More Notes from Iba:
Wow, this story has done much better than I thought. Not as much as I hoped for, but oh well. Bwuhahaha! I'm going to warp each and every person to my own will!
Mmm, somebody asked me in one of my reviews: "Why were the people at school were so mean to Hotaru?". Ha, ha, ha. Don't you know? Well in short, that's just how people are...
Somebody was also bitching at me about calling Hotaru "weak". Well, everybody knows she's weak physically, but her powers surpass all of the other senshi, including Sailor Moon's.....Ugh, now i'm going to have the Sailor Moon fans on my back. X_X
Hotaru had ignored Dr. Tomoe's "hello" when she walked by, and went straight to her room to hide. She sat on her bed, curled up in a ball, tightly squeezing a teddy bear in her arms hoping it would give herself some comfort somehow. The day had just been too brutal to bear.
::::Hey....I made a pun! O_O; Didn't even realize it!::::
Mugen High School thought she was a freak because they had seen her strange healing powers...However, Orange Star High School thought she was a freak just because she was her. She hadn't said anything crude, or barely talked at all. She didn't let them see any of her powers, mainly because there hadn't been any need for them.
It wasn't fair! How could they do what they did to her for no reason?!
"Hotaru--sweetie?" Dr. Tomoe stood beside her bed, grimly frowning. He knew exactly what would happen to her, and that there was a good chance it would. But he had just wished so much that it wouldn't have.
Hotaru dried her eyes, and looked up at her father from the stuffed bear. "...Daddy."
Tomoe sat beside her, and gave Hotaru a comforting hug. But it was useless. Hotaru could no longer find solace in her father after she had realized that a simple hug would not make her problems leave, and she turned away from him.
"That place is worse than Mugen," Hotaru told him. "Please don't make me go back there."
Like any loving parent, this killed Dr. Tomoe to see his pride and joy to be in pain such as this. "Ohh...I didn't notice how upset you were, dear. I just was wondering if you wanted to go for some ice cream?"
He had been using that tactic on her since she was a todler, but a bit of ice cream could cheer her up. With one last sniffle, she smiled and nodded in approvement.
Gohan was flying home, as normal, in his *ahem* "Great" Saiyaman costume. Though he had only known her for half a day, his mind was completely filled of thoughts of that strange new girl, Hotaru.
He had never known anyone like her. She was so shy, so quiet, so....pale! A fragile person like her seemed to be too afraid to come out in the sunlight, but Hotaru didn't seem to shine as a coward to him.
There was also some kind of strange energy being emitted from her. It was quite unlike the energy from his friends, though he thought he had felt this energy someplace before...
"Gohan!" He heard Krillin's voice come out of nowhere and stopped.
If it weren't for the shaded visor and Gohan's helmet, he would have been blinded by the glare of the sun on Krillin's hairless head. "What are you doing all the way out here, Krillin?"
"You mean you haven't sensed that strange energy coming from Satan City ALL DAY? Goku felt it too, but he said he had to do some eh...'things' with Chichi, so he wouldn't come and check it out with me."
His father was doing "things" with his mother? "Oh Kami! Where the hell is Goten?!"
"Don't worry, Goten is down in the forest taking a piss," Krillin told him.
Phew! Goten doesn't need to be exposed to that yet, Gohan thought.
"But anyways, let's get Goten and head back for Satan city. We can't leave that energy alone until we find out what it is."
Gohan's thoughts quickly went back to Hotaru. The strange energy.....nah, it couldn't have been a weakling like her. "Okay, let's go Krillin."
Yeah, sorry. A whole lot less happened in this chapter than I wanted. But chapter three should be pretty interesting. Check it out whenever the hell I actually post it. Review and whatever, please.
