~yay On a Role! Enjoy.~
Hotaru was up and walking by nine the next morning cradling the child in her arms. It came so natural she knew she would be alright. She even came downstairs and showed off the new bundle of joy to the others who filled her ears with baby noises. Even the Starlights broke down at the site of a baby although when Hotaru laughed Yaten caught himself and coughed followed by a humph sound, "so what's his name Taru?" Haruka finally asked. She blinked and smiled, "Thats easy Ruka-pappa.. His name is Saisei. It means Rebirth." she smiled as the others nodded.
Then a knock at the door was heard and Haruka was the one who offered to answer it. Hotaru was a little frightened as she tightened the grip on the child in her arms. Not many people came to visit and Ami wasn't going to come back for a week to check on her and the baby. Ruka was heard at the door, "Oh hello Rei-chan.. What brings you here?.. I'm sorry please come in." then the door was heard shutting and Rei came into view dressed in her priestess robes. She bowed to them, "Have you seen Ami-chan. She told us she was coming here but she never returned. So we were thinking that the birth took longer and she stayed the night."
Hotaru shook her head, "I believe she left early in the evening." the room then became full of an eerie silence until Hotaru broke it, "Well maybe she is off doing something." Rei shook her head, "It isn't like Ami-chan to do something like this without letting us know.. Or someone know." Then everyone nodded to agree. Then the silence filled the room again; well except for the cooing sounds of the baby as Hotaru's fingers tickled his face and chin his eye matched his mothers yet the youth and innocence filled his eyes; not yet subject to the years of death and destruction.
Then the door swung open and in the doorway was a man. His hair short; to his chin. Bowel cut; and black in color. A cloud seemed to pass over the house as his form came into view. His body suit was stone grey as the high collar looked as if it would choke him but it didn't. A sly grin crossed his lips as his gaze fell upon Hotaru and the little bundle in her arms, "So this is the one in the prophecy." he assumed as he invited himself into the house. Hotaru took a step back tightening her grip upon her child as Haruka, and Seiya stood in between the two as the others followed suit. The man laughed, "You think I came alone didn't you." he snapped his hands and another figure appeared before them. It was Ami; or looked like Ami through the blood stained clothing and tattered hair.
Bound together and gaged; she looked to be out cold. The others looked at him as he looked from them to her, "She didn't tell me right away where to find the child and the mother." he looked to Hotaru and softened the gaze, "Now we have a choice" he gripped Ami's neck with his left fist and squeezed it tight hearing a muffles sound coming from her, "you either come with me bringing the child; or" he tightened the grip on the helpless Senshi's neck as she gasped for air, "Or your friend will die in front of your very eyes."
The room was silent as all eyes shifted to each other. They didn't want to risk Ami; she was already in a awkward position and they couldn't hand over Hotaru or Saisei. It was a conflict of emotion and logic. It was until Hotaru stepped forward and nodded, "Let go of Ami-chan, and when she is away from you is when we will follow you freely."
The man smirked, "How can I trust you?" she gave him a awkward look, "You can always trust the word of a Senshi." The others were of course against her agreement with the mumbles and gasps. He nodded and tossed Ami into a near wall where she gasped and curled into herself. Rei; who was closes rushed to her aid wile Hotaru walked closer to the man. Haruka jerked her head back to Hotaru and started to run towards them, "Taru-chan!"
She gave her a reassuring smile before she and the man next to here faded away leaving Haruka falling to her knees and Seiya clutching his fist mumbling something under his breath. Yaten looked to Michiru and then looked away as if ashamed, "Galaxia needs to be told of what happened just now and she wasn't ever aware of the child's birth." with that he turned and walked to the Kitchen followed by Taiki who was silent the whole time.
~~~~In a Void Somewhere (A/N: Okies it is black and it is swirly power stuff.)~~~~
Hotaru found herself in a void of some sort. It didn't bother her much due to the path that lead to the valley of the dead was very much similar to this. The man turned to face her, his eyes matching his suit, a stone grey. He seemed to sit in mid-air as he evaluated Hotaru who had a death grip on the child not thinking to let go of him, "Please make yourself at home. I am known as Junsui."
She shook her head, "I won't be staying long but thank you for the hospitality." He smirked, "Oh on the contrary; you will be staying for quite a while."
Hotaru narrowed her eyes 'what do I do now?' she asked herself and Saturn answered back, 'Well I don't know. It would be easier if Saisei wasn't with us.' Hotaru sighed mentally, 'there has to be something.. You I was thinking for some peace and quiet. I didn't think things would happen this quickly' Saturn laughed, 'expect the unexpected Taru-chan.' Another mental sigh brought her back to her current situation. She could transform, but risk a confrontation that could injure Saisei. Yet her Silence wall would protect them and she could get away, 'we have nothing to lose Taru.' Saturn assured her as she nodded beginning to glow a violet color then in a blink of an eye she was Saturn (A/N: yeah Taru is too cool for a transformation.)
The man shook his head, "You can't escape this place. You'll just get lost." Saturn shook her head as Hotaru slept inside her mind to allow Saturn to appear, "Well you must not know me well Junsui." she said awkwardly; the name not suiting him or a guy for that matter, "I can teleport from any time or dimension to the Valley of the Dead. From there it is easy to find my way back to Earth."
He lost his smile, it was true that Saturn had that ability because the Valley of the Dead had no location. It was just a separate dimension much like the Time Gate or the location they were in now, "Well what will you do? Go into hiding until I find you again; oh and I will find you. It may take me days months or years but I will find you and don't expect me to be as patient. I will find that child and he will either come to me willingly or he will parish" she seemed to end the conversation there and with this she faded away to nothing leaving him alone. Yet she was heard like the wind as she left, "Then let him decide his fate and if he is to face you then we will see who the victor will be." then she spoke no more as a smirk crawled on his face again, "Well then.. We will see won't we." this he took as a challenge placing is chin upon his clutched hand leaning forward slightly.
Hotaru found herself in the Valley of the Dead. It hadn't changed. A blood red path laid before her as it broke off into many smaller paths. People walking along them as if knowing where to go. Saturn heard the sound of her child coming to life in her arms as he made random sounds, "Shhhh my child" she rocked him back to silence, "I must keep you safe until you are ready." she knew what she had to do. Sitting in the silence of the void. She knew what she had to do. The enemy knew who was the mother now. Yet the child will not look this way forever and she knew what she had to do. With that she vanished from the dreary place and ended up in the royal halls of the Crystal Palace. She would ask for their help.
Being in another dimension she didn't know how long she was gone. It had to of been a few days because Ami was bandaged and on her feet somewhat when she arrived.
The whole court stopped and looked to Saturn as she stood in silence knowing that Haruka would not be pleased with a outer senshi needing the aid of inner senshi. Saturn kicked herself as well being too proud, "I please need your aid. More of my Son Saisei who needs it." She knelt to the ground and placed her son on the ground, "please protect him until I come back for him."
Tears had started to come from her eyes sliding down her cheek, "They know who I am and they will be looking for me to get him." she smiled at her Saisei, a smile only seen on Hotaru. She looked back up at the Queen, "please don''t tell Haruka and the rest he is here. Raise him to be a noble Knight of Saturn in secrecy and make him know I didn't just walk out on him."
Her glaive appeared in front of her and she clutched it as tight as her fragile would allow her to, "Until we meet again." Was her farewell when the Court raised a ruckus on what her actions were. She disappeared into the air leaving someone she loved more then anything in the world to the hands of others. She would not see him grow up; it was for the best. She would keep hidden from everyone. Even her outer senshi who were parents to her. Hotaru finally spoke up'Saturn.. Was it really fo..' Saturn spoke out loud to even reassure herself, "It was.. For the best.. It was.. The right choice"
Where she was going to go; she didn't know. She had to keep moving though. Junsui wasn't the only one that would know. He would tell others to test Saisei until it was his turn in the final battle. How long would it be until that time. She was puzzled though about her vision she had with the women and the child. Maybe it would be his first challenge and he will fail being his downfall. She wouldn't let that happen. She couldn't; and she would watch him from a distance. She knew exactly where to go.
~if I went ti fast I am sorry I am kinda wanting to rush ahead to this one part in my head. Now we will go through like gaps in the years,, till then..~
