Chapter 1: The Look
Crimson and Clover
Makoto sat in a booth looking out the window in the Crown Café. It's been one month since her and Minako broke up. Makoto growled at the memory of walking in and finding Minako in bed with Usagi. The rain beat against the window as if to wash the horrid memories away forever. A few bolts of lightning streaked across the sky and the loud fierce thunder rolled like the storm in Makoto's soul. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone sitting across from her. Thinking it was Ami Makoto spoke annoyed. "Please Ami-chan I just want to be alone right now."
Rei smiled a little. "Well seeings how I'm not Ami-chan I don't have to leave."
Makoto looked across the table at the raven haired girl. "Hey Rei-chan, gomen ne I thought you were Ami-chan. She's been trying to cheer me up fer a week."
"Don't worry about it girl, I know how you feel though. I want you to come spend the weekend at the temple it will be quiet enough for you to train/meditate. Plus it'll give us some time to talk."
Makoto nodded a little. "That sounds nice Rei-chan." For the first time Makoto looked at her raven haired friend. "For gods sake Rei-chan you're soaking wet." Makoto took off her jacket and handed it to her shaking friend. "Let me drive you back to the temple Rei-chan. We'll stop at my place so I can grab my stuff and then we'll get you home and dry ok."
Rei smiled and a soft blush colored Rei's cheeks as the older girl handed her, her leather jacket. I never really noticed how beautiful Mako-chan really is till now. Taking the jacket Rei blushed more. "Lilly of the Valley Mako-chan?"
Makoto chuckled. "Yea kinda ruins the bad ass look I got huh."
Rei laughed. "No Mako-chan it doesn't. Besides you're only a bad ass to those who don't know you."
