Chapter Two: Another Letter. "Uhn..." Minako awoke, her arms wrapped around Rei in a passionate embrace. She looked downward at the slender girl in her arms, and smiled grimly to herself. The fiery angel's ebony hair was a mess of sweat and tangles, and her heavy black lashes rested comfortably upon her pale ivory cheeks. The crimson, rose-petal lips that belonged to none other than the miko were slightly parted, pearly teeth semi-showing. Oh, how Minako wanted to look at her face forever! A solitary tear traveled down Minako's cheek as she realized what this one night meant, how much it would mean to Rei once she awoke. 'Do I really love her this much...or is this just a one night thing? Does she really love me? If she does...can we really pull this off?' These questions replayed inside Minako's head until the entire world in her eyes was spinning with stress. She blinked her azure eyes once, and everything straightened itself out before her. "Hai, I love her." She answered one of her queries in a whisper, expecting thunder to strike or Satan to pick her up and throw her into Hell or Rei to awaken or...something. Love for another woman was...unheard of in her family. "Wait 'till Mom finds out." She muttered to herself, a vision of her waiflike, angelic mother crying on their living room floor popping into her mind. She was certain her father would be even worse, what with all the stress that had been piling upon him due to his job and the fact that her younger sister's rebellious nature had her moving out of their house. He'd probably disown her, for sure! Minako realized one thing; one important thing that would probably break Rei's heart forever. She had to leave, and never come back. Slowly, she untangled her arms from around Rei's slim form and peeled back the damp sheet that had somehow wound itself around their sweat-drenched figures. Settling her feet on the carpet and facing the cold air without her lover's body next to her, she breathed a sigh of sorrow and slipped on one of Rei's terrycloth robes. Walking over to the desk next to the bed, Minako began her letter. Rei~ I am truly sorry for my unwelcome departure, but I don't know what to think anymore. In true Romeo and Juliet style, our loves are forbidden, and I don't think we should do this. Although we've spent our first night together, and I now know how I truly feel about you, this cannot happen. Chibi-Usa never mentioned us being together in Crystal Tokyo, and therefore we obviously aren't meant for one another. We should forget this illicit night, and move on with our lives. As much as I love you, This can't be. I hope you understand my actions. Aishiteru, Rei-chan Minako. She stopped, pen hovering over the scrap of stationary, feeling she should write something more. She couldn't think of anything. Another tear rolled down her cheek, meeting her tongue. The salty flavor illuminated her senses, and she looked over towards the bed, where her fiery angel slept onward, unaware of what Minako was about to do. It was then she looked back towards the desk, and noticed it. A single scrap of the very same flame-bordered stationary laid upon a pile of tarot cards, and it had the name 'Minako' written upon it in Rei's best cursive. Thinking that it held some meaning, but too muddled to think of it, she tiptoed over to her backpack and slipped the paper inside, at the same time pulling out a clean college uniform. It was Monday, after all. Minako hurriedly changed unto the uniform, and, placing her trademark red hairbow in it's place, she once again watched as Rei stirred gently in her sleep. She held her breath, praying that the ebony-haired woman didn't awaken. She didn't, but it took a few minutes for Minako to feel safe enough to move again. After a few more moments of primping and fussing, the blonde walked to the bed, left her note next to Rei's delicate face, climbed out of the window, and vanished into the starry night. A/N: So, how'd you like Chapter Two? Only 2½ pages long, but I assure you the next chapter will be MUCH longer!!! Ai Alwayz~ Pyro Venus
