Konnichiwa minna-san!
Thanks for the reviews once again! lol
Again, there may be some FPOVC's [Frequent Point Of View Changes] but
that's all that I know wrong with this, and that's not even wrong. Well,
without further ado, Shi no Tenshi continues with:
Chapter 3: A Tenshi Survives
T runks watched helplessly as Hotaru powered up until she was a little more powerful than his SSJ2 form. She then looked down at him. She was a beautiful. Her hair was the same black chin length, but instead of just black, it had silver highlights in it, and was glittered with microscopic, cold stars. She had a veil on, and it was a black band with silver glitter, save the netting part was missing. On the same token, her eyes were emotionless, and blank, all black; she looked like the inhumane creature of her true nature. Her choker was the same midnight black as always, but her fuukuu was different. It was silver, and her skirt stayed black, but the ribbons on the front and back were both a deep purple. Her gloves, too, were a deep purple, and her glaive shown in the light it's destructive powers. The light, however, was a black light, a token of her danger. If it hadn't been for Trunks's love for her, he would've fled at the sight of her decieving beauty, and her seductive figure. He didn't like to fight with those kind of girls, let alone have a relationship with them. However, what kept him there aside from his love, was his desire to have the real Hotaru back. And although this was a part of the real Hotaru, he wanted the Hotaru he was used to back with them. Her power was of the least concern to him, and so he stepped towards her. That was a fatal mistake. Thinking that Trunks was a lethal enemy, Sataru launched an attack. The attack was death ribbon revolution. Trunks quickly teleported to a safe spot, then 5 minutes later, he teleported back to Hotaru, who was sitting there, waiting. Suddenly, she shouted, "Death Ribbon Revolution!" and Trunks was ensnared in the ribbons, not able to teleport fast enough.
**Sataru POV**
Sataru decided to toy with the oouji for a while before she killed him. It would be her greatest victory yet. She wanted to savor it. But, the moment she'd decided to play, that moment was taken by Serenity, to work. They were working with the Ginzoishou to get her back. "One more step, and the oouji gets it!" Sataru warned Serenity. Serenity stopped dead in her tracks, along with the frozen Ginzoishou. Sataru smirked down at the helpless oouji's face, and suddenly saw something she'd never experienced in his eyes. She saw love. She looked at him, and suddenly, she felt helpless. "Oouji. You know of things that I do not. What is going on between you and the Princess?" Sataru wouldn't let herself be diminished by this sudden show of feelings for the Saturnarian princess. They had become one, and she wasn't about to split without killing somebody first.
**Serenity POV**
"Princess?" Serenity asked, "Me?" she looked up. She was really after Trunks's heart. Sataru looked at her. "If you wish to kill the oouji no all sayjins, please, kill me first." she told the deadly senshi. She looked into Sataru's eyes, and for the first time, knew what she felt. She was only being protective of her younger sister, Hotaru, because she loved her. Now, she knew somehow that she had to protect Trunks, because she loved him.
**Sataru POV**
"I am not talking about you, princess, but about the hime no death and rebirth, my younger sister, Hotaru. I will not kill you, I am under your command, and that would be treason. But I am demanding to know what he's done to my younger sister. She is hurt when he is hurt, and she is glad when he is glad. I do not understand it, so I assumed that it was wrong. I just want to know why she hasn't told me about this connection." the marai warrior explained.
**Serenity POV**
Sataru's words struck Serenity down. Hotaru loved Trunks, and apparently that bound her to him, but the young senshi had stepped down, and let Serenity have Hotaru's chance. The young senshi was in a lot of pain, all because her kind heart kept her from getting what she wanted. Serenity stared up with respect at her former senshi, who was now the chief security general for her planet's palace. Serenity bowed, and said, "I do not know of this bond, but it has touched me in a way that you may not understand, my friend. Love is very complex, and having never obtaining the opportunity to experience it is a great loss, and you must have great patience for attempting to understand Hotaru. I wish you the best, but you must go back to your respective planet." Serenity's tears welled up in her eyes, as she kept her feelings bottled up, and her face neutral.
**Neutral POV**
Sataru nodded, and the oouji was released from the disappearing ribbons, and fell to the ground. Serenity rushed over to see if he was okay, and Sataru fell to the ground, detransforming into Hotaru. Trunks stood up, and brushed himself off. "I thought that she was just a part of Hotaru, another transformation level. But that was onlyher older sister?" Trunks didn't understand.
"No, her sister is a huge part of her. Without her sister, Hotaru thinks her life wouldn't be worth living. When we are off on senshi business, Hotaru has her sister. Being one with a great and lonely responsibility, it's good to have an older sister to talk with." Serenity told Trunks, tears rolling down her cheeks. trunks brushed the tears off her cheeks, and told her that he was alright.
**Hotaru POV, Flashback**
"Sataru?" Hotaru asked. She was in her room in the palace, where she and her sister insisted on sharing bunk beds. They were 13 and 14 years old. Hotaru had insisted on having a deep purple and black curtain around her part of the bunk. ' "It keeps my privacy" ' she had said. "Sataru is that you?" she'd asked. A youma had snuck through the system, disguised as Hotaru, but after it entered her room, it had returned to it's normal form.
Hotaru reached slowly for the curtain, and peeked out. She sensed an energy, it was definiately not Sataru's. It was evil. She saw a youma, and she started to panick. She had not had her training yet, and she had no energy to fight. Suddenly she heard, "Death Ribbons, Attack!" and an agonized scream filled the air. Then she heard footsteps inside and outside of her bedroom. Sataru walked towards her. "Hotaru?" she asked, "Are you alright?" and seh yanked the curtain open and hugged her sister tightly. "I thought for sure that I was going to die!" she told her sister. Just then, the security burst in, and saw the dead youma, and Hotaru hugging Sataru.
"What happened here?" the head of security demanded in his high, annoying voice. Sataru turned and glared. "You let a youma into the castle! It could've killed my sister!" she told him. She then thought up an evil idea. "I'm going to tell father that you let a youma into the castle! He'll hire you, and reappoint somebody else!" she shouted in his face. At the time, Sataru hadn't know who her father and mother would reappoint as the new head of security, or she wouldn't have told.
**End Flashback**
Hotaru writhed in her sleep. She didn't enjoy having flashbacks of scary moments. She, of course, didn't know she had been talking in her sleep, and she also didn't know that she was being watched intently by her friends. She calmed down, and then the next flashback started...
**Flashback**
"Okay, Hotaru, you've done well so far, now I want you to reach inside of you, and find your strength. Feel around for your Saturnarian energy. Then bring it up, and channel it into your attack. Attack that target. Your power will stop when it hits it. Good luck." Sataru's voice said. Hotaru quickly found her energy, but she had a hard time bringing it up. When she finally did, she realized that she'd had a hard time, because she'd kept getting more and more energy.
Hotaru stood up, her fuukuu changed with her new powers. She was a beautiful. Her hair was the same black chin length, but instead of just black, it had silver highlights in it, and was glittered with microscopic, cold stars. She had a veil on, and it was a black band with silver glitter, save the netting part was missing. On the same token, her eyes were emotionless, and blank, all black; she looked like the inhumane creature of her true nature. Her choker was the same midnight black as always, but her fuukuu was different. It was silver, and her skirt stayed black, but the ribbons on the front and back were both a deep purple. Her gloves, too, were a deep purple, and her glaive shown in the light it's destructive powers. The light, however, was a black light, a token of her danger.
Hotaru now had absolutely no control over her powers, and she ended up destoying many things, and killing many people, including her mother and father. She saw them, and her energy suddenly stopped flowing, and she screamed.
**End Flashback**
Hotaru bolted upright. She looked around to see Serenity, Trunks, and Michiru staring at her with worried expressions. "Would you people not stare at me like that? It makes me feel even more disoriented." Hotaru grumbled. Michiru, being like Hotaru's mother, sensed something amiss. She leaned over to Serenity, and whispered, "Hotaru-chan isn't alright. Something from her transformation must've removed something important for her to be so off-balance." Serenity nodded and, Trunks's face looked worried then, but it got even more creased and pale after Michiru had finished.
**Trunks POV**
' "Something from her transformation must've removed something important for her to be so off-balance." ' Trunks reviewed Michiru's words over in his head. He was getting paler, but he managed to stay neutral, and not show too much emotion on his face. He walked as calmly as possible up to his quarters, and then he broke down. Hotaru could feel everything that he felt. He had to try not to feel too much pain, or she'd be affected. He felt what she felt, though, too, and he wondered if she knew.
When Trunks found that he could think no more of what could've happened to Hotaru, he went down to the kitchen for a snack. When he got there, he found Hotaru sitting by the table, drinking a vanilla milkshake. He made no move to talk to him, nor did she him. Although the odd painful expression on his face told Hotaru that something was wrong. 'I wonder if she feels my pain right now, now that I'm so close to her...' he thought.
**Hotaru POV**
Hotaru looked up at Trunks. "What's wrong?" she asked him. He paled, and she smirked. It must be something really important for him to pale when she asked.
**Trunks POV**
Hotaru did seem very different and off-balance. It seemed as though her aura had darkened, and her ability to show affection towards people and things was taken from her. It seemed as if all she could feel was pain and death, and she fed on it. "I should be asking you the same thing, Hotaru. What's wrong with YOU?" Hotaru frowned.
**Hotaru POV**
Hotaru frowned. She did feel as if something was missing. She suddenly knew what it was. "I lost my ability to love." She told him.
