Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Burning Moon ❯ Chap 2 ( Chapter 2 )

"Hi guys, sorry I'm late but I couldn't get off work any earlier. Did I miss anything?" Mina walked up the path and stopped at the stairs. "Hey where's Raye?" Mina looked around confused.

"She's inside." Serena pointed to the door Raye had run through.

"Oh....I"ll go check on her." Mina disappeared through the door.

"Raye? Hey Raye are you ok?" Mina peered into Raye's room to see her sitting on the bed.

"Yeah I"m ok...I"m just not feeling all that great. We can re-schedule the meeting ok?"

"Sure...I'll tell the others."

"Oh can you tell Serena I gotta talk to her before she goes?"

"Sure I can. You just get better ok?" When Mina got an assuring nod from Raye she went to get Serena.

"You wanted to see me Raye?" Serena slowly walked just inside Raye's door.

"Yeah...ummmmm....Serena about today, at your place....I...Ummm..."

"It's ok Raye." Serena walked over and sat beside her on the bed. "I know you didn't really mean..." Raye leaned over and kissed Serena's cheek, cutting her off in suprise.

"You don't understand.....I did mean what I did," Raye replied when she looked at Serena again. "It just...I don't know...Serena has anyone told you, you have beautiful hair? Can I brush it?"

"I...uhhhhh....O...K.." Serena was being led to a chair and when she was seated Raye gently took out the ribbons and let her hair fall to the floor, then began to brush it out. "Your hair is so soft, like silk caressed by moonbeams," Raye whispered in Serena's ear, who just sat there not knowing what to say in reply.

"Raye, I think I'd better go. It's...ummm.....getting late."

"Alright..." Raye had a hint of disappointment in her voice. "I'll see you tomorrow." Raye finished doing up Serena's hair and walked her to the door.

Luna was waiting at the bottom of the temple stairs.

"Rini and Chibi-Chibi will be staying with your parents tonight. You have to pick them up tomorrow afternoon." Luna hopped on Serena's shoulder as she walked home.

"Serena is that you?" Mina poked her head out the kitchen door. "So what did Raye want?" Serena blushed at the question and turned so Mina couldn't see.

"Nothing," Serena mutterd as she went to her room and shut the door, unaware that Luna was still on her shoulder.

"So what has got you in a flutter?"

"What do you mean Luna?" Serena said with a start as she heard Luna's voice.

"Your face is as red as a tomato."

"Oh that...it's nothing." She put Luna on the table in her room then plopped down on her bed.

"That is not a nothing look."

"I think Raye likes me," Serena said quietly.

"Well she is your friend, why shouldn't she like you?"

"That's not what I mean Luna!"

"Oh…I see…That could be a problem since you are with Darien and all."

"Ummm…so the fact that Raye is a girl doesn't bother you?"

"No, why should it?" Luna looked confused at what Serena was implying.

"Ok let me put it in kitty terms. Would you ever kiss a female cat?"

"No, of course not…Oh I get it." Luna's face went from showing confusion to surprise. "So what are you going to do?"

"I don't know Luna, I mean I do like her and we have been friends for a long time." Serena lied down on her bed and thought of different ways she could tell Raye how she felt, but Serena was never good at confronting people.

"Well Serena, are you going to tell her? Serena?" Luna hopped on the bed and poked Serena in the head. The only reply she got were soft snores before Serena rolled over on top of her. "Serena get off me! Serena wake up! Something tells me this is going to be a long night," Luna grumbled as she tried to free herself from under Serena's back.
