Rei's POV
The truth… Rei wanted to sleep longer, but the commander was there.
why she's here? Sleeping on the chair beside my bed?
"Minako... no, commander."
Rei tried to wake her.
maybe Ami gave her something too.
Her mind felt a little freshened after the sleep. But the sore still there all out her body.
Unconsciously Rei's hand moved to touch Mina's face.
"You woke up." Rei heard the sound of sliding door's infirmary. Ami came and Rei immediately pulled back her hand.
"How long I've been sleep?" Rei asked to Ami. She glanced to the sleeping Mina with smile in her face.
"3 hours maybe." Ami took the other blanket for her commander.
"I haven't seen her sleep like this since that day... maybe your existence warm enough to make her sleep." Ami give Rei her usual smile, and again confusing conversation.
So Ami didn't inject her. I wonder what day Ami talking about.
"... how about a tour?" Ami offered the idea.
"That's sound great. The commander refused my request last night."
"of course Rei. Usually we didn't grant any tour request in 1 AM in the morning."
How'd she know?
"so, where we go first?"
000000000000000000000000
And now, here I am. Standing side by side with so called Phobos.
the black horse.
"This was fire's horse. She's beautiful, isn't she?" Ami gently, stroke phobos hair.
"yes. I mean she's huge." That's all Rei could think to respond Ami.
"You both, try to greet each other! this will be your horse, Rei."
I prefer motorcycle.
"How should I greet a horse, Ami? I never met one before this." Rei asked honestly. That horse seem dislike her ...
"Rei...!" That serenity's voice. She jumped out from her white horse and ran to her direction.
"princess, no running, please." Ami warned her princess. But the princess ignored it. She always did.
"Ami told me that Mako beaten you up in your first day... are you okay?" Serenity gave Rei her concern look.
Do everyone need to know if I got beaten?
"I'm fine. But, Usagi... I mean, princess... you hug me too tight..." It's true. she hug like Usagi.
"there... there... you say it again. Who is it?" Serenity let go of Rei and now staring her.
"excuse me?"
"That bunny or rabbit thing you just said. You said it too yesterday. I overheard them!"
"Is she another me in your world? Am I right? am I right?" She laughed when knowing her guess got bull's eye.
"so, she is pretty like me too, right?"
"and pretty much clumsy." Rei added.
"I'm not clumsy... you're meanie…" Serenity grabbed Rei's hand. She always grabbed it when she asked something important.
"...do you miss her, Rei?"
"...yes. a lot. She was the last person I got chance to see... before here. And, she was princess like you." from the look, Rei knew that serenity felt happy with her answer.
She always the princess. The beautiful one.
"Rei, you want to ride with me?" another offer that she couldn't refuse and hate...
"No, I don't really like the horses..."
"It's okay. Fire taught me, and lately, I've become the best rider in the palace."
Rei exchanged look with Ami to make sure if that information was indeed true.
Ami just gave her mysterious smile.
"Don't worry, Rei. I'll wait you... in the infirmary."
oh, great. today is my so lucky day.
Oh crap.
000000000000000000000000
"... have fun with the princess...?" Mina asked. Rei didn't expect her to wait inside her room.
"How'd you get in?"
what is she? a ninja?
"I've been stay in this palace since I was 5. Don't ask me how I get in." Mina sat on Rei's bed. she crossed both her leg.
"I waited you to wake up at the infirmary." Mina began.
"I don't want to wake you up..." Rei responded quickly, effortly avoided to staring at Mina's leg.
"I thought you were enjoying my sleeping face, didn't you, Rei?"
I did.
"so what, commander? You also enjoy the watch?" Rei gave her another strikeback.
Mina's face blushed for a second.
"cut it out. I was tired and sleep at there. so don't think too much." Mina walked out to the door.
"I'm not..."
"And don't forget to lock the door before you sleep."
oh crap.
Two weeks later
"Do you think she's ready by now?" Serenity stood on the balcony at the crown room. From there, everyone could see the training ground clearly.
"I admit that she has the capability, your highness." The company's voice responded humbly.
"Her result in archery…. Undoubtly, she's the best archer in this country by now. But, in hand to hand combat… she needs to train more."
"If you said so, Haruka-san…"
The short blonde haired girl stood up.
"I won't disappoint you, princess. I promise,… She will be ready for you soon."
"You never disappoint me. You and Fire… are typical. Do you miss her?" Serenity's attention back to the training ground. Rei was there, with Makoto and Ami. She always watched them from this place.
"Yes…" She nodded weakly.
"I don't want her to get hurt any further than this. Because of this… You must help me."
"Understood…"
Rei's POV
"Two weeks and you still uncapable to make a little lit fire from your hand…" Makoto started it again. She gave up and decided to take a break. Ami's turn to teach Rei now.
"Now, Rei. You only need concentrate…" Ami gave Rei an example.
"But, I can't create any fire. It's not my element. My element is water…" Ami continued to explain.
"I know. How many people with the fire's element anyway?" Rei tried to copy Ami's movement, but always fail.
"One. I only know one person. The fire controller usually has black hairs like yours…" there are some freezing water appeared from her hand.
"so, that's the reason my hair color unusual in here. And I had to cover it everytime I go outside the palace…"
"Yes. You should be careful. There are people who want to take advantage of the fire controller."
"for bad things?"
"kind of like that. Rei, we're in the middle of your lesson now. Please, concentrate."
Oh, I fail to distract her. It always success with Mako though.
"How about spare with me, Rei?" Rei looked to the source of that arrogant tone.
Haruka.
"Haruka… aren't you?" like the other, She was not different with Haruka in her dimension.
"Bingo. We've know each other already. So, how about my offer?"
"She's not ready yet, Ruka…" Ami cutting in. This girl, Haruka was out of Ami's dictionary. Uncontrollable.
"I wan't to sparing element with her. No hit and kick, babe…" Haruka's flirting tone made Ami seem more annoyed.
"No is no. She still can't product any combustion yet, Haruka…"
Combustion? Yes, I'm an engine or what?
"I've got permission from the princess."
No words from Ami after Haruka said that.
Hey, seriously!
"that means you're agree with this…"
Ami went to sat with Makoto on the side bench. Watched them.
"Ami, are you sure with this? Where's the commander anyway? She won't like it if she found out about this…"
Ami dislike this too. But, what can she do? It's Serenity's order afterall.
"Maybe the princess has a plan… we can only watch now. If something turn out bad, we both can handle it fast. I hope."
Mako smile to Ami's reaction.
"If you say so. Always be Ami. You always trust the princess…"
"Look who's the one talking…" replied Ami with the same smile.
I know Haruka's element. Wind. Even as senshi, her element could be felt by anyone.
And in here, her element just as great.
"Concentrate, Rei! If you want to make any fire… You must become one with your heart." Haruka yelled while the strong wind came to her direction.
It can blew her up if this continue. And if her fire out now, it won't be good.
"I can't. someone may get hurt!"
"Don't care about that. Just activate your elements!" Haruka raised her hand and do her special move.
She took the winds in the air and brought it down to the ground. Make the ground crumble.
"Now!"
Oh crap.
A few minutes ago in the balcony
"This is our nature as the Valykrian… our element will appear to protect us…" Haruka remembered the day when her element revived.
"You mean you will make her by force?" from her tone of voice, Haruka knew that the princess disagree with her idea.
"You can not hurt her… Haruka."
"a little sacrifice always needed for the greatest purpose, Your Highness. Please understood…"
"Is there any other way?"
"this is the fastest way to revive the Fire…" Haruka looked up to her princess.
"Princess, you and I both know. We miss and need her…"
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Rei lose her balance and got thrown out to the other side.
What should I do?
Think Rei. Think… you can do this.
I can do this without any fire. I'm sure that.
Rei get up and get ready for the next attack.
I was a senshi. Even without the transformation, she could do this.
"be ready, Haruka!" Rei ran toward her.
This is her type. Attack frontally.
"What… the hell is she thinking…?" Haruka didn't expect this coming.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Did you… teach her that move, Mako?" Ami asked. She wasn't sure with what she just saw. What's that?
"No, I was just want to ask you.. that was crazy." Mako shook her head with disbelief in her eyes.
"What are you doing, Rei?" Haruka looked up to Rei above her body.
"take you down. I said it earlier, right? I won't make any fire if your winds blow so hard. It may hurt Ami or Mako."
Now, Rei on Haruka, on top of her. After the greatest jump ever she did before, she could went through her wind and took her down.
One thing that she certain… this world was supporting her.
"Okay. I get it. So, could you stand up please? We are in awkward position, or it's just me?" Haruka winked her eyes.
"… I'm sorry." Rei blushed a little.
"I dunno you can fly, Rei. You didn't tell me beforehand…" Haruka got up first and then gave her a hand to helped her stand up.
"I don't know either. Maybe, the gravitation at this world different than in my world. Thanks to you, I get to know this."
"You're welcome."
Minako who just came looked at them with confuse look.
"someone care to tell me what'd happened here?"
oooooooooooooooooooooo
"when you arrive, Haruka? Michiru's not with you?" they were in the crown room now, with the princess. After a little chit chat and long explanation and report for the commander, they got to the main topic.
"She has a business somewhere I don't care." From Haruka's tone everyone could see that they both were having a fight.
"after this… I think we should find other way to revive Rei's element…" Haruka pointed at Rei.
Rei didn't mind if Haruka care bout her element or such. But Haruka always the type who only have two important things. Michiru and her purpose.
"No need a rush. I think…" The princess gave her opinion. After watched the spar Haruka and Rei this afternoon, she thought Rei had enough for today.
"Who'll do the patrolling tonight?" Haruka suddenly asked.
"me…" Minako answered. Twice a week, she does the night patrol around the palace.
"change with me." Haruka approached Mina and whispered her something.
"… okay, if that what you want."
"thank you. So, I should excuse myself now. Shouldn't be late for patrolling, right?" Haruka leave the room with happy face.
"What she intend to do?" Mako smell something doesn't feel right.
"have fun maybe. Since Michiru isn't here…"
Next chap will be thrilling!
