I dont own Sailor Moon or related characters.
~~~Kino Makoto's Point Of View~~~
I strechted myself tiredly on my bed. It was a regular Friday night. Usagi was grounded for failing another test, Ami was studying, Rei had temple work and I hadn't heard from Minako. That worried me. I only had one option left to keep myself busy. My apartment was long overdue for a cleaning so, I figured I might as well get it done.
I had started with my room. Bad idea.
After about a hour of cleaning I abandoned the idea. Thunder crashed outside loudly. Rain swept along the city. Gray Clouds hug like long cloth in the air. Wind unleashed it's fury. This would be a perfect night if only my best friends were able to come over. I pictured Usagi stealing Rei's comics, Ami barely noticing, and Minako and I laughing at their antics. Minako.
My mind went to the self-proclaimed 'Goddess Of Love'. She truely lived up to her name after all. I hoped she was alright. She always calls on Friday nights, to make plans for the next morning.
It'd usaully be shopping, but sometimes movies, or a sleepover. What if something happened to her? What if some evil idoit decided to go after the Senshi, taking them down starting with our leader? Well, second in command, but sometimes Minako acted more like one than Usagi could. But when times got rough Usagi showed nothing more than her true character, willing to save everyone even if it meant losing herself in the process.
Wind whipped violently against my window. I felt bad for those who had to walk in this storm.
A bell rung and I immeditately recognized it. I loathed that doorbell sometimes. I sprung off my bed and through the living room, or what of one I had, to the door. Pulling open the door there was a huge shock...
...a dripping wet Minako. Her ever faithful compainon, Artemis, a solid white male cat stood beside her, just as soaked. But I'll be damned to say she looked hot. "Min-Mina!" I stuttered breaking the thought. This wasn't good. Minako didn't like going out when it was rainy. She said it "..frizzed up her hair" or something like that. I told her she was ridiculous. "Wha- why are you out in a storm like this? Do you know what could have hap-" I started to have a half spazz- half scold attack. But before I could begin, Minako stopped me by flinging herself onto me. I didn't care. Something was truely wrong with her. Minako racked out sobs like a store that was going out of buisness. I put my arms around my best friend. "Whats wrong Minako?" At my feet Artemis shook himself, reminding me they were both wet and cold. "Oh come in. You gotta get dry you guys!" I said feeling quite stupid. You dummy! You let you best friend stand there for what five minutes dripping wet, cold and crying? I slapped myself mentally for that one.
Minako whimpered out something along the lines of "Okay.." Minako wasn't a soft spoken person like Ami. She spoke her mind if you liked it or not. I had grown so used to this it was quite strange hearing her being so.. un-Minako. She stepped inside along with her cat, and I shut and locked the door. Not that we couldn't take care of ourselves, but it just helped narrow down idoits from hardcore theives. I went to the hall closet and retrieved a few towels for Mina and Artemis. "Here."
I handed them to my basiclly sister and they both thanked me for them. You'd think a talking white cat with a golden moon symbol wouldn't be something you'd see everyday. You hang around Usagi and us, you see two, sometimes three. Artemis' love, Luna, Usagi's cat, and feline protector, has a kitten with lover-boy. But, we didn't see little Diana too much, since she always stays with Chibi-Usa,
who's safe in the future now. Or, I guess she's safe. Neo-Queen Serenity would send her back if it wasn't. This always confused me. We had a Serenity with white hair, princess Serena's mother. Then everyone died in the past, on the moon kingdom, where Serenity ruled. Serena was incarnated into Usagi. Her guardians were also thrown into the future- or I guess it'd be present now. Ami,
Rei, Minako and I those lucky people. Here's where it got even more confusing. In the future Usagi has a daughter, with the love of her life, also a reincarnate, Mamoru. Usagi was the daughter's name to match her mother. Everyone just nick-named her Chibi-Usa as a joke since she was so little. I wondered about my future. Would I marry someone and fufill my dreams?
Minako snapped my head back from the time-warp of my mind.
"..Thanks Mako. I just needed to talk to you." Her voice was very uneasy. I didn't like it. She sounded too upset. "You're still wet." I noticed. "Let me get something for you to change into." Minako was about the same size as me, I was just a little taller. I doubt that would make that much of a difference."Oh- Mako that's not neccesary!" She half-whined. Good. The real Minako I had known, and grown to love was coming around. "I know its not. I just... want to." I said before walking off into my bedroom. Hmm. I tossed things from my drawers to my bed so I could see them. I'll clean it back up later. I didn't mind..
too much. Hmm. What for Minako to wear... I thought about it. I didn't get too much thinking until I heard my name. "Makoto." Artemis stood in the doorway. "Hmm?" I turned to him. "Something is seriously wrong with Minako, isn't there Artemis?" I knew he wouldn't lie to me. He hesitated before answering.
"Yes Makoto. Something truely is.."
