Her Pure Heart
Chapter 3
Hotaru's P.O.V
I yawned as the sunlight streamed into the room waking me from my peaceful sleep. I felt Chibiusa shift and curl closer to me pressing her face into my stomach as she shifted away from the sunlight that was streaming in. I smiled at the young princess my heart fluttering as she did so. It felt amazing to be so close to her, to hold my young mate. I would never push our relationship further then close friends as she was still so young, but I would always be there to protect her. I looked back down at the pink haired girl and gently touched her hair, and began running my fingers through her hair as she fell back into a deeper sleep.
Chibiusa's P.O.V
*Dream sequence*
I looked around at the grassy field that I was in, confusion filling me. It was incredibly beautiful and serene; it filled me with a sense of nostalgia and happiness. I began to wander around the field smiling at all the flowers around her, they smelled heavenly and looked beautiful. Suddenly; I heard galloping as I quickly turned to see a majestic Pegasus trotting towards me. I stiffened as he neared me, unsure of what I was supposed to do. The Pegasus stopped just a foot in front of me and bowed its head. Gasping I quickly curtsied as I was trained to. The beautiful creature reacted happily at my actions as he trotted closer to me and whinnied happily. Tentatively I reached my hand up to touch his snout and smiled as he allowed me to. "You are beautiful," I whispered softly my eyes clouding over slightly as the Pegasus's allowed me onto his back, and took off into the sky as I lightly gripped his Maine. We flew over the meadow in comfortable silence until soon I felt myself being to wake up. We landed softly as I gently jumped off and ran my hand down his snout again. I smiled as I felt myself be drawn back to consciousness.
*End of Dream Sequence*
I looked up at Hotaru in confusion, "W-where am I?" I asked softly and rubbed my eyes as the rest of my family came into view.
"At my apartment, Chibiusa are you okay?" Mamauro asked softly and sat beside me as and touched my head. I felt Usagi kneel in front of me and placed a hand on my knee as Haruka stood behind her.
"O-oh…" I replied as my mind started to clear up, "S-sorry… I guess I was still sleepy…"
Usagi gave me a soft smile and nodded, "It is okay honey, how do you feel now? I know you were hurt slightly last night and we just wanted to make sure everything is okay," she whispered and took my hands. I nodded to her and allowed her to pull me into a gentle hug as everything that had happened in the last 24 hours hit me. I clung to her tightly as I allowed myself to let everything go as I cried softly into her arms. She gently held me and just allowed me to cry against her shoulder as she rocked me back and forth. It was at times like this that I did wish I was home in the future with my family, but that I was thankful that I had Usagi in this time. She was exactly like my mother in the future and it allowed me to act like the child I was, and still allowed me to grow as a scout.
Haruka soon moved forward and joined the hug carefully cradling both Usagi and I. She was a constant for me in the future, were Usagi was my Mommy, Haruka is my mother. She was the authority figure along with Mamauro. She kept Mommy and I grounded when we went to far with our insanity, but she was also let Mommy and I have fun when things get to stressful.
After a few moments I began to calm down in there hold and soon I was no longer crying. I felt Usagi wipe away my tear stained cheeks. I looked up at her and gave her a soft smile, as she smiled back, "are you okay now Sweetie?" She asked as I nodded. Carefully she helped me stand up as Hotaru smiled and hugged me.
"Are you going to take her back home Usagi?" Mamauro asked and pulled her to his side causing my mommy to blush. Usagi nodded as I looked at them from Hotaru's side, and smiled. I loved watching my parents be happy and when Haruka and Mamauro teased Usagi is was always funny to watch her get flustered, just like she would in the future.
"I can drive you both, as Michiru, Trista, and I are going to take Hotaru to look for a new place to live that is closer to the rest of the scots," Haruka explained and placed a hand on Usagi's shoulder.
"That would be nice," Usagi whispered softly as she smiled.
Haruka's P.O.V
We waved as we pulled away From Mamauro's building. Usagi in the front seat with me and the Kids in the back. Looking over at my young soul mate I smiled and took her hand. It was such a relief to see her up and walking today after all the events of yesterday. I was worried about how long it would take for her to be back to normal so when we woke up this morning I was relieved to see her smiling face sitting there looking beautiful with her hair cascading around her like a waterfall of gold. Her sleepy smile lighting up the room as Mamauro pulled her close against his chest.
"Haruka?" Usagi whispered as I squeezed her hand, "D-do you think I could go with you this afternoon?" She asked softly. I smiled and nodded looking back at the two kids.
"Hotaru? Do you want to stay with Chibiusa this afternoon?" I asked smirking as Hotaru nodded smiling along with Chibiusa as we soon pulled up to her house. We walked the kids inside and chatted with Mrs. Tsukino for a little while before heading out to meet the rest of the outer scouts. As we waited in the park for them I smirked and pulled her hair out of its normal style once again.
"H-hey…" She pouted and sighed as I messed with the end of her hair. I smiled at the silky locks and pulled her against me chuckling when she snuggled closer to me.
"You are beautiful," I whispered and twined our fingers as the other scouts finally arrived. Michiru and Trista both bowed slightly causing Usagi to blush deeper as we made our way back to my car. Once again Usagi and I took the front with Trista and Michiru taking the back as we set off. The apartment complex that we were looking at was rather close to my princess's high school so that we could turn it into a central meeting point for all the scouts. It was at the top floor, the penthouse suit. It boasted 5 bedrooms, a large and spacious kitchen and living area, as well as a gym and its own private pool. As we arrived at the building I carefully help Usagi from the car and pulled her close to me. Smiling the four of us entered the lobby of the building to meet with the realtor that Trista had hired. He quickly led us up to the elevator and up to the 11 floor where the suit was located. Guiding us in we Trista, Michiru and I all smiled as Usagi looked around in awe. She had grown up in a rather humble house with her family so this was a completely new experience for her.
"Please feel free to look around while Miss. Trista and I talk about the details of the property." The realtor explained as Michiru headed out to check the pool, as I pulled Usagi further into the penthouse and into one of the Bed rooms. I smirked and guided her to the large window and pulled her close so that her back was against my chest.
"What do you think Princess," I purred smiling as she flushed once again, "Do you like the looks of this place?"
She nodded shyly as she watched the people down below wandering about the city, "It is really beautiful," She whispered and I grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the window. Quickly I pulled her into a gentle kiss and I held her body close.
"You would always be welcome to come and live with us full time my little Usagi," I whispered softly and smiled down at her.
"Thank you H-Haruka," She stammered feeling obviously flustered so I decided to tone it down, knowing that my young soul mate was just that; young.
"That is if it is something you want. If not, you will always have a key if you ever want to stay over," I stated smiling and pulling her along as we went about exploring the space before joining Michiru and Trista back in the foyer of the suit.
"So, is it decided?" The Realtor asked.
"I believe so, shall we go down to your office and sign the contracts?" Trista asked as we all took the elevator down to the lobby. The realtor nodded as they headed out to the mans car and drove off as Michiru headed off for a rehearsal for a show she was staring in leaving only Usagi and I.
"Want to go for lunch?" I asked offering her my hand. She smiled and nodded as I led her back to the car as we drove off heading towards the arcade.
