Chapter 7
The Cure
Two weeks later Minako's condition had advanced tenfold. The blond could hardly move, It took all of her energy just to get up and get dressed. A few times Kunzite had to carry Minako back to her room she would get so tired. Minako knew her friend was very worried but when ever he would ask her about it she would just say he wouldn't understand and she was going to be fine. Rei seemed to notice but Minako didn't think she cared much, mostly just ignoring her again completely.
Minako felt even worse this morning then she had any morning prior, slowly she reached to the night stand and grabbed some pain killers quickly popping them into her mouth and drinking the water she placed there the night before. After a half hour of waiting and the pain didn't lessen Minako slowly tried to get up and ready for the day. The blond made it about half way to her dresser when she doubled over in pain, laying on the floor Minako didn't think she could get back to her bed so the blond just laid there crying until she fell asleep.
Rei was walking away from the dinning hall were she had just finished a nice lunch with Jadeite, Nephrite and Ami when Kunzite walked up to her and asked.
"Excuse me Princess but I was wondering were Minako is, we were supposed to meet today in the garden but she never showed I just was wondering if everything was alright?" Rei saw red, Minako and this man were meeting in the garden and he had the nerve to come and talk to her about it. The Martian resisted the urge to punch the general but said instead, rather rudely too.
"What Minako does or doesn't do is of no concern to you General, good day." and with those words the Martian left walking swiftly towards her room.
The Martian Princess slammed into her room thinking Minako may still be sleeping and hoping to disturb her blond wife with the action, but when the door opened and Rei saw Minako lying on the floor passed out her heart seemed to stop. Rei, wasting no time, ran to Minako and began to shake her.
"Minako, Minako wake up…wake up." Rei said as she attempted to awaken her wife. The blond didn't react at first but after a while her eyes slowly opened.
"Rei." the blond whispered.
"I'm here Minako, come on get up." Minako tried to move it didn't work her body began to shake and tears slowly rolled from her eyes. Rei slipped her hand behind Minako's neck and lifted her front half up leaning the blond against herself.
"Rei….you found…me I thought I w..would be laying here all, all day." Minako's eyes slid closed again as she laid against Rei's shoulder. Rei repositioned and picked Minako up quickly running straight to the infirmary.
"Go get Princess Mercury….quick!" Rei yelled to the nearest nurse. The nurse turned and ran. Not moments later Ami came running in to the infirmary.
"Ami, what's wrong with her." Rei said. The bluenette just ignored her friend and quickly ran to the medicines pulling out a needle and filling it with a fair amount of liquid then quickly injecting it into Minako's arm. The blond immediately stopped shaking and seemed to be sleeping soundly.
"What did you give her." Rei asked. Ami looked down at Minako and sighed.
"A strong sedative. She's sleeping for now but I don't think it will last long, Because she's a senshi." Rei frowned.
"What's wrong with her Ami." Rei asked. Ami looked to the floor and didn't say anything. Rei grabbed the smaller girls shoulder and said.
"Ami what's wrong with my wife!" Ami looked in Rei's eyes and said.
"She's sick, and she's in a lot of pain." Rei felt like her whole world had just tumbled down.
"How…how is she sick, is it bad?" Ami shook her head.
"The condition usually isn't this bad but…." Rei waited for Ami to finish but she didn't continue talking.
"But what?" she asked.
"Rei first let me tell you something about Venusians. Venusian bodies are very different from other races but mostly when it comes to sex. Once Venusians become sexually active their bodies begin to create a sort of toxin that is only expelled from another sexual release if the Venusian doesn't have sex and release this toxin then it becomes very painful." Rei frowned.
"But that makes no sense she sleeps with Kunzite all the time and who knows who else why is she getting sick." Rei said with a frown. Ami frowned right back.
"See Rei that's were your totally blind she doesn't sleep with Kunzite, she doesn't sleep with anyone that's why she is as bad as she is, she wont because she doesn't want to hurt you." Rei frowned again and said.
"She wouldn't hurt me, she couldn't hurt me." Rei said strongly. Ami sighed Rei just wasn't getting it.
"Fine she wont betray your trust, she knows how Martians are about marital vows and she will willingly go through all this pain so that she doesn't betray you. She cares about you Rei more then she does herself." Rei frowned then realization hit her.
"Ami you said this toxin starts when a Venusian become sexually active?" Ami nodded and Rei sighed looking down at her feet.
"It's my fault, she said we shouldn't… on our wedding night, she knew but she did it anyway… because I wanted to. Its my fault she's in pain." Ami sighed but didn't know what to say.
"I think she would be more comfortable in her bed, She wont be asleep for much longer Senshi bodies burn up sedatives so fast. I'll have one of the orderlies carry her." Rei shook her head.
"I'll carry her." the raven said as she walked towards the bed. Ami decided to try to help the couple a little.
"Rei you could help her, she wont take a lover I've already suggested it and she wouldn't ask for your help but, she needs someone." Rei nodded in understanding then picked up the sleeping blond. "Rei she has so much toxin in her system, it may take more then once to clear it all." Ami said as Rei began walking back to her room. Rei turned to look at the bluenette and said as she continued walking.
"I'll take care of it."
Rei made it to their room just as Minako began to stir. The raven haired princess could tell her wife was waking up she would move a little then whimper in pain, tears slowly trailing down the blonds cheek. Reaching the bed Rei slowly removed Minako's nightgown leaving the blond naked and placed her on the bed. Then she stripped herself and climbed into the large bed leaning against the head board Rei pulled Minako's back up against her front. Rei softly caressed Minako's stomach placing her head on the blonds shoulder. Rei turned in slightly and kissed her wife's ear whispering.
"Mina, baby are you awake?" Minako moved the slightest bit. Reaching her hand up from the bed the sick blond interlaced her fingers with Rei's. Rei smiled she had hoped Minako was awake, she didn't feel it was right to do anything to her if she were still unconscious. Rei whispered again.
"I'm going to help you, ok Mina?" Minako whimpered and tried to move her head to the side towards Rei's. It didn't work but she whispered out.
"No..you don't have to I'm…fine." Rei frowned and said.
"You're not fine Minako, you don't have to suffer! I'll help you from now on." as Rei said this she slowly reached around the blond gently caressing down her stomach with her free hand, going lower and lower until she reached the blonds clit, rubbing slow circles there. Minako moaned and arched her back, it seemed like she was already on the edge. Rei leaned in and placed gentle kisses on the blonds neck. As she did this she increased the speed and pressure of her fingers on Minako's clit. Instantly Minako's pain was gone, replaced completely by desire and passion.
"Uhh, oh god Rei." Minako breathed out gripping her wife's hand tightly. After what seemed like sweet torturous eternity to Minako, Rei slowly slid her hand and inserted her fingers into Minako. Minako moaned again lifting her free hand up and around Rei's neck as her head turned to the side Rei turned her head as well to meet Minako's soft, sweet lips in a passionate kiss. Their lips were pressed tightly together as Minako came, leaving only a whimper in the back of her throat as verbal proof.
Rei was leaving soft gentle kisses on Minako's neck, cheek and jaw as the blond attempted to get her breathing under control. She felt so much better, the pain had lessened greatly, she could still feel it but at this point it didn't matter.
"You didn't have to do that." Minako whispered. Rei frowned and said quietly.
"You should have told me a long time ago, you wouldn't have had to suffer so." Minako started to get up as she said.
"I didn't want to force you or guilt you into being with me." Rei reached up quickly grabbing the blond around the waist and pulling her down onto the bed, hastily the raven haired princess positioned herself above the blond. Minako frowned and said.
"Rei what are you doing. We already…ya know… I'll be fine." Rei smiled and leaned down to nibble gently on Minako's lips. Minako whimpered in pleasure as she leaned up to take full possession of the ravens lips. The kiss was epic in comparison to any of their previous kiss's slow and gentle, pulling out bouts of passion completely untapped by either women. Then quick, passionate and full of an aching uncontrollable need. Minako pulled away for breath and Rei said with a seductive smile as she slowly caressed Minako's cheek.
"Ami said you would probably need more then one go, and I'm totally up for it. That is if you are?" Minako was completely breathless. 'Is Rei asking me to have sex with her? Seriously how could I ever say no, its not even a possibility' Minako thought. The blond nodded and said.
"I am but only if you really want to, I don't need any help right now I feel much better." Rei smiled and said as her lips softly caressed the blonds neck.
"I think your lying Mina, I saw you cringe in pain when I pulled you down to the bed, your still hurting aren't you." Minako frowned. 'damn over observant Martian.' Rei's lips softly trailed around Minako's nipple gently letting her tongue glide out from time to time to taste the soft skin there. Minako was completely distracted by Rei's tongue and lips she hardly heard her wife's words.
"Are you lying Mina? Are you still in pain?" Minako cringed with desire and said in hurried breathes.
"No, not with your tongue on me I'm not." As she said this the blond pulled Rei back up to her and took immediate possession of her lips.
Before Rei even knew what was going on her world had flipped. Minako had switched their positions the blond was now on top of her wife straddling the ravens thighs, leaning forward to initiate a strangled kiss. Then leaning back the blond flipped her hair behind her shoulder and looked down at her beautiful wife while her hands softly caressed up and down Rei's stomach moving up slowly to stroke the dark haired girls nipples. Rei looked into Minako's eyes and was immensely aroused by the dominance she saw there. Minako had never been anything but submissive, both in normal everyday life and sexually, this boldness was driving Rei insane with want. The feeling increased drastically when Minako grabbed one of Rei's hands and placed it gently on her stomach. The Martian gulped at how sexy it was to watch Minako make Rei touch her. Slowly Minako's hand lowered taking Rei's along with it, the blonds head rolled back in ecstasy, eyes closing on a raspy sigh of pleasure. Rei smiled and took over from there. Quickly the raven haired princess slipped her fingers deep into her blond wife. Pumping in and out hard as Minako's hips ground down against her. Rei continued her actions as Minako leaned forward again and captured her lips in yet another passionate kiss. 'So close!' the words were running an Olympic marathon in Minako's mind, every time she would think she was about to come, Rei's pressure would lessen just enough to keep her on the edge. The blond didn't think she could take it any more! Reaching down Minako interlaced her fingers with Rei's free hand and brought it up above the dark haired girls head pinning her to the mattress. Rei's eyes widened again, she couldn't lie she completely loved being dominated by her normally quiet and sweet tempered wife.
"Fuck Rei, now just…Ohh god just do it!" Minako commanded as her hips demanded more from her wife. Rei smiled and decided to give Minako what she so desperately wanted by way of curling her fingers upward and searching, searching, until she found the spot she had been looking for. Rei smiled and Minako screamed, a high pitched whimper when her wife continually pushed on that spot, that spot that made her see white and before she could even think the blond came hard.
After a moment to catch her breath Minako leaned back up looking down at Rei who was smiling. Minako blushed. Rei smiled wider.
"That was possibly the sexiest thing I have ever experienced in my life, or any life prior." Minako blushed deeper, Rei just laughed. Minako leaned back slightly and Rei moaned a little. It was Minako's turn to smile as she backed off of Rei and slid her body between Rei's legs leaning down to kiss the ravens jaw.
"I think you are the sexy one." Minako whispered as she interlaced her fingers with both of Rei's hands, bringing them up above her wife's head again. Rei liked this, she liked Minako's sudden need for dominance, Martians were dominant creatures by nature but when it came to sexuality they wanted their partners to make them submit. This Martian was like every other she loved submitting for her wife. Rei's eyes widened a little when Minako's hands released her sliding slowly down her arms and sides. It was then that Rei noticed the feel of metal around her wrists. 'Chains? When the hell did we get chains on our bed?' Rei thought as Minako leaned back with a seductive smile. Looking up Rei tugged against the chains a little. The Martian frowned in confusion she had never seen chains like this before, where normal chains were cold metal these were warm to the touch, and the links were made of little rounded hearts as opposed to just circle ones but the most noticeable theme about them was that they glowed a deep gold color. Rei's eyes went to Minako in wonder and question. The blond giggled and leaned down to lick up Rei's neck as her hands caressed Rei's sides and chest.
"You didn't think that just because I don't fight doesn't mean I don't have senshi powers did you?" Rei gulped as she realized she was now completely at the mercy of her wife. Rei couldn't ever remember a time when she had been more aroused. Minako began to suck and nibble, none to gently, on Rei's neck and jaw.
"You see my element is metal, were as yours is fire. This chain is normally used for other things but tonight I think I found a more suitable use." Minako whispered between kisses. Rei moaned and pleaded.
"Minakoooo, Oh sweet Ares this is driving me crazy." Minako leaned back and said in a very serious voice.
"If you don't like it Rei I can let you go, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable." Rei panicked a little thinking Minako would get rid of the chain somehow and she yelled out a little to loudly.
"NO! No I like it." Minako smiled and said.
"Good, I was hoping you would, I didn't want to make you nervous. Now I hope you like this too." As Minako said the words she slipped down Rei's body spread the dark haired girls legs wide and teasingly glide her tongue slowly up Rei's center. The raven moaned loudly.
"God yes! Oh yes I like that too!" Rei exclaimed. Minako smiled and continued, basking in the exotic taste of her gorgeous wife and wishing to all the gods in existence that she could do this on a regular basis. Rei moaned and whimpered loudly as her wife sexually tortured her into submission. Minako moved to suck on her wife's clit and then slowly slid two fingers into her drenched opening. Rei couldn't take anymore, Minako had dominated her in their previous session, chained her to the bed, and was now going down on her. Rei's arousal had hit its peak and Minako quickly threw her over the edge by entering her, and for the first time ever Rei screamed as she came. Minako leaned back as she licked her lips clean and smiled.
"your so beautiful like that." the blond whispered. Rei's eyes opened locking with her wife intensely. Minako smiled again and raised one hand up, banishing the chains from around Rei's wrists. Rei immediately reached up and pulled the blond down onto her, kissing her lips thoroughly. Rei's breathing was still quick and hard, both of them were completely covered in sweat and Minako couldn't have been happier in Rei's arms. "From now on when you need me to help you let me know ok?" Rei said. Minako sighed nodding her head and whispering against Rei's neck.
"Ok." Minako dreaded the morning when things would go back to the way it was before, making love hadn't been anything important before, Minako assumed Rei would continue on as they were at least until Minako needed her again. Once every two weeks or so that's what she figured it would take. Minako snuggled her head into the crook of Rei's neck. Twice a month wasn't nearly enough in her mind. A tear slid from her eyes as she held tight to her probably now sleeping wife. 'I want you so much more then that.' Minako thought. Calming her nerves she forced herself to stop the tears and go to sleep.
