"Alan….. Alan…oh Alan… p-please help-p me!" Mina was struggling to keep a good grasp on the ledge right before his eyes.
"Mina!!!!!" Alan reached out to grab her, before she fell down. It went in slow motion… "NooooooooOoooOOOooooOOOoOOoOoO!" Mina's fingers slipped his and she whispered something he couldn't hear.
"I…. Alan……goodbye Alan.."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" Alan shot out of bed. A pair of anxious faces were watching him.
"Do you think magic will help?" Mina whispered.
"No, I doubt it, Mina. It is from his inner self," Rei whispered back.
"W-w- why are you guys here?" Allan stammered.
"You were sick with fever." Mina stroked his hair affectionately. But Allan's eyes were only looking into Rei's.
"Mina and I decided to nurse you in my temple." Rei whispered, scared to meet his eyes.
"You need to go back to sleep." Rei then ordered.
"NO!!!! No…. no…" Alan shook his head.
"Alan… did you have a bad dream?" Rei placed her soothingly cool hand on his forehead. "You're still very hot. I think you should take a bath, and then eat something warm. Maybe grandpa will make you some hot noodles…" Rei coaxed.
"Ok…" Alan nodded and looked at Mina. There were dark circles under her eyes and she nearly looked like she was exhausted. "Mina, did you get any sleep last night?" He asked.
"No." Mina smiled. "You were having bad dreams then too. I stayed up and held your hand."
"That was so sweet of you…" Rei smiled. "Look, why don't you get some sleep. I'll take care…" Rei sighed. "of Alan till you wake up." She guided Mina to another bed and tucked her in. Mina's eyes closed and she was a sleeping angel of love. Rei turned to Alan.
"You go ahead and take a bath. I'll go ask Grandpa if he can fix you something hot." She left before Alan could say a word. He sighed and went into the bathroom and took a bath. Rei smiled outside of the stall doors and closed her eyes, remembering the time she walked in on Mamoru bathing. She giggled and blushed, shaking her head.
"Hmmm…. I sense bad demons are with you, Rei." Her grandpa shook a wrinkled head at her. "You need to speak to the fire."
"Grandpa?"
"Yess?"
"Could you make some noodles for Alan? He's kinda…"
"I know… sick." Grandpa nodded and walked away. "I'll make some tea too."
"Thank you grandpa." Rei smiled. Alan walked out of the bathroom, dressed and ready to eat.
"Weren't you…?"
"Grandpa is making some." Rei still had that smile on her face. "Chad?"
"Yes, princess?" Chad came out, his face ragged.
"I'm going to go think in the prayer room. Would you make sure that Alan gets his noodles?"
"Yes." Chad smiled. He brought the hot, steaming noodles to Alan and left. Rei was already down the hall to the fire room. She walked in, feeling the musky scent of spices and herbs surround her. She lay the sacred flowers and plants in the pit and started to burn them.
"Oh great fire… I need your wisdom…" she murmured. "Fire, Wind, Water, Earth- unite!!!!!" The fire grew bigger and crackled, revealing what she wanted to know.
"Ah… Yes, that's what I thought." Rei nodded and closed her eyes, murmuring ancestral saiyan prayers.
Mina woke up. She yawned like a lion, and stretched her back anticipating for the day. "Oh great, I only slept for 4 hours…" she sighed.
"Wake up sleepyhead!!!" Rei laughed and hit her with a pillow.
"Hey!!!!!" Mina hit her back. Soon feathers were flying all over the place. Rei's grandpa came in and started swearing at them, and Alan joined into the fight.
"Haha!!!!!!!" Rei fell backward and bumped into Alan. He grabbed her (so that she wouldn't fall) but it didn't work, and he fell down with her. He lay on top of her with feathers falling all around them. Alan picked up one and ran it over Rei's face. Slowly he bent down towards her. Rei's astonished face soon turned to fury.
"Hentai!!!" She stood up, and hit him with a pillow. He hit her back, and the chaos got even bigger. Mina saw all of this, and she stopped the fight and managed a shaky laugh.
"W-we better get this c-cleared up." She gulped. Rei's eyes widened. "She saw!!!" She thought. "Oh god… Mina..." Tears of fury grew in Rei's eyes.
"I need a break. I am going outside." She shouted.
"OOOh, so now the fight is over- Rei wants to be a lazy idiot." Alan teased.
"Shut up and go to hell." Rei whispered, and walked out. Mina turned her head away and blinked back tears.
"Mina… do you know why Rei was so- Mina!" Alan mouthed. "Now why is she crying all of a sudden???" He thought. His heart tore itself into shreds as he watched tears fall from Mina's face.
"Mina… why are you crying?" He wiped her tears away, and stroked her long, silky, golden hair. Startled blue eyes stared back up at him.
"G-go away… I'll clean this up with Rei later." Mina could barely say her name without a huge blow of envy.
"You know why she got mad at me, don't you?"
"Just get the hell away, Alan. Leave us alone." Mina spat. "Ha, now he's trying to be all sweet to me. The bastard!!!!!" she thought.
"FINE! It's not my fault! God, what the hell did I do?" Alan shouted.
"It is all of your fault, Alan…" Mina whispered as he stomped out. "All of it."
