Episode 2-
The beating of steady feel and hands against a punching bag could be heard. Groans and heavy sighs filled the air as Kenta kicked and punched his punching bag. He had to train to be stronger.. then that girl. Who did she say she was? Oh yes, Sailor Jupiter. Hatred burned in his body. Who did she think she was anyway? A week had passed and each battle there she was attacking before him, trying to beat him to the monster. He had to get her.. had to. Suddenly he realised someone else was in the room.
"Mako-chan?" He whispered seeing her in the door wearing a karate uniform. She blushed and looked down.
"I-I.. I came to practice a little and I didn't know you were here. And then I came in and you were training and I didn't want to bother you." She looked up slightly. She didn't add the part about why she came, which was because she had to get stronger. To beat that Sagittarius guy.
"How long have you been watching me?" He looked at her and wiped the sweat off his brow. She studied him slightly, he looked so handsome like that.
"A few minutes..." She sighed and walked up next to him. "Why are you training so hard?"
"Personal reasons" He looked away from her.
"I see.. mind if I train with you?" He smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, that would be great." They got into their stances and began.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
"Wow you're a great fighter." Mako-chan took a swig of water and sighed trying to catch her breath.
"You are too! Don't give me all the glory." He smiled and walked out with her. "Well.. I better go change, will you wait for me? I'll buy you an ice cream."
Mako-chan was surprised by his proposal. Was he asking her out? She decided he was just being friendly.. really. She nodded and ran off to the locker room. She changed into her regular clothes and walked out. She stood by the men's locker room for some time. She even began to think he already left but then she felt someone creep up behind her and put two hands on her eyes. "Guess who?"
"Kenta!" She smiled and turned around finding herself looking at her friend's face. "Shall we?"
He nodded and they began walking towards the ice-cream shop. She couldn't believe she was actually going somewhere with Kenta.
"So how long have you been doing karate, Kenta?" Asked Mako-chan.
"A couple years. I have to train a lot so I can fight and de--" He cut himself off, crap! he almost said 'defeat monsters'.
Mako-chan raised a brow suspiciously but decided that he was just having trouble finding the right words. Eventually the pair reached the ice-cream shop. Kenta bought her a smoothie and got himself a huge banana split.
"Are you sure you don't want anything else?" He asked Mako-chan at the register while a guy with many pimples and painful looking braces waited anxiously while Kenta kept on offering things and Mako-chan kept on declining. Finally he gave in and they looked around for a table. They sat and began talking again when a familiar pair walked up to them.
"Found a boyfriend, Mako-chan?" said a deep yet feminine voice. Mako-chan looked up to see Haruka with her arm around Michiru's shoulder.
"Haruka! Michiru! What are you doing here?" Mako-chan greeted them with a smile forgetting about the boyfriend question because of the happiness of seeing her friends. Though Kenta didn't forget because he was blushing furiously. "Oh yeah! This is my FRIEND, not boyfriend, Kenta. Kenta these are my friends Tenou Haruka and Kaiou Michiru."
They greeted eachother and Haruka asked a few pressing question to Kenta. He looked rather nervous. Michiru was abit less protective of Mako-chan. Kenta thought Michiru seemed very nice and she was very pretty, though not as pretty as some girls. Eventually they had to get their ice-cream and go. A short while after Mako-chan and Kenta left too walking down towards their homes which conviniently were in the same direction.
"Sorry about Haruka, she can be abit possessive. I've only known her since last year but already she's like a father to all of us." explain Mako-chan.
"Eh?! Father? But I thought she's a she! Right? Or is she a he?" Exclaimed Kenta looking rather confused.
Mako-chan laughed until she couldn't walk and Kenta had to stand and wait until she put herself back together. "Haruka is a she! But she well.. likes shes. Uhm.. Michiru and her.." Kenta cleared his throat and nodded in understanding. "Well yeah, Minako thought she was a he at first, you should have seen it when we all came running expecting to find some cute guy and seeing a girl!"
Now Kenta understood why it was so funny. He too started laughing . They didn't stop until they reached the crosswalk where Kenta had to turn in a different direction. Mako-chan continued walking with a silly grin on her face.
MEANWHILE..
SCREECH!!!! Squeaaaaalll!! Crunch. Usagi had stayed after school with Ami so Ami could help Usagi with some schoolwork. They were just leaving when they passed by the music room.
"What is that awefull noise?" Asked Ami covering her ears.
"I don't know but it sounds like trouble, it might be those weird monster things!" Said Usagi as they burst into the classroom.
"Usagi! Ami! What are you doing at school so late? Ahh drawn in here by my beautiful playing?" Minako was sitting there holding.. a flute? She had a music stand infront of her and she seemed very proud of herself. Maybe she lost her hearing, thought Usagi, because that playing was far from beautiful.
"Since when do you play the.. thing, Minako?" asked Usagi.
"Since today! And it's a flute. I decided to persue a life in music! Plus this is a great way to meet sophisticated guys, like that dishy Tsubasa!" Minako grinned. Ami seemed lost for words.
"Minako! Can't you think of things other than plots to pick up guys?" Asked Usagi.
"Oh you're just sour because you can't pick up guys anymore because you're already with Mamoru!" Minako stuck out her toungue.
"Oh.. my." Ami was still staring at Minako. It was just, so, ludicris!
"Well, anyway I was just about to finish so wait for me while I pack up my flute and then we can take the bus home together.." Minako started babling about how public transportation was a great way to meet cute guys. She packed up her stuff and the three girls headed off towards the bus stop.
On their way there they heard a honk from behind, Minako was mumbling how it was probably a cute guy admiring their beauty. But it turned out to be Haruka and Michiru who were coming back from doing errands and offered them all a ride home.
"We just saw Mako-chan at the ice-cream shop." Said Haruka ajusting her mirror while the three girls sat in the backseat.
"Really? Mako-chan alone at the ice-cream shop? She doesn't usually go there without us." Said Ami who thought this rather suspicious.
"She wasn't alone, Ami," Stated Michiru. "She was with a cute boy."
"WHAT?" Exclaimed Minako and Usagi in unison who were oogly about a rockstar in a magazine up until that point. That last thing that came from Michiru's mouth really got their attention. It got Haruka's attention too. ru calling someone a boy cute?
"Yeah, do you know him? Mako-chan claims he's not her boyfriend but I don't know.." Said Michiru.
"What did he look like?" Asked Ami calmly.
"Well, he had brown hair, and he looked like he was tall. He also smiled a lot.. he looked like a nice--"
"That must be Kenta! I KNEW IT! Mako-chan is having a secret relationship with him behind out backs!" exclaimed Minako feeling much decieved.
"Oh yes that was his name, Kenta, that's a nice name isn't it Ruka?' Said Michiru thoughtfully.
"I don't know Michi, he seemed rather suspicious. Someting in the air around him didn't seem quite right. You girls should find more out about him," Haruka frowned, "He might not be good for Mako-chan"
"But she said that they're just friends" Said Ami quietly.
"Ami! We know that's not true," Said Minako with much energy. "We've, well us once and Haruka and Michiru once, already seen her with him alone twice!"
"Twice?" Asked Michiru who was listening in.
"Yes, " said Usagi, "Once before we had a meeting, he was walking with her to the ice-cream parlor. He didn't come and say hello it looked like he had something to do."
The beating of steady feel and hands against a punching bag could be heard. Groans and heavy sighs filled the air as Kenta kicked and punched his punching bag.
