rlm@2: Title: Dreams That Won't Disappear When I Open My Eyes, Chapter 1 rlm@2: Author: Princess rlm@2: Author's Email: hime_sama@email.com rlm@2: Rating: Hentai rlm@2: rlm@2: Moshimoshi everyone. I'm sorry this is a week late... but my rlm@2: "creative flow" got quite impended for awhile. I'm debating making a webpage rlm@2: to put my stories on that will be updated more quickly than ASMR, but don't rlm@2: count on it. ^-^ And one more reminder- this story is based on both anime rlm@2: and manga, so there will be chunks from both. Enough rambling. On with the rlm@2: story. - Princess rlm@2: rlm@2: Disclaimers: There's a reason why there's a banana in my ear. I'm trying to rlm@2: lure the monkey out of my head. rlm@2: rlm@2: ----------- rlm@2: rlm@2: rlm@2: "Dreams that won't disappear when I open my eyes.." rlm@2: Chapter One rlm@2: ----------- rlm@2: rlm@2: "Hotaru-chan!!" rlm@2: rlm@2: ChibiMoon's eyes were wide as she saw, for the first time in rlm@2: forever, it seemed, the raven-haired soldier of Saturn. Strange glass youma rlm@2: had attacked... and had captured all of the inner senshi. ChibiUsa had rlm@2: thought they wouldn't win... when the Outer Senshi had shown up. With rlm@2: Saturn. rlm@2: rlm@2: "Hello, ChibiUsa-chan.." It sounded so light, so formal, but a rlm@2: shiver tremored down the pink-haired girl's spine at the melodic sound of rlm@2: Hotaru's voice. She could never tire of hearing it. rlm@2: rlm@2: "World Shaking!" "Deep Submerge!" "Dead Scream.." Sailoruranus, rlm@2: Sailorneptune, and Sailorpluto shattered the demons that appeared to be made rlm@2: out of mirrors. But as they began to re-form, Sailormoon and the inner rlm@2: soldiers began to ask questions... when Saturn spoke. rlm@2: rlm@2: "A crisis is approaching the Princess. We must give her our power." rlm@2: With that, she simply bowed her head and a deep purple aura suddenly rlm@2: radiated from her. The other guardian soldiers quickly followed suit.... and rlm@2: to ChibiUsa's amazement, Sailormoon called out "Moon Eternal... Make-up!" rlm@2: and transformed into a new uniform with.... wings?! rlm@2: rlm@2: "This is Sailormoon's true form," Hotaru spoke once more. "I have rlm@2: come to tell you this." rlm@2: rlm@2: ----------- rlm@2: rlm@2: Those words echoed in ChibiUsa's mind now. Brief words, yes, but rlm@2: everything Hotaru had said was played over and over in her thoughts now as rlm@2: she readied for bed. She looked at herself solemnly in the mirror as she rlm@2: slowly brushed out her candy-pink hair. rlm@2: rlm@2: What was going on? What is the new danger? Is Usagi in trouble? How rlm@2: did Hotaru get big again so fast? Does she still.... care? All of these rlm@2: questions rampaged unanswered in ChibiUsa's heart, and with a weary sigh she rlm@2: turned off her lamp and slid into bed. Despite her troubled thoughts, she rlm@2: fell into a deep, dreamless sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. rlm@2: rlm@2: Hours later, something woke ChibiUsa. She didn't know what, or why, rlm@2: she just sat with her eyes half-open, staring at the bedspread though not rlm@2: really focusing on it. The Sandman's clouded dreams still hovered over her rlm@2: mind, and she half-smiled, content to linger where she was rather than think rlm@2: about why she was awake in the middle of the night. rlm@2: rlm@2: But this was short-lived, for a shadow fell over the bunny-dappled rlm@2: bedspread, and slowly she blinked and looked up toward the window. Hotaru rlm@2: sat on the open windowsill, the moonlight reflecting purple on her raven rlm@2: hair. Her slender body was clothed in a simple white cotton dress that was rlm@2: thin enough to pass for a nightgown. As her eyes met ChibiUsa's, she smiled. rlm@2: "You're awake." rlm@2: rlm@2: "Hotaru-chan," ChibiUsa mumbled as her mind cleared. "Hotaru-chan... rlm@2: why... how long have you been here?" She blushed a bit, realizing Hotaru rlm@2: could have been watching her for some time. rlm@2: rlm@2: "For a while," Hotaru answered noncommitally. rlm@2: rlm@2: "What... were you doing?" Chibiusa asked, slowly sitting up in bed. rlm@2: As she did, the thick strap of the white tank-top she wore slid down her rlm@2: shoulder, causing the pinky fuzzy rabbit emblazoned on the front to wrinkle. rlm@2: rlm@2: rlm@2: "Watching you." Slowly Hotaru unfolded her legs that had been pulled rlm@2: to her chest and stood, walking gracefully to sit on the edge of ChibiUsa's rlm@2: bed, one leg pulled beneath her as she faced the pink-haired girl. "It's rlm@2: nice to be able to do that again. It's been so long." rlm@2: rlm@2: "I know," ChibiUsa replied. She smiled suddenly and, to Hotaru's rlm@2: surprise, threw her arms about her, laying her head on her chest as she rlm@2: pulled her close. "I've missed you, Hota-chan." rlm@2: rlm@2: Blushing, Hotaru smiled brightly even as she felt a bit of moistness rlm@2: build up in her eyes. Returning the embrace, she murmured, "I've missed you rlm@2: too, ChibiUsa-chan.." rlm@2: rlm@2: For a few long moments they stayed in that position, lost to the rlm@2: world. But ChibiUsa suddenly noticed that the softness beneath her cheek was rlm@2: Hotaru's breasts... and that realization prompted her to sit up straight as rlm@2: an arrow, reddish eyes wide, cheeks aflame. rlm@2: rlm@2: "ChibiUsa...?" Hotaru's eyes blinked open and then she hesitated rlm@2: when she saw the look on her friend's face. They both sat, once more frozen rlm@2: as a dozen emotions seemed to pass between them. It was as if they were rlm@2: linked... both feeling the love, and confusion, and passion that the other rlm@2: felt. rlm@2: rlm@2: Hotaru's eyes suddenly closed and she leaned forward, pulling rlm@2: ChibiUsa in close. For a moment ChibiUsa's eyes widened and she inhaled rlm@2: sharply, but the moment Hotaru's lips touched hers a sense of calm and peace rlm@2: flowed through her, and her eyes slowly closed. rlm@2: rlm@2: It was like no kiss she had ever recieved before. True, she had only rlm@2: been kissed once... but it was not like this. Everything in the world seemed rlm@2: to be wiped away and the only thing she knew was Hotaru... her touch, her rlm@2: scent, her warmth, her love. It was overwhelming... it felt like the time at rlm@2: the beach when a wave had crashed over her head and taken her under, rlm@2: disorienting her until she didn't know how to come back up. But this time, rlm@2: she wasn't sure she -wanted- to come back up. rlm@2: rlm@2: After only a moment, though it had seemed like forever, they broke rlm@2: apart and sat with their noses only inches from each other, staring into rlm@2: each other's eyes. Each wondered what the other was thinking, what to do rlm@2: next. It was ChibiUsa who spoke first. rlm@2: rlm@2: "Hotaru-chan," ChibiUsa whispered breathlessly. Their was a strange rlm@2: burning light in her eyes that Hotaru couldn't quite place. "Hotaru... don't rlm@2: leave. Stay here tonight." rlm@2: rlm@2: The implications of that statement took a moment to reach Hotaru's rlm@2: mind. Stay... the night? She knew ChibiUsa didn't just mean an innocent rlm@2: sleep-over. The thought that -ChibiUsa- would suggest such a thing astounded rlm@2: her. "C-ChibiUsa.." she stammered, "...are you, I mean.... are you rlm@2: sure...?" rlm@2: rlm@2: A firm nod was her reply. "Don't leave, Hota-chan." rlm@2: rlm@2: Hotaru blinked, watching her in silence for a moment. Right and rlm@2: wrong danced in her mind- what should she do? But in the end, it was her rlm@2: emotions, her heart that won. rlm@2: rlm@2: "Okay." rlm@2: ---------- rlm@2: rlm@2: That's it for now, minna. Sorry I had to give another cliff-hanger, rlm@2: but I wanted to finish it for this week and it's hard to do that with my rlm@2: classes and all! More to come! rlm@2: -Princess- rlm@2: rlm@2: rlm@2: rlm@2:
