Chapter 2: Another battle for Jupiter
Rei?"Makota calls to a closed door,"Come on, you can't let this bother you. We're going to be
going back."
"Leave me alone!"Rei shouts through the door.
"You think you're the only one who tihs is affect?"Makota shouts back,"Well you know something you're
wrong! We need to stick together and you're moopy mode is being to affect me!"
"Mako-chan,"Mina states from behind, the burnette turns around,"leave her be."
"Oh so now I'm the bad guy!"Mako-chan states angrily,"I'm going for a walk."she slams the door and
walks out of the apartment.*We all miss her. But there's nothing we can do about it. We have to
figure out where we are and how can we get back. Sailor Teleport isn't going to work.*Makota's
thoughts race as the block of cement pass under her feet. Her gaze is down*I am Sailor Jupiter,
I'm suppose to protect her. I can't even do that. I'm a failure as a Sailor Scout and a friend.*
Suddenly Makota bumps into someone and says,"Gomen."she looks up and see Duo was the person she
had bumped into.
"Hey Mako-chan,"Duo smiles, she smiles but it fades,"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing of your concern,"she replies being to walk away.
"You sure you don't want to talk about it?"Duo asks, Makota shakes her head,"Hey I was about to get
some ice cream how about I treat yah, you look like you could use a pick me up."
"Sure,"Makota states smiling and they walk over to the ice cream palor. She ordered a chocolate
cone and Duo ordered a banna split.
"So what's up?"Duo asks digging into his food.
"Nothing much,"Makota states,"Except this place is new and we're trying to adjust. But I guess you
went through the change too."
"Actually I don't have much time for adjusting,"Duo states,"We're always moving around."
"You live with your parents?"she asks.
"Nah, I'm an orphan so are the rest of the guys,"Duo states.
"I see,"she states her eyes focus on her ice cream,"funny I haven't had ice cream for a really
long time."she smiles to herself.
"You can tell me what's bothering you,"Duo states trying to be kind. Makota doesn't answer but
looks at Duo with watery eyes and shakes her head no.
Suddenly there's a scream from the road, both instantly stand up to see a large catlike
creature wearing a short skirt and shotting out into the crowd. Instantly the people fall to
the ground unconcious."Move Duo!"Makota shouts pushing the braided boy into the palor, just then
Mako-chan is hit from behind by a black beam but doesn't fall."Now you're going to pay."
"Mako-chan!"Duo states pulling out a gun and fires at the creature, hitting it but instantly it's wounds
heal,"What is that thing?"
"Run Duo!"Makota states running away,"This is my job!"
"What do you mean?"Duo asks,"I'm a Gundum piolet I protect the innocent!"
"You don't know what you're going against,"Makota states softly disappearing into the alley.
Duo stares in horror shouting,"Mako-chan! What are you talking about?!Where are you!?!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power Make-Up!"In a burst of electricty she transforms into a sailor uniform
with green and pink ribbons,"Hey cat butt!"The creature looks at the girl with discust
,"Supreme Thunder Crash!"the attack hits the creature slamming it into the wall. Jupiter takes
after the creature, throwing punches in it's stomach,"This is for Usagi!"the creature moans in
pain,"and this one is for me!"she slugs the creature in the face then shouts,"Jupiter Oak
Evolution!"the creature screams in pain as it turns to dust. Sailor Jupiter looks at the pile of
dust and sighs heavily.
"Who are you!?"Duo shouts coming around the corner,"What have you done to Mako-chan?"
"You're friend is fine,"Sailor Jupiter states not turning around and starting to walk off.
"Who are you?!"Duo grabbing her arm but she tugs back,"TELL ME!"
"My name is Sailor Jupiter,"the girl states then glancing back noticing several people staring.
Duo looks back to see what she's looking at but he turns around and she's gone.
"Duo!"a voice shouts, the boy sees Mako-chan running up to him,"Duo! Are you yatta?"
"Yeah I'm fine,"Duo states,"Where did you go? I was worried."
"I hid,"she lies,"the thing nearly got me but a Sailor Senshi saved me and told me to stay put."
"A Sailor Senshi?"Duo asks curiously,"Was her name Sailor Jupiter?"
"I think so,"Makota states,"come on let's get out of here."
"I think I need to go home,"Duo states.
"Why is your mommy calling you?"Makota asks with her hands on her hips, a small smile comes to her
face.
"Hey you made a joke!"Duo states in shock.
"Huh?"Makota asks wondering.
"Nevermind, I'll walk you home,"Duo states smiling.
"Sure,"Makota states smiling then takes his hand and they walk home.
***(Makota's POV)
"So where do you live?" Duo asks me.
"Several blocks down,"I reply smiling and glancing over at him. He's facing straight ahead.*God
he has the prefect profile. He's so cute. Hm...wonder what his eyes look like and that braid man
how did he keep it?*
"Hello? Anyone home?"he waves his hands in front of me.
"Oh I'm home just thinking,"I say with a sweatdrop. *His eyes are so violet and cheerful but there's
something more within them. What did he call himself when I was running away?*"What did you shout
when I was running away, you remeber the fight?" His face goes blank*Oops did I do something I
shouldn't have?*
***(Duo's POV)
"So where do you live?"I ask her.
"Several blocks down,"she answers, a small smile appearing on her face.*Hope no one tragets us.
Then we're in deep but it's been peaceful so far correction was. What is it about that Sailor
Jupiter? Other than the hot fuka and her fighting tenchiques, she nothing. It's getting too quiet
.* "So Makota what do you know about this Sailor Jupiter?"
She doesn't answer,"Hello? Anyone home?"I wave him hands in front of her.
She looks dazed out but blinks and smiles nervously saying,"I'm home just thinking." *Man she
has really pretty eyes, green and deep.*
In a clam voice she asks,"What did you shout when I was running away, remeber the fight?"
*Oh shit, I slip up about the gundum piolet!*I think,*Shimtta! It's cool just play it cool.* There's
a moment of complete silence I look at her eyes about to answer but she says,"It's yatta if you
don't wanna talk about it. I understand."
"K,"I respond,"Come I bet your parents are worried."
***(3rd person)
Makota sighs then shakes her head as they take a few steps saying,"My parents have been
dead for a good amount of time. I've lived by myself but the girls are living with me now. It's
less lonely."
"Gomen nasi,"Duo replies softly.
"It's yatta,"she smiles ignoring the subject,"Turn here."
"Hai,"he states as they turn the corner,"This is the nice section of town en?"She shrugs but
smiles."Are you always this serious?"
"I'm not serious, normally,"she states,"I've just had alot on my mind."
"You can tell me,"he says in a kind voice. There's a unusually silence, suddenly Makota stops and
Duo looks back and notices tears forming in her eyes. She quickly wipes her eyes."Makota gomen nasi
You don't have to talk about it if it hurts that much."
"No you're wrong,"she states drying her eyes,"I need to talk. It started some months ago, a friend
of mine's boyfriend started disappearing after seeing us. We weren't sucipious for a long time
then a few days. The girls and I including my friend with the boyfriend were at Rei's house. Rei
wasn't around, she had to run an errand.So It was Mina-chan, Ami-chan and me. Usagi-chan came up
to the shrine and the next thing we heard was screaming outside. By the time we left,Usagi-chan
was running down the steps and we ran after her. She told us that we were traitors and..."she
stops more tears form in her eyes,"and..and.. now we're here!"
"It's ok Makota,"he says holding as she cries, wailing.
"We would never dream of hurting Usagi-chan,"Makota states pain filling her eyes her face is
buried in his black shirt muffling the words that come out of her mouth,"Noneofus.She'stheonewe
wereborntoprotectandnowwecan'tprotecther."
"Makota,"Duo prys her off and holds her the sides of her arms and looks at her. She sniffles,"Come
on it's yatta. You have to learn to deal with it and continue. Your friend will get over it and
everything will be forgiven. I know it's a churmy promise but I know everything will yatta."
She nods and trys to smile. He wipes the last tear falling her face,"Don't you feel better now
all that's over?"
"Hai,"she nods smiling then starts to laugh to herself.
When they finally reach the apartment building. Makota was smiling and laughing as
Duo told a few jokes. "So you got kicked out of school for beating someone up?"Duo states in
shock.
"Well, it's nothing I like to run around bragging,"Makota states turning a little red,"but he said
girls were only good in the kitchen and I had to show him otherwise."
"I should introduce you to Wufei, he thinks women are weak,"Duo states.
"Really,"Makota states in shock,"Hm...I think the girls and me can change his mind."
"Haha! I really want to see that,"Duo states,"Wufei getting bet by a group of girls."
"What do you think we can't do it?"Makota asks in shock.
"No, I just want to make sure that I get it on tape!"Duo states laughing, she smiles and chuckles.
"Here's my apartment,"she states stopping in front of a large building,"Argiatoo for everything
Duo-san."
"Anytime,"Duo states smiling,"If you need cheeering up come over see old Maxwell."
Makota giggles staring into his violet eyes.*Why do I feel so dizzy?*she stares at him, her
cheeks turning a slight shade of pink. Makota smiles saying,"See you in school."then pecks a kiss
on his cheek and runs into the apartment building. Duo places his hand where she had kissed him
and smiles looking up at the apartment building then walks down the street.
***
Duo walks into the apartment looking rather in a daze.
"Hi Duo,"Quatre states from the table, in front of him is a pile of papers,"What's up?"
"Nothing much,"he replies walking over to his room.
"Maxwell I'm going to kill you!"Wufei shouts angrily threating him.
Duo looks at Wufei saying,"That's nice Wufei. I'm glad you're day was nice too."
"Nani! I had a horrible day!"the chinese boy shouts then glances at the other boys. Duo quietly
opens the door to his room and enters it closing it behind him.
"I'm calling the asylum,"Trowa states picking up the phone.
"He's lost it,"Heero states flatly, the other three nod in agreement.
***
"Usagi-chan are you sure you want to do this?"Setsuna asks the blonde hair girl as they approach
a large apartment.
"Hai, I have to,"she replies and walks in, the other girls begin to follow,"alone."They stop and
nod watching her as she walks in.
"I hope Mamo-baka rots in hell for what he has done,"Amara states angrily.
"He will,"Michiru states clamly.
"Where are the other girls?"Hotaru asks innoecently.
"We'll find them,"Setsuna states, placing a hand on the young girl's shoulder,"but the princess
has to take care of this first."
