Hotaru allowed herself a small yawn as she shifted her bag on her other shoulder. Walking to the door of the room Duo told her she could stay at, Hotaru opened the door and walked in. She sensed someone in the room and took out her gun. She then noticed someone on the bed. Walking slowly to the bed, she noticed it was Heero.

He was facing the window since the bed was by the window. The silver moonlight shone through the window, casting a gentle pale silver light on his face and his wrapped chest. One hand was under the pillow, and the other one under his head. Most of his chest was wrapped by bandages. His legs were covered by a dark blue satin sheet. He looked so, cute. Okay, Hotaru might be the perfect soldier and emotionless one, but she did know when someone was cute. Heck, he's more than cute, handsome. She shook her head, she knew what he was, he was more than handsome, and he was drop dad gorgeous and breath-takingly beautiful. She gently brushed her hand against his stubborn soft silk bangs and pulled her hand away. She shook her head and growled. She was the perfect soldier, she didn't think of such things. She found out what happened the last time she showed and trusted her emotions.


"What the heck are you doing in my ROOM?"


Hotaru shook herself out of her daze and noticed that Heero was staring at her with intense blue eyes and a gun pointed blank range to her forehead. Hotaru put back her emotionless mask and glared at Heero. Batting his hand away, she simply stared at him.


"Duo said this was the only free room."

"What do you mean? This is one of the biggest mansions in the world."


"A lot of the politicians wanted to stay since there are the Gundam pilots and everything they would be protected. And all the other rooms are full."


Hotaru smirked as she noticed the slight blush that tainted Heero's face. He shook his head and then nodded.


"You...er...can...stay.....I'll....be right back."


She watched as Heero ran into the bathroom and then water can he heard. Seconds later, a dripping wet Heero Yuy came out, his teeth chattering because he was freezing. He saw the smirk she had and simply looked away.


"You can have the bed."


Heero grabbed a mattress from under the bed and laid it on the floor.


"Yuy, you're hurt so you should take the bed."


Heero shook his head as he grabbed a pillow and a blanket.


"I've had worse injuries, and besides, Quatre would kill me if he found out that I allowed a lady to sleep on the floor."


Hotaru was hesitant but finally nodded. She went into the bathroom to take a shower and change.


Heero shook his head once she walked into the bathroom and let out the breath he didn't know that he was holding. She was one heck of a girl, unlike any of the others. Heero let out a sigh and closed his eyes. He was tired, and soon he was slowly drifting to sleep.



Hotaru came out of the bathroom and saw Heero Yuy lying on the mattress. She slowly walked to Heero and brushed against his bangs again. She let out a small smile before returning to bed.





^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hotaru heard a small click and she woke herself up. She took out a gun and saw that Heero was no longer sleeping. She carefully stood up and walked towards the balcony. He had left the door wide open and she saw that he was standing on the balcony, his hands on the railing and leaning against it. His wild hair gently swayed as a breeze played with it.



"Sacred moon of eternal beauty,
Thou pale fingers caressing the surface of the earth,
Giving it light and life in the darkness of the night.
A light in the everlasting battle of good and evil.
With thy silver light, thou hast given me a hope.
Thy light prevails against my deepest fears.
Thy light, like a torch in the darkness of my soul.
Thy light shall drive away all my the demons,
Who claw away at my innocence,
My soul,
My hopes,
And the light within.
Continue to shine down upon the earth,
For the day that your gentle fingers stop reaching the earth,
That shall be the day that we shall loose the eternal battle,
With our inner demons."



Hotaru allowed her jaw to drop ever so slightly. That was unlike anything that she thought the Perfect Soldier was capable of. And be coincidence, he was praising the moon, her home, and her power. She gently slipped into bed as her mind raced with the poem repeating itself in her mind. His pained and soulful voice slowly allowing each of the words to gently roll off his tongue. She blinked as Heero walked back into the room. After he was settled in, she looked at him from her bed.


"Thou art a true fighter for the light,
Never fearing, never tiring, and never slowing.
Thou shall not rest till thou rid the world of evil and darkness.
And yet gentle warrior,
Who shall protect your soul and heart?
From the darkness that creeps onto us all.
The very thing that can destroy us,
Or turn us against our true nature.
Who shall protect you?
O protector of peace?
Who in this uncaring world would stand up for your
Battle and win it for you?"



As Hotaru said the last line, she slowly drifted off to sleep. With one question in mind, who will save the hero, Heero Yuy?

Silver eyes twinkled with happiness as they looked upon the scene unfolding below. They lighted up when another presence entered the room. The figure turned to face the new person and smiled.


"And what might bring you here my warrior?"


The melodious voice rang out everywhere. The voice was kind, sweet and yet sorrowful. The voice of a goddess.


"I see you've been watching her again."


Sad silver eyes met with dark forest green.


"There is nothing I can do but watch, and pray that she makes the right choice."


The other figure allowed a giggle to escape from their throat. The other looked up and raised a delicately curved silver brow.


"And what may I ask is so funny?"


"Madam, you should not worry about her. The reason that she was brought there is simply because they know that she shall make the right decision."


"They have been wrong before, or do you not remember?"


The other figure winced at the goddess's harsh words. Of course she remember when they'd been wrong...when she's been wrong. The goddess's eyes soon softened.


"I'm sorry, it's just that I don't know what they hope to accomplish with deciding to bring her here."

The voice was full of frustration and sadness as the goddess looked at the figure in the shadows for an answer. The shadow warrior only shook their head gently and laughed slightly.


"Don't you see it yet? Don't you see a certain aspect from the past yet? And haven't you been listening to the poem?"


The goddess's brows furrowed. As it dawned on her what was happening, she soon smiled. However, the smile that seemed to fit her face did not last long.


"Will they realize? It's been a long time since they have been who they were. And both have changed, unfortunately for the worse. And don't tell me that 'it is in the eye of the beholder' since you know what they were like."


"But they have gotten stronger. Yes it's true that they've changed, but they now know where their strengths lie."


The goddess's eyes returned to the room below.


"But they have lost the light within, or so they think. I must go now, there are many things I must discuss with the others."


The one in the shadow bowed as the goddess wrapped her white wings around herself, ad then in a flash of bright light, she was gone. The other stared at the room before turning to leave.


"Please find your ways, or else all is lost."
