Hey...sorry I took so damn long to update. Ideas are short and school starts in 8 hours.....My last 8 hours of freedom and I'm pulling an all nighter....Iv'e drank enough coffee and Mountian Dew....to keep me awake all night. I swear that I'll update this chapter before 4 am!! Hey!!! I got 10 reviews!!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! I love you people I really do! Please review! I beg of you please go to the little box at the bottom of the screen and Hit the button that says 'click here to submit review' It'll boost our creativity.

We plan on finishing this fic...and we promise that this will be long.(we are well known for dragging things out.....which always makes things a little more interesting, because we like to leave the readers in suspense.) And short chaptered fics with lots of chapters.....are one of my biggest pet peeves......people like write a 300 word long chapter...and then take forever to update.

I am a avid short, plotless, fic hater...they bug me.





well anyway......I try not to use much japanese in my fics...because then I get like a bazillion reviews asking me what something means ~_~* I hate explaining the meaning of the words or phrases.

Maremaia Kushrinada ~ Endless waltz



Chapter three.......Confusion, and convieneince store robberies.

"A.....A.....ACHOOO!" Rei sneezed. The raven haired senshi of fire, was huddled up next to the fireplace in The outers mansion.

Yukito, and everyone else looked at the now, oversized t-shirt clad blanket wrapped teen with sympathy. Her teeth chattered as Usagi rubbed her back.

"Damn hi...ACHOO! Damn it.....*sniffle* stupid cold." she said, shivering underneath the blanket.

"Yuuichiro just had to hang all over you at the temple...didn't he?" Makoto asked toying with her ponytail.

"Oh..I ACHOO...know. Hota-chan....wheres the kleenexes?" She asked.

"Here. You know...instead of getting you guys apartments....you six can stay here at the mansion.....unless thats too much of a hassle for you." Haruka said, walking in the door way. Her face, hands, and clothing covered in grease.

"Where were you Haruka-papa! And....why are you covered in grease?"

"Some guy's car broke down and I had to fix my bike. I made a couple of hundred bucks fixing that car though."

"Hi...I see you made it here in one piece." Haruka said, taking off her jacket and throwing it into a hamper near the kitchen.

"Yeah..*Sniffle* but..not without a attack......some blonde by the name of Oni, was creating a snowstorm and we stopped her. But before we could kill her, she got away and left another youma for us to deal with." Rei said. Fever gleaming in her eyes.

Her eyes turned to the once again human Yukito and her eyes instantly narrowed into little slits.

"Who may I ask are you? And what are you doing here?" She asked.

"I'm a friend of your daughters and I helped get rid of that youma that attacked."

"Hey...your that kid from yesterday...the one that wierd woman attacked."

"Yep. My name in this form is Yukito Tsukishiro."

"He's not entirely human......he kind of has an alter ego or so to speak. He just got done telling us the entire story of his past. I'll tell you later. Soooo...wheres Setsuna-mama and Michiru-mama?"

"Setsuna is at the time gates....somethings been trying to break the dimensional barrier.......The fates haven't told her anything."

"And we aren't exactly going to be of any help in that area. We aren't allowed there." Mina said, taking a coke from the fridge.

"Yeah....I know it's forbidden, stupid rules." Haruka scowled.

"Why aren't you allowed there?" Yukito asked...listening intently.

"It's forbidden.....Setsuna...or Sailor Pluto is the guardian of the time gates. She watches all the seperate timelines in the different dimensions. No one but her is allowed there...it's a taboo were not allowed to break. Anyone who goes there.....is killed. So far the only person to ever be allowed there, and survive is her." Haruka explained, pointing at Rini.

"Why did she.."

"She was Usagi's future daughter. We sort of had our destinies planned out for us. But she and her boyfriend broke it off...because they realized it just wasn't meant to be. So avoid dropping from existence, Neo-queen Serenity, sent her back to this time line. Where she plays the part as Usa's younger sister."

"Aa. That's confusing." Yukito said, looking out the window.

"Your telling me. At least you aren't the one that had to go through it all." Rini said, turning her headphones up.

"What are you listening to Chibi-usa? I can hear it from here." Haruka asked.

"Without me." She answered, turning her headphones up.

"Hey! I like that cd! Where'd you buy it?" Mina asked.

"Fye. In the mall....it was cheaper there."

"Who sings it?" Haruka asked.

"Eminem." Everyone said.

"Who's that?" She asked. Everyone face vaulted.

"You don't know who Eminem is?" Usagi asked....staring at the scout of the wind in shock.

"Remember that cd that you confiscated that I stole back and blared on my radio for three months straight......this is the same guy." Hotaru said. Hitting the stop button on Rini's cd player.

"Hey!!"

"Shut that thing off.....Haruka-papa's gonna blow a gasket....go hide it in my room somewhere." Hotaru said, pointing down the hall.

Rini ran.

"Usagi.....you....you let your daughter listen to that?" Haruka asked.

"Kenji-papa and Ikuko-mama are too protective.....so I pretty much let her do as she pleases." Usagi answered.

"Well you do have a point...I remember the first time I showed up at your house and Your father answered the door....he thought I was a guy and he just about gave himself an heart attack."

"My dad doesn't like the thought of me dating.....he doesn't even like the fact that I hang out with Motoki at the arcade. Or Melvin....and he's dating Molly."

Suddenly something started blaring on Hotaru's stereo....which Usagi recognized as the song "I think my dad's gone crazy."

"Hey! Isn't that the song you were playing in your car earlier?" Mina asked.

"Uh huh." She said.

"Who's up for a vegging session, we need it...you guys need it anyway....I need to study for my Trig test." Hotaru said.

"Your in trig?" usagi asked.

"Yeah. It's pretty easy." Hotaru said, heading down the hall.

"Hey....Hotaru...I need to bum a ride home." Yukito said.

She turned on her heel.

"Oh...right sorry....i forgot with everything." She said, going to the back room to grab his coat and her keys.

She returned. Yukito's face burned in embarrassment.

"Sorry, Hotaru." he said, slipping his coat on.

"It's not a problem. Besides...the house is a little crowded right now.....they'll be gone in a few days. they just need to call the apartment complex and get their stuff in order." Hotaru said.

She opened the door, and they slipped out of the house practically unnoticed.

That's when Mina spoke up.

"I smell love in the air guys....."

"You don't mean those two.*Sniffle* Do you?" Rei asked, sweatdropping.

"Yes I mean them, I mean....he's obviously crushing on her and she doesn't show it well but I mean....Come on...he's a total hunkster. And they go to the same school...I know she's got a crush on him." She said excitedly.

"Oh...Oh no you don't Minako Aino! You aren't going to interfere. You remember what happened the last time you did that? Total disaster." Usagi said, shaking her head. The blonde had matured quite a bit since they'd faced Chaos and Galaxia.

Unfortunately....Minako the self proclaimed goddess of love....had not.

"Awww..come on Usa! Your ruining all my fun!" Mina said, pouting.

"I mean it. Leave them alone. Or i'll let Rei chase you with that damned broom."

"Whatever." She said...she was forming plans in her head, totally ignoring Usagi's warning.

"Heh....she does have a point...I saw that blush on his face when he asked to bum a ride back to his house. He was red as a fire hydrant. Or a sunburnt tomato." Makoto said.

"That may be true, but we don't need blondie here screwin things up either." Rei said.

Minako went to the living room. and started to drown them out watching MTV.

With Hotaru...................................................................... ...............

"How long have you known them?"

"Since long before you were ever born." She said, adjusting the rearview mirror.

" How old are you?" He asked.

"If I hadn't been re-born three times, I'd be well over a thousand years old."

"Re-born...don't you mean Re-incarnated?"

"No re-born...every time I come back my appearance is always the same. But everytime I get killed it's because I Destroyed something. Usually a planet. Or I got killed by an enemy as In the case with Galaxia and Chaos."

"That name sounds familiar.....weren't they after something called Starseeds?"

"How'd you know?" She asked.

"They attacked me. But quickly found out that they weren't going to get what they wanted." He answered.

"Got away then?"

"Yep."

"I wasn't that fortunate...they stole my sailor crystal and destroyed my body.....which proves the fact that were not invincible." She said.

"Oh. Then how did you come back?"

"Eternal Sailor Moon, sacrificed herself. She threw herself into the cauldron, and destroyed chaos. But Then we were given the chance to be put back into our own time instead of re-born. We took it.....this was seven years ago." Hotaru explained. Pulling the car from the driveway.

"So you were just a little kid when all of this happened?"

"Yeah...had to worry about saving the universe at age eight.....bad ne?"

"Makes you appreciate being normal doesn't it?" He asked.

"Being normal is so underrated, it's not even funny." she answered.

"At least you don't have to hide the fact that your not exactly human." He said.

"You try being a super heroine who the reporters are always trying to find." She said.

"Popular back in juuban or something?" he asked.

"You have no idea." She said, shaking her head.

"You know what.......that blonde back at your place....she reminds me of someone I know.......her name is Akizuki Nakuru."

"Which blonde......Haruka-papa, Minako, or Usa?"

"Uh the one with the long hair in the bow."

"Mina. Yeah, so why does she remind you of this person...got a crush on her or something angel boy?" She asked,

"No.....that's definitely not it. Too hyper. I said that because if they ever met.....I think that we'd be in for a lot of trouble."

"Yeah...she's always trying to hook us up with people...she's the self proclaimed Ai no Megami. If you catch my drift." She said, chuckling.

"Hmm....the goddess of love.....I take it because she's sailor venus right?"

"Bingo. That's exactly it. But she's comical thats for sure." Hotaru said, chuckling.

"I bet she is."

"You really just dont want to piss her off.....she's 10x worse than haruka- papa when she's pissed at someone. Trust me haruka-papa, is really bad at times....overprotectively wise."

"My mistress has a brother with a massive sister complex. It's one of the reasons he gave me his powers."

"You have someone elses powers?" she asked.

"not anymore...she's strong enough to support me now, but back when she was younger she couldn't handle the energy drain...and it almost killed her. I almost died as well. That's the reason that he gave me his powers. As she got older, she got more power....now, she can support me and Cerberus...that's the name of the lion that was with her yesterday...thats her other guardian. Touya got his powers back. Although he didn't really miss them. He has the ability to see ghosts, and If you've ever seen the movie "the sixth sense" Some of them look like they're straight from the movie. I found that out a few days after the power transfer. Now I know why sakura has such a fear of ghosts. She can see them now.......although it's usually her mother..who died when she was very little."

"Hey...what street do you live on Yukito...I dropped you off at Sakura's last time." She said.

"Take a left and go straight two miles." He said, as they approached another corner.

"So you basically put duty before everything else?...hmm sounds like someone else I know....oh yeah....me."

"So what's the reason you guys moved here anyway?" he asked.

"We were checking up on a suspicion that rei had in a vision. She's a Shinto priestess."

"I got the impression from the clothing she was wearing."

"Well anyway, We came here to confirm our suspicion. And whats worse is that We've faced the same enemy twice before....and this time they're stronger than ever.....and I'm afraid that were going to have a repeat of the silver millenium." She said, stopping at a gas station.

"I need some pop....want anything?" she asked.

"uh....pack of gum would be nice." he said, as she got out.

"Ok...what kind?"

"Doesn't matter." he said.

She left him to his thoughts.

'She's a very nice girl.....despite all she's been through in her short life....well this one anyway. So much power placed on the shoulders of these ten girls. And now they have a new enemy......they deserve all the help they can get. Hmm....I wonder if she'd ever go on a date or something with me....sakura did promise to hook the two of us up.' he thought.

with hotaru.

'man......i never knew i had that much in common with someone. He's really nice...and he's quiet...and he isnt out for my attention. not to mention as Minako would put it.....a total hunkster....maybe I should ask him out on a date.' she said, as she grabbed the items she'd went in to buy.

She set them on the counter. Still lost in her thoughts.

The woman at the counter looked at the girl and then drawled.."That will be $ 2.18 please." she said. Hotaru handed the woman the money...then a gunshot was heard.

(A/N come on people...I watched "don't be a menace to south central" 6 times....and have listened to my Eminem cd for 12 hours straight...the idea of a convenience store robbery is just too tempting for me to pass up....Naoko would normally kill me for putting this in here, but she's too buisy coralling her muses. They got into her guacamole again, and they ate all her expensive chocolates that she saves for when she goes through a massive break up. It's the only thing that comforts her. oh yeah one other thing....these two things are every teenage girls best friend......Chocolate and Midol oh yeah cant forget the parent proofer....earplugs....the invisible ones that we use when we want to ignore everything a parent has to say especially while watching your favourite anime and writing.)

The store clerk hissed to Hotaru." I already hit the alarm...and I have a shotgun...I'll be ok.. just get out of here." The clerk said. Hotaru spun on her heels and ran from the store, only to see her car being beat with base ball bats.

"Hey! You creeps get away from my car!!!! Dammit that thing cost me a fortune!" She yelled, distracting their attention, so Yukito could get out.

He did.

"Hey assholes!! Over here!" He yelled.

"Be careful...they got guns!" she yelled.

Suddenly she felt the pressure of something sharp against her throat. She froze.

'can't transform....trapped. OH FUCK!' she thought, her eyes darting to Yukito, who was single handedly taking out three guys.

"Don't scream or i'll slit your throat." He said. Hotaru was not about to take this. She suddenly remembered a move Makoto had taught her if she ever got into a jam. Called drilling your thumbs into a pressure point in someones jaw.

she reached up and dug her fingers into his jawbone. He let go in surprise. And dropped his switchblade. She placed a roundhouse kick to his head. Yukito was observing the damage. She grabbed his arm."Let's go before they decide to get even." She said. shoving him back into the car. She stole a gun from one of the unconcious flunkies.

"This is just not our day is it?" Yukito asked, taking the pack of gum Hotaru had bought for him.

"No....it's not. We fight off a youma....then we get stuck fighting off a bunch of goons that have nothing better to do than rob convineince stores in the middle of nowhere." Hotaru grumbled.

"Ah the story of our lives." Yukito said. The sarcasm in his voice obvious.

"Oh I know...don't you love it." She said.

"Hey uh Hotaru.....I got a question."

"Shoot."

"Uh...Are you buisy by chance on Saturday?" he asked.

"Ummm...no. I dont think so."

"Would you like to go to dinner and a movie with me?' he asked.

Her brain stopped.'OK REWIND! Am I imagining things or did he just ask me out on a date.' Her brain screamed.

"UH....." she panicked. ( for those of you who have seen the show "titus" think of the little room he's in when he's doing the commentary on his life. yeah...the little room with the chair and the lightbulb. This is Hotaru's concience/brain. I watched it earlier so I have lots of stupid one liners.) 'Hotaru no baka! Earth to Shinimegami! whats the word you wana say.....yeah that three letter word. now let your brain connect to your mouth.....good girl...' she scolded herself.

"Yes....I'll go with you." she said, not trusting her voice at the moment.

Inside Yukito's mind...he was doing backflips.

'Yeah!! I scored! finally....thank you god! For this one favor!! just dont let me screw things up!' he thought.(Same little room.)

'I thought he was never going to ask. But then again....would I have....hmm.....what happened the last time I asked someone else..let's see.....'

****Flashback****

"Kusanagi......will you go on a date with me?" she asked.

"Me...and you.....your jokin righ'?" he asked.

"No....I'm not..."

He sniggered."Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! Thats funny."

****End flashback******

'Ok that didn't go so well.' she said.
