"Miss Aino! Aino-san!"

Minako looked over at the flashing cameras and new men standing outside her apartment building blocking her way just to get a damn picture. She managed one of her fake smiles and he snapped a picture then let her get to her apartment. She quickly walked in and locked the doors and drew the blinds in the all the rooms. When she knew it was safe she put her keys on the coffee table then sad down with her legs on her sofa. She let her eyes looked over at the wall by the door and she saw a picture of her chasing Rei on the beach, and Rei had her red hair tie in her hand looking back smiling. Minako could remember that day so well even if it was 8 years since then.

*8 years ago*

"Why do you keep this in your hair? You look cuter without it. No wonder no one wants to go out with you."

Minako glared at Rei and said, "Give it back Reiko!"

With a chuckle Rei ran down the beach with Minako running after her. Usagi pulled out her camera and took a picture giving a copy to both of the girls before Minako left for her first tour.

*end*

Minako smiled and she heard a knock at her door. She got up and opened it to see her manager and let her in. Her manager looked at the photo of Minako and Rei and said, "You had a lot of good times with her didn't you? What's her name."

Right then Minako wasn't going to answer that question. She had many photos of Rei around the house and she didn't tell anyone who she was. Rei was the only one that kept in touch with her after she left seeing everyone else had gone there different ways. Rei called every night and talked to Minako for hours on end well she was cleaning her chores. Minako loved Rei more than a friend and Rei had told her that she felt the same, but be cause of Minako touring and the madness that is paparazzi.

"What do you want Erin?" Minako asked.

"I just wanted to know if you had plans for your little break are."

Minako knew where she wanted to go and she said, "I have plans."

Erin nodded then left and the phone rang so Minako picked it up with a, "Hey Hun!"

Rei laughed and answered, "Hey baby."

"Guess what? I get to visit my favorite girl for a little bit before I go on tour."

Rei blushed then said, "So when are you going to get here?"

Minako answered, "I'll be there at 11pm. I get to stay at my house seeing my parents are gone 'til Wednesday."

Rei looked at her watch and said, "Well I guess I should let you go hun. This way I can clean and you can pack."

Minako nodded and said, "Yeah see ya later Rei."

"Bye." they both said then hung up the phone.

* 11pm at the Tokyo Airport *

"I wonder were she is." Rei said out loud has she looked over the boarding board.

Sighing she sat down to see the only the staff of the airport was here so she thought for a moment then pulled out her Ipod and played the music loudly and began to sing the song with it. (Gotta get through this -Acoustic - Daniel Bedingfield)

"when your love is pouring like the rain i close my eyes and it's gone again when will I get the chance to say I love you i pretend that you're already mine and that my heart ain't breaking every time i look into your eyes

If only I could get through this If only I could get through this If only I could get through this God, God, gotta help me get through this"

Minako heard the singing and knew it was Rei and she knew that song so well she walked with her bags and she sang the next two verus of the song.

"I gotta get through this I gotta get through this I gotta make, gotta make it, gotta make it through said I'm gonna get through this I gonna get through this I gotta take, gotta take my mind off of you

give me just a second and I'll be all right surely one more moment couldn't break my heart give me til tomorrow then it'll be okay just another day and then I'll hold you tight"

Rei looked up to see Minako walking to her with a smile on her face and Rei turned off the Ipod and slipped it into her pocket then hugged Minako when she got in reach. "I missed you so much." Rei whispered into her ear.

"I know." Minako answered back then let of and they headed off to Rei's car so Rei could drive them bother over to Minako's parent's house.

*Minako's Parent's house 11:30 PM*

"Rei! DONT! STOP!" Minako giggled/yelled out.

Rei smiled and kept tickling Minako saying, "No way Mina. I have 8 years to make up."

Minako smirked then stopped herself from laughing and planned to see how far she was limited with Rei. Never testing her line to cross before she leaned up kissing Rei who was on top of her seeing she had pinned Minako to the bed. Rei was lost for a moment then she kissed Minako with her eyes closed. Minako placed her hands on Rei's waist and brushed her finger tips across the part of Rei's stomach that was showing.

Rei loved feeling Minako touch her after so long. It wasn't Rei's fault that they hadn't gone on a real date, they only found out that each other loved each other two days before Minako had to leave for her first concert. Rei ran her hand threw the blonde's hair then went to take Minako's shirt off, but a hand stopped her. Rei pulled away from the kiss and got up went into the kitchen to sort out her thoughts.

Minako didn't want to ruin it with Rei that's why she stopped her, but in doing that she noticed that she had hurt Rei's feelings. Minako go up and slowly walked into the kitchen to see Rei looking out the window. Minako walked up behind Rei and hugged her around the waist and said, "Sorry if I hurt you."

Rei sighed then said, "Sorry. I just ...."

Minako held Rei closer and whispered into Rei's ear, "I know Rei. I just don't want to ruin what I have with you."

Rei put her hands over Minako's and said, "Only one thing could ruin what we have Minako. When you don't want me anymore just tell me to leave. I'll leave and you'd ever hear from me again. That is how we would ruin our love."

"Not even if I cheat?" Minako asked quietly.

"That wouldn't make me leave Minako. I'll always love you."

Just then Minako realized that Rei would do anything for her and loved her. Minako had been going through a battle with herself for the past 5 years and what Rei had just said had stopped the battle. Kissing the back of Rei's neck Minako asked, "How would you like to come back with me?"

Rei was stunned for a moment then asked, "Are you sure? What will people think of you if you have a girlfriend/boyfriend that isn't famous?"

"Screw what they think." Minako said and that shocked Rei.

"I can't stand another lonely night. I cry sometimes missing you and wishing you were there. Come back with me Rei."

"I'll ..... come." Rei said then felt the blonde take one of her hands and lead her back to the bedroom with a small smile on her face.
