Chapter 8

It was a Saturday evening and the gang was gathered at Kengo's house. Right now, Minako was trying to create something like pot from mud, but she was not succeeding. The others giggled at her annoyed face as the mud melt down from her hands. Rei looked at Kengo. She was so relieved that he was alright. He came into conscious a little bit after their battle. She was glad that he was alright and that he remembered nothing. After that they had com back to his house and helped him with reorganizing it. When she was little he always was the impatient one and that's why when he couldn't do anything, he would scream and kick and break everything. Now he was the same again. But he was more mature. He was the only family that she had and she definitely didn't want something to happen to him.

Yaten saw Rei deep in thought. He approached her and touched her hand.

"Are you alright?"He said looking down at her. Rei gazed up at him and smiled.

"Yeah, I am alright. Just thinking about Kengo. He is my only family and I was thinking what would I do if something happened to him" She said sadly once again glancing at Kengo who was now helping pouting Minako with her pot. She smiled a sad smile. He was always so helpful and kind towards everyone, but definitely not kind to himself.

"Hey,don't think that. We have rescued him,right? You don't have to worry. Now everything will be ok with him. And besides, you have one hell of a boyfriend,right? I wouldn't ever ever leave you alone" Yaten said smiling and winking at her.

"Ughhh,you are so full of yourself" Rei said playfully shoving him. "But thank you. I am so lucky and happy to have you" She smiled a real smile this time. Really, she was so lucky just to have friends like the gang and a boyfriend like Yaten. What would she do without them? And she wondered how she had coped without Yaten by her side all these time. She everyday thanked God for such an amazing life. Even though she had no family, she had amazing friends and a caring boyfriend in return. For the first time in her life she felt full and happy. She was satisfied. It was right that they had Galaxia yet to deal with, but right now she didn't care. She wanted to enjoy her life despite the danger and everyday attacks. And right now she was doing it. She took Yaten's hand in hers and linked them. Yaten once again looked at her and smiled. She returned his smile and put her head on his shoulder taking in his sweet scent. Yeah,she was definitely happy.

Sunday went on without any danger for the gang. They relaxed and swam most of the day enjoying each other's company. And in the evening they started off back. And again everyone was seated like before. But this time Yaten and Rei were not the only one to fall asleep in that position: Usagi was sleeping,her head on Seiya's lap who had had an arm around her and he himself was leaning against the seat his mouth slightly open. Ami and Taiki were seated in the corner, so Taiki was leaning against the window his head,too,against the window and had an arm around Ami who was leaning against his chest and was embracing him around his waist. Rei and Yaten, however were the opposite of Seiya and Usagi. Rei was not sleepy,so she didn't want to sleep, instead she saw that Yaten was sleepy and told him to put his head on her lap. He told as said looking up at her a little while. She was playing with his hair while holding his gaze with a little smile on her face. For awhile they were once again lost in each other's eyes. Yaten looked sleepy at Rei as she played with his hair. How was he so lucky to have such a beautiful girlfriend like her? He was glad that he chose her. She was different, just like himself. He was happy, extremely happy. They were so alike each other. He knew they supplemented each other. He felt his eyelids slowly closing as he fell asleep on her lap dreaming about her. Rei saw Yaten slowly closing his eyes and she heard his breath become even. She knew he fell asleep. Her smile grew a little. He was even more handsome when he slept. His features were so calm and relaxed. Her hand came down from his hair to his face caressing his cheek. She saw a little smile playing on her lips. She wondered what was he dreaming about that made him smile even in his dreams. Then she looked out the window, suddenly remembering that horrible dream. She had had that dream 2 or 3 times after that. She was becoming worried about that. Why was she having the same dream? Was it some kind of sign to them? She hadn't told the girls or the guys about it. She didn't even tell Yaten about that dream not wanting to have him worried. Her heart race fastened as she thought about Yaten lying there lifeless. What would she do without? How would she live without his love? Tears were threatening to fall. She didn't want to lose him when she had finally found the one. She couldn't bare it. She made a metal promise to protect and save whatever it took her just to have him alive. She was ready for everything for him. She pulled herself together and wiped the single tear that had fallen. She leaned against the seat and relaxed thinking about beautiful things. The rest of the trip was calm as most of the students were sleeping. As Rei noticed that they were nearing the school, she looked at Yaten and saw that he was still sleeping. She leant down and whispered to his ear.

"Yaten,wake up, we are here… Yaten!" She tried hard but he was not waking up. So she leant down and kissed his lips gently. After a moment she felt him kissing back. She smiled in the kiss knowing he had finally woken up. She broke the kiss and saw him slowly opening his beautiful green eyes and looking at her.

"Mmmm, I would give everything just to wake up every day like that" he mumbled sleepy smiling a little.

"You wish,mister" Rei said winking at him. Yaten pouted. Rei once again kissed away his pout and then kissed his cheek.

"We are here" she whispered as he slowly rose from her lap and looked that they were at school's yard. He looked down at his watch and saw that it was 11 pm. The bus finally stopped and the students began slowly getting off. The gang took their bags and got off one by one. Once all of them were outside they made a circle.

"So, I think that was an awesome trip" Minako said sleepy.

"Yeap I agree. Even though their meal was not so delicious, it was a trip to remember" Usagi said making a face at the mention of the meal. The girls rolled their eyes at Usagi who glared at them.

"Let's separate and see off the girls" Seiya said to his brothers who immediately agreed.

"Usagi, your parents are away, right?" Makoto asked hoping it would be that way.

"Yeah they are"

"Can we stay at your place pleaseeeee? Our places are sooo far away. I swear I can fall asleep on my way to home" Minako said whining.

"Sure thing girls" Usagi smiled.

"Ok then, let's go girls. I will accompany these 3 girls" Seiya said as the girls bid their goodbyes. 4 of them made their ways towards Usagi's house.

"Then I'll take Ami. Goodnight Rei,Yaten" Taiki said nodding at them and taking Ami's hand. Ami,too, said her goodbyes and the couple went away.

"So it leaves two of us,huh?" Yaten said smiling at Rei.

"I guess so. Come on,lets go" Rei said as she began walking. Yaten caught up with her and put his arm around her shoulder drawing her closer. It seemed that he couldn't stand without touching her. Either he always had his arm around her or he always held her hand. He needed her touch, like it was a drug to him. He knew it was crazy,but what could he do. He was in love.

They walked in silence too tired to talk about something. The streets were empty and calm indicating that probably everyone was at their houses. They slowly reached Hikawa Shrine. Rei opened the door to the garden as Yaten followed her looking around.

"Wow,it is beautiful out here. I haven't even been here before. Your garden is awesome."

"Thank you. I love it here too. Whenever I have a lot on my mind I sit there on that bench and look at the flowers. They sooth me" Rei said taking the keys from her pocket. Yaten agreed. It WAS soothing just to look at the flowers. Rei opened the door and then looked at Yaten, waiting for him to come inside. However Yaten didn't move.

"You are not coming?"

"No,thank you, I have to go before it is too late. Tomorrow we have an early meeting with our manager."

"Hey come on, you don't think I will let you go at this time, do you? Come in" Rei said taking his hand and pulling him inside closing the door behind.

"But…"

"No buts. Make yourself at home" Rei said smiling as she went away to her room to change. Yaten walked into the living room and looked around. It was nice. There were a lot of photo frames hanging from the wall. Yaten took a close look at them. In one of them Rei was about 3 and she was chasing a butterfly with an excited expression. He smiled to himself. She was cute when she was little. The other was of her in a school uniform,she was bout 6 or 7. It was probably her first day at school as it looked like she has cried. Then there was a picture of hers at the stage singing. He was surprised. He didn't know she could sing. She has never mentioned about that before. And then she had a picture of an old man with bald head. Probably he was her grandfather. He felt sorry for her. She had no family left. He imagined for a second how could it be if he hadn't his brothers. He shivered at the thought wondering how was she coping with the loss. He made a promise that whatever happened he would always be by her side. He would never leave her alone. He yawned as he felt that he was very sleepy and tired from the trip. He made his way to Rei's room first knocking at the door. However when the reply didn't come, he opened the door.

"Hey Rei, are you…." He couldn't even finish his sentence when he noticed the door of the bathroom burst open and then his eyes widened. There was Rei standing in nothing but a towel around her. Her hair was wet and droplets were sliding down her body and face.

"ARGHHH!!!YATEN!"Rei screamed as she saw Yaten looking at her with wide eyes. She blushed at his gaze. What was he doing here? She felt embarrassed. She had nothing but a towel on her which barely came to her mid-thigh. Her cheeks flushed as she saw Yaten checking her out. Yaten's eyes traveled down her body looking at her every curve. God, she was so beautiful. How would it feel to touch her wet hair, to travel his hands along her body and … Then Yaten blinked understanding what he was thinking. He became dark shade of crimson as he looked away. He turned his back at her mentally kicking himself. She probably thought now that he was pervert.

"Ermmm,I am so sorry, I didn't mean to,you know, to…erm…uh,oh…"He stuttered as he rubbed his neck. Rei giggled at his stutter.

"It is okay. You wanted something?" She asked as she put on her robe and approached him and made him look at her face. Yaten feel her hand on his shoulder and turned to see her dressed in her robe.

"I just wanted to ask where to sleep" he whispered as he looked at her. Rei saw lust, love and passion dancing in his eyes. She blushed a little as she knew that she was the reason. They looked at each other and then suddenly out of nowhere Yaten closed the gap between them kissing her roughly. She was taken aback by his kiss and stumbled a little. However Yaten caught her and drew her closer sneaking his arms around her waist. She slowly closed her eyes and returned the kiss hugging his neck. They slowly made their ways to the bed as Yaten climbed on top of her. He passionately kissed her as his hands danced through her wet hair. She moaned against his lips as her grip strengthened on him drawing him even closer now not leaving space between them. Yaten kissed down her neck as Rei threw her head back giving him more opportunity. He kissed and bit her neck his hands slowly coming down to the front of the robe. He kissed her soft spot making her moan even more. She was becoming more and more passionate and excited. He slowly tugged on the tie of the robe and slowly opened it. He broke the kiss as he took off the robe off her and tossed it to the ground leaving her in only towel. He then locked their lips once again one hand on her thigh as she circled her one leg around his torso and the other hand in her hair. He was becoming more demanding every passing minute and more aroused. Rei slowly traveled her hands along his chest as she came to the end of his shirt. She took the end in her hands and slowly began taking it off. They came to a sitting position breaking the kiss as she finally took the shirt off and tossed it aside by the robe. They looked at each other for a moment flame and carve dancing in their eyes. And then Rei slowly climbed to his lap and began slowly,passionately kissing him. Yaten took her in his arms his hands on her hips kissing her back with the same amount of passion and love. He then once again traveled down her neck as she put her head on his bare shoulder her hands dancing on his back. He slowly kissed his way down to her neck and then to her bare shoulders. She,too, kissed his bare shoulders as she felt his hands travel up her hips. However he stopped midway and then took his hands off her thighs sneaking them around her waist and pulling back.

"Rei, we have to stop" he whispered looking at her. " If we don't, we can do something that we would regret. I love you and I want you, but I cant take advantage of you"

"Yeah you are right. We both are not ready for it. And I love you too" She whispered back smiling at him. He smiled back as he leaned in and gave her a gentle and tender kiss on her lips. Then he broke apart and kissed his cheek.

"I should probably go and sleep" he said as he began pulling off. However he felt Rei's hand on his wrist. He looked down at her hand and then at her confused.

"Sleep with me tonight,please. I want you to just hold me." She said her eyes pleading. He smiled.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah I am, and besides we'll do nothing. I just want you to hold me"

"Ok, I will stay" Rei smiled happily at him and pecked his lips.

"Thank you. Now I'll go back to the bathroom and change. Wait me here" She said as she stood up, went to her wardrobe, took her PJs and made her way to the bathroom closing the door behind. Yaten sighed and lay down. He smiled to himself as he thought about the events happening just minutes ago. He was happy. He was in love. He was lucky. And he knew that he made a right decision to stop. He didn't want to take advantage of her ad make her do something she didn't want. And besides he himself was not ready for that. It was enough and even more for him. All he needed was her love and nothing else. Just to kiss her, to hold her and to touch her was enough for him. He loved her too much to make her disappointed in him. He stood up and took of his pants leaving him only in his boxers. Then he made his way to the bed and lay down covering himself with a blanket. He heard the bathroom door open and saw Rei in her pjs her hair in plait which fit her perfectly. She lay down next to him getting under the blanket. She laid her head on his bare chest and put her hand on his heart. She could feel his heart beating steadily against her hand. Yaten embraced her waist and held her close to himself kissing her hair. She rose her head and buried it in the crook of his neck nuzzling his neck.

"Thank you Yaten, for staying with me."

"Anything for you"

"Goodnight, I love you"

'Goodnight and I love you too" Yaten said as he drew her closer and slightly leaned against her hair. He heard Rei's steady breath as she fell asleep. He looked sleepily at her sleeping form.

"I could never say no to you. I will never leave you,I promise" he whispered to her despite knowing that she couldn't hear him. He once again kissed her head and closed his eyes falling into deep slumber.

She was running again. She looked around her as she ran, but saw nothing. Where was she? What was she doing here? And why was she running? She ran and ran and ran. Then again she found herself in the middle of red and black realm. She saw all of her friends lying on the ground but they were not dead. They were wounded and looked weak. There Galaxia was standing with a smirk on her face.

"Huh! And that's what you can do? Pity! And you call yourselves Sailor Senshi!"

"Don't you dare talk about us like that… WE WILL DEFEAT YOU!" Healer screamed as she held his arm in pain. Galaxia looked at her, her eyes becoming cold.

"I think your time has come, dear" And with that she rose her arms. Her bracelets shone and two lights were coming towards Healer. Rei watched in horror as she saw the lights hit Healer and her star seed was taken…

"YATEEEEN!!! NOOOOOOOO!"

Rei shot up awake as she was panting and sweating. Again that dream. But this time it was different. It was only Yaten whose star seed was taken… She closed her eyes as tears poured down her cheeks and she held her head in her hands. The pain was unbearable even if it was only a dream. She looked at Yaten beside her seeing that she hadn't woken him up. He was sleeping peacefully. She cried silently praying that it was just a dream. She wouldn't bear it if her dream would come true. Her hands formed fists as she crumbled he sheets in her hands. She wont let that happen! She promised to herself and she would hold it. She would sacrifice herself just to save him.

She once again looked at him and then stood up and went to the garden in her PJs. The air was chilly as she embraced herself with her hands. She walked through the garden as she thought once again about everything. Now that she had found her true love she wouldn't let him go. For the first time in her life she was not only Sailor Mars, but Rei also. She was feeling full and happy. She was feeling safe and for the first time she didn't care what the others thought or didn't think about her duty. Now she had someone else to care for. Someone she would give everything to. She was ready to risk everything just to be with her. She was tired of losing. This time she wouldn't lose, she would win! She wouldn't let Galaxia to take her friends and her love from her!

She felt two arms sneak around her face as a kiss was dropped on her shoulder.

"What are you doing here in cold without jacket?" Yaten said as he embraced her from behind and put his chin on her shoulder. Rei closed her eyes and immediately felt warmer and safer with him by her side.

"I couldn't sleep, I had a bad dream,but it is nothing" Rei lied. Yaten looked suspiciously at her but let it go.

"Arent you cold?"

"I was, but now that you are here feel warmer" Rei said smiling as she turned around and sneaked her arms around his neck. He smiled back and drew her closer closing the gap between them. He kissed her sweetly on her lips. It only lasted about a minute but it was like an hour for them. They broke apart and put their foreheads together looking at each other's eyes. Rei looked at his pale beautiful green eyes, which showed love and care. She would never let him to be hurt… He was too important for her, if she lost him, then she would be empty, like a zombie. She would never let Galaxia to take her only love from her…

A/N: I decided to dedicate this chapter completely to Rei and Yaten. I hope you liked it. Please read and review:)
