Chapter IV:
Determination
"Elliott, to Hitomi Kanzaki's household please." said Hotaru with a slight hint of anger in her voice. Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at a small white house that looked like a shack. Windows were half shattered, the front door was battered, the white picket fence was partially torn down, and weeds (dead and alive) were all over the yard, and wild plants were climbing on the walls. "Well, I guess this is Hitomi's home sweet home. You can go now Elliott." said Hotaru, disgusted, yet sorry for the house Hitomi lived in. Hotaru busted the gate open (since it wouldn't open) and walked towards the front door. Hotaru knocked on the door, but there was no answer. "Knock, knock." said Hotaru. But there was still no answer, so Hotaru pushed opened the door. Inside, the rooms were musty. There was water dripping onto the floor by the overflowing kitchen sink, a three- legged table, and a broken television set with a cushionless couch. No one was there, so Hotaru decided to go into the hallway. As she was walking down the short hallway, there was a cheap picture of a guy with an odd shaped haircut, tan skin, brown eyes, and was wearing a red shirt with khaki pants with big, black boots. "Hmm. That must be Van." Said Hotaru fixing the tilted picture.
After a few minutes opening doors, looking in the rooms, and shutting doors, she finally came to the door at the end of the hallway. "I hope Hitomi's in here." Said Hotaru frustrated, slowly opening the door. She found Hitomi on a queen mattress with no bed legs at the bottom. The room was a dirty pink from the dirt on the walls, a closet with no door found with big t-shirts and tight black pants. One of the windows was completely shattered, and the other one was half shattered with the curtains being white, raggedy, dirty linens. Beside Hitomi's so called bed, was an old telephone on the floor. Hitomi's eyes were closed, and the rest of her body was covered by the comforter. "Oh my god! Hitomi!" Hotaru screamed, and threw the comforter off Hitomi's body. "Hey!" Hitomi yelled. "Ugh, eeww!!!" Hotaru yelled, and threw the comforter back on Hitomi. "Did you call the police Hitomi?!?!" Hotaru yelled to the door (because she obviously didn't want to see Hitomi.) "Yeah, I called because Cordillia took out the gun, and I wanted to get back at her for all the times she was mean to me. Are we still friends Hotaru?" asked Hitomi. "Not anymore! Friends don't make a catastrophe to another's friend!" yelled Hotaru, and ran out of the house. 'How could she do this?' she said in her mind. Water started to fill in her eyes. She started to run. Run home.
When she got home, the adrenaline started to pump even more because she knew what she was going to do. Hotaru changed into her white, knee length silky night gown. She put on a red silk robe and opened the white see-through curtains to her canopy and took a knife out of her robe pocket.
The doorbell rang. Outside was Seto Kaiba. "Hotaru?" he yelled. No answer. So he walked in. He heard sobbing upstairs. "That's Hotaru!" he yelled, and started to run up the stairs. He busted open Hotaru's double doors and saw she was going to cut her arm. "Hotaru, no! Don't do it!" screamed Seto, and ran to Hotaru and grabbed the knife from her hand. Hotaru started crying even harder, and started trying to get the knife, but Seto wouldn't let her. He threw the knife into the fireplace. Hotaru fell back and kept on crying. "Hotaru, get a hold of yourself! What's the matter?" he said, cradling her in his arms, one hand stroking her hair. "Cordillia's..." Hotaru started sobbing, "In . jj.Jail.And it's.all . Hitomi's. fault.." Seto started at Hotaru, shocked. "Cordillia's in jail? Then we'll bail her out." Replied Seto, "It's okay Hotaru."
Later, the two arrived at the station. "I'm going to go get Cordillia out, okay Hotaru?" asked Seto. "No! You have to stay here." Retorted Hotaru quickly. Seto paused for a moment. "Andrew, could you please enter the station and bail out Cordillia Chase please? Here's the money." Said Seto giving Andrew the bail money. "Yes, sir." Replied Andrew calmly, and got out of the limo. After Andrew left, Hotaru lifted her head to see Seto's face. Seto turned his head to see Hotaru passionately gazing into his eyes with her innocent, purple eyes. Next thing you know, they were kissing! Cordillia ran out of the station happily and opened the back limo door to see Seto and Hotaru making out. Cordillia gasped, then screamed in delight, "I'm so proud of you two! You were macking!" Hotaru and Seto immediately got off each other and sat properly in the limo. Cordillia anxiously got into the limo. "So, Seto." said Cordillia jerking Seto with her elbow. "Nothing went on Cordillia." Answered Seto sternly. "Oh, something went on in this limousine. Hitomi? Where are you? Did you take notes? A video recording? Tape recording? Anything?" asked Cordillia. Hitomi popped out of the back seat. "Yup." She said pulling out all the information. "Good, now I can yell at you," replied Cordillia, "You idiot! You little bitch! What the hell did you do that for?!" "Well, I decided to get back at you for all the times you've been mean to me." Retorted Hitomi proudly. "That's it! You're gonna get it!! I can't believe. Get over here!" Cordillia screamed. The limousine left with the two girls yelling.
