Prologue
Song is: Unaffected by Hoobastank
Makoto sighed as she mulled over her thoughts. It had been just over a week ago that she had committed a heinous crime. She did what no friend should ever do. She stole someone. She confessed her love and undying need for the person she loved and in return they accepted it. They had left their previous lover to be with Makoto. The two of them had tried perilously to get their friends to accept them and forgive them. Makoto knew it was going to be a hard process and she had already spent most of the week crying.
There never seems to be
Because what I believe
A moment I'm not trying
To show them who I am
Why can't they understand
The things that they're denying?
They're denying...
Makoto sighed heavily as she lay back down on her bed. It had been a month now and she couldn't be happier to be with her love. She knew deep down in her heart, that these were the arms she was meant to be in. If only they hadn't been wrapped around one of her friends previously. She recalled the day before when she had been cornered by her four closest friends. Accusing fingers and eyes, they all were looking down on her. She couldn't blame them, after all, she was a sinner. She, more than anyone, knew that you should never steal from your friends.
She stifled a whimper as the tears stung her eyes. She didn't think it could be possible. That she could be so happy and sad at the same time. She didn't know what she should do. Should she just apologize and take everything back like her friends suggested. Say that they were right… that it was just a passing fancy. Even though it hurt her deeply to even think of such a thing. The tears began to pour from her eyes and she turned on her side, burrowing her face into a pillow.
So what should I do?
Just lay next to you
As though I'm unaffected?
And who should I be
When they're judging me
As though I'm unaffected?
Makoto gasped as she felt a strong pair of arms wrap around her trembling form. She immediately turned around to face her love, Haruka. "Mako-babe… Are you okay?" Makoto didn't trust her voice at the moment so she nodded instead. Haruka knew better than to accept that. She knew Makoto had suffered more than herself since they became a couple. She had been left at the mercy of all the girls, while Haruka had been on tour with Michiru… which was quite scary in itself. Haruka cupped the beautiful brunette's chin and made her look at her. What she saw was incredible pain and sorrow. It broke her heart… maybe she should have kept her feelings to herself… just accepted fate as it was handed to her.
"Do you regret it Makoto…" Haruka really hadn't wanted to ask, but before she was able to stop herself it had already been said. "NO! Haru… Being with you, I have never experienced such happiness. They will come around… I am sure of it." Haruka bit her lower lip.
A chance they'd never give
To ever want to live
The life that I am made of
There's nothing left to prove
My heart's forever true
What is it they're afraid of?
Afraid of...
Haruka hugged the curvy female to her side as they walked through the park. It had been roughly three months now, and they were still holding strong. The Senshi still refused to accept them, and had even gone as far as isolating them from the group. Makoto was once again a loner at school and people were afraid to approach Haruka without Michiru. Regardless of this, however, they still loved and cherished each moment together. It was painful to be apart, especially with the treatment they were receiving.
And like every night, Makoto stayed with Haruka. They both slept better when together. When they were together it seemed like all their problems were so far away. Haruka looked at Makoto's sleeping face and began to recall all the misdeeds done to the both of them. Sure they had deserved to be yelled at and screamed at… but Haruka wondered if they deserved all of this. She looked up at the ceiling and sighed heavily. She felt Makoto squeeze her hand and smiled.
So what should I do?
Just lay next to you
As though I'm unaffected?
And who should I be
When they're judging me
As though I'm unaffected?
It's six months now. Makoto and Haruka no longer have Senshi power, and while it might be a relief they can't help but miss it. They are walking down the road now, to their favorite café. Haruka pulled out Makoto's chair for her and scooted her in once she had taken it. She sat across from her love and smiled kindly. The café was abnormally packed today, but the two paid no mind. That is until they heard the cold laughter and a finger crudely pointed at Makoto. A fellow race car driver was cackling like a mad man with all his groupies in tow. Makoto's face turned crimson red as she didn't understand the situation.
Haruka stood up abruptly, anger all over her face. "Oh Haruka… I can't believe you left that vision of a woman for an ordinary school girl. She isn't even that cute, but she does have a nice rack." In rage Haruka grabbed her fellow race car driver by the shirt collar and glared at him menacingly. "Say anything about Makoto again and I will make sure you never race again." Makoto tried to control her emotions as she felt like crying. She looked up when she heard one of the fan girls speak, "Oh my god! That is Makoto Kino. Hahaha She is such a loser, she doesn't even have any friends. I can't believe a guy like Haruka would go for such a loser! Hahaha"
Makoto's ears burned as she stood up and faced the girl. She instantly recognized her as a girl that attended her school, of course, she would have to to know about her. "You better be quiet!" Looking at Haruka, she grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the café.
Before they even saw my face
They knew that I was not the same
And decided I was not the one for you
For you...
Makoto had spent the rest of the day crying and clinging to Haruka like a lost child. It was hard for Haruka to accept all that had happened to them. She had caused Makoto so much pain since they had gotten together. But whenever she brought up that maybe she would be better off without her… Makoto would cry harder than ever. Bottom line... she could never leave Makoto. She never wanted to, and it was apparent Mako-babe felt the same. Haruka squeezed the trembling form closer to herself. She never wanted to let go of her. It was different from when she was with Michiru… Michiru had been her rock, she was always calm and was good at controlling Haruka's outbursts.
Makoto was different… Makoto made Haruka feel like she never knew an angry thought in her life. Like everything in the world was perfect, even if it was crumbling down around them. Haruka had cherished Michiru as someone she wanted to be with forever… Makoto was someone she needed to be with forever. She loved Makoto like she never loved before, she only wished her Goddess didn't have to cry so much.
So what should I do?
I'm not unaffected
And who should I be?
I'm not unaffected
So what should I do?
Just lay next to you
As though I'm unaffected?
And who should I be
When they're judging me
As though I'm unaffected?
They weren't unaffected, but they lived in happiness the best they knew how.
Author's notes: So… my favorite couple in Sailor Moon is Makoto and Haruka… don't know why there aren't very many of them here… :'(
So I will make them! :D
This is just a prologue by the way… I am planning for this to have 5 chapters… not including this prologue. :D Enjoy!
