Chapter Four: Rei's Feeling
Rei walked home after Ami's mother was contacted and told her that Ami was under major stress. Rei sighed and tried to think back three weeks ago. It was all black and whatever was being said was forgotten. Rei changed into her priestess robes and began to clean the shrine. People greeted her kindly, but she paid them no mind since Serena kept popping into her mind. Rei knew she knew Serena and had a feeling that they were friends, but yet something changed that. Rei didn't like not knowing. She continued to work until it was time for her to do her homework. When she finished about two hours later, Rei laid down on the hardwood floor and drifted to sleep.
"Rei, I think that you need to get away from the shrine some more. Can't your grandpa handle things?" Serena asked. She was sitting on the steep stairs. Rei was standing behind her.
"Sorry, Serena. He kind of needs help running the place and with my mother and father out of town, I am needed here. It just for today. Tomorrow, they shall be home and can take care of the shrine while I have some fun. Let's pray that there will be no attacks," Rei answered. She had a feeling that the next battle will be the last one where they will fight together and not turn against each other. Rei didn't want her friendships to be destroyed.
"Well, my mom is working on teaching me cooking. I have improved. Try some of my cookies," Serena offered, handing a little bag of cookies. Rei took them with a face of worry on. She tried one and didn't throw up.
"These are pretty good," she said. Serena beamed with pride. Then, she stood up.
"Well, I have to go. My mom wants me to help with supper and learn some things. Maybe Lita can give me some pointers," Serena said. Rei looked at her.
"Okay. Bye, Serena. Thanks for the cookies," Rei called after Serena as she skipped down the steep stairs.
"Bye, Rei. Hope to see you tomorrow! You are welcome!" Serena yelled back. Rei watched as her best friend disappeared before returning to her work.
Rei awoke in a cold sweat. She found that she had been kicking and rolling which only happened if the dream was one of most horror or most importance. Rei sat up and cleaned the mess she created. Serena held the answers to Rei's questions and knew a lot more than she was letting on. Rei had a feeling that Serena knew who she was, where she lived and worked, and memories that were gone. Rei looked back on the memories that were completely black except Sailor Mars and Ami. Now she could see Serena and Sailor Moon. Was it possible that she, Rei, was Sailor Mars? The Sailor Mars who, along with the other scouts, abandoned Sailor Moon after something forced Sailor Moon to attack her friends? Rei didn't want to know. She didn't want to know that it was her that helped with the abandonment of Sailor Moon and how Sailor Moon fights alone now. Yet she did want to know. There was only one person who could tell her everything. Time to get hold of Serena.
I hope you liked this chapter. The next one should be the last one where it is about a single scout. After that will be the chapter where Ami finds out she is Mercury and remembers the others, but is told to keep it quiet for now. Well, if you like my writing, check out my sister's. Her pen name is Lady Kagome0101 (it is only that since I originally made it for a friend of mine, but she didn't want it.) My favorite of her stories is 'Farewell My Baby.' The next sequel is really good, so check that out when it is put up, too. See ya! - LadyKagome215
