Tenshi- and after this one the rest of the chaps will be a lot longer.
Spirit- yep so hope you enjoy!
Pairing- Seto/Hotaru/Yami Bakura
Hotaru woke up the next morning with the feeling of dread. Today was the day she needed to give Seto that stupid love potion. Just thinking about it, made her start to lose her nerves. How was she ever going to do this? Maybe she could have her brother sneak it to him. He was good at sneaking stuff around and playing tricks...but then that would require her to tell him what the potion was. Tenshi would rather die then help her get a boyfriend. This was something she would just have to do on her own then.
Finally getting out of bed she did her morning rituals then went down stairs to eat with the others. Setsuna was away on a business trip, and Michiru was currently in Kyoto for a concert. The only ones left were Haruka and Tenshi. The very two people Hotaru would never Dare ask for help in this. The two were sitting at the table calmly eating. Haruka was hidden behind a newspaper while Tenshi was nodding his head to his headphones as he ate his cereal. He was probably listening to his new Dir en Grey CD. Taking her seat next to her brother she poured herself a bowl and began to silently eat.
The look of despair was probably written all over her face for soon she found the two staring at her worriedly. Flashing them a smile she then continued to eat. Haruka and Tenshi looked at each other for a moment. Then the blonde gave him a look that said, "you handle her, she's your sister". Tenshi sighed and nodded. He would wait til they left the house to ask what was on his twins mind. Hopefully she wouldn't get mad and ram him into the sidewalk again. Then again maybe that was because he started laughing at her.
Glancing down at her watch, Haruka groaned. "Damn, I gotta get going. You two better start leaving as well." she said getting up. "Tenshi, I don't want any calls from the office today, and Hotaru, smile. Bye."
The twins watched as she set the paper down grabbed her car keys and left the house. It didn't take long for them to hear her go shooting off to work. Tenshi grinned and turned his music up until even Hotaru could hear the words clearly. The headphones now rested on his neck and he finished eating his breakfast. The violet eyed girl just shook her head and quickly ate the rest of her own cereal. She was about to go get her bag when her brother stepped in her way.
"So, mind telling me what's wrong?" he asked, with a sly grin.
Hotaru slightly glared at him, "nothings wrong, I just didn't sleep well last night."
"Aw is someone starting their per-OW!" Tenshi quickly rubbed the bump on his head. Hotaru now had one of Michiru's hardback books in her hand.
"Don't even start with me Tenshi Kurayami Tomoe!" she snapped, then walked around him to get her things. The boy gulped, whenever Hotaru used his full name, he knew she was not to be messed with. He had to wonder though what had gotten his usually calm and shy sister so guarded. Later on he would have to ask her friends at school. If she told them anything. The violet eyed girl was more of the type to keep her true worries and feelings to herself.
Sighing he grabbed his bag and followed his sister out. Tenshi smiled when he saw his friend, Bakura, leaning on the gate ahead of them. Bakura watched Hotaru pass by quietly, she seemed like she was in a trance. When Tenshi got to him he raised an eyebrow, silently asking what was wrong. The violet eyed boy just shrugged and they started to walk to school.
Hotaru just ignored their stares and continued on. She was trying her hardest to seem normal, but this was just to big of a deal to hide. Clutched in her hand was the pretty little bottle. How could something so small make her feel so nervous? Sighing she tucked the thing into her pocket and waited for the light to change so she could cross. Bakura and Tenshi were now laughing about something beside her. Both had huge devilish grins on their faces. No doubt they were planning something bad for school today.
Ever since the two became friends life for the teachers at school had become a living hell. The faculty was actually happy whenever the two ditched. The friends hardly ever did anything to the students, but the adults were a different matter. Tenshi was ok, cause he actually made up the work, and was even in all Honor courses...as hard as that may sound. He would always help Bakura with his work too, when the brown eyed guy felt like actually doing it. Hotaru wondered how the two haven't been kicked out yet. Guess cause so far no one was really hurt.
"Hey Hotaru!" came a voice that made the young girl cringe. She turned to see Minako running up to her looking happy. "Glad I caught you before school started! I need to tell you how you can give Se-!"
Hotaru quickly clamped a hand over the blondes mouth. She glanced back to see the two boys staring at her oddly. Minako got the gif of it and began to lead Hotaru away from them as soon as the light changed. When they were far enough away she let go of the girls arm and sighed. "Sorry, I didn't see them, honestly!"
Hotaru only nodded. "It's ok Minako. So what is it you needed to tell me?"
"Oh well. You need to pour the potion into whatever Seto's drinking. Switching the drinks out would probably be best."
"Hm...that would work. I could give it to him at lunch then." the blonde nodded as they passed through the gate entrance to their school. Teens were busy chatting in small groups here and there. Only the first bell had rung so not many of the students had moved on inside yet. The two girls just kept walking on waving hi to the people they knew. On the inside, Minako was madly grinning. Today was the day Hotaru would finally get a boyfriend. Everything was set and ready, now all that was needed was Hotaru to mix the potion and drink and the real fun would begin. Oh she couldn't wait.
Glancing over, she saw the fake smile on the violet eyed girls face, and the anxiousness in her eyes. It made everything all the more better. Seeing her friends by one of the Sakura trees she excused herself to go over to them. As usual Ami was busy reading, Makoto was just casually leaning against the trunk of the tree, and Usagi was actually on time, but of course was eating. If only Rei went to this school. Then she could tell her all about the plans with the others. For now she would have to settle with only three of the four.
"Hey Minako. What's up?" Makoto asked, being the first to spot her. The other two glanced over and smiled.
A devilish grin played on the blondes lips. "Oh. . . the usual. . ."
"Don't tell me you're ruining somebody's life again?" Ami asked seriously, taking off her reading glasses.
"Excuse me, but I enhance lives, I don't ruin them."
Usagi rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but smile. "So who is your new project this time?"
"Hotaru Tomoe."
"WHAT!" the three shouted crowding around her.
Makoto put her hands on her hips as she asked, "are you insane? Do you realize what Haruka and Tenshi would do to you if they found out?"
"Minako that's like suicide. Think of the poor girl, heck think of the Poor Guy!" Usagi cried.
Minako just stood her ground and shook her head. The grin had not vanished for an instant. "To late. Everything is set, now all I need is your guy's help. I'll fully take the blame from the two overprotective relatives, and. . . I'll pay you."
"Minako you don't have a job." Ami pointed out.
The blonde now had an innocent look about her. "Who said I needed one to pay?" with that she held up three tens. The three girls looked at each other. They knew this was going to end in disaster, but they did need the money. Plus this was one of their friends they were helping. Hotaru had never had a boyfriend before or even so much as a friend that was a boy. Well besides Mamoru, but he didn't count and neither did Tenshi. Nodding the three took the money and shoved it into their pockets.
"Excellent. Now here is the plan." Minako started as they all huddled in closer.

The noon bell rang and the students began to pile out of their classes to go to lunch. It wasn't long before the courtyard was full of chatting and eating teens. Smells of pizza, fruits, rice, and other things drifted into the air. One guy chased another around, both laughing. It seemed just like your typical lunch hour. However for a certain violet eyed girl, it was the hour that would change her life. Possibly forever, though she thought that might be just a little over dramatic to say. There he was, the godly teen himself. He was sitting at a bench typing away on his laptop while eating a sandwich. The only other thing near him was a bottle of orange soda. Hotaru held an identical bottle in her hand.
This was it. All she needed to do was swing by ask some random question about art class and while he wasn't looking switch the sodas out. It seemed easy enough, so why did she feel like she was about to walk to her death? Any other girl at this school would jump at the chance to go out with Seto Kaiba. He had to be the biggest heartthrob in the district. Not to mention he had lots of money, his own jet, helicopter, and more. He could buy his girl diamonds, gold, anything she wanted. Hotaru didn't really care for such things, but they were still there.
Seto also had to be one of the most gorgeous guys she had ever seen too. Though brown hair and blue eyes were common, he just seemed to add a mysterious and rich appearance to them. Those cold blue eyes that seemed to see through almost anything. That rich chocolate brown hair that was always so neat and shinny. Thinking on how all that could be hers she felt her nervousness start to leave. Holding herself more high up she began to walk towards him. She was almost there, just a few more steps to go.
"Hey Seto!" she stopped. A brunette known as Anzu came running past her and over to him. She didn't sit down but the two started talking. The CEO didn't wear his usual sneer at the girl but instead just seemed to be politely talking to her. That broke Hotaru's courage and she hung her head.
"He probably likes her. . . I can't make him in love with me then." she thought. "Damn it. . . I guess it was stupid of me to think he didn't already have a crush on a girl here. . ."
"Um Hotaru? Are you ok?" came a voice behind her. She only nodded, not bothering to see who it was. "Whatever then. Hey can I have a sip of that?"
The bottle of soda was taken out of her hands suddenly. It took a moment for it to register that the soft drink had the potion in it. Quickly she turned to stop the person. "Wait! Don't-!" her eyes grew wide as she watched none other than Bakura take a huge gulp of it.
For a moment nothing happened. He just swallowed and screwed the cap back on. The troublemaker handed the bottle back to her with a weird expression on his face. Hotaru then thought perhaps the potion was a fake. Nothing was happening to him. He just seemed like his usual cocky, jerkass self. Shrugging he began to walk away. Hotaru sighed then looked at the bottle. With a glare she tossed into the trash next to her. She made to walk back to her stuff but ended up bumping into someone. Looking up she was it was the white haired teen again.
"Hotaru. . . will you go out with me?". . . .WHAAT!
Spirit- lol, now hows that for V-day?
Tenshi- you're making my best friend fall in love with my sister?
Spirit- cruel isn't it? oh well! hopefully i'll get the next chap out soon. Please Review! Ja ne
