 This is a Sekkushiaru Roman, which means it is a romance story that contains

 a lot of adult themes. This is for mature readers only. We don't own any of 

 the characters in this, Toei, Naoko Takeuchi and assorted other people do. 

 This is a Christmas themed story. Hotaru & ChibiUsa are both 15 and Kakyuu

 & the Starlights are 19. Every space between paragraphs is a scene change.

 Usagi and Mamoru are married and share an appartment, so ChibiUsa stays 

 with Usagi's parents and Shingo. A lot of our story ideas come from an

 IRL Sailormoon roleplaying game we play, and some of the ideas in this 

 fic also come from that. One day we may write down the basics of what goes 

 on in our role-playing game, but only if people are interested. If you have 

 any ideas about who we should get Seiya and Taiki with, we'd really like 

 to hear from you. We love feedback, so please e-mail us at: 

 amazonessduo@hotmail.com

 We love to hear from people and what they thought of our stories or what

 stories they'd like us to write.  Thanks. ^-^

 

 

 		    "Twas the Night Before Christmas"

 

 			  By the Amazoness Duo

 

 

 	The city of Tokyo was blanketed in a layer of snow. All was calm 

 and peaceful...

 	"Come on, Taiki. I don't have all day," Yaten complained as Taiki

 ignored him and continued to look around the book store.

 	"It's not Taiki's fault you didn't get Kakyuu a Christmas present

 yet," said Seiya.

 	"I just kept putting it off. You guys know how much I hate Christmas

 shopping," said Yaten.

 	"That doesn't matter. You should have gotten this done a while back

 so you wouldn't have to worry about it now," Taiki spoke up from one of the

 books she was looking at.

 	"Well, thanks for going with me, but could we look at some other 

 stores? This place sucks," said Yaten. Taiki looked up from her books and 

 glared at her. "I mean, I can't find a gift for Kakyuu here."

 	"Yeah, we should probably be going if Yaten's going to get anything 

 in time," said Seiya.

 	"Don't worry. I'll be done in a couple minutes," said Taiki. Yaten

 and Seiya looked at each other. When Taiki was in a bookstore it could be 

 days before they saw daylight again.

 	Several minutes later, Taiki turned around to find that Seiya and 

 Yaten were gone. 'Oh well,' Taiki thought, 'that gives me more time to find-

 the books I want.' Taiki turned back around and continued to look through 

 the shelves of books.

 

 	ChibiUsa sat alone in the Tsukino household. She looked outside at 

 the snow as the weather seemed to get worse. She sighed. Earlier, she had 

 found out that Usagi's parents, Kenji & Ikuko, and her brother Shingo were

 stuck because of the snow, so they had to stay at a friend of the family's

 house. They had been going to a dinner part and had asked ChibiUsa if she

 wanted to go, but she declined. Usagi and Mamoru had called to see if she

 was okay a short while ago. Mamoru had offered to go get her, but it would

 have been dangerous in the blizzard.

 	ChibiUsa remembered the Christmases she had spent in Crystal Tokyo 

 with her family. She remembered getting a tree with her parents, having

 big dinners with the other Senshi, looking at all the decorations people 

 would put up around the Crystal Palace... She sighed again. She missed 

 those times. She had tried to call Hotaru several times, but a little 

 while after Usagi & Mamoru called the phone lines had gone out. Just to

 hear her sweet voice would make ChibiUsa feel better and less homesick.

 	ChibiUsa held the present she had gotten for Hotaru. She had wanted

 to give it to her that day, but now she'd have to wait until it stopped

 snowing, if it did at all. 'I hate this,' thought ChibiUsa. 'It's Christmas

 Eve and I can't spend it with my loved ones. I can't spend it with my mom

 and dad since they're in the future. Usagi's family can't get here. And 

 Hotaru's spending Christmas with Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna. I can't 

 even go see her because of the snow.' ChibiUsa sat closer to the fire. She

 was wearing a shirt and some sweatpants to keep warm, but it didn't help 

 much with how cold it was. She had started a fire earlier to keep warm, 

 and it seemed to be heating up the room rather well. 

 	She started to think about Hotaru, as she often did when she 

 couldn't be with her. She thought about how Hotaru's dark hair fell to her

 shoulders. How Hotaru's purple eyes would stare deep into her own. She 

 could spend hours looking into Hotaru's eyes. How Hotaru's soft lips felt

 against her own. ChibiUsa blushed. She remembered how they had almost been 

 caught kissing right before class. ChibiUsa smiled to herself at the memory. 

 "I wish she was here," said ChibiUsa aloud as she thought of the dark 

 haired girl.

 

 	Seiya and Yaten walked along inside the mall. "So do you have any 

 idea what you want to get Kakyuu?" asked Seiya.

 	"I have no clue. I just want to get her something she'll like," 

 said Yaten.

 	Seiya shrugged. "Good luck. I don't really think she'll mind no 

 matter what you get her. She has you and that's what keeps her happy."

 	Yaten smiled. "Thanks, Seiya. You're right. I still want to get

 her something special, though."

 	The two walked along in relative silence for a while. Finally 

 Yaten spoke up. "Lets go in here." Yaten indicated a store. Its sign read 

 that it had unique merchandise.

 	"What's 'unique merchandise'? asked Seiya.

 	"Let's find out. Maybe I can find something for Kakyuu here," 

 Yaten said as she walked into the store.

 	Yaten and Seiya froze as they looked at the people in the store.

 They were all dressed up in costumes of the senshi. And they were all men.

 Seiya and Yaten looked along the line of costumed senshi. Some had beards, 

 or goatees, or receding hairlines. Seiya and Yaten's gaze stopped as they 

 saw the Starlights. Yaten and Seiya ran screaming from the store.

 

 	ChibiUsa blinked several times. She must have fallen asleep by the 

 fire. She stretched a bit as she sat up. She heard a knock at the door. 

 'That must be what woke me up,' thought ChibiUsa. She got up and walked 

 towards the door. 'Who could it be?' she thought. She stood on her tiptoes

 and looked out the peephole. Hotaru was standing outside. ChibiUsa quickly 

 unlocked the door. 

 	"Hotaru, what are you doing here? You look frozen. How did you get 

 here? You didn't walk all the way did you? Do the others know you're 

 here?" asked ChibiUsa. Hotaru just smiled slightly and let ChibiUsa lead

 her inside. 

 	"I wanted to see you," she said simply.

 	"Oh, Hotaru. You shouldn't have come all this way through the snow.

 It's dangerous," said ChibiUsa.

 	"Are you happy to see me?" Hotaru leaned towards ChibiUsa and smiled

 again. ChibiUsa kissed her. She felt ChibiUsa's warm lips against her own 

 cold ones. 'It was worth it. I love being with her. I should have gone 

 earlier,' she thought as ChibiUsa's tongue entered her mouth. Both girls 

 finally pulled away from lack of breath. 

 	"Thank you, Hotaru. I was feeling so lonely all by myself. And 

 homesick. I wanted to see you so badly," said ChibiUsa.

 	Hotaru brushed some of ChibiUsa's hair away from her eyes. "I missed

 you, too."

 	"You're shivering," said ChibiUsa. "You must be freezing. Let me 

 help you." ChibiUsa helped Hotaru out of her clothes and then went off to 

 get a blanket. Hotaru sat by the fire and waited for ChibiUsa. 'She really

 worries about me. It feels so good to have someone like that. ChibiUsa's not 

 even born yet, but she's my other half,' Hotaru thought. ChibiUsa came back 

 and put the blanket around her. 

 	"I'm going to make some hot cocoa. I'll be back in just a minute," 

 said ChibiUsa.

 	"Okay. But you better hurry. I may not be here when you get back,"

 Hotaru said mischeivously. ChibiUsa smiled at her and walked off to make 

 the cocoa. 'It's nice to know that someone cares for you like she does. 

 She's really cute when she worries about me, too. I have a lot of fun when

 I'm around her. It's like she brings out a part of me that no one else sees

 but her,' thought Hotaru.

 	

 	"I'm telling you, Taiki. They looked like bikers," said Yaten.

 	"They looked like the Hell's Angels in senshi fuku," agreed Seiya.

 	"It's ironic, though, isn't it? We dress up like men as normal 

 people," said Taiki.

 	"Not normal people. We're the Three Lights, remember?" answered 

 Seiya.

 	"That's besides the point. We dress up like men, though as senshi 

 you can see we're women, and they dress up like women as senshi," said 

 Taiki.

 	"Though as biker trash you can see that they're men. That doesn't

 really matter, Taiki. It was still a scary sight," said Yaten.

 	They walked along silently for a little while. 

 	"Ironic, nonetheless," said Taiki.	

 

 	ChibiUsa walked back to Hotaru holding a mug of hot cocoa. She 

 handed it to Hotaru who accepted it gratefully. ChibiUsa sat down by her.

 She hugged her knees to her chest. ChibiUsa turned to her and smiled. "I'm 

 really glad you're here, Hotaru."

 	"I'm glad I'm here, too. Thanks for the cocoa, Odango-chan," Hotaru 

 said, pulling the blanket tighter around herself. 

 	"That's okay. I hope you like it. I know I can't cook very well," 

 She was interrupted by a giggle from Hotaru, "but I tried, anyway."

 	"Odango-chan, its easy to make cocoa. You don't have to do too much.

 How could you mess that up?" Hotaru asked.

 	"Oh, I'd find some way. That's the last thing I need. You get here 

 and then I poison you with bad hot cocoa," said ChibiUsa.

 	Hotaru took a sip. "It's pretty good," she said. She felt the warmth

 go through her body as she drank a little more. She noticed that it wasn't 

 the cocoa that was warming her up, though. It was ChibiUsa's hands on her 

 shoulders, trying to rub some warmth back into her cold body. Hotaru purred

 as she felt ChibiUsa's breath against the back of her neck. 

 	"So how are Michiru, Haruka, and Setsuna?" asked ChibiUsa. One of 

 her hands started to go lower, sending a tingle up Hotaru's spine.

 	"They're doing pretty well. They were doing a lot of cooking before 

 I left. Haruka accidently set something on fire and they kicked her out of 

 the kitchen," Hotaru said.

 	"Haruka's almost as bad as I am when it comes to cooking," said 

 ChibiUsa.

 	"No, she's worse. Michiru-mama tries to help her, but something 

 always goes wrong when Haruka-papa's cooking. She really tries to help, 

 too," said Hotaru. She felt ChibiUsa's hands rubbing her back. 'I'm in 

 heaven right now,'she thought to herself. The blanket slid past her 

 shoulders. ChibiUsa felt a thrill race through her as she smelt the 

 fragrant scent of Hotaru's hair. 

 	"There. Are you feeling warmer now, Hotaru?" asked ChibiUsa. Hotaru

 turned around so she was facing ChibiUsa. Hotaru's arms encircled ChibiUsa.

 Her breasts pressed up agianst ChibiUsa's through her shirt. 

 	"ChibiUsa, you warmed my life more than you'll ever know," Hotaru 

 said. ChibiUsa blushed as she looked into Hotaru's eyes, as she had thought

 about doing earlier. 

 

 	"I can't find anything," complained Yaten.

 	"We've been around the mall and back twice now," said Taiki. "You'd 

 think that you could find something by now."

 	"I guess we better head home," said Yaten, defeated.

 	"In that case, I'm going back to get one last book. I'll see you two

 in a minute," Taiki walked off.

 	Yaten sat near a fountain, angry at herself for not finding anything.

 Seiya sat down by her. After a couple minutes of contemplation, Seiya turned

 towards Yaten. 

 	"I know what you can give Kakyuu," said Seiya.

 	"What?" asked Yaten.

 	Seiya pulled something out of her pocket. She held it in front of 

 Yaten. It was a small fire red jewel with a ring of gold around it. 

 	"What is it?" asked Yaten as she looked at it.

 	"It's a piece of jewelry from Kinmoku. I found it right before we 

 went to earth. I was going to give it to Kakyuu when I told her how I really

 felt about her. But you won her heart. I want you to give this to Kakyuu,"

 Seiya handed it to Yaten. 'First I lost Usagi, and now Kakyuu,' thought 

 Seiya. 'I have really bad luck with women.'

 	"Thanks, Seiya," said Yaten in a low voice as she looked at it. 

 "She'll love it, especially since it's from Kinmoku."

 	"Hey, don't worry about it. As long as she has you, she'll be happy. 

 As long as she's happy, I'm fine," said Seiya. "Now let's go get a store to 

 wrap it."

 

 	Hotaru & ChibiUsa held each other, the blanket forgotten on the 

 floor. Hotaru leaned her head on ChibiUsa's chest. "I wish you'd let me 

 tell everyone about us," said Hotaru.

 	"I know, but we're both pretty young. People will think we're doing 

 something stupid," said ChibiUsa

 	"I don't care what they think about us. I just want everyone to know

 that you're my Odango-chan," replied Hotaru. "As it is, all the boys see you

 as a pretty single girl and they try to get you. I want them to know that 

 you already have a girlfirend."

 	ChibiUsa laughed. "Maybe I should just wear an "I'm gay with Hotaru"

 sticker on my blouse."

 	"Maybe. Then I wouldn't have to worry about boys talking to you," 

 said Hotaru as she kissed ChibiUsa lightly.

 	"Then you'd only have to worry about the girls chasing after me,"

 said ChibiUsa.

 	"Why do I doubt that? Anyway, that's why the sticker would say 

 'with Hotaru'" said Hotaru with a smile.

 	"Oh yeah? Momo-chan's had her eye on me for a while," ChibiUsa said.

 	"I'm sure all the other girls in the school do. But they can't have 

 you. I wouldn't let them," Hotaru said as their lips brushed again. 

 	ChibiUsa brushed some hair out of Hotaru's eyes. "I love you," she 

 said simply, looking deep into those purple eyes that drew her in.

 

 	Taiki had caught up with Yaten and Seiya after they had gotten 

 Kakyuu's gift wrapped. 

 	"Are we ready to go?" asked Seiya.

 	"I suppose we are," answered Taiki. They pushed open the mall doors 

 and looked out at the falling snow outside.

 	"We'll never be able to get back," said Seiya.

 	"Well, we'll have to try anyway," said Yaten determinedly. She 

 started walking out of the mall, bracing herself against the still fallng

 snow. "Are you two coming or not?"

 	Taiki and Seiya exchanged glances before heading outside. They 

 walked along for a while, but they started to have trouble finding where

 they were going. They saw a silhoutte of a man in front of them. He waved.

 	"Follow me!" he said as he started off.

 	"What do we do?" asked Seiya.

 	"We follow him. What else can we do." replied Taiki.

 	"Who's stupid idea was it to head out here anyway?" asked Yaten. 

 Taiki and Seiya both slapped her upside the head. Suddenly, the snow was 

 blocked a bit. They were in an alleyway with a bunch of ragged men 

 surrounding a fire barrel.

 	"Hi. I'm Hobo Willie. It's nice to meet you," The man who had helped 

 them stuck out his hand wich was covered in a ripped white glove. Taiki took

 his hand and shook it. 

 	"It's good to meet you too, sir. Thanks for helping us," Taiki said.

 	"Don't worry about it. Are you fancy lads hungry? We're cooking...."

 He looked at what the other bums and hobos were cooking over the fire. "I 

 don't know what the hell we're cooking, but it is food. I think."

 	"No! I'm in hell with a bunch of hobo's and I won't be with my 

 Kakyuu for christmas!" said an exasperated Yaten.

 	"You forgot bums, fancy lad," Hobo Willie added helpfully.

 

 	Hotaru & ChibiUsa's hands started to roam each other's bodies. 

 ChibiUsa felt Hotaru's hands cup her breasts. She felt her nipples 

 harden as Hotaru pinched them lightly through the cloth of her shirt. 

 ChibiUsa slid out of the sweatpants she was wearing as Hotaru pulled

 ChibiUsa's shirt off. ChibiUsa sat on her knees as she and Hotaru looked

 at each other. She placed her hands on Hotaru's shoulders and gently 

 pushed her to the floor. 

 	"Odango-chan, you are so beautiful," said Hotaru as she traced the 

 curves of ChibiUsa's body. ChibiUsa blushed. She crawled over towards 

 Hotaru. One hand moved between Hotaru's legs. ChibiUsa crawled up further 

 so her face was inches away from Hotaru's. Hotaru looked at ChibiUsa's 

 flushed cheeks. 'She's still a bit embarrassed about our making love' 

 Hotaru thought. 'She's not used to being close to someone like we are. I'm

 not either, but I cherish every moment I have with her. I want to make 

 sure she's not embarrassed around me'. Hotaru leaned her head closer to 

 ChibiUsa as her hands went to ChibiUsa's chest. Her mouth met ChibiUsa's. 

 ChibiUsa almost pulled away at the suddenness of it, but

 she pushed back into the kiss, letting Hotaru's tongue enter her mouth. 'I 

 am so lucky to have her' thought ChibiUsa. 'She always makes me feel safe.' 

 Hotaru felt ChibiUsa's fingers slide into her. Hotaru continued to kiss 

 ChibiUsa as she felt her fingers slide further into her. They pulled away 

 from the kiss breathlessly.

 	Hotaru's hand ran across ChibiUsa's stomach and through her pink 

 pubic hair. ChibiUsa loved the way Hotaru's body felt against hers. ChibiUsa 

 spread her legs. ChibiUsa moaned as Hotaru's fingers started to stroke her

 pearl. Hotaru started kissing along ChibiUsa's neck. She felt herself 

 near orgasm as she felt one of ChibiUsa's hands exploring the curves of her

 body. Both girls moaned the others name as they reached orgasm together. 

 They laid on the floor for a while panting. ChibiUsa kissed Hotaru's damp

 forehead. ChibiUsa got off of Hotaru and grabbed the blanket. Hotaru pulled 

 ChibiUsa close as ChibiUsa brought the blanket around them. 

 

 	Taiki looked at the hobos and bums as they threw their Christmas eve 

 party. "They have nothing, yet they still enjoy Christmas."

 	"And they invite us to stay for the party," said Seiya.

 	Hobo Willie sat down by Yaten. "Are you okay, fancy lad? You don't 

 look too happy. Are you hungry?" he asked.

 	"Look, thanks for everything, but it's Christmas Eve and the only 

 thing I want is to be back with my Kakyuu," said Yaten.

 	Hobo Willie stared off into space for several minutes. Yaten looked

 at him quizically. She waved her hand in his line of vision. 

 	"Hmm, wha.. Oh, yeah. I lost track of what I was thinking about. Are 

 you hungry?" he asked again. 

 	Yaten sweatdropped. "No, I'm not. I just want to get home, somehow," 

 Yaten said.

 	Hobo Willie looked at Yaten for a moment, then nodded his head. 

 "That kinda sucks, doesn't it. I'd like to get home, too, but my cardboard

 box is across town."

 	"Do you have any ideas on how I could get home?" Yaten asked 

 desperately.

 	"Oh, yeah. I have some of those," Hobo Willie said.

 	Yaten sweatdropped again. "Could you tell me them?" she asked.

 	"Now that's a good idea right there," He answered. He got up and 

 walked towards the fire barrel. 

 	'Well there goes the chance of getting help. I knew I shouldn't put 

 my hope in some bum,' she thought.

 	"Okay everybody. Listen up," Hobo Willie said. "It's Christmas Eve

 and someone's very unhappy. If there's anything we can do to help someone's

 Christmas, we should. I say we help these fancy lads get home!" Many hobos

 and bums started yelling agreement. Yaten looked up as she heard that. These

 people had nothing, yet they wanted to help.

 	"We should get going now if you want to get home in time," Hobo 

 Willie said.

 	"Thanks," said Yaten.

 	"Yeah," agreed Seiya. 

 	"That's very kind of you," said Taiki.

 	"Think nothing of it," Hobo Willie said. "Now all we've got to do is

 find some reindeer."

 	Yaten, Seiya, and Taiki sweatdropped.

 

 	"Odango-chan?" asked Hotaru.

 	"Yeah, Hotaru?" ChibiUsa looked at the other girl.

 	"Guess," said Hotaru.

 	"What?" asked ChibiUsa.

 	"I love you," said Hotaru.

 	They kissed before ChibiUsa got up. "Just a minute. I wanted to give 

 you something," she said.

 	Hotaru walked over to her clothes. She pulled her present to ChibiUsa

 out of her jacket. She turned around to see ChibiUsa walking towards her. 

 ChibiUsa sat down by her. 

 	"This is for you. Merry Christmas, Hotaru," said ChibiUsa as she handed

 Hotaru her gift.

 	"Merry Christmas, ChibiUsa," Hotaru said as she exchanged gifts with her

 Odango-chan.

 	"What is it?" asked ChibiUsa. 

 	"Open it," Hotaru said.

 	"No, I want you to open your present first," ChibiUsa said.

 	"Okay. We'll open it at the same time," said Hotaru.

 	ChibiUsa and Hotaru started to unwrap their gifts. 

 	"Oh, Hotaru, it's beautiful," said ChibiUsa. She looked at the locket 

 Hotaru had gotten her. She opened it and saw a picture of herself with Hotaru.

 	"Thank you, ChibiUsa," Hotaru said as she looked at her gift. It was a 

 small porcelain doll, with shoulder length dark purple hair. It was just like 

 a doll she had when she was growing up. 

 	"I remembered that you had a doll like that from a little while after we 

 became friends. You told me all about it and how it was one of the only things 

 you had of your mom's. Then it got possessed by a Daimon and destroyed by the 

 outer senshi. You looked so sad. I found this a while ago and I had to get it

 for you," said ChibiUsa. She and Hotaru met in a warm embrace.

 

 	Yaten, Seiya, and Taiki walked along with Hobo Willie guiding them. For

 a minute the old man looked like Santa Claus, though Taiki rationalized it was

 probably from their poor vision.

 	"He seems kinda like old Saint Nick, doesn't he?" asked Seiya.

 	"Yeah. An old Saint Nick who lost his job... and his mind," remarked 

 Yaten. 

 	"It's still nice that he's helping us get home," said Taiki.

 	"Grab that!" yelled Hobo Willie.

 	Seiya looked up just in time to see a carboard box flying at her. 

 "AAaaaahhhhhh!" Seiya reflexively grabbed the box before it hit her.

 	"Oh, good. You caught my house. I guess it wasn't as far across town as

 I thought," said Hobo Willie. He pulled the box away from Seiya and folded it up.

 "Don't you just love these new fangled mobile homes?" 

 	They walked along through the snow until they reached a big building. 

 	"Well, here you go. I believe this is your building," he said.

 	"Thank you. I'd hug you if you weren't a scary old hobo," Yaten said 

 happily as she shook his had and ran in to find Kakyuu.

 	"Oh, what the hell," Seiya said and hugged the old man. Seiya followed

 Yaten in.

 	"Thanks again," said Taiki. "Is there anything we could do for you?"

 	"Nah, Not unless you have parts to an edsel. There's a broken down one 

 in the dump, and I'd be hell on wheels if I could get it to work," Hobo Willie

 said.

 	Taiki stared at him for a moment. "Here's some money. Use it for 

 whatever you want. Merry Christmas."

 	"C'mon Taiki. You're smart," said Yaten sticking her head around the

 corner. "He's just going to buy booze with it."

 	"Now there's a good idea," said Hobo Willie.

 	Taiki walked inside as the Hobo walked off through the snow.

 	Yaten opened the door to their apartment and Kakyuu threw herself 

 into the other girls arms. 

 	"Oh Yaten. I was so worried about you," said Kakyuu. "Don't scare me 

 like that. I missed you." Yaten kissed Kakyuu.

 	"I wish I had somebody like that who I could hold and kiss under the

 mistletoe," said Seiya.

 	Taiki looked up and saw some mistletoe hanging above Seiya. She kissed

 Seiya.

 

 	Hotaru and ChibiUsa looked at the Christmas tree as they held each other.

 	"Merry Christmas, ChibiUsa," said Hotaru.

 	"Merry Christmas, Hotaru," replied ChibiUsa.

 

 The End

 

 Merry Christmas, Minna-san! ^-^
