Mel and Makoto sat there on the floor in front of the sofa kissing instead of watching the movie they rented. Ivory saw them and threw a pillow at Mel. Mel chuckled and laid her head on the couch and smirked at Ivory. "Wha?"
"Damn you two get a room. I wanna watch the movie not you two make out yeesh!" Ivory chuckled "I love ya two I really do but please wait till after I go to bed to do that shit."
Mel chuckled. "Gomen, gomen we'll behave."
Ivory smiled. "Good now shut up and watch the movie."
Makoto scratched her head. "Who was the adult again Mel I seem to have forgotten."
Mel laughed. "You heard the lil boss gotta shut up and watch movie."
Makoto giggled and snuggled up close to Mel. "Well I guess we can watch the movie."
After the movie was over there was a knock on the door. Ivory smiled and answered the door. Pretty soon she returned to the front room with Hotaru and Chibi-usa. Mel looked at Ivory funny. "Um how did they get here?"
"I brought them."
Makoto and Mel looked in the doorway and saw Haruka standing there. Makoto smiled softly. "Haruka-chan how are you?"
"I'm ok Mako-chan. Mel-chan can I talk to you for a second?"
"Yea sure. I was just about to go have a smoke. Walk with me." The two of them walked out onto Mel's balcony. Mel pulled out a cigarette and lit it. "So what's up Haruka-chan?"
"Minako told me bout you and Makoto. And I just wanted to say I'm happy for you. Michi and I have been engaged for a while now. And well I want you to do me a favor ok. Promise me you won't hurt her. Makoto has had enough hurt and heartbreak in her life to span two lifetimes. I look at Makoto as a lil sister so please take care of her and treat her good."
Mel nodded. "I'll take care of her promise and there is no way in hell I'd ever hurt her. As for Minako I can't make any promises what'll happen to her she promised Makoto she'd keep her yap shut."
Haruka smiled. "Please don't tell her I know. Minako only told me because I asked her. I saw the ring on Makoto's finger in the parking lot this morning. You're always wearing that ring so when I saw Makoto wearing the same one it only meant one thing to me that you proposed to her."
Mel smiled. "Yea well I won't tell Makoto but you can't say anything to any one though ok. Makoto wants to be the one to tell the others." Mel took the last drag of her cigarette then flicked it over the railing. "So what's up with bringing the kiddy's here?"
"I need you to watch um tonight. I called Usagi and she knows Chibi-usa is here. I have to go to some banquette with Michiru tonight."
Mel smiled. "Sure they can stay here. Now you can't say I never did anything for you."
"Thanks Mel I owe you two now. One you save my life and two you bailed me outta this jam. See ya tomorrow sometime k."
Mel smiled. "Yea ok see you tomorrow Haruka-chan."
At about 9 am the next day Ivory walked into Mel's bedroom armed with water gun. She snickered and then opened fire on Mel and Makoto. Mel jumped outta bed and chased Ivory into the kitchen before she finally caught her. Mel lifted Ivory up and threw her over her shoulder. "Alright you think it funny to attack me with a water gun at 9 in the morning huh." Mel carried Ivory back to her bed room. "What do you think we should do to her angel?"
Makoto laughed. "I say she has to make breakfast."
"Oh come on it was just water." Ivory pleaded
"Very cold water. And I think Makoto has a good idea. You get the honor to make breakfast today."
"Can't you be like normal parents and like ground me or summin?"
Mel chuckled. "You'd rather we grounded you then have you make breakfast today?"
Ivory smiled. "No its jus Chibi-usa is picky that's all."
Makoto laughed. "You know what they say like mother like daughter though in this case it's like father like daughter."
Everyone laughed. Ivory walked out into the kitchen and started breakfast. While Mel and Makoto got dressed Ahriman ran into Mel's room. "We have to get to the college campus and fast."
Mel yawned. "Why what's wrong?"
"Wake up you ass. Yoma attack. Finish getting dressed and get your asses there. You have 5 minutes to get dressed and out of here. The other Senshi are already there. Meet me there ok." Ahriman then disappeared.
Mel and Makoto finished getting dressed. "Hey Ivory put breakfast on hold we have some work to do. Yoma attack at the college."
"Right Mel we're on our way. Come on you two you heard her we gotta get to the college now."
When the five Senshi got there they saw what appeared to be either an ice or a crystal yoma. Callisto pulled her sai's from there holder in the small of her back and changed the yoma. When she hit it shattered and when it pulled itself back together there were two standing there instead one. Super Nova looked at the yoma and rubbed her chin. She looked at Jupiter and smirked. "Watch this princess." Nova winked at Jupiter then black dragon wings sprung from her back. Super Nova flew up about 6 feet from the ground on bowed her head. A red light circled her. When it faded Reyu hovered there. Reyu looked at Jupiter and winked. She then looked over at the yoma and ran her hand through her thick white hair. She then looked over at Callisto and shook her head. "Do me a favor Callisto transform into you other form I may need Kargorok's help."
Callisto looked at Reyu funny. "How do you know about Kargorok?"
Reyu landed in front of Callisto. "Because I'm a demon and I can sense things others only wish they could. If you don't want to change just say so. I can handle this myself anyways." Reyu turned and faced the yoma and held out her hand and a red and purple ball of light appeared and started to glow.
Callisto looked at Reyu. "I'll help you wait a second please." At that a deep purple light encircled Callisto when it disappeared there was a taller navy blue haired girl dressed in camo pants and vest. With a black bra. She had deep purple dragon like wings similar to Reyu's. Her eyes remained two different colors. Left hazel with a green ring around the pupil and right was violet. And a barb wire tattoo on her right arm. She looked at Reyu and smirked. Her voice was gruff as she spoke. "It's been a long time Reyu. Never in a million years would I ever think you would need my help. I'll take the one on the right you take the one on the left."
Reyu nodded. "Yea ok. I don't need your help I just don't want the fight to last any longer than it has to ok." At that Reyu faced the yoma on the left her voice mechanical and void of all emotion. "Demon soul." In a flash of red and purple light hit the one yoma was gone. Nothing remaining but a pile of dust.
Kargorok smirked. "Nice, nice well done. You really do give me a run for my money Reyu." Kargorok faced the yoma on the right and closed her eyes and floated up so she was even with the yoma's face. When she opened her eyes they were glowing purple. Her voice gruff and void of all emotion she spoke. "Hell fires." Flames surrounded the yoma and when they disappeared it stood there black. A strong gust of wind blew and the yoma crumbled and blew away with the wind.
Reyu smirked. "Show off." Reyu walked back over by Jupiter and winked at her again then changed back into Super Nova.
Pulsar's eyes got wide and she walked over to Super Nova. "How in the world did you do that? I didn't know you had three forms."
Super Nova smiled. "Yea I do, but lets 'ope we don't see Enyo anytime soon ok."
Jupiter ran her fingers down Nova's back and smiled softly. "I'll never get used to that."
"Ta what princess?"
"You changing into Reyu."
Venus piped up. "I'm with Mako-chan on that only I never knew my sister could do that. Hell I didn't even know she was a Senshi."
Kargorok walked over to Venus and smiled and transformed back into Callisto. "Aw don't worry about me Minako. I'll be fine. I've taken your place in England. I've lived this long so please."
Super Nova blushed when her stomach growled. "Anyone 'ungry? My treat." Nova transformed back into Mel and smiled softly.
Pulsar piped up. "Yup, yup I'm very hungry and if you're buying that makes me even more hungry." Ivory smiled up at Mel. The others detransformed and the inner Senshi agreed to go to breakfast. Hotaru decided to be the only outer Senshi to go. Crystal and Jessie gladly went with their friend to breakfast. When they arrived at the restaurant the hostess smiled widely and hugged Mel. "Oh my god its you Mel. How have you been?"
Mel smiled and hugged the girl back. "Logan hey how are you? I haven't seen you since shit after I got back from Spain."
The chestnut haired girl smiled her hazel eyes twinkling. "I'm good. Some things never change huh."
Mel raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"You. You're always surrounded by beautiful woman. So which one are you dating hmm? Wait don't tell me you're dating..." Logan scanned the group of girls and her eyes fell on Makoto. "You're dating her." Logan smiled and pointed at Makoto.
Mel smiled. "You truly scare me sometimes Logan you know that."
Logan smiled. "Yea well you're a good teacher. Let me go get a table ready for you guys ok I'll be right back." Logan walked back to a table in a back of the place and put about five tables and went back and took Mel and the others to the table. "I hope this is a big enough table. So if I know Mel as well as I think I do this will be all one check. So what can I get you all to drink? Mel will have coffee how bout the rest of you."
Mel smiled. "Coffee all around Logan."
Logan smiled. "You guys better watch Mel. If you're not careful she'll spoil the hell out of all of you. But I'll go get those coffees and I'm sure some of you will want cream so I'll be back."
Rei smiled softly. "So Mel-chan how do you know her?"
Mel blushed softly. "It's a long story. Me and her grew up together in New York. Her mother was the last foster home I went to before I ran off and lived on the streets. She moved out here with her mother about 2 years before I did. I mean we were like sisters up till she moved. Well maybe a lil closer than sister's. But I never thought in a million years I'd run into her again."
Makoto chuckled. "See if you didn't run off from her place we would have met sooner." Makoto smiled.
Logan came back and smiled at the girls. "Ok you guys here's the deal cups fer ya all now let me go nab the coffee." Logan left then came back a few minutes later with a pot of coffee. "Ok now for the deal. All who don't want coffee turn your cup over." Logan sighed when none of them turned their cup over. Mel looked at Rei and then at Usagi and then stood up and turned Usagi's cup over. "Mel that wasn't nice you know." Logan chuckled.
"Yea but you don't know her. Trust me if she has coffee all these girls are gonna kick my ass. So to stay out of a full body cast bring her chocolate milk or summin ok." Mel chuckled and winked at Logan.
"Yeah ok I'm sure you can take um."
Makoto smiled. "She might be able to take them but she has yet to kick my ass." Makoto chuckled at the look on Mel's face.
Mel looked at Makoto with her left eyebrow raise. "What the hell you talkin bout Mako-chan you know damn well I can kick your ass."
Makoto chuckled. "Yea, yea keep telling yourself that Mel."
Mel rolled her eyes. "You keep telling yourself that Mako-chan, cuz we all know I can kick your ass." Mel smiled and then stood up. "I soooo need a smoke I'll be back."
Logan watched Mel walk away from the table and followed her outside. "So what made you run away anyways Mel? I always wondered why you did. I mean you seemed happy with Jay and everything."
Mel lit her cigarette and chuckled slightly. "Jay was the reason I left. He well he." Mel trailed off and hung her head. "He raped me. I couldn't bear to face your mom when she found out. I left her a note and left. It wasn't anything you guys did. I jus couldn't stay there. He knew where I was there and I couldn't stand it. Him being a narcotics cop made it worse. He had soooo many sources it was soooo hard to hide from him. He got me stoned so he thought I wouldn't fight him. And now I got my girlfriend trying to help me stay clean. It's been hard girl it really has. But it's nice to see a familiar face. Here take this." Mel handed Logan a card. It had her home and cell phone number on it. She wrote her address on the back of card. "There now you have no excuse not to keep in touch."
Logan smiled and took the card. "Mel I wish you would have told mom or me and not run off. Mom thought it was her. We even went out and looked for you. I'll bring her by tomorrow to see you ok."
Mel nodded. "Well better get back before they think I'm doing things with you I'm not."
Logan smiled. "Got news for you Mel, I'm engaged so I wouldn't do those things with you. Sides your like a sister to me."
"Yea well so am I and yea you are like my lil sis in a way."
"Ha I knew it. The lil girl with the chestnut hair is your daughter."
Mel laughed. "No Logan she's not. Well she is sorta. I adopted her. So I'm not her birth mother if that answered any questions."
Logan smiled. "Well I'm glad you found someone who makes you happy Mel. Now come on lets go feed them before they get restless."
Mel chuckled. "Knowing Usagi she's probably already eaten her place mat."
The two girls laughed and walked back into the restaurant. Mel sat back down next to Makoto and smiled. "So what are you guys having?"
The others smiled and after everyone ordered Logan smiled and put their order in. Makoto looked at Mel and smiled softly. "So did you and her have a nice talk while you were out there."
Mel looked over at Makoto and smiled. "I guess, but that's all we did was talk. She wanted to know why I ran away instead of staying there."
Makoto shook her head. "I wasn't implying you did anything more than talk Mel. I know you better than anyone else and I trust you so don't get so defensive ok."
Mel nodded. "I'm sorry angel just used to being blamed for things I didn't do."
