Chapter 2
While Rei is lost in the woods carrying the unconscious girl around, the
other senshi are trying to make Usagi wake up.
"OK, if this doesn't work nothing will!" said Haruka lifting a large bucket of ice-cold water over Usagi.
"Well, I guess there is nothing to lose, all the stuff we tried before
didn't work at all" sighed Minako.

"OK, here it goes ...1.... 2.... 3!!!" *SPLASHHH!!! *
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Usagi.
"Looks like the water was way too cold, wasn't it?" said Haruka.

--------------------------------------Back to Rei -------------------------

*AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *
Usagi's scream was heard all over the woods.

Rei turned in the direction where the scream was heard.
"Usagi is screaming.... surely Haruka woke her up" Rei giggled at the
thought. "Ugggghh...." the girl on Reis back was making noises.
"I better go to the Temple, at least Usagi was good for something."

Rei ran for another 5 minutes but at last she reached the shrine.

-------------------------
"YOU BAKA HARUKA WHY THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT!!!!!!!" Usagi was shouting Haruka.
"Ohh! Come on meatball head, while you were in La-la Land Rei went to the
woods chasing her two baka ravens and we couldn't go help her because you wouldn't wake up!!!"

"That doesn't matter now, baka!!!, Ami help me please!!" while Haruka and
Usagi were arguing no one noticed Rei entering the house until now.

"OH MY GOD REI YOU'RE BLEEDING!!" Ami shrieked,
"It's not me" Rei said. As she laid the girl on her bed, Ami went
white at the sight of the girl.
"Mako-chan!! Call an ambulance, I'll give her first aid." Ami proceeded at
removing the girl's black tunic, when she touched it he felt a lump on her
back that shouldn't be there. She shrugged it off and proceeded on taking
off the blood stained tunic...she almost shouted when the saw what the "lump" was...
"Wings... a big pair of dragon like wings.... it cant be...." Luna said and went away.
"Makoto...."
"Yes?"
"Umm… Forget the ambulance"
"WHAT !! THE GIRL NEEDS AN AMBULANCE, AMI, OR ELSE SHE WONT MAKE IT!!!" Rei
shouted. The senshi were shocked.... it was the first time Rei showed so
much concern about someone. Rei felt a reassuring hand on her shoulder... it was Michiru.
"Rei ... Ami is right, this is no ordinary girl we're dealing with, if you
call the ambulance imagine the consequences, they wouldn't help her...."
"They would go and panic, Rei, but don't worry I'll take care of her, don't worry..."said Ami reassuringly.
"Unnghhh.... mmmffff...." the girl was seemed to come back to consciousness but she went limp again.
"Rei!! Bring me hot water, Minako bring bandages, Haruka and Michiru bring me some of Rei's clothes, Makoto please bring my schoolbag now hurry!!"
"And what do I do Ami?" Asked Usagi sweetly.
"Errrmmm.... wash the girls clothes? "
" Yes Ami!!" Usagi gingerly picked up the girls clothing and
immediately went to do her work as if it was the most important thing in the world.

After everyone brought what Ami had told them to, she made them wait
outside. Except Rei and Usagi, there was no way to make them wait.

Ami started cleaning the girls' cuts, Rei did the same while wondering what the hell could have happened to the girl.

"How did you find her, Rei?" asked Ami, trying to relieve Rei's tension a bit.
" While I was chasing Phobos and Deimos, they suddenly stopped at a clearing
in the woods, as if they were waiting for her, then a BIG and white
lion-like beast with really long fangs crashed a few meters away from
me and she was on top of it. I think she was riding on it. "

"And where is the beast?" asked Usagi
"Well you won't believe me but .... it transformed into this" Rei took out the pendant that she had found.

".... I think you drank too much sake, Rei" said Usagi. ^_^
" ¬_¬ Yeah! whatever."
"I wouldn't be so sure Usagi, after seeing a winged girl I don't think the
story of the pendant and the beast is just a drunk tale of Rei´s." Ami said.
"Thankyou so much Ami _."
After two hours of cleaning and bandaging , they were done. Rei touched
the girl and noticed something.

"Ami she is way too cold..." Ami touched the girl and noticed the same.
"What do I do?" asked Rei.
" Well Rei, you are the goddess of fire do something about it " Ami joked
with Rei so that she wasn't so anguished about the girl.
"I'm serious Ami," Rei didn't find it funny at all.
"Well I don't think you'd want to do it, so lets just cover her with more blankets, ok?"
"Why wouldn't I want to do it?"
"Because the best way to warm a human body is with another human body ,
sooo, I don't think you'd want to cuddle with her all night... hehehehe"

Ami then went to bring everyone the news of the stable state the girl was in
now. Rei blushed and looked at the girl, she had a muscular but attractive
figure , long , straight and soft brown hair, two streaks of hair that framed her face...

'She looks like an angel...what the!!! where the hell did that came
from!
You baka Rei, you don't even know her name.' Rei thought.
"Rei we're all leaving now," said Usagi
"If something comes up call me ok?" said Ami
"Bye-bye everyone," Rei said sweetly.

After a while Rei was alone in her room...as always, the doves of
depression once again nestled in her heart.
"Why can't I have someone in my life... like Ami has Makoto, like
Haruka adores Michiru?"
*kwaaak* Phobos landed on Rei´s lap looking at her, if it was possible , with concern...

A single tear crossed Rei´s face , but she quickly wiped it out.
"Now where am I gonna sleep?" she asked her raven giving it a melancholic
smile. As if the bird understood, it flew and landed on the bed the girl was sleeping on.
*kwaaaak* the raven stood on the bed as it kwaaked, proud of itself.

The bed was a big one, there was enough pace for Rei to fit without
being too close to the girl.
"well, ok"

She changed into a night gown and got in next to the girl, as she did
this she looked at the girl.

´She's pretty ... Again! Dammit Rei you're acting like some ditz with a crush!!´
Rei turned of the lights and lay on the bed.... She was close to the girl,
then the girl moved, they were closer and Rei felt something...

'She's still cold...and shivering...' the girl was shivering slightly.
'Oh man, she is too cold,' Rei remembered Ami's advice about the best
way of warming a human body.
´Well if it is for the well-being of this girl it can't be that bad...'
*she blushed*
Rei moved close to the girl and she immediately curled up with Rei, who smiled.
´Oh gosh, I'm grinning, I really must look like an idiot!' Rei then started drifting to sleep.

Rei had a odd dream that night in which this strange girl and she fell in
love, adopted children and took care of the temple together, and best of all... Rei wasn't alone anymore; she had a family of her own which wouldn't
dump her like her father. It was quite strange but Rei liked it - how do we know?

Well, just look at the stupid grin she has now that she's asleep. ^_^
