After super everyone got a shower, got comfortable and relaxed in the living room. Quatre thought that it would be nice and something different if they all agreed on a movie to watch. Though it was going to be a challenge to find a movie that they all liked. He had a variety of movies. Everything from live action to animated to 3D to...well let's just say he had his own private collection. So While most of the people in the group were deciding on a movie, that was also child approved, considering how Sora's granddaughter was there at a the age of... well a young age. Hoshi was talking to Lilith about what was going on in that demention. Lilith shook her head and understood. It would seem that Lilith picked a good time to 'ditch' the Guardian Dimention and visit Hoshi. It would seem also that it would be getting a bit exciting and interesting around here as well. Lilith thought it was so cute that Hoshi found someone that liked her and vis versa. She just couldn't help teasing the easily to teas Guardian. So while the two girls talked about Guardian business and what not the other's were busy picking out a movie but they had come to a conclusion that it was between two movies. Those two movies were "Kung Fu Panda" it was both action packed and a comedy, plus it was kid friendly and a family movie too. The other movie the couldn't decide on was "Princess Mononkee" . Duo turned to Hoshi and whisled. Hoshi turend towards the whistle. "Yes?"
Duo smiled and held up two movies. "Which one would you girls like to watch?"
Lilith put her forefinger to her chin in thought. "Hmm...it's between Kung Fu Panda and Princess MononKee. Though choices. Both great movies and made well. Plus they both have a lot of action."
"Why is action imporatant?" Quatre asked blinking.
Lilith whirled around and got in his face...but with a smile."
Heero twiched. Someone getting that close his man without him knowing that person very well. Not a good idea. Litlith was lucky that Heero was trying to be good and control his...tringer happy hands.
Lilith tisk, tisked Quatre. "Action is everything. If the movies lacks action then I don't want to see it." and she shook her head crossing her arms.
Hoshi just sweatdropped and said while doing so. "Isn't that a bit...judgemental Lilith?"
Lilith shook her head. "Nope. I just like what I like is all."
Hoshi just smiled and respect her friends taste in movies and what she liked and didn't like.
Duo waved the movies in the girls faces. "So what will it be girls."
Hoshi said as she picked up "Princess Mononkee. "I don't know if this is kid friendly. Well for Kiki anyways. I mean she is young." just as she finished that sentence the little girl walked up to the movie box.
"I've seen this movie before. It's really good and I love the big wolves in it too." and she giggled while everyone sweatdropped. The movie did afterall have parts in it with someone's arm being cut off and flying throug the air and blood splatering here and there. So they naturally didn't think the little girl would like something...that grewsome. But alas they were wrong.
Hoshi quickly snatched "Kung Fu Panda." out of Duo's hand. "I don't know about the rest of you. But I would like to see this one." and she waved "Kung Fu Panda" in her hands.
"But-" Started Sora but Hoshi cut in. "I know what your going to say and it isn't because of Kiki, I swear. I'm just in a comedy mood and I love this movie and it's just soo funny. So enough chat and let's start the movie. Any objections?" she looked around at everyone. No one said anything.
Heero spoke up as he went to the love seat and sat down motioning Quatre to follow. "Pop it in." and after that nothing else was said while everyone found a seat they were comfortable with. Just before the dvd started in general Sky spoke up. "Wait!" he shouted. Everyone looked at him worried. What was wrong now?
"...We need popcorn and snacks. It's a movie after all. Can't have a movie without popcorn and snacks." he flew over to Quatre and landed on his knee. "Do you have any sweet snacks Quatre?"
Quatre laughed. "Of course I do. Let's go get some snacks. Hoshi Lilith Come with me?"
"Coming!" Hoshi said as she got up but not before giving Duo a quick peck to the check.
Lilith slugishly got up mumbling. "I don't know why I have to go."
Hoshi smiled and said as she pasted Lilith by. "Because we are going to need lots of snacks between Sky and Duo."
Duo heard this and yelled. "Hey!"
Hoshi poped her head around the corned before heading to the kitchen. "It's true D."
Duo shrugged and settled back down into the bigger couch. "Yeah. You're right."
In the kitchen Quatre was busy poping some bags of popcorn. Why have one microwave when you had room for two or three? So he was poping two bags at a time. Lilith was just sitting on the island counter swinging her legs back and forth. Hoshi was finding some sweet snacks for Sky who was helping her out by pointing to the one's he wanted, then changing his mind then wanting it again.
Quatre turned from the poping popcorn and faced Hoshi when she placed a arm full of sweet snacks in a basket that they were going to be using to hold all the prepackage snacks. "So what are you going to do about him?"
Hoshi blinked at Quatre, confused at the question. "About...who?" she aksed.
Lilith sighed. "Jezz girl. About the boy! About your Duo!" and jumped off the island counter.
"What do you mean my Duo. He isn't mine. He is just...Duo." she shrugged.
"Well you love him, right?" she asked getting a bit closer to Hoshi's face.
"Yes...what is your point?"
Quatre came up and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Our point is that what will you do when you have to leave here. You said so yourslef that you'll have to leave once you finish what you came here to do."
Hoshi hung her head. "I will leave. I can't stay. And I can't take Duo with me. I'll just spend as much time with him, and the rest of you as I can and thats all I can do."
Lilith sighed. "So dramaic. I swear." and hopped back on the island.
"Well excuse me." Hoshi huffed out and went to find some snacks she wanted.
Quatre came up to her from her back. "You know he'll be heartbroken when you leave. He knows you have to go but he's just prentending it'll never happen."
Hoshi sighed and brough what she found down to the counter in front of her and hung her head a bit. "I know. And believe me, I don't want to hurt him but...everything happend so fast and...I'll do the best I can to be with him and protect him while I'm here." and she left to put what she had found for herself in the basket. She took the basket and carried it in the living room.
Lilith came up to Quatre. "Is is ever boaring around here?" she asked as she watched Hoshi leave the kitchen.
"I'm afraid not." he went back to poping a few more bags of popcorn and got up two big bowls for the popcorn.
When Hoshi got in the living room she as gently as she could with out wanting to just dropp the basket, placed it in the middle of the group, in the middle as she could get. She then walked over to Duo and sat down, as if something was bothering her. Duo noticed this and put his arm around her shoulders and sat up and hugged her to him. "Is everything okay, Hoshiku?" he asked using her nickname only he used.
"Yeah." she said, sad and thinking about, or trying not to think about how much she was going to hurt him.
"You're lieing. Tell me the truth." he said taking her chin and making her look at him.
She didn't look up at first and then she did, with her eyes closed. She had tears on the brick of falling. When she opened her eyes the tears fell quickly down her cheeks and off her chin, landing on Duo's hand.
"Something is bothering you, if your crying. What is it? You can tell me." and he kissed her forehead. Which made her cry even more and he held her close to his heart.
"Shh. Talk to me."
"...I don't want to leave you. But I will have to...when I'm done here. I...don't want to hurt you either." she buried her face in his shirt.
"Is that all? Come on. you know that we'll see each other again. Plus you're not even done yet, so don't even think about that-" he lifted her face to his again. "-okay?"
The only thing she could at the time was nod her head. She didn't trust her voice, not yet.
"That's better." he held her tight and snuggled against him. "To be honest...I'll be sad when you leave, and miss you, but you won't hurt me. I love you and nothing will change that."
She just sighed and smiled. The tears coming to a end and her happy mood coming back. That's right, he loved her and will always love her. They will be apart, but their have each other's love with them. Plus she could write him letters too.
Just as the thought left her mind Quatre, Lilith and Sky came back with more snacks including popcorn. "We have the snacks." Quatre smiled.
"And now we can start the movie." Sky continued.
"It's movie time!" Lilith excitedly said as she popped a squat on the big comfty armed chair.
Quatre unpaused the movie and after it went through all the copy rights and all the legal things all movies go through he hit play on the main menu and the movie started.
Hoshi just loved this movie. For reasons other than the character design and how funny it was. It was about going for what you wanted. About reaching for something that you loved to do and wanted to do more than anything in the world. It meant that no matter what don't give up on what you wanted to do in life. And for Po it was Kung Fu. She loved his character, so amusing yet so heart felt and at times he had hard ships, that was what was in life at times, hardships, and this movie was perfect for someone who was having a hard time in life, have one obstickle after another. Sky loved this movie as much as Hoshi did and the little guy looked up to Po. Twenty more minutes found almost everyone laughing and hopeing for the best for the main character. When Duo would laugh at the main character Hoshi would look up at him and she would remember the things she had sacrifice and the things she had to do to keep other's safe and those she loved protected. This was what she wanted to keep protected and safe. Times like these, where friends and loved ones shared fun and good memories of just enjoying each other's company and the things they did together. About ten, twenty minutes until the end of the movie had Sky all excited and worried. Hoshi and Duo just shook their head.
"Come on Po!! You can do this!! Hiya!" Sky yelled as he tried to do his best kung fu kick in mid air.
"Sky." Hoshi said and shook her head and brough the little wolf down and let him do his Kung Fu movements on her knee. Duo just laughed at the little guy.
Things were getting bad for Po, and he was scared. He didn't want to do what he had to do. At times we all get scared in life, and we all at times don't want to amit it and other's do. Po amited that he was scared the bad guy, he amitted to the other's he couldn't do it. The thing was, he could do it. He could save the day and with the help of his new friends he could save the day and help bring peace to his new master. He could do this. He could be a Kung Fu Panda. Hoshi just was amazed with this movie and with the ending nearing more and more she just wanted to get up and dance the the song "Everyone Was Kung Fu Fighting" she just loved that song and everytime she heard it she had to dance to it. She knew what she had to do once the movie was over with. She looked up at Duo and smiled wide.
Duo looked down at Hoshi and the Huge smile she had on her face. "What are you planning, you little sneak." he smiled.
"Oh nothing big. Something fun. And I have a feeling you'll join in." and she hugged him to her."
He hugged her back and took a deep breath and let it out. He was uterly happy and looked over at Quatre and Heero. They were so in love and so very happy with other. He was so very happy for his two friends. He thought as he looked at Hoshi and then at Heero and Quatre, this is how love should be, a feeling so strong that it brings two people together. The ending was only a minute or so away and Hoshi was so excited that her heart started to beat faster and faster. Duo looked down at her and he could feel her heart beating. He smiled down at her. He loved her so very much and no matter what they did together he was happy that they were just together with each other. There! That was the ending and now it was time.
Hoshi leaped from the couch and held out her hand to Duo. The braided man took it and she brought him to his feet with one strong tug.
Duo looked at her and her stance and then at the movie and the credits going. Then he realized with the music still playing what she was about to do. He was all ready when she spoke to him next.
"You know the moves this this song Duo?" she asked all excited and ready to dance her socks off.
"Sure do! Let's do it!" and he got ready too.
"Sweet!" She then ran up to Lilith and tugged her out of her seat. "Come on Lilith! You know wanna do this with us."
Lilith just shrug and got ready to dance her socks off with her friend. "Why the hell not."
As they started to dance Sora's granddaughter jumped to her feet and started to join in. Everyone laughed and smiled at the excited little girl having so much with them. Hoshi looked over to Heero, there was a little bit of a smile on his face. He was enjoying watching them dance. She smiled at his good mood. She then glanced at Wufei, he smirked but it was a good and fun smirk. He was enjoying, most likely, them making a fool out of themselvs. That isn't what Hoshi thought they were doing. They were just having a good ol time, dancing and just being with each other. Though she knew this would't last forever she would enjoy it while she had a chance too. Someone once told her, 'If you have time to enjoy it with friends and loved one's, then do it, you never know what life might throw your way the next day.'
At the end of the song everyone who wasn't up there dancing clapped and cheered the dancers on. Hoshi and the dancers took a bow and then Duo lifted Hoshi up in his arms and she giggled and hugged him around the neck. Duo kissed her on the cheek and she kissed him back, but on the lips. Duo was surprised by this, everyone cheered even louder and Hoshi blushed like crazy. She was enjoying her self so much. She better because things were going to get rough and tough later.
Before everyone made their way to either their rooms to do whatever Hoshi thought it would be a good idea to make a truce over the whole Prank Wars. Seeing as Sky looked like he was going to prank someone with something he was hiding behind his back. Hoshi shook her head. She had to end this prank war event here and now. Or else they would go on forever pranking each other every single day. She didn't think she could keep up with that much pranking. That and she didn't think she could keep on thinking up good pranks to pull on those that pulled pranks on her. It was all just so exhausting and tiring.
Hoshi cleared her throat and everyone kept on talking. Apparently she didn't clear her throat loud enough. She tried it again, and nothing, she just sweatdropped and said loudly. "Sky! No!!"
Everyone stopped talking and ducked behind something to take cover. You never knew what the little tricky wolf was going to prank you with. Quatre peaked from behind the big couch. Wufei was the only one who didn't duck, well him and Heero. Everyone else did. Wufei growled and clenched his teeth. "What was the meaning of that Kibou?"
She shrugged and smiled. "I just thought I would call a truce with everyone. You know over the Prank Wars. Cause to be honest, I don't know if I can do it any more. I'm fresh out of ideas and I am beat."
Everyone nodded and they chorased together. "Truce!"
Sky was sad and disappointed and dropped his strawberry cream pie on the coffee table. OF which Hoshi cleaned up and had him help her.
"Sky, really. You should be more careful." Hoshi mumbled as she scrubed the table after she wiped the mess up.
"What do you exspect when you end my fun. Hmph!" and he pouted at which Hoshi sighed and finished up her end. Sky finished up right after she did.
After the mess was all cleaned up and everyone decided to go their seperate ways and do whatever they wanted Hoshi and Sky headed to her room. She flopped on her bed, looking out at the sky she saw that dark clouds were forming and moving over the mansion. Hoshi didn't have a problem with storms and neither did Sky but for some odd reason...she felt alone. She wanted to be with someone, she didn't want to be alone. She laid there for what seemed like hours but in reality it was only about a half to an hour. She sat up and sighed. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to go to sleep but then she didn't. She was afraid she would have those horrible dreams again. She had been having dreams lately and they were horrible. They were of the men and at first they were happy and bright then they turned sad, horrible and dark. She started to shiver at the very thought of those dreams. She couldn't get them out of her head. Keeping herself busy she was unable to think about them. Thunder started to roll in the distance, getting closer with each flash of lighting. Soon the storm was there and every few seconds her room would light up with blue lighting. Sky mumbled things in his sleep and she giggled a bit. She got up and walked to the double windowed doors. The wind has picked up and the storm was raging on. The rain started to beat down hard on the roof and with one last flash of lighting Hoshi ran out her room and down the hall three doors down and across the hall. She stopped at the door and waited...if she knocked she might wake him up...but if she just walked right in...she twisted the nob gently as to try not to make as much nosie. She opened the door as quietly as she could and walked over to the bed. The lightingk flashed and it lit up the body laying in the bed, laying on his side. He breathed deeply and with each breath his body rose and fell. He was laying on his side and his braid was laid out behind his back. Hoshi carefully and as gently as she could climbed on the bed and laid facing his sleep form. She watched him breath, mouth slightly open, he stired here and there. She laid there for about a half hour before he slowly opened his eyes just as she was closing hers. Her eyes shot open and she studdered. "I-I thought you were sleeping."
Duo stayed on his side, laying down. "I was until you climbed in bed with me." he smiled.
"I didn't mean to wake you up. I-I just wanted to lay with someone. I didn't feel like being alone. I felt like being with someone tonight." She looked into his eyes and closed her slightly. "I'm sorry I woke you up."
"Don't be. It's nice to have someone lay with you. I...was happy you decided to come in here tonight."
Hoshi didn't know what to say. She didn't blush as much. "That makes me happy."
And Duo reached out his arms and hugged her closely to him. She cuddled up to him and took deep breaths of his scent. So sweet and fresh. She loved his smell. She leaned up and started to kiss him gently on the lips, slow at first and then sped up a bit. Duo got a bit excited and rolled over and ontop of Hoshi. Her eyes widened and Duo stopped. He leaned up. "I'm sorry. I got carried away." and just as he was about to move off of her Hoshi brought her hand up and rubbed his cheek. "No. It didn't bother me. I-I enjoyed it. Can-can we continue?" she asked looking to the side and then looking back up to him.
Duo smiled and just as a flash of lighting striked the sky he leaned down and started to kiss her neck with light butterfly kisses. Just as things were started to get heated up someone came throught he door and they stopped suddenly. Both looked to the door and just as another flash of lighting and boom of thunder stroke Sky's floating and sleepy form floated over to the two on the bed. He landed on the pillow just above Hoshi's head. Both sighed, they looked at him and then each other and laughed quietly and then settled down into the bed. Duo covered them both and Hoshi turned over and Duo cuddled up to her back and brought a arm over her side and hugged her to him. She sighed happily and Duo whispered in her ear. "Good night Hoshiko." and kissed her goodnight on the shoulders and laid down. Hoshi whispered back. "Goodnight...Duo." and both fell asleep to both the storm raging outside and the small noise of the tiny wolf sleep just above their heads. Life was great and the night had be exciting and sweet. The coming day would find them fully rested and with much energy for the day ahead. Smiles were worn on their faces and they thought about each other and dreamed about each other, sweet blissful dreams of love, care and tenderness.
End of Chapter 12 :)
