I really enjoyed Shinkenger but I was kind of disappointed by the small plot where Takeru reverted back to his old self near the end. I really thought they rushed it and I thought that Mako would have more involvement in it. So here is my version of that small plot starting at the end of episode 39. Hope you all enjoy. Disclaimer I do not own Shinkenger.

Takeru/Mako: Connected Hearts

Ch 1 Reverting

The Shinkengers just stopped another of Amkumaru's schemes and the chapter to a close they just got back when Genta said.

"Alright time for a celebration will try my new sushi recipe!"

"Good idea." Chiaki started. "I'm starving here."

"I can't wait." Kotoha said.

"I'm in." Ryunosuke said. Then he said, "Mako how about you?"

But Mako didn't answer. She was busy looking at Takeru and thinking about what he said to her at the shed.

"I'm different!" Was what he said. "What did he mean by that?" She thought to herself. Just then she heard her name.

"Mako!" She turned to look and saw that it was Ryunosuke.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" She asked.

I asked if you wanted to come with us to Genta's cart to celebrate. Ryunosuke said.

Mako thought about it for a minute. Just then Genta chimed in.

"Hey Take-chan what do you say want to join?"

However Takeru didn't look at any of them he just said, "I'm going home."

Everyone just stood there in silence bewildered by their lords behavior.

After a few seconds of silence Mako spoke.

"Actually I'm pretty exhausted from today I think I'll go home as well."

"Um okay. Ryunosuke replied.

Mako arrived back at the Shiba House and found Takeru training.

"Takeru." Mako called out.

Takeru turned to look at Mako.

"What is it?" Takeru asked.

"Why did you blow us off like that?" Mako asked.

"I just didn't feel like going that's all. Takeru replied.

"Don't give me that." Mako said to him. "You're still being bothered by what Juzo said to you. You think opening up to us made you weak but he's wrong if anything you have gotten stronger. He doesn't know what true strength is. Juzo is just a demon out for blood."

"No I have gotten weaker. When we last fought I sacrificed my arm in order to finish him, but back there on the island I couldn't do it." Takeru said.

"Takeru it's true that sometimes you need to take a risk in order to win but if you don't value your own life then what is the point of having one then?" Mako fought back.

Takeru stood there in silence not knowing what to say this time.

"Takeru please I can help you." Mako said.

She was about to do her hug but then Takeru said,

"Stop it! You always think you can help people with just a hug?"

Mako was a little taken aback by this she never saw Takeru like this before.

"You give people hugs because you think it will make them feel better but in fact it's just a way to make you feel good since you never receive any from your parents."

Takeru realized that he went a little too far with that last one and was about to say something but Mako slapped him before he could. Then she said.

"You bastard. I give up with you. We all tried to be your friend but you just kept pushing us away but then I started to see you open up a bit then even more after Genta joined the group. But now you're back to that cold hearted creep. If you don't want anything to do with us then I don't want anything to do with you."

Takeru just looked at her then turned around and said. "Do what you want."

With that Mako ran into the house. Hikoma say her pass by he tried calling out to here but she closed the door to her room before she could hear him.

"I can't believe that guy." She thought to herself.

She then sat down and looked at some pictures they took after Takeru had defeated Juzo the first time. A couple of them were taken as a group but then she stopped at one with herself and Takeru. She smiled for a bit then remembered what he said.

"I was a fool to think he was actually a nice guy." She thought to herself again.

She continued with tears starting to fall from her eyes.

Meanwhile Takeru sat on the porch regretting what he said but kept saying to himself that is was better this way.

There is chapter 1. Hope you all enjoyed. Look forward for more to come.
