An Unknown Destiny
Chapter 10: Romantic Interference
By Hotaru and Amber
"Woah…" Duo mouthed. "Cool huh?" Hotaru giggled at his childish behavior. "Shh…I still have to do my part." She gave him a small smile and a tiny blush. 'She's so cute when she smiles…' Duo taught looking at her. He turned his gaze back to the two friends. "Go ahead Rebirth girl." Seiya stated. "NOW AWAKEN HARUKA TENOH! MIRUCHI KAIOH!!!" Hotaru cried as a violet light jumped from her to the crystal casts covering them in the same color. "As Lady of Rebirth I awaken you!" She smirked as the light destroyed or rather dusted the away the two senshi's crystal surroundings. The light in all its violet glory lifted the two scouts up and set them in front of the group. "Haruka-papa…. Miruchi-Mama…It is time to get up." Hotaru whispered tapping both on the shoulders. Two sets of eyes opened wide. That's when the back door flew open.
The door near the group flung open. Instinctively, the boys drew their guns, as did Hotaru. A young girl stepped foreword. "Duo?" She asked. "Hilde?" He questioned he girl putting his gun down. Hotaru almost teared up as the two friends hugged each other. 'Figures…All the good guys are always taken…No matter what time frame.' She sighed and lowered her weapon. "Oh Duo…You don't know what a scare you gave me." The one called Hilde smiled at the slightly taller teen. "Yeah…Well…" Duo turned to see Quatre coming up to the group, Noin and Yetan close behind him. "Hi guys." He waved. "What's going on? Yetan? Seiya?" Came a soft voice. "Hi Michi-chan." Seiya and Yetan waved. "What's going on Hotaru Tomoe?" Came a rougher voice. "Well you see Haruka-Papa…we have some major Senshi business coming down." Hotaru sighed as she looked up at Haruka's intense gaze. 'This is not going to be fun.' Hotaru thought as she watched Duo and his little "girlfriend," make their way away from the rest of the group.
"What's up Duo?" Hilde's blue eyes questioned the man who was like her older brother. "Hilde…I got something to say." Duo looked down at her with teary eyes. "Me too." Hilde thought aloud. "What is it?" He asked her. "You first." She gave a soft smile. "No you." Duo told her. "Ok…here goes…. Duo/Hilde…. I foundsomeoneandIthinkI'minlove." Duo and Hilde said at the same time then blinked. "You too?" The recited together. "Who?" Duo asked. Hilde blushed a bright red. "His name? Oh…His name is…Well…" Hilde couldn't finish saying it. Her blush grew bigger. "Well?" Duo asked. "Hey I don't see you coming all out with who you like." Now it was Duo's turn to blush. And he did. A bright red pink hue cast over his face. He turned to the group who was explaining their predicament to two women in fancy clothing. His eyes drifted to the smallest woman of the group. Soft violet blue eyes met cold yet warm violet purple colored ones. "Oh…I see…" Hilde smiled after following his gaze. "What's her name?" She asked. "Hotaru. Hotaru Tomoe." Duo replied and turned his gaze away still blushing brightly. "Duo you old dog." Hilde punched him in the shoulder lightly with a small fist.
Haruka listened intently to Hotaru. "So Sere?" She asked quietly. "I can't find a trace of her Michi-mama." Hotaru confessed eyes down cast. "Well…Sere's a good girl. She can take care of herself." Haruka tried to bring up the fives spirits. "Yes Haruka-Papa. I'm sure she can. But there's a force coming. Its after me and Sere." Hotaru looked up at her with concerned eyes. "Its pure evil. And…" She stopped to see Hotaru's eyes look in the direction of the braided teen. He was looking back at her with a soft loving gaze. 'NO! She wouldn't have would she?!' Haruka's mind screamed. 'If he laid one finger on my Baby he's toast.' A fist clenched upward. "Haruka…" She heard Miruchi's soft voice in her ears. "Yes." She broke her bone-chilling gaze with the unaware teen. "Don't think it." Haruka looked into Miruchi's angry eyes. The sea green hair cascaded to her elbows now. "Yes Miruchi." Haruka messed with her blonde hair. It was almost touching her shoulders. 'Yuck' Haruka thought mentally. 'It looks cute Haruka.' She heard a voice in her head. 'Miruchi?' She sighed. 'You can cut it later. But don't even try harming that boy…. You'd be hurting Hotaru too.' Miruchi stated in her mind. Haruka gulped at Miruchi's tone. 'Yes ma'am.' She replied.
