Unlikely Obsession-----------------------Chapter 7



AT REI'S PLACE.

Rei and Damien walked side by side. Rei explained the Shrine's origin and what inspired the type of architecture. Damien was all ears, listening attentively to all Rei had to say, enjoying her company immensely.

'How can these feelings be so active when I only met the chick? I'm leaving in a couple of weeks so I can't be feeling this way.but she's so beautiful,' thought Damien.

'Why is this guy growing on me? I feel like Mina and Mako! Pull yourself together Rei,' Rei thought.

They were still strolling when Minako and Makoto popped in. "Hi you two, we only came to say goodbye and to remind you, Rei, of that thing tomorrow wink, wink" (Tomorrow's the date with the Three Sisters and Saffire.) The two girls left with hearts in their eye like whenever they meet a cute guy. Damien and Rei were left in the middle of the thousands of casablancas and butterflies. (Romantic atmosphere, ne?)

"Thanks for the tour, I had fun. By the way, since I'm in a few weeks, would you like to have dinner with me? I wanted to know more about you and your experiences here.I've heard that there have been monster attacks up here," asked Damien eagerly, even though in his face you could find no trace of it.

Rei was taken by surprise. To her, Damien seemed like a serious person despite what he did at the beginning of their tour. "Is Friday good?" She couldn't believe she said that. 'What did I just do! If Rubius finds out, he'll kill him! What! Why do I care what Rubius thinks! I really need to get my thoughts in order.'

With that, Damien left, leaving Rei by herself.

Rubius was fuming. "That bastard! I should really punish him for setting his eyes on my woman! Who does he think he is?"

Rei was sitting in her favorite spot, watching the butterflies flitter by. Could you believe the flowers and butterflies were even in her favorite space? 'The night seems so serene. It's actually peaceful!'

Suddenly, before her eyes, the flowers were burnt to cinders along with the butterflies. She could have cried if it weren't for the presence she felt behind her.

"What the hell was that?! I thought we meant something to each other! Wasn't my gift enough for you? Instead this insignificant creature comes along and tries to steal you from me. I don't blame you.I blame the human; he doesn't deserve your love. Tell that guy that you already have a man. He better stay away from you or I'll have to step in and show him who really owns your heart!" Rubius said this with tears in his eyes.

Rei could have felt sorry for him, if his intentions weren't so evil. He scared her with his words, yet there was something sincere within them. She stood there examining him. 'Should I call the Senshi? I mean, he's here and everything.it would be an easy catch.'

Just then, Rubius took a step closer. She was too deep within her thoughts to notice, and in an instant, he held her in his embrace. She tried to wrench free, but he was too strong. She stopped fighting. Rei noted that Rubius was only holding her and nothing more. Before she could stop herself, her arms wrapped around him also. Rubius stroked her hair and Rei allowed him to.

'What am I doing? He smells so good.like a man should smell,' Rei thought.

'She's giving in! Her hair is so soft and smells so good! I knew she felt the same way,' Rubius thought. 'I think I'm going to have to move up my plans.'

By the time Rei noticed, Rubius was gone and she was left hugging the wind.

"QUARTZ, GET OVER HERE!" yelled Rubius.

"You summoned me, master?" asked Quartz.

"It's time to put the plan into action. There's someone else interested in my love. So now is the time to destroy the Senshi and someone extra. Right now the planets are beginning to align. In one month, Mars will be completely aligned with the moon and earth, this is when my powers will be at its peak and I would have made Rei my queen."

**** ***** ****** NEXT DAY. (Thursday)

The Senshi met Rei at the shrine. Haruka noticed the absence of flowers and butterflies and asked, "What happened to all the casablancas and insects?"

"Rubius was here last night," answered Rei.

"What! And you didn't call us!" screeched Usagi.

"That was really irresponsible of you, Rei. You could've gotten hurt," chastised Ami.

"Yeah, I know, but there was no need for that. He noticed Damien and got jealous. He burned the flowers and the insects."

"You could have called, Pyro. I don't like that guy one bit," added Haruka.

"Listen guys, we should get going; can we not talk about this until we get to the Sisters' place?"

The Senshi all descended the steps, leaving behind Ojjisan screaming, "We have been cursed!"
