1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... 7! Chapter 7! Already? I expect chapter 8 to be the end... Sad, huh? ::sniff::
By the way, I don't own Sailor Moon or any of it's characters, nor do I want them. ^_^;

Chapter 7: Almost Confession
"Well, We'll see you two later!" ChibiUsa called, as Rei and Usagi left the Jinja and disappeared down the stairs. She turned to Hotaru and smiled.
"So, Does Rei know about her diary?" the pinkhaired girl asked, and Hotaru blinked.
"Not yet... I was trying to find a way around that..." Hotaru sighed, and ChibiUsa giggled.
"You do have a point... I mean, Rei can be pretty scary sometimes when it comes to things like that." ChibiUsa agreed. Hotaru nodded and swallowed a lump in her throat. She just hoped that Rei didn't have to find out...
~*
"So, Where to?" Rei asked, and Usagi blushed slightly. Rei turned her head towards her odangoed friend... It had been Hotaru's idea for the two to have some time alone and to have a good talk... The subject of that talk was what Rei dreaded the most...
"Uh... What about a movie?" Usagi suggested, then smiled brightly as a dreamy expression crossed her face, "There's this movie that's playing this week that I just gotta see! So, Whaddaya think, Rei? Huh?" Rei smiled in response.
~*
Rei sighed as she and Usagi exited the movie theatre... It had been some boring flic about seven "fighters" protecting the earth from two "aliens" -with many small green friends- who were after the seven mystical "balls". Rei rolled her eyes. That had to be the lamest movie she'd ever seen... And to top that off, Not even Usagi of all people liked it!
"Well," Rei stated, beginning the long and difficult road of forgetting the movie about "fighters", "aliens" and "balls". "What do ya wanna do now, Odango?" she question, shaking the thought from her mind.
"Umm... I dunno... Where d'you wanna go?" she responded and Rei sighed.
"Since you can't decide... Why don't I buy you an icecream?" Rei suggested, and Usagi instantly entered "cute bunnyrabbit Usagi odangohead mode" as Rei had officially named it.
"Really?? Icecream!" Usagi chirped happily, brushing her tongue over her lips. Rei rolled her eyes, not managing to suppress a smile that crept up onto her lips.
A few moments later, After Rei had paid for the two cones at the icecream parlor, she and Usagi headed off towards the park to sit down on a bench.
"How d'you like it?" Rei asked as Usagi attacked the cone... In an orderly fashion, of course!... I think.
"It's great!" Usagi momentarily took a second to respond to her ravenhaired friend before re-attacking the cone with a vengeance.
Rei sighed, and leaned back on the bench in an attempt to escape the constant slurping sound that Usagi continued to make as she ate her icecream like a three year old, still eating her own icecream. Rei continued to try and block out the sound, but it just continued to come back.
"Geez, Odango Atama! Cut it out! You eat like a pig!" Rei finally shouted, ignoring the fact that people on the streets had stopped to stare at her after the outburst. The fact that everyone believed them to be a couple due to the "married couple act" they put on was beside the point completely... And even more so, Was the fact that they weren't "acting" at all...
Usagi extended her tongue, "So d'you!" she retorted, causing Rei to sit back up straight.
"Yeah, You're just louder!"
"Say that again!"
"Three year old!"
"Brat!" was Usagi's final word before the icecream-cone hit the ground, leaving a pink and white slushy mush with small green sprinkles scattered about. Her eyes widened, and Rei recoiled in panic as Usagi gained, "the look".
"Waaahhh! No, My icecream!" she stated between sniffles as she stared down at the contaminated sugary snack. Rei reached over and patted her shoulder.
"Uh, Come on, Usa. Cut that out..." Rei comforted, before looking around frantically then down at her hand. "Um, Uh, That's it!" she stated. "You can have part of my icecream!" Usagi instantly stopped crying, and threw her arms around Rei's neck as the miko gasped for air.
"Y-You're. choking. me." Rei managed. Usagi suddenly released her, causing Rei to nearly facefault, but didn't on account of losing her own icecream-cone.
Rei held the cone over to Usagi and she smiled, before leaning in and taking a bite, causing her eyes to widen as she sat back onto the bench, her face turning almost blue. "I-It's co-old!" she stated, her teeth aching slightly.
"Of course it's cold, Odango Atama! Where d'ya think they get the name, "Ice"cream cones?? Wasn't your's cold?" she questioned. Usagi looked up and blinked. "Cause if it wasn't, I need to go back and get a refund..."
"You are SOOO--"
"Here, Try again." Rei interrupted with a smile, handing Usagi the icecream, leaving her in a state of shock, "Don't bite into it so fast this time, kay?" she finished with a wink causing Usagi to look down at the icecream and blush slightly as she accepted it from Rei's hand.
"Thanks, Rei-chan!"
~*
After sharing Rei's icecream-cone, Rei and Usagi were still sitting on the bench, talking about miscellanious things.
"... Well, Should we get goi--?" Rei started to ask, but then suddenly remembered what Hotaru had said earlier that day...
* "Listen, Rei-san... You have to tell her." "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."
"Later?" "Oh... Okay... I'll tell her..."
"When?"
"How soon do I have to?"
"As soon as possible." *
Rei sighed. It wasn't going to be easy. She swallowed a lump in her throat. "Um, Usa?" she started, causing Usagi to turn towards, large blue eyes blinking a few times.
"Yeah? What's up, Rei-chan?" Usagi asked. Rei sighed.
"I, um... have somethin I've gotta tell you..." the miko stated... Then thought about it for a moment... It was true. She did have to... But she was beginning to question her ability to actually do it. "Uh..."
"What is it Rei-chan?" Usagi asked again, and Rei blushed. She had to tell her... But couldn't it wait until... um, say, tomorrow?
"Well... I... We need to get back to the Hikawa Jinja before ChibiUsa and Hotaru start to worry! Besides, we, uh, need to fix dinner!" Rei stated and stood up rather quickly, leaving a confuzzled Usagi to get up as well. "So, Let's go!"
