New Dimensions Episode 6
"Hotaru?"
"Oh my goodness! Ami is that you?" Hotaru yelled through the telephone.
"Yeah."
"Ami! Where have you been? Are you ok? Who kidnapped you?"
"Cool it! I'm fine. I finally found a place to stay so I don't have to live off of your money. I want you to come by so that you can check out the place." Ami didn't sound like her usual cheerful self. At least Hotaru didn't think so.
"Ami are you ok?" Hotaru asked worriedly.
"Yeah I'm fine. Can you come over? I mean, you don't have any missions to do... do you?"
"Uhm... actually I do. I have a date with a super model. Aeris wants him dead."
"Who?"
"Carter Bovée."
"Why?"
"I don't know why but I guess I'll go over your place when I'm done." Hotaru said writing on a piece of paper.
"Hotaru... how can you... how can you talk about assassination like it's nothing? If they catch you committing homicide---"
"Who's they?"
"I don't know... investigators, police! What if they catch you?"
"They are not. Don't worry. So I'll be over at your place at like around, eight ok? Give me the address."
"Uhm... lets just meet at the library okay? At the front." Ami said. Her voice began to choke at that part.
"Are you sure you are okay?"
"Yeah! Yeah I'm fine, my throat is just... it's just dry." Ami muttered.
"All right. See you later." Hotaru hung up and looked at her watch. It read six thirty p.m. Hotaru cursed herself and got ready to kill.

"Did you get it?" Quatre asked Trowa.
Trowa pulled out a CD from a compartment coming out of the telephone. "The whole conversation." He said. Then tried to comfort a crying Ami saying, "You are doing the right thing."
Ami was now on her knees crying her heart out. She looked at her hands and said out loud, "How can I... betray my friend like that! She doesn't have a past, she doesn't know who she is! How can I do that! Why did I do it!"
"You are doing the right thing." Trowa said once again. Quatre placed a hand on Ami's shoulder and they both left the room.
Ami heard Trowa say, "Duo, call the police and get bodyguards immediately over at Carter Bovée's place. It's where the violet will be next."
Ami felt a sudden pain in her heart, as if a violet just pierced it. Ami grabbed on to the leg of a table and began to cry out loud.
***
Hotaru sat in the steps of a library. She was staring at her feet with an unreadable expression on her face.
"Hey." She heard an oh-so familiar voice say.
Hotaru looked up and saw Ami standing there. Hotaru then looked at her watch which read, '9:07 P.M,' She looked up at Ami once again.
"Hey." Hotaru said back as she walked up to Ami.
Ami brought both of her hands close to her heart and said, "Hotaru I---"
Hotaru was cut off because Hotaru was now hugging her saying, "I missed you so much. Thank goodness you are all right."
Ami could feel her heart slice in two. She felt so dirty about what she did to Hotaru, telling the boys of who she was. Tears fell from her eyes and on Hotaru's leather jacket. (AN we all know what she's wearing. The same outfit she wore when she went to get the disks from Heero's room. Yeah, that one.)
"I want you to know," Hotaru continued, "That whatever happens, we will always be friends."
"That's good to know." Ami said softly as she returned Hotaru's hug. When they parted, Ami said, "Well uhm... lets go to my place. I have some home made pizza for us to eat all right?"
Hotaru shrugged. Now she had that unreadable expression on her face once again. That expression killed Ami because now Ami couldn't see whether Hotaru did go to kill the supermodel or whatever.
"So uhm... did you kill Renée?" Ami asked worriedly.
"I never did go." Hotaru said checking her pager on her belt, which just vibrated. "Aeris told me not to. She said she had a feeling that someone other than Renée was there so I never went. I waited for you instead. You were late."
"I'm sorry. I just figured since the amount of time I gave you to kill someone and then meet me here, I just thought you would be kind of late but I was wrong." Ami said, trying to read Hotaru's expression.
"What?" Hotaru asked finally noticing Ami staring at her.
"Nothing." Ami said.

As Sailor Pluto looked through her time gate at the happenings, she was holding a bottle of an icy green substance. It was a small thing that was smaller than the nail of her thumb.
"Things aren't going as planned." She said to herself. She heard her voice echo.
***
"Well... here we are." Ami said sadly. She walked to the living room. There were five boys sitting there.
"I'll be back. I'm going to bring some drinks. Make yourself at home Hotaru." Ami said tossing the keys on a table near a chair and making her way towards a different room, which was most likely, the kitchen.
When Hotaru walked inside living room and saw five boys seated there, all completely quiet. The silence bothered Hotaru. She didn't know who these men were and there was no place to sit either.
"Here." Said the blond one standing up and giving room for Hotaru.
"You must be Hotaru... you know Ami tells us so much about you." The blond boy continued.
Hotaru lifted an eyebrow as she examined his face slowly. He looked so familiar. Hotaru looked around her and saw all of the boys. They all looked familiar. Hotaru stared especially at a boy with messy hair and nearly gasped. He was the one Hotaru was supposed to steal the disk from.
When Heero saw her eyes widen when she saw him, he remembered her as that girl that they made fun of years ago at a slumber party and he had a small memory of a girl stealing his disks and leaving a single violet. He knew she was the strange assassin. But how did she get so many years in the future?
Heero looked at her indifferently and looked away. Hopefully she wouldn't notice that any of these boys knew her.
Hotaru looked at her lap, hoping that Heero wouldn't notice her. 'Damn it, what do I do now?' Hotaru asked herself in her mind.
As Ami entered her kitchen, she gasped when she saw a transformed Setsuna standing there.
"Pluto."
"Ami things aren't going as planned. Hotaru was supposed to be trained to reach her limit only when she is angry because it will come in handy sometime later. Since it is such a small world and so many circumstances won't let you train her, I came up with this potion for her. Just pour it in her drink and give it to her."
Ami took the potion from Setsuna's hands. It was so small.
"Setsuna?" Ami asked puzzled.
"Now there might be some side effects. She might get some of her old memory back and she might have an upset stomach afterwards. She might vomit but nothing major will happen so don't be afraid to give it to her. Just make sure to keep an eye on her after she drinks it. If she vomits, it means that the medicine is working. I'll be going now." Setsuna said and with that, she was gone.
Ami looked at the small potion in her hand.
***
"Here you go. This is for you, this one if for you. Here you go Heero, your lemonade. And Quatre, this one is yours. And here you go Hotaru." Ami said handing the last one to Hotaru. The lemonade holding the potion.
Hotaru took it and looked down at her lap once again. She saw some green in her lemonade but Hotaru didn't care. She hadn't drunk anything in the whole day. She gulped down the liquid.
"So Hotaru, what do you do for a living?" A boy with a braid asked.
Hotaru looked at her lap and instantly she felt a sharp pain on her forehead. She closed her eyes tightly and gritted her teeth.
"Hotaru?" The braided boy asked again.
"I... uh... I... do stuff." Hotaru managed to say through her pain. She looked at Ami and said, "May I be excused?"
Ami looked at Hotaru. She wanted to hug Hotaru and tell her what she had done but since she couldn't, she only nodded and said, "Two doors to your left."
"Thanks." Hotaru said and slowly got up from her chair. Then, as she shut the door of the bathroom, she began to vomit. (AN *shudders*. That's my biggest fear. Vomit and big gashes on skin which is why I don't watch those hospital shows.)
Ami looked at her hands, which were in fists on her lap.
"Wow, Hotaru is hot." Duo finally noticed. "I feel bad." He began to play with the tip of his braid.
"You should. I can't believe I'm doing this. She's my best friend and she doesn't know any better." She thought for a second and then said in a quivering voice, "It's not fair. It's... it's just not fair for you guys to kill her when her spirit... her emotions have already been killed. She doesn't know any better!" Ami looked up, tears in her eyes.
Hotaru had already finished vomiting. It came out in one giant hurl and she had already washed her mouth out and sprayed some air freshening spray to rid the bathroom of the smell of chunks. She was standing next to the doorway, listening to everything.
"You know we have no choice." Quatre said sadly. "Believe me I don't want to kill someone."
"Then why should you? You know that Hotaru is just a lost child at heart who needs someone to love her. Why should you get rid of an innocent life?"
"Because we have no choice." Duo said loudly this time. Ami looked down.
Heero caught sight of Hotaru and Hotaru caught sight of Heero. 'Damn it, he saw me.' Hotaru thought sadly. She stood straight and walked inside the living room.
Ami looked at Hotaru and said, "Hotaru! How long have you been standing there?"
Hotaru looked at Heero. He kept glaring at her with no expression on his face. Immediately Hotaru knew that he was going to try to take her down so she quickly turned around and tried to run.
Heero pulled out a gun and shot up towards the ceiling hoping that Hotaru would get startled and fall but to his dismay, she didn't. It was Ami who curled herself into a ball and screamed. Hotaru kept on running towards the doorway but Heero jumped and landed on his stomach and caught Hotaru's ankle.
Hotaru fell to the floor face first. Heero pulled her towards him and pulled out a pocketknife and brought it up to her neck. "You move and I'll move." He mumbled slowly.
Hotaru looked at Heero shocked at what he might do. Will he really kill me? Hotaru thought scared but she tried not to show it.
Heero glanced down at Hotaru's stomach. To his surprise, it was rising slowly, as if she was calm. His heart began to beat as he watched. He gulped.
Hotaru saw he was distracted and with her free hand she smacked Heero knife right out of his hands and flipped backwards. He pulled out a gun and aimed it at her but her gun was already out and she shot it out of his hand. He grabbed his wrist.
Hotaru ran towards the door, but not without taking one last look at Ami. This was a look that Ami had never seen Hotaru make before and a look that she will never forget. It was the look of sadness and it was on Hotaru's face. This broke Ami's heart.
As Hotaru stared into those deep blue eyes that belonged to this mysterious young man, he slowly, ever so slowly, moved his hand towards hers. "Its about time Firefly." He said softly as their hands came closer to each other's. Hotaru showed fear.
br"Will you hurt me?" Hotaru asked, fear all over her voice as the words stumbled out from her lips.
brThe boy's hand stopped moving just about four inches from Hotaru's. "I might hurt you." He said softly once again. Hotaru's hand went to her heart and tears fell.
~*~
"I guess that that incident means that some people just can't be trusted." A very feminine voice told Hotaru. "Want a lollipop?"
Hotaru shook her head. "No thanks."
Aeris shrugged. "Whatever."
Hotaru looked down. "I thought she was my friend."
"Hotaru there are just some people in life that will betray you. Not all people you meet are going to automatically be your friend. You know that right?"
There are just some people in life that will betray you. Not all people you meet are going to automatically be your friend.
These words echoed in Hotaru's mind. She felt dizzy. There are just some people in life that will betray you. Not all people you meet are going to automatically be your friend. Hotaru covered her ears to try to stop the echoing. She fell out of her chair and curled herself into a ball. "Aeris... Aeris help me." Hotaru mumbled slowly.
A small smile appeared at the corners of the boys' mouth. He looked so sure of himself and Hotaru felt so safe around him. The next thing she knew, he grabbed her hand and pulled her up to her feet. A stinging pain shot through her arm first and then through all of her body. Hotaru screamed in pain and tried to yank her arm away from his firm grasp. The boy though, didn't let her go. Instead, he pulled her towards him and into a warm hug that was supposed to be comforting. Hotaru screamed even louder this time. So loud that she lost her voice. His arms around her small and frail body wasn't supposed to feel like this. Hotaru's hands were resting on his chest and she cried on her hands as the stinging pain began to increase. She opened her eyes slightly, tears falling without her even blinking. From the corner of her eye she thought she saw five girls and four guys--- all of them unknown to her but they all disappeared right before her eyes. Hotaru continued to cry and the young man only stroked her hair softly, whispering, "It will be ok. Just hold on to me." Hotaru hugged the boy and continued to cry.
Hotaru was tossing and turning on the floor while Aeris was trying to hold her still. When she was finally able to grab her shoulders and pin them to the floor, Hotaru began to shake her head screaming, "No! No don't touch me! It hurts! Help me!"
"Hotaru! Hotaru I'm taking you to a hospital! Hotaru?"
Hotaru opened her eyes slightly to see Aeris get blurry and stretch this way and that. Then she closed her eyes and saw what she thought was a violet field and a group of teenagers. One girl with dark red hair, two others with blond hair and the last two with green and brown hair. And then the guys who were also as strange and distant to her just as much as the girls were.
