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. |
