Author Notes: Third chapter up! lol! Nothing much to say...:(
Chapter 3
Hotaru was surprised to see another visitor at the lovely home of Makoto. Hotaru stared at her feet for a bit and pondered if she should come back another time or not. This was important for her but she wouldn't want to bother Makoto with something so silly as a love letter from some unknown source. Makoto might not even know how to help her anyway. Hotaru continued to ponder while staring at her feet.
Hotaru gently lifted her head to see who the visitor was. Her stomach began to cringe as thoughts of Usagi and Minako being the visitors who might be there to distract her from her mission of unmasking cupid and seeing if there really is someone who could love a girl that most of the students at school pick on and are afraid of.
A sigh of relief came over her as she saw a glimpse of who the other visitor was. It was Ami. A smile came across Hotaru's face. 'This is good!' Hotaru thought to herself 'Ami might be able to help me as well as Makoto!'.
"Hello Hotaru, haven't seen you around lately. How have you been?" Ami asked Hotaru as she took a seat on a stool.
"Fine, but trouble as well. I came here to ask Makoto something and well, maybe you can help as well, Ami."
Ami looked at Hotaru's face and saw all the emotions that were bundled up and knew something was bothering Hotaru. Makoto saw this as well and wonder if it was something serious or just something of opinion.
"Sure. Just tell Ami and me what your problem is and I'm sure we will be able to help you. If not then I'm sure we could get the other girls an…"
"NO!" Hotaru whose words were sharp to slice the sentence Makoto was trying to finish cut off Makoto. Hotaru didn't mean to be so picky but see rather than have the others involved and would like to just keep it between only a few people she could really trust. It wasn't that she didn't trust the others or anything, she just didn't think they could help her that much with her problem.
Hotaru started to blush when she saw the surprised looks on their faces. Hotaru couldn't believe that her voice could be so demanding and Makoto and Ami weren't ready for that to happen.
There was a long silence between the small group for a minute or too and Ami decided to break the silence.
" so, Hotaru what is your problem that you would like us to help with?"
"Well, Today I was reading my book and the door bell rung so I went to go answer the door. When I got there, there was this letter signed to be from someone named Cupid." Hotaru reached in her pocket and carefully brought the heart covered letter. "See this is the letter I got." She gave the letter to Makoto to look at it. Makoto opened the letter up and read the contents inside. Then a few minutes of reading the letter and Makoto started to blush and giggle a little.
"Sounds like you have been hit from an arrow of Cupid." Makoto tried to say through all her giggles.
Hotaru blush a little and just stared at her feet once more. "So,um…..What should I do Makoto? I do I know if this "cupid" really a person and not some school prank my class mates are trying to pull on me?"
Ami grabbed the note from Makoto and read the letter. Ami even blush a little and started to giggle as well. Ami pondered a bit for a solution.
"I got it! Just go and visit the place were they said they would be! We will also go with you incase it is some stupid prank, which I highly doubt."
Makoto stood up on a chair and flexed her left arm a bit and yelled "YEAH! WE WILL TRACK THIS CUPID DOWN AND IF IT IS A SCHOOL PRANK I'LL BEAT THOSE KIDS SOO HARD IT WON'T EVEN BE WORTH LAUGHING! MWAHAHAHAHAha…ha…. Ha.." Ami and Hotaru looked at Makoto weird and didn't know what to say to that so they just went on like it didn't happen.
"Thanks you so much for helping me out! I'm sure now that I will be ready to face this once and for all. Cupid, you better be ready for me!"
WOW! I finished another chapter but it isn't done yet! I have about 2 chapters left I think? Well anyway, please review and tell me what you think. Do you think this story sucks…. could be better…..Fine…. or awesome. Oh, and I would like to see how many of you reading this think cupid is real or a school prank! TELL ME! Lol!
