Chapter Eighteen: Hearts Broken
Disclaimer: Hello ^_^. Nothing belongs to me peoples except for the kids. Sorry I know I'm disappointed too.
Note: Just a reminder: Michiru and Haruka are 28 years old and Hotaru is 21. I have decided to put them in now. Again, a reminder to you all, Toru is 13 years old while his sister Matsu is 1 ½ years old. Makoto is 22, The rest of the inner senshi are 23 years old, like Heero (Heiji) is. Mamoru is 27. Quatre and duo are 24 years old while Wufei and Trowa are 25..
~*~*~*~*~
A raven haired woman looked at a door that lead to her friend's room with tears as she could hear the sobs that stung her heart. She knew what Makoto was going through right now. For she had seen everything that day and it still hung to her memory like it had happened yesterday. As she pressed her forehead on the door her shoulder length hair fell around her like a curtain. It was a horrible day. She had lost her first baby and she had only four months left to go. She knew that it killed Mako-chan.
Sighing, the Queen of Mars rose from her position and wiped the tears before they leaked. Her back straight she reached for the door and placed her palm flat on the oak wood. "Mako-chan." She whispered but loud enough for the other woman to hear. When she didn't receive any answer she called her name once more but a little louder. "Please Mako, open up." She pleaded when she heard nothing from her dear friend.
Few moments later the door slowly open to reveal the tall woman whose eyes were full of unshed tears. Immediately Mars wrapped her arms around her friend and held her tightly, telling her she was there for her.
Makoto cried even harder than before as she encircled her arms around her friend's shoulder and buried her face in her silky hair.
"It's going to be alright Mako-chan." The brunette whispered as she gently strokes her taller friend's back, giving her the support she needed. "I'm here for you."
~*~*~*~*~
"She's what?" Haruka asked astounded to make sure she had correctly.
The Doctor took a look at everyone's reaction and immediately hated his position right now. Why was it that every time he had to deliver bad news he would have to explain to the family or friends what had happened? He just wished that his patients would have the common decency to tell what was going on before coming to the hospital for once.
"What the hell do you mean?" Haruka repeated with much force behind her words. She was losing patience with the doctor.
The man sighed in defeat and looked straight at the man in front of him with slight annoyance. "Ms. Fuji."
"Don't call her that. Her name is Kino." Haruka quickly corrected. There was no way she would allow this wedding proceed, not after what happened. She knew this was going to be trouble. These men screamed nothing but trouble. They should have never resided here. Now look what accured because of one of them. Her princess was nearly killed and from her understanding, she had just lost one of the things she had dreamed about the most, a baby. This will be a hard one for her to get over she already knew that. Haruka was shaken from her thoughts when the doctor continued with less patience he had showed before but she didn't care, she only wanted to clear up one thing. What the heck was going on between Mako and Heiji?
"Ms. Kino lost her child sir. Her womb was nearly damaged from the attack."
Usagi gasped, as she looked shocked and worried. "You mean to tell me that she could have never produce a child again?"
The doctor nodded gravely and received many gasps and cries of concern of the female, Mamoru, Toru and Quatre. "I haven't told her the news yet."
"Don't tell her." Minako spoke quickly as she took a step forward collecting the attention of everyone.
"Minako we have to." Rei silently spoke as she looked away from the blonde. Her left hand clench tightly into a strong fist as she thought of the brunette. "We can't let her find out on her own, when we know."
'Mamma.' Toru silently called in distress as he watched the scene in front of him.
"But it will kill her!" Minako exclaimed with tears flowing from her eyes. She felt completely empty and miserable knowing the news would emotionally destroy her friend. To lose a baby at such an age was completely devastating. Sobs left her pink pouty lips as she closed her eyes as if trying to shut in all the tears.
"If we keep this from her, she will never forgive us." Rei spoke softly.
"But."
"Minako, don't do this." Usagi gently said as she tried to keep her tears at bay but failed. Rivers of clear salty water ran down her porcelain white face, while her eyes radiated sorrow and anger. "If it was you, how would you feel like if you knew we kept something from you? Something this tragic and found out later, how would you feel?"
'Did this really happen?' Toru asked without a sound as he looked down at his sister.
Sobs were the only answers that were given as the blonde shook from grief for her friend. It wasn't fair. Why did this have to happen? Why her? It was a dream to hold a family of her own. To have a family, why did it have to be destroyed? Unknown to her, her legs gave way unable to support her trembling body anymore. Ami bit her lips, trying to stop the sobs as she ran to her friend on the flow. She embraced the blonde as she buried her face in her silky hair, hiding the tears from everyone's eyes.
Duo stepped forward towards the two girls on the floor but was quickly blocked by Haruka and Michiru. Both women glared deadly towards him and his friends, while keeping the sorrow at bay. They will deal with them first before they went to their princess. While Hotaru took the time to dry her tears and run towards the room that held Makoto.
'If it did why didn't you tell me? Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry mamma!' He closed his eyes tightly while he held his sister closer to him. 'I did something wrong! I failed.'
Haruka was the first to speak as she stared at the helpless pilot 02. "Get the hell out of here." She hissed with so much fury and loathing that it surprised most of the guys. "You have done enough. Leave!"
"But."
'Does this mean, I'll die?' he asked in silence, his voice showing sadness and horror as he looked in shock.
"Leave!" Michiru barked as her always gentle eyes narrowed into slights of anger. Her blue eyes reflecting the image of a traumatized Duo, yet she didn't care. They had killed their princess emotionally and it won't be tolerated.
As the men were about to turn around Haruka spoke up. "Don't show your face around us anymore. We will collect Mako's things later. Stay away from her and the rest of us from now on." She gave her last warning.
Wufei narrowed his eyes in anger before he turned to leave; yet deep inside he was worried for the brunette. Well, it wasn't like he could do anything anymore; they were banned from seeing the girls. Maybe it was for the best. Wasn't what he wanted? 'Ch, weak onnas.' He silently thought. He could hear the footsteps of his companions right behind him as they left the building.
"Matte!" Toru yelled as he ran to catch up to them. By now the Doctors were long gone. Breathing hard he stood up straight and looked at the men straight in the eyes. "You can't give up yet." He spoke forgetting about protocol as tears built up in his eyes. "I know it will be hard but please don't give up yet."
"Listen Toru." Duo said as he looked down at the young boy. "We have caused a lot of damage by just keeping Makoto and Mina-cha.Minako in the house with us. We nearly lost a friend."
"And you will lose seven more if you leave right now! I know you care for Minako-chan," He stated as he looked at the brunet and turned to the solitary dragon. "I know you're falling in love with the priestess and you Quatre, you like Hotaru-chan. Trowa-kun." He sniffed. "Please Trowa don't give up on Ami. You'll all live to regret it." He bowed his head in defeat as the cries that were buried within him were brought out to the surface, singing to the stunned men in front of him. "Please!" He begged for them to change their minds and return with him. He begged that they would put up a fight for what was there's. He begged that nothing at home changed because of him.
"Toru." Quatre whispered surprised and touched. He smiled a small smile as he placed a hand on the child's shoulder. He watched as Toru raised his head slowly to meet his gaze. "Everything will turn out as they should, but for now we should part from the girls." With those words the blond Arabian turned and left with the group of men. "When you see Heiji tell him to come home. We have a meeting."
Toru watched as they walked away from him in a single line and vanished in the horizon. He wiped his tears like a five year old before he turned around and run back to the hospital.
~*~*~*~*~
Heiji, unnoticed to Makoto, slipped into the room that kept her in. He stood by the door a good while just watching her back as she faced the other way. How was he to approach her? It was his fault that she was in this room, this bland and quiet room where she was attached to an IV. Maybe he shouldn't have come back. Maybe he should have just stayed on L1 for his vacation and not back to his hometown. That was his basic plans anyway. To stay home and prepare for the next mission, but some how Quatre and Duo had managed to convince him to go to Tokyo with them and take a real vacation. He never dreamed of seeing her once more. And now he truly placed her in trouble. How was he supposed to face her now, which she had lost their baby because of him? He wouldn't stand to see those beautiful green eyes look at him accusingly. Maybe he should go back to the colonies and forget about everything here. He slowly turned back to leave the room.
Makoto opened her eyes, she had sense someone coming in her room but knowing whom it was she didn't think she could face him at this time. Even though the doctor hadn't told her, she knew she lost the baby. She didn't feel that connection with her as she once did before. She felt ashamed and confused, not to mention scared and depressed. She had lost one of the most important things to her. How was she supposed to call herself a mother when she couldn't even save her daughter? She felt she betrayed her unborn child and it killed her deeply. Tears blinded her vision as they rushed out in a graceful river. How she longed for her mother's touch right now. She wished her mother would just come and see her. She needed her so much. Without her say her lips moved to call out Heiji's name making him stop in his tracks before he could leave the room. She needed someone. Someone to comfort her, telling her everything would be ok. She didn't want to be in this situation. It was devastated when she realized that she had lost her child. Why did this happen to her? Why? Her tears and sobs came rushing out of her being as the realization occurred. She wanted it so much to be a nightmare where she could easily wake up from but she knew she couldn't. This was real. This pain was real. Her family was stripped out of her arms once again. She cried even harder. She didn't even feel the rough yet soft hands of Heiji lay upon her shoulder as he lowered his level too look into the closed eyes of Mako. After a slight shake, she opened her eyes to look at him. He knew! Her mind yelled as she stared into his eyes. She could see worry, hurt, anger and regret. She closed her eyes tightly and looked away from him. "No." She whispered when she felt him turn her face towards him. She didn't want to face him. Not now at least.
"Ko-chan." He whispered with distress. "I'm so sorry."
Sobs were his only answer as the brunette quickly closed the gap between them and buried her face in his. His next words he uttered shattered her completely. " I can't give you what you want. My heart has been cold for too long. I don't deserve you Makoto. I'm sorry." He pushed her forward a bit and lifted a hand to her chin and lifted her face to his. Heero brought his lips down on hers in a gentle goodbye kiss. He parted from her and started into her eyes for a moment before he kissed her forehead gently and stood up. Without looking at the mortified brunette, he walked away. "Makoto, I'm so sorry for what I have done to you. But I can no longer love you." With that he fled the room, almost running into Haruka and Michiru. The softly whispered apology did nothing to quiet Makoto's hurt.
Michiru who was closest to him turned back when she spied tears in his eyes. Looking puzzled she turned back around and entered the room only to see her princess crying her heart out in Haruka's arms. "Koto-chan."
Violet eyes blinked softly before completely melting into the shadows of the room leaving no trace behind notifying the three individuals of the room that the goddess of death was there.
~*~*~*~*~
When Heiji was running towards the exit of the hospital he had passed the girls in the waiting room and bumped into Toru as he was coming back from outside. The younger boy had stopped him from running and divulges what Quatre told him. Nodding Heiji had walked up to the house that held the five pilots.
Once he entered the house he went straight into the library to find the men sitting in various places waiting for him. Duo was the first to notice him and immediately stood up from his laying position on the couch. "How is." He stopped his question once he saw the unemotional expression on his friend's face. His hopeful look turned into a sad and helpless appearance. "Heiji."
"Heiji no longer exist." He spoke in the voice that the men around him was use to listening to for more than two years. Blank and cold. "We leave as soon as the next mission comes. And no buts!" He uttered callously before turning to leave.
"Wait!" Quatre immediately spoke up as he stood from his sit. "What happened? What about Mako-chan."
Heero stopped at the door and looked over at the blond over his shoulder. "Makoto? I know no one named Makoto. Be prepared to leave at any time." He finished before walking away quietly from the stunned group. Unknown to them a tear cascaded from his face. 'It's the only way, I'm sorry.Mako.'
~*~*~*~*~
Hotaru watched carefully as Heero walked into his room, from the balcony, well hidden in the shadow. Her sailor fuku appeared on her in a shimmer of purple and black light. Her eye narrowed as she watched him sit down on his chair and on his lab top. "Bastard." She whispered as she watching him continued as if he had never broken someone's heart just an hour ago. She had followed him to his house unnoticed by the perfect soldier and by elimination she picked this room to look into. Lucky enough it was the right one. In a swift and calculated move she opened the door leading to the room from the balcony and slipped in, making the shadow around the dim dark room, be her home for now. She watched as he slowly turned around to face the balcony suspiciously. He watched as the drapes flutter in the wind that suddenly swept inside.
After a while, Heero stood up and walked slowly towards it just incase it was a trick. Walking outside he scanned the area first, finding nothing he left it alone and closed the door behind him. As he was about to turn around he felt a short breeze and his senses were on high alert as he turned around with his gun in his hand pointing at the intruder only to see Sailor Saturn. She stood there radiating anger and danger as she looked up at him with the glaive in his hands. With a swift move she used her glaive to take away the gun and scratching him as well. Seeing the blood dropped from his hands and to the ground made her a bit satisfied. Without delay, she pointed the glaive to his neck, inches away.
The perfect soldier glared at the soldier of death and rebirth before he spoke "What are you doing here?" He whispered and strained his neck upwards as he pushed the glaive closer to his neck.
Saturn glared at him deeply, her eyes seemed haunted, before she whispered, "I know what you did to Makoto in that room." She spoke in a confident voice, one that showed calm and significance. A calmness that he, himself couldn't master completely. "Now that you have done it, forever stay away from her." She warned the last time before she melted back into the shadows and dashed out of the room through the same place she entered leaving Heero alone in his room.
