Disclaimer:
Here we are at part 15 of Hotaru's story. I'd like to thank all the people who've written me about this
work. The funny part was that I didn't plan on this story being this long. However, Hotaru is a wonderful
though somewhat underused character and I have no trouble with writing a long story on her behalf. Now
on to the stuff we all know but have to put in.
I don't own Sailor Moon, nor do I own the Sailor Scouts. Naoko Takeuchi does as does Toei animation.
That being the case, it's pretty clear that I am not getting any money for this work. All the payment I will get from
this is the satifactions of writing a good story and reading e-mail that people send me.
I use north American names in my work except for in the case of Sailor Pluto. I've meantioned the
reasons for this a lot of times, I just don't like the "T" name when it comes to Sailor Pluto. It's wrong for her and
the people who decided to name her that should be ashamed of themselves.
^_^ That being said on with the show!
Hotaru's Date part 15

Hotaru sighed contentedly. Aside from the little altercation with Amara this morning, the day was turning
out perfectly. She was sitting in the Crown Cafe on a quiet day with her wonderful boyfriend, James Everwolfe,
having a wonderful brunch. He was looking dreamily into her eyes and she was returning the gaze.
To anyone who wasn't looking too closely, James and Hotaru looked a lot like twins. Both had black hair
and the same violet-black eyes. And both held inside them the power to destroy the world. Were that known to
general public they'd most likely have been given a wide berth.
I could stare at you forever Hotaru my darling, my princess. James thought as a memory from the past
came to him. He was leaning on the edge of a balcony watching the princess of Saturn practice the violin. The
princess of Neptune turned out to be a good teacher and the Earth instrument sang in her hands.
"Moonpenny for your thoughts young Prince?" A feminine voice chimed behind him.
James turned and immediately bowed. "I was not thinking anything your majesty."
Serenity, Queen of the Moon kingdom smiled at that. "Such a shy boy young prince. I know you were
thinking of something.... or someone."
James sighed. "You speak true M'lady. I was thinking of her," He replied pointing out Princess Hotaru.
"I see," Serenity stated as if deep in thought. "You find her attractive? Admittedly I've seen you and her
together at many gatherings."
"We go to gatherings together mostly because she needs an escort, but, yes I find her taking up a large
part of my thoughts."
"James?" Hotaru asked snapping him out of his memory.
"Yes darling?"
"You were zoning out. Are you okay?" She asked her eyes sparkling with concern.
"I'm fine Hotaru, I was just having a memory from the past. You were learning the violin and I was
watching you."
"Some things never change," giggled Hotaru.
James blushed at that then someone caught his eye he was a little shorter than James was with Brown hair
and green eyes. In the back of James's mind omething tugged at his memories. That boy looks familiar....
At the moment the boy seemed to be arguing with the Management of the cafe. "Look if she's here, I want
to speak with her," he said adamantly.
"I'm sorry sir. Lita Kino does work here amoung other places but she isn't here today," The manager said.
"Are you sure?" the young man said.
"He sure is persitent," Hotaru whispered. "I wonder who he is"
"Let's find out," James replied as the young man began to walk past them. "Excuse me?"
"Yes?"
"We couldn't help overhearing. You're looking for Lita Kino?"
"Yes I am. I'm a friend of hers and I was hoping to surprise her. Who are you?"
"Fair enough question. This is Hotaru Tomoe and I'm James Everwolfe. We're friends of Lita," James replied
as he shook the man's hand.
"My name's Ken," the young man said as a loud crash came from the kitchen and various cooks scattered
out into the lobby.
Hotaru and James looked at each other in dismay.
"You know Hotaru, this is getting tedious," James growled as he got to his feet.
"Tell me about it. Just once I'd like another date without a nightmare attacking."
The monster blasted out of the Kitchen with a hiss. It was a tall thin thing, slightly female but with eight
arms each ending in sharp blades. "Where Issss Sssssshe?" The thing hissed at the manager.
"L-L-Lita's not H-h-here," The manager whimpered.
At the sound of the possiblity of Lita being in danger Ken did something, decidedly stupid. With a yell the
young would be warrior Lunged at the Youma, intent on slamming it to the ground. The end result however was him
getting a nice deep gash across his chest.
Several words came to James's mind about this turn of events. None of them were of the type on says in
front of a lady however. James quickly scooped up The now dazed and injured Ken and looked to Hotaru. "Which
way to Lita's house?"
"That way," she said shakily. "Shouldn't we take him to the hospital?"
"Yes but we can use your healing powers to get him at least standing again once we get to Lita's. We'll
need his help with that Monster."
"What?"
James turned holding the man in his arms. There in plain sight on his forehead was the symbol for Jupiter.
"He's a Gardian."
