~Forever...~ The night of that battle left the senshi weary of their new 'friends'. Everything had seemed ok until Mitukai saw Minako in her warrior form. Thats when things had gotten nasty between them... ####flash 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.... ################ Rei sighed and continued to sweep the temple stairs, waiting for her friends to arrive and meet Makoto. It had been three days since she arrived, and with the battles, the other girls had been to tired to stop by. And when they had stopped by, Makoto had already left to look for an apartment. Rei stood up straight and popped her back, trying to get the small ache out of it. As her gaze went back towards the stairs, she felt something rub up against her leg. She blinked then looked down, and smiled. Rei placed the broom against the temple grounds wall then sat in the shade on the stairs, Ace walking up to her and rubbing against her more. She smiled more and picked the blue cat and sat him in her lap. He leaned his head back and began to purr as Rei rubbed his throat. Rei smiled more as she heard someone call her name. Both Ace and she looked down at the stairs to see Ami walking up them. "Konnichi wa, Ami-chan," Rei said, smiling up at her friend. "How are you?" Ami smiled and sat next to Rei on the temple stairs. "I'm good." Ami looked at the cat Rei held and smiled more. "Is this Ace?" "Hai," Rei said and Ace moved from her lap over to Ami, seeming as if he were sizing Ami up. He then arched his back and rubbed his body against Ami's side and purred. Ami giggled and patted his head as he curled up on her lap. "He's much bigger than Luna and Artemis," Ami pointed out while gently rubbing Ace's back. "Hai, he is," Rei said looking at him. "Its kinda strange tho..." Ami looked up at her friend. "What is?" Rei reached over and scratched Ace's ears. "I sense both negitive and positive energy from him. But, when I did a fire reading on him, I came up with nothing." Ami blinkd a few times and looked down at the blue cat in her lap. "What about your friend?" "I did one on her too because I felt the exact same vibes from her." Rei shook her heda and sighed. "Still nothing..." "Konnichi wa, minna-chan!!" Ami and Rei turned away from the blue cat to see a blonde running up the stairs towards them. Rei snickered as she greeted her friend. "Hi, odango-atama." Usagi stuck her tounge out at Rei. "Shove it, Pyro. Hi Ami-chan!" Ami giggled and nodded. "Hello Usagi. How are things going?" Usagi shrugged and sat next to Ami's legs, a few steps down. "Ok, I guess. So when do we get to meet your friend, Rei?" "When ever she gets back," Rei answered. Usagi nodded and finally noticed the cat sitting in Ami's lap. She smiled and reached over to scratch his ears. "Hey cutie..." Ace purred and closed his emerald eyes, tilting his head up slightly. Usagi giggled and picked him up from Ami's lap and held him in her own. "Wow, he's much heavier than Luna." "We know, Odango," Rei said smirking at her friend. "Shove it Pyro," Usagi said, sticking her tounge out at Rei. Rei retailiated and soon the two were having a stareing contest and blowing rassberries at one another as Ami and Ace sweat dropped. Someone chuckeling made the trio turn around and Ace to jumps from Usagi's lap. "Children, children," the girl said, catching Ace as he jumped into her arms. "That isn't a way for young ladies to behave." Rei smiled. "Hello Makoto-chan." Makoto smiled and placed Ace back on the ground as she dipped her head low to place a qucik kiss on Rei's cheek. Rei blushed slightly as Makoto walked past her to sit against the wall. "Did you find a place yet, Makoto," Rei asked turning her head so she could see her friend. Ace jumped up into Rei's lap and purred. Makoto nodded and smiled. "Hai, I did. Its a down town loft. Great veiw of the ocean. And the place is huge! Just what I was looking for." "Can you afford it tho," Rei asked, quirking an eyebrow. Makoto nodded and chuckled. "Hai, mother, I can." Rei stuck her tounge out at Makoto and Makoto simply smiled more. "So...are you gonna introduce me to your friends or what, Rei-chan?" Rei blushed and sweatdropped. "Gomen ne, I forgot. Um...Makoto, these are two of my closet friends Usagi and Ami," Rei said,pointing to each girl. The both waved and sai their hellos as did Makoto. "So, when are you moving into your place, Makoto-san," Ami asked. Makoto closed her eyes, thinking. "Eh,...I can move in any time, but I have to back to England first and send all my stuff here. I'll be going back next week." "But you are coming back, ne," Usagi asked. Makoto nodded. "Hai, I am. I'll only be gone a couple of days." Makoto stood and stretched. "I think I'm gonna go work out for a bit if thats all right, Rei?" Rei nodded. "Yeah, its fine. See ya later." Makoto smiled and bowed. "Ja ne, ladies." Makoto then walked towards the work out room in the temple, Ace jumping from Rei's lap and following her. As soon as Makoto was inside the temple, Usagi quickly turned to Rei and asked, "Why did she kiss you!?" Rei blinked a few times a blushed. "She's my friend...why does it matter?" Usagi blinked then shrugged. "I was just wondering..." "Yea, sure you were," Rei said, shooting Usagi a look. "So, Rei, is Makoto....ya know..." Usagi asked shyly. "...A lesbian," Rei finished for her. Usagi nodded. "Hai, she is. I think thats why she kissed me. She's a major flirt. But, she did that when we first met on line too, so I'm pretty use to it." Usagi smiled. "So, she's still pretty cool, ne?" Rei laughed and nodded. "Hai. Very cool." "Hey minna-chan!!" The three girls turned to see their other blonde friend running up the stairs. "Why are you guys sitting in this hot weather instead of inside?" "Minako," Rei started. "Its summer and there is a very large fire inside my home...where would you wanna be?" Minako blinked then giggled. "Oh yeah...So," she began, "When do we get to meet your friend?" "We've already met her," Ami said, pulling out a book form her large hand bag and hiding her face behind it. "Nani!?" "Hai, we met her a few minutes ago," Usagi said. "She's really nice." "Man...I wish I could have met her," Minako said, slumping down next to Usagi. "She's still here, Minako," Rei said. "She's in the work out room." "Can we go see her," Minako asked. "Since these two have already met her, why don't you go by yourself? Ask her if she wants to go see a movie with us in a little bit," rei offered. Minako blinked. "But...but...I don't know her!!" The girls luaghed at her and Rei shook her head. "Why are you so shy? Go ask her, Minako." Minako sighed and stood up. "Fine," she said as she walked past her friends and up towards the temple. She walked up the temple stairs and into the temple it self, heading towards the work out room. As she neared the room, she could hear grunts coming from the room from the people inside working out. She slid the door open and saw Yuuichirou sparing with someone. At first she thought it was Grandpa, but she soon heard his voice: "Come on, Yuuichirou! She's a woman! Can't you even beat a girl!?" Yuuichirou ducked down as Minako saw a foot fly towards his face. "Not her! She's too quick and tough." "Thats because she's focused and wants to win! You are not!" Minako giggled as she watched Yuuichirou dodge more attacks. She had yet to see whom he was fighting, but she did know it was Rei's friend. "Ok, enough," Grandpa yelled. "Take five." Minako heard footsteps then Grandpa say, "That was great Makoto-san. Where did you learn those moves?" Minako's eyes went wide when she heard that name. Her heart felt like dead weight as she hoped that the girl wasn't her old friend.... "I learned them from my father before he passed away. Then I finished my training in England." "Oh no..." Minako closed her eyes tightly, trying despertly to keep her tears from falling down her face. "Minako." Minako turned her head to see her friends approaching her. "Minako, I thought you were gonna ask Makoto if she'd like to go to a movie with us," Rei asked. Minako blinked a few times, trying to find her voice. "I...um.." Ami looked at her friend. "Are you alright, Minako-chan? You look pale..." Minako swallowed the large lump in her throat and shook her head. "Ya know...I really don't feel very well right now. I think I'm gonna go on home and..." "HEY! Whts going on out here!?" "Ack!!" Minako fell backwards as the door she was leaning on flew open. When she looked up, she saw her worst fear standing in front of her. Makoto stood there, towering over Minako and stared down at her old friend. With a distant and cold look in her eyes.... ~It's been hours seems like days since you went away and all I do is check the screen to see if you're okay you don't answer when I phone guess you wanna be left alone so I'm sending you my heart my soul and this is what I'll say I'm sorry oh so sorry can't you give me one more chance to make it all up to you ~ Minako sat at her desk in her dark room, Artemis asleep on her bed. It had been three days since she had her 'run in' with Makoto at Rei's temple and Makoto was now back in England, tying up loose ends and making plans to ship all of her belongings here to Tokyo. Minako wasn't quite sure if she were happy that she found her old friend. Or, as the case may be, that her old friend found her. Minako sighed as she typed up another email to Makoto, trying to explain why she had left England. She had hacked into Rei's adress book on her email and that was how she had found Makoto's email adress. And, as she typed these emails up, Makoto was either ignoring the emails and not responding or just deleting them all together. Minako even tried calling her a few times, but Makoto never answered the phone. Minako sighed once again and hit the send button. *Just another email for her to ignore* Minako thought. Minako leaned back in her seat and streched, popping her back in doing so. She yawned and blinked then looked over at her clock. The clock read three- fortysix in the morning. Minako switched her computer off and stood from her desk and decided agaisnt cahnging into her pj's since it was so late. Instead she just stripped off her blue jean cut off shorts and climbed into bed after moving Artemis to the side. As she laid there in the dark, many memories of her and Makoto flooded her mind. So many happy memories...Minako couldn't recall a single bad memory that she and Makoto had shared. ....Except one.... ~E-mail my heart and say our love will never die I know you're out there and I know that you still care e-mail me back and say our love will stay alive Forever...e-mail my heart ~ #######flash back####### "Kami-sama, I'm in so much pain," Sailor V said as she limped towards Makoto's apartment. She wasn't exactly sure if she'd make it or not. The strom had started back up again and she was soaked once again. And her wounds were deep and very painful from the explosian. She hadn't even went to Katrina for help...her first thought after that thief had set that bomb off was to get to Makoto. Sailor V smiled despite the imense pain she was in. The memory of them making love a few hours ago made her heart beat faster and a blush to grace her face. As she neared Makoto's apartment, she climbed up a fire escape to make the jump to her patio easier. As she jumped from roof top to roof top, hr mind whirled with what would become of them now. Minako enjoyed so much what had happened between her and her best friend. She just wasn't very sure of how her friend would react to her in the morning. ...Sailor V gave one final leap and landed, if not very gracefully at least safely, onto Makoto's balconey. She stood up, the rain beating down on her back and head as she did so, her body hidden in the shadows without her realizing it. When she looked up, she saw Makoto in the middle of her living room being held by Alan. "It was Alan..." she said to herself, tears mixing on her face with the rain. "...It was him...not me...." Sailor V turned and jumped down from Makoto's balconey. Her landing was once again less than graceful as her body came in contact with the wet grass beneath her. With her head casted down, Sailor V made her way through the night.... With no intentions of ever coming back... ################### ~I can see you in my mind coming on the line and opening this letter that I've sent a hundred times here's a picture of us too I look so good on you and can't you please forgive me for the hurt I put you through I'm sorry oh so sorry can't you give me one more chance to make it all up to you ~ "Two weeks..." Rei said as she layed back on her bed. "Just two more weeks left..." Minako sighed and laid her head on her arms and smiled a bit. "Two weeks left...and no more summer vacations. I can't believe this is our senior year." Ami sat the table in Rei's room with Usagi and Minako, except her head wasn't bowed. Instead it was buried in a book. "Don't forget college, minna." The other three girls looked at her and sweatdroped. "But, Ami," Usagi started. "This is our last year of *high school*. This is our *last* official summer. Once we get into college, we'll end up working those summers." Ami sighed and continued reading. "Well," Minako said raising her head. "This study session has gone no where fast. Can we just call this thing off along with the rest of study sessions for the rest of summer?" They all looked towards Ami whose brow furrowed. She sighed and closed her book. "Hai. We can." Usagi, Rei, and Minako all looked up at her and smiled brightly. Minako stood up and gathered her things. "I gotta go. I have to go home and get ready for my date tonight." Usagi smiled at her. "You still seeing that one guy who was in photoghrapy last year, Minako?" The blonde nodded. "Hai, I am. I'll see you guys later. Ja ne." "Ja," the other three choursed together. Minako waved and left thru the slididng door, closing it behind her. When Minako was gone, Usagi turned towards Rei. "Do you know what was up with Minako and Makoto-san the other day?" Rei shrugged and shook her head. "Iie, I don't. Makoto looked mad tho." Rei felt something rub up against her leg and smiled down at Ace who had woken up from his place on her bed, now wanting attention. She scratched the back of his head as he sat next to her and purred loudly. "If Makoto only knew that the girl she was getting an attitude with was the same girl she has tattooed on her back," Usagi laughed. "Hai," Rei agreed. "I thought it was very detailed picture of Minako. The weird thing is, when asked Makoto-chan about it, she said she designed the image herself. She even showed me the pencil drawing. She's very talented." Ami remained silent during the conversation about Makoto. And no one noticed it since she had picked her book back up and was again hiding behind it again. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Minako sighed as she walked into her apartment. Waiting for her was the only real man in her life, despite her boyfriend, Artemis. He meowed and ran up to her and rubbed up against her leg. She smiled slightly as she picked him up. He nuzzled his head against her face and she smiled a bit more. She placed him onto the couch and walked to her bedroom and sat down. Artemis followed her and jumped up onto the bed and sat next to her. He looked at her worriedly. "Mina? Minako...? Are you alright," he asked, rubbing his head against her arm. Minako reached over to her nightstand and picked up a photo of her and Makoto. In the picture, Makoto was standing behind Minako with her arms loosely but protectivly around the blonde. Mianko smiled slightly at the memory. It was taken at the orphanage on Minako's 13 birthday. "Did I tell you," Minako started without looking at the white feline, "who i saw at Rei's temple the other day?" Artemis blinked and shook his head. "Iie, you didn't. Who did you see?" "An old friend from England..." "Who?" Minako fell silent and didn't answer for a few minutes. "M-Minako? Who did you see?" "...Mako-chan..." "NANI!?" Artemis's eyes bugged out of his head as he stared at Minako who had no real statement on her face. "How could you *not* tell me, Minako??" She shrugged. "Slipped my mind, I guess." Artemis drew in a ragged breath and shook his head. "How could something like *that* just 'slip' your mind, Minako??" Minako shook her head and placed the picture back on the night stand, but never tore her gaze from it. "I don't know..." ~E-mail my heart and say our love will never die I know you're out there and I know that you still care e-mail me back and say our love will stay alive Forever...e-mail my heart ~
