Hi everyone! This is my second fanfic, 'I Want To Hold Your Hand'. Anyway, I guess we should get started. This one is quite a bit longer than my first, so I don't know when I'll finish it! And, There will be some Mamo-Baka bashing in this one! ::laughs evily:: Well, Here goes ^_~!!

***************************Part*1:Prologue*****************************

It was a lonely day at Hikawa Shrine. Rei was doing her homework, well, sort of. Even though there were allot of things she was smarter than even Ami on, Math wasn't one of those things. She normally should've been able to do it, anyway, but, She wasn't thinking about math.

"Usagi.." Came the words from Rei's cherry lips. She couldn't concentrate. Her thoughts are interrupted by a knock at the door. She goes to answer it. The miko opens the door, to reveal Usagi, "Oh! Odango-Atama, It's you!" Rei says, with a smile.

"Rei? Can you come with me?" Usagi asks. "What for?" Questions Rei. "It's a surprise!" Replies the golden-haired princess. "Alright.." Rei says, and slips her shoes on.

They start walking, and Usagi takes Rei's hand. Usagi's warm touch made Rei feel better. Usagi leads Rei to a house. "So?" Rei asks, "Why did you bring me to Michiru and Haruka's house?" The other girl just smiles, brightly, and opens the door.

Suddenly, the lights come on, and everyone jumps out, "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, REI!!" They all say in unison.

"Guys..Why did you-?" Rei asks. "Because we love you! And, Everyone should celebrate their birthday!" Makoto says. "But, I-" Rei says, and looks down. "Rei what's wrong?" Asks Minako. "I..uh.." Rei starts, but is interrupted by, Mamoru walking in the door. Usagi runs to him, and wraps her arms around him. "I have to go." Rei says, and turns, and leaves.

"Wait!" Usagi says. "Let her go Usa-ko, It's alright." Mamoru says. "No!" Usagi says, and runs out the door behind Rei. She runs down the sidewalk in search of her bestfriend.

Meanwhile, Rei walks inside Hikawa Shrine. She sighs, and thinks 'Usagi.. I can't stand to...' Rei thinks 'To love you so much, without you knowing..' "Rei! I know you're in there!" She hears Usagi say, as she beats on the door. Rei ignores her for a few moments, then let's her inside.

"What is it?" Rei asks. "Why did you run off like that?" Usagi replies with a question. "I can't tell you, Usagi! Just leave!" Rei snaps. "But, Rei! I need to know! Please tell me!" Usagi says. "It...hurts, Usagi." Replies Rei, as tears fill her eyes.

"What hurts?" Usagi wonders aloud. "When I...See you with 'him'.." Rei replies. "But...Why?" Asks the golden-haired princess. "Because...I'm in love with you.." Rei says, twinkling tears coming from her eyes. "Y-You are 'in love' with 'me'?" Usagi asks, surprised. "Y-Yes.." Rei replies, truthfully.

"I-I love you, too..But..Not 'that' way.. I-I'm sorry! I love Mamoru!" Usagi says, tears forming in her own eyes. Rei's heart seemed to break at that moment. Although, She knew Usagi's reaction in advance, She had took a gamble..and lost. Usagi ran out the door, and Rei called after her, but it was no use. Usagi was gone. How could she have said that to her best friend? She knew her feelings would be unreturned. Rei was heart-broken, and miserable. But, No matter what, She would strengthen, and carry on. It was her 'duty' after-all..

Well? What you think? Review and tell me! By the way, If you are a fan of Mamo-Baka, DO NOT read my fics. Because, He dies or is evil or doesn't exist period in almost all of my stories. Well, Until Next Time, Ja ^_~!!
