Jadeite sat quietly across from Rei as she meditated before the Great Fire. Through the flames he marveled at how the dim light played upon her features.

The fire danced before her just like he remembered. It welcomed her, embraced her, blazed according to her emotions. They were one, if only for a little while - the fire soothing and teaching her, while she reveled in its warmth and its acceptance. Acceptance – a rarity that she had only found in her fellow Senshi.

Or so she believed.

As he watched her, Jadeite couldn't help but be struck by the scene before him. Was there anything more intimate that witnessing a Senshi becoming one with her element. No, a woman in her element – after all she was only a woman. And though it may not have been exactly candlelight, he had never seen her look so beautiful, so extraordinary . . . . And it warmed his heart that she had allowed him to be a part of this moment - a moment that he would cherish for the rest of his life.
