Chapter 4


(Later that Afternoon)


A black sports car raced down a dirt road leaving a cloud of dust behind it. “Haruka-san where are we going?” Makoto asked holding onto the arm rest of the seat as another bump bounced her from her seat.


“Just a nice remote place to do some training,” Haruka said shifting gears and speeding the car up.


“I would like to get there in one piece love.” Michiru said looking over to Haruka who had a smirk on her face. “I swear Haruka if you hit a rock and tear a hole in something like the oil pot I won’t speak to you for a month and you will be sleeping on the floor.”


“It’s a oil pan Michiru not a pot.” Haruka said with that smirk still on her face causing Michiru to glare at her. She shifted gears again slowing the car down. “Hai, hai we’re almost there anyway.”


Makoto just shock her head at the couple glad they were slowing down. They had been driving for at least an hour and were well out of the city limits. “It’s very pretty here.” Makoto commented while looking out the window at the shore line.


“Haruka used to bring me out here for picnics when we were dating. I haven’t been out here in over a year.” Michiru said then looked at the blonde. “Why is that Haruka?”


“Uhm….well….we’ve been busy with my races and you’ve been on tour.” Haruka said her face turning red.


“The season is over and my last concert is on Friday.” Michiru said a playful smile on her face. ‘That is a hint Haruka.”


“Yes dear.” Haruka said pulling into a grass field. “We’re here.”


“Wow this place is amazing. I wouldn’t mind if someone special brought me on a date here.” Makoto chuckled then looked at Haruka with an accusing glare as she got out of the car.


“Gessh not you too.” Haruka said getting the door for Michiru. “I get it, one picnic date in the very near future.”


“So, how do we go about training?” Makoto asked thinking they had teased Haruka enough.


“I thought we would warm up with a little sparring first.” Haruka said then opened the trunk for Michiru. She put her arm around Makoto leading her away from the car.


“Sure it’s been a while since we had a match; with you being too busy to even spend time with your wife.” Makoto teased then bowed and dropped into a fighting stance.


A short distance from them Michiru set up a lawn chair and a cooler then sat down resting an umbrella across her lap. She watched the two as they fought Haruka made a round house kick to Makoto’s head but the brunette blocked it shoving Haruka back. She almost tripped but caught her balance and was attacking Makoto with a series of punches that were so fast it was amazing that Makoto could block them. Still a few got through and Makoto hissed as one grazed her side.


It was the Lightening Senshi’s turn now and she faked a kick at Haruka who easily stepped out of the way realizing the ploy too late as Makoto chopped her hands down on the base of both sides of Haruka’s neck. The blonde fell back on her butt gasping for air.


“I got you with that one. Hurts don’t it?” Makoto asked remembering the last time they sparred Haruka had used the move on her. She reached her hand out to help Haruka up and was surprised when the blonde tried to sweep her. She was able to jump quickly enough to avoid Haruka’s foot but wasn’t expecting a face full of dirt when she landed. She felt a jab to her left side then her right wincing at both. With the dirt in her eyes she couldn't see Haruka and got another hit this one bloodying her lip. It wasn’t like Haruka to fight dirty like this and Makoto growled feeling a kick connect with her gut knocking her back. She growled again this time hearing Haruka and blocking an attack to her head even if it was clumsy then blow still missed her.


By now she was furious at Haruka and didn’t notice the rain that hit her face, nor did she notice that the rain washed the dirt from her eyes. She just attacked Haruka. The blonde was amazed with the speed Makoto attacked her and that she missed a few hits. At last Haruka was able to side step out of the way of a punch and cause Makoto to shoot passed her. She quickly grabbed Makoto from behind pinning her arms to her sides. “Enough Makoto,” Haruka said struggling to hold her, “That’s enough.”


Makoto stood panting in Haruka’s arms trying to catch her breath as rain pounded down on them and thunder echoed. “You did that on purpose.” She said looking over at Michiru who still was sitting in the lawn chair though now she held the umbrella over her keeping her dry while the rain soaked the other two. “You made me angry so I would loose control of my powers.”


“I’m sorry Makoto it was the best way to bring them out. Our new powers are linked to our emotions and anger is the easiest emotion to access.” Haruka said finally letting her go then raising her hands up as Makoto turned around thinking Makoto was going to hit her again.


“Okay so how do I make it stop now?” Makoto said looking up at the rain enjoying how it felt cool on her skin. She always loved standing in the rain. When she was a child and her parents were alive she often got in trouble for being sent home from school because she stood in the rain and her cloths had gotten wet.


“Calling your powers is the easy part. Making them go away is harder.” Haruka said taking her hand and sitting on the ground. It was socked but it didn’t really matter because so were they. “Alright this is where we take a lesson from Rei-chan. Close your eyes and try to relax.”


“I take it you want me to meditate?” Makoto asked getting a ‘yes’ from Haruka. She chuckled then said, “Good thing you aren’t doing this with Usagi-chan or Minako-chan they both fell asleep when Rei-chan was trying to teach us.”


“Focus, Makoto.” Haruka said closing her own eyes. Makoto smirked thinking Haruka sounded like Rei had. “Okay, remember how the field looked when we first came here?”


“Hai,” Makoto said the images appearing in her mind.


“Good describe it to me.” Haruka said.


“As I got out of the car it smelled fresh like wild grass with a hint of jasmine.” She said remembering that she had seen some and wanted to pick a few before they left. “It was warm and there was a light breeze coming from the south. The grass seemed to go on for miles and I thought this was one of the prettiest places I had ever seen.”


“Makoto-chan, open your eyes.” Haruka said. Makoto did as she was told seeing that the rain had stopped and that the sun was starting to shine through the clouds.


“It’s like the storm never happened.” Makoto said standing up and looking around. “You said it was easier to summon our powers?”


“Yes, but Makoto-chan I don’t want you trying to use these powers without Haruka or I there to help you." Michiru said walking over with a couple towels.


“Hai,” Makoto said, “Next time will you be getting wet with me?”


“I just got my hair done I wasn’t about to let it get ruined by a little rain.” Michiru said flicking her hair. “I think that is enough for today don’t want you two catching a cold.”


“Can’t you at least tell me how to call my powers so next time I have a better idea?” Makoto asked.


“Since our powers are connected to our emotions we use memories that have a strong emotional attachment to them. When you want to call your powers just pick a memory and it will come to you.” Haruka said as she waved her hand a light breeze picked some leaves. The leaves spun around then the breeze lifted Michiru’s skirt briefly. The Oceans Senshi glanced over to her partner and shook her head while she held her skirt down.


Makoto blushed then looked to Haruka. “What memory do you use? If you don’t mind me asking.”


“I don’t mind. It was before we met you before and the other Inners. Michiru and I were fighting a daimon and I pushed her away from an attack taking it myself. Afterwards we got into an argument because of the promise we made. At first it was more then just continuing on if the other fell behind.” Haruka said knowing Usagi had told them about the promise after Kaolinite had chained them together. “We first promised that we wouldn’t get attached to each other but the more I was with Michiru the more I fell in love with her. When she asked me why I pushed her away from the attack I confessed my feelings for her. I told her I couldn’t keep all of our promise. I knew she felt the same the tension between us was so thick. We changed our promise that night and it was the first time I kissed her.”


“Hmm… I remember you doing more then just kissing me.” Michiru said with a mischievous smirk.


Haruka dropped the lawn chair and turned sharply to Michiru her face red. “Michiru!”


Makoto put the cooler in the trunk with a sweat drop on her cheek as Michiru teased Haruka a little more. She bent down for the chair Haruka dropped and groaned her side hurting. “Ow Haruka-san I think you might have cracked a rib or two. Did you have to be so rough?”


“Do you two crybabies think you can make it home without whining? Hotaru should be back from Riku-chan’s house and can heal you.” Michiru teased.
