Chapter Three: Complications and Consequences

The Senshi plus the Prince and the Princess followed Mars and Luna as they ran towards the source of the youma's presence. Two people were missing, though. Mine and Keiko. No one told them about the youma. Makoto said not to for their safety.

A few minutes later, Mars and Luna stopped suddenly in front of the park that was near the jinja. "Why? Why does it have to always be at a park?" Uranus sighed. "We were at a hospital once so be grateful if you're gonna be like that," Mars said. Then they entered the park. No one or nothing was there. "Are you sure the youma's here?" Venus asked. "Have I ever steered you wrong?" Mars asked. Venus was about to answer when Mars said, "Don't answer that. I know that a youma is here somewhere."

The group looked around cautiously when a camcorder hit Jupiter in the back of the head. Hard. "What the fuck? Who threw that my head?" she exclaimed as she turned around. The youma jumped out of a tree. "I did," the youma proclaimed proudly. "Why in the hell would you throw a camcorder?" Jupiter exclaimed again. The youma looked to the ground. "Well, I thought…since, well…I'm a…uh, surveillance youma…I thought…I would, um…attack with…something of…well…surveillance," the youma stammered timidly.

Jupiter growled as she rubbed her head. "You gonna wish you never met me 'cause today will be your funeral," she declared. The youma looked scared. It was visibly shaking as Jupiter walked towards it. "C'mon, Jupiter, you're scaring it," Uranus laughed. "That's the point," she growled seriously. Then suddenly a rose dropped at Jupiter's feet. "Oh, I wonder what that could mean," the Prince quipped. Tuxedo Kamen jumped down from his hiding place in the trees.

He ignored the comment and looked for the two girls. "You idiotic youma, they're not here!" he hissed. The youma gulped and looked around itself. "Master Mamoru's right…the girls, Mine and Keiko, aren't here," he chuckled nervously. "Why do you want both Mine and Keiko all of a sudden?" Minako asked.

Mamoru smirked. "That's for me to know and you to find out," he replied. "Anyway, I didn't come for a fight today but he did," Tuxedo announced as he pointed to the youma then left. They looked towards the youma. It had another camcorder in its hand, ready to throw at any moment with a smirk on its face. It had a plan up its sleeve. It threw the camcorder. Suddenly, there was a beeping sound coming from it. "Is that a…" the Prince trailed off. No one moved when suddenly another blonde in a fuku similar to Venus's caught it and threw it up over the youma's head. Another brunette in a fuku similar to Jupiter's caught it in midair and threw it at the youma's head. Then the camcorder exploded, killing the youma.

"So it was an explosive…" the Prince said. "And nobody called us why?" the not-so-chibi Chibi-Jupiter asked. "And don't we get a thank you?" the also-not-so-chibi Chibi-Venus asked. "What do you want first? The explanation or the thanks?" Jupiter smirked as she detransformed. "I don't know about you guys but I want those pancakes first!" Usagi exclaimed. "I second that," Atsuko agreed. They all went back to the Kaino residence. Mine and Keiko fumed silently as they noticed their questions were being avoided.

Tuxedo was watching them. He hid in a tree again as he watched Mine and Keiko. "Maybe that youma was right. They're very coordinated and can be what I need for my plans…"

With that Tuxedo left…seriously.


The next day

Makoto sighed. She was desperately trying to wake Mine and Keiko up for school. Minako tried to help but she gave up. So Makoto started with Mine. "Get up, Mine, you're gonna be late for school," Makoto sighed. Mine groaned. "I don't care. Just let me sleep," came her reply. "You're gonna get grounded in about 5 seconds if you don't get up."

"I don't care. You can pour cold or hot water on me, I still won't get up." Makoto sighed. She sat Mine up in her lap and took off her pajama top. "I thought you were old enough to dress yourself, but I guess I was wrong." Mine woke up suddenly and covered her breasts with her arms. "Mom!" Makoto only grinned and left the room. 'Keiko's turn,' she thought. Leo and Akari were under Mine's bed when she screamed. "What did Mako do now?" Akari groaned. Leo shrugged.

A scream filled the house. "Mako! What the hell do you think your doing?" Keiko shrieked as she experienced the same fate as Mine. Artemis, who was under her bed, had to cover his ears.

"I wouldn't use that tone of voice if I were you, young lady. Now hurry up and get ready for school," Makoto grinned as she left the room.

She went downstairs and into the kitchen to find Minako eating toast as she leaned against the counter. "Wow, babe, you woke them up faster then yesterday. How'd you do it?" Makoto smirked devilishly.

"I demonstrate later," she answered sensually. Minako began to smirk herself. "I think I'd like that."

"Don't worry, you will."


Minutes later…

Mine and Keiko rushed to the kitchen and grabbed their lunch. They ran out the door without breakfast as they said their good-byes. Outside, they saw Haruka on her motorcycle. "What are you doing here. Haruka-san?"

"Your moms called me earlier saying you would need help getting to school on time."

"Well, they were right," the two said. "Let's go!" Haruka grinned as she took off her helmet and passed it to Keiko and the spare to Mine.

"Then hop on." Haruka sped off, though not at her usual speeds. "Haruka-san!" the girls shouted. Mine ran as fast as she could to catch up. Then finally, she was beside the motorcycle and she hopped on.

"Hey that's not fair!" Keiko shouted. "She's right, Haruka-san, that wasn't fair. And we're late for school, too," Mine agreed as she put the helmet on. Haruka only laughed.

Keiko got behind the motorcycle. She grabbed Mine's outstretched hand and hopped on. "That was mean, Haruka-san," Keiko pouted. "The girl just wants to have fun," Haruka replied. "If you were referring to yourself as the girl then that statement was wrong," Keiko joked. "Yeah, Keiko's right. It should be, 'The cross dresser just wants to have fun,' Mine laughed. "Ha, ha, ha, very funny. It doesn't matter. The only reason you double-teamed me is because you're in love with each other. I'll let this one slide this time," Haruka shot back.

"You must have hit your head or something, Haruka-san. I'm mean, Mine's my best friend and I'm hers. Why would we be in love?" Keiko asked. "I'm may have accidentally fallen out of the bed today but that's besides the point. But don't worry you'll figure out the feeling sooner or later," Haruka shrugged. 'What feeling is she talking about? First Luna, now Haruka-san…' Mine thought. 'It's the same feeling Luna was talking about,' Keiko thought to herself.


Back at the Kaino residence…

Makoto and Minako had finished their quiet breakfast together and proceeded to the living room. They watched TV quietly as Makoto held Minako in her arms. "Hey, Mako?" Minako asked about an hour later with smirk. "Yes, my beautiful little lover?" Makoto asked. Then she noticed the smirk on her lover's face. "Oh no, you're smirking. What are you planning?"

"You said you'd demonstrate how you woke the girls up this morning," Minako answered. Makoto smirked. She pressed her lips against the crook of Minako's neck. The brunette kissed Minako's jaw line. Her hands stroked Minako's sides, careful not to tickle her. "You're teasing me, Mako," Minako moaned. Makoto grinned as she proceeded in to the next phase, which involved her hand crawling up her girlfriend's pajama top.

Then, Artemis came from Keiko's room. "Oh no, I came at love making hour," he muttered. "Don't be mad just because Luna still hasn't given you any," Minako shot back. Then Leo and Akari came down the stairs from Mine's room. "Crap, they're in the middle of love making hour," Leo mumbled. Makoto sighed. "There are too many cats in the room."

She got up and stretched. "I'm going out for a jog. Wanna come?" she asked. Minako pouted at her and crossed her arms. "Yes. Yes, I do." Makoto shook her head and went up the stairs to change. Minako sighed. "Dammit."


A few minutes later…

Makoto came down the stairs in her little jogging outfit. "See ya later, Mina," she said as she opened the door. When she did, she found Mine and Keiko. "What are you two doing here?" Makoto asked.

"Teacher told us to come back home," Mine groaned. "Why?" Then, hers and Keiko's began growling. "It was a mistake to skip the pancakes last night," Keiko muttered. Makoto sighed. "Go and eat what was supposed to be your lunch. See ya later." Then she left. Minako sighed again. "Dammit."

The girls looked at her. "Looks like you're having love complications," Mine observed. Minako shook her head. "It's not that. It's love making complications," she sighed. "Oh…that's a different story…I would ask you to share but then I wouldn't feel so good," Keiko stammered. Minako sighed again of frustration. "It doesn't matter anyway. You have your own love complications to work out," she said as she said the last part almost incoherently. "What was that, mom?" Keiko asked.

Minako shook her head and went up the stairs. There was a short silence. "Your mom's acting like a teen," Mine pointed out. "It's because of her love making complications," Artemis quipped.


Meanwhile…

Makoto was jogging to God knows where. Her legs seemed to have a mind of their own. She went by the park near the jinja. She was sure someone was called her name. But when she looked, no one was there so she kept jogging. She ended up at the steps of the jinja. She decided to visit Rei and Usagi for once. Once at the top of the steps, no one was there. She decided to look in Rei's room. She heard Rei's voice as she came to Rei's bedroom door. She opened it a crack and saw Usagi snuggled up to Rei as they lied on the bed with Luna sleeping at the foot of it. Rei was reading a book to Usagi. It was a cute sight.

"She ran in the rain. She didn't know where to look. She had only one more chance to make things right with her beloved. She checked all of her beloved's favorite places.

"Then she got to the pond. The place where they first met. The place where she first heard the words "I love you." She found a figure standing near it. She walked up to the figure. The figure turned around and gave her a dirty look. "What do you want?" she asked coldly. Usagi stepped closer towards the figure. "I want you…"

"Why don't you just leave? You've done that once before," the figure spat. "But, Rei, I didn't want to leave you! I just…"

"You regret that night, don't you? The night I told you I loved you. The night I showed you that what I said was true…"

"Rei don't talk like that! I didn't want to leave you!" Usagi cried. "Then why? Why did you only leave a note?" Rei asked. "I didn't anything to happen to you. Your father would've have done something to you if I didn't leave," Usagi explained as she cried harder. "What does my father have to do with this?" Rei asked cautiously. "He told he would harm you if I didn't leave…or worse." Rei looked at the crying girl. She was completely wrong about her.

"If this is true then answer me this: Do you love me?" Usagi looked at her with a shocked expression. She walked up to her beloved who embraced her. "Of course I do," she answered softly. "How much?" Rei asked, barely above a whisper. "With my body, heart, and soul." Rei leaned towards Usagi knowing what she said was true. Finally their lips met and started over…together. The end."

Rei closed the book and looked towards Usagi. "You used our names on purpose, didn't you?" she asked. "Yup. So did you like the story?" Rei asked. "More then I like you…yes," Usagi teased. Rei looked hurt. "So what you're trying to say is that I'm a bad girlfriend?" she asked. "Bad girlfriend, good kisser," Usagi joked. "Oh really now? Why don't we test out that theory?" Rei smirked devilishly as she leaned toward her lover. She kissed her lovingly.

Makoto laughed silently. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Seeing anything like this with Rei being involved was just hilarious!

Rei traveled down Usagi's neck. She moaned softly. Makoto couldn't help it and let out a weird sound that was supposed to be laughter. Usagi looked at the door, which was opened a crack. "Mako-chan?" Rei looked to the door with rage.

Makoto backed away from the door. Then she ran from her spot and ran to the steps of the jinja. "KINO MAKOTO!" Rei screamed, running after Makoto in rage. "Shitshitshitshitshit," Makoto muttered over and over again. "KINO MAKOTO, GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!" Rei screamed. Makoto ran by the park again and thought she heard her name being called again. But then again, Rei was screaming her name. She got to her house and banged on the door.

"Someone let me in!" she screamed as she found out the door was locked. No one answered the door and Rei was right behind her. She went to the tree that was next to the house and climbed it.

She noticed Keiko and Mine were eating breakfast together. She got their attention. They opened the window. "Mom, what are you doing?" Mine asked. "Move," Makoto ordered as she went through the window. She closed it so Rei couldn't gain entrance. She grinned to herself and went downstairs. Minako came down the stairs and looked at her strangely.

"Love, why were you screaming?" she asked. Makoto grinned. "No reason," she replied. Then there was a knock on the door. Makoto grew pale. Minako was about to answer the door when Makoto stopped her. "Minako, I love you. I love you very, very much. If you love me very, very much and want to see me live to see tomorrow, you will not answer the door, okay?" she asked. "Makoto, what you babbling on about?" Minako asked. "If you're gonna answer the door, say I'm in the backyard. And don't say I told you this."

Minako looked at Makoto strangely as she went up the stairs to hide. Then she answered the door. She saw a very pissed Rei. "Where is she?" she asked through gritted teeth. Minako was scared of Rei already. And she knew she didn't tell Rei where Makoto was, she would experience the same fate. She pointed up the stairs.

Rei walked up the stairs and entered Minako and Makoto's room to fin Makoto. "C'mon, Rei…it wasn't that funny, honest…heck it wasn't funny at all," Makoto chuckled nervously. "You're right, it wasn't funny at all. So why were there and why were you laughing?" Rei asked. "I was just jogging, minding my own business when I decided to visit you and Usagi.

"No one was there when I got to the top. So I decided to check your room. I opened it a tiny bit and find you reading to Usagi so I decided to stick around for a bit…and why I was laughing?" Makoto put her index finger to her chin in thought. "I, uh…acted on impulse?" Then she was slapped. "Don't ever pull that kind of stunt ever again, do I make myself clear?" Rei asked.

"Hai, mother…"

"What? I didn't catch that."

Makoto gulped. "Hai, Rei. It will never happen again. Honest."

"Good."

With that Rei left. Mine and Keiko looked at Makoto. "She got you good," Keiko muttered. "I wanna be like Rei when I grow up," Mine said. Then Minako came up the stairs. "What did she do?" Minako asked. "She slapped me."

"What did you do?"

Makoto was about to answer when communicators went off. "How come we don't have communicators?" Keiko asked. Makoto only rolled her eyes and answered her communicator. She didn't expect to see his face. "Hello, Mako, I have your little friend with me. Say hello, Usako," Mamoru commanded. "Don't call me that, you bastard," Usagi swore.

"There's no need for those kinds of words, Usako. Anyway, if you want this lovely blonde back, come to the park and fight me. See ya then."

After that, everyone in the house ran outside. They caught a glimpse of Rei as they got the park. They forcefully turned her body in the direction of the park and her in.

"What was that for?" she exclaimed. "Mamoru has Usagi," Minako explained as they looked for the two. Rei started running immediately.

Then finally, they found the Mamoru and Usagi.
