ILast time:

"You're the leader of the Sailor Senshi?" she nodded. She pushed herself up with an unnatural grace and walked to the beautiful vanity set and sat down. She loosed her hair from the long braid and started brushing it. She closed her eyes and a serene look took over her face. I gasped at the beauty of my daughter. I pulled my attention away from my daughter to the forgotten album. A picture was falling out of it. I picked it up ready to put it back into the photo album, but it caught my eye. It was a picture of Issui, Heika, Corrin, and- it couldn't be. I glanced at my daughter; she seemed oblivious to what was happening. I looked the picture over again. Heika, Issui, Corrin and... Kouhi. I stared at Kouhi for a moment and it dawned on me. I turned to my daughter. She looked at me in confusion.


"Kouhi is...was Hotaru's daughter?"/i



Heika looked at me for a second uncomprehending, "I killed Hotaru's daughter?" She nodded her head slightly and shrugged as if it we no big deal. I glared at her.


"How can you be so cold and unfeeling? I just killed one of my friends daughter! And according to the picture one of your close friends!"


She looked at me for a second, then spoke, "Does that make it anymore wrong?" I looked at her confused, "When you killed Kouhi you had no qualms about it. In fact you were glad to be an instrument of justice, but as soon as you found out that the person you killed was related to someone you know, it's wrong. So it's alright to kill a murder and kidnapper as long as you don't know anybody related to them."


I stared at her for a moment. She was right. It shouldn't matter that Kouhi is...was Hotaru's daughter. She kidnapped my friends and tried to kill us.


"I'm sorry," I bowed my head and put the picture away.


"It's alright. That's a lesson I learned during this fight with Kouhi. Kouhi was one of my best friends," she paused for a second. A small smile on her lips as if she was remembering the good times with Kouhi, "When she turned on us...me it hurt. I hesitated to kill her, but Corrin reminded me that no matter who the enemy is they're still the enemy."


"Is that why you sent Lily and Peaches to exterminate Kouhi?"


"No," a small frown appeared on her face, "I originally meant to send Lily and Destiny, Myou's daughter, But Peaches demanded to go," she sighed, "she's stubborn. Just like you," she smiled at me teasingly. I stuck my tongue out at her, "Real mature," she rolled her eyes, "When we started to fight against Kouhi, she retreated back to the colony of L6, because she knew that we couldn't get to her castle without entering the colony. If we did that the inhabitants would probably kill us before we could get there. So we had to send our daughters and the Gundam Pilots because they weren't as well known and probably could sneak into L6, which they did."


"Weren't you afraid for Peaches?"


"Deadly afraid. If my baby girl didn't come back to me I don't know what I would have done. Peaches is my miracle child. They said I wouldn't be able to have kids, but..." she trailed off rubbing her stomach as she got lost in thought.


"And here you are having twins none the less," I smiled. She nodded distractedly. Her breathing became a little erratic, "You okay?" she closed her eyes for a second as if to stop the pain, "Should I call someone?"


"No...I'm okay...just some Broxton Hicks," she smiled at me reassuringly. I sat down nervously. I didn't want her to have the baby with only me here, "What is going on between you and Heero?"


I blushed forgetting about the previous incident, "Nothing," I lied.


"Really because it seemed like something to me. Hotaru said she suspected something going on between you two."


"Well...I think I'm in love with him," I whispered softly. She smiled and nodded, "I know it sounds rushed and all but I'm a believer of love at first sight."


"Heavens knows I'm not," she snorted and shook her head. I arched my eyebrow at her.


"What's your father like?"


"Myou would kill me if I told you. She's worse than Setsuna-san," Heika shook her head fondly.


"You don't have to tell me...just have I met him yet?"


"Yes and No," what the hell?


"That's not an answer."


"Yes it is," I sighed giving up. She's been hanging out with Setsuna's daughter for to long.
