Snow was falling all around her as she stood on the bridge in the park. She was waiting for Seiya and Mamoru because she needed an explanation. How could the Royal Terran family hide this book from her all these years? It was the last record of her people-of her world-and they kept this book's existence from her. How could they?
"Wait all you want. They're not going to come." A handsome voice told Hotaru from one end of the footbridge. She looked up and saw quite a handsome-looking male. He had sort black hair, sunglasses and a silver earring dangling from his right ear. "You can't trust Terrans to come out and explain their Terran logic to someone they know is their superior."
"Who are you?" Hotaru asked, backing away as the young man came closer. "What do you want?"
"Oh, Ameus-that hurts. How could you deny knowing me, your love?" He asked taking off his sunglasses. Dark amethysts tinted with a touch of blue like hers were tinted with a touch of red. "In the Reign of Apollo, we met through our Masters, Supreme Commander Chronos-yours-and Supreme Admiral Rhea-mine. We were only children, I being your senior by 3 Terran years. Now, do you remember?"
"I have amnesia. I don't remember much about my past." Hotaru stood her ground now. He was only an arm's length away. "If you've come to play on that and invade the Earth-then I will destroy you."
He smiled at her and then pulled her into his arms. Hotaru dropped her purse from the sudden movement and soon felt warm lips crash into hers. The sensation felt familiar but that couldn't mean much. She pushed away from him and fell out of his arms, landing on her butt.
"Terran life has changed you, Ame. You must've released everything on Father World." The young man was hurt. His eyes showed it all too well. It was little wonder why he had been killed-if he really was a Saturian. From what Haruka had told her, those who showed ANY emotion were killed instantly. "Come on, Ame. Let's get indoors and reacquainted with one another."
"Don't touch me." Hotaru ordered getting to her feet and picking up her purse. "Don't even come near me. Tell me your name if you are Saturian."
"I am Morva. It means-"
"It means 'treachery' as mine means 'unleashed'." Hotaru said under her breath. The name "Morva" was Saturian-in fact it was from the Moon Mimas.
Morva nodded. "That's right. All chimera class warriors were given names like that at birth." Hotaru gave him a "huh?" kind of look. "You haven't read it all the way through, have you?" She shook her head. Morva sighed and rubbed his face. "I'll buy you some coffee as long as you read the entire thing, okay? You need to know about our people-your people."
Hotaru sensed no danger and let Morva put his arm around her shoulders to lead her to a little café. She glanced up at him, wondering where he had been all this time. He must've sensed her gaze because he looked down and gave her a handsome smile. It made her blush and look away. The way she was acting had to be making him a little worried.
If he truly was my lover, then why can't even my heart recognize him?
