Chapter 5

Accepted Invitation

(Thursday)

The girls had finished unpacking Mina's clothes and spent all day hanging in Rei's room watching T.V and catching up when Youchiro walked in already talking.

"Hey Rei dinners done if you want to come eat now? Oh Mina I didn't know you were in town how are you its great to see you again" Youchiro said noticing Minako and walking over to hug her. Mina hugged him back a little annoyed at how he had just walked into Rei's room without even knocking like he was allowed to come in when ever he wanted. Minako didn't like that idea at all, but she ignored it and stated.

"Wow Youchiro you look great going more for the preppy look nowadays I see, it suits you"

"Preppy hu never thought of it that way but I guess your right, it's a much more acceptable style for a priest anyway, but back to what I was saying dinners done and your welcome to join us if you want I made way to much as it is." Youchiro replied

"Sure I'm starving lets go Rei" Mina said while grabbing Rei's hand and jerking her off the bed in pursuit of Youchiro.

They had a great meal Youchiro had obviously been perfecting his cooking skills. at around 5:30 Minako left the table to give John a call.

"Thanks Youchiro that was great, Hey Rei can I use your phone I need to call John" Mina said with a mischievous smile thinking about how it was early in L.A and how John would def be in bed still since it was the first day of his long vacation, (which would be extended dramatically now since Minako was is biggest reasonability and she wouldn't be traveling for another month or so. And since all his other clients weren't nearly as popular as she was he could probably handle them all by phone anyway) 'Maybe I can get him to stay till after Usagi's wedding I'm his boss technically so he could take the time off if he wants to.' Mina thought while waiting for Rei's answer.

"Sure Mina but you might want to use my cell phone in my room because the temple doesn't have long distance, my cell service does." Rei replied a little sad at the anxious grin the blond idol had on her gorgeous face. 'god I hope he doesn't want to come to Japan I don't think I could handle seeing Mina with her boyfriend' Rei thought finally coming to the conclusion that Minako and John must be together or Mina wouldn't be so excited to talk to him.

Minako practically ran to Rei's room she was so excited about annoying John and inviting him to Tokyo, He really was like a big brother to her, some times people even mistook them for siblings since they were always acting like two naughty children getting into trouble and they both had blond hair even though he had dark brown eyes and hers were blue, Mina often thought he looked a lot more like Haruka since there blond color and hair style was similar, although Johns was much more masculine looking, John never liked it when Mina would tell him this though, he always seemed to think that Minako was telling him he looked like a girl, and John may be into men but he was totally a man, a very masculine man not even close to the stereotypical gay guy, well technically he wasn't gay he was bisexual.

Minako reached Rei's room in no time and searched her purse for her cell phone quickly locating it and dialing Johns home number from memory. After a few rings Johns annoyed and tired voice came on the line.

"fuck Mina you always seem to call either to early or to late cant you call me at a normal time"

"nope you know me, anyway this is payback for the car" Minako very happily replied.

"Damn well I guess I deserve it then I knew you would just love that car I asked for it specifically" John said in a much happier tone, realizing Mina had noticed his little torture in the form of a convertible.

"yup you're a jerk I cant believe an ass like you has a boyfriend" Minako said in a very sarcastic voice reverting to one of their normal teasing subjects.

"Well actually Antony and I broke up so now my perfect vacation is complete my best friend and man both run away, well at least you didn't run away together" John said laughing a little

"Oh I'm sorry John why did you guys break up" Mina asked a little concerned for her big bro.

"Ah it just wasn't working out he got really clingy and jealous and I told him if he couldn't trust me then we should just break up and so we did, to tell you the truth Mina I was kind of relived he was getting really annoying " John answered in response to the question.

"Well as long as your happy I support you, any way I have a question that just might cheer you up, yes I know your surprised I called for a reason other then to annoy the crap out of you, but I was thinking about how I have been teaching you Japanese and how you just started your vacation so I was wondering if you wanted to fly out here to Japan hang with your little sis, meet my family and practice your linguistic skills."

"Wow really that sounds totally awesome I've wanted to go to Japan since I meet you. And I'm totally taking your plane of course, but I have some business to finish up today so I wont be able to leave till tomorrow. Which means I will probably get there around Friday afternoon does that work for you" John said now very excited.

"Sounds perfect Hotaru and Usagi are both coming in Friday afternoon too. Maybe we can all meet at the airport, oh by the way were staying at my friend Rei's temple so go online and look up directions from the airport to Hikawa temple just incase we aren't able to all meet up at the same time I know Usagi and Hotaru's flights come in 15 minutes apart from each other so give me a call at this number when you get close to Tokyo so I know if we will still be in the area or not"

"Rei's hu if I recall correctly she's the friend your madly in love with right!" John said mischievously.

"um yeah she is" Mina confessed shyly.

"go!! Minako thinking of getting a little action on your vacation, bout time you get laid your starting to make me feel like a harlot next to your virgin ass" John teased.

"actually were just friends and no one knows I'm still a V so keep your mouth shut while you're here ok." Mina whispered seriously.

"Fine fine I'll keep my innocent jokes to a minimum but I'm totally teasing you non stop about your hot little friend when no ones around" John agreed.

"Agreed but only if you behave yourself." Mina said in a very mother like tone.

"Ok mommy ill be good, but I got to go hun I still have a lot to do today so I can leave for Tokyo in the Morning. Oh bye the way I was thinking about how I can never get a hold of you since you never carry your phone and are hardly with Chris right now and so I bought you another cell phone one you will carry around, but only give this number to close friends like me so we can actually talk to you that way you wont have to deal with the stupid business but I can still get a hold of you."

"Wow thanks that's a really good idea John you're the best" Mina said to her friend.

"Yup I know you say that a lot, but ill talk to you later and see you Friday afternoon, oh by the way I'm looking forward to meeting your girl I've always wondered what kind of person could keep the infamous Minako Aino celibate for so long" John said referring to Mina's totally bogus promiscuous reputation.

"Yeah yeah yeah ill see you soon hun love ya bye" Mina said totally disregarding his joke.

"bye sis" John answered and hung up. Minako layed on Rei's bed looking at the ceiling and thinking about how great it was going to be to have her two best friends finally meet. The best parts of both her worlds with her in Tokyo.

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

Rei had just finished cleaning up the kitchen and getting off the temple phone with Haruka, she was walking down the hall towards her room when she heard the tail end of Minako's conversation with John.

"Wow thanks that's a really good idea John you're the best" Mina said to her friend. Mina was silent for a while obviously listening to something John was saying on the other line.

"Yeah yeah yeah ill see you soon hun love ya bye" Minako replied.

Upon hearing those words Rei's heart ached and her eyes began to tear, it hurt like hell to think about Mina with someone else, but Rei was a miko after all and had intense control of her emotions so she mentally kicked herself wiped her eyes to make sure they weren't teary anymore put a light smile on her face and walked into her room and saw Minako laying on her bed arms wide with a happy smile on her face.

"Hey how was John?" Rei asked not really caring.

"Oh he's good he's accepted the invite and will be in town Friday afternoon I hope around the same time as Usagi and Hotaru so we can all ride back to the temple together." Minako said cheerfully.

"Oh he will be here that soon maybe he can come with us to the club then, Haruka just called and said that in celebration of everyone being here and Hotaru's birthday a few weeks ago that we are going out Friday afternoon after everyone gets home, apparently her old friend Elza recently opened a club and Haruka promised we would all check it out. Surprisingly Mamoru and Usagi are totally up for it, he must be sick of studying, they and Hotaru said they are going to sleep on the plane so they wont be all jet lagged when they get here. You should call John back and give him a heads up so he can get some extra sleep too."

"He's busy right now so ill just text him, besides I thought we could run down to the arcade and play that old racing game we used to play all the time before they close" Mina said while typing away on Rei's cell phone.

"Yeah that sounds like fun we should call Haruka and the other guys so was could have a tournament or something" Rei responded.

"No way Haruka will kick our buts its not even fair to play racing games with a formula one racer, besides I was hoping we could hang out just you and me since Johns going to be here tomorrow we wont be totally alone for a while and I miss our 'just us' time" Mina said still typing the text to John.

"Your right Haruka would kick our butts guess its just you and me for the night" Rei said as Minako stood and they both began to walk out of the temple and down the stairs they decided to walk since it wasn't that far away and they could take a short cut through the park.

Mina and Rei spent all night playing at the arcade like they used to but when it closed they were forced to walk home.

"shit its cold tonight should have brought a jacket" Minako said as they entered the park.

"Come here" Rei said as they continued walking. "Its a lot colder in New York guess I just got used to it" When Mina made it to her she put her arm around the blonds shoulders and pulled her close. Mina thrived on the contact it felt so good to be held by Rei, and Rei's body was giving off a little more heat then usual. Mina guessed that's why Rei wasn't feeling the cold. She leaned in and put her arms abound Rei's waist and her head on her shoulder.

"Thanks Rei I'm not cold anymore being the fire senshi must have its perks" Mina joked. When Minako hugged her Rei's heart began to race as they continued the walk to the temple.

They continued to talk mostly about work what kind of songs Mina was doing on the new album, and what clients Rei had before she moved back to Tokyo. When they made it back to the temple Mina jumped in the shower while Rei said good night to Youchiro. When Rei returned to her room Mina was dressed in a cute Sailor V tank top and orange pajama bottoms that had a rendition of Sailor V doing the V for victory sign right across the idols butt. Rei found herself staring at Minako's tight ass until she turned around and the miko's eyes shot to her face a little blush raising to Rei's own.

"Hey im gonna jump in the shower now you can hop into bed if you want I usually sleep on the outside" Rei said to hide her embarrassment at almost being caught checking out the blonds "assets."

"Ok" Mina said as she jumped into Rei's bed and crawled all the way over to the side against the wall

Rei walked across the hall to the shower holding her pajamas so she could dress without giving Mina a show. When the dark haired girl returned to her room dressed in a big t-shirt and cute red boxers Minako was already asleep Rei turned out the light and scooted into the bed staying as far away from her blond friend as possible. Rei was just drifting off to sleep when Mina rolled over and snuggled up to Rei putting her head on the miko's shoulder and her arm around her waist. Rei tensed for just a moment before placing her hand on Mina's arm that was holding Rei's waist. Rei smiled an turned her head placing a light kiss in the blonds hair on her head. 'god how I love you' she thought before drifting off to sleep.
