A/N: OK, Chapter 7 is finally here. Please don't kill me for the long delay. I've been busy lately. Maybe some more reviews would give me some motivation? (Hint, Hint) Anyway, enjoy the update. Ja!

Chapter 7

After Rei heard Rikku's message she decided to give him a call back to confirm she was going to meet up with him. Maybe going out will clear her head a little. Rikku of course was extremely excited and told Rei to meet him at his place later on that night. After getting off of the phone with her cousin, Rei dropped her phone and plopped herself on to her couch. She slouched back looking up to the ceiling, letting out a long sigh. 'I hope this helps me get her off of my mind... I really can't take this anymore.' After sitting there and staring at the ceiling for what seemed like hours, Rei decided that it was time to start getting ready and go meet with Rikku. She got up off of the couch and made her way to her bedroom to pick out an outfit and get ready for the night. The whole time thinking of a certain blonde. 'I wonder what Minako is doing right now?' she thought. After she took a nice long shower and got dressed, she was ready to go. She made her way into her living room grabbing for her keys and jacket until she saw that her answer machine was flashing with a new message. "Someone must have called while I was in the shower." She thought out loud. She walked over to the answer machine and pressed play to hear the new message.

"You have one new message."

"Hey Rei, its Makoto here. Just wanted to see what you were doing tonight. I know you've been having a lot on your mind lately... How about coming out with me and some of the girls tonight. We're all going to club Diesel. I hear they have this new DJ who is really good. Hopefully it would help you get your mind off of things. Give me a call. See ya!"

Rei let out a small chuckle at the coincidence that her friends were also going to the same club as her tonight. "I guess it's really meant for me to go." She said with a small chuckle. After listening to the message, she grabbed her car keys and jacket and left her apartment.

Meanwhile...

"Minako! How come you never have anything to eat when I'm here?!!!" Usagi yelled from the kitchen while digging in the fridge, while Minako was in her room getting ready for the night.

"Because you already ate everything, Usagi!" Minako said a little annoyed that all of her food was gone.

Usagi frowned a bit, but then smiled sheepishly at the thought of what she ate today. She flew in from out of town last night and couldn't help but be so hungry after such a long flight. Usagi knew Minako was right, so she closed the fridge and made her way over to Minako's bedroom. When she walked in Minako was adding finishing touches to her hair and outfit.

"Wow, you look great Mina." Usagi said as she watched Minako look at herself in the mirror.

"You think so? I really want to look good for tonight." Minako said, still checking herself out from other angles.

"Well, you must be meeting with someone really important. I don't ever remember you trying so hard to look so good. You are always confident in getting who ever you want." Usagi said eyeing Minako. Hearing that, Minako turned away from the mirror to face Usagi.

"I know Usagi, but I want to be perfect for her. Sometimes I feel like that's not enough. She never tells me how she really feels and I just want to be with her and only her." Minako said before letting out a small sigh. Usagi eyed Minako curiously.

"Are you talking about your first love? What's her name again? Um, Rei? Yeah that's it!" Usagi said, knowing she was right. Minako nodded with a smile on her face. Just hearing the girls name gives her a tingling sensation in her stomach.

"Yes, Usagi, that's her." Minako said turning back to her mirror.

"This is Ms. Best Sex Ever you were telling me about right?!! The one that brought you tears of joy during your most passionate moments?" Usagi said teasing her friend. She remembered that conversation with Minako like it was yesterday. The reason why is because she never remembers Minako talking so good about someone so much. She knew Minako had strong feeling for this girl. She just wished they had the heart to tell each other. It was so obvious that they loved each other. Yes, Minako still dated men, but she always talked about how they never compared to her Rei. Lost in her train of thought, Usagi almost didn't notice the blush growing on Minako's face.

'Wow, no one ever makes her blush like that.' Usagi still thought.

"Is she expecting you?" Usagi asked clearing her head. Minako stopped what she was doing, but didn't turn around.

"No, Usagi, she doesn't know I will be there." Minako said still not turning around. She then perked up a bit and spun around startling Usagi a little.

"I do know that her cousin Rikku is the DJ tonight and I'm sure she will be there to support her cousin." She paused for a second. "I'm going to get her Usagi, you watch and see." Minako said a little with a mischievous smirk. Just then she did her famous "V" for victory pose and went back to putting the final touches to her outfit. Usagi shook her head with smile on her face. She knows Minako never quits until she get's what she wants.

"I just hope Rei is ready for you." Usagi said still shaking her head. Minako turned her head towards Usagi with a wide grin on her face. "Oh, she is always ready Usagi" Minako said as she turned her head back. "Always..."

Rei pulled her car up on the street where Rikku's apartment was. She then parked her car in front of his building, got out and walked towards the apartment complex. She made her way into the building and took her usual route to her cousin's apartment. After she was off of the elevator, Rei made her way down the hall and was standing in front of her cousin's door. For the first time that night she actually felt nervous. Rei knew once she knocked on that door and saw her cousin, that there was no turning back. 'I've got a funny feeling about this.' she thought. She ignored the feeling and knocked on the door. A few seconds later Rikku's friend Mamoru answers the door.

"Oh, hey Rei!" Mamoru greeted her and opened the door more to let Rei in.

"Hey, Mamoru, what brings you here?" Rei asked as she walked in.

"Rikku needed some help with some equipment for his gig later, so I brought some stuff he might need that I'm not using tonight. You know, some records and such."

"Oh, yeah, he's really serious about tonight. A lot of people are looking forward to hearing his mixes. His work is really good, and I'm not just saying that because he is my cousin." Rei said as she sat down on the couch.

"Yeah, I know. I'm actually coming tonight to hear his stuff. It's the talk of the town." Mamoru said as he sat down as well.

"Hey guys!" Rikku said walking out into the living room holding a box. He put the box down and walked over to Rei and gave her a hug.

"What's up cuz? I'm glad you came!" Rikku said as he let her go.

"You know tonight is an important night for you. I couldn't miss it." Rei said as she playfully messed Rikku's hair.

"Hey! Watch the hair. You know I gotta look good for the ladies." Rikku said trying to fix his hair. Rei and Mamoru just looked at each other and burst out in laughter.

"Yo, what's so funny?" Rikku said sounding a little annoyed, but he couldn't play it off long since he was smiling.

"You do know you are working in a gay club tonight right?" Mamoru said still laughing.

"What kind of 'ladies' are you trying to look good for." Rei said calming down from her laughing.

"Hey, I'll have you know that tonight is ladies night. A lot of girls bring there straight friends just for fun." Rikku said, nodding to show he was right.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot to ask you. Do you think Usagi is going to be there?" Mamoru asked Rikku.

"Usagi?" Rei asked, wondering how that name sounded so familiar.

"Oh! Rei, I meant to tell you that Minako is going to be there tonight as well. And yes Mamoru, Usagi will be there, since Minako told me she was bringing her along." Rikku said getting a shocked look from Rei and a huge goofy grin from Mamoru.

"What?! Why didn't you tell me she was coming Rikku!!??" Rei said, shock and anger written all over hr face.

Rikku smiled sheepishly knowing his cousin was pissed for not telling her sooner. His face went a little pale after seeing Rei's expression. He just knew that if he told her that Minako would be at the club tonight, she wouldn't have gone just so she could avoid the blonde. He wasn't sure what was going on. All he knew was that Rei seemed depressed lately and every time Minako was brought up, she always tried to change the subject. Rei never was the type to talk about her problems, but he knew his cousin and when she was going through something. He just wished sometimes Rei would tell him so he can help, but of course that was out of the question. Rei never showed anyone her soft side. The only person he thinks could have seen it was Minako.

"Sorry Rei. I forgot to tell you I ran into her earlier today. She really wants to see you, you know?" Rikku said while Rei glared at him.

Rei let out a deep breath and just gave her cousin a forced smirk. She knew her cousin meant her no harm and that he was just trying to help.

"Next time, will you just let me know ahead of time?!" Rei said acting as if she was really angry, but Rikku knew his cousin all too well.

"Sure Rei. Next time." Was Rikku's reply as he chuckled.

"OK, as much as I would love to see you cousins bond or what not, we should really get going. You don't want to be late Rikku." Mamoru said sounding a little anxious to go.

Rikku nodded and picked up the box he was carrying. They all grabbed there things and left Rikku's apartment and made there way to Club Diesel.

Minako and Usagi made there way down the street full of people standing in the line that lead to the entrance of the club. Both walking with there chins held high as if they were V.I.P., which they were all thanks to Rikku. Minako felt so famous as she walked down gathering the attention of everyone. She wore her famous smile that made anyone's legs weaken. Just as she was a few feet away from the entrance she heard Usagi shriek and run right by her to the entrance. Following her friend she made it to the front entrance of the club and saw Mamoru, Rikku and Rei getting ready to enter. A huge smile appeared on her face as she saw Rei.

'GOD, she looks better every time I see her.' Minako thought as she got a glimpse of her Raven haired friend.

Minako finally met up with everyone and saw Usagi was already clinging to Mamoru's arm jabbering about random things. Mamoru just stood there with a blush on his face smiling at Usagi. Rei was talking to the bouncer while Rikku waited by Mamoru.

"Hey guys! What's up?!" Minako said perky as always.

"Hey Minako! Glad you came! Ready for some dance music tonight?" Rikku asked happy to see his friend.

"Of course I am, I wouldn't miss your music for anything. You know how much I love to dance" Minako said taking small glances towards Rei still speaking to the bouncer.

"She's trying to find some men to move my equipment inside. She thinks I shouldn't have to" Rikku said with a small chuckle knowing what Minako was looking at.

"Oh..." Minako said blushing.

"I swear if I get famous, she's going to be my manager." Rikku said nodding towards Rei.

"Yeah...that's Rei for you." Minako said while she stared at the raven haired beauty.

"Come on, let's get inside. She'll be in soon." Rikku said noticing Rei usher some men towards the truck full of equipment.

"Oh...OK." Minako said still looking back to where Rei was as she was led in to the club by Rikku.

Mamoru and Usagi were already inside admiring the clubs atmosphere. They sat at a booth in the V.I.P. section waiting for there friends to arrive. It was still a little early so not many people were inside. Rikku still had to set up once all of his equipment was in. Until then everyone sat at there booth and ordered drinks.

Rei finally made her way inside to find everyone else. She definitely wasn't ready to see Minako, so she went straight to the bar instead. After taking a couple of shots, she composed herself and made her way towards the V.I.P. section. The club started to fill up pretty fast, so she had to make her way through the crowd of people. While walking through the crowd of people Rei felt someone place there hand on her shoulder. She quickly turned around with a scowl on her face only for it to be replaced by shock when she saw that it was Makoto.

"Hey Rei!! You made it!" Makoto said right before she gave Rei a hug. Rei, recovering from the shock finally managed to hug back.

"Hey Makoto... how have you been? How are you and the misses?" Rei said giving Makoto a knowing smirk.

"We're great Rei. I thought I'd bring Ami here tonight to check out your cousin Rikku's music." Makoto said after a short chuckle.

"Oh, that's great. Yeah I wanted to come and support my cousin, plus get my mind off of things like you said." Rei said as her smile faded a little.

Makoto noticed Rei's expression and wondered why she felt like she was being watched. She began to look browse around and noticed a blonde haired woman staring down at her and Rei. The girl looked like she was going to eat Makoto alive if she didn't get away from Rei quick. Rei noticed Makoto's glare and turned around to see who she was glaring at, but found no one.

"Geez Rei, you have girls hot on your heels already I noticed." Makoto said with a smirk. Rei gave Makoto a confused look. She was just about to ask what she meant by that comment but was cut off by Makoto.

"Anyway, I have to get back to Ami. Have a drink with me later, OK? See ya!" Makoto said then she walked off leaving Rei in the crowd.

Rei stood there with her head tilted to the side with confusion written all over her face. She watched her friend walk off and wondered what was up with that last minute behavior. She was snapped right back in to reality when she noticed the most gorgeous woman she has ever seen walking up to her. Rei's breath was caught in her throat. She didn't know what to do. This woman standing before her was so stunning. She knows she would never be able to leave her alone. Those baby blues, that gorgeous smile that she does only for her, her beautiful face, the long golden soft hair and that heart throbbing body was calling to Rei, and Rei was definitely reacting to it. Rei couldn't take it anymore. She wanted this woman and she wanted her now, but her body wouldn't let her make a single move. She only managed to say one thing.

"Mina..."
