Never Have a Redhead in a Strong Brunette Relationship
It was early evening by the park as two people were sat down together on the grass. One was a redheaded teenage girl wearing a blue fuku and the other was a brown haired man older than her, he had wearing a light purple jacket tailored to suit his needs and a pair of white trousers. His hair was styled naturally yet tidy. It was unusual such an attractive man would fall for a redhead girl at her age however he knew that appearances are not everything as she was cute in her own right.
While the redhead was happy, the gentleman however was down as he looked at the grass and was playing with a small flower.
The girl asked, "How come you feel down Masato?"
The brown haired man sniffed, he had depressive thought that was in his head. He wasn't sure to tell the redhead however he felt his heart ache and felt that telling her would be the right thing to do.
"My friend was killed a while ago in a bus accident, I miss him very much", sulked Masato as he got out a tissue and wiped his tears as the memories of Jadeite's death haunted him. "It is the reason why I use some of my own funding to push for safer transport and lower speed limits around Tokyo, Naru."
Naru looked down towards the grass as Masato got up and walked off however he didn't go very far. He stood and directly looked at a fence thinking of his own thoughts. Him and Jadeite were friends yet they weren't as close as they would have liked since he spent much of his time with Queen Beryl while Masato was away. Masato once had a dream that he was a general who was with Prince Endymion, him and Jadeite told him to be weary of Princess Serenity. He also had a dream where Jadeite had a relationship with Princess Mars, Sailor Mars or Rei however was unclear who it was exactly apart from that she had long black hair and appeared fiery. He was reflecting his past and thinking what to do next.
The redhead girl asked, "That's too bad, do you have any other friends or loves?"
"I did have rivals but they're no concern for me", smirked the elegant bachelor. "I was in a date with someone. Makoto was her name. She did have a good heart and was nice but she wasn't as kind or as pretty looking like you. Honestly she looked more like a man."
As soon as he finished that sentence, a woman who was a tall brunette with a ponytail was behind him wearing her white top and brown skirt. She had her hands onto her hips and she was furious.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY NEPHRITE?"
Masato recognised her deep powerful voice anywhere and was a bit intense as he slowly turned his way directly towards a woman that he knows very well. Makoto Kino. He knows as there were no other tall ponytailed brunettes in Azabu-Juban that had deep voices. Trying to keep the situation cool, he thought of a quick way of getting out of the problem.
The gentleman cockily smiled, "I have no idea who this Nephrite person is."
Naru blinked her eyes and was getting a bit worried as the brunette was aggressive knowing that he mentioned a lie with her eyebrows going down and snarls from her mouth. She believes Masato rather than a random stranger who was a juvenile delinquent, the kind that in Juban Junior High are considered a problem and to stay away from.
She happily explained, "He's Masato Sanjouin, the playboy billionaire whose like Bruce Wayne!"
The brunette knew straight away that it was a lie, there was no Masato Sanjouin in the area but she did know a Nephrite who has the same brown hair. The chances that they are the same are high especially with that cocky smile.
"Oh another of his lies, I thought that you just wanted to have some fresh air but I've found you cheating on another woman!", growled Makoto with her teeth gnashing.
Makoto was getting very annoyed that she was stood up in her date. Just a few days ago, her emerald green eyes laid directly towards his earthy brown eyes. She found him handsome and completely understood how she was feeling as he had some of the same emotions, she thought this was it "my loving partner for life". After all they both have brown hair and even Makoto's hair when pulled down is fairly close to his in terms of style. Yet his heart lied elsewhere, he was thinking that she was more like a younger sister than a potential partner. He didn't mean to fall for Naru but somehow her personality caught his attention instead of sending her directly to Queen Beryl harvesting her for energy. He would have done if he didn't have a heart.
Nephrite bitterly explained, "I would have continued with the date Mako if you wasn't so... tall and touchy. Besides I never loved you, you're not pretty enough to be with a hunk like me."
It absolutely stung Makoto very hard, she knew that he had a large ego in terms of his looks but it was the last straw. Saying that he never loved her and the thing that upsetted her the most, being called tall and touchy. It was ironic since Nephrite himself was also tall and touchy, it was why they were dating thinking that they were on the same lines. They were but didn't expect their emotional outbreaks too.
"THAT'S IT! NO ONE BREAKS MY HEART!", firmly shouted Makoto as she rolled her sleeves and her fists forming.
While Makoto and Nephrite were about to fight, Naru got up from the ground and firmly walked directly in between the two. She was like a sandwich and hoped to resolve the conflict another way, whether it was Nephrite apologising to Naru and Makoto or to break up with him so Makoto can calm down with perhaps a second chance.
Naru clinged onto Nephrite's arm and gently begged, "Please don't fight Masato, I know that you can be a caring person whose lost his friend..."
"I probably might have to Naru my dear, she's not your ordinary woman but more like a monster", stressfully spoke Nephrite as deep down that he was scared knowing what Makoto can be like since he saw her punch and kick her way with a gang member while they were having their date.
This was making Makoto more and more angrier as she pushed Naru to the ground to take on Nephrite, she didn't mean to push Naru. Had she been herself, she would have apologised and helped her get back up but in her eyes, Naru was the cheat and deserved to get pushed down.
Makoto growled, "YOU'RE GOING DOWN!"
"Heh, this should be a piece of cake", smiled Nephrite as he signalled Makoto to come forward.
Nephrite reached his right arm directly towards the frustrated brunette however Makoto grabbed his fist and twisted it, she was smirking thinking that she has the upper hand that she managed to hurt her previous love. Very quickly he yanked his hand right out of Makoto's grip and it was in pain with his knuckles being sore.
The brown haired general while shaking his hand yelped, "OW! THAT HURTS!"
"NEXT TIME YOU SHOULDN'T BREAK A WOMAN'S HEART!", roared Makoto still upset about him dumping her.
While he was still shaking his hand, Makoto then turned to do a roundhouse kick at him as he fell towards the gravel. Nephrite was struggling to get up, his neck was bruised and knew that it was a Kyokushin styled kick. It was lucky that his neck didn't snap and that would have been the end of him but just like Makoto, he knows that it had only just started.
As Makoto glared at him, bitterly as she was dumped, Nephrite got up with a growl and decided to kick himself aiming for the heart but landed by her stomach. It was just like her a heavy attack and felt the shoe going towards her tummy, she had to briefly stop as she held her hands by the pain and snarled herself with her head down.
Naru was distressed as she didn't know who was going to win the battle, she wanted Nephrite to stop but he only attacked because Makoto attacked him, something that he would have used as evidence if he won the fight and potentially blacklist her from not just the entire area but possibly all of the Minato ward as well.
She yelled, "Stop!"
They both looked at Naru who was upset, while she didn't cry she had a trembling lip and her eyes were droopy. She was a victim of what was going off, it wasn't her fault that she was attracting Nephrite who returned her feelings, it wasn't her fault that he was cheating on Makoto and Naru believed his lies, she didn't know his name was really Nephrite.
Nephrite pointed at Makoto and grunted, "If you didn't go for me, Naru wouldn't have got upset."
"If you didn't cheat on me, this wouldn't have happened," growled the brunette but not as strong as before.
Recovering from the blow, Makoto strikes back with another kick however Nephrite quickly crossed his arms and blocked the attack. Despite the anger that they both had, they wouldn't have thought that it got to this. One minute they were all lovey dovey with Makoto making strawberry tarts and Nephrite giving her hugs of love both with smiles on their faces, the next on the verge of killing each other.
Nephrite then tries another kick and managed to caught Makoto's side near the same area as before causing her a slight off balance yet was not down. She then smirked and went directly towards him doing a uppercut hitting his chin. He was starting to wobble with his moving around, she then gave him another roundhouse kick and like before, he fell to the grass however the fall was faster and harder.
With a cocky smile, Makoto gave Nephrite another three kicks twice on the back and once on his chest. Makoto gave him one last kick towards the stomach for revenge and that was it for the brown haired man, he was no longer breathing. She stroked her ponytail with bitterness and stood there still annoyed that it had to end this way. In a panic Naru ran towards the body of Nephrite and tried to pick him up, he was unable to move so she leaned down towards his yellow shirt and put her ear on his heart. There was no pulse or heartbeat sounds, Nephrite was dead.
Looking at the annoyed brunette, Naru spitefully yelled, "You monster! I could have had a rich boyfriend and you just had to kill him because your date didn't go well."
There was nothing that Makoto could say, she did kill him and managed to break Naru's heart in the process. In a way, it was even as in both girls had their loss with the same man however she didn't expect Naru to say that directly to her. Naru was still annoyed yet she was crying, her Masato was gone and he knew that he was changing from this relationship. Had it continued, Nephrite would have been a reformed man and would have disconnected himself with the other generals and Queen Beryl. Naru could have introduced him to her friends. Not Usagi though but Umino. Still the redhead sat down with tears dropping while stroking his cold face hoping that that he would reached a happy afterlife.
As she was walking away, Makoto sniffed as she struggled to see due to her tears in her eyes, "Why did I had to do it?... He broke my heart... I thought that he was the one for me... He understood me but then he just had to lie... He didn't want me... He wanted Naru... They're right... I'm a monster..."
It was also no coincidence that Naru the next day sadden with the lose of her boyfriend Masato that she spread rumours about Makoto all over Azabu-Juban based on what she saw. The only flaw with Naru's plan was that Usagi and Ami happen to befriend Makoto despite the rumours however this caused a conflict between the Senshi and the non-Senshi in Juban Junior High.
