Chapter 2: All about us

Rei sighed for the umpteen time. The reason for her sighing you might ask? Minako was swooning over her new boytoy. Rei tried to be happy for the upcoming pop-star but everytime she thought about the fact that is wasn't her holding Minako's hand, or pulling her into a tight hug that last longer than a normal "friend" hug ,or lying down beside her at night and whispering promises of forever while driving Minako to the brink of pleasure and back, or..or.. Clam thoughts Rei Calm thoughts.

" What do you think Rei?" The object of her inner turmoil questioned her.

"About…" While in her mind she had missed the entire conversation between Minako and the rest of her friends.

Blonde eyes twinkled in amusement as she repeated the question, "Yaten. What do you think about him?"

He's nothing but a hindrance to you and stands between your dreams. Yaten's only thoughts are on what makes him more popular. He doesn't care about you at all and I would just love to burn his ass to crisp. Is What Rei wanted to say but all she said was, " It's your life. I can't tell you what to do."

Minako's smile seemed to drop a little but she sounded the same to all the others, " Of course Rei, I just thought it would be nice to hear my best friend's opinions of my boyfriend."

Rei cringed slightly at the word friend. Oh Mina what I wouldn't give to be more than friends with you. A glance at the clock told Rei it was time to go.

"I have to leave guys, Grandpa doesn't need to be doing any more work then necessary or he'll end up in the hospital again. See you later." Rei waved and went to walk out when she heard footsteps scrambling behind her. Minako was quickly gathering up her stuff and raced to meet Rei at the door.

"I'll walk with you. I think you could use some help at the shrine."

Rei inwardly groaned. The young miko couldn't object without appearing ruder then she already was by leaving early. Rei just grunted and walked out; Minako called a quick goodbye to their friends and raced after the miko.

"Rei what's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm fine" They both knew it was a lie. Minako left it alone and intertwined her fingers together. Rei stiffened at the contact and pulled her hand away. The solider of love and beauty was clearly hurt.

"Rei something's wrong you never pulled away before."

"You weren't with anyone before." The venom showed in Rei's voice as she said this.

Blue eyes widen as she finally understood what had been bothering Rei these past few weeks.

"Your jealous of Yaten!"

"I am no such thing."

"Yes you are. That would explain all the sighs, the glares you would send at him whenever you saw him and the fact you always have someplace to go when we try to get together and go out when he's with us!"

Rei flinched, had she been that obvious ? Instead of answering she just stayed silent. Which just confirmed Minako's guess.

"Rei, why are you worried? You'll always be my best friend; he'll never take your place."

Mars chose that moment to surface and Rei's walls crumbled. She turned to the blonde beside her. Rei grabbed Minako's shoulders, a wild light in her eyes.

"Don't you get it?! I want to be more than friends. I want to be the only one you come to when you need help, the one you confide all your secrets in. I want to hold you to cry with you, lay down with you every night and know I am the only one you think about. Minako I love you."

Rei pulled Minako close and whispered, "I love you so much it hurts." Rei closed the distant between them and attacked Minako's lips. The blonde was stunned, her mind was a jumbled mess with only two words, Rei and Kiss. The kiss deepen and Minako didn't try to stop it. She found her own tongue battling Rei's . The need for air became too much for either of them to handle. They broke apart gasping. Their foreheads rested against each other's. Rei's eyes widen with the realization of what she had just done.

"Minako, I am so sorry. I don't know what came over me." The solider od Mars started to back away slowly until a hand darter out and grabbed her wrist. Minako started another heart stopping kiss.

"You are not going anywhere Rei. It took you long enough to confess." Minako smiled at Rei's shocked expression . "I knew the whole time. I just couldn't bring myself to say anything first."

"What about Yaten?"

"Who?"

It was Rei's turn to smile, "I like the sound of that." And leaned close for the third kiss of many more to come.

I decided to end with that thing where the characters comment on the story.

Rei: What the hell did I just read?

Minako: Be nice Pyro and I thought Mikos didn't cuss.

Me: Why you gotta be so mean to me. I tried I really did.

Rei: So you made me an emotional wreck!?

Me: It's better than the last one at least this way you get a happy ending.

Minako: Yeah the last one was a little depressing.
