1Completely stunned Rei stood there as the door swung closed behind her friend. Unsure of what to make of her friends sudden advance never have expecting it. Reaching her left hand up to pinch her right forearm she winced at the minor pain it caused letting her know it was far from a dream. Moving slowly away from where she stood, she made her way to her closet and the small hidden fridge there yanking out one of the blood packets while taking note she would need to ask Ami for more. Kicking off her shoes before falling backwards onto her bed letting one of her fangs puncture a hole in the corner of the packet while she suckled idly from it. Willing the vampire inside of her to calm down and not push for her to pounce her friend.

Looking up at her ceiling and thinking over Makoto's words never believing her friend could be that forward to the point of almost kissing her. Giving a slight blush at the fact that she herself almost closed the distance between their lips, only to have Makoto pull away just before she did. Giving a soft growl of uncertainty Rei tossed the empty packet in the general direction of the trash can. Hearing it hit the wall then floor only to cause another growl to come forth at missing. 'What exactly is she looking for? Knowing what I am.. The monster I am... how can she even consider anything with me or the vampire inside?'

Sighing softly Rei reached up grabbing ahold of one of her pillows to hug close to her as she thought. Snarling lightly at the thought of the Vampire inside, knowing the danger it can be to Makoto and everyone around her if she did loose control of it. Closing her eyes tightly not knowing what to do for sure. Knowing she did want to spend time with the woman get to know her better but not chance her safety. Clenching her jaw lightly as she turned her attention to the vampire. Silently asking for its opinion only to be shocked when it asked to be near Makoto. Taking a deep breath and growling softly at it Rei let the demon know that in no uncertain terms was it to rear its head when Makoto was near. To try anything to woman or to even try to escape its boundaries. Letting it know the vampire had to behave its self if it truly wanted Rei to actually let Makoto close. To try for something more then their usual friendship.

Hugging the pillow tighter Rei allowed a grin to pass over her lips as she got the begrudging agreement from the demon. Knowing she had won a small battle but not the war. She let her thoughts turn to what she would say to Makoto tomorrow and what kind of entrance she would make in front of the other woman. Deciding quickly though that she would give Makoto a run for her money, and show her that one may get pleasantly burned by the pyro. Letting her body finally relax even with the knowledge she had yet to grab a quick shower or change into night clothes Rei slowly fell into a dreamless sleep.

Waking slowly in the morning to pounding on her door and Yuuichirou yelling at her to wake up. Yawning before taking her time to stretch out slowly she glanced at the time only to jack knife in bed realizing it was already early afternoon. "I'm awake Yuuichirou you can stop abusing my poor door. I don't want to have to replace it."

"Hai Rei, just following you grandfathers orders to wake the sleeping beauty of the Hikawa Jinja." Blushing slightly at the thought of Rei laying partially naked on her bed playing through his mind, even though he had yet to see the sight. "There was a phone call for you earlier from Usagi also something about needing to talk to you ASAP."

Growling softly as she stood up, stretching out once more before looking down at herself and wrinkling her nose noticing she was still in her clothes from last night. Sighing slightly in defeat Rei grabbed a change of clothes and the like to go get a shower and dressed for the day. Walking silently to the door during Yuuichirou's little speech she slammed the door open. Glaring at his blushing face from the corner of her eye before she slammed the door shut and headed for the bathrooms. "I'll call her back after I'm finished in the shower. Try peaking like you did the last time and I'll rip your eyes out this time Yuuichirou."

Gulping as quietly as possible but not quiet enough that it didn't catch Rei's attention causing her to smile crookedly. Yuuichirou turned to moved back towards the main part of the temple and to let Rei's grandfather know she was awake. And to keep himself out of trouble with the shrine maiden that was obviously in a foul mood for some reason.

Tossing the phone on her bed she sighed slightly. 'Why me? Why does something always come up with Usagi-baka that she needs my help with it?' Sneering slightly Rei glanced up at the clock annoyed to see it was already passed noon. 'Thank god I convinced her to get Minako and Ami to help her with whatever her issue with Seiya was.'

Snagging the phone back up off of the bed as she fell back onto it she dialed Makoto's phone number to see if the brunette was at home or off someplace else even though it wouldn't be too hard for Rei to find her once she put her mind to the task. Smiling as the phone was picked up on the second ring she spoke softly. "Hello Mako-chan, it's Rei."

Slightly out of breath from darting to the ringing phone from the other room. Makoto picked it up, grinning as she heard Rei introduce herself on the other end. "Oi hello Rei. I thought you were coming over. But instead you call me out of the blue during the afternoon."

Using her right arm to prop her head up Rei laughed softly. "Yes I do have every intention of coming over. I just didn't want to show up when you weren't there then have to track you down using your delicious scent that keeps haunting me when I least expect it."

Blushing slightly Makoto barely kept herself from stuttering as she glanced over to her clock. "Oh I'm home and you have just fifteen minutes to get your butt over here my kitten."

Laughing softly Rei sat up and reached for her shoes to slip them on already having decided to see if she couldn't shock the other girl. "But mistress Mako-chan it takes longer then fifteen minutes to make it from the temple to your apartment. Then this lowly senshi doesn't have permission to enter your humble abode."

"You can have a few extra minutes to get here kitten. And you are always welcomed here. I will see you as soon as you get here then Rei-chan." Hanging up the phone as a small smile played about her lips she looked around the apartment figuring she had maybe closer to a half hour before Rei arrived.

Grinning wickedly as she set the phone back on its cradle, Rei stretched out sighing in relief when she felt her back pop a few times. Looking around she decided to make it known she was leaving the temple for the day instead of just pulling a disappearing act. Moving quickly through the temple she hollered out to her grandpa that she was leaving for the day and didn't know when she would be back. Heading for the garden she stopped near the small pond there. 'Just wait Mako-chan. You will see me far sooner then you expect too, just don't have a heart attack.' Laughing softly Rei disappeared behind a wall of fire from where she stood. Leaving no scorch marks on the ground at all as she did so. Reappearing behind the same wall of fire in Makoto's apartment trying not to laugh outright at the stunned look on the other girls face at her sudden appearance. "Do I get a treat for making it sooner then you thought?"

"Wh-wh..... how did you get here so fast?" She questioned as she about fell over from the severe shock of almost walking straight into Rei who just suddenly appeared in her home.

Snaking her arm out to steady the other senshi Rei couldn't help but let the mischief show in her violet eyes. Pulling Makoto close to her she leaned in to let her breath play teasingly over Makoto's ear. Smiling wickedly to herself as she heard more then felt the other woman's breathing pick up. Whispering softly so even Makoto had to strain to hear her, "Now now Mako-chan I may enjoy having to catch you and hold you close, maybe even," pausing for a moment Rei tilted her head down almost letting her lips come into contact with the soft skin of Makoto's neck. "Nibble a bit on certain parts to see how you would react."

Barely biting back on the small squeak that came to the for at feeling Rei's breath caress her skin. Makoto finally found it in her to pull back a bit out of the trance like state Rei's actions seemed to put her in. Never having thought the miko she knew could be so forward. She had figured on the passionate, Rei had always showed that part of her in anything she devoted herself to. Something Makoto had come to admire and love about the other woman. But the forward teasing was something she hadn't expect and was thrown for a loop. Smiling crookedly to herself she knew two could play this game and she intended to give as good as she got. "Now now my kitten I said no biting. Atleast just yet, now no more dodging and explain to me how you got here so fast and almost gave me a heart attack."
