     1.5 +This story is the third and final part of the trilogy Hotaru's 
     1.6 +pain. Not so sad as parts 1 & 2. Hotaru is about 16 years old here.

    1.13 + <Two years... Two years since she left...>
    1.14 + "Tomoe Hotaru!" The sharp voice emanating from the teacher knocked 
    1.15 +the black haired girl out of her thoughts.
    1.16 + "Tomoe Hotaru, do you know the answer?"
    1.17 + Hotaru looked around the class, everybody was looking at her and 
    1.18 +the teacher was waiting for an answer. The moment somebody 
    1.19 +whispered the right answer, the teacher already got tired of 
    1.20 +waiting.
    1.21 + "Hotaru, you have been daydreaming again. I will have to report 
    1.22 +you to your class teacher. Now pay attention to the rest of the 
    1.23 +lesson."
    1.24 +
    1.25 +   ***
    1.26 +
    1.27 + Hotaru entered the kitchen and put her schoolbag down next to the 
    1.28 +table. Setsuna was making lunch and Haruka sat at the dinner table.
    1.29 + "Was there any mail for me?" Hotaru asked, looking at Setsuna. The 
    1.30 +tall woman was making lunch and completely ignored the younger girl 
    1.31 +behind her back. The moment of silence was only to be broken by 
    1.32 +Haruka's voice.
    1.33 + "Sorry, nothing for you Hotaru-chan."
    1.34 + Ever since ChibiUsa left two years ago Setsuna brought Hotaru 
    1.35 +letters from the princess every now and then. Setsuna broke almost 
    1.36 +every taboo by doing this. She couldn't help it when ChibiUsa 
    1.37 +looked at her with pleading eyes in Crystal Tokyo and Hotaru with 
    1.38 +much the same eyes in the 20th century. Setsuna could only bring 
    1.39 +over a letter every few months and ChibiUsa wasn't allowed to write 
    1.40 +anything about the future. This was why their letters were very 
    1.41 +intense and emotional and Hotaru liked it that way. Although she 
    1.42 +was wondering about her future self and about Crystal Tokyo, she 
    1.43 +was grateful that she could still be in contact with ChibiUsa. But 
    1.44 +in the past four months no letter came from the princess.
    1.45 + Although she tried to ignore the little girl, Setsuna's heart was 
    1.46 +breaking at the thought that she couldn't bring Hotaru any messages 
    1.47 +from ChibiUsa this time.
    1.48 +
    1.49 +
    1.50 + In her dark room Hotaru sat down on the bed and her mind drifted 
    1.51 +away from her surroundings.
    1.52 + <Why won't she write? Is ChibiUsa hurt? Or maybe even sick? Maybe 
    1.53 +she doesn't love me anymore? Maybe she never loved me... No! She 
    1.54 +said she loves me. Nobody forced her to say that!>
    1.55 + Hotaru rolled over on her bed and opened a drawer on her night 
    1.56 +table. She pulled out a bunch of letters and turned on a lamp 
    1.57 +beside her bed.
    1.58 + She began reading the old love letters when her dark, purple eyes 
    1.59 +spotted something she hadn't noticed before. Inside the envelope of 
    1.60 +the last letter were a few words written:
    1.61 +
    1.62 +		'ps: i have a suprize for u.'
    1.63 +
    1.64 +This was definitely written by ChibiUsa. It was her handwriting and 
    1.65 +even Neo Queen Serenity couldn't make that many errors. 
    1.66 +
    1.67 +
    1.68 + The rest of the day was quiet at the house where the Outer Senshi 
    1.69 +lived. Haruka and Michiru rented a romantic movie which they 
    1.70 +watched in their bedroom. Setsuna was calculating some time 
    1.71 +anomalies on her computer and Hotaru was thinking about the note 
    1.72 +she found in the envelope.
    1.73 +
    1.74 +
    1.75 + The raven haired girl woke up with an unusual feeling the next 
    1.76 +morning. Something is going to happen. Something important.
    1.77 + "What is it, Hotaru-chan?" Michiru asked while Hotaru was silently 
    1.78 +eating her breakfast.
    1.79 + "Nothing, Michiru-mama."
    1.80 + "Come on, I can see something is wrong, sweetie."
    1.81 + "It's nothing really. It's just this strange feeling."
    1.82 + At this point Haruka and Setsuna became interested too.
    1.83 + "A new enemy?" Haruka asked.
    1.84 + "No, no. Nothing like that. I just have this strange feeling 
    1.85 +something important is going to happen to me..."
    1.86 + Suddenly the sound of a horn from a car thundered in front of the 
    1.87 +house.
    1.88 +
    1.89 +   ***
    1.90 +
    1.91 + "What do you think she's going to say, Usagi-chan?"
    1.92 + The sound of Usagi's laughter chimed throughout the car.
    1.93 + "What is it, got cold feet?"
    1.94 + "No!"
    1.95 + "Are you ready?" Mamoru asked.
    1.96 + "Wait a minute." The girl sitting in the back of the car got out 
    1.97 +and took a deep breath. She was very obviously nervous.
    1.98 + "Okay, I'm ready."
    1.99 +
   1.100 +   ***
   1.101 +
   1.102 + The three young women and the girl looked at each other at the 
   1.103 +sound of the horn and jointly got up. Hotaru's feeling grew 
   1.104 +stronger the closer she came to the front door. She got nervous 
   1.105 +when she reached for the doorknob. Feelings of fear and anger came 
   1.106 +up. Anger because of fear. She's a senshi. She shouldn't be afraid. 
   1.107 +Her hand slowly - painfully slowly - pushed the door open.
   1.108 +
   1.109 +   ***
   1.110 +
   1.111 + The girl standing next to Mamoru's car was getting more nervous 
   1.112 +with each second that passed. She was standing on the sidewalk, 
   1.113 +looking at the door of the house in front of her. She looked at 
   1.114 +Usagi and Mamoru, looking for reassurance and found two supporting 
   1.115 +loving smiles.
   1.116 + Then, the door slowly began to open.
   1.117 +
   1.118 +   ***
   1.119 +
   1.120 + When Hotaru finally opened the door she saw Mamoru's car and a 
   1.121 +girl standing beside it. Hotaru could hardly believe her eyes. The 
   1.122 +girl looked about her age, her hair was pink and put up in two 
   1.123 +pointy odangos. Her ponytails reached her knees but were a bit 
   1.124 +puffy at their base. She was slim, her bust was not too big and 
   1.125 +surely not too small. The girl's beauty hypnotized Hotaru.
   1.126 + The girl was looking at Hotaru with a nervous smile on her face. 
   1.127 +She was standing perfectly still, like a statue. Usagi's head 
   1.128 +popped out of Mamoru's car and she gave the girl a little push. The 
   1.129 +girl made a step forward, then another, then began running towards 
   1.130 +Hotaru.
   1.131 + "Hotaru-chan!" A familiar squeak came from the girl's mouth and 
   1.132 +tears started filling her crimson eyes.
   1.133 + "Chi... bi... u... sa...?"
   1.134 + The girl reached Hotaru, threw her arms around her and began 
   1.135 +crying on her shoulder.
   1.136 +
   1.137 +   ***
   1.138 +
   1.139 + "You got so big..."
   1.140 + "A few hundred years passed in my time since I last saw you."
   1.141 + Silence followed for a moment.
   1.142 + "You are beautiful ChibiUsa-chan." Another moment of silence 
   1.143 +passed as they were staring deeply into each other's eyes. Hotaru 
   1.144 +leaned forward and gently and softly kissed ChibiUsa.
   1.145 + "Why did you come back?"
   1.146 + "Because of you. – I came to ask you out on our first official 
   1.147 +date."
   1.148 + "Wha-?" Hotaru wasn't able to finish the word as ChibiUsa pressed 
   1.149 +her lips on Hotaru's.
   1.150 + "Don't you want to go out on a date with me, Taru-chan?" ChibiUsa 
   1.151 +asked mischievously, already seeing the sparks of joy in her 
   1.152 +lover's eyes.
   1.153 + "Oh, ChibiUsa-chan! I love you so much!" Hotaru squealed and 
   1.154 +hugged ChibiUsa.
   1.155 + "Okay, listen. We both go to the shopping center tomorrow and buy 
   1.156 +a nice outfit for our date. You go with your parents and I go with 
   1.157 +the other girls. And we're not supposed to see what we bought until 
   1.158 +tomorrow evening. 'Kay?" Hotaru was amazed.
   1.159 + "How long did you plan this evening Chibi-chan?"
   1.160 + "Oh, just the last one hundred years," she said, causing laughter 
   1.161 +to fill Hotaru's room.
   1.162 +
   1.163 +   ***
   1.164 +
   1.165 + "Haruka-papa! Do I look sexy in this?" Hotaru called across the 
   1.166 +store where Haruka and Setsuna were standing. Both looked somewhat 
   1.167 +sad seeing their daughter picking out dresses for her first date.
   1.168 + "Come on, sweetie. Let's find something that shows your long legs 
   1.169 +off!" The two heard Michiru say enthusiastically in the distance.
   1.170 + "We're losing her," Haruka commentated on the situation.
   1.171 + "Yeah. I know."
   1.172 + "Michiru doesn't seem to mind."
   1.173 + "She compensates for it by playing dress-up with our daughter." 
   1.174 +Haruka looked at Setsuna strangely. "What?! Why are you looking at 
   1.175 +me like that? Being the keeper of the gates of time for a couple of 
   1.176 +centuries gets boring from time to time!"
   1.177 + "Errrr... okay. Oh, look! There's ChibiUsa-chan with the other 
   1.178 +girls!"
   1.179 +
   1.180 + "Oh no, spies! Hide the dress!" ChibiUsa exclaimed when she saw 
   1.181 +the two women approaching.
   1.182 + "Don't worry Small Lady. We won't tell anything."
   1.183 + "Okay, then help me. Haruka-san, do I look sexy in this?"
   1.184 + 
   1.185 +   ***
   1.186 +
   1.187 + For Hotaru this was the happiest day in her life. In a few minutes 
   1.188 +she would go out on her first date. On a date with the person she 
   1.189 +loved more than anything else in the universe. Two years ago she 
   1.190 +had buried the thought of seeing ChibiUsa sooner than in about a 
   1.191 +thousand years, but now she's here. Here, in the guest room – the 
   1.192 +room next to Hotaru's - getting ready for their date. Though 
   1.193 +something was still wrong – Hotaru could feel it.
   1.194 + Suddenly a scratch was heard from the door. This was Diana's sign 
   1.195 +that ChibiUsa is about to come out of her room. Hotaru looked one 
   1.196 +last time in the mirror, got up from her chair and turned around. 
   1.197 +She was facing her parents now.
   1.198 + "How do I look?"
   1.199 + "Pretty."
   1.200 + "Adorable."
   1.201 + "Sexy."
   1.202 + She smiled nervously and walked towards the door. She opened it 
   1.203 +and stepped into the hallway. The hall was filled with people. 
   1.204 +Usagi and her friends were there – they were helping ChibiUsa with 
   1.205 +her make-up and dress. Even Hotaru's parents stepped out in the 
   1.206 +hallway.
   1.207 +
   1.208 +   Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there
   1.209 +   With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
   1.210 +   She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
   1.211 +    "Come in," she said "I'll give you
   1.212 +    Shelter from the storm"
   1.213 +
   1.214 +Hotaru wrote those words down in her diary a long time ago – 
   1.215 +actually in another lifetime. She heard them in a song on the radio 
   1.216 +some days after she first met ChibiUsa. They fit so well then and 
   1.217 +they fit so well now.
   1.218 +
   1.219 +   ***
   1.220 +
   1.221 + The first stars were already appearing on the evening sky as the 
   1.222 +lovers walked into a restaurant. It was the restaurant which Haruka 
   1.223 +and Michiru often visited.
   1.224 + Haruka called the restaurant earlier to make sure the girls would 
   1.225 +be treated accordingly and that she would later settle the bill. 
   1.226 +The girls were led to a table for two and ChibiUsa ordered a bottle 
   1.227 +of champagne.
   1.228 + "Champagne, ChibiUsa-chan? Why did you order champagne?" ChibiUsa 
   1.229 +just shrugged her shoulders.
   1.230 + "I don't know. It's a special occasion, isn't it Taru-chan?"
   1.231 + Hotaru smiled. "Yes it is,"
   1.232 + Both were enjoying the tickling of the champagne in their mouths 
   1.233 +and the tickling of love in their stomachs. They both remained 
   1.234 +silent for a couple of minutes, studying the lines of their faces, 
   1.235 +exploring the changes of the years that passed. The purple and 
   1.236 +crimson eyes met and lost themselves in the depths. They were 
   1.237 +holding hands again, just like a long time ago. But this time was 
   1.238 +different. A long time ago they hadn't confessed their love to each 
   1.239 +other yet.
   1.240 + Evening turned into night, the crowd in the restaurant thinned 
   1.241 +down.
   1.242 + "Taru-chan, do you remember the poem you gave me when I left?"
   1.243 + "The poem? Yes, I remember it. Though I wish I wouldn't. It's not 
   1.244 +a good poem. It's stupid."
   1.245 +
   1.246 +    "Little bunny on the moon
   1.247 +    On the moon so far away
   1.248 +    The firefly cannot fly high
   1.249 +    High enough to reach the sky"
   1.250 +
   1.251 +    "The little bunny on the moon
   1.252 +    Came down to earth to seek a friend
   1.253 +    Oh firefly, a friend is here
   1.254 +    A friend is here, a love is here"
   1.255 +
   1.256 + Hotaru blushed dark red as ChibiUsa recited the poem Hotaru wrote 
   1.257 +two years ago.
   1.258 + "You- You learned it by heart..."
   1.259 + "I think it's beautiful. Like you."
   1.260 + ChibiUsa gently caressed Hotaru's hands within her own. ChibiUsa's 
   1.261 +eyes grew darker. Slowly, she was preparing herself to tell Hotaru 
   1.262 +the true reason she had come back.
   1.263 + "Hotaru, I have to tell you something important. About you and 
   1.264 +me... and the future."
   1.265 + Hotaru nodded and smiled to ChibiUsa. She knew she was going to 
   1.266 +hear something she rather wouldn't but she didn't want to make it 
   1.267 +harder for ChibiUsa – her true love.
   1.268 + "I expected that ChibiUsa, I have sensed it since yesterday. Go 
   1.269 +ahead, 
   1.270 +I'm ready."
   1.271 + ChibiUsa sighed and began:
   1.272 + "Hotaru, where I come from, in my future, we two do not have the 
   1.273 +thing we share here. We do not share this love we have here. I 
   1.274 +searched for you after I came back from the past. I found you but 
   1.275 +you were not the same. You... you rejected me."
   1.276 + "ChibiUsa..." Hotaru gasped in shock.
   1.277 + "Yes. And I do not know why. I could see in you eyes you love me. 
   1.278 +I could see the tears that tried to break your eyes but you 
   1.279 +remained strong. You did not even want to talk to me. I came back 
   1.280 +to the past to change that future. Hotaru, I want you to promise me 
   1.281 +something. For what we have here, promise me you will never deceive 
   1.282 +your feelings. And promise me that if you ever stop loving me, you 
   1.283 +will look me in the eyes and tell me that."
   1.284 + "ChibiUsa, I will always -"
   1.285 + "No! Do not tell me you will always love me! Promise me these two 
   1.286 +things!"
   1.287 + "I promise you." 
   1.288 + "Thank you Hotaru. Now I can go back to my future reassured. I was 
   1.289 +only given a limited time here. I will have to leave soon. 
   1.290 +Tomorrow," ChibiUsa said with a sigh. Three simple words: I promise 
   1.291 +you. Could these three simple words change the future? A future 
   1.292 +that somehow went terribly wrong for her.
   1.293 + "Tomorrow already? Then... Then we'll have to make this night a 
   1.294 +night to remember." Hotaru tried to hide her hurt behind a 
   1.295 +reassuring smile.
   1.296 + "Thank you Hotaru. But you forgot who you are talking to. I can 
   1.297 +see through your masks. You don't have to smile if you don't feel 
   1.298 +like it."
   1.299 + "Don't you understand it ChibiUsa? I want to smile to make *you* 
   1.300 +smile. When I see your smile it always makes me feel better."
   1.301 + Now a smile lit ChibiUsa's face also.
   1.302 + "Thank you ChibiUsa. Can I say it now?"
   1.303 + "Go ahead."
   1.304 + "I will always love you ChibiUsa."
   1.305 + "And I will always love you Hotaru."
   1.306 +
   1.307 +   ***
   1.308 +
   1.309 + Midnight already passed when the two young women came to Hotaru's 
   1.310 +home. It was arranged that ChibiUsa would stay in the guest room in 
   1.311 +the Outer's mansion but everybody soon realized that they would 
   1.312 +spend the night in the same room.
   1.313 + The girls quietly took off their shoes and went upstairs holding 
   1.314 +hands. They remained quiet when they were passing the halls until 
   1.315 +they reached the door to Hotaru's room. Hotaru reached for the 
   1.316 +doorknob but then she turned around with a question on her flushed 
   1.317 +face. They slept together all the time when they were younger. But 
   1.318 +now was different. Now they were in love.
   1.319 + ChibiUsa simply smiled at Hotaru and nodded. No words were 
   1.320 +necessary, ChibiUsa knew what question was on Hotaru's mind. They 
   1.321 +entered the room and looked into each other's eyes. The most 
   1.322 +passionate kiss they ever shared followed. Their tongues danced 
   1.323 +with each other and explored each other's mouths. Their hands 
   1.324 +roamed across their bodies, studying the changes the years had 
   1.325 +brought. 
   1.326 + Hotaru slipped her hand under ChibiUsa's dress and savoured the 
   1.327 +feeling of the soft skin against her fingertips. She slowly moved 
   1.328 +her hands around ChibiUsa's back and began undressing her as 
   1.329 +ChibiUsa was doing the same. Soon, both were standing in their 
   1.330 +underwear and stockings.
   1.331 + As Hotaru's dress fell on the floor, ChibiUsa went down on her 
   1.332 +Knees, and began slowly pulling off one of Hotaru's stockings. She 
   1.333 +would pull the stocking down a bit and kiss the soft skin she 
   1.334 +freed. Inside herself, Hotaru could feel something warm forming, 
   1.335 +and with every kiss ChibiUsa planted on her leg the feeling grew 
   1.336 +stronger. When ChibiUsa finally removed both stockings it was 
   1.337 +Hotaru's turn. Though Hotaru took a different approach. With her 
   1.338 +hands she was pulling down the stocking and her tongue travelled 
   1.339 +along a few inches behind the stocking. ChibiUsa let out a muttered 
   1.340 +moan as the delicate feeling of Hotaru's tongue against her skin 
   1.341 +washed through her body.
   1.342 + After the stockings were off, Hotaru's bra was next. ChibiUsa 
   1.343 +unclasped it and let it fall to the floor. She gently cupped one of 
   1.344 +Hotaru's breasts with her hand and kissed the other's nipple 
   1.345 +lovingly. She began suckling on the nipple and stroking the other 
   1.346 +with her thumb. Hotaru's nipples were growing harder every second 
   1.347 +as ChibiUsa was playing with her breasts. They were already rock 
   1.348 +hard when ChibiUsa felt two hands encircle her face. Hotaru 
   1.349 +lovingly brought ChibiUsa's face in front of hers and kissed her 
   1.350 +passionately while she unclasped her bra.
   1.351 + ChibiUsa saw desire in her lover's eyes, as Hotaru lowered her 
   1.352 +head to have some fun with ChibiUsa's breasts, which were slightly 
   1.353 +larger than her own. At the same time Hotaru put her hands on 
   1.354 +ChibiUsa's hips and lay her down on the bed. She took her position 
   1.355 +beside ChibiUsa and while teasing her nipples with her tongue she 
   1.356 +slid down ChibiUsa's panties. After the wet panties landed on the 
   1.357 +floor, Hotaru started planting a trail of kisses from ChibiUsa's 
   1.358 +breasts downward.
   1.359 + The path led from one nipple through a valley to the other and 
   1.360 +then further downward across ChibiUsa's soft stomach. Hotaru was 
   1.361 +moving in circles around the navel and finally followed the musky 
   1.362 +scent to it's origin. Hotaru's lips reached a bush of pink hair and 
   1.363 +her fingers played a little with the pubic hair while her lips 
   1.364 +shyly touched the petals of ChibiUsa's sex. ChibiUsa let out a 
   1.365 +groan and a moan at the same time and Hotaru smiled to herself to 
   1.366 +her achievement.
   1.367 + Determined to draw another moan from ChibiUsa, Hotaru changed her 
   1.368 +position. She put her knees down on either side of ChibiUsa's head, 
   1.369 +carefully avoiding her ponytails. Hotaru stretched over ChibiUsa's 
   1.370 +body and resumed the attack at her pussy.
   1.371 + Suddenly, ChibiUsa was encircled with a sweet odour, and she 
   1.372 +slowly opened her eyes. She was greeted with a sight that 
   1.373 +immediately shattered all the walls inside her, and she let out a 
   1.374 +sound that Hotaru could only describe as something between a sigh 
   1.375 +and a moan. Two pillars were holding Hotaru's crotch mere inches 
   1.376 +away from ChibiUsa's face. ChibiUsa inhaled the strong scent deep 
   1.377 +inside and lifted her head to kiss the wet spot on the white 
   1.378 +panties above her.
   1.379 + Hotaru was tasting the sweet juices that ran out of ChibiUsa's 
   1.380 +pussy when she felt two hands pulling down her panties. When 
   1.381 +ChibiUsa discarded Hotaru's panties and was engulfed by her 
   1.382 +Smell, she knew she wouldn't last much longer. The black haired 
   1.383 +girl felt ChibiUsa's tongue slowly lick her pussy.
   1.384 + Hotaru knew ChibiUsa was close to her climax and so was she. Their 
   1.385 +breathing was shallow and quick. Moans, gasps and sighs were mixed 
   1.386 +with licking sounds. As if their minds were somehow connected, they 
   1.387 +inserted a finger into each other simultaniously and it was like 
   1.388 +floodgates were opened.
   1.389 + After the climax passed, the lovers snuggled up to each to catch 
   1.390 +their breath for the next round.
   1.391 +
   1.392 +   ***
   1.393 +
   1.394 + Soft, smiling crimson eyes greeted Hotaru when she woke up. The 
   1.395 +small amount of light in her room told her that morning has long 
   1.396 +passed. 
   1.397 + "Hotaru-chan, wake up," a soft voice began.
   1.398 + 'Hmph' was the only response the voice got from the girl who 
   1.399 +pulled the blankets over her head.
   1.400 + "Hotaru-chan, I'll give you a kiss if you get up," the soft voice 
   1.401 +persisted.
   1.402 + "Why don't you get back in here and we can continue where we 
   1.403 +stopped last night."
   1.404 + The softness in the voice disappeared as it started anew: "Hotaru, 
   1.405 +don't you want to say goodbye? I'll be going soon."
   1.406 + Crimson eyes met purple ones again when Hotaru removed the blanket 
   1.407 +from her face. Two hands grabbed the unprepared ChibiUsa as Hotaru 
   1.408 +pulled her closer to kiss her.
   1.409 + "Hotaru, how come you aren't sad?" ChibiUsa asked when they 
   1.410 +finally broke their kiss.
   1.411 + "I am sad. But I know that our love is strong. I believe in our 
   1.412 +love. The princess, Usagi-chan, taught me to believe in love." 
   1.413 +Hotaru stated with certainty.
   1.414 + After a pause the raven haired asked the question that lingered in 
   1.415 +her.
   1.416 + "ChibiUsa, this is the last time you came back, isn't it?"
   1.417 + A 'yes' spoken underneath ChibiUsa's breath was all the answer she 
   1.418 +got.
   1.419 +
   1.420 +   ***
   1.421 +
   1.422 + About half an hour later, a time portal opened in the back yard of 
   1.423 +the Outers' house.
   1.424 + "I love you Tomoe Hotaru, princess of Saturn."
   1.425 + "I love you Tsukino Chibi Usagi, princess of the Moon." <Thousand 
   1.426 +years is not a long time...>
   1.427 + A phrase kept repeating itself in ChibiUsa's mind like if she was 
   1.428 +chanting a mandala. A phrase which held all her hopes, all her 
   1.429 +dreams, her entire being.
   1.430 + <I believe in our love.>
   1.431 + And the light filled her.
   1.432 +
   1.433 +
   1.434 +
   1.435 +The End
