"My past has not defined me, destroyed me, deterred me or defeated me. It has only strengthened me."- Steve Maraboli

...

If you had asked me, a mere 24 hours a ago, if I would ever like to relive my past. I would have shuddered at the thought. I would have said no. I would have quickly changed the subject. My palms would get sweaty, my face hot and flushed. If you had asked me if I wanted to go back in time to a park, to a park in this particular district of Tokyo. I would have ran away. My heart would pound in my ears. The color would drain from my face. If you had told me that today, I would have to face down the absolute saddest moment of my entire life again. I would have never gotten out of bed. How do I know that I would do all of these things? Because it's happening right now.

Makoto stared, wide eyed into the nearby park. She walked like a lady possessed, across the street. A car slamming on its brakes, nearly hitting the zombie like brunette. Nephrite followed in pursuit. He yelled her name. She didn't respond. Mako braced herself up against a tree. Her lover running to her side.

"What is wrong, Love?" He asked, stroking a few stray pieces of hair from her face. Makoto said nothing. All she could manage was to bring up a lifeless hand and point ac"ross the soccer field, to the playground. Nephrite peered, at first not seeing anything. That's when he saw what all her discontent was about.

"What year is it?!" He yelled back at his group of comrades. As he reassuringly put a hand on his lady's shoulder. He felt her legs start to give out, her breath quickening. He lowered her to the ground.

She should've stayed in bed.

...

(Hours Before)

"Will these pitiful things, ever stop?!" The Senshi of Mars exclaimed. Sending another fireball towards the beast.

Another Youma. These days there were only a few stragglers left behind. They would rear their ugly heads and be vanquished into Moon dust. This was suppose to be just another routine battle. This was suppose to be just another ordinary day.

I relished in these skirmishes. I secretly wished they would occur more often. There was nothing better to me than feeling electricity in my palms, the static creeping up my spine. Mother Nature bending to my call. I am, of course, the Senshi of Jupiter. Battle is in our Blood. War courses thru our Veins. Sparring to Us is what Reading books are to those from Mercury. I am at my happiest during these times. Surrounded by those I love, and would sacrifice my life for. A caring soul beside me, who loves me for me. Who thinks fighting and strength in a woman is libidinous.

This Youma, seemed like any other. Tall, lanky, dark leathery appearing skin. Giant fangs and long razor sharp claws. I couldn't get over the large clock around its neck. I kept chuckling to myself as it reminded me of the American T.V personality Flavor Flav.

I stood back from the fray for moment. A certain gut instinct, suddenly had my heart pounding. I usually leave the Psychic abilities up to those who wield them best; Michiru and Rei for example. But something about this particular, rather harmless looking, monster had me on alert. Something in the pit of my stomach was saying, no screaming for me to get away. To take the Princess, my comrades and run. The beast had started to flee, as is protocol we followed.

Nephrite noticed the discouraging look on my face. He paused his jog, taking me by the hand. He asked if everything was alright. I nodded. Apparently my facade was not sufficient enough, as he still had a concerned look on his face.

"We need to hurry." Was all that I could manage

We caught up with our teammates.

"Well, let's us end this now." He playfully winked at me. We sprinted past the others. He ran slightly ahead, stopping in the road.

"Leg up!" He yelled at me.

I jumped into his awaiting lowered arms. He catapulted me into the sky. I called out an incantation, and as if Jove himself were here I whipped a bolt of lightning down upon the creature.

I landed gracefully to the ground. Waiting for the smoke to clear. I remember Minako shouting at Usagi to finish off the demon. I saw thru the smoke, the clock that dangled from the beasts neck was cracked. It was emanating a rather eerie glow. I felt the ground start to tremble slightly.

"Run, Run, Run!" I shouted turning on my heels. Everyone stood for a brief moment. I barely got to Usagi, knocking her to the ground and covering her with myself. Just as I did, an ear piercing sound rattled thru us. Followed by an explosive shockwave and bright light. Then silence.

...

I winced as I sat up. I looked around rather confused as I made eye contact with Haruka. The sandy blonde looking equally as bewildered. We had somehow ended up in a small alleyway. All tangled together, I'm sure we were quite a sight. At some point we had detransformed, which in this case was very fortunate.

Haruka shook Michiru, as I did the same to Nephrite. Slowly, everyone regained consciousness.

"Well, I don't know about you all. But I am surely ready for bed!" Haruka laughed. We strolled to the end of the narrow alley. As we exited to the street, everyone came to a screeching halt.

"Where exactly are we?" Minako questioned

"I'm actually not sure either." Kunzite replied

We all walked down the sidewalk aways, trying to locate some sort of recognizable structure. Zoisite pulled out his phone from his pocket.

"Well damn, my phone isn't working." He scrunched his face

One by one we all tried our cellular devices. None of them working. Ami surmised that it must've been the frequency of the blast, it must've destroyed the internal components of our phones. That definitely seemed logical at the time.

There it was again. That nagging feeling. I had been here, in this district of Tokyo before, but when? Why? I glanced around. There was a small coffee shop up ahead.

"Anyone want to stop for a brew?" Mamoru inquired. Everyone nodded. I for one was famished. We entered the quaint little shop. And there siting at a table was a little boy with light brown hair and a pair of very recognizable cerulean eyes. I made eye contact with his Mother and quickly looked away. I felt the color drain from my face. I had this horrible realization. But it couldn't possibly be true. Before thinking, I ran out the door. Clutching onto the hand railing outside. I heard the door open and shut. My mind was reeling. My pulse racing. All I wanted to do was run. Now.

"Are you ok Mako? You didn't get hurt in the fight did you?" A faint little voice asked

I mustered a smile for the small girl.

"I'm ok Hotaru, thank you very much for asking though." The small girl smiled in return.

"There is something strange about this part of Tokyo. I don't recognize anything. I just have this feeling..." I cut her off

"Like we aren't suppose to be here?" I finished for her

"Precisely."

Hotaru and Myself had become more like our own Yin and Yang. Which was inevitable. Our planets are opposites. Saturn bringer of Death and Destruction and Jupiter the giver of Life and Nature. They balance each other's power. Since the beginning, the Senshi from these two planets have been drawn to each other. I could be her Brawn and she could be my Brain. It worked. We had an odd bond that had only gotten stronger after Galaxia. She understood me in a way I don't believe any other Senshi could. As our age gap lessened I found myself exceedingly protective of her. It was something Setsuna had reminded Haruka and Michiru would happen, and to get used to. I was still adjusting as well. In the beginning we were such opposites, that I never dreamed us being close.

I could tell from the look on her face that she was still concerned.

"Hey! Look a park! Can we go for a walk around the pond?" She eagerly asked

"Sure, let's wait on your Haruka-Papa though. She'd kill me dragging you off into unknown lands." I managed another smile. When in all actuality I wanted to scream. I wanted to stay as far away from that park as possible.

Nephrite exited.

"Man, this little shop is waaaaay behind the times. They still use a credit card imprinter! I didn't even know those still existed." He laughed. Wrapping his arms around his significant other.

"Hazelnut, frozen with a pump of cinnamon and a drizzle of chocolate." He grinned, obviously proud himself

"Thank you, babe." I replied. Giving him a quick kiss.

We all sat down outside the little cafe. Usagi chowing down on a muffin and a piece of coffee cake.

"These are so good Mako! Please make me some when we get back home!" She squealed in delight

I gave Mamoru a nod. As I finished I glanced up into the park. I saw it. What I had been dreading all afternoon. I couldn't help but get closer. It's like watching a train wreck. Why are humans so drawn to things that hurt them?

I vaguely remember anything else. When I came to I was under a tree in the park. Surrounded by my friends. Ami checking my pulse. Haruka dotting over me like an over protective Hen. Nurse Minako with her hand on my forehead, perhaps checking my temperature.

"I'm fine. I'm fine." I squawked. Trying to brush them all off.

"What happened? What's wrong?" Usagi bent down to ask. Those eyes. So full of hope and forgiveness. I've never been able to fib around her. Ever. And she knows it to.

"I'm ok. Really." I grabbed Nephrite's arm. He looked at me worried. He had seen what brought me to my knees. I could tell he was trying to muster up the words to explain.

I walked away slowly. Sitting on a park bench. I glanced across the park again. I'm a glutton for punishment I guess. There they were. It was a perfect day, just as I remembered it being.

Minako approached me first. She sat down next to me.

"What's wrong Mako?" She asked, her voice genuine.

I sighed, heavy.

"See that couple over there. The one close to the swings?" I pointed. My blonde friend nodded.

I closed my eyes as tears started to brim. My hands started to shake. She took my right hand in both of hers, giving it a gentle squeeze of reassurance.

"See the little brunette bobbing around blowing dandelions?" Again she nodded

"Those are my parents Minako. And that is me..."
