Nothin' Has Changed

Her words, cold as ice. Vibe so different. It's like her whole personality was gone and left no trace.

If Senketsu had the time, he'd be terrified. For the sake of his only real friend, he had to be strong.

"Ryuko, why are you doing this? We're supposed to be friends!"

"You're a monster!.. Just like me. I shouldn't be here. I hurt people, Senketsu! I've lost control before! I mean, what makes you think I won't do it again?"

...

"... What if Mako isn't there to save me next time? I can't keep putting people in danger. I WON'T put Her in danger!" Ryuko shouted as loud as she could. She stood beside a night stand where the two spoke in private. Ryuko slammed her fist into the small table and heard a loud thud. The girl completely discarded the blood and small flesh wound she caused to her own hand.

Her teeth chattered violently as hot, bitter tears streamed down her face. Ryuko kept thinking about hurting the people she cared about. The friends she's come to know, The Nudist Beach, Mankanshoku family, and Mako..

The last thing she wanted was to hurt a hair on Mako's adorable, little head. She'd curse herself a million times over if that happened. No, she'd die before that happened.

The black and red sailor suit knew when it wasn't time to provoke a conversation. This would be a good time to drop it. It was clear for him to see that Ryuko had some small, hidden feelings for the brown-haired girl. Even if she didn't know it was there, he could tell.

Without another word, Senketsu left the room, leaving a crying Ryuko there. She slowly slid down the wall she leaned up against. Biting her lip as hard as she could, she hugged her knees as close to her chest as she possibly could. The poor girl's sobs became louder as time passed.

Ryuko stood in that room for several hours before her eyes were completely red and puffy. She had no tear left, but her heart was still full of anger. Her ugly, disgusting heart make purely out of life fibers.

Ryuko just felt so empty inside. Wanting to die and just give up on life.

The saddest thing is, she knew that no matter what happened, she'd never be able to die..

Just like that horrid woman she's forced to call her mother.

The girl finally decided to pick herself up and wipe away the tears that had already dried up and hardened on her face. She had already let the entire day slip through her fingers. Between the day before today, and her crying session, she was just physically and mentally drained.

Ryuko opened the door to the silent room and saw that it was already night. Mama Mankanshoku was cooking dinner already, and everyone else was busy doing their own thing.

The older woman was surprised to see Ryuko up. She smiled widely and was glad to see that she was feeling a bit better.

"Ryuko-chan! Thank goodness you're alright."

Ryuko gave off a small laugh, barley having enough energy to do it. Mako's mother looked closer at Ryuko and noticed her eyes and face. Motherly instinct made her worry.

"Oh my, Ryuko! You look so sick, dear! Please relax, sit down."

"N-no, no, Ms. Mankanshoku.. I-I just need a walk."

Mako's mom nodded her head, understandingly.

"Oh, a-and do you know where Mako is..? There's something I need to tell her."

Mama Mankanshoku giggled and nodded. She pointed right outside, placing one hand on her cheek as smiled.

"She's right outside, Ryuko-chan, oh, and Senketsu is still here.. Don't worry. She gave her a wink, making it known that she knew that Ryuko still had a bond and worried about Senketsu. As of now, Ryuko sported the outfit she used to wear when she first showed up at this crazy city with the crazy school.

Ryuko took a deep breath as she walked towards the door and opened it. Taking a peek at the sky, she realized it was such a beautiful night. The stars were shining so brightly, and the wind left a cool, refreshing breeze along the whole area.

And there she was. Ryuko thought she looked as adorable and as stunning as ever. Has Ryuko ever wondered why she kept feeling these things for the girl? Of course she has. Not a day has gone by where she didn't. Ryuko was well aware of her feelings, but tried to make it seem like they weren't there. But now, she decided to stop avoiding them. She was going to make them clear to herself.

The girl was actually almost afraid to confront her after being so mean and blowing her off. And even though she was going to make her feelings clear to herself, this didn't mean she would tell Mako, or would she? Ryuko didn't even know.

...

Without stalling even more, Ryuko walked over the brown haired girl. Ryuko's heart raced the closer she got. Why was this happening to her? She has never been this nervous before.

She stopped right behind the over girl, sitting down so that they could be at the same level. Before talking about anything, Ryuko needed to apologize. Such a sweet girl never deserves something like that.

"...I'm so sorry, Mako. I didn't want to ignore you.. I didn't mean to hurt you." She looked away in shame.

"Ryuko-chan!" She turned around in surprise. It's as if Mako didn't notice the other girl behind her.

"You're okay, You're okay! Yay!" Mako tackled her as Ryuko fell over with Mako resting on top as she hugged her tightly. She was so happy to see her friend.

Mako placed both of her palms on the floor, picking her upper body off of her, and leaving the lower half to rest on Ryuko's body.

This instantly made Ryuko blush. Mako sobbed with sadness mixed with joy. She smiled so wide, and that made Ryuko beam for the first time in a while. But then, a wave of fear washed over the young hero.

What if Mako didn't feel the same way..?

She left that question to be answered another time and brushed it off for not. Ryuko giggled and reached one of her hands up to touch Mako's cheek.

"Tears don't suit that pretty, little face.." She said just above a whisper as she took a gentle finger, wiping away a small tear.

"Though.."

She paused.

"They also do make your eyes look so beautiful."

Mako didn't know what to say. This coming from her friend somehow seemed very right. She felt her small cheeks heating up and they slowly went from pink into a deep crimson.

"Ryuko-chan.."

Ryuko couldn't stop smiling. She continued to stroke her fingers along her cheek, waiting for Mako to speak.

"Ryuko.. Don't worry about earlier.. It's okay! I'm just glad to see that you're feeling better."

"You've been a huge help for that."

She said while taking her other hand and placing it on her other cheek.

Ryuko was unaware of what she was doing, and didn't know that she was going a bit too far, but it didn't seem like Mako wasn't enjoying it either.

"R-Ryuko..?" She blushed even brighter.

"I'm just so afraid of hurting you. I can't put you in danger again! I won't! I CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT YOU!" She shouted.

Suddenly, it hit her.

Ryuko gasped and went wide-eyed. Mako smiled down at her sweetly. Ryuko had no idea, but she was crying as well as Mako.

"Tears don't suit that gorgeous face either, silly."

Mako knowingly brushed a tear away, and moved some hairs away from Ryuko's face to see everything.

On a whim, Mako slowly leaned down. Without a word being said, she locked lips with the hero. Ryuko tensed up a bit, but then eased into her, wrapping her arms around the small girl's waist.

Before they knew it, minutes has gone by, but their lips still touched over and over. They giggled and smiled into ever kiss and Mako slightly poked her tongue on Ryuko's lips, asking for permission to enter. Without stalling, their small tongues danced together, and it just felt so right to be this way.

When they were finished, Mako pulled back ever so slowly, looking deeply into Ryuko's huge blue eyes..

"What are we doing..?"

"I don't know, but I don't think this has to be where it ends either."

A/N: That's it! I hope you enjoyed! :DDDD Hopefully it wasn't too short. Let me know if I should continue this ^^
