Sin of a Senshi

Chapter One:  Dangers of Rekindling old Friendships

The Day was a beautiful one; everything spoke of spring the warm sun, the spring air blowing across the street gently carrying the smells of Flowers from local shops. It was prefect day from the looks of things. It was a day the people of Crystal Tokyo could enjoy without fear of anything knowing the king and his mother were watching over them. Come to think of it the month was May, and only three days till Mothers Day. That was a disappointing thought for one young man, Mitsukai Chiba or Angel as his friends or Family called him. He had much on his mind since only months before He defeated Atlis or since his son Hiroshi had faced the male in his oracle form and lost control it was evident on the west side of Crystal Tokyo where He and Hiroshi had landed during the teleportation to earth.  He thought to himself silently while he walked down the street,” Hiroshi powers are growing each day he can zero shift to quickly and the use of his oracle form…” He sighed looking up at a shop he was stopped outside, He read the sign as his eyes widen and muttered shortly ,” oh great I have to been so worried about what’s happened that I almost missed mothers day,” He sighed and shook his head slightly moving his hand into his dark black hair. If anyone was new to Crystal Tokyo they would have thought him to be the King of Earth but in truth he was though he passed on the title to his sister when he was much younger. His eyes were dark along with his hair; he had a muscular build though he had his father’s height and his mother hair. It grew longer and longer each day, it took a lot to keep the hair cut short enough that he could manage it without letting the length go.  He sighed while standing in his traditional white shirt and black slacks with nice and expensive Italian shoes. If anyone knew Angel besides those in his family they would tell his friend, he was very strict in his ideals and how he handled things that came up. Angel’s firends would also tell them what a stickler he was for Fine things in life. Especially when it came to music and many of the things he owned. Angel did not except anything less the best for his family and himself. Though Usagi, Angel mother whom had a sweet tooth was known for getting the best without using too much money to do so.

Not far from where Mitsukai was thinking down about 4 blocks and on the corner of South elm and Rosewood was a small cake and flower shop owned by the Former or retired senshi  of Jupiter one of the queens protectors, Makoto Kino. She was not in the front of the shop even though the sign said open; In fact she came to the shop early that morning. Oh how she hated waking up so early but with the orders filling up for mothers day cakes. It was best that to get an early start so she could finish the orders and work on the arrangements. Her clothing was hidden by a white apron with her store name,”Sweets from Nature.” She had her own website called ,” wisdom of trees,” Which explained the natural organic and home grown products in which she use in all her arrangements and her cakes. Both in her store and on her site, People would find a pamphlet that explained what flowers she carried or could order with colors and meanings. It had been a slow morning since she opened the shop; on the front counter was a bell that could be ringed to get her attention when she was in the back. At this time she was bent over a Chocolate cake with rum icing, she had such skilled hands and focus as she moved her hands creating lilies and roses along the edge. In the center was hand written,” Happy mothers day” She smiled the tones of pink orange and soft blue made her smile. Her green eyes should the tremendous love in which she had placed in the small cake and its lovely arrangement that was to accompany it to the customer. She lifted back up with the piping bag in her hands while she smiled looking over the cake. She sighed closing her eyes while she spoke softly,” Finally finished all 6 hours worth of decorations and the flower arrangement, I do hope they love it.”

She smiled while she put the piping bag of blue icing down as she moved to her store shop stereo, She smiled considering it had been what nearly four years since she seen any of the senshi. She still smiled while she held the cd of Mozart in her hand in her hand while she pressed play on the player. She smiled while the music would play moving throughout her small Shop. She listened to the soothing piano while she walked back to place the finished arrangement in the Flower cooler and place the cake in its boxes. She smiled while she picked up the cake gently opening the lid to the box again she placed the cake down softly turning it to were the words and the flowers showed of beautifully. She walked to the front placing the cake in the Clear glass keeper. She smiled while she walked back pulling the arrangement out and placing it in the one beside the cake cooler.  
She smiled after turning the vase to show the creative crystal work on the front. She gave a warm smile while she walked to the back pulling out a soft rose petal pink fondant cake. Under the Fondant was a Strawberry cake with chocolate raspberry glaze in the center. She looked at the cake for about twenty minutes thinking of what should go on it. She spent some time drawing out little sketches while she looked over the cake. She thought back to her friend and current queen Usagi.  She knew Usagi love of roses and soft bright tones. She made several sketches to play with while she walked to the small cabinet pulling out colored gels, soft red, green, light blue, and orange. She smiled while she put them on the counter beside the mixing bowl with the chilled icing mix already premade and piping bags with tips already picked out. She opened the gels while she was starting to mix the color into the icing. She stopped hearing the Door open to her shop as someone come to the counter and picked up the bell ringing it. She put the spatula down while she moved picking up the hem of the apron cleaning her hands while she walked out. She smiled gently to her old friend Erick Montague, The husband of one Makoto culinary friends back in France. They had recently moved to Tokyo to escape the hurried rush of French life. Lena loved Makoto cakes and arrangements hence why her husband would come every year and pick up one that Makoto made for them.

Makoto smiled watching Erick walk over as he spoke to her his accent was purely French with a hint of Cajun,” Ah Mon Cherie Makoto, It has been so long has it not wee? “ Makoto would smile and give a slight nod to her old friend while she spoke her voice full of laughter and happiness,” Wee it has Erick, but you do know its only been two years since we last spoke, you order a cake from me recall.” Erick smiled while he hugged Makoto pulling back and way he would nod,” Ah wee I did as I recall for Lena birthday, I was so upset that you could not make it Mon petite.”  Makoto gave a weak smile to him nodding while she sighed looking down,” I am sorry that I could not come to Lena party Erick but you know my duties are important to me, “Erick nodded, He was one of few that actually knew Makoto was one of the Queen Neo Serenity guardian. During the time, Lena Makoto and Erick spent in the Institute of France they always watched out for one another considering how harsh culinary life was.  Lena at one point had thought Makoto was trying to steal her love but this was resolved after Lena learned from Erick that she was a protector to the queen.  Lena had become good friends with Makoto helping her with different test and studying with Erick and Makoto when she had trouble with certain subjects in the business aspect of owning a shop. Every taxes season she would call on the pair to help her with her books so that everything was in order. It was at this time Erick had started looking around the shop listening to Makoto music while she brought out the Pale pink cake and tubes of butter cream icing to work on decorations. While Erick walked around the shop he conversed back and forth with Makoto.

It was about one thirty when Angle came to down the fourth block. He seemed Irritated if not agitated by trying to find a gift for both his mother and sister. He figured he would be a good brother by getting them both something they both would enjoy. Though he was finding this gift hunt quite Difficult considering he had such high standards when it came to gifts. He knew his father would always take his mother out for breakfast and down to her favorite café by the palace. He wanted his gift to be something special meaningful to his mother and sister. He sighed while he pushed a hand into his hair looking at a couple of the shops on South elm. He was not impressed with the Jewelry even though he knew someone he cared for might love it. No He wanted something special for his sister and mother maybe even for his wife to be. He began walking down the block again while he closed his eyes. It was about half the block when he stopped listening to the city around him. He opened his eyes blinking while he turned his head. He looked across the street as a pair of gentlemen walked to a small shop. When the door opened Angel blinked in pleasant surprise at the music coming out into the street was that of Mozart fifth concerto in d minor.

He noticed the small Store was busy for this time of day, He figured that if the store was busy it must have been a good place, which meant good quality products. He smiled maybe he found something after all; He looked both ways before he ran across the street. He began a leisurely walk up to the small shop. He looked into the small shop smiling softly seeing the Arrangements and cakes that had been decorated, from the look of them and the arrangement this owner put love into each piece she or he did. He blinked moving to open the door for the elder male that was walking out with a cake and small vase of Carnations. Angel gently spoke as he helped the door open,” Excuse me sir, But do you often shop at this store? “The elder male looked up to Angel blinking as he then smiled, He didn’t call him by his royal title but spoke kindly,” Why yes I do Mitsukai Chiba, This young lady always is reasonable and her cakes are so beautiful each one is done to order and decorated as if for her own friends and family” Angel listened to the elder man and nodded while smiling deeply. “Yes” he thought to himself he found the perfect answer for his mother and sisters gift. He allowed the elder gentlemen to leave while he entered the store. He began looking around while Makoto was bent down over a small petal stool on the counter turning it as she made petals on an Orange rose. Erick lifted his head as he was helping one of the other customers with his purchase. Angel looked at the man with a smile while he turned his attention to the women. He looked at her hair for a long time before moving to the side and noticing her face slightly. He could not place her features but something was familiar about the women. He watched her intently while she worked. He saw the skills in which she used making the flower, after making the last petal she picked up a paintbrush and eatable glitter in the faint white making it seem as if moonlight was shimmering on it petals.  When she bent down dusting the edges she stopped and lifted her face up. She looked at Angel her green eyes on his dark ones while she moved back from the cake and flower. Angel blinked watching her move back while he spoke,” I am sorry did I frighten you, I was just enjoying watching you work.” Makoto had to smile while she moved putting the brush down and moved to pick up the flower and spatula.

She moved the spatula under the flower lightly lifting it free as she placed it on the cake next to the soft red and blue on. Angel was impressed at the quality of work this young lady did. Though he looked back up to her noticing her light brown hair, green eyes and fair skin as Makoto turned her face going to pick up the next tube of icing with a writers tip on it, Angel eyes slightly widen those rose earring were one he seen before. Was she? Could she be Makoto Kino his mother protector and dear friend whom neither he nor his mother had seen in two years, since the incident with his son? He moved back a bit while she turned bending back over before she started writing on the cake Angel spoke,” excuse me but are you making this for a client?” Makoto lifted her head taking pressure off the bag she lifted up and tilted her head thinking,” No, Are you interested in purchasing this cake?” Angel smiled to Makoto it was at this point she though he might have been Mamouru but no could not have bee his hair was far longer then Usagi husband. It was again Makoto would assume that it was Mamouru because of how Angel spoke with a slight chuckle,” Actually I am very interested in buying this cake for mothers day, you see I been looking for a gift all over and both my mother and sister have a terrible sweet tooth.” Makoto smiled putting the bag down while she pulled out a sheet of paper her gentle green eyes radiated the love she had for her work. Angel could not help but smile as well; if indeed this was Makoto his mother was right. She also seemed to radiate kindness and warmth to those she befriends especially true with her customers. She then looked to Angel while she picked up a pen still smiling to him,” Alright this is for your sister and Mother, Correct?”

Angel would smile nodding,” yes that is correct.” Makoto nodded and then spoke again explaining ,” Well this is one of our spring style cakes, Its strawberry with a chocolate raspberry filling in the middle the fondant is for appearance but is a light flavor of strawberry and cherry. Is that alright with you sir?” She had not made the connection yet that he was Chibiusa twin brother. Angel just smiled while he chuckled then spoke, “Yes that sound wonderful , could you write on it Happy mothers day ,Usagi and Chibiusa” Makoto blinked as she wrote down his request on the paper then turned looking at him she spoke,” Mamouru? “Angel blinked and began laughing Erick looked to Makoto raising a brow while he then spoke up,” Excuse me sir would you also like an arrangement to go with the cake, we have a sale on mothers day arrangements and Cakes, Two arrangements with one cake and a small gift box of your choice petite fours, All together for only nineteen ninety-nine. “Angle wasn’t ignoring the gentlemen but he was more interested in what Makoto had said while he stopped laughing for a moment. He looked at Makoto then looked over to Erick nodding as he spoke,” That sounds like a good deal, Can I get one arrangement of Red roses and one with white rose pink and purple iris.” Erick smiled while he spoke cheerfully,” wee sir I can do that for you and your selection of petite fours. “ Angel raised a brow to Erick when he spoke clearing his voice,” Small tea cakes sir” Makoto giggled drawing angel attention as he turned his head back to her. Makoto looked up to him with her deep green eyes while she narrowed them in thought looking at his face. Angel slightly frowned while he pushed his hand in his hair when Makoto noticed it she gasped putting the pad down while she spoke with such excitement,” Your Chibiusa brother Mitsukai, Oh my lord how you have changed.” Angel blinked then smiled chuckling while he pulled his arm down,” I was wondering if you would ever recall Makoto and please call me Angel” She blinked and looked away embarrassed at having forgot one of her dear friend children. She turned her eyes back while she moved back around the counter to finish his order while she laughed,” How is your mother by the way.” Angel Laughed while he looked to her while she was writing his custom order on the cake after he finished he spoke ,” Oh she doing well so is my sister, I just been so busy that I almost forgot that mothers day was coming up.” Angel turned to Erick while he walked over to the clear case and looked over the petite fours and muttered,” I have no idea what to get them.” Makoto finished just as she lifted her head and the bag. She looked to Erick as he nodded letting her take over after getting his cake and flowers for Lena. He smiled paying Makoto telling her to keep the change and wished her well. She smiled after seeing Erick out while she moved back behind the Glass case looking at Angel,” Well knowing your mother and sister, I think they would really enjoy the Chocolate, peach and lemon ones. If you want I can throw in a few extra for free.” Angle lifted his face to her smiling he knew Makoto advice was sound. He nodded as he lifted up speaking,” Sound good to me and can I get another arrange…” before angle could finish his words the Door bell rang to the shop.

A young man stood in the door way he was two inches shorter then Angel. His hair was dark and his eyes a soft shade of cerulean blue, his skin was a slight golden tan. He wore a black shirt and jean jacket with dark wash pants; they had holes in the side and knee along with black biker boots. His eyes glared at Makoto while he walked closer. Angel watched him narrowing his eyes to the young man no more then two years younger the Makoto san. He watched as the boy pulled a gun out pointing it at Makoto. It was a nine millimeter automatic. Makoto green eyes glared at the boy before her when he spoke,” Well you never call or emailed me back. Heh, Here I am trying to be good man just so you will go out with me and you listen to some nobody….” Makoto spoke her anger radiated out of her voice as she addressed the male,” Hiroshima, I told you once and I shall say it again. Leave me alone, that girl was my friend and you used her to get what you wanted. I want nothing to do with you, now leave my store” Angel moved slightly as the Hiroshima looked over at him, Then turned his attention back to Makoto who crossed her arms when he spoke chuckling darkly ,” Not before I destory your store and may you pay for what you did.” Angel didn’t like the sound of that nor did he particularly like his mother friend being threaten by some weak thug. Hiroshima moved to grab Makoto from over the counter. Angel made his move grabbing the man right arm. Makoto blinked moving to stop Angel fearing he would get hurt and Usagi may never forgive her.  Watching silently as Hiroshima turned trying to sucker punch Angel in the jaw with the butt of the gun. She was surprised when Angel merely grabbed the arm holding the gun and turning it behind Hiroshima breaking his wrist and forearm in four places. Hiroshima screamed in pain while Angel pulled him back from Makoto while he turned away from her. He used his abilities to throw the man down on the ground pulling his hands back and breaking both his knee caps. Makoto moved around the side of the counter while Angel looked back to her before kicking the gun away from them as he spoke ,” Makoto call the Police we will make sure he doesn’t bother you again.” Makoto blushes hearing those words shaking it off while she walked slightly closer,” Angle “She said his voice gently worried his anger would lash out at her. He looked back to her smiling while she blinked and smiled going to the back she called the Crystal Tokyo south precinct. It was ten minutes later after they arrive taking Angel statement while another officer took Makoto. When all things were said and done Angel made sure that Hiroshima would be spending a considerable time in Jail for messing with his mothers friends.  Makoto had gone back inside after giving the stamen. She watched as Angel was talking with Head officer asking for measure to be taken to protect makoto shop. After about fifteen minutes had passed when Angel finished talking with the officer Angel returned inside the small shop. He was about to speak when he lifted his head seeing Makoto packing his order up for him, He gave a weak smile to Makoto. She looked up and smiled back even though she knew it was wrong she felt a certain like for her dear friend’s son. She shook off the feeling as she watched Angel walk up; He seemed to have a gentle look to him like his father. Makoto had to respect what Angel had done it was not everyday someone as Strong or as quick to act would walk into her store and save her form some a jerk like Hiroshima. Angel moved to take his order after paying for it in full even though Makoto had told him it was alright that it was a small thank you. Angel smiled while he looked down picking up the holder with the three arrangements of flowers and the two boxes along with the cake. He noticed the card on top with her business name and website. It made him smile to think he done something to help his mothers friend.

Angel walked back to his Lexus which had been four block back away from Makoto’s shop. He turned the corner going to his car while he unlocked it and put the items in the back. He then lifted back up and got in having auto started the car before he got to the parking lot. Angel pulled out the parking space as he turned the corner driving to the stop sign playing Jamie Foxx on his radio while he turned onto rosewood. He looked over seeing Makoto closing up for the night; she already turned the lights off as she walked out with her jacket and her purse locking the Front door to her small shop. She turned beginning to walk south heading back to her apartment, Angel drove up next to her rolling down his window he smiled and spoke ,” Do you want a ride Makoto san?” Makoto turned looking to him as she bent down and smiled to him,” Its not that far Angel just a few blocks” Angel shrugged smiling to her while he moved his hair back from his face shrugging,” I figured after what happened it would be nice If you had some company home.” He wanted to make sure his mother friend got home safe after what happened. Makoto tried to hide her blush but she smiled and moved to the car as Angel unlocked the door allowing Makoto entry. She smiled sitting down with her jacket and purse as she buckled up and shut the door. She smiled while he drove up two blocks when she spoke up softly pointing as the turned on to wisdom and then one to wood willow.

They drove down three blocks Angel looked over to Makoto yes she was much older but he wondered.  He spoke up as they turned on to Ash then oak,” Makoto that Man Hiroshima who was he,” Makoto looked back to Angel as they pulled up It was a small apartment complex as Angel pulled up stopping. Makoto sat in the passenger’s seat while she looked back to Angel again, she sighed and then explained,” He was or used to be someone I was interested in. My friend Lisa from the French cooking school, well she dated him for a while and broke things off when he cheated on her then he tried to rape her. When he came to try and pick me up I already knew what had happened, You know that man at the store the one working with me for a bit Erick. He was friends with Hiroshima for a short while till he found out about Lisa,” Angel sat listening to what was being told; He was becoming angry with Makoto story. He was unsure how Makoto became tangled in this mess considering it had been two years since the incident with his son. He stayed silent as well when Makoto unbuckled the belt as she moved to open the door. She smiled while she got out turning to Angel when she spoke,” Thank you Angel for the ride and tell your mother and sister I said hello.” Angel smiled to Makoto while he nodded to her before speaking,” your welcome Makoto, “He said gently while he watched her shut the door and walk to the apartment heading inside. As angel was pulling back out of the apartment complex driving home while he thought about what Makoto told him. He would have to find evidence to make sure that Hiroshima never came near his mother friend again but right now he was glad to see she was safe. As he entered his home seeing his son but not his wife he moved to the kitchen to put away the cake and petite fours along with the flowers when he discovered the card. He opened it reading it while he smiled thinking the next time he saw Makoto he would take her up on the offer.

Meanwhile Makoto walked up the stairs to the six floors. She pushed the door from the stairs exit as she moved out onto the floor. Makoto gave soft sigh thinking about what had happened over the course of the day. She gave a light smile to the events of the day slightly daydreaming about how Angel had saved her. She then chuckled turning on her back and leaning against the door of her apartment. She gave a soft sigh as she shook her head trying to shake the Idea of Angel and herself. He was married or so she had heard not only that he was her best friends Usagi her princess. She turned pushing her head on the door while she looked down at the floor. She wanted to thank Angel hence why she had given him a card and offered to take him out for tea or breakfast. She shook her head while she slipped back inside her apartment as she moved pulling the apartment door closed and walking back to her bedroom.
