Harpygirl91-Here's chapter 9! I have to say I'll probably end this story in about eleven or twelve chapters. I'm also thinking about writing a sequel but I want to get the reviewers votes on that first. Oh and you'll have to wait a while on the third chapter of my other story. I'm at my dad's right now and my third chapter for 'Follow the Stars' is saved on the computer at my house and I'm not going to be home until June 25. (I have camp and I have to help my mom with my little siblings' room. We have a present for my sister that I have to help her with. And after camp I'm going to take about a day's rest before having to put up with little siblings or going back to my dad's) So with out further ado let's start the chapter! Oh and bunches of thanks to all of the reviewers!

Chapter 9: Explanations and a kidnapping

(About 7:00 pm and the same day as last chapter)

The group sat down in a circle in Kaede's small cabin after eating supper and Rei explaining who the Sailor Senshi were and Hotaru telling about the Silver Millennium.

"So you two are warriors who command different elements and are reincarnated from a civilization from ten thousand years ago!" Sango said raising an eyebrow.

"Yes. Only one of us didn't die during the Silver Millennium and that was Setsuna-mama." Hotaru said taking a sip from her tea," Our kingdoms are beginning to revive themselves in the future and in a few years a new moon kingdom will be established starting with Crystal Tokyo."

"Why would it be named Crystal Tokyo?" Kagome asked.

"Because most of them were born in Tokyo and were all raised there. In time a castle will be built on the moon and we'll move there after Chibi-Usa is born." Titan said leaning back on the wall," once she's born it will symbolize a new moon kingdom and the beginning of a new alliance."

"I just hope Sailor Moon gets over her habit of being late." Kagome teased causing Rei and Hotaru to laugh.

"I think she does. She has to mature to be prepared for the duty of being the queen of the moon just like we have to prepare to be the queens of Mars and Saturn." Rei said shaking her head," But there's only so much changing someone can do in a few years. Believe me she'll have to gain a few more brain cells so Mercury doesn't have to translate everything for her." The girls started laughing again and Sesshomaru even snorted.

"I find that hard to believe that she'll get smart enough that Mercury won't have to translate everything." Sesshomaru said looking straight ahead coldly," But I do know one thing if she or the other senshi don't have children their kingdoms are doomed to end."

"Well we don't have to worry about Saturn or Mars with how you four have been acting." Inu-Yasha snorted.

"I'd watch it mutt, our you'll won't be able to have pups." Titan remarked quickly. Receiving a glare from Hotaru and Kagome.

"Titan, if you don't be nice I'll have mama summon Rhea and tell Rhea you've been being rude." Hotaru threatened causing Titan to shut up and grumble under his breath about blackmailing princesses.

"You're good with blackmailing." Sango noted," So what would Rhea do to him?"

"She'd probably kick him where the sun doesn't shine or not let him within a twenty feet perimeter of her for about two weeks and she has done that before." Rei said smirking," Titan was miserable for those two weeks and when she let him close to her he was kissing her every spare moment he had with her." Titan blushed as the girls continued to giggle.

"Hotaru-hime, now that you told us about the sailor senshi and the Silver Millennium would you please tell us who this Mistress 9 is?" Miroku asked.

"Mistress 9 was, I mean is, an entity that possessed me a few years ago after an accident in my father's lab." Hotaru started and continued to tell about the Witches 5, Pharaoh 90, and about her attacks that Mistress 9 caused her to have.

"So she caused you to attack one of your classmates and that made them hate you even more?" Kagome asked," I heard about that from one of the transfers from that school. It gave them about five seconds of fame but that soon was over when everyone found out that you had been adopted by Haruka Tenoh, Michiru Kaioh, and Setsuna Meioh. I can't wait to tell them they were wrong about you and you're one of the greatest and kindest people in the world!"

Hotaru blushed and whispered," Arigato, Kagome-san, that is very nice of you to say but please don't mention me around my old classmates. I'd rather they not find out I'm still going to a regular school. There were some bullies that I really don't want to see again." Hotaru smiled gently as Sesshomaru placed a hand on her shoulder," Besides I'm happy with how my life has turned out since then."

"'Good things come to those who wait'" Kaede said nodding her head," You were patient and didn't question your destiny and you were rewarded for it."

"Hai. And I'm so happy I did because if I didn't I never would've meet any of you." Hotaru said as Sesshomaru gently hugged her," But something bad is going to happen soon I can sense it. There's a black aura that's not Mistress 9 and whoever it is, they're powerful."

"We still have Naraku to worry about." Inu-Yasha said coldly," So why should we help you with your problem if you're just going to leave after words with out helping us?"

"We'd be indebted to you for helping us. We would be honored to help you defeat Naraku." Hotaru said smiling at Inu-Yasha.

"Hmp. Who said we needed your help?" Inu-Yasha snorted.

"Inu-Yasha!" Kagome yelled," SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT!"

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow." Inu-Yasha said at his face meet the floor.

"I need to get some of those beads for if Kouga starts being rude." Rei said smirking.

"That actually sounds like a good idea," Hotaru said smiling," Kaede-san do you have any more of those prayer beads?" Sesshomaru paled as he realized what Hotaru was planning. (I wish I had some of those prayer beads too. I need to put them on this jerk that was in my class so he knows not to mess with me)

"Why would you need them, Ru-chan?" Sesshomaru asked pulling Hotaru closer to him.

"Well to make sure you don't go starting a fight with your brother, so that you and Haruka-papa don't start arguing like you used to, and just to keep you in line." Hotaru said smiling innocently at him.

"I promise to be a good little boy, mommy." Sesshomaru said smirking.

"OH and that's another reason!" Hotaru snapped and tried to hit him playfully on the head but Sesshomaru caught her hand and kissed her lips gently.

"Go get a room, you two. There are little kids here!" Rei and Kouga yelled at the couple.

"I'd keep an eye on your woman, wolf, because if she keeps up that attitude she won't be around much longer." Sesshomaru growled.

"Fluffy-chan, be nice." Hotaru said glaring at Sesshomaru," If you don't I won't kiss you for a week."

"I can think of other things to do than kiss." Sesshomaru said smirking.

"Stop that!" Hotaru shouted and hit him.

Everyone but the guys started to laugh and tell their stories.

Until…..

(About two hours later)

Hotaru gently hummed a lullaby to Rin as she tucked Rin underneath some blankets. "Sleep tight, Rin-chan." Hotaru said and placed a gentle kiss on Rin's forehead.

"Mmm. Night, Hotaru-mama." Rin said before entering dreamland.

Hotaru giggled and carefully walked out of the cabin avoiding all the other sleeping people. The only ones awake were her and Sesshomaru, who was standing watch incase anything suspicious happened. "Ru-chan, you should be asleep." Sesshomaru said walking over to Hotaru.

"I can't sleep." Hotaru said wrapping her arms around herself and shivering.

"Everything's going to be ok." Sesshomaru said wrapping his furry boa around Hotaru to keep her warm," I'll make sure of it." (Ok when he said 'everything's going to be ok' he knew Hotaru was having nightmares without her saying it out loud and he's comforting her. Man I with there were more guys like that!)

"Sesshomaru…" Hotaru said looking up at him and smiling," Thank you so much. I don't know what I would've done if I'd never meet you."

"No Hotaru, if I had never met you I might still be the heartless bastard I was before I meet you." Sesshomaru said hugging her," I'm a fool Hotaru. And I'll never let you go. I love you too much."

"I love you too, Sesshomaru, not just because you're the Seon's reincarnation but because you're strong and caring, but you don't want to show your feelings because you think it makes you seem weak but that's not true. I love you as you not only as Seon but as you." Hotaru said hugging him back.

"How cute too bad it can't last." Said a cold MALE voice from the shadows.

"Come out Naraku and show your face!" Sesshomaru shouted pulling out Toukijin and preparing for attack.

"I didn't come for you Sesshomaru. I came for Hotaru with a little present for her." Naraku said showing his face and holding something in his hand.

Hotaru gasped and covered her mouth with her hand to keep from puking. Naraku held a head in his hand but not just any head. The head had once belonged to Mistress 9. (Ew to the max! He's holding a dismembered head. That's just gross!) Hotaru moved behind Sesshomaru to hide.

"I killed her just for you." Naraku said as vines started to creep out of the ground and wrap around Hotaru.

"Let me go!" Hotaru shouted and tried to get the vines off of her," Sesshomaru, help!"

"He's a little preoccupied at the moment." Naraku said grabbing Hotaru around waist. Hotaru turned to see Sesshomaru fighting Kagura. (You know I'm really glad I have some Inu-Yasha info on my dad's computer or I might not be able to spell some of the weapons)

"Sesshomaru!" Hotaru shouted as Naraku carried her through the trees and too his castle.(Most people would end it but I'm not going to yet. I'm going to add a little bit more)

Hotaru struggled to escape Naraku's grasp as he pinned her against as wall and started to kiss her neck. "You'll be mine whether you like it or not." Naraku said coldly then he kissed her lips deeply. Hotaru struggled harder and harder but it only seemed that the harder she struggled the deeper Naraku kissed her.

With the others---------------------

Sesshomaru delivered a finishing blow to Kagura that killed her and limped back to the cabin so he could get patched up and first thing in the morning he was going to leave and kill Naraku. No one or nothing could stop.

"What happened to you?" Inu-Yasha asked as he spotted Sesshomaru limping back.

"Naraku took Hotaru." Sesshomaru said and winced as a wave of pain hit him and then he realized," He's hurting her. I have to get bandaged up right now!"

"Calm down, lover-boy." Rei said placing a hand on Sesshomaru's shoulder," Let's get you bandaged up you'll need sleep if you want to go kill this Naraku guy."

"Fine." Sesshomaru said knowing it was pointless to argue in his condition.

"Come on let's bandage you up and think up a strategy to kill Naraku." Kagome said helping Rei pull Sesshomaru inside.

Sesshomaru stared out the window as the girls worked on his wounds and thought 'I'll save you Hotaru. And if I don't let me die for failing you.'

That's all folks---

Harpygirl91- Ok really dramatic ending. I just had to say 'that's all folks' I have watched too much Looney Tunes in these last years. Oh and Naraku didn't rape Hotaru. Just so you know. Oh and Naraku's going to get his but kicked big time by Seon/Sesshomaru! Just to clear that up and give you a spoiler for later in the story. I wouldn't have anybody else to kick his but.

Sasuke-Dobe giving away something that happens later.

Harpygirl91- Shut up you know I'm really tempted to put you with Minako win my next story! You know that actually sounds like a real good couple….

Sasuke- You wouldn't dare.

Harpygirl91-Watch me. Oh I got to go know my little brother wants me to help him kick but on 'Star Wars' it's the Star Wars game where you get to reenact the battles.
