Makoto was fully aware Kyo just wanted to be stronger. That her feelings were foolish. But...it always turned out this way.
"You're already pretty strong." Makoto complimented.
"Not strong enough." Kyo shot back. "I have to be stronger, much stronger."
"It might not be enough." Makoto said. "Wanting to get stronger out of hate..."
"Why not?!" Kyo said. "It doesn't matter why! Just teach me!"
"You need to find someone to protect," Makoto said, looking off in the distance, remember her princess as she adjusted Kyo's form. Her princess who was Sailor Cosmos now. Gone forever.
"Oi." Kyo said. "Senpai. You're spacing out."
Makoto blushed. "S-Senpai?"
"Yeah." Kyo said, flustered. "You're better than me. So Senpai."
Makoto kissed his cheek. "You go out and find that person. That's your homework!"
Kyo blushed, all wound up again. "You can't give me homework!"
Makoto left the dojo, leaving him in the dust.
"Senpai! Senpaiiiii!"
