In the middle of the night Mel's cell phone rang. When she answered it a very excited Crystal told her Rogue had shown up in the center of town looking for her. Mel hung her phone up and woke Makoto up and told her what was going on. The two of them got dressed and ran down to Mel's garage. Mel looked at her cars and her eyes fell on her 1967 Shelby GT 500 Cobra. The two hopped in and Mel pealed out of the garage and sped off towards the center of town. When they got there they saw the others fighting a snake like yoma as Rogue hovered above it. Mel clenched her fists and her and Makoto got out of the car and as they ran towards the fight they transformed. Super Nova looked at Jupiter "Ya go 'elp them I'll take care of Rogue."
"No Mel let me help you. The others can take care of it. I mean they have the Outers, Meteor, Universe, and Trinity so let me fight at your side please."
"After that yoma is dead then ya can come 'elp me ok angel now go." Super Nova kissed Jupiter softly and black wings sprung from her back as she drew her sword. Super Nova ran towards Rogue and flew up to meet her in the air. As they fought the other Senshi took care of the yoma. After about a half hour of fighting in the air Super Nova and Rogue both landed bloody and tired. Ahriman ran to Super Nova's side and snarled at Rogue. Before the panther could react Rogue sent a black pulse ball flying at the panther sending her flying backwards. "AHRIMAN!" Super Nova looked at Rogue her deep emerald eyes burning into Rogue's ice purple ones. At the same time the two ran at each other. Their swords set off sparks when they clashed. After a few minutes Super Nova out muscled Rogue and with a mighty shove she pushed her down. Super Nova placed the tip of her sword under Rouge's chin. "Isn't this a familiar sight? Should I kill ya the same way ya killed my mother or should I make ya suffer first."
Rogue smiled wickedly and before Super Nova could react Rogue brought her right arm up and drove her sword deep into Super Nova's stomach. Jupiter's eyes got wide as she screamed out her warrior's name "MEL NO!" Jupiter whistled and Blaze appeared and dropped Super Nova's spare sword down to Jupiter. Jupiter caught the sword and spun it around in her hand then glared at Rogue. "Now you bitch you answer to me." Jupiter's features were cold and looked as if they were carved from stone.
Rogue smiled again and slowly stood up. "So you think you stand a chance against me do you. Fine let's see if she was a better teacher then she was a fighter." Rogue charged at Jupiter. Jupiter's sword clashed with Rogue's and sparks flew again. Jupiter dug the toe of her boots into the ground and pushed back with just as much force as Rogue was pushing with. The two soon pulled away from each other. As they did Rogue cut Jupiter's arm. Jupiter never took her eyes off of Rogue. As Jupiter and Rogue continued to fight Super Nova sat on the ground with her left arm across her wound and she was hunched over slightly watching the battle. Rogue and Jupiter's sword clashed again sending sparks flying. Only this time Rogue out muscled Jupiter and sent her to the ground hard. With an evil smile she buried her sword deep in Jupiter's stomach. Jupiter looked up at Rogue and coughed. When she did blood came from her mouth. Jupiter coughed again and laid her head down on the ground. Rogue took her foot and turned Jupiter's face towards Super Nova. "Looks like I've taken another person away from you. That makes what three now." Rogue laughed evilly.
Super Nova looked at Jupiter's face. Blood still trickling from her mouth. With what strength Jupiter had left she winked at Super Nova. "Angel." Super Nova whispered softly. With what strength Super Nova had left she stood up. Her eye's glowing red. A dragon like growl came from deep in her throat and a red light surrounded her.
Ahriman's eyes got wide. "I don't believe it." She turned her attention to the others. "Get back all of you. She's beyond pissed. Her rage has taken her over. You DON'T want to be here. Her rage form is uncontrollable. The rage form is the demon she holds with in her."
Sailor Moon looked at the panther. "I thought that was Reyu?"
"Reyu is the goddess form of the demon Enyo."
"Who's Enyo?" Mars looked at Ahriman.
"You're about to find out."
Super Nova's fuku tore away. Instead of having tanned skin her skin was red. Her head took on a dragon like shape. The muscles all over her body were flexed. On her arms at the elbows black tape was wrapped down to the tops of its hands. The demon's fingers were long and claw-like. Strapped to the demons legs and chest was silver armor. A thin dragon like tail sprung from its back. At the end was a razor shard diamond. Enyo spread her wings and let out a dragon like roar. She picked up Super Nova's sword and looked at Rogue with red glowing eyes.
Rogue's eyes got wide as she looked at the demon standing before her. Enyo spoke in a language unknown to everyone but Ahriman. "Demon Fury." The ground started to shake and split around Enyo and Rogue. Before she could react Enyo charged at her and buried Super Nova's sword so deep in Rogue's chest the tip of the blade was sticking out of her back. Enyo removed the sword and looked at the group of Senshi. Super Nova's blood covered sword still clenched in her fists. She growled softly then looked at Jupiter lying motionless on the ground. Enyo walked over to her slowly and fell to one knee and held her hand over Jupiter's wound. Ahriman knew what was happing and went running towards the demon. Enyo looked at her and just as she went to lunge at the demon she hit a red force field and went flying back. Ahriman shook her head. "Damn you Enyo don't do it. Don't you heal her. Don't you tarnish her pure soul with you evil."
Enyo spoke to the panther "Her soul was tarnished the night she first made love to Melanie." The demon then looked back at Jupiter then up at Ahriman. "You rather I left her to die?"
Ahriman hung her head. "No."
"Very well then I will heal her." Enyo then turned her attention back to Jupiter. A red light surrounded Jupiter. All the other's heard was Jupiter yell out in pain.
"What is that demon doing to her Ahriman?" Venus glared at the panther.
Ahriman hung her head. "Healing her. She's using her life force to heal her."
Mars's eyes got wide. You mean she's making her a demon?"
Ahriman looked at the raven haired girl. "No Mars she's not making her a demon. She will still be human. She'll just have demon's blood running through her veins."
Sailor Moon looked at the demon cat. "She'll be different though right."
"No Sailor Moon she'll be the same Makoto she was before Enyo healed her. She maybe a lot stronger but that's it."
Mars spoke again. "Why will she have demon's blood flowing through her veins?"
"I hoped none of you would ask me that." Ahriman sighed. "The healing process would kill her so Enyo cuts her arm and has her drink her blood. That pain filled yell you heard was the demon's blood taking over her body. After that happens Enyo will heal the wound."
Venus's eyes got wide. "How the hell does she heal the wound?"
"That I don't know Venus I'm sorry. But I swear to you she will be the same as she was before all this. Please trust me."
The light around Jupiter disappeared and Jupiter was still lying on the ground. Enyo stood up and turned away from the group of Senshi and started to walk away.
"Your not going anywhere you demon. Venus love me chain entrap." A gold chain of hearts wrapped around the demon. Once it was wrapped around Enyo Venus tugged as hard as she could pulling the demon to the ground. "We'll take them both back to Mel's. Rei's temple is too busy this time of year to leave Mako-chan there. And the only person who lives in Mel's building is Mel so it'll be easy to get a demon into her loft. Let's get out of here."
Ahriman gently picked Jupiter up in her mouth. Blaze landed near by and reverted to human form. "Venus you take Enyo and go with Ahriman. I'll take Mel's car and whoever cares to go to Mel's and we'll meet you there ok."
"Right. See you there." Venus and Enyo got on Ahriman back and the four of them flew off towards Mel's.
When they got to Mel's Venus chained Enyo to the giant marble dragon Mel had by her balcony door. Ahriman took Jupiter and laid her down in Mel's bed and covered her up. Ahriman sighed and reverted into her human form and walked into the kitchen. Where she saw Minako sitting at the table with her head down. "It'll be ok Minako. Makoto should wake up in a few days. 3 days max she'll be out."
Minako looked up and saw a woman standing there. "I hope your right."
"She'll be fine I promise."
Blaze and all the inner Senshi walked into Mel's loft and saw Enyo chained to the statue sitting on the floor hunched over. They all walked into the kitchen and saw Minako and Ahriman talking. "How are they?" Blaze asked as he looked at Ahriman.
"They're both comatose. We really only need to leave Enyo tied up till she transforms into Reyu. Because once she changes into Reyu she's no longer dangerous."
Three days passed quickly. By midnight of the 3rd day Makoto opened her eyes slowly and saw she was in Mel's room. She looked next to her and saw the bed was empty. Minako slept peacefully in a chair next to the bed. Makoto quietly got out of bed and walked into the front room. She placed her right hand on the back of her neck and looked at all her friends sprawled out all over the front room in sleeping bags and wrapped in blankets. Her eyes scanned the room and fell on the marble dragon by Mel's balcony door. Mel sat there hunched over chained to it. Makoto sighed heavily as she stepped around Ahriman and unchained Mel. Makoto ran the backs of her fingers down Mel's left cheek and smiled softly as her lover's eyes opened slowly. When Mel saw Makoto in front of her she threw herself into her arms. "Angel you're ok."
Makoto wrapped her arms around Mel. "Thanks to you I am."
Mel pulled Makoto down next to her on the floor and held her. That's how everyone found them in the morning. Mel was leaned up against the dragon and Makoto had her head rested on Mel's shoulder. Mel had her arm wrapped around Makoto's waist. Minako smiled softly and grabbed the blanket off Mel's sofa and covered her friends. The weight of the blanket woke Mel up. She opened her eyes slowly and looked at Minako. Mel stretched the best she could sitting down and without waking Makoto. "Mmmm morning Minako-chan." Mel said groggily
Minako smiled softly. "Morning Mel-chan. How do you feel?"
Mel cracked her neck. "Sore Mina-chan very sore." Mel chuckled slightly.
Makoto opened one eye and looked at Mel and Minako then stretched hitting Mel playfully in the face with her hand. "Oh gomen ne Mel didn't hear you sitting there. I mean see." Makoto giggled slightly.
Mel shook her head while Minako smiled. "So Mako-chan how do you feel?" Minako's blue/gray eyes shown with concern.
"I feel fine Mina-chan. My stomach kinda hurts where the wound is but other than that I feel fine." Mel cracked her neck again. "Mel on the other hand..." Makoto trailed off and chuckled.
"Oi leave me alone I'm sore as all 'ell. Not ta mention stiff. Ya got ta sleep in a nice comfy bed. Me on tha other 'and 'ad to sleep chained ta this damn statue." Mel got a pouty look on her face and looked at the two girls next to her.
"Aw poor baby." Makoto said teasingly
Mel stuck her tongue out at Makoto and stood up. "I don't know bout you guys but I'm starving." Mel nudged Ahriman with her foot as she walked to the kitchen. The panther yawned and as she stretched she spread her wings. She then folded them back behind her and followed Mel into the kitchen.
The other's followed suite and when they got in the kitchen Minako sat down at the table as Makoto and Mel cooked breakfast. "You really do love her don't you Mako-chan?"
Makoto looked at Minako her mouth slightly open. She blinked a few times then spoke softly. "W-wh-what made you ask that question Mina-chan?"
Minako smiled softly at her friend. "Because both times we had Mel chained up and left for the night we came back in the morning to find you cuddled up next to her asleep and she would be unchained."
Makoto walked over to the table and sat down across from Minako. Makoto looked at the younger girl and smiled softly. "Hai Mina-chan I do. Wouldn't give her up for the world. But what about you Mina-chan? How are things with Scot?"
Minako smiled softly. "They're fine. Now no more changing the subject I'm only one aloud to pry right now ok." Minako giggled. "Sides I wanna be the only one to know the details 'tween you and Mel-chan." Minako smiled wickedly and blushed heavily.
Makoto smirked and leaned in and spoke low in Minako's ear. "What you really mean is you wanna know if she's good in bed or not right." Makoto sat back up and winked at Minako whose face was beet red.
"H-hai Mako-chan." She stammered
Makoto smiled. "Hai Mina-chan she is. She's very, VERY good." Makoto winked at her now crimson faced friend. "What Mina-chan you wanted to know." Makoto chuckled.
Mel walked up behind Makoto and put her face next to hers. "And to think I thought you didn't kiss and tell. Tisk, tisk angel now I have to punish you." Mel winked slyly at Makoto and blew Minako a kiss.
Makoto looked at Mel out of the corner of her eye and raised her left eyebrow. "Punish me? Now where in the hell..." Makoto trailed off. "You wouldn't dare use any of those would you?"
Mel smirked and winked, and spoke in an innocent tone. "Whatever do you mean angel? You couldn't possibly be talking bout my cat of 9 tails or my hand cuffs could you?"
"Yea that's exactly what I'm talking about."
Mel stood up and shook her head. "You'll just have to wait and see angel. I'm gonna go have a cigarette before we wake everyone and eat ok." Mel kissed Makoto on the cheek and winked at Minako and as she walked past her she mussed the young blonde's hair.
Minako made a pouty face and huffed. "You're soooo lucky I haven't done my hair yet Mel-chan."
"Oh I'm shakin' now Mina-chan." Mel chuckled and walked out onto her balcony and pulled her pack of cigarettes from her back pocket and removed one. Mel sighed heavily before lighting it.
Makoto and Minako walked out into the front room to wake the others up when there came a knock at the door. Makoto groaned slightly and went to answer the door. When she opened the door she saw the Outer Senshi standing there. "What are you guys doing here?"
Trinity smiled. "We came to see how you guys were doing. You seem fine where's Mel?"
Makoto opened the door all the way and motioned for them to come in. "She's out on the balcony."
"Arigotu." Trinity walked out onto the balcony and saw Mel smoking. "I thought you quit that filthy habit."
"I did about four times. But its only thing that keeps my nerves in check. So missy what do I owe the honor of this visit."
"You really are a dolt you know that. I look at you like a daughter Mel. I was worried about you. I've never seen you lose control of your power like that."
Mel took the last drag from her cigarette and looked at her ice blue eyed friend. "You shouldn't worry about me so much. You'll be gray by 40. After Makoto winked at me I honestly thought she was dead ok. After seeing her wink at me I don't remember anything else. Next thing I remember is waking up chained to my dragon statue." Mel ran her hand through her hair and looked at the older woman before her.
"I see you finally found Ivory. I'm glad train her well."
"You knew about Ivory?"
"I am a guardian of time you know. You found her about a year early too. Well since Rogue is gone I must go back to my gate. Take care of yourself and those you love." Trinity hugged Mel and then smiled down at her. "I'll see you again soon young one." At that Trinity disappeared.
Two weeks past and the girls were standing in the lobby of a nice hotel in Milan. Mel was speaking to the clerk in Italian. "Yes 6 rooms. The best rooms you offer. We'll need them about 4 days."
The clerk hit a few keys on her computer and looked up at Mel and smiled. "You'll only have to pay for 5 rooms miss. Since your racing in the race your room was paid for by the Tokyo racing circuit. So for 5 of our best rooms for 4 days at 200 dollars a night will be 4000 dollars."
Mel looked back at her friends and sighed. And handed her credit card over to the girl. The girl charged Mel's card and handed her the receipt to sign. After Mel signed it the girl handed Mel back her card and her copy of the receipt. As Mel went to turn away the clerk tapped her on the arm and when Mel turned back around the girl was holding a motocross jersey identical to Mel's and a sharpie. Mel smiled softly and took the sharpie from the girl and signed the jersey and then set the marker down and smiled again "Ciao" Mel turned around and walked over to the others and handed them their key cards. "We own the top floor." Mel chuckled. The group of Senshi all went to their respective rooms.
"Hey Mel what time does the race start?" Minako asked before entering her room.
"It's tonight at 8pm. I'll have Mako-chan call you on your communicator's when its time to go. I'll call Jessie and Crystal's room n inform them so we'll see ya tonight ok. Enjoy the city its beautiful this time of year."
Makoto grabbed Mel and pulled her into the room and closed the door. Mel's eyes got wide as Makoto pinned her up against the door and kissed her hotly. When they finally broke for air Makoto looked at Mel and smiled. "If you win the race it would be my pleasure to treat you tonight if you know what I mean."
Mel chuckled. "You think the promise of sex with you will make me win huh? Well I need all the incentive I can get. Haruka-san has beaten me twice now. It be nice to see her as #2 this time." Mel then captured Makoto's mouth in a deep lustful kiss. Picking her up and carrying her to the bed. No sooner did Mel lay Makoto down but there was a knock on the door. Mel growled and reluctantly stopped kissing her lover. "Like I said never fuckin' fails." Mel growled again and angrily walked over to the door and opened it. When she saw who was standing there she took a few steps away from the door. "I remember what happed last time you were on the other side of the door."
Haruka hung her head. "I deserved that. May we come in?"
Mel nodded and motioned for the two older girls to come in. "Either of you want a drink?"
They both accepted a drink and the 4 girls sat and talked till it was time to get ready for the race. As Mel went through her duffel bag she pulled out all her pads and her racing uniform. Sitting in her helmet was a small green velvet box. Mel smiled softly and slipped it back into her duffel bag. As Mel got ready Makoto called the others and told them to meet them in the lobby in 15 minutes. Ivory walked into the room and looked at Makoto and smiled. "I'm gonna hang out with Hotaru and Chibi-usa after the race ok. We'll be in Hotaru's room if you need me k."
"That's fine kiddo. Just let Mel know ok."
"Ah she already knows. I talked to her a week ago about it"
"Oh ok." Makoto chuckled
Mel walked out of the bathroom in all her gear. Her race shirt was silver and had black wings painted on the back. The front of the shirt was black and had four red claw like rips in it. Across the front in green lighting writing said 'Demon Warrior'. Her pants were black with the same red claw like design across the front and the back of them was silver. Mel picked her helmet up off the bed and smiled. "Shall we girls?" Makoto and Ivory smiled. They met up with the others in the lobby and headed towards the track.
The stands were packed with fans on the cool January night. Makoto and the other girls were standing in Mel's pit on the track. Minako shivered slightly as the cool night air kissed her bare arms. Mel smiled and tossed Minako her jacket. "Hey Mina-chan next time everyone else has a coat on or a sweatshirt on don't wear a tank top ok." Mel chuckled. She hopped up on her dirt bike. "Be right back guys." She pulled the bike up into a wheelie and sped out of her pit to do her warm up/stunt lap. About 15 minutes later Mel pulled back into her pit and took her helmet off. "The track is pretty ruff lots of grooves in it. Not to mention it's wet from the rain earlier so there's a nice puddle in the dip before the final jump."
Makoto looked at Mel and smiled softly. "You say all that like it's a bad thing. Last two races the tracks were in perfect condition. Maybe a ruff track will be lucky for you." Makoto walked over and leaned up against Mel's bike and looked at her rainbow haired lover and smirked.
Mel smiled. "Yea maybe angel who knows." The two minute whistle blew and Mel smiled. "Stay here in the pit iz best seat in the house. Wish me luck."
Makoto kissed Mel softly "good luck ai." The others all blushed slightly and wished Mel luck. Mel put her helmet on and pulled out of her pit and took her position next to Haruka on the starting line. Mel looked over at her and nodded her head and gave Haruka thumbs up. Haruka shook her head and gave Mel thumbs up.
The shot rang out and the racers were off. The entire race Haruka and Mel were in the lead. By the third lap Mel had gained a nice lead on Haruka and when she hit the dip before the last jump she pulled the bike into a wheelie and did a hand stand on her handle bars and crossed the finish line followed closely by Haruka. Mel took her helmet off and untucked her hair from her shirt and smiled to herself. Mel tossed her helmet to a young fan and smiled. "Come to my pit after the ceremony ok n I'll sign that for you if you want." She then rode over to the winner's platform. Mel accepted the trophy but not the kiss from the trophy girl. Haruka smiled and shook her head. Mel simply flicked Haruka off and smirked when Haruka did the same thing she had done. Mel did her victory stunt lap and the crowd gasped at most of the stunts because Mel was doing them without a helmet.
Mel pulled back into her pit after the trophy ceremony and as soon as she got off her bike she was flooded with hugs from her friends. Minako was first into Mel's arms wrapping her arms around her neck hugging her tight. "You were so great Mel-chan; the race was so totally wicked cool."
Mel smiled as the younger girl let her go. "Arigotu Mina-chan."
Next to jump her was Usagi. "Sagoui Mel-chan that's what you were."
"Oi, oi odongo I wasn't that great." Mel smiled again. "But thank you."
Ami simply walked up to Mel and bowed. "Congratulations Melanie-san."
"Mel please Ami-chan. and arigotu."
Ami nodded and walked away. Rei smiled as she hugged Mel "You were great Mel-chan. You totally left Haruka-san in the dust."
"You gotta be kidding me Rei-chan she was breathing down my neck the whole race." Mel chuckled "but arigotu."
Mel felt a small tug on her pant leg and turned around and smiled at the little girl standing there holding her helmet. Mel took the sharpie Minako offered her. "So what's your name huh?"
The girl blushed and spoke very softly. "Katie."
"Katie huh." Mel smiled and signed the helmet and put it on the little girl and chuckled softly.
Katie laughed and took the helmet off. "Thank you very much. My older brother will be soooo jealous." The little girl hugged Mel softly then took her mothers hand and walked off happily.
"That was nice of you Mel-chan." Ami smiled softly at the older girl. Mel simply smiled in reply.
Makoto walked over to Mel and wrapped her arms around Mel's neck and kissed the tip of her nose playfully before capturing the older girl's lips then mouth in a hot kiss. The others blushed deeply as they kissed. When they finally broke for air Makoto smiled "You were great ai. Looks like you're in for a long night."
Mel smiled. "Aishiteru and hai we are in for a long night." Mel winked at her angel and kissed her softly.
Minako looked at the embrace Makoto and Mel were in and smiled. "Come on you guys lets leave the two love birds alone."
Makoto blushed and looked over at Minako. "You're really summin else Mina-chan. No one picks on you guys when you're hangin' all over your men."
Minako just smiled and winked at the taller girl. "We'll see you guys tomorrow for breakfast ok. Meet us in the hotel lobby."
Mel winked at Makoto then chuckled. "You said the magic word there angel 'men.' We should get going anyways I'm pretty beat. I hate night races they tire you out. Yea sure we'll see ya then round 7 ok."
When Makoto walked into the hotel room the bed was covered in rose petals and there was a bottle of champagne chilling next to the bed. "Mel how did you-"
Mel cut her off with a soft kiss. "I told the guy at the front desk to listen to the race and if I won I wanted the bed covered in rose petals and a bottle of Champaign chilling next to the bed." Mel then wrapped her arms around her young lover and kissed her deeply. "I'm gonna go hop in the shower though first. Care to join me?" Mel chuckled softly at the slight blush on Makoto's cheeks.
"No not a shower a candle lit bubble bath they are soooo much more romantic."
Mel smiled. "Ok I think I can handle that as long as you're with me." Mel wrapped her arms tightly around Makoto and kissed her deeply. "I'll go get the bath ready ok."
Mel kissed Makoto again softly. "Ok angel I'll finish up in here. Call me when it's ready." Makoto nodded and walked into the bathroom. And set everything up. Mel walked over to her duffel bag and pulled out a small green velvet box and smiled softly.
Makoto poked her head out of the bathroom. "Bath is ready ai."
Mel put the contents of the box in the pocket of her flannel pj pants and carried them into the bathroom. Makoto smiled at Mel. "I'll be back gonna go get my pjs."
Mel undressed and settled into the hot water and sighed heavily. "You really are in for a hell of a night angel."
"Oh really and why is that?"
Mel smirked. "Get in the tub and I'll show ya."
Makoto looked at Mel and smiled softly. "Promise?" Mel nodded and Makoto slowly got undressed and sat down in front of Mel and leaned back into her and sank into the hot water.
Mel kissed the top of Makoto's head softly. "Aishiteru." Mel wrapped her arms around Makoto's waist and sighed softly.
Makoto smiled. "I love you too ai."
After the bubbles dissolved and the water began to get cold the two girls got out of the tub and dried off and got into their pjs. They walked into the room and sat down at the table and Mel drummed her fingers on the table top then looked at Makoto. "Get dressed angel and I mean formal dress k."
Makoto looked at Mel funny. "May I ask why?"
"I'm taking you to dinner so jus get dressed." Mel walked over to her duffel bag and pulled out a folded suite bag and smiled at Makoto. Mel set the bag on the bed and opened it. She pulled out a satin emerald dress, the same color as Mel's eyes, and handed it to Makoto. She then removed her tuxedo.
"Mel when did you buy this dress?" Makoto looked at Mel and raised her right eyebrow. "Well I'm sure you bought shoes to go with it so let's have um."
Mel slid a box of shoes across the floor to Makoto. "You're no fun angel. I'm not telling you when or where I bought that dress so don't worry your pretty lil head over it and get the sexy ass of yours into it." The two girls got dressed quietly and Mel grabbed her leather trench coat off the hook and put it on Makoto then spun her around and kissed her deeply. "Almost forgot summin." Mel disappeared into the bathroom and pulled her surprise out of the pocket of her pj pants. She walked back out by Makoto. "You ready angel?" Makoto nodded. "Let's get rollin' then." Mel called down to the front desk and told the girl in Italian to have a limo waiting outside for them.
When they walked down to the lobby they were met by their driver. "Mel a limo? What do you have planned ai?"
Mel smiled. "We're celebrating ok. So shut up and let me spoil you." Makoto smiled softly and nodded. They walked outside and got into the limo. About 10-15 minutes later they pulled up in front of a very expensive restaurant. Mel smiled at the hostess and spoke in Italian. "Can we have a secluded table out on the terries maybe and a bottle of your best champagne?"
The hostess nodded. "Of course Ms. Chase. Please follow me."
Mel motioned for Makoto to walk in front of her. "After you princess." Makoto blushed slightly and followed the hostess to a beautiful table on the terries.
"Here you go Madame. Giovanni will be right out with your champagne. If there is anything else you need just let him know. Enjoy the evening and view."
"We will thank you very much." Mel placed her left hand on top of Makoto's right and smiled softly. "You ok angel?"
"I'm fine Mel I've jus never been treated like this before that's all. I'm so used to taking care of myself I feel funny about you doing all this for me."
The waiter brought out the champagne and popped the cork and poured their first glass and set it down in front of them and handed Mel the menu since it was in Italian. They discussed what they were going to get then Mel ordered in Italian and the waiter wrote it down then left. Makoto picked up her glass to make a toast. "To finding lost love."
Mel smiled. "And to starting new lives." Mel dropped a delicate ring into Makoto's glass. It was gold with a heart in the center of two hands and a crown rested atop the heart. In the center of the open heart was a small diamond
Makoto sat there stunned looking at the ring through the bubbly glass then set it down slowly. "Is that what I think it is?"
Mel hooked the ring on a fork and pulled it out of Makoto's glass. She carefully dried it off then stood up and walked over to Makoto and fell to one knee. "Yea angel it is." Mel slowly slipped the ring on Makoto's left ring finger with the point of the heart facing Makoto's face. "Will you marry me Kino Makoto?"
Makoto went to speak but had no voice. A small tear ran down her cheek. She took Mel's hand in her's and stood up pulling Mel up with her and wrapped her arms around Mel's neck so they were standing nose to nose and spoke softly. "Yes Mel I will. I'd be honored to spend the rest of my life beside you." Makoto pressed her lips firmly against Mel's and kissed her lovingly.
The girls heard clapping and broke their kiss. Makoto blushed when she saw everyone in the restaurant standing up and clapping. Mel smiled softly at Makoto. "What do you say we sit down and eat huh? You know before it gets cold." Mel motioned for the waiter to come out and serve them. "He must have seen me drop the ring in your glass and knew what was happening and decided to wait." The two girls ate quietly and Mel paid the bill and the two of them hopped back into the limo and ended up back at their hotel. Mel tipped the driver and her and Makoto walked into the lobby.
They were met by Minako when they walked in. "There you are. Mel the president of the Milan racing circuit has been looking for you for the past hour. Where have you been?"
"Dinner okasa. Where is he?"
Minako looked at Mel and huffed. "Haru-chan has been stalling him. He's in her room. STAY HERE I'll go get him."
"Hai Okasa."
Minako returned a few moments later with a tall guy in about his late 20's. His black hair was slicked back and his blue eyes twinkled slightly. He spoke to Mel in perfect English. "Did I interrupt your evening Miss Chase?"
Mel looked at the guy and shrugged her shoulders. "Sorta but how can I help ya?"
"I'm very sorry I won't keep you very long. I just wanted to inform you that the victory celebration will be tomorrow evening at 8pm. You are expected to be there. And before you even ask yes all your friends are welcome. Please enjoy the rest of your evening. I'll see you tomorrow evening. Please be there by 7:30. And so you know there will be press there. Ciao." The man smiled and kissed Makoto's hand. And spoke to her in Italian. "So beautiful you should be on my arm not her's. The pleasure I could show you and do to you." He then smiled at the two girls and walked away.
Makoto looked at Mel and saw the look on her face. "I'll be right back angel." She followed the guy outside and tapped him on the shoulder. When he turned around Mel grabbed him by the front of his coat and spoke to him in perfect Italian. Her voice taking an icy tone. "You EVER say summin like that to my fiancé again and I'll do a lot more then pin you against a wall." Mel let him go and smoothed the wrinkles out of his coat and shirt. "Now you have a nice night ok." Mel then walked back inside the hotel.
Makoto took Mel's hand. "What did he say anyways?"
"Nuttin much just comin' on to you. Don't worry angel you'll be speaking Italian before we go back to Tokyo."
Makoto smiled. "What do you say we finish our celebration in bed hmmm."
Mel smiled. "Yea sounds good to me. But um where's Ivory?"
"Spending the night with Hotaru-chan and Chibi-usa-chan."
"Cool so I'll have all night to make love to you hmmm. Life is good." Mel smirked at Makoto and the two of them got in the elevator and walked down the hall towards their room. When they walked past Rei and Ami's room they heard funny sounds. "What the hell are they doing in there?" Mel raised her left eye brow.
"Probably the same thing we'll be doing when we get to our room."
Mel looked at Makoto. "You think? I never would have guessed Ami swung that way? So who had it bad for who?"
Makoto laughed as they reached their door Makoto stood between Mel and the door. "Rei had it bad for Ami. But I have it bad for you." Makoto wrapped her arms around Mel's neck and kissed her playfully.
Mel kissed her back and when they finally broke for air Mel looked at Makoto. "Well you doing that won't get this door open any faster ok. All it will do is cause me to fuck you right here in the hallway."
Before Mel could get the door open Haruka tapped her shoulder. "Mel-san can I please come in and talk to you and Makoto-san? Michiko and I have to speak with you please."
Mel looked at Makoto and frowned. "Yea sure Haruka-san." Mel opened her door. "Please come in. OH SHIT! Um the bed is kinda covered in rose petal's so um don't ask." Mel looked at the two older girls and blushed.
Haruka's eyes got wide and she smiled softly. "Its ok Mel I wouldn't ask. I've done the same thing so."
Mel nodded and the four of them walked into the room. "Anyone want anything to drink?" Mel asked lookin at Makoto and fiddling with the ring on her finger. It was identical to the one she gave Makoto. Everyone wanted water so Mel walked over to the mini fridge in the room and grabbed 4 waters. Then went back by the others. She gave them their waters. "So what's up Haruka-san?"
"Just wanted to talk about the race. You've changed a lot since Madrid. That night I had you meet us by the fountain was actually pretty interesting. Never thought you would turn it down." Haruka smiled. "Though you have changed for the better. Makoto-san was and is lucky to have you protecting her."
FLASH BACK
Mel walked down the empty street and when she reached the fountain she saw two shadows. Mel sighed and walked over to them. "Can you please tell me why we couldn't have met in my room or yours?"
Haruka looked at her. "Because there's more room out here."
"More room?" Mel raised her left eye brow.
Michiru stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Mel's neck. "Yea the beds in the rooms are too small. See truth is that I really like your warrior look. Your features are so cold and curl, yet in your smile there is just the slightest bit of warmth."
Mel looked down at the teal haired girl who was practically throwing herself at her and kept an emotionless face. "Yea so I've been told. Look no offence but my heart still belongs to her I-I can't do what you're hinting at."
Michiru leaned more into Mel. Through her shirt Mel could feel Michiru's taunt nipples. "You said yourself she doesn't remember you. So why not let Haruka and myself warm you up tonight?"
Haruka's eyes got wide. "Michiko what are you doing? You don't even know her and you're telling her we'll fuck her? What's gotten into you?"
Michiru looked at Mel and then over her shoulder at Haruka. She smiled slyly. "Well you don't have to if you don't want to Haruka."
Mel's eyes got wide. "Hey now you two who says I'm into manaja trios anyways."
Michiru turned her face back at Mel and kissed her deeply. "I do."
"Hey I'm not into this dominatrix shit ok. Look I'm sorry I can't do this." Mel removed Michiru's arms from around her neck. "I really am sorry, but like I said before my heart is already spoken for. Even if she doesn't remember me I still love her. I'm sorry again." Mel turned and walked away.
END FLASHBACK
Mel looked at Haruka. "You didn't like the idea anymore than I did. What I can't believe is you let her offer something like that."
Haruka smirked. "To tell you the truth I really wouldn't have minded."
Mel's eyes got wide. Makoto looked at her lover then over at her two friends. "Wouldn't have minded what Haruka-san?"
Michiru smiled slightly. "Sleeping with Mel. You see after the race in Madrid I had Mel meet me and Haruka at the fountain in the center of town and I basically threw myself at her and offered her a 3 some with Haruka and myself. How she was able to turn that down. Even though you had no clue who she was she still loved you."
Makoto raised her left eyebrow and looked at her two friends. "So let me get this straight you threw yourself at Mel and she turned you down. And you really wouldn't have minded if Mel went along with it?"
Haruka nodded. "Yea kitten you got it right."
Mel looked at Makoto and smiled softly. "Yea you see the real reason Haruka-san beat the hell outta me was because she can't handle rejection. I must have been the only girl to ever turn her down."
Makoto looked at Mel and shook her head. "You're really summin you know that Mel." Mel just smiled at Makoto.
Haruka stood up and took Michiru's hand. "Well we'll catch ya at the party tomorrow night ok. Congrats though Mel. Hope you know next year I'll beat you for sure." Haruka winked and her and Michiru left.
Makoto looked at Mel and wrapped her arms around her neck. "Mmmm so now where were we ai?"
Mel smirked and unzipped Makoto's dress. "Here." She then leaned in and kissed her deeply picking the young brunette up and letting the dress fall to the floor in a rumpled pile. Mel carried her lover to the bed and laid her down. Mel then broke the kiss and took her tuxedo jacket off along with the tie and vest. "Vera amore me, la mia anima gemella. Aishiteru." Mel then laid down on the bed next to her young lover and kissed her neck softly flicking her pulse spot a few times with her tongue. Makoto turned in Mel's arms so she was facing her. Makoto kissed Mel playfully and unbuttoned her shirt and undid her pants. Mel smiled softly and rolled Makoto back onto her back and straddled her waist. She untucked her shirt and threw it off to the side. She then grabbed the bottle of champagne and popped the cork letting the foam spill onto Makoto's bare chest and abdomen. Mel chuckled softly. "Gomen ne angel didn't mean ta do that." Mel smiled and set the bottle of champagne down and licked up Makoto's body. Till she met her lips in a soft kiss. She ran her hand down Makoto's side as she lulled her tongue over her taunt nipples. Mel pet Makoto softly as she kissed up her neck and nibbled and then sucked on her earlobe softly. Mel captured Makoto's mouth in a deep kiss as she slipped two fingers into her lover. Feeling the smooth wet muscles constrict and relax around her fingers only added to Mel's wanting for her angel. Makoto whimpered softly into the kiss as the waves slowly began to grow and pass through her. Mel felt her quiver and kissed down her young lover's body. Makoto arched her back with every wave that passed through her allowing Mel to go deeper. Makoto moaned softly as Mel replaced her fingers with her tongue. Mel used her tongue ring and the slightest bit of magick to bring her lover to the brink of a climax and beyond. Makoto racked Mel's back with her nails. Mel winced slightly as she felt the warm blood start to trickle down her back. Makoto couldn't hold back any longer and she arched her back and yelled her lover's name. Mel replaced her tongue with her fingers once again and kissed the trembling girl to silence her cries. Mel felt the younger girl's body slip underneath her and broke the kiss and looked into the bright emerald eyes of her lover. "You ok angel?"
Makoto smiled up at Mel and with what strength she had left she removed Mel's hand and rolled them over. Makoto licked Mel's fingers clean and then straddled her waist. Her chest heaving as she spoke breathlessly. "I'm fine ai. It's no fun if I'm the only one receiving the pleasure." Makoto smiled and then leaned in and kissed Mel sweetly. She then unzipped Mel's pants and pulled them off. Makoto pet Mel softly through her silk boxers. She then slipped her hand into her boxers and slipped two fingers into her warrior and smiled softly as she felt her lovers muscles tighten and then relax. Makoto trailed soft kisses down Mel's neck and the exposed skin on Mel's chest and then kissed and nibbled on her abdomen. It didn't take Makoto long to bring Mel into a pant. After hours of pleasuring each other Makoto curled up next to her lover and fell asleep.
