Rei's Visions- Bold

It hurt

Every time the black haired teen had to see her in his arms, it hurt.

Every kiss and every hug sent a lightning bolt of pain in her chest.

Every time one of her friends saw her looking at them, they would shake their heads and tell her it was because she didn't tell her how she felt before he did.

And they were right,

She had failed.

She fell too hard and too fast for the blonde haired girl that had stolen her heart.

And how she would pay

A year after deciding to go back to Italy so she could spend time with family from her mother's side, Rei herself was part Italian since her mother and father had been almost about half-Italian, most of her relatives in Italy were on her mother's side. One year later she had decided to return to Tokyo to help with her new music career. During her stay in Italy, she was able to form a band with her cousin, Hikaru, half-brother, Kureno, and family friend, Yomi.

Yomi had black hair and grey eyes. She managed the band and sometimes sang back-up. Her and Rei got along very well and grew up together. Kureno had brown hair and violet eyes, lighter then Rei's, and was her half-brother from her father's first marriage. He was two years older then Rei and was the lead guitarist and male vocalist. Hikaru was the same age as Rei, and whom Rei was closest too. Hikaru had black and white hair, making him look a little like Hatsuharu in Fruit's Basket, and brown eyes. Hikaru was the only one Rei could talk about Minako with. Hikaru was bi-sexual, like Rei, which made it easier to talk about. Hikaru played the drums and sometimes bass.

Rei herself played bass, sometimes keyboard/piano, and was the lead female vocalist. Heading back to Tokyo wasn't easy, but since it was for the band, and she could see Minako again, Rei didn't argue much about going.

"Rei-chan," Rei turned from where she was sitting, looking out the bus window, "Are you Ok?"

"I'm fine, Hikaru-kun" Rei stated as Hikaru gave her a worried look. The bus they were riding was rented by Kureno for the occasion. After all, how many other rookie bands can say they played at the Bunkamura?

"You sure, we have time to walk around Shibuya before the concert." Hikaru stated, "You want to talk?"

"That might be a good idea." Rei sighed as Kureno let them off the bus after reminding them to be at the Bunkamura before six so they could be ready for their eight o'clock concert. Rei and Hikaru walked near Shibuya Station, stopping at the Statue of Hachiko.

"They say he can bring you good luck," Hikaru mused walking closer to the Statue.

"When I was little my mom used to tell Hachiko's story before I went to bed every night," Rei murmured, lost in thought. She loved the story, not only when she was a child, but even now.

"You're like Hachiko, you know?" Hikaru stated before turning to face Rei. "Even though she was with him, you stayed their waiting, until part of you died. You stood loyal and you still stand loyal to her."

"Hikaru-"

"You still love her, even though she didn't come back to you."

"You're comparing me to a dog?" Rei asked as Hikaru nodded.

"Don't think of it as a bad thing. Your loyalty is your most aggressive trait, your possessive and protective, which makes you determined to make sure the people you love are safe and happy, even if it hurts you." Hikaru smiled softly, "You'll wait for her 'till your death, because you love her so much. Like Hachiko, You'll be loyal to the very end."

"I-" Rei didn't know what to say. Hikaru patted her on the head fondly.

"Lets go put on a great show, then go out for some ramen, I'll pay." Hikaru promised. Rei nodded and followed him toward the Bunkamura.

Rei and Hikaru helped set up the amps and do sound checks for the next hour. Rei had more to do because she had to set up the keyboard for their second song as well as tune her bass for the first and third songs. Yomi went around and did a final check before announcing that everything was ready.

"And we have a full house," Hikaru amused peeking through the red curtain. Rei came to his side and looked out; the first faces that caught her eye were the ones in the first row;

Mako had her arm around Ami while Usagi and Mamoru sat next to them. Haruka and Michiru were in the row behind them with Setsuna and Hotaru.

Then she caught her eye.

Sapphire eyes looked toward the stage, a smile on her face as a black haired boy wrapped his arm around her.

Minako

Rei almost said the name aloud, but was cut off by Hikaru.

"That blonde next to the black haired guy her?" Rei could only nod.

"Oh, she's cute; no wonder you fell for her." Hikaru stated casually before walking back to his instrument. Rei followed after stealing another look at her secret love.

The band's first set was a hit, "Bleed it Out" was always a good opener followed by "Nothing for Me Here", and lastly "Pushing me away."

Their next set opened with "Hollywood Girl,"

"And not for our newest hit, I'd Do Anything," Kureno stated before starting to play, Rei waited for her queue:

"Another day is going by

I'm thinking about you all the time"

A vision of Minako went through her head as Rei sang to the lyrics she and Hikaru had worked so hard on.

"But you're out there,

And I'm here waiting"

Minako and Seiya going on their first date.

"And I

Wrote this letter in my head,

'Cuz so many things were left unsaid

But know you're gone, and I can't think straight"

"You're like Hachiko you know?" She hears Hikaru's voice in her head, "Even though she was with him, you stayed their waiting, until part of you died. You stood loyal and you still stand loyal to her"

"This could be the one last chance

To make you understand"

"Rei-chan!" It was now Minako's voice she could hear in her head, "Seiya asked me to go steady with him, It's that great?!"

"I'd do anything

Just to hold you in my arms"

"Rei-chan, aren't you happy for Seiya and me?"

"Try to Make you laugh

Somehow I can't put you in the past."

"I can't talk now Rei, I have a date with Seiya and I'm going to be late!"

"I'd do anything

Just to fall asleep with you

Will you remember me?

'Cuz I know I won't forget you"

"I'm so sorry Rei, I forgot we were supposed to meet up, I ran into Seiya…"

"Together we broke all the rules

Dreaming of dropping out of school"

"Rei-chan, want to walk to school together? I could use the company."

"And leave this place

And never come back"

"You should come to England with me, Rei-chan, my parents wouldn't mind, they love you."

"So now

Maybe after all these years

If you miss me have no fear

I'll be here

I'll be waiting"

"Rei, is it true you're going back to Italy?"

"This could be the one last change

To make you understand

And I just can't let you leave me once again"

"Sorry I can't go with you to the airport; Seiya said he wanted to talk to me about something."

"I'd do anything

Just to hold you in my arms

Try to make you laugh

Somehow I can't put you in the past"

"Sorry Rei, I think she's getting serious with Seiya," Makoto's voice echoed in Rei's head.

"I'd do anything

Just to fall asleep with you

Will you remember me?

'Cuz I know I won't forget you"

Rei's amethyst eyes looked out to the audience as the music softened.

"I close my eyes

And all I see is you"

"I close my eyes

I try to sleep

I can't forget you"

"Na Na na

Na Na na"

"And I'd do anything for you"

"Na na na

Na na na"

"I'd do anything

Just to hold you in my arms

Try to make you laugh

Somehow I can't put you in the past

I'd do anything

Just to fall asleep with you

To fall asleep with you

With you

I'd do anything

To fall asleep with you

I'd do anything

There's nothing I won't do

I'd do anything

To fall asleep with you

I'd do anything

'Cuz I know I won't forget you"

Rei opened her eyes, no realizing when she had closed them. The audience was going crazy, her friends were cheering, but Rei wasn't feeling well. Her vision was clouded and she felt dizzy. The bass guitar in her hands was slipping from her grasp, since Rei didn't like using the shoulder strap there was nothing to keep the guitar from landing on the floor of the stage. Rei's head pounded and a feeling of nausea came over her.

"Rei-chan-" Hikaru's voice sounded farther away then he really was. She must have dropped the guitar because she no longer felt it in her hands.

"REI!" It was Kureno who called out this time. Rei's knees gave out and she fell, darkness claiming her vision. The sound of Hikaru tripping over his drums heading towards her and Kureno yelling for help were the last things Rei could recall hearing.

A groan escaped her lips before she opened her amethyst eyes to see she was back in the bus, laying on one of the seats with Hikaru's jacket acting as a blanket.

"Are you alright Rei-chan?" Hikaru asked her. Rei's head still throbbed, but not as badly as it did before. Rei tried to sit up, feeling slightly dizzy in the process.

"What happened?" Rei asked.

"You passed out after your song, the doctor said it had something to do with lack of energy. What's going on Rei?" Hikaru looked worried, he was always more of a brother to Rei then anyone.

"I've been working longer hours; actually, I've been working longer to help with the shrine." Rei explained, "The last time I got eight hours of sleep was before Minako and Seiya starting going out."

"Rei you need to sleep, you barely have any energy." Hikaru rested a hand on her forehead. "You need to do something about your health; we all worry about you very much."

It was then she decided to talk to Minako, about everything. Rei stood on shaky legs and started out the bus, despite Hikaru's questioning.

Seiya was the first person she bumped into.

"Hey Hino, what's up?"

"Where's Minako, I need to talk to her." Rei stated as Seiya looked at her strangely. Rei and Seiya never quite got along, and this was no different.

"Don't tell me you're gonna try to take my girl, Hino." Seiya leaned against his black Honda with a coy smile on his face. "She doesn't seem to like you anyway."

"That's for her to decide." Seiya didn't like Rei's answer, and that was made clear by the punch he sent toward Rei's head. Rei managed to dodge it and get into a fighting stance.

"Let it go Seiya," Rei turned to see Haruka standing a few yards behind her. "You don't love Minako, you love Usagi, you settle for Minako."

The word "settle" made Rei's vision turn hazy red, her hand came out and grabbed Seiya by the neck, pushing him against the car while her other hand pulled back, ready to strike.

CRACK

Rei stood their, head down, her left arm dangling at her side, her right fist smashed against the window frame of the car, inches next to Seiya's face.

"Forget it…" Rei murmured, "You're not worth it."

"Rei," Haruka looked surprised, she would've bet money that Rei would have decked him.

"I need to find Minako," Rei stated pulling her fist back as blood ran freely down her hand.

"She was headed to the scramble crossing with Usagi." Haruka said, "Good luck,"

Rei had been looking for thirty minutes, and needed a break. She sat next to the Statue of Hachiko.

"You and I both pal," Rei stating looking up at the dog-shaped statue, "We're both waiting for someone who isn't coming back to us."

"Don't be so sure," A soft voice said from behind Rei. Turning, amethyst eyes locked onto sapphire ones. "In the end, Hachiko ends up with his master."

"Mina-" Minako walked over and sat on the bench next to Rei.

"Are you alright? I was worried about you. Your drummer didn't let me see you when I stopped by after the show, so I came here." Minako looked up at the night sky. "I liked your song,"

"T-thank you," Rei couldn't make the words that she wanted come out.

"I know Seiya only went out with me because I look like Usagi," Minako pause and looked back at the miko, "I went out with him because-"

"Because," Rei pushed, "Minako you shouldn't go out with someone who wants to 'settle' for you, you deserve someone who really loves you and cares about you."

"Like you," The response caught Rei off-guard. "I can see it in your eyes Rei,"

"Then why-"

"Because I was afraid," Minako stated, "I never had a relationship with a girl before, so I was afraid. I didn't mean to push you away."

Silence fell on the two as they sat alone hear Hachiko. The streets were empty and the silence filled the air.

"I wasn't sure of my feelings toward you," Minako scooted closer to Rei.

"And now you're sure?" Rei asked resting her forehead against Minako's, her eyes closed. Minako was the only thing on her mind when she left; all she could think about was taking Minako to Italy one day to show her the beautiful sights of Italy that her mother loved.

"Positive," Minako moved closer, pressing her lips to Rei's in a soft kiss. Rei returned the kiss as Minako wrapped her arms around Rei's neck. Rei's nails dug into the fabric of the back of Minako's shirt, pulling her closer. Minako's tongue licked at Rei's bottom lip begging for entrance into her mouth, which she got. Rei quickly got the upper hand when her tongue pressed against Minako's and slid into her mouth, earning her a soft moan from the blonde in her arms.

After moments of exploring each other's mouths, Minako's hands ran down Rei's chest and rested against her stomach before wrapping around Rei's waist between her black T-shirt and jean jacket. Minako let one of her hands run up Rei's back before going allowing her hand to run back down, clawing lightly at Rei's back. After hear a content noise from the back of Rei's throat, Minako was pulled onto Rei's lap, their lips never parting.

"Rei-" Minako's voice was small, her lungs desperate for air despite her wanting to continue her kiss with Rei.

"What is it, Mi-chan?" Rei asked as her amethyst eyes locked on to loving sapphire eyes.

"I love you,"

"I know, I love you too." Rei smiled as Minako kissed her again.

"Please don't leave again," Minako's sapphire eyes begged as Rei smiled lightly.

"Not even in Seiya's dreams will I leave you."

'Cuz I know I won't forget you
