"What was that for?" He asked quite puzzled.
Hotaru stared to the ground and couldn't bare looking into his eyes. What had taken her to kiss him? She closed her eyes to memorize the moment. It was so nice to feel his lips on hers, a few seconds of shared tenderness.
"I'm sorry." she babbled.
"What for, Ru?" (I guess I found a new nick for Hotaru: Ru.*G*)
"I-I obtain no right to kiss you."
He put a finger under her chin and forced her to look up at him. To his surprise her cheeks shone in a deep red. "You are so brave, lil' firefly. With this I give you the right to kiss me whenever you feel the need to."
Hotaru's eyes widened when she heard his words. What was he about to do?
Without another word her leaned down and kissed her passionately. She didn't want him to stop, she wanted to stay in this sweet embrace, wanted to feel his body close to hers. Time stopped for both.
After several moments Hotaru opened her eyes. No, this wasn't a dream, it was reality, but she had still problems with realizing it. His emerald pools peered into her.
"You are a mystery to me, know that, Ru?"
"Oh, so you are to me, Ten. I remember wanting you since your stay on earth. However, I was way too small and too young to get your attention, I guess."
"Yes, you were a child. Haruka would have killed me. And the only woman on my mind was our princess."
"I'd say that Haruka would kill you now, too." Both giggled. "There's one thing, Ten-chan. How have you been able to find me here? The waitress in my school didn't give you my address, did she?"
"You have seen that? Oh you. and you didn't interfere?"
"No" , she said like a teacher, "remember, you had hurt me."
"Alright. I found you when I studied the whole telephone book available in a telephone cell."
"You are making fun of me!"
"Never! It's the truth!"
"Of course. You study a whole book to find me.Sounds like stolen from a mushy soap opera."
"I'm not mushy! Do you really think I'd lie to you twice?"
"No, but it's still very, very mushy!" She teased.
"Oh you.I gonna get ya!"
Hotaru freed herself from his embrace and started running through her rooms. They ran through the kitchen, the cleaning room, but Hotaru had a clear home bonus.
"Wait until I get you into my fingers!" Yaten teased.
"What will you do then?" An exhausted Hotaru questioned.
Inside her bedroom there was no way out.
"Seems like I got ya!" Hotaru tried to climb over her bed to get away, but he caught her half-way and tracked her down. Both breathed for air and were very exhausted. (Remember: Both hate sports.) "What are you gonna do with me now?" she asked, pretending to be scared. "Let's see what we do with pretty little girls." Suddenly he spotted a scar on her arm. "Ru, what's that scar coming from?" She realized that her left sleeve had worked up and displayed some of the scars she had given herself. "Ru, please answer my question!"
When she still kept silent, he moved the sleeve up to her elbow. "Who has done that to you? Who has tortured you like that?"
"Ten, it was me." She whispered.
"You? But why." he stopped in midst-sentence and stared at her. He was speechless.
"It must be hard for you to understand why I have done that, but trust me, sometimes I don't know myself. Maybe I wasn't strong enough to kill me in a fast way."
"Why would you want to kill yourself?"
"Why? I had hoped that at least you would understand. You also said that you are lonely, that nobody accepts you the way you are. I wanted to know if I'm still alive. If I feel the pain, I am alive, right?"
"Oh Ru!" He took her in his arms and tried to calm her down, to ease her pain. Maybe her situation was even worse than his was and now he understood why she wouldn't talk to him. He felt her hot tears on his arm when he held her close in an embrace. Then he started to whisper sweet things into her ear to soothe and comfort her.
In the sky of the dark night the planets Saturn and Uranus formed a line together with the planet of love, Venus.
(remember: Hotaru is a Capricorn, her planet is Saturn, and Yaten is an Aquarius, his planet is Uranus.)
Well, this is not the end, of course, even if it may seem as the end. I'm thinking about some new enemy for the Sailors which will force them to get back together. Or Haruka and Michiru are coming over to Hotaru for a surprise visit. let's see.
