After the 2 girls walked back into the kitchen the 4 cats trotted in. Dortia hopped up onto the table and sat down in front of Mel and spoke calmly to the Senshi. "As I'm sure you're all well aware of the fact that the 2 weeks Mel was in the hospital there were no yoma attacks. The reason for that is because Jessie and Crystal were heading them off before they reached the city. But now that the 3 Guardians are together once again there maybe more attacks."
Mel's features got cold and she dropped the spell that masked her accent. "Only one person I know tha uses tha types of yoma's we've been fighting is Rogue. She's been after me since I been on Jupiter."
Makoto looked at Mel and placed a hand on her shoulder. "But why is she after you?"
"Thaz easy angel. She wants Reyu's power. If it comes down ta 'aveing to fight 'er she's mine. I'm the only one trained in tha same form of weapons fighting as she is. Got it none of ya face 'er alone. If ya do you'll be looking at tha wrong side of tha flowers." Usagi went to say something but was cut off by Mel. "No buts Usagi-chan. I'll be damned if I'm gonna let any of ya be 'urt or worse ok. So jus ferget wha ever ya were thinkin."
Makoto frowned and spoke softly to Mel. "You don't have to fight alone you know."
Mel looked at Makoto her voice was gruff as she spoke. "Against Rogue I do. I don't want your guys' 'elp."
Makoto stood up and glared at Mel angrily before smacking her hard on her left cheek. "Come off it Mel. You're not alone anymore."
Mel stood up and glared angrily at Makoto. Masking her accent once again. "Not alone anymore? What the fuck does that mean huh? If you guys wanna die fine be my guest fight Rogue." Mel pushed the chair she was in backwards so hard it fell. Mel turned to leave and kitchen. She kicked the chair out of her way on her way out of the room. Mel walked out onto her balcony and lit a cigarette and sighed heavily. As Mel looked out at the lightly falling snow a tear rolled down her cheek.
FLASHBACK
A tall slender woman with long chestnut hair stood in the center of a throne room. Her deep emerald eyes shown with worry and fear as she looked at the woman before her. Before her stood a tall woman with long black hair that trailed behind her. Her ice purple eyes blazed with hate. "Where is she Eliana? Where is your daughter?"
Eliana looked at the woman. "I'll never tell you Rogue. You'll never control Reyu." At that she drew her sword and glared at Rogue.
"Have it your way Eliana. But before I kill you know this I WILL have Reyu's power."
Eliana scanned the room for a way out. The only door was behind Rogue. The room soon filled with sounds of clashing steal. With a mighty shove Rouge pushed Eliana to the ground. "Last chance where is your daughter?"
Eliana looked into Rogue's ice purple ice. "I'll never tell you where she is never." Eliana's pain filled scream filled the room as Rogue rammed her sword deep into Eliana's chest.
Pulling the sword from the lifeless queen Rogue wiped the blood from the blade. "I'll find you princess one day I will find you." Rogue's wicked laugh echoed off the stone walls.
END FLASHBACK
Mel sank into the arms that encircled her waist and continued to watch the snow fall. Mel felt soft lips on her neck and smiled softly. "Ai I'm sorry I smacked you I shouldn't have gotten mad at you. I know why you wanna fight Rouge. Shit if she killed my mother I would do the same thing. But promise me you'll be careful. I love you and I'm not ready to let you go yet ok."
Mel turned around in Makoto's arms and brushed the tears off Makoto's cheeks then kissed her softly. "Don't worry about hitting me angel. And I promise you I'll be careful. I love you too angel more then anything in the world and I'm never gonna leave you." Mel flicked her cigarette behind her over the railing and took Makoto's face in her hands and kissed her deeply.
Minako had walked into the front room on her way outside to talk to her two friends and see if everything was ok. When she looked out the door and saw them kissing she smiled. I'm happy for you Mako-chan. Minako turned around and walked back into the kitchen.
After Mel and Makoto walked back into the kitchen they finished up their meeting and everyone went home. Everyone except Makoto. After Mel closed the door she sighed heavily. "That was one hell of a morning huh angel." Mel turned around and saw Makoto looking at her with a slight smirk on her face. "Wha are ya cookin up in that lil 'ead of yours angel?"
Makoto's smirk got wider. "I'm still holding that thought you know." Makoto winked at Mel and walked over to her and wrapped her arms around her neck, she leaned in and kissed Mel deeply. When they broke for air Makoto slipped Mel's shirt off. Mel smiled and kissed Makoto deeply unbuttoning Makoto's shirt as they walked towards the bedroom. Leaving a trail of clothing behind them. By the time they reached Mel's bed Makoto was naked and Mel was in her bra and boxers. Mel lifted Makoto up onto the bed and supported herself with her left arm so all her weight wasn't on Makoto. Mel trailed soft kisses down Makoto's neck, nibbling ever so lightly now and then. Mel continued down Makoto's well toned body stopping sort of the anticipated spot. Before Makoto could complain Mel slipped two fingers into the anxious wet flesh keeping a slow pace probing deeper with each wave that passed through her young lover. Feeling the soft smooth muscles constrict around her fingers. When Mel felt the younger girl tremble she replaced her fingers with her tongue and used her experience on her lover to heighten her climax. Makoto couldn't hold back any longer she dug her nails deep into Mel's back and yelled her warrior's name. When Mel felt the muscles relax she kissed Makoto hotly on the lips capturing her whole mouth in a deep passionate kiss.
When they broke for air Makoto smiled softly and wrapped her arms around Mel and rolled her over so she was straddling Mel's waist. She looked down at her rainbow haired lover her chest heaving as she spoke breathlessly. "You cheat you know that. Well now it's your turn." Makoto smiled and winked at Mel her chest heaving as she slowly caught her breath. Mel smirked at Makoto her deep emerald eyes reflecting her emotions. Makoto leaned in and kissed Mel deeply searching the older girls mouth with her tongue before trailing it up along side Mel's and out of her mouth. Mel looked up at Makoto and smiled softly. Makoto then laid down and supported herself with her right arm. She placed gentle kisses down Mel's body. When she reached the rim of Mel's boxers she smirked and kissed back up Mel's well defined body and slowly slipped her hand in Mel's boxers and pet her softly. When Makoto reached Mel's dry lips she kissed them just as softly as she was touching her rainbow haired lover. Makoto moved the soft kisses to Mel's neck. After she did she slipped 2 fingers slowly inside her warrior. The soft kisses were mixed with gentle nibbles. It didn't take Makoto long to bring Mel to a climax. When she felt Mel's muscles relax Makoto kissed Mel hotly on the lips then laid her head on Mel's chest and closed her eyes and listened to the sound of Mel's heartbeat. Makoto nuzzled Mel's neck then kissed it softly. "So what do you wanna do today ai?"
Mel smiled. Breathlessly she spoke. "Wanna go out for dinner seeing how its 5:15 now."
Makoto looked at the clock on Mel's dresser and smiled. "Yea I guess. Let's go take a shower first though ok."
Mel blushed slightly then smiled dropping the spell to hide her accent. "Your tha boss princess."
Makoto smiled "That's right now come on lets go."
After their shower the two girls got dressed and went to a nice restaurant. When they got out of the car Makoto smiled and fixed Mel's tie and brushed the little bit of cat fur off her leather trench coat. Mel chuckled. "Oi, Oi am I presentable now princess."
Makoto smiled. "Yea I suppose you are."
Mel shook her head and hooked Makoto's arm with her's and they walked in to the restaurant. The hostess smiled shyly at Mel. Mel winked at her and smiled. "Hey there Sal how have you been?"
The young black haired girl blushed heavily. "I've been ok. Haven't seen you in a while guess I know why now." The young girl frowned and took the two to their table as they walked Mel spoke to the young girl.
"It's not like that Sally and you know it. I just started dating her. I've been busy girl. If it makes you feel any better I've missed you. And I finally finished that demo tape of yours if you wanna stop by and get it or I can bring it over to your place its up to you."
The girl seated them and looked at Mel and shook her head. "Damn you." She chuckled "you're such a horrible flirt. I'll be by to get it." Sally looked over at Makoto and smiled. "You better watch her she's a horrible flirt."
Makoto smiled. "I know she is. But thank you I will."
When the girls got back to Mel's they changed and decided to go for a walk. On the way back to Mel's building the girls heard whimpering coming from the alley next to Mel's building. Mel raised her left eyebrow and walked towards the alley. When she got there she saw a young girl of about 13 sitting down on the wet ground crying. Mel looked at the little girl and frowned. She knelt down in front of her and spoke softly. "Hey what's the matter kiddo?"
The chestnut haired girl looked up at Mel, her ice blue eyes wet with tears yet to be shed. "Why do you care huh? 50 other people walked by me tonight and didn't care why should you?"
Mel frowned. "Lets jus say I've been where you are right now."
"You have?"
"Yea I have. I was about your age too. I was alone on the streets 6 years so now do you wanna tell me what's wrong?"
"First tell me your name."
Mel smiled. "My names Mel, what's your?"
The girl smiled "Ivory."
"So Ivory what's wrong hmmm."
Ivory looked over at Makoto then back at Mel. "Who's she?"
Mel smiled. "That's Makoto. Now talk." Mel chuckled
Ivory smiled. "Ok, ok. I got home from school today and found my parents were gone. They left a note saying that they didn't want me anymore because I was different. Rest of my family felt the same way so I ran away." A tear rolled down Ivory's cheek and she threw herself into Mel's comforting arms. Mel's eyes got wide with shock but she held the thin girl till she finished crying. Makoto walked over and hugged the girl from behind.
After a while Ivory stopped crying and looked at the two girls and smiled. Mel took Ivory's hand and stood up pulling the young girl with her. "Come now you can't stay on the street. I have like 3 extra rooms. So you can take your pick of which one you want."
Ivory's eyes got wide. "You mean it? You'll let me live with you?"
Mel nodded. "Yea, I mean if you want to you can."
Ivory hugged Mel again and the 3 of them walked up to Mel's loft. Ivory's eyes got wide when they walked into the apartment. "Wow Mel this is all your stuff?"
"Some of it yea but most of it is Makoto's."
"Call me Mako-chan or just Mako please." Makoto smiled softly at the young girl.
Ivory smiled at the tall brunette. "Mako-chan it is then." Ivory blushed and rubbed her neck. "I don't mean to sound rude but I'm starving."
Mel chuckled. "The kitchen is right through there help yourself."
