(Chapter 5..."Last Torment")

Rated R: meaning cussing and vulgar situations.

     The next day, Makoto was awakened by the rays of sunlight shimmering through the window and blasting on her face. She rolled over, and then sat up in bed, and yawned. Makoto got up to get dressed, then headed downstairs. There in the kitchen, she saw Heero and some blonde guy eating breakfast silently.

Makoto hesistated a minute before she said something." Hey! Good morning everyone!"

"My aren't we just the ray of sunshine?" Heero asked her sarcastically. "I forgot to introduce you two. Makoto, this is Quatre, and Quatre, this is Makoto."

      They nodded to each other and continued eating. Makoto grabbed a plate, and filled it with eggs, bacon, sausage, grits, and waffles, and she got some orange juice. Makoto then scooted over to the table and sat between Quatre and Heero.

"So Heero, when are we going to move my stuff into my room?" Makoto asked.

"Whenever I get back from town." Heero replied dryly.

"Why are you going to town?" Makoto wondered.

"To get some tools for rebuilding Quatre's shed outside." Heero said.

"Ohhh, well what will I do?" Makoto asked sorely.

Heero thought for a minute, then replied. "I don't know, go over to Sestuna's or something."

Makoto's anger flared. "Okay then! I will go wherever I want!"

     Heero and Quatre's eyes widened as they watched Makoto's temper run away with her, and her running away from the table to go who knows where. But as soon as she ran out, they continued eating slowly. Makoto kept running until she came to Setsuna's house. There, in one of the windows, was a shadow in Setsuna's room. Only, it didn't look like her. Curiousity, led Makoto into the house, and up the creaky stairs. The figure seemed to move around the room as if it were floating, or walked very lightly.

     When Makoto reached Setsuna's room, she transformed, and busted in.

Makoto yelled. "JUPITER THUNDER DRAGON!!!!"

      The figure was hit head-on, and fell to the ground.

"You dumbass!!!!! It's me!!!!" Haruka screamed.

Makoto's shock began to settle in. "Haruka?!?!"

"Of course it's me!! Who did you think I was?! Osama Bin Laden!!" Haruka shouted.

"....No, of course not, I just thought you were...Well, not Sestuna.." Makoto suggested.

"Well, I came over here to get some papers that Sestuna wanted." Haruka explained.

"Ohhh." Makoto fell silent.

"Now can I continue with what I was doing without being treated like I was Bill Clinton?" Haruka asked sarcastically.

"...Sure.." Makoto trailed.

"Thanks! I was worried I would have to beat the hell out of you to get it into your head!" Haruka scramed sarcastically.

     Makoto slunk away, and eventually came back to Heero's house. It wasn't long before he appeared at the doorway, obviously looking for her. But, then she remembered something very important that she left at her old house.

"Heero, we have got to go back to my old house!" Makoto screamed as she grabbed his arm, and threw him in the truck as well as herself.

"What the hell is your problem?" Heero asked confused.

"There's something important to me that I left at my house." Makoto squealed.

"Are you aware of how long it takes me to get to your house?!" Heero demanded impatiently.

".....So?" Makoto replied stupidly.

*********

"Vegeta, you are charged with rape, sexual assault, lying to an officer, beating an officer, refusal to obey the law, refusal to obey an officer, abuse, attempted murder, and the last thing is theft." the jugde stated.

"Theft?! What the hell did I steal?!" Vegeta screamed.

The judge pounded his gavel on his desk. "Vegeta, you will refrain from using profane language in my courtroom.. What you stole was an officer's nightstick in an attempt to murder an officer."

     It wasn't long on the trial that the jury decided he was guilty as charged.

"Vegeta, you are charged with life in prison with no paroll. Court is dismissed." The judge said as he stood up, and walked out. Vegeta was allowed one phone call though, and he stepped up to the phone, and dialed the number..

Ring, Ring, Ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's me Vegeta. They've got me in prison for Makoto.. You know what to do." Vegeta replied then hung up the phone.

     He was soon led to his cell, and given his change of clothes.

*********

     It was about eight p.m. when they reached Makoto's house.

"Are you sure you don't need my help?" Heero wondered.

Makoto sneered, then shot back. "I'm only going in to get a music box."

"A damn music box!!! That was the thing that was sooo important that it just couldn't wait?!" Heero shouted.

"Yup." Makoto smirked.

"Hurry up then." Heero said, frustrated.

     Makoto walked in to the house she had never wanted to be in again.. She went to unlock the door, but suprisingly, it was already open. A bad feeling crept up her spine, but she thought that she just didn't lock it when she left last time. Makoto walked in, and headed up the stairs to her mother's room. There seemed to be silent whispers that shook Makoto's nerves, but she just quickened her pace up the stairs until she reached her mother's bedroom door.

     She turned the knob and walked in, only to hear the music box's tune playing.

"Flying softly on angel wings, Listening when the heart sings, But did you ever know, That heartbreaks are tears of the soul?"

     Then suddenly, two figures came up to her and threw her on the floor. They starting kicking her, and beating her until she threw into another consumption attack. But they paid no mind as they kept beating her.. On the verge of death, and the music box still playing, Makoto shut her eyes and prayed that someone would help....

     Heero knew that she had been in there for too long, so he decided to go in after her. He walked up the stairs to where she had shown him her mother's room, and peeked in.. He saw Makoto being beaten and tortured.. His anger flared, and he pulled out his gun and went into the room.

"Omae o korosu!" Heero screamed as shots rang out.

     But the attackers didn't receive all the hurt, Heero was also shot in the process. But nevertheless, the attackers had been killed. Heero fell to the floor, grunting with the taste of blood in his mouth.

"Nooooo!! Heeeeeeerrrrrooo!" Makoto shouted as she ran over to him.

     Makoto held him for a few minutes, until she picked him up, threw him over her shoulder, and through the pain she was already going through and adding his weight to it, she carried him out to the truck. Without a liscence, Makoto drove him to the nearest hospital.. He was rushed to the emergency room. Makoto had come to hate the hospital, and this just made it worse.

"Please Heero, don't abandon me now.."

     It took five hours in the waiting room until she could see Heero. She went in, and ran her fingers through his unruly hair.

"I can never thank you enough." Makoto said.

"Don't worry, that was your last  torment. I promise." Heero stated.
