---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- Last Months Happenings:
"She won't stand a chance against that thing." Venus was saying, but Jupiter had already started running towards Mars.
Mercury was taping furiously against her key pad, muttering to herself, "Almost . . . almost," and finally she said, "Got it!" When she looked up, she saw a blur take Mars away, and then through the smoky hazy she saw the creature charging right at her. She didn't have time for an attack, let alone move. She couldn't save herself or them. She did the only thing she could, and braced for the impact.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
She felt a hard shove, and something landing on top of her. Mercury looked up to see that it was Jupiter was on her. It scared her in a way, she never saw Jupiter so frighten before.
All that Jupiter was saying, was, "Are you okay?" Mercury nodded her head in a positive response. Then Jupiter asked, "What's its weakness?"
Mercury calmly stated, "It's nose."
Just as Mars and Venus were able to weaken it, Jupiter joined the battle. She charged at it, swinging punches furiously. The first punch landed perfectly on its nose, and then she lost control over herself. Jupiter just kept on punching and punching the beast, without giving it any opportunity to fight back. Just as she was pounding the creature into a fine pulp, Sailor Moon showed up.
Sailor Moon was shocked to see Jupiter pummel the creature so relentlessly. She never saw fury display the way that Jupiter was expressing it. Sailor Moon took it upon herself to show mercy on the creature and eliminate into moon dust.
Jupiter angrily confronted Sailor Moon, "Why in the Hell did you do that for? I had everything under control."
All of the girls were shocked to see Sailor Jupiter soaked in the creature's blood. Never did they once try to completely destroy an enemy with their own bare hands when Sailor Moon could just simply eliminate it. Mars tried to calm her down, "Look Jupiter, you were just beating a dead dog with a stick. She was just putting it out of its misery. She wasn't trying to upset you."
"Why am I the only one that sees that was our enemy and it deserved to suffer for what it did to us. Hell Mars, I though that at least you would understand, since it almost finished you off!" Jupiter said as she detransformed back to Lita. "Christ, Forget I said anything, I'm going home!" She said as she stomped off.
The rest of the girls turned back to their human selves, and watch Lita leave. "Did I do the right thing?" Serena asked timidly, not knowing what caused Lita to be so upset.
"Yea, you did. Lita just. . . " Mina was trying to say, but couldn't really quiet explain Lita's behavior.
"Lita just has a chip on her shoulder." Rei said in order to finish up Mina's statement. "I just don't know exactly why though."
"Say Ami, you were the last person with her, do you . . . .Oh My God!" Mina was saying as she turned to face Ami, and noticed Ami's new black eye. "What happen to you?"
Ami for some time had actually forgot about her eye. She brought her hand up to her eye and say, "Oh what, this?"
"Yea, that! What's the deal with it? Did someone slug ya?" Rei said in a somewhat humorous tone.
Ami obviously was taken back by the statement and plainly responded, "I rather not talk about it."
"Holy shit, Ames, some one actually did slug you. You have to let us know who did this to you!" Rei said a little bit embarrassed about her previous statement, but now she was completely serious.
Ami started to walk away when she replied, "I rather not."
Rei was about to continue with her line of questioning but was stopped by Serena saying, "Let it go Rei. When she's ready to tell us, she will."
Once Ami was no longer in range to hear their conversation Mina asked, "Do you think this has anything to do with Lita?"
"I don't know? I'm just weird vibes between those two." Stated Rei.
"Like, we know something that you don't know or I'll never tell, type of vibes," added Mina.
"Exactly." agreed Rei.
"Well, I don't think that they would keep anything from us, without a really good reason." Serena said as she shifted uneasily were she stood. She didn't like to think that there was anything that her friends would keep from her.
Meanwhile, Lita was back in her apartment cleaning her bathroom. Whenever she felt upset she learned to do something to channel her emotions. She usually would get in a fight or hit someone, however no one was around. As she was scrubbing her bathroom floor, she heard a knock at her door. She didn't really want to answer it, but she going to anyway. She dropped her scrub brush into her bucket and slowly lifted herself from the bathroom floor. She was still suffering from injuries from the fierce battle, however she tried her best to hid it from the others. They had a lot more to worry about then her few minor, but painful injuries. As she came closer to the door the knocking became more frantic. "I'm coming." She yelled. Once she made it to the door, she opened it and was surprised to see Ami.
"Can I come in?" Ami asked timidly as she stood outside Lita's doorway.
"Yea, of course you can." Lita answered as she opened the door wider for Ami. Once she was in, Lita asked, "So, what brings you here?"
"Well," Ami started to say as she swallowed had and then continued, "I came to apologized for everything that's happen." Lita just sat there in silence, not giving any reaction to Ami's statement. Ami took upon herself to continue, "I'm sorry that I disturbed you in any way, I'm sorry that you got hurt because of me, I'm sorry that. . . ."
Lita then interrupted her, "Stop it Ami, just stop."
Ami was puzzled by Lita's reaction and asked, "Stop what?"
"Stop blaming yourself! It wasn't your fault that all of that happen." Lita said in a stern voice.
"But it was." Ami said as she lower her head shamefully. "If only I didn't. . . "
Lita interrupted her once again by saying, "If only I didn't push you away, you would have never left, you wouldn't have walked alone, and none of this would have happen."
Ami was shocked by what Lita was confessing to her. Not once did Ami think that Lita would blame herself for what happen. "Lita, what happen wasn't your fault. I decided to leave. It was my choice, and in turn I faced the consequences of that decision. This was my bad decision making, this was my fault."
"Ami, you can't blame yourself for this. Sometimes we can't control what's going to happen, it's called life, and we both got a real eye opener on it. Please Ami, if you blame yourself, I'm just going to feel more guilty about this." Lita said in hopes that if Ami wouldn't stop blaming herself for her own sake, maybe she would do it for her friend's own well being.
"If you don't blame yourself for what happen to me, then I won't blame myself for what happen to me either." Ami stated trying to end this continuing dispute.
"I can live with that." Lita said, and then asked, "You want a cup of tea?"
"Sure. I would actually like that a lot. Thank you." Ami responded as Lita headed towards the kitchen. Once she was here, Ami shouted out to her, "I think I might tell the scouts what happen. After all, they have been asking . . ." She was interrupted by a loud banging sound, as if a pot was drop. "Lita? Are you alright?" She asked, but when she didn't get a response, she took upon herself to find out why. When she went to the kitchen, she was surprised to see that Lita was on her knees, gripping at her midsection, with a look of grimace was on her face as she bit her lower lip. Ami was immediately at her side. "What's wrong Lita?" she asked as she knelt by her strong friend.
"It's nothing." Lita said, trying to hide her pain in her voice. "I just bumped my cut against the edge of the counter."
Ami looked down and noticed a red spot slowly forming. She gasped and said, "Lita! You're bleeding!"
Lita casually looked down and said, "Ah, that's nothing. Don't worry about it."
Ami was completely shocked by Lita's behavior, however she wasn't going to let her off that easily. "Well, at least let me have a look at it. After all, I'm the one who is training to be a doctor."
"Really Ami, I'm fine. Nothing to see here." Lita said desperately to avoid the whole uncomfortable situation pertaining to her injuries.
"Please Lita, let me just see how 'not bad' it really is. It's the least I can do." Ami said pleading, but then her demeanor changed to a sterner one and she commanded, "So, lets see it." Lita reluctantly listen, and lifted her shirt just high enough to see her bleeding gap. Ami gasped in astonishment. "My God." whispered Ami. Lita's flesh was ripped apart, and had a tint of green from infection. "Do you have a first aid kit around? This really needs to be taken care of."
"There's one under the bathroom sink, I'll get it." Lita stated, but before she could get up to retrieve the kit, Ami put a hand on her shoulder.
"No. Don't move! I don't want this getting any worst." Ami commanded as she left. She couldn't believe how bad Lita's injury was, and that was only from bumping it against a counter. She quickly came back to Lita's side with the medical equipment. As she was taking a few things out she asked, "Why don't you lay down on the floor while I get ready."
Ami couldn't see the look of grimace that Lita gave. "I rather stay kneeling, if that's possible." Lita said as she shifted her body uncomfortably.
"I would prefer if you lay down, it would be much more easier." Ami said as she was still searching through the kit. She glanced up to see a painful expression sink into her friend's face. "Why do you want to kneel for?" Ami asked her with her attention no longer focused on the kit, but on Lita.
"No real reason. I'm just more comfortable kneeling." That's when Ami noticed the red and blue spot by the side of her neck.
"What happen to your neck?" Ami asked coldly. She didn't liked being lied to, especially from someone she considered a good friend.
Lita was surprised by the question. "She must have seen a mark or something." Lita thought to herself. She focused her attention back to Ami and said, "I must have bumped it on something. I must be getting clumsy. Serena's habits must be rubbing off on to me." Lita tried to joke, but Ami continued to stare at her with the up most seriousness.
"Then you wouldn't mind me taking a look at you neck would you?" Ami asked in a commanding voice. She didn't like how Lita was behaving. Her health was not a laughing matter, well at least to Ami it wasn't.
"Come on Ami! Give me a break. You are already patching up my stomach. If I let you have you way with all of my minor sores, cuts and bruises, I would be in a body cast!" Lita was getting desperate. So desperate that she actually reduced herself to begging.
"I would like to see you stop me." Ami said challenging Lita. She had never had to threaten one of her friends before, but she knew that checking out whatever was physically bothering Lita, was for her own good.
As Ami slowly walked over, Lita tried to stand up and avoid Ami inspection of her neck, however the shear pain from her cut brought her back to her knees. "Ami Please Don't!" she pleaded one last time, but it was to no use.
Ami looked at the small bruise on Lita's neck. It seemed recent enough, but she didn't know why Lita would make such a fuss over a little bruise. She looked closer, and noticed that the bruised didn't end. It was cut off by collar of Lita's shirt. Before pulling the collar back for a closer inspection, she asked "May I?" Lita just silently nodded. Ami then pulled gently on Lita's collar and saw the source of Lita's discomforted. Lita's back was one big bruise, and along with the bruises were three large welds. "My God." was the only thing Ami could say.
"Happy now?" Lita said sarcastically.
"No. How did this happen?" Ami asked as she started to take care of Lita's cut on her stomach.
"You should know, you were there." Lita say coldly, being pissed at the fact that Ami made her reveal that Sailor Jupiter was not as durable as everyone thought she was.
As Ami was finishing taping the gauze to Lita, her thoughts flashed back to earlier that day. The battle was one of the fiercer ones that they faced. Ami recalled Venus barking orders to her to find a weakness. She followed dutiful as always. Her focus then went to her palm computer. In a burr of numbers, letters, and equations she was getting closer to her goal. She heard a commotion, and looked up for only a moment, just in time to see Sailor Jupiter take flight and crash land into a phone booth back first. She then answered her own question, "The phone booth?" Lita nodded silently. "Why?"
"Someone had to test the waters before everyone could jump in." Lita plainly stated as she slowly got up from the ground.
"I know that, but why you?" Ami asked.
"Oh come on Ami, you should know that." A million different reasons went through Ami skull, but she couldn't pin point a logical one that would fit Lita's situation. Her thoughts were interrupted with Lita saying, "I'm the strongest one. I can take beatings like that and come out with minor injuries. Think about it, what if Serena took a blow like that without expecting it, do you think she would come out of it unscarred?" Lita informed her as the she put the kettle on the stove.
Ami though about it, but then came up with a perfect rebuttal. "All of the Sailor Scouts have taken blows, hits and throws before and only received minor injuries. So why does it have to be you?"
Lita thoughts started to flashback to each and every battle where she would charge in first, where she would take a blow that was meant for someone else, and of course her thoughts traveled back to the battle with Beryl. She did it to protect them, and more importantly the princess. She rather suffer a brutal beating then watch any of her friends in any sort of discomfort. Plus, they had loved ones to worry about them noticing cuts and bruises. Who did she have? A potted plant or two? If she could make their lives remotely more pleasant, then she would even if it meant her own suffering. After all, she owed everything to them. Her thoughts were then interrupted by the whistling of the kettle. She saw immediately that Ami was scaring at her. She quickly though up an answer to Ami's question, "I guess because I'm the fastest one to recover in battle. Why should we be down a person when we done have to be." Lita looked at Ami, as she poured the hot water into the teacups, and watched her to see if the answer was acceptable by her standards.
"I guess that logical enough." Ami replied as Lita silently let out the breath that she was holding. "However" Ami continued to say as she stirred her tea, "That doesn't mean I'm letting you off the hook that easily."
Lita decided it was in her best interest to 'play it dumb.' "Whatever to you mean by that?" She asked as she sipped at her hot tea.
"What I mean is that no matter what you say or do you're not stopping from taking care of your back"
"Damnit Ami, Why" Lita said as she slapped her hand down on the kitchen counter top in frustration. "There's nothing broken or bleeding?"
Ami calmly put her teacup down and coolly said, "Why should we risk being down a scout when we can prevent it?"
Lita curse herself mentally. Ami had used her own excuse against her, once again proving who was the brains behind the sailor scouts. Lita leaned over the counter top and rested her head in her hands and said in defeat, "Fine, you can take care of my god damn back."
Ami lean down so that her head was level with Lita's. "Lita?" she asked timidly. She wasn't expecting this type of reaction from Lita, she didn't expected Lita to be angry at her.
"What?" Lita said a little harsher than she expected.
Ami brought her hand to Lita's chin and lifted up so that she could look straight into her eyes. "Thank you." Ami said, and then continued to speak, "Thank you for letting me take care of you. I know that you think that you can handle whatever comes your way, but I just worry about you sometimes. You don't how happy you just made me. So thank you, once again."

"What I mean is that no matter what you say or do you're not stopping from taking care of your back"
"Damnit Ami, Why" Lita said as she slapped her hand down on the kitchen counter top in frustration. "There's nothing broken or bleeding?"
Ami calmly put her teacup down and coolly said, "Why should we risk being down a scout when we can prevent it?"
Lita curse herself mentally. Ami had used her own excuse against her, once again proving who was the brains behind the sailor scouts. Lita leaned over the counter top and rested her head in her hands and said in defeat, "Fine, you can take care of my god damn back."
Ami lean down so that her head was level with Lita's. "Lita?" she asked timidly. She wasn't expecting this type of reaction from Lita, she didn't expected Lita to be angry at her.
"What?" Lita said a little harsher than she expected.
Ami brought her hand to Lita's chin and lifted up so that she could look straight into her eyes. "Thank you." Ami said, and then continued to speak, "Thank you for letting me take care of you. I know that you think that you can handle whatever comes your way, but I just worry about you sometimes. You don't how happy you just made me. So thank you, once again."

Sorry for the crappy ending, I swear the next one will end better (Whenever my lazy ass decides to write up that one)
