Ending of last chapter..
"Valentine's Day? Is there a dance? Are you going?" Shino asked.
"Yup. Yup. Nope," Hotaru said, answering all his questions nonchalantly.
"Why not?" Shino asked. I wonder why she's not going, Shino thought, trying to figure out why she wasn't going. (AN: lol)
"Ionno," Hotaru shrugged and looked up at him intently. He looked sad all of a sudden, the twinkle in his eyes was gone. Yet he still looked very handsome, his hair was falling over his eyes and Hotaru didn't think she could hold back any longer, she JUST had to touch his hair and see how it felt.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I was just wondering.. would you like to go to the dance with me?" Shino asked anxiously...

Hotaru's Love by Ice1Taru - Chapter 2
"Uhh.. I dunno.. maybe.. heh..," Hotaru started.
"Wha....?!" Shino asked confused. Never in his life had a girl ever turned him down. Never had a girl ever said "maybe" to him, 'Oh, HELL no', he thought. Apparently, this girl didn't know who she was talking to. He would show her.
Just then, Sensei-Izu walked back into the room and the bell rang, the whole period had gone by so fast. Hotaru quickly rushed out of the room, hoping Shino wouldn't follow her, which he didn't. She felt disappointed, in an odd/twisted way, she had wanted him to follow her..
The rest of the day went by slowly. More slowly than usual. One of the reasons why school sucked.
Hotaru walked home from school that day, in a daze, thinking about Shino. She imagined his jet-black hair, falling all over his eyes, those beautiful pools of gray, with a that special twinkle. Hotaru sighed. If only he would like her, she would be the happiest girl to ever walk the Earth. She wondered what if would feel like to be in his arms. She sighed again. If only..
In another part of town, Shino was also walking home from school, thinking about Hotaru. He sighed unconsciously, thinking about her amethyst eyes, how uncertain she had looked when he had asked her out. Even if he did have a big ego, he still liked her. Her beauty sparked his imagination. She seemed so weak and small and alone and.. and.. he wanted to help her, be there for her, hold her in his arms and never let her go. If only..
Hotaru walked into her house, more like mansion. Her father, who was a scientist, needed a big place to live so that he could perform his experiments at home and not be away form Hotaru, he loved her more than anything, especially since her mother died. Also, he had always wanted to know what it would feel like to live in a big place and he had wanted for Hotaru to have everything, to be comfortable in life, not like he had been when he was a young boy. His father had to work three jobs just to support his family and his mother was constantly in bed, and eventually had died when young Tomoe was merely 5 years old.
"Papaaaa!" Hotaru called, hoping he wasn't in any of his labs doing experiments again. He worked way too much, but she loved him nonetheless. "Papa!"
"Hello Hotaru," Professor Tomoe said coming out of one of the rooms in the long corridor. "Let's go into the kitchen, I need a drink, it's way too hot in that laboratory."
"Okay," Hotaru replied as they walked into the kitchen. She fixed them both strawberry smoothies, sat down at the counter, and took a sip of her smoothie; enjoying the cold, refreshing taste.
"How was school?" Professor Tomoe asked as he also took a sip of his smoothie.
"It was okay, Papa, nothing interesting happened, really," Hotaru answered. 'Nothing interesting? Hahahaha, Are you saying that Shino is not interesting?' Her conscious mind asked her. 'Of COURSE he's interesting! I never said that he WASN'T interesting'
"Hotaru, dear, you look angry, are you all right?" Professor Tomoe's concerned voice interrupted Hotaru's thoughts.
"Er, yes, Papa, I was just thinking..," Hotaru answered calmly as not to alarm her father.
"Oh, okay.. but, you know that if anything's wrong, you can talk to me, right?" Professor Tomoe said.
"Of course, Papa, don't worry, it's nothing.. really.. I'm going to do my homework now..," Hotaru responded. She smiled brightly as her father and walked back up to her room as Professor Tomoe walked back to his laboratory to finish his experiment.
Hotaru walked up the stairs quickly, trying not to spill her smoothie. She opened the door to her room, stepped inside, closed the door, and placed her smoothie on top of her worktable. She changed into a comfortable pair of old jeans and a purple 3/4-sleeved shirt. She opened the French doors to her balcony and walked outside. Taking a breath of fresh air, she looked out at the great view of the lake that was practically right next to her house. As she looked up at the sky, she could have sworn she saw a picture of Shino winking at her from a cloud. She shook her head, trying to clear her mind and failing miserably.
Shino walked into his apartment. Well, actually, it wasn't just his apartment, he shared it with his brother. His brother was a sophomore at Tokyo Technical College, which was a mere few blocks away from their apartment. When Shino had turned 16, his parents had decided to move from the Ainu islands of Japan to England. Not wanting to leave his home country, which he dearly loved, Shino had decided to stay with his older brother so that he wouldn't have to move. Finally, after his parents' consent, he had successfully moved into the apartment a few months after turning 16. Now, mind you, it wasn't a dorm room-sized apartment either, it was a huge apartment. Very well paid for by Shino's parents, of course, how else would a 16-year-old and 20-year-old get ALL that money.
Shino walked into his room and looked around at the mess. He sighed as thoughts of Hotaru clouded his mind once again. This time, he imagined what it would be like to kiss her lips, which looked like the most beautiful rose petals, so soft and pink. He began to clean up his room, hoping it would clear his mind. He first tackled dirty clothes on the floor, then his closet, then his bathroom and his balcony. He didn't have any French doors like Hotaru or a lake to gaze upon, but he did have some dark mahogany doors with forest green and gold lining on the edges; and the view form his balcony was pure brilliance, especially at night. He could look out at the city, dark with pretty specks of lights everywhere, sort of like the sky.
Hotaru gazed at her paper, took the last sip of her smoothie, and looked down at her paper; shocked. She had drawn little hearts in the margins of her math homework, and had written Shino's name in every single little heart. It was odd because she hadn't realized when she had changed from doing boring geometry problems to drawing hearts with Shino's name in them. 'Wow, I've fallen.. I've fallen for Shino..,' Hotaru finally admitted to herself. Then she blushed, as if that was too impossible to happen.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
AN: Yup, I got over my lethargic state and finally fixed this chapter up. It's kind of short, but you get to know the main characters more, so yeah.. I think I'm changing this story from what I thought it was going to be in the beginning.. Heh, I don't know if Shino really has a big brother, but hey, it's my story, so *smiles* I can do what I want.. I hope I'll write more chapter soon, more longer chapters.. Keep hope alive! Yeah! Love, peace, and chicken grease.. ^_^v
