Chapter 2
~*~*~*~*~
"The waters are upsetting. I can tell something is going to happen. We are also close to the last senshi. Soon we will meet her," said a soft female voice while her blue eyes overlooked the waves of the ocean. She moved her aqua green hair behind her shoulders. She then gazed at the male figure next to her whom held an emotionless face while his dark blue eyes where casted down at the waves. The wind ruffled his short dirty blonde hair.
"The wind is restless Michiru. It holds only fear, pain, and death. This new evil is stronger than any other that we've faced before. We'd better be careful. We should arrive in about an hour to our destination. Inform the other senshi." Michiru nodded and let him. A woman stood next to him. Her dark green hair blowing in the wind behind her.
"You're right Haruka. We need to be careful. I don't know if she will remember us though. It's been four years." He turned to see her dark red eyes looking at him.
"She will remember us Setsuna. I know she will." They both turned at the sound of footsteps coming across the deck.
"I have sped up the boat. We should be there in thirty minutes," said a girl trying to make sure her short blue hair wouldn't blow in her face. Her blue eyes looked up from her small mini computer.
"Thank-you Ami. Is lunch ready?"
"Yes."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Makoto tiredly followed Seifer out to a clearing.
"Can't you taunt me another day. I'm tired," she said with a yawn to follow.
"It's not my fault you stayed up partying with all the others."
"It's my fault for not making you join and get tired just like me." He threw her a Gunblade which she caught easily with ease and then stuck in the ground. She let herself fall butt first on the ground and lay back where she closed her eyes. He walked over to the tired girl that was trying to sleep. He let the cold blade touch her neck.
"Get up."
"It's not going to work Seifer. I don't know why I let you drag me out here in the first place. Away from my warm bed. Next time, find someone else." He let his Gunblade stick up right next to hers. He let himself sit next to her and grinned at the thought. He moved over until he pinned her with her hands above her head. Her eyes popped open.
"What are you doing?" He smirked.
"Are you going to get up or do you want me to force you?"
"Depends on what type of force." He poked her ribs to have a giggled escape her. He let her arms loose.
"Are you going to get up."
"No." Both hands started tickling her while she wiggled and giggled. When he wasn't expecting it, she pushed him over where she was onto giggling. She held his hands.
"Are you going to fight me?"
"Why are you in such a fighting mood? Geez! I have other things to do rather then fight 24/7 with you. I could be busy trying to save the world and you would want me to fight you, wouldn't you?" she asked.
"Actually, I'd fight the others because I would already know what attacks you would use and when by that time."
"Finally a worthy Opponent that knows what's coming instead of fighting without a reason." He smirked while she let one of his hands go to move her hair away from her face. He poked her again to have a giggle escape where she quickly grabbed his hand.
"I like you better acting like this Seifer. Instead of an arrogant, stuck-up, prick." He leaned up on his elbows.
"Is that how you saw me?" he asked.
"I forgot perverted. So, yes. That's how everyone sees you except for Rajin and Fujin---" She stopped in mid sentence and looked up.
Something's wrong. I can feel it. Someone is here but, who? I feel like I know them.
She turned her head and made it up to her feet. Seifer stood up behind her.
"What's wrong?" he asked. He looked in her direction to see a group of people walking their way. A man was in the lead of them all. He watched as she hesitated with each step she took.
Who are they? I know that I know them some how but, how?
She looked at all of them but, mostly the man. She recognized that walk, that face that meant danger was on it's way. A smile spread over her face all of a suddenly.
"Haruka!" She ran toward the man suddenly which left Seifer in surprise.
Who is that man? How does she know him? Is he her boyfriend or something? Hold it Seifer. Are you getting jealous over a girl that you don't even know? Geez. You are pathedic.
He watched the man known as Haruka pick the girl up as she hugged him around his neck. A smile was spread over his face. Seven other women came closer to the two.
"Michiru! Ami! Rei! Setsuna! Hotaru! Usagi! Minako! You're all here!" She hugged them all, looking at each one of them and how they had changed dramastically. She stepped back to take another look at them. Haruka, Setsuna, Michiru, Ami. Minako had long blonde hair and those bright blue eyes. Hotaru still had shoulder length black hair and purple eyes. Usagi had long golden blonde hair still in those same buns and blue crystal eyes. Rei. She was still the same girl with that jet black hair and purple eyes. Of course the temper was still there.
"I want you to meet somebody---" She turned around to see him gone. Her gunblade was the only one standing there. She let out a sigh.
Why did Seifer leave? Did he think that he wasn't welcome with my friends or did I really make him think about those words I told him? Poor guy. I actually feel sorry for him. He only has two friends and everyone's scared of him. I'll fix that in good time...
"Makoto, ummmm. What was that evil laugh for?" asked Minako raising an eye brow.
"Oh, just thinking about something. Anyway, what brings you here? Not that I'm not happy to see you guys but, you should have came to visit me or at least write. Meeting in person is better though."
"I need to speak with Cid," said Setsuna.
"Sure! I'll take you to him!" They all followed Makoto into the Garden. Everyone was amazed at what they saw. The beauty all around them. Simply marvilous! She took them to the elevator where Setsuna turned.
"Makoto, you should stay down here. It's going to be a long time before we all come back out."
"You're leaving me?" she asked with wide eyes.
"We'll be back for you. Don't worry," said Haruka ruffling her hair. She crossed her arms.
"You better not leave me or else I'll hunt you down!" Minako laughed.
"Yeah. I'd love to see you try!" A girl suddenly ran up to them.
"Am I late?" she asked. Amber whirrled around at the voice to take in the tall figure with long brown hair and beautiful brown eyes.
"RAVEN!!" The girl clung herself against the taller teenager who laughed.
"Calm down Makoto. Geez! You're making a scene in front of all these cute guys!"
"You're going to stay with me, right?" asked Makoto with puppy eyes. Raven just laughed.
"Sorry Mako. I'm going up." Makoto sighed a defeat.
"I'll meet you in the lunch area though. I think Zell, Rinoa, Squall, and Selphie are going to join us. See ya later!" She then started walk away as they all crowded into the elevator and started up.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Makoto entered into the food area and spotted the person who abandoned her. She took the seat beside him.
"Why'd you leave me. I was going to introduce you," said Makoto while Seifer drank his coffee.
"Who was that guy?" asked Seifer. Makoto got a grin on her face as she scooted over beside him.
"What's wrong? Seifs getting jealous of little young me hugging onto another guy? My day just couldn't get any better well, except for the fact that Zell, Selphie, Squall, and Rinoa will join me and my friends for lunch." He started to get up but Makoto forced his heavy body down into the chair with as much strength as she could.
"Join us for lunch, please?"
"Who said you could call me Seifs?"
"Why can't I? It's better than calling you by your last name, right?" she asked. He shrugged and leaned back into his chair.
"I'll embarrass you by singing if you don't hurry up and answer me."
"Go ahead."
"You've forgotten how it started,
Close your eyes,
Think of all the bubbles of love me made!
And get down on your knees,
It's too late!
Oh don't come crawling.
And you lied by my fate,
What a big mistake,
I see you falling.
I can sting like a bee,
Careful how you treat me,
Baby I don't think I'll accept your sorry invatation,
Close the door as you leave.
You've forgotten how it started,
Close your eyes,
Think of all the bubbles of love me made!
And get down on your knees,
It's too late!
Oh don't come crawling.
And you lied by my fate,
What a big mistake,
I see you falling.
And you cry over me!
I can't wait!
I see you stallin',
And you try to reach me!
What a big mistake!
I hear you callin'.
Get down on your knees!
It's too late!
Oh don't come crawlin'!
And you lied by my fate!
What a big mistake!
I see you falling----" His hand clasped over her mouth while people where looking at the both of them. They all glared at Seifer.
"She's your girl and you don't even treat her like it?!"
"You're lucky!"
"You lied to her?"
"You idiot!"
"Why don't you just jump off a cliff!"
"Sing more!"
"Tell him Makoto!"
"Dump him!" Makoto grinned at how uncomfortable Seifer was getting.
"Are you going to join us for lunch?" she asked.
"Yes," he growled.
"I didn't hear you..."
"Yes! I'll go to lunch with you," he yelled. Everybody froze at the noise.
"That's all I needed was that simple little answer Seifer. Everybody, everything is fine now. Thanks."
"No problem."
"Makoto always gets what she wants."
"You set that up?" he asked.
"Always. When ever I sing or act crazy, everyone knows what I'm doing." She grinned and then bounce away in a happy mood out of the room.
