Disclaimer: I don't live in Japan, although I'd like to, so I can't possibly be Naoko Takeuchi…which means I can't possibly own Sailor Moon. Oh how I'd like to though…

A/N: So…I had this sudden idea while playing Call of Duty with my sister. I was yelling at her to surrender, to which she replied that she would never surrender. Thus this idea was born because of course, Martians don't surrender. And in a lot of the stories I've read, all good mind you, I liked them all, Rei is the dominant one. So with my idea of never surrender, I wanted Minako to take charge and use her minx powers on Rei. What will it take for Rei to surrender to Minako? Well, we'll have to find out. Granted, this is my first fic like this, so any suggestions and ideas are very welcome. And if it's not up to par, that's why; just help me out a little. I'm trying!

Warning: If you don't like senshi girl/girl love, then don't read on and don't get mad at me if you do anyway and get offended. I warned you fair and square.

~Martians Don't Surrender~

Chapter One: The Board is Set

"Stupid exams," Aino Minako, a usually boisterous blonde, muttered as she meandered slowly down the road towards the shrine. "I hate studying."

At this moment, all she really wanted to do was go get some ice cream and maybe hang out at the arcade for a little while, anything but focus on math equations, history, and biology. The blonde sighed almost able to hear Ami's voice in her head. If you get bad marks on another test, Mina-chan, Ami warned.

"I'm going to fail at life," Mina finished with a shrug.

Not that she wasn't already set in that department. The only thing she seemed to be really good at was a) failing at life, b) falling out of love, and c) matchmaking everyone else. She'd even coaxed Ami-chan out of her shell and gotten her to go on a date with Mako-chan. But no luck on getting her own self a date.

For the record, she blamed Aphrodite for cursing her to love the one person she couldn't have. Mars. If anyone was a straight laced senshi who would never deviate from the mission, it was Rei-chan. Rei-chan never let anything distract her from what she wanted. Problem was, Minako had no idea what the miko wanted.

Rei was one big mystery wrapped in a paradox shrouded in a conundrum, and veiled in an enigma. It was bordering on ridiculous. Minako just needed something to spark the miko's interest and then... Minako's thoughts raced with the possibilities. Still, she had no idea where to start, and plotting out how to get under Rei-chan's skin was already draining her energy. And since she was working so hard, why shouldn't she have some fun time at the arcade? Studying could wait for a little while…right?

Having justified herself, Minako turned and strolled towards the arcade with much more bounce in her step. Just one or two games and then she'd head to the shrine. It wouldn't take that long.

"I won!" a familiar voice screamed as Mina reached for the door. "I beat you so bad Rei!"

Minako's eyebrows arched as she entered the arcade to Usagi's delighted squeals. The princess was dancing around the sullen miko beaming brightly. Judging from Rei's expression, she wasn't enjoying Usagi's victory dance nearly as much.

"I let you win," Rei muttered rising to her feet. "I don't like this game anyway."

Somehow, Minako seriously doubted that. Rei didn't lose at anything. It was physically impossible for the Martian to admit defeat and probably fatal for her to surrender. The fact that she had lost brought a giddy smirk to Minako's face. This proved that Rei wasn't perfect, that occasionally things didn't go her way.

"In showdown arcade, Usagi is the winner!" Minako said playfully in her best announcer voice.

"Oh great, double teamed by the dynamic blonde duo," Rei scowled as she locked eyes with Minako.

"Oh Rei, give it up," Mina grinned elbowing the raven haired girl in the ribs.

"Nope," Rei replied calmly. "I didn't lose."

"What a poor sport," Usagi shrugged walking over to Mina's side as Rei marched out of the arcade. "Think we better follow her to make sure she doesn't do anything destructive?"

"Probably, besides we're already going to get the lecture from Ami-chan about being late."

"Great," Usagi mumbled linking her arm through Minako's.

"We'll just have to tell her we were busy accepting Rei's surrender," Mina suggested as the pair headed after Rei.

"Doubtful," Usagi shrugged as they walked along. "Martians don't surrender, especially one's named Rei. And even if she did, she probably kill you right after."

Minako laughed knowing Usagi was probably right. Still, this gave her an idea. "I bet I could make her surrender."

Usagi snorted looking at Minako in disbelief. "Hello earth to Mina-chan!"

"Trust me, Usa-chan, everyone has a weakness."

"Except Rei."

"Oh she has one, I just have to figure out what it is, and when I do, Rei-chan will be all mine," Minako mused imagining her hands running all over the miko's skin.

Oh, Rei was so not going to approve of what she had in mind, but she wasn't the incarnation of the Goddess of Love for nothing.

~SM~

"You guys are late, again," Ami chided in a mother hen tone. "I swear, you couldn't focus if it killed you."

"Depends on what we're supposed to be focusing on," Minako murmured softly sending a pointed look Rei's direction.

The miko scowled again and looked away. This was her house and there was no way she was going to let Minako mess with her head like this. Not that it took much to set her mind racing. She was slightly worried though. The moment the blonde duo had walked into the room, Rei had sensed something was up. As if the devious smile plastered on Minako's face wasn't enough evidence to the fact.

Her guard only went up went the blonde sat down next to her purposely brushing her thigh. Well…fuck. Rei thought as tremors arced up her back. How was she supposed to concentrate now? What was Mina-chan up to? This was stupid. Everyone knew Minako loved to chase the boys, so why was she doing this to Rei? Why was she making things so hard? What had changed?

Rei cleared her throat and tried her best to focus on her history notes. Unfortunately they were a lot less interesting than the affair going on between Minako's tongue and her pencil eraser. Hell, Rei wanted to be that eraser. She wanted Mina's tongue exploring her body; she wanted to explore Mina with her own.

She glanced at the others wondering if they could feel how hot it was in here, even her own skin felt too constricting. She wasn't sure what was going on, but she was pretty damn sure Mina was behind it.

"You okay Rei-chan?" Makoto asked looking slightly worried. "You look like you're choking."

"I'm fine," the Martian replied a bit too quickly. "I just need something to drink. Anyone else thirsty?"

As she waited for the others to decide, she felt a scrap of paper flutter across her leg. She scooped it up and read in Minako's slightly slopping cursive something that confirmed her suspicions.

Do you surrender now Rei-chan?

Taking a deep breath, the miko crumpled the note and shoved it into her bag. Surrender? What was the Venusian up to?

"I'll just go get those drinks," she mumbled rising shakily to her feet.

"Hurry back," Minako practically purred at her.

A vein pulsed in her temple, but no one else seemed affected. Was this just in her head? Well, that wouldn't explain the liquid heat in her gut. As she struggled towards the door, her foot caught on the edge of the table sending her crashing back down. Immediately, her cheeks went brilliant red.

"Falling for me already?" Mina whispered. Or was it just her imagination?

Rei leapt back up to her feet quickly smoothing out her skirt, that had ridden up in the process.

"Well, that was…um…graceful," Mako-chan said trying to stifle a giggle.

"And you call me ditzy," Usagi said bursting into a fit of laughter.

The miko turned without a word and stomped into the kitchen. What the hell was wrong with her? Away from the senshi of love, her mind cleared a little and the almost painful heat in the base of her stomach alleviated slightly.

"Holy shit," she murmured taking a series of deep breaths. "Calm down Rei, just calm down."

After a few minutes of composing herself, she grabbed the tray of drinks and steeled herself to head back. Without so much as looking at Minako, she handed everyone else their drinks, and returned to her seat careful not to touch the blonde senshi. So far so good, she thought sipping her ice water.

Moments later another not found its way into her lap. Hesitantly, Rei unfolded it and gulped as she read the content. That liquid heat was back in full force now.

No white flag, Reiko, but you're wearing white panties, how appropriate.

Rei balled the note up into her fist quickly. She glanced over at Mina, who was smirking brightly back at her. What the fuck? Rei mouthed at her.

Mina merely shrugged and went back to sucking on her eraser. Oh hell no. She was not going to get away with this so easily. Rei would make sure of that.

You want to play Minako? Oh I'll play, the Martian thought mischievously. I don't know what you're up to, but I can play dirty too.

A/N: SQUEE! Er…sorry about that. I just really like this so far. I'm a bit hesitant just because I haven't done this before, but I am excited too. So please constructive criticism only. I'm excited to know what you think and hear any ideas you have to bring poor Reiko to her knees. Hehehe. This is going to be fun.
