Light Of Venus, Flame of the Miko. Chapter Two:
Soft skin pressed against soft skin. Their body warmth kept the two girls from freezing from the cold night air around the bed. The blonde shivered, pressing her underdressed body against her lover.
"Mars-Ko" she whispered in her sleep. The other girl was wide awake though and she only just realized that they both were completely stripped of there clothing. She tried to suppress a blush when the blonde buried her face in the other's breast. She failed miserably. She then grabbed the blondes chin and pulled it up away from her chest waking her.
"Koi, what wrong?" asked the blonde staring up at the raven haired girl. Blue eyes met Amethyst and the Raven haired girl smiled.
"Nothing. I have the most beautiful girlfriend in the universe and I couldn't be happier" Then the two girl's lips crashed together. The blonde's lips started to trail kisses down the other girl's neck. The raven haired girl moaned as the blonde stopped kissing and started to nibble on a soft spot. "Venus" Moaned the raven haired girl and the blonde smiled impishly. The she started to move her face back down towards the other's breast………
"Nani!! No fair!!" Shouted the raven haired girl sitting straight up in her bed. She started to pant heavily and her face turned almost completely red.
"I was just getting into it too" she muttered blushing even more clamping her hand over the red mark on her neck. Then there was a knock on her door.
"Rei-Chan, are you okay in there?" asked a frail sounding male voice.
"Yeah, I'm fine Oji-san, you should get back to bed, you need your rest" she answered.
"You sure?"
"Hai"
She heard feet shuffling in the hallway and then all was silent. When she was sure he was gone she flopped back down on her bed and hugged her pillow.
She sighed in sadness.
The red mark on her neck still burned, but she didn't worry about that, she could easily grab the red choker in her pile of necklaces and cover it up with that. She was more worried about how she might react around Minako, Venus incarnate.
'I've been doing fine as of lately, but these dreams are getting stronger. So strong I even get marks when I'm awake. I don't think I can hide my feelings for her with my past memories getting this strong. What if I do something that could end my friendship with her?' She sighed running her right hand through her hair.
Her other hand snatched up the picture of her and Minako on her bedside table. It was a picture of Minako and her sitting on a seat of a bicycle. Minako had her arms wrapped around Rei's waist and Rei was sitting there awkwardly with a tinge of pink gracing her features.
Minako had been late for school that day and Rei happened to be riding by on her bicycle. Minako begged Rei to let her use it but Rei had not trusted her to ride it without crashing into a tree.
At the time she claimed that it was for the safety of the bike, but she secretly didn't want Minako to injure herself.
In the end, Rei ended up riding her bike to Minako's school with Minako just barely fitting on the same seat. When they arrived, luck was against them. Usagi had decided that her calling might be in taking photos.
Unfortunately, Usagi was right about being good at photography. Excluding that one, Usagi got a lot of embarrassing photos of them trying to get off the bike.
'But you must, she is obviously in love with this Miko-Chan and doesn't feel that way for you' A voice in the back of her mind proclaimed. She sighed and let her fingers stroke Minako's face in the photo.
"Minako-Chan" She whispered getting up and placing the photo down. She looked at her clock which read six o'clock in the morning.
'Might as well get up and clean the shrine now' she thought walking over to her closet and pulling out her red and white Miko garb. She stared at it and smiled for a second, remembering all the times Minako had worn one similar to it while helping her at the shrine. Her smile turned into a more goofy looking one before she slapped herself on the fore-head, not wanting to start thinking any perverted thoughts….
Like her dream…
Rei slapped herself again before going into the bathroom to take a shower and change into her garb.
Rei's Alarm clock read seven o'clock when she arrived back in her room dressed and ready for cleaning the jinja. She grabbed a broom from the wall near the door and walked out into the courtyard to sweep the steps.
'Just because I get a day off doesn't mean I shouldn't clean up before opening' She thought starting to sweep.
She tried to focus on sweeping, but no avail. Her mind drifted to Minako.
'Rei-No-Baka' Thought the part of her conscience she liked to call: … okay, so she hadn't really came up with a name for it yet, but she was still thinking!
'She loves "The Miko" remember?' Rei frowned and nodded her head in agreement without realizing it.
'But what if Miko-Chan is just a crush? She never SAID she loved Miko-Chan' replied her more Optimistic half. Rei smiled and nodded to that too.
'She may have never SAID it, but it's still obvious, she blushed every time "The Miko" was mentioned' Rei frowned again.
'So, Minako told Ami it was a crush' Rei was starting to feel confused, both halves of her conscience were fighting, and it was starting to annoy her.
'Minako never said it was a crush, Ami said it was a crush, Minako never said how strongly she felt'
"That means It could go both ways then!" Rei growled out loud, silencing the two voices.
"What could go both ways Rei-Chan?" asked a voice. Two arms wrapped around her waist and the intoxicating smell of vanilla unique to only one person came from behind her.
Rei gulped loudly.
It was Minako.
"Nothing!" Rei answered hastily, starting to sweep again, pulling away from Minako in the process.
"Nothing? People usually don't get annoyed by nothing Rei-Chan, especially you." Minako walked out in front of Rei, performing her famous puppy-dog-pout. It always worked on Rei, but it wasn't working now.
"What are you doing here at this hour? You usually don't wake up 'til nine at the least during the summer." Rei stopped sweeping to glare suspiciously at Minako. Minako tilted her head in confusion.
"What are you talking about, it's already ten, I'm surprised Ami isn't here yet"
Rei froze and brought her sleeve up slightly so she could glance at her wrist-watch. It was Ten on the dot.
'I guess I was sweeping longer than I thought' Rei sighed and nodded her head slightly, agreeing with that explanation.
"So" Minako started.
"It was nothing Minako" Rei answered quickly before starting to sweep again.
"How do you know that was what I was going to ask? Maybe I was going to ask something else" Minako retorted smugly. Rei Blushed and turned away.
"I was going to ask, before I was so rudely interrupted" Minako started.
"What two plus two equals? That would be four Minako, not fish" Rei interrupted. She smirked as Minako turned red in embarrassment.
"No, I was going to ask if you saw Miko-Chan while you were on that errand for your Ojji-San, you were in the same area after all" Minako asked angrily, trying not to stomp off in a huff. She didn't notice Rei seething in anger.
"No, I didn't" Rei answered, trying not to grind her teeth from how hard she was clenching them shut. Unfortunately, they made a small grinding noise that Minako heard.
"Rei, da-"
"Rei-Chan! Minako-Chan!"
Both Girls turned their heads to the stairway to find their Hime dragging herself up them panting heavily. Behind her were Makoto and Ami chatting casually. They seemed to barely take notice of the fact Usagi was on the ground in front of them crawling up the stairs.
Rei used this as an opportunity to free herself of Minako's questioning.
"So, Odango-Atama made it here on time for once in her life" Rei teased walking up to Usagi and poking her in the head with her broom handle.
"Minako-Chan!" The Hime whined.
"Rei-Chan's being a big meanie again!" But the effort to seek attention was fruitless, as Minako was one the ground laughing at the scene. Of course, who wouldn't laugh if one of her best friends was on the ground and another was poking their head with a stick ne?
"I wouldn't be so mean if you actually made an effort Usagi!"
"But I do make an effort Rei-Chan!"
And thus began the famous tongue war.
OnlyI: Hey readers! I have finally updated as you can see.

Kensuke: snorts and laughs I can't believe that she-
OnlyI: NO REVEALING THE SECRET!!
