Repercussion of the past

This is dedicated to the reviewer Lily who wanted me to update and pushed my mind to the inspiration to do so and THIS DOES HAVE A PLOT! It will be getting there soon coughnextchaptercough

(A/N: Note I'm combining some aspects of the manga with the anime though the Sailor Moon aspects will be mostly anime.)

Hotaru looked at the wall in front of her, it was covered in various class posters, and she sighed and went back to taking notes. Her page of notes was a combination of kanji and English. Hotaru was in English and they were discussing several themes and their meanings, Hotaru was talking notes. Mr. Daniels was Hotaru's favorite teacher so far, the middle aged man was open minded, understanding, and still enthusiastic about his subject after 10 years of teaching.

Hotaru smiled it was Friday today! She was happy by the fact that today she would be missing Physical Education/PE or to some students 'Institutionalized Ways of Embarrassing You due to you Lack of Abilities'. Of course PE was just fine by everyone's standards. They were going to have a guest speaker during 3rd period; the entire student population would be present.

Hotaru kept writing not really wanting English to end as she enjoyed this class and due to the fact that it was now a fact that Rita thought her to be a parasite. Rita had come across a most unfortunate accident yesterday after she tried to embarrass her.

Flashback

Hotaru was walking to the gym's main entrance, most girls were still outside going to go in when the bell was about to ring. She wore a skirt and a blouse, both light in color. She spotted Jean and Kitty talking to each other.

Rita was standing next to the door way but a smirk plastered on her visage. She insulted Hotaru, nothing like making enemies along with friends she always said, at least implied to herself.

As she opened the door she heard a rattling, looking up she spotted a bucket heading toward her. Rita had a smile plastered all on her face, brown eyes gleefully sparkling.

Hotaru felt a surge of power around her and the bucket had somehow flown to Rita who was now covered in pinkish fluid head to torso, some of her legs splashed. Half the students laughed and a smug looking Jean smirked.

Hotaru was standing there confused wondering what had happened.

End of Flash

Hotaru sighed as the bell rang and the students headed toward the gym for the presentation. It was newer in certain areas and she wondered what had occurred to make it so.

Hotaru looked around for someone she knew, there in a corner of the first row was Rita, her dark hair now a bright pink with splotches of black, her skin were visible with a hue of pink, her face being most prominent. Hotaru was not glad that it had not fallen on her, she wondered how long it took to wash out. Hotaru suddenly had a brief image of her with pink hair, brighter than that of Chibi Usa. She hid her smile as she passed Rita.

Hotaru was about to head with the students form the institute when she was yanked into a seat by a girl, her name was Carol Smith, a girl in Hotaru's orchestra class. She had befriended Hotaru right away.

Carol was a petite girl with a slightly plump frame; she had sharp brown eyes that were reinforced by her dark framed glasses. Her hair was thin, short, and black held up in a loose bun. She was nice but had a sarcastic sense that came with a slow temper. Hotaru had liked her immediately.

"Hotaru sit here with us." Carol said as she forced Hotaru to sit. Hotaru complied as the girl sat her between Janice and Lyn'da. Lyn'da scooted over for her to sit .

They started talking amongst themselves until they were quieted by the teachers. The principle was standing at a podium, "Settle down!" He called as the students were quieting down. "We have a guest speaker, the government has ordered that we try and expand ourselves in understanding the differences occurring now in others." He said through clenched teeth. "I'd like to introduce Hiroki Adams."

Hotaru thought that was a very unusual name. The man came forward and introduced himself, he had an accent he was definitely Japanese and did not appear to have a trace of white in him. How did he get the surname Adams? Upon looking at him Hotaru had a sense of deja-vu.

He introduced himself as one of the workers in genetics in one of the major corporations in the U.S. He was trying to talk about accepting mutants as it was not their fault they were that way a genetic accident etc. Some of the students were firing insults at him for being a 'mutant-lover'. Hotaru had a memory of Sestuna telling her about people hating people of different colored skin and races in the past in the U.S. They had called each other names.

Her mind drifted to that memory.

A 'twelve' year old Hotaru walked down the street to her face perplexed that man had done something she'd only seen youma do but he wasn't one. She held her hand out staring at the kitten in her arms.

Hotaru had seen a man throw the kitten in the air vent, then leave it walking away quickly. She immediately went to it. She heard the creature meowing in distress. She vainly tried to reach it but was way to short for it. She started looking around for help, the street was deserted this time of night, most of the shops were closed and the few customers were inside. She slid against the wall nearly in tears.

A man had come out of the store, he was in appearance normal in every aspect, and he wore the usual outfit that normal people did. Seeing her he slowly made his way to the distressed pre-teen. "Excuse me, are you alright?"

Hotaru looked up at the man, she immediately saw that he was too short and a few tears slid out of her eyes. "There's a kitten stuck." She pointed to the vent above her were a faint mewls of distress could be heard. "A man threw it up there! I can't even help it!"

The man seeing her distress tried to reassure her. "Don't worry I'll get it out." Before she could say that he was too short she saw him levitate a bit of the ground and aim his hands to the vent the kitten's cries became louder. The kitten came into view sliding in the middle of the vent. He lowered down and handed it to her she couldn't grab it she was too shocked.

The man clearly was now questioning his actions as he had spotted a couple that stared at him in fear after they had come out of a café. They shook their and stared at them, then a small smile crept on their lips as they saw the kitten. The couple turned in the opposite direction and left.

"How..." She stared in amazement and shock.

"It's an ability I was born with." He said looking at her waiting for her to come out of her daze. She grabbed the kitten swiftly and stared wide eyed. He was looking crestfallen. "Many people have are born different child."

"I've never seen anyone do anything like that." She had only seen monster and different beings with powers that weren't senshi. Then she thought about her own ability.

"Just remember I'm a person too." He was about to leave when she called out.

"Thank you!" He turned and saw her smiling, a smile appeared on his face and he left with a nod.

Hotaru walked into the apartment she was living in. She was greeted by Setsuna who frowned at the kitten in her arms. "We can't have pets here Hotaru." The elder said smiling. Hotaru knew that and shook her head.

"Sestuna-mama this kitten was in trouble..."She proceeded to tell her the events. "Do you know why the man could do what he could?"

Setsuna smiled and started explaining mutants and the reason that they had their abilities.

"They-"

Her thoughts were cut short when she heard a "YOU!" in Japanese. She turned and stared at the source. The Adams was staring at her in fear and fury. "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" She looked at him confused.

"It's just not possible!" He yelled in English. Many looked at them in shock. How did the two know each other?

Hotaru frowned and started speaking to him calmly in Japanese. "Excuse me but I think your confusing me with somebody el-"

He let out a bitter laugh, "Are you not Hotaru Tomoe?" He said in English. She nodded confused. His fear seemed to increase. "What's wrong Hotaru-chan don't you remember your old classmate?" He said in Japanese his eyes not leaving hers.

Memories started to flood her, her appearing in school, her friends and acquaintances suddenly afraid, Mistress 9. Hiroki.... Hiroki had come to school with a broken arm and leg other injuries bandaged. Hiroki Sanada and his mother had moved to America not long after. His mother must have married someone named Adams and he took his surname.

"Sanada-kun?" He slowly nodded. "That wasn't me exactly, I must explain later." She said in a low voice. In Japanese she had said it and only a few people understood. They were confused but he seemed eager to accept and in a professional voice apologized and continued his presentation.

The students of the Xavier Institute were looking at them curiously but let it be after all who didn't' have their own secrets?

Hotaru waited after school, Hiroki was standing outside in more casual clothing. Hotaru had been bombarded by questions after they presentation had finished. She had blamed it on confusion of identity with some else that wasn't existing anymore. She said she did know him and an incident had destroyed their previous relationship.

Hiroki was staring at him looking at her anxiously. They walked to a café that was near by, Hiroki sat across from her in a corner after they ordered they began.

Hiroki stared in shock as she gave a slightly edited version of the truth. She had been possessed, she had turned back into a child, she had been saved by the senshi. "And your father?" Slightly edited. He lost his memory, he had regained most of it and took care of her when her guardians allowed it, and he stayed in her life. He left and said that her life was too odd telling her to email him so that if possible they could see if their friendship could re-grow.

Hotaru walked to the institute and frowned; her mind trying to forget forgotten memories. She sighed and bit her lip, what was next...

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Looking confused she reached into her pocket for a device that she hadn't seen for years. Pushing a button, the small screen flashed to life with an image of Pluto. "Saturn, we need to talk, come to your palace immedietly."
