A/N: This was even harder to write than the last chapter. I need to go write a humor fic to take my mind off the pain of this one. You M/R lovers will see what I mean. Ugh. Anyway, here it is.

Disclaimer: see previous chapter. Also, I don't own any car models. Shoot, I don't even own a car.

Three sets of eyes looked the the young bloody idol with varying looks.

Setsuna hid her worry behind her "I know it all" mask, as Haruka had deemed it a few days ago. Minako knew she was worried regardless. Kei looked like he was about to cry, but Minako wasn't sure if it was because she had ruined his birthday party, because he didn't get to open his gifts, because his arm candy was hurt, or because he actually cared about her. She figured it was a large mix of the first three with a potential dab of the last one. Haruka was grinning. Minako was sure that had something to do with who she was fighting and her state of undress at the moment. She was still waiting to hear the older blond's perverted jokes. She was sure they were inappropriate for the present moment, but couldn't wait until they were alone. She didn't doubt they would make her feel better.

Setsuna spoke first. "That was quite the scene you just caused, Minako."

"I can imagine. Good thing no one else saw, right?" The young woman smiled, but she received no smile in return. She sighed and continued dressing her wounds.

"Sets, relax. Everything will be fine."

"I have not doubt about whether or not you will heal properly, nor do I doubt whether your publicity will be affected, whether the media caught sight of you or not."

Minako knew what what the older woman was talking about, and knew that that was another conversation that had to wait until another time. She would enjoy that one significantly less than the one with Haruka.

Satisfied with the bandaging she put on her ribs, Minako stood up and put on the shirt Setsuna brought for her.

Kei ran up to the now dressed idol and wrapper his arms around her neck. His tears finally fell free and ran down his cheeks. "Don't scare me like that any more. Just because I call you V-chan doesn't mean you can go off fighting like you really are her. I don't want you to die like she did."

Minako sighed. This boy really didn't know a thing about who she was. She was wrong to have worried. "I'm not going to die, Kei. I'm fine. It's not like I haven't been in a fight before, and that wasn't even my first fight with Rei." Minako didn't mention that it wasn't even the fourth or fifth. She and her second in command use to go head to head all the time, and Rei was a lot tougher sober than drunk.

The blond reached up and wiped the boy's tears off of his face. He held her hands against his cheeks. "I'm fine, Kei. My pride is more hurt than anything. We came to a stand still and she was drunk. If she was sober she would have beat my ass."

Kei looked down at her, worry etched in his features.

"Relax. If she were sober we never would have had that fight in the first place. I'm the one who has no self-control. She never would have lost it like I did."

The teen ran his fingers through Minako's flaxen hair. "It's not your fault. I blame her."

Minako laughed. "You don't even know what happened."

Setsuna raised an eyebrow. "You're right. I think it's time you tell us that story."

Usagi looked around, thoroughly confused. "Hey Mako, when was the last time you saw Rei?"

The brunette shrugged. "I don't remember. Why?"

"And where's Yuuko?"

"I have no idea. Why?"

"Minako and Kei are gone too."

Makoto looked around. "Seems like they are. So what?"

Usagi frowned. "That doesn't seem suspect to you?"

Makoto shook her head. "They probably left to go have sex or something."

Usagi's frown deepened. She had no idea whether or not either of the couples were sexually active, but she did know that she saw Minako disappear with Rei before either of the other two left. "Minako followed Rei into the hallway a while ago. They were gone for a while before the others left."

Makoto just shrugged. "Maybe they made up."

Usagi shook her head. There was something wrong with this whole scenario.

She was deep in thought when Michiru spoke to her.

"Oh, hello, Michiru."

"Are you alright, Usa? You look like you're bothered by something."

The blond shook her head. "I'm fine. I was just thinking."

Michiru nodded. "Have you seen Haruka lately? She left to get drinks a while ago and didn't come back."

"I think she went with the rest of them." Usagi turned to Makoto. "Still think they're having sex?" Michiru raised and eyebrow, but didn't question the woman. She was known to be odd at times. A blond head turned back in Michiru's direction. "I don't know where she is, but I have a feeling she's somewhere with Minako, Rei, Yuuko, and Kei."

Michiru frowned. "Why would they be together?"

Usagi shrugged. "I have no idea, but I don't have a good feeling about it."

"Stay at my place tonight."

"No, thank you. I already told you I'm not having sex with you, Kei."

The teen frowned. "I'm not asking you to have sex with me. I don't want you going to your place tonight. That crazy woman knows where you live. I won't ask if I can stay with you, but I'm asking that you'll stay with me. At least for tonight. Please?"

Minako smiled. "Kei, I'm fine. I don't need your protection." The blond ignored the nostalgia she felt this conversation bringing.

Kei grabbed the woman's arms. "I know you don't. You're a lot tougher than I am, anyway. I just want you to be safe, and she can't find you if you're at my house."

Minako closed her eyes and willed the nostalgia away again. She didn't need to think about how Rei always said those words to her. "Kei, I'm fine." She opened her eyes and saw the tears in his. She sighed, cursing her weakness. "Fine, Kei. I'll stay at your place tonight."

The teen brightened immediately. He grabbed her hand and led her to the car that waited for them outside.

Setsuna looked out the window at the pair of idols getting into the car. "Oh, Rei. What have you done?"

She sighed and started back to the party. It wouldn't do good for both the idols and the managers to go missing.

"Hey, Michi. You miss me?"

"I did. Where did you go? And you came back without drinks."

Haruka grinned. "You're so observant. Want to have drunk sex tonight that badly?"

Michiru hit her lover on the arm. "What happened? You were gone too long and you came back without what you left for."

Haruka's grin widened. "I had to go break up some kinky girl sex in the hall way."

Usagi frowned. "You can't mean Rei and Minako."

Makoto grinned. "Told you."

Haruka looked at the other blond at the table. "Yep, those two. Ripped dresses, messed up hair, scratches. It was quite the scene."

Makoto and Usagi laughed. Michiru crossed her arms. "Haruka, they weren't really having sex, were they?"

Haruka lost her grin. "Nah. It's just easier to start bad news off with a joke."

Usagi and Makoto's laughter died instantly. Usagi shakily asked, "What happened?"

Haruka looked at the smaller blond and wrapped around Michiru's waist, getting strength from her lover's proximity. "They got into a fight."

"You can sleep in my bed; it's more comfortable. I'll sleep in the guest room down the hall. I'll be in there. If you need anything, just wake me up.

"You can wear this to sleep in. There's a bathroom in there. I don't have girl shampoo, so you're gonna have to smell like me tomorrow. You already know where the kitchen is. You're welcome to anything in there. I can stop you by your house tomorrow to get some clothes."

Minako nodded. Kei was being really generous by letting her stay at his place. "You don't have to go out of your way for me. I'm fine. I can get something to wear from the studio tomorrow."

The teen nodded. "All right. Well, there's cable on the tv. You can order pay-per-view, if you want. I don't really know what you'd like to watch."

Minako shook her head. "It's okay. I think I'll just go to sleep now."

Kei nodded again. "Okay. I'll let you get ready for bed then. Good night, Minako."

The blond smiled. "Good night."

Kei was about to leave, when he remembered something. "Minako, my birthday's almost over." She nodded and waited for him to continue. "I never got to find out what my gift was."

Minako smiled at his pout. "Come here."

The teen walked up to the woman. "Yes?"

"Close your eyes." Minako reached into her purse and pulled out a key ring, with a single key attached. "Here. It's at my house, but you can go get it later."

Key's eyes widened when he saw the key. It was for a Jaguar. "Minako! You really shouldn't have! Why spend so much on me?!"

The woman grinned. "I wouldn't have the money without you, so I figured I may as well spend it on you. It's my thank you."

Kei shook his head. "You should be saving this money! You could by a house with that much money."

"I'm aware of that. I wanted to get you something that you could actually use, though. Your manager told me that you don't already have a car, so I bought you one."

The younger idol frowned. "You could have gotten me a Suzuki. Or a Honda."

"I highly doubt Arai Kei would be driving around in a Honda. Look, just take it, okay. Please?"

Kei eyed the key wearily for another moment before he took it from her hand. He pulled her body tight against his, being careful not to hurt her wounded ribs. "Thank you, V-chan."

Minako never got to say a word before his lips crashed onto hers.

"Minako started it?!"

"She said she did. She was really upset about it. Poor girl. It's hard for the woman you love to tell you you don't love them." Haruka gave a pointed look to Michiru. The latter hid her face behind her champaigne glass, not saying a word.

Usagi felt like crying. "I didn't think they would fight. If I had known I would have stopped Minako from going out there."

Haruka turned sympathetic eyes on the worried woman. "Don't worry, kitten. You couldn't have known. It's not your fault for not knowing any more than it is Rei's fault for speaking or Minako's fault for acting on her pain. Shit happens. That's all."

Usagi nodded, but it did nothing to calm her nerves. "Are they alright?"

"They're both fine. They've done more damage to each other in the past than they did tonight."

Usagi's eyes fell to the table. She willed her tears away. She wouldn't cry in front of all these people. She would hold her head up high, smile, and dance the night away. Later, when she was alone in her bedroom, she would cry for her best friends who had no idea how to deal with each other. Not now. Not when she was at a party.

Her friends gave her pitying looks, understand exactly how she was feeling at the moment.

Usagi raised her head, smile firmly planted on her face, and only a little too exaggerated. "Makoto, come on, let's go reclaim our lovers on the dance floor."

The brunette blushed. "What lover?"

Usagi waved her hand. "You think I don't know about you and Ami? Don't take me for a fool just because I'm a little slow at times, Mako."

The blond grabbed the hand of the shocked woman and led her to the dancing blunette woman and raven man.

Haruka looked at her lover, disbelief evident on both of their faces. "Did you know?"

Michiru shook her head, a little too stunned to speak.

Yuuko looked over at the sleeping woman in her car. Sighing, she got out and carried her into the shrine. She put the miko down on her futon and cradled her head in her lap.

"You're not going to believe this when you wake up, love."

Minako's eyes widened when she felt the proof of her boyfriend's arousal against her stomach, but he held her too tightly for her to get away. She closed her eyes, remembering the embrace of a man. It had been a very long time. She had kissed Kei many times during the course of their relationship, but had never let things get this heated.

The teen willed himself to pull away from Minako. She saw his arousal in his darkening grey eyes. "Minako, you're not drunk are you?"

The blond shook her head.

"Good." He didn't explain himself before he connected his mouth with hers again. Leaning down, he grabbed the backs of her thighs and picked her up; holding her against his lean frame. He carried them over to his king-sized water bed and gently lay her down in the middle, reluctantly breaking the kiss in the process.

Kei took a good look at the woman in the middle of his bed. Her hair was slightly disheveled, her lips were red and swollen, her tee was tight and riding up her belly, and the bottom of her dress was around her hips, having ridden up when she wrapped her legs around him. Kei groaned, looking at her gold thong and the wetness that was evident there.

Resisting the urge to taste her, he leaned down and kissed the belly button he had wanted to play with all night. Minako put her fingers in his hair and pulled his head up to hers.

"Kei, we shouldn't do this."

The teen looked saddened. The fact did nothing to lessen the evidence of the arousal on his face. "I know. But if we're going to stop, you're going to have to forcibly stop me. I can't stop myself." He brought his lips down to hers again and his hands found the sides of her stomach, just below the bandage that wound around her torso.

Minako groaned and wrapped her arms around his neck. He brought his lips down to her neck, being careful not to leave a mark. His hands inched upwards, bringing her shirt up in the process.

Minako wanted to tell him to stop. She wanted to say that she didn't want to do this. She wanted to not want to do this. She wanted to be with Rei. That thought helped her find her voice. "Kei, I can't. I don't love you."

The teen leaned up and looked at his girlfriend's eyes. He smiled sadly. "I know. I don't expect you to. You still love her, don't you?" His hands played with the exposed base of her breasts. He wasn't moving them upward anymore.

The woman found that she could not meet his eyes. "I do."

Kei kissed her again, much more gently than before. "I know. I see it in your eyes. Let me ease your pain, beautiful." He pulled her shirt up, exposing her breasts to the cool air around them, watching with joy as the nipples hardened. His fingers teased them for a moment before he leaned down to suck one gently.

Minako threw her head back in pleasure. She never could deny sex. Even her love for Rei couldn't teach her that.

"You're awake."

Rei's sleepy eyes fell on Yuuko's smiling face. Then she felt the pain. "Why does my body hurt?"

Yuuko continued stroking her lover's hair. "Because you and Minako decided you wanted to go to war at the party. And because you're sobering up."

Rei squeezed her eyes shut. Her jaw hurt, her ribs and stomach hurt, and her head was throbbing. None of it compared to the pain in her cheeks, though. She started to bring a hand up, but Yuuko stopped her.

"Don't touch. I cleaned the wounds while you were sleeping. I don't need you to mess with the bandages."

Rei frowned. "What bandages?"

Yuuko let go of the miko's hands and continued stroking her hair. "The ones I had to put on your face. It looks like Minako scratched you."

"Why did we fight?"

"I don't know. I wasn't there. You two were in the hallway when we found you."

"'We'? Who is 'we'?"

"Me, Kei, and some blond dude. It seemed like he knew you guys, but I'm not sure who he was."

Rei nodded. "That must have been Haruka. And he's a she."

Yuuko blinked a few times. "Wow. Good disguise." Rei tried to sit up, but quickly realized it was a futile effort and lay back down. Minako had hurt her ribs pretty badly.

"Where's Minako? Is she okay?"

The taller woman shrugged. "I don't know where they took her. I was just trying to get you out of there before anyone saw you or you decided you wanted to pull more of her hair out. She was about as good as you are, from what I could tell. You were in a stalemate when we saw you."

Rei nodded and closed her eyes. She was hurting, she had hurt Minako, and she didn't remember any of it.

"Are you okay with this? I should have asked before, but, are you?"

Minako nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine."

Kei nodded as well, and moved down from licking the blond's belly button. He would have time to play with it later. He pulled the remnants of the woman's dress off of her hips and set his mouth to work, not bothering to remove the remaining piece of clothing from her body.

He smiled when her back arched and her nails dug into his shoulders.

Yuuko marveled at the feel of her girlfriend's hair as she slept. "I should ask her what she uses on it. It's so soft."

The model smiled at the face in her lap. "She looks so much like a warrior princess. Battle wounds, bruises, scars. And she's so beautiful."

She grabbed one of Rei's hands. "But her skin is so soft. I would expect her hands to be rough, but they're so dainty and soft. Her skin is better than mine."

Yuuko returned her gaze to the miko's face. "I wonder what happened between her and Minako. Mina said she was her best friend; why would they have been fighting like that?"

"Oh God!" Minako's back arched painfully upwards as she reached her peak, chest heaving even as she relaxed back onto the water mattress.

Kei climbed up to lay beside his girlfriend. "Was it good?"

The exhausted blond nodded, too worn out to speak.

The teen smiled. "Good. I've never done it before so I didn't know if I'd be any good at it."

Minako blinked at the other idol. "You've never given head, or you've never had sex."

"Neither. I never had a chance."

Minako sat up. "You never had sex before?"

Kei shook his head. "Nope. I haven't really had a girlfriend before. I didn't have time for one when I first became an idol at fourteen, and my manager watched me too closely for me to ever have a one-night-stand."

The blond blinked. "Seriously?"

Kei nodded. "Yeah. I still haven't, really."

Minako blushed. They never did finish. She straddled the boy, kissing him roughly in the process. Her hands ran over his exposed chest, feeling his still developing muscles. Her hands reached the button on his pants, and she opened them expertly. She pushed them down his hips as far as her arms could reach along with his boxers, smiling into the kiss when she felt his hardness poke her in the thigh.

She grabbed him, breaking the kiss as he moaned.

"Kei, have you ever gotten head before?"

Ami's eyes widened as Makoto told her the details of her friends' night. "Maybe they weren't ready to see each other yet."

"Probably not."

Kei groaned and grabbed the blond head between his legs, ceasing it's motion. "Come here."

Minako crawled up the boys body sensually, pausing to lick and kiss places along his chest. As soon as she was close enough, he crushed his lips against hers and rolled on top of her, minding her wounds. His fingers teased her nipples again as he positioned himself between her thighs. He broke the kiss and looked her in her eyes.

"You have one last chance to say you don't want to do this."

Minako reached down and grabbed him, positioning him at her entrance and raised her hips, bringing him inside of herself. Kei closed his eyes and groaned. He moved her legs in the direction of her head and ground into her. Minako ignored how similar this situation was to the one she had with Rei and lost herself in the sensation and her hands in Kei's hair.

Rei held the ice pack gently on her jaw.

"What on Earth were you two fighting about?"

"I have no idea. I don't remember anything but waking up bleeding with bruises."

Yuuko shook her head. "That's insain. You two are so violent. I don't know how neither of you were screaming in pain."

Rei shrugged. She didn't remember any of it, but she figured it had to do with their pain tolerance.

"I think you should get your bones checked to see if anything is broken."

Rei shook her head. "Nah, I'll be fine. Nothing hurts bad enough to be broken."

Yuuko was unconvinced, but didn't argue. "Just don't do too much strenuous work."

"Stop worrying. I heal fast. I'll be looking like the day you met me in less than a week, I'm sure."

Yuuko looked uncertain. Rei kissed her on the lips. "Relax. You'll see."

A/N: Ugh. Straight sex. Eww. And I hope it's evident that Minako did more damage to Rei than Rei did to Minako. Mina's still really insecure about not having time to train, but she's almost as good as sober Rei who trains everyday. And Mina's such a horn dog. I really can't let her say no to sex. But unlike Rei said last chapter, she's actually doing better than Rei. (Rei ran off and had sex a little over a month after they broke up. Minako's been holding out for almost three. They don't know that about each other, though.) Just had to point those things out.

All of that being said, my poor OCs aren't feeling much better than M/R. They have feelings too, so try not to hate them too much. I'm not exactly nice to them. They just want some M/R loving. Anyways, let me know what you think. I feed off of reviews. Don't let me starve :P

(And did anyone else catch the hint of the issue between Michi/Haru? I can't have them living in paradise while everyone else is suffering, now can I? And Mako/Ami are having their own problems, as well. I'll probably deal with those in another fic, though. I have too much going on in this one already.)

One last thing before I end the longest A/N I've ever written in my life. I don't like Mamoru. That was kinda harsh, lol. I don't dislike him per se, but I can't write him. His name will show up because he's undeniable a part of Usagi, but I will always put him in another part of the room for some reason because I don't feel like trying to get inside his head. In this, while Michiru was talking to Usagi and Makoto, he was dancing with Ami. Just making sure that everything is clear.
