Chapter 3
"So are you coming?"
(Wednesday)
Rei stood in her room at the temple getting out of her miko clothes and into some pajamas. She had just finished sweeping the temple stairs which took a lot longer then she remembered since Youchiro hadn't done it in a while him having been alone for a time since grandpa died. Rei grabbed the brush from her desk and started brushing her hair as she went to sit on her bed. When she made it there she jumped right back up having forgotten her communicator lying there on the bed, she had just sat on it. 'Oh yeah I was going to see if I could get a hold of Minako with it but then Haruka and Michiru showed up and I forgot' Rei thought as she grabbed the red watch shaped object putting her brush down and hitting the little orange button to connect her with Mina's communicator.
As it was connecting she thought 'Hu maybe I should have called her phone first oh well she probably doesn't even know were the communicator is anymore' Rei's thoughts seemed to be true since she had been holding it for a while without a response. She was just about to flip it closed again when a sleepy sounding Minako appeared on the screen Rei gasped she had forgotten how beautiful Mina was in fact she seemed even prettier since she had last seen her.
"This better be a social call because if your being attacked I cant help I'm in L.A remember" Mina said before really looking at the screen. Rei just stared a little longer until Minako seemed to focus.
"OH Rei hey this is weird I just called you like and hour ago but you didn't answer, why didn't you just call me back? Your lucky I even heard the communicator I don't really take it with me anymore so I leave it in my draw by the bed. I just happened to be falling asleep when it went off." Minako babbled on in her nervousness.
"Oh s..sorry Mina didn't mean to wake you up" Rei stuttered out.
"No problem I'd rather talk to you then sleep anyway" Minako teased with a slightly seductive voice. 'Oh my gosh' thought Rei at hearing the voice 'I'm such a perv she always sounds so sexy to me no wonder I cant ever stop thinking about her'. Rei was lost in some of her naughty thoughts until Minako started talking again.
"So why didn't you just call me back on the phone??" she asked
"Well actually I didn't even know you called I'm not in New York right now I just got back to Japan" Rei answered ecstatic that Mina had obviously been trying to get a hold of her.
"Oh really what are you doing in Japan visiting or something?" Minako replied.
"Actually I just moved back my grandpa died and I came back to run the temple with Youchiro" Rei said in a sad voice.
"Oh my gosh Rei I'm so sorry I didn't know"
"Its ok there's no way you could have" Rei replied in a melancholy voice.
"So Youchiro is still staying at the temple" Minako asked with only a little bit of jealousy on her mind. She knew that Rei and Yourchiro were close, she just feared how close they actually might be.
"Yeah he's the priest now so he's probably never going to move out, anyway I'm actually contacting you for another reason" Rei said her voice becoming happier.
"Really? What about??" Minako replied in a questioningly voice while finally taking the opportunity to really look at the beautiful miko on the screen her long black hair coming forward as she leaned in while switching her sitting position, her beautiful dark violet eyes looking a little bit nervous. Then Rei's word brought her back to reality and she again paid attention to the conversation and not the tempting sight on the screen.
"Well when I got to the temple Michiru and Haruka came to see me which was weird because I hadn't even called anyone to let them know I was in town yet. Apparently Michiru can feel it when any of us come into town crazy hu" Rei rambled on.
"Not really you have done the same thing to me before as well as some of the other guys too" Mina replied
"Yeah I guess so but I can only do that to the people I'm really close to I wouldn't know if Setsuna showed up or anything plus I doubt I could do that anymore haven't used my psychic powers in a really long time" Rei answered.
"Yeah but you were never really good at that from long distances you could tell if someone walked in the house but not into the country, That was always Michiru's thing but you can see the future way better then she can " Minako replied.
"To true your so right, but anyway back to what I was originally getting to, They showed up and were telling me how everyone was coming back this weekend for a sort of senshi reunion, except you so they asked if I would help them convince you to come. What do you say. Hotaru is coming from Boston, Mamoru and Usagi are moving back from London, Setsuna is gonna come from the time gates, I'm already here and so are Ami and Makoto, so you're the only one who wont be here if you don't come and I know your really busy being perfect and all but we would really miss you. So what do you say do you wana come hang with us for a while??" Rei said in a pleading pout. 'God she is so sexy when she pouts' Mina thought then thought about her schedule for a second and realized she had just finished her song so after she turned it in for revising she was free for at least a month to do whatever, sure she had some publicity stuff but she could get Chris to cancel them for her.
"Actually…." Mina started 'oh man she's gonna say she to busy' Rei thought sadly.
"..I just finished my last album of the year so I have about a month free to do anything I want, so hell yeah ill be on a plane tomorrow" Mina replied.
"Really" Rei answered a little shocked "Well the reunion isn't until this weekend so you don't have to rush over here"
"No way I'd be there today if I could I miss you guys so much you're all I've been thinking about all day." Minako quickly replied. At those works Rei's heart began to beat wildly she knew Mina meant the whole group and not her specifically but it still made her heart go crazy.
"sweet! So how long do you plan to stay?" Rei inquired.
"All bloody month if I can but you know agents always trying to get me to work" Minako joked knowing Rei was an agent herself.
"That's the truth if I've ever heard it. So you thinking hotel or just bunk with me at the temple like the good old days" Rei said without thinking 'Why did I say that if she stay's with me I don't think I can keep my hands off of her' she thought while panicking. 'Well she will probably want to stay in a nice hotel anyway' thought Rei a little relieved.
"Well I would actually prefer to stay with you.." 'maybe not' Rei thought "..so we can hang out more plus I wont have to deal with the paparazzi as much ill just get a room at a hotel then sneak out and stay with you that way they stalk the hotel and not me. Sound good" said Minako.
"Sure sounds like fun" 'Oh crap Mina's going to be staying with me for a month I think I'm going to have a heart attack' Rei thought. " So ill see you around the day after tomorrow or so then."
"Yup see you soon love ya bye" Mina said
"bye" Rei softly said as Minako broke the connection. 'She always say that when she gets off the phone gosh you think I would be used to it my now' thought Rei while getting up to turn off her light and going back to her bed for the night.
Mina immediately ran to her phone in the living room and called her travel agent, and best friend about getting a flight to Tokyo stat!
"Crap Minako this better be good its past 10:00 I actually have a real job to go to in the morning" John teased as he picked up the phone. He was always teasing her like this telling jokes about how she doesn't really have a job but partying and occasionally singing.
"Actually John I think its really important I need a flight to Tokyo tomorrow family reunion just found out about it and don't want to be late" Minako lied
"Family reunion hu thought your parents died a few years ago??" John said suspiciously.
"Yeah they did but I still have close family in Tokyo so can you get me a flight as early as possible tomorrow?" Mina pleaded.
"Actually its your lucky day your jet just got done with the repairs I could call the pilot and get you on your way tonight" John said triumphantly.
"Holy Shit really!!! Thank you I'm so excited I'm totally going to surprise everyone, and be there tomorrow yes!!!! I'm so glad the jet is finished I was so sick of flying commercial its so hard to get away from the paparazzi that way, this way they wont even know I'm leaving the country until tomorrow by then ill be in Tokyo." Mina said to her friend.
"Yup so ill call the pilot he's anxious to get flying again he wont even mind its so late. You start packing and get any other unfinished business done. You can sleep on the plane. Ill send over a car to pick you up in an hour so hurry it up." John said happily.
"Thanks so much John I really appreciate it you always pull through for me" Minako stated.
"Yup I'm the best I know, get packing" John said sarcastically.
" I will gosh your not my mother ya know" Minako joked to his comment.
" To bad your going out of town I'm just about to get some time off of work and my best friend leaves the country your mean you know that?" John sassed back to Minako.
"Sorry John but its really important to me to see my family I miss them a lot" Mina replied in a saddened voice.
"No problem, give me a call when you get there so I can get the number of were your staying that way we can keep in touch while your gone. I can handle you being away but I still need my 15 minutes of Minako a week to keep me from going sane, Now get packing and have a great time in Japan" John teased.
"I will say hi to Antony for me and sorry to call you guys so late, bye" Minako replied ignoring his comment about her supposedly making him insane.
"No biggy bye" John answered. 'Yes ill be in Japan tomorrow, ill see Rei tomorrow' Mina thought as she squealed with delight and ran to start packing getting her beautiful luggage set and crazily throwing clothes and other necessities in to the set with the grace of a tornado.
It seemed like minutes but it was much longer, then there was someone pushing her apartment button. It was the driver to pick her up she told him to wait just a second and ran to pull her luggage to the door and was about to leave when she realized she needed to get her last song to Chris before she left. 'What am I going to do' she thought puzzled for a minute.. 'Fax it good idea' She ran to her office and quickly faxed her song along with a note saying she went to Japan for a family thing sorry for the late notice and to cancel all her appointments for the rest of the month. After that she ran to the door opened it and drug her now very heavy luggage set to the elevator.
It wasn't long until she was in her private jet laying on her bed getting ready to sleep and flying quickly towards Tokyo, quickly towards Rei.
