Dark, it was what surrounded her and cast a weary glance. "No more!" She instructed to the empty space, her raven strands fluttering and melding into the inky blackness. "Leave me be." She ordered to those who haunted her. Normally her dreams left her in the darkness facing her buried Mistress Nine, and the Sera Senshi Saturn, her other selves. They had come to a simpatico relationship, leaving none of them quite good or evil, but Hotaru was tired of it. Yet, the whole time she was left contemplating the ever change, none had happened. "Show yourself and be done with it!" Hotaru added in exasperated despair.

"Who are you?" A disembodied voice questioned. Hotaru whirled every which direction searching for the voice's origin. "Please answer, are you there?" The voice came again. "If you can hear me, please help." The voice pleaded and Hotaru sought its destination. "I am going to lose without help." It stated as it faded away.

Hotaru woke with a gasp as the dream haunted her memories. This had been the third time that she had been visited by this. Heaving a breath, she pushed a glass of cool water down her throat from her bedside table. Steadying her emotions, she picked up a small journal opening it to a clean page.

8th Day of the Saturian Cycle in the year of the eve of Crystal Tokyo.

That premonition again, I cannot confine in anyone, for it does not speak of destruction. They only claim losing without help. However, I cannot help the tug of desperation that grabs my heart. I must speak with Pluto no matter what, later today. I am restless since the end of Chaos many months ago. Saturn hates this eerie quiet, and Mistress agrees, though I think she merely longs for a blood-lusted battle. In truth, normality doesn't sit to well with me either. I think I shall ask Pluto to allow me travel for a few months.

Hotaru stops her pen for a moment, considering the dream again. She picks the pen up once more to add a few other thoughts.

I wonder who calls me night after night in my dreams. I can almost swear the voice is masculine..Is this a true chance at my own happiness?

With that thought down, she places the pen and journal away. Crawling back into bed, she glances out her window at the new moon. "Let it be so." She echoes her thoughts from her journal, in her voice. Her violet eyes tracing the inner parts of her eyelids as she once more passes into the nightly realm of sleep.

Elsewhere, perhaps in another dimension the sun rises on a pensive soul, who stands on an edge of a roof, their cloak flittering behind them. "Who is the one I call to in dreams, and what does it mean?" They ask to the sun as it falls on crimson orbs.

"Partner?" Another voice calls out, drawing the crimson-eyed one back inside. "Come on, we have to go to the museum today." The voice continues.

"Of course Aibou." The crimson-eyed one agrees and shadows the other down the stairs.

Alright this is another start at a YGO/SM cross-over. This is Hotaru-centric and dedicated to Sailor Ra. I claim no ownership of either show. Please Review,

Much Care,
