Rei looked at the guy lying on the ground and then looked at her girlfriend who had blood in the corner of her mouth and a bloody nose and jumped up out of the sand and ran to Makoto's side. "Mako-chan…"
Before Makoto could say anything Amaya came running back soaking wet and clutching the stick Rei threw her. She shook off getting the four girls wet causing them to chuckle. Michiru looked a little worried. "Maybe we should go." Makoto nodded and the group of Senshi went back to Makoto's.
Haruka looked at Makoto and every now and then the muscles in Makoto's arms would twitch. "Mako-chan can I talk to you for a minute?"
Makoto looked over at Haruka and nodded. "Hai I need a cigarette anyways."
Haruka blinked. "Since when do you smoke Mako-chan?"
Makoto laughed. "Since before I met you guys, but after getting my heart served to me on a silver platter I don't care if you guys know I smoke."
Haruka watched Makoto put her back against her railing and light a cigarette and sighed. "Minako is the reason you have been acting so cold and Rei is the reason you have your fire back in battle. Mako-chan you know I'm always here if you need someone to talk to right? I mean ever since I saw your strength in battle I've looked at you as an outer Senshi."
Makoto took the last drags of her cigarette and looked in the usually cold slate eyes of Haruka and flipped the butt behind her and spoke softly. "Thanks Haru-chan." Makoto hung her head and took a few deep breaths. "Yea Minako is the reason I been so cold, and hai Rei is why I got my fire back so to speak."
Makoto hung her head as tear ran down Makoto's cheek. Haruka took a step towards Makoto to comfort her when Michiru and Rei came running onto the deck. "Yoma attack."
Haruka sighed. "Never fails…"
