I
would wait an eternity for you my love,
Whenever
you are away you take my heart with you,
I
am always left behind, never able to go with you when you leave.
Always
left to wait as each passing second becomes lost in the sea of time,
Each
moment that passes I feel another part of my heart break away,
Yet
I am still here waiting, my whole being crumpling just so I can see you once
more.
Please
come back soon my love, for I am still here waiting for you,
To
have you in my arms again and for you to give me back my heart, which you took
so long ago.

A
female figure stood on her balcony as she overlooked the city of Tokyo as the
sun was slowly rising. The shadows of
the night were slowly crawling back to the darkness as the light threatened to
consume them. Her clear green eyes
glimmered at the sight, a grateful smile upon her face as she gazed at the
rising. Her hair floated lightly around
her, glimmering brightly from the eternal light in the sky. Heavenly rays brightened the sky and
enveloped the darkness of the night without a trace. The woman sighed as she leaned into the railing, trying to feel
the warmth of the sun itself if just for a moment. Her figure held a look of obedience, one of strength that could
take on any challenge. Her eyes are
ones of danger, but her soul is so pure once at peace. A soft heart within covered with a hard
shell to protect it from ever being harmed.
People look at this girl with respect, from losing so much and still
being able to be so strong for everyone else.
Her conscience is loyal and she would do nothing to hurt anyone close to
her or let anything happen to him or her.
She is a wonder to behold, dark green eyes that held so many hidden
emotions and thick silky brown hair that floated around her. Her body is large, firm and well built and
ready to fight whenever it could get a chance.
Suddenly, a large yawn came from behind the door in the living room and
the girl's eyes brightened at the sound.
A loud knock suddenly sounded and her feet were already moving swiftly
to get to the door.
"Coming!"
Makoto yelled brightly as she ran to the door and swung it open. A smile immediately broke onto her face and
she ran out into the hallway as she enveloped Shuu in an embrace. She heard him chuckle and felt her heart
leap as the sound reached her ears. His
arms enveloped her and she buried her head into his chest with a sigh as she
clutched his sweater. Shuu ran his
fingers through the silky strands and buried his head into her neck as he heard
her squeal in delight. He clutched her
waist tighter and felt an aching feeling in his chest as he lifted her off the
ground and walked into her apartment.
The door was left forgotten as the two pulled away from one another and
their eyes locked. Makoto felt her throat
leap into her throat and her knees were turning to putty as he gazed at
her. Her fingers slowly traced down his
cheek to his jaw and averted her eyes to his lips. A sudden rush flew through her and she started to lean forward as
she grasped his chin lightly.
"Anxious
are we?" he teased as he looked into her eyes once more. Makoto slowly moved her lips into a pout and
Shuu felt his whole being soften at her look.
"Depends
on what you mean by anxious." She said in a playful tone as she flicked her tongue
out and graced his bottom lip. She
slowly released herself from his grip, but soon regretted as she felt a sense
of emptiness envelope her. Shaking her
head at her weakness, she slowly strode into the kitchen, leaving a very
confused Shuu in the middle of the living room. He frowned slightly as he watched her disappear, wanting her back
in his arms again just like she had been.
Had
he done something wrong? All these
thoughts coursed through his mind as he suddenly began to panic, but soon smelt
something heavenly coming from the kitchen.
He stomach began to give him the go sign and he chuckled to himself as
he slowly walked to the kitchen. He
walked to the door, but suddenly felt his entire being crumble as he heard the
sound of crying. He slowly walked into
the kitchen and looked down to see Makoto on the floor with a spatula in her
hand and the stove was wide open next to her.
He immediately felt his feet moving with out him and his mind was
totally blank as he made his way to her.
"Makoto?"
he asked softly as he crouched beside her.
He slowly closed the stove door and placed both hands on her knees
trying to comfort her. His heart slowed
with each broken sob and the muscles in his arms seemed to stiffen with each
shiver of her body. The insides of his
stomach slowly began to wrap together, creating an overwhelming pain deep
within him. He slowly called her name,
his voice cracking in desperation for her to answer. His mind seemed to scramble as she remained silent and he moved
quickly to embrace her. Her body molded
into his and his knees gave away as they hit the floor harshly. Her sobs slowly began to calm down and she
grasped onto him tightly as she hid her face in his chest.
"Hold
me." She silently begged him. She
sighed as his hold on her tightened and his body relaxed as he heard her
voice. Her heart tightened at the
thought of frightening him, but she couldn't keep her tears in. She felt her chin being lifted and slowly
looked into his eyes. She felt her
heart slowly mending, the love and concern shown brightly in his eyes. A small smile slowly found it way to her
lips and small tears slowly slid down her cheeks as she looked down at the
floor. She slowly felt his hand guide
her face back to his and he slowly licked the tears away from her face. Happiness flowed through her and her whole
body shivered from the contact. Her
eyes drifted shut and felt no more pain was left in her body as his forehead
touched hers.
"What's
wrong?" he asked her in a hushed voice as his breath tickled her ear. Makoto shivered again as she snuggled to him
and laid her head against his shoulder with a sigh.
"I
forgot to bake cookies."
"Huh?"
"You
know, the tradition where I bake cookies in honor of my mother, just like she
used to do when I came home from school." She said with a slight smile.
"God
I'm a dumb ass, I totally forgot about it too." He said as he leaned into her
with a sigh. He looked at her with a
bright smile and then leaned into her with half lidded eyes. Makoto's breath caught in her throat as she
gazed at him and slowly met him as their lips touched. Everything around them melted and their kiss
deepened as they became one with one anther.
Their breathing became heavy and they soon separated after what seemed
like eternity. Shuu slowly broke away
from her gaze and looked at the clock, and gave a heavy sigh of
frustration.
"Time
for work?" Makoto asked as he nodded his head.
She reached for his chin and guided it back to hers as she planted a
light kiss on his lips. She pushed away
reluctantly and slowly walked out of the kitchen, but stopped as she looked at
the spatula tightly in her grasp. She
turned slightly and threw it to an unsuspecting Shuu, who was busy staring at
her 'features'. She giggled as it came
in contact with his head and he shook his head as he came back to reality.
"What
was that for?!"
"For
being a baka." She said plainly as she flipped her hair over her shoulder and
walked out of the room.

The
small shop erupted with noise as Makoto groaned from the noise. Shuu and her had opened the small restaurant
only a few months before and it was already a big hit. A smile spread across her lips and she had
to bite her bottom one in order to keep it down. Shuu had been there for her the whole time, supporting her
throughout the whole thing and never left her side. The other Senshi had been with her as well, coming everyday to
support her and to eat the delicious food.
Shuu had been the official food taster, trying all her recipes and making
sure the cooks that were hired would be fine.
She suddenly felt reality slip away at the thought of him and began to
picture romantic things that could soon happen. Others thoughts soon came after that and she felt like she would
have a heart attack if she thought about it any longer. A hand came in front of her face and she
almost fell off her stool if strong hands hadn't been there to stop her. Her face burned as she was set up straight
and met beautiful dark eyes that could only belong to her soul mate.
"You
okay?" he asked with slight laughter in his voice. Makoto began to pout and he could only grin at the sight of
her. He winked playfully and her face
burned even brighter as she turned towards him fully. It was his turn to burn as her eyes roamed over his body, taking
in the outfit that adorned his body. He
found himself blushing as he placed his waiter tray in front of him and slowly
turned to leave.
"Wow…"
Makoto trailed off as he turned to walk out of the kitchen. The long button up dress shirt clung to his
upper half slightly, showing off his muscles.
The tight black jeans really did a number, showing off his well-sculpted
legs as he walked. Her eyes seemed to
be glued to his rear end, her cheeks burning all the while. She slowly scooted her stool along the tiled
floor, gaining a few stared as it squeaked.
She ignored them and stopped in front of the pan rack as she leaned over
to see him once more. The kitchen door
had been left open and she scanned the room until she saw Shuu at one of the
tables. Her eyes were glued to him once
more and nothing could keep her eyes off of him. The light from the window played with his hair and ignited the
dark blue strands with a glow. His dark
eyes held a look of happiness and a huge smile was set upon his face as if in
laughter.
"What
can I get for you?"
"What
the…" she trailed off as she saw a pretty blonde woman sitting at the
table. She was looking at Shuu with an
interest and Makoto felt something burn within her. She leaned over more and saw another woman to his right eyeing
his fine features through his clothing.
She gripped the sides of her stool and felt the wood slowly cracking
beneath her grip. Flames were
practically burning in her eyes and felt the heat flowing through her
veins. She gritted her teeth and
narrowed her eyes as the blonde looked over at her casually. She raised her eyes challengingly and moved
to touch Shuu's leg, but he moved away as if sensing her. Makoto gave a cheer and threw her hands up,
but suddenly fell to the floor with a fierce curse. Her face burned once more and she looked up to see everyone
staring at her in silence. She quickly
got to her feet and bowed deeply. Her
chest was tight and she slowly looked up into Shuu's eyes to see them shining
with amusement. She suddenly smiled and
forgot about everyone else as she slowly scooted back behind the wall.
%*#$*@*($
Makoto
glanced around the building as she bit her lip nervously. Her eyes roamed around the bustling people
around her and she felt fear grip her heart as she looked at the gigantic
planes outside the huge windows. She
looked ahead as she saw Shuu at the counter, slowly reaching for a ticket an
elderly woman was handing him. Makoto
shook her head, her mind silently pleading with him to leave with her from this
place. Her stomach was twisting inside,
slowly creating an eternal pain for her as the sounds of the planes tore at her
ears. Shuu slowly made his way back to
her, smiling as he raised the ticket in the air.
"I
got it!" he shouted in happiness. He
suddenly frowned as he saw the desperate look in her eyes, nearly on the verge
of tears as she looked at him. His gaze
softened and he quickened his pace as he enveloped her in a tight embrace. He held her close to him, it seemed like
eternity and he never wanted to leave this feeling. He squeezed his eye shut as a queasy feeling swept through him,
but he shook his head as if trying to erase it. He slowly set her onto the floor; not wanting to let her go, but
the intercom was loudly announcing his flight.
Dark eyes met with wild forest green ones each shinning brightly with
deep emotions that only the two lovers could understand.
"Makoto…I
promise I will come back, this trip will only be for a short while." He said as
his fingertips graced over her cheek softly.
"Shuu,
please let those other people take care of this, I…have a bad feeling. Please don't go, this is the same day that
my parents place crashed…" she trailed off as her voice cracked. Shuu embraced her once more as he felt her
pain within his own heart. He reached
behind her and slowly undid her tie, which held her hair up, and the silky
strands fell down her back like a waterfall.
He ran his hand through it and buried his head in the crook of her neck
as he heard her sigh through her sobs.
He slowly drew away and drew her face to his as his lips captures the
first silver tear that escaped her eye.
He felt his soul slowly breaking with hers, the bad feeling slowly
coursing through him like a virus. His
lips traveled down and captured hers in a soul searing kiss, reassuring as they
became one. It seemed like eternity as
he slowly drew away from her, smiling as tears began to threaten his own vision
from the pain that he had felt.
"Makoto,
I promise I will come back to you.
Please…wait for me…we will be together again. Remember to wait, I'll be back before you know it." He said as he
released her and kneeled to get his bag.
He stood slowly, a great weight seemed to be settled upon him as if
trying to get him to stay. He turned to
her once more and reached out as he traced her bottom lip with his thumb. He smiled and slowly took in her beauty,
from her flowing hair to her bright green eyes. Shaking his head he slowly turned, leaving the pain stricken
weather goddess to herself. Each step
he took closer to the door the feeling grew heavier, a feeling of danger
enveloping him. He turned once more,
waving at his soul mate and giving a weak smile as he disappeared from
view. Makoto managed to smile back,
never knowing it would be the last she would see…
%_*$)#*@
Makoto
smiled as her friends sat around her as their laughter filled the empty
apartment. Each of them sat around her,
each reassuring her that all would go well with Shuu. They soon relaxed and sat around the t.v., slowly flipping
through channels to see if there was anything worth watching. Ami sat in an armchair, slowly skimming
through a book, but keeping a wearing eye on the screen. Rei and Makoto adorned the big couch as they
slouched back to back, their feet hanging over the edge. Minako and Usagi were looking through an
album on the floor, giggling and whispering at the pictures of their friends
and their soul mates in various pictures.
Makoto looked at the screen with half lidded eyes, slowly pressing the
buttons on the remote control.
Suddenly, her finger stopped and her heart stopped in her chest as she
looked at the news report. She stared
at the screen in shock, her heart slowly tearing within her.
"Flight
305 heading for New York crashed over the Pacific at exactly 2:05 p.m. this
afternoon. No survivors have been
discovered so far…"
"No."
Makoto whispered in a desperate voice as she pleaded with the television. Tears racked her body and everything around
her died as she looked at the picture of the mangled body of the plane in the
endless sea of blue. Tears racked her
body and her fists clenched at her sides as she shook her head furiously. Her mind went blank; nothing seemed to
matter as she stared at the screen with haunted eyes. Her legs gave way as she fell to the floor, tears leaking from
her very being, leaving her an empty shell.
Strangled sobs erupted from her tight throat, singing out an eternal
melody of sadness that escaped her broken heart. Her friends stood around, screaming to her desperately, their own
cries mixing with hers as if they felt her pain. She simply ignored them and felt rage fill within her as she
suddenly let out a fierce cry of utter madness. Her fists flew to floor as she punched furiously, ignoring the
pain within her knuckles as they met the wooden floor.
"Mako
stop!" a broken voice begged her as desperate hands griped her arms. Makoto screamed once more, thunder erupting
from outside as if feeling its masters pain.
The skies were filled with dark clouds, slowly enveloping the violet
beauty of the night sky and the eternal fireflies that glittered so
brightly. The silver glow of the moon
was enveloped, causing the world to be swallowed in darkness. Little teardrops fell from the heavens,
silently crying with the Senshi of the storms as she mourned for her soul mate,
who was lost at sea.
%(*#($*%&
Months
passed, but the broken girl never seemed to want to move from where she
was. Her eyes held a haunting look, no
more life seemed to sparkle within their once wild depths. Works spoken through her tight lips were
emotionless, not seeming to care what she was doing to those close to her. She never seemed to be complete, it was like
her soul was ripped from her and her heart seemed to be broken.
"Makoto,
come over, the girls and I are going to have a party. There will be some cute guys there…maybe you could meet
someone. Mako-chan, honey, are you
there…please answer me…Mako?" Usagi slowly hung up the phone, receiving no
answer from the other end. She sighed
as tears began to fall, but warm arms embraced her as she leaned into Ryo with
a sob.
Makoto
slowly dropped the receiver to the floor, leaving it forgotten as she slowly
walked out onto the balcony. She closed
her eyes as the tears beat upon her, seeming to cry for her after her tears had
dried up. A small smile appeared on her
face at that thought, but it quickly left as she walked over to the
railing. She sighed and leaned over the
edge to look down at the life beneath her.
"What
would it be like to fall and not be caught?
Shuu was always there to catch me, but now he is not here, he is in the
heavens where I cannot reach him. Oh
Shuu, how could you break your promise to me…you said you would be back in no
time. I am still here waiting, but you
have not come back yet. Usa, Rei, Ami,
Mina…you are all I have left…you and the other guys are the only things that
are keeping me together. Why am I here? You all have lives of your own…you no longer
need me to be there, all of you are strong.
I am weak, nothing really matters to me now…we have attained peace and
all of you are happy. Each one of you
has found a soul mate, someone to be there for you. I am only to be forgotten completely, nothing more than a memory
once you are all happily settled down.
Shuu…what should I do? I am
tired of waiting…you are gone and we are not together as you promised. You said we would be together, but you are
not here. Am I doing something
wrong? You are an angel…so maybe there
is something I need to do to be with you once more." She said as she looked up
into the darkness of the sky. She rain
beat harder against her skin as if trying to tell her something. She just smiled and set one foot upon the
rail, but something grabbed her from behind and pulled her into the room. She cried out in rage and thrashed against
the intruder, suddenly breaking out of his embrace. She turned to the man with her eyes burning, but suddenly fell to
the floor as the figure stepped into the light.
"Shuu…"
she whispered as she stared at him in shock.
She shook her head several times as new tears seemed to fill her eyes,
once believed to be nothing left. A
thumping sound reached her ears and she began to feel her heart, seeming to be
mending itself back together at the sight of him. His figure was drenched and he was looking at her desperately to
do something. His eyes were clouded
with tears, slowly working themselves down his heartbroken features. Her soul seemed to becoming one with
herself, finally filling her empty shell once more. Emotion shinned in her eyes and her legs seemed to be working on
their own as they ran to him. He raised
his arms to her and embraced her tightly to him to make sure it wasn't a
dream. Makoto crushed him to her,
making sure that he was with her and she wasn't imagining things.
"You
waited for me" he whispered happily into her ear. Makoto let out a sob and nodded her head as she nuzzled his neck.
"How
could I not?" she asked in a quivering voice.
They slowly pulled apart and their eyes locked with one another, each
tear filled with unspoken emotion. They
slowly leaned forward, awaiting this moment for so long as their lips met
deeply. They became one, after so long
of being apart, they finally found peace.
They pulled apart after what seemed like forever and slowly lowered to
the couch, snuggling close as they held one another.
That
night, the Warrior of Justice and the Solider of Strength held one another,
knowing that they would wait for each other for eternity and beyond.
The End
Hope you all like! I loved writing this, it was fun! The torture of poor Mako was hard for me,
but she is happy now! Hope to hear what
you all think, Ja!
