Now and forever…
'Those eyes… what are
they trying to tell me…' Serena thought as she searched her mind. 'And that…
feeling… what is it?' Suddenly she got up and went outside. Breathing the
morning dew refreshed her mind but that 'dream' she had still hunted her head.
'Should I tell Luna? No… I'm
the queen of the Moon kingdom, I should handle these things on my own.' She
decided as she clutched her kimono tighter around her.
"AHH!" Ami
screamed out, her blue hair covering her eyes and placed her hand on her
bandaged head.
"Ami… are you alright?'
Trowa asked as he soothed her back with caring hands. But as he got near her,
she cried out in pain. "Ami…what's wrong?"
"I-
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Suddenly she clasped her hand onto her forehead
as the black crescent moon flickered. "Trowa…" She murmured as her
eyes blacked out. At once, Trowa was by her side, but as soon as he reached out
to soothe her, she smacked his hand away. "Trowa…get away… NOW." She
commanded as the black crescent moon began to take its form. "NOW!"
Trowa looked at her with concern in his forest green eyes but remained next to
her.
Suddenly her soft blue eyes
turned dark and cold and with a cry of despair, she fell back into her bed.
Then all of the sudden, her ice-cold eyes turned back soft blue and tears
streamed from it. As the awkward moments passed between them, Trowa threw
himself at her and hugged her with all her strength… making her feel safe in
his arms. " I will never leave you… I can't. " He murmured into her
ear, as she cried harder on his shirt.
"Duo?" Rei asked
as she slid open the door of Duo's room and found his sleeping sideways. She
shook her head and settled down his tea as she helped him sleep up straight.
When she approached him, drool started to come from his soft lips. Looking for
a tissue, Rei didn't notice that Duo was awake. He smiled as he closed his eyes
once more. When she came back with the tissue, she started to wipe the drool
away. As she finished, she felt a strong pair of arms pulling her back. With a
mischievous smile, she let Duo pulled her into him. When she turned around, she
kissed his cheek then lingered towards his waiting lips. As Duo wrapped his
arms around her waist, she found herself leaving a trail of sweet kisses around
his neck. Duo pulled back a little and looked into her scarlet eyes and then
covered her mouth with his. Rei pulled his neck closer as the kiss got more
passionate. When they pulled apart, Duo didn't let go of Rei, instead, he
pulled her closer to him with her back on top of his chest. He lowered his chin
to her shoulder as they sat in peaceful silence.
Serena looked out into the
dawn as weak sunshine rays plunged into Earth. Suddenly she felt a tap on her
shoulder and turned around to look at those familiar brown eyes.
"Heero…" She
murmured and then started to cry all of the sudden. As she leaned onto his
shoulder, he flinched to the touch. In his past life, these touches were so
relaxing and comforting, but now… it feels so… wrong. Heero took her by the
shoulders and removed her from him. She widened her eyes at the sudden movement
and looked at him with questioning eyes. Suddenly Relena filled his mind and he
started to feel dizzy but didn't show it. He shot her his death glare, and
walked past the trembling Serena. All at once, loneliness filled her broken
heart as tears broke out. Crying softly, she walked toward the yard of the
temple. Bright yellow green leaves fell from their autumn trees and fell on her
golden hair. Then unable to control herself, her knees bucked and fell onto the
soft ground. The yellow- greenish leaves rained onto her as she gathered her
legs to herself and cried. 'Why must I be tortured like this?' She recalled
those icy cold eyes glaring at her as chilly feelings thrived through her
spine. When a leaf fell from the tree above, it landed on her hand. When she
took it in her palm she gazed at it mindlessly. ' So free…'
Grasping her pin, the
pointed edge of it, she cut her wrist with it, as the pain felt nothing to her.
Makoto looked at her locket
as she sat down with a cup of warm tea in her hands. 'Could it be…? No… it
can't.' She recalled her encounter with Wu Fei. When she felt unconscious, all
of the sudden, she felt a feeling of rebirth… but why? Makoto wondered
clutching onto her locket until she saw her knuckles went white. Releasing it
from her grip, she looked at it with surprise… just how one simple locket could
have this kind of power. As she left her apartment to his, she stopped at the
door. When she raised her hand to knock, the door opened and Wu Fei stood
there. "Yes?"
"Oh… um… I need to ask
you something…"
"What is it?"
"Why… did you look at
my locket?"
He raised his narrow eyes
and looked at her with no facial expression. " I simply wanted to. Is
there something wrong?"
"No… but-" She
stopped to look at his collarbone and saw a necklace something similar to hers.
When she raised her hand to get a better look at it, Wu Fei took a step back.
"What are you
doing?"
"I… " Makoto
started, but Wu Fei took her inside and sat her down at the couch.
"You meant this I
presume?" He reached down his shirt and took out the locket and showed it
to her. When Makoto took out hers, the two released each other's neck and rose
mid way to the air. As it did so, they suddenly clasped onto each other and
blast out colors of white, red, blue and orange. The lockets floated like this
for a few moments then the colors vanished and they broke apart, falling into
Makoto and Wu Fei's open hands. The two stood there in silence and both
knuckles went white as they grasped onto their lockets. Suddenly the green
lockets shot out of their hands rose into the air and it spread out bright
green light that covered Makoto and Wu Fei. Memories soon transferred from the
small lockets to their minds of wonder. ('Wu Fei' for past Wu Fei and
'Makoto' for past Makoto)
'Makoto' was running to
find Serena when suddenly she felt a fast moving movements coming near her.
Suddenly a strong grip of hands covered her mouth as she tried to scream. A
saber was near her throat as she clenched her fist and with a rapid movement of
her arms she overthrew her perpetrator, but the perpetrator got up quickly and
fought her with rapid fist fighting. Makoto, a skilled soldier, blocked
everyone and tripped the shadowed man. They stood apart from each other as the
soft breeze of the midnight flowed through her hair, but the man was still in
the shadows. Suddenly Makoto lunged towards him and kicked the saber up in the
sky. As she jumped up high, the man pulled her leg down. When she regained steadiness,
she felt the cold metal of the saber up her chin and slowly down her throat as
a deep voice growled, "What is your business here?"
'That voice…' Makoto thought
with questioning eyes. "Wu Fei?"
"Makoto-san?"
"Argh, it was you all
along?!" Makoto spat rubbing her arms when they fought. "Why did you
attack me?"
"I thought you were one
from the dark forces.' Wu Fei simply replied.
"Just be more careful
next time." She muttered and went her way. "Have you seen Serena by
the way?"
"She's probably with
Yuy." He replied stalking off to the other quarters of the palace.
"Thanks." She
muttered under her breath.
As she neared the balcony
her reliable ears heard a fast pace of rapid movement. With a quick movement
around, she saw nothing but the flowing trees that were trimmed with silver
along its leaves. 'I must be hearing things.' She thought to herself as she
went to find Serena. Suddenly it happened again, but this time it was very
clear. She turned around as she surveyed the area for possible enemies around.
Closing her eyes, the air wisped around her peace-colored face. Suddenly she
turned her face left and saw a hint of raven black hair within the trees. She
lunged towards there, leaped into the air and kicked out the mysterious person.
As the masked man stumbled out of the trees, his identity remained a secret.
"Who are you?" Makoto asked in a strong voice.
"I could be a foe or an
enemy… you decide." He murmured quietly enough so she could hear. Makoto
smiled and started to fight him, but sure enough like she predicted, he was a
skilled person in the martial arts as she was. She fought like flashing
thunder, appearing at one place and then disappeared after she launched her
attacks, but the masked person caught all of it. They stood as the wind wisped
their faces. Suddenly the mask flew away and revealed a raven black haired man
with daring red eyes and a sword suddenly formed from his wrist and raised it
towards her. "Do you prefer the hard or easy way Makoto-san?" He
smiled as the sword tipped her chin. Makoto looked at him with raging brown
eyes and did a high kick, almost knocking the sword from his hand. As the man
tried to get hold of his sword, Makoto leaped back and positioned herself in
her fighting form. The raven black haired man took a look at her and a smirk
took over his face. He ran towards her with his sword held back and then with a
swift kick in the stomach, Makoto blocked it but it sent her flying to the
stone emerald water fountain. As blackness tried to overcome her senses, she
got up weary but was determined to win. She jumped up and flung out her leg,
but the man ducked by mere mill inches and caught it. Makoto's eyes narrowed
and tried to flip her leg off his grip, but he was too strong and with his
other hand he raised his sword up high, threaten to kill her as Makoto closed
her eyes and awaited her death.
Suddenly he laughed and put
the sword away. "What are you doing? Aren't you going to kill me?"
Makoto asked with her strong voice.
"I have other plans…and
I am very surprise why you didn't kill me?" The man raised his arm to her
forehead but suddenly a leg struck the man in the face causing him to fall
back. Wu Fei appeared beside Makoto as he helped her up. "What are you
doing? He could of harm you!" Wu Fei hissed at her ear before standing in
front her with his saber ready to attack. "Identify yourself!" He
yelled out.
"Hey! I am not pathetic
you know!" Makoto said standing besides him with her fist clenched
together.
"Women are supposed to
be protected by the men!" He hissed back. "Now stand back."
"Oh I will not be
insulted like this!" Makoto yelled out and lunged towards the man with her
fist ready to knock the lights out of him. She punched him in the stomach and
leaped in the air as she flung out her leg and hit his head sideways. Wu Fei's
jaw dropped as he watched in amazement. A cry of pain shook him out of his
sorrow memories as he look what had happened. Makoto now had the saber in her
hand and threaten him as the tip of the sword tapped under his chin. But the man
just smiled and with a quick movement of his hand, the sword came right back to
his hand. Makoto looked at him with disbelief. Suddenly he leaped in the air
and was about to kick Makoto but as she closed her eyes to feel the pain, she
felt none. When she opened them, she saw Wu Fei's black hair facing her.
Realizing what just happened, the unconscious Wu Fei fell into her arms.
"NO!" She cried out as she carefully placed him on the floor and
gathered her strength. "You are going to be so sorry!"
"Nani?" The man
asked unaware of the powers Makoto possessed.
"Jupiter…. Thunder…
Dragon!" Makoto cried out as a bright green flash of a thunder dragon
shocked the man, and his flesh started to burn off. "AAAAAHHHHH!" He
cried out as the skins of his face started to come off. "I will be back… I
promise you Makoto-san." With a whirl of the freezing wind, he vanished in
the midnight.
"Wu Fei!" Makoto
cried out as she helped his head onto her lap. "What do you think you were
doing back there?"
"I… I simply had to do
my job… protect the women." He muttered as he looked at the sword that
went through his stomach. "I did what I had to do."
"You… you… stupid
idiot! I told you I could handle it!" She yelled through sobs. "Why
couldn't you mind your own business?! You nosy person, now look what you got
yourself into!"
"I didn't want the
women to get hurt… I didn't want you to get hurt." He whispered the last
sentence. "I… hope to treasure you like the person you are."
"Wu Fei… " Tears
streamed from her cheeks and onto his pale face. "How…" She choked
out the words, "How could you? You can't love me…."
"But I do- UGH!"
Blood streamed from his mouth and onto his white uniform with the color of
emerald engraved in it. "Makoto-"
"Wu Fei?" Makoto whispered as a grave feeling started to overcome
her. "WU FEI!"
As the memories of the past came to and
end, the lockets broke apart and fell onto the awaiting hands. Suddenly Wu Fei
felt a smack on his cheek as he looked at the crying Makoto who threw herself
onto him. "You… how could … you? You could have killed yourself… you mean
jackass!" She cried out as she beat his chest lightly with her fists.
Wu Fei looked at her and
slowly brought his shaking hands to her back to calm things down.
"Makoto…" He murmured in her soft brown hair as he held onto her…
never wanting to let go…ever.
"And now… from Akita
high school, Aya Tohimatchi will serve the ball." The announcer called out
from the box above the court. "Oh nice hit! The ball, served by Tohimatchi
hit Aya Mikage of the Ishikawa, who bumped it to Minako Aino, spiking it back
to Chidori Kuruma- and she misses! And the team of Ishikawa wins!" The
crowd roared for the Ishikawa players as Minako look for Quatre on the crowd,
as soon as she spotted him she gave him a confident smile but he blushed in
response.
"Very nice…" Aya muttered to her as a smile plastered on her face as
she turned to wave to the crowds.
Minako blushed lightly, and
asked, "What do you mean?"
"Oh you know what I
mean…" She made a gesture towards the blond boy smiling at Minako.
"Very cute I might add too." Aya giggled as Yuuhi grabbed her by the
waist and placed her on top of his shoulders.
"WE WON WE WON!"
Ken chanted out in happiness as he pumped his fist in the air. "Hey, we're
going to go to the Century Café to celebrate, coming?" Yohji asked Minako.
"Umm… no thanks, I got
some other things to do."
"Yea and I wonder what
Aino." Ken gave a smug smile towards Minako, but Minako smiled back and
rushed off to the benches. "Quatre!"
The blond boy looked back to
see Minako running towards him, but she suddenly tripped on an empty soda
bottle and fell onto the concrete floor. Quatre rushed to her side and looked
at the deep cut on her knee. "Minako-san! Are you alright?" His
gentle blue eyes searched her crying eyes. "Don't worry, it's going to be
fine." He comforted her.
Tears streamed from her
eyes, but quickly dried up when he said those refreshing words. Minako looked
at him and gave him a faint smile. As he helped her up, she fell again, but
this time, Quatre caught her by the arm and gazed into her lovely blue eyes.
Suddenly bright pink rushed
to his cheeks as he gently took her by the waist and led her to a near by
bench. Quatre searched his pockets and a pack of tissues. As he dab some water
from a near water fountain, onto the soft tissue, he carefully wiped the dark
red blood from the cut as Minako held her cries back. As whimpers was heard
from her mouth, Quatre tried to ease her pain as much as possible.
"Thanks." Minako
said as he did the finishing touches and tried to sniff back the tears.
"It was my pleasure… I
mean it wasn't my pleasure to see you in that much pain, but it was my pleasure
to-" Before he could finish, Minako burst into giggles.
Quatre smiled and placed his
hand behind his head. "Oh I forgot, congratulations on your wining
Makoto-san. Congratulations."
Minako smiled at him and
replied, "Thanks, hey want to go to the Century Café?
"Sure why not?"
Quatre said, but before he could take another step, he almost fell on a water
bottle but Minako grabbed him by the arm to hold him steady. Suddenly a silver
chain with the same locket as Minako dropped within his shirt.
"Your locket…"
Minako started. "You-"
"Oh yes… I'm sorry, but
I seem to have the same locket as you do." Quatre smiled and tried to hide
the locket back into his shirt, but as soon as Minako placed her hand over his,
he froze. "Minako-san… "
"Quatre… could you please let your locket hang outside of your shirt
first?"
"Umm…okay." Quatre
replied with an uneasy voice.
Minako smiled and quickly
took out hers. As Minako and Quatre observed their similarities, it was pretty
hard to see the differences. Suddenly the orange crystals on the lockets shined
with a blinding light, and then all at once, it released themselves from their
necks and rose into the mid-afternoon air.
Then the lockets whirled in
the air as it the white and red light twirled around each other and blasted
their way to one part of Japan and a semi-strong light of green shot to another
providence of Japan. Finally a faint light of blue shined its way to the east
side of the island. "Quatre…what
happened?"
"I don't know Minako-san." He murmured as he watched with amazement
as the lockets released themselves of their strong grasp and fell into the open
hands of the two. Suddenly Minako jumped as a snow- white kitty cat jumped on
her shoulder and licked her cheek. "Artemis! What are you doing
here?"
The snow cat looked around
his surroundings and opened up his mouth. "Minako, Quatre, you must follow
those lights now."
Quatre's eyes rose as
astonishment took over him. "Minako-san… you taught the cat to speak?
Impressive…"
"No Einstein, Minako
just muttered it under her mouth." Artemis replied, and then felt a
forceful pull on his tail. "Sorry about that." Minako said
sheepishly.
"Did you people just
listen to what I just said? FOLLOW THOSE LIGHTS!"
"But why?" Quatre
asked, becoming very curious of the snow cat.
"Oh yeah, your
memories." Artemis recalled. Doing a twist in the air, a full silver
moon cast over a simmering palace with each of the senshis living happily with
one another.
Forest green trees
surrounded the palace and each quarter of the palace was decorated with scarlet
red, cool blue, forest green, and sun orange. In the middle of it is made of
crystal silver gleaming in the moon's silver rays.
"Minako?" Quatre
asked for her as he approached her chamber. Minako came through the doors and
kissed Quatre on the cheeks. "Yes?"
"I just wanted to see
you." He smiled as pink blush rose to his cheeks. Minako pouted and turned
around facing her chamber. "You just wanted to see me?"
Quatre looked at her soft
blond hair and with shaking hands he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her
close to his white armor embodied with orange. "And to hold you safe in my
arms…" He murmured softly through her hair as he leaned his chin onto her
shoulder. "To stay like this forever."
Minako, touched by his
words, started to wet her eyes. She grasped onto his hands around her waist and
leaned onto his shoulder. Suddenly war cries were being heard from afar. Quatre
and Minako turned to look around and heard crashing glass and cries of pain,
and anguish. "The Queen!" Minako thought as she grabbed his arm and
ran towards the main hall, and found it being attacked by dark monsters from
their evil forces. Rei was calling orders as the senshis ran towards their
quarters to protect the palace. "Minako! Quatre- south wing NOW!"
As they sped towards the
south wing, they fought their ways through as Minako used her meteor shower and
Quatre slashed them through with his sword.
"Venus… Crescent beam…
smash!" Minako shouted as she pointed her finger at a group of oncoming
yuimous. A blinding light blasted its way through them and left nothing but
black ashes of them.
"HAI!" Quatre
yelled out as he slashed through a yuimou with his long sword, but gasped at
the dark blood gushing out of the side of the sword. The yuimou looked at him
with bloody eyes then grabbed the sword, pulled it out and threw it onto the
floor. Quatre gulped hard and tumbled across the ground and retrieved his
sword. "Hai-yah!" He thrust his sword through its stomach and twisted
its insides. As it disintegrated into ashes, he suddenly heard a cry coming
from Minako. Rushing towards her side, he found her being held by two yuimous,
as another one was about to blast its dark power right through her stomach. As
it gathered energy, he blasted its black power at Minako.
She closed her eyes and
tried to overcome her fear. Suddenly she felt nothing but the cry of pain from
a familiar voice. "Quatre!" She yelled out as tears streaked from her
eyes and onto his bloody face. She kneeled down and tried to gather in him her
arms.
The yuimous clasped their
hands together and approached them slowly. "You son of a -
VENUS… LOVE… AND… BEAUTY…
SHOCK!" Bright orange/yellow rays grew in rage behind Minako and rushed
throughout the south wing, killing every yuimou there was.
"Quatre…" She
whispered as she felt her energy drain from her. "Why?" She chocked
through sobs as she grasped him by the shoulders.
"Minako… I told you I
wanted to be like this forever… and never wanted to let go… ever in my life." Quatre
finished as his voice trailed off.
"Quatre… Quatre… how
could you leave me?" Minako whispered as her final source of energy left
her body. "Quatre… I love you. Now
and forever."
DONE!
Hope you enjoyed it! ^-^ Ya want chapter 6? Hehe
