Hi again. The third chapter updated. Are they gonna be leaked out? Well...

Rei and Minako are in love with each other. Secretly, longingly, irreversibly. But there´s an even bigger problem than the possible intolerance of the others: Mina´s boyfriend Yaten.

:)

I get tongue-tied...

--

Artemis lied on the ground right next to Minako´s door. He couldn´t figure out, what had happend one minute ago.

What the hell, was that? Did that really happen? Maybe just a weird dream. Maybe there was something in his kitty food, because Minako´s mother wanted to get some action in her life and to vent herself on the poor cat that he was.

She had her aggressive moments and loved to take it out on Minako or her dad. Or him. He always suspected Minako´s mother of beein insane.

All of sudden he heard her say something and then shutting the kitchen door.Was she talking to him? Did she know, that he could speak? Artemis shook his head and decided,that it was him, who was insane. Then he heard foot steps on the stairs. Someone was climbing the stairs. Her dad was at work until 9 pm, her madness of mother was in the kitchen.

So who could...

All of sudden, a familiar silver blond head appeared. And a pair of green eyes looked in his direction.

Artemis felt his heart drop into his gut.

' Fuck! ' shot through his mind.

Bad timing!

Artemis jumped in front of Minako´s door, like a shield. He was unable to think of something else than how to distract Yaten. And how to save her...them...

The blond boy walked towards him. The tomcat glared at Yaten. He still couldn´t forgive him for taking Minako away. First Luna then Minako. Damn him.

"Hey Artemis" Yaten said, something that seemed half way like a smile appeared on his face. "hi", the cat said toneless.

Yaten reached for the doorknob. "Matte!" Artemis called out, terrified. "What?" Yaten said in his usual annoyed tone. Since he was Minako´s boyfriend, he tried to get along with her tomcat, but it wasn´t that easy since Artemis seemed to dislike him for some unknown reason.

"Well..." Artemis looked to the ground 'god I can´t believe, I´m doing this.'

"How are things going?...how´s your career?" he stuttered. Yaten frowned. He wasn´t stupid. Artemis barely talked with him, not to speak of beeing interested in his career. Something was strange but he decided to answer him. " Can´t complain. We´re recording a new single", he said with raised brows. To his suprise Artemis didn´t react in any way so he just reached out for the doorknob, shaking his head.

Minako was sunk in a very intensive kiss. There were even more to discover. The world outside didn´t exist, didn´t bother her. She didn´t care of anything except for her. Her. Rei. Her tongue burned like fire, she wouldn´t be suprised, if it would start to bleed.

All of sudden, like a bad anticipation, Rei stopped kissing her and stared at the blonde. Minako looked at her in suprise and one moment later, she knew, what has disturbed their rush. She heard voices.

Cautious, but still too clear, as if she could shrug them off as a delusion. Yaten´s voice! Mina paniced, she pulled herself out of Rei´s arms. In the hurry, their legs tangled together. Minako fell down on the ground.

That was the moment when the door bursted open and her blue eyes met a pair of green eyes.

For a moment everyone was quiet.

Artemis swallowed. It looked just to revealing. Rei´s hair was messy. And Minako´s lips were red and a bit billowed. Her skirt was sliped and revealed her long legs and thights. Yaten stared at her. Then he straightened. "Oh, you´re not alone!"

"Err...yes, Rei-chan came to visit me spontaneously." she laughed nervously but Artemis could read pure fear in her eyes. Yaten put his hand into the pocket and studied her.

"I see...why are you sitting on the ground? And then in a position like that?" "Oh...there´s no particular reason"

Rei watched the scene with great anxiety. She wished, she could teleport Minako and herself out of this room, and out of this house. Yaten had scared the crap out of them, but he himself didn´t seem to care that much.

Yaten shrugged. "I just wanted to see you and talk with you about something...I didn´t know, that you have a guest" he glanced towards Rei a bit too indicting.

Rei herself, decided that this was the right moment to go. She didn´t want to leave Minako alone with Yaten, but she had no choice.

"I..I have to go anyway!" she stood up and straightened her skirt. Minako, still sitting on the ground in an awkward postion, watched her leaving with sorrow. "I´ll call you" she called out. "Allright Mina-chan, bye" Rei said before leaving the room. She has smiled but when she said "bye" her eyes were sad. Minako noticed that.

She needed a few seconds to realize, that Yaten was still there and she was not alone. He helped her up. Then he took her in his arms his lips touched hers. Their tongues played the same game they always did. While they were kissing, Minako´s thoughts jumbled.

She should tell him the truth. It was not fair, he had to know how she felt. She could do it now, let it end as easy as she could say "I love you". She could tell him, that it was over, that her feelings had changed and, of course, they will stay friends, because they understand each other and have a common circle of friends. She could tell him all these things. It would be over, quickly. But what, if she forejudged over her feelings.

Did her love really end? Minako stopped to kiss him and pressed her face to his shoulder. It is conversant, that people, who are in a long relation-ship become bored after a time and look for something new. They interchange the lovely feeling of beeing adored by a new person with love. They think, that they are in love with someone new and the love to their longtime partner has end. Often this is not the case. But Rei was not a "short-time affair" or something. They knew each other even longer than she knew Yaten. Maybe that wasn´t the right moment to tell him that, and she should figure out her true feelings. It still felt good in his arms. "Hey, what´s that with you?" Yaten interrupted her deep thoughts. "Nothing" "Minako, I know you, so don´t try to fool me" He looked at her with a soft expression.

She sighed. "Later...so what was it, you wanted to talk about?" Now it was Yaten who sighed. "Well, Seiya called me earlier that day and said, something about a "very great idea that Usagi had" and they want to make a journey with us all over the weekend. Hoewever, he was beside himself with joy." Minako looked up. "A journey? Over the weekend? where to..." "Something like a health resort. They want us all to charter a house there." She stared at him in disbelief. She would be constantly around Rei but would have to hide her feelings.

Yaten continued: "They just want to know, who is sharing a room with who. I told them to arrange a room for us two!"

"Yeah, of course" Minako didn´t know why she was dissapointed. Had she really hoped that there was even a slightest chance to get a room with Rei? She forced a smile "great".

"Allright then" he said and kissed her again.

The kiss tasted salty. Like tears.

Get ready for the next chapter. Rating will change.
