~Show me the meaning Of being lonely...~ "Excuse me..Pardon me... I'm sorry, excuse me..." Makoto hated plane flights. She hated planes period. Especially if *she* was on one and it about to take off. Makoto moved down the small isle of the plane, a small carry on bag in one hand, her plane ticket in the other. Although no one but her knew, another passenger was tucked away in her brown leather jacket. Ace didn't move and kept very still. As if knowing if Makoto was caught with him, they'd both be kicked off the plane. Finding her seat, Makoto placed her bag in the over head storage bin and took her seat. Her seat was next to the window and despite the fact that meant she could look down and see how high up she was, she was thankful she didn't have to sit in the middle. Ten minutes or so later, a lady with a little girl took a seat next to her, the little girl sitting next to Makoto. Makoto gave the small girl and the child returned it with a shy one. After a few more moments, the plane began pull away from the terminal and Makoto's body locked up. She closed her eyes tightly as she felt the plane speed up then tilt upwards. Her nails dug into the arm rests as she felt the plane leave the ground completly and take off into the air. She finally relaxed about five minutes later when the plane leveled out. After she got control of her breathing again, Makoto unzipped her coat and took out the photo her pen pal had sent her. She smiled looking at her new friend's face, thinking she and her friends were very beautiful. But, no one could hold a candle to the blonde in the photo with the red bow. Makoto's heart broke as she thought back to her friend's funeral... #####flash back##### All was quiet as the preacher spoke. The day, despite the funeral, was very beautiful; warm, sunny...an over all nice spring day. Mrs. Patterson wiped her eyes, her husband standing next to her, holding her hand. The old woman looked to her to her left, her heart breaking more at what she saw. Makoto stood very still and ridged, no movements coming from her except for her breathing and a tear sliding down her face from time to time. Mrs. Patterson looked at her husband then let go of his hand, walking over to Makoto and gently taking her hand. Makoto blinked and looked at her former guardian and squeezed the woman's hand back, but remained silent. Mrs. Patterson sadly looked at Makoto then back to the casket that held her 'daughter'. Makoto sighed sadly as the casket was lowered into the ground. Her heart brke as everyone gently tossed in a rose then left. Makoto was the last to leave staring at the casket that was now inside the grave diggen for it. Her heart breaking more knowing th elove of her life and her best friend were gone. ~So many words for the broken heart It's hard to see in a crimson love So hard to breathe Walk with me, and maybe Nights of light so soon become Wild and free I could feel the sun Your every wish will be done They tell me Show me the meaning of being lonely Is this the feeling I need to walk with Tell me why I can't be there where you are There's something missing in my heart~ Makoto sighed and slammed her door shut after she entered her apartment. It had only been a few days that Minako had died and Makoto felt as tho it had been years upon years. She threw her black dress jacket at her coat rack, not caring if it landed on it or in the floor. She didn't bother to look either. She made her way zombie like to her couch and fell forward on it, laying on her stomache, one arm and leg slightly hanging off into the floor. She felt something warm brush up against her arm and looked down to see Ace rubbing his furry head against her arm. Smiling a little bit, Makoto gently scratched his head behind his ears and he purred, closing his eyes and sitting next to his owner in the floor. She gently ran her hand from his head to his tail in slow calming motions befor placing her hand up under her chin for more support. He tilted his head sadly at her befor crouching and jumping on to her back, curling up at her lower back. He began to purr soflty and Makoto smiled yet again. Even if it was a small one. ~So many words for the broken heart It's hard to see in a crimson love So hard to breathe Walk with me, and maybe Nights of light so soon become Wild and free I could feel the sun Your every wish will be done They tell me~ Makoto sighed as reality,rushed back, flooding her mind. Two hours passed, and she was still on the plane. She figured another hour or so and she would be in Tokyo. Makoto settled her gaze back onto the photo and smiled. Her pen pal was very beautiful. She had raven hair with striking violet eyes. Hino Rei...Makoto smiled more. She wondered what kind of voice she had. Rei probably thought the same of her, Makoto assumed. Makoto sighed again and placed the photo back into her jacket pocket. As she removed her hand, a small blue furry head popped out of her shirt and looked around curiously. The little girl next to Makoto smiled as she looked at the cat's head. Ace turned, feeling eyes stareing at him, and meowed at the small girl. The little child giggled and Ace jumped from out of Makoto's shirt and into his owner's lap. The little girl giggled once again as she reached over to pet the cat's head and he purred under her touch. Ace seemed to smile as he jumped from Makoto's lap into the little girl's, purring and rubbing his head under her chin, making her giggle more. The little girl then looked up at Makoto and asked, "What's its name?" Makoto smiled and answered, "His name is Ace. He likes to be scratched here," Makoto said reaching over and gently scratching Ace behind his ears. The girl smiled and when Makoto removed her hand, the girl mimicked her move and scratched Ace behind his ears. Ace seemed to smile more and his purrs grew in volume, enjoying being scratched here. ~Show me the meaning of being lonely Is this the feeling I need to walk with Tell me why I can't be there where you are There's something missing in my heart~ Makoto smiled at the little girl as she returned Ace back to her. Ace was quickly placed back into her shirt, her jacket quickly being zipped back up. Makoto then fastened her seatbelt as the plane began to desend into Tokyo National. The landing was much rougher than Makoto had thought it would be. But she was mor ethankful the plane hadn't crashed like the one that had claimed bothher parents' lives. As the plane pulled into the terminal, Makoto finally noticed it was night time. She sighed as the plane finally stopped. She waited for the girl and her mother to gather their things befire standing and getting her bag from the storage bin above her seat. After she got her bag, Makoto quickly moved with the other passengers, trying to get off the plane in one peice. As soon as she got off the plane, she moved to the side, looking for her friend. she quickly found her friend and smiled as she waved at her. "Rei-chan!! Rei! Over here," Makoto called out in Japanese. The raven haired girl arched her neck and smiled greatkly as she saw her friend waving at her, still next to the loading gate. "Makoto-chan!" rei called out, walking quickly to her friend. As soon as she reached her, Makoto dropped her bag to engulf the smaller woman into a warm sisterly embrace. Rei laughed as she pulled away from Makoto. "You are much taller than I thought you would be Makoto-chan." Makoto laughed and picked up her bag. "Please, call me 'Mako-chan.' We're friends, ne?" Rei smiled. "Hai." Rei giggled and took Makoto's left hand and guided her away from the terminal. "Come on, Mako-chan. I wanna get your things and get you home." Makoto laughed while she was being pulled by her new friend. "Wait up, Rei-chan. You're pulling my arm off!" ~Life goes on as it never ends Eyes of stone observe the trends They never say forever gaze Guilty roads to an endless love There's no control Are you with me now Your every wish will be done They tell me~ "I'll show you the temple grounds tomorrow, Mako-chan," rei said, carrying one of her friend's bags as she led her to the guest room. "Its too dark now." Makoto nodded. "Hai, I agree. So," Makoto said smiling and gently wrapping an arm around Rei's shoulders. "Someone's got a birthday coming up in a few weeks." Rei blushed and lowered her head, still guiding Makoto to her room. "Hai, I do." Makoto smiled more. "Well...What do you want me to get you for your birthday?" Rei laughed as the reached the guest room door. "You don't need to do anything for me. I'll be happy just as long as your my friend." Makoto smiled and sat her bag down. "This is the room I take it?" Rei nodded. "Hai," she answered, sliding the bedroom door open. "Its actually very small compared to the other bed rooms. I hope its large enough for you." Rei slipped her hand inside the darkend room and hit the light switch. Makoto's jaw dropped as she set her eyes on her new bed room. "*THIS* is *SMALL*!?" Rei laughed and nodded, walking inside the room, setting the bag she had been carrying next to the bed. "Hai." Makoto laughed and shook her head, also walking inside the room. "This room is more than large enough. I think its bigger then the apartment I was living in back in England." "Well," Rei said looking at the room then at Makoto. "Have any questions?" Makoto continued to inspect her new room. "Hai. I have a pet cat..." At that, Ace's head finally popped up out of Makoto's jacket. "Rei smiled and petted the cats head. "He's fine," Rei said. "It is a 'he', ne?" Makoto nodded. "Hai. His name is Ace. He won't get into trouble or anything here will he?" Rei shook her head. "He should fine just as long as he doesn't try to eat my birds." Makoto laughed. "Iie, he'll be good. Won'tcha Ace?" Ace meowed and clawed his way out of Makoto's shirt and jacket, jumping onto the floor, observing his new home as well. "See? He's a good kitty." Rei laughed and hugged Makoto. "Oyasumi nassi, Mako-chan. I'll come and wake you up in the morning for breakfast." Rei then left the room, shutting the door behind her. Makoto smiled and sat down on her bed. Ace rubbed up against her leg and purred beforeing jumping up to sit next to her on the bed. Makoto gently petted his head before taking the picture back out of her jacket and looking at her Angel's face once more. ~Show me the meaning of being lonely Is this the feeling I need to walk with Tell me why I can't be there where you are There's something missing in my heart~ "Let us out of here, Kunzite," Mars yelled. "Let us out now," Sailor Moon added. Kunzite laughed as he shrunk the black dome that contained the four sailor senshi inside, slowly stealing their energy away. "Shrink to fit," Kunzite yelled out, the dome shrinking on the four senshi taht were inside of it. Their screams of pain echoed through out the construction site. A few moments passed and Zoicite appeared next to Kunzite. "Did you get the nijizuishou," Kunzite asked. Zoicite shook his head. "'Iie. I was attacked by someone...I think it was another sailor senshi..." "But Zoicite," Kunzite started, "Can't you see that I have all the senshi in the dome?" "Hai, thats what I thought too...." Zoicite was confused as to who attacked him when he was fighting Tuxedo Kamen. The screams of the senshi cut through the the blonde's train of thought, making him snap back into reality. His gaze fell apon the dome and the senshi inside. They were all doubled over, trying their best to stay on their feet. "Come out come out, where ever you are Cape Boy," Zoicite called out. "Give us the nijizuishou, and we promise them a quick death instead of a slow one." "Don't do it, Tuxedo Kamen," Sailor Moon called out. "Quiet," Kunzite called out, shrinking the dome further, the senshi falling to their knees. "Don't you care about your little fanclub, Tuxedo Kamen," Zoicite called out again. Tuxedo Kamen, wounded and leaning against the wall, walked out from behind his hiding place, ready to give up his nijizuishou to save the senshi. "Let them go! I'll give you the nijizuishou if you let them go and don't hurt them." The two generals' heads turned towards the wounded Tuxedo Kamen, both smiling cruely. "Give us the nijizuishou and we'll kill them quickly," Zoicite said. "Let them go, and I'll give it to you." Tuxedo Kamen's mind raced, trying to figure out how to free the senshi with out having to sacrifice the nijizuishou. *What am I going to do,* Tuxedo Kamen thought to himself. *Oh, Kmai-sama...help them please!* "Whats it gonna be, Cape Boy," Zoicite asked again, his green eyes narrowing. "Don't do it," Venus cried out. "I said shut up!" Kunzite once again shrunk the dome, the senshi crying out in pain once again. Kunzite and Zoicite laughed as the senshi fell more in pain as Tuxedo Kamen's mind raced. He slowly began to reach into his coat pocket to remove the nijizuishou. As his hand clenched around it, he heard the same voice from when he and Zoicite had battled earlier. "If you release them," the voice said, "I will promise *you* a quick death!" "There it is," Zoicite said. "There's that voice again!" A light from the left caming blazing towards the generals, slicing the tops of Kunzite's hands. With hands wounded, the dome of dark energy entraping the senshi shattered, setting them free. Sailor Venus stood and scanned the shadows from which the light beam had come from. She saw a figure begining to walk from out of the shadows and towards the generals. Zoicite stepped out in front of Kunzite, sheilding him since his hands had been injured. The rest of the senshi, although cautious of the two generals, also turned their gazes to see the person who had helped them. The shadowed warrior stepped away from the darkness, his....actually, HER features becoming more visable under the lights of the construction yard. The senshi gasped at what they saw. The person who had saved them had feathered wings of soft white, the tips of the feathers a sparkeling emerald green. The woman's body was tanned evenly and dark. Her dark green hair went down below her shoulders and her deep emerald eyes were narrowed towards the two generals. The generals' mouths dropped as they saw the new winged warrior. As they backed up, Tuxedo Kamen saw another shadowed figure drop behind the enemies. He wasn't aware of it having wings until it spread them as it stood. Once it stood up completly, it took in a deep breath and crouched over, roaring loudly. The generals turned quickly as they jumped from the surprise, the senshi quickly turning their gaze back to the generals. They backed away from the creature that had just roared at them. And, in turn, the creature stepped out of the shadows and into the light. This winged warrior was defently male, wearing only a loin cloth, compared to his comrade who was wearing a sports bra type top, army-style pants and combat boots. All of which where black. The male was not human based like the girl. He had the body of a tiger, his fur blue, not orange. But the original white and black markings on a tiger were still present in their true colors on his body. His eyes were narrowed at the generals, glowing a feirce forrest green. His teeth bared and his ears were laid back, growling at Kunzite and Zoicite. Zoicite reformed his ice sword in his hand, ready to fight. His gazequickly shot back towards the other stranger. She simply stood there, her wings now drapped over her shoulders much like a cape and her arms crossed over her chest. As Zoicite took his fighting stance, several dark purple lighting bolts gathered everyone's attention toward the sky. It was Queen Beryl. "Kunzite! Zoicite! Let them be! There are too many," she barked. "But Queen Beryl," Kunzite started, "We have yet to retrive the nijizuishou!" "I'm aware of that," Beryl replied. "Queen Beryl, please," Zoicite pleaded. "We can win thins fight!" "How DARE you ignore my orders! Get back here NOW," Beryl shouted. "Hai, my queen," Kunzite said. Zoicite leaned his head towards his fellow general. "We're in for an earful," he whispered and Kunzite smirked. Turning back to the others, Zoicite said, "We'll be back!" Then both the holloghram of Beryl and the two generals dissappeared. The tiger took in a deep breath and snorted, blowing dust from his nose. The female warrior gave him a lopsidded grin, watching Tuxedo Kamen disappear around the cornor. The senshi turned to study their saviors, wondering if they were actaully friends or foes. "Good work, Yung Hu," the woman said. "Lets go." The tiger nodded and began to walk towards his female companion. As they began to walk away, Sailor Moon ran to them and stopped them. "Wait! Please wait," she called until the two finally turned around. "Hai," the woman asked. "What is it?" Sailor Moon smiled as she bowed. "I just wanted to thank you for your help tonight." The woman smiled. "Dou itashimashite, Sailor Moon." Sailor Moon blushed and smiled. "Well, you know my name. May I know yours?" "Its Mitsukai," she said bowing in respect. "And this is Yung Hu," she said, motioning towards the tiger who was with her. He smiled and nodded his respect. Sailor Moon smiled. As Sailor Moon and Mitsukai spoke to one another, the rest of the senshi joined their leader, also wanting to know who their new friends were. When the senshi approached, Sailor Moon smiled more. "These are my fellow senshi. That is Sailor Mercury," she said pointing to the blue haired girl. She smiled a little and nodded. Mitsukai and Yung Hu nodded back. "Thats Mars," pointing to the senshi of fire. Mars smiled and waved. The two new warriors smiled back. "And this is Sailor Venus," Sailor Moon said, patting Venus's back. Yung Hu smiled as Venus, but Mitsukai's smiled faded and her eeys narrowed slightly. "We've met," she said coldly. Sailor Venus looked at Mitsuakai as she said that, trying to place where they may have met. Giving one more icy glare, she turned on her heal and spread her wings quickly, flapped them a couple of time befor crouching down and taking flight. Yung Hu watched her go and smiled weakly at the senshi. "Gomen ne," he said before turning and quickly doing what Mitsuakai had done, leaving the senshi there alone, confused as to what had just happened.... ~There's nowhere to run I have no place to go Surrender my heart' body and soul How can it be you're asking me to feel the things You never show You are missing in my heart Tell me why can't I be there where you are Show me the meaning of being lonely Is this the feeling I need to walk with Tell me why I can't be there where you are There's something missing in my heart~
