Sorry, sorry, sorry I haven't updated in so long! I've been so busy! But,
speaking of stories, I posted a little fluff to clear my brain of the fog
its been in. I expected more reviews. Not trying to be arrogant or
anything, but, since the whole story is a SPOILER to how I am going to end
this story, I figured that you guys would like to read it.
Anyway, here is chapter six. Now, for all you Kaidou fans (though I doubt there are many), I have nothing against him. Just letting you know from the start that he is not going to be a nice character. At first, it was going to be Chad, because I couldn't think of anyone in Rei's past, until I remembered Kaidou.
Okay, that's about all for now. Thanks for reviewing! Hope you enjoy the chapter!
Chapter Six Winds of Betrayal PG-13
Rei gasped as she saw the dark, masculine figure coming towards her. All of her body went instantly on alert, or, possibly on alert. Rei hadn't quite figured out yet if she was in her body or not. Still, she waited warily as the figure got closer.
"Who are you!?" Rei called out, all ready annoyed with whoever it was.
A low, malicious chuckle rang in the air, a very familiar chuckle, "You know me, Enyalios." Her eyes widened and everything inside her froze when she heard the voice.
"Kaidou?"
He clapped merrily, laughing again, "Marvelous! She does have a brain! What a wonder!"
Rei growled at him, "What are you doing here, Kaidou?"
"Where is here? Where is there? Where are you actually, my little Enyalios?"
"Don't speak to me in riddles!" She snapped, "I am the Crown Princess of Mars and inasmuch can blast you to Hell without worrying about the consequences! You will answer my question, now!"
He sighed in mock-exasperation, "Always the impatient one, weren't you, Princess." He put special emphasis on her title.
"Kaidou, I am not in the most peachiest of moods! I want answers!"
"Don't we all? Where do you think you are, little Princess?" He said calmly, though there was still a trace of a sneer in his rich voice.
"I don't know."
"Don't you? Well, for a psychic, I thought you would be much better than that. Apparently not."
"I grow tired of your tattering, Kaidou," Rei said in a falsely sweet voice, as fire roared through her.
Holding up his hands, the blond man said, "Peace, peace, Enya. I am not here to quarrel. Though it pleases me to pain you, there is not much I can do. You are, at this current moment, in between your conscious, and your subconscious. Not quite awake, but not yet asleep. You are where your memories live, little Princess, hence my presence. What do you remember last?"
Trying to soak it all in, she said, "Beryl." very softly.
He grimaced and nodded. Rei knew that though they each hated the other passionately, they would rather kill Beryl if given the chance, or stand up and try to protect the other.
"I figured the witch had done this. She is, after all, the only one with enough power to do such a thing. Unfortunately, I am a mere shade of a memory, not real, yet not fake. I can do nothing. But know this, just because I am your memory does not mean I have memories of my own."
"Your still riddling," Rei snapped.
"Don't be childish, Rei, and think with your intellect, for once, instead of your passion! What has been the one thing that Beryl has always wanted?"
"Power."
"And how do you think she got this power?" He probed further.
This question caught her. She had never known how Beryl got her evil power, just that she had it. "But, that doesn't make any sense with you saying you have memories!"
He rolled his eyes, "By the Lady, you are so thick! How did you become a Senshi? No, don't glare at me like that. Not like you can do anything to me, I'll always be here."
"And we remember how you got there," came the dangerous reply.
Waving a hand negligently, he pushed on, "What the real Kaidou knows, so do I, his shade."
Catching on, Rei sucked in a deep breath, "So, you're saying that Kaidou knew a great deal about Beryl, information that I don't."
He nodded, "Exactly. And I am not the only shade in your memory, for you have met thousands of people that you can call upon in meditation to look through."
"I never knew I could do this." Rei whispered.
Smiling smugly, he nodded, "That's because your parents ordered it so."
Her head shot up and she glared at him, "Don't-oh!"
Pain ripped through her for the second time, bowing her down to what she thought was the ground. Kaidou looked at her with hardly any sympathy, though he did look a little bit wary of what was going on. Speaking of which, what was going on?
"Kaidou! What's happening?" Rei growled through her clenched teeth.
"Other memories are fighting to claim control over you, Princess. I have been with you too long. Besides, even if you did contact us through meditation, you would have to go through every single memory of the time you spent with that person until you reached the actual shade. So, while it would be good use, I recommend you not call me anymore. You still remember how I triumphed over you," he said arrogantly.
"Bastard!" She screamed, trying to fight the pain. But it was a losing battle. Rei was lost to the storm of her subconscious.

Ami stayed close by to Rei as she went into convulsions once more. It had been five days since the scrying incident, and she showed no sign of waking, periodically going into the convulsion she was currently in. Ami's heart bled for her, watching all the time as the pain and shadows crossed her friend's face.
Minako and Serenity had never had any problem making friends. Nobody disliked them, they were always so happy, it was hard to, minus Beryl. Makoto, while finding it a bit more difficult on other planets to find people not intimidated by her, still had very little trouble with fining friends. But Ami and Rei had been alone for most of their lives. Everybody on Mercury, while respecting that she was the Princess and giving her due reverence, thought she was too much of a bookworm, even for a Mercurial, and didn't like talking to her much. Her parents were cold and distant, but she knew they loved her, somewhat. However, Rei wasn't so lucky.
She knew very well that Rei's parents disliked their daughter, especially her father. For what reason, none of the girls could guess, and Rei had stopped trying after a while to find out why. It pained them all to see the way she was treated on her planet. And her people didn't much like her either, finding her much too odd, even for a Martian. And Ami was the only one aware of what happened to Rei at the hands of a certain man four years ago. Not even Serenity knew about it!
Because of their family situations, Ami and Rei had a special bond, sister's in their awful past. Ami was always the one Rei ever confided her deepest darkest secrets, and vice-versa.
And now, it looked as if she might never wake up.
Kinda short chapter, I'm sorry! But I've been really busy! Hoped you liked the chapter! Review! Oh, and don't forget, if you want a spoiler to this story, read 'When You Say Nothing At All'! Love always, ^_^V Sparky
