So I'm back again. But with less reviews than I thought I would get. Hmmm. But anyways I would like to thank the people that did review. Jedite'sflame, and Firenze . Also if you want a disclaimer look at the first chapter.
I was happy to know that this little situation with Jadeite wouldn't last very long and, I knew that Setsuna would get on top of it, no problem. It even boosted up my spirits to know that my life would go back to normal. Even if I did have a little bit of feelings for the ex-bad guy, (come on he's hot) it didn't mean I wanted to date him or even have a relationship with him. It was just a little infatuation that would go away when he left. I was ready to tell the girls the good news.
-------------------------------
"…And then she said that she would find out what was happening in just a few weeks." I finished with a smile. The girls and myself had decided to have a sleepover at Usagi's house. That was because Usagi's little brother was going to spend the night at his friend's house. It was one of the few times their meeting Usagi-chan's house was peaceful. Even Luna wasn't there to nag at them for eating so much junk food (specifically Usagi). She was in Austria on a vacation with Artemis.
"Rei, don't you think it'll be a little scary, the thought that this man who tried to kill you is living in your house. I honestly don't like the fact that he is back in the first place. Don't you think it's kind of odd that out of all of the people in the world, Jadeite was one of the people that returned, and he happens to be at your place right now." I did think that this was odd, but a lot of things that seemed like accidents always happened to us. It was like whatever we did; we kept on running into danger. But for some reason, this time I didn't think it was danger looking for us.
"Well, Usagi, let me explain, if you haven't noticed for the past few years we have been fighting bad guys, usually at places where we least expect them. In fact, we seemed to be running into danger wherever we went. How is that different from now?" I smiled as she bit her lip, it's not everyday that you got Usagi to think. "I know that, Rei, but why do we have to be picked on now? I thought we were done with Jadeite. I'm angry at the fact that Setsuna didn't warn us before he got there." The girls just looked at her oddly. It was Makoto that said the most obvious question to her and Minako. "Who's Jadeite?"
--------------------------
I woke up sweating from that dream again. The dream that said everything was going to change. For better or for worse I couldn't tell. I just kept on seeing her eyes. Those purple glowing orbs staring at me as I walked through Tokyo.
I decided to get a glass of water. That should at least help me with sleeping tonight, I thought. I pushed open the sliding door and stepped out of my room. Ah, fresh air. My room was getting stuffy from all of that heat. As I walked down to the kitchen I suddenly gasped. Thoughts and feelings of something that I vaguely recognized swept across my mind. That girl, Rei, was there. She smiled at me as she was talking to some girls that I also recognized, one with blue hair and the other with blonde dumplings on her head. Then the scene switched and I saw Rei, only she was in a sailor fuku. She had flames surrounding her and some were flying towards me. She was a fighter, I remembered. Her and her friends, they were called Sailor Senshi. How could I have forgotten? The vision stopped. I suddenly decided to go back to bed.
--------------------------
After I explained to Minako and Makoto about Jadeite we decided to play a board game. It was an American one that Mamoru said was fun. We bought one in Japanese so that we could at least understand the directions.
"Monopoly?" Minako asked. We were looking at Usagi to explain what it was about. Even I was curious as to see this game from the United States.
"Well I guess it's like a real estate game, you try to own as much land as you can, so you can make everyone else loose all of their money." That sounded simple enough. Ami looked as if she were in heaven, the first thing that popped out of her mouth was, "I believe this game has a lot to do with math, I already like it." Usagi made a face. "Well, it says here someone needs to be the banker, the person that controls all the money in this box here," she said, pointing, " Ami-chan I think you'd like this job." Ami nodded quickly.
"Minako can you be the property manager, all you have to do is give the person that is buying the property the right card so that they know what property they own and how much they charge you for landing on it." Minako smiled brightly looking at the orange and yellow cards,
"You mean those?" She said, pointing to the said cards.
"Umm, Rei-chan, maybe you should do the property management, and the cards are the ones with different colors at the tops of them." I just nodded, knowing how making Mina-chan in charge of something can screw anything up.
--------------
Five hours later Ami held all of the cards and money at her knees. Everyone, including myself, was glaring at her. It was midnight so we all decided to go to bed, and slowly we drifted off to sleep.
The rain was falling in a hurried rush to the ground, the lightening struck in the distance, creating luminous light on the distant Mount Fuji. I was looking out the window; salty tears fell down my reddened cheeks. He was leaving again. This time he was leaving by his own choice. I thought he cared for me, loved me even. I was wrong. I would never see him again. I would fall apart, like an old sodden rag doll. I would--
I woke up drenched in cold sweat, that dream, or was it nightmare, was much too real. Who was this man I was taking about. Who was it?
The next day, the girls and I decided to spend some time by ourselves. We needed to let everything that was happening sink in. Ami was going to read about Calculus or solve puzzles, I couldn't tell which. Usagi was going to the park to relax her mind and not worry about anything, but I really think she wanted to see Mamoru. Makoto was going to cook, specifically for Usagi, whom she was going to meet up later with. And lastly Minako was going to go to the mall, where she would be for the next five hours trying on the latest sunglasses. I didn't know what I was going to do. Maybe do a fire reading… yeah, that's it. I would do a fire reading.
Fifteen minutes later I walked into the priestess's dressing room. I put on my priestess robes and slipped into the meditation room. I immediately felt the call of the fire and the spirits of my ancestors surrounding it. I let my mind melt away as the fire burned.
Spirits, I need your help. A person from my past has returned to me. I don't know what to do. To make matters worse, I have been having strange dreams, almost prophetic. What should I do?
I waited, my mind open to my spirit and only my spirit. I felt something touch me and thought it was the oncoming of an answer from the spirits. But when I heard a voice my heart sank, and making me close to angry.
"Rei?"
