Traveling Soldier

Rating: M

Pairing: ReiXMinako

Two days past her eighteenth birthday a dark haired young women was waiting for the bus in her ACU's. After a while the dark haired beauty got bored and walked into a café and sat down in a booth contemplating her thoughts. Not long after her arrival a luminous young blond with a bright red bow in her hair approached and asked for her order. The blond notices the dark haired girls blush and assumes she's a shy one so she gives her a smile. The dark haired girl smiles back.

"I'm Minako." The blond says still smiling. The soldier blushes slightly and answers.

"I'm Rei, umm do you…do you think you would mind sitting down for a little while and talking to me? I'm feeling a little low." The blonds smile widened and she answered.

"I get off in an hour and I know were we can go." Rei smiled and nodded as the blond returned to work.

After Minako got off work she took Rei down to the pier. It was light and breezy Rei closed her eyes and took a deep breath then sat down next to Minako.

"So.. " The blond started. "Your in the Army?" Rei smiled and nodded, that bit was obvious considering she was wearing a uniform.

"Well I just joined..I'm leaving for basic tonight." The blond smiled.

"That's amazing you must be pretty brave." Rei scoffed and said.

"I don't feel very brave right now." Minako scooted closer and took the dark haired woman's hand.

"I think you underestimate yourself." Rei smiled.

"I..I bet you have a boyfriend but I don't really care. I don't have anyone to send a letter to. Since my grandpa…. Would you mind if I send one back here to you?" Minako smiled and nodded.

"Yeah you can totally send me a letter." Minako pulled a pen and paper from her purse and wrote her name and address down for the dark haired soldier. The two women stayed and talked until the very last moment possible. Rei looked at her watch and sighed.

"I gotta go my bus is coming." Rei said sadly. Minako nodded and blushed a little as she quickly leaned in and placed a gentle yet speedy kiss onto Rei's lips.

"Write me." Minako said as she stood up pulling Rei up along with her. Rei smiled and caressed Minako's hand while she nodded.

"I will." Rei turned grabbing her bag with her free hand and lifting Minako's hand up she kissed the back of it. Minako blushed and smiled. Then Rei was gone onto the bus and driving away. Minako didn't know why but she cried. She had only known this woman for a few hours but she couldn't ever see herself holding the hand of anyone else. Her friends all told her she was to young for her that she shouldn't bother waiting for the love of a traveling solider it never worked out. Minako smiled and nodded but didn't listen to a word they said. Telling only her best friend Artemis the truth.

"Artemis our love will never end. I'm just waiting for her to come back, then I'll never be alone. I cant wait until I get a letter telling me she's coming home." Artemis smiled but didn't say anything.

Minako got off work and ran home, straight to the mail box. Flipping through the junk mail and other letters Minako noticed one from Rei and squealed. Looking at the front she saw it was sent from Oklahoma. Sighing she said.

"Rei must be in Oklahoma for basic training."

Rei continued to send letters often and Minako wrote back continuously. Then the letters began to come from Afghanistan and Minako got nervous when she realized Rei was now in a war zone. Rei wrote to Minako about how the blonde's heart might just be loving everything that Rei was scared of. In one letter Rei wrote.

*Sometimes when its getting really rough over here I think of that day sitting down at the pier and I close my eyes and see your pretty smile. You don't have worry hun but I wont be able to write for a while.* that letter made Minako very scared for her love and she cried thinking about her time with Rei and how soft the dark haired girls hands were. All her friends didn't understand. Usagi and Makoto continuously said she was to young for Rei. Ami told her it wasn't logical to wait for the love of a traveling soldier. Minako just told them that her and Rei's love would never end and she would wait for her soldier to come back again and she would never be alone once she got the letter saying her soldier was coming home.

Minako hadn't gotten a letter from Rei in a while but she tried not to worry Rei had told her it would be alright. So the blond put on her choir uniform consisting of a nice pair of black pants and a red shirt that said. 'Juban High School Chamber Choir'. Sighing Minako pinned the section leader badge onto her shirt and was off to the Friday football game at her school. Everyone was very excited for the rivalry game about to happen the entire town had shown up, and in no time a prayer was said and Minako along with her choir sang the national anthem. Once everyone was seated a man approached the microphone and said.

"Folks would you bow your head for a list of local Afghanistan dead." Not long after the list was read there was a girl crying under the stands, a choir shirt and section leader badge on. The entire list had been read, one name read and no one really cared, but a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair. Minako cried vowing never to hold the hand of someone else. Everyone had said she was to young for Rei that she shouldn't wait for the love of a traveling soldier. Minako couldn't stop crying, the blond knew she would always love her traveling soldier but the realization that she would never ever receive that letter she was waiting for the one telling her that the love of her life was coming home to her.

The blond was once again down at the pier softly crying remembering the brief moment in time when she was actually with her love, her soul mate. The one person she had ever really wanted to be with but had never had the chance. It had been almost two months since she had heard Rei's name at the football game. All of her friends were very worried about her. She spent most of her time at school, work or at the pier. Usagi and Artemis would often try to set her up on dates with a lot of different men and women but Minako wasn't interested she just wanted her Rei back. She would give anything to have her soldier back. Sighing Minako looked up and noticed it was once again dark. She had spent the entire Friday at the pier just thinking about Rei and how much she missed her, wishing things had been different and fate would have let them be together. Slowly she stood and turned. The blond startled when she saw a figure leaning against a nearby post. Minako wondered how long the person had been there, then began to get frightened when she realized she was pretty much cut off, the dark figure was blocking her only exit off of the pier. Minako got her courage and began to walk past the person. Minako sighed when the figure let her pass. The blond was almost home when she realized that the ominous dark figure was following her!. Minako looked at her house a few blocks away and contemplated running but instead she did something daring. Stopping under a lamp post Minako turned and said.

"Stop following me!" Minako noticed the figure had stopped just out of the ring of light coming from the lamp.

"Go away." Minako said. The figure started to turn around and then she heard a voice one she never thought she would hear again.

"I just wanted to make sure you were ok." then Minako was running as fast as she could toward the figure.

"Rei!" She yelled. Minako tackled the dark haired woman to the ground continuously kissing her face. "Where were you? They said you were dead? How come you haven't written me? I've missed you so much." Rei giggled a little and started to answer.

"I was in Afghanistan but I got hurt, there was a mistake and I was filed as "killed in action" and when they realized the mistake they decided not to bother changing it since I didn't have anyone on file to notify anyway. They just concentrated on getting me better. I woke up for a minute about a month ago but the pain was to intense they decided to put me back in to a coma."

"A Coma?" Minako asked.

"Yeah chemically induced coma, so I could heal faster." Minako leaned back and asked.

"You were hurt? How?" Minako stood and Rei stood with her lifting up her shirt in the process.

"I was shot, along with the rest of my squad. I was the lucky one, the only survivor." Minako looked down at Rei's stomach and saw three large scars. "After I was all healed up they let me out. Honorable discharge." Rei said. Minako lifted her hand and softly caressed Rei's stomach, feeling the scars. Rei sighed and wrapped her arms around Minako. Minako felt Rei's skin noticing how cold the dark haired girl was.

"Rei your freezing. Come on, you can stay at my house if you want." Rei didn't seem to get a choice as Minako was already pulling her towards the house and through the door, up the stairs and into a bedroom covered in many different shades of white and orange. Rei smiled at the bright room that was so Minako, then the dark haired girl blushed when she realized she was in Minako's room. Just her and the blond.

"Where are your parents?" Rei asked as Minako was pulling pajamas from her dresser.

"I don't know some conference or something.. their hardly ever here." Minako walked up to Rei and reached down pulling up her shirt, off, and over her head.

"Minako what are you doing?" Rei asked when Minako had her shirt.

"I'm helping you." Minako said. "I can tell your still sore from your injuries." Rei sighed as she attempted to cover her self since her lacy black bra didn't cover much, Rei blushed but she knew Minako was right it hurt to lift her arms above her head. Rei avoided looking at the blond Minako giggled and reached up softly caressing Rei's cheek and turning the dark haired girls head towards her.

"I'm so glad your back, I missed you so much." Minako whispered. Rei smiled.

"Really?" The blond nodded.

"I didn't think I would ever smile again when I thought you were dead." Rei pulled the blond into a hug.

"I missed you, I thought of you every day. I…I love you." Rei whispered. Minako leaned back with a bright smile on her face and leaned up pulling Rei down towards her into a kiss. There lips brushed softly at first but soon Minako's passion flared and the blond pulled Rei closer to her, Rei's arms now wrapped around the blonds waist while Minako's were around Rei's neck. Minako nipped Rei's bottom lip softly then ran her tongue along it. Rei gasped and Minako took the opportunity to slowly slip her tongue into the dark haired soldiers mouth. Rei had never really kissed someone before, the dark haired girl was drowning in passion. Minako's lips her tongue were driving her beyond anything she had ever felt. Then the blond was backing up, Rei was following and when she reached the bed Minako laid down pulling Rei down with her and immediately back into a kiss. They stayed that way for a while, kissing, allowing each other to learn the feel of the others mouth completely. After a while Rei appeared to be in some pain and Minako realized she was holding herself up a bit so she wouldn't squash the blond, and with her previous injuries Minako figured she must be in pain. Gently Minako pushed Rei back onto the bed and carefully straddled the dark haired girls hips. Rei's breathing was slightly labored and got increasingly so when Minako reached down with her hand and softly caressed Rei's hardened nipple through the black lacy bra.

"Minako..I don't know..are you sure you want to do this. You don't have to, we can get to know each other more." Minako shook her head.

"I feel like I've known you all my life Rei. When I thought you were dead, it tore me apart. I want to be with you in every way…forever." as she said this Minako lifted her shirt above her head tossing it across the room, then she reached behind herself and released her silk white bra. Rei held her breath. 'Oh my god she is so beautiful like a modern day Venus.' Rei thought. Minako reached down and undid her jeans once they were unbuttoned she placed her hands on Rei's stomach lightly tracing the scars there and lowering her hands she then undid Rei's jeans as well. Minako smiled when she realized Rei's breathing had increased drastically. Minako lifted up and pulled Rei's pants along with her panties off and threw them over the side of the bed. Then she discarded her own and sat back down groaning at the feel of Rei's bare skin touching her own. Minako could feel herself getting moist when she sat back down on Rei touching her fully. Rei was really breathing hard now her eyes shut tight. Minako noticed this and leaned forward.

"Rei." she whispered a hairs breath from the dark haired girls lips. Rei didn't respond except for a little whimper in her throat.

"I love you." the blond whispered, once again Rei didn't respond. Minako quickly began to feel vulnerable. "We…we don't have to do this if you don't want to…If you don't want me." Minako said quietly looking down at her hands on Rei's stomach. Rei opened her eyes and looked at Minako's face it looked sad, dejected, like the thought that Rei might not want her was to painful to stand. Rei reached up, softly running her hands up the blonds thighs.

"I want you. I want you so much Minako, I just….I was raised in a temple I've never. I've never been with anyone before." Minako looked up into Rei's eyes.

"Neither have I. I just want to be with you." Minako leaned down and softly kissed Rei's lips. Feeling her breast graze Rei's still covered ones. Minako leaned up a bit and asked.

"Can I take off your bra?" Rei laughed a little and said.

"You have me almost completely naked and now you ask to take of my bra?" Minako blushed a little. Rei laughed again and nodded.

"Yes you can." Minako smiled and reached behind her dark haired lover releasing Rei's breasts Minako immediately reached down taking one of Rei's already erect nipples into her mouth, sucking lightly as Rei groaned out her pleasure.

"Minako." Rei whispered her hands caressing the blonds back and arms. Then Rei pushed the blond up following her into a sitting position Rei took possession of Minako's lips. Minako pulled Rei close and wrapped her arms around the dark haired girls neck, loving the feel of the skin to skin contact. There was one word for Rei's body. Fire. It was molten heat making Minako feel like she was about to melt. The blond suddenly cried out in ecstasy when Rei's hand wandered lower gently stimulating her clit. Rei smiled as she kissed up the blonds neck and whispered in Minako's ear.

"Your so wet Minako." The blond nodded.

"Rei." the blond whispered weakly. "I want you..I want you inside of me." Rei gulped a little nervous, but she maneuvered her fingers to Minako's entrance and slowly inserted two fingers. Minako whimpered a little and put her head onto Rei's shoulder.

"You ok baby?" Rei asked. Minako nodded.

"Yeah just. Just a second don't move yet." Rei nodded and turned her head the slightest bit. The dark haired girl then began to place light kisses along Minako's neck and shoulders.

"I love you." Rei whispered. "You make me feel things I never thought existed. Just let me know when your ready." Minako nodded and whispered.

"ok but slowly." Rei gradually began to move her fingers in and out. Minako moaned quietly and it wasn't long until the blonds hips were moving along with the rhythm, and quiet moans turned into loud sexual whimpers. Rei pulled Minako in to a kiss, light and passionate Minako was so immersed in her pleasure she could hardly participate Rei began to gently nibble on Minako's lips then down to her neck. Minako threw her head back in ecstasy.

"Oh my god!" Minako yelled. "Rei!. I..I'm Com" The rest of Minako's sentence was cut silent by the blonds intense orgasm. Rei blushed as she saw what she had cause Minako's body to do. Rei's hand was covered in Minako's liquids, the blonds' head was once again on Rei's shoulder and her body covered in a thin layer of sweat. Her entire body heaving in an attempt to get control of her labored breath. After a while Minako hadn't moved or talked and Rei was getting nervous.

"Baby? Minako are you alright?" the blond nodded and whispered.

"That was the most amazing thing I've ever experienced. I love you, I love you so much." Rei smiled.

"It was my pleasure." Rei said gallantly. Minako leaned back pushing Rei back onto the bed.

"Oh its not yet but it will be." Minako said with a sly grin as she leaned down to take possession of Rei's lips. The kiss was inflamed a deep passion running between the women. Rei's hands slipped into Minako's hair as the blonds lips slid down her neck and chest caressing and nipping as they went. Rei moaned when Minako once again took the dark haired girls nipple into her mouth, gently licking, nipping, biting and sucking on the toughened flesh. Minako's tongue slid out and lower tasting the salty skin across Rei's abdomen.

"Minako." Rei whimpered out as she pulled the blond back up to her lips. Minako smiled against Rei's fevered lips, and she let her hand wander down the dark haired girls stomach and lower feeling how hot and wet Rei was Minako didn't hesitate to slowly slid two fingers into her. Rei gasped slightly and looked up into the sexy cerulean eyes of her love. She craved it, she craved the touch the feel of her blond goddess inside of her.

"You ok Rei?" Rei nodded and answered breathlessly.

"Yes," Rei moved her hips up against Minako's hand. "Uhh harder." Rei whimpered as Minako smiled and allowed her fingers to comply. Rei's hips met Minako's thrusts aggressively. Minako leaned down with a smile at watching Rei's pleasure, the blond softly kissed her girl on the lips.

"I would dream about you, about us, about this. While you were gone. I would pray you would return soon so we could have the chance to be together like this. I love you, and I always will." Minako whispered. Rei groaned in pleasure as she tightened around her blond lover.

"Mina..Minako I I." Minako smiled.

"Shhh its ok Rei just relax just let yourself go." The blond soothed and moments later smiled as she heard the unmistakable sounds of Rei climaxing beneath her. Rei took a deep breath in an attempt to control her ragged breathing.

"I love you" Minako whispered against Rei's neck. Rei sighed and held Minako close.

"And I love you." Rei whispered back.

"I'm so happy you came back to me, my traveling soldier."

"not traveling, not anymore. I'll be here for you from now on." Rei whispered as she leaned down for a sweet and gentle kiss, knowing it was the beginning of many more to come.
