Year of Happiness
Part Two
It was morning the sky was dark and the wind was blowing fiercely as a low rumble could be heard. She couldn't help but wonder about yesterday and who called her name. The young one rose to her feet as it sound like the wind was wailing outside.
Hotaru opened her door slowly the hall was dark which was odd she walked slowly toward the stairs hoping to see Rei and Makoto downstairs waiting for her but as she walked down her eyes widen in surprise to see Usagi instead, she was looking out the window in her sliver gown. Her eyes were fixed on the storm outside, she turned slightly to see Hotaru dressed for school. The blond lass smiled as she rose from her spot and walked over to get her coat.
"Your school is opening two hours late so the girls went ahead that means I'll be taking you to school today." The blond lass said gently.
Hotaru nodded silently as they both headed out into the storm.
The winds were blowing even harder now picking up anything that wasn't bolted down. Hotaru stayed close to Usagi as they walked she was a bit scared and yet at the same time she was a bit happy. It wasn't sunny any more it was dark. Hotaru turned to see people trying to escape the storm by running into stores and cafes. Soon they reached Hotaru school kids were running inside the young lass was about to go inside but she turned to Usagi who was smiling. She bend down to the child level and looked her straight in the eyes.
"The wind is not meant to harm any more so don't worry young for you will be happy soon." the moon princess said as she gave Hotaru and light hug and walked away.
Hotaru stood there for a moment trying to understand Usagi's words she walked in side and went to class not sure what to expect today.
At high school Rei was looking out side at the storm from classroom window. she could feel that something wasn't right but what the wind was blowing fiercely but no one getting hurt. the thunder was rumbling louder as if something was coming. The bell rang class was over but Rei didn't move she was to concentrated about the storm outside. Makoto walked over to raven haired lass she sat down beside her. the brunette wanted to touch raven haired priestess but decided against it.
Rei's eyes widen as she saw a trail of a familiar essences traveling on the wind she rose to her feet and stormed out the classroom with a confused Makoto behind her.
"What is it?" Makoto asked.
"They are retuning it is time..." was all that Rei said as she kept on walking.
back at middle school Hotaru was looking out the window out of her class room. the class broke for lunch Hotaru moved close to the window looking at the storm. None of the kids were allowed to to go outside but that didn't stop her. The violet haired lass moved to the from door slowly she could heard the wind blowing threw the creaks. with a deep breath she pushed the door opened and went out side the wind was blowing all around her. she looked all around and saw items flying threw the sky she closed her eyes and began to concentrated hoping she could hear the voice she heard once more.
Hotaru..
She opened her eyes she knew that voice but it couldn't be could it? The young one rose to her feet and walked back inside she would have to have a talk with Usagi when she got home.
Leaving the store Ami sighed this storm was not getting any better, as she was about to move she looked up and couldn't believe her eyes sitting on bench across the street was Usagi. The blond teen was looking st-right at her the short blue haired lass quickly looked away how could she face her after what she did. she wanted to walk away but her mind was telling her the opposite. the blue haired teen looked up toward the bench she was still there. Taking a deep breath she walked across the street and sat down beside her. There was silence at first but that soon changed the blond teen turned to her fire and laid her hand on top of Ami's.
" The storm is bad..." Ami said.
"Yes but the worst is yet to come." the moon princess said turning to Ami.
Usagi could feel Ami fear and took a hold of her hand and gave a warm smile. which shocked the blue haired lass.
"I'm not mad you or Minako, I can understand why choose this path but i ask you one question is this really what you want to do?"
Ami wanted to say something she really did but she couldn't she wasn't sure yes she wanted to advance her knowledge and go to best school but was it worth leaving all of this behind?
"When you know the answer you knew where to find me." Usagi said as she rose to her feet and walked away.
Ami watched her walk away she then rose to her feet and walked home she had a lot to think about.
With the storm growing worst school was let out early. Rei and Makoto picked up Hotaru and decided it was bet to head home. They took each others hands and kept close to the buildings.
Hotaru...
There it was that voice again Hotaru stopped in her tracts and looked around.
"Haruka-papa?" the young one asked
"Yes..." The voice upon the wind whispered.
The girls both stopped when Hotaru did and found them self on the outskirts of a park. Rei knew something was here should could feel it in the air, Which not knowing what to do Makoto kept a close eye on Hotaru never letting her out of her sight.
The wind blew even stronger as it grew around around them. the branches were flaying, trash cans were getting thrown all over the place while benches could barely stay on the ground.
The girls stood there ground putting Hotaru behind them. Rei watched as the wind gathered in front of them in a huge ball as she looked closer she saw bright streaks of amber forming within the ball of wind. Makoto watched as the young one walked in front of them. The tall brunette tried to stop her but was met by a powerful gust of wind.
"Haruka-papa?" The young one asked again.
Hotaru... the voice replied.
Soon there was a figure forming in the ball of wind. Hotaru watched the event before her she smiled hoping beyond hope. The ball of wind grew smaller as the figure grew soon there was a huge blast of light and the symbol of Uranus shined brightly.
As the light died down and the winds slowly came to a stop. Hotaru looked up into the woman's familiar blue eyes and warm smile.
"Hello kid."The tomboyish lass said smiling
The violet haired lass jumped into the tomboyish woman's arms hugging her tightly.
Rei and Makoto watched with smiles on their faces Hotaru was happy again a happiness they haven't seen in a long time. The girls walked over and greeting Haruka and talked for a little bit.
"Lets go home." The raven haired lass said.
On that note Rei , Makoto and Haruka headed toward the condo. The tomboyish woman smiled holding a sleeping Hotaru in her arms.
At the condo Usagi was in her room standing next to the window shed smiled as the winded stopped and the cloud grew light once again. she walked over to her and and laid down with a content sigh.
"One down, two more to go..." the moon princess said
As she closed her eyes slowly falling asleep her ears picked up a light taping of rain droplets on the window it was starting to rain.
Welcome back Haruka! Hotaru is so happy but what about Ami will she make the right choice and who is coming back next? Guess i have to write the next part to find out see ya later.
