Hi again. Angel here. Sorry for taking so long before I posted this. I've been super busy as of late but hopefully I won't take so long to post again. Ja ne for now!





"It's almost dawn." Hotaru mused. "The others will come and find us soon."

"That's what I'm afraid of." Yaten groaned thinking about what the Outers would do to him. ~Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna are gonna kick my a**~

"Yaten." She looked down at him again. Her body was bathed in the dawn's light, making her look like an angel.

"Hotaru." His green eyes softened, "You really are an angel. Even if it is of the night."

(An: Mushy and OOC alert. Fast forward if you don't like either.)

"Yaten, I thought you didn't want anyone close to you." She whispered.

"I can change my mind." He leaned up and kissed her gently. And at that moment Haruka and Michiru chose to come out of their room.

"Kou! Why you little. Get-Away-From-My-Princess!" Haruka screamed. She flung Taru off of him and he stared wide-eyed up at the scout of wind.

"He's dead isn't he?" Seiya asked walking up to the group. Hotaru glared at him, then got an idea.

"Ruka-papa." She called. "It was Seiya's idea for Yaten to do that." She told her. Haruka turned and sent a death glare at Seiya. He eeped and ran away as fast as his feet could carry him.

Michiru ran after them, crying for Ruka to stop, which left Hotaru and Yaten alone, once again. Now free from under her, and seeing her on the floor staring up at him, he walked over and picked her up. "You know Seiya's going to hate you for that?" He chuckled. Hotaru smiled, she liked the sound of his laughter. ~Why do I have to be in love with an arrogant jerk who's the cutest guy I've ever seen? ~

"I know." He carried her back to her room and kicked open the door.

"Rest, since you didn't get much last night." He said turning to go.

"Yaten." Her voice stilled him. "Thank you." He turned back and leaned down. Placing a light kiss on her lips he smiled.

"Rest." With that he left. Hotaru stared at the door that had just swung closed.

On the other side, Yaten stood, staring off into space. ~Why do I feel like this? Why am I so nice to her? Is she really that special that I'd risk getting close to her? I hate not knowing! ~ He sighed and glanced at the closed door at his back.

"Who are you? The goddess of death? Or the angel of passion? Somehow, I think both."

He walked away from her room leaving something behind. His heart…….

(An: Shall I stop………….)























(An: Nope)



Serena opened her eyes and looked over at the window. A small dove sat on the ledge. "They say dove's are bringers of peace and light. I wish I could be a dove." She stared wistfully at the small bird.

Getting up from the bed, she walked over to the window carefully. "Hello little creature." She said. It cooed back and flew off. "Bye." She watched it soar away, the white bird disappearing into the sky.

"You like doves?" A voice called from below. Serena looked down and found Kakuya standing on one of the garden paths. "Good morning." She called up.

"Hello." Serena said waving.

"Would you like to join me? I was about to go to one of my favorite parts of the garden and have tea." Kakuya smiled warmly.

"Hai, I'd like that." Serena hurried to go dress. She ran through the halls and took the steps two at a time. Five minutes later she arrived, panting, next to Kakuya.

They smiled at one another. "Look." Kakuya said, pointing towards a window. Hotaru sat staring off into the sky, her voice rang out in song.



Beauty is

As beauty does

Dark and light are one

The day night work together

Under the moon and sun

A perfect balance

Unity

One, they are one

A river does not run

Without the hills to guide it

The fire does not burn

Without the air to ignite it

Beauty is

As beauty does

No one knows eternity

Does it really last forever

Or until the end does come

Are we in love

Or just pretending

A great façade of life

Does death come as an end

Or is it a beginning

Does silence really mean forever

Or is it the void of sound

Do we belong here

Or were never meant to be

Is beauty there

Or something people want to see

Beauty is

As beauty does

Or is it beauty does

As beauty is



Hotaru finished the last verse and happened to glance down. "Oh, I didn't see you there." She sighed.

"You have a pretty voice Taru." Serena said.

"Thanks Ser."

"Come join us?" Kakuya asked.

"I would like that."
