(Chapter 4: Don't Leave Me Alone)

PG-13

    'Where was Hero?!' Makoto had been searching for him for hours, and still no sign of him. She was sitting on the curb listening to the sudden wind howl. Then, she heard a voice scream to her that sounded so familiar. She looked up to see Cesaryan lunging towards her.

*Death is heading in my direction

In a kill there's slow but true perfection

Different from friend or foe

Pray it comes fast; the final blow.*

     Cesaryan started to fire ice blasts at Makoto.. Makoto had to flip to dodge them, and rolled on the cement.

"You think you can defeat me in your pathetic human form?! Ha!" Cesaryan preached, demo she didn't realize she had said the wrong thing.

"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!!" Makoto wailed.

     Cesaryan watched in horror as the senshi Makoto transformed in Sailor Jupiter.

"You wanna laugh now?! Take this!! JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!" Jupiter yelled.

     Cesaryan was hit by the powerful blast from Jupiter. But Cesaryan and Jupiter kept exchanging blows until.....

"ETERNAL SOUL REAVER!!" Cesaryan shouted at Jupiter.

     The creature came out of Cesaryan's body, a blue whirl of clouds, and crashed straight into Jupiter, pushing her back to the ground.. She lay there breathless, and lifeless...

~*~*~*~*~FLASHBACK~*~*~*~*~

     Makoto was sitting on the swing at an old abandoned playground.. She swirled her feet around in the sand, trying to make shapes to amuse her mind for a few minutes. Her father had been in an accident that day. Hurt on the job. Makoto sighed. 'How much longer would her parents live if they kept living so carelessly?'

"Hello... Why are you crying?" A little boy asked, his arm around the swing set pole.

"I'm not crying! Just go away!" Makoto yelled at the boy.

"Demo I want to be your friend.. I'll be there for you, even when you don't need me anymore." The little boy said.

Makoto's eyes welled up with more tears and she hopped off the swing and pulled the boy into a hug, "Okay. Thank you. My name's Makoto.. What yours?"

"I can't tell you.. Just call me Nanashi." The little boy replied.

Makoto grinned, and then watched as the cool summer breeze played with his locks of hair, "So Nanashi, do you have any friends?"

Nanashi's expression deepened, "Only you, Makoto."

"I feel special now."

"You are special." Nanashi remarked.

     They walked out of the abandoned playground hand-in-hand, ready and waiting to face anything..

     When Jupiter awoke, he was shooting at Cesaryan and Hero was there, but it seemed to have no effect. Jupiter pulled herself up off the cement, then shouted, "SUPREME THUNDER CRASH!!"

     Cesaryan was injured for a moment, long enough for him and Jupiter to discuss their strategy.

"How do we get rid of her?" Jupiter wondered.

"I guess I'll have to remember how I beat her the first time." Hero replied, breathing heavily.

~*~*~*~*~FLASHBACK~*~*~*~*~*~

     It was the first time she had seen Nanashi at school. A girl that had blonde hair, and forest green eyes. 'Who is she?' She flirted with Nanashi, and he seemed to be halfway interested. Makoto watched all this, from the shadows behind an old oak tree. Her anger and jealousy flared. She didn't want Nanashi to have any friends but her.

     So Makoto ran up to her, and punched her in the face until she hit the ground. Then proceeded to kick her in the stomach. Nanashi would only stare, not in horror, but in a weird fascination with her strength. The teacher ran over to Makoto and made her sit next to the gate, until recess was over.

     Makoto's anger only grew for the blonde, and since that day, she had always hated her.

"Why did you beat up on her?" Nanashi asked.

"Because she was trying to be your friend, and I wanna be your only friend." Makoto replied sternly.

     Nanashi just looked at her confused. He had never gotten why she did things or what she did them for, but for whatever the reason, she was a determined person, and Nanashi admired her for that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Jupiter awoke, knowing exactly what to do.

*Though I may be scared I'll pull through

As long as I know I'll be with you

But when you fade what am I left

To search my own soul in the frozen depth.*

     Jupiter concentrated on her inner power, and brought her own crystal out. Jupiter then turned into Princess Makoto. Cesaryan saw this, and pulled out her own inner power. The man from Makoto's dreams, all he could do was watch in horror as the two powers clashed, moving back and forth. 'Who is going to win?' Hero wondered. At one point Cesaryan was winning, then Princess Makoto's inner crystal power became stronger and pushed back Cesaryan.

    But then, he noticed something that the girls did not. If they continued to fuse their powers to see who would win, pressing up against in a weird tug-of -war game, their powers would eventually explode.. Taking them with it. He thought fast, and in one front flip and side spin, he came in between the two power waves.

"Aaa...Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" His voice cried as he lost consciousness.

"No!!!!!!!!" Makoto stopped her firing, then ran over to him.

"I...I couldn't let you two destroy yourselves." Hero stated.

     Tears started to fall from Makoto's green eyes. She had never felt this way before, and now she feared it was coming to and end. She kissed him, and drew back slowly.

"I love you." Makoto proclaimed.

"I love.. You too." He finally got out.

     Neither Makoto nor him said it, but they knew what was going to happen next..

"ULTIMATE DEATH REAVER!!" Cesaryan screamed.

As the flames started to head towards them, he spoke up, "By the way, you wanted to know my name, right? Well, you had it right all along.."

"Huh?"

"My name is Heero.."

      The spirit of the power washed through them, and carried their spirits away.. Only to be reunited once again, in the clouds above...

*Don't ever let go when someone loves you

Hold onto them tight; and be strong and true

You travel beyond the stars to where you don't know

But don't worry you're with each other wherever you go.*
