AN: Hopefully this will be longer than the last chapter!
Chapter 10
Makoto was placed in Rei's room then, they all sat down outside. The Ronins went back to their normal clothes. Minako grinned.
"Are you going to take a seat or would you like us ladies to pull some out for you and sit you around a table?" He smile was playful. Usagi and Rei started laughing.
"Is there a food place around here? I'm starved!"
"Kento, you're always hungry," said Sage.
"Hey. I've been working you know! I have a reason."
"Sure you do," said Sai.
"Usa, have you thought about what you're going to tell her?" asked Setsuna.
"But Suna! I don't want to tell her. Can't you?" she asked. Tears almost coming to her eyes once again at the past thoughts.
"No Usa. You have to do it yourself." Setsuna then disappeared threw a portal.
"I'll do Usa. Even though it'll ruin the moment," said Minako.
"Just as long as I don't have to do it."
"Do what?" asked Rowen. They all looked up at him in surprise.
"Nothing."
"Mamoru was killed," said Haruka, not wanting to hide anything from them since he knew so much about them. Before anyone could say anything, Chibi-usa ran out.
"Makoto's waking up!" Hotaru was right behind her. The senshi went into the temple only to find her not there. Kento looked up to see Makoto running toward them.
"Makoto?" She ran right past them. They only heard. 'Back---Minute.' Ryo went after her as she bolted down the stairs to the temple and turned left. She started running toward somewhere. Her heart was leading her there some how. To the place she most felt comfortable at. Her part of the park. She jumped over the benches, and anything that got in her way until she stopped at the lake of hers. She smiled at herself as she looked at the trees that were harmed by the fighting of Sailor Senshi but, seemed to be healed in those years. She turned once she heard footsteps behind her. He could see the smile and excitement in her eyes.
"I'm home Ryo. In Tokyo." She walked up to him, grabbed his hands and started leading him to where she stopped.
"I'm so glad to see you smile and be happy," said Ryo letting his hand touch her cheek. She just threw herself (practically) into his arms. Holding onto him like she never wanted to let go.
"I'm glad that you're here to share it with me," she whispered into his ear while he held onto her.
"Don't you want to see your friends?" asked Ryo.
"My friends?"
"Usagi, Minako, Rei, Ami, and the rest?" She looked up at him.
"Actually, I would for a matter of fact but, after I show you around," she smiled.
"You should talk to them Makoto. They've been worried sick about you and were right in there for you once you woke up."
"If they cared so much about me, don't you think that they would have explained why they placed me into your demension and try to make it look like Tokyo? I don't think so. I could tell that they placed me into your demension but, I wasn't sure if they really did die. That's the only problem. If you want meto go talk to them, then I'll go talk to them." He pulled her chin up to have her look at him but, her eyes refused to meet his.
"Makoto, you know that they did this for the best and I think that you of all people would understand that. They were worried this whole entire time for you but and that's why they sent the Starlights out to look after you. If they hadn't have sent you, we wouldn't be together now, would be? Still about in our own little demensions. Trying to find someone that just seemed to click. It was actually a good thing." He brushed the hair out of her face and placed it behind her ear. Her hand touched his as she looked up at him and smiled.
"You're right."
"Lets go back to the temple to see them, alright?" She nodded while he placed his arm around her. Just as they were about to exit the park, Minako ran up panting.
"Why...did...you...run...away...like...that?"
"Is everyone out looking?" asked Makoto. Minako nodded while she caught her breath for a while.
"Yeah. But I could get them back to the temple quickly," said Minako.
"Did the guys go?" asked Ryo.
"Yeah. Sage should be around here somewhere but, I think I lost him," sighed Minako.
"Actually, you didn't," said Sage casually walking over to them.
"Oh, hi."
"I see you two are getting along well," said Sage.
"What do you mean?" asked Minako raising an eye brow.
"I see you two are getting along well yourselves," said Makoto winking to Ryo.
"Oh! I remember," said Minako looking at Makoto with a wink.
"You've got me there," said Sage.
"Makoto, why don't we go back and see your apartment. I think you'll like the surprise awaiting you," said Minako.
"Okay," said Makoto and then was suddenly pulled await into running by Minako.
"We have a half an hour to get there, check it out, and get back to the temple. That's when we were going to meet back," said Minako. They quickly ran down the streets, and then up three flights of stairs. Minako grabbed the key from under the door mat and quickly swung open the door. She pulled everyone in and shut the door.
"I said, let there be light!" The lights suddenly went on.
"Minako, where's my stuff?" Her eyes widened all of a sudden. She just lead her into the living room where a small box was. She picked it up and handed it to her.
"Well, since Setsuna slipped about the future to us, we sorta got you something early," smiled Minako.
"Ah ha! I was right. I knew she'd slip one of these days!"
"Open it already!" Makoto got a huge grin and shook her head no.
"Not until you tell me what Setsuna said," smiled Makoto. Minako folded her arms across her chest.
"Nope. No way am I going to EVER tell you!"
"Please."
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"Pretty please with a cherry on the top."
"On a whole bunch of brownies with chocolate icecream and fudge and whipped cream?"
"And more than one cherries on the top.
"Ummmmm, no."
"Minako!"
"Makoto! I said no! Now open the box! I want to see your face."
"Tell me and then you can see my reaction!"

ONE WEEK LATER

They were over at Rei's temple. Minako and Makoto were still at it while the guys were all talking over in there little area.
"Should I?"
"It would be for the best and it would stop them from fighting!"
"You guys will right?"
"Of course. Now get your butt out there and grab her while you can." Haruka looked up at them.
"They'll all wait for you forever and you know that."
"Well, get it over with Ryo. We don't want to wait forever you know." He nodded and started to walk over to Makoto.
"Fine! I'll tell you Makoto!"
"Yes! I win! You lose! Ah ha! You looooooooooooooose! I wiiiiiiiiiiiin!"
"Makoto!"
"Alright! I'll shut-up already!"
"Open the box and you'll find out what Setsuna was talking about," smiled Minako.
"Minako!"
"Yes! I got you! Ah ha! *I* win! You loooooooooooooooooooose! *I* wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!!!!!"
"Mako-chan! Minako-chan! Come and join us for some tea inside," said Usagi.
"Okay!" said Minako. Roy grabbed Makoto's hand gently. She turned to smile at him.
"Buisness hours are from 3pm to 3pm."
"Could we talk privatly?" asked Ryo with a smile.
"Okay." She followed Ryo while Minako quickly ran inside.
"You guys! Quickly! Over to the side!" They went over to side to listen, except for Hotaru and Michiru. Ryo smiled at her while her forhead rested against his.
"You wanted to see me?" She slowly saw him disappear and looked down to see him on one knee with a velvet box in hand.
"Makoto, will you marry me?" She didn't ever look at the ring that had just been slid onto her finger. He stood up.
"Yes." She threw her arms around him. Minako's head popped out as she smiled.
