Hotaru woke up at around noon. The sun was at it's highest, and the sound of exotic birds filled the air. She stirred and stood up, her night gown reaching past her toes. As she walked towards the large doorway. Opening it softly she saw the long green hair of the Time Goddess, shift back in forth.
"Setsuna?" She whispered, her voice hoarse from so much crying. She'd only slept and hour or so, so she was very tired.
Setsuna didn't seem to notice and was soon joined by a teal haired beauty. "Setsuna, have you talked to Serena lately?"
"No," Setsuna sighed. The two friends walked out of site.
As Hotaru went to follow them she stepped in something wet. Backing up and looking down she saw an asortment of droplets. *Tears.* Her eyes widened. Perhaps sometime while she slept Yaten had visited her. *Yaten... but he's never emotional, at least not that much.* He never cries, or so she thought.
Slowly she closed her door and decided to get dressed. She chose a black short shorts and a purple (an: very skippy) tanktop that revealed her cleavage. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and tied up her long black hair. The sunbeams bounced off her body, and her shadow appeared on the floor.
For a moment she saw some elses shadow. A young girl with short hair and a short skirt. She was lost and all alone. The figure was completely black except for the violet eyes that glared back at her. And then an even younger girl ran up to her and through her arms around her. She laughed and called her name, "Hotaru..." "Hotaru..." The voice became more faint. "Hotaru..." The voice was almost gone. *Chibi-Usa...*
"Hotaru!" A cheerful voice called her name. "Hey princess, you up yet?" Haruka peeked her head into her room. "Good you are!"
"Yep!" Hotaru smiled back and then turned back to her shadow, the two young girls were gone. She felt a tear creep down her cheek. *I wish is could talk to you.*
Haruka's arms went around Hotaru's shoulders. "Hey... I know you miss Chibi-Usa.
But you have to hold your head high. And..." she whispered closer to her ear. "Get the one you love..."
There was a long pause in her voice. Hotaru sighed and then was lifted into the air in the arms of her friend. "Ruka!?"
"Come on let's go see Mi-chan burn toast, and Suna get egg in her hair." They both laughed as Hotaru was now on Haruka's back.
She laughed and held on for dear life....

Later that night, Hotaru walked the halls endlessly. Past Kakuya's chamber and Seiya's room were there came loud snoring. Peeking in she saw Seiya in his boxers with half his body drapped on the floor. The sheets were all over the place and his pillow was beneneath him. He whispered something that sounded like, "Oh Serena!" She giggled a little bit and continued to walk towards an unknown destination.
She found herself looking down on a peacefully sleeping handsome man. His room was silent except for their soft breathing. That's when he pulled her to him, in one swift movement of his hand. Suddenly his eyes snapped open.
