Michiru awoke to the to the sound of the phone ringing she yawned before answering the phone. Please be haruka michiru thought to herself "moshi moshi". "konnichiwa michiru-san. Michiru's face fell at the sound of her manager's voice. She was really had high hopes that haruka would have a change of heart and call her. "hello michiru you there?" the manager asked. "sorry yes I'm still here just had a lot on my mind recently" michiru replied. "well I'm sorry to hear that but anyway I have some exciting news for you michiru-san" her manager said. "really I could use some exciting news" michiru replied. Her manager cleared his voice "the three lights manager and I have signed you both up to do another joint concert exciting right?" her manager said enthusiastically through the phone. "Ecstatic" michiru replied sarcastically. "good I knew you would be see you tomorrow at rehearsal first thing in the morning sayonara" the manager said before hanging up the phone.
Michiru plopped back down on the bed.(great another run in with seiya is all I need) she thought. She hadn't talked to him since the senshi meeting. Maybe she should have thanked him for trying to stand up for her. Michiru sighed as she stood up "I'll think about all that tomorrow" she said to herself. She then decide she would go and check on hotaru. When she reached hotaru's door she pushed it open entering her room. Hotaru quickly folded her arms over the desk she was sitting at." H….hey michiru-mama". Michiru rose an eyebrow in suspicion "what are you hiding over there" she said peering over hotaru shoulder. "Nothing you would be interested in" hotaru answered quickly. "Try me" michiru said folding her arms across her chest staring down hotaru and hotaru stared back. Their eyes locked in a staring contest. Hotaru smiled a little as it reminded her of an incident that happened before the starlights left for kinmoku.
Flashback
After galaxia was defeat the senshi decided to have a going away party for the starlights at rei's temple. "why is everything at my house" rei questioned. "because my place isn't big enough and everyone and everyone else would have to ask their parents for permission except the outer senshi with their big house and all" makoto said. "well then why couldn't we have"…rei was cut off by the sound of minako's voice. "how are we doing good? Good!. Our first game will involve the outer senshi having a stoic staring contest to see which outer senshi can hold a straight face the longest". the outer senshi sat at a table staring intently at eachother with their faces void of emotion. Usagi walked over to hotaru and whispered in her ear "chibiusa" this caused hotaru to instantly become flustered and blush the inner senshi awwwwwed at this.
Now it was just haruka,michiru,and setsuna. Michiru stared at haruka. (I'll take her out first then setsuna) michiru thought inwardly. (man when is she gonna blink my eyes are getting tired) haruka thought. Seiya looked between haruka and michiru and smirked an idea coming to his head. He walked over to michiru and whispered something in her ear. This automatically caused haruka's jealousy to flare up and she launched herself across the table and began to strangle him the other senshi rushing to pull her off of him.
Setsuna and michiru were the last ones remaining now this would be a challenge. "hey usagi" minako perked up. "What" usagi replied. "Why did the boy throw setsuna out the window" minako asked. "that's awful but I don't know" usagi said shrugging her shoulders. "To see time fly" minako said. Out of nowhere setsuna burst out laughing shocking everyone in the room. "Ha ha hah oh my god that was a good one to...see.. time..fly.. you guys….don't..don't get…..it" setsuna replied as she noticed everyone staring at her as if she had grown two heads. Setsuna strainghted herself up and cleared her throat returning to her usual stoic expression. "Well I guess michiru wins" minako announced. "By default!" hotaru,haruka,and setsuna corrected. "Your just a sore loser ruka do you really think you could have taken me out" michiru said giving haruka a look that made her squirm. "tch whatever" haruka pouted.
Back to the present
Hotaru was so caught up in her memories she just barely noticed michiru swiftly snatching the paper off her desk. Hey not fair hotaru huffed. "What do we have here" michiru began to read the letter aloud "dear chibiusa i….." oh my michiru trailed her eyes roaming over the rest of the letter. "It's a love letter how long have you two"…. "awhile" hotaru said cutting michiru off. "I see well I guess usagi isn't expecting grandchildren" michiru sighed. "Are you okay michiru-mama" hotaru asked in a worried tone. "I honestly don't know" michiru replied solemnly. "Your not gonna commit suicide are you?" hotaru questioned her eyes growing wide. "Heavens no" michiru responded shocked that she would ask such a question. "Oh just checking do you think haruka-papa hates me?" hotaru asked. "No why do you ask" michiru said. "Well you know I did slap her now that think about it I was a little out of line".
"Oh hotaru to be honest I'm kinda glad you did slap her" michiru said. "She had the nerve to call you a slut when she was the one who cheated on you in the first place" hotaru exclaimed. Michiru pulled hotaru into a hug. "Its not your fault hime-chan you were just doing what you thought was best even if that involved slapping the hell out of haruka" michiru said chuckled as she recalled the event. "I just don't understand haruka would do something like this I thought she loved you michiru-mama I thought she liked being a family" hotaru said frustrated. "I don't know hime-chan but I do know one thing" michiru said. "Whats that" hotaru questioned. "No matter what happens you and I will always be family"michiru said with a smile.
A/N sorry for worrying you guys I have not stopped writing I just had a lot on my mind the past few days btw I know they didn't have a going away party for the starlights but for the sake of the story they did. And in stars season hotaru was like 10 or something so 5 years since then would make her fifteen now just to clarify her age. I let the next chapter be a surprise for you. Also because seiya and usagi are over doesn't mean she ends up with mamoru but I'm not going to spoil it for you. You'll have to stay tuned and find out. Promise this story gets more exciting.
