The Secret Is Out
Chapter 4 "Rei's Story"
Still don't own Sailor Moon. Oh well.
I was so happy that I had so many reviews for the last chapter thank you all for taking the time to write one.
Kellybug: Your Bird-Hunt story was one of the first stories I read when I found this site. I am really glad you like the story so far. I hope you enjoy Rei's story.
Princess Niobe: Thanks. The reason Ami was sleeping late is that she was tired. All the late night fighting and studying to stay ahead 20 chapters can take a lot out of anyone.
Seiyaferret: Like the name. I just thought that Ami had too many shocks thrown at her and it was just too much for our lil genius.
BenRg: There will be more of Ami and her mom. As for Lita you will have to wait 2 more chapters after this one to see what happens. I think it will be easier to give each girl their own chapter. This is all about Rei.
Tamara: Thanks. I need all the luck I can get.
Makoto-18: Glad you liked it and thank you.
One last thanks and then I'll get on with the story I promise. This one is for Erin thank you for listening to all of my crazy ideas. It's because of Erin that I 'm going to be writing 2 chapters this week-end. Last time I make a deal with you sis.
Oh well hope you all enjoy and if you can please review and I'll thank you in the next chapter.

Rei's Story:
When people walked past the temple most would not venture up the stairs. All the talk and murmurs had given it a bad reputation. The two that worked and lived there were the object of ridicule, and name calling most of which they did not deserve. The grandfather who ran the temple was laughed at for his flirtatious manner. Some had even labeled him a senile old man who loved chasing after young ladies. All of this did not bother him for as long as they were making fun of him then they would leave his granddaughter alone. His granddaughter was his world, and it hurt him to hear the names they would call her.
He still remembered the anger he felt the day his only son brought her to him. He dropped her off at the temple saying that there was no way he could continue to care for a freak. What had really angered him was the fact that he had said it in front of Rei. It was the last time either would see him again. Rei was only 4 years old. Over the years he helped her control her psychic powers. He was amazed at how strong her gift was for one so young. The one thing he could not help heal was her heart. The words her father had said were branded in her mind and heart.
When it was time to go to school everything seemed to go well. She had made some friends, and it seemed that all was going to all right. Until one day when Rei was in school. The class was taking a test when she grabbed her head and screamed. The teacher ran to her as fell on the floor in pain.
"NO!!!! No, daddy doesn't die!" she screamed out in pain a bright red light surrounded her before she passed out. When she woke up she was in the nurse's office and her grandfather was sitting next to her. A worried look on his face as he held her hand he seemed to have aged since the morning.
"Grandpa what happened? "She asked scared her head hurt and she felt empty inside.
"Rei you passed out in class. Can you remember what happen?" he asked not able to look her in the eyes.
"I just remember feeling a sharp pain in my head then."she trailed off as tears filled her eyes
"Yes, then what happened" he encouraged to go on
"Then I saw daddy and I think he died cause there was all this fire around him. Then everything went black, but it was just a nightmare right." She asked crying hoping that it was only a bad dream.
"Oh, Rei, I'm sorry. I had just received a call before the school called the Embassy your father was at was bombed. There were no survivors." He said in a tired voice as he gathered into her into his arms and held her as they both cried.
They both went home to the temple both quite both lost in their own grief. Rei had lost a father who never loved her the way he should have and she felt that it was her fault. If she had been a better daughter then she would have been together. Once they where home she ran to her room and cried herself to sleep. Her grandfather gave her the peace she needed. When he went to check on her later he found her sleeping and the symbol of Mars on her forehead. That was the day he decided to teach her how to sense evil, use charms, and the most importantly how to do fire readings. Knowing one day that Sailor Mars would be needed again.
The present:
The phone rang as grandpa Hino was getting ready for the day.
"Hello Shinto Temple "he answered the phone knowing that this day was coming.
"Hello Mr. Hino. This Irene Tsukino I believe you know my daughter Serena."
"Yes. I know her I believe she is also Sailor Moon and that this is to work out a time to get together." He said knowing that he had shocked her after all he was a senile old man.
"Yes, I'm hoping to get all the parent's together at my house this afternoon. I feel we have much to talk about."
"Yes I agree, and Rei and I will be there I promise."
"I must admit I am surprise at how you are taking this Mr. Hino." She could hear him laugh in the background
"It's all an act. One that is about to end today." He said looking a his granddaughter's room. Even though Irene was confused she let it go and said good-bye having one more call to make. After hanging up he sent Chad on some errands so that they would not have to worry about anyone overhearing their talk.
When Rei walked in to the kitchen a few minutes later she was surprised to see her grandfather sitting down drinking tea.
"Rei sit down we need to talk."
"All right grand pa how many calls are we going to be getting today, and what did do you this time" Rei said seating down.
"No, Rei this is not about me this is about you." Rei poured herself a cup of tea not sure where this was going.
"If this about my friends grandpa I'll try to keep the noise down."
"No. this is about you being Sailor Mars. As for you friends I enjoy having the rest of the scouts here." Rei dropped her cup spilling her tea all over the table. Of all the things he could have said this was not something she expected.
"I don't know what you're talking about. There is so no way me or my friends could be the scouts. I mean just look at Serena she is aloud mouth klutzy person. She can't take two steps with at falling all over the place. You should also see her grades I mean they are the worst thing I have ever seen." She said as she cleaned up the mess whiling trying to convince him that he was wrong.
"Oh, Rei, why do you do that?" he asked shaking his head disappointment in his voice.
Even though he was proud of her he did dislike the way she treated Serena. He never could understand why she did it. After the way she was treated by her father and then her so call friends when she was little. He was sure she would never be one of those people who enjoyed hurting others with their words.
"Do what grandpa?" she asked not seeing the hurt on his face
"Degrade Serena like that. She is a good person who does not deserve the way you treat her. I am very disappointed in you Rei I thought I raised you better." He said as went to put his cup in the sink.
"She deserves it. I mean she never tries to be better. If I keep it up I'm sure she will change for the better."
"Did you deserve it Rei Hino? Did you deserve the same thing that you are doing to Serena? Do remember how it felt be teasing and harassed? Do you remember how it felt running home and crying because you felt that no one would like you?" he asked his voice rising. Rei looked at her grandfather surprised at his attitude.
"I don't understand what your talking about grandfather?"
"I want you to remember how you felt Rei. Look deep down inside you and remember, and then tell me if she really deserves everything you do to her." Rei closed her eyes and could feel the tears building. She saw herself being laughed and being called a freak. She saw how the friends she did have walk away from her when she went back to school following her vision. She saw herself withdraw into a deep shell not allowing anyone near her. Then she smiled as she remembered seeing Serena for the first time.
Her bubbly attitude making people around her smile. The way she excepted Rei even after hearing all of the rumors. How she trusted her and introduced her to her friends and never letting her be alone again. She also saw how she always came back to her even after the name calling. Rei broke down crying not sure how to make it up to her.
"Its ok Rei, she still loves you and it will be ok." He said as he rubbed her back
"I promise it won't happen again and I will make it up to her." She said through her tears.
"That's all I ask is for you to try and be a better friend."
"What I don't understand grandpa is how you knew about us." She said as she wiped her tears
"I have none since you were a little girl Rei." He said sitting back down
"B.B...but I have only been Sailor Mars for a few months." Now very confused.
"I know Rei and once the Princess is found and all of your memories have returned we will talk about it. I promise, but for now I will tell you that I am her to teach and help guide you on your quest." He said taking her hand in his.
"Does that mean that you know who she is? Please can't you tell us or at least give us clue."
"I'm sorry no, I can not do that. It is something you and your friends must discover, but I can tell you that all will be revealed soon. You see this is your mission young one. Rei do you know where the sacred fire comes from?" He asked changing the topic.
"What? No I don't know why you are asking me this."
"Come with me Rei I need to show you something that you need to know." He said as he led her to where the fire was kept.
"You see before you the sacred fire. The fire that shows what we ask it to show us. The fire was brought here from a temple the existed long ago. The fire burns bright never fading as long as someone from the planet Mars is still alive to guard it. The fires come from Mars it is where you get your powers." He said
"..." Rei opened her mouth but no sounds came out. He laughed at seeing her speechless.
"It's ok Rei we have all day to talk about this."
"You seem different grandpa not at all like you normally act." Rei said sitting in front of the fire feeling at home.
"You mean like the senile old man every one sees me as. It's all an act. I mean who would suspect the sailor scouts hanging around a dirty old man.' He said sitting next to her.
Rei gave him a hug proud to be his granddaughter and glad that they had this talk.
"So what made you decide to come out with everything?"
"You see Rei I along with Serena's mother feels that it is time to come out with everything. We will be going over there later on today."
"I'm glad its not a secret anymore. I hated keeping this away from you, but we were told it could be dangerous if to many people knew."
"Yes, I know I have heard the cats telling you all that. Know before we go over to their house I'm sure you have some question's."
"I do grandpa can you tell me more about the fire and where it came from." She said smiling at him the pressure finally off her.
"Of course Rei, but before I do I just want to tell you that I am so proud of you?"
The two sent the next few hours talking and getting to know each other all over again. Both happy about not having to keep secrets anymore. Rei was shocked to learn that she was not the only one who could talk to the crows who lived at the temple. She was also surprised that they were her guardians just as the cats were the guardians of Mina and Serena. She couldn't wait to tell the girls everything she had learned about herself and her grandfather. Maybe having the parents know what was going on wasn't so bad after all.
