~*~*~ Gundam 07: Cosmic Darkness ~*~*~
By: Rogue Angel Barton
Hey! Next chapter's here! Thanks to those who reviewed! I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing. Chao!
After ten short minutes, their picnic was set up. Four huge blankets provide ample place to sit while a huge beach umbrella shaded the entire region. The food was in the middle, where sand couldn't get in. After this was done, Duo and Wufei each grabbed a surfboard, wanting to out do the other. Trowa, Quatre,
Milliardo and Setsuna began to swim.
Heero sat on the blanket and watched as his friends ran into the water. He shook his head; fun... he'd never had that. But it sure looked... fun? Heero shook his head. He was a soldier; there was no need for fun.
"The war is over Heero."
Heero felt a pair of slender arms wrap themselves around his neck. The smell of lavender invaded his mind, as he could smell her. Her small and beautiful face soon popped up in front of him.
"What do you mean Hotaru?"
"Heero, you know what I mean."
Heero watched as she settled herself in his lap. She slowly unbuttoned his white dress shirt as she ran her fingers up and down his well-toned chest. Heero ran his fingers on her cheek as his other hand went up and down the small of her back.
"No, I don't."
"I know how you feel Heero, I've been through a lot too. But please, be happy, the war is over. There is no more need for soldiers."
Heero closed his eyes. Damn it, she knew what he was thinking. She knew him... his inner secrets and his darkest thoughts. He felt soft lips slowly kissing his closed eyelids. They slowly moved down, to his nose and stopped. She was tantalizing him; he just wanted her lips...
"Come on soldier boy."
Hotaru suddenly stood up and cocked her head to one side. Heero opened his eyes to see her staring down at him. His lips curved upwards because of the innocent and playful look on her face. She offered a hand, which he gladly took. Heero stood up and allowed Hotaru to lead him towards the changing room.
"What are you doing?"
"Leading you to the changing room so you can change into your bathing suit."
Heero suddenly stopped. He pulled the violet-eyed angel to him.
"I didn't bring a bathing suit Hotaru."
"I figured that so I brought one for you."
Heero paled slightly. From what he learned about his tenshi for the past couple of days... is that... don't trust her at times. Heero felt himself being dragged to the changing room and sighed. Hotaru pushed him inside.
"Heero start stripping!"
"Hotaru... that didn't sound right."
"HEERO YUY!"
Heero chuckled and then began stripping. Hotaru stood outside waiting patiently. First he handed her his white dress shirt. And then his black cargo pants. Lastly... his black silk boxers which Hotaru DEMANDED from Heero.
"Here's the suit Heero."
Heero grabbed the bag and grumbled.
"HOTARU TENSHI WHAT THE F*** IS THIS?!?!"
Hotaru laughed and leaned against the wall for support. She knew Heero would just die for his new swimsuit.
"I WIL NOT WEAR THIS!!!!!!!!!! YOU HEAR ME HOTARU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Heero, I have all your clothes... even your boxers!"
Hotaru started to run away. Heero growled.
"HOTARU!!!!!"
"If you want your clothes back Heero, you're gonna have to come out!"
Heero groaned and sighed. HE had no choice. Hotaru leaned against the wall, waiting for the Perfect Soldier to make his entrance.
"I really hate you Hotaru."
"Sorry Heero!"
Hotaru heard Heero sighed and knew he was coming out. She called all the guys over and they quickly came. Hotaru whispered to them and told everyone the news. Duo burst out laughing and everyone else was trying to hold back his or her laughter. Hotaru knocked on the door.
"Heero, come on out!"
The door opened... and everyone fell to the floor laughing. Duo was rolling on the floor, Quatre was holding onto Trowa for balance, Trowa was trying to stop laughing, Wufei was crying so hard that tears were coming out of his eyes. Setsuna and Milliardo were leaning against each other for support. Hotaru was slumped against the wall, trying to breathe.
"Guy stop!"
Hotaru opened her left eyes and looked at the steaming Perfect Soldier. The shorts she gave him was too hilarious. They were a bright hot pink, with tiny white roses all over the place. Heero looked down and blushed. HE glared at everyone, but it didn't look so intimidating since he was crimson red.
"He-Heero..... yo-you.....lo-hahahahahahahahaha......ha..... you look so............... hehehehehehehehehe...... adorable!"
Duo managed to squeeze this out before collapsing on the floor once more and rolling around. Everyone laughed harder as tears began flowing from Hotaru's eyes.
"H-Heero.... hahaha....Duo's.......hehehe....ahahahahaha....he's right!"
Heero glared at all of them. He found himself smiling despite his utter humiliation. And the cause... was the black haired angel whose melodious laughter lighted his soul and an inner fire. An idea suddenly struck him as his Prussian eyes came alive with a spark of mischief.
"Hotaru..."
Hotaru couldn't stop laughing so she only nodded her head. Heero suddenly smiled evilly, his voice taking on a mischievous low quality.
"Oh Hotaruuuuuuuuu..........................."
Hotaru suddenly stopped and looked at Heero. She froze and gulped. Despite being dressed in bright pink boxers... he now looked very intimidating. Hotaru gulped once she caught sight of his eyes... the Prussian eyes that now shined with a kind of evil mischief. She stepped back and put her hands up in front of her.
"Now now Heero... don't do anything you might regret later!"
Heero smiled and walked to her.
"Oh believe me Hotaru... I won't regret this."
With lightning fast speed, Heero darted toward and caught Hotaru. Then with a single smooth movement, he lifted her on his shoulders and began walking away. Hotaru screamed.
"HEERO YUY PUT ME DOWN!!!!"
Hotaru began furiously pounding Heero's back and kicked his chest. Heero wrestled to control the girl.
"Stop fussing will you!"
"Put me down YUY!"
"No way!"
Heero continued to walk as the others watched the Perfect Soldier. They were all laughing, wanting to see what he would do.
Heero continue to walk down the beach with Hotaru screaming and punching and kicking.
"HEERO YUY!!!"
Heero grabbed her legs in an attempt to control the brawling girl. Hotaru continued to scream.
"HEERO YOU BETTER NOT DO ANYTHING YOU BAKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Heero remained silent but that look had gotten stronger. Heero walked down to the shoreline and stopped. Hotaru stopped struggling, feeling Heero stop. She gulped and attempted to look at what Heero's planning to do.
"Come on Heero!"
Heero suddenly started walking again and Hotaru scream and hung onto his back.
"Heero!"
Suddenly she heard the splashing of water. She opened her eyes and looked down.
"Heero Yuy DON'T YOU DARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Heero continued to walk into the ocean. His muscular legs easily carrying the two.
"PUT ME DOWN HEERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Whatever you say."
Hotaru smiled, knowing she had won. But suddenly she was flung from Heero shoulders. She let out a good long scream before landing in the water with a loud SPLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hotaru resurfaced to see Heero laughing his head off holding onto his knees for support. Hotaru pouted.
"PAY BACK YUY!!!"
Before Heero could react, Hotaru sprang up and grabbed onto Heero's waist. With all her might, she pulled Heero down, and into the water. The two fought underwater for a minute or two before both resurfacing. Hotaru looked at Heero, whose wet bangs were stuck to his face so you couldn't see him. She laughed as she brushed away his brown bangs with the back of her hand. Heero smiled as he brushed away her black bangs.
"Heero..."
Hotaru whispered his name and Heero felt that everything came to be when his name rolled off her tongue with such ease. Heero traced Hotaru's jaw-line with his fingers and leaned in. Hotaru slowly closed her eyes... waiting for Heero's soft lips to capture hers with such gentle passion. She started to lean toward him as well, trying to just have another taste of his sweet lips.
"HEERO AND HOTARU!!!"
The two snapped back and both landed in the water with another huge splash. When the two resurfaced, they glared at the braided pilot that was being scolded by Quatre, Trowa, Milliardo and Setsuna. Heero sighed and started climbing out of the water. Hotaru followed him and soon came out went onto the beach. The two of them glared at Duo and walked back to the umbrella to dry off.
The two sat down on the towels and began drying off. Hotaru since she was still wearing her clothes began to take them off. Heero smiled, leaned back, and began to enjoy the show. Hotaru, when she reached her dark red spaghetti strap tank top, realized that a pair of eyes was on her. She looked back and discovered Heero leaning back casually; his lips curled up in a satisfied smile. Hotaru glared at him and threw her wet shirt at him. Heero caught it and watched as Hotaru pulled off her went tank top.
Heero's eyes widened. Hotaru was only wearing a really small black bikini, with a small black wrap. Heero felt himself gulp and his whole body suddenly feeling very hot. Hotaru saw Heero turn completely red and smirk. Hotaru Tomoe could still make a guy reach melt down mode. Hotaru decided to be playful. She slowly, on her hands and knees, made her way over to Heero. Heero gulped and smiled, nervous.
"What's wrong Heero?" Hotaru said in a low and seductive voice.
Heero pushed her back slightly.
"Don't play these games with me."
Without another word, Heero stood up and walked to the changing room. Hotaru ran a hand through her short hair and sighed. She had gone too far. Cursing herself, she knew perfectly well that Heero couldn't handle that yet. Let alone that side of her. Hotaru sat on the towel as she leaned against the umbrella. Her head was looking at the sky.
She had gone overboard with Heero, she knew that. But she just wanted to show him the side that not many knew about. Something about him made her go into wild mode, without thought. Damn it damn it damn it! She couldn't control herself with Heero around; something just made her go nuts.
Hotaru watched as Heero stepped out from the dressing room, dressed in dark blue swim trunks. God he looked so irresistible. She could see his six pack abs and his well-toned and strong chest. His strong and powerful arms swung as he walked. His legs were long and muscular. Hotaru looked away, she couldn't look at him anymore, not after what she just pulled. Hotaru knew he was heading her way so she stood up and went into the ocean with Setsuna.
Heero walked away from Hotaru. He was such an idiot! Why was he walking away? He knew she was kidding... but no... He couldn't take the pressure. He stood up, even though all he wanted was to sit there. He walked away, when all he wanted to do was have her. He left her........ when all he wanted to do was love her.
Stepping into the changing room, he punched the wall. He had ruined a perfectly good change with her because he was afraid. Yes, Heero Yuy, the Perfect Soldier, the murderer of millions, the one with the heart of ice, with the ability to laugh in the face of the enemy, was scared.
"Scared? Of what?!"
Damn it, he knew perfect what. He feared her... all that she represented. There she was, lonely and hurt, but she had offered him a way out. A way to have emotions, to love life... to be by her side. And he ruins it, by walking away. It scared him, to have her so close to him.... to want her so badly.... to want her the way he does.
He couldn't stain her. No matter how badly he wanted to kiss her body, to praise her, to make her his. He quickly changed into the trunks that he brought to the beach. Heero sighed, he had to apologize to Hotaru and explain.
Heero walked out and found Hotaru leaning against the pole of the umbrella, looking up at the clear blue sky. Heero slowly made his way towards her, trying to find the word to say sorry.
Heero saw Hotaru look at him. He smiled slightly, but that soon turned into a look of pain. Hotaru stood up and walked away from him. Heero froze, had he really hurt her by walking away. His heart stopped at the thought of Hotaru now rejecting him.
He walked away sadly and picked up a surfboard... might as well do something.
~~~
Setsuna and Milliardo watched as the two had complete looks of pain on their faces. Milliardo turned to Setsuna and asked her what was up.
"I don't know. Those two are kissing one minute, and then in pain the next. I really don't know what to do anymore."
Setsuna slowly leaned into Milliardo's strong chest as Hotaru began swimming towards them. Milliardo watched as Heero paused for a minute, and then pick up a surfboard.
"I'll go see what's up."
Milliardo felt Setsuna's hand on his shoulder and he turned around. Setsuna brushed away his light blond bangs away from his eyes.
"They have to work it out on their own."
Milliardo nodded. He then smiled.
"But that doesn't mean we can't help a little."
Setsuna smiled and listened to Milliardo's plan. She soon smiled and then slapped him. Milliardo just laughed. He couldn't help but think it was a good idea, a risky but good idea.
Milliardo called everyone together as he walked out of the water. Setsuna followed him and hugged Milliardo from the back.
"Alright guys, let's play a game of tag."
Everyone sweatdropped and looked at Milliardo as if he was out of his mind. Duo scratched his head.
"Milliardo, no offense but... that's a baby game!"
Milliardo smiled at Duo and then looked in Hotaru and Heero's direction. Duo, getting the idea, smiled.
"Alright then, I'm not it!"
With that Duo ran off into the water. Everyone watched as the braided baka ran into the water. Setsuna and Milliardo smiled and called out at once.
"Not it!"
The two followed Duo in the water. The remaining five looked at the three swimming away at high speed. Trowa cocked his head.
"What's wrong with those guys?"
Quatre shrugged.
"I don't know... but I'm not it."
"Neither am I!"
"Or me!"
With that the remaining three jumped into the water and began swimming away from Hotaru and Heero. The two left looked at each other. Hotaru shrugged.
"We'll both be it."
Heero nodded furiously. He smirked.
"Let's go then."
The two jumped into the water and began swimming at top speed. The others gulped, they were fast! Hotaru and Heero suddenly disappeared form the surface. They all paled. It was hard enough getting away from them since they were fast, but now they couldn't even see them!
They all looked around, trying to find the two Perfect Soldiers. Suddenly, out of the water exploded Heero and Hotaru. Heero grabbed Duo and dragged him down while Hotaru grabbed the screaming Quatre.
Soon the two resurfaced, completely wet. Duo's braid was now loose as he gulped. Trowa called out to them.
"You two alright?!"
"Yeah."
Muttering, Duo swam towards the shore. Quatre pouted and followed along.
"Two down...."
"Four to go..."
The four turned around behind them, and there they were. Completely wet was Heero and Hotaru, smiling evilly at them. The two slowly lowered themselves into the water, and disappeared once more. Trowa paled and Milliardo gulped.
"This... is not good."
The four decided to split into two groups and swim as fast as they could in either direction, hoping to throw off the two.
Wufei and Trowa swam to east, as fast as they could. Suddenly, Trowa looked behind.
"Wufei!"
Wufei looked behind and gulped. Like two sharks fins were Heero and Hotaru's heads. Trowa and Wufei gulped and swam fast. The two heads disappeared.
"NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"
Wufei let out a scream as suddenly; a pair of hands grabbed his legs and pulled him under. Trowa kept swimming. Another one was out there...
Trowa couldn't finished the thought as suddenly, something strong grabbed him around the waist and pulled him under water.
Milliardo, with great eyesight saw this and gulped. Setsuna looked at Milliardo.
"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea."
Milliardo nodded and the two continued to swim at top speed. It was only time before......... they couldn't even think about it. They headed for the shore, anything to get out of the water.
Suddenly they saw them; Heero and Hotaru swimming like lightning towards them. Heero to the right of them, and Hotaru to the left. Setsuna and Milliardo began swimming faster, trying to get away. Soon, Heero and Hotaru disappeared from the surface. Setsuna and Milliardo froze, looking around in a desperate attempt to find them.
Then they saw the two, like a pair of shadows under the water, circling them like sharks. Milliardo kissed Setsuna.
"Well, if they were sharks, we'd be dead."
"They're close enough."
Milliardo smiled and started to make his way towards Setsuna.
"AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Milliardo felt a pair of arms around his legs and he disappeared from the surface. Setsuna was now panicking; those two were taking it a little too far. She looked around; Heero had taken down Milliardo, which means Hotaru was the one that was going after her.
"Come on Hotaru, this isn't funny!"
Setsuna was met by silence. She gulped and tried to find her 'daughter'. She couldn't see a single sign of Hotaru.
"Damn it..."
Setsuna screamed bloody murder as someone suddenly7 sprang out of the water behind her, grabbed her around the waist, and pulled her back into the water. Setsuna came up a minute later, closer to shore and saw everyone laughing at her. She pouted as she walked over to Milliardo, who was rolling on the floor, and smacked him on the back of the head. Milliardo grabbed his head but kept laughing. Setsuna pouted. She then noticed that Heero and Hotaru weren't around.
"Guys where are Heero and Hotaru?"
Everyone stopped laughing, realizing that they were missing the two. They looked around frantically, trying to find them. Suddenly, they saw a figure coming out of the water. They saw the wild brown hair... it was Heero. Setsuna squinted; Heero was carrying something... or someone.
"Hotaru!"
Setsuna and the others ran to Heero, who was carrying Hotaru in his arms. Setsuna stopped in front of Heero and frantically checked on Hotaru.
"Hotaru what's wrong?"
"When I pulled Wufei under he kicked me, that's all Setsuna-mama. Nothing to worry about."
Setsuna glared at Wufei as she continued to check on Hotaru.
"Setsuna, she's all right, just a little hurt cuz of her ribs."
Setsuna looked at Heero, who was staring worriedly at Hotaru. HE started walking again, towards the towels. He gently kneeled down and placed Hotaru in the center.
Heero brushed away her bangs from her forehead and began drying Hotaru off. Hotaru smiled at him and brushed away his stubborn bangs so she could see his Prussian eyes that were glittering with worry.
"I'm okay Heero, go back and have some fun."
Heero shook his head, sending water all over the two. Hotaru giggled.
"Heero! You're like a giant wet dog!"
"I doubt a dog can kiss."
Without hesitation the Perfect Soldier leaned down and captured Hotaru's lips in a sweet and gentle kiss. Hotaru kissed back, forgetting the world around her and her worries. All that mattered was Heero's tender and sot lips, slowly caressing hers with an unimaginable passion and fire.
The others sweatdropped as the two started to kiss. The two forgot about the fact that they were on a public beach and started one of the most heated and tender make out session anyone had ever seen. Duo scratched his head.
"When are they coming up for air?"
Trowa looked at Duo and shrugged. Quatre blushed and looked away while Wufei snorted and went back to his surfboard. Trowa grabbed Duo's braid and pulled the American into the water. Milliardo picked up Setsuna and casually went back into the water as well.
Heero slowly pulled away, his face flushed. Hotaru looked up at him, her face red as she gently kissed the tip of his nose. Heero chuckled.
"That's one way of getting rid of Duo."
Hotaru nodded and smiled.
"Go back and have fun Heero, I'll be fine."
Heero shook his head as he leaned against the pole of the umbrella. Hotaru pouted and poked him in the chest.
"Go have fun... I don't want you to miss out on a count of me!"
Heero shook his head and kissed her forehead. Hotaru closed her eyes and smiled contently. Heero's eyes twinkled with a kind of inner peace. He slowly bent down so that Hotaru could feel his hot breath tickling her ear.
"I won't miss out on anything... as long as you're there with me."
Hotaru blushed. Heero Yuy was one of a kind... and he was hers. Hotaru put a hand behind his head as she lowered his towards hers. Heero smiled before he was caught in a passionate kiss from his tender and beautiful tenshi.
Hotaru sighed as the evening breeze passed over the beach and her hair blew gently in the wind. A pair of strong muscular arms was wrapped around her thin waist and her back was leaning against a strong and muscular back into which she seemed to mold perfectly.
"It's getting cold."
She smiled at the husky voice; she could feel his chest vibrate as his melodious voice pulled her from her thoughts. She turned her head to look into his Prussian eyes that were shining with a new inner happiness.
"A little more time... please?"
She saw Heero nod hesitantly and smiled. The sun was slowly setting on the horizon. It was a beautiful site. The sea met the sky, as the two seemed inseparable as the half of the burning fireball connected the two. The sky was lit with purple, orange, red, yellow and blue. The clouds seemed to be white with shadows of the colors of the rainbow.
"Can we stay here forever?"
Heero chuckled. She was so innocent sometimes.
"Sorry baby, we can't."
Hotaru pouted when she heard him call her baby. She was no baby! She was 20 for god's sakes!
"You're cute when you pout."
Hotaru heard Heero and blushed a deep scarlet.
"And when you blush."
Hotaru continued to blush even deeper. Heero chuckled and smiled down at her.
"Hotaru..."
Hotaru looked up at Heero and saw that his eyes were twinkling strangely.
"Yeah Heero?"
Heero turned her around and Hotaru placed her hands on his strong chest. He pulled her close and kissed her forehead.
"I know that we've... still have secrets that we haven't told each other."
Hotaru looked away, knowing that Heero was mad that she didn't tell him everything. Heero hand suddenly caressed her cheek as he turned her head so she was looking into his eyes.
"I know that... I'm not the easiest person in the world to deal with..."
She smiled.
"And that we'll probably have to face a lot in the future."
Heero lowered his forehead to hers.
"But you know what?"
Hotaru shook her head. Heero smiled.
"As long as the two of us face it together..."
Heero bent down so that his mouth was by her ear. His hot breath sent shivers down Hotaru's spine. Heero whispered his voice husky and cracked with emotion.
"...there is nothing that can tear us apart... my tenshi..."
A tear made its way down Hotaru's cheek. Heero pulled back and gently kissed the tear away. Heero smiled. Hotaru smiled through her tears. Slowly, Heero lowered his face to hers. Then, in that magical moment, their lips connected. And with that tender and passionate kiss, sealed away the promise of never ending love.
