The Object of Her Affection
Hi minna! This is my first fic so please be nice! The better summary:

Disclaimer: I still don't own Sailor Moon! If I did then I wouldn't have made the fanfic, the fifth season would have aired in the U.S., the series would still continue, and you wouldn't be reading the fanfic all together!

Chapter Five: The Reunion
Present
"A rematch?" Makoto answered for him. "Precisely. Now transform so we can begin," he replied.
Makoto found her henshin stick in the wreckage. Rei looked at her with a mix of surprise and anger. "You aren't seriously going to fight him, are you?" she asked.
Makoto nodded. "What choice do I have?" Just then, Setsuna came in. "Makoto, don't! Your wounds still need time to heal!" she exclaimed. "Sorry, Sets, I have to. Jupiter Crystal Power, Make Up," Makoto whispered, so no one would come to see what the yelling was about.
Jupiter gracefully jumped through the hole in the wall and landed on the front grounds of the hospital. Suddenly, Sailor Mars jumped in between the two. "No, Mako-chan, don't fight him! Listen to Setsuna!" she exclaimed.
"No. Don't worry about me. I'll live," Jupiter said with a smile. "Not if I have anything to say about it. Now get out the way," Shinji said impatiently. Reluctantly, she moved from the middle. Then she took out her communicator.
First, she called Minako. "Yeah, Rei-chan?" she asked. "Mako-chan is fighting that Shinji guy again. Sets and I have tried to reason with her but she wouldn't listen. Call everyone and tell them to get down here," Rei ordered.
"Alright. In the meantime, make sure Mako-chan doesn't get seriously injured again," Minako ordered. "I'm sure she's tired of being in the hospital already." Rei nodded. "Mars out."
Meanwhile, Jupiter and Shinji started their battle. She charged up to him and let loose a flurry of punches. He easily blocked each one, which made her push harder. After getting fed up with failing her attempt, she switched to a high kick, hoping to catch him off guard. Unfortunately, that failed, too. He easily blocked the kick like a punch.
"Is that all you got?" he teased. Then he gave her a devilish smirk. "Little girl?" Jupiter growled menacingly. The mark of Jupiter glowed fiercely on her forehead.
"Yeah, that's right. Get angry. I want to see what this little girl can do!" Shinji exclaimed with pure excitement. "Jupiter, calm down!" Mars screamed out to her. Something told her that someone wouldn't walk out of this alive.
Jupiter predictably ignored her, preparing for another attack. "SUPREME THUNDER…DRAGON!" she yelled at the top of her lungs. A dragon larger than the last raced towards Shinji. "Yes, that's it! That's what I want to see!" he exclaimed. He stood where he was, frozen in amazement.
Finally, the dragon hit Shinji and left smoke to float around the area. People who watched in amazement applauded at a panting Jupiter. As the smoke cleared, Shinji was kneeling.
"What?" Mars exclaimed in shock. "How did he survive? He didn't have an energy shield up or anything!" His top half was destroyed, which left him shirtless. His bottom half was barely marked.
The applauding quickly subsided. Jupiter, however, wasn't fazed. Her mark was still glowing bright. "That's exactly what I want to see from my opponents. Do it again!" Shinji commanded.
"SUPREME THUNDER…"
"Don't let him get to you, Mako-chan! If you listen to him, you could die!" Mars screamed. "DRAGON!" Another dragon raced towards Shinji and hit him.
Jupiter fell to the ground in exhaustion and the mark disappeared. Mars ran by her side. She felt for a pulse. It was faint. Then she noticed her back was bleeding freely. Shinji walked up to her with a sword in hand. He was about to strike when he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. He dropped his sword and grabbed his right shoulder. He looked in all directions but found no one. He finally looked in the Senshi's direction.
A young man around the age of eighteen walked up to them. He wore what looked like Endymion's armor but instead wore a vest that covered his bare chest; it was green with blackish highlights, and without the cape.
The mysterious person kneeled to Jupiter and put his hand to her stomach. At his touch, she stopped bleeding. Not only that, but her back healed completely! "I'll take over from here, okay?" he whispered in her ear. Mars looked on in confusion, wondering who he was and where he came from. "Who are you!" Shinji shouted. The man turned around and materialized a sword. He took a battle stance. "Your new opponent," he answered calmly.
Just then, the rest of the Senshi and Tuxedo Kamen arrived. "Mako-chan!" Venus exclaimed as he ran to her side. "She's okay, she's just resting," Mars explained when she saw the look on her face. She nodded and looked to the men who started the fight.
The other Senshi and Tuxedo Kamen crowded around the three girls. "Is she alright?" Tuxedo asked. The Mars nodded as she watched the two men battle. Then when Venus saw the face of the man, she gasped. All heads turned to her. "Who is he?" Sailor Moon asked. Tuxedo saw his face and gave him a hated look.
During the battle, the man looked at Tuxedo. "You better have been a good boy while I was away, Endymion," he said, sounding as hateful as he looked. Shinji took this as an opportunity to strike. The man noticed what he was going and quickly dodged the attack. He maneuvered himself so he could cut Shinji in the stomach. Ultimately, his plan worked, causing Shinji stumbled backwards. "You haven't seen the last of me," he said as he disappeared. Then thunderous applause erupted from the people who watched from the holes in the walls. The clapping fazed no one.
The man walked up to Jupiter and put her on his back. "What are you doing? Give her back!" Moon pleaded. The man faced her. "I'm not going anywhere," he said as he walked off. He then jumped on to the building in a single bound.
The Senshi and Tuxedo jumped behind him. They saw him at the opposite side of them with a now detransformed Jupiter's head on his lap. He had a locket that was shaped like a green lightning bolt. He was singing her a lullaby while stroking her hair. The Senshi looked on in silence, wondering how this guy could just take their friend and act all friendly. For all they knew, he could be a spy of the enemy!
After his lullaby was over, Venus detransformed and walked up to the stranger. "Ah, Minako-chan! Very long time, no see, huh?" he said as he looked up. Minako nodded. "Heh! Funny how you're the only one who remembers me," he said with a laugh. "I repeat: Who are you?" Usagi asked.
"Until you guys remember my real name, you can call me the Prince." Everyone looked at him with a confused expression. "What do mean? Mamoru's the prince. Hell, he's going to be king," Haruka said. The Prince shook his head. "I don't mean the prince of Earth, even though I'd make a better prince than flower boy over here," he quipped as he looked at Mamoru with hateful eyes. "Are you trying to pick a fight?" Mamoru asked. "As much as I'd love to kick your ass to oblivion and back, I promised someone that I'd let them do it," the Prince sighed. "And who would that be?" Mamoru asked. The Prince grinned and looked out into the distance and shrugged. "You'll figure it out over time."
Just then, Makoto began to stir in the Prince's lap. She let out a yawn and rubbed her eyes. "I've never expelled so much energy like that before," she muttered. "And you shouldn't do it again, baka!" the Prince scolded her. "You had everyone worried." Makoto laughed and apologized. Then, his vest caught her attention. It had a crescent moon on one side of the vest while everyone else's symbol was on the other side. However, the symbols of Venus, Pluto, and Saturn were missing.
"What's with the vest?" she asked. Suddenly, the Prince burst into laughter. "Sorry I asked," Makoto mumbled as she covered her ears. "Dammit, why are you so loud?"
"Actually, I think it's just you, Makoto."
"For once, I'll have to agree."
Makoto turned her head to the source of the new voices. The others turned around and found two cats. "So much for the support," Makoto sighed as she rolled her eyes. The two cats walked to her. "It's nice to see you, too, Mako-chan," the female cat said sarcastically.
The male cat jumped lightly on Makoto's stomach. She scratched him behind the ears. "Hi, Leo and Akari," Minako greeted with a smile. "At least someone remembers," Akari mumbled as she jumped into her arms. "At least, I'm sure no one's changed, especially Usa," Leo purred. Then Usagi's stomach growled. She blushed as everyone smiled. "Apparently not."
Well, that was the newest installment of TOHA! I hate school with a passion! I just got back today and I'm already stressed out! Sorry about that outburst. Til next time
