Hotaru couldn't sleep that night, the feeling of eerie eyes watching her causing her to toss.

"Haruka-San?"

She whispered, only to hear the door open.

"Kitten?"

Her deep, silky tone responded in a whisper as entered the room.

"You don't watch me sleep do you?"

The child asked, earning a laugh.

"No. I must rest as well...which i choose to do in the night."

Haruka answered gently before adding "you are worried of that?"

Hotaru glanced down then and nodded.

"I don't even know what you are."

The little girl began, earning a sigh.

"If I told you then you would be afraid of me and I don't want that because I mean no harm." Haruka responded before adding

"This house was my childhood home Hotaru, that is why I live in the attic….usually as a bat."

Hotaru couldn't help but giggle at the disgusted face that Haruka made as she said that.

"You can change shape Haruka-San?"

She asked after a few minutes, earning a nod.

"Yes, though I prefer if I didn't have too however I don't want to startle you nor your mom so I just keep to myself."

Haruka answered as she glanced out the open window, noticing the faint glimmer that came from the house across the street.

I see that the demi god is back into town….hmm...wonder how long she's been back...seems like everything is just popping back up in town after fifty years.

Haruka thought before smiling a bit and adding

"You should be asleep by now...what is keeping you awake firefly?"

"I don't know."

Haruka chuckled at this and nodded "well just close your eyes and lay back...I might can help."

With that she began to sing softly, her voice barely audible as she sat at the foot of the bed.

Once the small girl was asleep Haruka stood, turning her attention back toward the window before sighing.

"So here it begins."

She muttered before quitly opening the window and stepping out, floating in mid air as she closed it before moving toward the house across the street that she had been watching previous.

"Meiou, open the damned door."

She called, hearing the sound of clattering and then a mumbled curse.

When the door opened she wasn't surprised ot see the woman standing there looking annoyed, though she lightened her gaze when she saw the blonde.

"Hello to you too Tenou-Chan."

The woman retorted teasingly, earning a scowl.

"Again with the age thing Setsuna?"

Haruka grumbled, earning a small smirk.

"Say it's payback for causing me to drop my staff….now tell me what brings you here? I mean it wasn't me who made you into a vampire."

Setsuna retorted, earning a sigh.

"No, it was Serenity….and to be honest after what she did for us all I can not be angry. However the princess….as eccentric as she is….has decided to live among mortals."

Haruka stated with a small chuckle, earning a look.

"Haruka, I think you need to live among mortals. All this haunting a attic thing isn't good for your state of mind."

Haruka scoffed

"Why? So I can watch the people I grow to care about die? If you remember I tried that back in the 1900s."

Setsuna sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Haruka, being alone for centuries isn't good for you. At least try to make some friends….maybe if you want Usagi can keep you from losing some people. I mean if we can overcome the blood lust then anyone can."
