Chapter 9: No More Tears

The girls sat in the café and talked for hours. Makoto sat arms folded across her chest looking at the 2 new Senshi, her features cold. "How did you guys meet Mel anyways?"

The blonde smiled softly. "Before she ever met you she was a Guardian Senshi. When Queen Europa came to Descillian in search of a guard for her daughter Mel's mother, Queen Eliana, put Super Nova back into a state of dormancy till she would be needed again. You were and are very lucky to have all 3 of Mel's forms guarding you. You are the only one other than her mother I can honesty say Mel truly loves."

Mel blushed heavily and stuttered. "J-J-Jessie s-stop talkin already."

The brunette chuckled. "What's the matter Mel? Don't want the other to know what a softy you really are? Just because you have that scar over your eye doesn't mean you're a bad ass. Did she tell you how she got that scar?"

"Crystal you wouldn't..."

"She was showing off on her palomino and the horse threw her into thorns. I'm sure if you ask her she'll tell you she was fighting with someone."

Mel sighed and hung her head. "Ya know your evil Crystal. Down right wicked. You guys have some nerve calling me 'demon-girl'. I need a cigarette." Mel stood up and walked outside.

Makoto watched Mel walk out and sighed softly and stood up and walked outside. "Mind if I bum one of those?" She asked wrapping her arms around Mel's waist and kissing her neck softly.

Mel smiled softly and handed the pack to Makoto along with her lighter. After the girl's finished their smoke they walked back into the café. Mel walked up behind Crystal and whispered something in her ear. Crystal blushed and looked at Mel. "You wouldn't." Mel just winked at Crystal.

"So Jess, Crys you guys got a place to stay?" Mel looked at her friends and smiled.

"Yes Mel we do. I'm sure you have enough company at your place anyways." Jessie smiled.

Haruka and Michiru eyed the two coldly. "Just how do we know we can trust you?" Haruka crossed her arms and looked at Jessie.

"You guys trust Mel don't you?" Jessie looked at her confused.

"No not entirely."

Makoto stood up with a pissed off look on her face. "Look if you have a problem with her you have a problem with me. Mel spent 2 fuckin weeks in a coma because she saved your ass Ten'ou-san or did you forget that part? I'm so sick of this shit. We fight on the same team yet you 3 act like your so much better than us. You all know my cell phone number call me when you get your head's out of your ass." Makoto walked away from the table "Come on Mel no use staying where you're not wanted."

Mel stood up and shook her head and said bye to everyone and followed Makoto out of the café. "Angel are you ok?" Mel put a hand on Makoto shoulder and looked at her sort of worried.

Makoto pulled away from Mel and spoke with clenched teeth. "I'm fine, so just leave me alone."

Mel spun Makoto around and looked into her bright emerald eyes. Her voice hurt. "Is that what you want Makoto? I mean if you don't want me around either I'll-"

Makoto cut her off with a deep passion filled kiss. "No ai it's not what I want. I want you; I want to be with you. I'm sorry I'm just pissed right now." Makoto leaned into Mel and rested her head on her shoulder as she wrapped her arms tightly around Mel's waist.

Mel wrapped her arms around Makoto and kissed the top of her head softly. "Its ok angel I know you're upset." Mel looked down at the younger girl and smiled softly. "After 3 days you're already sure you want me and wanna be with me huh?" Mel chuckled and held Makoto tighter. "Not that I'm complaining or anything."

Makoto tightened her grip on Mel and spoke softly. "I'm sure Mel." Makoto sighed slightly. "I've never been so sure of something in my life."

Mel smiled. "Let's go home angel." Makoto nodded and the two of them got in Mel's jeep and headed for Mel's place.

"Hey Mel can we stop at my place so I can feed my fish?"

"Sure angel. What kinda fish you got anyways?"

"3 tiger barbs and a rosy barb. I only have a 5 gallon tank."

Mel smiled. "Well you know if you ever decided to move into my place there's plenty of room in my 100 gallon tank. All I have in there is 3 Bala sharks, a Black fin shark and 2 black skirt tetra."

"I'll keep that in mind ai." Makoto chuckled and shook her head.

Mel pulled up in front of Makoto's building. "Here we are."

Makoto smiled. "Well are you coming or no?"

Mel turned her car off and followed Makoto to her apartment. As soon as Makoto opened the door Mel took her in her arms and kissed her as they walked backwards into the apartment. Mel kicked the door closed as they neared the couch. The back of Makoto's knees hit the arm of her couch and Mel lifted Makoto up and set her down on the soft couch positioning herself over her supporting herself with her left arm so her full weight wasn't on Makoto. Mel kissed down the younger girl's neck and used her teeth to unzip the leather bomber jacket Makoto was wearing. Just as Mel started to unbutton the green suede shirt Makoto had on there was a knock on the door. Mel chuckled "Never fails."

Makoto groaned and reluctantly asked Mel to get off of her. Mel chuckled but did as she was told. Makoto sighed and opened her door annoyed. "What- Mina-chan gomen ne please come in."

Minako walked into the apartment and saw Mel sitting on the couch and smiled softly at her. "I just came by to see if you were ok Mako-chan. After what was said at the café you had us worried. I won't speak for the outers but you defiantly had the rest of us worried." Minako looked at Mel. "Mel-chan Jessie and Crystal are on their way to your place so you know."

"Thanks Mina-chan." Mel called Crystal's cell and told her where she was and to wait at her place for her.

Mel and Makoto walked into Mel's loft and saw Crystal and Jessie sitting on her sofa. "Please make yourselves at home." Mel chuckled.

Crystal smiled. "I like your place Mel. Though it's not as messy as I expected."

"Oi ya know wha..." Mel chuckled. "Kiss my ass ok missy."

"OOOOOOH must have hit a sore spot she's using her accent better watch it Crystal." Jessie laughed at look Crystal gave her.

Mel rolled her eyes and flipped her two friends off. Then wrapped an arm around Makoto's waist and whispered something in her ear. She kissed Makoto's neck softly then took a few steps back and winked at her. The blush slowly creeping up on Makoto's face. Mel smiled and let go of the younger girl. "Anyone want anything to drink?"

"What do you have Romeo?"

"Damn don't call me that Crystal." Mel chuckled but blushed at the memory of the first time she was called that. "Booze, soda and water. So what'll ya have?"

"A water for me Mel." Jessie said standing up and following her friend into the kitchen.

Crystal followed the others into the kitchen and sat at the table next to Jessie and across from Makoto. "I'll have water to Mel."

Mel looked at Makoto. "What about you angel?"

Makoto smiled and held up a can of Dr. Pepper. "I'm set ai but thanks."

Mel smiled. "2 waters coming up then." Mel walked to her bar and pulled 2 bottles of water from the mini fridge and walked back into the kitchen. When she got there Makoto, Crystal and Jessie were all laughing. "Ok what I miss?" Mel smiled as she handed her friends their water.

Makoto took her legs off the chair next to her so Mel could sit down. "I didn't believe your horse threw you but after they told me the whole story." Makoto smiled at the pouty look on Mel's face. She put her right hand on Mel's left cheek and ran her thumb across the part of the scar that was on her cheek. "Its ok ai, I still love ya. Don't worry I won't tease you anymore."

Mel looked at Makoto and smiled. Her gaze then fell on Crystal. "Don't make me tell um about your 16th b-day party Crys."

"Please don't Mel I'll quit teasing you about your horse. Tomorrow when we see the others I'll tell um I was kidding about the whole thing. Jus please don't tell that." Crystal looked at Mel and made a pouty face. "Ok, ok I won't tell. Though Mako-chan is the only one who doesn't know." Mel smiled at Crystal.

"Well I'm sure you'll tell her AFTER I leave. So have the yoma's been showing up a lot lately?"

Dortia jumped from the counter and sat in the middle of the table. "Just as I thought. You're our missing Senshi." Dortia looked at Crystal. "Where is Odin? I'm sure he's found you by now."

Crystal looked at the black cat sitting on the table. "Yea he did. He's at our place."

Makoto got a confused look on her face. "You mean you too are..."

Jessie's eyes got wide. "No, no it's not like that between us. Mel is the only lesbian on our team."

"You make that sound like it's a bad thing Crys." Mel made a pouty face. "I'm hurt."

"Knock it off you two this is important. There have been 4 yoma attacks in the last 3 days. The last 3 had 4 yoma's in them."

Mel looked at her cat. "You mean while I was down fer the count those 2 weeks everything was quiet?"

Makoto looked at Mel. Her voice and expression showed her confusion. "Yea come to think of it, it was." Makoto looked at the cat. "Why did they not attack those two weeks?"

Dortia looked just as confused as Makoto. "I don't know I'll need to talk to Odin about it. Bring him here tomorrow ok we're going to have an urgent scout meeting tomorrow morning. Mel will have breakfast cooked by the time everyone gets here at 8 am."

"We'll bring him Dortia. 8 am got it. We better get home if we hope to have Jessie up that early. See you tomorrow." Jessie and Crystal nodded and left.

Makoto pulled out her communicator and called every one and let them know. She told Usagi to inform the outers. Mel looked at Dortia and sighed. "8 am great I'll need to be up by 6:30 to get that much food cooked."

"Come off it you have Makoto she can help you cook." Dortia glared at Mel.
"I'm not gonna wake her up to cook. She can get up at 7:30 and do what she's gotta do then." Mel glared at her cat. "They gotta be after me that's why they didn't attack those 2 weeks." Mel looked at Makoto and frowned. "Maybe you should stay away from me till we get to the bottom of this angel."

Makoto's eyes got wide. "Hell no Mel I'm staying right here. If what you say is true I'm gonna stay with you." Makoto looked over at Mel and leaned forward taking Mel's face in her hands. "I just got you back. I'll be damned if I'm gonna lose you Mel." Makoto kissed Mel softly. "I love you and will do whatever it takes to protect you." Makoto leaned in and kissed Mel deeply.

Mel kissed her back at first then reluctantly broke the kiss. Mel stood up pulling Makoto up with her. "I love you too angel that's why I think you should stay away."

"Never Mel. I'll never stay away. I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to you because I wasn't there to help you."

Mel smiled softly and kissed Makoto softly. "Have it your way angel. You always were stubborn."

Makoto chuckled. "You of all people should know I always get what I want."

Mel shook her head and smiled. "What do you say we go watch a movie?"

Makoto smiled. "Only if you pick it."

Mel nodded and the two walked into the front room. Mel put music on while she looked through her movies.

Together Midnight in summer The air's so much warmer Falling in love under starlight Holding on so tight Together

I won't leave you lonely tonight I want you to hold me all night It's gonna be all right I won't leave you lonely tonight

Mel grabbed the movie Gone In 60 Seconds and winked at Makoto. Mel put the movie in and turned the lights off. Makoto wrapped her arms tightly around Mel's waist and snuggled close and rested her head on Mel's shoulder. When the movie got to the part where Randel and Sway are in the corvette 'talking' Mel pulled Makoto into her lap and smiled before capturing the younger girl's mouth in a deep playful kiss. Searching Makoto's mouth with her tongue. Mel cut the kiss short dragging her tongue up along Makoto's and out of her mouth. Mel wrapped her arms tightly around Makoto's toned waist and stood up and turned around and laid Makoto down on the soft leather sofa positioning herself over her. She traced soft kisses down Makoto's neck unbuttoning the green suede shirt Makoto was in. As she did she kissed the newly exposed skin softly. After she got it unbuttoned Mel pushed the sides of the shirt out of the way and unbuttoned and unzipped Makoto's jeans. Makoto whimpered softly into the kiss as Mel slid her hand down her well defined body and into her now open jeans and began to pet her through her silk panties. With her free hand Mel undid the front clasp of Makoto's bra. Mel lazily circled Makoto's nipple before taking the soft flesh into her mouth. Mel lulled her tongue over the taunt nipple causing it to harden more. As Mel kissed back up Makoto's toned body the younger girl moaned softly and undid the button on Mel's jeans and slid her hands under Mel's shirt and dragged her nails along Mel's back. She then pulled the shirt up over Mel's head. Mel chuckled and stopped what she was doing only long enough to sit up and remove her shirt.

Imagine The air filled with jasmine The breeze blows with passion You and me dance with desire The moon is on fire

Imagine

Je t'aime beaucoup, mon amour You are the one I adore

I won't leave you lonely tonight I want you to hold me all night It's gonna be all right No, you won't be lonely tonight

Mel took her shirt off and smiled down at Makoto. Mel then repositioned herself over Makoto and began to softly pet the younger girl and captured her mouth once again in a deep playful kiss. Mel traced down Makoto's neck with her tongue flicking her pulse spot and continuing down tailing soft kisses down the younger girls toned body. Makoto moaned softly when Mel stopped short of the anticipated destination. "You...always...were...a...tease..."

Mel looked up at Makoto and smirked. "Who says I'm teasing?" Mel grabbed the waist of Makoto's jeans and pulled them down. Falling off the sofa in the process. Mel sat up on the floor and smiled softly. She then pulled Makoto down to the floor removing Makoto's shirt and bra then she repositioned herself over Makoto and with her left leg she parted the slender legs of her lover and slipped her hand inside Makoto's silk panties and pet her softly to get her finger damp before removing them an her panties.

How tight can you hold me?
How long can we stay awake?
How hard can we laugh?
How much love can we make?

Mel then slipped 2 fingers into the eager moist flesh keeping a slow steady pace. Probing deeper with each arch of Makoto's back. Makoto drug her nails down Mel's back with each wave that passed through her. Mel captured Makoto's mouth in a deep kiss to silence her cries. Makoto broke the kiss and looked at her rainbow haired lover breathlessly, and smiled softly. Mel winked at the trembling girl and trailed soft kisses and nibbles down the well toned body of her young lover usurping her fingers with her tongue. Makoto gasped loudly and dug her nails into Mel's back. She arched her back with every entry of Mel's tongue allowing her to go deeper. Mel decided to really tease Makoto and she began to use her tongue ring along with the sliest bit of magick. Makoto climaxed and called her lovers name. Mel replaced her tongue with her fingers once again and kissed Makoto to silence her fevered cries. Makoto could taste herself in Mel's kiss and she dug her nails deeper into Mel's back. Makoto reluctantly broke the kiss and when Mel caused a new set of waves she bit down on Mel's shoulder to silence her cries. After Mel felt Makoto come down from her climax she removed her fingers slowly and kissed her young lover softly. Mel then sat up and smiled down at Makoto. Mel then licked her fingers clean and then grabbed the blanket off the back of the sofa and then cuddled up next to Makoto with her back against the sofa. Mel wrapped her arms around Makoto and whispered in her ear. "I love you Makoto Elizabeth Kino." Mel smirked and nuzzled her lover's ear.

I wanna be the one you tell your secrets to All I want is to be closer Closer to you

Makoto snuggled close to Mel and smiled. "I...love you...too... Melanie Jayne Chase." Makoto chuckled as she let her heart fill with the warmth of the moment and snuggled up closer to Mel and she quickly fell asleep in her lover's strong arms.

Mel smiled. "No more tears for either of us angel." Mel closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
