88 Last Time 88

Again Rei found herself asking why she was there. Though this time she told herself it was for Hotaru. Hell if she wasn't, Hotaru would have probably killed Tenshi by now. That or have gone completely insane. She wondered how Tenshi was still alive if he lived with Haruka. Well today had definitely been a interesting and eventful day, and tomorrow would probably be just as bad.

88 This Time 88

Hotaru stood outside of the hotel. It was a little after 12:30, basically around the time Alister said he would pick her up. She was wearing dark blue jeans and a black shirt that had "Firefly" written on it in cursive that was purple. The letters were also outline in silver. Other than that she only wore her sneakers. Tenshi was out dueling once again.

Rei was back up in the room. She was trying to read the Egyptian book she had bought. When Hotaru asked how she knew so much of the language the girl just brushed the question off. It was obvious she was hiding something, and that wasn't really like her. So whatever it was, was something big.

Then the sound of a motorcycle reached her ears. Turning she smiled when she saw Alister ride up to her. Soon he stopped and smiled at her. "Hey, you been waiting long?"

Hotaru shook her head. "No, so did you have a place you wanted to go?"

"No, I thought you had that worked out." he said raising an eyebrow.

"Oh I have a few ideas. I just wanted to make sure you didn't have any first. How's a park sound?" he nodded and handed her the helmet. After she got on he took off down the street.

He brought her to an even bigger park than she had been at two days ago. There were several play places, a pond, and a long path that winded all around the place. Children ran around playing games and climbing all over everything. The two walked more into it and sat on a bench. Hotaru turned to Alister, hoping to start a conversation.

"So how long have you been in Japan? You don't look Japanese." she asked.

He thought for a moment. "About a year or so. And actually I was born here, but my family is Italian. I moved back there for awhile then came here again...for..the tournaments and stuff. Duel Monsters isn't really popular in Italy."

"You're Italian? That's cool. I've lived here all my life, and I've never been able to visit anywhere else. My guardians go everywhere though. You might have heard of them. Their names are Michiru, and Haruka."

His eyes widened. "You mean the famous race car driver Haruka?" she nodded. "So those two are your guardians? Where are your real parents?"once he asked that he immediately regretted it. Damn his curiosity!

Hotaru's eyes became a little saddened. "My father was a scientist. My mother died in a lab fire. Then my father died 5 years after that in an explosion. Haruka and Michiru were... family friends so they took me in."

Alister hung his head. "Sorry, I didn't mean to bring that up." she shook her head.

"It's ok. What about you? Do you have any family left?"

He shook his head. "No, I'm an orphan. I'm living with a few...friends, at the moment." he cringed a little at calling Dartz and Varon his friends. Raphael kept to much to himself for him to call him anything.

Hotaru smiled. "Well that's good, and now you have another friend." she said indicating herself. Alister was a little surprised at that, but then smiled. She was actually his only friend. Yeah, he considered her one, she was more of one then anyone else he knew. Suddenly the children started screaming. Looking up the two saw a tall wolf faced youma attacking the park.

Rei was sitting on the couch reading the book when someone knocked on the door. Sighing she put the book down and went to answer the door. Much to her surprise Marik stood there when she opened it. "Marik? How did you find my room number?"

"I asked the front desk. I was wondering if you would like to go on a walk with me." he said. Rei smiled and nodded. Hey if Hotaru was out with a guy why not her? She scolded herself for thinking that. Marik was just a friend, it wasn't like it was a date or anything.

The two got outside and just started down the street. "So how have you been?" he asked.

"Good..well if it wasn't for Tenshi I would be a lot better off."

He blinked. "Who's Tenshi?"

"Oh he's my friends brother. Yesterday he came back covered in sewer water. Someone had challenged him and a sewer was where they ended up dueling."

Marik cringed. He may love dueling, but he would never duel in a sewer. The person probably was immune to the smell or something and tried to use it to their advantage. "Did he win?"

"He whooped their butt."

Obviously Tenshi was immune to the smell too. This worried him a little, but he decided it was best not to think of it. Rei changed the subject onto him. She wanted to know how he was doing. He said he had been doing good and had won his third duel. Rei congratulated him on that.

"Are you going to go duel today?" she asked. He thought about it then shook his head.

"No, I dueled twice yesterday, I'm going to take a break today. I guess that's why I came to see you."

Rei raised an eyebrow. "You visited me out of boredom?" Marik waved his hands in front of him frantically.

"No, that's not what I meant. I just meant I had free time, so I thought it would be nice to hang out with you." Rei smiled at him.

"It's ok, I knew what you meant." suddenly images began flashing through her mind and she collapsed to her knees.

Marik quickly kneeled beside her. "Rei what's wrong?"

"I...had a premonition... Hotaru...she's in trouble. We have to go to her." Marik helped her up. The violet eyed Egyptian followed her and she followed Hotaru's energy signal. Her's and that of a youma.

Alister pulled Hotaru out of the way of a flying swing set. The thing was tearing up the park, literally. People were running out of it screaming or were trying to find their kids. Quickly Alister took her hand and began running towards his bike. However hotaru wouldn't go.

"Alister we have to go save the kids." she cried trying to go back. He stopped running to look at her.

"Hotaru we can't. That thing will just end up killing us as well." she wouldn't hear of it and soon wiggled out of his grasp. He tried to grab her but she took off running. "Hotaru! No!" he cried before chasing after her.

Hotaru couldn't transform with this many people around. Plus it would give her away to the enemy. All she could do was get as many as the children she could out of there. Luckily their parents were helping and they all managed to avoid the youma's attacks. Even Alister came to help her.

Finally all the children were out and the two were about to turn back when Hotaru heard crying. She looked around and realized it was coming from a tree. Rushing over she saw a little boy up on a branch crying and shacking. She held her arms out to him, but he was still to high for her to reach.

"Jump! I'll catch you!" she told him. He shook his head and clung to the trunk of the tree. "Please, if you don't jump that thing will get you." this got him to move.

He took a deep breathe and launched himself at her. Hotaru caught and hugged the boy to soothe him. She turned around to run but it was to late. The youma had spotted her and wasn't going to let her get away. It shot a blast at her from it's mouth, however it ended up hitting the tree. The force of the blast knocked her down and she did her best to cover the boy from all the flying pieces of wood.

Alister's eyes widened when he saw this. "Hotaru!" he shouted and ran towards her. The boy was screaming and crying for her to wake up. It appeared she had been knocked unconscious. The youma laughed and began to slowly approached them.

When Rei and Marik reached the park they saw nothing but destruction. Tree's were on fire and the whole playground was torn to bits. It didn't take long for the raven haired girl to spot her friend. She watched as the youma tried to attack her but ended up hitting the tree and knocking her down. A boy ran over to her, but she wasn't moving and the youma was slowly approaching.

'Oh no...what am I going to do? I can't transform in front of Marik!' she thought. However one more look at her fallen friend quickly changed her mind. "Sorry everyone but I have to do this. MARS CRYSTAL POWER MAKE-UP!"

Fire swirled around her and in no time she was in her sailor fuku. Marik stared at her in shock. He had been right, she was Mars after all. Sailor Mars turned to him with a stern look. "What you just saw stays between us. I only transformed in front of you cause my friend needs me. Stay here and you'll be safe."

With that she ran over to the youma. The thing was surprised when it saw her coming but quickly recovered and shot a blast at her. She jumped out of it's way and kicked the thing in the face. "Didn't anyone ever teach you to play nice? MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND!"

Several rings of fire shot out and scorched the demon in multiple places on it's body. The thing cried out and launched another attack on her. Again she dodged it and was in front of Hotaru and Alister. She glanced back at them. "Get her and the kid out of here. I can handle the monster."

He nodded and picked Hotaru up bridal style and ran off with the kid closely following. Mars turned back to the youma a little to late. The thing was upon her and ready to slash her with it's claws. She closed her eyes and held her arms in front of her face, ready for the impact but instead something else happened.

"VENUS LOVE ME CHAIN!" cried out a familiar voice. A golden heart chain wrapped around the youma and pulled it back causing it to fall to the ground.
