Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon…. :D
Minako has left Japan after a fight between her and Rei. What will happen when she comes back after 4 years and is forced to stay with Rei in a room with only the two of them?
'Why would Usa and Ami sit there in front with Mako while leaving me with Minako here?' Rei thought as she subconsciously rubbed her cheeks as she watched the scenery pass by the window of Makoto's pick up truck.
Minako saw the miko rubbing her cheeks, she also saw the hand print that she made with the slap earlier and her brows started to furrow. Minako willed herself not to comfort Rei or even talk to the raven haired girl because she hated her.
Makoto saw all of this from her mirror and smirked. 'Stop trying to be stubborn Minako. We all know you could never hate Rei.' She thought as she continued to drive.
The two other senshii saw Makoto's smirk and tried to peek behind the passenger's seat. The two was met by scowl from Minako and sad eyes from Rei's. They both sighed and thought, 'Those two have switched roles.' And the two chuckled.
"Huh?" Minako and Rei said as they heard Ami and Usagi chuckle in front of them. The two looked at each other. Rei covered her face, as if she is going to get slapped again by Minako, and Minako just said, "Whatever," and gestured to Rei. The miko then slowly let her hands down from her face while wincing, after realizing that Minako was not looking at her anymore, she relaxed and looked at her side of the window again.
'Oh Rei. I'm so sorry about earlier but I… I hate you but I really don't. I know it doesn't make sense but... It's just that… you make me so mad with what you did but… but…' Minako thought, glanced at Rei, sighed and looked at her side of the window again.
"We're here!" Makoto exclaimed as she parked thru the drive way.
Everyone was getting out except for Rei who seemed too lost on her thoughts. Minako saw this and poked Rei's side, several in fact, before the miko realized it. "We're here Pyro. Get your butt off the car." Minako said in an irritated voice and then she walked inside the house. Rei jumped off the car and took her things and stopped before she could enter.
"What the fuck? Who paid for this?" she shouted as her eyes widened.
Rei saw a huge a villa. A 5 bedroom, 5 bathrooms, a huge kitchen complete with everything you need and don't need, a huge pool, a basketball court and 3 car garage villa.
Ami peeked through the door and replied, "Mina rented it," and went inside.
'Of course. She could buy whatever she wants now.' Rei thought.
"You could stay inside or would you prefer to sleep outside with your jaw hanging open all night?" Minako irritatingly said as she eyed the miko inside the house.
"Oh. Oh. Sorry. I was just surpris…" and before she could finish her sentence, Minako had already went inside.
Rei followed and looked at the huge living room with a grand piano, she was then met by Makoto, who gestured to leave all of her things at the couch and help her with the groceries. Rei nodded and they walked to the pickup truck.
"She still hates me, Mako. I don't know what to do," Rei was now pulling some grocery bags from the truck.
"Just tell her why you did those things to her. I know she'll understand." Makoto replied while trying to carry to much grocery bags.
"Let me help with those," Minako said as she came from behind Rei. Rei was so startled that the groceries she was holding flew out from her hands. Unfortunately, one of the bags contained a dozen eggs and two of the eggs cracked at Minako's hair and clothes.
"Are you fucking serious? SERIOUSLY REI? WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?" Minako was now shouting at Rei while Makoto's jaw dropped. Rei got so afraid that she hid her face again from Minako expecting a slap. Well, more of a punch.
Rei slid her hands down after a few seconds and…
SLAP!
Rei's lips began to bleed. She froze in her place and all she could muster was, "Sorry." Her hands were now in fist and Makoto and Minako realized that the miko was fighting off tears and anger. Makoto hugged Rei and gestured to Minako that she should clean herself. Minako hesitated for a while but her hate won her over and she went directly to her room to get changed.
Ami and Usagi ran towards Makoto and Rei. The three helped Rei to the kitchen and let her sit down. Ami got a wet towel and cleaned the side of the mouth of Rei that was bleeding. Usagi held Rei's hands and tried to comfort her. Makoto after getting something from the bag, sat across the table and threw something to Rei.
"That will help you relax a bit." Makoto said as she opened a can of beer for herself. "Just sit there and relax, okay? I'll be cooking us dinner. Just don't approach Minako for a while." The brunette then drank.
"I'll help with the cooking, Mako." Ami said.
"I'll help Rei to calm down." Usagi said reassuring the two other senshii.
Rei then opened the can of beer and drank it with one gulp. After she finished, she winced as she felt the pain from the corner of her lips. Makoto then gave her another beer.
"Are you sure it's safe to let her drink now?" Usagi whispered to Makoto.
"Don't worry she won't go overboard with the drinking. She'll just drink just enough to make her feel relaxed," Makoto answered with a wink.
Rei's head was now at the table and she was murmuring something incoherent. She had 8 cans of beer and she finally decided to stop drinking. Rei got up and walked towards the living room.
Usagi who was comforting Rei tried to stop the raven haired girl but was stopped by Ami and Makoto.
"Don't worry. She won't do anything stupid. Trust her," Ami said as she held the blonde's shoulder.
"It's just that I'm worried about them. They're my friends and it's hard for me to see them like this. Especially what Rei has been through." Usagi was now hugging Makoto and was crying.
"We know Usa. It'll all work out. I promise you." Makoto answered. Ami then hugged the both them.
Rei was having a hard time walking straight and she had to feel the walls or chairs in front of her. She was trying to go to the grand piano. As she was walking, all she thought was, 'Sorry sorry sorry…' Rei felt that she was on the verge of crying but fought it. After a few bumps here and there, she finally got to the piano and sat on its chair. She laced her fingers to the keys and she smiled. She then inhaled and exhaled a couple of times, concentrated at the keys and her hands and she began to play.
The three senshii in the kitchen got startled. They poked their heads on the door and was amazed at Rei. The miko was now singing along with what she was playing.
Minako heard someone playing the piano while she was drying her hair in her room. She got curious so went outside the room and peeked at the stairs. She was surprised on what she saw and heard.
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I would offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
'I never knew that Rei could play the piano.' Minako was amused by this but her amusement faded away when she caught the lyrics of the song and saw that Rei was crying while she was playing.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go blind for you
I'd go crawling down the aisle for you
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
Minako clenched her fist with hate from Rei. 'You are such a coward! Selfish!' Minako thought as she stood at the stairs.
The storms are raging on a rolling sea
Down the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
But you ain't seen nothing like me yet
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
Make you happy, make your dreams come true
To make you feel my love
Rei was now crying and her hands were on her face. She was saying something but Minako couldn't hear what it was. The blonde couldn't stand it anymore and she walked down the stairs and towards Rei. Rei was calming herself down as she felt really tipsy after she played. The miko didn't even notice that Minako was standing behind her.
"Stop crying!"Minako shouted angrily at Rei.
Rei faced the shouter and looked with half lidded eyes towards Minako.
"Mina… I'm sor…" Minako slapped Rei for the third time that day. Rei's lips began to bleed again. Rei just sat there and smiled at Minako.
"It's okay Mina. You can slap me again and again and again… as long as it makes you happy… " Rei's voice trailed off. Minako couldn't believe what she heard. She took Rei's shirt on her hands and shook the raven haired girl. "Sorry about the eggs earlier. Sorry about everything. I know you hate me but…" Rei's voice trailed off again.
As Minako's hand was about to slap Rei again, Makoto caught Minako's hand. She glared at Minako and shouted at the blonde, "What the fuck Minako? Stop slapping Rei!" She then pushed away the blonde and held Rei close to her. Ami and Usagi was too shocked to move from the kitchen and just watched the scene in front of them.
"Don't worry Mako. I am fine. I am… *hic* fine." Rei blurted out. She looked at Minako and said, "Don't worry Mina. I'm okay. You can slap me again if y… I think I'm gonna puke…" Rei almost puked but fought the urge to do so.
"I hate you Rei! You don't know what I had to go through! I hate you!" shouted Minako and she slapped Rei again as Makoto was too busy holding Rei back. Rei's lips bled a lot more.
Makoto put down the miko and was about to slap the blonde but she was stopped by Rei. Rei was now stooping low in front of Minako. The raven haired girl was having a tough time giving a fighting stance and this made Makoto angrier.
"I will protect Minako no matter what." Rei groggily said. Minako was shocked with what Rei had done.
"That's it! I had enough with all the slapping and emo-ness of you two!" Makoto shouted as she picked up the two and dragged them upstairs to one of the bedrooms.
"No one leaves this room until you two sort things out! YOU UNDERSTAND?" Makoto shouted as she locked the door behind her. Makoto then took some locks and put it at the door and slipped the keys to her pocket as she stormed down towards the kitchen.
