YES MY COMPUTER IS FIXED!!!! THANK YOU OH MIGHTY COMPUTER GODS!!! Well,
since I felt so bad about not updating for so long. I decided to add a
chapter to every story I have tonight. So here's your treat! Enjoy! ;)
"Well, you know what you have to do." Ami calmly listened to Rei's confession. She knew about her feelings for Mamoru, but she had no idea that Mamoru would turn against Serena like that.
"I CAN'T TELL HER!"
"Oh no don't do that. Rei. you should. no. you shouldn't. oh god, for once I don't know what to do." Ami smiled at her gently. Rei felt like dying. Then she turned deadly calm.
"I know what I have to do." She whispered to herself softly so Ami wouldn't hear. After they talked a little while longer, Rei went home to confide with The Great Fire. "How can I prevent this destruction?" She asked. The answer which she got confirmed hers. She nodded, brushing away tears, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, and closing her eyes.
-a week later-
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SHE'S 'GONE'?" Mamoru roared. Serena looked into the blazing fire, her eyes red from crying.
"It's true." She whispered.
"I can't believe this. I just cannot believe this. HOW could she do this to me? To you! To the whole damn senshi group! How the hell are we supposed to fight without her?" Mamoru paced back and forth across the rug. His shadow flickered behind him. Serena just shook her head, closing her eyes, a tear running down her cheek.
"Why..why." Serena whispered. She choked out a sob. Mamoru continued pacing, then stopped, and glared and yelled at her to release his anger.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, JUST CRYING AND SOBBING THERE? FOR GODS SAKES, DO SOMETHING! DON'T YOU HAVE THE POWER TO SUMMON HER OR SOMETHING?"
"I used to." Serena whispered, and then smiled slightly. "She cut herself off from me. Weren't you. didn't you have that connection that you could speak into her mind..?"
"I'm been yelling into hers for the last twenty four hours. God, she must have cut herself off from me too. Shit. Is she capable of doing that?"
"If she has, she's become just as powerful as me." Serena looked back into the fire. Mamoru paused. He remembered seeing Rei in her princess form. meaning she was as powerful as Serena. Then he remembered their night together, and.
"Oh god." He closed his eyes, his hands clenched so tightly blood ran down them, unnoticed by him. Serena, however, did notice.
"Mamoru, stop!" She ran to him, and slapped him. "How DARE you try to solve this by self-inflicting yourself! How dare you, you. you pig!" She punched his chest repeatedly, and finally Mamoru stopped. Serena continued a lot calmer. "We need to think this out. We need to find her. We need her. I do. We all do." She slowly started bandaging his hand with her handkerchief. 'I do, more than any of you.' Mamoru thought sadly, realizing it was because of him that she left. Suddenly the rest of the senshi group came rushing in.
"WE FOUND A LETTER FROM REI!"
"What?" Mamoru and Serena turned simultaneously. Serena reached out to grab the letter from their fingers, but Mamoru was quicker. He grabbed it and read it quickly. 'Impressive,' He thought. 'They'll believe it, all of them. Except me.' He sadly handed it to Serena. She looked through it with shaking hands and nearly dropped it. Ami took it gently from her fingers, cleared her throat, and read aloud.
My friends, I don't know how to start, or what to say at all, for that matter. I need to be away. I've been having reoccurring dreams and nightmares related to being a senshi- don't worry, none of them are visions, but I need to have time to myself for a while. I feel so constricted and suffocated with all the responsibility I have. As for my duty to you senshi, if I have any visions relating to any of you of any importance, I will send you a letter. I will not, however, leave a returning address. It is for the better that you don't know where I am. I.just.need.time.to think. To fully understand and finally accept my duty as a senshi. Minako went through this phase, and even though she didn't leave, I think it would be faster, and a lot safer, if I went through this alone. As for fighting with the rest of you, I will be fighting senshi through my healing process, but not with the rest of you. I assure you I am fully capable of defending myself. As Ami if you disagree- we have been training a lot more heavily than the rest of you these past few years. I beg you to understand my position and how hard it is for me to do this, but I must. If I don't accept my duty as a senshi now, I never will. And postponing this would surely lead to havoc.
Please understand, Rei
(P.S. I assure you I won't be gone for more than three years. I will return. I just hope you will accept me.)
Ami's voice was shaking as she finished. All the rest of the senshi looked to her.
"Is it true, she is as powerful as she says?"
"Yes." Ami sighed. "Yes, she definitely can handle at least fifty of our hardest opponents alone, I assure you that. She's. so very powerful.and.god.I." Ami started crying. Makoto walked up to her and wrapped her arms around the sobbing, usually always under control Ami.
"It's ok. Everything is going to be alright. But tell me, how did she get to become so strong?"
"We were training by ourselves after hours to increase our strength. All of you know that many of my attacks are weak compared, and many times monsters are immune to Rei's fire for some odd reason. We went past that barrier. She is. most probably just as, or more powerful than our princess herself."
"She reached the princess form?" Serena interrupted.
"Yes. And I did as well." Ami blushed and looked towards the floor. "We felt a need to become stronger. We didn't want to bring all of you guys into it. we had no idea it would be so effective though." She talked softly.
"We have to find her." Serena said suddenly.
"No. You will not find her." Minako finally spoke, her voice loud and clear. "I'm the only one who has gone through this stage before. I understand what she's going through and I won't allow you to put our group into trouble by disrupting her healing period so that she will never heal. Let her heal, and let her come on her own. I'm sure that a little extra training shouldn't hurt all of us. Why are you guys so selfish? Why aren't you thinking about Rei? We will still be able to fight without her! We'll just have to be more careful." She nodded fiercely. "I'm going to go train right now. If any of you guys are a true friend of Rei's, then follow me."
Everyone except Serena followed her.
"Well, you know what you have to do." Ami calmly listened to Rei's confession. She knew about her feelings for Mamoru, but she had no idea that Mamoru would turn against Serena like that.
"I CAN'T TELL HER!"
"Oh no don't do that. Rei. you should. no. you shouldn't. oh god, for once I don't know what to do." Ami smiled at her gently. Rei felt like dying. Then she turned deadly calm.
