Dreams Of Destiny
Chapter 1
A light rain hit the temple windows, as Rei's reflection looked back at her. Her hands were folded under her chin, her raven hair poured out on the sides of her head and down her back. She was still in her temple robes, and they were still a little dirty from all the work her and Chad had to do that day.
Grandpa went on his spiritual tour around the world, something he does every 20 years or so. She looked to see the moon barely showing through the clouds that blanked Tokyo. The front yard was full of shadows as some cherry blossoms fell off their trees in the light breeze. Rei always loved when she had some time to look outside and just stare at its beauty. Ever since she became a sailor scout, to be sworn to protect the princess, she never had a moments peace. She always looked forward to these uninterrupted moments, just to relax and think of nothing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The light noise of rain hit Chad's ears as he sat on the front porch. He was very tired from all the work he and Rei had done today. Tomorrow would be hard also since they had to start cleaning out the storage rooms. But he never got bored or annoyed with his work. Some people called him stupid to stay at the temple, he was part of a very wealthy family, he would have everything he needed if he had stayed with his family. But two things kept him from ever thinking about going back, freedom and Rei. Both were worth staying and working all day, and he never felt that he made the wrong decision.
The light sound of the rain seemed to make him sleepy I better get some sleep or I will be a walking zombie tomorrow.' Chad got up from the porch and opened the rice paper door to see his love staring out at the rain.
Wow she's beautiful.' he thought.
Yes Chad? Rei was still looking out at the rain while she talked.
Oh, well I'm going to go to bed. He stumbled over his words as they came out of his mouth.We have a lot of work to do tomorrow, you should get your sleep too. He had always felt so small around Rei, even though she wasn't the most perfect person to many, she was to Chad.
All right, I'll go to bed in a while. Thanks for caring. She still didn't look from the window.
Ok Rei, good night. Chad turned and walked out of the room. Wow, I hope someday she will love me back.' he thought as he opened the door to his small room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I should go to bed shouldn't I. Rei sighed in her mind. She stood up as her purple highlights flashed in the low light. She walked down the hallway to her bed room, where all the guest rooms and Chad's room was also. She opened her door and turned on her light, her room reflected her
personality. It was like almost all the other rooms in the temple, strong rice paper walls with a bed in the corner, but she made it her own as much as she could. She had a small vanity that held all the trinkets she collected over the years.
She had many pictures of her friends that littered the mirror, Ami, Makoto, Minako, Darien, and Usagi. Usagi is so lucky to have a person to love.' she thought. Her dresser next to her bed held all the clothes she could fold in there, and there was a small closet in the corner that held all her dresses and two more of her priestess robes. She slipped into her pj's and climbed into her bed that she had slept as long as she could remember. Rei pulled the covers on and laid in bed. Her eyes started to shut and she went to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chad closed his door and looked around his room to find the picture he loved. For most guys he was fairly near in keeping his room up. He had a small dresser next to his bed that kept all his clothes and some of his prized positions. He dug under all his clothes in his second drawer to find
what he was looking for. It was Rei's school picture, she gave them out every year but always forgot about Chad. This year she didn't, she even wrote on the back of the picture for him, Sorry I haven't given you one before this year, I keep forgetting you are more then grandpa's helper around the temple, you are a friend. Love Rei' He loved that part, Love Rei He knew everyone she gave them to had that on it, but he really took it to
heart.
He could hear Rei walk through the hallway to her room. He smiled as he looked at the picture that could never capture her true beauty, her true spirit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rei found herself surrounded by a light red mist that felt cool on her skin. She looked behind her to see a beautiful pond that was crystal clear. She starred into the shallow water and it reflected back a princess. She was dressed in a floor length light red dress that fit her figure perfectly, and her dark hair flooded around her. She had a beautiful ruby necklace around her neck and a small gold crown with 3 ruby stones placed into it.
She heard a noise and saw a man in a red tuxedo behind her. His hair was short and brown, and he was wearing a red top hat and a white mask. He wore deep ruby cufflinks that complemented the outfit. The white mask covered all his features except his eyes and mouth, which curved into a smile. Rei starred into his deep eyes and noticed he wanted her to look down. There in his hands held a simple red blossom, flower that only grew on Mars. She picked the flower from his hands and smelled the sweet fragrance. The man took the flower from her and slid it between her hair and ear. The blossom and dress matched perfectly. She smiled as she saw him take her arm in his.
They walked through the light red mist to revel a beautiful castle. It was like nothing she could have ever imagined. It was tall and towered over everything else in sight. It had a 5 foot wall surrounding its base, and the walls of the castle sparkled in the light. The reason was that the walls were sprinkled with jewels and rubies.
Rei could feel him take her hand and whorl her in front of him, their faces only inches away. No words were needed, his eyes spoke for themselves. I know you are confused but all will come in due time my princess.' Then he became blurry and all the colors molded together.
Rei's eyes shot open, she sat up and turned on her light. Everything was the same as before. Her clock showed 12:31 in the morning. She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep so she put on clean princess robes and ran to the fire room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chad looked up at the clock, 12:29. I should really get some sleep or I will never be able to work tomorrow.' he sighed and looked once more at Rei's picture. I hope I can win her heart' He placed the picture back under his pile of clothes in his dresser. He placed his hand on the light and turned it off, just when he heard Rei's door open violently and close a little lighter. He could hear her small foot steps go down the hallway to the fire room. Chad climbed out of bed and stuck his head out.
He could barely see her small figure walking down the dark hallway, but he could tell that she had put on clean priestess robes again. He closed his door lightly behind him and followed where the Rei was heading. The rice paper doors to the fire room were open just enough so he could see the raven hair beauty fall on her knees in font of the fire. She placed her hands in front of herself and started to chant.
Chad loved to watch Rei do her fire chanting, they didn't just calm Rei down they also calmed Chad just watching her. But some how this was different, this one was louder and more powerful. The fire cracked and it cast it's brightness against the light color walls of the fire room. Rei started to chant harder and got up as far as she could on her knees. She is struggling against something or someone.' Chad thought.
He had never seen Rei but so much energy into her chants. She started to waver backwards but she seemed to be fighting back. She started to push forward toward the fire, and Chad started to get scared. What is she falls into the fire' he thought frantically. But he question was answered as she was thrown hard backward 10 feet back. Chad wanted to run out and help her but her eyes opened wide and she got up. She rubbed her head and stared at the fire in a questioning manner.
Chad didn't want Rei to know he had been spying on her, so he quietly walked back to his room with his door only a crack open. Rei came through the hallway slowly but surly. She opened her door, but before she turned her light on, in the pitch darkness, she turned towards Chad's door and stared strait him. She looked at him in acknowledgment then went in her room and closed her door. Chad closed his door, trying to figure out what just happened.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sun peaked over the small hills of Tokyo, and a new day was born. Rei's eyes opened and she sat up in her bed to stare out at the sun. A dizzy spell hit her, and her head started to throb. She rubbed the back of her head, and tried to remember why she felt so bad. Then all the memories of last night came flooding back.
The dream, the masked man, the castle, the words his eyes told her. Then she remembered the reason her head hurt. She had walked out of her room last night wanting to find answers. She had
opened her door very hard but remembered Chad and tried to close it softer. Rei remembered walking down the dark hallway to the fire room, and keeling in front of the large fire. She started to chant like she had always, but right when her mind cleared another force pushed at her. She had been very tired from the day before, all the working she had done, so she couldn't fight the
force as well as she wished.
She pushes her mind to it's limits trying to over take the force that wouldn't let her find out the meaning of the dream. Just when she thought she over took it, it pushed back at her with 5 times the force as before. She remembered blacking out and waking up with a splitting head ache 10 feet away from where she had started to pray. She had got up, tired and bruised, and went to her room. She had rubbed her head and left the fire room and down the dark hallway. She then opened her door, but felt a presents around her. She could tell it was Chad through the darkness, he was looking as her through a small crack in the door. She had looked strait at him and then went back in her room. She didn't even bother with the light and she fell asleep before her head it the pillow.
It was coming clear to Rei now that a force was trying to keep her from understanding her
dreams. The question was, why?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A ray of sunlight traveled through Chad's window into his eyes he blinked and closed his eyes once more. He felt so drained from the night before, he had been thinking about what Rei had done. He still had no idea what had happened and wanted some answers, but he knew Rei would be the one to tell him.
He needed to tell Celine, she was the one that helped him through all the times he had trouble with understanding Rei, which meant she was at the temple a lot. She came from America with her friend Ana, they were the only ones that understood Chad. Celine, Ana, and Chad had started a band a while ago, when they first came to Tokyo. They were only going to be in Tokyo for the rest of the school year since they were only there for an exchange program.
Celine was the only other girl, except for Rei, that he knew meditated. But she didn't need a fire to concentrate. She was able to meditate when needed, wherever, whenever. He never had to call Celine either because she could sense when Chad needed to talk about something. He got dressed and went into the kitchen. He looked out of the window and saw Celine coming up to the front door of the temple. Celine had black hair, just like Rei's, only Celine's hair was a little shorter and didn't have the purple highlights. She always had her black locks in a ponytail and her eyes
were blue, not purple like Rei's.
So what is wrong today Chad? Celine said as she stepped up the first step if the temple.
Something out if the ordinary amazingly. he laughed. They both went to the garden in the back of the temple and sat on two rocks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rei decided it would be a good idea to take a shower and relax a little. She walked down 2 doors to the large bathroom that held a bath and shower. Her mind kept thinking as she got in. The dream kept haunting her mind, and she couldn't get it out. She had a scout meeting in an hour or so, she had a lot to do. Making lunch for her friends, mostly Usagi, was a chore in itself.
She had been a scout for quiet sometime now. She never liked having so much to do, keeping the temple up, keeping her spirit up by meditating a lot, and keeping away all the evil that came to planet earth. But she knew when she was needed by the scouts, Chad would help with the chores she couldn't do. He never knew what she went out to do, but Chad was a person that wouldn't ask to many questions.
She turned the shower off and got out. She took her towel and wiped the mirror off so she could see herself. She put her towel on and let her wet raven hair down. She looked at herself in the mirror, and thought Why doesn't anyone love me? I need a guy to love me. I wonder about that masked me, could he really be for me?'
She wrapped her hair in a towel and walked out into the hallway. She looked out of the large picture window that faced the temple garden where Celine and Chad were talking on two large rocks. Wow, I wish I had someone to love.' She thought, They look so cute together.' She felt a wave of envy run through her as she walked into her room. She put on new priestess robes and went into the kitchen to start to get food for her friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think something is wrong with Rei. Chad said with worry in his voice. He was looking to Celine for answers. He saw that the sun wasn't to high in the sky so he would have a little while before Rei's friends came like they always did. The weather was beautiful and the cherry blossoms were in bloom, but his mind wasn't on the cherry blossoms. Rei was acting strange last night.
I'm ready, tell me all about it. Celine said ready to hear what Chad was so worried about. She heard in his voice as he told his story, concern and sadness for the girl he has loved from afar for so long.
Then she looked at me in the dark and closed the door. He finished. His voice was still soaked in sadness.
Wow, that sure isn't that usual Rei that hits you with a broom. Celine thought about it, Well what do you think happened?
I think Rei was fighting with another force during her meditations. I am not sure why she was or why she was meditating at 12:30. Chad had a worried look on his face.
You should talk to her about it, she would be the one to ask. Celine knew that wasn't something he would do but it was worth a try.
What are you talking about Celine? I can't talk to her about it, then she would know I was snooping around more then just looking out my door.
Would you stop that! You are looking out for her wellbeing, stop thinking you are less then her, I know you are thinking that. She is a human to you know, she makes mistakes. Just as she said her last word she saw Rei's friends walk towards the temple. They were laughing and chatting, Ami, Makoto, and Minako, all except Usagi, she was late again. Just as the girls went to knock on the front door, Usagi was running down the street trying to get the girls not to knock so she wouldn't look like she was late.
Wait girls!!! I don't want Rei to know I was late! She yelled as she ran to the temple porch.
Don't worry, I already know. Rei said sighing. She was standing with the other girls on the porch already. Usagi just looked at her weirdly and walked in.
Wow, Rei didn't yell at Usagi. Celine said
I didn't know what was bothering Rei was that bad! Chad said.
