Beloved Fire

By Chibi-destiny

Chapter 1: Lost and Found.

Rain pours down on Rei's umbrella. *I'm glad it not stroming.* She thinks. *It's not
fun walking in a down pour much less a thunder strom.* She jumps a puddle on the
sidewalk. *I need to hurry. I called a meeting after school so we could discuss that
dream I had. I wonder if Luna will think it's a ....* A small sound stops her thoughts.
She stop walking. *What was that?* She try to hear over the rain. *Is that something
crying?*

Slowly she walks over to the brushes next to the sidewalk. *It sound like a child.* She
moves two of the brushes apart. "Hello." she says to the raven hair little boy. He looks
up at her though tear filled blue-violet eyes.

"Mama" he says

"I'm sorry, sweetie." says Rei. "I'm not your Mama."

The little boy rubs his eyes. "You look like mama." he says.

"Oh. You're soaked. Come here." She takes him into her arms. *He's so light.* she
think. "What your name?" she asks.

"Aiko." he answers.

"My name is Rei." she says. She stands back up with him still in her arms.

"Rei-mama" he says

"Does your mama know you're are here?" She asks.

He shakes his head no against her

"She must be worry about you." Rei says

"I'd guess" he says

"I would wait for her to find you but you need dry clothes." she says.

"You smell like mama too" he says.

"I would wait..." She continue to walk to the temple in the rain with Aiko in her arms.


"Rei." Say Usagi "I can't believe I beat you to the meeting."

Rei meets Usagi at the bottom of the temple steps. It had stop raining. "Shhhh" she says
"He's asleep."

"Oh. He's so cute." say Usagi.

"I found him in the bushes crying." says Rei. They walk up the steps. "Somehow he got
separated from his mother."

"How sad." says Usagi.

"Rei." Says the other three girls and the two cats once Rei and Usagi make it to the top.

"Shhhhhhh." say both Rei and Usagi.

"I going to put him in my room and call the police to see if anyone reported him missing."
Rei says and walks off.

"Wait! What his name." says Usagi.

Rei turn around and says "Aiko"

"Beloved" Says Ami

"Nani" say Usagi.

"That what Aiko means. Beloved." say Ami "It's also a girl's name."

"A girl's name?!" asks Minako with a confuss look on her face.

"Yes" says Ami.

The four girls take another look at the child in Rei's arms to make sure that it's a
little boy she was holding. They see her grandfather meet her a the door.

"Is the little boy staying with us?" Asks the grandfather.

"Yes" says Rei. "I found him on the way home."

"Good. Good" say her Grandfather. "Rei, We have a young man staying here at the
temple. So watches out for him when you go to the bath." Rei's Grandfather is lucky Rei
still has Aiko in her arms.
