"I'm scared." Hotaru whispered to Haruka. She smiled. "I'm pregnant." She said quietly, yet loud enough for everyone else to hear. Haruka looked down at her 'daughter' and sighed. 'I wish it hadn't happened. Now my poor baby has to suffer and only watch as things happen. But maybe it'll be better this way.'

"Taru." Serena squealed. She hugged Hotaru and giggled lightly. "I'm so happy for you."

Michiru stood. "Come on everyone. Let's leave Hotaru to rest." She motioned for them to go. But before she left she leaned down and kissed Hotaru on the check.

Haruka hugged her little girl then followed Michi out. Serena waved as she and Seiya escorted her out. Taiki left with Kakuya and Setsuna. Soon everyone but Chibi-chibi and Yaten were out of the room.

"I'm here." Chibi-chibi said sweetly. "Don't worry, I'll help you."

"Hai. Thank you." The little girl scurried out leaving the two alone.

(An: Sorry bout the whole name thing w/ Kerri/Kalli. Her real name is Kerri, k?)

"Thank you." Lita mumbled over her glass of some juice. "What is this?"

"It's Burble berry juice."

"Okay." Lita and Kerri sat together in the small living room, which they were now having lunch in. "So you think my friends are in the palace?"

"Yes I do. We'll go there in a few days. You need time to get better."

"Demo…"

"But nothing, you need to rest."

"I need to warn them."

"Alright. We'll go tomorrow."



*****************************************************

Yaten was staring out the window, and not saying a word. This of coarse made Hotaru all the more nervous. "Yaten?" He didn't answer. "Yaten?" Still nothing. "Yaten?" Hotaru sighed. "FOR ONCE WILL YOU THINK OF SOMEONE OTHER THEN YOURSELF!!!! I HATE THAT ABOUT YOU, YOU ALWAYS PUT YOURSELF BEFORE OTHERS!!!!!" Hotaru threw her hands over her mouth, not believing she'd just said that out load.

Yaten spun around with an incomprehensible look on his face. "You think I wasn't putting another before myself when I searched for my princess? When I told you I loved you, wasn't I putting you feelings before mine?"

Hotaru stared wide-eyed at him. She let her hand drop from her lips and a growl escape them. "How dare you! First of all the only reason you wanted to find your princess was so you could go home and get away from earth. Secondly, if what you just say is true, you don't really love me! I don't need to hear it again, I'm leaving your silly palace and living on my own!" She stood and ran out of the room.

He watched her go. "Jerk."



(An: Shall I end this here…….)

(An: I'm not that mean.)

"I'm such a total jerk." He let a single tear roll down his creek. "I hurt her worse then anyone else, I told her I didn't love her when I really do."

"And now it's to late." An evil laugh came from behind him. Yaten spun to stare at a man…

"Akuma….."

****************************************

Hotaru ran as fast as her feet could carry her. Finally she couldn't take anymore and collapsed into sobs. She curled up in a ball and cried until her cheeks turned red, her clothes wet, and her eyes dry.

"Now now Tenshi no Shi, that was nothing compared to what I'll do to you." A voice said. She whipped around and stared into the eyes that held hell in their depths.

She spit his name out with venom "Akuma."



************************************************



(Two hours later.)

"They must be done talking by now." Haruka glanced at Michiru

"Hai."

"I'm going to see her."

"Hai."

"Koi?"

"Hai."

"Are you coming?"

"Hai."

Haruka and Michiru hurried into the room only to find it empty.

"Hotaru? Yaten?"

"There gone."

"Where?"

"Look at the wall Michi."

They both turned and read what was written in blood. 'I almost have the whole deck of tarot. The devil, the tower, the lovers. I only need the princess and the universe! Send me thus and I'll spare your lives.'

Haruka growled. "He has them both."
