Chapter Two: I Found Safety in Her Arms

They arrived at the hotel at exactly seven in the morning. The front entrance of the hotel was filled with reporters and fans that were waiting for Minako. Rei knew she would deal with this crowd, with the help of her fellow policemen who were in the crowd to control the people and the media from entering the pathway where they were going to enter inside the hotel. The back entrance was unavailable at that moment. They had no choice but to take the main entrance.

"Raven this is Eagle, over." The head chief's voice came in Rei's earphone.

"Come in Eagle sir," Rei replied.

"Raven be careful by the time you get out from that car, anything can happen out there, you know what to do. Make sure Aino-san and her manager are near you, and walk inside the hotel as fast as you all can."

"Roger that Eagle sir."

As Rei parked the car at the front door, the reporters and some of Minako's fans started using their cameras to take the pop star's picture. Man, Minako wasn't even out of the car and their cameras started flashing madly!

Rei was the first to get out, and then she opened the right door of the car, revealing Wendy, and then the crowd roared when Minako finally got out of the car. Minako waved at her fans. Rei's fellow agents rushed into action by preventing the crowd and the media from entering the pathway inside the hotel. They were having a hard time doing it. Rei's eyes were almost blinded by the endless flashing of cameras, Minako and Wendy seemed to have been used to it. But as they approached in the middle, most of the reporters managed to slip from the police and dove themselves madly at Minako's direction. This caused them to squeeze Minako, Rei and Wendy in the middle. The other police from inside the hotel went out and helped their comrades on stopping the crowd from going wild. Minako never knew these people were this desperate to get a scoop. Her panic worsened as she was pushed away from the hotel entrance, she closed her eyes in fear. Suddenly, a strong but gentle arm reached and held her waist and then she was pulled back to the direction of the entrance. She found herself in her bodyguard, Rei's arms. Her bodyguard hugged her as the other arm held Wendy, her manager. Rei pushed the reporters with her body first through the crowd inside the hotel. The other policemen managed to close the front entrance of the hotel from the outside as they push the reporters away. Rei and the others sighed in relief when they were finally inside the hotel lobby. Wendy sat down on the huge couch, shocked from what happened. Some of the hotel employees approached hastily to assist them.

Rei blushed when she realized the pop star was still hugging her...tight. Her eyes closed from fear. Clearly Minako was not so used to this type of situation since she had more bodyguards in Europe. Minako was shaking a bit, and Rei knew she had to say something.

"Uh...I-I really apologize for what happened Aino-san. My comrades weren't able to control the crowd...But we are safe now, please calm down...and...And..." Rei hesitated.

"...do you mind if I let myself breathe?" Rei gulped.

-------

I never imagined the media here were as violent as the ones in Paris...wha!? They're pushing me away from the hotel! Help! Ms. Wendy! Rei-san!...Rei! Please don't let them take me, Rei!

"Aino-san...do you mind if I let myself breathe?"

Minako's thoughts were suddenly awakened as she heard Rei's voice.

'The violent media is gone, so is the wild noise. I felt comfort all of a sudden...am I lying on a bed? But I'm still standing. I think I'm hugging something...No, I'm HUGGING SOMEONE!' Minako finally opened her eyes when she realized she was still hugging an out of breath Rei. Her head rested on Rei's chest and both her arms hug-crushing Rei's ribs.

"Oh! I-am-so-sorry!" Minako apologized. She couldn't believe she would do that to Rei. The other girl finally gasped for the air she lost.

"It's-okay...no problem, I myself got scared out there." Rei was still out of breath and holding her own chest. Once she regained her normal breathing she assisted Minako to the sofa and made her sit next to her manager, Wendy.

"If you hadn't grabbed us inside, we probably could have been squeezed out there Ms. Hino, I'm glad you still knew what to do during that situation." Wendy said.

"I'm glad you appreciated what I did. But I'm still sorry for the wild crowd and lack of security men..." Rei replied.

One of the hotel employees gave them something to drink to calm them down. Rei detecting safety, she called her comrades to report their status.

"Tokyo N-P-H, this is Raven speaking." Rei said.

"Tokyo N-P-H this E—er, the head chief. Rei, are you all okay in there? Where are Aino-san and her manager?!" the head chief sounded very worried.

"We're alright. We are now safe here in the lobby of the hotel sir." Replied Rei.

"Please tell Aino-san and her manager that we are very sorry for what happened outside."

"I already did, chief."

"Good. Let Aino-san and her manager rest, they must be very tired by now."

" Um...chief?" Rei caught up with the head chief's voice.

"What is it, Raven?"

"Well...do I have to stay here with them?" Rei whispered nervously.

"Rei, didn't I tell you that you're Aino-san's personal bodyguard?" Rei's shoulder slumped with what the chief said.

"But chief, I don't have any clothes to change to."

"I'll send Rinka to your apartment to get and bring you some clothes. Don't ever leave Aino-san there, Hino Rei!"

"B-But..." Rei was supposed to complain to their head chief when she heard someone call her name.

"Rei-san?" Minako called her, almost whispering.

"Oh, Aino-san. Do you need anything? Would you like to go to your room right now?" Rei offered. Minako must have heard what she and her head chief had talked. Minako reached and held Rei's hand tightly, causing Rei to get a bit embarrassed.

'I think you're the one I need.' That was what Minako wanted to say to her.

"Please stay." Minako pleaded, her eyes were watery. Rei was shocked with the pop star's request.

"Please Rei." The pop star begged. Rei was confused. But she knew that she was the only one who could protect her that moment. She closed her eyes for about five seconds then...

"Don't worry I'll stay, I'm your personal bodyguard right?" Rei said without hesitation in her voice. Minako now held both Rei's hands and lifted them up.

"Oh thank you-thank you- thank you- thank you!" Minako cheered with all the energy she had left but she sure was happy Rei was staying with them. Suddenly Minako felt her knees weaken causing her to lose her balance and fell. But Rei was quick enough to catch her. She lifted up the pop star in bridal style. Wendy rushed beside them.

"Minako, are you alright? Ms. Hino please carry her into her room, she never had any rest since she got here." Rei nodded and called one of the female assistants. She refused the help of the hotel luggage man to carry Minako since the pop star wasn't that heavy. She had strong arms, mostly because of arm exercises she had on gym and also by sweeping at the temple where she lived once almost everyday before becoming a police.

"Please lead me to her room." Rei followed Wendy and the hotel assistant to the room where they would rest for the day.

'This is embarrassing, she's now carrying me...but I love it. She smells like roses, although she's a little sweaty right now. I feel like a child when I asked her to stay...Why did I do that anyway? Stupid Aino...but I felt safe when she's near me...I can't understand it either, I mean, we just met almost two hours ago and here I am suddenly wanted to be attached to this person. Never have I felt this kind of safety from somebody else. Not even my parents, friends or my ex-boyfriends. It's like I want to be like this forever. Is this what they call 'love at first sight'? But Rei is a girl! But maybe...'

Minako thought as she rested her head on Rei's shoulder and began to sleep soundly. Rei was surprised at first but she just left it so that the pop star can rest while she carried her to their hotel room. When they arrived in their room Rei rested Minako's sleeping form in the first bed and covered the pop star with a think white blanket.

"Please rest too Ms. Wendy, you needed it as much as Minako." Rei said as Wendy wiped Minako's face with wet towel.

"Thank you Ms. Hino, I would never know what to do without you. Are you staying here with us? You're Minako's personal bodyguard right?" Wendy looked calm, but fear was still in her voice.

"Of course I am. I'll be with you until Ms. Aino no longer needs my assistance." It's a little vexing for Rei to hear that 'You're her personal bodyguard right?' statement. She would stay because she felt that she was needed.

"I'm really glad and thankful for that, Ms. Hino." Wendy finally rested in her own bed.

Rei didn't have a bed so she had to squeeze herself on the couch near the door. Minako and her manager sure never had a good sleep last night, but she did so she definitely not needed any rest since she was on a full-time duty. Instead she made sure the room was secured. Finally, she was able to calm down and sat on the couch. She loosened her necktie and rested her back in the couch as she sighed deeply. She watched Minako and her manager for four hours straight. She inspected their room once in a while, and even looked outside the terrace in case there are cameras from the neighboring buildings. It's almost noon, so far everything's safe.

Her fellow police and junior, Rinka Kimimoto dropped by to deliver her extra uniform, clothes and things. She was very relieved to have some clothes to change to. She desperately wanted to take a bath. But before she could do that she needed wait for either Minako or Wendy to wake up first. She didn't want them to freak out when they wake up without a guard.

It was past noon, Rei felt her eyes close. She finally felt her limit. She never thought watching her clients sleep peacefully could be this tiring. She didn't realize that she had dozed off on the couch.

-------

Minako woke up and observed the place where she's at right now. After recalling what happened, she sat up on her bed and searched for her personal bodyguard. She had found Rei sleeping tiredly at the couch beside their door. She smiled at how peaceful her bodyguard looked when sleeping. She took a spare blanket from a cabinet and wrapped her bodyguard with it. She searched her camera phone in her pocket and took a picture of her sleeping bodyguard and giggled. Then she went back to continue her sleep.

------

Afternoon came...

It was three in the afternoon when Rei woke up and realized she had slept in the couch. She immediately stood and looked at her clients. Good, still sleeping. It would be very embarrassing if they woke up before her. She reached for the telephone provided inside their room and called for room service.

"Mushi-mushi, can I help you?" the receptionist asked over the phone.

"Yes, I would like you to deliver the best and healthiest meal on the menu for room 507. The order is for two people and to be delivered within thirty minutes." Rei ordered.

"Yes ma'am. Please expect for the meal to arrive within the given time. Thank you and enjoy your afternoon."

"Thank you." Rei placed handset on the phone. Suddenly a familiar voice greeted her.

"Good morning, Rei-chan!" Minako greeted her bodyguard. It seemed that the long sleep regained her energy.

"Good morning Ms. Hino, we really had a peaceful sleep. I hope we did not disturb your rest." Wendy followed.

"Actually I just woke up." Rei admitted.

"I had a good nap...and a good dream..." Minako winked at the confused Rei.

"I ordered something for you to eat. It should be here by three-thirty."

"Ooh that's very sweet of you Rei-chan!"

'Argh, cut the –chan...' Rei thought.

"It is my job to provide you all the things you need as long as you stay here in Japan." Rei said.

"Thank you very much, Ms. Hino. I'll take a bath first before eating a breakfast." Wendy said before she headed to the hotel bathroom. There was an awkward silence when the two teenage girls were left alone. Minako started the conversation once again.

"So Rei-chan, how old are you?"

"Eh? Erm...I'm turning nineteen April next year." Rei was surprised at the sudden conversation.

"Wow, you're too young to be a police woman! I'm nineteen already, so I'm a few months older than you, huh?" Minako followed Rei as she sat on the couch she slept at.

"How long have been in this job?" The pop star followed another question.

"Well, I started as a junior after I graduated from training at seventeen. After a year I was assigned to do fieldwork and surprise operations. I'm still on probationary though since I'm...well, too young for this sort." Rei shrugged.

"So you started early too! Are you still single?" Minako asked out the blue. It was what she wanted ask on the first place.

"Yes I am. And I don't think I have time for relation—-wait a minute what does it had anything to do with me??" Rei glared at the blonde girl who kept her curious, innocent smile.

Then someone knocked at their door, Rei asked who the person was, it was the room service who delivered the meal she ordered for Minako and her manager. Wendy was still in the middle of the bath so Minako decided not to wait for her. Then after the meal was served, Rei excused herself and walked to the door when Minako stopped her.

"Rei-chan, where are you going?"

"...To buy food at the floor canteen. It's just right down the hall." Rei simply replied.

"Why don't you order something for yourself too?" The blonde offered.

"Bodyguards aren't supposed to eat here with their clients. I'll come back as soon as I can."

"Well hold your feet and come back here, you'll eat here with me and I insist!" Minako crossed her arms as she pouted.

"B-but—"

"No buts Hino or I'll make you clean your chief's office for the rest of your life." Minako winked at Rei who blushed profusely. Rei sighed and walked back to the laughing Minako and sat in front of her.
