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?
"Hey Rei! Rei!" Minako was running towards the put down her broom and looked at the blonde.
"Hey Mina! You look so happy! What happened?"
Minako suddenly hugged Rei. They both blushed. "My manager told me that I could go to Europe and record there! A huge record label is willing to sign me up!" Minako now faced Rei, the blonde giggling.
"Oh. Congratulations Mina." Rei forced a smile.
"You're not happy for me?" Minako looked at Rei's eyes.
"I'm happy for you Mina. Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be? It's just that, I'll miss you a lot." Rei was fighting tears. 'I can't let her see me like this. Hide your feelings Rei. Hide it. It's better this way.' Rei thought as she hugged Mina once again.
"I don't want to leave you, Rei. You can come with me if you like." Smiled Minako.
"I can't leave Grandpa alone. He's getting weaker and weaker as the months pass," said Rei sadly.
"I… I could just stay if you want me too…" Minako blushed as she realized what she had just said.
Rei was surprised with what the blonde said. She didn't expect this from her. She knew that aside from protecting Usagi, being an idol was everything for Minako.
"N… No Mina. I'll be fine. You don't have to do that. I'll be here Mina. I'll wait here for you." Rei also blushed as she said this to Mina.
Their foreheads now touched eachother and Rei was holding Minako's face close to her.
"No really Rei. If you tell me too, I will stay. I don't want you to feel that I abandoned you or something. Your dad already did that to you. And I want… I want to stay here with you because I… I lo…" Minako was cut short as Rei pushed the blonde away.
"Just go Mina. I don't want your pity. Just go." Rei's fist was clenched. She then turned around and went inside the shrine. 'I just can't let you throw away your dreams like that. I… I love you too much to see you sad and regret that you didn't take this chance.' Rei thought as she cried in her room.
'Rei, why did you do that? I was about to confess everything to you. Why are you so stubborn? Stop pushing everyone away!' Minako thought as tears ran down her face and saw the miko walk away from her.
Rei seemed to be getting more distant to Minako everyday. The blonde cried every night as Rei didn't answer her call and avoided her every time she sees her. The other girls didn't know what to do either as Rei ignored them as well.
After a week, Minako couldn't take it anymore so she stormed into Rei's room.
"What the hell Rei? Why are you avoiding me? I'm willing to give up my dream for you! Don't you get it? I want to be with you! I need to be with you, Rei! And if not being an idol is the price, then… I'll take it!" the blonde was crying and shouting at Rei.
Rei stood up and slapped Minako.
"Just go already. I don't need your pity. I can take care of myself."
Minako was now punching Rei's chest while shouting, "I hate you Rei! I hate you!"
Rei pushed Minako outside her room and closed her door. Minako was trembling with anger towards the miko and ran off away from the shrine.
After a few minutes, her Grandpa opened Rei's door and went inside the room. She found the miko curled up into a ball, hugging a picture of Minako and her and was crying. Her grandpa reached out to her and hugged her.
"There, there child. You did what you thought was good for her."
"I know Grandpa but why does it hurt so much."
"That's the way of love my child. That's just how it is. Don't worry she'll understand why you did it everntually."
"But she hates me. She won't forgive me for what I had done to her."
"There is a fine line between hate and love Rei. Most of the time, people are confused on what is what. Just wait for her. She'll be back."
"I'll wait for her, even if it takes forever. And when the time comes, I'll make it up to her."
"That's the spirit child."
Rei stirred from her sleep.
It was raining and many people were coming in and out of the Hikawa shrine.
"Where's Rei?" the blonde asked Ami. Ami then looked at Makoto, who pointed to Rei's room. Minako then ran towards the direction only to be stopped by Yuuichiro.
"Get out of the way Yuuchi." Minako threatened the young man.
"I… I'm sorry Mina. I can't let you pass. Rei… Rei told me not to…" Yuuchiro couldn't look at Minako's eyes. "She said that you should leave and let her be alone. She… She said she doesn't want to see you right now." Yuuchiro could feel the blonde's hatred.
"I'm here to comfort her Yuuchi. Her grandpa just died for Kami's sake!" shouted Minako.
"I know Mina. I know. But she said that she can't see you right now." Yuuchiro was slowly walking towards the blonde.
"What the hell are you thinking Rei? I came back for you! You should've told me not to come so I my time wouldn't be wasted! I cancelled a lot of my schedule for you! I hate you, Rei! I HATE YOU!" shouted the blonde towards the miko's room.
Minako then ran away from the shrine as the rain poured down the heavens.
Minako winced and started to cry a bit while sleeping.
