Chapter 8

Might like her

Early morning light shone annoyingly through the window of the two Princess's room. Rei stirred and sat up stretching and yawning loudly before she realized she should be quiet, Minako was still sleeping. Rei smiled at the little curled up ball of blond Venusian laying right up against her. Gently the Martian caressed the blonds head then carefully stood and began to dress for early morning training with Makoto, Jadeite and Nephrite. Finally all dressed in her training gear Rei turned to leave. The Martian princess was half way across the room when she suddenly turned around walking to the bed and placing a feather light kiss onto Minako's forehead. Hoping the caress wouldn't wake the probably exhausted blond.

Rei was quietly humming to herself as she walked into the training yard. Her three companions were already present. Rei smiled and said.

"Ok lets do this, I say we do some sparring. One Senshi and one Shitennou verses the other two." all three of them nodded with a smile. Rei was, apparently, oddly happy this morning. The teams ended up being Rei and Nephrite verses Makoto and Jadeite. After a moment it ended up being two separate battles of one Senshi vs. Shitennou and another Senshi vs. the other Shitennou. Makoto quickly beat Nephrite pinning him to the ground with her long spear at his throat.

"Do you yield?" Nephrite nodded with a smile.

"That last one was a good move." he said. Makoto laughed.

"I learned it from Ami actually." The two brunettes turned to look at the battling Martian and earthling, it looked like Jadeite had Rei on the run but Makoto knew better. Rei had used that tactic on her before. Suddenly the blond earthling was flipped straight forward his own thrusting momentum throwing him down landing with a thud on his stomach. Nephrite and Makoto busted out laughing. Rei smiled in triumph as she placed her sword tip into his back.

"You shouldn't get overzealous in battle Jadeite, aggression is good, to much can get you knocked on your ass." Jadeite smiled and turned around nodding at the same time. Rei smiled at her friend and offered him a hand.

"Good effort though." The Martian said. Jadeite laughed.

"My you are in a good mood this morning, your practically glowing, you were humming when you came out here." the blond man laughed again. "What's gotten into you?" Rei blushed as Makoto and Nephrite came over wondering the same thing.

"It's none of your business you jerk." Rei said with a blushing laugh. After a little bit more teasing about Rei's good mood Nephrite announced.

"Ok Jadeite we have to go, Endymion wants us for a meeting/update on news from Earth in about twenty minutes. I want to get it over with before breakfast." Jadeite nodded and walked away waving to the two senshi. Makoto waited until the boys had left then attacked.

"Ok spill it." Rei frowned with a blush.

"Spill what?" Makoto sighed in exasperation.

"Spill what ever it is that happened to make you so bloody cheerful this morning." Rei blushed looking around her to make sure they were alone.

"Minako." she said. Makoto look very confused. Rei sighed.

"We well… we had sex last night….a few times. It was amazing Makoto. She made me feel things I had never even begun to feel. First she pinned me to the bed and freaking commanded me to get her off. It drove me crazy. Then she tied me up!" Makoto's eyes widened in shock from the detail Rei apparently thought she would need.

"Did you know that she can summon a golden chain at will. It was so sexy she tied me to the bed with her magical chain then went down on me, that girl can do some amazing things with her tongue it was insane she would." at this point Makoto cut her off.

"Whoa Rei a little to much detail, jeez traumatize me for life why don't ya." Rei smiled and said.

"Sorry but it really was amazing." Makoto grinned still a little shocked.

"Are you sure we're talking about the same person, your wife, Sailor Venus, the quiet, scared and completely docile, shy Venusian?" Rei nodded.

"She did all of that to you." Rei looked off as if in a dream state.

"Oh yeah….she did." Makoto laughed.

"Wow go Minako! Who knew our little Venusian had it in her! Woot woot!" Rei laughed as she pulled Makoto towards the exit making their way to breakfast.

"She is actually kind of kinky." Rei said. Makoto just smiled.

"Whoa." was all the brunette said. Rei smiled.

"I know, I completely love it!"

The blond Princess of Venus awoke feeling better then she had in a very long time. She was no longer plagued with the pain, dizziness or nausea that came with her previous illness, and even though she knew things between herself and Rei hadn't changed emotionally she greatly looked forward to the next time that they would make love. It made her sad to know that Rei would never love her. Like her maybe but not love her like Minako loved the Martian, but if she couldn't have Rei's heart she would just have to settle with knowing she had her body; totally and completely to herself. Martians didn't cheat on their partners it just wasn't done. Getting up quickly Minako dressed in her "training" outfit and braided her long golden hair. Then she was off in the direction of breakfast. In no time at all Minako was walking through the large double doors to the dinning hall. Upon entering she saw Ami, Makoto and Rei sitting were they usually sat every morning together. Minako walked into the room and out of habit turned towards her normal table away from her wife. Rei frowned sadly when she realized Minako wasn't going to come and sit with them, then the Martian decided to see if she could change that. 'Well previously we had been fighting so it makes sense that she wouldn't want to sit by me but maybe if I asked her she would come over here.' Rei stood and waved to her wife who turned towards her looking slightly confused. Rei smiled and Minako smiled back raising her eyebrow in question. Rei laughed, she loved how Minako did that with her eyebrow it was just so cute. Waving a little Rei yelled slightly.

"Come here." Minako looked confused but nodded and walked over to her wife. When Minako made it to the Senshi's table Rei blushed slightly when she said.

"You could sit here. If you want to." as the Martian Princess said this she gestured towards the seat next to herself. Minako smiled and said.

"Really? I mean yes of course." The blond walked around the table and sat next to her wife. Rei smiled and started to make Minako a plate. The Venusian laughed at the amount of food Rei was giving her.

"What?" Rei said with a grin.

"Rei I cant eat all of that." Rei looked confused and said.

"Why not I could." Minako laughed and stated.

"Yes but you eat like a pig." Rei pouted and said.

"Your calling me a pig." Minako smiled and without even realizing it caressed Rei's hand as she said.

"No honey you aren't a pig, I've noticed its a Martian thing. You just have much larger appetites." Rei smiled and nodded. Minako blushed when she realized she had a hold of Rei's hand still and began to remover hers from the Martians grasp. Rei squeezed the blonds hand a little and kept a hold tightly. Minako blushed but Rei ignored it saying.

"Well I think you could use a bit of weight on you, you have been sick lately." Minako smiled and said.

"Your just trying to get me fat." Rei giggled and joked back to her wife as she poked Minako in the ribs with her free hand.

"And why would I do that your already a bit pudgy anyways." Minako scoffed and smacked Rei's shoulder.

"I am not, pudgy indeed, I cant believe you would say such a thing." Rei giggled a little and said.

"ok ok your not pudgy. How about we make a deal you eat what you can, as much as you can, and I'll finish the rest." Minako smiled started eating and nodded at the same time. Rei smiled back and began to finish her own plate.

Soon the meal was over and the couple got up and began to walk out of the hall. Rei turned left with Minako still holding the blonds hand. She knew it was dumb of her. She needed to go the other way to meet Jadeite but she still followed her wife despite the fact that she was being led in the wrong direction. Rei smiled when Minako pulled her out a door leading into the garden. Stopping a little ways into the garden maze Minako looked up into Rei's slightly confused eyes. Reaching down Minako plucked a flower from the garden and gave it to the Martian. Rei blushed slightly as Minako handed her the flower. No one had ever given her a flower before. Then her wife winced in pain and gripped her finger.

"Oww. Be careful it has thorns still" Rei frowned and looked at the flower and the little thorns on the stem.

"What is it?" Rei asked as she broke the thorns off of the stem and placed the flower behind Minako's ear. Minako smiled and said as Rei then took her hand and kissed her pricked finger.

"It's a rose, a white rose. They are my favorite and I wanted you to have one." Rei looked up into the blonds eyes as she asked.

"Why?" now would be the perfect time to tell her. To let her wife know how much she loved her. The perfect time that is if this were a fairy tale but Minako knew it wasn't and that Rei would only be uncomfortable by her declaration of love. Instead Minako thought with all her heart as she looked into Rei's eyes. 'because I love you so much' her heart screamed it but her lips whispered as she shrugged her shoulders.

"because they are pretty." Rei smiled as her hand raised to caress Minako's cheek lightly grazing the skin with her knuckles.

"Your pretty." Minako looked to the ground in slight sadness remembering a time when Rei had told her that her beauty was a strike against her and that Minako wasn't good enough to be Rei's wife. The blond sighed and whispered.

"I know. I'm sorry." Rei frowned not sure what she said to make her wife so sad. She didn't know what to do, she just wanted to get that broken defeated look off of Minako's face and before she knew it she was lifting Minako's chin with her finger and brushing her lips against the blonds. Minako's eyes widened in shock, she couldn't believe it Rei was actually kissing her. They had just had sex last night so there was no actual reason for her dark haired princess to kiss her. Unless she just wanted to. Minako smiled at that thought and allowed Rei to deepen the kiss the moment she attempted to. Minako wrapped her arms around Rei's waist as her wife's hands began to roam her body. Rei was lost in a cloud of desire. She wanted Minako, right here, right now if possible, and just as the raven haired princess was contemplating laying Minako down on the grass to engage in some extracurricular activates they heard a yell.
