Chapter One: We Came So Close to Being Close
As Rei walked across the temple grounds something was bothering her. She felt a disturbance swirl around her like a breeze that comes before a storm. The air was thick with apprehension. The wind misgives some consequence yet hanging in the stars. That fate would bring with the sunset a destiny that would establish itself with her tonight. Shattered from her contemplations, Rei heard the roar of motorcycles pull in to the temple lot. Rei glided over to the sound of the bikes. 'Oh it's just Mamoru, but who is that with him?'
"Hey Rei! Mamoru said. " Jade Rei Rei Jade. This is one of my friends he just moved here from Kyoto. Jade was wondering if he could get a position here at the temple?"
Jade bowed to Rei and took her hand and kissed her open palm. "Please to make you acquaintance. Mamoru said you were beautiful but I didn't expect this at all." Jade said with a wink.
Rei ignored the remark and yanked back her hand. She looked at Mamoru and said "I'll have to speak with Gramps but he has his hands full with Yuuchiro. I don't know if he can handle another disciple."
With that statement her Grandfather appeared. "Rei, I believe I am quite capable to take on another disciple and you know it. Of course I'll take the boy in, that if he is willing to work." Rei glared at Jade then at Mamoru. She squared her shoulders, and tossed her hair. "Fine by me." Rei said as she turned and stormed off. She then proceeded to the garden shed and pick up a garden hoe and attacked the weeds growing in the gardens.
"Don't mind Rei," Grandfather said, " She thinks I am too old and senile to even dress myself. You can take your stuff and place it in the same room as Yuuchiro. You will start your training tomorrow. By the way where is that airhead?"
It was that moment when Yuuchiro chose to make his appearance. He fell out of the tree that he was hiding in. He couldn't believe his ears; Grandfather was taking on another disciple. Yuuchiro got up and dusted off his temple robes and sauntered over to where the trio was discussing the various training that Jade would be immersed in. Yuuchiro smiled at Mamoru and gave Jade a wry look. "Grandfather is it true?" he asked with a curious look on his face. "Are we taking on another disciple?"
"Yuuchiro, I'd like you to meet Jade. I have decided to take on another disciple we could really use another hand around this place." Said grandfather with a sort of smug look on his face. It was almost that he was eager to prove Rei wrong Yuuchiro thought.
Jade stuck out his hand with 1000-watt smile on his face. "I hope that we can become friends." Jade said with genuine honesty. Yuuchiro smirked at the hand and looked a Grandfather. "I have to agree with Rei on this one I don't think that you are able to do it. Maybe a trial basis would be best. Let's see if he can keep up." Yuuchiro nodded to Mamoru and walked over to where Rei had produced a green pulp of what should have been flowers.
"Rei settle down I think the weeds are gone." Yuuchiro said as he looked down at the green goo. Rei shook her head and looked up at him, "I just don't know what got into me. For some reason when he kissed my palm I wanted to kick him in the face and call him a traitor. I don't even know him."
"Rei I know how you feel. I felt the same way." 'But not for the same reasons Yuuchiro thought to himself. 'I didn't like the way he kissed your hand. I feel that there will be a competition for your attention.'
"I am going to go over there and apologize, what he must think of me? He is a total stranger and I treated him like my worst enemy. I am going to make amends." Rei said more to herself than to Chad. Rei walked away with a glazed look over her eyes.
Meanwhile:
Grandfather had left Mamoru and Jade for the night to drink some "tea". Jade glimpsed around. "Some friendly place you found for me Mamoru. The old man is the only one who seems to like me."
"Give them sometime Jade. Rei and Yuuchiro just met you. Once they get to know you they'll come around." Mamoru gave him an encouraging smile. "Looks like Rei is coming over here. I'll let you two be alone." Mamoru winked and turned one his heel and got on his bike and sped away.
Rei approached Jade with a sheepish look on her face. "I am sorry about earlier. I don't know what was wrong with me I'm not usually that rude. (Both grandfather and Yuuchiro would have fell over laughing at that remark) I hope I can make it up to you. Tell you what I'll give you a tour of the temple and make you some tea." Rei said with a rare smile. "Let me get your bags for you."
"No that's not nesscery Rei I can handle it. But I would love to walk around the temple with you" Jade said shyly
Both Jade and Rei reached for the bag at the same time. Rei's hand got there first and Jade's closed over her's. At the moment of contact a million images flooded down Rei's eyes. The images went so fast that she couldn't make sense of them. It was if a shock of electricity coursed into Rei's hand from Jade's. Taken back by the trauma of it Rei released the bag. Simultaneously Jade dropped the bag. Both looked at the bag as if it was a snake ready to strike. Rei slowly looked up at Jade with a quizzical look and fright at the same time. Jade was unsure of what to do. Should he tell Rei about the flash of images? No he decided against it, she'd probably think I am crazy. "Well I guess the bag was too heavy for you I'll get it. Now tell me what was the name of that plant that you hacked to death."
Rei smiled and let a small giggle escape.
"Oh so you do know how to laugh I was getting worried." Jade bent down and slung the bag over his back. When he did a thin gold necklace escaped from his white tee shirt. On the necklace was a beautiful ruby and diamond ring. Rei couldn't make out the exact pattern but she could see the reflection of the jewels from the temple lights. The colors enchanted her. Noticing that the ring was out Jade tucked it back in and gave her a smile. Seeing the look of disappointment on her face Jade said "Remind me to show it to you sometime." That statement got the reaction he was hoping for; he was rewarded with another wide grin. "Now come Milady show me the grounds of your vast kingdom. Shall I escort you?" Jade questioned and offered her his arm.
Rei hesitated and slowly slipped her arm through his. Relief spread over her when no images flashed. As she took Jade around the temple grounds explaining the history of this and the symbolization of that, Rei got lost in her internal thoughts. 'What am I doing? I have never let a guy do this to me. Not since... no I am not going to think of him. It feels good just touching his arm. This is crazy I don't even know him.' Rei finally brought herself to look him straight in the eyes.
She was taken back. His face was beautiful, perfectly formed. His eyes were kind and gentle yet in the depths of them she saw a sparkle of mischief.
At that moment Rei realized that they had stopped walking and she was staring open mouthed at his face. She blushed, looked down at her feet and stammered out a gibberish of apologies.
Hoping to make her feel better. "Rei it's okay when I first saw you walk across the temple grounds I did the same thing." Touching her cheek and let his finger slide down to her chin and lifted her face to have her look at his face again. "You should never humble yourself. It contradicts your personality."
Locked in each other's gaze neither noticed Yuuchiro creep up behind them. He cleared his throat to get the couple's attention. Both Rei and Jade snapped their heads around. "Rei, Usagi is here she wants to talk to you. She seems upset." Yuuchiro said.
Rei smiled and shugged her shoulders as she veered around and then noticed the wails. Rei was sure that the sound of Usagi's crying fits span a two-mile radius. Luna claimed that Usagi once broke the sound barrier.
Watching Rei disappear into the shelter Yuuchiro turned to Jade and said "Rei is a special person. If you try anything on her I personally will end you."
"Listen Yuuchiro, I don't want to hurt her I was just trying to make her feel better."
"Well that's not the what it looked like to me." Yuuchiro retorted
"Understand this, what goes on between Rei and I does not concern you. I am sure Rei is old enough to make her own descisons. Even if she wasn't I doubt that she would consult you. Why don't you mind your own business." Jade turned and walked away. Over his shoulder he called. "It's been a long night. Sleep on it I'm sure that you'll feel differently in the morning."
Meanwhile in Rei's room the wails had subsided. "Rei, Mamo-chan didn't show up for our date tonight. I tried calling his apartment but no one answered." Usagi sniffed. All of a sudden her eyes widen and her voice dropped down to a whisper. "What if he is out with another girl." The wails started back up again.
"Oh Usa-chan don't be such a odango atma. Mamoru was here tonight." Rei said rather annoyed.
"You mean that you are the other woman?" The wails got even louder.
Rei rolled her eyes and stuffed one of her dirty socks in Usagi's mouth. "I swear Usagi if you weren't my best friend. No Mamoru was here with Jade, one of his friends from Kyoto. Jade was interested in becoming a disciple here at the temple. He looked pretty tired when he was here. He might have forgot all about your date and went home to sleep. If not Mamoru is probably scouring the streets for you because you aren't where you said you would be. You should go home and go to bed. Calm down and call him in the morning. You won't get anything accomplished tonight. If you do get a hold of him all you'll do is pick a fight." Rei said knowingly.
"I guess you are right. Can you walk me home? I'm scared. Luna went to visit Artemes, so I came here by myself."
"Usagi, it's way too late for me to walk you home and then walk back here. How about you stay here tonight? You didn't sneak out of the house did you?"
"No Rei, I told my parents. I guess I can call them."
"You know where the phone is. I'll drag out my sleeping bag for you." Rei called as Usagi headed for the phone. Rei was left alone with her thoughts and eventually they drifted to Jade. Her whole body tingled when she remembered the way that Jade had held her face and how he looked so deeply into her eyes it felt like he was looking into her soul. Rei was then snapped back to reality when Serena was doubled over laughing and accidentally kicked her in the head.
"Ouch Usagi! What's so funny?" asked Rei.
"Oh it was just the way that you looked, you were all googly eyed. Were you thinking of Yuuchiro?" Usagi teased.
Rei blushed. "No, actually I was thinking about Mamoru's friend Jade. You see I was walking across the temple grounds."
