Chapter Three

Makoto picked up her communicator as soon as it went off. She looked at clock to see it was early in the morning and wondering what was going on in which they would call her this early in the morning. She looked at her friend's face that had been with her during Indigo's birth.

"Yes Minako," said Makoto, groggy and tired. She kept her voice down in hopes of making sure that Indigo wouldn't awaken.

"I have some bad news Mako," said Minako. "It seems that someone has crossed to where you are in hopes of starting up trouble. They are from the Negamoon family and I'm not sure what's going to happen. I hope that you are careful and look out for someone that you might notice to be of the negamoon."

"I will Minako, don't worry. Everything is going to be fine," replied Makoto. Minako gave her a bright smile.

"Hope things are going great. How is your vacation?" she asked.

"It's alright. Quatre has managed to get me to stay here instead of in my hotel. Who knows what he is planning," she said. Minako agreed

"I'll let you get your rest, I'm sure you're going to need it for that bundle of yourself," said Minako. Makoto just laughed and nodded, shutting her communicator off. With a sigh, she looked at the clock once again. It was around 4 and the normal time for her feeding. Curiously, she turned on the light to watch it softly glow towards the crib. Slowly, she moved up and peered over; the horror filling her face...Indigo was gone...

Wufei sat downstairs, holding the child that was looking up at him with large eyes. It was rather odd that Makoto didn't awake at the stifling cries. He let out a sigh, while thinking about the life him and his wife could have had together but now there was no longer a possibility of that ever happening. For now, he could just hold and look at Makoto's child like it was his own. Perhaps, if he played his cards right who knew how things could turn out. He knew that Makoto had some friends where she lived but would they be interested in them?

He looked up from the rocking chair to see Makoto standing there, relief quickly washing over her face as she saw him holding the child. Indigo sensed Makoto in the room and gave a cry.

"I'm here baby," she said, gently picking up her daughter. "You put me in a real scare."

"How's that?" asked Wufei.

"I just received a call from my friend Minako and it seems that someone is coming after me in this place. Who knows who it is put I thought they might have snuck in and took her," said Makoto. Wufei rose a brow. He knew there was some sort of technology to get over here but how would someone else be able to follow her? Was there something she was hiding from them? "Everything's going to be alright though. I know they're not going to be able to find me."

Wufei nodded. He knew that if they did find her and tried to hurt the babe, there would be only pain for them. All of the men in th house, he was sure of, would do anything to protect the innocent child.

"Is there something you're hiding from us Makoto? I know that you are able to do things that others can't but how do you really move from one era to another?" he asked. Makoto just smiled at him.

"I really don't want to reveal that much of my past Wufei. I'm sure you have your logical suspicious of what or who I am...perhaps some other time? It's Indigo's feeding time," she said. Wufei nodded in agreement and watched her leave the room with a rose brow. Who or what she was? Did she come from some place were there were witches or magic? He wasn't sure as the wonderment continued to fill his mind as he sat there, looking over at his scotch on the rocks. It would a warm feeling that moved down his throat as he slowly drank from it. Perhaps one day...they would all know.

Makoto sat at a local café with Indigo sitting in her stroller beside her. It had been a lovely day for a walk and time to get away from the house that seemed to be preparing for a mission that had been called upon. It seemed that Relena was in the hospital due to an assassination attempt after Hiiro and Trowa had left. Indigo let out a squeal of excitement as Makoto gently tickled her toes and then gave her the awaited pacifier. With a smile still on her face, Makoto gently touched her child's face and turned to see a man standing next to her table.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" he asked, his suave voice triggering a memory in her head that she didn't remember well. She nodded and moved her purse over to the other side of her.

"No problem," she said with a smile. He nodded and took a seat next to her as the waiter came over with his order. She could tell he had placed it in before hand and then just needed a place to sit. His dark pools looked up at her a sparkled for a moment as they softened to look at the child wagging her rattle.

"She's beautiful," he said, "How old is she?"

"Just about a month," said Makoto. He seemed surprised by her answer.

"She is very lively for only be a month," he replied, a sly smile over his lips. Makoto just shrugged and smiled down at her daughter once more.

"Who knows who she gets it from," she said. She watched him laugh, his blue eyes sparkling as he looked at her.

"I see you're not wearing a ring...are you seeing anyone?" he asked. Makoto felt the blush move up her cheeks. She was amazed at how many men seemed to use the child to get a pick-up line out. She knew she was beautiful, and could get a man without a child but it seemed to make her happy that there were so many men that seemed to like the idea of a woman already having a child.

"No I am not," she said, producing another smile. He brushed his long waved locks over his shoulder and leaned forward, his soft blue button-up pressing against his muscular chest. Something about his wasn't right, and she could feel it but she was still trying to remember who this man was sitting in front of her. Even though there was a suspicion in mind, she was going to get to know him in order to remember who he was.

"That's wonderful," he said, the smile still over his face. "Are you free tonight?"

Makoto smiled. She was always free. Every night. But not from her child. If she was going anywhere with this man, that meant she was going to have to find someone to watch her daughter. But, they were going on a mission soon. That meant any activity with this man was going to have to wait and during that time she was going to be looking up information on him...at least asking Ami about it or at least Setsuna.

"I'm sorry, the friends I am staying with are leaving. Perhaps some other time?" she asked. He nodded.

"What is your name Miss?" he asked.

"Kino, Makoto," she said, producing a hand. Gently, he brought it up to his lips and kissed it gingerly.

"I look forward to meeting you again," he said, moving to his feet.

"And your name?" asked Makoto.

"Maxfield. Maxfield Stanton."

AN: For all of those that are Sailor Moon fans and have seen the Anime, I'm sure you know this name well : )
