Crimson Stain: Broken Reflections
It was a day before school starts and they had gotten the supplies Hotaru would ever need to be comfortable in her new home.
Hotaru was sitting outside on her balcony rail, with her feet hanging on the outside, over looking the mystical garden; deep in her thoughts.
Unknown to her, a pair of onyx eyes were watching her every move; slightly wondering what was on her mind.
These people seem nice, they took me shopping and helped me settle in nicely, that blonde, Quatre, even set up a room for me. But are they being sincere?
~*Flashback*~
Looking over her shoulder, Hotaru spotted a bouncing figure with golden streamers flowing behind her heart shaped face.
"Hey Usagi-cahn! What are you doing here? Your house is the other way."
"Oh, I just wanted to invite you to a party Minako is having. We couldn't find you at school."
"A party? Why is Minako throwing a party?"
"It's a surprise party for your birhday-" Usagi blurted out, than realizing what she had said, covered her mouth with a gasp. " Uh-oh.you weren't supposed to hear that. Rei is going to kill me! Don't tell Mina or the others ok?!"
"Wow a surprise party.for me? I thought no one remembered."
"Of course for you Hotaru-chan! We would never forget. Or give up a chance to get rid of you.Please don't tell!"
"Oh sure, of course Usagi, don't worry I wont tell."
"Ok, good. Here is the address, be there at 9 ok? Oh I got to go now, my mom wants me home to help around the house. Ja ne!"
"Ja Usagi-chang!" Hotaru said, waving off to the blonde bundle.
Looking down at the slip of paper Usagi gave her she smiled brightly; a new found joy in her heart. Wow they're so nice. They remembered my birthday and went through all that trouble to make it a surprise.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Scene change: park^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"So did you do it meatball head?"
"Of course Rei, I'm not a dumbass."
"Could've fooled me."
"Hey, watch it! I pulled it off ok?"
"She's so easy to fool, that dim-witt."
"Duh Makato, she thinks we're her friends.psh.what a joke."
"Yea Mina. So you gave her the address right?" (Usagi nods)
"Good, now we need to confirm with the guys about our plan and give that freak the best sweet 16 present of her life."
"You're brilliant Ami."
"I know."
The group of girls walked out of the shade of a grand oak tree laughing at what was to come for their little 'friend'.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Scene change^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A petite girl, wearing a black leather mini skirt with an iridescent purple top made her way down an alley. The outline of her body illuminate by the yellow glow of the street lamps that hung in the alley. Her black boots making soft 'clunking' noises as she walked.
Her eyes darted about her looking for something, for someone, anything to tell her that she wasn't alone.
Did Usagi give me the right directions? Did I take a wrong turn somewhere? Maybe Minako is renting a warehouse or something since she loves throwing huge parties. Naw.not for me though.
There was a sound causing Hotaru to whip around, standing there clutching her leather duster for warmth and comfort. A cat came out of a trashcan and started to trot away from her disappearing into the shadows of the dark alley.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Hotaru was about to turn, when a man chuckled, causing her to freeze.
"Well well well, what do we have here. What's a little gal like you doing out here huh? Looking for a little fun?" A man about 20 years old [she's 15] stepped out of the shadows, from where the chuckle had come. He was wearing dark jeans and a white under shirt with a green-checkered shirt over it. His face held a proud smirk and his eyes shown with lust as he looked Hotaru up and down.
Hotaru shrunk back at his stare, not liking the feeling in her stomach at all.
"There's no way out sweetie." Came a voice behind her. Hotaru gasped and jumped out of the way as another boy around 19 stepped out. He was wearing baggy black cargos with a red muscle shirt. His slicked brown hair shined in the night. "You're surrounded, and don't even try to scream for help or we'll have your throat before you could even get a note out of those pretty lips you have." He sneered, smirking as he saw Hotaru's eyes widen.
Three other guys stepped out, completely surrounding her, all looked to be 19 or 20 years of age.
Looking around, she found that there truly was no escape, not knowing what they were going to do with her, she got into a fighting stance.
"::laugh:: What do you think you're doing little girl? You think you could fight us? All of us?" Said the first guy with the dark jeans.
Gathering up as much courage she had left, Hotaru said with no fear, "You think you got me figured out so well? You're underestimating me."
Now all the guys broke out in laughter. "Oh.we know you well enough.Hotaru, yes we know you well enough."
"::gasp:: How did you know my name?"
"Well, you didn't expect us to deliver your birthday present without knowing your name did you?" The second guy said, raising an eyebrow and smirking again.
Everything came together, as Hotaru suddenly realized what they meant. Her eyes went blank. They-they-they set this up. Minako, Usagi, Rei, Makato, even Ami. Minna.they did this. Her heart, that had just healed had shattered once again into millions of pieces.
"::girly giggle:: You finally realized it Hotaru-chan ?" A mocking voice sounded from the roof top.
Looking up, Hotaru saw the people she was just thinking about, the people who she thought were her friends; the people who broke her heart.
"You are such a baka, you actually thought we liked you and that we were your friends? Seriously Hotaru, why would we befriend you, you mutant?" sneered Rei.
"You don't belong here, your too dangerous. How many more people are you going to hurt with your 'accidents'?" Ami said quietly but looking accusingly at Hotaru.
"Why are you doing this to me?" Hotaru asked sullenly, looking at the ground.
"We're doing the world a huge favor by getting rid of a freak like you." Makato shouted angrily.
"Well, we better get going, don't wanna be late for your party now do we, huh Hotaru? Have fun with her boys." Minako said waving over her shoulder walking away.
Each girl faded into the shadows leaving only Usagi left.
"Oh and happy sweet 16 Hotaru." She added sarcastically. Then she too disappeared into the night laughing.
"::sigh:: You gotta love those girls. Such sweet little things. Great in bed too." Said the leader. "Huh.time to have some fun boys. You heard the lady."
They all cheered, some licked their lips, some took out their knives. At once they started to walk towards Hotaru who was in the center. She just stood there motionless, like an empty shell. Her head was still down, her bangs covering her eyes.
The guy with slicked back hair stepped in first, getting ready to punch Hotaru. Lifting up his arm he swung, but was stopped by a small pale hand. Looking down his hazel eyes were met with cold blank purple ones that were rimmed with an eerie glow of violet.
"What the.WAAHHH!!!" He screamed as Hotaru tightened her grip breaking several fingers. Cocking her head to the side in an innocent way, as if not knowing the actual damage she was causing. Releasing the boys hand, no crumpled, he staggered back against a wall.
"Get her!!" All at once the four boys left attacked her. Hotaru's eyes came back to life, blinking a few times she focused her sight before a fist came at her face. Knocking her back a few feet.
They ripped at her clothes, slashed her stomach, arms, and legs. Crying out but could not be heard. One after another punches and kicks were being thrown at her until she was nothing but a beaten and battered bundle.
Staggering back, she slightly opened her eyes, to see the laughing faces of the men that attacked her. Tripping over her feet she fell onto the dirty pavement on her side, dirt and mud splattered on her blood soaked clothes, which were now in shreds. Her breathing became shallow and things around her began to black out. The five men closed in on her as her vision became blurrier.
"Freak." And with that said, the boy with the broken fingers raised his right leg and kicked Hotaru in the stomach with all his might, knocking the wind out of her once and for all.
~*End flashback*~
::sigh::
They had left her to die in that alley, alone with the cats and rats that were dispelled from society; just like her.
She had woken up to the pitter-patter of rain later that night. Picking herself up and blinking away the raindrops that splashed on her face, she walked back towards her house, limping and holding her stomach. The rain, leaving small streams of red liquid flowing down her body and face, was now washing the blood that had dried on her clothes and limbs away.
If people were to see her, they would have covered the mouth as if they had seen a walking dead girl; which wasn't far from the truth.
Haruka was pacing back and forth in front of the living room window, worried sick. When he caught sight of his beloved 'sister' teetering up the walkway. He had ran outside just in time to catch her as she lost consciousness from exhaustion.
Only Haruka can I trust. The one who saved me.
~*Fast flashes*~
"Papa! Papa pick me up, papa!" A chibi Hotaru said raising her hands and jumping up and down at a man's feet.
::SMACK::!
"Shut up Hotaru! Don't call me 'papa'. It's disgusting." Said the man in a white lab coat.
~*flash*~
"Shut the hell up and get in the B-scanner [body scanner]"
"But, sir, I will-"
"Don't but sir me, experiment 254. I am well aware of what the B- scanner will do to your body. That is the point. We want to see how much you can handle. Now get in!!"
"Hai sir."
~*Flash*~
"Turn up the voltage, 2,000."
"Professor Tomoe, Hota-::ahem:: experiment 254 has not gone to this level yet, it might cause some damage."
"Do not disobey me, or suffer the consequences. Up the voltage to 2,000, NOW!"
~*Flash*~
"Ladies and gentleman please watch." he said while stepping back to allow his collegues a better view.
" Experiment 254, attack formation Isis." Ordered the professor with round glasses, in a calm confident voice.
The girl in the tube, lifted her arms in a fluid motion making circles [an: like subzero in mortal combat] drawing her hands closer and closer together. A ball of purple light was created and than a cat eye appeared in the ball. "Fire." Said the doctor. Without blinking the girl pushed her hands forward, ejecting the ball of energy.
~*Flash*~
Shuffling and shouting were heard, as the ground shook. Opening her eyes she looked out of her glass room, smoke was everywhere. Sparks from electrical wires could be seen. Sitting up from her white thin bed and swinging her legs over the side, so the material of her thin white cotton smock draped over her knees.
People, people she didn't recognize were running. Heavy boots clunked as they carried other young men and women, experiment just like her. Though failed, according to the professor.
"Get these people out of here!" Shouted a man with sandy blonde hair. He was standing with his back facing Hotaru, instructing the other men and women in camouflage suits out of the building.
Turning around, slowly after seeing everyone was out, he looked at Hotaru, shocked that he had missed her.
"Don't move, I'm going to get you out!"
Hotaru just stared at him, as he made his way to the sliding door. Not knowing the code, he smashed it with his fist. The door slide open and he ran inside.
"Don't worry, I wont hurt you. My name is Haruka, what's yours?" The man asked giving her his hand to hold and smiling kindly.
Hotaru looked at his hand than back at his face, she stared into his eyes and found that they held the truth.
"Experiment 254, Hotaru Tomoe." She answered.
Experiment 254? So this is what we've been hearing about. Those sick bastards!
"It's nice to meet you Hotaru, why don't we get out of here huh?"
Seeing her nod, he took her hand and led her out of the door. Draping his jacket over her and than picking her up princess style, as to not let her bare feet touch the glass that littered the floor and shielding her from the cold outside.
Hotaru's eyes widened as he saw the dead body of the professor on the floor, his eyes open wide in shock, pupil dilated and six bullet holes in his chest.
Bye bye, papa.
~*End fast flash*~
Opening her eyes slowly revealing faded violet orbs, she felt a few drops of water on her arm, than it started to sprinkle leading to rain.
Why.?
Resting her head on the wall of her balcony she closed her eyes, letting the raindrops wash over her face.
She sat like that for a couple of minutes when suddenly the rain stopped. Furrowing her eyebrows in confusion she opened her eyes. She saw black cloth and metal wires.
"Onna, what are you doing sitting out here in the rain? Your going to get sick." Said the man that was standing next to her.
Looking over to her side, Hotaru saw Wufei in a white undershirt and red and black plaid pajama drawstring pants. He was looking at her through the corners of his eye. Holding up an umbrella, shielding them from the rain.
"I was just thinking." Hotaru answered quietly, not showing any emotion.
"It's 1 in the morning and you're completely soaked." He scolded.
"What are you doing on my balcony?" Hotaru asked, ignoring his statement.
This caught him by surprise, and he was at a loss of words.
Good question, why am I here?
"I was outside on my balcony watching you and saw you sitting out here 'thinking' and I got worried when it started to rain. You looked as if you fell asleep so peaceful and as a protector I'm not going to let you get sick."
As a protector, he wont let me get sick. As a protector.
Swinging her legs back over and landing with a soft thud and splash, she nodded to Wufei and headed back into her room. Putting on her robe as she walked to the bathroom.
"I'm sure you know your way back to your room, good-night and thank- you for doing your job." And with that she closed her bathroom door leaving a stunned Wufei.
He slowly walked out of her room and closed the door quietly and went back to his room next door.
Closing the door to his room, he leaned against it and slid down. Propping his elbows on his knees and holding his head with his hands, he thought of what he had witnessed on his balcony.
She had shown so many emotions, happiness, pain, anger, betrayal, relief. Than she went back to a blank stare. Those monsters, how much damage did they inflict on her?! But sitting out there in the rain, she had looked tranquil and at ease, so beautiful.
Shacking his head to clear his thoughts, wondering where his train of thought had turned in that direction. He stood up with a sigh and walked up to his drawer taking out a new change of clothes. After drying his hair he climbed under his covers.
A golden dragon embroidered in his black silk sheets.
Resting his head on his pillow, he looked up at the ceiling than to his left out the window where it was still raining.
An image of Hotaru's face with the rain softly landing on her pale skin, clouded his mind as he fell into a deep sleep.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Shacking his head to clear his thoughts, wondering where his train of thought had turned in that direction. He stood up with a sigh and walked up to his drawer taking out a new change of clothes. After drying his hair he climbed under his covers.
A golden dragon embroidered in his black silk sheets.
Resting his head on his pillow, he looked up at the ceiling than to his left out the window where it was still raining.
An image of Hotaru's face with the rain softly landing on her pale skin, clouded his mind as he fell into a deep sleep.

Done for today~!! So how was it? Oh and don't think wufei is the lover boy.muahahaha ^^ I'm sorry for those of you who like to know the coupling in the first few chapters, but I'm not going to do that for this story. So you're just going to hafta read on hehe ^^;; don't wanna give away too many hints now..teehehe
So how was it? Did it make sense? The fast flashes and all? The fight scene wasn't at developed as I would have liked haha but I wanted to condense it. I spend more time on fight scenes usually but I didn't want to dwell on Hotaru getting beat up.
Please review ~!! ^______________^
