Shinigami's Protector
Part 4
Duo
took a quick turn around the corner. He gasped for breath as he looked behind
him to check on Hotaru. Only to find her not there. His eyes widen as he looked
around seeing no signs on the petite purpled eyed girl.
"Hotaru?"
Duo asked as he looked around. What is the monster got her? Hotaru! Duo
yelled in his mind and started running back towards the park hopping to find
her.

Sailor
Saturn twirled her staff over her head and pointed the glaive at the monster.
Her eyes turned cold as she glared at it.
"So,
the protector has arrived." The monster hissed.
"Who
sent you?" Hotaru demanded.
"You'll
find out soon. If you survive." The monster said then lunged at her. It's
hand out with long nails that could easily pierce through the skin. Saturn
jumped back knocking the hand away from her with her glaive. Saturn swung her glaive hopping to hit the monster but
missed.

Duo
panted as he stopped looking around only to find nothing.
"Where
is she?" Duo asked. He ran on top of a hill where he last saw Hotaru. His eyes
widen at what he saw. It was the same monster that attacked him earlier but
there was another person fighting it. It was a girl and she seemed very familiar
to Duo. Duo frowned as he watched the girl battle the monster.
"I've
seen her before." Duo whispered.
**Flashback**
"Don't
be afraid. I'll protect you." Saturn whispered.
***End
of Flashback***
"She's
the one from the church." Duo whispered in shock.

Hotaru
gasped softly as she saw Duo on top of the hill watching her battle the monster
with shock. The monster looked over its shoulder and smiled as it saw the one
called Shinigami.
"Your
mine!" it shouted as it turned it's attention to Duo. It charged towards Duo
ready to kill him with a quick blow.
"Run!"
Saturn yelled. Duo didn't listen to her. He couldn't. He was to focused on
the monster to notice anything around him. Saturn frowned as she ran after the
monster.
Saturn's
eyes widen as she saw she wasn't going to make it in time. I have no
choice. She thought. She stopped and held out her glaive. She concentrated
her powers to the glaive. Trying to put enough energy in it but not too much to
do great amounts of damage. It was so hard to control the power. Even her own
power.
"Silence
Glaive Surprise!" Saturn yelled.
As she slammed the blade onto the ground everything went deadly silent. Then a
pause. Then without warnings multiple beams of light emerged from the ground
where the blade of the silence glaive stood. The ground shook and a large blast
exploded from the small park side hill but it happened in dead silence.
Duo
cried out as he fell to the ground. The whole hill was shaking like an
earthquake. He looked and saw the girl with the glaive. The blade was on the
ground where the beams of light flashed. The girl looked and him. She was saying
something but he couldn't hear her. He couldn't hear anything. Not even the
weird ringing noise when everything turns really quiet. As the hill exploded he
expected to be caught in the blast but wasn't. All the debris hit some kind of
invisible force filled that surrounded him.
Then
when everything chaos ended the noise finally returned. But like nothing had
happened. Only half of the hill was gone and so was the monster. And the girl,
Sailor Saturn.
Duo
stood up shakily and stared at the destruction. He heard sirens coming his way.
Duo decided he better get going before he get in trouble. He turned to walk away
but looked back at where the senshi once stood. Duo frowned wondering where she
went. Did she end up destroying herself? Or is she just hiding? Duo
thought. But what hit him most was how much the girl looked like Hotaru. Only
she didn't look like the kind sweet Hotaru he knew.
His
eyes widen at the thought of Hotaru. Hotaru! Where is she? Duo thought
frantically.
"Duo?"
a timid voice squeaked. Duo looked and saw Hotaru walking towards him all shaken
up. Her eyes where wide and confused.
"Hotaru!"
Duo cried as he ran to the girl.
"Are
you ok?" Duo asked as he held the girl up. Hotaru nodded.
"Come on. Let's get out of here." Duo said as he guided Hotaru out of the park. Hotaru took a quick glance at the destruction she just caused. She looked sadly at the pain she caused. But she had to. No matter what. She had to protect her lord.
