Disclaimer : la la la.... somewhere over the rainbow..... *ahem* Yeah, okay so anyway
this is a disclaimer stating that the characters in this story are NOT mine because this
is a fanfic...I mean, if these characters DID belong to fanfic-ers then we'd sorta be rich
by now... ^_-' Oh I might wanna add that they belong to Takeuchi Naoko and ummm some other
people? ^_-'
BTW, you might wanna know that SASAKI LEONA, YAMADA REIKO (& her family) are my
characters ^_^
*NOTE* the monster bit is a little grisly so beware.....
The Firefly
TWO
I heard screaming in my ears. Everything was clouded, but I saw Reiko. She seemed a little
blurry.
"Reiko!" I shouted. "Reiko?"
"Hotaru! What are you doing?" she screamed.
Then I felt something inside me laughing wickedly as I realised that the monster was using
my body to attack Reiko. I felt sick. I wanted to repel the monster out of my soul, but I
couldn't. I was too weak. Too weak minded, too weak willed.
"Hotaru!" she screamed as my hands grabbed her wrist and squeezing it tightly.
"Reiko! I'm sorry.... the monster.... it's using my body..." I tried to shout,
but my voice was blocked by the monster.
"No! No! Don't!" I could hear Reiko's screams. I closed my eyes and let the
monster take over. It was too late.
When I opened my eyes, my clothes and hands were stained with blood. I screamed.
"Hotaru...." I heard a gurgle beside me.
I saw Reiko lying beside me. She had been strangled and her body had
been....disfigured.....
"Reiko! It wasn't me... I wouldn't do it..... the monster...." I sobbed.
"Reiko, I'm sorry. If I could've stopped it...."
"We're..." she managed to start. "Frien...." She gurgled unable to
finish, then her head lay back.
"Rei...ko....?" I shouted. "Reiko! Reiko!"
I hugged her, then cried. I had killed her with my hands. I was too weak. Why was it that
I couldn't save somebody else's soul? Was it because I had given up mine? What is it like
to live a life instead of being ruled by one?
"Reiko...." I sobbed. "We are... we still are friends.... we always
will...."
I realised someone was around and I turned.
"Are you okay?" she asked, golden hair swaying in the night breeze. A black cat
swished her tail around me.
"I killed her...." I sobbed. "I killed her! I am a witch!"
"There's no need for that," the cat smiled softly. "Just sit there. We'll
fix everything up."
"Sailor Chibi Moon, Sailor Moon," another senshi said firmly. They both nodded.
"Double Moon Princess Halation!" they shouted.
A shower of glitter fell on me and I fainted.
"..taru chan? Hotaru chan?" I recognised that voice again. "Are you all
right?"
"I told you not to go out at night," he told me, then left. "Take care of
yourself."
"Don't be so strict on her Dr Tomoe," she sighed.
"I'll be in the lab."
"Where am I?" I mumbled. I opened my eyes to see her smiling down at me.
"At home Hotaru chan. Someone found you fainted on the street last night. I guess you
don't remember," she smiled.
"I...I...." I stuttered. I sat up and looked at my hands. The stains had gone. I
felt empty.
"Are you well enough to go to school?" she asked. "Your father says you
should, but you can stay home if you want."
"I'll go," I told her and got out of bed.
"All right then," she nodded. "I'll get you some breakfast."
"I'm not hungry. Thanks," I whispered.
I hurried and got dressed. I didn't know why I was going to school, but maybe because I
hoped that I'd see Reiko. Maybe last night was all a dream.
I walked in the class room and murmurs spread around the class room.
"Freak," Leona muttered as I walked past.
I sat down quietly in my seat.
"Did you hear about Reiko?"
"Everyone thinks she was murdered...."
"Why?"
"I dunno, there's sickos around you know..."
"She never hurt anyone.."
"Maybe it's the witch," Leona giggled evilly and loudly on purpose. All eyes
turned to me.
"You cursed her didn't you?" they shouted.
"You killed her!"
"It's your fault!"
"All right, it was me!" I stood up and shouted in the class room. I felt dizzy.
"Whatever is the matter Tomoe?" the teacher asked. "Who are you talking
to?"
I realised I was just hearing things. Everyone looked at me strangely, but Leona just
giggled. "She's saying she killed Reiko," Leona said loudly.
"Sasaki! Don't speak that way!" the teacher frowned. "You can't blame a
class mate. You can't blame anyone about this tragedy."
END OF PART TWO

'trailer' to bait you into reading the rest of this fic ^_-'
TRAILER:
"What are you doing here Chibi Usa?" he scolded her. "Come on, let's go
home."
"What's your name?" Chibi Usa asked. "My name is Tsukino Usagi, but call me
Chibi usa."
"Tomoe Hotaru..." I whispered. "Good bye."
