chapter 5 : Rei's silent confession
The following days things went very well , a little too well if you asked the Senshi. Usagi was pretending nothing ever happened. She went to school with a smile on her face. She went out until late and came home without even being drunk.This wasn't what the senshi had expected.Usagi was acting all wrong. She was serious all of a sudden and never joked around anymore , she never fell , she was way out of character for their liking.
'' Do you think she's finally growing up ?'' Makoto asked. The others didn't look up and just strugged.They had no idea what to think anymore.
'' Maybe crystal tokyo is about to..'' Ami started but was cut off by Minako.
'' No ,can'tyou see it. She's heart broken but she doesn't want us to worry , she wants to stay strong because she thinks the reason Mamoru cheated on her was because she was such a klutz , you have no idea.'' She said gaining everybody's attention even Ami's who looked at her in shock.
'' And how do you know that?'' Rei asked annoyed. Minako was acting weird too the last few days.
Minako blushed slightly as she turned away from the others.'' She wrote it in her diary.'' It was nothing but a silent whisper but enough for the others to hear.
'' You read her diary ?'' Makoto asked a little suprised.'' Usagi has a diary ?'' Minako just nodded as she turned back tot he senshi again as if nothing ever happened and the last words were never said.
'' Anyway , i think Mamoru-baka didn't get punished enough.'' The raven haired girl suddenly said. Nobody looked up and just continued with what they were doing.They knew exactly what Rei meant with those words and they all agreed but this wasn't their fight.
'' Rei let is pass , we need to concentrate on Usagi now and what's going to happento chibi-usa.'' The brunette whispered as she lay her hand on the miko's shoulder.The fire senshi hung her head down.She wished there was something she could do to ease Usagi's pain but they hadn't really spoken to her lately , it was as if she was avoiding them.
Rei just stood up without saying anything else. She could feel the others were staring at her but ignored it and started to walk away. Makoto also jumped up now to follow the raven haired girl but someone grabbed her wrist holding her back. Suprised she looked down at Ami who still sat on the bench.
'' No Mako-chan , let her.'' The bluenette said as she released Makoto's wrist.
'' But..''
'' No Ami is right , Rei has something to figure out herself too.'' Minako said earning odd looks from her friends. The fact that Minako was actually smarting up was surpising them and scaring them at the same time.How come Minako knew so much about Usagi and Rei all of a sudden. There was something they didn't know and the blonde love goddess did know.But then again Minako was the goddess of love.
When Rei reached Usagi's house she hesitated a moment but then decided to go for it and knocked on the door.She had waited a minute or two before knocking on the door again. Maybe they weren't home. Dissapointed she turned around again and walked away from the house but stopped when she heard the front door behind her open.
'' Rei is that you ?'' A broken voice asked.The raven haired girl turned back again to look at the small and fragile looking girl. Usagi's eyes were red and swollen while tears were still falling down her face. So much for the strong and independent princess.
'' Usagi..'' Was all the other could stammer because before she could say anything more the small blonde had trow herself into her friend's arms.'' Sshh it okay , let it all out.'' She whispered while she held the crying girl close to her.
'' I...i don't get..it.'' Usagi sobbed.'' I thought..we..were..h-appy.''
'' He's just being a jackass , he doesn't know what he lost , you were too good for him anyway.'' Rei said wondering where all of that came from.
'' Really.'' The sobbing girl asked as she burried her face in Rei's blouse.
'' Ofcourse , no one deserves this. Well he deserves to get hit by a truck but even i am not that lucky.''
'' No , he doesn't deserve it.'' Usagi cried as she pulled away not looking at her friend any longer.'' Mamoru did what he felt like was the right thing to do , maybe i was just foolish to believe someone could actually love me.''
'' Don't say that Usagi , you know that is a lie. There are a lot of people who love you and there are so many guys out there who are dying to go out with you.'' Rei said.
'' Name one.''
Rei thought about it for a minute.'' Seiya.'' She then answered hating the name that came out of her own mouth without even knowing why.
'' Seiya is gone and he isn't even on the same earth again.'' She blonde sobbed.
'' Uhm...I think...well...'' Rei was at loss of words.
Usagi finally looked up at her friend.'' You see , no one on this whole wide world would ever want to date a klutz like me!''
'' I would..'' Rei blurted blushing right after the moment she said it.' Minako had been right..' Usagi's face changed from hurt into suprised and then in something Rei couldn't explain.It was a look she had never seen before.' My god why did i say that ? Oh my god..please let me die now.'
'' I can't believe you just said that.'' Usagi stammered. It seemed she had forgotten all about the fact she had been crying just a few seconds ago.
' Me neither.' Rei didn't know what to do next. She could run away now , pretend she never said it or she could stay and wait until Usagi was over he shock and would probably start yelling at her.
Usagi opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something but then closed it again.Rei couldn't mean it. We were talking about Rei here , the raven haired girl who would always yell at her , who would always call her stupid names like Odango.
'' Osako ..'' Suddenly a voice said causing both woman to turn around and look at a black haired man also known as Mamoru.
'' Mamoru...'' The blonde whispered.Rei knew Usagi couldn't handle this right now , she was too fragile.
'' Mamoru-baka why don't you get lost ?'' The fire senshi asked politely.She wasn't going to lose her temper with him and risk killing the man.
He shook his head.'' Not until Usagi has listened to what i have to say.''
'' Dammit , you ruined it! Now get lost before my fist will do the talking !'' Mamoru was suprised by the tone in Rei's voice. It seemed to be like she was in the middle of a youma battle and Mamoru was the devil himself.
Mamoru decided to ignore the other girl and turned to face Usagi.'' Usako please listen to me , i was drunk..She probalby drugged me too...you know i only love you !'' This sounded to lame that Rie couldn't help it but role her eyes and cough. Not even Usagi was going to fall for that.
'' No if you loved me you wouldn't have cheated on me and you were so not drunk or drugged , i'm not stupid you know.'' Usagi hissed.'' Now go away before i'll kill you myself and if i don't succeed Rei will be pleased to do it for me.''
'' Usako..''
'' Mamoru , go away.'' The blonde begged while turning back to the house.
'' Usako wait !'' He yelled after her as he started following her but then Rei's fist connected with his jaw making him lose balance and fall to the ground. Shocked he looked up at the angry raven haired senshi.
'' I believe she asked you to leave.'' She said as he started to lose his temper with the girl. Angry he jumped up pushing Rei to the ground as he started strangling her.SHe tried hard to push the man off of her but didn't succeed.He was way too strong.
'' How does that feel ah bitch !'' He asked as he raised his fist to hit the scared girl underneath him.Then suddenly someone grabbed his fist and pulled him of Rei. Suprised he looked up to see who attacked him but all he saw was another fist closing in on his face.
Usagi who stood by the door frozen looked at Mamoru who lay knock out on the ground.All she could see was him lying on the streets like a car just drove over him.'' Is he death ?'' Minako asked causing Usagi to snap out of her thoughts.
'' No ofcourse not..but if he is i wouldn't even bother to feel guilty.'' Makoto's voice came.
'' Maybe we should report him to the police and make sure he can never bother either one of us.'' Ami suggested as she walked over to the shocked blonde.
'' Thanks..'' Rei said as Makoto pulled her up.
'' No problem.'' Replied the brunette.
'' Are you okay Usagi ?'' Ami asked. The blonde just nodded and before anyone could ever react she had closed the door not letting her friends come near her anymore. She needed the time to be alone , to think. But she knew that when she closed the door in front of their faces she had banned herself out of their world.
'' What was that all about ?'' Luna asked worried when Usagi entered her room.'' Nothing.'' The blonde lied and fell down on the bed looking at the white ceiling.' Why did Rei say she would date me ? Did she say it to comfor me or because she meant it. I'll have to find out tomorrow.'
Ah...thanks for reviewing , i'm actually suprised there are so many of you who don't like Mamoru , haha..including me by the way.Anyway , i know it isn't the best chapter but okay...please review..
