Thunderstorm Explanations
Konnichiwa minna! Um, so here's the sixth chapter:
Wufei: Home home on the range...where the deer and the ante-.
KH: ::muttering to self:: Why oh why did Juppy-chan leave him with me?! I need Advil...fast.
Duo: Where seldom is heard...a discouraging word...and skies are not cloudy all day.
KH: OH KAMI-SAMA!!! Now, I have two of them.
Heero: I thought I told her to put him out of his misery.
KH: Yeah, but he can still dodge bullets. She gave up and gave him to me. I will certainly have to thank her for that.
Heero: ::hands her a gun:: Here, why don't you just do it?
KH: ::scowls:: Why don't you?
Heero: Lady Une will kick me out of the Preventers.
KH: So?
Heero: I don't wanna get kicked out. Are you crazy?!
KH: ::frightened look:: Uh...Heero? A-are you a-all right?
Heero: ::crosses his arms and closes his eyes:: I'm fine. I don't see why you're bugging me. Stop trying to seduce me, Kawaii-chan.
KH: S-seduce you?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
Heero: YOU know very well what I'm talking about, Kawaii-chan!!! As much as I like ya, ya gotta stop seducing me.
KH: ::takes out thermometer and sticks it in his mouth...minutes later...the temperature:: 106.7?!
Heero: Fine, I'll change the station to 106.7...
KH: Oya ma...what is this? An epidemic?!
Trowa: Kawaii-chan...is everything all right?
KH: Quick Trowa! Do the disclaimer before you become delirious as well!
Trowa: Kawaii-chan and Juppy-chan own nothing...oh and *ahem* There's a heeeeeeeeeroooo...if you look inside you're heart...you don't have to be afraid of what you
are...
Heero: Trowa, ya gotta stop making fun of my name.
KH: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just read the freakin' story already!!!
(Last Time)
Makoto just froze and ran out of the room. Duo came and punched him in the stomach. "You have no idea what you just said to her." Duo growled, his Shinigami personality coming out.
Wufei collapsed on the floor, as Duo ran after Makoto.
"Omae O Korosu Relena." Hotaru said as she too went after Makoto.
(This Time)
Makoto threw herself onto her bed and let her tears come out. Hotaru and Duo ran after her. "Mako-chan! Daijoubu?!" Hotaru cried.
"Leave me alone..." Makoto cried. She wasn't really upset about the hair...she knew she could make it look better. It was just what Wufei had said.
"Mako-chan...don't let what Wufei said bother you. You don't look like a man." Duo told her. She looked up at him. "I don't?" "Iie. You don't. Mako- chan, I can do something with your hair. And about Wufei...well, he'll pay for it. He's just an egotistical, macho, insensitive-." Hotaru started. Makoto looked at her. Hotaru shrugged. "Gomen ne."
"Yeah. What Hotaru said is right. And Relena...she'll also pay." Duo replied.
"Oh, will she ever!" Hotaru cried, smacking her balled fist into her other palm.
"Hai. Okay, let's just go do something about this hair cut of mine..."
The next day, Makoto dyed her hair back to it's original color. Hotaru styled it for her, using the
styling tips she had gotten from Minako before this all happened. It flipped outwards in layers. It
actually accented her facial features nicely. The pilots were caught a little off guard, but they complimented her hair. Well, Heero said "Hn", Trowa nodded and said it was pretty, Quatre complimented her, and Wufei said "of course she got it style...she's an onna...". And Duo simply loved what she did with it.
Relena was staying with them for about a week. She had a few peace meetings and such. So, she just invited herself in Quatre's mansion. Hotaru found her in the living room, reading a magazine. She had gone to the salon to fix her hair. They had done a good job. That made Hotaru even angrier.
"Oh, princess..." Hotaru called.
Startled, Relena turned. "Nani? Oh, Hotaru...what are you doing here?"
Hotaru scowled. "I live here. I must say, you certainly did a number on Mako-chan's hair. And I'm quite impressed that you were able to do so without her killing you on the spot."
Relena smiled. "Thank you."
Like lightning, Hotaru pulled out a black gun and aimed it at the bottom of Relena's jaw. Relena
couldn't move, she was cornered. "And if you EVER even look at her in the wrong way again, I won't hesitate to pull this trigger and just watch you suffer as you die." She threatened venomously. "Oh and I don't make threats, hime-baka. I make promises." She aimed the gun towards Relena's head, and a little off of target. She then pulled the trigger and shot the pillow. "Make that your warning."
Hotaru spun on her heel and stormed from the room. Relena just sat there, her eyes wide. Sweat poured over her entire body.
In the shadows, a figure showed amusement in his eyes. 'If you would've pulled the trigger, Hotaru...I would've given you an alibi.' He silently thought to himself as he walked away. It was shown to be the Perfect Soldier.
Hotaru emptied the bullets from the gun she had shot near Relena. With a smirk, she watched each bullet hit the ground. "Does she even realize all of these are blanks? What an otome baka..." Hotaru said with amusement. She then put the gun away and walked off.
The next day, Relena watched her back the entire day. She ran from Makoto, afraid that if Hotaru caught her even looking at her, she would kill her. "What did you say to her, Ru-chan?" Makoto asked the smaller senshi.
Hotaru just smiled. "Oh nothing. Nothing that Heero wouldn't do...uh...I didn't mean that." Hotaru corrected, her cheeks painted pink.
"Ah...Hota-chan has a crush!" Makoto cried.
Hotaru crossed her arms and scowled. "I do not! I never will have one either. So just stop it right now!" Hotaru whined.
Makoto giggled. "Whatever you say, Taru-chan. But you know you do."
Hotaru glared. "No I don't." She said harshly before stomping off.
Makoto laughed outright. "Oh poor girl. Can't see it even when she's told she has one."
Hotaru lied on her back in the sunshine. She was lying on the front lawn of the Winner Mansion. She let the wind play happily with her bangs and inhaled the fresh scent of violets and morning glories near by. It was a beautiful day, but it was beginning to turn cloudy and gloomy. She could already see the storm approaching. "A storm always interrupts the beautiful days." She sighed as she tried to enjoy what she had left of the warm sunshine.
But, within minutes, rain began to pour down upon her. Hotaru didn't move. It actually felt rather
refreshing. She allowed for the raindrops to land on her face and soak her clothes so they would stick to her body.
Heero looked out the window and just saw Hotaru lying out on the grass...in the middle of a thunderstorm. Curiosity got the better of him as he hurried out to meet her.
"What are you doing out here, Yuy?" She asked, sensing his presence.
"That's what I'd like to ask you."
The sides of her mouth curled up ever so slightly. "Just enjoying the music of Jupiter and the gifts of Neptune." She replied.
Heero looked at her, a slight look of confusion on his face. "Nani?" She let out a small giggle. "Just enjoying the thunder and rain." She answered.
"I don't see how." He replied, not in his usual monotone voice.
Hotaru looked at him strangely before replying. "I always love to hear the music that Jupiter creates. And I am eternally grateful for the gifts Neptune gives. Beautiful days are to calm for me." She replied. He still looked at her, confusion clearly written on his face. "The gift of Neptune is the rain. The music of Jupiter is the thunder. Really, Yuy, you can't be that dense."
"Why do you call them that?" Hotaru turned on her side to face him.
"You would like to know?" He nodded.
"Very well. But, telling you why I call them that would mean telling you why I have arrived here in the first place." He nodded again.
Hotaru inhaled deeply before explaining. "I am from another dimension. Yes, that's right. Another dimension...don't interrupt me." She said quickly as he opened his mouth to speak. "And in that dimension, I am one of nine warriors called the Sailor Senshi. I am known as Sailor Saturn, the senshi of death, destruction, rebirth, and silence. I am also the Princess of Saturn, the daughter of Saturn himself. The senshi are divided into two groups: the Inner Planetary Senshi and the Outer Planetary Senshi. I am of the Outer senshi. Therefore, I am not very obliged to actually protect the princess of the Inner senshi. And when we found out that Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mercury were actually part of the Outer senshi, they sent them out. So, we came here and became gundam pilots."
Heero gave her a wide-eyed stare. "Gundam pilots? So those people in those suits...were you? And the others?" She nodded.
"Makoto is Sailor Jupiter, and a gundam pilot. Setsuna is Sailor Pluto, and a gundam pilot. Michiru is Sailor Neptune, and a gundam pilot. Ami is Sailor Mercury and a gundam pilot. And Haruka is Sailor Uranus, and a gundam pilot."
"I can't believe you guys are the ones that defeated so many suits." Hotaru flushed a little. "Actually...I wasn't in the suit when the girls defeated the suits..." She said a little hesitantly.
Heero curiously looked at her. "Nani?" She gave a nervous laugh. "Um, you remember that girl who saved your ass in space when you left your space helmet?"
"That was you?"
"Yeah well, I was feeling generous. Don't let it get to your head." She said, trying to cover the slight humiliation in her voice.
"Arigato."
"Hai. That's two favors you owe me." He actually smiled at that comment. "So what did you mean with those words before?"
Hotaru hit herself on her head. "I can't believe I forgot to explain. One of Sailor Jupiter's powers is thunder. And Sailor Neptune's power is water. See what I meant?"
"Hai."
"Good. I don't feel like explaining any more. I'm going to go back to bed. Oyasumi nasai."
"Oyasumi nasai." Heero mumbled as the drenched senshi of Saturn walked towards the house. Heero then let himself blush. 'She was the one that helped me breathe? Grr...and why the hell am I blushing?!' Heero cried in his thoughts as he too retreated back towards the mansion.
Ah, another chapter finished.
Wufei: Took you long enough onna.
KH: Don't mess with me, Wufei. I still have that recording of you singing "home on the range" with Duo.
Wufei: ::gulp:: You wouldn't.
KH: Hai, you know I would.
Wufei: Fine.
KH: Now, bow down to the almighty Kawaii. And when you see Juppy-chan, bow down to her too.
Wufei: Hell no! I still have my pride!
KH: ::holds up tape:: Not for long you won't.
Wufei: No! All right. ::bows down at Kawaii's feet::
KH: Very nice. Now, since Quatre and Duo are drunk, help them in. And when you get back, make Trowa take his medicine. I'll give Heero his medicine.
Wufei: You know, I'm starting to think he's right on the seducing thing.
KH: ::glares and holds up tape::
Wufei: FINE!!! ::storms out to go get Quatre and Duo::
KH: Good. Now, remember to review minna!
