Thanks, again, to all the reviewers. I'm glad that people really enjoy my
story. I'm trying my best to get these chapters out quicker, but stuff
gets in the way.

Unlikely Obsession------------------------Chapter 10
Rei looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing the outfit Minako picked out for her just a half and hour before. Now, she was nervously brushing her hair with long, even strokes. Rei was wearing a spaghetti strap dress that reached her knees. She had on red strappy shoes, to match with the color of her dress. Minako had said something like, "simple, yet elegant."
It had been a while since Rei had been on a date, she didn't necessarily had the time to enjoy herself, seeing that being a Senshi took up most her time. Moments later, there came a knock on her door.
"Come in!" Rei said. It was her ojjisan, with a broad smile on his face.
"That boy is here, you better not keep him waiting," he replied
Rei left her room to meet Damien. He was standing by the front door when he looked up. He took a sharp intake of breath when he saw Rei. 'She's absolutely beautiful.' Rei noticed the attention, and looked down with a blush on her face. 'He looks handsome tonight, even more so than what I imagined.'
Damien finally managed to put his thoughts in to words and croaked, "You look beautiful, I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you in all my life."
"Thank You," Rei whispered, trying to keep the red from reaching her face.
The couple exited the Shrine and made their way down the long steps in silence. When they finally reached the bottom, Damien led Rei to his car: a sleek, black Jaguar. Rei's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. 'It's safe to say that he's loaded!' she thought. Damien opened the door for her and waited until she was safely inside to step inside himself. The date had begun.
**** ***** ******
"You think Rei's safe with that guy?" Questioned Makoto from the bush in which she and the rest of the Senshi were hiding, minus Chibiusa, Hotaru, and Mamoru.
"Of course she is, I feel like we could trust him. I feel like I've met him before," answered Usagi.
"Whatever, we still have to follow them because Rubius more than likely knows about their little get together, a man obsessed usually knows each steps his victim takes," added Ami. The team nodded their approval and made their way the car waiting for them at the bottom of the steps.
**** ***** ******
The sound of Rei's laughter echoed throughout the restaurant. She was really enjoying herself with Damien. Despite his stern decorum, Damien was really funny and witty, in a sarcastic kind of way. He, of course, didn't know why she was laughing, since all he was saying was the truth, but delighted in hearing her laughter nonetheless.
"So what's this I hear about monsters at the Shrine?" Inquired Damien.
"Oh, the monsters. Well, monsters attack us all the time. Everyone in the area is used to it. However, whenever we do get attacked the Senshi help us."
"Okay, I know your name, where you used to live, and that you like ancient architecture, namely Shrines. Other than that, I know nothing about you, not even the basic things," Rei said, desperately trying to change the subject and interested in getting to know Damien better.
"If you have questions, just ask them," replied Damien.
"How about I start off with stupid questions and work my way up?" Rei said this with a giggle so cute, it made him smile.
"Sure, shoot."
"What's your favorite color?"
"Black."
"What type of music do you most listen to?"
"Rock."
"What size shoe do you wear?"
"Nine and a half."
"Do you like me a much as I like you?"
"More than you think." At that, Damien reached across the table and placed his hand over hers. Rei just stared into his eyes, as a feeling of recognition washed over her. He did the same, never blinking.
Damien broke the intense eye contact and looked away. "So, when can I start asking the questions.."
**** ***** ******
"I enjoyed dinner a lot, thank you," commented Rei, as she and Damien strolled through a park. They were holding each other's hands, making small talk, and feeling comfortable in each other's presence. The park was fairly empty, save for a casual passerby and homeless person. Suddenly, a drunken hobo pops out of nowhere and bumps into the couple, making them release their hands. The man turns towards Rei and says with slurred tongue, "Hey, there cutey, how's about you shake that thing my way!"
Rei was about to say something when she noticed the man's RED eyes and the not-so-clever wig, with RED hair sprouting out underneath. Then, the drunken man, who Rei had discovered to be a not so well disguised Rubius, tried to grab her. Damien pushed Rubius away as he noticed that the man was about to touch Rei. Rubius glared daggers at him from the floor
"Don't you dare try to touch her," Damien spat venomously.
Rei tried to pacify things between the two, not wanting an altercation in the park at night. There was no knowing what Rubius might do to Damien if he revealed himself to him. Rei pulled Damien, grasping his arm. "Leave him alone, he's just drunk, he's a nobody, let's just go." Rei stressed the word "nobody," letting Rubius know that was what he was to her. Damien quietly agreed, never keeping his eyes off of Rubius, just in case he were to strike.
With that, Rei and Damien left while Rubius was on the floor fuming. At least he fulfilled his objective, which was to at least put a damper on the date. He smiled when he recalled Rei trying calm them down. As far as he knew, Rei was truly trying to protect him, not wanting him to waste his time on such a low life. Rubius quickly stood up and dusted off his pants, once again smirking as he saw his goddess, Rei, and the scum, Damien, walk towards the Shrine, hands at their sides, trotting along in silence.
**** ***** ******
Damien was furious. There he was in a romantic setting, with the girl of his dreams, and a drunken hobo interrupts him. He would have seriously hurt the man if Rei had not stopped him. However, he was also somewhat fearful, hoping that the scene did not affect how Rei viewed him.
Rei was confused. 'How could that idiot, do this to me! Oh, right, he's a lunatic. I wish he wasn't' (what?!) 'Damien must hate me; he hasn't talked to me since the incident. It ruined our date, I better say something'
"I'm sorry about that guy, he ruined our date just when we were getting to know more about each other." 'And get into the deeper questions,' Rei thought.
"It's not your fault, you had no idea he was going to pop up."
"Yeah, right," said Rei rather nervously.
They had finally reached the Shrine; Damien's car was parked in front. He had left it there when they finished dinner. It was Rei's idea they go for a stroll in the park, her way of cornering him into answering the deep questions without using only one word.
The Senshi had decided to leave the couple by themselves for the stroll in the park. They hadn't seen anything suspicious at he restaurant and thought Rubius knew nothing about the date. Usagi felt bad for spying, since it was the first time in a long time that Rei went out on a date. She had ordered the Senshi to leave Rei alone, that Rei would know what to do if Rubius was to strike.
Now, the Senshi were back at the Shrine, awaiting Rei's arrival. Minako was peaking through a window, trying to see if she spotted Rei. Haruka was pacing back and forth; worried that something had happened when they weren't looking.
Damien and Rei stood face to face in front of the Shrine. Damien reached out and grabbed Rei's hand and said, "I want to get to know more about you, personally. Do you want to do this again sometime?"
Rei nodded. Damien leaned in for a kiss, he was so close, Rei felt his breath on her lips, but she turned away and he kissed her cheek instead. Damien drew in a breath. "Well, goodbye, then Rei." He held on to her hand a few seconds longer before turning to go. She wanted to say something, anything.
"Call me." At that, Damien turned around and smiled, all hope returned.
"Sure."
**** ***** ******
Rubius was reclining in a comfy armchair with a glass of wine, when he saw Damien kiss Rei. The glass shattered in his hand since he was gripping it so tightly. He was a little comforted by the fact that Rei turned away and it wasn't a full-blown kiss on the lips.
"You know, my lovely, this means war. Now my plan really begins."
