Of Blue Water and Green Lightening

By WaMat DeBly

An. Welcome to another installment of my fanfiction... I know it's been a while since I've updated, but as of late, it's been too damn cold for me to bike out to the library, ; sorry for the inconvence... anyway there are a couple of things I'd like to let you know.

1 I don't plan on killing anyone else off, I've always had a dislike for Darien, so it came out in the fic, ask me, the bastard deserved to die, his love for Usagi felt fake to me, honestly Rei-chan or Minako's love is more real for her then tux boy's. 2) for those holding out for the love scene, you're going to have to hold out for a while longer, but I promise you that the wait will be well worth it... now to Amiko-chan, something told me you were a lady, call it a feeling I guess... anyway thanks for your support and on with the fic.

Ch:7 Losses and friends

Ami: After having seen what we had, we decided to have a meeting at the shirne. I arrived early, supprised to see Usagi was already here, I walked slowly towards her, "You holding up ok?" I asked softly, noting that she was shaking her head no. I took her softly into my arms, her tears beginning to soak through my shirt bout I didn't mind so much, "He's gone Ami, how can he be gone just like that?" Sobs racked her small form as I held my princess, my own eyes tearing up a bit, "He fought to save your life." I said nodding a bit, I never really liked Darien that much, but I knew he'd never let anything happen to Usagi, that's how I decided to remember him, as the protector of our princess. A thunderclap issued from the clouds and the first drops of rain begun to fall from the sky, I gave Usagi a weak smile, "Lets get inside, before we get soaked." I lead the poor girl inside, my thoughts turning to my own love, Makoto.

Makoto: I opened the umbrella as I walked, listening to the rain patter agenst the nylon membrain that kept me dry, most of the evidence of the battle had been cleaned up by the police, whatever remained would be washed away in the rain. Thinking about that caused me to tear up a little, our princess didn't deserve to be left alone like that, but perhapse fate had slightly different plan's than we had thought. My mind drifted to the man I'd spoken to at the battle, he hadn't given me a name, but for some reason I recognized him from somewhere...I shook his image from my mind, not really wanting to think about him, for some reason his face gave me the creeps. As I walked up the stairs leading to the shrine I allowed myself a thin smile, Ami would be here by now, I knew that, so at least one thing was looking up.

Ami: As I walked Usagi inside, I passed Minako, who immedagely moved to usagi, I watched as both blond's carefully, over the years, I'd watched how close they had both become to one another, almost as close as Makoto and I, though Darien had blocked any relationship possibility for them... I gave Usagi a soft pat on the back as I headed outside once more, almost running headlong into Makoto.

Makoto: I closed the umbrella and shook the water from it, glancing down the hall to see Usagi and Minako, I looked into Ami's eyes, "Usa-chan alright?" I asked, Ami gave me a little nod, "She'll be fine." She glanced at the other two girls, who'd just been joined by Rei, "She just needs us all to get through this, how are you holding up Mako-chan?" I gave somewhat of a fake smile, "I'll be fine, I just want to know who the hell that guy was, he looked so fimilar." Ami nodded before pulling me into a soft hug, I laid my face into her hair, enjoying the warmth she was providing. "Ame's nothing will be the same now, will it?" she backed away from me just a little bit, so I could see her face, she then said something I never thought I'd hear from her mouth, "No it won't, everything changes now."
