Hotaru was sitting on her balcony, watching the sun slowly descend behind the horizon. ' . . . His past will
eventually catch up to him . . .'Setsuna's words haunted her. After the party Hotaru couldn't find Setsuna anywhere. She was
never able to understand what she meant.

"His past will eventually catch up to him." Hotaru repeated silently to herself. She still had no idea. Hotaru
didn't know Serafin was watching her. He knew what Setsuna meant and he was dreading the day this prophecy would come
true . . . for Hotaru's sake.

Hotaru felt his eyes on her. She turned and looked at his handsome face. She smiled and he smiled back as he walked
onto the balcony as well. He leaned back against the railing and looked at Hotaru.

"Serafin?" Hotaru asked deciding it was time to ask him.

"What?" He asked.

"How did you know what Rini and me were talking about?"

He looked down and sighed quietly. "I . . . let's just say that I still have my powers that I had when I was an
angel."

"Powers?"

Serafin nodded. "I can hear better than any person. I can tell what someone's thinking or what happened in their
past by just touching them. I can use magic or energy blasts either/or. And I'm exceptional in martial arts/combat and
swordsmanship."

"But you're an angel. Why?"

"Because of the war in Heaven. We had to know how to fight and we were trained to do so."

The sun had already set and the moon was in the sky.

"I'm going to bed." Hotaru said as she got up. "Night."

"Good night, Hotaru." Serafin said after her.

Hotaru took a shower and got dressed for bed. On second thought she slightly opened her door and looked at Serafin.
He laying on his back on the couch with his arms crossed over his chest. He didn't seem to be sleeping because his eyes were
open. He seemed like he was thinking. Hotaru quietly closed her door and made her way to her bed. She laid down and pulled
the covers over her. It was so strange that she felt so much safer with Serafin in her apartment. She smiled to herself just
thinking about him before dozing off.

Hotaru was walking through a hallway. Her hallway that led to her living room. There was blood staining the carpet.
Red blood. Dark red blood. She felt really afraid so, she changed into Sailor Saturn. She continued walking slowly down the
hallway. She finally made it to the living room and gasped. There was a figure. Draped in a black shredded cloak stained
with blood. It was holding a sword with blood dripping off the tip. It began to run and jumped off the balcony. She followed
and nimbly jumped after it. She finally caught up to it and it turned to her. It took off its cloak and it's . . . an angel?!
But something was wrong. Something was very wrong. There was an evil aura coming from this thing.

"Hotaru!" A voice called. Before she knew what was going on, she was pushed aside. She heard a cry on pain and agony
and saw Serafin lying on the ground bleeding horribly. But he was different. He had white wings . . . like an angel . . .
but they had blood on them. She looked at the "angel" and saw its hand raised. It snickered and looked delighted that it
had caused pain to someone. She felt her rage rising. No one ever hurts her friends. She looked back at Serafin and he had
stood up. He held himself with dignity although he was obviously in a lot of pain. He hid it well. Hotaru took a step
towards him.

"Serafin, it's an angel." Hotaru whispered.

"An angel of hell. He escaped from his torment. He is the one who killed me." Serafin said without any emotion.

Hotaru looked back at the angel who was chuckling.

"Hotaru, get out of here." Serafin commanded.

"Serafin-" Hotaru began.

"This is my fight." He said before looking at her with a little regret. "You'd get in the way."

Hotaru looked at him. A little stunned by what he said. She didn't see the blast that hit her with full force. It
felt like her body had been consumed by fire. She screamed in pain. She hit the ground hard.

"Hotaru!"

She opened her eyes. It was Serafin. Her whole body hurt. She could barely move.

"Hotaru." He repeated softly as a small tear fell from his eye. Why was he crying? Why did he care? They were
friends but . . .

She heard herself whisper. "I love you, Serafin."

He softly caressed her face. "I-"

Hotaru woke up and didn't know what to think. In a way she wanted to know what Serafin was going to say. Hoping it
was that he loved her too. She was sweating. Oh, God, that had been so real. Serafin! Hotaru jumped out of bed and
practically ran into the door in her hurry to see him.

"Serafin?!" She asked into the dark. "Serafin!" She said a little louder. "Serafin!" She was practically yelling.
She sighed in relief when she felt a hand on her arm.

"I'm here. What's wrong?" He asked her softly.

Hotaru realized how stupid that had been. "Uh, um, sorry, I had a bad dream and well," Should she tell him about it.
She heard him chuckle lightly.

"Another one?" He asked. "Why are you afraid?" Hotaru was surprised to feel his hand softly caress her face. She
felt her heart begin to race just by this simple touch. She grabbed his hand from her face and held it, intertwining her
fingers with his.

"Serafin," Hotaru began. "Do you believe that dreams can be prophecies?"

"Strange as it may seem, most are but they are in such a strange way that we don't realize it while others are
like . . . seeing into the future." He replied.

Hotaru didn't want to think that it was a prophecy. She didn't want to see that happen. "Would you sleep by me
again?" Hotaru asked. "I feel safer by you." She added a little timidly. She felt herself picked up again and laid down
softly in her bed. The bed went up slightly and Serafin wrapped an arm around her waist. Hotaru sighed in content and feel
asleep.

"I wouldn't let anything happen to you." Serafin whispered to Hotaru.
