rlm@0: Title: Dreams That Won't Disappear When I Open My Eyes, Chapter 1 rlm@0: Author: Princess rlm@0: Author's Email: hime_sama@email.com rlm@0: Rating: Hentai rlm@0: rlm@0: Moshimoshi everyone. I'm sorry this is a week late... but my rlm@0: "creative flow" got quite impended for awhile. I'm debating making a webpage rlm@0: to put my stories on that will be updated more quickly than ASMR, but don't rlm@0: count on it. ^-^ And one more reminder- this story is based on both anime rlm@0: and manga, so there will be chunks from both. Enough rambling. On with the rlm@0: story. - Princess rlm@0: rlm@0: Disclaimers: There's a reason why there's a banana in my ear. I'm trying to rlm@0: lure the monkey out of my head. rlm@0: rlm@0: ----------- rlm@0: rlm@0: rlm@0: "Dreams that won't disappear when I open my eyes.." rlm@0: Chapter One rlm@0: ----------- rlm@0: rlm@0: "Hotaru-chan!!" rlm@0: rlm@0: ChibiMoon's eyes were wide as she saw, for the first time in rlm@0: forever, it seemed, the raven-haired soldier of Saturn. Strange glass youma rlm@0: had attacked... and had captured all of the inner senshi. ChibiUsa had rlm@0: thought they wouldn't win... when the Outer Senshi had shown up. With rlm@0: Saturn. rlm@0: rlm@0: "Hello, ChibiUsa-chan.." It sounded so light, so formal, but a rlm@0: shiver tremored down the pink-haired girl's spine at the melodic sound of rlm@0: Hotaru's voice. She could never tire of hearing it. rlm@0: rlm@0: "World Shaking!" "Deep Submerge!" "Dead Scream.." Sailoruranus, rlm@0: Sailorneptune, and Sailorpluto shattered the demons that appeared to be made rlm@0: out of mirrors. But as they began to re-form, Sailormoon and the inner rlm@0: soldiers began to ask questions... when Saturn spoke. rlm@0: rlm@0: "A crisis is approaching the Princess. We must give her our power." rlm@0: With that, she simply bowed her head and a deep purple aura suddenly rlm@0: radiated from her. The other guardian soldiers quickly followed suit.... and rlm@0: to ChibiUsa's amazement, Sailormoon called out "Moon Eternal... Make-up!" rlm@0: and transformed into a new uniform with.... wings?! rlm@0: rlm@0: "This is Sailormoon's true form," Hotaru spoke once more. "I have rlm@0: come to tell you this." rlm@0: rlm@0: ----------- rlm@0: rlm@0: Those words echoed in ChibiUsa's mind now. Brief words, yes, but rlm@0: everything Hotaru had said was played over and over in her thoughts now as rlm@0: she readied for bed. She looked at herself solemnly in the mirror as she rlm@0: slowly brushed out her candy-pink hair. rlm@0: rlm@0: What was going on? What is the new danger? Is Usagi in trouble? How rlm@0: did Hotaru get big again so fast? Does she still.... care? All of these rlm@0: questions rampaged unanswered in ChibiUsa's heart, and with a weary sigh she rlm@0: turned off her lamp and slid into bed. Despite her troubled thoughts, she rlm@0: fell into a deep, dreamless sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. rlm@0: rlm@0: Hours later, something woke ChibiUsa. She didn't know what, or why, rlm@0: she just sat with her eyes half-open, staring at the bedspread though not rlm@0: really focusing on it. The Sandman's clouded dreams still hovered over her rlm@0: mind, and she half-smiled, content to linger where she was rather than think rlm@0: about why she was awake in the middle of the night. rlm@0: rlm@0: But this was short-lived, for a shadow fell over the bunny-dappled rlm@0: bedspread, and slowly she blinked and looked up toward the window. Hotaru rlm@0: sat on the open windowsill, the moonlight reflecting purple on her raven rlm@0: hair. Her slender body was clothed in a simple white cotton dress that was rlm@0: thin enough to pass for a nightgown. As her eyes met ChibiUsa's, she smiled. rlm@0: "You're awake." rlm@0: rlm@0: "Hotaru-chan," ChibiUsa mumbled as her mind cleared. "Hotaru-chan... rlm@0: why... how long have you been here?" She blushed a bit, realizing Hotaru rlm@0: could have been watching her for some time. rlm@0: rlm@0: "For a while," Hotaru answered noncommitally. rlm@0: rlm@0: "What... were you doing?" Chibiusa asked, slowly sitting up in bed. rlm@0: As she did, the thick strap of the white tank-top she wore slid down her rlm@0: shoulder, causing the pinky fuzzy rabbit emblazoned on the front to wrinkle. rlm@0: rlm@0: rlm@0: "Watching you." Slowly Hotaru unfolded her legs that had been pulled rlm@0: to her chest and stood, walking gracefully to sit on the edge of ChibiUsa's rlm@0: bed, one leg pulled beneath her as she faced the pink-haired girl. "It's rlm@0: nice to be able to do that again. It's been so long." rlm@0: rlm@0: "I know," ChibiUsa replied. She smiled suddenly and, to Hotaru's rlm@0: surprise, threw her arms about her, laying her head on her chest as she rlm@0: pulled her close. "I've missed you, Hota-chan." rlm@0: rlm@0: Blushing, Hotaru smiled brightly even as she felt a bit of moistness rlm@0: build up in her eyes. Returning the embrace, she murmured, "I've missed you rlm@0: too, ChibiUsa-chan.." rlm@0: rlm@0: For a few long moments they stayed in that position, lost to the rlm@0: world. But ChibiUsa suddenly noticed that the softness beneath her cheek was rlm@0: Hotaru's breasts... and that realization prompted her to sit up straight as rlm@0: an arrow, reddish eyes wide, cheeks aflame. rlm@0: rlm@0: "ChibiUsa...?" Hotaru's eyes blinked open and then she hesitated rlm@0: when she saw the look on her friend's face. They both sat, once more frozen rlm@0: as a dozen emotions seemed to pass between them. It was as if they were rlm@0: linked... both feeling the love, and confusion, and passion that the other rlm@0: felt. rlm@0: rlm@0: Hotaru's eyes suddenly closed and she leaned forward, pulling rlm@0: ChibiUsa in close. For a moment ChibiUsa's eyes widened and she inhaled rlm@0: sharply, but the moment Hotaru's lips touched hers a sense of calm and peace rlm@0: flowed through her, and her eyes slowly closed. rlm@0: rlm@0: It was like no kiss she had ever recieved before. True, she had only rlm@0: been kissed once... but it was not like this. Everything in the world seemed rlm@0: to be wiped away and the only thing she knew was Hotaru... her touch, her rlm@0: scent, her warmth, her love. It was overwhelming... it felt like the time at rlm@0: the beach when a wave had crashed over her head and taken her under, rlm@0: disorienting her until she didn't know how to come back up. But this time, rlm@0: she wasn't sure she -wanted- to come back up. rlm@0: rlm@0: After only a moment, though it had seemed like forever, they broke rlm@0: apart and sat with their noses only inches from each other, staring into rlm@0: each other's eyes. Each wondered what the other was thinking, what to do rlm@0: next. It was ChibiUsa who spoke first. rlm@0: rlm@0: "Hotaru-chan," ChibiUsa whispered breathlessly. Their was a strange rlm@0: burning light in her eyes that Hotaru couldn't quite place. "Hotaru... don't rlm@0: leave. Stay here tonight." rlm@0: rlm@0: The implications of that statement took a moment to reach Hotaru's rlm@0: mind. Stay... the night? She knew ChibiUsa didn't just mean an innocent rlm@0: sleep-over. The thought that -ChibiUsa- would suggest such a thing astounded rlm@0: her. "C-ChibiUsa.." she stammered, "...are you, I mean.... are you rlm@0: sure...?" rlm@0: rlm@0: A firm nod was her reply. "Don't leave, Hota-chan." rlm@0: rlm@0: Hotaru blinked, watching her in silence for a moment. Right and rlm@0: wrong danced in her mind- what should she do? But in the end, it was her rlm@0: emotions, her heart that won. rlm@0: rlm@0: "Okay." rlm@0: ---------- rlm@0: rlm@0: That's it for now, minna. Sorry I had to give another cliff-hanger, rlm@0: but I wanted to finish it for this week and it's hard to do that with my rlm@0: classes and all! More to come! rlm@0: -Princess- rlm@0: rlm@0: rlm@0: rlm@0:
