AN: First of all I'm really happy you all enjoyed that last chapter. I've been looking forward to writing that one for a while and going more into Rei and Minako's kind of vanilla BDSM lifestyle. They always seemed like the type of couple that would like vanilla BDSM in my opinion. Second of all I'm sorry it has been far too long since I have updated this fic. I hope I haven't lost all of you awesome readers. Hopefully this chapter will make up for my shitty update times. This story still has a long ways to go so don't give up on it yet :D Anyways, enjoy the new chapter :D


Chapter 16: Issues

Rei let out a soft groan as she woke from her deep slumber, dully noting her sore muscles. 'Great . . . another dream to further torture me . . .' The miko sighed, sitting up and stretching. Her eyes widened when she looked to her side and found a very naked goddess of love peacefully slumbering on her stomach next to her.

"It wasn't a dream." Rei said softly to herself, a smile spreading across her lips as Minako's soft melodic snoring filled her ears. Rei felt like a giddy child waking up on Christmas excitedly waiting to open her present. She wanted so badly to wake Minako up and continue their activities from the night before, but couldn't bring herself to do so when the blonde looked so peaceful so she settled on moving some stray golden stands out of Minako's face and tucked them behind her ear and just gazed at the goddess, enraptured by her devastating beauty. "I don't think you have any idea how much you really mean to me . . ." Rei spoke in the same soft voice running her fingers through Minako's long blonde hair. "Kami . . ." Rei sighed, pausing her movement. "You're so perfect . . ." Rei leaned forward, placing a soft kiss on Minako's shoulder, but pulled away when she heard someone knocking on her door.

"Damnit." Rei growled, beyond unhappy to be interrupted as she got out of bed, throwing clothes on, and rushing downstairs to get rid of the unwelcome guest. Rei ripped open her front door, opening her mouth to speak before she saw her guest. "This had better be fucking important."

"I would say your girlfriend is pretty important." Lucy stood in the doorway with her arms crossed, glaring right back at the Martian.

"L-Lucy? What are you doing here?" Rei stuttered, backpedaling faster then she ever had before.

"You didn't answer any of my calls last night." Lucy brushed past Rei, not bothering to wait for an invitation.

"My phone broke." Rei blushed, closing the front door.

"How?"

"It fell. Again . . . what are you doing here Lucy?" Rei sighed.

"Since when do I need a reason to see my girlfriend?" Lucy stepped closer to the miko. "I didn't want things to end on that note yesterday. You know I love you Reiko." Lucy leaned in to kiss Rei, but the Martian took a step back.

"Listen Lucy . . ." Rei cleared her throat, not prepared for this talk yet. "We need to talk . . ."

"Talk? About what?" Lucy raised an eyebrow.

"You see. . ." Rei started, unsure of how to do this

"Oh. Hell. No." Lucy suddenly realized where this conversation was going. "You are NOT doing this."

"Lucy, things aren't working between us. You have to know this." Rei sighed.

"The only problem we have is that SLUT!"

"Don't call her that." Rei growled, a fire igniting in her chest.

"You're defending HER now!?" Lucy stepped into Rei's space, but her eyes widened when realization dawned on her and she took a step back. "Oh my god. Oh my god. OH. MY. GOD! You slept with her didn't you!?"

"Lucy . . ." Rei suddenly became nervous.

"YOU CHEATED ON ME!"

"I didn't-"

"DON'T FUCKING LIE TO ME!" Lucy picked up a glass vase off of the coffee table and threw it hard at the Martian's head. Luckily Rei's reflexes are well trained and she was quick to duck out of the way casuing the vase to shatter on the wall upon impact, sending glass flying in every direction.

Meanwhile Minako had a small smile on her face as she cuddled up in the Martian's bed, but was rudely woken up from her peaceful slumber when a loud crash echoed through the house.

"What the . . .?" Minako rolled onto her back, sat up, and rubbed her groggy eyes. The events from the night before slowly came back to her as she realized she was in Rei's room and not her own, causing the smile to creep back onto her face, but the moment was short lived. Her smile fell when she heard the all too familiar voice of Lucy yelling. "Oh. Hell. No." Minako's eyes narrowed as she got out of bed, a fire burning in her chest.

"Fucking shit Lucy!" Rei stood up, her eyes wide and hands raised in surrender as she carefully stepped to the side to avoid the shards of glass on the ground.

"How long Rei!?" Lucy yelled as she grabbed a half empty glass of water from the table.

"H-How long?" Rei stuttered.

"Don't play dumb! How long have you been fucking that SLUT behind my back!?"

"She's not a -"

"HOW LONG!?" Lucy threw the glass at Rei's head again, but once again Rei ducked, covering her head.

"What's all the ruckus about?" Minako yawned at the top of Rei's stairs, stretching before she slowly walked down the steps wearing only one of Rei's t-shirts and underwear.

"YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Lucy stormed over to the smirking Venusian once she made it to the bottom of the stairs.

"Who? Me?" Minako looked behind her as if Lucy could be talking about someone else, before she turned her attention to the fuming pink haired girl with an innocent smile.

Minako's appearance and cool demeanor was all Lucy needed to push her over the edge as she cocked her arm back, balling her hand into a tight fist. Minako was more then ready to counter the pink haired girl, but her conversation with Lucy at the beach suddenly flashed through her head. 'Fuck.' Minako internally sighed. 'I didn't think this through.'

Instead of blocking the punch like Minako was well trained to do she fought every impulse she had and let the fuming musician punch her right in her left eye, sending her stumbling back onto her butt.

"Not smiling now slut are you?" Lucy spat out while Rei quickly ran to the blonde, stepping between her spurned ex lover and Minako.

"Lucy!" Rei pushed the pink haired girl back. "Get the fuck out. Now." Rei growled.

"Me!? This bitch has been fucking my girlfriend-"

"EX girlfriend remember?" Minako glared up at Lucy, her eye already starting to swell.

"Fuck you!" Lucy raised her fist to hit Minako again, but was stopped by Rei grabbing her wrist.

"Don't fucking touch her again." A fire blazed in Rei's eyes, challenging Lucy to make another move towards the blonde nursing her eye.

"So this is how you want to end things?" Lucy yanked her wrist out of Rei's grasp. "YOU cheated on ME and I'm the one being told to leave. I'm some how the bad guy here?"

"Well if the shoe fits . . ." Minako smiled, provoking the enraged singer into trying to maneuver around Rei.

"Don't." Rei took on a dangerous tone as she stepped right back in the way of Lucy and Minako. "I won't tell you again."

Lucy glared at Rei, tense and on edge, searching the miko's eyes to find any shred of proof that she would go back on her word, but only found a resolve that wouldn't be broken. "You know what . . ." Lucy took a step back. "Its not worth it. YOU'RE not worth it. Honestly you two deserve each other. She is just going to do what she did before. She will use you and then leave you broken and this time I won't fucking be there to help pick up the pieces. She's just a stupid slut and you're just the moron that thought she was worth more then a one night stand."

"Get out now before I fuck you up myself." Rei growled.

"Gladly." Lucy replied, giving Rei one final shove before she made her exit, pausing before she reached the door. "I really wish I could be there to see when she breaks you, because trust me Rei she will. There's no such thing as a whore with a heart of gold." Lucy sent one more pointed glare at the blonde and Rei before she left, slamming the door behind her.

"Are you okay?" Rei kneeled down and turned her attention to the blonde sitting on the stairs holding her hand over her left eye.

"Do you think that too . . .?" Minako asked softly, looking off to the side.

"Think what?" Rei tilted her head to the side.

"That I'm just a stupid slut . . ."

"Absolutely not." Rei gently turned Minako's chin so she was looking at her. "She is insane and you . . ." Rei trailed off.

"And I'm . . .?"

Rei shook her head, looking down before bashfully bringing her eyes up to meet Minako's only uncovered blue one. "There are no words . . ." Rei almost choked on the sentence as it came out of her mouth. "Perfection isn't a strong enough word."

"Rei . . ." Minako's blush almost matched Rei's.

"I um . . ." Rei cleared her throat, standing up. "I'm going to get you some ice for you eye." Rei carefully walked around the glass on the floor to reach the kitchen, returning moments later with ice cubes in a rag. "Let me see." Rei kneeled back down in front of the blonde while Minako hesitantly moved her hand from her eye.

"Is it bad?" Minako asked absentmindedly as she watched Rei carefully leaning forward to press the ice to her eye, the miko's words still running through her head.

"You still look beautiful if that's what you're asking." Rei smiled cheekily at the blonde who swatted at her in response. "Why did you let her punch you like that Minako . . . You could have easily taken her out." Rei frowned.

"She's already on to me being Venus. If I took her down it would have just confirmed her suspicions." Minako flinched a little when Rei put a little more pressure on her eye then she wanted.

"Sorry." Rei eased up immediately when she saw the blonde flinch. "I guess I didn't think about that. I'm sorry you got put in that position. I didn't-" Minako leaned forward, pressing her lips against Rei's in a soft chaste kiss, effectively shutting the Martian up. "What was that for?" Rei blushed when Minako pulled away.

"Nothing. I just love you and I'm glad Lucy is out of the way." Minako smiled, causing the Martian's heart to melt on the spot.

"Me too." Rei let Minako grab the makeshift ice pack from her hand. "But . . . what about your boyfriend . . .Jake?" Rei frowned, looking off to the side, but snapped her attention back to the blonde when she heard giggles erupting from her mouth. "What's so funny?" Rei glared at the laughing goddess.

"I might have exaggerated a bit when I said I have a boyfriend . . ." Minako bit her lower lip, trying to hide her smile.

"What do you mean you MIGHT have exaggerated?" Rei crossed her arms.

"I don't have a boyfriend and I most certainly am not seeing Jake." Minako smiled.

"What!? So you lied to-"

Minako cut Rei off once more, pressing her lips a little harder against the Martian's to soothe her anger before it got worse. "I'm sorry Reiko." Minako pulled back. "I was jealous and . . . I wanted you to feel what I felt even if it was for a second. It was really stupid and childish and-"

"So you're saying you're single?" Rei interrupted the blonde, keeping her serious tone.

"Uh . . . yeah I guess." Minako furrowed her brow at Rei's response.

"And I'm single too." Rei looked thoughtful.

"It would seem so." A small smile formed on Minako's face when she caught on to the Martian.

"I love you and you love me soooooo . . ." Rei tapped her finger on her lower lip as if she was deep in thought.

"Are you going to ask me to be your girlfriend?" Minako's smile widened.

"Well I can't if you beat me to the punch." Rei glared playfully at the giddy blonde.

"Sorry, sorry. Continue." Minako sat up straighter, trying to take the smile off of her face. "You wanted to ask me something Reiko?"

"Minako will you-"

"Yes." Minako smiled.

"I didn't finish!" Rei growled. "Will you be my-"

"Yes!" Minako put her icepack down and grabbed Rei by the front of her shirt, yanking the miko into a deep kiss. Rei was startled at first, but was never one to resist the blondes charms and was quick to respond as she leaned forward and gripped the stair behind the blonde moving her lips against Minako's. Rei's temperature quickly began to rise as she pressed her body into Minako's and the blonde responded by arching into Rei, smiling as she bit down on the fire senshi's lower lip, tugging on the soft surface.

Rei pulled back a little after a couple of minutes, breathing heavily as she leaned her forehead against Minako's with her eyes still closed. "Is this real . . .?"

"I don't know Rei . . ." Minako smiled mischievously as she grabbed Rei's free hand and slowly guided it up under her shirt until her hand was placed on Minako's breast. "Does this feel real to you?" She asked huskily before she leaned forward and kissed Rei once slowly and sensually.

"Kami Minako . . ." Rei licked her lips, tasting Minako's sweet lip gloss. "I'm going to take you right here if you keep this up."

"Is that a promise or a threat?" Minako smirked up at the heated Martian.

"Both." Rei growled before she smashed her lips against the smirking blondes, massaging Minako's breast. A soft moan erupted from Minako's mouth when Rei moved her hungry lips to her neck, biting on the soft skin while Minako pushed her hips up into the Martians, silently begging for more. "If this is a dream I'm going to kill anyone who dares to try and wake me up." Rei mumbled against Minako's neck.

"Even Usagi?" Minako grinned as she ran her hands down Rei's back.

"Especially Usagi."

"That's blasphemous you know . . ." Minako ran her hands back up Rei's back, lifting the miko's shirt up in the process.

Rei responded by moving her hand away from Minako's breast and slowly dragging it down her stomach, leaving a trail of goosebumps in her fingers wake to the top of Minako's panties. Rei pulled away just a little so she could look the blonde in the eyes while her fingers played with the top of her panties. "Then may I burn in Hell for eternity if that's the price I have to pay for this."

Flashback

Mars arrived an hour early at the training grounds, fulfilling her promise of training the very eager Asuna in combat, but didn't see her anywhere. "Already off to a bad start." Rei glared at the empty arena as she grabbed a sword and headed for the wooden post off to the side to practice by herself until her new student decided to arrive. She attacked the post relentlessly, chipping away at the hard wood until she heard footsteps approaching her from behind. "Rule number one, don't ever keep me waiting." Rei growled as she turned around, ready to chew out her new student.

"Excuse me?" Venus raised an eyebrow with a very shocked Mercury and Jupiter in tow. "I'll have you know we decided to start practice early today and the only person who seems to have trouble with time keeping is you. Need I remind you of your late arrival to our meeting a couple weeks ago?"

"C-commander." Rei blushed. "I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else."

"Who did you think we were Mars?" Jupiter tilted her head to the side curiously.

"Um, I'm taking on a student and -"

"Sorry I'm late Rei-chan!" Asuna came running into the arena, breathing heavy. "I had some business to discuss with- Oh, hey guys." Asuna blushed when she saw Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury turn to her with questioning looks.

"So that's why you showed up early without telling me." Venus looked over at Mars with a not so well hidden glare.

"I-I told you I was taking on a student and-"

"I don't need you to remind me of our discussion Mars." Venus replied sharply before turning her attention to Asuna. "And you're Asuna Yuuki correct?"

"Y-yes ma'am." Asuna stood up straighter under Venus' scrutinizing gaze.

"You're the commander of the assault team right?"

"That's correct." Asuna nodded her head.

"So tell me . . ." Venus stalked over to the nervous girl. "As a commander how would you handle someone going behind your back and asking your subordinate to train them without consulting you first?"

"I-I'm sorry commander. I didn't think of it like that." Asuna looked down blushing. "You're right, I should have-"

"You should have come to me first, but you didn't." Venus snapped.

"Venus, listen -" Mars stepped up, trying to calm her obviously pissed off girlfriend who was pissed off for more reasons then she was letting on.

"I didn't ask for your consultation Mars. Should I need your advice I will ask." Venus glared over at the Martian who quickly shut her mouth.

"I'm so sorry commander. Please don't be cross with Mars. I came to her and begged her to train me, but I should have come to you first. Please commander, please let me train with you guys." Asuna unexpectedly grabbed Venus' hands. "I don't want my squadron to weigh you guys down. I want to be an asset to the team."

Venus was quiet for a moment, mulling over Asuna's words. "Fine, but next time, if you seek out anything from my subordinates you come to me first and you will train with all of us, not just Mars. You have much to learn from everyone here."

"Yes commander. Thank you so much!" Asuna smiled.

Venus stepped away from the excited girl, pointedly ignoring Mars who stood there sulking in the corner. "Mercury and Jupiter, you two start sparring and Asuna you will start off against Mars per request and I will watch so I can correct your form."

"Yes commander." Everyone said in unison, even Mars who was surprised to see Venus was letting her spar with Asuna right off the bat. 'This is probably some fucked up test and Minako is going to kill me if I fail.' Mars sighed inwardly to herself while Asuna approached her.

"Don't go easy on me Rei-chan." Asuna smiled and winked at the Martian while she took her stance, not noticing the fuming Venusian watching.

"Begin." Venus ordered before Mars could reply, glaring daggers at the two girls.

Mars had barely lifted her sword before Asuna came rushing at her at a demon speed, barely dodging her first strike aimed for her head. 'Holy shit, she's fast.' Mars thought to herself before Asuna stabbed her sword forward again this time aimed at her stomach.

Mars jumped to the side, kicked Asuna's foot out from under her, gripped the orange haired girl's shoulder, and flipped her onto her back, pointing her sword at her throat.

"You attack absent thought or purpose. Get up and go again." Venus crossed her arms, leaning against the wall. 'She is fast though . . . really fast.'

"Yes commander." Asuna smiled as Rei helped the girl off of the ground.

The second Rei got into position Asuna was already going at her again, barely giving her time to prepare as she stabbed at the Martian's midsection over and over again at an alarming speed Rei had trouble keeping up with, barely dodging each strike, but the second Rei saw an opening she deflected Asuna's blade with her own and kicked the girl in the chest, sending her stumbling back.

"You have more weapons at your disposal then your sword." Venus commented.

Asuna nodded with a small smile before running at Mars again, swinging her sword diagonally at the Martian's chest only to be blocked by cold steel. She took note of Venus' words and swung her left fist, aiming for Mars' eyes, but Mars had great reflexes and was quick to duck and sweep her leg so she was left lying flat on her back on the ground once more. She jumped up quickly before Mars could help her up and was at the Martian's throat again, swinging her sword wildly and quicker then she had before.

'Holy shit. She may be ill trained, but she is hard to keep up with.' Mars thought to herself as she barely blocked each assault by the determined girl. It was hard to go on the offensive when Asuna left very little openings to be attacked and before Rei knew it she was backed in a corner. She had all of one second to turn her back and jump from one wall to the next so she could land behind Asuna with the tip of her sword pointed at her back.

"Damnit. I almost had you." Asuna turned around with a smile, heaving and obviously fatigued from her assault.

"Almost." Rei smirked.

"You attempt to press before regaining balance." Minako interrupted the two girls. "Go in with a level head."

"Yes commander." Asuna nodded at the blonde.

Rei and Asuna went back to the center of the arena with a good ten feet between them, both taking in a deep breath. 'She's a little fatigued now and I'm getting used to her speed. There's no way I'm going to let a rookie beat me.' Rei thought stubbornly to herself, carefully watching the girl before her. She stood at the ready, her hands tightening around her blade when she suddenly felt that odd presence again. 'What the . . .?' Mars' eyes shifted to the side, trying to figure out where the presence was coming from without alerting it that she was aware of it being there.

Asuna saw Mars' concentration break, she knew she had found her opening and gathered up all of her strength, darting at the unaware Martian at lightning speed. Before Mars knew what was happening the orange haired girl was right in front of her swinging her sword and she had all of one second to react. Lucky for her, her reflexes seldom let her down and she was able to duck roll out of the way at the last second, but Asuna was hot on her tail and leapt forward before Mars could get up.

A soft 'oof' escaped the Martian's lips as she felt her back make contact with the ground and she felt an unfamiliar weight straddling her with a hand pressed into her shoulder, keeping her pinned to the ground.

"Gotcha." Asuna smirked down at the surprised Martian with her blade pointed at Rei's neck.

"Fuck." Rei sighed.

"They don't call me the lightning flash for nothing." Asuna smiled and winked at the blushing Martian who seemed to become more and more uncomfortable the longer the orange haired girl stayed on top of her.

"That's enough." Venus' blood was boiling as she approached the two with a clenched fist.

"Thanks for your instruction Venus." Asuna smiled up at the pissed blonde, standing up, and holding out her hand to help Mars up, blissfully unaware of Venus' growing anger.

"I-I got it. Thanks." Mars purposely avoided the blonde's glare as she got up by herself, wiping the dirt off of her clothing.

"Shall we go again?" Asuna grinned.

"I'll be your opponent this time." Venus stepped between the two girls, unsheathing her sword. "Mars, you can go sit in the shade and cool off." Venus sent a pointed glare in the cowering Martian's direction.

"Yes commander." Mars mumbled, still perplexed as to what presence she felt.

"Commander vs commander eh? This should be fun." Asuna smiled, jumping from foot to foot.

"Yeah, it will definitely be . . . fun." Venus smiled her fake innocent smile at the oblivious girl, getting in her fighting stance.

'I don't think Asuna knows what she just got herself into . . .' Mars frowned, feeling nervous for the newcomer.

"Begin." The second those words left Venus' lips Asuna already appeared in front of Minako in a flash high in the air, slamming her sword down with all she had, but Minako sidestepped away from the rookie, dodging her blow with ease, leaving Asuna on her knees. Asuna scrambled to her feet, but when she turned to point her blade at the blonde Venus swung her sword hard. Asuna's clumsy hold on her sword was no match for Venus' surprising strength as metal clashed with metal and Venus sent Asuna's weapon flying out of her hand and well out of reach. "Too slow." Venus smirked.

Venus knew she struck a nerve when Asuna balled her hand into a fist and swung at the cocky blonde, but Venus was one step ahead and grabbed the rookie's wrist, using Asuna's momentum against her, and flipped her onto her back.

"Mars did you no favors by going easy on you." Venus stood over Asuna with her blade to her neck. "The enemy will not show you the same kindness that she has."

Asuna seemed to mull over Venus' words before responding. "You're right. Thanks Venus." Asuna smiled as she stood up, wiping the dirt off. "I told you not to go easy on me Rei-chan!" Asuna glared over at the Martian.

"I- um . . . I got distracted . . ." Mars could feel sweat building on her brow not from Asuna's accusing stare, but from the blonde's glare behind her.

"Distracted huh?" Venus balled her hand into a tight fist. "I thought you were more disciplined then that."

"I am . . . I just-"

"We'll discuss the matter later. Asuna, pick up your weapon and attack with more sense this time." Venus cut Mars off, turning her attention back to Asuna.

"Yes commander." Asuna nodded her head with a smile and ran over to her sword. "Sorry Rei-chan. I didn't mean to get you in trouble." Asuna whispered to Mars before she grabbed her sword and ran back to Venus who watched the whole exchange.

'You have no idea how much more trouble I'm in now . . .' Rei sighed inwardly to herself, looking down, and avoiding Venus' gaze.

"Begin." Venus ordered while she was already mid-step, running at Asuna. Asuna had grown so used to going on the offensive she was taken off guard when she saw Venus rushing at her. Venus swung her sword down hard over and over again while Asuna struggled to block the blonde's relentless attacks, slowly backing up further and further until she was pushed against the wall.

Asuna received a small opening from Venus and was quick to take advantage and swing her sword, aiming to swipe Venus' head clear off of her body, but Venus was much more skilled and dropped to one knee, avoiding Asuna's blade. The blonde balled her hand into a tight fist slamming it into Asuna's gut and when the orange haired girl lifted her blade to strike the goddess Venus stood back up and grabbed her wrist, holding the rookie in place while she kneed her in the ribs hard three times before she flipped her onto her back once again.

"You have much to learn." Venus looked down at the defeated girl. "But you show promise." Venus held out her hand and Asuna gratefully took it, letting the blonde help her to her feet. "You have great speed and a decent offense, but your defense is seriously lacking. We will work with you to improve your skills. You may practice with us every other week."

"Thank you commander. I really appreciate it, even if my body doesn't right now." Asuna grinned, rubbing the back of her head.

"Go get some rest and recover. We will continue this in two weeks. Be sure to show your subordinates what we have shown you in the meantime."

"Yes commander. This is a lesson I won't soon forget." Asuna rubbed her sore muscles as she headed for the exit, waving goodbye shyly to Mars before she departed.

"Practice is over. Makoto, you're on patrol in an hour. Mars, come with me. We have much to discuss." Venus ordered without even looking in Mars' direction.

"In trouble again I see." Makoto grinned at the Martian quickly heading after her secret lover who didn't even bother waiting for the raven haired girl.

"Shut up." Mars glared over at the smirking Jovian. "Venus? Venus!" Mars ran after the blonde speed walking away from her. "Hey! Wait up!" Mars grabbed Venus' shoulder, trying to catch her attention. "Minako, it's not what you think." Rei said softly so no one would hear.

"Not here." Venus replied sharply, pulling away from the miko.

"S-sorry . . ." Mars looked down, following the blonde silently now.

Once they reached Venus' room, the blonde locked the door behind her, but still remained silent, deep in thought as she walked over and sat down on her bed.

"Minako . . ." Rei slowly approached the brooding blonde. "Please . . . say something . . ."

"Do you take me for a fool?" Venus finally broke her silence, looking up at Mars.

"What? No. Of course not." Mars kneeled in front of the blonde, trying to grab her hand, but Minako just pulled away.

"Were you that distracted by her beauty that you couldn't even properly train . . .? Have you already grown bored with me . . .?" Venus gripped the sheet tightly.

"What!? No! I felt this . . . presence . . . I felt it once before and then it showed itself again . . . I don't understand what it means . . ." Mars furrowed her brow, trying to pinpoint the feeling.

"Don't lie to me." Venus snapped.

"I'm not lying." Mars frowned, reaching forward once more to try to grab the blonde's hand, but Venus yanked her hand out of her grasp again. "I can't believe this. This is so absurd!" Mars stood back up, throwing her hands up in the air, clearly frustrated while the blonde sat on the edge of her bed, glaring at the floor.

"Can't believe what Rei?" Minako turned her glare towards Mars. "You can't believe you're being called on your bullshit? You can't believe you got caught? You-"

"No!" Mars cut off Venus before she could continue and glared right back at the blonde before she let out a sigh, turning her back on her upset girlfriend. "I can't believe the most beautiful woman in the galaxy is worried about a Martian finding some Lunarian attractive."

Mars' statement hung in the air while Venus sat there shocked by the Martian's surprisingly sweet approach to the subject. "You think I'm the most beautiful woman in the galaxy?" Venus bit her lower lip, looking up to see Mars' back facing her, hiding her crimson cheeks.

"I don't think you are, I KNOW you are." Mars crossed her arms, looking off to the side.

"Oh?" The blonde smiled, snapping out of her angry stupor as she stood up, walking up behind Mars and snaking her arms around her slender waist, resting her cheek on her back.

"Don't you know my heart by now . . .?" Mars gently grabbed the blonde's hands and turned around in the Venusians arms so she could gaze into those sparkling blue eyes. "Everyone else pales in comparison to you . . . Don't you know I . . ." Mars gulped while realization started to dawn in Minako's eyes. " . . .I . . ." 'love you.' "I care very deeply about you." 'Coward.'

"I . . . care very deeply about you too Rei . . ." A small smile adorned Venus' face as she rubbed her thumb across Mars' knuckles.

"Good." Mars nodded awkwardly while Venus' small smile turned into an amused one. "Then the issue is resolved."

"Oh, I wouldn't say that." Venus bit her lower lip as she placed a hand on Mars' chest, slowly walking the raven haired girl backwards until the back of her knees hit the bed, forcing the Martian warrior into a sitting position.

"I think . . ." Venus smiled mischievously as she straddled the blushing Martian, wrapping her arms around her neck. "that this issue . . ." Venus kissed Mars once slowly and sensually. "will take us . . ." Venus kissed Mars' neck before she ripped open the raven haired girls shirt. "ALL night to resolve." Minako licked her lips, hungrily gazing at Rei's half naked torso. "Do you think you can handle it?"

"Oh, I know I can." Mars smirked, as she placed her hand on the small of her goddess' back before she flipped them over, ready for a long night she would surely never forget.
