Year of Happiness
Part Three
Its been a few weeks since Haruka return and Hotaru couldn't be any happier. The violet haired lass tried to spend every waking moment with her. Haruka didn't seems to mind one bit.
Rei thought it was best for her to return to the temple she needed the flames guidance on the matter at hand. Makoto wanted to join her but she was told to stay here she needed to do this alone. This sadden the thunder goddess but she kept it to her self as she tended to Hotaru getting her ready for school. Usagi watched Hotaru and Makoto head off to school she waved goodbye and smiled as they walked down the street. She's watched Hotaru's Happiness rise within in the last few weeks, she smiles more and talks more often that's how it should be.
Usagi watched the sky it was dark and thunder rumbled loudly with a few flashes of lighting, the rain was light but it was still there. Haruka rose from the couch and joined Usagi near the window.
"Is there something troubling you Odango-Atama?
The blond haired lass smiled she hasn't been called that in a long time.
"Everything is coming back together piece by piece.."
"Yeah so whats the problem? the tomboyish woman asked.
"some pieces are going to be harder to put together than others. the blond haired teen said as she headed to her room.
Haruka watched her leave then sat down on the couch, she turned on the TV and relaxed as she tired to figure out what Usagi meant by that last statement.
At the temple, Rei was sitting by the scared flames deep in prayer. The return of Haruka made her seeks the fires guidance. After a few hours of intense praying the flames and the color changed from burning red to a sea blue. The raven haired lass opened her eyes and stred into the sea blue flames the symbol of Neptune appeared. Rei knew that she was coming soon.
As she rose to her feet she heard the door slid open, turning around she smiled when she saw a short blue haired lass standing in the door way with her laptop in hand.
I want to help." the blue haired genius said with determination.
"Come then you can help me prepare for her arrival." The raven haired priestess said with a nod.
Ami smiled as she went to help Rei she has made her choice she was glad to be back.
Standing in front of Hotaru school Makoto waved good bye to Hotaru as she watched the young one entered the school building. She walked down the street heading to class she was probably late but she didn't seem to care. She looked down at the ground with a light sigh. Everyone knew what was going on except her and when she asked she doesn't get a clear answer. The thunder princess sat down on the bench near by she wasn't sure of a lot of things anymore.
Makoto glanced to her right to see someone else sitting on the bench she looked up and saw a familiar blond haired with blue sea blue eyes.
"....Me and you are out of the loop the funny thing is I chose this and you didn't." The young lass said.
Makoto remained silent she didn't know what to say to that.
Minako looked to the sky as a light wind breezed passed them she rose to her feet with a light yawn.
"I don't feel like going to school today how about we go shopping instead?" the happy blond asked.
Makoto looked up at her fiend and rose to her feet she was right she didn't like going to school either.
"Sure." Makoto said with a smile
School was staring like any other boning school day but Hotaru was to happy to care Haruka-papa was back and she didn't know why but she felt the others would being returning as well. The school bell ran it was time to head to the next class the young violet haired lass smiled she couldn't wait to get home.
At the mall Minako and Makoto were having the time of their lives. They walked in to almost every store. Minako was mostly shopping while the thunder princess kept window shopping. its was around noon when the girls decided to take a break. they grabbed some hot dogs from a fast food place and sat down at the food court. after taking a bite of her hot dog the tall brunette looked to her friend.
"Why did you leave?" she asked hoping to get an answer.
The senshi of love sat there for a moment trying to find the right words to say when she couldn't find them she decided to tell the truth.
"I was scared we both were so we decided to distancing our self as much as possible, but as you see that didn't work so tell me how are you and Rei doing?" The blond lass asked.
This came as a shock to her she looked to Minako who lips held a smirk.
"..She's to busy with the outers coming back and everything." The tall brunette said in a sad tone.
The senshi of love nodded her with another smile while Makoto was sat there confused. Minako rose to her feet picking up her bags and stared walking with Makoto right behind.
"Its time to go pick up Hotaru ...oh and dont worry Rei she'll come around soon or later." The blond haired lass said with a smile.
Minako and Makoto went their separate ways the senshi goddess of love waved goodbye as she disappeared down the street the tall brunette smiled she had a feeling she would come join them once again.
The school bell ran it was the end of the day the kids were running of the school building glad to leave and Hotaru was one of them. the young gave the thunder senshi and hug before they stared walking home. Hotaru talked the whole way there which made thunder senshi smile. when they were only a few blocks away from home Makoto could feel it a change with in the weather. The sky was getting dark as the clouds block the sun light a low rumble could be heard as the rain began to fall. both girls quickly made it in side before the rain came pouring down.
Haruka was there to welcome them but she noticed they two of them were looking out side the window. So she looked out and so the saw storm but what interested her most was the rain it weird a strange feeling came over her.
Michiru.....
On the sea floor a nude figure with short aqua green hair eyes opened as the sea roared.
Wow! Minako I hope you come back to the group and it looks like Michiru is about to awaken. I wonder what is going to happen next. Guess I have to write the next part to find out see ya later!
