Chapter Six

            Jadeite was flipping through the channels on the television, looking incredibly grumpy while doing so. Stupid channels. Stupid television. Jadeite turned it off and lay back on his bed. It was hard to believe that just two days before, he and Rei were sleeping in that same bed.

            For him those moments together had been wonderful. It seemed as though Rei had finally stopped digging her heels in the ground every step of the way. Like they could start a life together. The Hiwaka Jinja was nice. He really wouldn't mind living there, provided that a certain current occupant was thrown out.

            In an instant, Rei managed to shatter the dreams and then stomp on the fragments until they were dust. Maybe it was true; she really didn't love him anymore. But the way she felt and moved when they were together; there was no way she could do that unless she felt something for him.

            He hadn't really meant those things about her sleeping around. He had been pissed off and tired. Why couldn't Rei, for once, make things easy on him? Was he asking too much in life?

            Rei…you're so beautiful…I don't think you realize how much you are…

            Jadeite rubbed his face into the pillow that she had slept on. If it actually smelled like her, that would be good. He flipped himself over on his back.

            I love her…dammit…

            He felt like masturbating to take his mind of things but that was losing its appeal with each passing moment. He should be trying to do something. Anything. Then an idea came to him. Jadeite sat up and grinned.

            It was time for another trip to the good old Hiwaka Jinja.

*                                              *                                              *

            "What the hell do you want?" Rei asked as he approached her as she was walking around the grounds.

            "You don't look happy to see me." Jadeite steered her behind the hut that she sold charms in.

            "Hey!" Rei wretched her arm away from him. Jadeite was a little less then amused right now with her stubbornness. "What?"

            "I missed you." Jadeite kissed her and Rei didn't stop him, partially because she hadn't been expecting it. When it dawned on her that Yuuchirou could come along any moment she pushed away from Jadeite. Jadeite rolled his eyes.

            "You don't take hints very well, do you?" Rei glared at him.

            "Hints? I thought a good hint was that we left on such good terms." Jadeite smiled at her in a way that made Rei's hand tighten into a fist. "Now, I know that we have to keep a low profile so I was thinking…my shower?" Rei hit his arm.

            "We did it once and I never want to again." Rei stated firmly.

            "Really?" Jadeite cocked his head to one side.

            "Yes." Rei's expression didn't change.

            "Not even…a little?" Jadeite moved next to her and slid his hand over her bottom. His hand kept going as he got even closer and started to move the other hand around.

            "Stop it!" Rei hissed at him.

            "Well, I already suggested my shower but if you have a better idea, you should name it because I don't really feel like stopping." Jadeite kissed right behind her ear.

            "Okay, fine!" Rei looked around. "I'll be there."

            "I'll give you twenty minutes before I come back and take you even if you're in the middle of the courtyard." Jadeite touched the tip of his index finger to her nose. "By the way, Rei?"

            "Yes?" Rei asked irritated.

            "You're so cute when you're mad!" Jadeite barely dodged Rei hitting him. Rei tried not to think about how she was going to get away from the house.

            "Stupid bastard…" Rei growled as she pulled open the door to where Yuuchirou was making tea.

            "Hey, Rei, I just made a new pot and…" Yuuchirou trailed off as he saw the angry look on her face. Rei quickly tried to explain.

            "Just a really stupid tourist!" Rei waved a hand in the air. "Anyways, I was thinking about running to the grocery store, I don't really feel like dealing with tourists anymore for right now."

            "Okay. We need bread and milk anyways." Yuuchirou supplied helpfully. "Do you want me to come with?"

            "No, aren't you supposed to be cutting wood?" Rei reminded him. "The supply is getting low."

            "Oh yeah." Yuuchirou got up. Rei kissed him on the cheek, a silent apology, and then went to change her clothes and practically running out of the temple. Even though Jadeite didn't always follow through on everything he said he would do, the blond man seemed as though he'd follow through on his threat.

            It didn't take long to reach the hotel. She walked up the stairs and got out on the third floor where she knew Jadeite was staying. She forgot which door was his. Luckily, he poked his head out of the door. He grinned when he saw her, opening his door and giving an extravagant bow with many twirls of his right hand.

            "I said I was going grocery shopping so I can't stay here long." Rei told him seriously.

            "That's okay; I just got sick of jerking off and decided to bring someone in to take over." Jadeite wrapped his arms around her neck and leaning against her, breathing in her scent for a few moments. "So how about that shower?"

            "That sure was romantic." Rei said wryly before sighing a little. "Fine, whatever."

            "Rei?" Jadeite stopped her and turned her around to face him. "Do you really not want to?" Rei looked up into his eyes and knew he wouldn't make her if she said no. But then, she had agreed to come. She wanted to have sex with him again and he knew it.

            "I feel like taking a shower." Rei finally answered before leading the way to bathroom even though she had to guess where it was. Jadeite was right behind her. He closed the door and started to strip down. Rei did the same.

            They went inside the shower, Jadeite turning the water on and making sure it was warm before they did so. Rei started to enjoy the feel of the water flowing down her, purifying her. Jadeite began to touch her arms and kiss along her shoulder. The kissing continued and she felt nothing but his soft lips and the feel of the water. Jadeite moved to be in front of her and Rei's hands ran over his chest, the water making it easier to slide her hands around.

            Jadeite kissed Rei, his hand tangled into her hair. She whimpered as their bodies kept rubbing against each other. Jadeite carefully pushed her up against one of the shower walls and let her hug him and lift her legs to tightly hold them around his hips. Slowly he begun to go in and out as Rei looked up in ecstasy. This is what she wanted to feel. The desire burning in them.

            It didn't take long before they both finished. Jadeite turned off the shower and Rei stepped out, looking for a towel. Jadeite followed her, stopping her search by holding her in his arms.

            "Why do you need one? Are you already leaving?" Jadeite asked with a small smile.

            "I have to go to the grocery store." Rei looked up at him. "You aren't mad at me, not like you were."

            "I wasn't really mad at you." Jadeite went to find a towel for her; they were in a small rack. Rei took a towel and wrapped her hair up in it, then took another to wrap around herself. Jadeite only wrapped one around her waist. "That towel is a good look for you. But…" Jadeite began to try to take her towel off. "I can think of an even better look…"

            "I'm serious, I have to go." Rei pushed his hands away.

            "And I'm serious, let's do it again!" Jadeite exclaimed as if he were a little kid begging his mother to go on a roller coaster again. "Just kidding Rei, just kidding."

            "Oh, how the hell am I'm supposed to explain my hair?" Rei frowned as she looked upwards, not actually seeing her hair.

            "Some kid threw a water balloon at you." Jadeite suggested. "Several kids."

            "That's not actually all that bad…" Rei looked downcast. "I hate lying."

            "Then stay here and keep me company. We can watch TV." Jadeite suggested.

            "No, I really have to go." Rei bit her lip.

            "Okay." Jadeite tried to pout but the end result was that Rei laughed at him. "You'll come back and visit me again, like in two hours?"

            "How about no?" Rei raised her eyebrows before Jadeite suddenly swooped down on her and picked her up.

            "Ah my fair lady, no leaving without a promise. I can take you out to dinner." Jadeite started to list off. "Or if you're really paranoid, the movies. Or better yet we stay here and have lots of fun."

            "I'll think about it." Rei batted away the hands that were trying to get her towel off. "And that's as much as you're getting out of me right now."

            "I'll be patiently waiting. Actually, I'm already getting antsy." Jadeite confessed.

            "Tomorrow night." Rei was lowered to the ground. "Thank you very much Jadeite-san."

            "Whatever." Jadeite rolled his eyes in an almost perfect imitation of her. "Here are your clothes." Rei got dressed and dried her hair, vowing to comb it when she got home.

            "Good-bye Jadeite." Rei waved and he reluctantly said good-bye. She walked quickly out of the hotel; she didn't have too much time before Yuuchirou got worried about where she was.

*                                              *                                              *

            "And to top it off, some stupid little kids threw water balloons at me!" Rei was ranting about her very bad trip to the grocery store. Yuuchirou listened patiently.

            "Wow, today sure isn't your day, is it Rei?" Yuuchirou put a comforting hand over hers.

            "No it wasn't." Rei agreed.

            "I got us reservations for tomorrow night." Yuuchirou told her eagerly. "Is that okay?"

            "Tomorrow night?" Rei blinked and hesitated for only a split second recalling her plans with Jadeite. "Actually the girls and I are having sort of a slumber party in Ami's hotel room."

            "Oh…" Yuuchirou looked downcast. "It's too bad; you could have worn that cute black dress…"

            "The one I wore on our last anniversary?" Rei questioned. She loved that dress but she hadn't worn it in so long. It was Asian cut with the slits up the sides.

            "Yes, that's the one." Yuuchirou put his hands on her hips. "I love that dress."

            "I see, well, maybe some other time." Rei patted his head. "I'm going to go take a nap." Rei went into the bedroom and got the phone, quickly dialing the number for Ami's room.

            "Hello?" Ami answered.

            "It's me." Rei spoke in a low tone so that Yuuchirou didn't hear her on the phone.

            "Oh, hey Rei, what's up?" Ami questioned in a tone that suggested she already knew the subject.

            "Listen, tomorrow night, if Yuuchirou calls here, tell him I'm there and we're all hanging out together." Rei told her.

            "Rei…" Ami's tone suggested a lecture coming on.

            "Please, Ami, just this once?" Rei pleaded.

            "If you could be honest with yourself, you wouldn't find yourself in such a situation. Just because you are a good friend, I will discredit my honesty by telling Yuuchirou if he calls." Ami declared.

            "Thank you." Rei thanked her friend. "We need to all get together for real."

            "We're getting together in a few days at Minako's." Ami told her. "Then the day after that I'm flying back."

            "Sounds good. Bye!" Rei barely waited for Ami to say good bye back before hanging up the phone. There was weight on her from all the lying but…was it really that bad? Something told her that it couldn't keep up. She was about to find out how true that was.

            Er, yeah, well now. Please read and review. I'd write a real author note but I'm feeling terribly rushed today.
