Rei never thought she'd see Hatsuharu Sohma again.
Then on the New Year about ten years later, he was there.
"I'm here a little late." Haru said apologetically.
Rei smiled, tears in her eyes. "Welcome back."
She normally hated men. Didn't trust them. But not this man. He was her defender. Her protector.
Not that a senshi needed those things. But...
"Thank you for before." Haru said, smiling. "I don't know how you knew. It's a mystery..."
"N-No I should thank you!" Rei stammered. Was she actually flustered? "You rescued me."
"You returned the favor." Haru said. "No need for thanks."
He approached, tilted her chin up and kissed her. Then he sighed.
"It's finally time." Haru said. "You're all grown up."
What did he mean by that? Could he sense the senshi in her? There was something about him...
But even a priestess couldn't predict what happened next.
"Wanna go out?"
