~~~~~~~~STILL MAKOTO'S POV~~~~~~~ I stared at Artemis. I hated it when I was right about these kinds of things. Something was effecting Minako, and doing it badly. Whoever or, whatever better stop or it'll get its head pounded in.
Wow. I keep thinking so voliently. They would pay though.
"I don't know whats irking her so badly." Artemis hung his head and shook it a little. "I feel like I've failed her as a guardian.." I went over and kneeled by him. I placed my hand gently between his ears on his forhead.
"It's not your fault Artemis." I explained. "Yeah. But I'm supposed to keep danger from her. Physical or emotional."
To keep danger from someone.. To protect.. To guard. I've always been a very protective person. I understood what he meant one hundred precent. "That's what were all here for 're not 't worry."I smiled."We'll find whatever's messing with Minako and make it stop." I got off my knees and grabbed an orange tee and sweat pants with stars on them to match. I think these really were Minako's in the first place. I wouldn't have bought them. I went into the larger room where Minako was still standing. Yep, definately an issue Minako would have made herself at home long before now. "Hey Minako. Here ya' go." Minako hugged me and I returned the embrace. Someone was feeling hugg-y tonight for sure.
I didn't care. I had bigger issues, like finding Minako's troubles.
Minako left into the other room.I plopped down onto ny couch. Artemis strolled through and curled up on the table, I think he fell asleep there too. Minako returned asking,"..Where can I put these for you?" I hopped up and took her wet clothes to the sink, rung them out and layed them on the counter. "Thanks alot Mako." She smiled weakly. I noticed one last thing was still wet on her body. "Come here" I said. She cocked her head sideways a little and obeyed. I spun her around and removed her trademark- Minako Aino red bow from her hair. "This has to dry too, you know." I layed it along with her clothes on a towel. "But-" Minako began to protest but stopped. "Come on." I motioned with my head to the living area. She and I sat down on the couch. Well, I more like fell in comparision. Mina looked different without that one touch that was always there. I thought about bringing that up, on why she never failed to wear it. No. I get sidetracked too easily. Focus on the matter at hand, I told myself. "...What's been bothering you Mina?" There was no turning back now.
I could immediately see her eyes water. Oh shit. What have I started?
Minako broke into tears. She buried her head against my chest. Oh fuck. Dammit Makoto, what have you brought up! "It's okay Mina.." I wrapped my arm around her and she continued to lay there, against me crying. I can't say I didn't like it. Well, the crying part I wasn't too fond of. But after a while sobs turned to quiet, muffled, snores.
Minako was asleep.. with me. I hit myself mentally once more. Quit thinking like that! She's your best friend you idoit! Artemis opened one eye.
He looked at me. "..She really loves you Makoto." The fire's Rei read from would have been put to shame from how hot my face felt once he said that. I hoped it didn't show. I laid my head softly on hers and whispered in her ear,
"I love you too Mina" before giving into dark.
