Ok! I'm inspired, I'm exited, and I…I will post this NOW. Sorry it took so much to write this, but I had a writer's block for some time. Then, through youtube, which is the cause of my love for SM, I saw a video which inspired me with the song Every Time we Touch. It just inspired me. I think this is one of my fav. chaps and it just makes me excited. Please tell me what you think. Will be posting as fast as I can.
Disclaimer: I want SM for Christmas please, so just put a big bow in it. Love purple….
II. New Lives
She couldn't believe it. He was unbelievable!!
For years she had hated that man, for years he had done things which she hated.
Yuuichirou Kumada was the man that would kill Rei Hino.
Again, he had spied on her while she was reading the fire. Oh, how she hated that! Him too!
She was walking towards her room now. The one and only place she could be still, and ALONE, of course, when Usagi wasn't around searching for some of her mangas, which she had hidden so very well this time.
She stopped dead at her tracks, she could feel sweat, cold sweat starting to form on her forehead. Her hands felt cold and sweaty too, and for the strangest reasons of all, her heart pumped so fast, she thought it would come out through her throat soon.
The man she so hated, was sitting on the inner patio, a place that couldn't only be reached by inside the house. But what was so strange about this site, one asks? He was wearing no shirt; his hair was in a low ponytail. She could well see his back, his muscles, well defined muscles.
Her mouth felt dry, her legs felt like gel. She had to look somewhere else, but she couldn't, she…she wouldn't.
Just when she felt enough will power to move, which felt like hours for her, but in reality where just mere seconds, Yuuichirou…
"Hino-san?" he asked turning to see her.
Lost in what to do, and lost in all the emotions and the rush of the moment, she turned as fast as she could and went to her room. Closing the door, she leaned against it, eyes wide, and it was then when she found out…for so many years she had tried to hide a truth, it was time, to let her feelings free.
OoO
"I'm home."
Once again, Makoto Kino arrived to her apartment. For the last few months she had felt lonelier than before, for this she had decided to fill her 'home' with plants.
At first she had thought about a pet. A dog would do good, they were active, playful, faithful, but, they consumed too much time. A cat, they were more calm, good to be with, just to sit and read, but again, she had no time to arrive home, so the cat would be rather lonely most of the time. The worst time was at night and the morning. She woke up to find no one to talk to.
She had just broken a relationship. Who was she kidding? That wasn't even a relationship, the guy just wanted to take her to bed. She wouldn't allow that, did not allowed it. He got furious, she dumped him that same moment.
So, she decided to fill her house with plants. They were nice, quiet, she could dedicate some time to them, and even got a goldfish. Of course, some of the girls said it looked like a 'greenhouse'.
For now, her time was divided in three. Part number one, the one that took most of her time, an apprentice in a restaurant. Yes, she was young and had much to learn yet. She was barely 19. Between school and work, she didn't have much time. But she would have her restaurant. When she turned 21, she would have total control of the funds her parents had left her, she would do as pleased with it. She would mount her own restaurant.
Now, the second part, it was her friends. She didn't see them as often. Of course, they went to the same school, except for Rei, who attended the Catholic high school, and Amy, who had, somehow, manage to graduate two years in advance and was now in college, encouraged by her friends.
The third part of her time, was consumed by Koki, her goldfish, who did nothing but to swim around and blow bubbles, and her plants.
"Hey." She said softly, looking at said fish. He did what he always did. Blow bubbles, and as the bubbles went up, the tears went down…
OoO
One more night, one more day coming by and going through. Her life had changed in a great way with college. Ami Mizuno was not the same shy girl, in many aspects. Though, she still was the same in many ways. She had more friends at school now. She couldn't believe she had only 4 more years of med school to graduate. She was the youngest at her class.
To think, Mamoru had only 2 more years, Motoki had 3, and she had only 4 years left. Mamoru and Motoki were now 22, she was only 18.
Though her school and professional life were improving, her family life seemed to come down. She had not seen or known about her father in more than a year, he had only send a postcard to her for her birthday, which he missed for only 4 months, and her mother…her mother was never home.
She got home, did her stuff, went out or stayed; her mother arrived almost at midnight. Though she had more friends now, she barely had time to see her true friends, her sisters. She was so busy most of the time, she saw them once every two weeks, if she was lucky.
And her love life, her love life was as dead as the Sailor Senchi. They had not had a battle in over a year. She was starting to feel lost, lost in a world were she found no way out. She missed being Sailor Mercury, but most of it, she wanted something special.
But, she focused her attention in what was ahead. There was time. Time? What did that meant anyway? Who was she kidding? She was a 'genius', as much as she hated that title. Letting her book close with a rather hard way, she looked up at the stars, at the moon, searching her planet, Mercury.
Somehow though, she felt this was only the beginning.
OoO
"Motoki, stop it!" Minako Aino yelled at her, um, friend…special friend?
For the last weeks they had been seeing each other more often. It had all began a rainy night. Minako was trapped in the building, unable to go home. Motoki had offered to take her home after awhile, after all, it was time to close the place up. She happily accepted, and since then, it had been like that. Minako came straight from school, Motoki took her home every night, or in his free time, they spent time in the arcade or in the little cafeteria.
But now, Motoki had discovered a fragile point in Minako, a ticklish point, to be exact.
It had all started when Minako almost fell, face down. He grabbed her from her waist, and unconsciously touched one of her ticklish areas. Of course, she giggled, and now, she was being attacked by him.
"Ne, why should I stop?"
"Because you're killing me!"
"I couldn't think someone could die happier then."
Minako just looked at him, "You have no idea." She stated in the most serious tone she could, and for the first time ever, she noticed something deep in his eyes. Something she had always missed. What was that?
His deep blue eyes held up a sparkle, which was quite new. He was looking at his eyes, and then, without knowing it, she got closer to him.
Their noses touched lightly, bringing butterflies to her stomach, and she could feel him breathing harder, Minako was breathing even harder, and it was not because of the tickling. What was this she felt? It was strange, it was crazy, it was…it was just perfect.
They were about to close that inch, that tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny gab between their mouths when someone cleared his throat.
They both moved their heads to find Mamoru and Usagi standing near the door, both smiling knowingly. Minako could feel her cheeks going red, and Motoki stood rather harsh and quick. When did he end on top of her?
"Uh…" Motoki started, being cut by Usagi.
"We'll just wait outside." She said hanging herself of Mamoru's arm and taking him, well, dragging him, out of the room. She could feel her face go bright red when she saw Mamoru's grin directed toward Motoki, it was almost a smirk, and Usagi, she just winked at her! The door closed, and so, she decided to close this by closing the gap that had been left between her and Motoki, closing the gap between their mouths.
