Chapter 2 - Searching for Rei

"The impetuous fool! I told him not to take on a senshi alone!" Angrily spat the horned youma, `he almost looked like a bull on its hind legs.' thought Rei

"Calm down, Saburo we will find the senshi who did this and make her sure she prays for death, besides there are more pressing matters to attend to. We were only to find out Goro's fate and we know that now." Stated a youma that at first glance appear human except for his scaly green skin and snake like eyes.

"Of course you are right as always, Ichiro. It is just frustrating to come all the way out here and go back just to report that a general is dead because of a senshi that we know can't be far away!" Saburo replied slightly calmer than be for. "But you know the punishment for disobeying a direct order. Let us return now, the senshis' days are numbered anyway." And with that they each opened an invisible door and disappeared.

Rei couldn't help but be a little shocked, she thought the youma she just killed was just some stray youma that the senshi routinely battled, but it appear that there was a new enemy that was surfacing. Now she *had* to get in touch with the other senshi, so she pulled her communicator hoping someone would answer her call. "Attention any who is awake and is able to answer me. I need a little help by that warehouse near the park, I can't move too well on my own here and it looks like we've got a new enemy on our hands." After minute or so she got a response.

"Rei-chan I got your message and will get there as soon as I can." Usagi then faded from the screen. `Figures she would be the first to answer my call for help' Rei thought. Just then another of her friends popped on the screen, "Rei I'll be right there with my medical kit, ok" `Ami, always the doctor' Rei thought, but even Rei had to admit she could use a little medical attention, even though she healed faster because of her senshi powers a little medical attention wouldn't hurt especially for her broken ribs. Rei leaned back against the wall for support and began walking outside the building so friends would have an easier time of finding her. When she reached a well lit spot against the wall she slid down into a sitting position against the wall and look up at the stars in the sky.

Usagi ran to the area she thought Rei was talking about, `I wonder how bad she is to be calling on us to help her, Rei doesn't usually ask for help even when there were times that could have used it.' Usagi thought to herself. She started to worry that she could really be hurt and she pick up her pace. Usagi began to worry more as her mind started coming up with one horrible scenario after another. She felt like hitting herself to bring herself back to reality, `of course Rei would ok she's always ok, nothing could happen to Rei' trying to convince herself.

Flashback to one week ago…

Their daily senshi meeting at Rei's house had just ended and everyone was beginning to leave, when Rei came up to Usagi and said, "Hey Usa, can I have a word with you since we are alone now?" "Sure Rei-chan, what is it?" Usagi responded sitting on Rei's bed.

"I was just wondering….where Mamoru has been recently, I haven't seen him in a while." Rei asked. Usagi looked shocked, `I don't think she was expecting that question' Rei thought. The shock left Usagi's face and it turned to sadness immediately Rei was sorry she asked this question, she never wanted to see her sad, curiosity had just gotten the better of her. "I'm sorry Usa," Rei said making her way towards her bed and sat down next to Usagi and put an arm around the small blond, "I didn't want to upset you, just forget about it you don't have to answer my stupid question `damn I'm so stupid', please don't be upset I'm so…" Before Rei could finish Usagi raised her hand to motioning for her stop, so she did and Usagi look up to Rei and said quietly, "I'm not surprised you would be the first to ask me." Not giving Rei a chance to respond she continued, "Two weeks ago Mamoru and I were supposed to go to dinner together and when he was a half hour late I went to his place, because I thought something may have happened, but when I got there Mamoru was just finishing packing his things. I came in and asked him what was going on and he walked over to me and said that he was offered a job in America and had accepted it. He told me that he didn't know how long he would be gone for, but he was leaving the next day." Usagi started crying then, but still finished explaining what happened that day, "Then he … he…told me he…he…didn't hold…me…to our…our engagement anymore." At this time Usagi broke down in Rei's arms and as Rei tried to comfort her distraught princess.

`How could *he* just leave her like that, how could *anyone* willingly leave her!' Rei screamed in her head. She was barely able to contain her anger, but she would for her princess. Once Usagi's sobs slowed Rei put her hand under Usagi's chin and raised her head so their eyes met, she wiped away the tears that were still slowly coming from her eyes; and spook to her not feeling any of the anger that see felt just a short time ago, all she felt and showed right now was all the love that see has felt for Usagi for as long as she could remember, "Usagi, there is something that you can always count on. I will *never* leave you *ever*." With that Rei leaned close Usagi, wanting so much to kiss those beautiful lips of hers, but Rei would never take advantage of Usagi in her current state, so instead tilted her head to right and kissed her on the cheek instead.

End of flashback

Unconsciously Usagi brought her hand up to touch the cheek that Rei had kissed and smiled, `Of course Rei was going to be alright, she told me herself that she would never leave me' she thought. Just then she saw Ami coming from across the street. "Ami-chan!" Usagi called. Ami turned to see Usagi running up to her, "Oh, hi Usagi-chan. I guess we were the only ones to get Rei's message, I haven't seen anyone else." "Yeah, usually I would be asleep, but I couldn't fall asleep for some reason tonight." Usagi responded. "I guess we should be going, we don't want to keep Rei waiting." Ami said, coming back the matter at hand. "Yeah, you're right. Rei will get mad if we keep her waiting long." With that the two girls ran off in the direction of the abandoned warehouse.

Ami and Usagi arrived at the spot Rei said she was, but they couldn't help but notice the damage done to the parking lot that was a battlefield just a short time ago. The two began making their way through the debris to get it the building. That was when they spotted a raven haired girl slouched against the base of the building. "Rei-chan!" Usagi yelled, now running towards her friend. "Bout time someone got here!" Rei yelled back to Usagi.

Wow, I wasn't sure where I was going there for a time. I hope it turned out ok (though I don't like most the flashback scene and will probably change it later); I was pretty sleepy when I wrote most of it. Oh, I want tell everyone the title for this story is stupid, and I will change I'm sure of it. I just wanted to title it something and not leave it untitled. I did plan on having action in this chapter, but it didn't work out that way I guess. I can't say when the next chapter will be out, but it come out time not to far away. I don't want to be one of those authors that starts a story and never finishes it. R&R if you want it's not necessary, so until next time, See Ya.
