Part 4
By: Lady Neycoma
Makoto walked through the streets; her mind was filled with accusations
that
if she had been stronger more powerful her friends would still be alive.
She
knew that Usagi would have disapproved of the way she had been living
ever
since she was brought to this world but she couldn't help it. She was
so deep
in her thoughts that she wasn't watching where she was going and bumped
into
someone. 'Damn it! This is the second time.'
"You have to find another way to flirting with Trowa Mako." A teasing
voice
was heard and Makoto immediately knew it was Duo. She straightened
up and saw
Trowa, Quatre and Duo in front of her. "I'm sorry, I---"
"Wasn't watching where you were going. We know." Duo grinned his eyes
radiated amusement.
Makoto smiled a little at him.
"So miss Makoto…"
"Makoto." She corrected.
Quatre smiled one of his winner's smiles. "Makoto, where are you going?"
"I was just walking around. Trying to clear my head." Makoto answered
as she
started walking away, but Trowa quickly stopped her by grabbing her
hand. She
turned to face him with surprise. "Don't you have to go to school or
something?"
Duo looked at him stunned at his friend that was usually so quiet. Quatre
only smiled.
"No." She took back her hand. "I want to be alone." She walked away.
"You know shutting everyone off is not the answer to your problem."
Quatre
said quickly. Hoping in changing her mind. "You need someone in your
life you
know. No one can stay alone."
Makoto stopped when she heard Quatre, but she didn't turn to face him.
'Usagi
could be saying that right now.' She thought. She closed her eyes shut
and
began running away as fast as she could. 'I'm not ready to meet other
people.
It still hurts. I don't want to lose anyone anymore. Guys! I'm sorry.'
"Oh Makoto." Quatre sighed.
"Come on Quatre let's go." Duo said as he began to walk away. Trowa
followed
second after glancing back at Makoto. Quatre followed behind. They
soon
reached out side an arcade, where they met Heero and Wufei. "Sorry
we're
late."
Heero gave them his famous glare before he started walking away. "Let's
just
go."
With that the five pilots went to school.

Doctor J looked up when he heard the door open. He saw Makoto walking
in the
lab he was in. "Aren't you suppose to be in school?" He asked.
"I don't feel like it." Was all the response he got from the tall brunette.
"You know you can't keep going like this, you---"
"I don't want to hear it. I'm going upstairs to my room." Makoto walked
slowly up the stairs. "Call me if anything happens."
Doctor J. sighed. "Mako Mako." He whispered and sighed again.
~*~
Makoto lay on her bed upstairs in her room. She sighed a sad sigh before
she
fell asleep.
DREAM:
"Mako-chan." A quiet voice called her. "Mako-chan."
Makoto looked around her. She noticed a fog surrounded her. 'I know
that
voice.' She acknowledged.
"Mako-chan." The voice called again. This time it sounded as if it was
coming
closer to her. Makoto looked straight ahead and could see a figure
walking.
With each step it took she could see it was a woman. She gasped and
tears
gathered in her eyes. "U-Usa-Usagi?" The figure stepped out of the
fog and
smiled warmly at her. "Mako-chan."
"Usagi!" Makoto ran to her friend, princess, and leader encasing her
in a
tight hug as she cried. "Usagi, I'm sooo sorry! I couldn't save you
or the
others."
"Mako." Usagi whispered as she returned the hug. "Mako-chan I want you
to
listen to me." She paused and waited for a respond from her taller
friend.
Once she did she continued. "Mako-chan, it wasn't your fault we died.
That I
died. The enemy was strong and there was nothing we could have done
about
it." She stopped. "We-I'm disappointed in you Mako-chan." She let's
go of her
friend and stood so she could look in her friends eyes. "I'm very
disappointed in you."
"W-why?" Makoto asked confused.
"We gave you our power and a new life but you're not making good use
of both
of them. We gave you a chance to forget about your past and go on with
your
new future, but you shut everyone that comes close to you. You're not
happy
anymore, not the same Mako-chan I use to know and love."
"It's hard Usagi-really hard."
"But you're not trying at all Mako." A new voice was heard. Ami came
out of
the fog and stood next to Usagi.
"Ami!"
"Why are you blocking everyone?" Another voice came and Minako and Rei
came
and stood by Usagi and Ami.
"Mako-chan, you 're going to be missing on a lot of fun if you keep
sulking!
I mean you're not chasing after boys anymore!" Minako scowled.
"Yeah, you don't want to be sad and lonely any longer do you?" Ami asked.
Makoto looked at all of them and shook her head. "No, no I don't."
"Then cheer up!" Usagi said in her normal happy voice. "I know some
one who
would love to get to know you! But if you don't get out of your gloomy
mood
you'll never know!" She grinned.
"Usagi!!!" Rei Yelled. "You aren't suppose to say a word!"
"Take a chill pill Rei!" Usagi waved her away with her hand.
Before Rei could say anything Ami intervene. "Mako, please. We want
you to
have a good life here."
"Yea, Mako-chan." The others chorus. As they began to vanish. "A good life."
Makoto's eyes slowly open to find old eyes looking at her. She gasped
in
surprise. "Doctor J. !" She exclaimed.
"Sorry to bother you Mako, but the G-boys are in trouble. They were
assigned
a mission during their lunchtime in school but things are not looking
up. Do
you mind?"
Makoto for the first time smiled a real smile. "Sure. Where are they?"
She
stood up.
"Here you go." Doctor J. handed her the information she needed and Makoto
ran
out the door. Doctor J. smiled, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Pluto's voice rang. "Keep an eye on her, I'm afraid
I--we
can no longer do that."
Author's Note: Okay some of you might be a little confused so I'll clear
it
out. Yes the senshi/scouts are dead that was just their spirit. And
yes
Pluto's dead.
Review please!!!!!
