Unwanted Love

Chapter 8: All Too Familiar

AN: No I'm not dead lol.  Whoa It's almost been a full year since I updated…

Disclaimer: I don't own GW or SM.

*~*~*

     Hotaru had been having flashbacks of her previous life.  She remembered her brother and some things about him, like how he looks and certain times they had together.  She wanted to see him so badly and her flashbacks had started to come more often; she felt she was close to finding him.  But she didn't want to tell the others because she felt that it would distract them from their mission.

     Setsuna closed the portal and turned to the other senshi.

"This is the Sanc Kingdom.  There are space colonies and there was a war 3 years ago.  The year is AC199 over here."

"What does 'AC' stand for?" Minako asked.

"After Colony." Setsuna answered.

"Erm... Ok." Minako said still not getting it.

"Anyways, the evil familiar aura I sensed was coming from this part of the world.  Close your eyes and see if you find it too."

     They closed their eyes and concentrated.  Hotaru's eyes were the first to shoot open.

'I feel the evil aura, but I also feel some other familiar ones...can it be...?'

"It's coming over there."  She pointed to a large brick building with ivy growing down the side.

"Yes I sense it there too." Rei added.

"It looks like a school." Ami said.

"It is.  The princess of this kingdom goes there.  I'll sign all of us up to start tomorrow." Setsuna explained.

"This sucks!  Even on a mission we have to go to school." Minako said flailing her arms into the air.

"Tell me about it." Rei sighed.

     Setsuna also told them she already had made up an apartment where they were staying for the time being.

     They walked to their apartment.  Hotaru's mind kept wandering off.

'It's so peaceful here.  I can't believe there was a war.'

"We're here." Setsuna's voice knocked Hotaru out of her thoughts.

     Setsuna turned the key and opened the door.

"Wow this place is huge!  I get to pick my room first!" Mina squealed and ran in the apartment like a kid in a candy store.

    Everyone sweatdropped.

"Um...I guess we should all pick are rooms now." Ami suggested.

"Ok."

~*Quatre's Mansion*~

     It was pretty much a normal day for the Gundam pilots.  Duo was bugging Wufei, Wufei was ranting his usual justice speech and chasing after Duo, Quatre was trying to break them up, Trowa was trying to stay as far away as possible, and Relena was following Heero like little Bo peep's sheep.(AN: As in Heero being Bo peep and Relena being the SHEEP hehe.)

"Relena get off" he said holding his anger back.

"Heeero!  I know you love me just admit it...Hey who gave you this." She said tugging at a necklace he had around his neck.

     He smacked her hand away from it.

"I've had it on ever since I can remember but I don't know who gave it to me.  For some reason it has protected me...I can't explain it...and I can't open the locket.  Somehow it means a lot to me though." He half whispered.

"Why am I telling you this anyway?" He huffed and went straight to his room.

     Relena glared at Heero's back.

"Heh.  Because I know who gave it to you and as long as I'm around you'll never find out." She said in an abnormally cold (for her at least) tone.

~*Heero's Room*~

     Heero had locked the door and was sitting on his bed staring at his necklace.  Without warning it started to glow a purple color making Heero almost fall of the bed.

"What the?"

     Then it faded.

~*~*~

     Wufei suddenly stopped in his tracks and put his hand to his forehead.

'Can it be?  I sense her energy...I sense THEIR energy.' He thought walking off to his room, leaving behind a very surprised Duo.

"That...was weird." Duo said scratching his head.

~*Wufei's Room*~

     Wufei looked out the window and stared into the sky.  He had remembered all the things that had happened in his other life.  Ever since he was young and practiced meditating he had seen visions of his past life.  It left him confused about who he was many times.  No one else seemed to know their other lives though.

~*At the school (I forgot what it was called)*~

     Hotaru couldn't help feeling this nagging feeling in her chest.  She just thought it was because she was nervous.  Every time she went to a new school people automatically labeled her as a freak.

"I'm glad we all have our first classes together." Rei said.

"Yea I'm so excited.  I wonder if there are any cute guys hehe." Minako said dreamily.

"You guys we're here for our mission and ONLY our mission." Hotaru said sternly.

"Ok, ok!"

*~*~*

     Duo poked Heero in the head with his pencil trying to get his attention.  Heero just sat there like he didn't even feel it. 

"Heero!" Duo shouted at him.

"Duo shut up, you sound like Relena."

"...Harsh, well anyway I heard there are five new students coming here.  I think they're all girls too!" he said excitedly.

"...And why would I care?" Heero replied folding his arms.

"Heero, this could be your chance to get a girlfriend."

"I don't want or need a girlfriend.  They're just distractions."

     Duo sighed and leaned back in his chair.

"Your loss man."

     The five girls walked in the classroom.  The teacher greeted them.

"Hello girls.  Everyone these are our new students.  Please introduce yourselves."

"Hey everyone I'm Minako Aino." She smiled and winked making most of the boys in the class drool.

"Hello I'm Ami Mizuno."

"Ooh she's a cutie." Duo said staring intently at her.

"I'm Rei Hino." Rei said bowing formally.

     Wufei who was looking down and not paying attention, almost fell out of his chair when he heard her name.  He gazed at her making sure.

'Yep that's her...And that girl next to her looks like Hotaru!  This can't be real.' He thought in disbelief.  He had waited all those years to see them again and it was finally happening.  He just hoped that they remember him.

"Well it looks like Wu-man's awake." Duo chuckled to himself.

"I'm Setsuna Meiou."

"I'm Hotaru Tomoe" Hotaru said meekly.  The students started to giggle and exchange comments.

"She's so pale." One girl said.

"Yeah I know she's, like, freakishly pale." Another student replied.

'Oh great...Everyone is already looking at me weird.  I should be used to this by now…'

     Heero's pendant started to glow again slightly, but Heero wasn't paying attention to it.  He tried hard to not pay attention to the new students, but he couldn't help but wonder.

'That's weird; we don't normally have new students at this time of the year.  And they all know each other…' Heero thought to himself. 

     Heero knew he was being paranoid, but his paranoia had saved him in the past.  He wasn't about to give that 'quality' about himself up.  He made a note to himself to research them after school.

"You girls can take the empty seats in the rooms." The teacher said.

     Minako sat next to Quatre, Rei sat infront of Wufei, but to Wufei's disappointment she didn't recognize him, Ami on the left side of Duo, Setsuna sat behind Trowa, and Hotaru sat next to Heero. (AN: I know its corny having everyone sitting next to each other, but I couldn't help it -.-).

     After the class Quatre and Minako walked out together.  She had asked him a question about one of the subjects in class and they just kept on talking to each other.

"Minako would you like to come over to my house after school?  You can bring you friends." He asked.

"OK!  That would be a great idea.  I'll introduce you to them."

"I'll have you meet mine too." Quatre said.

     Minako motioned for her friends to come over where she was.  And Quatre told the other pilots to come over.  Wufei saw Quatre with Minako and rolled his eyes.

"Quatre trusts people too easily." He sighed.

     While everyone one was introducing each other Hotaru stood behind everyone and stealthily went away unnoticed.  Unnoticed to everyone except Heero that is.  Heero eyed her and curiously followed her. 

     Ami turned around thinking Hotaru was behind her and found that she wasn't.

"Um...guys, where did Hotaru go?"

"She probably ran off somewhere.  She usually does that when I try to introduce her to people.  She tends to feel uncomfortable.  Let's let her be..."  Setsuna explained.

'Somethings bothering her...I saw it in her face when we first came to this dimension.  I'll ask her about it later.'

"Oh...that's ok.  Our friend Heero is exactly the same way...except he pulls a gun out and then goes away....hahaha." Duo said casually.

     Wufei elbowed him and mumble for him to shut up.  Everyone sweatdropped.

"Erm... Your friend has a gun?!?" Rei asked slightly twitching.

"Well...um...it's because he is the Princess's bodyguard..." Quatre explained trying to cover it up.

"Oooh I see." Minako said nodding her head.

"I would like to meet the princess sometime." Setsuna said.

"No you wouldn't." Duo mumbled under his breathe.

~*At the garden*~

     Hotaru decided to be alone for awhile (unaware that Heero was following her) and sort out her thoughts.  Heero suspiciously watched her from afar and studied her movement.

'What is she up to?' he thought.

     Heero had a sudden urge to go up to her, but he didn't know how.  He was never good with just going up to people like Duo or Quatre.  He just continue to gaze until Relena came and glomped him.

"Arg.  Dammit." he said to himself trying to pry her death grip off.

"Hiya Heero whatcha looking at?" she said.

     Heero just ignored her and kept looking.

"Ewww...I'll get rid of the freak for you." She said skipping off into Hotaru's direction.

"No Relena!" Heero yelled, but Relena didn't hear him.

"Excuse me?!  You're blocking my view!  I'm going to have to ask you to leave!"  Relena yelled at Hotaru and gave her a disgusted look.

     Hotaru stood up and looked her straight in the eye.  Relena winced slightly at the look.  Hotaru maybe shy, but she was not about to get pushed around by a sorry excuse of person (aka Relena).  She decided to hold her anger back.  She balled her fist, nodded politely, and walked away.

     The pilots and senshi happened to come right at the scene.

"Relena you have no right to say that to her!  You're a disgrace of a leader for this kingdom!  Leave her alone."  Heero voiced.  And with that Heero went after Hotaru.

     Everyone was stunned and didn't move.

"Was that Heero?" Duo scratched his head.

"Heero doesn't love me!" Relena wailed and ran out of the garden.

"Sheesh, it took her a while to figure that out." Wufei smirked.

"Who was that?" Ami pointed in the direction

"That was the princess." Quatre said.

     Minako gave him a disbelieving look.

"You're kidding!"

"Unfortunately he isn't." Duo said.

"Let's go find Hotaru now." Setsuna cut in.

*~*~*~*~*

     Hotaru wandered down the halls.

'Why am I so different?  I wish I was normal…A normal girl with no powers.'

     She gasped as someone touched her shoulder.  She turned around and came face to face with the boy she sat next to.

"I'm sorry Relena did that to you she had no right…" Heero whispered to her.

     His voice sounded so familiar to her that it sent chills down her spine.

"It's alright, it wasn't your fault." She whispered back.

"Heero."  He stuck his hand out.

"Hotaru." She shook his hand.

     Her eyes they looked so deep and lost.  Heero couldn't explain it.  He couldn't take his eyes off them…off her.

"Um…" Hotaru hinted looking at there hands.  Heero had been so lost in thought that he forgot to let go of her hand.

"Oh, sorry." Heero tried his best not to be flustered.

"It's ok." Hotaru smiled softly at him.

"I'll see you around then." She softly said.

"Yeah." He replied.

     When she was walking away his necklace glowed again.

"What the?"

     Something was defiantly different about this girl and her friends.  He decided to check information on them right away.  He went over to the school library to use the computer.

     Making sure no one was looking he hacked into his usual program that had a list of all the people in the colonies and earth and typed in 'Hotaru Tomoe'.  He pressed the enter button and the answer popped up.

"Oh my god." Heero was speechless.

AN:  I'll give you a clue what the search thingy says when he typed in her name.  It DOESN'T say anything to do with Saturn and their past life and stuff because that was centuries and centuries ago.
