The Chatting Hearts: Chapter 9 Firefly's Doubt
By Hotaru and Amber
We do not own SM or GW now please enjoys the story.
Hotaru ran to hide behind an untransformed set of people. Uranus and Neptune to be precise or what looked like them. She raced away from one person. HER OWN FATHER!!!
"Hotaru…" Professor Tomoe's soft gray eyes watched the small teen as she fearfully remained behind a young man with unruly short blonde hair. "Hello Mr. Tomoe. Nice to see you again." The untransformed lady with a high bow stated. She carefully was watching Wufei and the others to ensure they didn't move to do any harm. She held something in her hand ready for anything. Tomoe watched her carefully. "Kino Makoto." He whispered softly. His eyes moved over some of the others. "Tenoh Haruka. Kaioh Michiru. Hino Raye. I remember you all." He pointed out his finger. "For some reason…I can't place my finger on it…but I know all of you. You as well Meioh Setsuna. You are the one who took my little girl away!" He growled at her. The Gundam pilots watched as each woman was introduced to them threw uncanny circumstances. Duo had used the shadows to make his way to Hotaru. Heero took the others attention allowing their friend to get in closer. Heero removed his gun sharply and pointed it at the longhaired raven woman. "Who do you work for?" He asked quiet harshly. The woman's soft almost violet eyes watched him with content. She wore a red long sleeved dress that came to below her knees. She also had on a darker belt with it and a similar shade vest. She grumbled something he couldn't hear. "Name's Hino Raye. We are the Sailor Senshi. We work for Justice." She told him. The girls nodded their heads. Duo was less than 2 feet away from the Tomoe girl. ***He needs just a little more time*** Heero told himself ***2 minutes maybe three***
Hotaru shivered as she watched them all. Her father continued to look past Haruka at her. Another shiver went down the spine. 'Why of all times did he need her? He didn't need her after Keiko, her stepmother, had died. Nor did he ever tell her about her real mother anymore. (I know that this is strange but I'm making Keiko Hotaru's step mom and Hitomi Hotaru's real mother. Duke Dermail killed Hitomi in my story. Connection to Gundam Pilots hehehe) why now?' Hotaru gripped onto Haruka's sleeve in fear and clutched her eyes. Her father's gaze was on her again and it made her shiver even more. "Don't worry Firefly…You're safe." Haruka told the younger girl.
Duo had just reached her when the older male had told the girl she was safe. He stopped to look at Heero. His mind cried out ***Think of something Heero. Get Blondie here off Firefly's case! *** Heero got the message through eye contact. "How can you be the Senshi. That is a boy. The Sailor Senshi are girls and weak ones at that!" Wufei helped the two. The one called Makoto rushed at Wufei. "Wanna fight me to find out whose weak!" She told the boy. He seemed a little shocked when a punch flew his way. Wufei was barely able to duck in time. "I am a girl idiot." Haruka told Wufei. BINGO Heero thought as Haruka moved away from the Tomoe kid. Wufei was so shocked he didn't see the other girl punching and got hit in the face. He flew into Trowa who barely caught him. Heero moved back and put his gun away. The dark haired girl's eyes narrowed then looked shocked. "Hotaru!" She yelled turning to see the smaller girl gone.
Hotaru had watched Makoto hit the Chinese boy. She felt like laughing aloud. A strong arm wrapped around her arms and waist holding her still. She turned to face Shinigami^_^ or now called Duo. She struggled somewhat but he placed a hand over her mouth and made a shhing sound. She stopped and looked back into his eyes. So blue they were almost violet. She felt him scoop her up and made little fight. His eyes had captured hers. So kind, gentile, full of laughter, but those eyes also held danger and death in them. ***He really is Shinigami…*** She heard her mind state as she felt around his aura. She didn't cry out like one should when being taken prisoner. She remained silent like the quiet senshi had always been. He continued his "Shhs…." Here and there comforting her. Just the sound of his breath near her ears and the fell of him made her fell complete. Something she hadn't felt in a long while. "Hotaru!" Raye's yell snapped the raven girl from her trance. She again began to struggle. ***Raye! *** Her mind cried out and tears took her eyes. Duo moved toward his friends. When she felt him and herself stop moving Hotaru's fight became more desperate. Duo held strong. She felt a cold sensation around her ankles and looked to see the one with long bangs cuffing her feet. Her mouth is freed. "Guys!" She cried out in fear. The senshi turn to face the Pilots and Hotaru.
Duo had grabbed Hotaru. He felt her struggle a little. She seemed ok though. Her raven hair turned, as did her face to meet his cool eyes. Her soft violet eyes betrayed her fear and something more. A look of death. The look he and the Gundam pilots held. Her fear soon was released and she looked at him carefully. For a whole minute he held her softly. Her body heat against his own. Her eyes met with his again. They were so close. He closed his eyes quietly in concentration and scooped her up. A stirring inside him wanted him to hold her even closer, to kiss her soft pink luscious lips, to caress her pale gentile skin. But most of all to never let go. He couldn't though. He moved to Trowa and Quatre. Quickly the Trowa Barton shackled the teen as she started to struggle again. Duo didn't let her go though, no matter what he was determined to keep his hold on her. Nothing else was so important to him right now….
