The group of girls walked back onto campus and walked to the parking lot. Mel looked at the others. "Meet me and Maks back at the loft ok. Rei-chan I'll give ya a ride to your school to pick up your car."
The other's nodded and got in their cars and headed to Mel's. Rei got in Mel's Cobra. "Um its ok Mel-chan my car is at the temple. Yuichiro gave me a ride to school today because he needed the car so we can just go straight to your place."
"Right on Rei-chan." Mel revved the engine a few times then pealed out of the parking lot. Mel smirked as she gained quickly on Minako's Mercedes. Mel flickered her headlights a few times then pulled out into the other lane to pass her. Minako thinking it was some jerk sped up. "Good Mina-chan speed up. I'll still get past ya." Mel smirked and rolled all the windows down. "Hold on you guy and ignore the loud music. We're about to teach Minako how to drive." Mel put her Mudvayne cd in and chose the song Not Falling and shifted gears and sped up. She pulled up along side Minako and when Minako looked to see who it was Mel winked at her and blew her a kiss before shifting gears again and speeding past her and then moved over into the same lane as Minako then sped off.
Minako hit her steering wheel. "Baka. She is such a child. I'll get her for that."
Mel lowered the radio after the song was over. Makoto shook her head. Ivory and Rei looked at each other and then started to laugh. When they got to Mel's building they drove up to her level in the parking garage. Mel smirked as she saw Ami and Usagi's car's were already there. Mel parked her Cobra next to Makoto's '75 mustang and the four girls got out of the car. "Minako may be a lil bitchy when she gets here. I kinda showed her lil shitty Mercedes up."
Rei smiled at her blue haired girl and walked over by her. "You should have seen the look on Mina-chan's face. It was priceless." Rei looked at Mel. "Girl that was awesome."
Mel smiled. "I HATE Mercedes and every chance I get to show one up I do. This one just happened to be Mina-chan's"
Makoto laughed. "You knew it was her's her license plate is Aino."
Mel smiled. "Yea you got me there I knew it was her's."
After about 20 minutes Minako pulled up. Mel chuckled as she got out of her car. Minako glared at Mel. "You're such a baka you know that. About 2 blocks from where you passed me there's an accident. I so had to take a detour."
"There was no accident when I went through that intersection. Let's go inside though and talk ok. I mean Ivory is already up there."
The group of girls walked to the elevator and went up to the loft. Mel walked out onto her balcony and lit a cigarette. Makoto smiled. "Help yourself to whatever you guys can find in the fridge me and Mel will be right there. Makoto quietly walked out and took Mel's pack of cigarettes out of her back pocket. She took one and put the pack back. Makoto then reached into Mel's left front pocket and pulled out her lighter and lit her cigarette. She put the lighter back and winked at Mel.
Mel chuckled. "Are you finished turning me on now yeesh." Mel looked at her brunette lover and smirked.
Makoto smirked. "Yea for now I am. But the others are raiding the fridge so."
The two girls finished their cigarettes and walked into the loft. Upon walking in Minako assaulted Mel with streams of ice cold water. She laughed as she kept rapidly pulling the trigger on the water gun she borrowed from Ivory. Mel on the other hand wasn't laughing. Before any one could react Mel had Minako off the ground and over her shoulder.
"Mel put me down it was a joke."
Mel growled. "I fuckin hate water. It's a long story." Mel dropped Minako on the sofa and sighed heavily and walked towards her bedroom.
Minako frowned. "Mel." Mel kept walking towards her room. "Come on Mel stop for a second." Mel stopped and glared at Minako. "Look I'm sorry I didn't know."
Mel's look softened. "It's ok Mina-chan no one knew 'cept Maks so don't worry about it. I'm gonna go change my shirt though. I'll meet you guys in the kitchen."
Minako nodded and walked slowly back to the kitchen mumbling to herself. "Way to go you baka piss her off."
Mel changed into a plain white muscle shirt and walked out to the kitchen. When she walked in she was met by strange looks. Mel sighed heavily and shook her head. "Now what the hell are those looks for?"
Usagi smiled slightly and answered. "Mina-chan told us what you did. And Rei-chan was filling in the blanks of what was happening in your car that's all."
Mel shook her head. "Whatever. I'm gonna get some food any of you 'cept Usagi-chan want anything? I know she's hungry so I'm not even gonna ask her." Mel looked at the young sapphire eyed blonde and chuckled. After Mel made lunch the group of Senshi talked about the latest yoma attacks.
A few weeks later the girls were at their college's spring dance. Mel sat at a corner table and watched the group of Senshi dance. Mel sighed heavily and took her tuxedo jacket off. Mel watched as Makoto started to walk towards her to dance with her to the slow song and Minako grabbed her arm and pulled her back onto the dance floor and danced the dance with Makoto. Mel shook her head and put her tuxedo jacket back on and walked out of the hall the college rented and leaned against her car. Mel pulled a cigarette out of her jacket pocket and sat down on the hood of her Cobra and lit the cigarette. Mel sighed and laid down on the hood of the car and looked up at the stars as she smoked her cigarette. After a few minutes Makoto walked outside and saw Mel lying on the hood of her car and frowned. "I'm sorry ai. Mina-chan pulled me back on to the floor and..."
"It doesn't matter." Mel's voice was somber as she spoke. "I don't do dances anyways. Dance with whoever you want to."
Makoto sighed and sat on the car next to Mel. "I want to dance with you not Minako."
Mel looked over at Makoto and half heartedly smiled. "You seemed to be enjoying yourself dancing with her"
"Are you jealous Mel?"
Mel looked at Makoto and shook her head then sat up. "Hell no I'm not jealous. I know your comin home with me tonight and I know ain't no one else can do ya the way I do so I'm not worried bout Minako."
Makoto smiled and shook her head. "You really are summin else Mel."
Mel smirked. "Yea I know. Can't ya tell I try?"
Makoto laughed. "Yea ai I can tell. Now get your ass back in there and dance with me."
Mel chuckled and the two girls walked back into the hall. Minako smiled when she saw Makoto walk in. Scot put a hand on Minako's shoulder. "You do realize you've danced more with Makoto then Mel has. She hasn't even gotten to dance with Mel yet. Let her have a few dances with her fiancé."
Minako smiled. "Someone sounds jealous to me."
Scot shook his head. "No I'm not jealous Minako-ai I just want to dance with my baby for a few dances is that to much to ask?"
Minako smiled. "No babe its not. Lets go dance shall we."
Mel took Makoto's hand and spun her into her arms and held her close as they danced to Bring on the Rain Towards the end of the song Makoto rested her head on Mel's shoulder and closed her eyes. After the song ended Mel kissed Makoto's forehead softy; then went and sat down. Rei and Ami walked over and sat down with them. Mel took her tuxedo jacket off and draped it over the chair she was sitting in. Mel sighed softly when she saw Minako walk over and draped her arm over Makoto's shoulders. Makoto smiled slightly and removed Minako's arm. "Why are you so cheerful Mina-chan?"
Mel groaned. "Please if it involves sex don't tell us."
Minako raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with you grouchy?"
Mel glared at Minako. "Nuttin Mina-chan my back is just sore I'm sorry I didn't mean to be grouchy and rude to you."
Minako smiled softly at Mel. "Its ok girl. You really look tired Mel maybe you and Makoto should go."
"I'm ok Mina-chan. But thanks fer caring."
At about 2am the dance ended. Mel and Makoto walked into their loft and saw Ivory asleep on the sofa. Mel smiled softly. "I'll take her to bed. I'll meet you in the bedroom ok angel."
Makoto smiled softly. "Ok ai, but don't keep me waiting too long."
Mel smirked. "Ok angel." Mel gently picked Ivory up in her arms and carried her to her bedroom. Mel used her magick to move the covers. Mel gently laid Ivory down on her bed and pulled the covers up slowly. Mel kissed the young girls forehead lightly. "Oyasumi little one." Mel closed the door behind her softly and was met by Ahriman in the hall way.
"She's lucky to have found you, you know that right?"
Mel looked at the demon panther and rubbed her on the top of the head. "Lets just go to bed ok." Ahriman purred softly and followed Mel into the bedroom. Mel was met with a warm hug from Makoto. Mel jus smiled and hugged her fiancé. Ahriman walked past the two girls and jumped up onto Mel's bed and laid down across the center of the bed and pretended to be asleep. "Ahriman if you think your staying there you a few things comin." Mel chuckled at the look she got from Ahriman. The black panther growled slightly and walked down to the end of the bed and laid down. Mel let Makoto go and the two of them got in bed. Mel used her magick to turn the light off and Mel slowly fell asleep with Makoto lying on her chest.
Mel's phone rang early the next morning. Mel growled and reached for her phone. In a very groggy tone Mel spoke. "Hello." Mel growled when she heard the voice on the other end. "Minako-chan what do you want?"
"Will you and Mako-chan be in class today?"
"Um no Mina-chan its Saturday."
Minako got quiet. "Oh ok I'm sorry go back to sleep I'll talk to you later ok."
"Ok Mina-chan talk to you later. Ja na."
"Ja."
Mel hung the phone up and sighed. She looked over at Makoto who was lying on her stomach sleeping soundly. Wisps of Makoto's hair rested on her cheek. Mel smiled softly and brushed the hair off Makoto's cheek softly. Makoto stirred slightly and nuzzled the pillow with her nose. Mel chuckled softly and smiled at her sleeping princess. "Sleep well my love." Mel kissed Makoto's cheek softly and slowly got out of the bed. Mel picked up a pair of her baggy jeans and slipped them on over her boxers. Mel glanced at Makoto one last time and smiled softly. Mel grabbed her pack of cigarettes off the dresser and put them in her back pocket and walked out of the room. Mel walked past a sleeping Ahriman in the hall and went out on to her balcony and leaned against the railing and lit her cigarette. She then turned around and watched the sun continue to rise. When the sun was just right over the water, where the orange and yellow of the rising sun reflected off the still water, Mel felt slender yet muscular arm wrap around her waist. Shortly after the arms wrapped around her, a pair of slender soft lips brushed her neck softly. Mel smiled softly and spoke with her accent. "Morning princess."
Makoto smiled. "Morning ai." Makoto chuckled "What's the big idea watching the sun rise without me."
Mel chuckled. "'ey 'ow did you know I was out 'ere?"
"Ahriman told me."
"You were sleepin' so peaceful I didn't wanna wake ya. Minako-chan called and woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep."
Makoto smiled and held Mel tighter. "I'm really lucky to have you. I was lucky back then and I'm even luckier now. Aishiteru." Makoto sighed softly and rested her head on her lovers shoulder.
Mel smiled warmly and relaxed in her lovers arms. "Ya really think you're lucky? Even after everything that's 'appened?"
Makoto held Mel tighter. "Yea I am lucky to have you. I love you more then anything else in this world. Now stop acting like this."
"Knowing what I am 'ow could you."
"What do mean 'what you are'? You're a caring sensitive hard ass."
Mel chuckled slightly. "'ow can ya over look the fact I'm a demon?"
Makoto spun Mel around in her arms. "I love you for you ai. I don't give a shit that you're a demon ok. You're my world my life my everything. I never would have accepted your ring if the fact that you were a demon bothered me." At that Makoto pressed her lips to Mel's and kissed her long and deep.
Mel kissed Makoto back and picked her up and carried her into the front room and laid her down on the sofa before breaking the kiss. Mel's thick rainbow hair concealed her face. A small tear rolled down her cheek and landed on the waistband of Makoto's flannel pants. Before either one of them could say anything about the tear a soft knock was heard on Mel's door. Mel smiled slightly and got off of Makoto and walked over to the door and wiped the tear off her cheek and opened the door. When she saw the person standing there she smiled softly. "Alana hi what are you doing here?"
The pink haired girl smiled. "Hi Mel-chan is Mako-chan awake?"
"Hai she is please come in." Mel motioned for the girl to come in.
Alana smiled and walked into the loft and went into the front room and saw Makoto lying on the sofa. "Mako-chan..."
Makoto sat up slowly "Alana-chan hi what brings you here."
Alana smiled. "I came over to talk to you about the apartment that you gave me."
Makoto raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter with it?"
"Nothing's the matter with it. I just feel bad not paying you anything for letting me live there."
Makoto smiled and shook her head. "If you really wanna pay me something for it. Just pay me what you can when you can ok. I don't need the money but if it'll make you feel better."
Alana smiled. "Yea it would make me feel better."
Mel chuckled and scratched her bare stomach. "I'm gonna go get a shirt on excuse me fer jus a second." Mel chuckled slightly and walked back to her room and grabbed a wife beater out of her top drawer and put it on as she walked back out to the front room.
Alana smiled. "I really like your tats Mel-chan. specially the dragon on your back."
Mel smirked. "Arigotu, I like your rose myself."
The three girls sat and talked for a while then Makoto's communicator went off. Minako's face appeared on the other side. "Mako-chan you and Mel-chan get to Rei's temple ASAP yoma attack."
Makoto nodded and closed her communicator. "Sorry to cut this convo short but we got a yoma attack at Rei's temple. Mel will you be ok."
Mel nodded. "Yea I'll be ok as Super Nova I can fly. I won't have to set foot on the soil."
"Alright then let's get over to the temple."
The three girls headed over to Rei's temple. When they got there they saw Rei against the wall of her fire shrine. She was tied up with barb wire. Super Nova flew over by Rei and looked at the way the wire was fastened and growled. She looked at Rei and winked. "Ya owe me big fer wha I'm about ta do." At that Super Nova grabbed a hold of the wire and stretched it out enough for Rei to easily slip out of it. Super Nova looked at the palms of her hands and smirked slightly at the red material.
Jupiter walked over and grabbed Super Nova's wrist and turned her arm over. When she saw the red on the gloves she shook her head. "You could have just cut the wire with your sword ya know."
Super Nova chuckled. "Ya I guess so, but where's tha fun in that? Relax angel I'm a demon remember. A minor lil wound like this will be 'ealed in no time."
Before Jupiter could say anything a dark bird like shadow fell upon the sacred ground. Rei quickly transformed as the other's looked up at the yoma. It looked almost prehistoric. It had bat like wings and a long beak. It was maroon in color and had deep black eyes. Super Nova growled and clenched her fists. Blood dripped from her hands. She slowly transformed into Reyu.
Reyu spoke in an emotionless voice. "Kargorok's help maybe needed. Callisto be ready."
Callisto nodded. "You just say the word girl and I'm there."
Reyu nodded and flew up to ground the creature so the other Senshi could fight it. "Demon sword!" Reyu lunged forward with her sword injuring the yoma's right wing. The creature fell to the ground and roared in pain before launching a fury of wind and lightning attacks.
Callisto quickly transformed into Kargorok and unleashed her own fury of wind and lightning attacks. "Venus your chain hurry!"
Venus wasted no time calling her attack. "Venus love me chain entrap!" A gold chain of hearts encircled the creature.
"Jupiter...Thunder...Dragon!" A dragon made of lightning flew forward striking the creature.
"Mars flame sniper." A burning arrow struck the creatures in the chest.
Sailor Moon stepped forward finally. "Enough is enough Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!"
Reyu flew over to Kargorok and thanked her. Reyu then went over to Jupiter and whispered something in her ear before flying up into the air and transforming back into Super Nova. Super Nova winked at Jupiter and landed next to the thunder Senshi. "Dunno bout ya guys but I'm goin ta get sum breakfast." Super Nova detransformed. Mel brushed the black panther fur off her snow camo pants and smiled. "So who's comin with me?" Mel chuckled slightly at the looks she received from the others. "What?"
Minako chuckled. "Nothing Mel it's just after every battle you want food that's all."
Rei smiled. "Ignore her girl I'll go have breakfast with you and Mako-chan."
Makoto looked at her lover and smiled softly. "Breakfast sounds good to me ai. And it's nice of you to wanna go Rei-chan."
A few weeks later Mel and Makoto walked into the loft after racing a charity motocross race that morning, and Ivory met them in the front room. "Hey you two, have fun? And who won? Oh yea Mel this is for you Crystal and Jessie stopped by and left this for you."
Mel raised her left eyebrow and looked at the young chestnut haired girl. "Yea we had fun. Me, Maks, and Haruka tied for first. They stopped by here? They knew where I was hmmmm that's odd oh well. Thanks kiddo. How ya feeling? If you feel better we're meeting the others at the Cafe if you wanna come."
Ivory smiled. "Yea actually I am feeling a little better. If you guys don't mind me tagging along I'll go with ya."
Makoto smiled. "Trust me we don't mind. And besides Hotaru and Chibi-usa will be glad to see you. They asked about you at the race."
Mel stood there reading the letter. When Makoto looked at Mel her mouth was slightly open. She had a look of shock on her face. "Ai what's wrong."
Mel stuttered as she spoke. "C-crystal j-joined the Army and J-jessie and Yaten are getting married and Jessie's pregnant." Mel looked at Makoto. "They l-left me." Mel chuckled slightly. "Guess you guys got the major screws in this deal. We weren't really that close so they aren't screwin me any. But you guys are down two Senshi."
Makoto put a hand on Mel's shoulder. "It's their loss ai. Besides we have you, Ivory and Trinity so we really didn't lose anyone. It does suck though that they left and the manor in which they told you."
Mel looked at Makoto and smiled softly. "Let's just get going shall we."
The three girls pulled up in front of the Cafe about ten minutes later. Makoto and Ivory walked in while Mel sat on the hood of her car and smoked a cigarette. Mel finished and slowly walked into the cafe. She grabbed a chair from an empty nearby table and it turned it around and sat in it backwards and smiled slightly.
"So what's up girl you look agitated?"
"Well Rei-chan Crystal joined the Army and Jessie got knocked up so I'm out my team mates and all my 'partner' Ahriman does anymore is point out where I fuck up so yea I am agitated."
Rei's eye's got wide. "You mean we're out two Senshi?"
Mel sighed and stood up. "No you're out three." Mel put her henshin stick on the table. "Ahriman's right I'm jus a fuck up anyways. And besides Reyu and Enyo are stronger then Super Nova ever will be." Mel walked out of the cafe.
"Melanie-san I know we don't really know each other well but can I please talk to you."
Mel turned around and sat on the hood of her cobra and looked at the younger blue haired girl in front of her and smiled softly. "Sure Ami-chan what's up? And please call me Mel."
Ami blushed softly and walked over and sat next to Mel on her car. "Mel it is then. First of all take this back. You're not quitter and you know it." Ami handed Mel her henshin stick. "Second we all want you to stay. You've been a huge help I mean if it wasn't for you Mako-chan would be dead right now not sitting in there with us. Third if you leave what are we gonna do with Mako-chan hmm? She'll be absolutely horrible to deal with and she'll be unbearable. We'd probably kill her she'd drive us nuts. We like the happy Makoto alot better then we did the miserable one who pretended she was happy. Fourthly..."
Mel cut Ami off. "I get it I get it you guys want me to stay." Mel and Ami chuckled slightly then walked back into the cafe.
Makoto looked at Ami and frowned. "Thanks alot Ami-chan."
Ami shrugged "You wanted her to stay right?"
"Yea I did."
"Then deal with it Mako-chan. It was a last minute excuse"
Mel sat back down in her backwards chair. Haruka and Michiru had walked in via the arcade entrance while Mel was outside with Ami. Haruka walked up behind Mel and mussed her hair playfully. "Hey Mel. Hey why the long face?"
Mel sighed. "Because Crystal joined the Army and Jessie got knocked up and is gettin married. AKA they moved on with their lives sticking you guys with a beat up junkie."
Makoto smacked Mel in the arm. "You're not a fuckin junkie so stop it now."
Haruka raised her right eyebrow. "You're down two team mates huh. Well not to worry Mel you just gained ten more."
"Make that twelve more." Trinity smiled
Mel half smiled. "Thanks you guy. Though I really don't know why you guys believe in me so much."
Usagi smiled. "That's easy Mel. You're our friend and fellow Senshi. And Sailor Senshi always stick together. And we always believe in each other because if we don't believe in one another and trust each other then we wouldn't be as great a team as we are. I mean watching you and Mako-chan, Rei-chan and Ami-chan, and Haruka-san and Michiru-san all fight in sync the way you do really makes me proud. You guys are all super fighters and without you all I honestly think I wouldn't have made it this far. You've all bailed me out of alot of major jams and I thank you all for standing by me all these years and in your case Mel months. You're all the best friends and guardians a person/queen could ever ask for."
Mel blushed softly. "Usagi-chan your words are touching and noble but team work really does take more then trust and belief in each other you know. There is one major factor you are over looking."
Usagi looked at Mel with a confused look on her face. "And what would that be Mel?"
"Love Usagi-chan love. If we didn't love and care about each other in one way or another or have someone we love that makes it all worth fighting for. I mean I think that's why Jessie and Crystal moved on. I mean in one way or another we all accept each other for who they are. I don't think Crys and Jess really ever did accept me. Can't say that I blame them. Being a demon and all."
Makoto reached over and put a hand on her lover's arm. "You're right Mel in one way or another we all accepted each other for who and what they are. So you're no different I mean come on Mel if we can all stand Haru-chan." The younger girl chuckled softly and winked at Haruka who in turn smiled.
Haruka smirked. "Oh ok I see how you are kitten."
Mel chuckled. "Are you comparing me to Haru-chan?"
Michiru smiled. "Yea Mako-chan I doubt anyone's ego could be bigger then Haruka's."
Makoto shook her head. "You all miss the point but it's nice to see you smile again though ai."
The girl's sat there and talked for a few more hours before all going to Mel and Makoto's night club.
Mel walked up to the bar and smiled softly at Logan. "Having fun girl?"
"Yea I guess. Oh so you know my girl is here some where. She's wearing a backwards blue visor and has on cut off denim shorts and a white tank top with a silver bow in her hair."
Mel's jaw dropped. "Does she have two tats on her left arm? A white rose and a blue heart with 'Tiger' in the ribbon?"
"Yea how did you know?"
"Cuz I met her about three weeks ago her name is Alana Aino. Minako's sister."
Logan smiled. "Yea that would be her."
"You know she lives in England right?"
"Used to live there actually. She moved out here"
Mel rolled her eye's "give me a double shot please then give me a bottle of Jack and 12 shot glasses."
Logan smiled. "You got it boss." Logan poured Mel her shot then went and grabbed one of her spare bottles of Jack Daniels and put 12 shot glasses on a try. "There ya go."
Mel slung her shot. "Thanks Logan." Mel pulled out her wallet. "Here's 21 bucks for the bottle and the shot and here's 5 fer your tip. See me on your brake ok."
Logan smiled. "Ok boss."
Mel winked at the chestnut haired girl and took the whiskey and the glasses to the table. "Here ya go guys. Michiru ya want a glass of wine instead of whiskey?"
Michiru smiled. "No its ok Mel I'll drink the whiskey."
Mel nodded. "I'll be right back I have to go find Logan's girl I'll be right back with her." Mel walked away and looked around the club. Finally her eyes rested on the bright pink haired girl in the corner. Mel walked over and draped her arm over her shoulder. The girl that was flirting with her walked away.
"Mel-chan hey what's up?"
"Nothing Alana my sister told me you were here and Minako demanded I find you."
"Your sister?"
"Yea you know her."
"I do?"
"Yea she's your finance."
"L-logan is your sister."
"Yup so you best be good to her ok. But come on lets go have a drink."
Alana smiled. "Yea lets. And I swear I'll good to her. Though she never mentioned a sister."
"More like step sister I'm not related to her at all. Her mom adopted me in New York. It's a long story."
The two girls chuckled and walked back to the table. Minako looked at Mel and Alana funny. "Mel I thought you were going to find Logan's girl not my sister."
"Hai Mina-chan I did. And guess what luck they turned out to be the same person."
Minako's eyes got wide. "NANI?"
"She's right Minako and if you can't handle that to bad."
About a half an hour later Logan walked over to the table. Alana smiled stood up and hugged the slender girl. "What did you want to see me for Mel?"
"Oh no particular reason just to kill you. You could have told me when we showed up at the restaurant she was your girl ya know."
Logan chuckled. "Just because I guessed who you were with doesn't mean I have to tell you who I'm with ya know."
Mel put the younger girl in a headlock playfully and mussed her hair. "As your older sister I demand to be kept in the loop got it." Mel chuckled and released Logan. "So there guess I told you huh."
Logan chuckled. "Yea I guess you did. You really are a lug you know that. I gotta get back do me a favor though will ya."
"Sure what Logan?"
"Take care of yourself out there ok. I know you and your friends are the Sailor Senshi and I know Alana is too and knowing you're out there with her makes it a little bit easier to fall asleep at night."
Mel hugged Logan. "You got it girl."
Makoto and Mel walked into the loft. Mel stretched and looked at the clock on the wall. "Damn 2:45am you think I would be tired or summin huh." Mel chuckled and smiled at Makoto.
Makoto smiled and winked at Mel. "I know that look Mel and you're horrible for using it cuz you know I can't say no to it."
Mel smirked. "Yea I know I'm horrible but hey you can always say no I don't care."
Makoto winked and walked over to Mel and kissed her deeply. "Fine I think I'll say no. I'm goin to bed ai I'm beat."
Mel chuckled. "Fine be that way Oyasumi angel." Mel kissed Makoto softly and walked to the back room and turned on the light. Mel pulled the cover off of her 8 foot pool table and ran her hand along the black oak. The legs were carved into Chinese dragons. Along the sides were Chinese dragons and instead of diamonds there were jade symbols. The felt was white. Mel looked at her wall rack and racked her set of marble looking balls. Mel then took her stick off the rack and broke. Makoto walked back to the room and leaned on the door jam and watched Mel shoot.
"Damn ai you actually look like you know what you're doing."
Mel chuckled and sank the 8 ball then looked at Makoto. "What? You think you can shoot better?"
Makoto shook her head. "Um actually ai no I don't because I suck at that game."
Mel put the stick back on the rack and walked over by Makoto and pulled her close and kissed her deeply. Mel picked Makoto up and set her on the pool table. "Guess you changed your mind about playing huh."
Makoto chuckled. "Yea guess I did huh."
Mel smirked and slowly unbuttoned the cut off shorts Makoto was wearing. Mel grabbed the bottom of the hunter green spaghetti strap shirt Makoto was wearing and pulled it up over Makoto's head. Makoto shook her head and smiled softly down at Mel. Mel in turn playfully kissed Makoto's neck flicking the pulse spot with her tongue then nibbling softly on her ear. Makoto slid off the table into her lover's arms and Mel kissed her deeply. Mel lifted Makoto back up onto the pool table and slowly began to pet her softly. Makoto whimpered softly into the kiss. As Mel moved soft kisses down Makoto's neck Makoto's eye's opened wide and she grabbed Mel's hand and brought it up to her waist. Mel chuckled slightly. "Now what's the matter angel?"
Makoto smiled softly and blushed heavily. "Um the fact that Ivory is in the door way."
Mel looked and saw Ivory standing with her back towards them. Mel chuckled slightly and took her shirt off and handed it to Makoto. "It's ok to turn around now Ivory. Wuz up its 3:15 in the morning."
Ivory slowly turned around. Her face was beet red. "I-I I'm so totally sorry you two. I heard you guys come in a-a-and then I heard the sound of you guys playing pool and thought it would be safe to wander in and say hi. I'm really, really sorry Mako-chan, and Mel I d-didn't mean to interrupt anything honest."
Makoto cut the young girl off. "You don't have to apologize Ivory its ok you had no idea what Mel and I were doing." Makoto got off the pool table and untwisted the pair of boxers she was wearing and walked over to Ivory and hugged her. After releasing her Makoto smiled down at the younger girl. "What do you to say that we call it a night huh."
Mel and Ivory nodded their agreement. Makoto mussed the younger girl's hair as she walked out of the room. Mel put her hand on Ivory's shoulder. "Hey Ivory." Ivory looked at Mel and smiled softly. "Ivory I'm the one that should be sorry not you. I'm so used to living alone that I haven't gotten used to you or Makoto being here. I know it's been about a year now and I shouldn't be acting the way I am. I am truly sorry Ivory."
Ivory looked at Mel and smiled softly. "You'll just have to make it up to me by cooking breakfast when you wake up. It's ok though Mel it was bound to happen one day right? And sides I'm a big girl I can handle seeing Mako-chan topless. I'll just have to make more noise when I sneak up on you."
Mel chuckled softly and mussed the younger girl's hair. "I think I can handle makin you breakfast when I wake up. More noise would be good. Or you can jus call me on the communicator." Mel chuckled and her and Ivory walked out of the room.
Mel walked into her and Makoto's room and saw the bed empty except for Ahriman curled up in the middle of the bed. Mel chuckled and shook her head. She had just takin her boots off when she heard the water turn on in the shower. Mel smirked and took her socks off and walked into the bathroom quietly. Through the black shower curtain Makoto couldn't see Mel. Mel took her jeans, bra and boxers off and got in the shower behind Makoto. Mel smiled and wrapped her arms around Makoto's toned slender waist. "Mind if I join you angel?"
Makoto smiled and turned in her lover's arms and kissed Mel deeply. "No ai I don't mind." Makoto kissed Mel again and let the water hit her in the middle of the back.
Mel slowly backed Makoto against the wall kissing her deeply. Her right hand holding Makoto close to her, her left she ran down Makoto's side. When Mel reached her waist she slid her hand between her and Makoto and pet the younger girl softly. Makoto moaned softly into the kiss. Mel slowly slipped two fingers into her young lover and gently and slowly brought the younger girl into a pant. Makoto wrapped her arms around her lover as she felt her legs start to give. Mel trailed kisses down her lover's wet body and replaced her fingers with her tongue. Makoto moaned and Mel replaced her tongue with her fingers and kissed Makoto deeply to silence her moans. Makoto bit into Mel's shoulder and dug her nails into Mel's back as she rode the waves of her climax. Makoto's legs finally gave out and she slowly fell to her knees. With what strength she had left she leaned in and wrapped her arms around her rainbow haired warrior and nuzzled her neck. Mel smiled softly and shut the water off. "Are you ok angel?" Makoto nodded. "Ok well stand up ok. Here I'll help ya." Mel wrapped her arms around Makoto's waist and her and Makoto stood up. Mel leaned over and grabbed the towels off the rack. She handed one to Makoto and wrapped the other one around herself. After Makoto wrapped herself in the towel Mel smiled and picked Makoto up holding the muscular girl. Mel put her left arm under Makoto's knees and her right supported her neck.
Makoto rested her head on Mel's chest and talked softly as Mel carried her into the bedroom. "Aishiteru Mel."
Mel smiled. "Aishiteru angel."
When the two girls walked into the bedroom Ahriman looked up and perked her ears slightly. "What's the matter with Makoto?"
Mel winked at the demon panther and smirked. "Its 4am she's pretty beat. What I just did to her in the shower is the reason I'm carrying her."
Ahriman whimpered slightly. "I really didn't need to hear that Mel really. I'll go and let you get your pjs on and do whatever with Makoto. I'll be back." Ahriman hopped off the bed and walked down the hall to Ivory's room. Ahriman peeked in and saw the young girl smile at her. "Ivory what are you still doing awake?"
Ivory slowly sat up. "Walked in on Mel and Makoto in the game room and haven't fallen asleep yet."
"I see well they are finally in bed so get some sleep little one. Try to forget what you saw." Ahriman purred slightly as she walked out of the room.
Mel yawned and stretched and kissed the top of Makoto's head. "Damn it's past noon." Mel looked down and smiled at the girl sleeping on her chest. Mel lightly brushed the hair from Makoto's cheek and smiled when she saw Makoto open her bright emerald eyes. Makoto smiled up at her warrior. "Morning ai."
Mel smiled. "Try afternoon angel. It's 12:30."
Makoto sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Mel stood up and stretched. As she stretched she rolled her shoulders and spread her black wings. Mel rolled her shoulders again and her demon wings were gone. Makoto closed her eyes then opened them again. "Did you just have wings?"
"Yea angel I did. I told you I was a demon you didn't believe me?"
Makoto blinked a few times. "I believed you Mel. Its just you never had your wings outside Senshi slash Reyu form before. At least not that I've seen."
Mel put a hand on the back of her neck and half smiled. "No I guess I never did huh. Sorry if it bothers you angel, but every now and then I so need to stretch them." Mel turned around and picked up her shirt off the chair in her corner. She was about to put it on when she felt a hand run down her back.
"So that's what these two scars are from." Makoto's voice was soft as she traced the small trail of blood down Mel's back.
Mel frowned and looked at Makoto over her shoulder. She was just about to say something when there came a knock on the door. Makoto quickly grabbed a tee shirt and a pair of boxers out of the clean laundry bushel and put them on. "Yea come in." Mel watched as the door opened slowly.
Ahriman walked in and purred up against Mel's leg. Ivory soon walked in. "Mel, Mako-chan you guys gotta do me the world's biggest favor."
Mel raised her left eyebrow. "Depends on what it is."
Ivory blushed slightly. "Well it's my turn to have study group at my place. Everyone is here so I need you to act like buds not lovers."
Makoto smiled. "I think we can handle that." Makoto stretched. "I so need a cup of coffee."
Mel chuckled. "Yea me too lets go." Mel buttoned her baggy jeans and put her combat boots on. She grabbed a white muscle shirt and put it on as she walked down the hall.
Ivory looked at Mel and Makoto walk down the hall as they passed Ivory and her group of friends Mel winked. Ivory hung her head. "Mel knock that off!" Ivory sighed then looked at her friends "Gomen ne my sister is a horrible flirt. And DON'T even think about hitting on her Thomas. Let's just go in the kitchen and study."
Mel stole a quick kiss from Makoto before the group of kids walked in. "So Ivory what's the plans for today? I mean after you're done with whatever it is your doing right now."
Ivory groaned. "Look I don't know ok. Why don't you and Mako-chan go have a cigarette or summin and just leave me alone Mel."
Mel raised an eyebrow and looked at Ivory funny. "What the hell is up with you?"
Ivory glared at Mel. "Like you really have to ask. Think about it ok."
Makoto looked at Ivory funny then looked at Mel and motioned for them to leave. "Let's leave her alone. I think I know what her problem is."
Mel huffed. "Glad one of us fuckin does."
The two girls walked out of the kitchen and out onto the balcony where Ahriman sat sunning herself in the warm spring sun. Mel pulled her pack of cigarettes out of her pocket and handed one to Makoto. "Damn talk about pissy. Guess we really did piss her off last night."
Ahriman perked her ears and looked at Mel her tail wagging ever so lightly. "It's an act you dolt. All little sisters are mean to their older ones. Just play along. Tease her or throw her over your shoulder like you do Makoto."
Makoto smirked. "Just leave me on the ground ai."
Mel smirked and kissed Makoto sweetly. "Oi if ya say so princess. You're the boss."
Makoto smiled at the accent Mel used. "I really did miss hearing you talk like that you know."
Mel went to say something but was cut off by a knock on the door. Mel, Makoto and Ahriman walked to the door. When Mel opened the door Makoto gasped and stepped back. Before her stood a slender woman of about 5 foot 8. Her long thick brunette hair sat freely on her shoulder's. Her sea green eyes burned into Makoto's bright emerald ones. She was wearing a thigh length black skirt and a sleeveless white top. Mel looked at the woman and her mouth fell open slightly. "C-can I h-h-help you?"
The woman smiled warmly. "Yes Melanie you can. I came here to warn you and Makoto. Do you have somewhere where we can talk?"
Mel nodded and the three walked back to Mel's room. Mel was standing in front of Makoto as she spoke. "Before ya say a word I'm not fighting in no damn war on Jupiter. 'er father separated us once 'e won't do it again." Mel accent was present and very strong. Her features turned cold and her face was void of all emotion.
Makoto put a hand on Mel's shoulder. Mel never took her cold stare off of the woman. Makoto looked at her lover and spoke softly. "Ai."
The woman looked at Mel and smiled softly. "That's good to hear that you won't leave my Makoto to fight on a planet she's not even on anymore. I came here to warn you that your step father and Makoto's father are looking for you. Melanie your stepfather sent Empress Rogue out to find you and kill you. Along with Makoto."
"Yea she's been 'ere. I killed 'er"
Makoto walked up and stood next to Mel and looked at the woman with wet eyes and spoke softly. "O-okasa."
"Hai little one it's me. You might have lost your earth parents but not me."
Makoto threw herself into her mother's arms and cried softly. Queen Europa smiled softly at Makoto. "Don't cry little one you are finally free to be with Melanie. It's nice to see you haven't changed one bit." The slender woman wrapped her arms around her daughter. "I really must be going now before they realize I'm not on Venus at the summit committee meeting. Take care little one I'll see you again soon." The older woman kissed the top of Makoto's head softly.
