Chapter 1

It had been nearly a year, maybe more since they had seen each other last. She did not remember, nor did she seem to care, as she continued to sweep. It'd been raining non-stop for a while now, but she felt nothing. It seemed as if almost every emotion had left her that day, held by another person, who she swore never to see again. She tilted her head to the heavens, stepping from the safety of the roof.

Rain instantly covered her pail frame, going through her cloths causing them to cling to her much like a second skin. Her body trembled involuntarily, but she appeared to take no notice of it. "Do you miss me, as much as I do you Seto…." Floated from her lips, a single tear making its way down her cheek.

She couldn't remember when she'd last spoke his name, the memories of their last encounter still fresh in her mind. Each time the thoughts entered her mind, she quickly remembered her anger also. Soon several tears joined the first as thoughts of what she'd given up seemed to echo in her head, causing her to feel the pain of loss over and over again.

"Rei-chan!" a voice called. "Rei-chan, are you ok?" it continued to call, and this call broke her from her thoughts.

Everything hit her at once, and suddenly she could feel how cold her body had become. She got to her feet not even realizing she'd fallen to her knees and replied to the person. "Hai, Minako-chan."

"Did you know your soaking wet?" the other girl questioned.

"no, must have spaced out again." Rei admitted fallowing Minako back to the safety of her bedroom in order to change her clothing.

As Rei's figure disappeared inside her closet, Minako continued talking kneeling on one of the mats on Rei's floor. "You're thinking about him again aren't you?" she questioned even though she'd already figured out the answer. "You should go to him, its quiet, I'm sure….."

"I can't do that Minako-chan… he hates me and everything about me. He's just like all the other men, selfish pigheaded and completely disrespectful to women. He doesn't know how to treat anyone properly, woman being the worst targets." Rei argued but in her heart it sounded like she wanted nothing more than to convence herself of that, then perhaps she could explain her way out of this pain.

"You know you're just lying to yourself." Minako continued "at least sit down and write to him…" she insisted. "at least….do that much. You don't have to mail it…..just try."

"Why should you care Minako-chan, shouldn't you be focousing on your singing?" Rei pointed out, now fully dressed, wet cloths ready for the hamper in one hand and a red pen in the other. In fact before Minako had even suggested anything, she'd been tossing that very idea around. Perhaps if she put her feelings down on paper, she could completely forget he ever existed and go back to disliking anything to do with the male gender in general. Discarding the clothing, she set to work putting pen to paper.. Minako smiled excusing herself confident that her friend would be ok.

She'd had been concerned when she'd seen all four of her best friends falling into similar states of deep depression. Fearing that she'd lose any one of them at any given time, she'd informed her manager she'd be taking time away from singing in order to assist her friends and make sure they'd be alright. As the shrine faded from view, the famous pop Idol could only hope that Rei would not be the first to fall.

Back in Domino, Seto had managed to keep himself busy between school and running Kaiba corp. Often he'd lock himself in his office, and not take any calls or handle any company business. Instead he spent those long hours glued in front of his laptop. Seemingly slaving away at some unknown project, not even his younger brother, Mokuba, knew off.

Ever since Hino, Rei had entered his life, she'd changed him in ways he'd never thought possible. She'd caused him to crack much of that hard shell he'd perfected over the years, and she'd even gotten him to smile and laugh, and take more value out of life. When she'd left it felt like a part of him had died.

"Why did I have to fight with her…" he questioned himself scolding himself while repeatedly pounding his fist into his oak desk until he bled. "I had to go and call her friends "worthless…"" he continued, as the sticky substance snaked its way across to his computer pooling just at its base. Many emotions seemed to explode inside of him as he fought to control it.

He increased his hours at the office, and took on extra work at school hoping that keeping busy would help him to forget. He had even hosted another terment, wondering if she'd show up and challenge him, but she never came. He spent many long hours in front of his computer, a blank page up as he thought of how to begain to appoligize for his actions, but nothing seemed to satisfy him. What could he say that wouldn't make anything worse? Nothing, nothing he thought of would seem to do. Finally he just began typing everything he felt, trying to describe his feelings, thoughts, and every emotion, into something as simple as spoken word… but…. He couldn't even seem to perfect that task. This only brought on more anger, and the cycle would repeat itself in a never-ending loop.

He stood, his body showing the signs of a person hanging by a thread. Unable to walk much less think, he left his office not bothering to hide his work. He feel into bed house shoes and all catching up on some long over-do sleep.

Seeing his older brother's office open for the first time in gods knows how long, Mokuba thought he'd help his brother out and shut everything down. A draft of a letter, written for Rei, lay displayed before him. The younger of the Kaiba brothers gave a knowing smile printing the letter before shutting down the laptop. Locking the office the child hurried down to an used part of the house. No one ever had ever used it before, and it'd been kept locked for as far back as he could remember, why remained to be unknown but the child had a good guess.

Hoping he was right, he unlocked the door, pushing and tugging on it, the sliding function being broken due to a serious lack of use. Mokuba cringed at the sound hoping it would wouldn't alert any other occupants inside the large home. So far it hadn't and he could breathe easy in the facts. A stench entered the young boy's nose, but he couldn't give up. "Bingo…" he'd whispered the room being exactly where he'd been searching for.

"Noah…." He called quietly, careful not to trip any of the many wires lining the steel flooring. "Noah, can you here me…" the child called covering his eyes a moment as the otherwise blackened room became bathed in light. The contents of the room becoming more visible, making walking a much easier task.

"I'm hear a young male voice replied, as an image flickered to life on a computer screen located in the center of the room. The image looking to be that of a boy with oddly colored hair. He appeared to look exactly like Mokuba, in size and age, but the young boy knew this image was not real. "What is it, have you come up with a way to rescue me?"

"perhaps, though I can't be sure, can you broadcast a hologram of yourself in another location? Say…. Another city in Japan?" Mokuba inquired hopeful his plan would work.

"I've never tried, I don't know that for sure…. Why?" the image replied.

"Seto is in trouble, and there is only one person that can help him now, but… she's in a shrine outside of toyco. I have a feeling that she needs him, just as much as he needs her but both are afraid to speak to one another."

"I can try, I don't know if I can, but I can try…" the boy commented. He longed to be free, but for that he'd need help.

Rei had been up all night writing. She had used about three pens and thousands of pieces of paper, to the point she couldn't even see her floor. Finally she'd finished her letter and prepared to mail it. ::Minako-chan had been right.:: she thought as she started to clean up her mess. As she swept she could hear the sounds of leaves moving but thought nothing of it.

"Rei…" a young male voice called out. "Rei…." It repeated.

Rei froze sinceses on high, she scanned the woods but saw nothing. "Who's there…" she called back.

"Rei… help me… help us… Rei… onegai…" the voice called again, but the young fire senshi couldn't place a face with the voice.

"Who are you show yourself!" she called much louder this time prepared to fight whatever she happened to see.

Off in the distance a figure started to fade in and out of view. Finally after several moments it stopped becoming solid. "Help us Rei…. Seto desperately needs you…." The image called. "I should know I'm his brother."

"Mokuba…. What are you doing out here by yourself…. Does Seto-…" Rei begun to scold the person, or rather the person she'd thought the image to be, but quickly stopped short when she managed to get a good look. "You aren't Seto's brother…. Tell me who you are or I'll…" she warned a scroll ready to fire.

"Yes I am, I'm seto's lost brother, or half brother… whatever you want to call it. As you know Seto was adopted, but I'm his father's natural child." The speaker continued. "I'm Noah… Kaiba."

"You lie… Seto never mentioned anything about this…." Rei backed up aiming the scroll. AC-"

"please help us Rei-sama…." The image stated before vanishing.

Rei fell to her knees all the pain flooding back. But, what could she do? Part of her felt perhaps this Noah was right, and part wanted to dismiss it being unable to face Seto. "Seto-…." She whispered once more standing. Taking a deep breath she looked to the skies. "I'm coming Seto please wait for me."

Resolving herself to her fate, she hurried back to the temple and begun packing. Minako had stopped by to see Rei and make sure she were ok, and had to smile at the site before her. "Rei where are you going?" she inquired.

"I have a mission I feel that Seto is in trouble…" Rei began. "Don't contact the others I must do this on my own."

Minako nodded not totally agreeing with the fire senshi's plans, but new that arguing wouldn't help.

Rei sat down pulling out and counting the money she'd been saving ever since she left Seto behind. She had a feeling she would need to return, and feelings such as those she never ignored. A silver charm bracelet glowed faintly in the early morning light, and Rei wondered if she'd have to put it to use.

::What could be going on….:: she thought. ::I'm coming, wait for me Seto…:: she added as she replaced her house shoes for street shoes those being the last to go in her bag before she headed for the train station.

She could hear her heart pounding in her ears as her feet pounded the pavement. As the train station came into view, she thought she saw a fimular pair of pig tails. As she neared the platform her suspicions had been confirmed. "Usagi-chan What are you doing here?" Rei called out. "I thought I told Minako-chan not to say anything

"She didn't…I….I'm going on my own Rei-chan…something isn't right." Usagi stammered gripping her bag tightly in one hand as their train slowed to a stop in front of them. "No one else knows… I didn't want to get anyone else involved if I don't have too." Usagi finished not looking Rei in the eye. She didn't want the fire senshi to yell at her for making a stupid mistake.

Rei placed a hand on the young moon bunny's shoulder. "I understand I'm getting the same feeling." She admitted. "our train is here we'd better be on it."

"Right…" Usagi agreed and the two senshi boarded the train that would take them back to where it all started.
