Chapter 5: The big date
Hey, yep, this chapter's out a bit earlier than I expected. I had some trouble with my internet and I couldn't get into ff.net. So I just spent my time typing. Oh, and by the way, if anyone has written me emails that I didn't respond to, I'm not trying to be rude, my emails blocked, so if you have anything to say, tell me in your review, 'kay? And Rei does a little seduction in this chapter, nothing serious, just playing. Thought I'd warn you. Alright, here's chapter 5!
Rei's P.O.V.
Putting her broom away, Rei glanced around the woods. (Good, no Wufei or girls. Maybe I can get out of this.) She practically ran to her room and did a thorough search to only turn up a few dust balls hiding in her closet. Satisfied, Rei untied her robe and let it drop to the floor. As she pulled the nightgown over her head, she heard the tell-tale giggles and excited chats of the other girls.
(At least I won't be standing here with just a shirt on.) Rei smoothed her nightgown and turned just to see Ami, Makoto, and Minako slid open her door. Each was dressed casually. Makoto had on a tight blue tank top and jeans. Ami was in her usual sky blue skirt and a button down white shirt. Minako was dressed literally to kill, with a golden yellow halter top covered by an open, button down, flowered shirt and faded jeans partly covering her usual heels. They stopped talking and looked at Rei with frowns.
"You're not getting out of it." Minako said seriously.
"Come on, Rei. It's going to be fun." Makoto put her hands on her hips.
Rei crossed her arms. "I absolutely refuse to spend my evening with that....pig!"
Minako shook her head. "Rei we can do this the hard way..."
A few seconds later, Makoto had Rei pinned and Ami and Minako were going through Rei's closet, looking for something for her to wear. "Hmmm, this shirt, yeah that looks good. Oh, she'll knock him dead in this!"
Rei looked over at the excited whispers from her closet. "I do not want to knock anyone dead!! Let me go! Why do I have to go anyway?!"
Minako stepped out of the walk-in closet, carrying a bundle of clothes. "I'll tell you later. Now, put these on, or we'll put them on you."
Rei shoved a laughing Makoto off her and snatched the clothes. "You actually want me to go out in public in this?!"
Five minutes later~~~
"I can't believe I'm actually out in public in this..." Rei put her head in her hands as they stood by the steps of the temple.
"Oh, be quiet they're coming." Minako hushed her, not quite giggling.
Sure enough, the guys came up the steps, all four halting as soon as they saw the girls. Duo stared at Minako, obviously taken with her. Quatre stared for a second, not knowing what to say, but as Ami took his hand he found himself and forced out a 'hello'. Heero, of course, looked as emotionless as ever, but was plainly making an effort not to stare at Makoto, or even look at her at all. Wufei, however, was obviously shocked with Rei's new look. Her skirt was the shortest he had ever seen on anyone, or anyone he bothered to look at, and it was tight enough to show ever curve.
He walked rigidly up to her and could have yelled at her for the insolent look on her face.
Rei saw Wufei's reaction to her outfit and tried to keep herself from smiling. (Maybe I'll play around a little. If he hates the outfit so much, maybe I'll see how far I can push him.) "Well, if we have to go, now's the time." Rei brushed past him, grabbing his arm and pulling hers around it. She pulled him down the steps, taking advantage of his shock.
Glancing back to make sure the others were still there, she drew Wufei's arm closer to her. Twining her arm around it further, she pressed his arm into the curve of her left side, smiling to see him try to cover his surprise. (This is going to be fun.)
Suddenly recovering, Wufei leaned over to her. "What are you doing?"
Rei looked innocently over at him, concealing a frown as she realized they were not the same height, but he was a few inches taller than she was. "What do you mean?"
"What you're doing, what you're wearing, how you're acting... What happened?"
"Nothing happened." Rei turned her gaze back to the empty street, trying not to smile at the strange look Wufei gave her.
They were at the movie theater soon enough, and took a vote on what to see. Ami and Quatre were outnumbered and they ended up buying tickets for 'The Hunter'. It was a Wednesday, so they had the theater to themselves. As the previews started, Duo stretched up his arms and leaned one over Minako. She smirked and rolled her eyes, but leaned into his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around hers.
Rei stopped herself from laughing at how Wufei couldn't keep from glancing at how Rei's skirt rode up her thighs. She absently pulled on it, pretending not to notice.
About halfway through the movie, Rei sank back into her thoughts to recount her accomplishments. She had succeeded in dropping three pieces of popcorn down her shirt, and retrieved them while Wufei tried to concentrate elsewhere, and her dress strap slipped down her shoulder around four times, two times noticed and fixed by Wufei.
But just as the main character was about to finish off he villain, there was an off key bellow from somewhere behind the movie screen and the group rose to their feet. Something slashed through the screen and four youmas pounced down into the seats. The room was silent for a moment as the boys blinked and stared at the creatures in front of them and the girls tried to decide what to do.
Another bellow split the air and the screams of the projector people drifted from the room above them. Suddenly jumping up six rows of seats, the youmas stood right in front of the group. Guns seemed to materialize in the hands of Duo, Quatre and Heero, and a katana appeared in Wufei's hands. He pushed Rei behind him and glanced at her, hissing that she should get out.
Also realizing the girls were still there, Duo jerked his head at the door and looked pointedly at Minako. She hesitated, but complied, pulling Makoto, somewhat reluctantly, Ami and Rei out the door.
Once they were outside, gunshots rang from in the theater. The shots were obviously heard around the building and a mass of people scrambled for the door. After everyone had managed through the doors, Makoto turned to Minako and shouted in anger. "Guns don't work on youmas! They'll die in there!"
Minako pulled her power and transformed before answering. "They can hold them for a few minutes, and we can't transform in front of them. Now transform so we can get in there."
Makoto nodded at the logic and transformed.
The five Scouts burst open the door and the youmas were blasted back away from the guys.
Mars called out to them, deepening her voice to sound different from Rei. "Get out of here, we can take it from here!"
All of them, except Wufei, saw how they had blasted and conceded to let them finish it, but Wufei was reluctant to leave it in the hands of 'a bunch of onnas.' But after some pushing, they cleared the building. The Scouts jumped back into the shadows as they passed, fearing they might recognize them.
Soon enough the youmas were dusted, and since they hadn't stolen any mind crystals, the Scouts de-transformed and headed back to the temple.
The boys were, of course, there and were more than a little pleased to see them trudging up the steps. Minako was pulled instantly into a bone- crushing embrace from Duo, and while Heero kept his emotionless mask, Makoto could have sworn he looked more than relieved to see her alive. Quatre looked at Ami and searched for something to say, but gave up and simply took Ami's hand and squeezed it. Wufei said nothing as well, just looked at Rei, hands at his sides, forever emanating his certain arrogance.
The others saw the pair and drifted away, down the steps to give them space. Rei tried to piece together something to say, but all that fell out was, "You protected me."
Wufei looked half-startled by the statement, but nodded. "I suppose I did."
"Why?"
He hesitated a moment before answering, and his shoulders seemed to drop down when he responded. "Though you will never accept me, in three weeks, we will be bonded, and that will make you mine, and protecting you is what should have been done." He closed his eyes, satisfied with his response.
He heard Rei take in a breath, as if to say something, but there was a tingling in his cheek, and Wufei opened his eyes to see Rei carefully place a kiss there.
"I may not accept you, but that was one of the bravest things anyone has done for me, and I thank you for it." She glanced away before continuing. "And Wufei? Whatever you though of me tonight, with how I was acting, I was trying to confuse you. Don't think of me as a slut or-"
"I didn't think for a second that you were a slut." Wufei said with complete seriousness and stepped nearer to Rei. "I would never think that of you."
Rei felt herself blush with how close he was and almost stumbled back a step from him. "I, I should get to bed now. Good, good night..." She gave a partial wave before slipping into her room. Wufei stood in the blank night, thinking about what just happened. He touched his cheek. (That onna has slapped me, and now she has kissed me. What next?) He reddened as he realized what the next step was. He swallowed and made his way down the steps towards his own home.
In the dark realm~~~~
A man sat on a dark throne and watched the whole scene play out before him on a small orb. When Wufei turned and walked away, the man cackled and the orb disappeared. "Ha ha ha! How fantastic! The Sailor Mars is engaged! And she is actually starting to love her husband!" He laughed madly and slapped his knee. "And the boy is but a human!" His laughed died down. "And being a human makes him easy... This boy will become very useful in the future..."
How was it??? Rei acted a little weird this chapter, but it all plays out in the end. Review me alright???????????
