Chapter Two- The Ball

AN: Just wanted to say, if you wanted Hotaru to wear her traditional wear the things she always wears, fine. But I wanted to be different because everyone always has her wear that. But I'll have her wear what she usually does if it makes everyone feel comfortable. And I want to thank all the people who reviewed my story so far^_^.

Disclaimer: I don't own GW or SM.

Their heads went closer and closer together. Then Heero remembered his brother Duo and the arrangement and snapped out of the trance.

"Um… It's getting late I better go to bed." Heero said looking down.

"Oh…Alright."

"See you in the morning then…" Hotaru was a little disappointed.

*~*The Next Day*~*

The whole castle was preparing for the ball. People from the Milky Way and LaNova were coming. Hotaru was kind of in a daze from her encounter with Heero last night. Was she in love with him? She wasn't sure. She hadn't experienced love yet so it was confusing her.

"Hey Hotaru!"

She turned around to see Duo with his overly large grin.

"Hello Duo."

"So are you excited about the ball?" he asked.

"Yeah…but probably not as excited as I should be."

"Why is that?"

"I don't know. I just have a lot of things on my mind."

"Oh…care to tell."

"Well…"

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to but if you have any problems don't be afraid to come to me" he said kissing the back of her hand.

"I will." She said blushing slightly.

"Well I'm going to get ready. See you there!" he said walking back down the hall.

'Now I'm really confused.' Hotaru thought to herself.

*~*~*Heero's Room*~*~*~*~

Heero's POV

I'm getting ready for the ball just like everyone else is but I'm not paying attention to what I'm doing…I can't stop thinking…about HER. Her long black hair, deep violet eyes and…URG! I'm drifting off again. Duo usually gets all the attention from my parents because he's the oldest and the heir to the throne. But why should I care… I don't…Anyway I think I'm falling in love with HER. But I know I can't. I have to resist. She is already Duo's even though she doesn't know it herself. I already know not to mess with Shinigami though because if you get him really mad, he'll hunt you down and rip you into to pieces. It's like he changes into a different person. He looks very goofy but in battle he's vicious. Am I scared of her or am I scared of love? I don't know anymore…

*~*Wufei's room*~*

Wufei's POV

I'm worried about my sister. I think she's too young to get married and to a person she doesn't even know well. But my mother did say that she got married when she was fourteen and Hotaru is actually old for getting married. But still I don't like the idea… Oh great my mother's yelling at me again…She wants me to take a shower. Hmph! Injustice! Rei always says I use that word too much. Oh well my hair is kind of tangled anyway. Maybe I should use that shampoo Rei was talking about…ACK! Why do I care what SHE thinks?! Stupid onna who says I'm a mommy's boy! Oh great she's going to be at the ball too. Why me?!?

*~*Duo's Room*~*

Duo's POV

Could I be happier? I think not. I just can't wait to marry her. Even though it's an arranged marriage, I'm in love with her. I hope she feel's the same. I just want to kiss her. But then I would have to deal with her brother and…ouch… Well he wouldn't be able to beat me but Hotaru will probably get mad. Haha.

*~*At the Ball*~*

Hotaru's POV

I walked down the black marble staircase in my deep violet, sleeveless gown. I was a little nervous to meet new people but I'm happy to see my friends. I especially can't wait to see Setsuna. She is like a second mother to me. She is so lonely guarding the time gates all by herself. I go visit her sometimes and we tell each other our problems. She always tells me how she secretly wishes for love but she knows that it's for forbidden for her to have it. I wish I had love too. But I will confess that I think I am in love. At least I think its love. It's so confusing though. All this is happening all at once.

A few people greeted me as I passed by and then I saw him. He was on the balcony alone…like he was waiting for someone. He turned around and smiled at me. I smiled back. I decided to go up to him. A couple people passed by in front of me and then he was gone. I stood there and looked around but didn't see him.

No Ones POV

"May I have this dance?"

Hotaru got a chill up her spine and turned around facing Heero. She smiled.

"Of course."

They glided though the dance floor with grace and ease. Everything became a blur all she could see was she and Heero… Then a certain braided-baka interrupted the moment.

"Can I cut in?" Duo asked holding out his hand.

Heero nodded and Hotaru happily took Duo's hand. Duo gave Heero a 'get away' look. Heero just looked down and walked off.

~*Else Where in the Ball*~

The guardian of the time gates walked gracefully around in her black silk dress. It had a low back and little black crystals on the dress. This was one of the few occasions she was aloud to leave the time gates for and took every advantage of it. Then she heard a soft voice behind her.

"Hello. I heard you are the guardian of the time gates."

"Yes I am. I'm Princess Setsuna of the planet Pluto."

"I'm Prince Triton (AN: Yes it's Trowa) of the planet Trinity. It's an honor to meet you."

"It's an honor to meet you as well."

"I'm very happy today because I don't get to go out. But I'm respect that because it is my duty." Setsuna said.

Triton nodded.

"I can tell you are a very quiet person with a lonely past. I can see it in your eyes."

Setsuna looked into his emerald eyes and he looked into her deep garnet eyes.

"Yes I do have a lonely past…"

"It's okay… I know how you feel. I am alone all the time but sometimes Princess Hotaru comes to visit me."

"…Can I visit you sometime?" Triton asked blushing.

Setsuna's cheeks turned a light shade of pink.

"Yes I would appreciate that greatly." Setsuna replied.

"Do you want to dance?"

"Yes I would like that."

~*Wufei*~

Wufei stood around talking to some of his buddies when he felt a light tap on his shoulder. He turned around to face Rei his rival and friend (but of course Wufei won't admit that an onna is his friend.). They've known each other since they were young. They went against each other in sword fighting.

"Hey Wu-Wu." She teased knowing that would embarrass him.

"Don't call me that onna."

"Uh… we'll leave you two alone for a while." One of his 'buddies' said nudging him.

"No it's not like that!" Wufei said blushing furiously.

But his 'buddies' had already left leaving him alone with Rei.

"Sorry Wufei I couldn't help it."

"Yeah...fine."

"So remember tomorrow is the day I whoop your butt in a sword dual."

"I don't think that will happen." Wufei said smirking.

"It did last time."

Wufei remembered the last time she almost chopped his head off.

"Well…you were lucky."

"Yea right."

"Dance?"

"Ok."

*~*After the Ball*~*

Hotaru POV

I feel like my parents are hiding something from me. I over heard them talking to King Odin and Queen Hitomi about an arrangement. But I didn't hear details and on what it was for. Oh well, I'm exhausted. Tonight was fun though. I better get to bed now.

AN: So what's Triton's past? Who will win the dual Rei or Wufei?
