Hey everyone!!! Wasn't that the sweetest chapter Juppy-chan wrote? Let's
all give her a warm round of applause.
Duo: *whistles and claps* Hell yeah!!!
KH: Duo...where are you?
Duo: In my Gundam.
KH: Hey, osage baka!!! Aren't you supposed to be fighting or something?
Duo: Hai hai.
KH: Watch out for that...!
Duo: Already got it, babe.
KH: Whew! That was scary.
Duo: *switches to talk to Wufei, but KH can still hear* Haha, Wu-man! Your girl loves me more than you!!!
Wufei: Osage baka! Kawaii-chan isn't my girl!
Duo: Nani?
Wufei: She's _his_ girl...
Heero: Omae o korosu osage baka.
Duo: IIE!!! Kawaii-chan!!! Tasukete!!!
KH: Iie.
Duo: Aw, come on!!! I was just playing!!!
KH: Iie.
Heero: Omae o korosu!!!!
*silence*
KH: *smiles, sweatdrops, and reaches behind her head* Ano...I actually didn't mean that...oh well! Juppy-chan can scold him for teasing Hee-chan like that...if Hee-chan hasn't killed him by then. Read and review minna!
(Last Time)
Duo finished the song and looked into Makoto's eyes. "I think I could love you." He said to her. "I could give up everything for you." Makoto's eyes glistened with unshed tears. "Duo, I...I think I could love you too." She said with a smile. Duo leaned into Makoto, who closed her eyes and leaned into him. Their lips met. It was as if two souls had found each other after a lifetime of searching. The kiss broke and Makoto leaned her head on Duo's shoulder. "Rest now, koishii (beloved)." Duo whispered into her ear. Her eyes closed and they stood dancing to the sound of
their beating hearts.
(Now)
Hotaru leaned on the doorway of Makoto's room and watched the two lovebirds dance. 'It's about time you two...' But, her thoughts were interrupted by Heero. "Hotaru? What are you doing?" Hotaru's head snapped around and shocked violet eyes met curious blues. She crossed her arms. "Ecchi." She accused. He blinked in response. Hotaru shook a blush from her cheeks. 'Oh please don't look so innocent...it's too cute...' She thought to herself. "Nani?"
"You know very well what I'm talking about, Yuy. I sensed you staring at me when I was transforming. I told Setsuna-mama that it was a bad idea to do that in front of five testosterone-driven boys. But no...she HAD to make us transform in front of you." She ranted. Heero wondered this. She had never acted like this in front of anyone that he knew of. It was like she had changed her personality, something that kind of scared him. Then she caught him just staring blankly at her.
She sighed. "Never mind. You ARE as dense as they come, Yuy. Oyasumi nasai!" She finally said before heading off. But, a musical sound made her abruptly stop. "Michiru-mama...Haruka-papa?"
Michiru stood in the music room, slowly beginning to play her violin. Bringing the bow across the wire, a beautiful sound erupted. Haruka had just been watching TV when she heard the melodious sounds of her lover's violin. She smiled smally before walking into the room
and sitting at the piano and playing along (they're playing the ever famous Outer Senshi transformation sequence...the entire thing).
Hotaru smiled. "A rare performance by Michiru Kaiou and Haruka Ten'ou...I'm honored." She said quietly before turning around and walked downstairs. Heero, once again, stared blankly as he followed her to her destination.
Hotaru ran into the woods (finally, not the garden) just near Quatre's large estate. By an opening in the top, she stopped and broke down on her knees. Tears finally let themselves fall from her eyes. The song reminded her too much of home. How the Inner senshi, Sailor Moon, practically died saving her baby form after she had killed Pharaoh 90. How the Inner Senshi and the Outer senshi fought many battles. And how Sailor Moon simply just shunned them away. Sure,
Makoto and Ami were hurt. That was to be expected. But, not many thought the littlest senshi would actually break down and cry over it.
"Maybe it's not even that..." She said in between sobs. Heero watched with pure pain at Hotaru's tense and small form sobbing over something he didn't know about. Suddenly, she began humming something she had heard back in her own dimension. Soon, the humming
became singing and the words spilled from her mouth. A touch of emotion on each syllable.
"There's a place in my heart
That I go when I dream
A place that nobody can see
Every night I see love
I see someone who's waiting
Waiting for someone like me
He must be out there
Somewhere, someone for me
Tell me how long
'Til I'm not just dreaming
How long, 'til somebody cares
How long, 'til I meet an angel
And give him my heart,
When can I start
How long 'til I fall in love
I sit every night
By my window just wishing
And searching for one perfect star
Can anyone hear me
Dunno if you're listening
Please send him right here
To my arms
He must be out there
Somewhere, waiting for me
Tell me just how long, will it be..."
Hotaru immediately stopped, hearing a noise from behind her. She got up, turned, and face the man with a fiery rage burning in her eyes. Heero halted and just stared, wide-eyed. Hotaru wiped her tears. "What the hell are you doing here, Yuy?" She asked venomously. He couldn't answer. So, he turned and went to leave. But, then he heard her fall onto her knees and once again
begin sobbing. He couldn't bear to hear or know she was crying. He ran to her and kneeled down beside her.
Gently, he put a hand on her back. She looked up at him with her tear- stained face. Without thinking, she threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his middle. "Please don't leave me alone out here...don't be like everyone else..." She said quietly. He nodded, and let her fall asleep in his arms. Quietly and cautiously, for he was afraid he would break her, he walked back into the mansion and put her to bed.
Hotaru rubbed her eyes as the morning sun woke her. Quietly, she cursed it. Then, she recalled what had happened last night. 'Ugh, how can I face him now? Now that he saw my weakness...' She shook herself from it and got dressed. Breakfast was calling her name.
Hotaru walked in the dining room and saw that the only seat that was available was by Heero. Sighing, she took that seat and began cutting her pancakes. "Good morning, Hotaru." Quatre said politely. But, Heero glared at him evilly and Quatre shrunk back. "Never mind." Hotaru looked curiously at him and then at the direction he kept glancing at. Heero wasn't doing anything. Shrugging, she left it at that. But, then she saw who was on his other side. A jealous fire burn
inside her.
"Relena, I thought you were going to avoid me and Mako-chan like the black plague." She replied, a mischievous glint in her eye. "As long as I have Heero to protect me, I'm fine." She said snobbishly. "I was given a mission to protect you from the enemy, I didn't say I would protect you from her." He replied.
But, before Hotaru could do anything, someone practically punched open the door. "HARUKA!!!" Makoto cried. Haruka turned. "Well, Mako-chan. I'm happy to see that you can actually get out of bed this morning." "What happened, Mako-chan?! Haruka-papa! What did you do to her?!" Hotaru cried, outraged.
Haruka snickered. "Just your basic training." Hotaru's eyes went wide. "Mako-chan! Are you okay?! Do you have any broken bones this time?" She asked, concerned as she ran up to the senshi of Jupiter. "I'm fine. I just ache all over." "Then you should go take a hot bath or
something. That always helps."
"The onna would need it." Wufei commented off hand. Hotaru turned and glared. "Wufei! Don't you dare insult her." In a lightning movement, she now had Wufei by the neck and a knife at his throat. "Or you'll have to pay the consequences. Would you like to see the way I would strangle someone who I really don't like? First, I would cut out their tongue. Then, I'd wrap it around their throat, and I don't kill them first. Then, I'd hang them from a chandelier." Everyone stared at her, wide-eyed.
"Hotaru!!! That is enough! Put that knife away. And just for that, you too will have to train with
Haruka." Hotaru looked up at Setsuna. "Demo, Setsuna-mama! He had it coming. He insult Mako-chan."
Setsuna shook her head. "Iie. You will train with Haruka. That is that." Hotaru hung her head and sat back down in her chair next to Heero. "Hai, Setsuna-mama." She muttered out.
Heero stared at her in amazement, and then glared at Haruka. She winked at him. It was as if they were having a conversation with just gestures. Hotaru giggled at this. When Heero caught her giggling, he took sudden interest in his meal and began eating.
Well, there's chapter eight. Do you know how hard that song was to find? Very hard. It's called "How Long" by Dream.
Duo: And you're finished now?
KH: Finished the chapter, yes. The story, no.
Duo: When will you be finished?
KH: I don't know.
Duo: Why?
KH: No! I will not play that game with you. Shut up now or I'll practice that technique Hotaru was talking about.
Duo: Eep! ::runs away::
Wufei: Way to go, onna.
KH: Shut up Wufei or you too shall suffer the consequences.
Wufei: Oh great, Kawaii-chan is in a bad mood again...
KH: Hehe, that's right! I'm in a bad mood because I just woke up.
Wufei: How many of those Pina Coladas have you had?
KH: None! (hic) Now shut up.
Wufei: Hai hai.
KH: Review! Oh and sorry about the short chapter. I just couldn't think of anything else to write. Ja ne.
Duo: *whistles and claps* Hell yeah!!!
