Chapter 5
Makoto followed him out of the main ball room area into his office. He pulled something off the shelf and turned to her. He opened it to have it be a golden braclet with her name written on it.
"Take this and the deal is done," he smiled. She hesitated.
"How do I---"
"Know it's a trap? It's not. You can trust your own brother, can't you?" he asked as he slowly took her wrist and placed the braclet around it. She sighed and looked up at him.
"Why must you finish my sentences for me?" she asked.
"So I can answer your question quicker," he smiled.
"I have to get back. Rei will be worried." She started for the door with him.

"Where's Makoto-chan?" asked Rei coming to the table.
"She exited with a gentlemen just a moment ago," said Quatre.
"You let her leave with Alex Kino?!" she was glaring at them all.
"That was Alex Kino?" asked Duo. Makoto just then walked up.
"What's all the commotion about?" she asked. She flipped around to her and glared.
"You talk to him, didn't you? Didn't you?"
"Of course I did. Am I not aloud to talk to my own brother?" she questioned. Duo's eye nearly popped out of his head.
"He's your brother? Wow babe---"
"Makoto. Who are you with. Us or him?" Makoto sighed and looked at everyone.
"I'm with neither of you. I won't take sides." She turned at walked away. Heero watched her going for the door and got out of his chair.
"Where you going Heero?" asked Trowa. He just ignored him and walked away. Rei slide into her chair with a shocked face.
"I can't believe she left us," she stated in shock. Quatre took a seat next to her.
"Rei, you made her choose between us and her brother. She took neither of us. Shouldn't you be happy that she didn't take her brother?" he asked.
"No. Because she decided not to take us either." Duo lounged back.
"Well, Heero will get this squared away. I know he will or else he wouldn't have left after her you know. Haven't you seen them? They're like this," he crossed his middle finger with his index to show. "Where ever one goes, the other follows. Wait. Heero might leave us to join her!" Duo quickly jumped out of his chair and ran toward the door. Rei gasped.
"It's all my fault!" Wufei placed an arm around her.
"No it isn't. I had a feeling something like this would happen sooner or later. Don't worry. There has to be someone that will help you get threw this, right?" he asked. She looked up.
"You're right. I have to talk to Setsuna." She quickly went for the door with Wufei following her.
"I believe that we're finished here," said Trowa getting up and leaving with Quatre.

Makoto started looking in the directory to see where she was once again. She picked up the pay phone and dialed for a taxi. she heard it ring and then, the phone was pulled out of her hand and hung up. She turned to look at Heero.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"You're not leaving." She folded her arms over her chest.
"Oh? And who said so? Rei?" His hand was on her elbow.
"No. Me."
'What am I doing? Why can't I just let her leave and walk out of my life forever? She's always in my way and getting in so much trouble. Why can't I let her go?' he thought.

Alex walked over to Trieze and smiled.
"I have my sister. All I have to do is have her trust me further then, I will be able to get the power to rule the universe," he smiled.
"Did you finish plan b?" he asked.
"I will complete it right now," he smirked. He pulled out a controller and turned the green button on.

Makoto touched her wrist which held the bracelet on it. She could feel it right up to her skin.
"I'm going and there is not point in arguing Heero." He looked at her differently.
'She said my name too plainly. There has to be something wrong or, she has always wanted to leave us.'
"Makoto..." Her free hand touched her head.
'What did I just say? I want to stay with Heero and I'm glad he wants me to stay. But, why am I acting like I want to leave him when my heart is saying no?' she asked herself. She still felt his hand on her elbow. His hand touched her other hand and then touched the bracelt where he brought it down for him to see.
"Where did you get this?" he asked.
"Alex." Duo ran up to the both of them out of breath.
"There you are. I've been looking all over for you. Come on Heero. We're leaving and you're coming with us," he said. Heero looked at him with a glare.
"I'm taking Makoto home."
"Just make sure that you come back, alright?" asked Duo. He nodded and placed his arm around her while they walked.

Rei quickly typed on her computer with her transformation stick attached to it. A portal opened which caused Pluto to appear and then it closed. Pluto looked up at her.
"Rei. What is the meaning of this?" she asked.
"There is something wrong with Makoto. She was talking to Alex, and then I made her choose between the both of us and she chose neither. Does that me that she'll become our enemy or what?" Pluto moved her hand to show an image. It was a gold bracelet with Makoto's name on it.
"If Makoto has this on her wrist, there is no way that we'll ever get her back."
"Pluto, are you meaning what I think you're meaning?" she asked. She nodded.
"You will have to destory her. But, don't fear. She will be born again unless she isn't fully possed. It depends on what deal she made with Alex to get it. Make sure to watch for her, Rei. I want you to be with her as much as possible. I'm not sure but, perhaps, he will try something different with that bracelet. Who knows. You know what to do from here." She then, disappeared.
"Destroy Makoto?" Rei sat down slowly.
"We have to do what we have to do," said Trowa.
"You don't get it! She's part of me! I just can't let her die like this. She'll die for the wrong cause. I want her to die with honor!" Duo turned to see the glare on Heero's face.
"Um, lets not talk about knocking Makoto off. Lets, umm, well, er, think of how to get her back. You know. A plan," said Duo. Rei nodded.
AN: Well, this is all that I could think of. Enjoy!~~~A Soldiers Hope
