1 My username, Amara | |
2 My e-mail, keriisgo@hotmail.com | |
3 my story, | |
4 | |
5 I have made this story for enjoyment but some may find it offensive. | |
6 Also, I | |
7 don’t own these characters and they belong to Naoko Takeuchi…you know | |
8 the | |
9 rest. | |
10 | |
11 | |
12 “That’s it” Usa smiled evilly. | |
13 “Aww, not again.” Hotaru said exasperated. Usa had just beaten her | |
14 (again) | |
15 at cards. | |
16 “How do you always manage to beat me Usa-Chan?” Hotaru asked. | |
17 “I don’t know, I just can.” Usa said. | |
18 “OW!” Hotaru suddenly shouted out in pain, dropping all her cards. Usa | |
19 moved | |
20 forward to her friend. | |
21 “What is it?” she asked concerned. Hotaru closed her eyes and then | |
22 opened | |
23 them again. | |
24 “Nothing, don’t worry.” Hotaru answered. Usa did worry but could see | |
25 that | |
26 Hotaru didn’t want to talk. | |
27 “I have to go.” Hotaru said and got up. Usa got up too. | |
28 “I’m sorry.” Usa said. Hotaru looked shocked. | |
29 “Why are you apologising?” | |
30 “Well, if I didn’t insist you stay, you wouldn’t have been hurt.” | |
31 “Usa, I am not hurt.” Hotaru smiled at her friend and left the house. | |
32 Hotaru | |
33 ran down the driveway and turned slightly to wave at her friend. Usa | |
34 waved | |
35 back. | |
36 “Why don’t you tell me what’s wrong Hotaru-Chan?” Usa thought to | |
37 herself. | |
38 Usa went inside and looked at the mass of cards that Hotaru had dropped | |
39 in | |
40 her sudden pain. Usa started to pick up the cards but stopped as she | |
41 saw one | |
42 of Hotaru’s schoolbooks. Usa flicked through it and saw something on | |
43 the | |
44 middle page, which should have been blank. | |
45 | |
46 It was in Hotaru’s handwriting and was slightly messy. | |
47 Usa hesitated but read it anyway. | |
48 It said: | |
49 | |
50 I know it is useless to write this down but it is better than keeping | |
51 it | |
52 inside me. | |
53 I have been having terrible seizures again, worse than ever, and they | |
54 always | |
55 follow an incredibly sharp pain that tears through my body. | |
56 | |
57 Usa looked up and remembered Hotaru shouting out in pain. She put two | |
58 and | |
59 two together and knew she left because she was going to have a seizure. | |
60 “HOTARU-CHAN!” Usa cried out as she ran out of the house and down the | |
61 street | |
62 calling Hotaru’s name. She didn’t know where she was going so she just | |
63 let | |
64 her feet lead her. Down alley after alley she ran. She skidded to a | |
65 halt and | |
66 looked down a dead end alley, it was Hotaru! | |
67 “Hotaru-Chan!” Usa cried and ran up to her friend. Hotaru was kneeling, | |
68 breathing heavily. She looked at Usa shocked and cried out as the pain | |
69 grew | |
70 inside her. | |
71 “Help me Odango-Chan!” Hotaru cried. Usa was slightly shocked; Hotaru | |
72 hadn’t | |
73 ever called her that before. She felt her heart beat even harder. | |
74 “How, Hotaru-Chan?! How can I help you?!” Usa cried in despair. | |
75 “I Don’t Know.” Hotaru cried out between breaths. | |
76 Usa took out her ginzuishou and tried to help Hotaru but she was | |
77 resisting | |
78 the power of the ginzuishou somehow. | |
79 “I can’t help you!” Usa cried in complete despair. Hotaru started to | |
80 gain | |
81 control again and between deep breaths she asked | |
82 “How did you know where to find me?” | |
83 “I don’t know, my legs just took me here.” Usa replied. | |
84 “How did you know to come looking for me?” Hotaru asked and Usa looked | |
85 away. | |
86 “Usa?” | |
87 “I am sorry Hotaru, I read that note in the middle of your work book.” | |
88 Usa | |
89 cried. | |
90 “Oh, Please don’t cry, my Odango-Chan.” Hotaru said gently. Usa looked | |
91 up at | |
92 her. | |
93 “Odango-Chan?” Usa whispered. | |
94 “Oh, Usa, I love you!” Hotaru cried, tears now staining both their | |
95 faces. | |
96 Usa just stared in shock but Hotaru thought that Usa was angry and ran | |
97 away | |
98 shouting | |
99 “Gomen Usa, Gomen (sorry).” Hotaru stopped when she reached the park | |
100 and | |
101 noticed that it was the same spot in which she had first met Usa. | |
102 “Gomennasai, Usa, and Domo Arigatou (I’m sorry, Usa, and thank you).” | |
103 Hotaru | |
104 said aloud and then fainted. Usa skidded round the corner just in time | |
105 to | |
106 hear what Hotaru had said. | |
107 “Hotaru-Chan! Don’t say things like that!” She ran forward and | |
108 supported her | |
109 friends head, She noticed how pretty Hotaru was as she saw her black | |
110 hair | |
111 mask her closed eyes, | |
112 “It sounds to much like a goodbye.” Usa looked over her friend and | |
113 noticed | |
114 that she wasn’t breathing, | |
115 “So, it was a good bye.” Usa cried. She leaned over her friend and | |
116 kissed | |
117 her softly on the lips and then again, but deeper, and more passionate. | |
118 “Aishiteru, Hotaru.” Usa cried and kissed her again. Hotaru’s chest | |
119 started | |
120 once again to rise and fall. | |
121 “Hotaru!” Usa cried. | |
122 “YOUR O.K!” | |
123 “Domo Arigatou.” Hotaru said. | |
124 “Iie, Domo Arigatou.” Usa replied and they kissed again, with the love | |
125 of | |
126 futures and pasts, also the present time, which they wished could last | |
127 forever. | |
128 | |
129 Later, Hotaru and Usa were at Hotaru’s house; Hotaru’s Mama’s and Papa | |
130 were | |
131 out. | |
132 “They won’t be back until tomorrow evening. So, we have all tonight and | |
133 tomorrow alone.” Hotaru said slyly. Usa smiled but then became serious. | |
134 “Are you sure you are O.K?” She asked looking at Hotaru. Hotaru avoided | |
135 her | |
136 eyes and said | |
137 “Of course Usa, I am always fine around you. Would you like something | |
138 to | |
139 eat? It is getting to be about 9:00 (pm).” Usa sensed that her friend | |
140 was | |
141 lying but didn’t say anymore. | |
142 “Yeah! I am sooo hungry.” Usa replied. Hotaru tilted her head to one | |
143 side | |
144 and smiled at her friend. | |
145 “I will make dinner, you can go and watch T.V.” Hotaru said. | |
146 “Oh, can’t I help?” Asked Usa enthusiastically. Hotaru knew she only | |
147 wanted | |
148 to help but to put it bluntly; Usa didn’t mix well with the kitchen. | |
149 “That’s O.K Usa; I can do it.” Hotaru said. Usa looked sad but smiled | |
150 and | |
151 turned around, and then walked out. | |
152 Hotaru cooked a feast, A roast dinner that was fit for a king. Chicken, | |
153 potatoes, parsnips, carrots and all sorts of side dishes. | |
154 | |
155 She called Usa and as she came in her eyes widened. | |
156 “You made all this?!” Usa asked in disbelief. | |
157 “Yes.” Hotaru said quietly and indicated to a chair. Usa sat down and | |
158 started. Hotaru didn’t eat much but Usa didn’t notice, Hotaru smiled as | |
159 Usa | |
160 ate her weight in food. | |
161 “MMMMMMM” Usa muffled through her last mouthful. | |
162 “Where did you learn to cook like that?” | |
163 “I often watch Setsuna-Mama when she cooks and she helps me to cook | |
164 sometimes too.” Hotaru smiled at the awestruck look on Usa’s face. | |
165 “Wow!” Hotaru said | |
166 “What?” | |
167 “It’s ten o’clock!” | |
168 “So?” | |
169 “It’s time for bed…” Hotaru finished and was wearing a sly and playful | |
170 smile. | |
171 “Oh, O.K” Usa said. | |
172 “You go ahead while I clean up.” Hotaru said. | |
173 “O.K then, I’ll be waiting…” And with that Usa left the kitchen and | |
174 went to | |
175 Hotaru’s room. Hotaru finished clearing up and went upstairs. She got | |
176 half | |
177 way up the stairs when she had to stop. She backed up a few paces | |
178 holding | |
179 her chest in pain. She gasped for air and tried to call for Usa’s help | |
180 but | |
181 nothing came out. She tried to get to her room but as soon as she got | |
182 her | |
183 door she felt as if she was going to die of pain. She fell forwards | |
184 into the | |
185 door, it opened and Hotaru fell into her room. | |
186 “Hotaru-Chan!” Usa cried in shock. | |
187 “Why does this keep happening?!” Usa asked. | |
188 “I don’t know!” Hotaru cried out in pain. | |
189 “Please Usa, Call Michiru-Mama and Haruka-Papa and Setsuna-Mama!” | |
190 Hotaru | |
191 cried between breaths. | |
192 “I don’t know their number.” Usa said helplessly. | |
193 “On the dresser by the phone.” Hotaru managed before her attack got | |
194 even | |
195 worse, hardly allowing her to breath. | |
196 “I can’t leave you.” Usa cried. | |
197 “PLEASE!” Hotaru screamed in pain as it got worse and worse. Usa ran | |
198 downstairs and picked up the phone, she was very scared but her hand | |
199 was | |
200 still steady as she dialled the number on the pink note. | |
201 “Hello?” It was Michiru. | |
202 “MICHIRU!” | |
203 “Usa?! What’s wrong?!” | |
204 “It’s Hotaru! She’s having a really bad fit! Please help us!” | |
205 “Hold on just a while longer, go to her, we will be there shortly | |
206 thanks to | |
207 Setsuna.” | |
208 “HURRY!” | |
209 Usa hung up and sprinted upstairs as fast as she could. | |
210 “HOTARU-CHAN! THEY ARE COMEING! HOLD ON!” Usa shouted and burst into | |
211 her | |
212 room, Hotaru was on her hands and knees. | |
213 “Usa-Chan…” Hotaru said and then everything around her went black. | |
214 “HOTARU-CHAN?!” Usa cried in complete despair. | |
215 “We’re here!” Setsuna said and they burst into the room, they saw Usa | |
216 lying | |
217 there holding the unconscious form of Hotaru. | |
218 “Let go, Usa.” Setsuna said and Usa did as she was told, Haruka picked | |
219 Hotaru up and went to lie her on the bed but Hotaru’s body began to | |
220 glow and | |
221 powered up, Haruka was thrown backwards by the force of Hotaru’s light. | |
222 Michiru ran to Haruka’s side. Setsuna transformed into Sailor Pluto | |
223 “Pluto | |
224 planet power, make up!” and grabbed Usa by the back, She held her | |
225 talisman | |
226 at arms length and it glowed. She pushed Usa back to Michiru and Haruka | |
227 who | |
228 held her tight. Setsuna’s Talisman set up a shied around them just as | |
229 Hotaru’s Power exploded and everything in the room was demolished, | |
230 except | |
231 what was in the shield. | |
232 “What’s happening?” Usa cried. Setsuna ignored the question from Usa | |
233 and | |
234 Shouted at the outers. | |
235 “TRANSFORM!” | |
236 “Uranus planet power, make up!” | |
237 “Neptune planet power, make up!” | |
238 They transformed and so did Usa. | |
239 The four were unable to move the shield and didn’t have the power to | |
240 hold | |
241 the shield as well as prepare the sailor teleport and Setsuna couldn’t | |
242 hold | |
243 the shield as well as teleport them so they were stuck. | |
244 “We can’t keep this up forever!” Uranus exclaimed. | |
245 “What is happening to her?” Neptune asked Pluto. | |
246 “I don’t know.” Pluto said solemnly. The power emanating from Hotaru | |
247 suddenly grew massively and the four senshi cried out in pain as they | |
248 tried | |
249 to hold the barrier. In a bright flash of light, Hotaru transformed | |
250 into | |
251 Sailor Saturn, without her transformation stick and without saying | |
252 ‘Saturn | |
253 planet power, Make up!’ | |
254 The four other senshi were completely confused. | |
255 “We can’t just stand here and let her destroy us!” Uranus shouted. | |
256 “But what can we do?! She is our daughter!” Setsuna cried out in pain | |
257 as | |
258 another power surge hit the shield. | |
259 “She wouldn’t want us to be destroyed, even if that meant her own | |
260 demise.” | |
261 Neptune said quietly, but even though it was quiet, everyone heard. | |
262 Silent | |
263 tears fell down Usa’s face but she knew that Michiru was right. | |
264 “O.K. Ready, and remember, we don’t want to destroy her, just knock her | |
265 so | |
266 she can’t use her powers.” Uranus said. | |
267 “O.K!” came the reply from the other three senshi. All at once they | |
268 broke | |
269 the shield and fired their attacks. All four attacks went forward and | |
270 just | |
271 as they were about to hit Sailor Saturn, they were all dispersed by her | |
272 power. The same surge of power that destroyed the attacks was about to | |
273 destroy the senshi when… | |
274 “MOON CRYSTAL POWER!!” Sailor moon arrived and set up a new shield to | |
275 protect the senshi. The shield was put up just in time as the surge | |
276 hit and | |
277 Sailor moon was forced back. | |
278 “Usa! I know there is something special between you and Hotaru!” Sailor | |
279 moon | |
280 cried. | |
281 The three outers were shocked. | |
282 “You can use your love to get through to her!” Sailor moon said and was | |
283 forced back a few more steps as another surge hit her shield. | |
284 “How can we help?” The three outers asked. | |
285 “You are to drained to help, any further fighting may cause you more | |
286 harm | |
287 than good, I can keep up this barrier on my own for now, but Usa, | |
288 please | |
289 hurry. Usa nodded and sat down. She closed her eyes and concentrated on | |
290 Hotaru. She heard Hotaru screaming, arguing with someone or something | |
291 inside | |
292 her head. | |
293 “GET OUT AND LEAVE THEM ALONE!” Hotaru cried. | |
294 “You don’t command me, I command you, and you will obey, you have no | |
295 choice.” Said a creepy, old voice. | |
296 “You can no longer inhabit me if I am dead, and if that is the only way | |
297 then | |
298 so be it!” Hotaru said boldly and at that point Usa was forced out. | |
299 Back in | |
300 the real world: | |
301 “She’s getting stronger! I can’t hold it back!” Sailor moon had tears | |
302 rolling down her cheeks from the pain. | |
303 “Usa? What happened? Why is her power growing?” Sailor moon asked | |
304 worriedly. | |
305 “She was arguing with someone, I don’t know who, She said… She said…” | |
306 Usa | |
307 burst out crying and Michiru hugged her to comfort her. | |
308 “What did Hotaru say?” | |
309 “She said if the only way to get rid of that thing and save us was to | |
310 kill | |
311 herself then… she said she would do it, Oh Michiru! She’s going to | |
312 kill | |
313 herself!” Usa buried her face in Michiru’s stomach and cried. Michiru | |
314 rubbed | |
315 Usa’s back reassuringly. Sailor moon turned round to look at Usa and | |
316 was | |
317 caught off guard by a power surge. She screamed in pain as a black | |
318 lightning | |
319 whipped around her. | |
320 Pluto instantly stood up to reinitiate her shield and try to help | |
321 sailor | |
322 moon. Sailor moon looked down and saw what Pluto was trying to do. She | |
323 shouted to Pluto not to and Pluto was shocked, therefore she stopped. | |
324 Sailor | |
325 moon screamed again as she was entangled in the lightning and it | |
326 shocked her | |
327 harshly. Pluto had got over her temporary shock and continued to try to | |
328 activate her talisman, but she was too weak and it wouldn’t activate, | |
329 neither would the other outers so they were all helpless. | |
330 “Mama!!” Usa cried out to see her past mother in so much pain. She ran | |
331 towards Sailor Moon but Sailor Moon held out her hand to stop her. | |
332 “Don’t you dare get yourself hurt Usa!” Sailor moon said sternly. The | |
333 silver | |
334 crystal flickered and went blank. Sailor Moon’s eyes seemed to do the | |
335 same. | |
336 “MAMA!! NO!!” Usa cried out as she watched a silent tear roll down | |
337 Usagi’s | |
338 cheek. | |
339 Sailor Saturn seemed to stir from the powerful state she had been in. | |
340 She | |
341 called forth the Silence Glaive and stared at Usa until her feet softly | |
342 touched the floor. Her eyes changed, they were no longer empty and | |
343 cold, now | |
344 they were filled with love and guilt. | |
345 “I am sorry Usa, I had no control.” Sailor Saturn said as she let Usagi | |
346 down | |
347 from the lightning. | |
348 “Wait! She is still alive!” Sailor Saturn exclaimed. Sailor Saturn ran | |
349 forward and pressed her hand on Usagi’s heart, She poured her Ki into | |
350 Usagi | |
351 and Usagi’s eyes flicked open. | |
352 “Thank you.” Usagi said. | |
353 “Do not thank me, Sailor Moon, It is I who needs to thank you for | |
354 saving | |
355 them from my power.” Sailor Saturn answered. | |
356 “O.K Sailor Saturn, You can stop now, I am healed.” Usagi said. | |
357 “Don’t even try to lie to me, I can feel that you are still really low | |
358 on | |
359 energy.” Sailor Saturn said and poured even more of her energy into | |
360 Usagi’s | |
361 body, Usagi’s Broach began to glow and she transformed into Sailor | |
362 Moon. | |
363 Sailor Saturn removed her hand. | |
364 “There, that’s better.” Sailor Saturn said. | |
365 “Thank you.” Sailor Moon said again. Sailor Saturn smiled and turned to | |
366 face | |
367 the outers and Usa. | |
368 “I must also return your energy.” Sailor Saturn said. She held her | |
369 hands out | |
370 in front of her and made a ball of her energy. She smiled and the | |
371 energy | |
372 started to spiral around the room and restored everything, while | |
373 returning | |
374 the others power to normal. Sailor Saturn changed back into Hotaru. | |
375 “Hotaru! Please stop!” Usa cried. | |
376 “I can’t.” Hotaru said solemnly. | |
377 “Why on earth not?!” Usa asked. | |
378 “Because if I stop then I will live, and if I live then I will end up | |
379 killing you all.” | |
380 Usa started to cry all over again, she ran forward and hugged Hotaru, | |
381 She | |
382 looked up at the slightly taller girl and said | |
383 “Please, Hotaru, if you die, then I will have to die with you, | |
384 Aishiteru.” | |
385 Hotaru was shocked but then recovered herself and said | |
386 “Aishiteru Usa. But this is for me alone to do, I will be re-born and | |
387 therefore we will meet again. I am sorry Usa.” | |
388 “What are you sorry for?” Usa asked. | |
389 “For this.” Hotaru said and pushed Usa back to the outers and Sailor | |
390 Moon. | |
391 “Hotaru! What are you doing?!” Hotaru ignored the question. She | |
392 transformed | |
393 once again into Sailor Saturn and called forth the Silence Glaive. | |
394 “DEATH REBORN REVOLUTION!” She shouted, the others were so shocked and | |
395 scared to hear her signature move. They thought she was going to kill | |
396 the | |
397 world with her, but they were wrong. Ribbons shot out from her Silence | |
398 Glaive first and made a bubble around her, it was containing her power. | |
399 The | |
400 ribbons stopped coming forth and the light began to emanate from her | |
401 Silence | |
402 Glaive. The glow got brighter until Usa was the only one still able to | |
403 see | |
404 Hotaru. Hotaru gave a weak smile to Usa. | |
405 But just at that moment her eyes started to change again. She spoke in | |
406 a | |
407 voice that wasn’t her own. | |
408 “Hotaru! Do you think that you will really keep yours and my power | |
409 cooped up | |
410 in this pathetic shield??” The words came from her mouth but she wasn’t | |
411 saying it. Everyone was shocked to hear a voice and then the light | |
412 became | |
413 stronger. | |
414 “We should set up the shield, just in case.” Sailor Pluto said. | |
415 “O.K” the others agreed. Usa saw the silhouette of Sailor Saturn, She | |
416 fell | |
417 to the ground in pain and shouted out as her shield was destroyed by | |
418 the | |
419 power coming from her own body. The power hit the shield with full | |
420 force and | |
421 then died down a little. The 3 outers and Usagi held the shield but Usa | |
422 was | |
423 crying to see Hotaru in so much pain. She made up her mind in a split | |
424 second | |
425 and stopped crying, she ran out of the shield, to the absolute despair | |
426 of | |
427 the others but there was nothing they could do except watch. Usa | |
428 struggled | |
429 forward into the light and fell over something on the floor. She looked | |
430 behind her and realised it was Hotaru! | |
431 “HOTARU! Are you O.K? What a stupid question, of course your not O.K.” | |
432 Usa | |
433 was in hysterics and crying over Hotaru. | |
434 “Please wake up Hotaru-Chan!” Usa pleaded. Hotaru’s eyelids flickered | |
435 but | |
436 still didn’t open. | |
437 “Hotaru?” Usa asked worriedly. Hotaru’s head fell to one side but Usa | |
438 wasn’t | |
439 that worried because she heard Hotaru inhale. Hotaru didn’t move her | |
440 face | |
441 from her sideward position but still said | |
442 “Usa-Chan, thank you for believing in me. But we have to get out of | |
443 here.” | |
444 “Why?” Usa asked. Hotaru looked up. | |
445 “That power, it is a type of spirit, I can’t keep it under control. I | |
446 am | |
447 sorry Usa, I tried to stop it but it overpowered me, but I promise…” | |
448 Hotaru | |
449 was stopped as Usa put her finger on Hotaru’s lips. Hotaru pushed it | |
450 away | |
451 and continued. | |
452 “I promise, I won’t let any harm come to you Usa.” Hotaru finished and | |
453 smiled up at Usa. But just at that moment she saw a powerful blast | |
454 heading | |
455 their way and in a split second she got up and threw Usa into the | |
456 shield. | |
457 “HOTARU!!” Usa cried as she looked up. She saw Hotaru being blasted and | |
458 in | |
459 her weak form she evolved into Sailor Saturn and tried to withstand it | |
460 using | |
461 the Silence Wall. It didn’t work and her Silence Glaive was smashed to | |
462 pieces, she tried to stand against the attack for as long as she could… | |
463 | |
464 | |
465 | |
466 But she was overpowered and the all to familiar black lightning that | |
467 nearly | |
468 killed Sailor Moon whipped around Sailor Saturn. She was electrocuted | |
469 as it | |
470 concentrated on her… | |
471 | |
472 | |
473 She thought of all the good times she had shared with Chibi-Usa… | |
474 | |
475 | |
476 | |
477 They seemed so long ago… | |
478 “Usa… I am so…Sorry…” Hotaru cried and fell to the floor motionless. | |
479 But as | |
480 she had said, when she died, the spirit died with her… | |
481 All things seemed to be undone as a light spread from the now unmoving | |
482 Sailor Saturn. She turned back to Hotaru and floated for a few seconds | |
483 before hitting the floor and raising dust. The light faded and the | |
484 Sailor | |
485 Soldiers shield was let down. | |
486 Usa ran forward to her friend and hugged her in a tight embrace; all | |
487 the | |
488 lamps in Hotaru’s now restored room lit and a warm glow spread over | |
489 them | |
490 all. | |
491 “Lets leave Usa alone.” Michiru said tenderly. She left quietly and the | |
492 others followed suit. Setsuna didn’t want to leave and gave a sad look | |
493 at | |
494 Usa and her ‘daughter’ before shutting the door. Usa sat next to | |
495 Hotaru’s | |
496 body and held her hand. | |
497 “Wake up! Don’t you dare be dead! I forbid it as the princess of the | |
498 Future | |
499 Crystal Tokyo!” Usa was crying. She watched as the lamps glow | |
500 illuminated | |
501 Hotaru’s face and noticed something, not for the first time, | |
502 <She is so pretty, why did she do it?> | |
503 “Hotaru, why? I can’t live without you… Please, don’t leave me all | |
504 alone!” | |
505 Usa cried. | |
506 “Your not alone.” Usa was shocked and looked at Hotaru but Hotaru was | |
507 still | |
508 quite motionless. She looked up and saw an image of Sailor Saturn. | |
509 “Oh, Hotaru.” Usa said quietly. | |
510 “Don’t worry, you have lots of friends, my Odango-Chan. And please | |
511 forgive | |
512 me.” | |
513 “For what?” Usa asked. | |
514 “Hotaru, my human form, is still alive…” | |
515 “SHE IS?!” Usa asked shocked and shook Hotaru but stopped as soon as | |
516 she saw | |
517 that she was causing the Sailor Saturn pain. Usa tore her eyes from | |
518 Hotaru | |
519 and met Sailor Saturn’s eyes. They were Hotaru’s, but they only held | |
520 pain. | |
521 “Yes, but she shouldn’t be, I am only still here because she is, and | |
522 she is | |
523 only here because you are. I am sorry Usa, I can’t allow you to do | |
524 anything | |
525 to get in the way.” And with that Usa was teleported downstairs and | |
526 appeared | |
527 in front of the others. They stared. | |
528 “What happened?” Asked Michiru. | |
529 “Hotaru!” Was the best Usa could manage and ran upstairs, closely | |
530 followed | |
531 by the others. She hesitated outside the door because she felt Sailor | |
532 Saturn’s power building. She opened the door and the four burst in. | |
533 They | |
534 just stared at the sight that met their eyes: | |
535 Hotaru was on her feet and so was the image of Sailor Saturn. They each | |
536 had | |
537 a hand touched together, their right hands entwined and as Hotaru faded | |
538 slightly, the image of Sailor Saturn got more solid until they were | |
539 both | |
540 solid. All the others could do was watch. | |
541 “I love you, Usa.” Hotaru said and Sailor Saturn called forth her | |
542 Silence | |
543 Glaive and swung it out in a circular motion, ending at her side. For a | |
544 few | |
545 tense moments nothing happened, but then Hotaru fell to her knees | |
546 clutching | |
547 her chest. She was not having a seizure, Usa knew that much, she was in | |
548 pain. Usa ran forward and removed Hotaru’s hand from her chest. Usa saw | |
549 her | |
550 hand covered in blood and turned to face Sailor Saturn. | |
551 “You killed her!” Usa yelled. | |
552 “No, I am only her, I am her spirit and so am controlled by her, she | |
553 killed | |
554 herself, but needed someone to actually strike her down, she knew you | |
555 wouldn’t allow anyone else, so I obliged. | |
556 “YOU AREN’T SAILOR SATURN!!” Usa shouted, causing the others to jump to | |
557 their senses. Sailor Saturn smirked. | |
558 “True, but she really did make the decision. And I have to admit, I am | |
559 glad | |
560 to go down with her, because now I can make her after-life hell!” | |
561 Sailor | |
562 Saturn turned into smoke and was absorbed by Hotaru. Usa stared and | |
563 then | |
564 turned back to Hotaru. | |
565 “Please don’t leave me alone.” Usa said in a barely hear-able whisper. | |
566 “I have to.” Hotaru said and a silent tear ran down her pale cheek. She | |
567 turned her head and she breathed in Usa’s sweet smell. | |
568 But just as she lost her heartbeat she realised… | |
569 Usa, She is my reason to live. That is why the spirit was trapped in | |
570 me! I | |
571 wanted to die; I had no reason to live! But now I can’t die! | |
572 “Usa…” Hotaru whispered. | |
573 “I don’t want to die!” | |
574 “Oh, Hotaru!” Usa cried and hugged her friend. Hotaru’s eyes closed and | |
575 all | |
576 went black; nothing moved but then, out of this nothing; there was | |
577 light… | |
578 “Usa?” Hotaru asked. She opened her misty eyes and noticed she was in | |
579 her | |
580 bed. She also saw a new lamp, with a few words painted on, she moved | |
581 forward, ignoring the pain from her chest and saw it was in Usa’s | |
582 writing. | |
583 It read: | |
584 ‘Hotaru and Usa together forever.’ | |
585 Hotaru started to get up and realised just how much pain she was in. | |
586 She | |
587 looked down and saw a blood-soaked bandage. She moved along the wall | |
588 for | |
589 support until she reached the doorway. She quietly opened the door and | |
590 walked quicker down the hall, wanting to see Usa. She went down the | |
591 stairs | |
592 two at a time but made no sound at all. She turned the corner and put | |
593 her | |
594 ear to the living-room door: | |
595 Haruka: She is really weak, she may not pull through. | |
596 Usa: Don’t say such things! She is going to be fine! She has to be! | |
597 Michiru: Oh, Usa, you know that the wound was meant to kill her don’t | |
598 you? | |
599 She knew it was strong enough. | |
600 Setsuna: But she wanted to die then, I think the fact that she wants to | |
601 live | |
602 will make a difference. But not even I can see the outcome of this. | |
603 Usa: I know she will be O.K! She has to be! | |
604 | |
605 Hotaru heard Usa running to the door and tried to move back but still | |
606 collided with Usa as she ran at high speed from the room. | |
607 “HOTARU!!” Usa exclaimed. | |
608 “Oww, Hi.” Hotaru rubbed her chest. The others had heard and come | |
609 running | |
610 out to see what had happened. | |
611 “Hotaru?!” They all stared. | |
612 “Yes?” Hotaru asked innocently, laughing at their awestruck faces. | |
613 “Oh, It’s so nice to hear you laugh again, we have missed it.” Michiru | |
614 smiled. | |
615 “Missed it? How long have I been there?” Hotaru asked. | |
616 “About 3 weeks.” Setsuna finally said after a long silence. | |
617 “Wow, thank you for looking after me you guys.” Hotaru said. | |
618 | |
619 (A/N: I am now referring to Chibi-Usa as Usagi, seeing as they are both | |
620 about 20 now.) Hotaru and Usagi were walking through the park. | |
621 “This is the exact spot we met, Usa.” Hotaru said and got down on one | |
622 knee, | |
623 “Usagi, Princess of the Future Crystal Tokyo…will you marry me?” Hotaru | |
624 asked and showed Usagi a ring with their Sailor Soldier Symbols | |
625 imprinted | |
626 and entwined with each other, Hotaru’s side was a purple and Usagi’s | |
627 was a | |
628 golden-white. | |
629 “Oh, Hotaru! Of course I will marry you!” Usagi cried. | |
630 | |
631 And they walked down the road, hand in hand, nothing ever to tear them | |
632 apart | |
633 again. |
