Chapter 4
The sun sneaked though the shades of one of the bedrooms of apartment 569. The young woman on the bed turned away from the window pulling the covers over her head. She'd just woken from the same dream she'd been having of the past couple days, where the plane with her parents crashed leaving her alone and then she'd see the first person who had befriended her taken away from her.
She sighed, 'Even now I still remember him. I wonder how he's doing.' She remained in her bed that was until …
"MAKOTO-CHAN!" her roommates voice rung loudly in her ears. Makoto groaned she didn't want to get up just yet. 'Go away Mina.' She thought to herself glaring at the door from under her covers.
The woman to the other side knocked louder on the door, "Mako-chan, come on. You promised that we could go out and check out the city today. You promised! Remember we still need to look for jobs!"
Makoto growled, Mina did have a point. " Ok, Mina-chan I'm getting up." Makoto threw the covers off of her and stood up walking into bathroom that connected her room to Mina's.
Makoto brushed her teeth and took a shower. She stepped out of the shower and grabbed her green towel wrapping it around her tall frame.
She walked back into her room and towards her dresser. She put her underwear and bra on then walked to her closet, grabbing a pair of dark blue jeans and a forest green tang top. After getting dressed she walked to her mirror and pulled her brown hair into a high ponytail. She walked out of her room and into the kitchen to see her blonde haired best friend eating cereal.
Makoto sighed in relief glad to find that the kitchen was not burnt down to a crisp. She smiled at Minako and poured herself a cup of orange juice before taking a seat across from the beautiful blonde. "Aren't you going to eat something Mako-chan?" Mina asked. Makoto shook her head. "I'm not hungry right now. I'll get something later."
Minako shrugged and finished the rest of her breakfast. "We need to get some more food so that we won't only have cereal!" Mina complained as she put her bowl in the kitchen sink.
"We'll get some things at the store while we're out." Makoto replied as she put her shoes on.
"Do you think that there's an arcade in the city?" Makoto sighed but couldn't help but smile at her friend love of video games.
"Of course all cities do. Now let's go." Makoto grabbed Mina's arm and pulled her out the door. "Geez Mako-chan you don't have to tug so hard." Mina cried once they were outside of their apartment building.
Makoto smiled at her blonde friend as she let go of her arm. "I'm glad we decided to come her Mina-chan. This city is beautiful." Mina giggled softly, "Yeah, although I'm gonna miss the orphanage and the gang."
"Yeah." Makoto replied softly.
"Come on Mako-chan. Think of all the hot guys well meet here!" Mina cried happily as she glanced around the street at all the men that were walking in and out of the buildings.
Makoto smiled and started walking away leaving her friend behind. "HEY MAKO-CHAN YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME HERE!" Mina exclaim chasing after her. Makoto laughed as she ran with the shorter teen chasing after her. The girls continued their little chase gaining many stares from the many people on the streets.
"MAKO, LOOK OUT!" Mina warned. Makoto looked over her shoulder but was to late as she collided with a strong object.
"OOF." The sound escaped her mouth as she heard a grunt from the thing she collided with. "You better say sorry shrimp." Makoto looked up to be staring up into the face a rather angry looking man. The man was 6 foot 3 inches, with greasy black hair and a very dark complection. Any one could tell that this guy was in a gang.
Minako ran up to her friend and helped her up. She gave Makoto a look that clearly said 'Don't do anything rash just say sorry and we'll leave.'
Makoto glared at the man's rudeness and said sorry half-heartedly. She then tried to walk around him only to have on of the men with him stood in her way. The man roughly grabbed her arm and pulled her back in front of him.
"I don't think you meant that." He said as spit lift his mouth causing Makoto to become disgusted. "Let me go, before I have to hurt you." She said though closed teeth. "Makoto!" Mina exclaimed.
The three men laughed, "Hahaha you here that men this little wench thinks that she can take me out. We'll see about that." Makoto wrenched her arm out of his grip. "I told you to let me go."
The man smirked and jumped at her his fist pulled back. She jumped out of the way dodging his attack. She ran at him throwing a punch connecting with his jaw. His head reeled back and then forward. He grunted and kicked her in the stomach. She leaned over holding her stomach.
"MAKO!" Mina runs towards her friend only to be grabbed by one of the other men. She pulled his arm off of her and flipped him over onto his back. 'Thank God for Makoto's training.' She ran forward and grabbed her friend.
"Leave them only bastard. That's no way to treat a lady." A deep voice said from behind them. "Say out of this tough guy this bitch asked for it."
"Get away from them before a call the cops!" the new man yelled. The gang growled, the boss looked down at Makoto and said, "This isn't over." He then turned and summoned the others before they ran down the street.
Minako pulled Makoto to her feet. "Are you guys alright?" he asked walking over to them. Mina nodded, "Yeah, we're fine thank you sir." Makoto looked up at their rescuer. He was a young man who was no older then 21 with short black hair. He had deep blue eyes and wore a black tuxedo. "Yeah thanks." She bowed and walked away quickly pulling Minako along with her.
"Oh he was so kawaii. Don't you think Mako-chan?" Mina squealed in delight apparently already forgetting what had happened moments ago. "Hai he was alright."
After that incident the girls avoided trouble the rest of the day. They had explored the city and found many stores to their liking. "Hehehe I really like this place Mako-chan."
"Yeah it's pretty cool minus those bastards that attacked us." Minako nodded, "Yeah I don't see why they just couldn't be nice like that man." Makoto shrugged, "Not everyone is the same Mina-chan."
"I know that. Oh look an arcade." Mina exclaimed happily pulling Makoto into the direction of the Crown Arcade.
"Yay!" Mina opened the door and tugged Makoto in with here. "This is great now I wont' be all that bored here. And look their hiring here Mako-chan!" Mina finally let go of her friend and rushed over to play the newest Sailor V game.
"Hi I'm Motoki, I run this place. Your new here right." Makoto looked up to see and handsome young man with blonde hair and blue eyes. "Hai, my friend and I just moved here we're just exploring the city."
Motoki smiled, "You'll like it here. This is a great city. By the way what's your name?" "I'm Makoto and my friend over there." She pointed to her longhaired friend, "is Minako."
"A pleasure to meet you Makoto. If you need anything don't both to ask." He smiled once more before he went back to the counter to take the order of a teenage couple.
Makoto walked over to her friend. "Having friend Mina-chan?" she asked. "Yeah this place is awesome."
Makoto laughed, "You just missed out on meeting this really hot guy." Mina's face dropped as she died on the game. "WHAT! And you didn't get me? Where is he is he still here?"
Makoto couldn't help but laugh as her friend looked around the arcade. "Yeah he works here. Come on." She pulled Minako to the counter. "Hey Motoki-kun, this is Minako my best friend!" Motoki turned around and smiled at the beautiful blonde haired girl.
"Hello." "Hi, you can call me Mina-chan. All my friends do and I'm sure we'll become good friends." She smiled. The boy to the arcade opened as the little bell went off. "Oh good. I'd like to introduce you girls to someone."
The person walked up behind them, "Hey Motoki what's up?" The girls looked at each other they new that voice. "You!" they exclaimed together as they looked up at the man. The guy sweat dropped and looked down at the girls. "Oh hello, I'm glad to see you girls are ok."
"Yes and thanks again." Mina said smiling. "Oh so you guys meet already." Motoki asked.
"No actually we never got introduced. This man just helped us out of jam earlier today."
"I see well girls I'd like to introduce you to Mamoru Chiba my best friend." The girl's mouths practically dropped to the floor. "M…M…Mamoru Chiba?" Makoto repeated slowly.
