Hiya peoples!! This is a fic about my idea of Mako-chan!! Enjoy! Mako-chan ***************** "Running through the middle of a storm, I can't dream in this dark night. Don't embrace loneliness with open arms." (Dircet qoute from Makoto) Who am I? Is this all there is? Is this my future? I ask myself that often. I never come up with a good answer. I look at all the other senshi. They are so lucky. They have families and loved-ones. Me? I have my friends, an apartment, and plants. I live to protect others no matter what the cost. That is my life. I feel like no one but my friends understand me. Sometimes they don't. Like my ever popular topic about my 'old boyfriend'. They think I'm boy-crazy, even thought I am that's only scratching the surface, I seek love. Now to some it sounds dumb, but it means the world to me. I have no family. The other senshi do. And sometimes I think the only one who can relate is Sailor Pluto, but she is never around to talk to. "Among all the trees, the sunlight filters through like falling rain. In the city, as well, the hearts of people go past sunset. When I went to my favorite green tree in the woods, and looked at the city, snow fell. When I feel the cold flakes of snow on my body, I become chilled to my heart. White sadness decorates the city. I want to be with the person I've separated from..." (another qoute by Makoto) Then there is the 'good cook' Mako-chan. They think I was born into cooking, but I only want to make others happy and to look more femine with my rep as a fighter. Specking of fights, time for Mako-chan 'the beast'. I am known for my strenght and fighting skills. I am feared for it, too. It's not fun. It's not fun to know you could probably kill a guy if you put your mind to it. It's not fun to be feared. It just makes me more lonely. The last thing is my name. No one takes it seriosly. They simply say 'look! Makoto is such a good cook and fighter!! But a little scatter brained!' I know I am a bit scatter brained but I am worthy of the name, Makoto Kino. Wisdom of oak. True I'm no Ami, but I can actually give good advice to people. "It's all right. I know you'll be able to find your precious dream. The road after the rain continues straight on. It's all right. It's all right. What's important is believing in everyone. And believing in yourself. I'm watching you. I believe in you." (another qoute) Now, onto the inner(?) senshi of storms, wood(?) and protection, Sailor Jupiter. The inner senshi... hmmm. The last I checked Jupiter was an outer planet. This inner, outer nonsense confuses me. Am I an inner? Am I the sweet, yet tough "innocent", female? I think not, and yet I think so... but then what can be said of my planet? Did Queen Serenity just plop me onto the inner list for plopings sake? Am I an outer? Am I the semi-cold, steely, strong, lonely, fighter? I think not, and yet I think so... but then what can be said of my duties? I am I simply nothing but the "protecter"? Is my duty torn between protecting the princess and repelling outside forces from reaching past our galaxy? Yes? Do I protect my princess while protecting the galaxy? Mabye, I am the outer amung inners. But then I am denied the right of weapon use, unless you consider my antenea a weapon. What ever group I might be in, all I know is, I am a protecter. Always the first to die for our Princess. This is my life. I am Makoto Kino. I am Sailor Jupiter. I am a protecter. But I wonder, and hope. Someday, will someone protect me, too? "How many times has it been when night has drawn up on you, and you've lost sight of the sun unnoticed?" "Bound tightly within the darkness, I can't stir an inch in this dark night. Don't give up on the light you reached for." (another qoute by Mako-chan!!) Thank you. Chibi Atom
