As Ami reached Mako's apartment, the sun was about halfway over the horizon. She
pounded angrily on the door until Mako groggily opened it and looked at her.
"Ami-chan what do you want this early in the morning?"
"I need to talk to you about last night."
"You mean this morning when you got drunk off your ass and I did my damnedest to
keep you clean?"
"If that's what you wanna call it. Why the fuck did you take me to the hospital?
Especially my mother's!"
"Because you passed out and I didn't know what else to do? What do you expect me
to do? Lose the only person I ever really loved? Huh? Is that what you wanted me
to do?!" Makoto backed into her apartment and collapsed onto the sofa, allowing
Ami entry. Ami shut the door after walking in. "The reason I took you to your
mother's hospital is that I thought that would be the best one. So that you
could have your mother watch after you and not people that you don't know."
"Well, now thanks to the shit you pulled last night, I'm grounded for a week!
I'm not even able to see you except for at school! What do you think of that?
HUH?!"
Mako sighed softly and looked up sympathetically at Ami. "Maybe that's what you
need Ami-chan. I really don't know what's gotten into you, but I do know that I
don't really like it. Maybe, just possibly, this could get you back to normal.
Maybe that will get you sober again and get you back into some normal clothes."
She reached up and gently touched the spiked collar still around Ami's neck and
a sly grin crossed her face. "Although I wouldn't mind if some things stayed the
same."
Ami's glare softened a little bit and she sat down quietly beside Mako.
Mako sat up and looked directly into Ami's ice blue eyes. "Why don't you tell me
what caused all of this.... was it me?"
"No darling, of course it wasn't you. If it's anyone's fault, it's my own." She
took a deep breath. "I've always pushed myself too hard to be the smartest I can
be, and it's worked. But I realized that my life was nothing but books and
knowledge. Thinking and rationalizing. I needed something different. Something
fun. Something that none of my friends ever expected."
"Certainly didn't expect this." Mako reached over and gently pulled the leather
jacket off of Ami's back, a light blue tank top underneath, then reached up and
pushed back her spiked hair. "Would you like some help to have fun? Without
doing all of this?"
Ami hung her head slightly. "Would you? Please?"
"Of course I will." At that moment, the phone rang.
