The Truth Revealed
Rei sat there wondering how the hell she wedged herself into this corner. It really started yesterday after finishing off that youma and she hadn't eaten or slept since. She had countless opportunities to tell him, but put it off by saying there would always be another chance. Unfortunately this was it, there were no more chances.
Flash back
"Girls, you have fought well but there are important matters to discus." Luna began leading the weary eighteen year olds back into the Hino's back room they always met in. "However you're getting older now I'm sure you all realize what will happen in three years time." The exhausted mood turned somber as the five girls considered the great battle and rise of Neo-Queen Serenity that loomed in the distance. "I know that you all want to have normal lives so I have to tell you that there are two choices: First break off all romantic relationships before Usagi's accent to the throne in order to protect your loved ones…… Or though dangerous, there is another option..."
"Luna please just tell us," said Lita soberly as if dreading the next option.
"We, Artemis and myself, have come to the conclusion from data gathered from the Starlights that we may be ale to allow your boyfriends to stay in a safe house until the fighting ends….. However this will be perilous and they will need to know everything.

Rei
'Well it's now or never.' Rei thought to herself as she walked down the hallway, growing more hesitant with each step. She clutched the 8' by 10' inch notebook closer to her taking comfort in the kanji on the front of it reading "Truth" After an eternity she reached his room and knocked hesitantly on the door, "Chad can I come in?" she said in a tone quite softer and more gentle than she had used in a long time.
She could hear him scrambling about behind the door. With her grandpa sick in bed most of the time they didn't have to worry about him hearing. "Sure Rei," Chad said opening the door and let his raven-haired goddess in the room. She pulled the chair away from it's desk and sat down while he took a his place on the side of the bed.
"Look Chad with Grandpa sick and all there's something we need to talk about…" She said precariously as if one wrong move would upset the delicate balance of reality that was already perched on a knife-point.
"Uh, sure Rei what about?"
"Well, Look there's no easy way to say this so I'm just going to be blunt. Chad there are some really bad people after me-"
"WHAT! Who? I'll protect you Rei!" he shouted standing up with both fists raised in conviction.
"Listen! It's not like that; you can't do anything against them." She said her voice softening, "They're more powerful than you can imagine, so I'm giving you a choice. You can walk out of here right now and not look back, that way you can be safe-"
His mood turned serious "Rei now it's your turn listen to me," He said taking her chin delicately in one hand, "I will not leave you to deal with what ever this is by yourself. I'm always here."
"I was afraid you would say that. But are you sure? Every moment I'm near you your life's going to be in more and more danger."
"It can't be that bad. Did you do something illegal? Get on the wrong side of some yukuza gang?"
"No, that's not quite it, I guess it all started the day I met Usagi."
"She's part of this too?"
"She is the reason for everything that's happened."
