A Love Not Rivaled
Prologue: Secrets
~Hikawa Shrine~
It was so quiet and lonely at the shrine, and Raye was sweeping the steps outside, "It's so quiet...Without Grandpa around..." Raye admits. She remembers when Grandpa and Chad had lived in the shrine. Now Grandpa Hino had moved to Hibashi, and Chad had went to America. 'Why did they leave? Now there is no one here but me..It's a big responsibility keeping the shrine clean, and tending to visitors...But.. I can't just leave..' Raye thought to herself, as she stopped sweeping for a moment.
Suddenly, Raye here's someone running up the shrine steps. 'Who could that be?' Wondered Raye. "Hi, Raaaaaaayyye!!" Serena lost balance and fell face first onto the ground. "Oh..Serena, Are you okay?" Raye asks kneeling down beside her friend. But, She is dazed, and has spirals in her eyes. "Oh no! I'd better get you inside!" Raye says. She carries Serena inside, and lays her down on her bed.
A while later, Serena awakes and sits up. She looks around, and sees Raye's bedroom. "But, Where 'Is' Raye?" Serena wonders. 'In the meantime, I think I'll help myself to a nice hot bath...' Serena thinks to herself. She goes into the bathroom, and runs some water, "Perfect!" She says, sticking a finger in the water. She stands up, and undresses. She steps into the tub, thinking 'I hope Raye doesn't mind...'
'I wonder how long it will be until Serena re-gains consiousness.. I hope she'll be okay..' Raye thinks, walking into her room, carrying a newly soaked cloath to put on Serena's forehead, and a glass of water, for when she awakes. She walks in the room, and looks around 'Where did you go?' She thinks.
Then, Raye hears humming coming from her own private bathroom. She grabs a broom, and slowly starts towards the bathroom. She opens the door, slowly, then hops in and points her broom at Serena, "Oh! That's where you are!" Says the Miko. "Sorry. I just thought I'd soak a few moments." Serena says, looking at Raye. Then Raye 'Finally' notices that Serena is 'Naked'! 'Serena is..Naked? In a..Tub?' *Bright Red Blushes*. "What's the matter, Raye?" Asks Serena looking at her crimson-cheeked friend.
Serena then notices what Raye is 'gawking' at, so she grabs a towel, and covers herself after getting out of the tub. She then puts her clothes on, but her hair is still down. She is wearing a white sleeve-less top and navy blue bike-shorts, with pink sandals(no socks). Raye admires Serena's beauty, as Serena sits on a chair next to the tub. "Uh..Raye? Do you have a 'brush' I could borrow?" Asks Serena, politely. "Oh, uh..Sure! Be right back!" Raye says running into her room. Serena blinks, confused.
Raye returns with a red hair-brush which Serena gladly accepts, and begins to brush her long golden-blond hair. Raye takes in Serena's beauty, as Serena brushes her hair. 'Oh, Serena! Don't you know how beautiful you really are?' Thinks Raye, wishing she could speak aloud. But, Raye didn't want to run the risk of losing her 'best-friend'. She loved Serena, more than anything, but no matter how she felt, she didn't want to lose Serena.
"Raye, Here you go." Serena says, holding out the brush. Raye takes it, and lays it on the counter in-front of the mirror. Serena stands, turns, and her beautiful shiny golden hair, turns with her. Raye notices every moment, as she thinks about just how beautiful Serena really is. "Raye." Serena says. "Y-Yes?" Raye says, coming back to earth. "This may be a 'painful' question, but, WHY, exactly 'did' Chad leave?" Serena asks the Miko. "He wanted to be my..boyfriend.." Raye replies, looking down.
"I knew that.." Serena says. "He even begged me one night. That was the night before he left. I told him I couldn't because I loved someone else." Raye says, tears beginning to fill her eyes. Unshed tears were forming in Serena's eyes as well. "I'm so sorry, Raye.." Serena appologizes, "But..who?" Raye ignores Serena's question, "Don't worry about it! He never really loved me! And, he was always only a friend. I don't know why he and everyone else thought I liked him..I didn't!" Raye says, drying her unshed tears.
"Then, who, Raye? Who is it you love?" Asks Serena. "Raye turns around, and says, "I can't! I can't tell you!" "So there 'is' someone?" Asks Serena. Raye goes into her room, and sits on her bed. Serena follows, and sits next to her. Raye then lays on the bed, and buries her face in her pillow, so Serena won't see her tears. "Raye?" Asks Serena, worridly.
"I can't tell you, Serena! It will only make things worse!" Raye says. "Please, Raye! I need to know!" Serena says, hiding something, herself. "It's...You, Serena!" Raye says, after she sits back up. "M-ME?" Ask Serena. "I'm sorry!" Raye says, crying. "I..Love you, too Raye. I just can't love you the..same way...I am getting married to Darien next month!" Serena says. "I..understand." Raye says, after hearing the words she knew she would hear. Tears are pouring down Serena's cheeks.
"I'm so sorry, Raye!" Serena says, through her tears. "Don't be! I already knew you were in love with Darien! Don't worry about me!" Raye says, wiping her tears away, and managing a quick smile.
By this time, tears are gushing out of Serena's eyes. She throws her arms around Raye, and appologizes, "I'm So Sorry! I never knew! Why didn't you say anything?" "I didn't want to loose you as my friend.. Serena!" Raye says. "But, Raye! Please promise you'll tell me what's going on from now on?" Says the teary-eyed odango-atama. "I...." Raye says. "Promise me! Please, Raye!" Serena begs. "Okay...I will" Raye says. "Thanks Raye! You don't know 'how' much this means to me!" Says Serena.
The fire senshi smiles at her princess, and says, "I'm sorry..I didn't mean to hurt you.." She dries the tears from Serena's eyes. Serena then manages a smile and says, "Well, You did. As long as you won't do this to me anymore!" Serena says. "So, Serena. Do 'you' have anything I should know about?" Asks Raye. "N-No. I don't!" Serena says quickly. "You sure? You look like you do." Raye says. "I already said I don't!" Says the blond-odango. "Okay!" Says Raye, "If you do, Will you?"
"I will!" Says Serena. Serena snuggles closer to Raye, and buries the right side of her face in Raye's chest. Raye puts her arms around her, and her chin on Serena's head. This truly was the best friend Raye would ever have. Serena still cared about her, even with what Raye had said to her. Raye was glad Serena knew in a way, but at the same time, regretted it. She didn't want her princess to treat her any differently because of it, Although, At least it wasn't hidden inside her heart anymore. She knew. Serena knew. She was the one who held the key to her heart.
