I'm not sure what will happen in this part really ^^; I sort of know but I'm not sure. I hope this part turns out okay! Please enjoy!
Disclaimer: I FINALLY OWN SAILORMOON!!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Yaten: No you don't
Me: You spoil all my fun ;_;
"Come on Usagi! We need to go back!" Minako called over her shoulder.
"Okay!" Usagi said and hopped up. The two girls had been at a nearby stream doing their laundry. Usagi began to head towards Minako who was already heading back into the woods when Usagi stopped in her tracks. "Minako! Do you smell that?" she said. Minako stopped and sniffed the air.
"Hai!!! she said.
"FOOD!!!" they both screamed in unison. They followed the sent of the food through the forest. They didn't realize that the smell was not coming from their camp until they stumbled on a clearing in the woods. There was a tent in the middle with an open fire beside it. Over the fire there was a large kettle with soup in it. Usagi and Minako slowly approached the kettle. Usagi stuck her finger in the soup and then stuck in her mouth.
"It's good!" she said and stuck her finger in again.
"Excuse me?" a voice asked from behind them. They both jumped around and saw a tall brunette standing there with a basket full of mushrooms.
"We didn't touch your soup!!" Minako screamed defensively.
"It's all right, it's all right," the girl said and walked over to the kettle. She began to add the mushrooms to the soup. "I'm used to hungry travelers stopping by my camp."
"You're a very good cook," Usagi said.
"Domo arigato!" she said. "Are you traveling through these woods?"
"No. We thought the food was coming from our camp," Minako said.
"Ah, is your camp far?" she asked. They both nodded. "Then how 'bout you stay for dinner! I've got plenty. Oh, and by the way, my name is Mako."
"Okay! Thank you Mako!" Usagi said. They all sat down for dinner when all of a sudden an arrow whizzed by Usagi face. She screamed and got down on the ground. A guard with a bow and arrow emerged from the brush.
"I won't lose like the other idiots," he said. He prepared to shot another arrow at Usagi when Mako came up behind him and knocked him off his feet. The arrow went flying straight up in the air as he fell to the ground. She placed her foot on his stomach.
"Touch these girls and you die," she said. He smirked and grabbed her ankle. She pressed her foot down harder onto his stomach. He began to gasp for breath. Suddenly there was a whizzing sound that sounded like something was falling. Mako reached out her hand and caught whatever had been falling to the ground. Now clutched in her hand, was the arrow. It was right above his chest. "I could have let that hit you. Then my problems would be over," she said.
"Then I guess that makes you an idiot," he said. She applied more pressure to her foot. He began to gasp for air again. She lifted her foot.
"Now get out of here," she said. He picked up his bow and arrow and ran out of the camp site. Mako turned back to Usagi and Minako who were looking at her with slightly frightened expressions. "Now, do you think you girls should head back to your camp site?" she said and smiled.
"Yeah, but will you please come with us?" Usagi asked.
"Fine, fine," Mako said. They returned to Usagi's camp about an hour later. Yaten was impatiently poking the fire with a stick in an attempt to make it bigger. Seiya was standing by him yelling that he was doing it all wrong. Usagi didn't see the others so she assumed they were in the cave. Suddenly Luna jumped on Usagi's head.
"Oh hi Luna!" Usagi said. "Luna, meet Mako!" she said.
"Hi Luna!" Mako said and stroked her head. "I need to go now. See you later Usagi."
"Bye," Usagi said. Mako set off into the woods. "Where is everyone? " Usagi asked.
"Taiki and Ami are inside preparing the food and Haruka and Michiru are out looking for YOU," Luna said. "But Usagi, I think Mako might be a senshi as well."
"Luna, I'm confused!" Usagi moaned. "How can you tell if someone is a senshi just by looking at them? And what the heck am I supposed to do?"
"I don't think I should really tell you that now," Luna said. "You'll know what to do when the time comes." Usagi pouted and moaned a little but immediately perked up when she smelled the food cooking. Soon after Usagi and Minako returned and the food started cooking Haruka and Michiru came back to the camp. They began to eat their dinner just as it was getting dark. After dinner they all began to get ready for bed. Usagi was just about to head in when there was a rustle from in the forest.
"AAHH!!!" Usagi screamed and hid behind Haruka. "It's another guard!!!" Mako suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Mako? What are you doing here?" Minako asked.
"There are more guards coming after you!" Mako said. "Five of them. I saw them marching through the forest."
"Maybe it would just be easier to find a new hiding spot," Ami said.
"Looks like we haven't much of a choice," Luna said.
"I can take you to a place that no one knows about," Mako said. "I grew up in these woods so I know the shortest way to get there too." So everyone grabbed the few possessions they had and followed Mako through the wood until they came to a small pond with a waterfall. Mako walked behind the waterfall into a rather large cave. "I'm the only one who knows about this cave," Mako assured them.
"Mako, will you please stay here with us?" Luna asked. "I think you might be one of the senshi we are looking for."
"Senshi?" Mako asked.
"I'm trying to reform the sailor senshi. It will be easier if you don't ask questions. You will know everything in time," Luna said.
"Okay. I'll stay here even though I'd prefer to know what's going on," Mako said.
"Yay!!!" Usagi said and jumped up and down.
