A/N: Hi everyone! This is my fifth fanfic and I hope you would all like it! :D Reviews are very much welcome! :D

It was a bright sunny day and their classes had just ended. Usagi, Makoto, Ami and Minako were waiting for Rei to get off school so they could go the Crown and hang out for a while before going home. It was miracle that Ami agreed to skip the day's study sessions at the shrine.

The four were all talking when Minako saw Rei coming out of the school gates.

'She's the only person who can do justice with that short skirt. She's so beautiful. If I could just hug her right now.' Minako gushed to herself.

She was taken aback when what looks like a blushing lower class girl ran up to the miko bowed and gave the raven haired girl a box of chocolates and flowers. Rei bowed to other girl in appreciation and thanked her. Then the raven haired girl walked towards the group.

"Oooohh… Someone's got competition!" Usagi teased as she poked Minako's sides.

"Wh… What? I… I am not jealous!" exclaimed the other blonde.

"I didn't say you were jealous, I said you have some competition. Caught!" Usagi told the other blonde.

"…"

"Then why are you all flustered?" asked Makoto.

"And you were giving the girl a death glare," Ami continued.

"I… Uhmm… I was doing that?" Minako was now beet red and playing with the hem of shirt while looking at the pavement.

The three nodded as Rei approached them.

"Hey Mina. Are you alright? Why do you look all flustered?" inquired the miko.

The three other girls laughed and this surprised Rei. Minako got too embarassed and ran away from them.

"Hey Mina! Wait!" Rei gave the chocolates and flowers to Usagi and she then tried to catch up with Minako. 'What the hell did I do now?' she thought as she ran.

'Oh Kami! Why did they had to tease me like that and why did I ran away from Rei? It's not like I'm jealous or anything. Ok! Ok! I am jealous. I wish I could give her things like that. Ugh! I am so pathetic!' thought Minako as she ran as fast as she can towards her apartment.

"Why can't they just confess already? They know that it's ok with us." Usagi asked Ami and Makoto as she ate the chocolates.

"Usa! Why are you eating Rei's chocolates?" shouted Makoto as she noticed that Usagi was half way in eating the chocolates.

"It's not like she would eat it. Besides she gives me all the chocolates that the other girls gave her. She said she didn't like chocolates that much but it was rude not to accept them. She was actually puzzled why people give her gifts for no reason," replied Usagi as she munched on the sweets.

"Well, that's Rei for you. She's too kind to let someone down and too dense to know that someone genuinely likes her and as for Minako, she is the Goddess of Love, so why she is still in denial about her feelings towards Rei still baffles me," Ami said as she sighed.

"Aren't we gonna go after those two?" inquired Makoto.

"Just let them sort it out. Who knows, maybe something will happen and they'll confess everything to each other," Ami waved through the air as she said this.

And the three went to the Crown as the other two chased each other.

After a few minutes of running, Rei has stopped outside Minako's apartment and was panting because of all the running she did.

'Ugh. I really need to exercise,' the miko thought as she went to the elevator and pushed the button for Minako's floor.

Rei then pushed the door bell as she calmed herself outside the blonde's apartment.

The door opened slightly and Minako just peeked, her face was pink.

"Minako, are you alright? Why did you run away back there?" Rei inquired as she tilted her head sideways.

"Actually, I didn't know why I runaway. My feet just ran." Minako couldn't look at the miko.

"Do you want to stay at the shrine? I'll cook anything you want to make you feel better," Rei was still tilting her head.

"I don't know…" Minako trailed off.

"Umm… Mina… Would you please open the door? I'm getting a stiff neck with the head tilting," Rei chuckled.

"Oh. Oh! Sorry! Come in!" the blonde opened the door.

"So are you ok with a sleep over?" Rei asked. 'Please say yes! I don't want to see you like this my Mina. At least make me take care of you tonight.'

"…"

"I'll let you read my new mangas I bought yesterday."

"Umm… Ok. Come in, I'll just get some of my things then we can go," Minako shyly smiled at the miko.

'YES!' Rei shouted on her mind. She didn't realize she made a fist and thrust it to the air.

Minako looked at the miko quizically, earning a blush from Rei as she realized what she just did.

They ended up just ordering some pizza for dinner after Rei swept the shrine grounds and Minako was now reading some of Rei's manga as the latter brushed the blonde's hair by her fingers.

"Mina? Can I ask you something?"

"Sure," answered the blonde while still reading the manga.

"Why were you giving a death glare to the girl who talked to me earlier?"

"I wasn't giving her a death glare."

"You did."

"I did not."

"Yes you did!"

"Just drop the subject ok? I don't want to talk about it right now," Minako then stood up put the manga on Rei's desk and went to her futon and layed there. Her back was on the miko.

"You didn't have to be rude about it," Rei snapped back.

"Whatever Hino," Minako waved to Rei to go away.

"Fine!'' Rei then went outside her room and went to sit at the top of the shrine's steps.

' Dammit Minako! I just wanted to help! Why are you acting like this? I wish I know what you're going through so I could help you! I can't freaking understand why you're hot this second then cold the next! I just want to understand you. I want to understand my feelings towards you as well!' Rei was massaging her temples as she thought.

'Shit! I made Rei angry again. She was only trying to help, you baka! Ugh. I can't tell her what's bothering me. I can't read what's going through her head! I wish I would know your side secretly so I can decide if I'll confess or not. Oh Kami! Please help!' Minako thought as she hugged Rei's pillow and began to cry.

'Just give me a break will you! One freaking break!' Rei angrily thought as she looked up the sky.

Something in the sky stirred. Dark clouds began to form.

'Something is not right.' Rei stood up and felt something but couldn't grasp what it was. Then suddenly, thunder roared and lightning flashed. Rei heard Minako scream in panic and ran towards her room. The whole shrine was suddenly enveloped in darkness.

"Mina? Mina where are you?" Rei panicked as she couldn't see where Minako was in her room.

"Re… Rei!" Minako whimpered. She was huddled up into a ball at a corner of Rei's room.

Lightning flashed and as it illuminated her room, Rei ran to Minako and held her tight.

"I'm here Mina. Don't worry. I'll protect you. Ssshhhh…" Rei comforted the weeping blonde as she trembled. In return, Mina just hugged the raven haired girl with all her might.
