************************** Suzaku no Hime-sama Rating: PG Haruka's Proposal **************************

Usagi woke up the next morning in her bed. She thought through what had happened last night, and she was more than curious as to how she got into her bed since the last thing that she remembered was crying into someone's chest. For some strange reason, she couldn't remember who had comforted her last night. She assumed it to be one of her senshi, so she went out to ask them if they were the ones to comfort her last night until she fell asleep.

"Haruka-san! Michiru-san!" Usagi called walking out of her personal part of the bedroom.

"Hai, Usagi-sama!" Michiru said from the kitchen.

"Where's Haruka-san?" Usagi asked walking into the kitchen.

"She went out with Hotaru-chan," Michiru said.

"Where?" Usagi said picking at some of the food.

"Just somewhere," Michiru said with her normal but sly smile resting on her face.

"What are you three up to?" Usagi asked suspiciously.

"Oh nothing," Michiru said changing the subject by adding, "Breakfast is ready, why don't you sit down and I'll give you your plate?" Usagi did just that and forgot about Haruka.

"How do we know that we can trust you?" Haruka asked while narrowing her eyes suspiciously to emphasize the point.

"How did I know that I could trust you when you showed up at our doorstep?" Hotohori asked.

"He has a valid point, Haruka-papa," Hotaru pointed out.

"Yes, he does," Haruka said thoughtfully. She had been here for an hour interrogating the young emporer. She knew that he liked her princess, but she wanted to make sure that it wasn't a hunt for power like Mamoru had been. She wanted to make sure that her princess would be safe with this man before her. The ceremony was to take place in two days, because it would be then that the stars would be lined up in just the right place for the ceremont.

Haruka's face changed from suspicous to a happy-go lucky look that only a few people ever got to see. "So when is the wedding to take place?" she asked with a smile on her face. Hotaru got a large sweatdrop, and Hotohori nearly fainted from such a statement.

"What wedding?" Hotohori asked when he got his composure back.

"Why your's and Usagi's," Haruka said with a confused look on her face as if he were alredy supposed to know that.

"Haruka-papa, I don't think that he was thinking of marrying yet," Hotaru said with a giggle at Hotohori's very shocked look.

"But Hotaru, you know what Setsuna........." she didn't get to finish her sentence since Hotaru interrupted her.

"I know, but don't say a thing!" Hotaru stated firmly.

"Yes Serenity-sama," Haruka said mockingly. Hotaru glared at her. There was a giggling sound coming from somewhere. Hotohori picked up his sword (Way cooooool sword), and walked over to where the noise was heard from. He pointed his sword at the intruder, only to find Nuriko and Tamahome standing there.

"What are you doing?" Hotohori commanded to know.

"Nothing," they both said at the same time. They started to giggle out of nowhere, and this made Hotohori mad.

"Why are you laughing?" Hotohori asked.

"Because we want to laugh, this is just so cuuuuuuutttte!" Nuriko said. "The emporer is in love with the Suzaku no hime-sama!" Hotohori rolled his eyes and used his sword to point towards the door, "Get out," was all he said to the two people.

"I can't believe they were spying on us!" Hotaru exclaimed.

"Neither can I," Haruka said.

"Will you please leave us?" Hotohori said.

"Sure!" They said at the same time.

"Now back to business,"Hotaru said rubbing her hands with a develish grin on her face. When she saw the other two people look at her wierd she looked confused and said, "What?"

"I didn't teach you that Hotaru!" Haruka said thinking of what Michiru would do if she saw Hotaru do that.

"I know, Tasuki taught me that yesterday," Hotaru said. "Is it a bad thing?"

"Just don't do it in front of Michiru-mama!" Haruka said thoughtfully.

"Ok."

"Well anyway, we know that you are in love Usagi-sama, and that she is in love with you, we just need her to say so. I know the perfect circumstances to cause that. But anyway, since she is a princess, her marriage is to be arranged like all the other ones. Usually, the queen of Venus would pick the person that the princess is in love with, and they would be the princess's husband, but the queen of Venus is dead, so that leaves us to do the deciding for her. We have found that you would be the perfect match for her. We know that you think you're in love with the Suzaku no Miko, but we also know that you are really in love with our princess. So I would like to arrange a marriage between you and our princess. This will allie you with the most powerful being in the entire universe. That is why she is called the Suzaku no Hime-sama."

"What am I supposed to say to that?" Hotohori asked.

"Yes or no, just so you know, Haruka-papa is asking you if you would like to marry Usagi-sama." Hotaru explained.

To Be Continued............
