I own nothing, just borrowing the characters. (:
Rei loses her memories, and Minako is determined not to let her Rei-Chan forget her.
Raven hair fell like a waterfall, the wind swirling the long locks in a playful manner.
Rei stood near the entrance of her grandfathers shrine, sweeping the walkway. It was nearly winter, her breath visible in the chilly air, curling like fingers. The miko outfit she wore kept the breeze from chilling her, yet was loose enough for fluid movement.
The broom was set down against a nearby wooden pillar as the miko took a small break. From within the folds of her robes, she removed a small pad of paper and a pen.
The ebony haired miko leaned against the pillar, looking down the unswept stairway to the sidewalk below.
She sighed as a breeze swept her hair back, making her eyes water from the cold. Blinking away the moisture, her eyes refocused, and at the bottom of the stairs stood a woman.
Her hair was long, pale and wind blown, the hair at the crown of her head pulled back and secured with a crimson bow. A cream colored scarf was wrapped haphazardly around her slender neck, and a black trench coat hugged her curves. Lavender eyes locked with azure and the woman smiled.
Rei's heart hammered in her chest, her hand unconsciously dropping her pen. It rolled all the way down the stairs until it hit the leather boots of the somewhat familiar woman.
The woman reached down and picked up the pen, before starting up the stairs. The miko froze as she ascended towards her, an almost predatory grin on her face.
When the blonde reached the stair just below hers, baby blues met lavender and she spoke.
"You dropped this" her voice was quiet, yet held subtle strength.
Rei looked down at the outstretched hand and then at her own immediately flushing. The woman the smiled, grabbing the pad of paper from the miko's limp hand, scribbling onto the surface before grabbing Rei's wrist and placing the pen and paper into her hand, closing her fingers over the items.
Before Rei could react, the woman leaned forward, kissed her cheek and whispered into her ear.
"I've missed you Reiko."
The miko blinked several times, the vanilla scent of the familiar woman causing a wave of nostalgia over her. Upon realizing what the woman had said; flushed an even deeper shade of red.
With mischief dancing in her eyes, the blonde turned and started down the stairs.
Rei looked down at the pad of paper: an address and a phone number were imprinted onto the sheet. Finally coming back to her senses in time to ask a single question.
"What's your name?" The miko yelled.
Without pausing the blonde turned slightly yelling back "Minako", and the mischievous blue eyes, swaying hips, and crimson bow were gone.
Rei's eyes were wide and starting to blur from lack of blinking as memories glazed before her.
"Minako" she breathed, and then Rei was scrambling for her pen and paper.
I know it's short, but this is the first chapter of maybe 3 or 4. I contemplated putting the second chapter with the first but I feel like the cliffie at the end was just too good to pass up. Reviews are welcome and very much appreciated, Thanks for reading! (:
