Death
Part 5
Hotaru woke up with the rays of sun shining through the windows. She cracked an eye open and stared at her surroundings. Then she remembered she was in Quatre's mansion. She sat up in bed and looked out the window. It was bright and sunny. Not like last night's thunderstorm. Hotaru smiled thinking of last night's events. Duo and her scarred the other gundam pilot's silly dressing Duo up as the grim ripper and her transformed as Sailor Saturn.
Hotaru stepped out of bed and noticed a pile of clothes on the bedside table. There was also a note on tope. She picked it up and it read:
Hotaru,
Didn't want to wake you up so I thought to leave you a note. The other and I went on our mission and won't be back till around sun down. Here are some clothes that Quatre found in his sister's closet. Hope they fit you!
Love,
Duo
Hotaru blushed but couldn't help but smile when she read "Love,
Duo." Then her smile turned into a frown. What happens when I leave? I
want to see my family and friends but I can't leave Duo. I love him. Thoughts
raced through Hotaru's mind. She sighed and got dressed.
Hotaru looked at herself. The clothes that Quatre gave her where
a little bit to big for her. She wore a purple dress and black vest that
came with it. The dress was supposed to go to about the claves of
her legs but went down to her ankles and the vest hung a bit past her waist.
"It better then nothing." Hotaru muttered. She then walked out
the door to see if she can get breakfast and wait for Duo.

"Hey Heero here's your pathway! Destroy these suckers and let's
go!" Duo shouted as he sliced through another Leo.
Zero moved over to the base where the mobile suits that had to
be destroyed where. It raised its Twin Buster Rifle, aimed and shot. The
base was destroyed.
"That was to easy." Trowa said. Heero nodded. Then Doctor. J
appeared on his visual screen.
"Doctor. J?" Heero asked.
"The mobile suits you just destroyed where a fake. It appears
OZ has made fakes for you to destroy and sent out the real ones to the
place where you're staying at now." Doc. J said.
"That means there heading towards Qauatre's mansion." Wufei said.
"That means there heading straight for Hotaru!" Duo shouted.
"We have to hurry!" Quatre shouted. Everyone nodded and quickly
left.
Duo bit his lip. Hotaru, please be ok when I get there.
****
Hotaru sighed as she looked out the window. It's already near
sundown and Duo still hasn't came home. She was starting to get worried.
She got up and walked around the house for the third time today. Soon a
bunch of the servants came running by and to the hanger. They where the
ones the Duo called the Magunaca (spelling?) Core. The one that was supposed
to be the leader, Rashid stopped and walked towards Hotaru.
"Miss. Hotaru. You better go to a safe place. There are some
enemy mobile suits heading this way." He said.
"Enemy mobile suits?" Hotaru asked. Rashid nodded. Then there
was a large bang and the house shook. Hotaru fell to the ground and Rashid
fell against the wall. He helped her up.
"Now please find somewhere safe!" Rashid begged. Hotaru nodded
and watched as he ran off.
****
Soon the gundam pilots made it back to the house only to see
a battle has started close to the house. A bit to close.
"Ok you know what to do. Duo you go find Hotaru and get her out
of there." Heero said and he flew off into battle.
Hotaru ran but fell as the house shook. She ran to the door and
opened it to get out only to see some soldier landing there mobile suits
in the front. Hotaru gasped as she quickly shut the door. Where do I go
now? She quickly ran to the back door. As she grasped the doorknob Hotaru
swayed a bit back and forth. She breath turned into deep gasps. She ignores
her tiring body and opened the door.
She then ran out. Her heard a low rumbling nose. Hotaru turned
around and saw a mobile suit flying low to the ground. She shrieked
and dropped to the ground. As soon as it passed Hotaru looked up. Then
she got an idea.
"Saturn Crystal Power…Make Up!" She shouted and raised her hand
in the air. Only nothing happened.
"What happened? Why can't I transform!" Hotaru shouted.
"Freeze!" a voice shouted. Hotaru turned around and saw a mobile
suit with its gun aimed at her. Her eyes widen. What am I going to do!
I can't transform and I my body is already too tired to run anymore. Hotaru
thought. She was scared.
Then some more mobile suits landed around her. Surrounding her.
Hotaru looked around frantically trying to find a way out but there was
none. Then she felt a rush of pain rise up in her body.
Hotaru cried out and clutched her chest trying to breath. "What's…happing…to
me?" Hotaru cried. A purple aura start glowing around her. Her bang then
starts to up reviling a glowing symbol on her forehead. The symbol of Saturn.
Then a large beam shot out destroying the mobile suits that surrounded
her.
"Duo where are you!" Hotaru cried.
****
Duo swung his scythe as he sliced through some airs. He looked
around but couldn't find Hotaru anywhere. Then he saw a group an aires
surrounding something. He squinted his eyes to take a closer look and saw
Hotaru! His eyes widen as he saw her cry out in pain. Then a purple aura
surrounding her. Then with out warning a beam shot out of her destroying
the mobile suits.
Duo maneuvered the Deathscythe to get to Hotaru as fast as he
could. He then jumped out of his gundam and ran towards Hotaru but stopped
when he came towards the beam. It was pretty wide. He looked through it
and saw Hotaru crying out in pain. Duo took a deep breath and ran through
the beam and towards Hotaru.
When he got to Hotaru a bright light came. "Hotaru!" Duo yelled.
Then everything went black.
Duo woke up and found Hotaru in his arms. She was unconscious.
He also noticed the glowing symbol on her forehead. He gently touched it.
"Duo." Duo looked up as he heard his name was called.
"Who's there!" he demanded. Then an image appeared in front of
him. It then formed into a woman. She has long dark green hair and light
garnet colored eyes. She wore a suit just like sailor Saturn except it
was black and a dark red color. She also held a long thin staff that looked
like a giant key.
"Who are you?" Duo asked. The women smiled.
"My name is Sailor Pluto. The keeper of Time. I'm a friend of
Hotaru," she said in a gentle voice. Duo stared at her confused.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"To take Hotaru back to where she belongs." Pluto said.
