Hotaru awoke in her bed the next morning. Her dress was on the chair next to her, as well as all her jewelry. The events of last night were still fresh in her mind. She looked at the clock and grunted. It was six. For once she would have loved to sleep in. Then something snapped.

"Oh no! Christmas is only two days away! The shopping!" she whispered loudly to herself.

She scrambled out of bed and got ready. Quietly she ate breakfast and snuck out. She hoped she remembered what everyone wanted. First was the music store. There she bought Ami a flute and Michiru a new case for the violin Haruka was getting her. She went into all kinds of store for her sisters and friends. For MIna she got several cd's that she had wanted. For Lita she got a new set of cooking pots and pans. Raye would get a new priestess rode, Rini would get a few dolls plus some new daggers. Serena and Darien got a certificate to the spa. This left one person.

"What would Heero like?" she asked herself as she rested. He wasn't the type to wear any kind of jewelry or watches. She should have asked him last night. She looked up at a store and smiled, it was perfect. She bought what she wanted and left for home. She had to run to her room to keep everyone from seeing there presents. She hid them in time as Michiru entered.

"Hotaru we have demons at the park." she said. Hotaru nodded and grabbed her pen. Michiru led her to the computer. It showed about 23 of the things scattered around the park.

"We never get a brake around here do we?" Haruka whined. The others came in, a little upset at being woken up. "Alright. Michiru you stay with Rini the rest of us can handle these freaks. Well spread out once we reach them. Remember to try and get information out of them before killing them. That means you Raye." Raye grinned and they left the house. Once a good distance they transformed into there slayer uniforms.

The demons were everywhere. Setting things on fire, chasing people, and throwing mud at everyone. Ami ducked as one of these mud balls passed over her head. "There more like children then actual demons." she said. They spread out and began the kill.

"AQUA MIST." Ami cried out enveloping the park in a thick layer of fog.

"Nice one Ice. VINE WRAPS" Vines wrapped themselfs around several of the demons. They would be the ones they questioned. They set to work on killing the rest for now.

"SILENT SURPRISE" it became quiet for three seconds then the ground exploded below four to the demons.

"FLAME ARROWS."

"LOVE WHIP." The combined attacks blew away 7 more. Wind eagle cut through the rest with her sword. Ice owl let the mist down. The two Lighting wolf had were struggling against their binds. "I don't think you'll be going anywhere. Now who do you work for." Eagle asked. One spat at her but she blocked it with her cape. She then picked him up be the neck. "Tell me and we might let you live an extra day."

"Alright." it squeaked. It opened it's mouth to say more when a black fire engulfed it and it's companion. Eagle released it quickly before the fire touched it. " RAVEN!! I said to wait till we got information!" she yelled. "But I didn't do that!" Raye screamed back

"No....I did." they all turned to face a man sitting on a branch of a tree. His platinum hair blew and had a metal mask over his eyes. He was wearing a black cape. Lita stepped forward.

"Who the hell are you?" He smiled. "Many call me Milliardo . But you ladies would best know me as ...Lightning Baron." the girls backed up. He laughed. " I see my reputation pursues me well. Now which one of you is Dark Tiger?" Hotaru hesitated but stepped forward. She wasn't going to show fear now. He inspected her and smiled.

"You would serve well as a vampire if I didn't have to kill you. Now were is the other? The young Light rabbit?" Hotaru tensed. How did he know that name? Rini had never been on a hunt before. "She's not here. And you will not have her." she yelled at him.

"Well I will once I have you my dear." he waved his hand and a dark bubble surrounded her. "Let her go!" Mina yelled trying to blast the bubble away. A wooden arow zoomed ahead and aimed for his heart. He saw it and moved, but it had broken his concentration on the bubble and it disappeared. Five clocked figures jumped down in front of the girls.

"Get out of here Milliardo. You will not get those two girls as long as we live. Which I might add is a very long time." Shinigmai said.

"Rest assure it you five have disturbed my business for the last time. I will be back to get them." Milliardo said and vanished. The five turned to the girls. "You ladies alright?" Shinigmai asked. They nodded as Lita and Haruka helped Hotaru up.

" I think that barrier just took some energy from her so she couldn't blast her way out." Mina said. Then looked at them. "Why did you help us? I mean we're supposed to be enemies."

"Who ever said we weren't? We just don't want Milliardo to get that power too. Our goal is only the same. Now take care of your friend, she is after all what he wants." Perfect Solider said. They turned to leave. Hotaru gasped as she tried to stand. "No wait..." they turned to look at her. "Thank you...I know we're enemies....but...you saved me. Thank you." she breathed then fainted. Haruka lifted her up and headed back towards the house. The boys nodded and also left.
