Pairing- Seto/Hotaru/Yami Bakura
88 Last Time 88
"Hey, can I talk to you for a sec Hotaru?" he asked. The violet eyed girl nearly had a heart attach. Seto Kaiba wanted to talk to her!
88 This Time 88
As the two walked away Hotaru could here Minako and Makoto snickering. She looked back to see them whispering stuff and Usagi give her a thumbs up. Ami just looked at her with a small comforting smile on her face. Seriously... what was wrong with all of them! Seto just wanted to talk to her, was that really such a big deal? Finally they were far enough away from the others and the violet eyed girl waited for him to speak. However he didn't. In fact, he wasn't even looking at her. His beautiful blue eyes were on the ground and he was slightly fidgeting. Why was he acting so nervous? She had never seen him this way.
"Um Seto are you ok?" she asked putting a hand on his shoulder. She felt him tense under her touch and pulled away.
"Yeah, I'm alright. I was just wondering. . . if well . . . you were free this Saturday night?" he said slowly.
The girl froze. Was thee Seto Kaiba. . . asking her out! For some reason she felt like all the air had been sucked out of her, and she didn't have the ability to breathe in more. This was not good. . . how the hell could she answer him now? After what seemed like hours she finally managed a "yes."
"Great, then would you like to . . . I don't know go out for dinner or a movie."
She smiled. "Dinner sounds great."
Seto let his own rare, heart stopping, smile appear. "That's wonderful. I'll pick you up at six then."
"Ok."
After giving him her address and finding out where they would be going she walked back to the girls, beaming. They all were standing there huddled together with sly smiles. Well minus Ami who just plainly smiled at her. They asked for what happened and when she told them they all squealed. Hotaru thought her eardrums would burst. Immediately Minako and Usagi started giving her dressing and make-up tips of all kinds. Makoto was suggesting foods to not eat because they were too messy or something like that. Ami was just being quiet and mouthing sorry to the now overwhelmed violet eyed girl.
But really, all their comments were just going through one ear and out the other. All she could think about now was Seto. How? Why? Why, out of all the girls at school, had he picked her? She was a sophomore, and was hardly in any of his classes. In fact, they never really even said more then three words to one another. Remembering the library incident, when he sat in front of her, she began to blush. Maybe he has been crushing on her, just as she has been crushing on him. Realizing there was a hand being waved in her face, she snapped out of her thoughts and looked to the other grinning girls.
"You going to be ok there Hotaru?" Makoto asked.
Said girl just smiled, "of course!"
"Good, . . . now. . . how are you going to explain this to Bakura?" Hotaru looked at Minako in terror. She had completely forgotten about him. In her mind there was a sudden crashing sound, as her world shattered again.

Tenshi and Bakura waited for Hotaru outside the school gates. School was over and most of the students, who didn't have detention or sports to go to, went home. Hotaru was talking to one of her teachers about that night's homework assignment. Really she understood what she was doing, she was just buying herself time. Plans were trying to form in her head. How was she going to break the news to Bakura? Sure, she and Seto weren't exactly "going out" yet. But this Friday's dinner might lead to that. Finally she could find nothing else to ask the teacher without looking completely obvious. Saying thank you to him, she left the building and met up with the two.
"Bout time. We thought you ran out the other way or something." her brother said.
She glared at him, "I wouldn't do that!" 'Though I did consider it' she thought to herself. "So what did you guys want to do?"
Both shrugged. "I don't know, we usually go practice for our band, or search for more members." Tenshi said.
"Band?"
Both looked at her. "Yeah remember? Bakura and I started a band. Well technically it's just us two for now, but we will not rest until we have more members!" Tenshi cried throwing his fist in the air.
"We usually rehearse in your garage while your at the library. Haruka said we can't practice if you're home doing homework." Bakura explained.
"Oh, well I would like to hear you guys. If that's not a problem."
Tenshi beamed, stopped right in front of her and grabbed her hands. "Really! You do!"
"Um . . . yeah. . ."
"YATA!" well then, what are we waiting for!" he cried turning back around to hurry them along.
Hotaru and Bakura sweat-dropped. "But you were the one that stopped." they mumbled..
Soon they reached the twins house and went into the garage. Hotaru learned that they still needed a guitarist, and a vocalist. Tenshi was the drummer, and Bakura played bass. She sat on a torn up couch to the side as they set up their equipment. After a few tests they then decided on which song to perform. Tenshi banged his sticks three times before they started. At first Hotaru jumped from the sudden loudness of their instruments, but after that she became used to it. Listening to the actual music she found it to be rather cool. It sounded a little odd due to the absence of the other instrument, but it still carried a tune.
It reminded her of an anime's ending theme song. It was rather up beat, but at the same time a little hardcore. They were very good and didn't fall out of line once. Hotaru closed her eyes and tapped her foot in time to the beat. After a few more minutes the song ended and the boys took a break. Tenshi tossed his friend a water from the small fridge they kept in the garage and grabbed himself one.
"So, what'd ya think?" he asked his sister.
"It sounded cool. What's it called?"
After taking a sip of his water, Bakura answered, "Nakushita Mono Ha 1, Tenshi wrote it." Hotaru looked at her brother in shock. The boy was actually capable of coming up with something like this.
Said boy pouted, "what? You didn't think I could be this cool?" he asked, now with a cocky smirk on his face.
Bakura rolled his eyes. "Oh shut up, You may have written the music, but the actual lyrics suck." Tenshi gave a nervous laugh and scratched the back of his head.
"So I'm not a very good writer. Sorry."
"Can I see the lyrics?" Hotaru requested. Tenshi seemed a little embarrassed, but fished out a notebook from his school bag and handed them to her. She read them through and nearly wanted to smack her twin. Was he still in 1st grade or something? His spelling and rhyming were horrible. She knew he could do better than this. He probably was just rushing to get it out of his head. "You mind if I tweak them?"
The two boys looked at each other, blinked and shook their heads. "Good." grabbing her brothers bag she took out a pencil and began erasing nearly the whole thing.
"Hey! That's my song!" Tenshi screamed.
"Correction, it was your song." his sister replied as she sat back on the couch and began to write a . . . better version of the crap her brother had wrote. Bakura couldn't help but smirk as tears streamed down his friends face like waterfalls.
"Can't argue with her Tenshi, lets get something to eat while we wait for the artist to finish up." Hotaru looked up at him with a slight glare before going back to work. The white haired boy only laughed as he dragged the still crying Tenshi out of the room.
Hotaru just watched as her pencil scribbled words onto the paper. She didn't know how she was able to just watch as words, and rhythm appeared on the paper. She always got this way whenever she wrote one of her poems. In no time she was done and read it over. So much better! But now she felt kind of shy about showing it to them. After all she had put a little of her own emotions into it as well as her twin's. Then again, she didn't think they would really notice it too much. Getting up she put the notebook down and walked over to the instruments.
There was a guitar put off to the side so she picked it up. She wondered what it was like to be apart of a band. To have millions of fans willing to do almost anything to meet you. It was to much attention for her, but she knew her brother liked it. He liked playing and finding new rhythms. That was why he wanted to be in a band. Getting famous would just be a bonus for him. So then, what was Bakura's reason for wanting to do this? Did he enjoy playing as well. Well, she guessed he would have to, but what if there was another reason? A more personal one?
The door opened then and the two walked in. "Hotaru? What are you doing?" Tenshi asked eating a popsicle. She quickly put the guitar back.
"Nothing, just looking around. I'm done by the way." Bakura went over and picked up the notebook and read through it.
"Wow this is really good, better then Tenshi's shit."
"Really? Let me see!" Tenshi cried and snatched the book away. "You're right!. . . wait. . . Mine wasn't That bad!"
"Yes it was." the other two answered, only to cause the boy to cry again.
"So Hotaru, want to be our bands song writer? You don't have to write the music, we can do that, just the lyrics would be fine." Bakura asked, ignoring his friend who was now crying on the floor and throwing a tantrum.
"Um, I don't know. . ."
"Oh come on! It doesn't have to be your actual career. And when we get famous, we'll still pay yah." Tenshi said sitting up with a smile on his face.
Hotaru sighed. "I guess."
"Great, well I better be heading home. See you guys at school tomorrow." Bakura said. He gave Hotaru a wink before grabbing his stuff and walking out of the garage. A small blush appeared on the girls face. For awhile there she forgot about the spell that was on him.
"Ne, Hotaru-chan?"
"Nani?" she asked turning to her brother who was getting off the floor.
"Does Bakura seem. . . different to you?"
She tensed. "I! . . . uh. . . I . . don't know, maybe he wasn't feeling well. Uh. . . I'm going to go finish my homework now, bye!" she quickly said, grabbed her bag and rushed out and up to her room. Closing and locking the door she then leaned against it and sighed. Sometimes, she wished her brother didn't have his smart moments. Especially at times like these.
Throwing her bag down she then collapsed on her bed. Tomorrow was Friday, and then it was Saturday. The day she was going out with Seto to dinner. Could she really afford to think about the white haired teen right now? Still, maybe the potion was having a bigger effect on him then she thought. If Tenshi was noticing the changes, then something was definitely wrong. Perhaps she should Minako again, but she didn't want to be a bother to the blonde. After all, by this time next week Bakura would be back to his old self. With thought in mind she closed her eyes and began to drift off to sleep.
Spirit- I'm going to pretty much skip Friday and get right to the good stuff on Saturday. So the next chap is for those Hotaru/Seto fans.
Tenshi- Who is my sister really going to end up with?
Spirit- I'm not sure, my idea's keep changing. well Please Review! Ja ne
