Chapter 7

All she could do was stare at him in shock as she felt his lips on hers. He was kissing her with so much emotion that she could swear she could feel everything he felt! There was love, passion, pain, anger, desperateness, long and so many many other emotions. Then her mind came back to her and she began struggling. How dare he kiss her like that? She wanted to free her hands but his grip on her even strengthened when he felt her struggling. He even pushed her more to the tree, now not leaving any space between them. Because of his mouth covering hers, she couldn't scream, so she made sounds furiously trying to break free. But he didn't let her go. Instead he began kissing her more and more passionate second by second.

She wasn't dreaming right? No,she couldn't, cause she could feel the droplets hit her face. But it couldn't be true, either. Cause right now, Yaten Kou was kissing her! Yaten Kou who was such a jerk and jackass! And she couldn't believe that he loved her either. She was sure that, he was so selfish that, he didn't love anyone until now. Und here he was showing how much he loved her? HER? Bu why her of all those girls? How did she differ from those girls? And she couldn't believe that, she just had declared her love for him. Hell,what was she thinking? That was a mistake, the whole love thing was a mistake. They couldn't be together! No it was wrong! Wrong! Her mind was screaming to stop! But her heart was enjoying that kiss. She felt that she was slowly giving in. She was going to kiss back…

Yaten kissed her furiously, passionately. He poured all his anger, pain, passion and love he was feeling towards her. Why was she being selfish? Why was she pushing him away? Didn't she know how it hurt to be next to her but not to be able to kiss her or to hold her? Couldn't she see he was crazy for her? She thought that their relationship would be wrong and her asking him to stay was selfish. No,it was not selfish! Her denying was selfish! At the end they would both get hurt! And she thought it was right? To suffer? To be in pain? To be not able to love the person you loved so much? Didn't she see that he cared for her too much to let her be in pain? Was she so blinded by her duty? No! he want going to give up so easily! He was going to show her what love meant! He was going to let her know how much he loved her and held her dear!

Yaten felt her slowly giving in and kissing him back. He slowly let her wrists go as he sneaked his arms around her waist, now kissing her gentler and more tender. Rei slowly made her hands travel up his chest as she circled his neck. But then her eyes opened in shock as she understood what she was doing. She roughly pushed him back making Yaten stumble a few steps back. Hurt flashed in his green eyes as he looked at her confused.

"How dare you? HOW DARE YOU KISS ME LIKE THAT? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! JUST LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!" Rei screamed through the rain as she turned her back and began walking away. However she didn't even take one step when she felt a hnd on her wrist and the next second she was once again pushed against the tree.

"Where do you think you are going,huh? Do you think I will let you go when I finally found you?" Yaten whispered to her ear and then bit her earlobe. Rei hardly could prevent herself from moaning. She again wanted to push him away but this time his reaction was too fast, as he held her hands between them.

"Leave me ALONE!"Rei said through the gritted teeth.

"No,I am not going to let you go. You cant just give up on us just because you think it is wrong. It is not wrong!" Yaten said now looking directly at her eyes. Rei gazed back at him and for the first time she saw hurt and loneliness flashing in his eyes. Did he love her that much that he was ready to risk everything just to be with her?

"No, we can't be together, Yaten, it is wrong. And LET me go! You are hurting me!" Rei said once again trying to break free from his strong hold. But again, she was not lucky. Yaten didn't answer this time and instead he kissed her again. However this kiss was not as the previous one. This kiss was much more gentle, tender and loving. As if he was pleading her to stay, pleading her to say yes, to agree to be with him. And this time Rei couldn't say no. this time she completely melt in the kiss. She felt Yaten's grip loosen on her hand. She broke her hands free and wounded them around his neck bringing him closer if it was possible. Yaten let his hands travel along her body and then put his hands at her hips lifting her up. Rei circled her legs around Yaten's waist as they carried on kissing. It was growing more and more passionate and demanding. Slowly,not breaking the kiss, Yaten pushed them from the tree and began kneeling to the ground. Then he laid her down on the wet ground and climbed on top of her careful not to put much weight on her. Need for a breath came and they had to break the kiss. Yaten slowly pulled back and looked at her seeing that her eyes were still closed and her lip a little swollen from the kiss. Rei tried to memorize the kiss forever. She slowly opened her eyes and glanced at Yaten. They looked at each other for awhile, only love and long showing in their eyes. And this time it was Rei who closed the gap between them drowning them in yet another pool of kisses. She gently kissed his lips, then his cheeks and nose, chin, then once again she put her lips on his. Yaten's hand began making its way under her skirt stopping at her mid-thigh. Then he broke the kiss and slowly kissed his way down to her neck. He began biting her neck trying to find her soft spot. As he kissed the spot right under her ear, she began moaning. Yaten smirked against her skin,knowing that he had found her weak spot. He kissed and bit her neck as her hands roughly danced through his hair bringing him closer. After a good 2 hours of making out, they were lying on the ground as Rei put her head on his chest and Yaten hugged her with his arm. Rei felt his heart beating fast against his chest. After all she was glad that he did that. She was glad he kissed her. It was the only way that would persuade her and he succeeded. They could do it. They could give it a chance right? She felt that they were meant to be together. They were so alike each other yet just the opposite. They fit together perfectly, she knew it. She just didn't want to let Usagi down. Her destiny was to devote her life to Usagi and no one else. But she could change that. Her destiny and fate were on her own hands, so she could the both: she could protect Usagi, and at the same time she could love Yaten. Just like Ami. She, too, was risking everything just to be with Taiki. So why SHE couldn't? She was embarrassed of her behaviour towards Yaten. All he tried to do was to show her that they had a chance. But all she did was to push him away and to yell at him. She buried her face in his chest feeling tears burning her eyelids.

Yaten was looking at the sky that was full of grey clouds. Even though it was raining hard and it was impossible to look up with your eyes open, because of laying under a tree, it was much easier, as the tree shielded them from most of the rain. But it was still dribbling. She finally gave in. to say that he was happy was an understatement. He was just so happy that, he was trying hard to grin like a crazy boy. She loved him back and that was all he needed to know. It was enough for him just to be joyful. Her lips felt so soft and good against his. Her skin was so tender and gentle, smooth against his hands. It felt good to kiss her and to touch her. It felt extremely good to feel her under him. It felt sooo good just to hold her. Yeap, he was definitely the happiest man in the world right now. He felt Rei bury her head in his chest as he played with her hair. Suddenly, he felt her shaking slightly. Worriedly he rose his head and looked at her confused.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he whispered gently.

"I am sorry" she whispered raising her head and looking through her tears. He felt bad. Again she was crying. But why? He brought his hand to her cheek and wiped away her tears.

"For what?"

"For everything. For pushing you away, for yelling at you and for being for such a bitch towards you. All you tried to do was to show me that we could be together but what did I do? I acted selfishly and thought only about myself. I only thought that I would be hurt. But when I saw hurt flash in your eyes, i….I…"She hiccupped and once again buried her face in his chest. Yaten rose to sitting position and brought her closer. She put her head in the crook of his neck. He let her cry and pour her heart. After awhile he felt her shaking stop and her crying to sooth. He took her face an his hands and made her look at him.

"Now listen to me,Rei. You don't have to apologize,ok? You did nothing wrong. I understand you. You felt like you were betraying Usagi. I know that you know your destiny and that it is to serve and protect your princess. I understand it, so please don't blame yourself and don't cry. You know that I hate it when you cry. Just know that I love you and I am ready to take every risk for being with you,ok? All I want to do is to hold you, to kiss you, to protect you, to be able to touch you whenever I want, to be able to say 'I love you' whenever I want. I want to be with you. We can make it work. Just promise that you will give us a try, a chance,please?" he said desperately. She nodded against his hands.

"Yes, yes, of course I will give it a chance. I love you too, so much. Whenever I am with you I feel so calm, so safe, so kind… so… so… so happy. I love you so much, Yaten. Thank you… thank you for everything, for showing me how the true love feels, for giving me a chance to feel loved. It is such an amazing feeling to know that you are needed, that someone needs you just as much as you need him,that someone loves you and cares about you. Thank you so much for breaking down my walls that I built for so many years. You are my gift from heaven" Rei whispered as she threw her arms around him and held onto him afraid to let him go like she would fall. He hugged her back burying his face in her wet hair and nuzzling her neck. Oh, how he loved her…

They stayed like that for a few minutes, when Rei pulled back and pecked him on his lips. Yaten smiled down at her and then began giggling.

"What?"

"The others would flip when they know that we are together. Especially I want to see Seiya's face. He always told me that, I would never get a girlfriend." Yaten said winking at her. Rei blushed and giggled too. Then she looked at the sky and saw that the rain had stopped by this time and the sun was now visible on the horizon.

"Hey, look, the sun is rising. I didn't even notice how the night went. Probably now we have to go back. And we are wet. Probably we will get sick. Oh maaan, not again" Rei said as she slapped her forehead. Yatten grinned at her.

"Hey,don't worry, I will be there right by your side. At least this time you wont be alone who would be ill." He winked at her. She smiled a wide smile at him. How she was lucky to get such an amazing and caring boyfriend. She blushed at the thought of him as her boyfriend.

"What?"

"Nothing. I just thought of you as my boyfriend. You are my first and I am not used to it." Rei said shyly avoiding his gaze. Yaten smirked

"So I am your boyfriend now,huh? I like how it sounds." Rei slapped him playfully.

"You are so cocky, Mr. Kou"

"But you know you love me" Yaten said winking at her.

"Yeah, I love you"

"I love you too" He pecked once again her lips and stood up helping her to rise from the ground. He draped his arm around her shoulders and they began slowly making their ways back to the tents. They knew they would be tired in the morning, they knew they would be sleepy and they knew that maybe, they would be sick. But they also knew one thing: it was definitely worth of all that. Cause right now they were happy and not they had each other.

The morning came quickly. Today was hot after the rain yesterday. The sun was shining brightly at the sky and there was a soft breeze. Rei slowly opened her eyes and blinked. Was it a dream that she had last night? It was just a sweet dream and right now she was not with Yaten,right? However when her eyes fell on her dirty clothes, she immediately knew that it was not. A bright smile made its way to her face. The smile that could light up the whole Tokyo. She was beyond happy. Now she felt extremely in love. She was crazy for him. She loved him… it felt good to love someone. She smiled once again when she felt that, surprisingly she felt good. That meant that she was not sick as she expected to be. She looked next her seeing that the girls were already up and she was alone in her tent. She slowly got up and put on brown shorts with a white t-shirt. She exited the tent and looked everywhere, there was no one. Probably they were at the shore. She went to the bathroom that was next to their tent and washed her hands, brushed her teeth and hair. Then she slowly began walking towards the lake, the memories of last night playing in her mind. Once she approached the lake she saw the girls and the guys there. Usagi and Seiya were swimming together and talking,giggling and kissin. What? Kissing? Rei smiled to herself as she looked at her friends. She and Ami were definitely not the only ones who got together with their loved ones. Finally,she thought. Then she saw Ami and Taiki sitting separately and talking quietly a soft smiling playing on their lips. Ami was between Taiki's legs and Taiki had his arms around her as he put his chin on her shoulder. What a position, I wish I had my camera with me. Then she remembered that her phone was with her. She took it from her pocket and took a picture of a couple. Minako and Makoto were lying on the sun sunglasses on their eyes. However she couldn't notice one person. She frowned as she looked around. Where was he?

"Looking for me?" a voice said behind her as she felt two arms sneak around her waist from behind. Yaten put his chin on her shoulder. Rei blushed a little and turned her head aside to look at him properly. She saw that he too had a dreamy smile on his lips just like her. He felt her gaze and glanced back at her smiling wider.

"Good morning" he said

"Good morning"

"It seems we are the only ones left huh?"

"Yeah it looks like that" Rei said as Yaten leaned in and kissed her lips. She kissed him back and put her one hand behind his head.

"ARGHHHH!!!" at this scream the 2 lovers jumped apart and looked confused not fully understanding what was the matter.

"You two are together, TOO?" Minako screamed pointing at them. Both of them blushed and saw that now all the attention was on them. Yaten looked at Seiya and saw that his mouth was hung open and his eyes were wide. Yaten smirked as he put his on hand on his hip and draped the other around Rei's shoulder.

"Yeah, we are" he said winking at Seiya. Now everyone was together as they surrounded the couple. After awhile Yaten saw Seiya smiling softly at him and then it turned to a grin as he held his thumbs up. Yaten returned his smile and nodded at him.

"It looks like we are the only ones singles now,Minako. And now we had to look somewhere else for a boyfriend now that those 3 are taken" Makoto said an amused grin on her face. She felt Ami,Rei and Usagi glaring at her while the guys giggled.

"Yeap, we are taken, cause we are whipped by these 3 girls" Seiya said as he,too, put his arm around Usagi.

"UGHHH!!! Now I have to stay separately! I cant stand those sick grins on those 3's face! You make gag!" Minako whined.

"Come on,Minako, isn't that sweet?" Makoto said making kissing sounds. Now she felt 12 pairs of eyes glaring at her. She smirked down at them.

"Come on,Makoto, we are immediately beginning our search for a boyfriend. Right, right now! Come on!" Minako said as she dragged Makoto by her arm. The coupled looked at each other and then erupted into laughter. That girl was soooo funny. After they calmed down, Ami and Taiki made their ways back to the shadow and sat down. Seiya and Usagi this time lay down on the ground and began sunbathing. Yaten looked at Rei.

"So,what do you want to do today?"

"Hmmm, I dunno, wanna go for a walk? Here somewhere near my cousin lives. Lets go and visit him. It's been a log time since I saw him last." Rei answered.

"Of course, anything for you" Yaten said as he kissed her cheek.

"You are such a cheeseball" Rei said as she giggled. They began walking into the woods hand in hand. For awhile they walked in silence, both enjoying each other's company and the silence. They walked for awhile and then Rei decided to break the silence.

"Yaten, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, go ahead."

"Why me? Why did you choose me? I mean there are so many pretty and kind girls out there. Why did you choose me of all, selfish, arrogant and rude?"

"Heeey,don't you dare to say things like that about my girlfriend!" Yaten threatened playfully. Rei grinned at him.

"I chose you, because you were different. You were not throwing yourself at my feet just like the other girls. You were the first girl that ever resisted my charm and the first one who stood up against me. You hated me and I was furious,but slowly you became more and more interesting for me day by day. And then when we knew that you were senshi and I saw you fighting, you once again rose in my estimation. I liked how you dedicated yourself to Usagi and how devoted you were. That feature of yours reminded me of myself. And that day I understood that you were just like me. We were the same. So my interest grew more and more, and at last I found myself compeletely and utterly in love with you." Yaten answered truthfully. Rei thought about what he said. He was right, they were alike. She was surprised to see that they even thought the same about each other. She too, was interested in him and was amazed how he was desperate in finding his hime. Even though she thought that she hated him with passion back then, she didn't. She now understood that she was falling in love with him. She didn't want to admit it so it was easier to hate him.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice that they were in front of her cousin's house.

"Oh here we are. It is his house. Lets go in" Rei said as she went forward with Yaten following her behind. However she stopped dead on her tracks when she noticed that the door was opened.

"Kengo?" She asked carefully now slowly walking to the door. What she saw made her stomach sick. There was her cousin's house turned upside down. All his things, his creations were broken, the pots were smashed and there were sharp pieces everywhere. She held her hand to her mouth and stood there in shock. Yaten looked from her shoulder and too, was shocked to see the state of the room. What the hell did happen here?

"Kengo? KENGO!!!"Rei screamed as she ran through the house looking everywhere but there was no sign of her cousin. She went back to the door and looked at Yaten with pain in her eyes.

"Where is he? What happened?" She whispered not waiting for the reply. Yaten, himself was worried. He had a bad feeling about all these. He came closer to Rei and hugged her tightly.

"Don't worry, we'll find him, I promise." He whispered to her ear as he patted her hair.

"Well,well, look what we have here. I definitely didn't expect to see our rough Sailor Mars with Sailor Healer. Now the time has come. I said you would pay, Mars!" The two jumped apart and saw Sailor Iron Mouse standing a few feet away from them with a bind on her arm. She looked coldly at Rei. Yaten pushed Rei gently behind him ready to transform anytime.

"Getting all protective aren't we,Healer?" Iron Mouse said smirking evilly. Suddenly there was a movement in the bushes and then a youma jumped from nowhere standing next to Iron Mouse. Rei looked closer at him as he reminded her of someone. And then her eyes widened.

"Kengo?" she whispered. Yaten looked back at her and then at the youma.

"What?" he whispered to himself.

"Looks like, you knew your dear cousin huh? But you see, he was a failure. His star seed was not the real one. But I had my revenge on you. I know you wont be able to attack him. After all he is your cousin, right?" Iron Mouse smirked once again. Rei glared at her, her hands now in fistballs.

"Oh,don't you look at me like that, Sailor Mars! Anyway, gotta go, Ja!" Mouse said and then looked at Kengo.

"Kill them!" she said coldly and disappeared.

"Failure!" youma said as he attacked the couple with a bunch of mud. Yaten grabbed Rei and pushed them out of the way.

"Star Healer power,MAKE UP!" He transformed and then looked at Rei. She was dumfounded and was sitting there looking at one space. Healer approached her.

"Rei? Rei… REI!" She said as she shook her. Rei awakened and looked at Healer confused.

"Huh?"

"You have to transform!"

"No,I cant! I cant fight him!"

"You have to! Otherwise he will kill other innocent people! We wont kill him! Usagi will transform him back to his old self!" Rei slowly nodded.

"Mars Crystal Power,MAKE UP!" She screamed as she transformed into her sailor mode.

"FAILURE! YOU ARE ALL FAILURES!" The youma screamed as he once again attacked the couple, a bunch of mud making its way one by one. The senshi barely could move as they tried to run out of the way.

"STAR SENSITIVE INFERNO!" Healer screamed as she attacked sending the youma back. Youma fell to the ground, however in a moment it was once again on feet as it attacked Healer sending her to the tree. Healer fell to the ground and groaned. EWWW! That mud was gross, she thought.

"Healer!" Rei screamed

"You stay there! How dare you attack my friends?! In the name of Moon, I will punish you!" Mars looked aside and saw all of her friends standing there.

"FAILURE!" Youma screamed and attacked them one by one. They tried to avoid the attack some of them succeeding, some of them not.

"Minna! Healer is right, I have to pull myself together! He cant hurt innocent people! MARS SNIPER FLAME!" Mars screamed as an arrow cut through youma's stomach.

"Usagi,NOW!"

"HAI. Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!" Again a bright light shone as the youma was transformed into Kengo. His star seed turned back to him and he fell to the ground.

"KENGO!" Rei shouted running towards her cousin. She looked at him and saw that he was still unconscious. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Usagi looking at her with sympathy in her eyes.

"Don't worry, he will wake up" She said softly. Rei nodded and looked back at her cousin. Everybody transformed back as Yaten made his way towards Rei. He engulfed her in a hug as she buried her head in the crook of his neck.

"Hush now, I said we will find him. He will be okay" he whispered to her ear as she hugged him back thanking God for such an amazing boyfriend…
