"No."

Haruka answered quickly, without any additional thought before answering. They had just come back from hours at the hospital, and earlier in the day Hotaru had proven that her powers made her not only a danger to herself, but to others if these outbursts continued.

"Absolutely not." Haruka elaborated as she grabbed a frozen dinner out of the freezer and placed it in the microwave, while motioning for Hotaru to pick one out for herself.

If Haruka was this hungry, she could only imagine how bad Hotaru's appetite was.

Hotaru saw no point in arguing and someone getting hurt again so Hotaru decided to sneak out.

Upon seeing herself motioned over by Haruka, she tiredly walked over and her stomach growled once more.

"I'll have the chicken nuggets one." Hotaru yawned out her answer

Haruka pulled the two trays out of the microwave, balancing them carefully as she placed them on the table.

"Here you go." Haruka slid Hotaru the chicken nugget meal she requested, and ripped of the cellophane off of her own, and began to eat. Remembering a different question that Hotaru had asked, she chewed and swallowed before answering.

"I didn't contact the others because we can figure this out on our own."

There was no way she was going to tell Hotaru the truth; about how she was worried about Usagi's saftey and how she would handle it. Especially not when she was this exhausted.

Hotaru soon ate herself she skipped a "thanks" but she immediately stopped hearing the answer.

"You're lying." Hotaru guessed, after all, they both were able to see right through each other even though she herself, was very exhausted.

 
Haruka sighed heavily, and shoved a fork full of food into her mouth. It was too late at night to go into any farther detail with Hotaru, considering all of the days events. While there was a small inkling of a thought that told Haruka that Hotaru probably already had an idea of why she really didn't tell the others; now really wasn't the time for another argument.

Haruka swallowed the food heavily. It may have well has been sand, as her mood had already distracted her from the already less-then-gourmand food.

"Tomorrow. I'll tell you tomorrow."
