Petra: 'ey, peeps! This is it, I've finally finished getting all the chapters out and done, I'm already working on the chapter six, and will have it out soon as long as nothing else gets in the way. This is really going where it wants to, when I started it, I really didn't have a plot in mind, so this is just happening, though I did have a general idea. I don't really like this chapter... it's kinda confusing...
Kati: O_o
Petra: Yeah... so... um... anyways... I just wanted to ask you peeps to tell me if you read something that doesn't make sense, or a spelling grammar, e-mail me what's wrong, I tried to check it over but... I'm only human!
DEDICATED: To everyone who lives for someone other than themselves.
WARNING: Shojo-ai and shonen-ai. It is definately hinted here that they are doing more than just kissing so, if you don't like that idea... um... well... you either got to stop or deal with it, sorry. Cussing, always cussing... *sigh* I hate writing these...

CHAPTER FIVE: TRAPS, PERVERTS, AND CAVES
"Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray." -Rumi
-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._
Pluto silently followed the boys, and was slightly unnerved when Wufei kept looking suspiciously behind him. 'Of course, if he has Rei's psychic abilities...' After that she cast a quick and easy spell that made her harder to see and diverted the eye from her presence. Pluto clutched her Time Key tightly, sensing the danger and suspense in the air, as she half walked, half ran silently behind boys, her feet barely brushing the ground each step. Her eyes focused on them as they stopped and all but Trowa walked inside a doorway to their left. As Trowa turned around Pluto quickly ducked into the shadows, no doubt in her mind that young man's strength could rival her own especially in her weakened state, if he saw her and caught her.
She started as five minutes later an alarm began to blare in her ears and red lights flashed brightly, causing her to quickly duck behind the corner to her left. She could hear soldier's footsteps thundering toward her and the young men in front moving about ready for attack. 'DAMN! I'm trapped!' She looked up quickly and saw the rafters high above her head.
'Easy jump!' she thought with a hidden chuckle as she used her wings and superhuman strength to jump atop the rafters. There she saw the young men talking and focused on them, listening to their conversation intently.
"Damn thing was a trap!" Duo cursed, viciously punching a wall causing a crack in the concrete.
"Duo-kun... stop..." Quatre pleaded, looking with pain at the American's bleeding fists. 'Hmm... appears Quatre has quite strong empathy...' Pluto made a mental note to herself for later analysis as a pained look crossed his face.
"Okay... okay..." Duo murmured, accepting the torn up cloth that had once been the Arabian's vest to wrap tightly around his hand.
Pluto's mind filled with a thousand escape plans and each was just as quickly dismissed. She was gazing unseeingly ahead when she noticed her Garnet Rod out of the corner of her vision, glowing slightly, beckoning her. Something clicked quickly in her mind and she allowed a small smile to cross her face. She would provide protecting; they could no doubt take down whatever was coming on their own what with the way they handled those guns but they would need protection. 'I do not want to help... I have not killed a real human being unless they were evil... and even then it did not feel right...' Pluto bit her lip as faces of things she had killed flickered through her mind. 'No... I do not agree with this useless killing, but all will be lost if I do not get them back! But maybe if I... it would take a lot of energy... but...'
Quickly she ran along the beams to where she could jump down behind them if need be and crouched, waiting. She didn't have to wait long as soon the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunfire and the sharp crack of the guns themselves. She watched with a critical eye and knew immediately that there was no chance they could win against these odds. They were going to get killed...
The sharp familiar feeling of loss flooded her senses as quickly the memory of all those mortal friends who had died came to mind. Sometimes... she hated being immortal... and wished for her own death... She shook herself out of it before quickly pointing the garnet rod that had been placed atop the large key at the soldiers. "Cronos Typhoon!" she called out, though she need not have said anything for now she could fire her attacks without words. This was more of a warning to the Senshi's sons than anything, plus the words gave her extra concentration that she sorely needed at the moment. Wind whipped through the hallways, momentarily blinding everyone but the young men and pushing the other soldiers back slightly. She hopped down behind the pilots silently; they were totally unaware of her presence at this point, but completely confused about the storm that was raging around them. It quieted down as she raised her garnet rod, now free from the staff, and held it in the air. Quickly a shield surrounded them, glimmering a slight black at the boys looked around each other in surprise, protecting them from the blind gunshots that were aimed at them.
Before any of the young men could fire at her or before the enemy saw her, she teleported out of the warehouse and into the forest where Uranus and Neptune were waiting. The young men blinked and looked around, confusion apparent on their faces. Heero again tried to shoot Saturn but it was merely deflected by an invisible shield.
"Heero-kun, are you trigger-happy or something?" Uranus asked, one eyebrow raised slightly in question.
Saturn rolled her eyes and turned to Pluto, who was letting the garnet rod float to back to its proper place on the time key. "Neptune went back to find us a safe place to stay for the night, we really need the sleep..." Saturn said with a half fake, half real yawn.
Pluto nodded in agreement and then turned, business-like toward the gaping young men. "Alright, Quatre-kun and Wufei-kun come here for a minute." They followed her command, though she caught Quatre sending a scared look back at Trowa. She smiled slightly, suddenly less imposing, and coaxed, "I will not hurt you, but you two have the strongest magic and I will need it to get us to somewhere safe."
They walked until they were in front of her and then stopped as Pluto raised her hand to touch both of their foreheads. Suddenly a bright blue Mercury symbol appeared on Quatre's while Wufei's head blazed with the symbol of the planet of fire. Pluto closed her eyes and connected to them, hearing their frightened thoughts running through their heads, burying all coherent thought.
{Do not worry,} Pluto Soothed and watched as they jerked in surprise. There was another mind in there too though, one that was connected to her through Quatre. It was Makoto's child's mind, connected along the unbreakable link of the red string of fate that tied them together. In fact, she now understood that, most likely, if she were to Look at Duo or Heero, she would probably find the same thing. {We are going to take some of your power. It will not hurt, but you will feel weak and need more sleep once it is over.} They both hesitantly agreed, still not sure how to use these powers they had just become aware of... well... Quatre had half way known his and Wufei had suspected...
Uranus and Saturn were already standing in their positions, making a triangle with the young men in the middle. {Wufei, stand between Uranus and myself; Quatre, between Saturn and myself.} They walked and hesitantly stood beside her, Pluto's empathy all but screaming the nervousness of the five young males. She delved into their minds and struck the cord causing calmness to filter through their bodies, smiling slightly as she Felt them relax. Pluto raised her hands in perfect sync with Uranus and Saturn, slightly to the front and side, palms facing each other, as they closed their eyes and raised their heads in perfect sync.
Normally, they wouldn't have gone through the familiar but unneeded moves, now they needed anything that would save energy and would help them concentrate. Then she Felt it, that spark that meant they were moving, that left you feeling as though you had left your stomach behind you.
Pluto opened her eyes to see that Michiru was smiling at them from the kitchen of the small cave that was located several million miles under the ocean, farther than any human could go. Pluto rolled her shoulders as she de-henshined with a thought; barely noticing the boy's faces that quickly rounded in shock. Uranus and Saturn followed suit, both laughing slightly at the young men's comic faces, while Haruka went to lie on the couch and Hotaru went to over to kiss Michiru on the cheek, murmuring, "I am going to go to bed now, Michiru-mama. Goodnight!" Michiru kissed Hotaru on the forehead before Hotaru skipped over to Setsuna who was sitting on a chair doing... "SKETCHES???!!! Setsuna-mama! You are horrible!" Hotaru cried, barely holding back her laughter.
"Goodnight to you too, Hotaru," Setsuna replied with a smile, kissing her on the cheek also.
"Haruka-papa!!!" Hotaru cried, sprawling herself on her Haruka's lap. Michiru and Setsuna both looked up from what they were doing and smiled, suddenly taken back to days long ago when Hotaru had only been a child, when everything had been like a dream...
"Hotaru, would you like something cool to drink before you doze off?" Michiru asked, watching as her lover tickled the only girl she had ever considered a daughter.
Hotaru looked up and nodded her head, somehow getting away from Haruka's prying hands. "Haruka-papa!" she managed to get out through her giggles. "Would you like a drink too?" At Haruka's nod she skipped over to Michiru, who was pouring into cups of some unknown drink. Hotaru took a sip, grinned, and then walked over, giving it to Haruka. "Now, go to bed, little one..." Haruka kissed her on the cheek affectionately before pushing Hotaru gently but firmly toward the bedroom. "Bed, Hotaru!"
Hotaru giggled but happily went to the bedroom. The three 'parents' watched their 'daughter' go with a smile before Setsuna went back to her drawings and Michiru to the meal. Haruka, however, got up and went over to the still stunned boys. "Come on, let us get you seated and then everything will be explained." Haruka pointed toward the couches. Trowa offered Quatre, who was almost knocked out from the unaccustomed power drainage, his arm but not before shooting the three women a dirty look. Wufei stumbled over without waiting for anyone's help and collapsed on the couch, letting his head fall back in exhaustion. Haruka glanced at them quickly before commenting, "Actually, I think that we shall wait. I believe Quatre-kun and Wufei-kun need rest as all of us do, we will leave the questions for tomorrow," she went over and pulled Wufei up, not even grunting when he leaned almost fully against her. "Setsuna, I know that they are strong, but we are stronger and can use our magic if need be. Would you mind helping Trowa-kun with Quatre-kun?" Setsuna quickly stood up and strode over to the two boys, Trowa shooting Setsuna a dirty look when Quatre's eyelids fluttered.
"Duo-kun and Heero-kun will be sharing a bedroom as will Quatre-kun and Trowa-kun, Wufei-kun's room will be in-between you pairs," Haruka explained, ignoring the surprised and blushing faces of the boys. "If you want to sleep you may, but if you are not tired dinner will be ready in a few moments."
-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._
Michiru leaned against Haruka with a tired sigh as she felt the reassuring presence of her soulmate behind her. "Are any coming to dinner?" she asked, stirring the stew a little.
"I believe that Duo-kun and Heero-kun will, but I do not think Trowa-kun will, he is still worried over Quatre-kun," Haruka replied, wrapping firm arms around Michiru's slim waist. "Their threads of fate are very tight, they are most definitely soulmates."
Michiru laughed lightly as she commented, "Strange how they paired up like that, even though they do not know of their past."
"Fate works in mysterious ways," Setsuna's voice broke in, causing Haruka to smile. Kissing Michiru quickly on the lips, she let go of the woman with aqua hair and walked over, sitting beside Setsuna, a whispered discussion soon the only sound in the kitchen.
Michiru turned as she heard a loud voice carrying down the hall and into the room. In bounced Duo and a sullen, still quiet Heero, Duo heading over the to couch without hesitating a single second with Heero following after a moment.
"What're your names?" he asked, his wide violet eyes watching Michiru over the back of the couch. Haruka ignored the question and went to lie back on the couch while Setsuna left to continue with her work, designing new clothes for them to wear the next day. An idea of what the clothes would look like would help the woman to shape them from air.
Michiru, however, answered, "I am Michiru, that is Haruka on the couch, and the one at the table is Setsuna."
"Don't you have a last name?"
"We did, but later we did not need a last name anymore. Anyway, it just caused trouble when we went out. 'Kaioh-san, this, Kaioh-san that'! It really got quite annoying after a while."
"Why do you talk so weird?"
"Because, we learned that we had certain things that were expected of us. We had to change ourselves a bit to become what they wanted us to become."
"Where do ya come from?"
"A place called Crystal Tokyo." Michiru took some bowls out of the cabinets and poured stew in all of them, setting them on a tray after putting Setsuna's in front of the woman.
"There's no place called Crystal Tokyo here," Duo stated matter-of-factly as he took the stew from Setsuna who handed the other bowl to Heero.
"No... not here..." Michiru replied, handing Haruka her bowl as she sat down next to her lover.
Duo shoveled down his food, getting up for seconds quickly. "This is really good!"
Michiru smiled at the compliment and replied, "If you think mine is good then you should taste Makoto's cooking. It is quite a pleasure to eat."
A new voice interrupted, "There it is again. That name."
They looked up to see Trowa sitting down, a soup bowl held in his hand, untouched although Duo was already on his fifth helping. "I've heard the name before," Trowa said, looking at Michiru intently.
"You would remember. You are slightly older than the rest though. Sixteen if I am not mistaken..." At his surprised look she laughed before taking another sip of her soup. "But we will not discuss that until all of your comrades are in the shape to listen."
"Where are our Gundams?" Heero said, the first thing she had heard him say since they had come here.
"It talks..." Haruka mumbled from under her arm, where she was now trying to nap.
Michiru held back her startled laughter as she retorted, "If you cannot sleep here than you can leave to our room..."
Haruka gave her a wicked grin as she moved her arm. "Only if you join me."
Michiru let out an embarrassed squeak as her face turned red. "Pervert!" she cried, and Haruka uttered a curse as a pillow connected with her face. She pulled the pillow away from her face but got up, sending an extremely fake wounded look at Michiru as she walked away. Michiru merely raised her eyebrows.
Michiru turned back to Heero, ignoring Duo who was looking at them as though they were crazy and the stew as though it had something in it, and replied, "Your Gundams are in another part of this cave." She got up, noticing that Setsuna had gone to bed and, deciding that this might be a good idea, threw her bowl in the sink. "Oh..." she said, as she was just about to walk from the room, "And I would not try to escape, we are millions of miles under water." Then with a yawn Michiru went to her bedroom, three pairs of eyes following her movement...

I need you to EMAIL me, telling that you wish to sign up, and whether it's for ORIGINAL FICTION or FANFICTION. I WILL NOT accept those people that ask to be up on it in a review because I can't be sure that email is real. The mailing list will ALSO OFFER the TITLES of those works that I am posting, the COUPLES (if any) that are in it, which FANDOM it is from, and whether it is a SEQUEL to anything.

Petra: Like I said, hinting of more than kissing... I really don't like this chapter but... it's the best idea (sadly) that I had... ^_^; Maybe I'll revise it later...
Kati: Maybe...
