Chapter 1
Rei's Return
(Wednesday)
It has been 5 year since she's seen home, and god how she missed it she'd forgotten how beautiful the temple was and how serene. Very different from the hustle and bustle of New York City, were she has been living since graduating from high school. She also missed Japan, Tokyo, and most importantly her friends, most of which she hasn't seen since she moved away. But that was to be expected they all had very different dreams and very different lives to go along with them. Usagi has become an elementary school teacher (much to everyone's surprise), her and Mamoru are engaged and living in London, were Mamoru is studying for his PhD in law. Ami of course is a doctor, just finished her first year residency at a new and well known hospital in Tokyo somewhere. Its also no surprise that Makoto is a chef just like she always wanted to be owning her own restaurant, also somewhere in Tokyo, And then there was Minako, then again everyone in the world knew what Minako was up to she was only the hottest pop idol for 4 years in a row, living somewhere in Los Angeles, but never there according to magazines and news. God how she missed her friends mostly Mina they had been best friends, inseparable during the last year of high school, and secretly her biggest crush. Mina and her had always been close but she had always felt something more for her blond haired, sapphire eyed best bud, who had the body of a super model. To bad nothing would ever come of it she was pretty sure Minako wasn't interested in girls let alone her, she would never tell her, she would never let it get in the way of their friendship, ever.
Rei stood at the top of the temple steps contemplating her slightly depressing thoughts when Youchiro came out the front door of the temple.
"Rei!!" he yelled while running forward for a hug. Tossing his broom to the side carelessly
"humph" was the only sound she could make as he swooped her up into a big brotherly hug. 'Gosh he looks different' thought Rei. While looking over the new Temple priest she had know for years and loved like a brother. His hair was brown and shorter then before cut into a style she had seen on Mamoru all the time. And she could see his eyes for once she knew they were gray but she could actually see them now.
"Oh my gosh I haven't seen you in years thanks for coming back I really missed you!!"
An intense depressed feeling socked her in the gut when she remembered why she had come home.
"Well you can't run the temple by yourself besides grandpa left it to me its my responsibility now, you may be the priest but I'm still a miko" she said with a slightly sad smile.
"you didn't have to give up your life ya know I could handle it myself Rei, I know you loved New York and your job, what was it again Jr. Executive of Phoenix Music inc. or something like that" Youchiro said with a knowing smirk.
"yes I know it sounds impressive but all that really mean is I'm an agent"
"yeah for some of the biggest musical names in the world!!! and at the age of 22 that's amazing"
"yeah whatever, so what's with the clean shaven look I can actually see your eyes" said Rei in an attempt to change the subject.
"Well I thought since I'm the priest now I should look a little more like one then a rock star besides I think I look good!! I do don't I" Youchiro said with a little bit a worry in his voice.
"Yes you look great I didn't even know your eyes were gray" Rei responded in a teasing fashion.
"Very funny Rei" Said Youchiro as he picked up a few of her luggage bags she had previously drug up the temple stairs. She followed him towards the temple him talking and chatting all the while about new things at the temple and such. Finally they reached her old room he slid the door open and deposited her luggage on the floor.
"Well this is it haven't moved a thing since you left, I live here still of course but not in the same room grandpa said as the priest I was supposed to take his room when he…. So yeah I live on the other side of the temple now" Youchiro said in a sad voice.
"Well ill let you get unpacked and such dinner is at 7:00 if you want to hang around"
Rei looked at her room wow they really hadn't move anything since she left everything was still here from the bed, desk, and chairs, to the Sailor V and The Three Lights posters on her wall. Rei began to unpack her clothes not taking as long as she thought it would she decided to unpack/rearrange her purse dumping it onto her bed things scattered everywhere 'wow I have a lot of junk' she thought with a slight grin. She placed her wallet, I pod, and cell phone back in right away and began to throw away all unnecessary papers, then also put her make-up back when the last things on the bed were her Senshi pen and communicator she smiled 'Oh my gosh' she thought 'I haven't even looked at these in years not since we all graduated' there was no need for the Sailor Senshi anymore not since the battle with Galaxia. She put the Senshi pen back into her purse and was just about to use her communicator to see if she could get a hold of Minako with it (even though she doubted she would carry it anymore either) when Youchiro knocked on her door.
"Hey Rei you have some visitors" he yelled while walking away
'visitors what? No one even knows I'm back yet' she thought as she exited her room heading for the front door. As she stepped outside she smiled widely. Standing proudly in front of the temple were her good friends and fellow senshi, Haruka the tall, short haired blond with loose dark jeans and a tight dark blue dress shirt stood smiling and moved her sunglasses up to her head. Michiru the smaller woman with beautifully long and curly aquamarine hair smiled brightly in a cute blue summer dress.
"Michiru, Haruka oh my gosh its been forever how did you even know I was in town I haven't even told anyone yet" Rei stated with a happy, confused smile while she ran to hug Michiru. Her and Michiru were good friend since they both seemed to have a type of psychic power they understood each other a well.
"Michiru knew you were in town the minute your plane landed she can be creepy that way she did the same thing with Minako when she came into town for a concert" said Haruka with a smile on her face now accepting her hug from the dark haired miko, "and Hotaru when she tried to surprise us for her Christmas break" Michiru playfully smacked her arm with mock annoyance.
"It's not that creepy ya know Rei can see the future and you don't call her creepy!" Michiru said giggling.
"Um yeah that's creepy too" Haruka responded with a huge grin. Rei gave her a look saying she was utterly insulted and "humph"ed while she smacked the blonds other arm.
"HEY ladies unnecessary roughness!!" Haruka said feigning pain.
"Well don't be mean and we wont have to hurt you, you know Rei has a terrible temper she could maim you with a look if your not careful" Michiru teased
"Very true how could I forget!" Haruka agreed flashing Rei a sly smile.
"Hey, now your both being mean!!" Rei replied looking heavily insulted again.
"So anyway we wanted to let you know that we were thinking of having a sort of senshi family reunion since almost everyone will be in town for the weekend"
"What who's coming back into town I haven't heard from anybody" Rei replied immediately thinking of possibly seeing Mina.
"Really hu you must have been traveling when Usagi called everyone, well Hotaru is coming back from her first year of college in Boston, and Mamoru finished his degree early the nerd, and wants to move back to Tokyo there thinking of getting married in a few weeks" answered Haruka
"Wow I'm so excited I haven't seen everybody for so long I talk to Ami and Usagi a few times a month and Makoto even less then that, I haven't heard from Minako in 2 years well technically I never really heard from her I saw her in New York when she came into town to do a joint concert with one of my clients but we got into a fight and I haven't heard from her since"
"Fight? What did you fight about?" Michiru asked puzzled wondering why the two best friends would be fighting. Everyone knew how the two felt about each other, well except the two people involved, and maybe the clueless Usagi.
"I made a harmless joke about her many lovers you read about in the magazines, you know the things they say about her are terrible, anyway I made a comment about how the Senshi of Love obviously cant control herself and she freaked out"
XFlashbackX (New York - 2 years prior - Rei's Apartment)
Rei was sitting on her couch thumbing through a magazine with Mina glancing at it and the T.V back and forth. Rei stops at an article about Minako and her newest conquest she reads it getting a little annoyed at how the magazine makes it seem like Minako is a big sluty whore or something. Mina leans in and smiles a little saying
"Oh that's was a good night John and his partner Antony took me to a great club it was a blast" Rei looked for a second at the two men at Mina's side in the picture both of them gorgeous. One with dark blond hair and rich brown eyes the other having dark black hair and shining green eyes.
"Mina you really should learn to control yourself its really bad for your image to go out with so many guys all the time, here you even have two at a time. I know you're the senshi of love and all but come on it's a little slutty hun" Rei replied with a joking sarcastic tone.
Minako looked at Rei with confusion and a little bit of hurt in her eyes
"Is that what you think of me Rei" she said in a sad voice "You think I'm a slut!!" she continued her voice raising with each word, as she stands from the couch in a huff.
"Mina I didn't say I think you're a slut I said you need to slow down your conquests a bit it makes you look bad" Rei said trying to back pedal a bit. 'I don't like people thinking about Mina this way" Rei thought.
"You don't know anything about my so called conquests Rei" Mina continued yelling tears coming to her eyes " all you know is what those damn papers write, God I thought of all people my best friend would be the one to back me up instead you just think I'm a slut like everyone else does." Tears streaming down her face Minako walks to the front door of Rei's apartment and jerks it open "some friend you are" she mumbles before slamming the door loudly.
"Mina wait I didn't mean it like that" Rei yelled but Minako was long gone.
XFlashback endX
"and after that I tried to call her for the last few days she was in town but her agent would always say she was busy. I wanted to explain that I didn't think she was a slut but that she needed to work on her image and that I was joking when I said what I said but I never got a chance to talk to her about it" Rei finished her story.
"Sounds like you hurt her feelings, hit a nerve or something, have you tried to call her anytime since her visit" Michiru said in a analytical tone.
"Yeah I called her like once a week for a month then once a month for the rest of the year and her agent always said she was busy and couldn't be bothered, I just figured she was mad at me and didn't want to talk to me so I stopped trying to get a hold of her all together" Rei replied in a sad and heartbroken voice.
"Well maybe you can work it out if she comes to the reunion, Michiru and I are gonna get everyone to bombard her with phone calls till they let us talk to her Ami, Makoto, Usagi, and Hotaru have already agreed to help, Setsuna said she would come to the reunion but she wasn't going to help us "stalk" Minako as she puts it. You think you can throw in a few calls from here too that way her stupid agent will get so annoyed she might let us actually talk to Mina?" Haruka says cheerfully as if that plan wasn't totally juvenile.
"Umm sure but she would probably answer your guy's call before she would answer mine but ill give it a try"
A/N Just so you know I like the Michiru from the manga with longer hair and Haruka is a little more girly as well as a smart ass then she is in the anime. Oh yeah Rei, Minako, Ami, Usagi, and Makoto are all 22, Michiru is 24, Haruka 25, Mamoru is about 27, Hotaru is just 18, Setsuna is obviously like 3000 but looks 27.
