Foreordained Destiny

Special Chapter:It's A New Year

The fireworks were going off in the distance and had been for a while. The incense had long stopped burning and the head of the shrine had gone to his quarters for the night. His young granddaughter, however, was standing outside bathed in the moonlight and glow of the fireworks in a gentle embrace with her boyfriend.

"Another amazing year with you, even it was our first as Sailor Senshi I suppose that means we could get through anything, doesn't it?"

"Indeed it does, although Arashi-chan, in honor of our first year together as Sailor Senshi, may I have another one of your firsts?"

A blush followed by fingers intertwining. "Yes. I'll leave Grandpa a note. He doesn't mind if I go out as long as I let him know."

She was met with a blush of her own. "Then let's go."

Fai gently hung up the phone. "Yuui says Happy New Year Kuro-pipi, and he's sorry he couldn't make it, he had immense training or something for some new class."

"On New Year's? That seems suspicious."

Fai flopped onto his husband's lap. "Eh, we're all old, New Year's isn't as exciting for us as it used to be right? This is enough."

A kiss to the top of the blond's head. "Idiot, if you're worried about your brother say so."

"I am, but I still don't want it to ruin this night."

"Ohohoho new year, new looks!" Hokuto's nails were painted a pale blue and her toes a dark garnet. Kotori's were done the same but in reverse.

"I'm so glad we decided to have a makeup sleepover party. Now to go give our brothers makeovers." Hazel met emerald and both girls cracked into devious grins.

"I like the way you think, Kotori-chan." A kiss to the younger's pink lips and they both grabbed various things of makeup.

Fuuma sat playing video games with Kamui. "I'm sorry to just drop in. but my brother wanted the house to himself and he threatened to kick my ass if I didn't get out."

Kamui leaned into the taller male. "Anything I can do?"

"Nah, I still get to see you and knowing my brother? We probably don't want to be there anyways," The game was paused and Kamui felt his chin being lifted up and then he felt Fuuma's lips against his own.

Hokuto was about to burst in, but when she saw the two of them liplocked... "Ohohoho they're bringing in the new year fabulously." Turning to her girlfriend, she spoke again in a whisper. "Come on let's go do makeup."

The fireworks had long stopped and the hour was getting later. The candles had long since burned out and Subaru nuzzled against his boyfriend who he assumed was asleep.

"Mmm, what are you doing awake Subaru?"

"I just woke up from an amazing dream that involved you making love to me in your living room."

"Funny, I had the same one but we can make it a reality if you like except you'll have to substitute my living room for my bedroom."

A shy but confident smile. "Bring it on...I'm always up for another round with you."

He received a confident smirk in return and lips met lips and slowly their bodies started that ancient dance.

"Take-pon, you're such a grouchy lover; this is New Year's, we're supposed to kiss!"

"You... I'll kill you! Fighter star——"

"Knock it off you two, be happy you can spend it together...he's out there somewhere alone."

Both boys turned to their roommate and offered her sympathetic smiles. "We'll find him."
