Author's Notes: I know this seems like it will be a strange crossover… I promise you guys will like it. I hope you all enjoy the story that I'm writing for all of you… and I haven't forgot about all my other stories and fans for the other stories, especially not 'A terrible Mess' though I haven't updated for awhile, at least for me it's been awhile.
Rei Hino is a mix of her manga and anime version self. In the manga, Rei doesn't care too much for men unlike her anime-self who can come off as slightly boy-crazy which the English Dub made it over the top compared to the Japanese anime version. However, even in the anime, she was the least likely to go after a guy in comparison to the other sailor senshi (outside of the first season when she went after Mamoru.)
Most of the characters will be a mix of the anime and manga versions of their personalities.
Summary: Rei has been sent on a mission that she hasn't told the other scouts about; the mission involves a portal that Trista sensed. Rei leaves her private school before they made it into two buildings: one of boys and another for girls. The one sector for boys now contains Ken Ichijouji, who she meets before she leaves and he develops a little crush on her, so he visits the shrine a lot. Rei meets Tai, who also likes to bother her for the fun of it because he likes her… Beware I'm not good at summaries, but please enjoy my story.
Ch1: The Story Begins
Tai's High School
5:30am - 12:45pm
The teacher went on and on, the lecture felt like it had started forever ago. Tamaguchi-san was epic foor being known as the most monotone speaker in the world. It was said that he could make sex sound boring to a bunch of middle schoolers; it was also said that his vows were so boring at the altar that his wife couldn't take it and left him before the proceedings were over. It was this reason that Tai sat impatiently, tapping his foot, drumming his pencil on the table, waiting for the man to say something interesting or just shut up. He doubted either would happen in his lifetime.
Eyes fluttering open and closed, Tai tried to stay awake; he needed to stay awake if he were to get a good grade. Without that grade, he couldn't play soccer. Without soccer, he couldn't impress Sora to win her over, and if he couldn't impress Sora then there was no way he could be happy. The game was on Saturday and today was Monday... only six more days, or was it five. He was too tired to think.
Tai's tan face looked drained from all the exhaustion that seemed to be involved with school. 'Why does school have to be so boring?' Tai thought to himself, his thoughts drifted to Agumon and going to the Digi World after school. He was trying to stay awake, but sadly failing and before he knew it, his head hit the desk and his mouth was wide open with drool spilling over, his messy brown covering most of the brown top.
Sora watched as one of her best friends fell asleep in class and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Tai's inability to pay attention. 'Doesn't Tai know in order to pass a class, he has to at least try to pay attention?' Sora thought, feeling sympathetic for her fallen friend. She didn't want to make him mad by waking him up, but she had to do something… so… she tried to slyly kick him awake without anyone noticed but ended up missing, knocking him out of his seat.
At that moment, Tai fell to the ground with a thud that sounded as loud as thunder. His face red, nerves bothered, and confused, Tai got up and yelled out at the top of his lungs,"Kari, stop pushing me out of my bed! I told you to sleep in your own bed!"
He looked around, his face reddening, as he realized exactly where he was. It was worse than the nightmare he was having: Myotismon chasing him around in diapers. The whole class was laughing at him which made him more embarrassed. Eventually the class settled down after seeing the teacher having a chat with the principal. Next to the principal was a person whom he assumed was a girl, since he couldn't see her face from his position in the classroom, but he could see her long hair.
When the principal finally moved, Tai could see that he girl was glaring at him. He was unfazed by her cold look but was taken aback when he looked at her face. Doing a double take, he gaped openly at her. He had never seen a girl with such elegance, not even the one he considered the most beautiful: Sora.
Yes, Sora was a very attractive girl with the perfect personality to match, but she was a simple one. She had medium length brown-orange-ish hair that went down to her shoulders, with pretty reddish eyes that shined with the power of love. She was a very slim and she had a very motherly, loving, beautiful personality. Her skin tone was a peachy color, and though she was somewhat of a tomboy she was still pretty. But still, Sora could not compete in Tai's eyes with this model-like girl in front of him.
Matt nudged him on the shoulder to sit down and whispered something in his ear that sounded like 'Who's the model?' causing Sora to look back at Matt and flush in anger.
The girl had long shiny black hair that went past her thin waist. She had the eyes the color of royalty, a deep violet, and they shined with determination and fire that neither Tai, Matt or anybody had ever seen a normal person have. Her fair skin was soft and smooth. On her face she had perfect cherry lips that seemed to have a natural gloss to it. She wore no make up, being the simple priestess that she was; the girl had no reason to try to make herself more beautiful, because she didn't want to attract men. She smelled of lavender and was possibly the only person who could frown and make you blush because she still looked beautiful doing it. Unlike everybody else, her uniform consisted of a gray school girl skirt and a grey shirt. The bow on her chest was untied, and extremely fashionable.
Even the teacher's eyes had to agree.
Finally, she stopped glaring at Tai and put her hand out to the teacher in a greeting gesture. The teacher took her hand and shook it as the girl spoke. "Hi, I'm Hino Rei. I'm new, from across town. I transferred here." The teacher nodded and motioned for her to introduce herself to the class.
Rei nodded politely and introduced herself to the class. After Rei was done, the teacher decided that since there was only fifteen minutes of class left, he would let them all have free time. Rei didn't even need to try to look for someone to talk to because that moment the teacher finished announcing free period, Tai and Matt walked…or should I say ran over (at least Tai did, Matt played it much much more cooler) to the priestess of Mars.
"Hi, I'm Kamiya Tai and this is Ishada Matt… You look real familiar?"The messy-haired tanned boy said, his smile big and wide-something like Usagi's, she noted.
Rei let out a small smile, figuring that she should be nice to them because maybe they would make it easier for her while she was completing her mission. After all, she didn't want anymore enemies than she already had.
She continued to hold the forced smile on her beautiful face, as Sora walked over. Sensing the falseness of her smile, Sora tried to pretend like she didn't notice, as she sat near them so she could hear their conversation and see if Rei took interest in them, but especially Matt. The violet eyed priestess responded to Tai before he could get out his punchline for his flirty remark next, It didn't take a psychic to sense when someone was trying to hit on her. "Umm… you might've saw me on the news or in a magazine. I'm the minister's daughter-"
She cut herself short because she didn't want them to hear the hate and pure dislike in her voice when she spoke about her father. "I'm Rei, Hino Rei. I came from T.A. Private School. It used to be an all girls school but now it's for girls and guys."
Sora, suddenly interested, asked, " Well, if you went to T.A. High school, then why did you come here… isn't that prestigious school? Why would you leave?"
Rei contemplated her question but finally answered,"Umm... Well, actually, I came here because I was sick of being in a Catholic school full of mean nuns that yell whenever they get the chance. Besides, I'm a Shinto priestess in training!" Rei began to subconsciously sweat. She hoped they didn't become suspicious of her. She wasn't really lying but if it wasn't for the mission she probably would've continued to go to T.A. because you could easily get a job after graduating from there. Also the school has very high standards for all their students and even though she didn't like the school, she wanted to stay.
Rei thanked Kami-sama when she heard the bell ring right before Sora could throw another question at her. She ran away from the crowd that was slowly gaining in size and ran into the halls, only to bump into a skinny kid with a green vest. He had short red hair and dark colored eyes. It was none other than our favorite computer genius: Izzy. Izzy, like Rei, was rushing to his class but for a different reason; his being that Joe took his notebook with all his notes and he needed to get them back for his test next period.
Izzy blushed out of embarrassment as he helped Rei with her books:"I-I'm so sorry… I wasn't paying attention…" he managed to stutter out. "I was in a rush, wait, aren't you Hino Rei?" Izzy had a curious look on his face as waited for Rei to answer. He was almost 100 percent sure that she was Hino Rei.
Rei managed a genuine smile as she looked at Izzy and then wondered how he knew who she was but left the thought alone as she saw Sora coming out of the class. Not bothering to answer Izzy, she ran to the left, hoping that that was her next class, since she was so desperate to get away from Sora and her on going questions.
Luckily, Rei escaped but soon came to realize that she had got herself lost and left the skinny little redhead boy and left her book with him. Or maybe, while she was running she handed it over to Tai so she could escape faster…either way she had no books. And another thing, she was being extremely rude to Sora and Izzy.
Rei groaned to herself as she thought to herself about how the heck she even ended up there, leaving her fellow scouts behind...
Flashback
T.A. Private School
2:30pm - 3:00pm
It was suppose to be just another boring day in the life of Rei Hino, the fiery priestess. She didn't expect that after coming from a two week vacation with Serena, that she would come back to school and find that boys were swarming the premises and had dorms and everything. The all-girls school had officially become co-ed.
It didn't matter what time of day it was, there was always some guy around that was trying to flirt with her, except for one. He was cute but she thought of him as no different from the others. He had blue hair that was kept back very nicely, thanks to the invention of gel. It was up to his shoulders. His face was soft yet masculine and his eyes shined with knowledge and pity. She could even sense a deep presence of pain within them. If she remembered right, his name was Ichijouji Ken.
Rei ran as fast as she could, to the campus, hoping that she could get there before the nuns lock the door. Even though school was over, she had missed that day and she was hoping to get the homework since she missed twelve days worth of schoolwork, which meant she was gone for twenty four days.
She had never seen so much flirting going on in her life. It was terrible! How could the nuns have been so careless? Even though Rei was mad, she thought this was a good thing. The nuns were now less strict. Serena was currently running next to her, and she was slowing her down, because Serena was practically attached to her wrist. Every time Serena saw a cute boy she would stop and say 'hi' and introduce Rei to the guy, hoping that there would be some fireworks.
Finally, Rei reached the front door. She was waving her hands like a mad woman, shouting 'PLEASE DON'T CLOSE THE DOOR!' to the blue haired boy in front of her. If it had been a different situation, she probably would've been more respectful but sadly….it wasn't.
Serena held her strong hold on Rei, stopping her from going through the door. Rei began to shout loudly, "LET GO OF ME, MEATBALL HEAD! IF YOU DON'T LET GO OF ME, I'LL—"
Before Rei could finish her sentence, Ken closed the door, locking them out. Serena knocked Rei onto the ground, a blush on her face, plans of hooking Rei up with the guy forming in her head. Nervously, Ken smiled, blushing at the girl who was yelling at her pretty blonde friend, that wore a strange hairstyle. Looked like spaghetti and meatballs. "Serena. YOU IDIOT! MEATBALL HEAD! I don't WANT to meet guys. BESIDES, there's a rule against guys on campus."
End of Flashback
Tai's High School
5:30am - 12:45pm
Tai walked through the halls looking for Rei because he found out from his teacher that he had co-ed gym with her and the teacher asked him to go looking for her. He had been searching for about fifteen minutes and was starting to think the new girl ditched school. He wished that he could've joined her, but there was still the soccer game on Saturday. When he finally found her, she had small device in her hand and she was speaking to… a cat?
Author's Notes: I know this is different from my other many stories where I start it all angst and somewhat very tragic. I hope you all enjoyed it… this should be a very good story once I get past this chapter. It will have a very good plot and probably a little more romantic than the rest of the stories on Please review, and make sure to read the side note.
Side Note: Okay, I know you all read the flashback but here's what I have to say about it. These next couple chapters will have a couple of flashbacks until it explains why Rei is on her mission.
Thanks to: Flames of My Heart because she is awesome and my beta for this story! Thanks to all my loyal reviewers!
