Play With My Heart, I'll Play With Yours

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, just borrowing.

Author's Note: This is my first attempt at a story in over 2 years. I wasn't very good back then, and I'm not very good now. But it's worth a shot isn't it?

"You're back…" The words that slipped from the blonde's lips were almost lost in the wind before it reached the woman, whose back was conveniently turned to her. Minako stepped one step further away from the figure when she received no answer. "Damn it Rei, what the hell is wrong with you," Minako's face twisted in anger when the brunette still hadn't acknowledged her presence.

The figure's shoulders sagged slightly for a moment before she finally turned to face her companion. "How'd you get passed the rent-a-cops?" Rei smirked but the smile never touched her eyes.

"Well you know me Rei, I always have my ways." Minako, who's anger turned down a notch at being noticed, smiled half heartedly and raised her arms to give the other women the notorious victory sign. Minako already promised herself to be brave before she broke into the rock-star's hotel suite via balcony. The balcony in which they were currently occupying.

"Can't be Sailor V and a Olympian gold medalists without having some tricks up my sleeves can I?" Rei considered the words that were spoken, only to look down and slowly walk towards Minako and take one the blonde's smooth hands in hers.

"Happy to see you're still the cocky little girl I left behind . I knew I should've doubled up on security," Rei whispered and when Minako suspiciously raised her chin upwards to stare into Rei's eyes, she tried fruitlessly to ignore the twinge in her chest.

'I'm going try to forget that comment, but if she thinks she's going to get me this way…'

The rock star abruptly dropped Minako's hands and laughed. The blonde bristled in anger at the action. Back when they were together, it was no secret that Minako always had the upper hand in their relationship. And being the goddess of love she reveled in it, you can even go as far as saying she thrived in the notion of being the one in control.

"That was brave of you." Minako spat, but only received another irritating laugh in return. "Rei…" She said.

Rei took a seat on one the comfortable looking chairs nearby and effectively ignored Minako's call. She took a sip of the beer she had forgotten she was holding and looked out over the view of Tokyo's bright city lights.

"Rei"

"…"

"REI!"

"…"

"Why you selfish little bi-"

"Mina stop it!" Rei answered finally showing some emotion aside from arrogance. Not noticing how the long lost pet-name unconsciously slipped past her lips.

"Stop what Rei? And you're calling me Mina now? You are selfish Rei-SAN! I honestly don't even know why I came here, because apparently you're just a whole different person now aren't you." The last part of her sentence more of a statement then a question. At this time Minako found herself beginning to break and her resolve was almost completely gone, but she dared not show Rei.

"Fine, get the hell out then." Rei stated simply, maybe almost too nonchalantly.

"Fuck you."

Rei's eyes hardened and the words just flew out, "No Minako fuck you! I didn't ask you to come here. So whatever it is that you want from me forget it."

Minako tried to suppress the hurt she felt at her former lover's harsh words but couldn't. And when the tears finally sprang to her eyes she couldn't help but silently curse herself for her foolishness.

"I didn't want anything from you." Minako silently cried when a few rebellious tears spilled past her barriers and ran down her cheeks. Tortuously unaware of the loud gulp coming from the women who's face was downcast, she gave up. "I just…" But before she could finish her sentence she stopped herself. "…Bye Rei"

Rei watched Minako turn her back and leave, pushing past Rei's manager who was coming out of the room to join the rock-star. Hero was nudged to the side a little and turned to watch in confusion as the obviously upset blonde stepped into the room only to head straight for the door. He whistled when the image of the blonde's sexy body took a minute--or two to leave his mind.

"Well well well, that was some grade A ass if I do say so myself," Hero chided unprofessionally, "You parana!" Then he paused and scrunched his perfectly waxed eyebrows while looking at the equally upset brunette. "Wait…how'd she get up here?"

"oh shut the hell up." Rei said. With Minako gone she finally let her guard down and took a big gulp of her existing drink.

"She looked kinda familiar, men's magazine familiar." Hero contemplated as he snatched the drink from the seemingly troubled musician. "You have a interview tomorrow. You better not look like shit" he added.

Rei looked at Hero pissed for a second, but let it go when she decided she needed to look more like the classy but sexy video vixen she was known for. Rather then a cracked out singer bound for rehab like some of the other celebrities she met while in America.

"Men's magazine huh?"

"Yeah, Maxim to be precise. She kind of looked like that one volleyball player named hottest female athlete of the year." Hero scratched his head as he took a swig of Rei's drink.

"Shut the hell up," Shock clearly written over her face, "Maxim?…really?"

"Yeah, but some of the girls on that list were kind of questionable…" Hero added. He couldn't help but chuckle good naturedly at the rare appearance of Hino Rei at the moment. "I didn't say she was her. I just said she looked like Aino Minako"

Rei looked out onto the busy scenery once more with wide eyes and her mouth slightly ajar. 'My Minako? I mean…THAT Minako? No fucking way'

"Who was that anyway?" Hero asked the dazed brunette.

"Aino Minako," Rei dead-panned

"YOU PARANA!!" Hero exclaimed cheerfully.

Author's Note: Wow, so you reached this far huh? Good Job! Please Review, it's pretty much all I'm asking. Love it or hate it, just write me something. I don't mind care if it's a flame. Maybe that would even put a fire under my belly to prove someone wrong.

More to come if enough people like it.
