A/N - I think I finally responded to everyone who reviewed personally, and to those anonymous reviewers: tank you. I hope you like this chapter, it is supposed to make you think a bit more, has some sex in it and I even took a calculated stab at humour.

PART FOUR

-------------------------

Natasha Rivers

Have you ever wondered about aliens? Thought of them as those little green monsters with UFO's and transport beams?

I never wondered. I always thought aliens were silly fabrications. I even wrote in a paper one year at high school that if there is our earth with humans such as ourselves, perhaps thinking of different creatures is getting too out-of-the-box?

Maybe other universes are parallels or similar. Maybe instead of aliens everyone is human?

Maybe earth today was like other planets in the past... maybe... maybe.

Maybe.

There is only one definite conclusion I could ever come to pertaining aliens and other planets or universes:

There are too many possibilities to theorize and explain. No one really knows the truth of it all, do they?

Unless of course 'they' are aliens themselves.

Hino and Aino are aliens.

I am not joking.

Yet... they are human, too. I think.

{{}}

Hino was coming to my room. Tonight.

I had barely slept the night before. Barely eaten, barely functioned – all because of this one realization.

She had left a message for me when I got back to my hotel last night after our strange interview where I learned both Hino and Aino were cheating on each other – from Hino's mouth no less!

She had pulled out and crushed my microphone... her fingers had been brushing my skin in such a way that I could feel the ghost of her touch still linger. That hot breath in my ear... her warning...

What had it meant?

They will stay together no matter what, she said. They would stay married even though they are cheating and know that they are cheating?

Is it for reputations? Is it a Japanese thing? I know one of my Indian friends told me a long time ago that divorce was considered a disgrace in her family. Was it like that? Except these days people – we – don't judge so much of these things. Everyone knew society was surging forward, becoming open-minded.

If girls can marry girls and boys can marry boys across the world without being seen as disgusting, then how does religion still make a difference? Or culture?

I remember a gay boy at my school years ago and how the other boys would treat him like dirt but now those same boys would treat him as nothing more than an equal.

The world was becoming a better place and I often wondered if there would ever be a limit to how peaceful things could get. The last known war was when that inexplicable power circuit happened all around the world, centered from Tokyo, and a strange woman calling herself Galaxia tried to take over the earth or something, but apparently the notorious female vigilantes who wear those slutty sailor outfits had saved us all again with their supernatural powers.

That was what some people said, anyways, and although I myself have seen footage of these 'Sailor Soldiers' I still refuse to believe they could have saved the world. No one really believes it and a report came out a week later explaining how the power outage was caused by a disturbance in the earth's rotation or something.

Steve was kind enough to notice something about me as we went back to the hotel considering I was caved with my thoughts, and kept his mouth shut. I think he flirted with the bell boy... but I'm grateful he wasn't hurt by my reticence.

I spent the day in the hotel relaxing, trying not to think too much on the fact that Hino basically made it obvious she was coming over to have sex with me.

She knew I wanted her and was taking advantage of it, not that I'm complaining. Currently I'm just trying not to eat too much chocolate in excitement.

There is a knock on the door and I jump from my spot, putting the chocolate away and striding over to the door .I did Yoga breaths before opening it to calm myself like I would before a talk show.

Hino... my God. She looked so hot.

Yoga breathing exercise is a failure. Brain malfunction.

She gave me a smirk and walked in before I could step aside, shutting the door behind her and removing her shoes.

I knew, at least, that this was a Japanese thing to do.

I think I`ll always remember the lavender smell of her body as she leans into me then and there so boldly – clear with her intent.

The lower region of my stomach just swirled.

She was going to ravish me, make me writhe for her.

And by God did I ever want to.

"Miss Rivers," She brought a hand to my cheek, looking down at me with those eyes. Those endless black holes of sexy-sexy.

I am speaking dumb. Where is my intelligence?

I am wearing a night slip, a rather slutty one at that. I guess I am kind of obvious in my desire too.

Her nose pressed to my hair and then drifted down my neck until she paused. I feel so turned on, waiting for her to take me.

I could only gasp when lips touched my neck and moved down roughly. The quiet but sure noise of her lips marking my skin made me moan almost as much as the sensation of those lips themselves.

I couldn't believe it. After lusting for someone more than I have ever before I was getting what I desired and it was bliss. Better than the time the hottest boy at school wanted me over the really hot girl everyone else wanted. Then, everyone knew. Now only I do.

I want her so badly. I threw my arms around her neck and jumped her for a kiss, only to have the kiss denied as she turned her head away and simply pressed me against the nearest wall, now sucking the other side of my neck.

What a tease.

I just want those fucking lips to caress me, damn it!

Her hands groped at my body, grabbing my hips up to tighten around her hips and letting out a sound of approval when my legs clenched around her waist. Those hands and lean fingers teased my thighs and pushed my night slip up.

"Mmm...uhn...ah!"

I had done this position before, but usually a man's erection would rub me and much larger arms would hold me. Instead there was the force of her very feminine groin to my own and a very intense feeling in my stomach as the contact was increased by her forceful pressure.

I think I could orgasm if she just kissed me.

Her delicate arms were not as delicate as they looked, and her sculpted shoulders felt smoother than I imagined when my hands slid in the collar of her shirt and gratingly touched.

I let out a moan or five when her left hand snaked in between our bodies and started moving, her right palm was pressed against the wall as she shoved me further into the wall, pinning my body back and forcing my legs wider if possible and tighter around her.

Her waist was so slim that my legs easily met behind her back.

I was wearing no underwear and was relieved as those fingers finally entered my aching spot.

She is so precise with her movements, so deliberate.

She never kissed me, only breathed near me on my neck ear and cheek as my arms choked her neck and my voice cried out in utopia. This was better than that crazy night I had with Toby which I had thought was the best ever and he knew what I liked from experience.

Just how many girls did Hino do like me?

How was her wife treated different if Hino cheated on her so much?

Did they even have... sex? Did they 'make love' or some crap?

How could they stand their infidelity? If I had a wife like Hino – lie Rei – I would not let her stray. Fuck.

I think I'm jealous, but it's hard to be when she curls her fingers like that.

"Uhn!"

She still had full clothes, save for no shoes. The most was the few buttons I managed to get undone on her top and the skin of her rounded shoulders.

Even her collarbone was irresistible.

I begged her not to stop.

Twice.

"Ah...m!"

And then she retrieved her hand and let me off of her.

She grabbed a tissue from a nearby box and used it to clean my wetness on her fingers while she turned to put her shoes back on.

I could only stare numbly as she straightened her collar and turned to me, fixing her buttons.

"See you around, Miss Rivers."

"Wai-" the door closed softly and I felt my heart rate slow down considerably.

She didn't want me to return the favour? I mean, did she already orgasm? I'm pretty sure she didn't.

Did Rei Hino just walk into my hotel room, fuck me against a wall and leave?

I wondered briefly if that was dream.

Well, something between my legs confirmed it most certainly was not.

********

"She's beautiful," Minako murmured as she finally got to hold Chibiusa. It was weird seeing the small curls of pink hair and tiny slumbering features now when they had already seen Chibiusa in her preteens with an appetite similar to Usagi's.

Rei poked her cheek and giggled when Chibiusa drooled.

"She still drools."

They all laughed, Mamoru soon taking his daughter back with a proud smile and sitting on a chair near a tired but clearly happy Usagi.

Crystal Tokyo was but thirty years away.

That is what Chibiusa's birth signified.

"What do you mean still?" Minako teased Rei and poked her side, "isn't she born now, known to drool in nine years?"

"You know what I mean," Rei rolled her eyes.

Ami and Makoto stood exchanging their own whispers while Mamoru and Usagi gazed with altruist affection at their baby girl.

"Want to grab a bite to eat or something?" Makoto asked the other two. They all rolled their eyes and left the room, leaving the 'perfect' family alone.

They ended up just going to the hospital's cafeteria; Ami was very respected as a doctor and the four of them were given good treatment for being seen with her.

"So, how was your honeymoon Mina-chan?" Makoto asked Minako after Ami and Rei had gone to buy the food from the counter, leaving the two alone at a table.

Minako grinned at Makoto with familiar mischief, "Mako-chan, would you like to know the intimate part or the boring part?"

Makoto flushed and stuck her tongue out at Minako, not stopping herself from grinning.

"Is there anything one does on a honeymoon that isn't intimate? Besides, I doubt you would let yourself get bored."

Minako giggled at this true accusation from Makoto and sighed in happy memory of her two glorious months abroad with Rei and no senshi fighting.

It felt like a millennia ago since now Rei was working extra at her law firm since it was the last month she had before starting her public run for Senator.

"If you must know, it was absolutely perfect and fantastic. Rei gave me her undivided attention and I gave her mine, we had lots of sex, the food was great, you know the works. It was the typical cheesy honeymoon but totally awesome and memorable."

A small pink hue popped on Minako's cheeks with perhaps the brightest smile Makoto had ever seen light her friend's face.

"Mah," Makoto sighed, leaning on her chin, "sounds wonderful. The closest thing I've got to a honeymoon with Ami is cooking a romantic evening for her or something equally lame. And this one time she got called in for an emergency right during the good part, you know?"

Minako laughed, "Ami-chan told me she loved your lame romantic evenings."

Makoto flushed, feeling flattered yet embarrassed. "Eh? She did?"

"Hmm, we also traded some secrets. I know all about your little cupcake incident."

Makoto flushed brightly, her jaw-dropping.

"She told you! What? It was an accident!"

Minako waved impishly, "Right. You accidently spilt cupcake batter on poor Ami-chan when she was-"

"Skiing!" Makoto blurted out to stop Minako from continuing her embarrassment.

Minako gasped, her eyes going wide.

"Rei told you about that?"

Makoto grinned in triumph, smugly crossing her arms.

"What were you saying about cupcake batter?" Makoto mocked with a smirk.

They stared at each other with glares, wondering what else their significant other had shared.

They were torn from their intense stare-down when their lovers arrived with their nourishment.

Rei plopped down next to Minako with a tray of a burger, fries and pop – all for Minako, taking a simple bowl of noodle soup for herself.

"What's got you both so angry?" Rei raised an amused eyebrow and exchanged a giggle with Ami who started eating her pasta, sharing it with a scowling Makoto.

"Hino Rei." Minako said accusingly after swallowing her delicious first bite of burger. "You told Mako-chan about my skiing incident?"

Rei's eyes widened and she seemed rather afraid for a brief moment, blushing at the memory of this particular little instance of their honeymoon.

"Mako-chan!" she hissed, "I told you that in confidence!"

"Skiing?" Ami asked with curiosity.

Makoto eagerly elaborated. "On their honeymoon, Rei and Minako went skiing in Germany and-"

"I'll tell Rei about the cupcakes!" Minako cut her off with a flush, really not wanting to be reminded of that ski memory.

Makoto paled, pausing in her dialogue.

"You mean when she spilled cupcake batter on me when I got out of the shower?" Ami asked with feigned innocence, though clearly enjoying the embarrassment she was causing her girlfriend.

Minako let out a laugh, "Yeah yeah! And it turned out she was watching you and-"

Makoto cut her off. "Oh yeah?! Well you totally lost your ski pants and Rei-chan had to-"

"At least I wasn't being perverted!" Minako countered.

"Rei-chan told me you wiggled too much inside her p-"

"I can never eat a cupcake again because of you!"

"I can never wear ski pants again – or use a ski pole – because of you!"

"Hino! You told her about the ski pole too!"

Rei slipped on her nightgown, flopping down on her side of the bed as Minako brushed her hair before the dresser mirror.

"How do you like the new place?" Rei asked. Her eyes closed as exhaustion started to hit her.

They had just stopped a robbery and it was ridiculously easy, but for some reason she was tired. Minako told her it was because she had stayed up too late the night before but Rei refused to believe something small like losing sleep could make her feel so tired.

She was Sailor Mars. She had spent many nights of her childhood without sleep and fighting monsters never feeling such exhaustion.

"I don't," Minako countered with a smirk, "I love it!"

Rei snorted, smiling as she felt Minako's lips suddenly touch her forehead and then her cheek. She had never noticed when Minako had made it to the bed.

"I'm too tired for anything Mina," Rei felt a weight settle on top of her, sweet little kisses placed on her face and hands grooming her black hair and cheek.

"But we've both been busy all week," Minako whined, now kissing down Rei's neck and smirking as Rei let out a small groan and started to rub her hips.

Minako loved the low neckline on her girlfriend's nightgown and let her hand tease the taunting skin it revealed. Rei squirmed a bit.

"I have work... tomorrow..." Rei opened her eyes to a bite Minako placed on her jugular and let out a moan, sliding her hands onto Minako's back and gently massaging her as their lips met in a rough kiss.

"You know what they say," Minako murmured, "A house divided by spots cannot change."

Rei chuckled, a smile growing on her face as Minako frowned, moving away to glare.

"You mean 'a house divided against itself cannot stand' and 'a leopard can't change its spots!'"

"So?" Minako rolled off of Rei and crossed her arms, "What's the fucking difference?"

Rei just laughed some more, Minako's cute pouts not helping her amusement settle.

Minako suddenly pushed her and Rei yelped as she ungracefully fell off the bed and hit the floor – something Minako would do occasionally when the alarm went off too early.

"Minako!" Rei got up, her hair scruffy.

Minako wanted to smooth it out again with her fingers and then grab Rei's head and tangle her luscious hair all over again as they made out passionately. But she wanted Rei to make the next move because then Rei couldn't say she was too tired in the morning because she progressed things first.

She knew how to get what she wanted. See? She was a genius, despite what Rei mocked her about. Totally.

"You killed the mood," Minako sighed. "My flame is out. Oh well, we best get sleep Reiko. You've got work and I-"

As predicted Rei rolled up on her side and leaned over Minako, brushing their noses together before kissing Minako softly.

Minako smiled, finding it adorable how Rei's pride of stamina kept her from backing down from Minako's challenge even if she had seemed like she was going to pass out from being so spent.

The kiss soon escalated and Minako immediately brought her hands to Rei's dark mane of silk, sighing when a thigh slid between her legs.

She slid her arms down Rei's back until they reached her very nice rear, loving the way the Senshi of Mars groaned.

It reminded her of another life, of the Silver Millennium when Mars would groan in such a way after they snuck into the equipment room to fuck. She usually did so when Minako bit that little spot behind her ear.

Rei broke the kiss to raise herself up, grinding slightly and smirking down at Minako who was breathless from the kiss.

"I think you lied about the flame being out," Rei grinned. She bent just enough for her lips to breath in Minako's ear before she purred, "admit it."

Minako giggled, "I need more convincing." She bit her lip to stop from laughing as she slapped Rei's butt. Raising an eyebrow she taunted, "Giddy up pyro."

Rei's jaw dropped, her cheeks turning red and her body freezing from the slap Minako just gave her. The last time Minako slapped her there, she was shit-faced drunk and eighteen. But now it was done with purpose, and very embarrassing purpose at that.

Minako's laughter erupted as Rei just kept staring in shock until she soon found herself smiling at the sight of Minako's joy beneath her. She decided two could play the embarrassment game.

"Okay," Rei wet her lips quickly with her tongue and leaned down until her nose touched Minako's. "But you have to ride me." She said this in as husky of a voice as she could muster, knowing it would either turn Minako on like a fire or make her laugh even more.

Minako stopped laughing, however. She started to feel her heart race in anticipation for what Rei was going to do.

"Mmm," she let out a soft moan when Rei pressed more against here, feeling their breasts touch and lips brush the corner of her mouth.

"How do you want me to ride you then?" Minako played with Rei's bangs and smirked as their noses nuzzled. Rei could be so cute.

"Naked," Rei chuckled, leaning down for another kiss.

Minako turned her head in denial, a coy grin dancing on her face as Rei looked both annoyed and confused.

"Anything you want, if you do something I want."

Rei let out a small sigh, pushing her nose to Minako's hair and taking a long smell.

"Anything it is."

Minako beamed, guiding Rei onto her back and resting on top of her with their legs scissoring.

"Close your eyes," Minako demanded.

Rei obliged, another sigh coming out from her lips.

"Good," Minako's eyes roamed Rei's face, moving down to the elegant curve of her neck and the round slopes of her shoulders. She placed a kiss on Rei's shoulder, her right hand gently gliding down her arm and causing Rei to shiver.

Her hand reached Rei's and grabbed it, moving it to her groin and rubbing.

"M-Minako!" Rei's eyes shot open, wondering what Minako was doing, or planning on doing.

"Relax," Minako purred, kissing her neck gently.

Rei felt herself ease at the assurance, seeing Minako's gentle smile as she opened her eyes again.

"What exactly are you planning?" Rei asked her, feeling her arousal grow at Minako's hooded eyes. She brought her other arm up to massage Minako's back as Minako placed a few more kisses along her neck.

"I want to see you orgasm from your own fingers," Minako said with a blow to Rei's ear while guiding their joint hands back to Rei's groin and pushing it down.

Rei arched slightly, her face flushing.

"I don't think I can do that," she said, not feeling as aroused when Minako was the one doing it.

"That's why you're supposed to have your eyes closed," Minako giggled.

Rei closed her eyes, the rubbing continuing but her body remaining rather stiff.

"Still nothing, Mina," Rei drawled.

Minako pressed her lips firmly against Rei's own, coaxing them to a slow pace. She then broke it off, trailing them along Rei's jaw and then nibbling on her earlobe. She bit the spot that always made Mars groan and heard it come out instantly.

"Imagine I'm the one doing it," Minako murmured.

Rei found it much easier to visualize Minako doing it when the girl kissed her again and then lifted up her nightgown before grabbing Rei's hand again and guiding it back to her centre.

Rei moaned when Minako – no, her own – fingers touched her most intimate area.

"Mina..." two fingers were probing, and Rei heard Minako's shallow breath near her ear to indicate how aroused watching Rei was making her.

Rei relaxed more as she realised Minako actually did want this and was even pushing onto her thigh more as a result.

God, and Minako was wet too. This thought allowed Rei's fingers to slip inside easily, feeling Minako's grip on her wrists move her hand in a gentle rhythm.

"Huh," Rei felt her back arch and she held her breath as the first hits of pleasure started making her hips buck.

"Steady," Minako giggled before kissing her again and moving her hand faster.

Rei could not believe she was getting off on this... it was like she was having sex with herself. She was basically masturbating with Minako's guidance.

She had never masturbated before!

Though she knew Minako had, as well as the others thanks to many of their deep talks. Maybe this was why Minako wanted to see it? She had admitted to Rei before that she often thought of Rei in perverted ways and Rei could tell by Minako's aura when such thoughts were going through her head.

But had Minako thought of her masturbating? She wouldn't put it past her lover if that was indeed the case. The thought of the teenage Minako thinking about her like this before bedtime was strangely arousing. She probably did it before they went all the way with each other. In her bedroom of bright colours and stuffed toys... why oh why was that so sexy?

She was just glad Minako wasn't really into that kinky stuff, unless you count their Halloween costumes. Yet Halloween could hardly count as kinky because they were dressed that way for a party anyways, and sex usually followed parties, right?

Besides, Minako had been extremely sexy in that belly-dancer outfit and the private dance Rei got was very worth the while.

Oh, the thought of Minako's body... the thought of Minako masturbating....

Now Rei understood why Minako probably found this hot.

"You're so hot," Minako was pretty much grinding her and Rei could feel her orgasm coming close. She pulled Minako to her tightly and felt the extra weight throw her over the edge.

"Ungh!" She shook, letting out a high pitched moan, and then felt her body collapse back. Minako was kissing her lips again, though a bit more frantically.

Rei deemed it safe to open her eyes now, her breathing still a little fast. She felt a tug on her wrist and winced as she remembered that her own fingers were inside of her – not Minako's. Minako brought those fingers to her mouth and licked them, making eye contact with Rei.

"Mina..." Rei sighed as that rather skilled tongue travelled her fingers.

Rei felt lips kiss and nibble on her wrist. Minako was being a little temptress, wasn't she?

"Your turn," she challenged. Rei already imagined how she wanted Minako and leaned back down.

"Come here," Rei patted her thigh and watched as Minako straddled her leg, already grinding herself against it. Rei wasn't surprised the woman had gotten so turned on.

"Take off your shirt," Rei slid her hand up Minako's thigh and rubbed her hip, reaching back to put a pillow behind her head.

Minako grinned, bringing her hands to the hem of her short, slutty, night shirt and lifting it up and over her head.

She was predictably naked underneath and Rei had a random vision of a moaning Minako grinding on her three minutes from now.

One would think knowing what was going to happen could sometimes be a spoiler but for Rei it always made the anticipation more worth it. She had to figure out how to get Minako doing what she psychically predicted. She was starting to get used to the fast progression of her psychic abilities and chose to think of them positively instead of negatively.

Her heart raced as the image flashed through her mind and the lovely echo of Minako's voice struck in her eardrum.

Rei sat up and moved back to rest against the headboard, Minako sliding with her and smirking.

"Can you be naked too?" Minako demanded and toyed with the lace above Rei's breasts. She grinned at Rei's flush and groped her breasts, leisurely taking the route to where her gown bunched at her hips and lifting it over her head slowly.

"Put your hands on my shoulders," Rei said. She pulled Minako in a bit closer and tilted her head up to meet Minako's lips in a kiss, both of them gasping for air.

Minako placed a hand to her shoulder and the other cradled the back of Rei's head as she tried to deepen the kiss even more if possible.

Rei saw another flash of the image as her right hand slid along her thigh and stroked Minako's sex. She was already wet and easy to slip inside, the need to hear the gasp she knew was going to come made Rei break off the kiss to see Minako squeeze her eyes and start grinding on her fingers.

"Hah...un!" Minako gasped, her hands were painful in their hold but beautifully so.

Rei tried swallowing the dryness she felt in her throat but it remained dry.

Minako opened her eyes as she started getting used to the rhythm and pulled herself closer to Rei for more security. She started to buck faster.

Rei felt her face pressed to Minako's shoulder and started to place sloppy kisses on her skin, listening to the soft moans that escaped her lover's mouth. Rei took a nipple into her mouth, hearing Minako gasp and then groan in such a way that her resolve for prolonging the orgasm crumbled. She hit Minako's g-spot and the moan came out with no effort of stopping them.

She added another finger and Minako threw her head back and let out the final of her escalating moans. Rei pressed her ear to Minako's heart. Listening to the beating of that heart felt so right.

It was meant to be like this.

It was here that Rei and Minako were not Rei and Minako of the past or the present. They were not Mars and Venus of the past or present.

They just were.
