Haruka raced home. She never thought she could go this fast, but the way Setsuna looked, this must of been a threatening situation. At least she knew Michiru was fine, considering she was calm with her arms around Haruka's torso.
They sped off through the dark woods, down a dirt path. Until they came to a very large house. Not as big as a mansion, but large nonetheless. Haruka parked in front of the door and dove for the porch. She ripped open the door and proceeded up the stairs and around two right corners until she came to her 'daughters' room. She violently opened the door and walked in.
There in the dark room lay an unconscious Hotaru. She looked the age of 16, maybe 15. Her hair was now past her shoulders. Next to her was a worried Setsuna. She had a motherly look that she only used around Hotaru.
Haruka locked gazes with Setsuna for what seemed to be forever. They seemed to pass an understanding between them. Their gazes broke when Michiru came in, and immediately ran to her 'daughters' other side to check on her.
Suddenly, a pair of beautiful, violet eyes fluttered open. ' OH! This isn't good!' she thought to herself. ' Everything was perfect... all the peace was restored... why have I grown?' Hotaru slowly sat up to see she was still in her room . Her Setsu-mama, Michi-mama, and Ruka-papa were all there looking at her like she just came back from the dead.
"What? I don't even know what's going on!" she said. Her voice, an hour ago, was a hyper, giddy, child voice. Now it was a deep, rich, but soft melodic tune. Whenever Hotaru grew, her knowledge overpowered her body. She was always wiser beyond her years but now it was different. She didn't even have an explanation for growing.
Michiru sighed in relief- partially. She was glad Hotaru didn't have a particular reason for growing, but that other half of her was nervous... what was going on? Was someone in danger? Was their princess in danger?
Everyone seemed to be thinking the same thing, so Hotaru took the chance to state, "Well there's nothing we can do if we don't know what's wrong, so we better start making adjustments... such as my schooling??"
Her 'parents' nodded.
*At Rei's temple*
Rei was sweeping the front steps of the Hikawa temple. She swept a couple more times and then stopped to watch the setting sun. 'Wow, this was a long day.' she thought, 'That guy I met.... he was so mysterious.... but I can tell there's something about him that's so secretive. It was in his eyes...'
The sun seemed to set quicker than usual. Even a couple of stars were shone in the sky. Rei could spot a very faint Mars. She could always see Mars.
She decided to go inside. Today was so slow, and now it seemed to speed up. She put her broom away and proceeded to the fire reading room.
She lit a fire and started to meditate. While she meditated she poured her feelings out from earlier that day. About how worried she was for Hotaru's sake and who that man she met really was. When she was done, she felt better, more relaxed. She started to say a prayer when she felt dizzy and shuddered from the frightening feelings. She was having a vision.
*VISION*
She saw crystalline eyes and blood stained golden blond hair. The face was shadowed, but the white dress was more of a crimson red, blood red.
A massacre! It was a massacre! Something horrible was going on and no one had the faintest clue as to what was happening.
A crystal..... it was black.... the colour of evil.
A puddle of blood surrounded the woman.
"Gomen-nasai, demo aishiteru......" was the sound that echoed in her mind. It was deep, demo a quiet voice. A man's voice.
A FLASH!!
A bright, blinding white light flashed through everything. the woman, the crystal.
And then..... everything was gone.
Black...
It was all black, empty, dark.
The smell..... death was the aroma.
Nothing.....
*END OF VISION*
Rei snapped her eyes open and screamed. What did the dream mean? Why was it haunting her? She quickly stood up and ran to her room.
'I have to get out of here!' she thought, 'I need some air!'
She quickly changed her clothes and ran to the one place she always felt comfortable to visit... the abandoned 'school of martial arts'.
She would always go there. Ever since the owner died. She knew the owner to. His name was Desuchini Sensai. It meant Destiny. She once asked why his name was Destiny, and he always answered with, "Everyone's life has a purpose, we all have a destiny. This building is my destiny."
A few years later he died, when Rei was 10. She cried for three days straight. He was like her father she never had. She vowed to herself that the building would be used for a good reason. Someday.
She stepped through the invisible door, as she liked to call it, considering there was no door. She walked into the training room first. Rei didn't have the right clothing to train so she went out the back. No one knew about the back yard. It only appeared to be a big vine fence. Save the hidden door attached to it.
Rei slid a rusty latch to the side and pushed the 2x4 forward. She gasped. 'it's even more beautiful than the last time I visited.' she thought. Though it truly was. There was a large gondola in the middle, which was decorated with grape vines. All around the gondola were willow trees, flower beds, and a lot of rose bushes. There was a swing set as well. There also seemed to be a type of maze which led to a gazebo. But Rei's favourite spot was the lake. It was such a beautiful cerulean blue, from the lack of pollution. The best characteristic was the view of the moon, which becomes a beautiful sunrise.
Rei remembered mastering the skill of rock shaping. She made her first rock chair! She did it with Desuchini Sensai. He loved rock shaping, demo he loved the view of the moon just as much, so he made rock chairs to sit upon while watching the mystic moon.
Rei sat in 'her' rock chair and deeply sighed. Life was much too confusing. Especially her life. Being a sailor senshi and princess wasn't easy! She realized she had changed a bit since the battle with Chaos. She had become more quiet and colder, but she also had learned to control her temper. Demo her passion for her culture hadn't changed. She loved being a priestess and mastering martial arts was just too perfect. Only there was one talent not too many people knew about. Painting.
She loved painting. Mostly of Mars and the Moon Kingdom. No matter what she painted, she always found the right colour.
Suddenly she sensed another presence. A movement caught her eye. She looked up to see a pair of onyx eyes staring right back at her. It was Wufei?
'What is he doing?' she thought, 'Is he following me?'
"Did you follow me onna?" Wufei asked. He had been watching the view of the stars appearing in the translucent sky.
He found this abandoned training building. It was really old. He walked outside for some fresh air, when he spotted a pile of broken vines on the ground to his right. Being a soldier, he checked it out and realized it was a door.... a hidden door. So he tested it. He slid the rusty latch and pushed the door forward and the dropped it again. Although the door did lock every time it closed, he knew he could leave no problem .
He found a semi-circle of rock chairs. However he liked to sit in trees anyways. It seemed to be relaxing, with the breeze flowing passed you carelessly.
Everything was fine, he was comfortable watching the moon quickly become a new source of light, when he heard footsteps.
On instinct he pulled his gun out, that he always kept. (AN: Where? I have no idea!!) And waited. Although he was surprised, he was slightly relieved it was just Rei. Rei??
He watched as she set herself down on a small rock chair. She was looking at the moon. Knowing that she didn't know he was there, he put his gun away. Wrong move.
She sensed this movement and found the reason why.
"That's funny, I was about to ask the same thing." she stated cooly and calmly.
He only grunted, and jumped out of the tree, he was about to turn and walk away but she stopped him with a question.
"How did you know about this place?"
"That's none of your concern." he sharply answered. Demo asked the same thing, "Why are you here, onna?"
"That's none of your concern." she mimicked.
All he could do was huff. Why he let onna's get away with remarks like that, had flown right past him.
They suddenly went into a disturbing silence. Neither of them knew what to say. It was so paranormal for kami-sama's sake!! They couldn't communicate right. When they did, they either disagreed or insulted each other.
"The moon's not happy tonight." Rei finally spoke up.
"How do you know that?" he asked looking at the moon and then back at her.
"Can't you see the patterns? The moon is shadowed when people have arguments." she said in monotone.
Wufei was surprised to hear her speak like that. He turned around to look at the moon again.
She was right though. The moon.... it was completely covered with dark clouds.
