Unlikely Obsession-------------Chapter 11
Quartz finally gets of the floor and dusts himself off. That blast by Rubius caught him totally off guard. "If he thinks that I'm going to stand for this type of treatment, then he's got another thing coming." He was finished fixing himself so that he looked as clean as he was before the blast. Just then, Rubius called for him.
"Ah, there you are, Quartz. I hope I didn't hurt you," said a rather insincere Rubius.
"Not at all, what is it that you would like?"
"It is time to commence our plan, you know how it is to go, stick to what you have to do and collect your payment from there. If you even come near Rei, you will regret it."
"Regret it?" Quartz found himself rather curious as to what would be in store for him if he messed with Rubius' woman.
"Let's just say there would be no need for you to even collect your payment. And remember that the Senshi should not know that you work for me. You are just a distraction so that Rei can dedicate all her energy and love on me. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, you know that Damien punk? Eliminate him."
With those parting words, Quartz disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The Senshi lessened their security around Rei. There had been no Rubius sightings recently and they were starting to believe he finally gave up. Quartz was also a no show, relieving the stressed out team even more. Haruka was no longer out for blood and Michiru was happy to see that she was fairly back to normal. Usagi, Mamoru, Chibiusa, Ami, Makoto, and Minako came around the Shrine not to patrol the vicinity, but to hang out, like they used to before Rubius and Quartz disrupted the peace. Hotaru, on the other hand, could not flush her feelings of suspicion so easily. 'Something is looming over the horizon, I feel it.'
Back at the Shrine, various days had passed since Rei's date with Damien. He had been coming to the Shrine ever since that night and they were becoming closer as the days passed. Damien had disclosed to Rei his darkest secrets, those secrets that only the most intimate of friends ever disclosed. Rei, in turn, did her own share of revealing. She had told Damien of her many beaux, and all of the heartbreak they had exposed her to. She had revealed her relationship with Mamoru, before Usagi and him had discovered that they loved each other. Yet, she still kept her darkest secret (that she was a Senshi) from him, fearing that it would somehow scare him away. Was it true, undying love? No, just the love of a sister toward a brother. However, for Damien it was more than love; it was a feeling he could not contain. For Damien, it was a love written in the stars. He knew that what Rei felt towards him was not true love, but was still willing to fight for her love nonetheless.
For the past couple of nights, Damien had been receiving really strange dreams, and today he would tell Rei about them.
Rei was now sweeping the Shrine steps, even though the steps were immaculate. She saw Damien approach her.
"Hey Damien? What's up, I was expecting you."
"Really? Why?"
"Duh, you come here every single day!" They shared a laugh, however Damien was distant.
"What's wrong?" Rei was concerned. Damien did say that he had to tell her something. Damien led her to a bench under a Sakura tree. Rei sat down, anxious as to what was on Damien's mind. He began.
"I've been having these weird dreams lately, and I think you might be in them. You see, I dreamed that I was in this humongous palace; there was ball. I think you were a princess, because you had on a red gown and a crown. I was there, too, but I had a different role; I was you guard. I had on the whole garb, you know, the armor, cape, and sword by my side type of thing. When the ball ended and you were in your suite, I joined you."
Rei by now had turned crimson. 'Could he had lived during the Silver Millennium? Why don't I remember?'
Damien went on. "Then chaos ensues. Windows shattered and you ran away somewhere. The next thing I know, I'm fighting these monster things and I die, never knowing where you went." After a long silence he finally said, "So where did you go, Princess Rei of Mars? As a Martian Royal Guard, I should know how fared my ward and lover."
A/N: Okay that's it for now. I left you guys with a cliffie, sorry, couldn't help it. REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW!!!!!
