Forbidding Love Author's Note: I wanted to make a character that has a big background. I also wanted Hotaru to have someone that she likes and could love. They both have powers, Hotaru's healing and Lex's power of the Dark Moon. As the story goes on, Lex also has something in him, but you will find that out in the story. --- Background: The story takes place in Sailormoon S, where it's about how there's always someone you fall in love with. This story gives a new character called Lex. Lex comes in the series in Sailormoon R. He was a slave for the Wiseman and went against the Sailor scouts but when Wiseman was destroyed Lex became free and was able to do whatever he wanted. Lex became very good friends with Rini. Lex is scared of girls but can befriend a child very easy (He's very good with kids). Now Hotaru comes along in the story and it is about her and Lex. I better let you read the story instead of spoiling it. Well on with the Story. --- Act 1 -Good Friends The story takes place at a park where Rini and Hotaru are having a picnic. Rini: "Hotaru, are you still lonely at school?" Hotaru: "Yeah...*sigh* if only I do not have my healing ability...things might be different… but at school, everyone is either scared of me or picks on me." Rini: "That's trouble! * thinking of a way to cheer her up* Hey! I have a really kind friend called Lex; who may not care if you got powers or not, in fact, he may even like them! I think he'll really like to meet you too. Hotaru: "How did you know him?" Rini started giving a strange look because she couldn't say he's from the Dark Moon. Hotaru doesn't know a lot about the Sailor Scouts either so Rini wanted to make sure that no one knew about Lex's past. Rini: "Well... I can't really say, but I want you to meet him." Hotaru: "You really think he won't mind? I mean...I'm different from the others and I'm scared that.. Rini: "Don't worry ^_^, he's really nice. I'll go get him now!" Hotaru: "Now? Where does he live?" Rini: (I can't tell her he lives in an invisible Dark Moon ship, so I better make something up quick)- "He lives near my school, which isn't that far. I'll go get him for you now, it won't be long." Hotaru: "Uhm..Rini, it's ok, really." Rini: "That's why you gotta meet him now! I'll be fine. I won't take long. You stay here to look after the food." Hotaru: "Okay." * smiles * *** Rini started heading towards her school. The only way to contact Lex was to use a Com Crystal that Lex gave her. Lex wanted to make sure that if Rini was ever in trouble, she could use the Com Crystal to get him to help her. When no one was around, Rini used the Com Crystal and Lex flew out of his Dark Moon Ship that was right above the school. Lex: "Is something wrong Rini? Or did you come to find a friend to talk to?" Rini: "I would like you to meet a friend of mine. Her name is Hotaru." Lex: "???" * surprised * Rini: "Hotaru is a really sweet girl but because somehow she developed a healing ability, no one wants to befriend her...I thought it would be nice if she could meet you. Would you? Please?" Lex: " I ..err..would love to. If she is your friend, she is my friend too." Rini: "Thank You. I'm sure you guys will become great friends." *** Rini takes Lex to the park to meet Hotaru. When they arrived at the park, Lex asked: "Which one is Hotaru?" Rini pointed to the black-hair teen under a tree. "Over there with the basket." Lex stopped and starting thinking: (I thought she was Rini's age... ahhh...but I'm here. Lex, you gotta stop running away from girls... She doesn't look bad...but what is it that I feel? There's a strange power within her body... maybe it's the healing power that Rini was talking about...) Rini looked at Lex and asked: "Lex? What's wrong? Lets go meet Hotaru." Lex: "Ah. Sure." They walked over to the tree where Hotaru sat smelling a flower. Hotaru looked over to Rini and was surprised. She thought that Rini's friend was also Rini's age but was in fact, he was about the same age as her. Rini: "Hotaru, this is Lex. Lex meet Hotaru." Lex: "Hi, I am Lex." Hotaru:"...uhmm...hello.. *Amazed * Rini: "What's wrong Hotaru?" Hotaru: "I thought your friend was about your age Rini." Lex: "Funny. I thought that you were Rini's age. It makes you wonder if she has any friends her own age." Rini: "HEY! I do have friends." Lex: "I was just joking. Uhm... hey Hotaru, I heard from Rini that you have healing abilities, is that true?" Hotaru: *shy and worried * "I uhm...yeah... *looking down*. (I knew this would happen.) Are you going to make fun at me?" Lex: "Why would I? I don't care if you the power to heal, I think it's nice you can help people in need." Hotaru was feeling comfortable when had Lex said those words. Hotaru: "Than.k.. you..." Lex: "So what do you have to eat?" Rini: "There's cookies, strawberries, and bread." Lex: "Not much but at least you got STRAWBERRIES!!!" Hotaru:"? Do you like strawberries?" Lex started to munch down on the strawberries like a monkey in banana heaven. Hotaru and Rini started giggling. Lex: "Who made the cookies?" Rini: "You can thank Hotaru for the cookies" Lex: "The cookies are very good." Hotaru: "Why, thank you." *** It seems like they're having a good time, but things go bad sometimes if you're with a dark moon. Another Dark Moon Space Ship in space is heading towards Earth. A Dark moon: "Sure Drafex! The sensers are right! Wiseman has failed and made the vessel to roam in Earth." Drafex: "Can you pinpoint where the vessel is?" A Dark moon: "I can't pinpoint him but he's somewhere in that large island sir." Drafex: "So this is where the so called Sailor Scouts are..." A Dark moon: "Should we get ready to battle them?" Drafex: "No. Our mission is to awake Lex. We don't need anyone in the way." A Dark moon: "Yes sir." A Dark moon: "Sir!! We found the space ship that the Wiseman was using!!" Drafex: "Ok! Take a unit take over the ship." A Dark moon: "Yes sir." Drafex: "Remember. The vessel has the same powers of Lex, so be careful!" *** Back in Japan, the three were heading home. They stop at Rini's house first. Rini: "Well, bye guys." Hotaru: "Bye Rini." Lex: "See you later." Rini goes in the house. Lex:"(Ok Lex... ask her..") Hotaru: "Well I better getting home now. Bye." Lex: "Bye.(STUIPD!!! Come on Lex... Be a man!!)...h.e..yy.hey! Hotaru: "What is it?" Lex: "Can..I take....you home???" Hotaru:"...why...I guess." Lex: "Ok." Hotaru and Lex start going toward Hotaru's house. Hotaru: "I must say that you're the first boyfriend... I MEAN A FRIEND THAT'S A BOY..." Lex:"(rrriiiiggghhtt) Well, thank you..." Hotaru:"...(What am I feeling?)" Lex: "So what do you do?" Hotaru: "What do you mean?" Lex: "I mean is what do you do all day?" Hotaru: "Well, I study most of the time, hopefully to become a doctor." Lex: "Since you have the ability to heal, I thought there was no need to study, but that's just how I see it. Hotaru: "Well I still want to learn just in case I can't heal them. Besides, I need a good education to become a doctor." Lex:"...." Hotaru"..." Hotaru: "Well that's my house." Lex: "It's a nice house." Hotaru: "Thank you..." Lex:"..." Hotaru: "I..." Hotaru and Lex just looks at each other and their heads start coming closer. Lex: "I.." Lex: "I got to go. Bye." Lex just runs off." Hotaru:"...bye..." Around the schoolyard, Lex is blushing. Lex: "That's.. the first time..." Lex:"..." Lex:" Hotaru..I guess I like her." Lex: "huh??!" Lex: "I sense!!!" Lex: "My ship..." Lex: "It..can't..be them..." *** Story By Derek Lezard2002@homail.com Editor: Cammy cammyii@hotmail.com This story is combined with both the efforts from Derek and Cammy.
