Disclaimer:
Hello everyone! It's the Flamesniper again. Of course, not
everyone knows me so allow me to introduce myself. I'm Lance the
Flamesniper. As my handle hints I'm a huge fan of a very firey pyro
princess named Sailor Mars. I've yet to write a story about her, but
that's beside the point. And, I'm rambling aren't I?
Anyway let's move on to the legal stuff that no one actually
reads, but makes all the lawyers stay away. I don't own Sailor Moon.
Naoko Takeuchi does. DiC or Cloverleaf (I think that the name of the
company, if not I appologize) owns the T.V. rights to it. I'm writing
this for fun, and am not making any money off it (No dollars, yen,
wampum, pounds or rubbles). It's just a short little story that
actually goes with my last story.
Oh, yes, almost forgot. (Ack! this is a long intro!) The
scouts will be using their North American names with one exception.
Sailor Pluto will be called Setsuna in my work (Mainly 'cause Trista
just sounds...wrong for her). ^_^ Now then, on with the show!
Hotaru's Date pt3
by
Lance The Flamesniper
The Restaurant that Hotaru was looking at the entrance to was
impressive. Two stories tall with a ballroom and, if one wanted to endulge
luck, a game room. It was the newest restaurant in all of Tokyo. All Hotaru
could say was....
"Wow!"
James smiled and looked sideways at his date. "Impressive isn't it?"
"Very. But, this place looks expensive are you sure you want to...,"
Hotaru Trailed off as James took her arm.
"What I'm sure of is that I'm likely to be the envy of the clientelle
when we go in," he replied. That said he escorted his now blushing date to the
front door. The Host immediately stepped up to them.
"Welcome to Chez Martine. Table for two?"
"Yes please. On the balcony," James said with a smile.
"I'm sorry sir, but the balcony is full," Their host said.
"Not anymore," A man said approaching from nearby. "The 6:25 reservation
on Balcony table six called and canceled."
"Again?" The Host sighed. "Very Well sir, ma'am please follow me," With
that the two were taken to their table and seated.
Drinks were then ordered. After much conversing they agreed to have
chicken Catchatori. While they waited Hotaru heard a phone ring. It turned out
that James had a cell phone.
"Hello?" James answered. "What do you mean where am I?.... I told you,
I have a date..... I don't see where that's you're business.....No, I'm pretty
sure she's not .....No, I won't ask her that.... Look, we'll discuss this when
I get home okay?.... Yes, I'll have a good evening."
When James hung up the phone he looked over to Hotaru. She looked back
at him then at the phone. "Who was that?"
"Oh, no one important. Just Athena."
Hotaru narrowed her eyes "And just WHO is Athena?"
Sensing he might be in hot water, he opted to tell the truth or at least
the closest thing to it without sounding insane. "Athena's kinda like a gardian."
"Oh, like the two that take care of me?"
"In a way, yes I suppose very much like them."
"Mind if I call my 'parents'?" Hotaru said with a touch of mischief in her
voice...
*****
Michelle sighed as she watched Amara pace. She'd been at it since Hotaru
and James left. Finally she decided to speak up. "Love, if you keep that up, you're
likely to dig a hole to lake Eerie in North America. If Setsuna says our princess is
in good hands then she is."
"Yeah? Well I'D be content if the So-called Guardian of Time would explain
HOW she was so sure."
Suddenly, Setsuna wished she was somewhere other than here. "Just a...
feeling I guess."
"A feeling? A feeling?! Well that's REAL re-assuring...," Just then the
phone rang and Amara answered. "Yes"
"Amara-father," Hotaru's voice came across.
"Hotaru! where are you? Are you okay?" This brought a concerned look from
the other two Scouts in the room.
"I'm fine 'Father'. James took me to Chez Martine."
"Chez Martine!!" Amara growled her eyebrow going into rapid twitch mode.
"Yes, he's such a gentleman and a cutie too. Well dinner's being served
see you later! CLICK!"
"Well?" Setsuna asked
"I think I'm going to kill him. 'Cutie' or not," with that Amara resumed
pacing.
Meanwhile Michelle leaned over to Setsuna and whispered. "I think our
princess likes this one."
Setsuna smiled and merely nodded.
"I heard that," Amara hissed.
****
"So, where are you from?" Hotaru asked as she took another bite of
chicken.
"I have no idea. My parents died when I was young and up until Athena found
me, I don't remember much else.
Aside from a trust fund, they left me with nothing else.
"That's so sad," Hotaru said with a slight sniffle.
"Hey, now princess, no tears for me. Tonight's all about you."
"You're trying to spoil me aren't you?" Hotaru
asked with a playful smile.
"Ooh, looks like I'm busted,"James grinned back.
"Care to dance?"
"Yes..." Hotaru said as James guided her on to the floor.
As they danced Hotaru felt a lot of eyes on her. The feeling was not
unpleasant but it was a little unnerving. She also heard a lot of whispering. Yet in
some way that she couldn't explain, she felt this was familiar somehow.
"Do you hear them, Hotaru? They're all talking about you. Wondering just who
the angel is and how I got so lucky as to have her as dance partner," James said his
violet eyes looking into her equally violet eyes.
The two danced for several hours then left the Restaurant. James drove them
carefully back to her house then sat on the hood of his corvette staring at the moon.
Out of the corner of his eye he watched Amara glare at him through the window. "Say
Hotaru, do you think there was ever life up there? On the moon I mean?"
Hotaru smiled and snuggled closer to her date. "Of course there was. Why?"
"Just curious I guess," James replied as he watched the moon and put his arm
around Hotaru's shoulders. "You know your 'father' made me promise to some really
Impressive rules before we left."
"Oh she did huh? What were they?"
James Told her and Hotaru Laughed.
*****
"What is she Laughing for?" Amara muttered more to herself than anyone.
"Maybe he told her a joke. My look at how she's smiling, She must really
like him," Michelle said cheerfully.
"Blast! That means He'll want to go out on more dates with her," growled
Amara as the couple walked to the house.
Amara continued to watch them walk until they were at the door. The two
were exchanging pleasantries as Amara watched. Then Hotaru leaned in to kiss her
date...
Here we go a reason to beat him down! Amara though as she cracked her
knuckles.
Unfortunately at the last second James turned so she got him on the cheek
and at the same time gave Amara a wink that said 'Sorry, not beatings tonight.'
With that the couple parted and Hotaru walked in.
"So, how was your date princess?" Michelle asked.
Hotaru sighed dreamily. "It was perfect. And he wants to come by again
next weekend."
"Wonderful! Just what I need!" Amara grumbled as she stormed up the
stairs to her Room.
****
James walked into his modest apartment. He walked past the kitchen and
into his bedroom. As he was changing his clothes he heard a female voice in the
living room.
"Well it's about time!" Athena hissed as she stretched.
"I wasn't gone that long," James said as he walked out of his room in
silk pajamas.
"You don't have time to be Dating!"
"Oh Go chew some Catnip!" He teased Athena.
Athena, who was for all intents and purposes a gray cat shook her
head. "You have a mission James! We must find the Scouts and Guardians then
find and stop Somnius."
"Do you even know that he's here?"
"No...."
"Then there's time to spare. Besides the girl I was with was cute..."
"Like that matters!"
"What the matter? Jealous Kitty-cat?"
"Nonsense! I just don't think you should distract yourself."
"Well I'm going to see her again whether you like it or not," James said.
"Fine! Don't blame me then if one of Somnius's Youmas leaves her out
cold," Athena replied as she curled up and went to sleep.
