Chapter 3
The sun hung high overhead in the late summer sky on a Monday morning. Hotaru walked silently clutching her textbooks to her chest.
Her new school uniform was for high school, dark blue short skirt with a typical sailor top. The wind kept finding the easy access to her legs and
panties. She stopped adjusting it for the hundreth time since she was left of by Setsuna,"Honestly and I thought the Senshi unform was short."she
growled to herself. Again she continued to move tucking the black locks behind her head and looking a head at the school.
The building itself was taller than her middle school. The laughter from the classrooms could be clearly heard as she heasitately took
each step. She instantly noticed people waving to their friends and groups of boys and girls on opposite sides of the school yard. Silently she
walked through the two groups noticing a few mummers, glancing to both sides quietly she hurried her pace into the building. Inside the large
building she followed Setsuna's directions and recieved her new sechdule, all her information file was fake. Her name printed neatly on the top
of paper was Tenou Hotaru at the age of 16. Her violet eyes began to water but she pushed back the tears and headed towards her first day of
hell.
Easily she found her first class was empty, it was still early even for school. Quietly taking a seat near the window she stared at below.
The small dots of other students, their joy still ringing in her ears. She shook her head letting the silence of the room again fill her ears. Pulling out
a small book she opened to the next chapter, just then the door opened and a group of students came strolling through the door. Instantly she
inwardly chringed in annouance, attempting to find some source of the silence she had just lost, turning her eyes back to the book.
"Oi, looks like we have a new student,"a high pitched male voice stated above the group. Instantly Hotaru felt all eyes falling on her but she
shrugged them off focusing on the one word that discribed her "alone" in the senetence.
"Hey, are you new?"instantly she felt a tap on her shoulder causing her look up, violet eyes priecing cold meet bright blue. The atmosphere seems
to drop ten degrees, as all eyes within the class turned towards her. Her heart began to start racing for a moment but she bit her lip.
After another what seemed like an hour of silence, the teacher came through the door."Minna-san onegia take you seats so we can get
started,"the dark hair teacher with large glasses ordered. The bright blue eyes disappeared from her vission and a few mummers of protest and
shuffle of chairs as the students arranged themselves."We have a new student, I don't know if she has arrived yet but when she does please
everyone be nice to her."
Taking a deep breathe and a silent prayer to the Goddess of Saturn she raised her hand saying in a soft voice, "I'm you're new student."The
teacher nodded in agreement looking over the list.
"You are?"the teacher states looking over the list of names still not catching it.
"Tenou Hotaru,"she states clamly attempting to ignore the gasps from her classmates.
"Well welcome to Tokyo District 1 High school Tenou Hotaru,"the teacher smiled she nodded but picked up her book and ignored the rest of role
call. Overhearing a few more mummers from her neighbors she grumbled in Saturnian,"This is going to be a long day." She glanced outside
seeing how beautiful the blue sky over like the bright blue eyes.

Over the bridge a lone gull sored on the high winds then dove down into the blue sea. A flash of black metal seemed to be ignored by
the rest of the world as they continued their lives normally. The black convertible flew down the bridge entering the city, barely missing a greenlight.
The dark windows hid the driver from the rest of the world. As the distination approach her speed slowed and clamly the left turn signaled flickered
on.The car turned into a parking lot and the motor shut off, the driver pulling a pair of sunglasses from her eyes. She sighed heavily and looked up
at the tall building and walked towards it, no other employees paying any heed to her as she past security without an id tag. Her long green hair
was a dead give away of who she was, Dr. Mieou Setsuna.
When she again stepped out of the building upon reaching her car she stopped and just stared at the window where she had spent most
of this lifetime creating. All of her best work that didn't involve time travel or breaking any rules of the time gates. Fighting a few tears that were
about to fall, she turned away from the tall building and continued towards her car. Today she had done the two most difficult things number one
was quiet her job, the only thing that was keeping her sane and two dropping Hotaru off at high school. "She's not ready socially but nonetheless
she's looks 16 and has the knowledge equialivant to mine own."she recalled whispering to the wind and sea early that day. She still pictured the
look of horror as she dropped off the only thing she would ever have to a child. The hope in her once young eyes was completely gone. She
whispered a prayer to the Time Gates in hopping to gain some reasurance that she had done the right thing.
Funny even, she thought to herself, here she was the senshi of time she never knew when to do the right thing or wrong thing better than
anyone. Unlocking her car door she climbed into her car starting it up and having the music come in at full blast,Anio Minako's latest hit La Soldier.
A image of smiling teenage girls filled her mind as they ran together for a group hug. Instantly smother the bounciest blonde that the world has ever
seen. She smirked at the image, placing a pair of black sunglasses over her eyes and setting the convertible hood back. Even though as many
disadvantages there were to being the Senshi of time there would always be an exact prediction of weather."Today is going to be a beautiful day,"
she contently smiled turning down towards the shopping mall. Her long black green hair flew wildly in the wind and disappeared in time with the
black car down the road.
***
Black tar was the only thing in front while cement walls went flying past only to make everything look like a blurr. The wind blew at
incedible speeds, whipping around the different corners of Tokyo Suzaka racetract. Sounds of the engine echoed along the track as two racers
flew by the grand stand. One was yellow with blue flames along the sides. The second was a blue bike wih black flames, both took a fast turn nose
to nose on the last part of the stretch. Then on the straightway the engines roared even louder as both racers pushed their machines to the limit.
Suddenly the yellow bike took flight like a bird and pushed ahead then left the blue bike in the dust. Then the checkerflag came down over the
finish line, the tires making a screeching halt and dust surrounds the yellow bike just as the blue bike passes the finish line.
Over the stadium a lone song could be heard as the wind carried it softly and gently. The song was bright and familiar to both the rider
and player, a few sepectatiors looked up to the sky. The rider from the yellow bike took off her helmet, short blonde locks blowing in the wind. Blue
eyes instantly were memorized by the small blue dot standing out from the sky with a dark cherry violin. A small smile appeared on the racer as
she took her bike and placed it in the garage and recieved a few muffles of congradulations but the rider really only nodded and smiled but racing
was the last thing on her mind.The song finsihed as suddenly as it started.
"Oi Haraku-san,"a man states smiling wearing a blue racing jacket. His face was young with a boy's hair cut and innoence eyes that shelled the
inner soul from the outside world. Extending his hand his smile brightened,"You really are the wind."
"Demo you are very good Soujirou-san you'll really help the team in the next rac,"the blonde states excepting the hand shake.
The dark brown hair man smiled saying,"Arigatou Haraku-san, Should we do this again, say next week?"
"Sounds great,"Haraku smiles reassuringly, then lets the man's hand go,"I'll be here as always.." Out of the corner of her eye she noticed a wave
of blue and the smell of the sea, the scent of oil and machine disappearing. Her eyes brightened with a mental vision of the clam sea, lapping at
the shore.
Instantly the other man noticed this then smirked and still smiling said,"Looks like you have a gaurdine angel Haraku-san."
"Iie,"Haraku states turning towards the aqua hair woman wearing a blue dress with water lilies her smile is pure with her eyes closed. Once her
eyes open the instantly himpnoized the blonde rider,"Michiru is a goddess."
"Oh, and what reason do I have the pleasure of being called a goddess,"the aqua hair woman smirked walking up to the two. In her hand was a
black case that looked heavy
"Because you are,"Haraku states looking at her. Then notices Soujirou was still watching the sence between the two,"Michiru I like you to meet
one of the newest members on the team, Seta Soujirou, he transfered from Shishou's team for personal reason hai?"The brown hair man nodded
his smile diming for a moment which went noticed by the two occupants of the room, "Soujirou-san this is my wife Michiru."
"Ah,"the brown hair man smiled in agreement noticing the gold band on the woman's hand and bowing quickly,"Congradulations Michiru-san I'm
sure it must be fun taming the wind."
"Oh believe me it is,"the woman laughed slyly smiling at her husband. Haraku cough turning away from the man,"So Seta-san do you like the team
so far?"
"Hai it's fascinatiing,"the man smiled happily,"I was very happy that Himura-san and Haraku-san allowed me to join."
"Hai, Himura-san can be very nice especially since he married,what's her name?"Haraku asks looking at the brown hair man for help.
"Kamiya Kaoru, demo Himura Kaoru,"Soujirou states smiling,"Are you sure you don't want another run Haraku-san?"
"Hai, we best be going Soujrou-san,"Haraku states,"remeber to say safe on those wild turns."
"Hai I will,"the brown hair man smiled happily and turned back to his bike walking it out towards the raceway once again. On the corner was a man
with red hair and bright violet eyes nodding in approval of the young rider. The man waved at Haraku then turned back to the raceway. The couple
walked out of the garage and towards a bright yellow corvette with the liscence plate, "Wind".

School finally finished for the day, Hotaru closed her book calmly and collected her other materials. She glanced around at the other
students, none were really paying attention to her. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed the boy with light brown hair and blue eyes from earlier.
Her memory seemed to be tracing every feature of his catlike eyes and lips. The boy turned towards her and gave a small smile. Violet eyes just
stared in silence as if trying to process what was going on. Her mind had thousands of questions racing through her head but one stuck out, naze?
Her hand reached for some book but sent her entire body falling towards the ground. As quickly as common sense had left her, it returned to
grab her brain and body back into motion but a little too late, she fell on her face out of her chair. No sound escape from her mouth except when
she sat up and mummered," ouch".
"Oi are you ok?"the same voice from earlier asks, again the blue eyes are locked on with worry on shocked violet eyes.
"H..Hai,"she states gathering her notebooks and scattered papers,"I'm fine."she states standing up but still staring the boy in front of her.She
straightened out her uniform mentally wanting to kill whoever thought it was a good idea tha school girl's skirts were so short.
"Watwashi Tuskyino Omi,"the boy states handing her a few more scattered papers.
"Watwashi Toneou Hotaru,"she took the papers smiling softly,"Arigatou." Gathering her papers into her bookbag she said,"See you later...
Omi-san."then seemed to disappear through the room.
The boy just stared at the desk that she had been in. Only to be knocked out of this thoughts as one of the boys grabbed him in a
chockhold saying,"Already getting moves on the new girl! Man, I never knew you moved fast on girls, huh Omi."
"It isn't like that!"the boy shouts as it echoes throughout the school. The other boy just laughed and never notice the violet eyes that had looked
dull in the beginning of the day start to shine with happiest from the schoolyard. The only one who noticed was a bright blue eyed boy.
Hotaru turned away thinking of the image of having friends. She threw her bookbag on her back then began walking down the street,
alone. Only the wind caught her whispers, "Today..Today wasn't so bad, after all."
WR:
Well told you I have another chapter up^^! So what do you all think please please let me know. I couldn't help throwing in Soujirou cause I always
would wonder what happen if Haraku and Soujirou faced off. Tell me what you think the racing team isn't going to be very important but they might
pop in every now and them^^ who knows. Any suggestions or comments are always welcome, arigatou minna-san!
