[Scene: The one Shinto shrine in Hen Tie. Minako comes and knocks on the door wearing a black leather catsuit, blood red lipstick and winged eyeliner. Grandpa opens the door and does a double take.]

Minako: Hey there Grandpa, Is Rei in? I need to talk to her.

Grandpa: [reluctantly breaking eye contact with her cleavage] She's here alright.

Minako: She hasn't called in days. She was getting sick when I last saw her, I was worried.

Grandpa: Oh, she's fine. She just woke from a nap. [goes back to staring at her chest] I was just sitting on the futon waiting for her to get up. Why don't you come in and join me?

Yuuichirou : [Rushes out of the house] GRANDPA! NO! You're going to get us in trouble again!

[comes out and steers Minako away from Rei's grandfather]

Yuuichirou: She was...is...too sick to call. She's not feeling well right now.

Minako: Does she have a fever?

Yuuichirou: [nods] So bad her room feels like an oven, but she refuses to see a doctor.

Minako: Nightmares?

Yuuichirou: [nods again] Really bad ones. She wakes up crying. I've never seen her cry before.

Minako: [smirks] Good.

Yuuichirou Good?

Minako: Ah...That you've never seen her cry before...Let me know if you need any help.

Grandpa: [Looking over Minako] Well if you'd like to help, missy, you could come in and give her a nice cold bath.

Yuuichirou: Grandpa! Stop it! If you keep talking to teenage girls like that I'll report you myself!

Grandpa: [To Minako] We're fine. Stay at your own place.

Minako: Ok.

Yuuichirou: I'll tell Rei you stopped by. [Follows Grandpa in and closes the door]

Minako: [mutters] Bye.

[Minako stands there for a few minutes before walking away]

[Meanwhile: In Rei's dream...]

[Rei is seated on a white cushion on the floor of candlelit room, resting her hands on her knees, and staring into a plain white tapestry. The room is all white. White walls, white floor, white ceiling. Not a trace of darkness or color anywhere. It is customary for her to surround herself with pure light to make it easier to communicate with the spirit world.]

[There is a party in the ballroom, but this Rei was never interested in parties. Plus, her only true friend is otherwise occupied, so Rei would rather spend her time conversing with the dead.]

[The door behind her opens and the candles blow back. Rei does not turn around. Nobody but her has any business being in the shrine. Whoever is here came in by mistake. She waits for the intruder to stammer an apology and leave. It is only when the door remains open and the intruder remains silent that she turns around.]

[It's him. Dressed in full battle armor.]

[She never understands what she sees in him. Rei turns back around again and continues to ignore him. Still he doesn't leave.]

Rei: She's in her room. Waiting for you. If she's not there, I don't know where she is.

Kunzite: [coolly] I am far more interested in you at the moment.

[Rei scoffs openly]

Rei: No offense, but you're not my type.

Kunzite: Don't worry. You're not my type either.

[He clutches her forehead. Rei only catches a momentary glint of steel and feels the briefest of stings across her throat before the white cloth before her is sprayed with red.]

[Rei sits up in from her folded out futon in a cold sweat and lets out an earsplitting scream when she sees a man with white hair watching over her. She screams and screams, staring right at him.]

Rei: HELP! YUUICHIROU! INTRUDER!

Artemis: Wait. You can see me?

Rei: GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM!

[Rei picks up a table lamp and throws it at Artemis. It passes right through him.]

[Rei calms down]

Rei: Oh. That's right. You're a ghost.

Artemis: And that doesn't bother you?

Rei: [grins] Trust me, if you could see my dreams, you'd realize a haunting would be the last thing that would bother me.

Artemis: Then you are getting your memories back?

Rei: Not likely. Unless I remember being murdered by Zoi's boyfriend.

Artemis: Actually...

[Yuuichirou runs in holding a broom like a baseball bat. Rei and Artemis give him a glance, then completely ignore him.

Rei: So what are you doing in here?

Yuuichirou: I heard you scream.

Artemis: I've come to tell you about your destiny. Minako has awoken as leader of the moon guardians, and now it seems you have woken as well.

Rei: Minako, huh? Did she send you here to bother me?

Artemis: Not at all. But she has a long road ahead of her, and she will need all the assistance she can get.

Yuuichirou: Minako? [he looks behind him and breaks into a sweat] I just spoke to her, but I barely know her. I swear. I just know her as a friend of yours. She doesn't interest me in the slightest.

Artemis: There is a great evil that has come to Hen Tie. And if your psychic abilities and the stifling heat in this room is any indication, you've woken as the Guardian of Fire.

Rei: I've awoken? Why?

Yuuichirou: You had a nightmare.

Artemis: I do not know. Minako fell ill and regained her memories, and then you fell ill. I can only assume the fever has jarred something loose in your minds. You have a grand destiny-

Rei: Cut the bullshit. What do you really want with me?

Yuuichirou: [blushes and breaks into a sweat as he smiles nervously] Well...

[Yuuichirou keeps talking but is drowned out by Artemis]

Artemis: There is an evil god who has come to Hen Tie. He is raising an army, bent on global domination. He lures them to Hen Tie with false promises and then perverts their wishes in order to enslave them and bend them to his will. We need to find a way to stop him.

Rei: [smile and winks] Sounds like fun. I'm in. So what can I do to help you?

[Yuuichirou's blush deepens]

Yuuichirou: Nothing. Nothing at all. I'm happy just worshipping at your feet. But if...

Artemis: The fact that you can see me is an enormous help already. You are no ordinary girl. You were once blessed with great powers, some of these powers have inexplicably rewoken-

[Artemis turns and sees Yuuichirou stammering on behind him]

Artemis: We'll talk later. With Minako. Someplace more private. When you are fully recovered.

[Artemis fades to a small blue light and blinks out]

Yuuichirou: ...and I've felt that way for a very long time. I've just never had the courage-

[Rei seems to notice him for the first time.]

Rei: Yuuichirou? What the hell are you still doing in my room? Get the hell out! [throws a pillow at him and not gently]

Yuuichirou: Yes. Of course. Right away.

[He frowns and slumps his shoulders as he leaves]
