Hello, how is everyone? This is another one of my short stories, it's Hotaru, it's rating is PG. As always sailor moon is not mine it belongs to Naoko Takeuchi, but remember this story is mine. Hotaru A lonely girl with raven hair sits alone on a bench in a large park in Tokyo, Japan. The girl's name is Hotaru. Hotaru is fourteen and she is in the 8th grade. Hotaru is a very special girl; she has a special talent. Hotaru can heal people with her touch. Another thing about Hotaru is she has died before and then came back as a baby, because of this she now has great pain because that happened. Hotaru now sites on the bench and cries; she does this because the person she loves most in life does not love her back. 'It's no wonder I wandered here' Hotaru thought, 'this is the place we met.' Hotaru then heard footsteps coming toward her. She looked up to see Chibi usa. Chibi usa saw Hotaru and frowned, her pink hair then covered the frown as the wind blew. "I'd thought you'd be here." Chibi usa said. "I didn't come here on purpose," Hotaru said, "It just seemed right." "This is the place we first met." Chiba usa said, "You've always liked the park." "You used to always want to play in the park." Hotaru said with a slight quaver in her voice from all the crying. "That's when I was little." Chiba usa said with a bit of an angry tone. "I was 15 when I first met you in the park, you were 10." "Yes and then you came back as a baby after you died and then grew up with me." Chiba usa said finishing Hotaru's sentence. "Why do you hate me now?" Hotaru finally asked. Chiba usa opened her mouth and then closed it trying to think of a way to tell her ex-best friend why she was now too afraid to be her friend. "I don't hate you." Chibi usa finally said, "It's just that I can't be your friend anymore." "Why?" Hotaru asked as she started to cry again. Chibi usa looked at the crying girl. She felt bad for making her former friend cry but Chibi usa was just too scared that her best friend had a crush on her. "I'm going now." Chiba usa said softly. Chibi usa then turned away and walked down the path that leads out of the park. Hotaru did not look up but only hugged her-self tightly to stop the crying. When Hotaru arrived at her house Setsuna Meio, a tall fashion designer, was home, Setsuna was sort of a nanny to Hotaru when was little. Because of that Hotaru called her "Setsuna-mama". In the kitchen making diner was the see green haired Michiru Kaio. Michiru was also very motherly to Hotaru and so Hotaru called her "Michiru-mama". Hotaru said hello to her "mothers" and went up stairs to her room to do home work. Hotaru was a very good student and never missed an assignment, but today was different she could not concentrate on her work all she could think of was chibi Usagi and how it all started. It was two days ago. Hotaru was over Chibi usa's house which is also Usagi Tsukino's house. The two girls were working on a project together; the project was for the school festival, which had now been canceled due to a hurricane. Hotaru was painting a sign for there group's booth. Chibi usa then said how happy she was that they were always able to be together. Hotaru then agreed and said she never wanted to be apart, Hotaru agreed gain. Chibi usa then said when she got married to Heilus that she wanted Hotaru to be her maid of honor. Hotaru then went blank she was in shock that Chibi usa wanted to marry a man let alone a man who was also a flying horse. When Chibi usa asked Hotaru what was wrong Hotaru would not tell for she was afraid that Chibi usa wouldn't like her anymore. Unfortunately as always Chibi usa got her way and found out. She was appalled at the fact Hotaru liked her like that and asked her to leave. After Hotaru left Chibi usa's house she felt horrible, all the times Chibi usa said she loved Hotaru it was just friendship. Hotaru then thought 'damn, I should of known. Why was I so stupid to think anyone out side of my family would like me? Especially another girl. I should have listened to Michiru-mama about what she said and not tell anyone about my feelings toward other girls. Michiru-mama said it would only cause pain like it did with her and Haruka-papa.' Hotaru then walked home and didn't see Chibi usa till after the hurricane at the park. After Hotaru struggled with her homework and finally finished she went down stairs to sit and watch TV with Setsuna. The news was on the TV; it was talking about the great explosion the night before. Setsuna notice the very despondent look on Hotaru's face. Setsuna thought it was because Chibi usa was leaving the next day for the future. "Is every thing alright?" Setsuna asked. "I'm fine." Hotaru answered. "Are you sure?" Setsuna asked. "I'm positive." Hotaru said gritting her teeth. "Really?" Setsuna again questioned, "You do not look alright." "I'm fine." Hotaru softly shouted and left the living room in an angry fit. Setsuna just looked at Hotaru stomp up the stairs and slam the door to her room. The doorbell then rang. Setsuna went to answer the door. Standing in the doorway was Haruka a tall manly looking woman with short sandy blond hair. Haruka had flowers in her hand. "Who are those for?" Setsuna asked. "These are for Hotaru." Haruka replied. "Then I've guess you heard that Chibi usa is leaving tomorrow night for the future." " Ya? is Hotaru very depressed?" Haruka asked. "She is but she won't admit it." Setsuna replied. "I'm going up to see her then." Haruka told Setsuna. Setsuna watched Haruka go up the stairs to Hotaru's room. Haruka knocked Hotaru's door. Haruka heard a very soft 'come in' from Hotaru. Haruka opened he door to see Hotaru laying face down on her bed crying. Haruka felt very sad for her. She understood how it felt to lose some one you loved. Haruka sat down on the bed and pat Hotaru's back. "It'll be okay." Haruka told Hotaru. "No it won't!" Hotaru blubbered. "I know you'll miss Chibi usa, but she'll come back some day probably." Haruka said trying her best to comfort her "daughter". "And so what if she does?" Hotaru questioned. Haruka did not know how to answer this question. Haruka was totally confused bye what Hotaru had asked. "What do you mean?" Haruka asked, "I thought you would be happy if chibi usa came back?" "It doesn't matter, she won't come back again ever." Hotaru stated. "I'm sure she'll visit some time." Haruka comforted. "Well she won't want to see me." Hotaru said, her voice was slightly muffled by the pillow her head was sunk in to. "What do you mean by that?" Haruka asked. "Nothing. Nothing at all." Hotaru said as she lifted her head out of the pillow. Haruka placed the flowers on Hotaru's dresser and left the room. Hotaru looked at the flowers she then picked them up and held them and said softly "Thank you Haruka-papa" Hotaru then again began to cry. Hotaru did not come down for dinner that night. Hotaru just lay in her room surrounded by her lamps and cried and then she fell asleep. In the morning at Hotaru's home Michiru was making blueberry pancakes, which were Hotaru's favorite breakfast food with orange juice (and never milk). Haruka was sitting at the round kitchen table reading the racing results while Setsuna read the world news and drank her green tea. Hotaru finally came down from her room groggy and half-asleep. "How are you?" Michiru asked "Hun?" Hotaru said groggily, "I guess I'm fine." "Did you sleep well?" Setsuna asked looking up from the paper. "Suppose so." Hotaru again answered in a tired voice. "Are you feeling any better?" Haruka asked. Hotaru looked at her family she wondered why anyone actually cared. Hotaru's eyes began to fill with tears. Michiru ran over to Hotaru and asked, "Sweetie what's wrong?" "Chi?Chibi usaa h hates me now." Hotaru finally said. Michiru hugged The crying girl and patted her back. "Was that what was wrong last night?" Haruka asked. "Uh hun" Hotaru said as she sniffled. "Why does Chibi usa Hate you?" Setsuna asked. "She, she hates me c?cause I love her." Hotaru blurted out. The group of older women looked at each other and then back at their "daughter". "That doesn't make sense." Michiru thought. "What do you mean by that? Setsuna asked. "I?I told chi Chibi usa that I loved her when she asked what was wrong the other day." Hotaru explained as she stopped crying. "Why don't you tell us from the beginning what happened." Michiru suggested. Hotaru agreed and told Her "parents" What had happened. Hotaru and her family sat around their table in the living room consoling Hotaru about the situation and how she should go about it. Michiru holds Hotaru while Haruka tells Her about how she and Michiru had a hard time when they were in school (which really isn't too long ago and they still are but it's college.). The story made Hotaru fell better and Hotaru finally was calm. Setsuna finally decided to talk. Setsuna suggested to Hotaru that she would talk to Chibi usa and tell her that Hotaru was sorry she made her fell upset and explain she meant no harm in what she said. Hotaru agreed to this and then went upstairs to take a shower while Setsuna went to talk to Chibi usa. Usagi lay in bed moaning something about "Her Mamo- chan" while Chibi usa was getting ready for school. "Usagi get up!" Chibi usa shouted, "Your going to be late for school!" "I don't want to go to school." Usagi whined, "It's not fair. It's not fair at all! I'm a senior, I should get to sleep in late." "Just because you're in your last year of school does not mean you get to sleep in late." Chibi usa scolded. "But but?" Usagi said. There was a knock at the door. The two girls look at the door and turned looked at each other and looked back. "Hello? Who is it?" Usagi asked in a very tiered voice. "It's me Setsuna Meio." Setsuna said through the door. "Pu'u!" Chibi usa exclaimed, "Come in. Why have you come to see me so early?" "I know it's early but I promised someone I'd talk to you as soon as possible." "Oh, Who?" Chibi usa asked. "Hotaru." Setsuna flatly said. Chibi usa's face turned grim when Setsuna said Hotaru. "What does she have to say to me." Chibi usa asked sounding very rude. "Hotaru asked me to tell you that she did not mean to upset you or fell like you were being hit on by her." Chibi usa did not know what to say; she just looked at Setsuna and hung her head in shame for what she had done to her best friend. "Please tell her I got her message." Chibi usa softly said with her head down, "And I'm sorry for yelling at her and making her leave." Setsuna nodded and left the room and went down the stairs. Chibi usa did not look up but just slumped down on the floor looking very guilty and regretful for what she had done. Usagi look over at Chibi usa totally dumbfounded as to what was going on. "What was Setsuna talking about?" Usagi asked the little pink haired girl on the floor. "She was tell me about Hotaru?" Chiba usa admitted, "And she helped me realize what an as I've been to her." Chibi usa got up walked out of Usagi's room and walk down stairs to leave. 'Bzzz' Usagi's communicator went off. Usagi turned it on and said, "Hello who is this?" "It's me" A voice said, "Rei." "Rei what's wrong?" Usagi asked. "There's a yoma down town hurry." Rei demanded. The communicator went off and Usagi jumped out of bed and raised her hand in the air and said, "Moon eternal power make-up!" Usagi turned in to Eternal sailor moon. Sailor moon then went to run down the stairs after Chibi usa but then realized her parents would see her so Sailor moon was forced to jump out the window. She did this very reluctantly. Once Sailor moon's feet stopped throbbing she got up and ran after Chibi usa. Usagi was forced to run for blocks till she finally caught up with Chibi usa. "Chibi usa wait!" Sailor moon implored. Chibi usa turned around to see her future mother looking more ridiculous than ever running after her with her wings bobbing up and down as she ran. Chibi usa giggled when she saw this. Sailor moon finally stopped running and tried to catch her breath and talk at the same time. "CHI Chibi usa," Sailor moon huffed, "Transform there's a yoma down town." "A yoma!" Chiba usa exclaimed, "There has been one in almost three years." "I know but we have to go." Usagi said once she finished panting. "Moon crisis make-up!" Chibi usa cried. The two odango haired girls ran down the block looking for the others and yell their names. Chibi usa ran around the corner and the stopped suddenly. Usagi bumped in to the stopped Chibi usa and then fell down. "What did you do," usage whined then saw the ten foot yoma in front of her and started to stutter tha tha that." "Look that monster has mars and mercury!" Chibi exclaimed. The monster the dropped mercury and picked up Jupiter then flung her in to a wall. Jupiter did not get back up but just lay on the ground bleeding. Mercury struggled to get over to Jupiter, but was unable to since the monster blocked her path. "Let them go!" Eternal sailor moon cried, "I'm sailor moon; champion of justice defender against evil and in the name of the moon I'll punish you!" "I also will punish you! Because I'm Chiba moon." Chiba moon exclaimed. The monster just laffed or at least what sounded like a laff. "Sailor moon!" Mars pleaded, "Don't come any closer?you'll get killed." It was too late for Mars's warning sailor moon had already stepped over the line that the monster set up to explode on touch. A horrendous explosion went off and sailor moon, Mercury, and Jupiter went flying in to a building. Mars weaken by the fight tried to marshal her strength and kill the yoma. "Fire arrow!" Mars screamed. The fire arrow went straight in to the yoma's face blinding it. The yoma squeezed Mars then let her go dropping her on the ground. A ball of yellow light came the monster lost it's footing. The light was Uranus's world shaking attack. Chibi moon turned around to see the outers. "Pu'u!" Chibi moon exclaimed, "You're here. Thank god!" "We came as soon as we hear." Neptune said. "What happened?" Sailor Saturn asked. Chibi moon looked at sailor Saturn she did not know if it was right to speak to Hotaru or if it was okay and she had forgave Chiba moon. "The yoma totally wasted them," Chibi moon explained, "sailor moon, mercury and Jupiter were blown into a building over there and mars has passed out after blinding the yoma." "Where's Venus?" Uranus asked. "I don't know?" Chibi moon said as she shrugged her shoulders. "I'm up here guys." A weak voice said from up in a tree. The five senshi looked up in to the tree to see Super sailor Venus stuck in a tree. Uranus jumped into the tree to help Venus out but just as they were to get down from the tree the blind stumbling monster crashed in to the tree knocking the tree down and trapped Uranus and Venus under it. "Dead scream!" Super sailor Pluto said and then her attack knocked the monster down and kept it from crushing the two senshi under the tree. "Deep submerge!" Neptune cried out and blasted the monster in to a wall. The monster stood up and gathered it's energy and then sent an electric attack and knocked out Pluto and sent Neptune in to the tree. The monster again went to do its attack but Sailor Saturn jumped in the way and yelled "Silence glaive block!" The electrical attack was bounced back at it's self. "What are we going to do?" Chibi moon asked. "I don't know?" Saturn said, "I can't hold this monster off forever and your pink sugar heart attack isn't effective." Chibi moon thought to her self 'I'm I going to die before I go home to see mama and papa. What can I do! The only hope is Hotaru. But Hotaru can't use her death reborn revolution.' Chibi moon snapped out of her dream state when Hotaru screamed. "Saturn!" Chibi moon cried out. Saturn has been taken by the yoma and now the yoma was trying to steal her life force. "Help me." Hotaru yelled to Chibi moon. Chibi moon struggled to reach Hotaru's out stretched hand, but Chibi moon's arm was too short to reach Hotaru. Hotaru was suddenly snapped back into the yoma's body and was being absorbed. "NO!" Chibi moon whaled. "Chi chi Chibi mmmmoooonn!" Hotaru yelled but the last part was muffled by the yoma. Chibi moon then remembered how she and Hotaru first met and how Hotaru ran after her hat even though it meant causing a fit and for someone she didn't even know. Chibi moon started to cry. "Please don't die Hotaru-chan" Chibi moon softly said with a shaky voice, "I'm still your friend. I'm going to save you!" Chibi moon stood up and took out her heart rod (the one from sm s) and shouted "Pink sugar heart attack!" Unlike the other times pink sugar heart worked the first time, unfortunately it only annoyed the monster. The monster grew stronger on Hotaru's energy and knocked down Chibi moon and broke her heart rod. 'What am I going to do?" Chibi moon thought, 'I don't have any more attacks left.' Chibi moon then picked up the top part of the stick, which was a heart and was about throw it but the heart light up with a pink light. Chibi moon stood up and yelled "pink heart surrender!" gigantic hearts knocked the monster down and kept it lying on the ground. "Give my friend back!" Chibi moon protested. The monster finally gave up Sailor Saturn. Chibi moon ran over to Saturn and hugged her. "I'm so happy you're okay!" Chibi moon excitedly said. "You like me again?" Hotaru asked "Of course I do." Chibi moon answered, "I realized I shouldn't stop being your friend just because of that." Saturn smiled stood up and said "we have to kill this monster and I know how." "Purple death!" Saturn yelled and a thin purple line came out of her glaive and slit the monster in two. "Where did you learn that?" Chibi moon asked. Saturn shrugged her shoulders and the de-transformed. The other senshi woke up and saw Chibi moon and Hotaru together. The senshi were very happy that they were friends again. That's it.
