Chapter 4 : Escape in Seiya's arms

Hotaru was running towards her house,crying and sobbing.Why did she went there?She was suffering again...again people were rejecting her because of what she was...And that was horrible.She loved so much to amke people happy and feel safe but they feared her.She was a freak for them.And she start believing it too.Why couldn't they just understand that she was a little bit different?It was so hard?She stopped suddenly because she had bumped into someone.Her eyes rised and saw Seiya.

'Hotaru,what happened?'he asked worried and shared his umbrella with her.

Tears come out and she hugged him with need to feel accepted how she was.Seiya was confused.Hotaru was very misterious but her liked her way to be.She was so calm and allways knew what to say.She acted like a true princess not like others(Venus...Minako is crazy!but I like her...).He hugged her with his free arm and tried to warm her by moving his arm on her back up and down.

'Tell me.'he said kindly.

Hotaru had her eyes allready red and hugged him tier.

'Not here.'she said.

'I'll walk you home.'

'No!Not there!I'm tired of beeing alone...Can we go to your place?'she asked not looking at him.

'Ok.If it makes you feel better.'he said and tooked her by her shouldeurs with the free hand.She rested her hands on his arm and the two walked to Seiya's place.

'So,what happened?'his voice came from the kitchen.Hotaru was standing in a corner of the couch,clunging her knees.

Flashback...

'SILENCE WALL!'

Sesshoumaru looked like she was something weird.Rin was looking at her in the same way.The demon died in electric shocks and she stood,having in her hands the glaive.She looked at Rin.

'Are you Ok?'

The girl nodded and run to Sesshoumaru.

'Who are you?'he asked again.

'I'm from Saturn as i said.'

'Ordinary humans don't have this kind of power.'his voice remembered her what she allready knew.She was an ordinary human.Was she at least...human?

End of flashback...

'Hotaru?'she heard her name and a hand waving before her.

'Hai?'se answered.

'Your tea is getting cold...'Seiya said and sat next to her.

'O...'she said and tooked the coup in her hands.

'If you don't want to talk about it...'

'I was...rejected again...that's all.'she said putting a fake smile.

Seiya tooked her by the shouldeurs and brought her closer making her easilly blush.

'Tell me who,Taru'he said so sweet.

Her eyes looked deeply in his blue ones.

'Why do I have to be the strongest one?'

'Taru..'

'Why do i have to be alone all the time?No one can understand!No one!Usaghi haves Mamoru and soon Chibiusa-chan...Rey loves Yuichiru but she doesn't say it but anytime she can say yes...Makoto still dreams at her ex boyfriend but she can allways find new love...Minako loves Yaten and she sees only thru his eyes...Amy..Amy is alone but that doesn't bothers her...'

'Taru...'Seiya looked at her and got her closer.

She shaked her head as many tears came out.

'Haruka has Michiru and Setsuna is seeing Taiki!I am alone!I have no one!I'll allways be alone!I hate that!I hate me!I thought it wont bother me as long as I have friends but I'm tired!I'm tired of beeing alone!I'm hated if I destroy the world,I'm hated if I protect it!I hate .'she tried to say more but he stopped her,pulling her to his chest.

'You'll allways have me.And I don't hate you,Taru-chan.And you're not alone,as long as I live.'he said burying his face in her long and raiven haire.

Hotaru let her head resting on his chest.

'It hurts so much.'she said in a whisper.

'I know...'he said holding her.

'How can you forget the pain?'

'You don't...you just learn to live with her.'

'And if you can't?'

'Then you should find someone to share it with..'

She left his hugg and put her hands on her face,to wipe out the left tears.Then,she looked at him.

'Seiya...'she said and the next thing she knew he kissed her gently on her lips.She closed her eyes,surprised,and she enjoyed the feellings she had now.Seiya was kissing her!And she liked it!But she pushed him,gently,not to be brutal,away.

'Seiya...you're my friend...this...'

'I know that you see me only as your friend.'he said and stood,sad.But then he turned to her smilling.'But I still want to be your friend,I want you to believe in me.I'll never touch you again if you don't want me too...Ok?'

Hotaru put her hands over his and smilled him with kindness.

'Ok.'

'Are you sure I can sleep in the bed?'she asked from the bathroom.She borrowed a shirt from him ,a larger one so she could cover more of her body.

'Yes!I am used with the couch,so its Ok!'his voice camed from the other bathroom.

Hotaru giggled at his answer and then turned serious remembering the events of the other night.

Flashback...

'Why are you talking like this to me?'

'I thought your different...but you aren't...you're a weird human too...and I DESPISE humans...in specially weirds one like you!'he said and his eyes glowed red.

'Sesshoumaru-sama...'Rin tried to say something but was cut off.

'Not now Rin.Go away if you want to leave.Go back to your freaks!'

Her eyes blew in tears and she turned away.

'I understand you...No matter if I kill...or protect...this happens all the time...'she said and runed away.

End of flashback...

That was the reason she returned so fast.Not even in the past she couldn't pretend to be someone who she wasn't...A tear escaped her eye and felt in the water.She clunged her knees and tooked them to her chin.Her head rested on them.Maybe she should just accept Seiya.He loved her.And she liked him a lot.If she wouldn't off met this arrogant guy she would off accepted Seiya.But now she was so confused.

'Everything is so confusing...His face...Damn it...I can't forget his gaze!'

'Are you okay?'she heard lately a voice.She opened her eyes and saw that she was still in the water.She must of slept there a little bit.

'Hai...'she answered and got out of the now cold water.She put his shirt on her and walked out of the bathroom.Seiya was on the couch,watching something at the T.V.He was now in a black shirt,opened at half and white pants.

'Going somewhere?'she asked him .

Seiya shut the T.V and looked at her.

'No.I wanted to...but I can not...'

'Why not?'

'Cause I rather stay with you.I want to enjoy this night,having you only for me.'he said glaring her.

Hotaru turned red and turned to the bedroom.She opened the beedroom's door and then stoped.

'Something wrong?'

'Thank you Seiya.'

He smilled but she didn't saw it.

'Happy to be here for you,Taru.'

She entered the bedroom and closed the door behind her.She crushed on the bed and saw how big it was.She felt better but...she was still alone...and she was tired of it...She need someone.She didn't wanted to be alone.Not tonight.So,she gathered some guts and opened the door again.Seiya jumped from the couch and felt on the floor,scared by her sudden action.

'What,what?'he stood.

'Seiya.'she said and leaned against the door crossing her legs one over the other.

'Yes?'he asked doing something to his hair.

'Umh...I want to sleep on the couch.The bed has something...I can't sleep on it.'

Seiya turned serious.

'I'll check it,wait here a minut.'he said and tried to pass her but her hand stopped him.

'Not now...Can I atke the couch?'

'Sure...'he said and tooked her to it.

Then he turned to leave.

'Seiya?'

'Yes?'he turned by half.

'What are you doing?'she asked putting a leg on the couch.

At the view of her bare leg,till her hip,he gasped and tried to look away when he blushed.

'To...sleep...in the bedroom...'

'You wont sleep fine...that bed is cursed...'she said and sat on the bed with both legs,in her knees.

'Then...I'll sleep on the floor...'he said,again,gasping.

'Why don't you sleep with me?I can share the couch with you...'she said smilling inocently.

Seiya looked at the couch.It was to small to sleep two person.Only if...they sleep...very close.

'Are you sure?'he asked.

'Its not like we are going to do something bad!'she said.

'Ok.'he said.

Few moments later they were on the couch,Seiya in her back,holding her by her waist with his bouth hands,and his head in her neck.

'Are you staying confortable?'

'Yes...'she answered feeling safe and feelling the wormth of his arms around her.For the first time in so much time...she slept fine.Deep.Seiya watched her sleeping and then he allowed himself to sleep too.

Muahaha..a longer one...even if I don't have to much inspiration on this one...any suggestions?Sorry guys but I like Seiya a lot.And Yaten too!So kawaii...I was mad on Sesshi today so I maked a terrible end to The Shadow of the Past and this fluffy chapter with Seiya/Hotaru...I will wait your revies and your suggestions!
