Chapter 7- We meet Again


It had been 2 days since the big explosion of words in the throne room. All the senshi were
being much closer and nicer to Hotaru, Michiru and Haruka especially felt horrible for the
way they had treated her, seeing as they are her godparents, sworn to protect her no matter
what happen, and they told her so. She was back to calling them her Michiru-mama and
Haruka-papa.

Hotaru had a lot to think about. Today she had been called in by the head senshi of
palace security and royal family security, Sailor Uranus and Jupiter respectivly.

*flashback to conversation*

"Princess Hotaru-chan, you are getting a new personal guard today. He is a Z warrior of
immense strength. The name has not yet been given to us. He should arrive at lunch time.
He was born on earth, but has royal Saiyan lineage, his father being the Prince of Saiyans."

"Okay..."
*flashback ends*

The looks on the two senshis faces had been odd, and mischevious... Hotaru just wondered
who he would be.

"GOHAN!!!!! ARE WE READY TO LEAVE YET??????"

"Trunks...be patient!!! It is still 2 hours before we are expected!"

"But I wanna see her!!!"

"Why don't we eat something first, that way we don't eat the palace out of food."

Trunks eyes got wide at the mention of food.

"YA!!!!! LET'S EAT!!!"

Both the 26 year old and the 18 year old ran to the fridge lik children and dug into the
food, with glazed over looks on their faces. Then they started to shovel the food...
*an hour later*
Both Saiyans sat in the middle of the kitchen floor when Gohan decided it was time to go.

"Trunks...lets go."

Trunks jumped up and they both flew out of the window, leaving a hideous mess behind them.

Trunks was starting to get nervous...What if she still hated him and didn't want to see him?

Gohan led Trunks through the door to one of the informal lunch rooms. When they walked in,
only one senshi was there. THis one was clad in blue, yet was different from Sailor Pallas,
who he had earlier met.

THe blue senshi stood up and talked.

"Welcome!!! I am Sailor Mercury, you must be the new guard!" she looked at the pair, and
her eyes fell on Gohan.

Gohan just stared at her breathlessly... He had seen her so many times, and every time it
was the same!!! she was so beautiful, but she never seemed to notice him.

She just stared at him! She hadn't seen him around before...

Trunks looked at the two of them staring at each other...He cleared his throat loudly.

"So...When do I get to meet the princess???"

Mercury looked up.. "Oh...I'll go get her."
"I'll go with you!!!" said Gohan.

Trunks sat there waiting. and waiting...until finally the door opened...instead of Gohan
and Mercury, he stood face to face with Sailor Saturn.

"Princess..."

"TRUNKS!!!!!! OMG IT's soooooooooo good to see you!!!!!!!"

She ran up to him and embraced him.

"I've missed you so much my princess..." Trunks said softly.

"Me too..." She sighed contentedly and let herself fall into his embrace.

*few minutes later*

"Uh...Trunks...have you seen Sailor Mercury..."
"Uh...no...have you seen Gohan? They were supposed to go get you..."
"Oh no..." she said near laughter
"I think my sensai has fell for your friend"
"I think I agree!!!"
"Uh...do ya think we could eat something..."
"That sounds great! Mako-chan!!! Are you cooking anything today???" she yelled.
A voice answered her from the kitchen.
"Of Course Hotaru-chan!!! It is done! I will have a waitor bring you some in a moment!"

A few minutes later a tray of the most marvelous smelling food was whisked out of the
kitchen.

"Princess Jupiter aka Makoto is the greatest cook in the galaxy."
Trunks meerly nodded, his mouth too full of food to speak. Hotaru just gazed in amazement
at the Saiyan Prince shoveling food down the never ending hole he had for a mouth.

When finally the saiyan was finished eating, Hotaru burst out laughing.

"Nani?" Trunks asked.
"YOU ARE A PIG!!!" she choked out between laughs.
"Uh...Saiyans eat a little more than regular humans..." he muttered, blushing.
"Just a little!!!" she teased.
He stuck his tongue out at her.
"Well Trunks-chan, how about I show you to your room?"
"That sounds good...I think a nap would do me good. Especially after that snack.
Hotaru meerly rolled her eyes.
"Well...Your chambers are actually in my wing of the palace. You have a seperate hallway
with your own private bedroom, bathroom, gym, and kitchenette. Not much, but pretty good."
she explained as she lead him toward her wing, "The Wing is set up pretty normally. The
entrance of course has a living room with the latest in entertainment, we will be sharing
that, and a kitchen, swimming pool (my request). One hallway leads to your private chambers
the other to mine."

Trunks jaw dropped as he saw the wing. The living room had a 150 inch television with
an awesome steryosystem and all sorts of videogames. And book cases loaded with every type
of manga known to mankind! He couldn't wait to see the kitchen!!!

He relaxed into the hot bath contentadly. It had been a good day. He and Hotaru had just
sat around and talked all evening. He could tell that she missed him and he never wanted
to leave her. The fact that she was just a hallway away made him tingle. He wanted to see
her again. He missed her and it hadn't even been an hour since she had left to her room.
'Maybe I'll fell better after I eat something' he thought.

Apparently he wasn't the only hungry one in the wing. He could see lights in the kitchen
and when he opened the door, saw Hotaru, munching popcorn.

"Willing to share?" he asked mockingly with one eyebrow cocked.
She stuck her tongue out at him.
"Saiyans aren't the only ones who get hungry from time to time!"
"Obviously" he teased.
She stuck her tongue out again.
"I sugest you stop that young princess..." he said teasingly.
"Why? Can't stand being ridiculed?" she asked.
"No,,, but I might have to do something like this..." he leaned over and kissed her gently.
SHe looked startled, yet pleased. He quietly went back to his room, leaving her with her
popcorn.
