Whoo! Chapter 8 is he-ah! If you haven't realised yet, this story is going to be very long, I don't know how long, but long. I will try not to draw the story out too long, but it will probably be quite a few chapters before I get to the proper romance and fighting chapters. I might put in a few chapters with a higher rating. I will label these chapters appropriately and you will not miss out on the story if you don't read them. Unfortunately I can't write Lemons or Limes, but I am going to approach another author to write them for me. If you want a disclaimer…tough, go to a previous chapter.

1 Chapter 8-Fiery Hearts

1.1 ***Rei's POV***

I hate my life, no really…it stinks! I'm expected to look after the temple, go to school and pay the bills! Ever since Grandpa died…And if you think my high and mighty father might lend a hand, no! He's too obsessed with his work to even bother to check on me. Oh but that's not true, he sent me a bodyguard! Great! He's just made my life even worse, and guess who my bodyguard is? Go on! Guess! Argh, my life stinks!

*****9am-The Temple*****

Rei was packing for her first class when the 'phone rang, she picked it up on the second ring. It was her father.

"Hello?"

"Rei, sweetie is that you?"

"Yes father."

"Rei, don't be like that."

"What do you want?"

"My campaign is picking up pace and my advisors are afraid you might be targeted to get to me."

"Really? They must not know you that well."

"Rei, please…"

"What do you want?"

"We've decided to assign you a bodyguard."

"What!"

"Now sweetheart, he is the son of one of my advisors and a very competent young man. I am sure he will be able to protect you in the case of an attack."

"Father, I can take care of myself…"

"Nonsense, he will be coming over to the temple in an hour. I have arranged for someone to tape your lectures for today. Goodbye.

"But…"

All she heard was the dial tone on the other end of the line. He had hung up on her. She slammed the 'phone down, incensed by the way her father had treated her, but then again… he had always treated her this way. She stormed into the kitchen and started making some tea, forcing herself to calm down. Grandpa would have taken this in his stride, and so would she.

**1 Hour Later**

The bell rang and Rei went to answer it. She opened the door and sized up the guy outside. Tall, blonde hair…blue eyes?

"Shit"

She slammed the door in his face as she went into shock. It was him. She knew she had to open the door, she had to deal with this, alone. She opened the door and stood aside.

"Sorry"

"Does this mean I can come in?"

"What do you think?"

"Jeez! Still as touchy as ever?"

"I think it's understandable, don't you?"

"Rei…"

"Get in."

She shut the door behind him and walked into the living room. She sat down and started getting the tea ready. He leaned against the doorframe and just stared at her. She looked up and glared at him. He quickly sat down.

"Tea?"

"Yes please"

(Pause)

"Rei, I…"

"Look, Jadeite, I'm very well protected here, I mean Chad…"

"That (snicker) wimp!"

"He is not a wimp!"

"Really?"

"I do not need you here!"

"Yeah, like you can protect yourself against 'The Flower Warriors'"

"Bastard!"

She ran off to her room, but before she could go in Jadeite stopped her.

"Look, you don't know what you're up against here. I'm staying, whether you like it or not, and I will protect you, whether you like it or not."

"Not!"

She slammed the door in his face, again.

"Twice in one day! This is a great start!"

"Bite me!"

"Is that an invitation?"

"GET LOST!"

"I'll just go get my stuff out of my car."

"ARGH!"

He stalked out of the door, chuckling. Rei sank against her door and started laughing.

"Let the games begin."

***Rei's POV***

He is so gonna pay, yes I still like him. But he is gonna pay. He's gonna regret ever coming back. I will not let him get to me. I…I won't fall in love with him, not again, not again. Hmm, I wonder when Chad is getting back…

***Jadeite***

I think that went well…She hasn't attacked me, yet. She hasn't changed at all, same spitfire. I'm already regretting coming back! If I know Rei, she's got something planned. Ok, I'm scared. But as long as I get her back…Nope I'm still terrified.



I wrote it, I wrote it, Whoo Whoo! I'm sorry it's 5am now and I've been writing since 1am. But I finished my English essay and another chapter! I personally think the chapter's worth more since I already speak-a de engleesh. Ignore me, please. R&R please. I'm going to sleep now.
