rlm@2 1 The Dark Rainbow Crystals Chapter 2
rlm@2 2 By Black Rose aka moonpower
rlm@2 3
rlm@2 4 Early the next morning, Hotaru was already up and starring out her
rlm@2 5 window. "It's so beautiful," she thought looking at the sunrise. She
rlm@2 6 walked over to the bed got her cloths, put them on, and left her
rlm@2 7 room. She considered that sitting in the rose garden would be the
rlm@2 8 best pleases to view the rest of the sunrise.
rlm@2 9 She would sometime spin time with the Queen and her mother working
rlm@2 10 in the garden.
rlm@2 11 When she got to her distention she sat down on the bench.
rlm@2 12 She looked at the pink rose that Rini and she planted the other day.
rlm@2 13 "I wish she was here with me," She thought with a sigh. As if on
rlm@2 14 que, she heard someone running up to her. She turned her head to see
rlm@2 15 a pink haired woman running towards her.
rlm@2 16 As Rini ran up to the Palace she saw her best friend setting by
rlm@2 17 herself.
rlm@2 18 "What is Hotaru doing?" she wondered as she stopped in front of her.
rlm@2 19 "Good morning, Hotaru," Rini said.
rlm@2 20 "Oh, good morning Princess,"Hotaru answered getting up and bowing to
rlm@2 21 her.
rlm@2 22 "What are you looking at?"She inquired has she scanned the area for
rlm@2 23 the point of inertest.
rlm@2 24 "I'm watching the sunrise. Would you like to join me? She asked
rlm@2 25 moving over to the side so there is room for her to set down. The
rlm@2 26 princess just nodded and sat down. The two young ladies just sat here
rlm@2 27 is silence watching the beauty in the sky. The sun was making all the
rlm@2 28 roses sparkle like a light hitting a chandelier.
rlm@2 29
rlm@2 30 "My ladies, your breakfast is ready," voiced the maid gazing down
rlm@2 31 into the gardens. The two looked up and smiled.
rlm@2 32 "Thank you, we'll be right in," replied Rini then glanced over at
rlm@2 33 her friend. "She has really pretty eyes," she thought. Hotaru got
rlm@2 34 up, turned to the Princess, and noticed that she was being looked at.
rlm@2 35 "Why, is she starring at me like that?" she wondered just then they
rlm@2 36 hared a rumble.
rlm@2 37 Rini looked down at her tummy, then back at Hotaru, and smiled. They
rlm@2 38 both started to laugh.
rlm@2 39 "Oh, sorry come on lets get going," the Princess replied walking
rlm@2 40 back into the Palace.
rlm@2 41 Hotaru just followed beside her. They stopped once at Rini's room,
rlm@2 42 so she could put some different pair of clothes on. As she was
rlm@2 43 putting on her clothes her thought stated to wander. ("Why was I
rlm@2 44 starring at her like that"?) She when walked out of her room.
rlm@2 45 On the way to the dinning room they ran into Diana and Momoko coming
rlm@2 46 out of the library with their hair all messed up. The girls stopped
rlm@2 47 and looked at the lovebirds.
rlm@2 48 "What were you guys up to?" asked Rini trying to keep a straight
rlm@2 49 face. Diana and Momoko got very red.
rlm@2 50 Hotaru and Rini couldn't keep it in any longer they busted out in a
rlm@2 51 fit of laughter. About a minute later the two friends stopped
rlm@2 52 laughing, and looked back at the newly engaged pair.
rlm@2 53 "Sorry about that," apologize Hotaru.
rlm@2 54 "I'm sorry, too. Come on, we need to get to the dinning room before
rlm@2 55 all the food is gone," replied Rini.
rlm@2 56 "Ya, before our sweet lovely Princess gets really hungry gets really
rlm@2 57 hungry," Hotaru voiced with a little smile to the princess, started
rlm@2 58 to walk past her, and down the hall.
rlm@2 59 Diana and Momoko just giggled walking past Rini, who had very
rlm@2 60 schlock face. She so followed her friends.
rlm@2 61 "Why dose Hotaru make me blush when she says things like that," Rini
rlm@2 62 thought.
rlm@2 63 As they entered the dinning room, they took their sets and started
rlm@2 64 to eat their breakfast. As everyone was talking amongst, Rini was in
rlm@2 65 deep thought.
rlm@2 66 "Why is this bothering me, it's not like she likes me," "Or is it
rlm@2 67 that I like her? Why are my thoughts so consumed by her?" She
rlm@2 68 sighed. Her mother caught it and turned to her daughter.
rlm@2 69 "Rini is everything alright?"
rlm@2 70 Rini just gave a little smile saying that she was fine.
rlm@2 71
rlm@2 72 After breakfast Rini, Diana, and Trista went to the study to look
rlm@2 73 over some paper work dealing with the crystals. As they entered, they
rlm@2 74 saw Amy peering at the some book.
rlm@2 75 "Hello Amy," Diana said going up to her
rlm@2 76 "Hello," Amy said not looking up from her book. Rini sat down,
rlm@2 77 grabbed a book, and started to look through it.
rlm@2 78 "From what we knew, they have side affects, and that Hotaru is
rlm@2 79 having dreams about them," Trista informed them.
rlm@2 80 "Are you saying that my best friend is having dreams similar to the
rlm@2 81 ones that my father had previously?" asked Rini looking up at Trista.
rlm@2 82 "Yes"
rlm@2 83
rlm@2 84 While walking around to the mall, Hotaru, Michelle, and Darien were
rlm@2 85 trying to think of something to get Rini and Helios for there wedding.
rlm@2 86 "I can't believe that our little princess is getting married,"
rlm@2 87 Michelle said.
rlm@2 88 "I knew, am so happy for them," Hotaru replied.
rlm@2 89 "I don't know, I think that Helios isn't supposed to marry my
rlm@2 90 daughter," replied the King.
rlm@2 91 "Why?" asked Michelle while looking at a dress in the window display
rlm@2 92 walked by.
rlm@2 93 "I just have this feeling in my soul that there is someone better
rlm@2 94 then Helios," he replied.
rlm@2 95 "How could that be?" Hotaru asked.
rlm@2 96 "I have an idea, that it's someone very close to her."
rlm@2 97 "Well anyway I think we better get to the mall before it gets too
rlm@2 98 late," Michelle suggested.
rlm@2 99 "Right," the other two said.
rlm@2 100 As they got closer to the mall, Hotaru was thinking, flashes of her
rlm@2 101 dream went though her head. "Hotaru help me!" someone yelled in side
rlm@2 102 her head. At the very same time, Hotaru screamed in pain holding her
rlm@2 103 head. Her body started to fall to the ground, but Darien caught her.
rlm@2 104 "Hotaru, are alright?" Michelle asked with a worried tone.
rlm@2 105 A man in his late twenties came out of the one of the stores, and
rlm@2 106 ran into them. People started too gathered around.
rlm@2 107 "Oh, I'm sorry about that," he replied with a little bow, then
rlm@2 108 walked away. Hotaru gazed up and saw the crystal in his eyes. The
rlm@2 109 crystal was a dark red, like blood.
rlm@2 110 "Mother, he…. has… a…. crystal," she whispered before she passed out.
rlm@2 111 Darien and Michelle looked over to the man that just walked in to
rlm@2 112 them. They looked at one another, and nodded.
rlm@2 113 "Michelle, take her back to the palace, and then tell my wife what
rlm@2 114 happened here," Darien ordered her, and started to walk off in the
rlm@2 115 direction the man went.
rlm@2 116 She nodded, picked up her daughter, and turned towards the palace.
rlm@2 117 When she got to the palace she put Hotaru in her room, and then went
rlm@2 118 to tell the Queen.
rlm@2 119
rlm@2 120 Hotaru was looking around. "Where am I?"
rlm@2 121 "Hotaru, you alright?" asked a soft voice. Hotaru looked around, and
rlm@2 122 found the person that was talking to her. It was Sailor Saturn.
rlm@2 123 Hotaru couldn't do anything; she just sat there looking at herself.
rlm@2 124 "It's ok Hotaru, I won't heart you," holding her hand out to help
rlm@2 125 her up. Hotaru took her hand and got up.
rlm@2 126 "What's going on here, why do you look like me?"
rlm@2 127 "I look like you because I am you; your sailor part."
rlm@2 128 "Oh…. Why? Did I pass out?"
rlm@2 129 "I think it was the crystal, but from what I can tell we're alright."
rlm@2 130 "Well, that's good." Hotaru said looking around to see were she was.
rlm@2 131 "Hotaru!" a voice was heard. Saturn looked around trying to find out
rlm@2 132 were the voice was coming from. She held Hotaru protectively.
rlm@2 133 "It's Rini." with shock in her voice
rlm@2 134 "Yes, the Princess, I think you have better get up, see what is
rlm@2 135 going on, and remember if you need to talk just think of me and I'll
rlm@2 136 be here."
rlm@2 137 "Right"
rlm@2 138 "Don't worry, Rini, she'll wake up soon," Trista said.
rlm@2 139 "It's mother," Hotaru said.
rlm@2 140 "We need to wake up," replied Saturn hugging Hotaru. They both
rlm@2 141 closed their eyes. When she opened her eyes this time she saw that
rlm@2 142 she was in her room. She looked around to see Trista, and Princess
rlm@2 143 Rini talking about something at the end of her bed.
rlm@2 144 The Princess turn her head to the right to see her friend getting
rlm@2 145 off her bed, she walked really fast over to her ,and gave her a hug,
rlm@2 146 She was thanking God that she was safe, healthy, and awake.
rlm@2 147 "Taru-Chan, are you feeling better?"
rlm@2 148 She nodded, "What's up with the nickname?" Hotaru thought as she
rlm@2 149 hugged back
rlm@2 150
rlm@2 151 At the other end of the city, Darien followed the man to the beach
rlm@2 152 were he stopped.
rlm@2 153 "What do you what?" he asked
rlm@2 154 "What is you name?" Darien asked taking out a red rose from is coat.
rlm@2 155 "Zack" turning around to see a while flash, he closed his eyes from
rlm@2 156 the light.
rlm@2 157 When the light dimmed down, The King of Crystal Tokyo was standing
rlm@2 158 there.
rlm@2 159 "My King" he said bowed down.
rlm@2 160 "Zack, there is something I need form you."
rlm@2 161 I knew what you asking of me," (he pauses for a moment) "the crystal."
rlm@2 162 The King just looks on in shock. "How do you..."
rlm@2 163 "My mother told me, before she died, she said that she been having a
rlm@2 164 repeating dream," (he turned back around) "There's this woman with
rlm@2 165 long pink hair standing next to my mother and telling her that her
rlm@2 166 son will have one of the seven Dark Rainbow Crystals, but only
rlm@2 167 Princess Saturn could have it."
rlm@2 168 The King pondered. The realization that Rini and Hotaru could both
rlm@2 169 be connected to possession of the crystals began to set in his mind.
rlm@2 170 The sickening feeling that his only daughter could be in peril seeped
rlm@2 171 into the king's soul; the link between Rini and Hotaru, to the
rlm@2 172 crystals alluded and deeply troubled him.
rlm@2 173 "Honey!" someone yelled from behind them. They turned around to see
rlm@2 174 the queen running up to them, with Neptune, Uranus, and Mercury just
rlm@2 175 behind her.
rlm@2 176 "Darien, are you alright?" "I came as soon as I heard from Neptune."
rlm@2 177 "I'm fine, but we have a problem, Saturn is the only one that can
rlm@2 178 have the crystal."
rlm@2 179 "Why Hotaru?" asked Neptune. She could feel sadness deep down in her
rlm@2 180 that her only daughter is in danger again.
rlm@2 181 "From what I can tell; Saturn is linked to this crystal, I'm certain
rlm@2 182 of that," Darien said.
rlm@2 183 "He's right, we need Saturn here, or we would able to get it,"
rlm@2 184 Mercury said while tipping on her mini computer.
rlm@2 185 "Are you certain, Mercury?" asked the Queen.
rlm@2 186 "Very certain," she replied.
rlm@2 187 "I'll call her," the King said taking is cell out.
rlm@2 188
rlm@2 189 Hotaru was in her office looking out the window. She just got done
rlm@2 190 talking to the King, saying that they need her to come to the beach
rlm@2 191 on the west side of the city. She didn't know why, but said that she
rlm@2 192 would be there as soon as she could.
rlm@2 193 "Why me?" she though at the sometime there was a knock at the door
rlm@2 194 taking. This took her out of her thoughts.
rlm@2 195 "Come in." The door opened, and a woman about 28 years old came in.
rlm@2 196 She had a greenish-black dress on, with black hair and a long ponytail
rlm@2 197 "Hello, Seiya,"
rlm@2 198 "Ya, How is very thing going?" as she sat down. The room was about
rlm@2 199 the size of a small classroom. It had two big windows on both sides
rlm@2 200 of the room, and about eighty different lamps.
rlm@2 201 I'm alright; I got a call from the King. He asked me to come to the
rlm@2 202 west side of the city, something about the crystal."
rlm@2 203 Seiya looked a little worried about this, she had heard about the
rlm@2 204 crystals from Trista, and didn't like were this was going. What mad
rlm@2 205 this even more upsetting was the idea that she couldn't help.
rlm@2 206 "I'm not sure what to say."
rlm@2 207 "You don't have to worry Seiya-mama, but if you would like to come
rlm@2 208 with me, I wouldn't mind."
rlm@2 209 She was glad that she could help with something.
rlm@2 210 "Well take our car, if you would like," a voice said from behind
rlm@2 211 them. The two turned around to see who it was.
rlm@2 212 "Thanks mother," replied Hotaru with a smile, she was happy to have
rlm@2 213 a caring family. She walked over to her desk to get her coat and back
rlm@2 214 to her mothers. Then the trio went out the door.
rlm@2 215 As the three to the car, a white convertible rolled up next to them.
rlm@2 216 The doors opened, Rini and Helios came out.
rlm@2 217 "Where are you guys off too?" asked Rini walking around the car a
rlm@2 218 stand next to her fiancé.
rlm@2 219 "Your father called and need to see Hotaru right away," Trista told
rlm@2 220 her, then got it to the front seat of the car.
rlm@2 221 "Later guys," Seiya said while getting into the driver seat and
rlm@2 222 closed the door. Hotaru just got in and closed the door, and they
rlm@2 223 took off. As soon as the car was out of sight, Rini let go of Helios.
rlm@2 224 He looked at her.
rlm@2 225 "I'm going; I need to speak with my mother about something." She
rlm@2 226 kisses him and walking in to the Palace. He just nodded, got back
rlm@2 227 into the car, and drove off.
rlm@2 228 As Rini walked down the hall to her mother's office, she ran into
rlm@2 229 Venus, and her little girl.
rlm@2 230 "Well, hello Venus, and you too Dainae" Dainae was eight year old.
rlm@2 231 She has blond hair like her mother. She is wearing a blue spaghetti
rlm@2 232 strap dress with little pink rose all around it.
rlm@2 233 "Hello Princess, we're you off too?" asked Venus holding onto
rlm@2 234 Dainae's hand.
rlm@2 235 "I'm on my way too see my mother, I need to speck to her."
rlm@2 236 "Oh, I think your mother told me that she heard from Neptune that
rlm@2 237 they were going to the west side beach."
rlm@2 238 "Why did she go there?"
rlm@2 239 "I think it was because they found the first crystal." "I think its
rlm@2 240 time for a nap," Venus said in low voice looking down at a tired
rlm@2 241 little girl, who was falling asleep. "I'm going to get this little
rlm@2 242 one to bed, I'll talk to you later Princess," She said walking way.
rlm@2 243
rlm@2 244 Rini just stand there thinking to herself. Then it hit her, wasn't
rlm@2 245 that were Hotaru was going with Trista, and Seiya. She ran to her
rlm@2 246 room, got her keys, got on her motorcycle, and drove off as fast as
rlm@2 247 she could go.
rlm@2 248 "I'm coming Taru-chan." At the same time she transformed into her
rlm@2 249 sailor uniform.
rlm@2 250
rlm@2 251 Darien turned his head when he heard a car stop. Three females got
rlm@2 252 out of the car and approached them.
rlm@2 253 "Is that they guy?" asked Trista looking right a Zack.
rlm@2 254 "Yes"
rlm@2 255 Zack turned around, looked right at Hotaru, "I knew she come."
rlm@2 256 He walked up to her and held his hand out to her. Hotaru just looked
rlm@2 257 at him then at the hand, and back at him.
rlm@2 258 "Please, take my hand Saturn, it's the only way."
rlm@2 259 She nodded and slowly gave him her hand. As she took his hand his
rlm@2 260 body started to get very hot, it was even turning sand into to glass.
rlm@2 261 Then with a blinding light the body was gone and the blood crystal
rlm@2 262 fell into Hotaru's hand. At that very moment Rini rode up, she
rlm@2 263 shielded her eyes form the light, as she got off her bike, and ran
rlm@2 264 over to her parents.
rlm@2 265 "What happened." She asked approaching them.
rlm@2 266 "I don't know," answered her mother.
rlm@2 267 As the light dimmed down, they all say that Hotaru was on her knees.
rlm@2 268 Rini toke off to see if her friend was alright.
rlm@2 269 "Taru-chan, you alright?"
rlm@2 270 "Rini, we're you, I can't see you?" she asked looking left and right.
rlm@2 271 "What are you talking about?" "I'm right in front of you." Then she
rlm@2 272 scanned her friend's body for any ingress, and notices at that her
rlm@2 273 eyes were a milky white color.
rlm@2 274 Hotaru moved her hands and touched her friends face. Rini just
rlm@2 275 looked at her, she couldn't take it any more.
rlm@2 276 "Mercury, get over here now!" The other ran over to them. Rini help
rlm@2 277 Hotaru to her feet.
rlm@2 278 "What happened?" asked Mercury looking at Hotaru
rlm@2 279 "Well, other then I can't see a thing, I feel find," Hotaru said
rlm@2 280 turning her head to everyone. The shock went though everyone.
rlm@2 281 "Would you stop panicking, you're starting to scare me."
rlm@2 282 "Kitten…." Uranus started then stops.
rlm@2 283 "I can feel you guys looking at me," she answered
rlm@2 284 "Mercury, what do you think?" asked the King
rlm@2 285 "It's the side effect from the crystal, I tell you that much." She
rlm@2 286 said scanning the crystal in Hotaru's hand.
rlm@2 287 "Do you knew how long it will last?" asked the Queen.
rlm@2 288 "It's hard to tell, I don't have all the information at this time to
rlm@2 289 say," she replied.
rlm@2 290 "Well, we better get you home Hotaru," said Neptune taking her
rlm@2 291 daughter to the car and driving home.
rlm@2 292 "You coming Rini?" asked her mother
rlm@2 293 "I think I'm going to stay here a while ok," she replied turning
rlm@2 294 started to walk down the beach
rlm@2 295 "Alright, but done be to long dear," and walked back to her car.
rlm@2 296
rlm@2 297 As Rini walked down the beach, she could feel the wind blowing
rlm@2 298 past her. She stops and looked out at the sea. The feel she was
rlm@2 299 getting was different and new to her.
rlm@2 300 "What is this feeling?"
rlm@2 301 "What are you doing out her, by yourself?" asked a person. Rini
rlm@2 302 looked beside her; it was a little girl about ten years old with dark
rlm@2 303 eyes, and long black hair. She wears a blue dress with a white hat.
rlm@2 304 "What are you doing?" she asked again.
rlm@2 305 "Just thing"
rlm@2 306 "About what?"
rlm@2 307 "You're a curious little kitten, aren't you?" The little girl just
rlm@2 308 looked up and smiled.
rlm@2 309 "You look upset?"
rlm@2 310 "You could say that" she kneeled down "What's your name?"
rlm@2 311 "Oh, sorry about that, my name is Sierra," she answered with a
rlm@2 312 little curtsy.
rlm@2 313 "Well Sierra, I have a friend that just lost her sight."
rlm@2 314 "Oh, is she alright?"
rlm@2 315 "I hope so."
rlm@2 316 "Shouldn't you be with her, it's seem that you really care about her."
rlm@2 317 "I wanted to, but…"
rlm@2 318 "What are you afraid of, it's not like you're in love with her?" "I
rlm@2 319 mean you have Helios." "Do you really need her in your life?"
rlm@2 320 "What did you just say?" Rini asked turning her head to Sierra, but
rlm@2 321 she wasn't there.
rlm@2 322 Rini looked around but couldn't find her.
rlm@2 323 "Where did she go?" After about a minute she got back on her bike,
rlm@2 324 and rode home.
rlm@2 325
rlm@2 326 On the other side of the city, Sierra walked in to the park, and
rlm@2 327 sat next to the lake, and looked up at the stars. They looked like
rlm@2 328 little fireflies dancing around.
rlm@2 329 "There really pretty aren't they?" A woman said walking up to
rlm@2 330 Sierra. She looked to be in her middle twenties with long hair, and
rlm@2 331 violet eyes. She sat down, and looks up at the stars with Sierra.
rlm@2 332 "They say that if you see a shooting star and the first person that
rlm@2 333 you think of will become your soul mate."
rlm@2 334 "Do you really believe that mother?" she asked as she lied down on
rlm@2 335 her mother's lap.
rlm@2 336 Her mother didn't say any thing just looked up at eh stars. Sierra
rlm@2 337 looked up; she could see the pain in her mother's eyes, as if a knife
rlm@2 338 was digging into her heart really slowly. She knew her mother has
rlm@2 339 been trying for years to see a shooting star. A tear hit her face.
rlm@2 340 She looked up and saw her mother crying. It was something that she
rlm@2 341 had to get use to. She that is way she sworn that she would kill them
rlm@2 342 for what they did.
