Note from JupLuna: To Hikari_angel, I'm sorry you felt that way about
chapter 5, but I didn't mean it to come off like that. Yes I know that
Hotaru has gone through a lot of crap in the actual anime…but so has
Makoto…as I see it they are in the same boat, but as Hotaru actually had a
family to go to, Makoto didn't, and feels that Usagi, Minako, Rei, and Ami
are her family, so she will defend them. Not to mention that she has a
VERY evil temper and goes off for no reason…which is something she also
does in the actual anime, but normally they play it off as nothing, where
as I didn't do that. All has been forgiven in the story line though. Not
to mention that Hotaru has her moments as well feeling emotionally
confused. It happens…so please don't yell at me for not knowing
Hotaru…because ANY Makoto fan can tell you that their pain is similar.
Hello all and welcome to chapter 7. I'd like to announce that all the pilots are now healthy once more and Duo and Quatre have found that going to get drunk while your sick is not the best idea. Right now the pilots are out trying to complete all the missions they ended up missing while they were sick. So you'll have to deal with another of my muses to help me in the first part. I introduce you to Juno, Makoto's Guardian Kitty, a blue Russian cat that has no markings. As a human she is 5'7" with long gray blue hair that comes to her mid back…but its done in tons of small braids.
Juno: Hello all.
JL: Thank you for coming on such short notice.
Juno: It's all right. I was just waiting for when you worked on the other story for you're other name.
JL: Quiet cat.
Juno: Oh yes, sorry for that. Let me just get the disclaimer out of the way so you can get to work. JupLuna and Kawai Hotaruchan do not own Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon. I however am a creation of JupLuna's so if you wish to use me in a story you must ask her first. I unfortunately will not be making an appearance in this or any of her other stories that she has on the net at the moment, under this name. Thank you and have a nice day.
JL: I made you too proper.
Juno: I rather like being like this.
JL: On with the show.
(Last time)
Hotaru hit herself on her head. "I can't believe I forgot to explain. One of Sailor Jupiter's powers is thunder. And Sailor Neptune's power is water. See what I meant?"
"Hai."
"Good. I don't feel like explaining any more. I'm going to go back to bed. Oyasumi nasai."
"Oyasumi nasai." Heero mumbled as the drenched senshi of Saturn walked towards the house. Heero then let himself blush. 'She was the one that helped me breathe? Grr...and why the hell am I blushing?!' Heero cried in his thoughts as he too retreated back towards the mansion.
(Now)
Makoto watched as the "perfect soldier" walked into the mansion. "They are both stubborn." She said shaking her head, her hair twitching a little. She then turned to look at the door and found Duo leaning against the inside wall of her room, fast asleep. "Osage báka." She said softly. She left the room and walked downstairs to the library. She found Ami and Trowa reading there.
She went to get the book she had started and sat down on the couch across from Trowa.
"Ami-chan I need your help with something." She said as she looked to the book and then to her blue haired friend.
"How can I help you Mako-chan?" Ami said pushing her glasses to her eyes again and putting her own book down.
"I've been studying this section of the book and I can't seem to understand this one part." Makoto said as she slid closer to Trowa so Ami could sit next to her.
"Mako-chan, why are you reading a book about hypnosis?" Ami asked curiously.
"I've decided I want something to fall back on if I'm not able to have my own bakery, so I'm going to study and do hypnotherapy on the side." Makoto said as she looked to her friend.
"Mako-chan are you sure you want to do that?" Ami asked.
"I can already hypnotize people, it's just trying to figure out what to do from there that has me stumped. I need to be able to allow someone to go back into their own past, and perhaps back into another life." Makoto said.
"What are you having problems with?" Ami said looking to the book.
"I need to know this one word. I could only find this book in French and I can't understand this one word." Makoto said pointing to a rather short phrase that read: mentioone plus haut, susdit.
"That means aforementioned." Trowa said looking at the word.
Makoto and Ami looked up at him as he looked at the words she pointed to.
"Arigatou, Trowa-chan." Makoto said as she continued reading from the book.
Ami looked as the young clown then went back to his own reading. She shook her head and headed back over to her own book. Ten minutes later she looked back to the couch to find Makoto and Trowa sitting in the same position both had their legs crossed Indian-style under them. Both looked to be very much involved in their books. At the same time they both put a finger to the corner page and turned it. They looked like they could be clones of each other or something like that. Their hair color only a shade off, their eye color only a shade off, if she didn't know any better she would have sworn that they were… He thoughts were interrupted as the door opened once again to reveal Duo.
"I fell asleep standing up." He said as he walked in and sat in between Makoto and Trowa.
Ami watched as they dog eared the corner of the page, took it in their left hand and put it on their lap. "Curiouser and curiouser." She said to herself, yet Trowa had heard her.
"Makoto can you make dinner? I'm really hungry." Duo said looking at her with puppy eyes.
"Are you going to help me?" She asked not even looking at him. He nodded his head. "Alright then, but don't make a mess." She said as she led the way out the door.
"She's gotten some of her seriousness back. I'm glad." Ami said looking at the now closed door. "Hotaru and Makoto seem to be getting back to their old selves." She added.
"You are changing too." Trowa said.
"How so?" Ami asked taking her glasses off.
"You're opening up more." Trowa said putting his book on the table next to him.
"I suppose you're right. I've just begun to understand that what has happened in my past should not make me change, just because I didn't like what happened." Ami said.
"At least you have a past to run away from." He said.
"Hai, but I don't know what past I am truly running from." Ami said.
"What do you mean?" Trowa asked, a bit of curiosity showing in his voice.
"It doesn't matter." Ami said putting her book away.
"It might help to talk about it." Trowa said. Ami just closed her eyes. "Ami, don't shut yourself out. That's not the real you." Trowa said.
"You're right, but there are too many of me to chose from." Ami said. "You see, I'm not from this dimension. My name is Ami Mizuno and in my dimension it is my destiny to protect one of my best friends, with magic. I was known as Sailor Mercury, with powers over Ice and Knowledge. In a past life I was the Princess of Mercury, and along with my friends, the other princesses of the planets we were to protect the people in a time known as the Silver Alliance. During that time we failed to protect them and we all died. The Moon Queen sent us all to the future at the price of her own life. Now in my present I have been shunned by those closest to me, for something I could not control about the past. So now I am here, with the other "outers" as they're called, trying to survive and learn how to use the powers of the outer solar system. I also am now trained to be a gundam pilot as you are. No matter where we go, it is our duty to protect the innocent." Ami informed Trowa.
"Sounds interesting." Trowa said.
"Do you not believe me?" Ami said.
"Not really. I can understand the Gundam part, but coming from a different dimension all together. That reads like a strange fantasy book." Trowa said.
"I shall give you proof." Ami took out a small stick that had the symbol of Mercury on its top. "Mercury Crystal Power, Make-Up!" Ami was covered in blue ribbons and bubbles. The air around her grew cold and as the light show faded Ami stood clad in her fuka, as Super Sailor Mercury. "Believe me now?" Mercury said.
"Ami is that you?" Quatre said coming into the room seeing the light show.
"We have much to discuss." Setsuna said as she walked away. "Quatre, gather everyone in the living room."
A half-hour later the five pilots and six scouts sat in one of the large dens in Quatre's mansion. "What was all this about onna?" Wufei asked as he sat on one of the couches glaring at the girls.
"Seeing as how three of you know the whole story, I believe it's time for us to tell you all the truth." Setsuna said. A large staff appeared in her hand and as she lifted in all of the scouts instantly transformed. The guys watched with slight amusement. Well Duo was extremely happy seeing the naked silhouettes of six extremely beautiful women. Heero couldn't keep his eyes off of Hotaru. He believed her story, but actually seeing her in the scout fuka made it seem more real. "My name is Sailor Pluto. I am the guardian of time for this world and the world that the other scouts come from. Quatre before you ask, yes you are my real nephew. It's very complicated, but that is why you are empathic and can feel emotions. Haruka is also known as Sailor Uranus, guardian of Wind and Earth (not the Guardian of THE EARTH…her element is Wind and Earth…). Next to her is Michiru, or Sailor Neptune, Guardian of Water and Oceans. Ami is known as Sailor Mercury, guardian of Ice and Knowledge. Next is the youngest, Hotaru, or Sailor Saturn, guardian of Death, Rebirth, Destruction, and Healing. Last is Makoto, or Sailor Jupiter, guardian of, Nature, Storms, and Protection and Loyalty. We have come here to help you fight for what little peace you can get." Pluto said. She lowered the time staff and all the scouts were in their civilian form once more.
"How do you plan on helping us?" Quatre asked.
"They pilot Gundams." Heero said in monotone.
"Yeah they were the ones that helped us the other night." Duo said butting in.
"What was the real reason you came here?" Trowa said.
Makoto looked at him and smiled. "Ami and I were sent away, when our friends found out about our past. There are two groups of scouts, the inners and the outers. Ami and I fought for years protecting the Moon no Hime. Pluto told us after all the fighting was over that Mercury and Jupiter were once apart of the outer solar system, thus making us a bit stronger, yet we couldn't tap into those powers. Our Hime sent us away to find our true destinies, because we weren't supposed to have helped her out. Ami and I are truly supposed to monitor the solar system and try to stop any evil before it gets to the planets. It's confusing." Makoto said seriously.
"And what of family? You can just leave like that?" Quatre asked.
"Hotaru doesn't live with her father anymore, she lives with Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna. I on the other hand have been living in a dorm, my mother is a doctor and moved to Germany shortly after I decided to get my doctorate in Japan." Ami said.
"And what of you?" Wufei asked Makoto.
"I have lived on my own since I was very young. Both of my parents died and I was orphaned. My "family" sent me here." Makoto said, indicating the inner scouts as her family.
"So how can you protect your princess, and your world from here?" Heero asked.
"The Hime still has the Venus no Hime and Mars no Hime to protect her, not to mention her fiancé." Michiru said.
"Does that mean that you are princesses too?" Duo asked.
"Hai. A thousand years ago, in our world, we lived as princesses and protectors of our own planets. An attack by a sorceress named Beryl caused our deaths. Our souls were sent to earth's present to be reborn." Haruka said.
"We will eventually become immortal once more, after the completion of Crystal Tokyo, though since the past has changed the future will more than likely change as well." Hotaru said.
"So let us get this right, you are all princesses from another world, and you will become immortal in the future, not to mention you can pilot gundams?" Wufei asked a bit loud.
"And we have magick powers." Makoto added.
"Supernatural onnas." Wufei mumbled.
"You're all witches." Relena said standing at the open door.
"We are the Planetary Senshi, not witches." Hotaru said giving Relena a death glare.
"I was wondering why the guys were acting so differently, you put spells on them." Relena said walking into the room, pointing her finger at the other girls.
"We can't do that kind of magick." Haruka said.
Makoto held up her hand and walked to Relena. She grabbed her around the throat and smiled slyly. "Relena I owe you for cutting my hair." Makoto growled. Her eyes became a brighter green, if that were possible. With the hand that wasn't holding Relena she held it to Relena's face. A ball of lighting slowly formed. Makoto's hair blew out in every direction, growing as it did. It grew past its original length and continued on. If her hair was down it could reach the floor. The ball of lightning grew too; it grew brighter, changing from blue to green. Its final color was a blinding white.
"Makoto." Relena said scared.
Makoto's eyes look as if they were filled with a raging storm. "I could kill you. Just remember that." Makoto said as she tossed Relena to the floor and brought the ball of lighting back like she were going to throw and baseball. Relena's pants visibly moistened and she ran out of the room. The light show vanished and Makoto turned back to her friends with a huge smile on her face. "I've been wanting to do that forever." She looked to the surrounding people, whose hair was standing on end. "Oops, gomen, forgot about the static that causes." She closed her eyes and concentrated the extra electricity into herself. Her friends' hair returned to normal.
"Mako-chan, that wasn't very nice." Ami said.
"Screw that, Koto-chan that was great." Haruka said grinning.
"No one messes with me or my friends and gets away with it. I wouldn't have killed her, but making her pee her pants was just as fun." Makoto said giving a victory sign with her fingers.
"Oh great, another Shinigami." Wufei said, thinking of Duo's alter- personality.
"Makoto you should not have done that. What did I warn you about your temper before we came here?" Setsuna demanded.
"I believe your wording was… "Don't let your temper get away from you or I'll have to do something drastic." That was it right?" Makoto asked.
"Makoto as punishment you are to train all day tomorrow with Haruka on your new powers." Setsuna said.
"That's a punishment?" Trowa asked.
Makoto just looked at Setsuna angrily. "I hate you for that." She said as she walked back to the kitchen.
"Koto-chan has a problem fighting me…her problem is she can never win. I'm her ego deflator." Haruka said answering Trowa's question.
"I think we should all get some rest. Tomorrow promises to be a long day." Setsuna asked.
"I can't believe that." Makoto said as she brushed her hair. She had thought that having it short was a problem, now it was too long.
"Want help with that?" Duo said walking into her room.
"Sure." Makoto said handing him her brush.
Duo brushed her hair and ran his hands through the soft strands. "Makoto, what were your other friends like?" Duo said, continuing his work.
"Rei was a Shinto Miko. Wufei reminds me a lot of her. She was left with her grandfather when her own father went into politics. After her mother's death he just couldn't deal with looking at the small girl that reminded him of her. Rei has never forgiven him for that. Lets see, she has some physic abilities and can read fire. She has a strong temper, but it all stems from people messing with her friends. She also has a strong sense of justice. She constantly makes fun of Usagi because of the way she acts and her hair. You remind me a bit of Usagi. She is the definition of hope. She is a pacifist, but knows that peace can only come from fighting for what you believe in. She won't kill anything if she knows that there is an alternative. In the future she will become Queen of the Earth and Moon. She has an appetite that can rival yours as well. Minako is beauty. She is sometimes an airhead, but she has a good heart. She can't get sayings right for her life though. She was my best friend for a long time. We'd go boy hunting all the time, but after a dance with Tiger's Eye, I stepped back from the love scene. Minako was loved by all. She became a model not long ago, just doing small jobs so she could still go to school." Makoto explained.
"Who was this Tiger guy?" Duo said fixing her hair.
"Tiger was one of our enemies. He came to our school dance and I wanted to dance with him so badly. He told me that he would be back to dance with me. I waited all night and into the next day. I sat there in my dress, waiting because he told me that he would be back. When he finally did come back he took my dream mirror and violated my dreams. I've never dated since then. I still didn't get my dance." Makoto sighed.
Duo stood and offered his hand. "Then may I have this dance?" He said.
"Duo I…" Makoto started.
"One dance, that's all I ask." He said kindly.
Makoto looked to the long braid that was now over her shoulder. She looked into Duo's violet blue eyes and found nothing but warmth and kindness. She took his hand and was lifted off the bed. Her braid fell to he knees. "We don't have anything to dance to." Makoto said.
Duo pulled her close and started humming in his tenor voice. He started moving and Makoto just followed his lead. Duo then started to sing.
Standing in a circle the wolves have come
But they won't bother her, no
'Cause dancing with her hands of leaves she'll sing for them
And ease their hungerin'
She's a quiet warrior.
Standing at the ocean's stoney shores
The waves all worship her
She stands in trust and lets the night swallow her
Because she knows that she's a piece of the sun
And a quiet warrior.
You ask her where from the wind blows
She'll say it's how the sky sings
And you ask her how does the sun rise
She'll say 'cause you desire it to be seen
And you ask her how does she make your heart fly
And she'll tell you, you know why
She's your quiet warrior.
Ravens they rest on his golden crown
And steal your soul
He smiles and it feels like you've known him
Yes it feels like coming home
He's a quiet warrior.
And roaring silently he's a lion
And he'll hunt for you
His eyes are warm because his hands they are made of light
And they seduce your soul
He's a quiet warrior.
You ask him where from the wind blows
He says that the earth breathes
And you ask him how does the sun rise
He'll say that she's got wings
And you ask him how does he make your heart fly
And he'll tell you, you know why
He's your quiet warrior.
Duo finished the song and looked into Makoto's eyes. "I think I could love you." He said to her. "I could give up everything for you."
Makoto's eyes glistened with unshed tears. "Duo, I…I think I could love you too." She said with a smile.
Duo leaned into Makoto, who closed her eyes and leaned into him. Their lips met. It was as if two souls had found each other after a lifetime of searching. The kiss broke and Makoto leaned her head on Duo's shoulder. "Rest now, koishii (beloved)." Duo whispered into her ear. Her eyes closed and they stood dancing to the sound of their beating hearts.
And that is it for chapter 7. Sorry this came out a bit late, as I've been sick and couldn't figure out how to sit up straight let alone write more of a story. So all the secrets are out and Makoto and Duo shared a tender moment. What's to become of Relena, and how will training day effect Makoto and Haruka? Will Hotaru and Heero grow out of their stubbornness and confess their true feelings? Will Ami figure out Trowa and Makoto's past and will Ami finally find love with Trowa as well? Who knows? Hehehe. Ja ne minna and don't forget to review, but remember…flames don't hurt pyromaniacs…they just make us happy.
Hello all and welcome to chapter 7. I'd like to announce that all the pilots are now healthy once more and Duo and Quatre have found that going to get drunk while your sick is not the best idea. Right now the pilots are out trying to complete all the missions they ended up missing while they were sick. So you'll have to deal with another of my muses to help me in the first part. I introduce you to Juno, Makoto's Guardian Kitty, a blue Russian cat that has no markings. As a human she is 5'7" with long gray blue hair that comes to her mid back…but its done in tons of small braids.
Juno: Hello all.
JL: Thank you for coming on such short notice.
Juno: It's all right. I was just waiting for when you worked on the other story for you're other name.
JL: Quiet cat.
Juno: Oh yes, sorry for that. Let me just get the disclaimer out of the way so you can get to work. JupLuna and Kawai Hotaruchan do not own Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon. I however am a creation of JupLuna's so if you wish to use me in a story you must ask her first. I unfortunately will not be making an appearance in this or any of her other stories that she has on the net at the moment, under this name. Thank you and have a nice day.
JL: I made you too proper.
Juno: I rather like being like this.
JL: On with the show.
(Last time)
Hotaru hit herself on her head. "I can't believe I forgot to explain. One of Sailor Jupiter's powers is thunder. And Sailor Neptune's power is water. See what I meant?"
"Hai."
"Good. I don't feel like explaining any more. I'm going to go back to bed. Oyasumi nasai."
"Oyasumi nasai." Heero mumbled as the drenched senshi of Saturn walked towards the house. Heero then let himself blush. 'She was the one that helped me breathe? Grr...and why the hell am I blushing?!' Heero cried in his thoughts as he too retreated back towards the mansion.
(Now)
Makoto watched as the "perfect soldier" walked into the mansion. "They are both stubborn." She said shaking her head, her hair twitching a little. She then turned to look at the door and found Duo leaning against the inside wall of her room, fast asleep. "Osage báka." She said softly. She left the room and walked downstairs to the library. She found Ami and Trowa reading there.
She went to get the book she had started and sat down on the couch across from Trowa.
"Ami-chan I need your help with something." She said as she looked to the book and then to her blue haired friend.
"How can I help you Mako-chan?" Ami said pushing her glasses to her eyes again and putting her own book down.
"I've been studying this section of the book and I can't seem to understand this one part." Makoto said as she slid closer to Trowa so Ami could sit next to her.
"Mako-chan, why are you reading a book about hypnosis?" Ami asked curiously.

"I can already hypnotize people, it's just trying to figure out what to do from there that has me stumped. I need to be able to allow someone to go back into their own past, and perhaps back into another life." Makoto said.

"That means aforementioned." Trowa said looking at the word.
Makoto and Ami looked up at him as he looked at the words she pointed to.
"Arigatou, Trowa-chan." Makoto said as she continued reading from the book.

"What do you mean?" Trowa asked, a bit of curiosity showing in his voice.
"It doesn't matter." Ami said putting her book away.
"It might help to talk about it." Trowa said. Ami just closed her eyes. "Ami, don't shut yourself out. That's not the real you." Trowa said.

"Sounds interesting." Trowa said.
"Do you not believe me?" Ami said.
"Not really. I can understand the Gundam part, but coming from a different dimension all together. That reads like a strange fantasy book." Trowa said.
"I shall give you proof." Ami took out a small stick that had the symbol of Mercury on its top. "Mercury Crystal Power, Make-Up!" Ami was covered in blue ribbons and bubbles. The air around her grew cold and as the light show faded Ami stood clad in her fuka, as Super Sailor Mercury. "Believe me now?" Mercury said.
"Ami is that you?" Quatre said coming into the room seeing the light show.
"We have much to discuss." Setsuna said as she walked away. "Quatre, gather everyone in the living room."
A half-hour later the five pilots and six scouts sat in one of the large dens in Quatre's mansion. "What was all this about onna?" Wufei asked as he sat on one of the couches glaring at the girls.
"Seeing as how three of you know the whole story, I believe it's time for us to tell you all the truth." Setsuna said. A large staff appeared in her hand and as she lifted in all of the scouts instantly transformed. The guys watched with slight amusement. Well Duo was extremely happy seeing the naked silhouettes of six extremely beautiful women. Heero couldn't keep his eyes off of Hotaru. He believed her story, but actually seeing her in the scout fuka made it seem more real. "My name is Sailor Pluto.

Next to her is Michiru, or Sailor Neptune, Guardian of Water and Oceans. Ami is known as Sailor Mercury, guardian of Ice and Knowledge. Next is the youngest, Hotaru, or Sailor Saturn, guardian of Death, Rebirth, Destruction, and Healing. Last is Makoto, or Sailor Jupiter, guardian of, Nature, Storms, and Protection and Loyalty. We have come here to help you fight for what little peace you can get." Pluto said. She lowered the time staff and all the scouts were in their civilian form once more.
"How do you plan on helping us?" Quatre asked.
"They pilot Gundams." Heero said in monotone.
"Yeah they were the ones that helped us the other night." Duo said butting in.
"What was the real reason you came here?" Trowa said.
Makoto looked at him and smiled. "Ami and I were sent away, when our friends found out about our past. There are two groups of scouts, the inners and the outers. Ami and I fought for years protecting the Moon no Hime. Pluto told us after all the fighting was over that Mercury and Jupiter were once apart of the outer solar system, thus making us a bit stronger, yet we couldn't tap into those powers. Our Hime sent us away to find our true destinies, because we weren't supposed to have helped her out. Ami and I are truly supposed to monitor the solar system and try to stop any evil before it gets to the planets. It's confusing." Makoto said seriously.
"And what of family? You can just leave like that?" Quatre asked.
"Hotaru doesn't live with her father anymore, she lives with Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna. I on the other hand have been living in a dorm, my mother is a doctor and moved to Germany shortly after I decided to get my doctorate in Japan." Ami said.
"And what of you?" Wufei asked Makoto.
"I have lived on my own since I was very young. Both of my parents died and I was orphaned. My "family" sent me here." Makoto said, indicating the inner scouts as her family.
"So how can you protect your princess, and your world from here?" Heero asked.
"The Hime still has the Venus no Hime and Mars no Hime to protect her, not to mention her fiancé." Michiru said.
"Does that mean that you are princesses too?" Duo asked.
"Hai. A thousand years ago, in our world, we lived as princesses and protectors of our own planets. An attack by a sorceress named Beryl caused our deaths. Our souls were sent to earth's present to be reborn." Haruka said.
"We will eventually become immortal once more, after the completion of Crystal Tokyo, though since the past has changed the future will more than likely change as well." Hotaru said.
"So let us get this right, you are all princesses from another world, and you will become immortal in the future, not to mention you can pilot gundams?" Wufei asked a bit loud.
"And we have magick powers." Makoto added.
"Supernatural onnas." Wufei mumbled.
"You're all witches." Relena said standing at the open door.
"We are the Planetary Senshi, not witches." Hotaru said giving Relena a death glare.
"I was wondering why the guys were acting so differently, you put spells on them." Relena said walking into the room, pointing her finger at the other girls.
"We can't do that kind of magick." Haruka said.
Makoto held up her hand and walked to Relena. She grabbed her around the throat and smiled slyly. "Relena I owe you for cutting my hair." Makoto growled. Her eyes became a brighter green, if that were possible. With the hand that wasn't holding Relena she held it to Relena's face. A ball of lighting slowly formed. Makoto's hair blew out in every direction, growing as it did. It grew past its original length and continued on. If her hair was down it could reach the floor. The ball of lightning grew too; it grew brighter, changing from blue to green. Its final color was a blinding white.
"Makoto." Relena said scared.
Makoto's eyes look as if they were filled with a raging storm. "I could kill you. Just remember that." Makoto said as she tossed Relena to the floor and brought the ball of lighting back like she were going to throw and baseball. Relena's pants visibly moistened and she ran out of the room. The light show vanished and Makoto turned back to her friends with a huge smile on her face. "I've been wanting to do that forever." She looked to the surrounding people, whose hair was standing on end. "Oops, gomen, forgot about the static that causes." She closed her eyes and concentrated the extra electricity into herself. Her friends' hair returned to normal.
"Mako-chan, that wasn't very nice." Ami said.
"Screw that, Koto-chan that was great." Haruka said grinning.
"No one messes with me or my friends and gets away with it. I wouldn't have killed her, but making her pee her pants was just as fun." Makoto said giving a victory sign with her fingers.
"Oh great, another Shinigami." Wufei said, thinking of Duo's alter- personality.
"Makoto you should not have done that. What did I warn you about your temper before we came here?" Setsuna demanded.
"I believe your wording was… "Don't let your temper get away from you or I'll have to do something drastic." That was it right?" Makoto asked.
"Makoto as punishment you are to train all day tomorrow with Haruka on your new powers." Setsuna said.
"That's a punishment?" Trowa asked.
Makoto just looked at Setsuna angrily. "I hate you for that." She said as she walked back to the kitchen.
"Koto-chan has a problem fighting me…her problem is she can never win. I'm her ego deflator." Haruka said answering Trowa's question.
"I think we should all get some rest. Tomorrow promises to be a long day." Setsuna asked.
"I can't believe that." Makoto said as she brushed her hair. She had thought that having it short was a problem, now it was too long.
"Want help with that?" Duo said walking into her room.
"Sure." Makoto said handing him her brush.
Duo brushed her hair and ran his hands through the soft strands. "Makoto, what were your other friends like?" Duo said, continuing his work.
"Rei was a Shinto Miko. Wufei reminds me a lot of her. She was left with her grandfather when her own father went into politics. After her mother's death he just couldn't deal with looking at the small girl that reminded him of her. Rei has never forgiven him for that. Lets see, she has some physic abilities and can read fire. She has a strong temper, but it all stems from people messing with her friends. She also has a strong sense of justice. She constantly makes fun of Usagi because of the way she acts and her hair. You remind me a bit of Usagi. She is the definition of hope. She is a pacifist, but knows that peace can only come from fighting for what you believe in. She won't kill anything if she knows that there is an alternative. In the future she will become Queen of the Earth and Moon. She has an appetite that can rival yours as well. Minako is beauty. She is sometimes an airhead, but she has a good heart. She can't get sayings right for her life though. She was my best friend for a long time. We'd go boy hunting all the time, but after a dance with Tiger's Eye, I stepped back from the love scene. Minako was loved by all. She became a model not long ago, just doing small jobs so she could still go to school." Makoto explained.
"Who was this Tiger guy?" Duo said fixing her hair.
"Tiger was one of our enemies. He came to our school dance and I wanted to dance with him so badly. He told me that he would be back to dance with me. I waited all night and into the next day. I sat there in my dress, waiting because he told me that he would be back. When he finally did come back he took my dream mirror and violated my dreams. I've never dated since then. I still didn't get my dance." Makoto sighed.
Duo stood and offered his hand. "Then may I have this dance?" He said.
"Duo I…" Makoto started.
"One dance, that's all I ask." He said kindly.
Makoto looked to the long braid that was now over her shoulder. She looked into Duo's violet blue eyes and found nothing but warmth and kindness. She took his hand and was lifted off the bed. Her braid fell to he knees. "We don't have anything to dance to." Makoto said.
Duo pulled her close and started humming in his tenor voice. He started moving and Makoto just followed his lead. Duo then started to sing.
Standing in a circle the wolves have come
But they won't bother her, no
'Cause dancing with her hands of leaves she'll sing for them
And ease their hungerin'
She's a quiet warrior.
Standing at the ocean's stoney shores
The waves all worship her
She stands in trust and lets the night swallow her
Because she knows that she's a piece of the sun
And a quiet warrior.
You ask her where from the wind blows
She'll say it's how the sky sings
And you ask her how does the sun rise
She'll say 'cause you desire it to be seen
And you ask her how does she make your heart fly
And she'll tell you, you know why
She's your quiet warrior.
Ravens they rest on his golden crown
And steal your soul
He smiles and it feels like you've known him
Yes it feels like coming home
He's a quiet warrior.
And roaring silently he's a lion
And he'll hunt for you
His eyes are warm because his hands they are made of light
And they seduce your soul
He's a quiet warrior.
You ask him where from the wind blows
He says that the earth breathes
And you ask him how does the sun rise
He'll say that she's got wings
And you ask him how does he make your heart fly
And he'll tell you, you know why
He's your quiet warrior.
Duo finished the song and looked into Makoto's eyes. "I think I could love you." He said to her. "I could give up everything for you."
Makoto's eyes glistened with unshed tears. "Duo, I…I think I could love you too." She said with a smile.
Duo leaned into Makoto, who closed her eyes and leaned into him. Their lips met. It was as if two souls had found each other after a lifetime of searching. The kiss broke and Makoto leaned her head on Duo's shoulder. "Rest now, koishii (beloved)." Duo whispered into her ear. Her eyes closed and they stood dancing to the sound of their beating hearts.
And that is it for chapter 7. Sorry this came out a bit late, as I've been sick and couldn't figure out how to sit up straight let alone write more of a story. So all the secrets are out and Makoto and Duo shared a tender moment. What's to become of Relena, and how will training day effect Makoto and Haruka? Will Hotaru and Heero grow out of their stubbornness and confess their true feelings? Will Ami figure out Trowa and Makoto's past and will Ami finally find love with Trowa as well? Who knows? Hehehe. Ja ne minna and don't forget to review, but remember…flames don't hurt pyromaniacs…they just make us happy.
