Hey! I'm back with the 2nd to last chapter in my story. This one focuses on Rei and Jay'son (Jadeite) this is probably going to be my hardest chapter, since I can't stand Rei. But for my loyal readers, I'mma do my best. The standard disclaimers apply. I don't own anything except the plot and any made up characters. K? K! On with the fic!!

Chapter 6-Rei and Jay'son

Rei was being flown to Saint Louis for the recording. She didn't understand why everyone was being flown to different places, but she didn't have much of a choice. Serena was pretty happy about it. The Lou was her home town after all. The plane made a safe landing and they got off. Seiya was waiting for them at the airplane terminal. Rei noticed that Serena and Seiya were flirting and made a mental note to dog her manager about it. Everyone was staying at Serena's house and Jay'son was waiting in the car. He had been awake all night studying the song, Seiya informed Rei. When they got to the car, Jay'son immediately got out and offered his hand to Rei. "Hi, I'm Jay'son but people call me Jay. It's going to be nice working with you." Rei stared at his hand.

"I know who you are, and I'm only doing this as a favor to my other band mates. Why don't we just get this over with so I can go home?"

Jay frowned. "Well, I hoped we could at least be friends but if you're going to be such a bitch about it I guess not." He said, stalking back to the car. Everyone got in the car and they headed to Serena's house. Rei and Jay'son immediately headed for their separate rooms. Jay got to his room and thought about how to penetrate Rei's mean exterior.

Rei was sitting in her room thinking about how arrogant and conceited Jay was. He was such an asshole! Where did he get off calling her a bitch? She'd just have to grin and bear it for her friends' sake. Well maybe not grin; she didn't care who knew how much she didn't want to do this. There was a knock at the door. She opened it and was faced with a large bouquet of roses. They lowered and she found herself looking at Jay'son. She scowled. "What do you want?"

"I was hoping I could make peace with you. I had no right to call you a bitch and I'm sorry." Jay'son said, offering the roses. Rei slapped them from his hand.

"Damn straight you had no right to call me a bitch. Bribing me won't help either you arrogant, self-centered asshole." She slammed the door in his face. Jay'son punched the door.

"I don't know why you hate me so much but you had better get the hell over it. We're working together whether you like it or not. And I wasn't trying to bribe you. It was a perfectly nice gesture, but you're too wrapped up in yourself to notice it!" He yelled as he stomped to his room. Rei waited until she was sure he was gone and then dialed up Mina.

"Hello? Is Mina there?"

"Hi Rei! What's up?"

"Jay'son just tried to be nice to me and I ended up slapping the flowers from his hand and then he started yelling at me. Can you believe his nerve?"

"I think you like him."

"I don't like that self-centered jerk. I mean it was just so rude of him to call me a bitch like that and then show up with some flowers and try to make it all better." Rei was raising her voice word by word.

"Fine. But can I just tell you the honest truth?"

"Go ahead."

"You are a bitch! If you hadn't been so evil to him, maybe he wouldn't have called you that. Do everyone a favor, get over yourself and admit you like him!" Mina was yelling into the phone now. Rei held the phone from her ear.

"Okay, okay. I'll be nice to him. But that doesn't mean I like him."

Mina snorted. "Me thinks the lady death protests too much."

"Uh... Isn't it...oh forget it. Bye chick."

"Hasta pronto." Rei hung up with Mina and lay awake contemplating her feelings, for a very long time.

The next morning, everyone was in Serena's recording studio, doing the song. You couldn't tell that they hated each others guts. Rei was singing.

"It was hard to find a brother that was down for me So I'm telling everybody let him be cuz, He's mine and I can't take no pigeons trying to take my baby

So I thought I had to let you know Find someone you can call your own Cause now you're walking in the danger zone And if I touch you I'll be wrong.

If you mess with my man I will be the one to break it to ya Got my girls, got my man So find your own leave mine alone

Don't mess with my man I will be the one to break it to ya Here's a little advice for you Find your own man."

Rei stopped and Jay'son started.

"It was hard to find a girl that's really down for me Seems like a lotta guys trying me Cause they trying to take my baby Oh what the hell no

So now you better check yourself Messing with my girl is bad for your health And so you know that you will be dealt with Better find your own, own girl

If you mess with my girl I will be the one to break it to you Got my crew got my girl So find your own and leave mine alone (You need to find your own.)

Don't mess with my girl I will be the one to break it to you Here's a little advice for you Find your own girl"

Rei started up the hook.

"Girl I'm warning you (Girl I'm warning you) If you want my man (If you want my man) You should just keep your hands to yourself now-now"

Jay started his part.

And playa I'm warning you If you want my girl I suggest (I suggest you) that you look But don't touch now-now"

They began singing lines after one another, beginning with Rei.

"It was hard to find a brother that was down for me, don't mess with my man."

"It's hard to find a girl that's really down for me, don't mess with my girl"

"It was hard to find a brother that was down for me, don't mess with my man."

"It's hard to find a girl that's really down for me, don't mess with my girl no, no."

They repeated the chorus four more times and then it was over. Seiya and Serena were out on a date, so Jay'son and Rei had the house to themselves. She was in her room when she came to a decision. Walking to Jay'son's room, she tapped softly on the door.

Jay'son opened it. "Can I help you with something Rei?" he asked, scowling.

She pulled him down to her level and kissed him. When they came up for air, Jay looked at her quizzically.

"Does this mean you're not mad at me anymore?"

Rei laughed. "Only if you shut up and kiss me." He happily complied.

Another fluffy chapter finished! One more to go! (Laughs maniacally). (Aah ha, ha, ha hah) (Passes out from lack of air.) When she comes to, everyone has vanished. Uh, okay. Please review but no flames! That's all I have to say for now. Love, peace and chicken grease! (
