Hello! Chapter three has come around and…. ok I made the decision about the couples, well, one anyway. it's gonna be Heero/Hotaru. Duo and Hotaru are just gonna be good friends in this one, and don't worry about his love life.. I've got something up my sleeve. I have another story that I'm working on to, that's gonna be a Duo/Hotaru. I also have Quatre/Hotaru one but that's another story..
Same disclaimer, don't own gw or sm.
Same time, ages, ect….
Last time
" Hotaru I do remember us. But I don't know if I still feel that way for you. That tingle of romance didn't thrill my veins like it used to when I saw you again. I don't know what to say." -Duo
Present
Duo walked back into the mansion after saying this. He walked into the library were the rest had gathered, including Noin and Milliardo. He looked at them blankly, knowing he to like hotaru could tell them nothing about his past.
They looked at him as he took a seat uncomfortably and waited for the questions to come.
The first was from Heero. "Did you really know her in the past?"
Noin and Milliardo's ears perked up, as they had not heard this reveled earlier.
"I did yes. I knew her very well. But I can not elaborate anymore than that." He answered.
"Just like her. What is it you two are hiding? Can't you even tell us about the real Shinigami? Are you really the god of death?" Quatre asked.
Duo knew he shouldn't, but he nodded his head. 'there goes my somewhat normal
life. and to think I had almost
completely forgotten about my past existence. but I'm not sorry to remember hotaru, what we had was special, and even
if we were not meant to be together forever, it will always be a romance I will
treasure.'
Then he shook his head. "But forget about it. It's not a concern of yours. I must leave now." He said. much like Hotaru had.
But he didn't move to leave his chair. He merely disintegrated.
Everyone gasped. What was happening?
"I wonder what happened." Quatre said, the first to break the uneasy silence left by Duo.
"It's so unlike him to be quiet and tightlipped. Could he really be the Shinigami?
Was he just posing as the fun loving Duo." Trowa added.
Wufei didn't say anything he just grunted and walked out the door.
"I wonder what's wrong with him." Quatre said. Noin and Milliardo still had very confused looks on their faces.
"What do you mean Duo's the real Shinigami? How could he and Miss Relena have known each other in the past?" Noin asked first.
"It's like this Noin, that girl is not Relena, her names Hotaru, and she's a bunch of stuff, a princess, goddess, what ever. But she also claims to have been the past lover of the real Shinigami. Which Duo claims to be. They won't answer questions, so we don't really know what's going on." Heero said, still feeling irritated over Duo and Hotaru.
"Whoa Heero is that frustration I hear in you voice! Wow emotion!! You are human! That's good new's eh buddy?" Duo's voice came from the doorway of the room, giddy as always, like nothing had happened.
"Where'd you come from.. Or more to the point.. where did you go?" Milliardo growled. Duo rubbed his head and smiled a sly smile.
"Well, I couldn't really say." He answered. Noin just started crying, she could take it anymore, she was sad and angry, sad because of what happened to Relena, angry that she was so sad about it. Milliardo walked over to her and whispered something in her ear. She smiled slightly and they left together.
"Duo what's going on?" Trowa asked quietly.
Duo bowed his head. "Ok, I will tell you. But before I do let me introduce myself…..
My real name is.. Duo Maxwell, and I am a Gundam pilot, but I am also The god of Death, Shinigami." He announced, but no one was surprised, and he was not surprised.
"I was the lover of Hotaru Tomoe, Princess of Saturn, Goddess of Destruction, Death and Rebirth. In the past, one thousand years ago." This got their attention.
"We lived on Saturn, and we were very passionate. We were together for five years. Something happened, to this day I still don't know what, and I found Hotaru dead, with her Scythe, the one she carries as Sailor Saturn embedded in her stomach. I lived for a year after that, but had I become careless, I didn't really care about living anymore.
We were attacked, and I died. A thousand years ago…." The last words slipped through his lips. "Was it really that long… Now I have been reborn, but as a normal person, I no longer have power as the god of death." He finally reveled, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Hotaru doesn't know that you remember does she?" Heero asked.
"No she doesn't Heero. But…" Duo looked hard at Heero the corners of his mouth tipping up. "I plan on telling her." He could tell Heero was battling with his emotions.
"Oh." Was all Heero answered.
"I also plan on telling her that I no longer have the same feelings towards her that I used to." Duo told him.
Heero relaxed a bit, but still wasn't happy that Duo was able to read him that easily, former god of death or not.
"You love her, don't you Heero?" Quatre asked.
"Yep! He finally fell for the stalker!" That was Duo of course.
"But she still loves you." Heero replied forlornly.
"Well, no actually, she feels the same why I do. Buttt…. since she's on a mission I don't think she's gonna wanna discuss becoming an item with you quite yet….." Duo said in that pestering tone.
"Oh shut up Duo!" Heero said reverting to his usual monotone, but unlike the usual a slight smile was on his face, though so small it was almost undetectable.
~~~~~~~~~~Chang Place~~~~~~~~
Hotaru walked down the streets of Japan, scanning every girl with blonde hair keenly.
"Where is she Setsuna?" She asked of the air. As a reply she disintegrated.
Suddenly she stood before Sailor Pluto, and she was transformed into Sailor Saturn.
"Do you know where she is Pluto?" She asked.
"I have been searching the Time Lines, to see what happened to her at the end of the fight. From what it tells me she was born into a pacifist family who supports the Sanc Kingdom. (a.n is that spelled right?) She is currently a student of the St. Gabriele Institute." Pluto answered.
"What! You mean she was right under my nose?" Hotaru screeched.
"Yes, she's closer than you think. Her name in this world is Kalisto Mori."
With that closing statement A gray mist formed and the Time Gates disappeared along with Pluto, and she was once again plain Hotaru, standing at the front doors of the institute.
She closed her eyes and yawned. "Geeze it's been a long day. I really need some sleep.." She murmured and walked through door. (A.N. she opened it first, harhar)
But instead of going to her room and sleeping, she walked into the office(it's also her's when she was relena) and went to the student lists.
"M's, M's, M's….. ah here they are.. Kalisto..where are you…. room 245!" She answered for herself and took of at a jog for the stairs.
She reached room 245 in record time, and was soon knocking on the door, slightly out of breath. 'She had better be here.'
She heard a quiet giggle come from inside an she turned the knob, the door wasn't locked.
She poked her head in and saw a blonde with her hair cropped to the mid back laying back on a brown couch, and guy with black hair had his face pressed up into the back of her neck. Hotaru wasn't sure what he was doing.
She stepped in and cleared her throat.
