews. Sorry the last chapter was so short the next few will be longer.

"I don't think that any of your friends like me." Tsuki stated after a while, despite the thought of that strange voice from before.

"Well on the contrary the black moon did destroy the kingdom before." Haruka replied before adding "they'll get over it. Ami is always quizzical and as for Makoto she seems to like you."

Tsuki only rolled her eyes and sighed "yeah right."

However just as she said that the door slammed and the sound of small feet rushed upstairs.

"not again..." Haruka muttered, as she tired to get to her feet however Tsuki stopped her.

"Haruka...You shouldn't be moving around too much or using the stairs. Let me go talk to her okay?" she stated, her eyes pleading.

"Alright...but if she gets snippy don't feel bad...when she has a bad day everyone knows it." Haruka answered with a smile as Suki headed up the stairs.

Haruka chuckled as she watched her sister go, feeling badly for the girl who seemed to long for the approval of everyone.

Tsuki, what is your story? Why do you care about others so much?

She wondered as she leaned back against the couch and sighed. She wanted to help the younger girl.

Meanwhile Tsuki lightly knocked on the door that lead into Hotaru's bedroom.

"Can I come in?" the soldier of darkness called gingerly and to her surprise the young girl opened the door, tears painting her face.

"what?" Hotaru demanded softly as she walked back toward her bed, where she flopped face down against a pillow.

"what's wrong Hotaru-Chan?" she asked as she slowly approached the bed and sat down on the floor near the child.

"nothing."

Tsuki had heard those words all too often from her own mouth and sighed.

"did someone say something to you?" She questioned and the little girl looked up.

"Did Papa tell you?" she asked and Tsuki shook her head.

"no, but I can tell when someone has been hurt." the shadow senshi answered simply

"Was people mean to you too?" the young soldier of destruction questioned and the teen sighed.

"yes Hotaru...at my old school I wasn't very popular and my own family didn't care much about me." the shadow soldier admitted then added "but you know what? You can't let what people say get to you."

The violet eyed senshi looked up with surprise.

"really Tsuki-San?" the child asked earning another nod.

"yeah, people use to even beat me up." the teenager answered as she reached up to brush a strand of damp hair from the child's cheek.

"Auntie...what did you do about it?" the raven haired girl questioned and Tsuki sighed.

"I couldn't do much about it...I didn't have a family that was that concerned about things like that." she answered honestly, surprised when the little girl suddenly hugged her.

"you have us now!" Hotaru chimed, causing the fifteen year old to smile a bit.

"thanks kid...now cheer up will you? Just don't let what people say get to you." Tsuki replied, pulling away a bit.

"okay." the child stated softly before adding "do you think that I'm weird Auntie?"

Tsuki smiled lightly as she shook her head "No. you're not weird. Anyone who says that are just jealous." she answered calmly as she stood up, the little girl still in her arms.

The little girl glanced up then before putting her arms around the teens neck.

"really?" she repeated and Tsuki glared lightly.

"yes really, now stop worrying okay? Now lets go downstairs before Haruka comes up here." the older of the two answered, giving the child a light poke to the ribs to get her to laugh. When the little girl nodded Tsuki carried the child downstairs, earning a strange look from Haruka who was smiling a bit at the sight.

"I see that went well." the boyish teen stated with a smile as her sister sat beside of her and put the child down.

"she just had a rough day." Tsuki retorted nonchalantly, despite the questioning look that her sister was giving her.

However suddenly she felt the strange pull again as a voice rang through her mind again

"Why on earth did I let myself get talked into this? We've been walking pointlessly for hours! I would love to know just who the hell it is we're looking for."

"Papa? What's wrong with Auntie? Why does she have that symbol glowing?" Hotaru asked, causing Haruka to sigh.

"I don't know Hotaru but no one is in any danger." Haruka answered simply however then Tsuki chuckled.

"you're wrong there Haruka...I am going to beat the crap out of whoever the heck belongs to the voices I am hearing!" She stated, causing Haruka to smile.

The older girl could tell the annoyance in the younger teen however she also could tell that the teen wasn't exactly dangerous, not even in the slightest.

"I doubt that." the wind soldier stated with a smirk however the younger girl only glared at her before retorting

"oh really? Well you try hearing voices like this! If this keeps up I am going to go crazy!"

Just as she thought this however the strange voice stated again

"what in the heck is this feeling!? Who in the hell am I sensing?"

Tsuki growled as she closed her eyes, wishing away the sounds as she muttered a number of curses under her breath.
