Chapter One
AN: This is my answer to Sango's IY/SM challenge, hope you enjoy
“I really loved you, but you're not here
My first love is over…”
Ami Mizuno sighed as she stood in the darkened room holding a sheet against her body. She was still trying to fathom exactly what possessed her to do something so bold, so provocative, so not her. This was ridiculous. For her part she could not help but giggle at her brazen behavior, the others would be shocked especially Mina. The blonde was always telling her to go for it when it came to love and now she was taking her advice.
Of course Mina's encouragement was not the only factor that was pushing her to make this move. It all started out rather innocently when she went along with the others, per Lita's request, to see a fortune teller. Divination had never been her thing she held no stock in it. Give her cold hard facts and data any day! But this time was different, even Rei seemed amazed at the woman's prowess for foresight and the entire group left quite thoughtful after their sessions. “You've been burden by a secret love,” the fortune teller said while looking through tea leaves.
“What girl like me is not?” Ami asked disdain creeping into her voice. The woman would have to do better than stating stereotypes.
“Ah, you are a non-believer?”
Ami shook her head. She was fairly sure what type of speech was next and would cut off at the pass. “My friend is a Shinto Priestess and has proven her skills in extra sensory perception many times over, however I am aware that not everyone has the gift and I deal in facts which you have failed to present.”
The older woman smiled. “I like you. You are straight forward and honest, usually anyway, but the white haired devil has you confused. You don't know what to make of him. He's dangerous and obstinate, yet you're drawn to him anyway.” Ami sat up straight. “I see I have your attention now. Your fortune is simple you will make a bold move that will secure your desires with the heavenly warrior that is anything but.” She leaned over to Ami and smiled mischievously. “It will truly be an out of body experience.” Ami flushed brightly.
“What makes you think I am woman of those morals?” Ami asked trying to contain her own embarrassment.
“The love of a man will cause even a frigid girl like you overcome shyness.”
Ami stood to her feet. “I believe I have heard enough.” She tossed a bill on the table.
“Good luck, My lady,” the fortune teller sighed as the dark haired girl left the room. She smirked slightly at the strange look she received then shook it off as her next customer came into the room.
That encounter was two days ago. Ami mulled over and nearly talked to one of the girls. She argued the woman was a crack pot and did not have the gift of sight. At one point she went so far as to think it was a joke and she was being set up by the girls so that she would finally get a boyfriend, but then there was the fact that she never told anyone that she was interested in… . Oh it was too embarrassing! The girls would think she was some kind of yutz. He was so not her type. He was commanding, arrogant, debonair, incredibly handsome…also their one time enemy turned ally. Malachite was the furthest thing from the type of man she should be interested in spending time with much less doing…her cheeks warmed…that. Oh what the hell, she needed to live a little, plus she already knew it would work in her favor.
Ami looked out of the window as it began to rain. Torrential rain fell from the sky darkening the apartment as she waited for its occupant come home. She had been there for nearly an hour now and with each passing minute the confidence she once had faded. Now she was fighting the impulse not to grab her clothes and run out of there before he showed up to find her. What was she going to say anyway? Ami doubted she could say something clever and erotic when she was red in the face. More than likely she would just stand there holding the sheet stammering like an idiot, clearly showing that was in experienced virgin. Oh why did she ignore men for so long?
“That's it, I'm leaving,” she said lowly when she heard the front door open. The blue haired senshi froze in her tracks and a lump formed in her throat as she waited in the bedroom. She could hear heavy footsteps and if had not been for the loud palpitations of her heart she would have noticed that there were two sets and that they dragging and stopping. Ami took a deep breath and held the sheet to her body. it was time to face the music. She flashed her best `come hither' smile, which he she had been practicing for the last hour, and waited for her lover to come through the door.
The smile melted from her face however when Malachite and his company busted through the door kissing and hungrily removing their clothes. The world slowed down for Ami at this point as the smiled flew from her face and heartache settled inside of her. The kissing couple at the same time as they made their way to the bed realized that they were not alone and cobalt blue met cobalt blonde. Mina, the love goddess herself, was on the receiving end of everything that Ami had been longing for the past year.
“Ami, what are you doing here?” Mina squeaked as the world time flowed like normal once more.
The lump in Ami's throat grew bigger as her eyes welled with tears. She was already shamed enough, she was not going to cry in front of them to add insult to injury. “Leaving.” She hastily grabbed her clothes and ran out of the apartment before either shocked person could make their move. “Stupid. Stupid. Stupid,” she cried once out in the rain. She ran and ran until her shoeless feet slipped on the slick ground. This was officially rock bottom and it was evident when she did not bother to get off the ground. Why did she have to be such a jerk? She would never be able to look either of them in the face and once the others found out… This was horrible.
She suddenly tensed up when she heard footsteps behind her. Through her tears and rain she could see the long platinum locks of the approaching person. “Just stay away, Malachite. I am not some naïve little girl, I know what is going on and I don't need you to explain it to me or try to make me feel better.”
“Malachite' paused. “I see you do not remember me,” a deep voice sighed regretfully.
Ami's actions froze. That man was not Malachite and she was out in the rain with no protection other than a wet sheet. She did not know where she was or if anyone was around to hear her scream if she needed to. This was clearly a bad position to be in for a woman. “Who are you?” she asked wiping her eyes so she could see clearly. “What do you want?”
The white haired man took a step forward and brandished a sword. “I have come to take back what is mine,” he answered simply. Ami's eyes widened as she reached for her henshin stick from its subspace hiding place. Her fingers grasped around its middle when she heard him whisper. “I will be at the tower in two days.” Her eyes widened when she felt a blade cut through her and a scream caught in her throat before hurtling her into blackness.
