Snippet #1928042

“Careful now…careful…” Hotaru Fukimato breathed out softly as she slowly dropped small pink grains that shined from her finger tips. It was a small amount, if applied too much, disaster might occur. Her hand was small, similar to her figure. Sweat slowly dripped from the corner of her face. She was no witch, yet she was dealing with material that was magical…and hazardous. Her hazel eyes widened in excitement as the liquid within the pot began to react to the pink grains Maso had given her a few days ago. “Ohh~~” She began to shift her weight back and front from one foot to the other as excitement ran through her body. “Just a couple more drops…” She rubbed her fingers together a little bit more before putting the rest of the magical grain into the small brown sewed bag it came from. The pink grain was pixie dust and Hotaru used just the right amount for a reaction.

The liquid within the bowl began to change form into small oval balls. It was transforming into a weapon. This was one of Hotaru’s hobbies; creating magical stuff with the witches products. It was fun to her although it could bother Shizuma because sometimes it could be dangerous. There was a few times when her creations backfired and exploded in front of her, causing unnecessary and painful injuries. Being a rose vampire, however; Hotaru did not care much if she was hurt or not; she would heal up sooner or later. These pink oval balls magically enhanced explosives that could only be activated by fire, particularly Hotaru’s fire. Within these small balls contained magical material that once activated and exploded, the liquid within the balls will begin to melt the flesh of those it touches. It down side is that it could be easily removed by lake water. “Kekeke…” She giggled mischievously as she slowly picked one of the balls from the bowl to get a closer look.

Her mind was completely on her creation until she felt a sensation within her chest that made her immediately stop was she was doing and look towards the direction her contractor was; towards the Rose Woods. She felt Shizuma’s emotions being threatened. Although Hotaru seemed worried, she did not move, she simply stayed where she was at and waited. She waited until Shizuma was attacked. After a few seconds, the feeling in her chest seized and she returned her attention back to the ball in her hand. “She better be back soon.” A smirk formed her lips as she stared at the ball that was now between her index finger and thumb. There was a small sound resonating for the ball and it began to glow hot. It was being activated by the heat within Hotaru’s bare hand. “Shit!” Hotaru quickly dropped the ball and ran out of the room. Boom! “Damn it!” Hotaru began endless shrieks of curses as she immediately searched for water. After a minute or so, she had returned to the room to discover that the small ball she created and began to eat a hole into the ground and was beginning to leak to the first floor. Hotaru had to move fast and she quickly through her water at the material that was eating her floor away.

By this time, she was out of breath and was leaning against the wall. Her red orange hair that was decorated by dried up leaves was slightly stuck to the sides of her face from the sweat she produced. Looking at the damage she had done to her house, she began to laugh before leaving the room and shutting the door behind her completely. Hotaru will tend to the damage later, but for right now, she will wait for the arrival of Shizuma. Walking out her mansion, she quickly made her way to the Silver Lake. The lake itself was quiet beautiful, especially from the view of bedroom.

Hotaru dressed lightly, her shoulders, stomach, and much of her legs were bare. The clothing she wore was simple, yet professionally made to fit her body type perfectly. She had a reason for not wearing much clothing when she wants to relax. Hotaru is the Red Rose that has the power of fire, meaning she was unusually warmer than most.

Hotaru could see Shizuma in the distance, a wide smile formed her lips before glancing over towards a guest that was following her. Being a rose vampire, she could sense the damn mix bred mutt from far away. He was the one that probably made Shizuma feel threatened, but seeing him following Shizuma made Hotaru a bit angry. “Why is he following my Shizuma?” She glanced at the mutt from far away before crouching down and sticking her hand into the cold lake. Are you cold?... Her thoughts directed towards the mutt before activating her element and to increase the temperature of the lake. The heat from her hand began to raise the temperature of the water extremely fast, yet it stopped before the water began to bubble. Hotaru was playing. When Shizuma got closer, Hotaru immediately, but calmly removed her hand out of the lake and greeted Shizuma with a smile. The water immediately went back to its original temperature.

“Shizuma, my dear! Where have you been?”
