Chapter II:

Sweet Dreams

"So Hotaru." said Cordillia. "Umm. Y, yes?" Hotaru replied. Cordy responded, "What are we gonna do tomorrow?" "Cordillia, I don't know. What we always do." Hotaru added. "Cordillia!" Joey interrupted, "Get off the phone. Now!" "Joey!" Cordillia snapped back, " don't be so demanding. I'm not gonna get off the phone just to do it with you." "WHAT?!" Hotaru said shocked. Cordillia responded, "Umm.Oh, nothing. Joey is just being a baka." Some strange snickering followed her. "HITOMI!" both girls replied, "What are you doing on the phone!!" "That's it!" Hotaru said, "I said next time you hacked into our conversations, you were gonna get it!" "But hotary.." Hitomi whined. "Cordillia, come on!" Joey interrupted. "Joey!" Cordillia yelled back. Hotaru responded, "Don't call me Hotary, Cordillia!" Then Hitomi, "Cordillia" Then Joey, "CORDILLIA!" "Ugh, WHAT in the WORLD do you WANT?!" Yelled Cordillia. "Cordillia, I wanna." "Oh, shush Joey! I already know what YOU want!" screamed Cordillia. "I think it's best that we should all go to bed, and we'll meet at my house in the morning.." Said Hotaru, "Except you, Hitomi." "Damn." Replied Hitomi. "Goodnight, Cordillia." Said Hotaru. "Goodnight Hotaru." Replied Cordillia.

BANG! BOOM.CRASH! Hotaru jumped out of bed, startled. She ran to her dresser and grabbed her Sailor Saturn transformer and changed it into her silence glaive. She looked at the clock and it was 2:16am. Scared that someone had broken in, she very silently crept into the kitchen. She looked around the corner and met eyes with someone, who was also peeking around the corner. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" screamed Hotaru. The shadowy figure fell to the floor. Hotaru felt something wet at her feet, "Oh my God, its blood! Who are you, stay away." The figure got up and Hotaru backed away, holding her glaive tightly. The figure reached towards her. She closed her eyes tightly. Click! The darkness faded away in the room, the light shined brightly. Hotaru slowly opened her eyes. A tall, short dirty-blonde haired girl stood there in a black cat suit that said Merle in pink across her chest, "Hitomi!!!!!!!!!" Hotaru screamed.

"Uh.Hi," Hitomi said as she put down her cake. Hotaru looked around the room to find food scattered all over her kitchen. Her eyes began to turn red; a big vein in her neck bulged out. Hitomi slowly started to back away, "Like my suit, I borrowed it from Van, too bad it says Merle though. Sorry about your slippers, that cool-aid soaked them. Why'd you say it was blood, I'm not Angel." "Oh Hitomi.you just don't get it." Hotaru said as she grinded her teeth. "Uh.you have a nice pearly white smile," Hitomi said. "Huh, huh, huh. Hitomi, hold still, this will only take a minute." Hotaru said as she raised her silence glaive. "Oh. My..GOD! HELP! IT'S MISTRESS NINE! SHE'S COME TO KILL ME!" Screamed Hitomi. "Oh, no evil Mistress nine, Hitomi, just me.." She replied, her eyes turning purple. "Look, Hotaru, can't we just work out this teensy, weensy, problem out?" asked Hitomi nervously. "Hitomi, we're already working out the problem. I've just solved it." Yelled Hotaru raising her glaive. Then, Hotaru's friend Seto Kaiba came in. "Hotaru?" He asked curiously walking into the filthy kitchen. Hotaru's glaive disappeared and she was still in her scout outfit. "Oh, hello, Seto." She replied. She walked out of the kitchen. When Seto couldn't see her, Hotaru snapped her fingers and a knife came out of the cupboard and went straight for Hitomi's head. The knife landed a few centimeters next to Hitomi's head on the pantry door. On the knife was a note, 'Do not disturb, or you will surely face my wrath!' Hitomi shivered at the thought.

In the living room, Seto and Hotaru sat down. "Sorry I came over so late, I heard screaming so I came over" said Seto, "When I got to your front door, no one answered, so I just came in." "That's OK," Hotaru replied, "Hitomi was just, uhh, borrowing a . cup of sugar! Yeah, she ran out, and was baking a cake." "At two o'clock in the morning?" Seto questioned. "Yeah, umm.Well.. She's Hitomi," Hotaru said with a smile." "I see what you mean," said Seto with a strange look, "Well, good night." Hotaru started to sweat, "Umm. Goodnight....... WAIT! Sorry, I mean wait, and you, uh, forgot your coat.." "Thanks" He replied. "And.Doyouwanttostaythenight?" Hotaru said quickly. Then lights flashed outside, and thunder sounded. They heard the rain beating on the windows. "Well, I wasn't gonna," Seto said, "but.I guess since it's raining so hard, Ok. Thank you very much Hotaru. You are so sweet."

Later, Hotaru and Seto lie sleeping in bed. It was getting really cold, so Hotaru cuddled up with Seto. He wrapped his arms around her, both of them - still sleeping. A satisfied "Hmm" came from the roof. "Another happy couple, Thanks to Me!" said Cordillia, as she grabbed her cymbals, fan, and climbed off the roof. She shut off the sprinklers, and brushed her hands together in triumph.
