Makoto stood in the field they had been training in looking over at Setsuna who stood a short distance from her with Michiru’s umbrella. “Michiru tells me you have control of your powers.” She said opening the umbrella. “Show me.”
“Hai,” Makoto said feeling more nervous then she was for her finals next week. She closed her eyes and thought about the night several weeks ago. She was standing in a storm and Motoki lifted her chin up kissing her. She opened her eyes when she felt a drop of rain hit her.
“Good make it stop.” Setsuna said. Makoto nodded closing her eyes again relaxing a few seconds later the rain stopped. “Very good, now let’s try something I am sure Haruka and Michiru didn’t work on with you.” Setsuna said taking a small rod out of a bag and shoving it into the ground then skewering an apple on it. “I want you to hit the apple with a bolt of lightening.”
“Easy.” Makoto thought as she nodded and closed her eyes. She brought the memory of her first time Motoki to her mind. The first few dropped of rain hit her then she opened her eyes looking at the apple. She focused on the memory of Ando forcing himself on her and lightening hit the apple. She had learned it was easier to use anger when calling lightening. She had seen Ando a few times since that night and each time he had avoided her while rubbing his nose.
“Well done but I didn’t tell you to call a storm.” Setsuna said using her boot to kick the charred remains of the apple off the rod, and then place another on it.
“Nani?” Makoto said looking at the Time Guardian then back over to Haruka and Michiru, the blonde just shrugging she hadn’t thought about working with Makoto to use her lighting ability without it raining. Leave it to Setsuna to think something like that up. Makoto stared at the apple not sure if she could do it she had always called a thunder storm before using lightening.
“Make the storm go away then try again without the rain.” Setsuna said from under the umbrella while Makoto stood being soaked by the storm staring at the apple.
“I’ve never done that.” Makoto said glancing away from the apple to the older Senshi, “It can’t be possible lightening only happens when there is a storm.”
“If you’ve never tried it how do you know it’s impossible?” Setsuna asked cocking her head to the side that knowing look on her face. The other Senshi knew that look very well. It was the look Setsuna gave them when there was something she couldn’t flat out tell them but was willing to let them guess it.
“You can do this Mako-chan just focus only on the lightening.” Michiru said as she and Haruka stood near Haruka’s car under another umbrella. It had been warm when they first drove out here but with Makoto controlling the weather it was much cooler and Michiru leaned into the blonde, glad when Haruka wrapped her arm around her. Haruka felt her shiver a little and took her over shirt off leaving her standing in a tank top as she draped the shirt over Michiru’s shoulders.
Makoto nodded relaxing her body then sending the storm away before she starred at the apple thinking about Ando again but nothing happened. She kept thinking about it until she heard Haruka say, “You need a stronger memory. Think of something that was really big something that you felt very strong, a life changing event.”
Makoto shook her head having an idea of what Haruka wanted her to think about but she couldn’t she had tried for years not to. “No I can’t.” She said shaking her head and clinching her fist.
“I know it hurts Makoto but you can do this.” Michiru said having an idea what Haruka was doing knowing how much it would hurt Makoto. She wished there was another way but feared there wasn’t. In her training with Setsuna both of them had to relive some memories that were better left forgotten.
“Hai,” Makoto said and closed her eyes again.
As she recalled the memory she was taken back to when she was seven years old and standing in a cemetery. It was winter and snow fell coating everything. She wore a black dress. Every so often someone would come to her and tell her it would be alright and she would nod but she didn’t believe them. An old man came to her she recognized him as an uncle. The same man she was to live with now but she barely knew him. “Makoto-chan we should go before you catch cold. Your parents wouldn’t want that.” He said.
“How can you know what they would want? They are dead!” Young Makoto shouted then ran towards a headstone with the names Kino Torai and Kino Nozomi written on it. The young girl felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to yell again thinking it was her uncle but instead a tall woman with long dark green hair stood there. She wasn't sure why but she felt like everything would be fine then the woman left without saying a word.
She heard a rumble of thunder and through her eyelids saw a flash of light. When she opened her eyes the apple as well as an eight foot circle around it was scorched and Setsuna looked as if she had jumped back to avoid being hit by the lightening. She stood there crying as Michiru ran over and hugged her letting her cry.
Setsuna looked over to Haruka who had walked over next to her folding the umbrella and using it like a cane. “What did you tell her to think about?” Setsuna asked amazed at how powerful the lightening had been. She hadn't expected Makoto to be able to do it one the first try.
“Her parent’s death,” Haruka said.
(Four days later, Dormitories)
Ami stood at the door to her shared bathroom with Makoto. She looked at the closed door her hand posed to knock. Makoto had been in there a half hour now and she was beginning to get a little worried. Finally she knocked on the door and asked, “Mako-chan, are you alright?”
“Fine!” Makoto said but her tone of voice said otherwise. “I’ll be right out!”
“Aright,” Ami said still worried about her friend.
The door to the bathroom opened and Makoto ran out nearly knocking Ami over. “Gomen Ami-chan.” Makoto said steadying her friend. “I have to go!”
“Are you sure you are okay?” Ami asked but Makoto was already gone. She shrugged thinking that Makoto would tell her if whatever it was that was bothering her was important. She walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on before seeing a box on the floor by the trash can. She bent down and picked it up meaning to throw it away but read what it was and her jaw dropped. “An at home pregnancy test? Oh my Mako-chan,” She said the turned the shower off. She walked into the other room and called Makoto but she didn’t answer. Instead she dialed her mom’s number. “Uh hi mom,” She said.
“Ohayo, Ami shouldn’t you be in class?” Her mom asked.
“Not for another half hour. Mom I got a problem… well actually I think Mako-chan does. You see she just left kinda in a panic and I found a home pregnancy test in the bathroom. I think Mako-chan is pregnant.” Ami said.
“Oh wow. Did she say anything to you about it?” Ami’s mother asked.
“No she just ran out of here.” Ami said.
“I would think she went to tell her boyfriend didn’t you say she had one?” Ami’s mother asked trying to keep track of her friend’s lives. Over the last few years Ami had become close to the other Senshi and she was quite happy her daughter had a good group of friends.
“Yeah Motoki-san, Mom what should I do?” Ami asked.
“Well… Oh sweetie I have to go she’s here. I’ll call you later.” She said.
“Okay mom.” Ami said as her mom hung up the phone.
(Juban Hospital)
“Mizuno-sama I know I don’t have an appointment but I really need to see you.” Makoto said nervously rubbing her hands together.
“It’s alright, here lets go somewhere a little more private.” She said leading Makoto into one of the exam rooms. It wasn’t that uncommon for the Senshi to come see her. She knew about them and did her best to help out whenever she could. “What can I do for you Mako-chan?”
“Well I think I’m…” Makoto said her voice becoming low. “I think I’m pregnant. You see I did a couple home tests because I haven’t had a period in several weeks and both tests were positive.”
“I can run a blood test to be sure but Mako-chan you have to think what you are going to do if it is positive.” Ami’s mother said.
“Hai, I know.” Makoto said then pushed her sleeve up for Ami’s mother.
“There are some options if you don’t want to keep it.” Ami’s mother said taking some blood and looking at it under a microscope.
“I don’t think I could have an abortion.” Makoto said, “And I’ll have to talk to Motoki but I think I want to keep it. I’ve always wanted children. Since I was an only child I think I want at least two.”
“Mako-chan the home test was correct.” Ami’s mother said looking over to the young woman then standing and walking to her placing her hand on Makoto’s shoulder.
“I had a feeling.” Makoto said her hand falling to her belly. “What do I do now?”
“We still have time to decide what to do but now I think it is best that you talk to Motoki-san. This is as much his child as it is yours.” Ami’s mother said.
“But what if he freaks outs?” Makoto asked.
“From what I’ve heard about him he’s a nice young man and if he loves you he should understand.” Ami’s mother said.
“Thank you Mizuno-sama.” Makoto said as she stood and bowed.
“You are welcome but I want you to come see me in about a week for a check-up.” Ami’s mother said.
“Of course,” Makoto said.
(Later that evening, Motoki’s apartment)
“Hey babe I thought you had class tonight.” Motoki said opening the door for her.
“I skipped it. Motoki we need to talk.” Makoto said as she came in and sat on the sofa.
“Alright, what about?” He asked then sat next to her taking her hand. She seemed worried and he wanted to know what was bothering her.
“I’ve been thinking of a way all afternoon to tell you this but I couldn’t so…” Makoto said squeezing his hand. “Motoki, I’m pregnant.”
“You’re pregnant?” He stuttered, “Oh wow, are you sure?”
“Ami’s mother is a doctor and she tested me earlier, yes I am sure.” Makoto said squeezing his hand worried about his reaction. Would he be happy or angry? They hadn’t really talked about the future she didn’t even know if he wanted kids.
“So you are carrying my child?” He asked as she nodded. “This is amazing.”
“You aren’t upset?” She asked surprised at his reaction.
“I have to admit it is sooner then I would like but I love you Makoto.” Motoki said leaning over and kissing her.
“Motoki, I’m scared. I’m only nineteen.” Makoto said leaning into him and resting her head on his shoulder.
“I know babe, but we are gonna do this together you aren’t going to be alone." Motoki said then leaned over to the drawer on the table pulling a small box out. “I was going to save this for our three month anniversary but now seems like a better time.”
Makoto took the box and opened it seeing a silver ring with a Turquoise set into it. “Motoki,” She said looking from the ring to him.
“It was supposed to be a promise ring and I know we’ve only been going out a couple of months but I mean it when I say I love you and I want to be a part of your life and of our child’s life. So I guess what I am saying is Makoto will you marry me?” He asked biting his lip afraid that she would say no that it was soon.
“I want you in my life too, Motoki.” Makoto said taking the ring out of the box and trying it on. It fit her perfectly surprising her. Thinking back a couple of weeks ago Ami had nervously asked to borrow a couple of rings for a date she had with Ryo. It seemed odd at the time since Ami didn’t really wear rings and Makoto’s hands were bigger then hers but she didn’t asked. Motoki must have asked Ami about her ring size and convinced Ami to get one so he could have it sized.
“So is that a yes?” He asked looking down at the ring on her hand.
“Hai,” Makoto said turning and kissing him on the lips.
