~~~~Four Months Later~~~~

The time had flew by with the house so full of people. For the first couple months Seiya and Haruka would play with her and let her go outside to run around under their watch; that was until..

~~~~Flashback (about two months back)~~~

Hotaru was playing in the garden located behind the large estate of Haruka and Michiru. Seiya and Haruka promised to put aside their differences for now and had actually gotten along fairly well. Hotaru was running through the roses chasing butterflies and honey bees when she suddenly crouched over, "Ruka-pappa! Oji-Ya!" She yelled as loud as her voice would allow her to. In fact this caught the attention of Michiru who was in the kitchen looking out the window. Yaten and Taiki followed Michiru after seeing the look of terror on her face.

Haruka and Seiya were already at Hotaru's side and Haruka picked her up, "What's wrong Hotaru!?" she was withered in pain as she whispered, "my tummy hurts." she winced again and huddled closer to her pappa, "I'm scared pappa" No one else admitted it but they were too and they didn't know what to do or what was wrong.

Muchiru ushered Haruka holding the still in pain Hotaru into her room while she grabbed a wet cloth and a bowl of cool water. That was all they could do as the Starlights whispered in the corner. All three nodded and Taiki left the house as fast as he could running back into town.

Hotaru would have small breaks in the pain yet when the other Senshi thought it was over; she would let out more whimpers in pain jolting in bed.

Haruka and Michiru looked to be upset and the remaining two looked emotionless. They never got too emotional about many things; or showed it at least. Yet in fact they were worried and occasionally looked out at the setting sun waiting for their partner to return. He did just before the twilight had begun. He wasn't alone though.

Bursting through the doorway he was pushed aside by none other then Ami Mizuno with a bag in her hand. Taiki got a death stare from Haruka as all five of them were rushed out of the room by Ami. She stood at the door way and said in a serious tone, "No one enter until I come back out." then she shut the door before anyone ever uttered a syllable.

No one ever knew what Ami was doing or how she would help her but Michiru was the calmest of them all, "Well Ami-chan went through school and became a doctor for the Palace so our Taru is in good hands." Haruka wasn't so sure.. Her little firefly was hurting and all she could do was watch and do nothing. It took about an hour and a half before Ami-chan stepped from the room and closing it slightly she motioned the five to follow her. Most likely so Hotaru wouldn't hear or be interrupted.

"Well.. I had no idea Taru-chan was with child. Yet after I found that out it was easy to help her." The other closed in on Ami all at once talking making out mumbles and words were hard to place it with the question until Haruka pushed through making them stop as she stood face to face with Ami, "Ami-chan.. Is my Firefly alright? And her child?" Ami nodded twice, "Both the mother and child are fine although I had my doubts at first.. The little one is strong though and Taru is sleeping."

The others let out a sigh in relief as Ami let them but the look was showing she wasn't done, "Well this isn't over. Taru's body is weak as it is and now she is caring for another life so she will be extra weak. I would keep her in bed or keep her activities to a minimum. Unless an emergency comes to play I will be in once a week to check on her progress. She does need a doctor to look after her and the baby." That tone at the end changed to more of a lecture to Haruka and Michiru. They knew better and Ami knew it making her more angry. She bowed to them and without a word walked out of the house.

All five sat in silence for a few minutes after Ami had left until Yaten put his hands to the back of his neck, "Well; this has been an interesting night. All's well and ends well." He walked towards the kitchen mumbling something about fixing something quick for dinner sense no one had eaten anything sense lunch. Taiki had followed only after giving a smile to everyone to ease the tension. Seiya though; he stood their looking between Haruka and Michiru who seemed to be lost as they kept their eyes looking towards the ground, "we were foolish Ruka-chan to think we could of taken care of Taru in her condition."

Haruka was silent as Seiya blinked, "Well I don't fully understand why is she weak in general." The two looked up and stared for a little while then Haruka looked away, "We can't explain it either.. Taru has a frail body, she always has been that way sense we have known her. Even reborn she can't escape the weakness in her physical nature." Michiru continued, "We believe her lack for her physical abilities is made up by her power as a Senshi."

Seiya blinked again, "Her Power? I thought she was the Watcher or the Valley of the Dead." Haruka laughed, "She is called the Rogue Senshi of Death, and Rebirth. Her body forever the shape of a child, yet her spirit or essence as old as the Galaxy. A phrase, or drop of her Glaive will end an entire civilization to begin a new one. Watching the Valley of the Dead just comes with the territory of her name."

Seiya couldn't believe that the innocent child could hold such power as to destroy a planet or Galaxy. Out of the three Starlights; he took his role as an Oji-san seriously. Yaten would show a hint that he cared deeply for Hotaru even through the similar cold exterior Seiya had seen in Saturn's eyes only once. Taiki was too involved with the job at hand.

The quiet had made all of them thought over the last two months forget the task at hand. It was never really specified. All they were going on was a prophecy.

~~~~End of Flashback~~~~

Even with five months sense Hotaru's arrival no one had attacked; and no more scares from Hotaru had happened either. Again the house was filled with the forgetfulness of the lurking dangers that could exist in the near future.

Hotaru sat on the front porch watching the butterflies play with the hone bees. She waned to be in the garden to play too.. Yet she knew this time there was more at stake if she did. She had been quiet the last two months and the secret of her with child stayed with Ami. She did hear about Chibi-usa's birth and she wished she was able to pay respects to Usagi. It was too late for much of anything though. Her body looking more and more like she was with child as she rested her hands upon her bulge more out of habit now..

Her mind drifted into a afternoon slumber and with that she started to dream. It was about her childhood.. Standing alone in her castle wearing her princess gown always hoping to be presentable in case of any visitors. Looking the age of eight she was much younger then she was now. In the corner of the room she was in was her Planet Guardian Saturn dressed in the Grey-purple fuku and blood red bows on her chest and lower back. Again her pure heart crystal illuminated the room, "No one cares about you Hotaru." The little girl looked up to her other self, "They do! I Know they do."

Saturn shook her head, "No one will accept death as a friend. They will fear it and no matter what you think you will still be alone." the tone became more stern and Hotaru started to cry. Saturn though didn't move as she looked down upon her other self, "my Oji-sans love me and Ruka-poppa.. Michi-momma. You can't say they don..." she was cut off short, "They only do this for the child we bare!"

Hotaru blinked and wiped her tears sniffling, "Why do you fear having true friends Saturn.. I want them and they are in front of us yet you push them aside so easily." Saturn shook her head and sighed, "With life Taru comes Death. As the wielder of it one day we will have to face your friends in the Valley of the Dead. Maybe we will be the one to cast death to them with you watching from the back of our mind. Bonds with mortals bring only pain." she paused, "our child; will be mortal and no matter what you think about.. You will eventually lower the glaive and bless her with the eternal slumber."

Hotaru shook her head, "Death brings life.. A senshi crystal will never be extinguished and so I may cast the death to them but they will be reborn into a new time with each other.. We are never alone and because of past experiences you feel it will always be like this." Then foot steps are heard approaching as both Hotaru and Saturn looked surprised (A/N: yeah in the mind of Taru here.. So I would be surprised too if another person came in.)

Both turned to the door and awaited for the figure to step in; yet the foot steps stopped and never were heard again Hotaru blinked and looked to her other self, "Mistress 9 maybe?" Saturn narrowed her eyes, "Possibly. She still exists in the depths of your mind. Foolish and futile to try and escape with me awakened." Both stood in silence and Hotaru broke the Silence, "Saturn-chan. You are my closest friend but I have other friends too that I trust. I just wish you could trust in them too and stop thinking you're alone in the universe. We aren't alone weather they were my friends or not.. We will have a child now and a child means that we will never be alone."

Saturn blinked and nodded, "You're right Taru-chan.. I guess old habits die hard."

Hotaru opened her eyes to see Haruka and Yaten looking at her, "sleep well?" Yaten asked and Hotaru nodded as a yes to reply. Haruka helped her to her feet and she slowly walked back into the house, "Dinner's ready Taru-chan." Hotaru nodded and smiles. She had gotten somewhere with her other self and she was happy for that yet the third presents made her feel uneasy but wouldn't worry anyone else with it. All of them worried for too much about her as it was. No one left her alone but to sleep. So for now; she would keep everything to herself.

~I know the plot is slowing.. No worries the climax will come shortly.. Remember R&R and more will come.~
