     1.4 +	Lovers of the Past
     1.5 +	Part I: In The Mood
     1.6 +	By:  PsychoKittenSenshi611
     1.7 +
     1.8 +
     1.9 +	The club was as packed as it possibly could be on a Saturday night.  A 
    1.10 +young woman, short black hair shining even in the dim light, slid up to the 
    1.11 +bar, her long skirts flowing as she sat on a stool.  She was an eye-catcher 
    1.12 +in that beautiful black dress, the short sleeves revealing delicate white 
    1.13 +flesh on her arms, the wrinkled skirts flowing up every so often and would 
    1.14 +reveal glimpses of little white ankles.  Her small feet were covered by 
    1.15 +little black shoes, matching the dress with perfection.  Her gloves where 
    1.16 +white with a black rim around the wrist, completing the delicate ensemble.
    1.17 +	She was gorgeous.
    1.18 +	But, somehow, she managed to fade into the background of the dancers, 
    1.19 +her small frame blending in with some strange force into the area of the bar.  
    1.20 +She would glance around, noticing people who stood out more than others, but 
    1.21 +they did not notice her.  No matter how gorgeous she was.
    1.22 +	The swing music emerged from the large band, beckoning her onto the 
    1.23 +wooden dance floor.  She did not comply.  She would tap her feet and shake 
    1.24 +her small hips on her stool, but she did not dance.  The bartender noticed 
    1.25 +her by accident, staring off into space and catching a glimpse of shining 
    1.26 +black hair.  He focused fully on her, in all her glory, as she threw her head 
    1.27 +back, her entire body shaking to the intoxicating music.  His young body 
    1.28 +could not deal with this beauty, and his knees shook in his new pinstriped 
    1.29 +suit.
    1.30 +	She was gorgeous.
    1.31 +	But, she would not dance.
    1.32 +	Something caught this black beauty's eye, and she glanced in the 
    1.33 +direction of it.  A whir of pink, followed by the swishing of white skirts, 
    1.34 +and the bubbling sound of beautiful laughter.  She was transfixed at the 
    1.35 +sight before her.  Long pink hair flowing as beautifully as the white skirts 
    1.36 +that whirled around her ankles.  Small white-clad feet tapped expertly on the 
    1.37 +dance-floor, and were swept upward as this flower's partner lifted her up and 
    1.38 +swung her around.  Flips, dips, whirls, and turns...this beauty was not to go 
    1.39 +unnoticed.  To our little black darling, though, she was something much more.
    1.40 +	She was gorgeous.
    1.41 +	"Bartender!"  The small voice dripped with urgency and need.  The young 
    1.42 +man, intoxicated by her and his self-esteem rising, hurried over to her, his 
    1.43 +eyes not leaving the front of her dress.
    1.44 +	"Yes?"  He replied, in a slightly seductive tone.
    1.45 +	She either ignored it or didn't notice.  "Who is that woman, over 
    1.46 +there?"  A long, white-gloved hand motioned to the pink-haired seductress.
    1.47 +	"Oh, you mean Bunny?"  He smiled, memories flooding his mind.
    1.48 +	"Bunny..." The black-haired woman rolled it around on her tongue.  "Is 
    1.49 +that her real name?"
    1.50 +	"Yes," he smiled again.  "Well, her real name is Little Rabbit, but 
    1.51 +everyone calls her Bunny."
    1.52 +	"Oh," came the reply.  "I see."  She hadn't looked at the young man the 
    1.53 +entire time, her eyes transfixed on Bunny.  Something about her enchanted our 
    1.54 +black beauty, and made her want to walk up to her and kiss that pink haired 
    1.55 +rabbit right in the middle of the dance floor, filled with people.  Something 
    1.56 +about this little rabbit made her want to get off of her stool of safety and 
    1.57 +enter her world.
    1.58 +	The bartender leaned over the counter, trying to catch her attention.  
    1.59 +"And what," he began, "is your name?"
    1.60 +	She turned back to him slowly, wondering what to say.  "My name?"  She 
    1.61 +said again, and her mind cleared for a second.  "Oh.  I'm Firefly."
    1.62 +	He smiled.  "Glad to meet you, Firefly."
    1.63 +	Engrained politeness forced her to smile back at him and clear her 
    1.64 +throat.  "And what, may I ask, is your name?"
    1.65 +	He smiled wider, glad she was showing interest in him.  "I'm Seiya."
    1.66 +	The strangeness of his name made her take a closer look at him.  He was 
    1.67 +really quite handsome, large navy blue eyes whose depths could sink a woman 
    1.68 +daring enough to wade into their waters.  She took in the sharp angles of his 
    1.69 +face, the short and stylish hair cut, and the well-tailored suit that he 
    1.70 +wore.  Over the high counter on the bar she couldn't see much else, even if 
    1.71 +she had been standing.  She blushed a little in spite of herself, noticing 
    1.72 +finally that he was VERY interested in her.  "That's an interesting name..." 
    1.73 +She commented, trying to break the still air between the two.
    1.74 +	"I know.  I don't know what my parents were thinking!"  He chuckled, 
    1.75 +and she joined in, relieved.  "What brings you here tonight, Firefly?  Here 
    1.76 +for the dancing, the music," he paused, weighing his words carefully.  "Or 
    1.77 +are you meeting someone?"
    1.78 +	She blushed again.  This wasn't working out well.  "No, I'm not meeting 
    1.79 +anyone at all."  She turned away from his now eager eyes, just in time to 
    1.80 +catch a glimpse of that whirl of pink before it slammed into her.
    1.81 +	The entire ordeal was utterly embarrassing.  Bunny had been dancing, 
    1.82 +just having a good time, when suddenly her partner decided to try out a new 
    1.83 +move.  He had wanted to throw her up in the air and catch her as she spun 
    1.84 +down into his arms, but it hadn't quite worked out the way he had wanted it 
    1.85 +to.  He had thrown her, all right, but she was so surprised she had pulled 
    1.86 +away in mid-air, and ended up going backwards and slamming, quite painfully, 
    1.87 +into the bar.  Now she lay sprawled on top of someone she didn't recognize, a 
    1.88 +stool going painfully into her hip, and her hair caught underneath someone 
    1.89 +else's foot.  Or maybe it was her foot.  She couldn't tell.  She knew it was 
    1.90 +caught somewhere, though.
    1.91 +	Firefly groaned at the weight that pressed down on her.  She rubbed her 
    1.92 +head with her left hand and sat up on her right elbow before opening her 
    1.93 +eyes.  The mysterious girl, Bunny, was inches from her face, red eyes staring 
    1.94 +into dark purple ones.
    1.95 +	She screamed.
    1.96 +	Bunny, more than just a little perplexed, covered her ears and squeezed 
    1.97 +both eyes shut.  When the loud noise finally stopped, she opened one eye, 
    1.98 +making for a very cute little figure.  When she saw the somewhat startled and 
    1.99 +very beautiful Firefly before her, however, she opened both eyes again, and 
   1.100 +stared.
   1.101 +	The moment was awkward.  Dark purple staring into dark red, both women 
   1.102 +sprawled out on the floor with a couple stools between them.  It seemed like 
   1.103 +an eternity before Seiya ran to help both of them up...yes, an eternity, a 
   1.104 +wonderful and blissful eternity that sparked something between two very 
   1.105 +beautiful young women.  Seiya brought them both into a back room to tend to 
   1.106 +their wounds, but they had just barely noticed them.  All they saw was dark 
   1.107 +purple and dark red.  That's all.
   1.108 +	Oh!  She was so beautiful!  Bunny had never seen such beauty wrapped up 
   1.109 +in one gloriously petite package.  She had never seen such a deep shade of 
   1.110 +purple, let alone in eyes as glorious as this.  How could she have not 
   1.111 +noticed this woman before?  This dark, mysterious, beautiful woman?
   1.112 +	Firefly was enchanted.  Perhaps it was that hair, such a cute little 
   1.113 +shade of pink.  Perhaps it was those eyes, red and perfect and wonderful.  
   1.114 +Perhaps it was the cute figure of this petite woman, shown off perfectly in 
   1.115 +that beautiful white dress.  Whatever it was, her senses lived in it, reveled 
   1.116 +in it, and wouldn't let her forget that wonderful look in those red eyes.
   1.117 +	Seiya sat them down on two crates in the storage room.  He watched 
   1.118 +them, an eyebrow raised in a silent question.  Why were they staring at each 
   1.119 +other like that?  He'd never seen that kind of look before.  He turned their 
   1.120 +faces toward him, and cleared his throat.  "Hey ladies, that was a pretty 
   1.121 +hard fall.  Are you cats alright?"
   1.122 +	Bunny's head cleared, and she spoke up.  "Oh, I'm alright...just a little 
   1.123 +banged up."  She breathed out slowly, her face turning the same shade as her 
   1.124 +eyes.  "And embarrassed."
   1.125 +	Seiya laughed.  "I would be too.  But hey, that's what you get if 
   1.126 +you're swinging with Helios!"
   1.127 +	Bunny sulked.  "Yeah, thanks.  I feel SO much better now."
   1.128 +	"Don't worry about it."  The soft voice emerged from the woman beside 
   1.129 +her, and she turned to look at her, red eyes wide.  "Anyone with half a brain 
   1.130 +could see it wasn't your fault."  Firefly smiled.
   1.131 +	Bunny swallowed hard.  She was trying to fight this overwhelming heat 
   1.132 +that emerged from her belly when she looked at this enchantress.  "Th...Thank 
   1.133 +you."  She swallowed hard again.  "But, I apologize anyway, because I can 
   1.134 +tell it probably hurt!"  She tried to break the mood with a small chuckle, 
   1.135 +and succeeded in getting a wider smile and giggle out of the other woman.
   1.136 +	"Hey you two lovely cats, I'm going to get some Band-Aids and wash-
   1.137 +cloths.  I'll be back in a second."  Seiya opened the door and closed it 
   1.138 +softly, leaving the two women in the small storage room all by themselves.
   1.139 +	Bunny was the first to break the silence.  "Since I crashed into you 
   1.140 +and all...I thought it'd be nice if...if we could call each other by our first 
   1.141 +names."
   1.142 +	"Alright."  Firefly nodded.
   1.143 +	"So what's yours?"
   1.144 +	"Firefly."
   1.145 +	"I'm..."
   1.146 +	"Bunny.  I know."
   1.147 +	"How do you know?"
   1.148 +	Firefly smiled.  "Seiya told me."
   1.149 +	"Oh.  You know Seiya?"
   1.150 +	"Not really.  I just met him tonight.  I asked him what your name was."
   1.151 +	"Really?  Why?"
   1.152 +	"Because..." She swallowed the lump in her throat.  "I noticed you 
   1.153 +dancing, and thought you were the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen."
   1.154 +	Bunny could have fainted.  She had never heard anything like that ever 
   1.155 +said to her before.  Where did this come from?  This overwhelming feeling 
   1.156 +that something was RIGHT about this?  This feeling that they had met before, 
   1.157 +in another time, another place?  That she had kissed this woman, held this 
   1.158 +woman, comforted this woman, and made love to this woman?  "I...thank you."
   1.159 +	"You're welcome."  Firefly turned away from those red eyes.
   1.160 +	"You...you're very beautiful yourself, you know.  I've never seen anyone 
   1.161 +like you before."  Bunny smiled.  "You have very lovely eyes, Firefly."
   1.162 +	Firefly smiled at the complement.  "Thank you, Bunny."  Doing something 
   1.163 +that was mainly from her instincts alone, she placed a white-gloved hand over 
   1.164 +Bunny's bare one, not thinking at all.  She didn't know Bunny would suck in 
   1.165 +her breath at the sudden contact, her chest heaving with the sweet ache of it 
   1.166 +all.  She didn't know the smaller, pink haired girl would lean in and kiss 
   1.167 +her sweetly on the lips.
   1.168 +	But if she had known this, she would have done it anyway.
   1.169 +	Bunny's lips brushed her own lightly, and she could have melted right 
   1.170 +onto that crate.  When they pulled away from each other, they realized what 
   1.171 +they had done, what they had given into, and blushed.  Firefly tried to make 
   1.172 +her hand pull away from Bunny's, but her body wouldn't respond.  Instead, 
   1.173 +taking on a mind of it's own, her hand slid around Bunny's waist and pulled 
   1.174 +her half on top of her.  The only slightly smaller girl had her hands in 
   1.175 +between them, resting just above Firefly's breasts.  Her left leg was trapped 
   1.176 +between Firefly's other two, pulsing with some uncontrollable heat.  
   1.177 +Firefly's body still in charge, she dipped her head low and kissed Bunny 
   1.178 +fiercely, deepening the kiss more than they both thought possible.
   1.179 +	Her perfume was like a drug, Bunny thought.  It got her higher than 
   1.180 +anything had ever before.  She couldn't imagine something that made her feel 
   1.181 +half this good.  What reminded her of these kisses?  She didn't know.  No one 
   1.182 +had ever kissed her like this, not this passionately, not this wonderfully, 
   1.183 +not this meaningfully.  No one had ever held her like this, so warm and 
   1.184 +inviting and comfortable and RIGHT.  No one had ever reminded her of home, 
   1.185 +not like this woman before her in the long black dress who's eyes were a deep 
   1.186 +purple like the endless night sky.
   1.187 +	When the kiss did end, they pulled away slowly, swollen lips still 
   1.188 +puckered.  Bunny licked her lips, tasting the sweet honey of the Firefly 
   1.189 +before her.  She tried, in vain, to move from her slightly uncomfortable 
   1.190 +condition, but her body stopped her.  She couldn't control her next move, a 
   1.191 +thought that would normally be scary but didn't frighten her in the least.
   1.192 +	"Firefly, you're a wonderful kisser..." Bunny's lips were mere inches 
   1.193 +from Firefly's.  A small hand traveled up Firefly's thigh, tickling and 
   1.194 +exciting at the same time.  She didn't know where her skirt began or ended, 
   1.195 +but realized that the way they were sitting must have folded her skirt way up 
   1.196 +beneath her.  That wasn't a problem, concerning the circumstances.
   1.197 +	The hand came to rest underneath her skirts at her hip, feeling along 
   1.198 +her hipbone and just below her belly button.  She kissed her Bunny once 
   1.199 +again, tongue diving in her mouth in a quest to quench this fire she was 
   1.200 +starting inside of her.
   1.201 +	Bunny had to retaliate.  Nothing she did seemed to affect this Firefly.  
   1.202 +Nothing.
   1.203 +	Except this.
   1.204 +	Her small hand slipped past her Firefly's underwear, coming in contact 
   1.205 +with soft and curly hair.  She ran her hand down this, feeling the two tensed 
   1.206 +legs spread around her in an instinctive movement.  A small finger traced its 
   1.207 +way down the entrance to this Firefly's cave, feeling along her most 
   1.208 +sensitive place.  Lying back on the crates, Firefly pulled this Bunny above 
   1.209 +her and kissed her again.  Fierce.  Hard.  Scared.
   1.210 +	Legs spread wider, giving that prying finger better access to her.  Not 
   1.211 +sure how to continue, Bunny traced the entrance again and again, feeling her 
   1.212 +finger and hand dampen with the touches.  Finally, an instinctive movement 
   1.213 +placed in the back of her mind from long ago made her plunge her finger into 
   1.214 +this Firefly, feeling the body beneath her stiffen and shudder with desire.  
   1.215 +Her hand plunged in and out, feeling the inner muscles of her new lover 
   1.216 +clench down on her finger.  The kisses became even harder, desperate pleas to 
   1.217 +continue, soundless gasps and moans, eyes and teeth clenched in pure 
   1.218 +pleasure.  The raw pleasure of it all.
   1.219 +	Firefly threw her head back as she continued to shudder.  "Oh God..." She 
   1.220 +moaned, arms and hands locked around Bunny's shoulders.  "Oooohhhh God..." She 
   1.221 +repeated, hips rocking and bouncing on the crates below her.  She realized, 
   1.222 +through the haze that pleasure brings, that she was doing nothing for this 
   1.223 +woman above her, nothing to please her.  Arching her back, she reached the 
   1.224 +neckline of her lover's dress and pulled it down slowly.
   1.225 +	Unsure how to go about it, she stared at the round breast before her.  
   1.226 +The nipple, hardened and ready for her, stuck out like a rosebud.  Instincts, 
   1.227 +buried in the back of her mind from a time long forgotten, made her bend her 
   1.228 +head down to it and begin sucking on it.
   1.229 +	Bunny stared down at her, feeling herself start to stiffen.  Her 
   1.230 +fingers began to slow their movements and eventually stopped, and she 
   1.231 +realized this only after Firefly tilted her head toward her and brought her 
   1.232 +hips to her own.  Sliding her underwear down with one hand and molding her 
   1.233 +breast with her other, she stared into the pink-haired lady's eyes with pure 
   1.234 +desire in them.  The underwear were off, and now she laid back down, 
   1.235 +underneath her little rabbit.
   1.236 +	Lowering her hips onto Firefly's, Bunny moaned.  Their skirts were 
   1.237 +spread out around them, still stuck around their waists.  If she could break 
   1.238 +this completely intimate contact she would, but now she was stuck in the 
   1.239 +moment, feeling the wonderful feeling of completion as they met each other 
   1.240 +again and again...
   1.241 +	Bunny kissed her lover as climax overtook them both at the same 
   1.242 +instant, shuddering over and over, hips rocking and bouncing back and forth 
   1.243 +against the crates, creating a loud amount of noise.  All Firefly could do 
   1.244 +was wonder where Seiya was and clutch Bunny to her, teeth clenched and 
   1.245 +muscles locked in the fabulous release.  They stayed like that for a long 
   1.246 +time, the last spasms and waves washing over them, feeling more at peace then 
   1.247 +they had ever felt before.  The shuddering eventually stopped, however, and 
   1.248 +all they could do was lay together, still clutching at each other and legs 
   1.249 +locked in a tight embrace.  Soft swing music filtered through the door, and 
   1.250 +they both smiled.
   1.251 +	"In the Mood", by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra, was being played.  
   1.252 +They both knew, by some outer force, that this was right, this was a sign, 
   1.253 +and that they loved each other.
   1.254 +	It was 1938, the era of swing, and the two women were locked together 
   1.255 +in a tight embrace in a storage room of an underground swing club.
   1.256 +
   1.257 +*   *   *
   1.258 +
   1.259 +	"Oh, Taru-chan!  Come over here, quick!"  Chibi-Usa called to her 
   1.260 +lover.  "Come on!  It's our song!"
   1.261 +	Hotaru walked into the room, an apron around her waist.  "What?  I'm 
   1.262 +baking cookies, Odango..."
   1.263 +	"I know, I know, but I want you to dance with me for a little while."  
   1.264 +She grabbed the black-haired girl's hands and pulled her into an intimate 
   1.265 +embrace.  "You know, every time I hear this song, I want to hold you close."
   1.266 +	"I know.  I feel the same way."  She kissed Chibi-Usa's cheek lightly.  
   1.267 +"I'm trying to remember, what's this song called?"
   1.268 +	"It's really old, I know that for sure."
   1.269 +	"Yeah, the recording's kinda fuzzy."  Hotaru smiled at Chibi-Usa.  
   1.270 +Suddenly, she went weak at the knees, and sunk to the floor.
   1.271 +	Chibi-Usa sunk with her, still holding her close.  "Taru-chan?  Are you 
   1.272 +alright?"  Her voiced was pressed with worry.
   1.273 +	"Yes, Odango...I'm just...a little overwhelmed, that's all."  Hotaru laid 
   1.274 +her head on Chibi-Usa's shoulder.  "I don't know.  I just had the strangest 
   1.275 +thing happen...I saw us, together, only you looked like Black Lady and I looked 
   1.276 +kinda like Mistress 9...but we weren't EVIL...just older.  And we were dancing 
   1.277 +together, to this song."
   1.278 +	"What do you mean?"  Chibi-Usa looked thoughtful, suddenly catching a 
   1.279 +bit of the vision herself.
   1.280 +	"I don't know."  Hotaru looked up at Chibi-Usa.  "Maybe this has always 
   1.281 +been our song, Odango."
