Title: I am not! Chapter 14 Author: Alcandre Rating: PG



Yeah, um, sorry about the formatting in the last chapter. I don't know what happened. I hope this one is better in that respect! Anyway, I am sorry for the delay in getting this chapter out. I started school and then I was in a play and then finals started! But now, I am free!!!!!! Well, until the beginning of January. Please review!

Yeah. let's just say that I may be insane but I'm not so insane that I claim Sailor Moon as mine. *small laugh* yeeaahh.

I ran to the shrine. hoping that Rei would be there. She had to be, I had to talk to her.

I ran up the stairs to the shrine, nervous and excited at the same time. I didn't know what I as going to say. I mean, should I just barge in there and demand an apology or just stand there?

I finally reached the door to Rei's room. I took a deep breath, raised my hand, and jumped back in surprise when the door opened. Rei stood there, looking upset-really upset.

"Rei."

She blinked and made a small noise in the back of her throat. "Usagi?"

I gave a small smile and nodded to her. She looked terrible. Her eyes were red rimmed and her hair, her perfect raven hair, was in need of a brushing.

"What-what are you doing here?" she asked quietly.

"I came to talk to you."

She backed up and let me enter her room, the room where we had so many senshi meetings and study sessions.

She sat on her bed and looked down at her lap. "Usagi-"

I cut her off. "Rei, I know."

Her head snapped up and her eyes widened. "You know? How?"

"Minako," I said simply.

Rei nodded and sat in silence for a few minutes. And then, I heard a sound I never expected to hear from Hino Rei. She started sobbing, right there in front of me.

"Oh gods, Usagi, I am so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. You were my first and best friend and then I went and ruined that. I was just so worried about you. I didn't want to see you get hurt and then I was the one to hurt you."

I sat down beside her on the bed and gathered her in my arms. "It's okay, Rei-chan. I forgive you."

"How can you?" she sobbed. "I screamed at you and called you names and was nothing even resembling a best friend to you."

"But I do forgive you, Rei. These past few weeks have been Hell for me as well. Not having all of you to hang out with is terrible. I miss all of you so much, especially you and our screaming fits." She gave a small laugh then started sobbing again. "Rei, please don't cry anymore."

She sniffed and looked up at me. "I can't help it. I started crying so much these past few days, I think my body just needs a release."

I stared at her then started laughing. And she soon followed, laughing through her tears.

After a few minutes, we settled down and she took my hand. "Usagi, can we go back to being friends?"

"We never stopped." I said, smiling widely and pulling her into a hug. "I just had to yell at all of you and get it out of my system."

To be continued. soon. I hope
