The following afternoon, the two girls were still snuggled deep inside Makoto's warm bed, the comforter wrapped around them tightly. Out side the snow was falling, adding to the Christmas feel. Christmas. Makoto had nearly forgotten. But not quite. She nuzzled Minako's head before planting a small kiss there. Her back still ached from the attacks from the previous night. But, last night's later events seemed to have been well worth the scars. Makoto smiled as she brushed Minako's hair away from her sleeping face. She smiled as her finger traced a small scar at Minako's hair line. *I was right,* Makoto thought. *It did leave a scar.* Makoto closed her eyes, feeling Minako's warm breath on her neck. As content as she was, she couldn't sleep. She reopened her eyes and gently kissed Minako's head. Slowly pulling away from Minako's warm embrace, Makoto silently went thru her drawers to find a pair of sweat pants and a tee shirt. After putting on the clothing she went out into the hall and walked down to her studio. Makoto picked up a note book of drawing paper, a pencil, an eraser, a sharpener and several types of coal pencils. She walked back into her room and smiled. Minako was clutching her pillow, still sleeping. Makoto laid her things on her night stand and pulled the chair she had in her cornor near the bed. She postioned it just right and then sat down with her pencil and pad of paper... ------------------------------------------------------------ Minako groaned when the sense of warmth next to her began to fade. Yawning she opened her eyes to see Makoto looking at her over a pad of paper. "Don't move," Makoto whispered. "I'm almost done." Minako nodded slightly and smiled. She knew Makoto had a great talent for real life drawing, but not once had Makoto ever drawn her. Minako blushed slightly. She never knew that Makoto would one day draw her like she was now: cuddeling a pillow, and half naked from the waist up. Makoto blew on the picture to rid herself of loose coal marks before signing the picture. Minako gathered the blanket around her body and tip toed over to see herself. Minako gasped when she saw it. It looked as if it were a black and white photo. All the shadow markings were in the right places, and it looked so real. Makoto smiled at Minako's reaction. "You like?" Minako smiled as she sat on the arm of the chair. She took the paper from Makoto and nodded. "Hai, I do. It looks so real." Makoto blushed slightly. "I'm rusty. I haven't drawn from life in a few years. I'm surprised it came out so well." Minako smiled and kissed Makoto on her temple. "Is it mine?" Makoto shrugged and smiled slyly. "What will you give me for it?" Minako leaned across Makoto to place the note pad back on the night stand. Sliding off the arm of the chair and into Makoto's lap, Minako answered, "Hm. Depends on what you want." She wrapped her arms loosely around Makoto's neck and nibbled in her skin. Makoto moaned slightly and leaned her head back. "Well...that feels nice." Minako giggled and continued to kiss and bite Makoto's neck, her hands slowly going up Makoto's shirt... I never thought you were a fairweather friend You never let me down, you're true to the end You're in the darkest hour, when all was lost Somehow you left the light on You faced the wrong and showed the world a thing or two Stood up for me, for you And you should know... Makoto stood in her bathroom, combing her hair. She had to repeatedly wipe the mirror free of steam seeing how Minako was in the shower. After placing her hair up in her trade mark ponytail, Makoto walked back into her bedroom. She opened her closet door and began to decide what shirt to wear. She could hear Minako turn the water off and smiled. Moments later, she heard Minako walk into the bed room. "Come here, Mako-chan," Minako said setting down more gauze and medical tape. "I want to look at your back." Makoto nodded as she pulled out a white, button up dress shirt. She turned to face Minako and her jaw hit the floor. Minako had yet to get dressed and was standing in a towel wrapped around her small body and another towel was holding her hair ontop of her head. Minako giggled. "Yea, I know you like what you see. Now turn around." Makoto nodded and did as she was told. She felt Minako unsnap her bra and the tape being peeled away from her skin. She felt Minako run her hand gent;y over her back after Minako pulled the gauze away from her skin. It didn't hurt. "Mako-chan?" Makoto turned her head to look at Minako over her shoulder. "Hai?" "Do you heal quickly?" Minako didn't know what else to say. She had only known several people to heal quickly from such wounds. And they were all Senshi. Makoto inwardly groaned. *It must be my new senshi powers doing that. Crap!* "Hai, I do," Makoto said. Minako continued to run her hand over Makoto's back. "I was just wondering because the scratches are gone." Makoto was nearly floored. *Think of a lie!!* "I've always healed quickly Mina-chan. You probably don't remember." Minako sighed and kissed Makoto's back. "Iie, I guess not." She snapped Makoto's bra back into place and gent;y patted her shoulder. "Ok, you can get dressed now." Makoto turned to kiss Minako's cheek then placed her shirt over her shoulders. "Thank you." Minako looked at Makoto as she slid her panties on under the towel. "For what?" "For taking care of me last night." Minako blushed and nodded. "A-any time." Makoto smiled and buttoned her shirt. "So, what are we doing today, Mina-chan?" Minako shrugged as she snapped her bra. "I dunno. What do you want to do?" Makoto smiled shyly. "Well, what I'd like to do all would require us to strip and spen the rest of the day in that bed over there." Minkao laughed and blushed slightly. "Mako!" "I was just teasing," Makoto said, tuckining her shirt into her jeans. "Thats good," Minako said, walking to Makoto's closet to choose an outfit for herself. "There always the couch, shower, and kitchen table!" Minako couldn't help but to giggle. "You...no wonder you stayed single so long." Makoto just made a face an impersonated Minako. "No wonder you stayed single so long. Neh nah nah. Shut up." Makoto meant for it to sound stren, but her voice cracked with laughter. Minako giggled more and pulled out a pair of jeans she knew had to have been to small for her girlfriend and a very large green sweater. She quickly dressed and combed her hair. While Minako was brushing her hair, Ace sneaked into Makoto's room. "Why did you do that last night," he hissed at her. "Oh shut up. You know damn well why." Makoto glared at her guardian. And he glared back. "But why? You know destiney will not permit you two to be together. Things have changed Makoto. And they will change again." He sighed and shook his head. Looking back up at Makoto, he said, "I worry about you. I just don't want you getting hurt again." Makoto nodded. Ace had always been the closest thing to a father she had ever had after her parents died. "Hai, I know. But, you know how I feel about her. I know I may get hurt again. But, I'd rather risk of getting burned again for a second chance then to let it slip by." "You know you two will be torn apart again. And soon." Makoto nodded, getting her leather belt and looping it thru her jeans. "Hai. And I'll do it a third time and a fourth time." Ace smiled slightly. "You are so stubborn." Makoto smiled. "I get it from you." Some say it wasn't worth the things we went through I say it ain't worth losing you I hope you know how much you have changed all our lives Someday you'll see if only through heaven's eyes "Ooo...Go Mako-chan! Go!" Minako cheered as Makoto crossed the finish line first. Makoto laughed slightly. "That game is hard. Why don't you try raceing these guys?" "Cause I'd lose. No thank you." Makoto smiled. "Konnichi wa, you two," said a voice behind them. Makoto and Minako turned their heads to see Usagi, Rei, and Ami. "Hey," Makoto said. "Whats up you guys?" Usagi went to stand on the other side of Makoto. "Nothing much. Just stopping for a late lunch. We've been shopping all day." Usagi looked up at Minako. "I called your house, but you didn't answer the phone." Makoto smiled. "Thats 'cause I stole her before you called." Rei smiled and stood behind Makoto, leaning on the back of the racing chair. "Bad Mako-chan. How are you doing on the game?" "I'm doing good. Its the fifth time I won it today." Makoto glared up at Minako. "I would have long ago quit if *someone* didn't want that giant teddy bear this arcade is holding for ten Nascar race wins." Minako giggled. "Thats your fault for areeing to do it for me." "No kidding." Makoto turned her head up and smiled at Rei. "Have you guys eaten yet?" Rei shook her head. "Iie. We just got here when we saw you two and we thought we'd say hi. Would you like to join us?" Makoto smiled. "Hai. I'm starving. I got a bit of a work out last night." Makoto laughed when Minako blushed and walked away from the group to find a table. I still remember the things that you said I keep you words alive I could never forget Cause in the final hour you made me proud So proud that I could know you You told the world its time that they believed in you And you should know... "So, the Senshi are fighting amongst themselves are they? They want to kick Sailor Moon out of the group and choose a new leader?" Kunzite laughed to himself. "Thats how it seems to me," said a deep femine voice. "What do you want me to do?" Kunzite thought for a moment. "Keep an eye on them Ninjana. I want to make sure thats what is going on before we make a move." "Of course, Kunzite-sama." Ninjana then disappeared. Some say it wasn't worth the things we went through I say it ain't worth losing you I hope you know how much you've changed all our lives Someday you'll see if only though heaven's eyes Afew days later, Ninjana returned to the Negaverse kingdom. With her she had a pink letter from Sailor Moon. She presented the letter to Kunzite, who read the letter to himself. "So, our little rabbit wants to solo. She's willing to trade the crystal for the spoiled prince." "Does it say how she wants to trade?" "Hai. She wants to meet you alone, infront of the giant clock in the park." Kunzite looked up Ninjana. "I, of course, will be there." Ninjana nodded and left. "The crystal will soon be mine." Kunzite's hand was quickly engulfed by flames, Usagi's letter buring to ashes. ------------------------------------------------------------ Sailor moon stood next to the clock at midnight, waiting for the reporter to show. She was nervous, but tried her best to not let it show. A few feet away, the other senshi watched. "Do you think this will work," Venus asked. Mars shook her head. "I don't know. Mercury, get your scanner ready." Mercury nodded and did as she was told. Above the senshi, standing in the shadows behind Sailor moon stood two shadows. One was Sailor Jupiter and the other was her tiger. "Do you think they'll show, Yung hu," Jupiter asked. The tiger shook his head. "I don't know. All we can do is wait and see. I'm sure they will. That crystal of their's is at stake." Jupiter nodded. "Yung hu?" "Hai?" "What were you gonna tell me the other night before Minako showed up?" The tiger looked up at Jupiter. "When?" "When I asked you why I was so tired." "Oh, that." Yung hu looked back towards Sailor Moon. "I believe ite because your body isn't use to have so many forms in one body." "Nani? What do you mean by that?" "The other senshi tire as well. But you see, they only have two forms; their senshi forms and their everyday form. You, on the other hand, have three. You tire more quickly than the others do. And because of that, it takes you longer to recoperate." Jupite nodded. "Can I die from that alone?" Yung hu thought for a moment. "Hm. Perhaps. But, I think if you stop using forms at the same time, you'd be alright. Your senshi form is your true warrior form. You know that." "Hai, but my other form is stronger." Yung hu chuckled. "Always looking out to be stronger. Your senshi form will gain experiance and get stronger with battles. It takes time." "I'm impatient." "I know." The two warriors fell silent for a few moments. "Why aren't you ever tired, Yung Hu? You have three forms as well." "Actually, I have four. But, I'm an inmortal. I won't die from it although I do tire just as easily as you do." Jupiter nodded once again. Her eyes narrowed as her vision focused on shadows that were moving between Sailor Moon and the other senshi. "Yung hu, is that-?" "Hai. They're here." And so we can't forget We've got to keep remembering them all The ones who took the fall They did it for usall And we should learn from it Stand up if you believe in it You've got to face the world...be strong ------------------------------------------------------------ Sailor moon cried out when the whip wrapped itself around her throat. Ninjana pulled on the whip to bring her to her knees. Kunzite sneered at the blonde. "Where is it?" "I'm not giving it to you. Not now! Not ever!!" "Oh you will. The question is tho, will you be alive when it happens?" Jupiter was still in the shadows. "When can we attack?" "When the others show themselves. I don't want them to get the crystal." Jupiter shook her head. "They won't. Sailor Moon doesn't even have it." The tiger looked up at his ward. "How do you know that?" Jupiter sighed and pulled out the cresent moon wand from behind her back. "Its because I have it." "How do you have that," Yung hu asked, disbelief on his face. "I didn't steal it,"Jupiter hissed. "I found it one night at Rei's after Usagi left. Minako told me they were going to do this so I took it." Yung hu smiled. "Lets go!" He then roared. Everyone turned to where he and Jupiter were and watched. He soon jumped from the shadows and slashed at the whip, cutting it in half. Sailor moon fell backwards, catching her breath. Yung hu stepped in front of Sailor Moon and snarled at the two warriors from the dark side. Sailor Jupiter ran out from the shadows and threw an attack towards Ninjana, making her jump back away from them. Jupiter then knealt down at Sailor Moon's side and helped her sit up. "I believe this is yours, your highness," Jupiter said, handing her the wand. Sailor moon looked at her in disbelied. "How'd you-" "I'll explain later." She then stood and took a fighting stance. Glaring at Ninjana, she smiled. "Lets go bitch!" Ninjana glared angerily at Jupiter and readied her stars. Just as she was about throw them, she heard someone yell from behind her. "Mars fire ignite!" Ninjana screamed out in pain as the fire attack hit her. She fell to her knees and her breath came in short gasps. Jupiter looked back towards Sailor Moon, who only nodded. She held the wand over her head and cried out her attack and healed the reporter. Sailor Jupiter smiled at Sailor Moon, the others running up to join them. They soon heard a crackeling noise above them. "MOVE," Jupiter screamed, jumping from her place, the others following suit before a giant fire ball struck the exact place they were just standing. Jupiter glared up at Kunzite. She heard someone whimper next to her and saw Venus holding her leg, which had black, charred places on it. Her eyes began to glow bright green, and Yung Hu groaned. *Makoto, please don't change. Hold your temper.* His pleas went unanswered as Jupiter's fuku split in the back, white feathered wings sprouting from her back. She hunched over as the transformation took hold of her body. A bright light engulfed her body and when it disappeared, Mitsuakai stood among the senshi. Behind her stood Yung Hu in his gargoyle form. Mintusakai jumped from her spot and flew at Kunzite who disappeared and reappeared above the senshi. Mitsuakai landed on the clock and jumped from it, hitting him this time. They fell towards the ground and landed with a sickening thud. The others got up from the ground and ran to stand by the clock's base, watching the two battle. Mitusakai punched Kunzite in the face and stomache, making the warrior fall to his knees. She raised her arms intending to deilver a final blow to the back of his head, but he stood quickly and blasted her towards the senshi, her back hitting the clock. Stummbeling slightly, he quickly disappeared before Yung hu could attack him. Sailor Moon grabbed Mitsuakai's arm and helped her stand. "Are you alright?" The senshi and Yung Hu heard Mitsuakai growl, and saw that her eyes had never stopped glowing. Yelling with a roar louder than Yung Hu's, Mitsuakai grabbed hold of Sailor Moon's throat and slammed her into the clock. Some say it wasn't worth the things we went through I say it ain't worth loosing you I hope you know how much you've changed all our lives Someday you'll see if only through heaven's eyes
