Hoshi was having a dream, but this dream would soon turn into a nightmare, one she wouldn't want to remember.
She was walking all through the mansion trying to find her big brother's and Duo, but she couldn't find them. She tried everywhere, the shooting range where Heero would be, outside in the small forest in the back of the mansion where Wufei would be meditating. She even tried in the livingroom where Quatre would be reading, in the kitchen where Duo would be snacking on food, and even in the music room where Trowa would be playing music on the piano. Nowhere, she couldn't even find a maid or Rasheed, no one was around. She found this odd and frighting. Did Demaness get to them?! Did she...she didn't want to think about it, she just wanted to find someone to make sure everything was alright.
She finally came across someone, it was Rasheed, he was down in the hanger, where the Gundams use to be kept, and he was kneeling over something. Hoshi took a closer look around her, and saw that the Gundams were back in the hanger, but how? They were destroyed, sent to the sun and burned until nothing was left. So why were they here now? She walked up to Rasheed and tapped his shoulder, the motion caused his body to fall to the side and Hoshi then saw a silver icey knife sticking out of his chest and his eyes wide open, she saw death in his eye. She started to back away slowly, shaking her head whispering "No, no...this can't be happening, not again.." she then turned around and headed back up the stairs screaming at the top of her lungs "Noo!"
She had gotten to the top of the stairs and made her way into the living room she stopped, there sitting on the couch, back against the couch, book laying on the floor, and his arms spread apart on each side, was Quatre. His hands were held down by two silver icey daggers, each dagger was sticking out of the middle of his palm, and his mouth was wide open, with a line of blood trailing down his chin and had dripped on his light green button up shirt. She couldn't believe it, no one was here when she check eariler, she ran through out the house, checking the rooms and places she had checked before only to find everyone was there this time, and they all were dead. Everyone was killed in a different way, some had the daggers in their chest others had them in their knees, what the hell was happening here.
Hoshi had ran outside. She had to get out of the house and get help. She started to run for town only to be stopped by a floating figure in the trees. Red eyes!
"Demaness!" Hoshi screamed tears cascading down her redden cheeks. She was heart broken, sad and very angry!
Demaness only laughted and said "See, you couldn't save them. They died becaue of you, because you were here. If you would have been else where maybe they would have survived and never knew death, hahahha!"
Hoshi fell to her knees and let her head fall back, so that she was gazing up at the sky, and screamed at the top of her lungs "Noooo!"
Demaness continued to laugh and taunt Hoshi. Hoshi stopped crying and climbed to her knees, her legs were soar and her throat was hoarse, but she had to get help no matter what!
"I won't give up, no matter what." She had said to herself in a low tone. She then took off in a mad dash towards the gates and headed for town! scream along the way "HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME, HELP! PLEASE!"
Then suddenly everything disappeared, as if it was all an illusion.
She stopped, there were no buildings no light posts, it was all dark, save for the spot she was standing on, there was a single light that lit where she stood, she stood there looking all around her.
All the guys had been up and down all night, some couldn't sleep for different reasons than the others, but they had all gotten up to check on Hoshi, to make sure the little sneak hadn't tried to get out of bed again. That is when they came to her door and heard her scream out.
Hoshi was tossing and turning in her sleep and screaming out "HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME, PLEASE!"
Heero opened the door and ran into the room while Trowa limped into the room with the help of Wufei acting as his crutch.
Heero ran over to her bedside and leaned over to shake his 'little sister' awake. "Hoshi! Wake up! Your dreaming! Come on! Wake Up!"
The last two words got through to her and she opened her eyes suddenly and bolted up right out of bed and scream "Noo!" She started to fall forward but Duo dashed forward to catch her in his arms.
He sat on the bed, holding her close to his chest, whispering calming and soothing words to her to get her to calm down. Duo thought That must have been one hellaous nightmare. Then he heard her say something.
"No, don't leave me, don't leave me. Please."
Duo just held her tighter and said softly to her "Shhh, it's alright, we're not going anywhere, we're all here, we won't leave you Hoshiko."
"Du...Duo?" Hoshi asked as she came out of state of shock from the nightmare.
Duo smiled and kissed the top of her head and said "Yeah, it's me Hoshiko. It's me. We're all here. You just had a really bad nightmare."
Hoshi just smiled and closed her eyes as she cuddled up against Duo's chest and said into his chest "I'll say, it was terrible, and I don't want to dream that ever again." Heero motioned for the others to leave. He started to follow the others when Hoshi cried out as she lifted her head from Duo's chest. It was more of a cry for him to stop than a cry of fear.
she cried "Heero wait!"
Heero stopped just before he existed the room and turned around to face her and said "Yes?"
Hoshi just smiled and said "Thank you, 'big brother'."
Heeor just smiled a bit and said "Hn." very casually and lightly.
Hoshi smiled, still the same old Heero, it was his way of saying 'Your welcome' just in his own words.
As soon as everyone left the room Duo helped Hoshi settle back down into the bed and get in a comfortable position. He went to get up off the bed and leave when Hoshi's hand shot out and grabbed his wrist before he could get his other leg off the bed.
"Wait!, don't go. Stay with me, just until I fall asleep?" She looked at him with eyes sparkling with fear and sadness.
Duo sighed and smiled down at her, how could he say no to her and to that face of hers.
He shook his head, she certainly had a spell on him, but it was a natural one, one that was called love. He climb the rest of the way onto the bed and climbed underneath the covers and let Hoshi snuggle up to his chest, her face buried in his chest. He smiled and sighed in complete happiness, he loved the feel of her in his arms and the warmth she provided. They fell asleep neither thinking any more about what had happened or wanting to talk about it.
Hoshi tiredly woke up and without moving her head, looked around at the space in front of her face, and she noticed that she was a bit colder, not that the room was cold, but she wasn't as warm as she was when Duo had climbed into bed with her...that was it! He had left, she did, after all, ask him to stay until she fell asleep. Then she heard snoring, and moved her head a bit and glanced at the window seal, there he was, sitting up on the window's ledge sleeping soundly, with a blanket thrown over him and a pillow behind him. She had to smile to her self, he was an amazing person and a wonderful man. She settled back down into bed, it was early in the morning and she wanted to sleep some more before getting up for the day. She snuggled back down in the covers to get warm again, and fell asleep with a smile on her face. And for the rest of the night, she had pleasant dreams, dreams of laughter and fun, dreams of happiness and peace.
Duo woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside the window and looked around to the room, finding everything in place and finding Hoshi still in bed, and sleeping soundly, and to his happiness, with a smile on her face. He thought Much better, a smile suites her better than worry and the look of fear. Besides, she doesn't have anything to be afraid of, we have no intention of leaving her. Duo smiled and got up from the large window seal and made his way over to her, he stood there watching her sleep, and took his cover and covered up the bottom of her, where her legs where, to make sure she was warm enough. If she got hot she could always kick the extra covers off.
He left the room to head down to the kitchen to find everyone else down there.
He sat down next to Trowa "How is the leg doin?" Duo asked as he rubbed some sleep from his face.
Trowa, glanced at Duo and said simply "It's doing better."
Duo only smiled and sniffed the air, he knew who was cooking "Hey Q-man what cha cooking for breakfast this morning?"
Quatre turned around, smiled and said "Pancakes with your choice of fruit on top and fruit syrup to go with it, and whip cream, if you like."
Duo just drooled over the description of their breakfast that morning. Duo stopped drooling and felt something wet fall on his head, he moved his eyes upward and found a half asleep Sky drooling onto his head.
Sky said with eyes that were still half closed and still full of sleep "Hmm...food, hungry. Pancakes, whip...cream."
Trowa just smirked at the little animals need for food early in the morning. Trowa thought it was weird but amusing, that Duo and Sky had the same fetish for food, always wanting to eat and always having the munchies.
Duo looked from the drooling and mumbling Sky to the half smiling Trowa. And quirked an eyebrow and asked "What are you smiling about Tro?" and blinked as he asked this.
Trowa just shrugged and said as he closed his eyes and grabbed the paper that was on the kitchen table "How much you and the animal are alike." and started to read the paper after stating this.
Sky "Hmph" and then said "I...-yawn-...got a name it's...-yawn-...Sky." and started to fall asleep on top of Duo's head.
Trowa shifted a laugh and said "My apologies, Sky." and continued to read the paper.
Hoshi woke up to the sun that poured into her room and the that rays warmed her up more than she wanted. She decided to make her way to the kitchen and get something to eat to wake her up more. She took her time getting out of the bed and made sure to take it easy, even though she felt a lot better and rested by now. When she got out of bed she didn't see Sky in his little bed, which meant that he had already made his way down to the kitchen, she didn't blame him. She could spell breakfast already, and she wasn't even off the second floor yet.
"Hmm...that smells good. Quatre must be cooking. Always cooking the fruity breakfast's." she said as she giggled and continued to make her way to the kitchen.
Just as she made her way through the door Duo got up to help her over to the table.
Duo asked "Are you feeling a bit better since you got some rest." as he made his way over to her and tried to help her over to the table.
She stated, with much determination "I can walk on my own, and I feel much better, thank you though." and she leaned up and gave Duo a qick peck to the cheek, which he let distract him, but only for a second or two, before he ran after her saying "Hold it! Let me see your legs and arms. You say you feel much better but you could just be lieing to stay out of your room little missy. We'll see about that." and he pointed to the seat at the table.
Hoshi knew there was no point in agruing with him, he was a determination man, and he got what he wanted, well most of the time.
She sighed and said sleepily "Okay, I'm not really in the mode to argue with you this morning D."
Duo started to check her arms and stopped momentarily and looked up at her and quirked his brow and said "D?"
She just laughed and said "Yeah, well I just came up with it, besides you have a nick name for me, so it's only fair I have one for you."
Duo just smiled and said "Okay! back to your injur...hu?" Duo stopped mid-word and stared at her arms. The other young men stopped what they were doing and came to see what was wrong.
Quatre swiftly walked over from the stove, after he turned it off of course. He asked as he made his way over to Hoshi and Duo "What's the matter Duo?" and then asked "Is she okay, is something infected." and stopped as he got over to her exposed arms and stopped to stare at them.
Wufei stared at the exposed arms and Trowa just blinked, confused. Heero was making his way over from where he was getting a bottle of water out of the refrigerator at the time Duo was sitting Hoshi down at the table. He stated as he made his way over to his adopted little sister "She better not be infected...or else." it was more of a friendly threat, because she was always getting out of bed and walking around, when she should have been resting in bed and taking care of her injuries.
Hoshi sighed when Heeor made his way over to her and he quirked up a brow and he too stared at her exposed arms.
She then said as she closed her eyes and started to roll down her sleeves of her night shirt "I told you guys, that I would be okay. Guardians heal faster than other's. Though you guys aren't like other's either." she said as she opened her eyes and tilted her head to the ceiling and blinked her eyes.
She sighed and explained to them "Guardians, if injured, even badly, need only a day, two sometimes three at the most, to heal and we're all better. So no worries." She said as she just grinned and got up to get something to drink out of the refrigerator.
Quatre just sighed in relief and Heero sighed but didn't let it slip out too much for anyone to hear, but Quatre caught it and smiled at his boyfriend.
Trowa only half smiled, knowing that Hoshi would be okay, he was one of her adopted big brothers, that didn't have the OBBS (Overprotective Big Brother Syndrom), which she was glad for that.
Wufei said as he made his way to the gym and shaking his head "Hmm...guardians." and smiled a little as he existed the kitchen, Duo caught the little smile and just grinned to himself. After breakfast was served and everyone was done they started to exist the kitchen as Heero and Quatre were doing the dishes. Hoshi stood up and said "Hold up guys!"
The three stopped and turned around to see what their adopted little sister wanted.
"Yes." Trowa said as he stood there, leaning against the wall of the kitchen that was next to the swinging door.
She smiled and said with joy and much energy "How about we all go out for the day, we don't all have to go out to the same place, we can go in pairs, or something like that. I know I want to get out of the house...err mansion and get some fresh air, I was thinking the staking rink. I've never been staking and I would like to try it, it looks like fun." she then looked over at the two doing the dishes and said with a smile "How about it, Heero, Quatre?"
Quatre stopped and left his hands in the soapy water and turned around to say "Why not, it would be nice to go out and have some fun. Want to Heero?"
Heero just looked to the side and said "Hn, sure." and then resumed drying off the dishes and Quatre resumed cleaning the dishes.
Hoshi looked back to the other three and smiled big and said "Come on, you know you want to."
Duo ran over to Hoshi and slung his arm around her shoulder and said with his big famous grin and a loud laugh "Ha! Why not. It'll give me something to do, and besides, I haven't been skating in a while."
To this everyone just looked at him and he said "What?" and smiled, held up his thumb and said "I can skate you know, and I'm pretty damn good too...though I haven't done it in a while so...this'll be fun!" he said as he pulled Hoshi closer to him and he just laughed.
Quatre said to Heero as they were finishing up the last three pieces of dirty dishes " Heero how about we go to the Skating rink too. It would be fun." Heero just continued to dry the dishes Quatre handed him and simply said "It's fine with me."
Quatre just smiled and turned his head to Duo and Hoshi and said "Hoshi, we'll be coming with you to the skating rink."
Hoshi smiled all excited and started to bounce in place and said "Alright! the more the merrier! We're going to have so much fun! Yay!" she grabbed onto Duo's arm and hugged to him while smiling.
Duo was happy, she was feeling better, and not thinking about that nightmare she had last night. He was happy and glad that they were going to get out of the house and do something. This would be good for them all.
Hoshi asked Trowa "Where are you going to be going today Trowa, you have to get out and do something. To get some fresh air, ya know."
Trowa couldn't help but smile fully and simply said one word before existing the kitchen "Zoo."
Hoshi smiled and yelled out to him "Hope you have fun Trowa!"
She then looked at Wufei and asked "So what about you Wufei?"
Wufei said as he existed the kitchen "I plan on meditating in the park woman."
Hoshi just smiled and said "Well I hope you have...fun."
After Heero and Quatre got the dishes done, they headed to their rooms to get the right cloths they needed for Ice skating and got some money for the entrance fee. Duo and Hoshi went to their room and got what they needed as well.
When Duo entered his room, the first thing he saw was the painting that Hoshi had made for him. He just smiled and thought how much that painting meant to him, for the one he loved very much had made it for him and put so much love into for him. Yes he would always love her, with every once of his heart and soul.
I must say that this chapter seemed like it took forever and that Heero and maybe one other character seemed a bit harder to write :giggles: But I none the less had fun writing this chapter :) Also, I have gone skating...once :D I really thought I was going to fall down a couple of times :giggles: But you know what...i didn't fall down not once, and that really surprised me :) My friend told me that I was good and I kept my head up a lot. She told me that you fall where you are looking and because I didn't look down a lot that is why I didn't fall, though I will amit there were a few times that I thought for sure I was going to fall on my butt and go boom! lol :) I must say that skating is heard and it takes concentration, like with most things, and well I would like to go again, it was a really fun and great experience and I had a lot of fun learning and trying :) Okay! enough of the blabbering :giggles: Coming to a computer near you...Chapter 9...how soon...I really don't know :D Toodles everyone! :waves happily!:
