I don't own Sm or Gw. Well due to my fingers being taped up for the last 2 wks. This chapter has taken forever to get out sorry. Hope you like it.
Why did he do this? Am I that bad a girlfriend? Does he love me anymore? These were the kinds of questions that were racing through Hotaru's mind. She wasn't sure how it had happened, but she knew it had. Duo had slapped her after she told him that she had to leave. He had wanted her to stay, she had told him she couldn't and he had hit her.
" Well now it's out in the open, I'm pretty sure Trowa knows, all the scouts do except Haruka and Michiru. What am I going to do?" she said thinking aloud. Hotaru had seen Trowa right before she had ran out of Duo's apartment, he had a questioning look on his face, like he thought something but thought that it was totally impossible. " Yep, he definitely knows, and if he doesn't Rei-chan will probably tell him, they can never keep secrets from each other." She said kinda like she was talking to the air, trying to convince herself that it hadn't happened. " At least not all the guys know, if they ever found out they would kill Duo, so they can't find out. I know Duo isn't eager to tell them so it shouldn't be hard." Hotaru said answering herself. She then got up and went back into the living room where the rest of the girls were discussing her.
Living Room" You guys, could you kinda like not tell anyone about this. I'm sure it was a once in a lifetime thing; I don't think he'll do it again. Besides if you tell the guys, they'll all kill him." Hotaru pleaded. The girls all got together in a circle and started whispering. When they came out of their huddle Mina as always was their spokes person.
" We agreed not to tell the guys, on one condition. That if this ever happens again you will tell us and you will let us handle it. Now the way we explain the nice bruise on your face is that you ran into a door, cuz you aren't to tall to do that." Mina said trying to act serious but in the end smiling.
" Thanks you guys, it means a lot to me." Hotaru replied.
Later" Where the heck are the girls?" Quatre questioned sounding quite annoyed. Just then all the girls were seen coming up to the large table that had been arranged in Quatre's backyard.
" Hey you guys, sorry we're late Mina got lost." Rei said rolling her eyes.
" Again? You'd think after the like millionth time of coming to the house she would know it like the back of her hand." Trowa replied, while walking up to Rei and putting his arm around her waist.
" Hey you guys where are Hotaru and Duo?" questioned Heero.
" I don't know, they're probably inside making love." Replied Wufei.
" Hey, if that's what they're doing I'm going to kill him and then I'm going to scream at her for letting him." Yelled Haruka.
" Calm down." Michiru responded placing her hand on Haruka's shoulder.
Inside with Duo and Hotaru" Taru, I'm really sorry I didn't mean to. It's just that you weren't listening to what I was saying and I got really mad and I forgot that you were you. I lost control, I was way out of line and I want to apologize." Duo said, getting down on his knees and kissing Hotaru's hand.
" Well, it sounds like you just did." Hotaru replied pulling Duo up and giving him a giant bear hug. " I missed you."
" We were only apart for three days."
" Yeah well I still missed the real you."
" Taru, did you tell the girls?"
" Minako noticed the bruise, and they pried it from me, they won't tell, I made them promise. Did you tell anyone."
" No, although I'm not sure but Trowa might know, he saw you run out of the house." Duo then pulled Hotaru's legs up and started to carry her, like a baby outside to the table where the rest of the group was.
" What the hell were you doing inside so long?" Haruka demanded.
" Just talking," Hotaru replied. " Duo was wondering what happened to my face."
" Yeah, what happened to your face?" Quatre asked.
" Oh, I bumped into a doorframe while I was talking to Mina." Hotaru replied while looking at the ground.
" Well that must have hurt. Did you get your doctor to check it out?" Quatre said speaking before remembering that he was talking to Hotaru. " Oh wait never mind." Quatre said finally remembering.
" It will heal up soon. Since I haven't used my powers in so long they take longer to kick in now." She replied, just then a soft purple glow started to show on her face. Soon where there had once been a bruise there was now nothing. " See."
