Chapter One: It said "We"

In Crystal Tokyo

Makoto was sitting under a tree waiting for Minako. She had a lot on her mind, and she needed to get something off her chest. Soon, she heard Minako call her name, which made her flash a weak smile. Minako smiled back and wondered what Makoto wanted to talk about. When she asked what was up, Makoto's smile disappeared and became serious.

"What's wrong, Mako-hime?" Minako asked. Without any hint of hesitation, Makoto looked her in the eyes and replied, "I don't love you anymore." Minako eyes widened with shock. How could Makoto say something like that? "You're joking, ne?" she asked shakily.

Makoto shook her head 'no.' "What did I say or do?" Makoto shook her head again and replied, "You didn't say or do anything. I just let my lust get the better of me." Makoto stood up from her sitting position and walked by Minako.

Minako stared at the tree, wondering what she had done. She couldn't believe Makoto had suddenly broken up with her like that. Soon, she was unable to hold back the tears and let loose. She slowly fell to her knees and sobbed quietly.

Makoto, however, took out her communicator and contacted someone. "Did you complete your mission?" the man said. "Hai," she said with sorrow. "Don't be like that. Now no harm can come to her and now you can be with me," the man replied as broke contact. Makoto sighed as she turned off her communicator. "Yeah…now I can be with you," she whispered to herself as she let a single tear escape.

Present

Makoto walked up the steps of the Hikawa Jinja. She always went there to talk to Rei about a problem even at night. She was the only one she could talk to at this point.

Makoto slowly walked into Rei's room to find her sleeping. It was two o'clock in the morning after all. Makoto tried tugging on her shirt but to no avail. "Rei, Yuuichirou needs to talk to you," she whispered in her ear. At first, Rei didn't say anything. However, she turned on her side and replied, "Tell him to talk to me later."

Makoto sighed. "Usagi needs to talk to you." Suddenly, Rei woke up with a start. When she realized that Makoto had lied about Usagi, she looked at Makoto with anger. The brunette only smiled. "Don't worry. Usagi-chan will see you in a few hours," she said.

All the anger vanished from Rei's face and was replaced with shock. Before she had the chance to ask her how she knew about her crush for their odangoed friend, Makoto cut her off. "It's too obvious, Rei-chan." Rei blushed at her friend's discovery.

"So, why are you here again?" she asked with her anger returning. "It's, like, two in the morning." Makoto sat on the side of her bed and her expression slowly changed to sad. "I had a dream about…Minako and me…in Crystal Tokyo" Rei sat up and nodded, waiting for her to continue. "To get straight to the point, I told her that I didn't love her anymore. The worst part about it is that I was told to."

Rei looked at the brunette in disbelief. "Who told you to?" she finally asked. Makoto looked her in the eyes and answered, "I think it was…Mamoru-kun." The raven-haired girl gaped at her. "What makes you think it was him?"

"His voice," she replied. "And he said now no harm can come to her and now I can be with him." Rei continued to gape at her in disbelief. Makoto looked away from her and looked in her hands. She sighed and buried her face in them. "My life sucks," she mumbled. Suddenly she felt Rei's arms wrap around her waist and her head rest on her shoulder. "No it doesn't. Everyone has his or her own problems and stress," she said softly.

Makoto removed her hands from her face and hugged Rei back. "Arigatou, Rei-chan," she whispered. "No prob, Mako-chan. Now let's get you home," she replied as she stood up.

She went to her dresser and put on a pajama bottom. After that, the two left the jinja. There was an uncomfortable silence that seemed to last an eternity. About halfway through the walk, Rei stopped at the entrance of a park and motioned Makoto to stop, too. She was about to ask what was wrong but Rei silenced her. She took her hand and led her inside.

As they came to a stop Rei said, "No time to explain, just transform. MARS CRYSTAL POWER! MAKE UP!"

"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER! MAKE UP!"

Suddenly, Sailors Jupiter and Mars stood where the two girls once did. "Come out, youma! I know you were following us!" Mars shouted. Jupiter shot her head to Mars' direction. "It knows who we are?"

Before Rei could tell Jupiter about the oncoming danger, the youma slashed her in the lower back. Jupiter winced from the pain and eventually kneeled down. Soon she felt numb. She tried moving. "What the…? I can't move," she groaned.

The youma snickered at its accomplishment. "To answer your question, we do know who you are, Inners and Outers," it said. "The reason you can't move is because of my blade."

It held up its katana. "My blade can paralyze my opponent once in contact, leaving him or her to bleed to death." Mars was behind the youma and took this as an opportunity to strike. "FLAME SNIPER!"

The flame arrow sped towards the youma. It jumped out the way and instead the arrow sped towards a paralyzed Jupiter. Mars did a couple of hand signs.

Instantly, the arrow went in the direction of the youma. The arrow hit it and it fell to the ground. "We will defeat you one way or another," it said in pain before it died. Jupiter regained her ability to move and stood up and detransformed, as did Rei.

"How did you control the arrow?" Makoto asked with amazement as she leaned on Rei for support. Rei flashed a smile as she took out her communicator and replied, "A lot of practice."

Then Haruka's face appeared on the screen. "What?" came her groggy answer. "We need a ride to the hospital. We're at 5th Street Park. Thanks," Rei said as she turned off the communicator. "Rei-chan, it said 'we.' Do you think there are more?" Makoto asked as her eyes grew heavy. The last thing she saw was Rei nodding.
