Messaging Pt 4

I may have pulled an all-nighter for this chapter but it was worth it! I got it on time! Also, Converting is so unbelievably close to being done, I swear! Let's not think about that and instead look at what I have accomplished...enjoy!

A/N: Thanks so much for reviewing! It helps me know I'm doing a good job ^^ If you could continue to review that would make me a happy child :D

Once all doors and windows were sealed shut, Makoto locked her bedroom door and closed the blinds by her window. A dim lamp was her only source of light, too much light would attract attention, or worse...Minako. She shuddered. A week had passed since the blonde broke into her apartment, Makoto had a feeling that what she was holding was, indeed, a hentai doujin. She did not want Minako anywhere near her while she read it. Her hands shook as she undid the plastic wrapping, after a long dramatic moment, the cover was exposed. So far so good. The cover was innocent enough. She flipped one page and her phone vibrated so suddenly on her counter she just about threw the doujin across the room. Makoto took a moment to calm her frightened heart before answering.

"Yeah?"

"Mako-chan? I apologize, did I call at the wrong time?"

Oh good lord, it's Ami. "No, no. You're fine. Uh...w-whats up?"

"I wanted to talk to you but I feel like somehow Haruka-san and Minako-chan are going to hack our call. So I decided to come by...but I see everything is locked."

"...you're outside?"

"Of your apartment door, yes. It's sudden, I know. You are home though right?"

Makoto bit her lip. Lying was something she hated to do, and something she would hate herself for doing. "Yeah. Just gimme a second." She ended the call. Not a single muscle moved, nothing. She didn't even breathe. A pin dropped somewhere, the doujin was forgotten about and she launched herself across the room to slam the door shut. She heard a yelp from the other side and openly cursed. "Of course it's Ami-chan you dumbass!" She slammed her head into the door.

"...Mako-chan?" Came the muffled voice.

She opened the door, wide enough to peek her head out. Once confirming it was the real Ami, she let her inside. "Sorry, I just didn't want to risk it. Minako-chan could be anywhere."

"I couldn't agree more, she is literally everywhere. Luckily, I haven't run into Haruka-san."

"You can only be so lucky. I can't get away from those two, Haruka-san almost followed me to my apartment. Fortunately for me, Rei-chan chased Haruka-san with a broom so that gave me time to escape." Ami bit back a smile at the thought of the miko running after Haruka with a broom. "Right! Come in."

Just as Ami walked in, Makoto made the painful realization that she had left the hentai doujin on her bed, to add to her dismay it opened up to, ironically, page 69. Makoto saw it first and dove onto her bed to get it out of sight. She toppled off the bed and slammed her head into the wall. Pain aside, she had successfully hidden the manga from Ami's view. But of course that made the bluenette incredibly suspicious and worried.

"Mako-chan, are you okay!?"

Body and soul numb, she nodded. "Never felt better." She tucked the doujin into her shirt. And faked the most believable grin in all of acting history. "I think I'm just losing my sanity and common sense...Minako-chan does that to people."

"Then she must have seriously mentally damaged you to make you throw yourself against the wall like that." Ami quickly observed Makoto's head. "Well...it doesn't seem too bad. You might just get a slight headache."

Thanks for sugarcoating it. Her head thumped violently making every single movement painful. "Yeah, this is nothing. I've been through worse." Makoto looked away from Ami's dazzling smile; since when did that happen? Her face flushed as she stood back up. "Do you...uh, want anything? I can fix up some tea."

"Sure, I'd love that."

Ami was no genius, except she was. Makoto's obvious lie was caught on immediately. Faster than humanly possible. But, if she had to lie then it must've been for a good reason, because Makoto doesn't lie. Not for some stupid reason like hiding some hentai magazine, Makoto doesn't even read hentai magazines! Whatever the reason was, it must be important. Kino Makoto is the most honest person, she hated lying more than she hates flying, and that's saying something. Ami huffed loudly, trying to clear her overworked brain.

"So, what did you wanna talk about?" Makoto called out. Ami jumped only a quarter of an inch from the sudden voice behind her.

"Well...I wanted to clear up any lies Minako-chan said..." Ami started. She turned to make eye contact, though her sentence would never be finished. For her eyes met not the eyes of the amazon, but the glorious body that laid beneath clothing. Makoto had innocently reached up to grab something from the high shelf, her shirt had raised 3 inches-maybe 4-but it was enough for Ami's breath to catch. Her sapphire orbs traveled up the exposed flesh, she felt a cough forming and she looked away. Her face quickly became a deep kool-aid man red. A sudden urge of saying 'oh yeah' washed over her. Makoto's response, however, kept her mouth shut.

"Don't tell me that everything was a lie."

"N-not all of it." She admitted shifting her gaze down to her hands. "What was said in the chatroom is all true...I just don't know what Minako-chan's been telling you." Makoto nodded along helping restore Ami's courage. "Did she say anything?"

"A lot." Makoto set two teacups down on the table. "None of it really had to do with you, though. It was more of her plans of making me convert...but Rei-chan-"

"Rei-chan!?" Betrayal boiled deep within the ice senshi. Also slight embarrassment because she just shot out of her seat and spilled her tea. "W...what did she say…?"

Having not recovered from Ami's reaction or her teacup getting lodged in the air, Makoto took a moment to respond. "Uh…" Was all she could force out. Maybe mentioning Rei was a very, very, VERY bad idea. The brunette shuffled in her seat trying to rack up some excuse. "She wanted me to come over to talk?"

Ami noticed how very uncomfortable Makoto became and sat back down. "I'm sorry about that...so you went to the shrine?"

"Yeah." The temperature in the room lowered and so did Makoto's confidence. She knew Ami was trying to calm down but it was not working at all. The calmer Ami tried to be the more Makoto began to fear her. Just how was she supposed to respond?

"And what did you talk about there?"

"We didn't get to talk because Haruka-san appeared." Good cover up, she has to believe that. "Why are you asking?"

The question threw off Ami. "I've...I've been telling Rei-chan everything. Like my feelings and...stuff like that."

Why does she have to be so honest!? "Oh. She didn't talk about your feelings if that's what you're worried about." She smiled trying to hide the fear she still had. It somehow managed to make Ami blush and break eye contact. Seeing Ami blush also somehow managed to make Makoto blush as well. Their blush fest was interrupted when Ami's phone started to ring. They looked at eachother for a moment before Ami answered the call.

"Hello?" She asked.

"STEP TWO IN PROCESS! COME ON AMI-CHAN! WE GOTTA PLAN TO MAKE MAKOTO WANT YOU AND ONLY YOU!"

"BY THE TIME WE'RE DONE HERE SHE'LL NEVER WANT YOU TO LEAVE THE BEDROOM!" Came the response of both Haruka and Minako. Haruka continued when Ami didn't answer. "Have no fear, we have thoroughly thought this through. We're at my house, stop whatever you're doing and get over here." With that the call ended, leaving behind a very confused Ami.

"Minako-chan I assume?"

"Yes." She stood up. "I'm sorry for suddenly intruding. I...have to go lock myself in a room now, have a good evening." She bowed and quickly excused herself before Makoto questioned anything. Once she reached the bottom stair she turned left towards the home of the outers.
