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?
Rei suddenly woke up from her dream and was startled at what she saw. Minako's face was close to her and the blonde appeared to be crying and hugging her.
'Minako's hugging me? What the hell happened last night?' The raven haired girl thought and then smiled. She brushed away some hair that fell on the blonde's face and wiped away the tears.
'Don't cry my tenshii. Please don't. I'll make it up to you, I promise.' Rei thought.
Minako stirred on her sleep and this made Rei nervous. The miko then tried to unwrap herself from the hug of Minako but found it hard to maneuver but got out of the hug.
"Damn shoulder!" Rei whispered then brushed her aching shoulder and then stood up. That's when she felt something was pounding like a jack hammer on her head.
She then heard a knock from the door and went to it. The door opened slightly and Haruka peeked inside.
"So… How are you do… What the hell… I never thought she slapped you that har…" Haruka couldn't shout fully as Michiru covered the blonde's mouth and pushed her aside.
"I'm sorry about that. Mako wanted to give you these." Michiru handed 2 tablets of aspirin and a glass of water. "She said you'd need that to get through the day." Michiru winced as she saw Rei's bloody lip.
"Thanks," the miko then took the pills and drank the water. "Could you tell me why there is a lock behind the door? And when did arrive here?" Rei was touching her lip. She winced when she felt the pain.
"Last night. Usagi said that you were so drunk that you didn't even ducked Mina's slap 2 times and you almost got into a fight with Mako." Haruka was wincing as she stared at Rei's lips.
"What she slapped me again? What's with all the slapping?" Rei faked a laugh.
"That will definitely leave a mark." Michiru said as she pushed aside Haruka again.
"So have you told her yet?" Haruka's face was now on top of Michiru's and her eyebrows were moving up and down.
"No. How could I tell her if she keeps slapping me." Rei faked another laugh and touched her shoulders. She felt pain unto it and couldn't shake it off.
"Still bothering you, huh? Have you taken your medicine yet? I could get it if you want." Michiru looked concerned at the miko.
"Nah. I'm fine. Besides the prescription was only until last week so I stopped taking them. It's better this way. At least it takes my mind off of the hang over." Rei smiled.
"You're such a masochist. You're like the president, no, chairman of the Masochists R Us." Haruka joked.
"You know me." Rei laughed.
"Well, we'll be back in a few minutes to give you two food. Mako just started to cook." Michiru told Rei as she waved and walked towards the stairs.
"You can do it, Rei!" Haruka shouted and gave a thumbs up to the miko.
"Yeah, yeah." Rei then closed the door.
Little did they know, Minako was listening to the whole conversation.
'What are they keeping from me? And happened to her shoulder? The scars looked like it just healed a few months ago. I better ask her.' Minako thought as she hugged the pillow Rei held last night.
"What happened to your shoulder?" asked Minako as she turned to face Rei from the bed.
Rei dropped the glass that she was holding. "You heard that?"
"Stop dropping things you baka!" Minako chuckled.
"Ehe… Sorry. You just startled me." Rei faced the blonde and she was blushing.
"So, what happened to your shoulder?" Minako was getting up from the bed.
"Umm… I kinda fell from the roof last year. The ceiling collapsed and I had to repair it… in the midst of a snow storm."
"Are you kidding me? That's stupid? Couldn't you wait until the storm stopped?" Minako was waving her arms from disbelief.
"I couldn't wait until the morning. If I waited, all of the ceilings could've collapsed. I repaired it and I slipped. I fell and crashed on some stones so my shoulder got whacked really bad. It was good that Yuuchi found me or I would've freezed to death or bled out." Rei faked another laugh.
"Where were the others when this happened?" Minako was willing herself not to hug Rei.
"Umm… Mako was in Paris, studying for her Pastry chef degree, Ami was studying in Germany, Usagi was in America with Mamoru and Haruka and Michiru was touring. Anyway, I'm fine now." Rei looked away from Minako. "I was supposed to fetch Mako from the airport a few days after the accident and she went to the shrine when I didn't show up. When she learned what happened, she called you guys and Usagi, Michiru and Haruka came but Ami couldn't because of her studies."
"I didn't' get a call from Mako." Minako replied in an annoyed voice.
"She said you weren't picking up. She used my phone to call you a couple of times." Rei answered.
"Oh." Minako answered as she gave herself a mental slap. 'That's why I didn't pick up. I got surprised that she would call all of a sudden. Baka Mina! Baka!'
"I had some operation done and they put some pins on it. My shoulder just recovered a couple of months ago because of the severe fracture that I got." Rei was massaging her shoulder again.
"You want me to massage it for you?" Minako said blushing.
"Umm… You don't have to do that Mina. I'm fine." Rei smiled at the blonde.
Suddenly her face was hit by a pillow.
"What the hell was that for?" Rei was now shouting at the blonde. Her head, face and shoulder ached and this made her really irritable.
"Because… Because… You always say your fine but you're not! You won't let me help you!" Minako was shouting and crying at the same time. "I offered you help after what you did to me and you still say no! Did you know how much that hurts? I offered myself… my whole being for you that day, Rei! I would've stayed if you said so!"
Another pillow was thrown at Rei but she dodged it this time.
"Will you stop with the throwing pillows already? My face still hurts with all the slapping frenzy that you did yesterday!" shouted Rei back.
"Why did you hug me at the airport, huh? WHY?"
"I told you! I said I missed you!"
"You never did miss me! You never write nor call! I waited for you to communicate with me!"
"But you didn't answer the phone when Mako called you from my phone!"
"That's because… I … I was surprised that you actually called!"
"Oh shut up. Whatever Mina."
"Whatever Mina? WHATEVER MINA? That's what you say to me after all those years?" Mina was now charging towards Rei. "You're the most selfish person I know! YOU'RE SELFISH HINO REI! SELFISH!" the blonde was now punching Rei's chest but Rei didn't budge.
Rei pulled away from Minako and sat down on a chair at the opposite side as Minako sat on the edge of the bed, not looking at Rei. The miko could hear the loud sobs from the blonde and began to cry herself.
