Matsuri: Thanks for the reviews. Even though it was just a few. I guess I'm just happy because I have access to the Internet again. (What did I do without it?) Well, here's chapter ten. Enjoy. ^_^
10 Chapter Ten
Things certainly had changed between Duo and Makoto. They were closer to each other and spent even more time together. Of course, Usagi told Makoto about the guys and since they promised to keep their secret, the guys no longer had to sneak around when they had a mission. It took a while, but Wufei started to accept the fact that the girls were there and that that's where they were staying as far as his other fellow pilots were concerned. The only problem he had was with Duo and Makoto when they decided to have a make-out session in the living room. Other than that, no one had a problem with anyone else. The girls also continued to train at night without anyone finding out. This went on for a few weeks. Now Makoto and Duo were in the garage. She was helping him fix a crack on the foot of Deathscythe.
"Wrench," Duo said, his hand held out.
"Wrench," Makoto repeated, as she handed it to him.
"Abnormal-sized bolt."
"Abnormal-sized bolt."
"Adhesive."
"Adhesive."
Duo worked and Makoto watched. Within minutes, Duo stood and stretched.
"Done?" Makoto asked.
"For now," Duo said, cocking his head to one side to look over his work. "After this dries, I have to come back and add a few more touches. Wouldn't want Deathscythe breaking down on me." Makoto stared up at the gundam. There was nothing like this at home. She probably never would've been able to imagine anything like it.
"It must be hard trying to make sure that Deathscythe is in good working order," she said.
"Not really," Duo answered, tossing the wrench back into the toolbox. "Deathscythe hardly ever gets hurt, but when he does, it's not really hard to fix him, if you know what you're doing."
"Seems like a lot of hard work to me," Makoto said, not taking her eyes off of Deathscythe.
"It's not."
"A waste of time."
"A masterpiece."
"A piece of junk."
Makoto burst into laughter at Duo's expression. She wrapped her arms around him in an embrace. He returned her embrace, a smile replacing his funny expression. He looked into Makoto's eyes. They were different somehow. They didn't hold her usual sadness, but were clear with no problems and so innocent. And her laugh was so light and carefree. She was a whole new person and Duo looked upon her with so much love that he didn't want to let her go. He bent and pressed his lips lightly to hers and this time she didn't withdraw or push him away. She welcomed the kiss and it made him so happy to be accepted, to be wanted. He then held her close so that her ear lay against his neck bone. They stood there in front of Deathscythe, holding each other.
"I don't even remember why you and Usagi are here," Duo spoke softly. He felt Makoto sigh as her fingers curled into a little of his hair as they always did when he held her.
"I wish that I could forget," she said.
"I'm glad that you're here," Duo stated. "And I don't want you to go."
"Duo-
"I don't care what the reason is you're here. I just want you to stay here.with me."
Makoto's eyes began to water, but she didn't let a tear fall. She remembered all that Duo had done for her. How happy he had made her. She never thought that she could trust anyone like she trusted Duo. He was a dream come true, one of a kind. All the more reason for her to feel sorrowful.
"I wish that I could stay too."
In the next room, the guys talked about their fellow gundam pilots.
"Well Duo's out of his funk," Trowa said, solemnly.
"Yeah," Quatre said. "Makoto has surely made him happier than he was before."
"You mean than when he was with Hilde?" Trowa asked. Quatre nodded.
"So she's made Duo happier," Wufei stated. "But why the big secret as to where their from? If you ask me, I think it's about time they told us."
"I don't think we should pressure them- Quatre started, but was cut off.
"We haven't been pressuring them," Wufei replied. "They've been here for a few months and we haven't questioned them not one time. By now, we should know." Wufei walked out of the room.
"But Wufei." Quatre started, but he let it go.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "You're right, Wufei," Makoto said, moving a wisp pf hair from over her eyes. "We should've told you guys a long time ago." Everyone was in the dining room sitting at the table. The guys were on one side and they faced the girls.
"Where should we begin?" Makoto asked, looking at Duo as if pointing the question directly to him.
"How about why you two are so important to humanity?" Wufei suggested, blandly. Quatre glared at Wufei.
"Well we started out as princesses," Usagi stated. "Makoto is the princess of Jupiter and I am the princes of the moon. There were also others. The princesses of Venus, Mercury and Mars. We were reborn on earth."
"Princesses," Quatre repeated in bewilderment.
"But that was a long time ago," Usagi quickly added. We were reborn on earth and our powers were awoken. From then on, we protected the earth as sailor scouts from enemies of outer space."
"Now we've come against a new enemy named Visus," Makoto cut in. "We battled him and lost Venus, Mercury, and Mars. We would've died ourselves if it hadn't been for sailor Pluto, Setsuna."
"And those other girls?" Quatre asked.
"Sailor Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn," Makoto answered. "They've come over so many times so that we can figure out a way to defeat Visus."
"No luck?" Duo asked, his eyes showing his worry.
"None," Usagi answered. "Visus is pure energy. We can't think of any ways to defeat him." Hiro remembered when Usagi asked him if there had been anything invented that could trap energy. He frowned, trying to think.
"What if you don't find a way to defeat him?" Duo asked. "Do you still have to go back?" Makoto nodded.
"Yes," she answered. "We have to at least try. If not then he'll destroy our world and that means the end of others." The guys nodded in understanding. They would rather die fighting than to just sit around and watch. Hiro was staring intently in thought. Duo was pacing now. He had a lot on his mind. Jupiter, Makoto, princess, protecting, Visus. Everything came at him at once. If Makoto left to fight, she might not come back. He might never see her again, but if she stayed, the world would end. He looked at Makoto. She didn't seem to be the one to fight or maybe she did, but to fight for the world? She was so frail. How could she? Makoto watched Duo with her eyes. How was he feeling? What was he thinking? She couldn't tell and it worried her. 'Duo, calm down. You're making me nervous,' Makoto thought, closing her eyes.
"S-so," Duo stuttered, putting a fist up to his forehead. "You'll have to leave anyway." Makoto sighed and stood. She wrapped her arms around Duo. Usagi clutched Hiro's arm, her head resting on his shoulder. Wufei stood to get ready to leave.
"I'll be back later," he said in a more soft tone, as if it would make up for his harshness. Makoto pulled Duo to the living room.
"Gomen, Duo," she said to him. "I should've told you earlier. Then maybe. maybe we wouldn't have been involved with each other." Duo gently caressed Makoto's face.
"I would've found my way to you eventually," he said. He was answered with a smile.
Matsuri: AHHHHH!!! I know it's short. Forgive me!! But.let's see.the next one should be longer! So bear with me please. I also have a question for all of those who know. What are all of Saturn's moves? I'm trying to think, but I can't remember. You don't have to tell me all of them, but a couple would be nice and maybe a little description of what they do. Thanks! The next chapter is coming soon! ^_^
