Gundam Wing Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ If Love was Real ❯ Prussian Blue ( Chapter 5 )

Hotaru felt her breath catch in her throat. Before her stood a creation of both the Devil and God... He seemed wild and untamed. Mysterious, with his black clothing… he wore simple black tank top, black pants, and black boots. His hair was untamable as his dark brown bangs stubbornly fell over his face, looking both soft and wild.

But it was his eyes that caught her. Deep swirling orbs of cold and impassive blue. It seemed to be border with some sort of dark purple and reminded Hotaru of the color of the sky when it is midnight. They were haunting and mesmerizing. His eyes seemed as though they could see into someone's soul and break even the strongest and thickest shields, the secrets and self-consciousness of a person's heart. His eyes shifted from the guys then back to her. The silence was almost unnerving.

"Uh…Heero. This is Hotaru, the girl that I told you was going to get the job." Duo said and looked at Heero then laughed, while shaking his head. "Man, you gotta stop doing that. We'll lose all our employees that way!"

Heero looked at Hotaru again. "I see…" He looked back at Duo "You are responsible to show her the store supplies and security arrangements…I trust you could do that."

"Of course!" Duo looked at Heero with a confused look on his face. "Heero aren't you going to say `hi' or something?"

"I'm leaving." Heero said and left.

After Heero had left Hotaru mentally let out a sigh. "Is he always like that?"

"You have to mind him…" Quatre said his eyes soften even more. "Heero had been through more then the rest of us. His past has left him with a mental scar."

"Oh." Hotaru looked back at the closed door, Heero Yuy…this could get interesting.

"So Hotaru let me show you the storage room!" Duo happily said and pushed Hotaru towards the end of the shop.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Heero Yuy stopped a block away from the shop. He shook his head and let out a sigh…just when he thought he gotten away from it all. He had just been transferred from Japan to America about a month ago.

At the age of twenty-two he and the guys were one of the top CIA agents in America. Lady Une, their boss, had sent them back because she wanted them to rest and work on another mission. They have been working and the case file No. Sa06. The case was about a person smart enough to slip past the Japan government and hack into one of the most important files, stealing the information then blowing up the whole base. All evidence were lost. And the files in question… can never be replaced. The techniques that the person uses were so unique that even he couldn't figure it out! He was frustrated that they never caught the person. They have worked twenty-four, seven on the case and not one lead had brought them closer to a suspect. All the leads were dead ends.

Oddly enough it appears that the person had suddenly dropped off the face of the Earth. Not one base in Japan had been seriously hacked into…sure there were some hacking but those where easily traced back and some point the hackers where arrested. But what happened to the one the intrigued him so? Did the hacker got caught? Or did the hacker meet his end?

And now, he meets Hotaru. That girl seemed to be keeping a secret form them. A dark one too. Tomoe that name seems familiar somehow. That girl…the way her violet eyes started at him…shaking his head once again he continued his way home.

"And that's basically the rundown of the whole entire shop!" Duo said.

"Wow…this place is bigger then I thought!" Hotaru murmured.

"Yep…and it's about time we close the shop too." Quatre called from the front of the store.

"OK We'll be right here!" Duo shouted back. "We better get going."

"Isn't it kind of early to close the shop?" Hotaru asked as she walked to the front. "It's only twelve…"

"No we just close early cause it's a weekend and we have places to go and people to meet." Duo said with another grin.

"Oh."

"Hey Hotaru…" Duo said.

"Yeah."

"Are you sure you want this job?" Duo asked as he eyes shone something like…Worry?

"Yeah. Of course." Hotaru answered. "Why?"

"You see this is basically one of the first time…a girl had taken the job…"

"So you're saying that just because I'm a girl I shouldn't take the job?!" Hotaru felt her anger flare up.

"NO! No it's nothing like that…It just that in the past the guys who have taken the job…well they all quit because of injury." Duo said. " It's just that I really don't want you to get hurt, you know. Things could happen and as you figured it out already…not much people come here and if you get hurt no one will be here to help you."

"Duo. Don't worry ok? I can take care of myself…and…thanks for caring." Hotaru answered, `Did Duo have feelings towards her?'

"Come on you two." Quatre said from the doorway.

"Coming."

"How did it go?" Mina asked.

"Ok I guess." Hotaru answered as she entered her room and opened the windows so the warm sunlight would spill into the darken room.

"Oy…Hotaru you must like black, white and purple a lot…" Mina examined her room with rounded eyes.

True the room did look a bit…on the darker side of things. Its walls were painted deep lavender with white border while scarves of black and dark purple hung off the large sliver windows. The carpet was purple so dark one would have thought it was black. In the room the four-poster king-size bed was dark cherry mahogany and the same colored scarves that hung from the windows hung from the post and made a canopy. Inside the white sheets was one of the few objects in the room that were light colored.

"Yeah I guess I do…" Hotaru mumbled a bit. As she walked towards her metallic black CSLV3(1) and switched it on.

"I guess lunch will be served in like awhile. Ok?" Mina asked from the doorway.

"Ok. Thanks for telling me."

As Mina closed the door Hotaru had walked towards the balcony and sat in the small comfortable chair, laptop in hand. Sinking into the chair's soft cushion she began to click and clack on the keyboard her fingers weaved across the keys, as her eyes scanned the articles she was reading at an amazing speed. After awhile she began to feel the doldrums of the task and decided that it was ok to take a break. She sat there as the sun's invisible warm rays caress her face. It sent tingling of the warmth on her skin while the wind tease her hair and contrasted with the sun's warmth making it both cold and warm at the same time. For a time she sat there enjoying the warmth of the sun…but something bothered her. For every time she closed her eyes, she would see piercing blues eyes... As though it was burned into her memory.

^^^^^

CSLV3 I guess it's a VERY advance laptop…
