Rei and Mina were the only ones left. Once out of sight they changed back into there original form.

"That was weird. Considering that Lighting Baron was the one who had created those five." Mina noted as they walked into a café. Rei was to deep in thought to really listen as they ordered what they wanted. Then she spoke.

"What if they didn't want to become immortals." she whispered. "I mean apart from slayer's people would do anything to gain that immortality. We don't because we now the true pain and danger of it." Mina seemed to be thinking about this.

"You might be right. I mean if I was a vampire I would hate it. Not being able to stay with your family or loved ones."

"Exactly. What if they loved their life the way it was." she said stirring her cappuccino. Mina nodded and took a bite of her pie. They both gazed out the window as the wind picked up. Once they were finished they got up and went shopping for x-mas presents.

Setsuna stared through her time stream at the events happing to her friends. She knew a great battle was drawing near. How near she couldn't tell which worried her. Usually she could see everything but for some reason Fate was going to allow her, and neither was Destiny. The girls were falling into a trap, and the boys aren't the ones setting it. This was going to get messy and it looked like she would have to get involved.

The rest of the day went by quickly for the girls. Hotaru spent most of it resting and watching Rini. It was finally Christmas eve and the house...er...mansion was busy as usual. Lita and Michiru were cooking and yelled at anyone who entered the kitchen. Michiru had to actually chase Haruka out with a frying pan to get her away from the desert they were making. Rei was getting the luminaries(1) ready outside. Ami and Rini were finishing the decorations while Hotaru and Mina put some music on and arranged the furniture around.

"Phew. Man Hotaru this couch was a lot heavier than I thought." Mina whined. Ami looked over her shoulder.

"Hotaru should you even be doing stuff like that? That incident yesterday took a lot out of you." Hotaru looked at her blue haired friend. "Don't worry about it Ami I'm fine. Oops" she said as she dropped it. Mina let out a scream and charged at Hotaru who ran.

"HOTARU!!That was my foot!!!!" she yelled. Haruka fell to the floor laughing as the usually caring and outgoing girl chased her friend around. Finally Mina calmed down and let Hotaru breathe. "Next time try to ...pay...attention please." Hotaru nodded.

"Haruka why don't you get off your lazy bum and help us." Hotaru wheezed. Haruka just smiled.

"Fine, fine." she said getting up to help move the table.

"The guests should be arriving soon everyone ready?" Michiru asked as she and Lita set up the food bar. Haruka and Michiru were having a little business party. They nodded and ran up stairs to change. It wasn't going to be fancy like the masquerade they went to, but they did have to dress up. After about ten more minutes the door bell rang, issuing the beginning of the night.

It was another ten minutes before the girls decided to go down stairs. Rini was already down there enjoying all the praise she was getting. Lita and Rei made gagging faces which made the others laugh. To tell the truth they were bored. There was nothing ever to do at these parties and every year they would sneak away. Once Michiru was occupied, one by one they headed up the stairs and into Hotaru's room.

"I have a great idea. Ami and Rei go get your flute's. Lita your keyboard, and Mina your Christmas music." she said. Not knowing what the little slayer of Death was planning they obeyed and came back. By then Hotaru at set up a little area on the roof. They caught on and got in their positions. They gave Mina a nod and began to play Silent Night. Mina began the verses.

Si..le..nt night

Ho..ly.. Night

all...is warm...

All...is bright...

People in the streets stopped to look up at hem as they played on and listened. Among this audience were our favorite group of boys. They too had stopped at the music and looked up. Their eyes growing wide as they saw who was playing the music. They listened till they finished.

Sle....ep in hea....venly

pe....ace......

Sleep...in Heaven...ly

Peace.......

Everyone clapped as they finished up. The girls smiled and bowed. Hotaru then stepped forward and changed the music. The others rested as she began her solo. She began to play The Christmas Song(2). She closed her eyes as she played on. Not even glancing at the music. She swayed a little now and then, and finished with a bow. Clapping and cheering was heard and she bowed again. Lita poked her.

"Don't look now but we have a few very important people in the crowd." she whispered. Hotaru scanned the crowd until her eyes rested on Prussian blue ones, and smiled.

They played two more songs then indicated for the boys to meet them around the back. The girls climbed down though Rei slipped and was caught by Wufei before she hit the ground. He set her down and looked to see if she was alright.

"So what brings you guys here?" Mina asked.

"Well babe, we wanted to see the lights. What were you ladies doing on the roof on Christmas Eve?" Duo asked in return.

"Our guardians are having a business party. We always get bored at those things, so Hotaru came up with the idea." Ami explained. "About that you all had dates to that dance didn't you." she said to Lita, Rei, and Hotaru.

"Well...a...yeah we kind of did." Lita stuttered. "But that means shy Ami did to. And of course Mina." she replied slyly. Mina and Ami blushed and hung their heads.

"Don't worry it's not like we're going to tell." Hotaru reassured them.

"Tell who?" Duo asked. Rei turned to him. "Well our guardian, Haruka doesn't like us having boyfriends till we're moved out of the house."

"Haruka? Isn't she the onna we heard yelling at Hotaru the day she stayed with us?" Wufei said.

"Yeah...wait that was your house she stayed at?" Mina nearly yelled. They nodded. "Wow...small world." she said rather to her self than the others.

"And Wufei how many times do I have to say it? Don't call us onna's!" Rei snapped.

"Well it's what you are!" he snapped back. They kept exchanging curse words and comebacks. The others chose to ignore them.

"Well we better be getting back to the party. Michiru will be mad when she finds out we're gone...again." Lita sighed. The girls nodded reluctantly and said good by. Hotaru and Lita had to drag Rei off before she literally attached Wufei. "Man you two are an unstable couple aren't you?" they said. The girls waved one last time then went in.
