rlm@2 1 This is a Sekkushiaru Roman.
rlm@2 2 This story is the third and final part of the trilogy Hotaru's
rlm@2 3 pain. Not so sad as parts 1 & 2. Hotaru is about 16 years old here.

rlm@2 10 <Two years... Two years since she left...>
rlm@2 11 "Tomoe Hotaru!" The sharp voice emanating from the teacher knocked
rlm@2 12 the black haired girl out of her thoughts.
rlm@2 13 "Tomoe Hotaru, do you know the answer?"
rlm@2 14 Hotaru looked around the class, everybody was looking at her and
rlm@2 15 the teacher was waiting for an answer. The moment somebody
rlm@2 16 whispered the right answer, the teacher already got tired of
rlm@2 17 waiting.
rlm@2 18 "Hotaru, you have been daydreaming again. I will have to report
rlm@2 19 you to your class teacher. Now pay attention to the rest of the
rlm@2 20 lesson."
rlm@2 21
rlm@2 22 ***
rlm@2 23
rlm@2 24 Hotaru entered the kitchen and put her schoolbag down next to the
rlm@2 25 table. Setsuna was making lunch and Haruka sat at the dinner table.
rlm@2 26 "Was there any mail for me?" Hotaru asked, looking at Setsuna. The
rlm@2 27 tall woman was making lunch and completely ignored the younger girl
rlm@2 28 behind her back. The moment of silence was only to be broken by
rlm@2 29 Haruka's voice.
rlm@2 30 "Sorry, nothing for you Hotaru-chan."
rlm@2 31 Ever since ChibiUsa left two years ago Setsuna brought Hotaru
rlm@2 32 letters from the princess every now and then. Setsuna broke almost
rlm@2 33 every taboo by doing this. She couldn't help it when ChibiUsa
rlm@2 34 looked at her with pleading eyes in Crystal Tokyo and Hotaru with
rlm@2 35 much the same eyes in the 20th century. Setsuna could only bring
rlm@2 36 over a letter every few months and ChibiUsa wasn't allowed to write
rlm@2 37 anything about the future. This was why their letters were very
rlm@2 38 intense and emotional and Hotaru liked it that way. Although she
rlm@2 39 was wondering about her future self and about Crystal Tokyo, she
rlm@2 40 was grateful that she could still be in contact with ChibiUsa. But
rlm@2 41 in the past four months no letter came from the princess.
rlm@2 42 Although she tried to ignore the little girl, Setsuna's heart was
rlm@2 43 breaking at the thought that she couldn't bring Hotaru any messages
rlm@2 44 from ChibiUsa this time.
rlm@2 45
rlm@2 46
rlm@2 47 In her dark room Hotaru sat down on the bed and her mind drifted
rlm@2 48 away from her surroundings.
rlm@2 49 <Why won't she write? Is ChibiUsa hurt? Or maybe even sick? Maybe
rlm@2 50 she doesn't love me anymore? Maybe she never loved me... No! She
rlm@2 51 said she loves me. Nobody forced her to say that!>
rlm@2 52 Hotaru rolled over on her bed and opened a drawer on her night
rlm@2 53 table. She pulled out a bunch of letters and turned on a lamp
rlm@2 54 beside her bed.
rlm@2 55 She began reading the old love letters when her dark, purple eyes
rlm@2 56 spotted something she hadn't noticed before. Inside the envelope of
rlm@2 57 the last letter were a few words written:
rlm@2 58
rlm@2 59 'ps: i have a suprize for u.'
rlm@2 60
rlm@2 61 This was definitely written by ChibiUsa. It was her handwriting and
rlm@2 62 even Neo Queen Serenity couldn't make that many errors.
rlm@2 63
rlm@2 64
rlm@2 65 The rest of the day was quiet at the house where the Outer Senshi
rlm@2 66 lived. Haruka and Michiru rented a romantic movie which they
rlm@2 67 watched in their bedroom. Setsuna was calculating some time
rlm@2 68 anomalies on her computer and Hotaru was thinking about the note
rlm@2 69 she found in the envelope.
rlm@2 70
rlm@2 71
rlm@2 72 The raven haired girl woke up with an unusual feeling the next
rlm@2 73 morning. Something is going to happen. Something important.
rlm@2 74 "What is it, Hotaru-chan?" Michiru asked while Hotaru was silently
rlm@2 75 eating her breakfast.
rlm@2 76 "Nothing, Michiru-mama."
rlm@2 77 "Come on, I can see something is wrong, sweetie."
rlm@2 78 "It's nothing really. It's just this strange feeling."
rlm@2 79 At this point Haruka and Setsuna became interested too.
rlm@2 80 "A new enemy?" Haruka asked.
rlm@2 81 "No, no. Nothing like that. I just have this strange feeling
rlm@2 82 something important is going to happen to me..."
rlm@2 83 Suddenly the sound of a horn from a car thundered in front of the
rlm@2 84 house.
rlm@2 85
rlm@2 86 ***
rlm@2 87
rlm@2 88 "What do you think she's going to say, Usagi-chan?"
rlm@2 89 The sound of Usagi's laughter chimed throughout the car.
rlm@2 90 "What is it, got cold feet?"
rlm@2 91 "No!"
rlm@2 92 "Are you ready?" Mamoru asked.
rlm@2 93 "Wait a minute." The girl sitting in the back of the car got out
rlm@2 94 and took a deep breath. She was very obviously nervous.
rlm@2 95 "Okay, I'm ready."
rlm@2 96
rlm@2 97 ***
rlm@2 98
rlm@2 99 The three young women and the girl looked at each other at the
rlm@2 100 sound of the horn and jointly got up. Hotaru's feeling grew
rlm@2 101 stronger the closer she came to the front door. She got nervous
rlm@2 102 when she reached for the doorknob. Feelings of fear and anger came
rlm@2 103 up. Anger because of fear. She's a senshi. She shouldn't be afraid.
rlm@2 104 Her hand slowly - painfully slowly - pushed the door open.
rlm@2 105
rlm@2 106 ***
rlm@2 107
rlm@2 108 The girl standing next to Mamoru's car was getting more nervous
rlm@2 109 with each second that passed. She was standing on the sidewalk,
rlm@2 110 looking at the door of the house in front of her. She looked at
rlm@2 111 Usagi and Mamoru, looking for reassurance and found two supporting
rlm@2 112 loving smiles.
rlm@2 113 Then, the door slowly began to open.
rlm@2 114
rlm@2 115 ***
rlm@2 116
rlm@2 117 When Hotaru finally opened the door she saw Mamoru's car and a
rlm@2 118 girl standing beside it. Hotaru could hardly believe her eyes. The
rlm@2 119 girl looked about her age, her hair was pink and put up in two
rlm@2 120 pointy odangos. Her ponytails reached her knees but were a bit
rlm@2 121 puffy at their base. She was slim, her bust was not too big and
rlm@2 122 surely not too small. The girl's beauty hypnotized Hotaru.
rlm@2 123 The girl was looking at Hotaru with a nervous smile on her face.
rlm@2 124 She was standing perfectly still, like a statue. Usagi's head
rlm@2 125 popped out of Mamoru's car and she gave the girl a little push. The
rlm@2 126 girl made a step forward, then another, then began running towards
rlm@2 127 Hotaru.
rlm@2 128 "Hotaru-chan!" A familiar squeak came from the girl's mouth and
rlm@2 129 tears started filling her crimson eyes.
rlm@2 130 "Chi... bi... u... sa...?"
rlm@2 131 The girl reached Hotaru, threw her arms around her and began
rlm@2 132 crying on her shoulder.
rlm@2 133
rlm@2 134 ***
rlm@2 135
rlm@2 136 "You got so big..."
rlm@2 137 "A few hundred years passed in my time since I last saw you."
rlm@2 138 Silence followed for a moment.
rlm@2 139 "You are beautiful ChibiUsa-chan." Another moment of silence
rlm@2 140 passed as they were staring deeply into each other's eyes. Hotaru
rlm@2 141 leaned forward and gently and softly kissed ChibiUsa.
rlm@2 142 "Why did you come back?"
rlm@2 143 "Because of you. – I came to ask you out on our first official
rlm@2 144 date."
rlm@2 145 "Wha-?" Hotaru wasn't able to finish the word as ChibiUsa pressed
rlm@2 146 her lips on Hotaru's.
rlm@2 147 "Don't you want to go out on a date with me, Taru-chan?" ChibiUsa
rlm@2 148 asked mischievously, already seeing the sparks of joy in her
rlm@2 149 lover's eyes.
rlm@2 150 "Oh, ChibiUsa-chan! I love you so much!" Hotaru squealed and
rlm@2 151 hugged ChibiUsa.
rlm@2 152 "Okay, listen. We both go to the shopping center tomorrow and buy
rlm@2 153 a nice outfit for our date. You go with your parents and I go with
rlm@2 154 the other girls. And we're not supposed to see what we bought until
rlm@2 155 tomorrow evening. 'Kay?" Hotaru was amazed.
rlm@2 156 "How long did you plan this evening Chibi-chan?"
rlm@2 157 "Oh, just the last one hundred years," she said, causing laughter
rlm@2 158 to fill Hotaru's room.
rlm@2 159
rlm@2 160 ***
rlm@2 161
rlm@2 162 "Haruka-papa! Do I look sexy in this?" Hotaru called across the
rlm@2 163 store where Haruka and Setsuna were standing. Both looked somewhat
rlm@2 164 sad seeing their daughter picking out dresses for her first date.
rlm@2 165 "Come on, sweetie. Let's find something that shows your long legs
rlm@2 166 off!" The two heard Michiru say enthusiastically in the distance.
rlm@2 167 "We're losing her," Haruka commentated on the situation.
rlm@2 168 "Yeah. I know."
rlm@2 169 "Michiru doesn't seem to mind."
rlm@2 170 "She compensates for it by playing dress-up with our daughter."
rlm@2 171 Haruka looked at Setsuna strangely. "What?! Why are you looking at
rlm@2 172 me like that? Being the keeper of the gates of time for a couple of
rlm@2 173 centuries gets boring from time to time!"
rlm@2 174 "Errrr... okay. Oh, look! There's ChibiUsa-chan with the other
rlm@2 175 girls!"
rlm@2 176
rlm@2 177 "Oh no, spies! Hide the dress!" ChibiUsa exclaimed when she saw
rlm@2 178 the two women approaching.
rlm@2 179 "Don't worry Small Lady. We won't tell anything."
rlm@2 180 "Okay, then help me. Haruka-san, do I look sexy in this?"
rlm@2 181
rlm@2 182 ***
rlm@2 183
rlm@2 184 For Hotaru this was the happiest day in her life. In a few minutes
rlm@2 185 she would go out on her first date. On a date with the person she
rlm@2 186 loved more than anything else in the universe. Two years ago she
rlm@2 187 had buried the thought of seeing ChibiUsa sooner than in about a
rlm@2 188 thousand years, but now she's here. Here, in the guest room – the
rlm@2 189 room next to Hotaru's - getting ready for their date. Though
rlm@2 190 something was still wrong – Hotaru could feel it.
rlm@2 191 Suddenly a scratch was heard from the door. This was Diana's sign
rlm@2 192 that ChibiUsa is about to come out of her room. Hotaru looked one
rlm@2 193 last time in the mirror, got up from her chair and turned around.
rlm@2 194 She was facing her parents now.
rlm@2 195 "How do I look?"
rlm@2 196 "Pretty."
rlm@2 197 "Adorable."
rlm@2 198 "Sexy."
rlm@2 199 She smiled nervously and walked towards the door. She opened it
rlm@2 200 and stepped into the hallway. The hall was filled with people.
rlm@2 201 Usagi and her friends were there – they were helping ChibiUsa with
rlm@2 202 her make-up and dress. Even Hotaru's parents stepped out in the
rlm@2 203 hallway.
rlm@2 204
rlm@2 205 Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there
rlm@2 206 With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
rlm@2 207 She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
rlm@2 208 "Come in," she said "I'll give you
rlm@2 209 Shelter from the storm"
rlm@2 210
rlm@2 211 Hotaru wrote those words down in her diary a long time ago –
rlm@2 212 actually in another lifetime. She heard them in a song on the radio
rlm@2 213 some days after she first met ChibiUsa. They fit so well then and
rlm@2 214 they fit so well now.
rlm@2 215
rlm@2 216 ***
rlm@2 217
rlm@2 218 The first stars were already appearing on the evening sky as the
rlm@2 219 lovers walked into a restaurant. It was the restaurant which Haruka
rlm@2 220 and Michiru often visited.
rlm@2 221 Haruka called the restaurant earlier to make sure the girls would
rlm@2 222 be treated accordingly and that she would later settle the bill.
rlm@2 223 The girls were led to a table for two and ChibiUsa ordered a bottle
rlm@2 224 of champagne.
rlm@2 225 "Champagne, ChibiUsa-chan? Why did you order champagne?" ChibiUsa
rlm@2 226 just shrugged her shoulders.
rlm@2 227 "I don't know. It's a special occasion, isn't it Taru-chan?"
rlm@2 228 Hotaru smiled. "Yes it is,"
rlm@2 229 Both were enjoying the tickling of the champagne in their mouths
rlm@2 230 and the tickling of love in their stomachs. They both remained
rlm@2 231 silent for a couple of minutes, studying the lines of their faces,
rlm@2 232 exploring the changes of the years that passed. The purple and
rlm@2 233 crimson eyes met and lost themselves in the depths. They were
rlm@2 234 holding hands again, just like a long time ago. But this time was
rlm@2 235 different. A long time ago they hadn't confessed their love to each
rlm@2 236 other yet.
rlm@2 237 Evening turned into night, the crowd in the restaurant thinned
rlm@2 238 down.
rlm@2 239 "Taru-chan, do you remember the poem you gave me when I left?"
rlm@2 240 "The poem? Yes, I remember it. Though I wish I wouldn't. It's not
rlm@2 241 a good poem. It's stupid."
rlm@2 242
rlm@2 243 "Little bunny on the moon
rlm@2 244 On the moon so far away
rlm@2 245 The firefly cannot fly high
rlm@2 246 High enough to reach the sky"
rlm@2 247
rlm@2 248 "The little bunny on the moon
rlm@2 249 Came down to earth to seek a friend
rlm@2 250 Oh firefly, a friend is here
rlm@2 251 A friend is here, a love is here"
rlm@2 252
rlm@2 253 Hotaru blushed dark red as ChibiUsa recited the poem Hotaru wrote
rlm@2 254 two years ago.
rlm@2 255 "You- You learned it by heart..."
rlm@2 256 "I think it's beautiful. Like you."
rlm@2 257 ChibiUsa gently caressed Hotaru's hands within her own. ChibiUsa's
rlm@2 258 eyes grew darker. Slowly, she was preparing herself to tell Hotaru
rlm@2 259 the true reason she had come back.
rlm@2 260 "Hotaru, I have to tell you something important. About you and
rlm@2 261 me... and the future."
rlm@2 262 Hotaru nodded and smiled to ChibiUsa. She knew she was going to
rlm@2 263 hear something she rather wouldn't but she didn't want to make it
rlm@2 264 harder for ChibiUsa – her true love.
rlm@2 265 "I expected that ChibiUsa, I have sensed it since yesterday. Go
rlm@2 266 ahead,
rlm@2 267 I'm ready."
rlm@2 268 ChibiUsa sighed and began:
rlm@2 269 "Hotaru, where I come from, in my future, we two do not have the
rlm@2 270 thing we share here. We do not share this love we have here. I
rlm@2 271 searched for you after I came back from the past. I found you but
rlm@2 272 you were not the same. You... you rejected me."
rlm@2 273 "ChibiUsa..." Hotaru gasped in shock.
rlm@2 274 "Yes. And I do not know why. I could see in you eyes you love me.
rlm@2 275 I could see the tears that tried to break your eyes but you
rlm@2 276 remained strong. You did not even want to talk to me. I came back
rlm@2 277 to the past to change that future. Hotaru, I want you to promise me
rlm@2 278 something. For what we have here, promise me you will never deceive
rlm@2 279 your feelings. And promise me that if you ever stop loving me, you
rlm@2 280 will look me in the eyes and tell me that."
rlm@2 281 "ChibiUsa, I will always -"
rlm@2 282 "No! Do not tell me you will always love me! Promise me these two
rlm@2 283 things!"
rlm@2 284 "I promise you."
rlm@2 285 "Thank you Hotaru. Now I can go back to my future reassured. I was
rlm@2 286 only given a limited time here. I will have to leave soon.
rlm@2 287 Tomorrow," ChibiUsa said with a sigh. Three simple words: I promise
rlm@2 288 you. Could these three simple words change the future? A future
rlm@2 289 that somehow went terribly wrong for her.
rlm@2 290 "Tomorrow already? Then... Then we'll have to make this night a
rlm@2 291 night to remember." Hotaru tried to hide her hurt behind a
rlm@2 292 reassuring smile.
rlm@2 293 "Thank you Hotaru. But you forgot who you are talking to. I can
rlm@2 294 see through your masks. You don't have to smile if you don't feel
rlm@2 295 like it."
rlm@2 296 "Don't you understand it ChibiUsa? I want to smile to make *you*
rlm@2 297 smile. When I see your smile it always makes me feel better."
rlm@2 298 Now a smile lit ChibiUsa's face also.
rlm@2 299 "Thank you ChibiUsa. Can I say it now?"
rlm@2 300 "Go ahead."
rlm@2 301 "I will always love you ChibiUsa."
rlm@2 302 "And I will always love you Hotaru."
rlm@2 303
rlm@2 304 ***
rlm@2 305
rlm@2 306 Midnight already passed when the two young women came to Hotaru's
rlm@2 307 home. It was arranged that ChibiUsa would stay in the guest room in
rlm@2 308 the Outer's mansion but everybody soon realized that they would
rlm@2 309 spend the night in the same room.
rlm@2 310 The girls quietly took off their shoes and went upstairs holding
rlm@2 311 hands. They remained quiet when they were passing the halls until
rlm@2 312 they reached the door to Hotaru's room. Hotaru reached for the
rlm@2 313 doorknob but then she turned around with a question on her flushed
rlm@2 314 face. They slept together all the time when they were younger. But
rlm@2 315 now was different. Now they were in love.
rlm@2 316 ChibiUsa simply smiled at Hotaru and nodded. No words were
rlm@2 317 necessary, ChibiUsa knew what question was on Hotaru's mind. They
rlm@2 318 entered the room and looked into each other's eyes. The most
rlm@2 319 passionate kiss they ever shared followed. Their tongues danced
rlm@2 320 with each other and explored each other's mouths. Their hands
rlm@2 321 roamed across their bodies, studying the changes the years had
rlm@2 322 brought.
rlm@2 323 Hotaru slipped her hand under ChibiUsa's dress and savoured the
rlm@2 324 feeling of the soft skin against her fingertips. She slowly moved
rlm@2 325 her hands around ChibiUsa's back and began undressing her as
rlm@2 326 ChibiUsa was doing the same. Soon, both were standing in their
rlm@2 327 underwear and stockings.
rlm@2 328 As Hotaru's dress fell on the floor, ChibiUsa went down on her
rlm@2 329 Knees, and began slowly pulling off one of Hotaru's stockings. She
rlm@2 330 would pull the stocking down a bit and kiss the soft skin she
rlm@2 331 freed. Inside herself, Hotaru could feel something warm forming,
rlm@2 332 and with every kiss ChibiUsa planted on her leg the feeling grew
rlm@2 333 stronger. When ChibiUsa finally removed both stockings it was
rlm@2 334 Hotaru's turn. Though Hotaru took a different approach. With her
rlm@2 335 hands she was pulling down the stocking and her tongue travelled
rlm@2 336 along a few inches behind the stocking. ChibiUsa let out a muttered
rlm@2 337 moan as the delicate feeling of Hotaru's tongue against her skin
rlm@2 338 washed through her body.
rlm@2 339 After the stockings were off, Hotaru's bra was next. ChibiUsa
rlm@2 340 unclasped it and let it fall to the floor. She gently cupped one of
rlm@2 341 Hotaru's breasts with her hand and kissed the other's nipple
rlm@2 342 lovingly. She began suckling on the nipple and stroking the other
rlm@2 343 with her thumb. Hotaru's nipples were growing harder every second
rlm@2 344 as ChibiUsa was playing with her breasts. They were already rock
rlm@2 345 hard when ChibiUsa felt two hands encircle her face. Hotaru
rlm@2 346 lovingly brought ChibiUsa's face in front of hers and kissed her
rlm@2 347 passionately while she unclasped her bra.
rlm@2 348 ChibiUsa saw desire in her lover's eyes, as Hotaru lowered her
rlm@2 349 head to have some fun with ChibiUsa's breasts, which were slightly
rlm@2 350 larger than her own. At the same time Hotaru put her hands on
rlm@2 351 ChibiUsa's hips and lay her down on the bed. She took her position
rlm@2 352 beside ChibiUsa and while teasing her nipples with her tongue she
rlm@2 353 slid down ChibiUsa's panties. After the wet panties landed on the
rlm@2 354 floor, Hotaru started planting a trail of kisses from ChibiUsa's
rlm@2 355 breasts downward.
rlm@2 356 The path led from one nipple through a valley to the other and
rlm@2 357 then further downward across ChibiUsa's soft stomach. Hotaru was
rlm@2 358 moving in circles around the navel and finally followed the musky
rlm@2 359 scent to it's origin. Hotaru's lips reached a bush of pink hair and
rlm@2 360 her fingers played a little with the pubic hair while her lips
rlm@2 361 shyly touched the petals of ChibiUsa's sex. ChibiUsa let out a
rlm@2 362 groan and a moan at the same time and Hotaru smiled to herself to
rlm@2 363 her achievement.
rlm@2 364 Determined to draw another moan from ChibiUsa, Hotaru changed her
rlm@2 365 position. She put her knees down on either side of ChibiUsa's head,
rlm@2 366 carefully avoiding her ponytails. Hotaru stretched over ChibiUsa's
rlm@2 367 body and resumed the attack at her pussy.
rlm@2 368 Suddenly, ChibiUsa was encircled with a sweet odour, and she
rlm@2 369 slowly opened her eyes. She was greeted with a sight that
rlm@2 370 immediately shattered all the walls inside her, and she let out a
rlm@2 371 sound that Hotaru could only describe as something between a sigh
rlm@2 372 and a moan. Two pillars were holding Hotaru's crotch mere inches
rlm@2 373 away from ChibiUsa's face. ChibiUsa inhaled the strong scent deep
rlm@2 374 inside and lifted her head to kiss the wet spot on the white
rlm@2 375 panties above her.
rlm@2 376 Hotaru was tasting the sweet juices that ran out of ChibiUsa's
rlm@2 377 pussy when she felt two hands pulling down her panties. When
rlm@2 378 ChibiUsa discarded Hotaru's panties and was engulfed by her
rlm@2 379 Smell, she knew she wouldn't last much longer. The black haired
rlm@2 380 girl felt ChibiUsa's tongue slowly lick her pussy.
rlm@2 381 Hotaru knew ChibiUsa was close to her climax and so was she. Their
rlm@2 382 breathing was shallow and quick. Moans, gasps and sighs were mixed
rlm@2 383 with licking sounds. As if their minds were somehow connected, they
rlm@2 384 inserted a finger into each other simultaniously and it was like
rlm@2 385 floodgates were opened.
rlm@2 386 After the climax passed, the lovers snuggled up to each to catch
rlm@2 387 their breath for the next round.
rlm@2 388
rlm@2 389 ***
rlm@2 390
rlm@2 391 Soft, smiling crimson eyes greeted Hotaru when she woke up. The
rlm@2 392 small amount of light in her room told her that morning has long
rlm@2 393 passed.
rlm@2 394 "Hotaru-chan, wake up," a soft voice began.
rlm@2 395 'Hmph' was the only response the voice got from the girl who
rlm@2 396 pulled the blankets over her head.
rlm@2 397 "Hotaru-chan, I'll give you a kiss if you get up," the soft voice
rlm@2 398 persisted.
rlm@2 399 "Why don't you get back in here and we can continue where we
rlm@2 400 stopped last night."
rlm@2 401 The softness in the voice disappeared as it started anew: "Hotaru,
rlm@2 402 don't you want to say goodbye? I'll be going soon."
rlm@2 403 Crimson eyes met purple ones again when Hotaru removed the blanket
rlm@2 404 from her face. Two hands grabbed the unprepared ChibiUsa as Hotaru
rlm@2 405 pulled her closer to kiss her.
rlm@2 406 "Hotaru, how come you aren't sad?" ChibiUsa asked when they
rlm@2 407 finally broke their kiss.
rlm@2 408 "I am sad. But I know that our love is strong. I believe in our
rlm@2 409 love. The princess, Usagi-chan, taught me to believe in love."
rlm@2 410 Hotaru stated with certainty.
rlm@2 411 After a pause the raven haired asked the question that lingered in
rlm@2 412 her.
rlm@2 413 "ChibiUsa, this is the last time you came back, isn't it?"
rlm@2 414 A 'yes' spoken underneath ChibiUsa's breath was all the answer she
rlm@2 415 got.

rlm@2 419 About half an hour later, a time portal opened in the back yard of
rlm@2 420 the Outers' house.
rlm@2 421 "I love you Tomoe Hotaru, princess of Saturn."
rlm@2 422 "I love you Tsukino Chibi Usagi, princess of the Moon." <Thousand
rlm@2 423 years is not a long time...>
rlm@2 424 A phrase kept repeating itself in ChibiUsa's mind like if she was
rlm@2 425 chanting a mandala. A phrase which held all her hopes, all her
rlm@2 426 dreams, her entire being.
rlm@2 427 <I believe in our love.>
rlm@2 428 And the light filled her.

rlm@2 437 If you haven't noticed I borrowed a verse from Bob Dylan's Shelter
rlm@2 438 from the Storm and various phrases from his songs.
rlm@2 439 Thank you for reading.
