Angel
The disclaimer took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.
Sorry it took so long to get up but I'll skip all that and get straight to this chapter
Angel Chapter 7
speaking within your own head.
"Ami? Ami Chan."
Ami felt herself drift back to consciousness as Makoto's sweet voice broke into the dream she was having. "...Oh Mako Chan where am I?"
Makoto scooted closer to her confused friend. "Are you alright Ami? We're still in the green room your last show just ended you went to grab a bottle of water and then you just passed out on me! I was so nervous I almost called your mother even."
Ami blushed a touch at the panic she had caused to her close friend. "Why didn't you call her?"
"I asked her not to." A very familiar voice replied coming in the door to the green room with a cool cloth. It took Ami a moment but then she smiled.
"Luna thank you so much…I'm curious though."
"What is it my dear?" Luna asked laying the cloth on Ami's brow. She had taken her red wig off when she checked her for a fever.
Ami gently laid back the coolness over her eyes as she pondered how best to phrase her question. After a few seconds she bit the bullet. "Where is Dennis? I was certain I would see him today. However it has been three shows and I haven't once heard his voice even to say 'Angel! Baby!"
Luna took a few moments to compose herself. "I made him a how do you say silent partner. If he interferes in any way with your life music or otherwise, he loses his cut of the proceeds. I hope this will keep him away. I have a few doubts however."
Ami winces at the word doubts. "What do I do for now?" She began to relax as she almost melts into the couch. She was begging to feel…At ease in her zone.
"Well I suggest you and Makoto get an early dinner you need to eat." Luna smiles "Besides you both have school in the morning."
Ami giggled as Makoto let out a mournful noise. "I know Mako Chan let's go to a ramen shop."
Makoto seems to perk up a little bit. "Any kind of ramen I want?"
"Any kind and if we have enough time we'll stop at the bakery for a few pieces of cherry pie. Ami giggles as Makoto begins to swoon as the mention of one of her favorite foods.
Luna rolls her eyes at her charges. "Well if you're planning all that I suggest you get going."
Makoto quickly jumped up and grabbed her coat while Ami carefully secured her wig in her back pack and gathered the three outfits she had worn that day. On the tags she quickly wrote Angel on them then added them as well to her backpack before finally grabbing her guitar. "Come on Mako lets slip through the back. If we don't I'll never get out of here and that means no cherry pie."
Makoto quickly grabbed her own things and followed Ami out the back and stared in horror at the crowd of teenagers waiting outside for even a glimpse of Angel. She studied the crowd intently for a moment to try and discern if anyone they knew was in it. After a few moments however she felt a tug on her right hand and looked down to see Ami staring up at her concern on her face.
"Are you ok? Is it the…the crowds I mean can you handle this?"
Makoto couldn't help but smile at the cute way Ami bit her bottom lip when she was worried. 'I'm fine I was just making sure Usagi or Minako wasn't in that crowd. I know for a fact they need to study."
Ami laughs "Don't worry at this moment they are 12 blocks away following a red haired girl exactly my height."
Makoto blinked without even thinking about it. "How in the world did you manage that?"
Ami grins. "Now Mako Chan I'm not going to spill all my secrets all at once now come on there's a good will drop off box right down this way." She opens the drop box and dumps the outfits she wore on stage inside. Seeing Makoto's confusion Ami smiled. "See the clothes they insist I wear on stage really aren't er my style Therefore I sign them with my autograph and drop them in the good will drop off which ever city I am in. I see it this way in a week or so some girl our age is going to get quite a treat for a new outfit."
Makoto nodded and waited as Ami finished her donation then followed her. Soon she noticed that Ami had slowed her stride and was now walking beside her.
Ami felt her breath catch as she considered if it was a good time. Ok Ami think you've known Makoto for years she's completely boy crazy don't ruin this don't ruin! Ami looked down at the ground as she felt her slim hand carefully slip into Makoto's
Makoto felt Ami's slim hand slide into her own Makoto sighed Well it's about time… She carefully and gently squeezed the slim hand within her own.
Ohmygod shes holding my hand she's holding my hand what do I do? Ami looked up at Makoto to see a soft blush on her cheeks "So um Ramen?"
Makoto nods as they walk to the ramen shop hand in hand letting go with a sigh right before they walk into the Ramen shop.
Ami smiles "Let's find a table?"
Makoto nods already she was missing the slim hand which she had been getting accustomed to. In just those few moments she felt as if everything had changed.
They sat down at the table and studied the menu. Ami licked her lips looking at the multiple options all delicious.
A waitress comes over with glasses of water "Welcome may I get you young ladies something to drink?"
Ami orders a strawberry drink while Makoto orders a cola. Within a few minutes the waitress returns with their drinks and takes their orders. Ami ordering A fish ramen while Makoto a more normal beef.
Ami happily sips her strawberry drink as she looks at Makoto trying to decide just what to say. Let's see…I really loved holding your hand let's do it more often? No… That sounds so stupid… Mako I saw you took my hand and really liked it! ...No… Mako I love you take me home and ravish my young nubile body! ... Whoa Ami heel!
Makoto watched the different expressions in Ami's eyes as they waited for their ramen. What is she thinking about? I don't think it's an equation… However I have been wrong before… Oh good food!
The waitress set the large bowls of ramen down on the table and left them to enjoy. After a few moments of slurping Ami looked up "Mako…?"
Makoto almost choked hearing the tentative voice coming from Ami. However she was able to swallow without coughing and smiled "what is it Ami Chan?"
Ami licked her top lip. "Mako Chan when I was holding your hand I felt…Amazing. I didn't want to say anything because…I well I don't want to lose you as a friend but I…"
Makoto gently covered Ami's lips with her index finger. "It's ok Ami… I feel the same."
Ami felt herself almost begin to melt. The same… She feels the same!
Makoto removed her finger after feeling the slightest of a kiss upon it. "Now let's finish our ramen you promised me cherry pie after all!"
Ami grinned happily and nods "As you wish my Mako Chan!"
Within 20 minutes Ami had paid for the giant bowls of ramen and they walked out to search for a bakery. Slowly Ami slipped her hand back into Makoto's and almost sang when she felt Makoto squeeze her hand in return.
Several blocks later they spotted a very familiar sports car Ami grinned as the sports car stopped and the driver lowered her sunglasses. "Hello my kittens where are you both going this fine evening." Haruka got a almost cat like grin when she saw they were holding hands Well well well I guess Michi owes me that massage after all! Mmmm michi massage…
"Oh well we were looking for a bakery which makes a good cherry pie. I promised Mako Chan a slice for all her help."
Haruka stroked her chin thinking 'Get in my kittens I know a great place across town heck I can grab something for Michi Suna and myself." She unlocks the passenger seat. "Hop in the back you two!"
Ami looked at Makoto and shrugged. "Well we don't seem to be able to find anything here do we Mako?"
Makoto shakes her head and they both climb into the back seat and buckle up.
Haruka pulled her sunglasses back on and turned the radio on as they headed to the other side of town "Already on the radio Kitten. Although they are also playing Michi so it's nice. I wonder though what your fans would think if they knew who that song was directed at."
Ami rushed her blue hair out of her eyes as the wind whipped by. "You mean Usagi Chan? Yes it was directed to her. I'll have to tell her that one day."
Haruka nodded as they parked in a parking lot "Here we are kittens! Best bakery in Tokyo Everyone out!"
Not long after they were carrying bags back to the car Haruka let them back in then grinned in her catty way. "so my kittens where to now? Paris? England? Ami's condo?"
Ami giggled "That last one if you don't mind school in the morning and I am beat!"
Makoto bites her lip just a touch "I guess I'll go home then."
Ami takes her hand firmly "No… stay the night I've got to make sure you'll wake up after all!"
Makoto smiled. "Alright I'll stay."
Ayami looked up as the door opened. "Welcome home baby! Oh hello Makoto San are you staying the night?"
Makoto looked into Ami's eyes and then smiled at Ayami. "I guess I am yes Ma'am."
Ayami smiled peacefully. "Well young ladies I'm going to bed I have to be at the hospital by five am, so goodnight." She stood up closing her book and kissed Ami on the forehead.
Less than a half hour later Ami came into the living room to see Makoto making up a bed on the couch. "What are you doing Mako?"
Makoto looked up at Ami who looked absolutely stunning her blue hair was brushed till it almost sparkled in the light of the lamp the silk nightie she was wearing was simple but showed off all her curves "Oh uh I was uh… making my bed?" Makoto said a bit breathless.
Ami shook her head and gently took Makoto's hand and led her to her own room. Not long after she cuddled up to Makoto and shut her eyes in happiness and peace.
Ayami looked in on them before she left for the Hospital and smiled at the image she saw. "Well Ami… It's about time."
She then walked over and kissed her brow before leaving the house locking the door with a slight click as the two teens slept on in total bliss.
