Reaching For The Unreachable

Summary: After Takashi and Rei get into a heated argument Takashi hurts Rei's feelings, thankfully Saeko is willing to help Rei heal

Chapter One

Takashi swore bitterly as he dropped his plate onto the carpeted floor of the house that the group had taken shelter in just before sunset Saya and Hirano were out in the balcony scoping out the surrounding area, taking a count of how many of Them were out there.

"I count about sixty, give or take, Hirano." Saya says as she continued looking through her scope.

"I agree, Takagi," he replied in a short, no-nonsense tone.

Back inside...

Takashi is still angry, Rei couldn't understand why. Saeko came out of the bathroom dressed in her black see through nightie and matching panties, she walked barefoot into the kitchen.

"The bathroom is free." she said softly as she grabbed a chair and sat down.

"You stole from me, Rei." Takashi said with malice in his words.

"Say what, Takashi?" Rei said , bewildered.

"Are you deaf or something? I said that you stole from me!" he screams.

"Calm down, Takashi, we can't afford to be overrun by Them right now." Saeko said in a calm, albeit authoritative tone.

"I was stupid to think that you could ever be helpful to me, I should have left you at the school and let Hisashi kill you so you'd be out of my life for good."

Rei was shocked by Takashi's harsh words, tears welled up in Rei's eyes, she turned and bolts out of the kitchen as Saya and Hirano came in off the balcony.

"That was uncalled for, Takashi." Saeko said before rising from her seat and going after Rei.

Rei ran into her bedroom and shut the door before taking off her shoes and climbing onto the large, soft bed, lying face down.

"Stupid Takashi, always bringing up Hisashi." the redhead sobbed quietly into one of her pillows.

Just then, Rei heard someone knocking on the door.

"Wh-who is it?" Rei chokes out weakly.

"Saeko, may I come in, Miyamoto?" the lavender haired sword master asked.

"S-sure Saeko." replied Rei.

Saeko opened the door and walked into Rei's room before gently shutting the door behind her.

"Are you all right? Takashi, I'm sure that he-." Saeko said but was silenced by Rei embracing the taller girl tightly.

"Please, don't defend him, Saeko, I know why he really is angry with me." Rei said in a near whisper as she led Saeko over to the bed.

"Why Rei?" Saeko asked after sitting down next to Rei on the bed.

"I let Alice get killed Saeko." Rei sobbed, Saeko slid closer, wrapping her strong around the distraught girl.

'Alice.' the little girl who had been their group's last vestige of hope in this dark, dismal, chaotic world had been tragically ripped away from them seventy-two hours ago when Mr. Shidou and three of his devoted students kidnapped Alice while Rei and the others were fighting two massive hordes of Them, then the deranged former teacher attempted to rape Alice, but was shot by Rei, as he staggered towards the guardrail of the highway overpass they were on he held onto Alice, smiling sadistically as he went over the rail, taking poor Alice with him. From that day on, Takashi blamed Rei for Alice's death.

"Rei, listen to me." Saeko says, reaching over and gently lifting Rei's chin up so that their eyes met.

Rei looks up at the beautiful sword master, tears still streaming down her face.

"Rei, Mr. Shidou was the one who caused Alice's death, not you." Saeko says softly before reaching out to wipe away Rei's tears.

"Saeko." Rei said,

"No one besides Takashi blames you for what happened to Alice, believe me." Saeko tells the other girl as she begins caressing Rei's bare right thigh.

"Thank you, Saeko." Rei said, but then she sees something that makes her eyes nearly pop out of her head.

Rei's eyes were instantly drawn to the enormous bulge in Saeko's jeans.

"Wow." Rei said.

Saeko looked down and blushed furiously, she gets up to leave but Rei stops her, pulling Saeko back down onto the bed.

"It seems that you've been holding out on me, Ms. Bushijima." Rei said seductively.
