Chapter 1

-------------

It was raining heavily when Makoto got back from her part time job. She heard a knock on her door. When she opened the door she was surprised to see a girl stood in front of her soaking wet.

"Rei-chan?" the tall brunette said while blinking.

Rei glanced up exposing her sad eyes "Can I come in Mako-chan?" she asked.

"Oh! Sure, come on in" Makoto stepped away from the door letting Rei slipped into her apartment.

"Make yourself at home Rei-chan. I'll get you a towel and something to change." Makoto said as she closed the door and marched to her bedroom.

Rei stared blankly at the floor. She didn't realize that Makoto already stood in front of her until Makoto spoke "Here Rei-chan, change your clothes and dry yourself." She handed her a towel and a T-shirt.

"You can change in my room." She pointed her bedroom with her thumb. Rei nodded and went to Makoto's bedroom.

A moment later, Rei walked out wearing an oversized T-shirt and a towel hanging around her shoulder. Makoto patted a space beside her on the couch mentioning her to sit there which was obeyed by the girl.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" She asked with concern reflected in her eyes.

Rei didn't answer her. She simply sat there in complete silence.

Makoto sighed. "I'll make us some tea, okay?"

"Thanks," was the only reply Makoto got from Rei.

'I wonder what happened to her...' Makoto thought while she prepared the tea for them. She came back to the living room with two teacups in her hands.

"Drink this Rei-can…it will make you feel better." She gave one of the teacups to her. Rei took it and placed it in her lap.

"How..." Rei spoke softly almost like a whisper. Makoto looked at her and placed her teacup on the table.

"How...will it make me feel better?" She spoke again in a distant voice.

Makoto placed her finger under Rei's chin and lift it up so they will face each other. "Rei-chan, would you please tell me what's going on?"

"Mako-chan, I...I...you know I love Usagi, right?" she stated nervously.

Makoto nodded and removed her finger "I think the others know it too."

She looked away. "Today I was planning to take a little walk around but then I saw Usagi and Mamoru together...suddenly I felt so jealous of Mamoru... So, I ran away in no apparent direction when it started to rain...and then somehow I ended up at your apartment." She paused "I feel so ashamed Mako-chan." Her voice cracked.

Makoto looked confused "What for?"

"You know people said that if you really love somebody then you should be happy for that person happiness but instead I….I was jealous." Her hands trembling and a sobbing voice soon could be heard.

'So that's the problem.' Makoto said to herself before she took the teacup from her hands and put it on the table. She leaned in and hugged her.

"Listen, who said you can't get jealous? It's normal to get jealous if you see someone you love with other person than you. Being jealous doesn't mean you don't love her truly. Sometimes you can't help it, we are only human. Don't be ashamed, nobody is perfect Rei…"

With that Rei began weeping on Makoto's chest. 'Crap! Now she cries for real. This is going to be tough.' Makoto mumbled in her mind while stroking her back softly.

After several minutes of crying, Rei stopped and pulled away "Gomen ne, I messed up your shirt." She said with a faint smile.

Makoto looked at her shirt then back to Rei. "Don't mind it," her index finger reaching out to wiped the remaining tears on the other girl's face "Feeling better?" Makoto smiled warmly.

A simple yet gentle affection managed to make the miko blushing. She of course knew that beneath her strong figure Makoto was such a caring person but she never imagined she would experience it like this.

"Yeah." Rei smiled.

"I'm glad. How about we drink our tea? It's getting cold."

"My, I almost forgot about it." Both of them laughed.

The girls spent their time talking until the rain stopped. "I think I better go home now...it's getting late and the rain has stopped." Rei said.

"Hai, but let me walk you back to the shrine." Makoto insisted.

"Okay."

They both stood up and Rei gave the towel back to Makoto, who tossed it into her laundry basket. She grabbed her jacket and walked to the front door where Rei was already waiting.

"Shall we go then?" Makoto asked.

"Hai." Rei answered.

On the way back to the shrine they didn't talk much. They stopped at the bottom stairs of the shrine. Rei turned her head around to Makoto "Arigatou Mako-chan... For everything."

"No problem Rei-chan. Anytime you need someone to talk to, you know where to find me." She winked to Rei.

Rei only smiled. "I'll return your T-shirt tomorrow at study session, see ya!" she waved before climbed up the stairs.

Makoto eyes never left Rei until she disappeared into the shrine. She placed a hand on her forehead. 'Kami-sama, this is definitely going to be tough,' she huffed and heading back to her apartment.

This is how it all begins...
