A/N - A bit late, considering I ended up editing this like seven times to alter a few consistencies with the rest of the story. Natasha seems to be figuring something out in her past self (though her future self already knows it lol) and Rei and Minako are hopefully as adorably together as ever.
PART FIVE
------------------
Rei put her hands on her hips, raising an eyebrow at the snort coming from Minako's slumbering form.
"Minako, time to get up."
There was a gurgle before Minako made a goofy smile and murmured about her feet.
Rei rolled her eyes at the sight and grabbed the blanket that her girlfriend slumbered in, yanking it off because she was starting to get impatient.
"Wha!" Minako whined and curled into a ball as she tried to regain her lost warmth, glaring at Rei's amused face.
"Mina, I have to go to school," Rei reminded her. "I have a class, remember?"
Minako grumbled and pushed herself up to sit. "So what the fuck did you wake me up for?"
Rei turned around; her body clad only in lacy black lingerie that made Minako suddenly feel a little happier about waking up so early. Rei's ass was... one of her favourite things to admire. She felt very naughty.
Rei grabbed a pair of navy corduroys, neatly pressed and very tight fitted. She wiggled into them with little effort. Minako frowned, her heart sinking as the delicious view of Rei's long, smooth legs of utter delight were covered.
Fucking mornings.
"Besides, you're already at school, so what's the rush?" Minako grabbed the covers to pull back over her body, feeling a small chill and not really very protected from the large thin t-shirt she had on. It still smelled like her volleyball practice from yesterday too.
"It's eight already Minako, my class is at eight thirty. And you asked me to wake you up in the morning last night, remember?"
Minako wanted to retort 'no, you actually made me forget a lot of things last night' but held it in knowing Rei would get an ego boost out of it.
Minako grumbled and tightened the warm blanket around her body, noting how the only mess in Rei's single dorm room was that of Minako's gym bag, runners, underwear, bra, socks, really short spandex shorts and... oh yeah, she was wearing her smelly volleyball shirt.
Why did Rei have such early classes? All of Minako's started after one o'clock, and she was taking a grand total of two classes compared to Rei's over scheduled six.
"So?" Rei asked as she when through a few of her neatly folded shirts until she approved of a black spaghetti strap and a red cardigan.
"Huh?" Minako snapped from her little fantasy of kissing Rei's unearthly anatomy and crinkled her nose when she felt like sneezing.
Rei grabbed a brush and went through her hair, combing out a few tangles before putting it down.
"Why did you want me to wake you up?" Rei repeated, leaning close to the mirror and applying something a little glossy to her lips.
Minako's eyes widened and she jumped out of bed, unintentionally letting Rei see a flash of her privates while she jumped and ran to her gym bag on the floor.
Rei flushed as she saw Minako's bare ass in clear view while she hunched over and searched for something.
"I got you a present!" Minako excitedly told Rei, standing in front of her with a grin and flushed cheeks, a small white box in the palm of her hands.
Rei hesitated before taking the box, unable to refuse Minako since the girl looked so hopeful.
"What is it?" Rei looked at the box, already assuming some type of jewellery.
"Open it!" Minako demanded. "It's your graduation present."
Rei smirked suggestively at Minako, "I graduated seven months ago, and you already gave me my present for that."
Minako laughed, her cheeks turning a little red at the memory and her hands giving Rei a quick shove.
"Just open it!"
Rei complied, gasping softly as two simple but elegant pink pearls shone at her.
"Mina... I love them," she sincerely stated, a fond memory of her mother wearing similar pearls tickling at the back of her mind.
"I knew you would," Minako moved closer and cupped Rei's cheek, pressing their lips together.
Minako leaned back and fixed Rei's cardigan for no reason, her heart soaring at Rei's acceptance of the gift.
Rei leaned forward and kissed her again before turning around and putting the box on her dresser, taking her current earrings out and replacing them with her new pearls.
Her violet eyes were shining with something Minako hadn't noticed for awhile. Of all of them, Rei was the one growing up too fast, and Minako did not understand for life of her why someone who knows they had an eternity to be an adult would let go of their youth so quickly.
Minako grabbed her underwear from the floor and slipped them on before collapsing back onto the mattress. The day was certainly looking good so far, it was nice to see a bit of her cute Rei-chan as well as her sexy Reiko.
"Well, I should get to class," Rei checked the time on her slim wristwatch, and then sat on the corner of her small bed and slipped on a pair of leather stiletto boots.
"Do you have to go?" Minako pouted.
Rei rubbed Minako's thigh gently, giving her a bright smile.
"Yes I do," Rei stood up and grabbed her laptop and purse before walking up to the door. "Don't forget to lock the door when you leave."
"Alright, see you at the Crown later my sexy Pyro."
There was a snort from Rei before the door closed and Minako was left alone in Rei's small dorm room.
--
"I'm just saying," Makoto teased Minako and waved her straw at her, "you've just got way too many hormones in you and you only just got together with Rei-chan so I understand that you guys need alone time, even if it's on school nights-"
"Mako-chan!" Minako flushed brightly, "keep your voice low!"
Makoto laughed. "You know I'm just teasing. In fact, I wish Ami would let me crash over on school nights when I go visit her, but she's incredibly busy with residence and all. And I guess it's totally not proper to have sexual relations in a hospital, huh?"
Minako huffed. "And what do you mean we just got together, we've been dating for, like, eight months or something."
"Nine months and twelve days," came a dry reply as Rei slid next to Minako in the booth, brushing her hair from her eyes.
"Yeah," Minako turned back to Makoto, "that long."
Makoto chuckled, and suddenly Ami and Usagi walked in, the former looking rather tired while their princess seemed joyous as always and jumped next to Rei with a squeal.
"Mamo-chan surprised me with roses today!"
Ami rested her head on Makoto's shoulder and closed her eyes while Rei struggled slightly from Usagi's death grip on her neck.
"U-Usagi-chan! Let me breathe you idiot!"
"Mou! Rei-chan, I'm happy!"
"So, why are you hugging me!"Rei snapped, only causing Usagi to grip tighter.
"Because I haven't seen you in so long! Ami-chan and Mako-chan and Mina-chan always visit me!"
"We see each other everyday Usagi-baka!"
Minako snickered and Makoto shook her head fondly at the familiar scene before them.
"Really," Ami said sheepishly, "you're both University students."
Rei stopped her struggle at that comment and flushed as she realised the scene that just played out. She ended up glaring at Minako who snorted with amusement before Usagi stuck her tongue out at her childishly.
"Ne, Ami-chan," Usagi said, taking her arms off of Rei and leaning forward with worry shining in her eyes, "are you holding up okay? You look very tired."
"I'm fine Usagi-chan," Ami smiled reassuringly, "I helped out with an emergency at the hospital last night, so... that's why I'm tired."
"Wow!" Usagi gaped, "a surgery? That's amazing!"
Ami blushed off the compliment and shook her head, "it's nothing really!"
"But..." Usagi frowned, "didn't you and Mako-chan take out that youma last night?"
"Hai?" Ami said softly, wondering why Usagi was mad.
"Ami-chan!" Usagi pouted, "You should have contacted one of us if you had to help out with a surgery as well!"
"It was easy for me to handle both," Ami started.
"Maybe, but you are exhausted."
"Usako!" They all turned their head to see Mamoru smile and walk over. "Hey girls, how are you?"
"Mamo-chan! You came early!" Mamoru chuckled as Usagi leaped up and latched onto his arm, waving to her best friends, "I'll catch you guys later."
"Later," They all chimed, watching the royal couple comically exit while Usagi nuzzled into Mamore's arm and he turned a dark red in either embarrassment or arousal.
You could never really tell with those two.
"Come on Reiko," a huge grin formed on Minako's face, "we're going shopping!"
"Again?" Rei groaned, "but we went yesterday!"
"No," Minako nudged Rei to step out from the booth, "We were walking and I happened to see some nice clothes. Today we're shopping."
Rei stood up, and helped Minako out of the booth, making an exasperated face that Ami and Makoto snickered at, offering their sympathies before the inner guard went on their own ways.
They walked down the street, hand in hand, receiving a few odd looks but nothing they weren't used to. Except usually some adolescent boy would have uncomfortable pants upon seeing them, today there seemed to be none. It was a nice change, actually.
Minako leaned over and placed a brief kiss to Rei's cheek, winking at and elder couple who frowned disapprovingly at them but flushed nonetheless.
"Why so uptight?" Rei asked Minako and adjusted her purse on her shoulder. She felt Minako lean in closer to her arm.
Minako sighed, "Do you really want to know, Rei?"
Rei paused when the dark tone of Minako's voice registered in her brain. Then she continued walking until they stopped at an intersection, waiting for the cars to stop so they could cross. Her silence was awkward and the grip on their hands tightened.
Lowering her voice so no one around them would hear, Rei hissed.
"Was it someone from your philosophy class or someone from your sociology class?"
Minako felt her eyes burn, but then she swallowed down her own guilty tears before causing a scene in public and turned the tables on Rei by leaning into her ear and refuting.
"I don't know Rei. Was it that guy or his wife you met at the Christmas party or that girl you already fucked last week?"
Rei's anger instantly dissipated and she snapped her eyes forward as the lights came on and the crowd brushed across the street with hurry.
Instead of going left where Minako's favourite shops were, Rei pulled her girlfriend to the right, her strides getting quicker.
Minako kept up and soon they were blurring through a few more intersections until they made it to one of Tokyo University's residencies and up to Rei's dormitory.
The second they were inside, Rei pressed Minako up against the wall and kissed her fiercely, angrily. They had both hurt each other and tried to make up for it right now in their rushed touches and rough kisses.
They needed each other, and even though they knew it was all somehow okay, the betrayal still lingered and the need to feel at peace again was too strong.
Rei felt Minako push her back and lead her to the bed where they fell.
Minako bit on Rei's neck and dragged her nails down Rei's side before desperately fumbling with the zip and button on her trousers.
Rei gasped and groaned from the pain of those nails, returning the favour in kind when she flipped Minako over and squeezed down tightly on her breast, glaring in pleasure as Minako winced.
Minako let out a cry, her eyes shutting form the pain and her nails now gripping tightly onto Rei's back.
Spinning Rei back around, her next attack meant by forcing her knee to Rei's groin stopped when they made eye contact and saw the pain and hurt in each other's gaze.
It was startling.
Minako saw one of her tears drop to Rei's cheek and she acknowledged the absolute shock on Rei's face from their mutual loss of control with shock of her own.
It hit them for the first time just how easy it was to be hurt by the other. How scary it was that they had control on each other's emotions.
It was a frightful thing indeed to realise.
Rei pulled Minako down and hugged her tightly, not knowing what else to do.
Minako pressed her eyes to the fabric on Rei's shoulder, drying the tears out and returning the clingy embrace.
Really, they were just... girls.

Natasha Rivers
Rei fucked me against a wall.
Rei fucked me against a wall.
Rei Hino fucked me against a wall!
Last night!
Okay, I can apparently think of nothing else except how that wall pressed to my back and how my orgasm just... took me.
I need to talk to her, touch her.
I... feel great but...
I don't know how to explain it.
Empty? Lacking?
In need of more sex with Rei (preferably not one-sided)?
Perhaps I should call her.
--
--
--
Rei felt her body relax in the warmth of the hot tub of her new apartment. She had bought it a few months before graduating with honours, something she was very proud of, with most of the money from her savings account.
All of the money, actually, from her savings account. But it was totally worth it because in four years she would be the Senator of Tokyo and she would have one of the best penthouse apartments in Tokyo with Minako and she would make twenty times the money she did now with her desk job as a novice lawyer.
Plus, Minako had eagerly announced they had to 'celebrate' Rei's new home which Rei was not at all against.
"Should I open a white or red?"
Rei let took a breath of the scented bath, the bubbles smelt like peaches.
"Red."
There was a clinking of glasses and Minako yelled back, "1956 or 1978?"
Rei closed her eyes and stretched her legs out in front of her.
"The seventy-eight, we'll save the other for another occasion."
That wine would be used in four months when Minako got her first job over a dinner Rei was going to make her; of course Minako still didn't know she was going to get her preferred job as choreographer in the Revolt music company she interviewed with. The blonde assumed she would be getting her modeling gig instead.
Rei opened her eyes as Minako padded into the bathroom, eyes on Rei's exposed neck as mouth curved into a perverted grin.
Rei closed her eyes as a glass of wine was handed to her and Minako leaned down to kiss her forehead.
"So you met with your father today, what did he say this time?"
Rei reached out her free hand, some water dripping to the tiled floor, and placed it to Minako's hip, taking a sip of her wine at the same time.
"He heard about me graduating with honours, third in the school, and wanted me to go for a dinner, what do you think?" Rei's hand trailed along the waistband of Minako's sweats and she then tugged the drawstring holding them up to which the pants fell from her hips and her thong revealed it's pretty pink self.
Okay, so perhaps the reason she did so well in school was because her psychic ability made it astoundingly simple for her to know what to study and what to do.
Minako giggled, tipping her own wineglass so the liquid burned a path down her throat. She put her empty glass aside and then gave Rei a smirk, lifting her tank top off.
Rei's eyes accepted the invitation to explore, and she immediately roamed them across Minako's model figure.
Soldier of Love and Beauty indeed.
It was amazing how her beauty exponentially grew every year. Minako was still the same old Minako but as their powers started to manifest, Minako was quickly becoming a walking lust machine who anyone could possibly fall for from simply laying eyes on.
Yeah, damn, Rei knew she was lucky there.
"Doesn't he remember disowning you four years ago?"
Rei snorted, eyes focused on the breasts revealed when Minako unhooked her bra, and feeling her arousal finally kick in when the pink thong made a new home on the floor.
Rei finished off her wine and placed it on the side, spreading her legs as Minako settled in between them and leaned back onto her in the hot water.
"Mmm, that feels good." Minako referred to both the hot water and Rei's bare breasts touching her back.
Rei closed her eyes and took in the smell of Minako's hair, feeling a heat spread in her heart.
"Did he get to you?" Minako asked softly, turning her body around, she ended up snaking her arms around Rei's waist and pressing her face above Rei's breasts.
Rei kissed Minako on the top of the head and reached up to tighten the loose hairclip that kept her long black hair up before resting her arms on the side of the tub and sighing,
"Yeah, he did."
They were silent and Minako's nose scrunched up against Rei's skin. She brought one of her hands up and lightly tickled Rei's erect nipples.
"I'm pathetic, aren't I?" Rei felt the familiar swirl down in her stomach that indicated how turned on she was. Minako knew her buttons all too well.
Minako pressed her lips to Rei's skin now, sliding her hand down Rei's side.
"What did you tell him?" Minako pushed herself up now so she was kneeling and leaned over to kiss Rei's collarbone.
"That I had no time... that I was with you..."
Minako kissed along her neck now.
"Oh, I bet he liked that," Minako laughed.
Rei laughed as well, "He still thinks you're a 'cross-dressing freak pervert who is going to hell like me for our sick infatuation'."
"Like Haruka-chan?" Minako teased.
Rei chuckled.
"Can you imagine, Haruka-san meeting my father? He probably wouldn't be able to tell she's a she though. Haruka-san would find that hilarious."
They laughed some more, and Minako joined their hands together and lay back down on Rei's chest.
"Though Haruka may be a cross-dresser," Rei started, "she's not a freak pervert, more flirtatious I guess. He actually got that one on the nail about you then."
Minako scoffed and gave Rei a friendly punch to her shoulder, "I am no freak pervert. I'm just a pervert!"
Rei cackled, "I can't wait until he finally finds out who you are, it'll be priceless."
Minako giggled, "Why is that?"
Rei shrugged, "how about we stop talking about my grumpy old once-father and start the celebration you promised?"
Minako giggled, "Okay. Close your eyes."
Rei complied, closing her eyes and waiting. No psychic thought came into her mind to warn her and she heard nothing suspicious except some splashes of water.
Minako was moving and the kisses Rei thought were going to resume along her jugular never did.
Suddenly Rei felt the strong lick of Minako's tongue under water stroke her clitoris.
She gripped the tub and jerked, her cheeks flushing as Minako pushed her tongue in and started to suck.
Rei let out a moan. Oh Kami that felt so good.
"Uhn... ahn... mmm..." She started to rock her hips a bit and felt a finger go inside her to take place of the tongue while Minako's head came up and she took a deep breath for air.
Rei immediately pulled her close and kissed her, groaning in protest as Minako broke off the kiss to nibble down her neck.
"Mina..." Rei's hips wanted to move faster and reach a climax.
Minako pulled her finger out after curling it, leaving Rei hanging just before things started to explode.
Rei was confused at the stop until she realised Minako's intention as her lover kissed down the valley of her breasts and used her hands to massage Rei's breasts.
Rei bit her lips to contain from making too much sound as Minako and her hands went back under water and the tongue re-entered her aching sex.
The senshi of fire's head landed with a small thump to the rim of the hot tub and her hands left the side of it to cradle the blonde head between her legs under the water, close to begging for more.
Keeping her lower lip firmly between her teeth she eventually lost her attempt to remain silent and let out a long sultry moan, gasping when her body hit ecstasy and rode out the pleasure Minako had just given her.
"Mina..."
Every penny of her savings account was definitely worth buying this apartment. Thank you and god bless you grandpa for the inheritance!
Minako came back out from the water, taking another breath of air and smirking at Rei who tried to calm her beating heart.
Rei was reminded of the a vision of the past, one where she and Minako had been bathing in a Lunar hot pit alone, kissing under the light of the earth when all of a sudden Minako tried to straddle her and slipped on one of the seaters with her foot – much to Rei's then amusement.
Shut up, Reiko, is what the Princess of Venus had declared when she emerged from the water with a glare and flush to her features. Her long blond hair had come out of the water in such a way that moment that Rei had stopped laughing before Mina had told her to.
Then when Venus felt the similar change in their personal atmosphere, she followed through with gently straddling her subordinate and fellow noble Princess with a renowned grace. So slowly that Mars remembered feeling the water start to bubble from her own arousal until Venus touched initiated touching their lips, starting what would be one of their longest evenings.
"I love you Reiko," Minako giggled, as if her mind was sharing the same memory.
Rei closed her eyes as Minako continued placing sweet little kisses along her neck, nibbling with her teeth.
"Hold on," Rei caught her breath and smiled down at Minako. "I want to do it like this."
Minako felt Rei's hands turn her shoulders and lead her back into their previous position, her back to Rei's front.
She closed her eyes and started to rub her hands on Rei's thighs, feeling the feather touches of Rei's fingers as they swept her wet hair aside and followed the gentle curve of her neck. Soon plump lips followed the path left by soft fingers and Minako tensed as a hand moved from her neck to her breasts in a tickle.
Her breathing was laboured and when Rei let out a soft moan near her ear and pressed her nose to Minako's, Minako felt all of her self-control disappear when her breast was grabbed and Rei pulled her even closer.
"Nn!" Minako felt her hips buck when familiar fingers cupped her sex.
She felt like she was part of a dance, perhaps the tango. If that was the one where the dancers were tense and moved with deliberate motions but suddenly burst with a pose of deliverance.
Rei was like a tango of passion.
Tango of passion, that would be a good song- "uhn!"
Minako felt the hand on her breast leave gently and grab her own hand under the bearably hot water. Rei's hand guided it behind Minako's back gently between their bodies, letting Minako's fingers trail over her skin on the way down.
When Minako touched Rei where Rei wanted it, she felt Rei's hand guide her fingers in. Rei bucked behind her and Minako felt her lower region swirl with imagination.
"Reiko... I-"
Rei hushed her with a gentle "sshh" near her ear and adjusted her body more comfortably behind Minako, bending her legs more to let Minako's fingers in deeper.
"Uhn," Rei groaned behind Minako and then started to stroke her fingers over Minako's centre.
Minako leaned her head over Rei's shoulder, her arms coming up to pull Rei's neck down for a kiss.
When Rei felt Minako desperate enough she pushed her fingers in and led them into a similar rhythm with their hips.
They broke their kiss with gasps, Minako trying to move faster but Rei keeping it slow.
"Minako," Rei kissed her hair and nuzzled it, "I want to hear you say my name."
Minako groaned when Rei's fingers curled inside her and she let out a breath, "Rei..."
"More," came Rei's request, her fingers plunging in again.
Natasha Rivers
"Miss Rivers, sorry I missed your call. How can I help you?"
Oh god, a phone does her voice no justice.
"Are you free to get together Ms. Hino, I mean-"
She cut me off with a chuckle, "I could definitely get out of the office this evening, unless you think it's too late?"
"Not at all!" I hope I don't sound too desperate there, but I probably do. "Would you like to come over... for the night?"
I'm dreaming of feeling her naked body against mine while she makes me feel like she did a couple days ago, and I know the real thing won't disappoint.
She's silent on the other side, and I'm eagerly waiting for her answer. It's eleven at night Tokyo time I believe, so I'm sure she will spend the night.
"I'm sorry, I can certainly come over for a few hours but I'm afraid I won't be able to spend the night."
"I see... when should I expect you over?"
"About thirty minutes, I'll be done soon."
She clicks off and I feel very disappointed. Maybe I can convince her to stay? Or perhaps she has a business reason for not wanting to stay the night.
She is going to have sex with me, though. Right?
{{}}
I remember our second time just as well as our first. She came twenty-seven minutes after we talked over the phone, greeting me with a very alluring smile.
She had a pencil skirt on this time around, still in the colour of black with a charming purple blouse.
I wanted to rip them off of her, but she was the master in our little game of puppet and I didn't even want to try and change anything about her.
Even today, I would follow her whim.
She has this effect on me, and perhaps that is what they call love.
I wanted to hear something from her, you see. Perhaps hear her voice tell me I was beautiful or even hear her tell me I amuse her. Anything to simply hear what she thought of me.
She made me lose all of my thought process when we started making out in the bedroom.
I tried leading her to the bed, but we fell in a heap on the floor, and she wouldn't let me take off anything more than her shirt while I was stripped naked to the carpet.
Not that I minded, I just... I felt unimportant.
I felt like...a call girl.
And it is funny I fell like that, because that is essentially what I was.
I was her outlet, I figured. Actually, I realised this after that night.
She tried to keep me at bay, tried not to make the sex emotional and simply something to feel.
But what did she want to feel?
I got pleasure, did she?
I enjoyed it, did she?
I fucking loved it. Did... she?
These questions always plagued me as I stayed in Tokyo to do my 'documentary' until I figured out the truth.
You see, even though they were married, Rei was scared of Minako.
They both were scared of each other.
They were scared of losing control, but they never realised they had already lost it.
********

********
"Uh..." His face contorted and he groaned, grabbing a hold of something, anything, near him and ending with fistfuls of carpet. Carpet was hard to grab.
"M-Minako, god..." He was pretty damn close, and the incredibly gorgeous blonde stroking the length of his penis made him want to bow before her and surrender himself.
But he was Yoshiro, aka Yoshi-kun, the heartthrob of young girls and boys all over Tokyo since his single last week, the man who made girls scream his name. And here he was, completely submissive to perhaps the hottest girl alive and not at all thinking twice when he begged her, "I'm almost... there... just... Ah!"
And then his sperm erected and Minako stood up from the floor where she had been lying beside him. She was incredibly beautiful.
Yoshiro's jaw dropped as Minako started to leave his dressing room.
"T-That's it?" He questioned, feeling a flush hit his cheeks.
"What's it?" Minako raised an eyebrow, pulling on the sweater she had taken off when they started making out earlier. "I have a song to record for two-thirty at the studio."
"We're in the studio," he protested, suddenly feeling vulnerable in his exposed state and pulling his pants and boxers back up, "and it's only twelve!"
Minako shrugged, "sorry kid. I got to bounce, it was fun though. You squeal very cutely Yoshi-kun, and you might want to clean that up?" She winked and walked out.
The door closed and he suddenly wondered if this was karma. But really... that was the best orgasm he had ever experienced in his life, and he was not ashamed to admit it... to himself.
--
Minako made a stop to wash her hands quickly from her meeting with Yoshiro before meeting up with Rei. She flipped out her phone to call Rei since they were to meet at Rei's law firm for some lunch.
"Hey Mina," Rei's soothing voice picked up after one ring, "Are you here already?"
"Not yet," Minako said softly, "but I'm walking down Ishouben, what do you want me to pick up for you?"
"Oh," Minako giggled as Rei sounded embarrassed. She probably forgot about the eating part of their lunch date. "You can pick between the pasta booth or the kebab one, I don't mind."
"Okay, see you soon."
Minako looked around the busy food market, spotting that the kebab booth was not as busy as the pasta one and deciding to get lunch from there.
In fifteen minutes she had a box of four meat and vegetable kebabs in her hand and entered the building of Taikoken: Laws of Japan made right. It was a cheesy name, but currently the best branch in Tokyo and even though Rei had been there for only a year she had made her name rather large and thus got an office on a higher floor than other newbies.
Minako took the elevator to the tenth floor and smiled when she noticed Rei's balding and seriously emotionless large boss, the head lawyer of the trade firm, standing outside the elevators.
"Good afternoon Kasanama-san," she winked at him and he smirked slightly, returning her wink and walking by her.
"You as well Aino-san."
Minako had gone out for a dinner with him and his wife alongside Rei last month, and it amused her to no end how well Rei and her boss got along simply because they both seemed to have the same personality.
Turning a few corridors since Rei was still new and her office one of the 'bad' ones to the back, Minako's smile dropped when her fiancée was spotted leaning against a wall with a girl whose butt Minako thought a bit too big leaning a bit too much into her Reiko's personal space.
To make matters worse, a guy whose teeth were too charmingly and annoyingly white and whose chin was comically chiselled – in Minako's humble opinion – leaned next to Rei on the wall and gave her one of those smiles while saying something to her that seemed to amuse all three of them into chuckling.
Minako decided that she should make her presence show, and she walked forward with her grin broadening as Rei's eyes met her own, a soft smile on her tired face.
"Hey Reiko," Minako's voice made the two office-sluts straighten their backs and flush slightly, but smile and greet her nonetheless.
"I'll catch up with you two later," Rei told them, leaning off the wall and to the door located a few inches from her spot.
The door closed after they were both in and Minako went ahead to sit on Rei's lap instead of the free chairs opposite her desk.
"I got kebabs because the pasta line was too long," Minako said, opening the box.
"I have some soda in the bottom drawer," Rei handed Minako a napkin and took a bite of her first kebab.
Minako opened a fruit soda can, not bothering to check what flavour, and leaned over to take a bite from the kebab Rei held out. She put the can to Rei' slips after she had swallowed the first bite, and just as Minako swallowed her one first chew, both of their communicators beeped from their wristwatches.
Minako and Rei groaned, getting up and pressing the button to see the face of Luna on the small screen.
"Hurry everyone," Luna said with no panic but some seriousness, "Usagi-chan and Mamoru-kun are caught up with some new Youma. Meet at Kayujen Park, theres about twenty-five of them."
Rei and Minako left Rei's office with quick steps.
Rei turned to the boss's receptionist, "Hey Kiyo-san, I just got a call that one of my friends met in an accident, let the boss know I'll do my hours tonight instead."
The receptionist nodded, confused but writing the note down as a reminder.
------------------
-------------------
------------------
Mars smiled when she felt Venus's fingers start to braid her hair, the feeling was calming and soothing.
"I thought you liked my hair free and open," Rei closed her eyes to savour the loving and gentle touch, "what was it you called it? Wild, I believe."
Venus giggled.
"Well, Princess of Mars, you should not assume things. You see, if I didn't braid your wildly beautiful hair, then I would not be able to undo the braid tonight for my own pleasure."
Mars felt her hair fall loose around her face again, her body turned to see her lover look at her. Just looking, but in such a way that it couldn't be described.
"Come here," Minako demanded, her eyes hooding when Rei took a step into her personal space.
"Mina," Rei leaned forward enough to feel like their breaths were the same.
"I'm ready, Reiko." Minako said softly, wrapping her arms around Rei's waist. "I'm sorry I made you wait. I was afraid... but now, I don't understand why I was ever afraid."
"Mina," Rei repeated the name, and her eyes glistened with some moisture as she brought her hands to cup Minako's cheeks, her thumb caressing the full lower lip.
When their lips met, it was different from every other time. It was the mutual acceptance of their destiny.
Moirai.
