Chapter 4: Memories and threats
A man with long hair and blue eyes that seemed to glow dimly in the
darkness,
appeared in a dark ally. When he turned to face the streets three figures
appeared behind him.
“My lord,� One of them said acknowledging the man in front of them.
The man smiled, showing his white teeth as he watched a group of people
getting out of a car. “You three know what to do.�
He spoke.
“Yes.� Another man spoke.
“Good, now go and get the one that's been a pain to my
lord's family.
Remember we don't like failures.� The man spoke as he
frowned.
“It is already done.� The last one said as they bowed and vanished.
The man looked at a tall brunette with a frown. “I don't
believe that killed
Alex.� He whispered. “Well, anyway she will
pay for everything to bad the
others aren't here to join her.� He grinned before he
turned to leave and
vanished.

Mako shivered as a breeze hit her. She was still covered in a bed sheet
and
one of Duo's long coats. The guys have decided to go to the girls to
tell
them what happened and to see if they had any clothes for Mako to wear.
The
hoped so because the stares they had received when they got out of
the car
from pedestrians were ones for sick people. What else were they supposed
to
think when they saw a young girl covered in a cloth and jacket with
five guys
at night?
Mako sneezed. The air was getting to her. She felt an arm around her
and
looked up to see Trowa. “Are you okay?� He
asked as they stepped in the
apartment building. Blushing, she nodded and looked away as she said.
“I'm
fine Trowa.�
They got in one of the elevator and pressed the fifth button. When the
doors
opened they walked out and towards the door that led to the girls apartment.
Quatre rang the doorbell and waited a while before they heard someone
fidgeting with the lock while mumbling. “What do you want?
It's two in
the…Heero! Guys!� Rei said as she
blushed. She was wearing a long satin gown
that hugged her body perfectly and had two slits on her sides that
reached to
her thighs. Her hair that was always kept in a high ponytail, was now
braided
like Duo's. The guys looked at her with eyebrows up as they looked
her while
she blushed even more. “What do you guys want?�
She spoke in a low voice
that was a bit threatening.
“Rei.� Heero said as he looked at her. He
had never seen her like this and
she looked beautiful. “We need help on something.�
He moved back and the
others did as well creating a path to Mako and Trowa.
Rei gasped when she saw the shivering lady in Trowa's protective embrace.
She
quickly pulled her in. “What happened to her?�
She asked. “GUYS!� She
yelled for the girls.
“Fast growth cells?� Duo said as he shrugged,
gaining glares from everyone
including the shivering Mako.
“You guys didn't give her any clothes to wear???�
Rei exclaimed as she took
off the jacket and looked at the girl. “You've been mistreated.
You poor
girl.� She said as she hugged her and gave death glares
to the guys who
looked at her strangely. “Come with me.�
She turned around towards her room.
“Girls!!!!� She screamed.
Mako pulled the bed sheet tighter around her as she followed Rei to
her room.
When the door closed to her room the girls’ doors opened
and each one of them
walked out in variety of sleeping wear, only half awake. “What
is it Rei?�
Yaten asked as she slumped over a counter as she yawned. Her hair was
in
slight dismay. She wore a gown that reached her thighs.
The boys looked on with amusement. They had never seen the girls this
way
before and it was pretty amusing. Each slumped anywhere tired. Seanko
leaned
on a wall half closed eyes. She was wearing a silk gown that touched
her
toes. She wiped the sleep from her eyes. Her hair was let loose.
Ayako wore shorts and a long Tee-shirt. She had fell face down on a
couch.
Wufei shook his head as he smiled at her.
Kourin was more dignified when coming out. She wore a long shirt and
she sat
on the stable trying to keep awake.
Taiki stood leaning on the counter wearing a tank-top and sweat pants.
Her
head rested on her hand as her elbow rested on the counter. Her hair
was let
loose from the hold its always in. None of the girls seem to notice
the guys
as they tried to stay awake.
The door to Rei’s room opened and she came out followed
by Makoto who now was
wearing sweats. They seemed too big for her but she had stopped shivering.
Rei saw her friends and a sweat dropped appeared on the back of her
head. She
saw the guys smiling obviously amused. She looked back at her friends
and
cleared her throat.
Ayako lifted her head up and gasped when she saw the guys looking at
them and
Wufei looking at her with delight and she quickly sat up appropriately
as she
blushed. When she looked at Rei she saw a sixteen-year-old girl behind
her.
She frowned when she noticed something. The girl looked exactly like
Makoto
but all grown up. Had she gone mad? She wiped her eyes like a child
and stood
up, blinking and rubbing her eyes again. “Mako?�
She asked.
Makoto nodded.
“Oh_My_GOD!!!� She yelled. “What happened?�
Her exclamation caught the attention of the rest of the girls and they
gasped
when they looked at the girl. “Mako????�
The brunette blushed as she looked at everyone who stared at her. “Yes?�
Seanko looked at Duo. “What happened?�
He shrugged. “I don't know. Quatre put her to bed, but
when she came back out
she looked like this.�
“That's strange.� Taiki said as she looked
at the younger woman. Suddenly
she grasped the counter she was leaning on as s flash blinded her.
In that
flash she saw a woman who looked like Mako looking at her and her sisters
with a sad smile before a picture of Juno grinning at her and the others
evilly. She shook her head to clear it and when she brought it up she
looked
to see Yaten’s pale green eyes staring at her with concern.
Taiki gave her a
weak smile before she stood up straight. That was when she noticed
everyone
was looking at her with apprehension, smiling she waved their concern
away.
“It's nothing.�
Seiya nodded and looked back at the sixteen year old girl. “I
think you
should tell them what you told up, Mako.� He said
Mako nodded silently before she said, “Darkness is coming
for us. There's a
new enemy.� She paused. Something was coming now she could
feel it. “This
darkness that is approaching rapidly will devour every single one of
us in a
heart beat if we don't defeat them. The world as we know it will be
gone
forever. These enemies will be tough to beat. We need to be together
in this
one or…� She stopped when her body
shivered. She slowly looked around her as
her eyes narrowed.
“Mako?� Yaten whispered as she looked at the
younger girl with worry and
curiosity. She couldn't believe this girl…no woman
was the same girl that was
leaving with her for a year and what she said chilled her.
Mako turned around to face the window as a pen materialized in her hand.
She
knew the others were confused but it wasn't her problem at the moment,
she
ran to the window and looked outside with a glare.“ Something
is out there.�
She whispered as she pressed her hand on the glass window. Moments
later the
window started cracking and it soon shattered as a wind blew in. Mako
screamed as she was blown back. She felt the pieces of glass cut her
body as
they followed her. She landed on the floor with a thud. Her pen flew
out of
her hand and landed in front of Trowa and Duo. “Man.�
She whined in a
whisper.
Duo looked down at his feet to see the pen that had flown out of Mako’s
hold
when she fell, while Trowa and the others ran to her. He knelt down
and
frowned as the pen looked familiar to him but he couldn't place it.
When he
picked it up he gasped when an image appeared in his mind.
~Flashback~
“Hey!� Duo said
Makoto turned to look at Duo, Heero, Wufei, and Quatre who just got
here. She
smiled.
Duo stopped walking and looked at Makoto with a fake shocked expression.
“Wait!� He rushed up to her and placed his
hand on her forehead. “You
smiled! You feeling ok?�
Makoto couldn't help but laugh and she had to admit, it felt good. She
took
Duo's hand away from her head. “Yea. What, is it a crime
now?� She teased.
Duo scratched his head, grinning like a fool as always. “No.�
~End of Flashback~
Duo shook his head and looked at the girl puzzled. “What
the hell?� He
whispered. He grabbed the pen and walked over to Mako, who was being
held by
Trowa. As he saw his prince holding on to Mako he had another flashback:
Duo walked out to the garden looking for the prince. He was supposed
to meet
the guys so they could all go out but Trowa had never came. As he walked
closer he spotted Trowa and Juno on a cliff looking at the sunset.
Soon he
could hear them talking.
Silence surrounded them until Trowa decided to break it. “It
won't be so bad
Juno, I promise.�
She giggled. “You're always looking out for me.�
She turned to him. “And I
know it was you who saved me from drowning nine years ago. I knew the
minute
you pulled me out but you would never admit it. Even though it's late
I thank
you Trowa.� She kissed him on the cheek before running
inside the palace.
Trowa touched his cheek where she had kissed him as he looked at her
disappearing form.
Duo watched as Juno ran inside the palace and when he turned back to
Trowa he
saw him turned to him, grinning at him Duo turned to walk away.
~End of Flashback~
Duo looked at the girl again but this time it was with a half smile.
He ran
to her side and looked down at her. “Mako-chan.�
He whispered.
Makoto looked at him. She watched as he brought his hand to her and
she saw
her pen. She took it from him and thanked him.
“Sorry, but you won't be needing that!� A
voice boomed, and in a blink of an
eye the pen was gone from Makoto’s hand. She gasped in
surprise and looked up
along with the others.
