Chapter 6: A.S.A.P.
"A-a-achoo!" Usagi sneezed in her sleep, causing her eyes to pop open. She pulled up her left hand to brush across her nose. The blonde odangohaired girl then sat up to see that Rei was still asleep. She smiled, then turned to scan the wall for a clock... It had taken her at least an hour the previous night to convince Rei to let her sleep in her room with her, but it had been worth it... After all, Who wants to sleep in a dusty old guestroom?
She finally discovered a clock on the wall above the door, and squinched her eyes slightly to make out the time. "8:45...?" she mumbled, then turned her head back to the sleeping miko.
"Rei?" she asked, reaching over with a hand and shaking the girl's shoulder a bit. Rei mumbled something, smiling. Usagi leaned in closer to try and figure out what she was saying, but couldn't quite make it out. (Ah, She's just talkin in her sleep.) Usagi sighed and cleared her throat, taking a deep breath.
"REI!" she yelled, causing the girl to bolt upright immediately, and jerk her head from side to side, frantically.
"Usagi!?" she questioned, before finally settling her eyes on the blondehaired girl and sighing. "Don't scare me like that, Odango Atama."
"Scare you? You mean you were worried... about little ol' Usagi?" she asked, leaning in toward Rei, putting on her best puppydog eyes again.
"Usagi?" Rei asked and smiled, "Who said anything about Usagi. I said Odango Atama." she finished with a triumphant smile.
"MEANIE!" Usagi whined, sitting backwards on her backside... "Come to think of it, It's morning." she stated. Rei sighed.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Rei asked, looking at Usagi questioningly.
"But, I "did" wake you up!" Usagi responded, sticking out her tongue.
"Ah well, It doesn't matter." Rei finished, before pushing herself up to her feet. "I think I'll go check on ChibiUsa and Hotaru..." Rei stated, before remembering when she had gone to check on them the night before. "O-On second thought, Why don't we just get some breakfast?"
"Breakfast sounds great!"

After getting dressed and eating breakfast, Rei and Usagi had sat down in the tearoom with ChibiUsa and Hotaru... They'd been talking for awhile now, but were about to leave for a walk around Tokyo.
Hotaru sighed. "Usagi-san? Usa?" she asked, causing the two odangoed girls to turn their attentions towards her, "Why don't you two go on ahead. I need to talk with Rei-san," she suggested. Rei looked over to her a bit confused. "If," she added, "That's alright with Rei-san."
"No, That's fine. I needed to talk to you too." Rei responded, "Usagi? Why don't you and ChibiUsa go ahead and be catching up?"
Usagi nodded and ChibiUsa flashed Hotaru a quick smile before the two stood and headed out of the room, to further go out of the shrine altogether...
"Alright, You go first." Rei stated, almost eager to know what it was her almost-double had to say.
"Actually, Rei-san, This should wait." Hotaru responded, motioning for Rei to go ahead. Rei nodded.
"Fine with me," she said, and cleared her throat. The one thing that had been bothering her since the previous night. She needed to get it off her chest, and Hotaru was the main one she wanted to tell. Then, without another thought, she asked, "Why were you and ChibiUsa kissing last night when I came to check on you?"
Hotaru blushed and smiled. "Simple enough. You see, Usa and I had... started a "relationship" before returning here to the past." she explained, causing Rei's eyes to widen. So, She "had" seen what she'd thought she'd seen... "I love her," she finished, and Rei sighed. She couldn't blame the girl. Afterall, She could be accused of a similar crime with ChibiUsa's mother... Falling in love, was it? What kind of crime was that, anyway?
"I see." Rei responded and smiled, "I thought so."
"Now," Hotaru stated, sitting back up straight as Rei tilted her head slightly, "I have a question... How is it that you really feel for Usagi?"
Rei nearly turned blue at the sudden question, and choked slightly on her tea, which she had just finished taking a sip of. Hotaru blinked, "Are you alright?"
"W-What did you mean by that?" Rei asked, hoping she had been mistaken.
"I mean, How do you feel about Usagi?" Hotaru queried again. Rei swallowed a lump in her throat.
"I... She's my friend?" Rei offered, shrugging her shoulders. Hotaru shook her head from side to side.
"No, Try again." Hotaru responded, smiling slightly, "You can't fool me, Rei-san. I already know how you feel. I just wanna here you say it." Rei sighed. She didn't want to have to tell the other girl about it, It was personal! But, yet, some part of her insisted that she should and Rei supposed it was as good a time as ever...
"Well... Ya see... I love her..." Rei bit her tongue. Hotaru gave her a questioning look. "I'm... "in" love "with" her..." she finished. She was startled to see Hotaru begin clapping.
"Great job, Rei-san! Now, You do know that you're gonna have to tell "her" that, right?" Hotaru questioned, causing Rei to groan.
"Hotaru, I can't--" she started, but Hotaru cut her off.
The other ravenhaired girl stretched her arms above her head. "Listen, Rei-san... You have to tell her." Hotaru interrupted, "It's important that you do... And, If you don't, We'll just have to tell her for you."
"I..."
"She's gonna have to find out sooner or later, anyway. You know that." Hotaru stated. Rei swallowed a lump in her throat.
"Later?" Rei asked, and Hotaru shook her head from side to side. "Oh... Okay... I'll tell her..." she reluctantly agreed... After all, Hotaru "was" right... She was going to have to tell Usagi the truth...
"When?" Hotaru asked again. Rei sighed.
"How soon do I have to?" the miko asked, and Hotaru smiled.
"As soon as possible."
