A/N: I have to say this, I love my reviewers! You guys rock, seriously.

Da Pyro's Love: MUST. WRITE. FLUFF. I tried, but it just didn't work out here. Sorry. And thanks. Being a leftie is hard as idk what, but I like it.

xXMiMiXx: YAY! YOU MADE A SMILEY FACE! This one will probably make you more like :'( so I'm glad the last one made you smile.

Jedi Caro: "Oh Setsuna" haha that's what he said! (Did my attempt at a joke work? Fail? Okay. :/)

Fireandlove: Setsuna hasn't had sex in over 400 years. That's more than enough control, don't you think lol. And thanks!

the-fanofanime: thank you soooo much! I laugh every time I read it. Haruka all stone-faced like a father, "Have you had sex with my daughter?" just to ask "What do those tits feel like?" Haha, I love writing her.

Disclaimer: see previous chapter.

"Good morning, Sets!"

"Good morning, Minako. Was everything okay last night?"

"Yeah. My ribs are healing up nicely, too. Do you know how Rei is?"

"No, I don't think anyone has talked to her yet."

Minako nodded and squinted at the woman. "Setsuna, something's different about you."

"What do you mean, Minako?"

"I'm not sure. Are you okay?"

Setsuna nodded. She was a little sore, but other than that she was fine. She smiled, thinking of the source of her pain.

"Setsuna! Oh my God! Who was it?!"

The older woman blinked, surprised by the outburst. "What?"

"You had sex last night! Who was it?"

The mage blushed. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Then why are you blusing?"

"I'm not."

"You are! Oh my God, I can't believe it! Does Haruka know?"

"There's nothing to know."

Minako crossed her arms. "Stop lying to me. You're not even good at it. Who was it?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

The blond frowned at her manager. "Fine, be that way. Don't tell me. I'm gonna go call Rei and make sure she's okay."

"Hello?"

"Yuuko?"

"Minako?"

"Why are you answering Rei's cell phone?"

"Why are you calling Rei's cell phone?"

"I was trying to make sure she was okay. I got out of line last night."

"She's fine. She's been sleeping a lot, though. You hurt her pretty badly, Minako."

"I didn't mean to. I'm sorry. Can you tell her I'm sorry and ask her to call me when she wakes up?"

"I can do that. What happened last night? Rei said she doesn't remember anything."

"She doesn't?"

"I don't know if she does or not, but she said she doesn't."

"Please don't take offense to this, but I'd rather talk to Rei before I talk to anyone else about what happened."

"Fine by me; it's your relationship. But let me clear this up now. Hurt Rei again, and I'm coming for your ass, Minako. Our friendship be damned."

"I understand, Yuuko. May I ask what your relationship with Rei is?"

"You'd do better to ask Rei about that one. I don't think it's my place to tell you about her relationships. I have to go, though. I'll tell her what you said."

"Alright. Thanks, Yuuko."

Minako sighed as she hung up the phone. There was a hostility in her and Yuuko's conversation that never existed before.

The idol walked back into Setsuna's office and sat across from her.

"What happened, Minako? Did you talk to Rei?"

"No, I talked to Yuuko. She said Rei was sleeping."

"Yuuko is with her?"

"Yeah, and answering her phone." Minako bitterly remembered how Rei never let her answer her phone.

"Hmm. Did she say how Rei was doing?"

"She said I hurt her pretty badly. I didn't mean to. I didn't even think I did that much damage."

"You should never underestimate yourself, Minako. Especially when you're acting on your pain."

The blond nodded. "Do you know what's going on with Yuuko and Rei?"

"If you don't, then you had best get that information from Rei. Sober Rei. Don't worry about what she said last night."

Minako nodded again. "I'm trying not to. It hurt, though."

"I'm sure it did. Try not to take it to heart. This is probably why Rei was trying to avoid you for so long."

"Yeah, but I'd rather have her tell me about her pain than not have her in my life."

Setsuna nodded. "Minako, do you want to take the day off?"

She smiled as a blond head nodded. "Get out of here. There's nothing you need to worry about for today."

Minako smiled gratefully and stood to leave the office.

"Hey, beautiful."

"Hello, Kei."

"Are you alright?"

"Im fine."

"Where are you going?"

"Home. Sets gave me the day off."

The teen nodded. "Was I okay? Last night."

Minako smiled softly at him. "You were wonderful."

He smiled brightly. Minako studied it for the first time. He really did resemble his father. Or Mamoru with no color. The blond chuckled. Rei was right; he did look like a bleached out Mamoru.

"You feel better? Your ribs looked a lot better this morning."

"Yeah, they're fine. They're only a few scratches now. They should be just bruises by tomorrow and gone by the next day."

Kei whistled. "You heal fast."

The woman shrugged. "I'm lucky that way. I've been like that as long as I can remember."

The teen nodded and kissed the woman gently. "You disappeared on me this morning. You scared me."

"You should know better than to worry about me by now. I can take care of myself." Minako looked away from the other idol and fought down the memories of saying those words. "I just needed to go for a walk. I needed to clear my head."

"I understand that, but you could have at least let me know."

"I didn't want to wake you-"

"You could have left a letter."

"I didn't have any paper-"

"A text message."

"Alright, I get it. I'm sorry I worried you. I came back, didn't I?"

Kei smiled and stroked her hair. "You did, V-chan. Just promise that you'll always come back. Don't ever die on me again."

Minako sighed. "I'm not going to die, Kei."

He looked at her. "Promise me."

"I promise."

"Minako, where are you? Answer your phone! I need to see you. I have something that will totally be worth your while to see. Call me back when you get this."

Haruka hang up her phone. "I don't get it. She would never ignore both of us."

Usagi shrugged. "She's busy. Be patient."

"You're one to talk. All I heard last night was 'I can't wait to show Minako' and 'oh my God what will Minako think' and 'I really, really, really, can't wait to show Minako.'"

Usagi blushed a little. "So? I mean, I still can't wait, but we have no choice, right?"

"When did that stop you from complaining?"

Usagi frowned. Haruka was right. "What the hell is she doing? She needs to pick up the goddamned phone!"

"Let me see your phone."

"Why?"

"Please?"

Minako handed the device to her boyfriend. He promptly turned it off, put it in his pocket and told her that he had confiscated it for the day.

"You're not going to spend the entire day with me by waiting for her to call. I demand your full attention. It's not like she's even a worthy distraction."

The blond stopped walking and crossed her arms. "She's still my best friend, I still love her, and no matter what happens between us I'm not giving up on her. Now give me my phone back."

Kei mimiced her stance and stared her down. "Absolutely not. Keep pestering me and I'm going to break it."

Minako's eyes widened, but she was unsure if he was serious. "You wouldn't!"

"Try me."

"Her phone is off."

Yuuko stroked Rei's hair. She loved the feel of it. "Guess she doesn't want to talk then."

Rei frowned. "She obviously wants to talk. I need to apologize to her anyway. I made a fool of myself last night."

"You didn't make a fool of yourself."

"I don't remember fighting the girl who has been my best friend for over six years, or what I said to cause the fight. I don't even remember how I got home."

"Relax. I'm sure Minako will tell you as soon as she can."

Rei nodded. "Yeah, I guess. I'm sorry about your dress."

The model waved it off. "It was disposable. Don't worry about it." She was lying, but her girlfriend didn't need to know she had to spend nearly 300,000 yen to cover the damages.

"I still feel bad. I keep owing you things."

Yuuko smiled. "Well, next time I make you make it up to me, let me know who's on your hate list. I really don't need to drag a beat up miko around in my car all the time."

Rei dropped her head. "I'm sorry about that too. You didn't have to bring me home. One of the others could have."

"Don't be silly. You were my date and my responsibility. Besides, that gave me a reason to stay over here again."

"The circumstances were different than last time."

"You were drunk out of your mind, did something you can't remember, passed out in my car, and had me to carry you here where I held you all night as you slept. Not too different, if you ask me."

Rei blushed. "I suppose. I can't help feeling I ruined your night, though."

"Oh, you did. And my 400,000 yen dress. But having you in my arms and getting to run my fingers through your hair almost makes up for it."

Rei looked over her shoulder at the woman. "Almost?"

Yuuko grinned. Her fingers made their way into the front of Rei's jeans. "I'll let you make it all the way up."

"No one can reach her?"

"Nope. Rei called me and asked if I had talked to her, but me and Haruka have been calling her all day. We figured you knew where she was."

Setsuna leaned back in her chair. She was befuddled. There was no reason for the woman's phone to be off. "Maybe her phone is dead."

"She's not the type to let her phone die. She never knows when I might call her with gossip."

"It's possible. She wasn't at her house last night."

"Where was she?"

"She stayed with Kei." She heard Usagi's gasp and continued. "He was worried about her being alone and she stayed at his place to stop him from crying."

"She got in a fight with Rei and spent the night with her boyfriend? That doesn't sound okay, Sets."

"You should hear her tell you why she got in the fight. I'm more upset with Rei than Mina at this point, Usa."

The blond frowned. "Well before it was Rei who fell off the face of the Earth and Minako who was looking for her. Now no one knows where in the hell Minako is. When I see them again I'm going to crack their heads together."

"Calm down, Usagi. They're having a hard time. I'll help you try to find Minako."

"Alright. Bye Setsuna."

"Good bye, Usagi."

Setsuna disconnected the call and looked through her contacts. Finding what she was looking for, she pressed dial.

"You eat here often?"

"All the time. One of my best friends works here."

Kei nodded. "What should I get?"

"Everything is good when she's here. She's the best cook in Japan."

"No recommendations?"

"Whatever you like the taste of, she'll make you love. If you hate it, she'll make you love it. If you love it, you'll be ready to go on a honeymoon with it. Seriously, it doesn't matter. Everything is good."

The teen smiled at his girlfriend. "I should get you to praise me so highly."

"It took her almost seven years to earn those words. You have a long way to go, kid."

Their waitress interrupted them, asking for their orders.

Makoto stared at the couple from the kitchen, unsure if she needed to get her vision checked. Either Minako was having lunch with Kei, Ace Kaitou was back, or Makoto was going insain. For Rei's sake, and in small part for Minako's and the boy's, she hoped it was the last one.

"I know where she is."

"Where is she?"

"Well, I'm not sure where she is, but I know who she's with."

"Who's she with?"

"Kei."

Usagi frowned, screeching into the phone. "Why in the hell is she with that brat?! I'll kill her! I'm going to ring her neck with my bare hands-"

Setsuna interrupted. "Usagi, where is Rei?"

"Probably at the shrine. Why?"

"Who is she with?"

"I don't know if she's with anyone."

"Well, Minako told me this morning that Yuuko answered Rei's phone. If you want to get upset, get upset fairly. Rei told Minako to date Kei. Minako didn't force Rei into dating Yuuko."

Usagi swallowed. She did. "Alright, fine. I won't kill her."

"Kei's manager said they went to the mall. You'll probably find her there."

Usagi nodded. "Thanks, Sets."

"No problem, Usa."

"Did you have fun today?"

"I did. You didn't have to walk me home, though."

Kei smiled. "I had to come get my car."

Minako grinned. "I suppose you did."

She opened the door and led him to the garage.

His eyes widened when he saw the beautiful silver Jaguar XJ220 sitting in the garage. "It's amazing. You got me a sports car?"

"Yep. Haruka helped me pick it out. I figured you would want it silver. It matches you so well."

He grabbed her and spun her a few times. "Thank you so much, Minako."

The blond giggled. "Put me down, Kei. It was nothing."

He put her down, but didn't let her go. "It was not nothing. Do you know how much those things cost?"

"I am aware. I brought it." She giggled again. "Enjoy it."

Kei leaned down and kissed Minako, the same as he had the previous night. He had always wanted to have sex with Sailor V on top of his car. He had a sexy ass car; he had his V-chan, and he had sex. He managed to let her orgasm first, this time.

"Hello?"

"I had no idea I'd be talking to you again today. Hello, Minako."

"Yuuko? Where's Rei?"

"She's meditating. Where were you all day? She called you four times and called all of her friends but couldn't find you. She said they were trying to reach you as well."

"My phone was off."

"You said you wanted Rei to call you, and you turned your phone off. What kind of games are you playing, Minako?"

"I was busy all day-"

"Doing what? Setsuna-san said she gave you the day off."

"She did."

"So what were you doing?"

"That's none of your business!"

"Listen, if you want to prance around town all day with your little boyfriend, that's fine. But don't tell Rei to call you and pretend you want to talk to her when you want to go on a date. She doesn't need that.

"You told her you loved her, but now you're breaking her heart. Either make your words match your actions or get the fuck out of her life, Minako."

"Don't talk to her like that."

Yuuko turned to look at the angry miko. "She's-"

"She's on my phone. Let me talk to her. She didn't call my phone to talk to you. I would thank you to stop answering it as well."

Minako smiled a little on the other end of the line. Yuuko wasn't allowed to answer Rei's phone either.

"Minako?"

"Hey, Rei."

Rei sighed. "I'm sorry for how I acted last night. I have no idea what I did, but if my wounds say anything, then I should apologize to you."

Minako frowned. "You're still hurting?"

"A little. My face hurts more than anything. You didn't have to claw my face, Minako."

"You didn't have to pull my hair out."

"I don't remember doing that. What happened last night?"

"I lost my temper. I'm sorry."

"Details. I want to know everything that happened."

Minako sighed. "You went into the hallway and I followed you. I could tell that you were drunk, but your words were kinda harsh and-"

"What did I say?"

The blond closed her eyes. This was hard for her. "You told me that I didn't love you and wouldn't believe me when I said I did. Then you said that you had Yuuko and that you didn't need me anymore because I have Kei. You also said that he looks like a bleached out Mamoru."

Rei chuckled. That was a good one. Yuuko was right, she was funny when she was drunk. "How did we start fighting?"

"You called me a liar and said that I was in love with Kei. I lost it and punched you."

Rei frowned. "You hit me first?"

"I'm sorry about that, but you wouldn't shut up and my feelings got hurt."

"I'm not mad. I shouldn't have said what I said."

Minako nodded, even though Rei couldn't see it. Silence reigned over the line before the blond spoke again. "I still miss you, Rei."

"Don't do that Mina."

"Rei, did you mean what you said about Yuuko? Did you really move on?"

"I don't remember say-"

"I didn't ask if you remembered. Did you move on? Do you love her now?"

"Remeber what I said to you when we broke up, Minako? You never forget your first love, Mi-koi. I could never forget you."

Minako blushed, grateful that the other woman couldn't see it. She always blushed when Rei called her that. "But, do you love Yuuko?"

"I can't say that I do. The majority of the time we've spent together I've been drunk, so I can't even say I know her all that well."

"Rei, have you had sex with her?"

"Have you had sex with Kei?"

Neither said a word. "Minako, do you want to go to lunch with me tomorrow? If you're not busy."

The idol smiled. "I would love to, but I have a photo shoot that will probably run all day. How about dinner?"

"I can't. I already made plans with Yuuko."

"How about you and Yuuko meet me and Kei- nah. That would make me sick."

Rei smiled. "Me too. Just text me when you're free again and I'll try to see you."

"Alright. Rei?"

"Yes?"

"Don't ever forget that I love you, okay? I really do. If you question everything else in this life, don't ever question that again, okay?"

"I'll try, Minako."

"Promise me. Stop being so insecure. You're the only person to have ever won my heart. Don't think that some spoiled brat teen can steal it from you in three months."

"Minako, you two are going to be together much longer than that."

"So? I still love you. Not him. Promise me that you won't ever forget that. No matter what."

"I- I can't Minako."

"Promise me."

"Mina-"

"Reiko, promise me. Unless you have already forgotten."

"I promise, Mi-chan. Just don't forget about me when you're with him."

The miko had no idea how impossible that was. "I should tell you the same. Try not to let her take my place in your heart, Reiko."

"No one ever will, Mi-koi. No one ever will."

"Oh my God!"

Yuuko pulled out her cell phone and dialed 911.

Once she was assure that an ambulance was on it's way, she called Usagi. "Rei's bleeding. There's a knife in her hand. I think she tried to commit suicide."

A/N: This was so hard to write! The ending had me all weepy eyed. I'm such a sap. There were so many scene changes! And this was supposed to be a happy-go-lucky, Haruka teases everyone with her sex jokes filler chapter, but my muse said, "No! You're going to move the plot along and leave Rei bleeding to death at the end!" I'll try to beat her into submission later. The teasing will probably show up in a one shot. I need to write about all the pictures those blonds are taking of everyone. They're worse than the press.

And I looked up the price for the car Minako got Kei, and it's like 12 million yen, aka 160 thousand dollars. Sounds like a bit much for a simple "Thanks for letting me feed off of your fame. Happy birthday" present, right? Add in the virginity loss he got and that's a hell of a present. But Minako hasn't fallen in love with him. Haruka helped her pick the car and pay for it, and used her car connections to get it half off, so Minako only spent like 60 grand on it.

And Yuuko and Rei. Poor Yuuko feels about Rei the way Rei feels about Minako. She wants her to be happy with the one she loves, but wants to be the one who matters most in her life. And she'll do anything to protect her. Yuuko felt the same way about Minako just a few months ago before Mina unceremoniously dumped her for Rei. She's such a knight. I'm so mean to my OCs. Don't hate them too much. They have feelings too.

Lastly, the last sentence in this chapter has been on my mind since the very beginning. It's the only thing I had planned that didn't change from the very first words I wrote of this fic. I didn't think I would make it this far. It's finally time to see "How does Rei deal with the aftermath of her ruined relationship with Minako?" And also, how did the relationship get ruined?
