"Why are we here again?" Usagi asked impatiently to her companions.
"Because it's important to Rei, you know?!" Minako answered. "And besides, she personally wants you to be there. If it weren't for that none of us would be here!"
"Oh alright! But when this is over, we're going to go find Rei as soon as possible!" Usagi said shaking her fist up in the air as if to jam her point home. "She did promise me something to eat after this!"
Minako, Makoto and Ami coudn't help but shake their heads in indignation towards the actions of there friend.
"Still thinking with your stomach, eh?"
"Haruka! What are you doing here?" Usagi turned around quickly to great her friend with a big hug. "Where's Michiru?" she asked once she'd let Haruka go.
"Oh? You guys don't know? I thought Rei had told you guys already." Haruka said off-handedly.
"Tell us what Haruka?" Makoto asked with a slight tilt of her head to the side.
"Yeah what?!" Usagi asked with shining eyes as if to say 'tell me! tell me!' in a child-like manner.
"Well it's just that this 'concert' that's being held tonight is a union between Rei and Michiru; Rei singing and Michiru playing her violin. I thought Rei had already told you guys that." Haruka walked towards the main entry to the building where the concert was to be held along side the other girls.
"Usagi did Rei not tell you any of this?" Ami asked knowingly with a slight grin.
"Uh...well you see...uh...I can't really remember...eh heheh!" Usagi scratched the back of her head with her hand in a nervous manner.
"Forget it Ami, she'll never remember." Makoto said rolling her eyes.
"Yeah I guess you're right." Ami answered as she walked into the building.
"Now let's find our seats shall we?" Haruka asked as she led the group over to the table that was reserved for them.
"Oh wow! It even has our names infront of our asigned seats and everything!" Minako said admiringly as she sat down on her seat.
"Shshhh! The shows about to start!" Usagi said with her index finger to her lips.
The lights began to dim and gave the stage and almost ethereal glow as most of the lights intensity was focused there. A young man in a tuxedo appeared on the stage, mic in hand.
"Good evening ladies and gentelmen! My name is Tatsuya and I will be your host for the night! Thankyou all for coming to this wonderous joining! Myself and the staff would like to personally give out our most heartfelt thanks to the two artists performing here tonight! Please an applause for them!" He said as he raised his hands and began to applaud along with the audience. As the applause died down he began to speak again. "Now if you would please welcome our two artist to the stage! Rei Hino and Michiru Kaioh!" He smiled and pointed over to where Rei and Michiru where walking onto the stage before leaving it completely.
Michiru and Rei walked onto the stage smiling and took there respective seats. Rei at a stool that had a mic infront of it and Michiru a comfortable chair with just enough room to alow her to play her violin comfortably. Rei took the mic in her hands.
"As Tatsuya might have already said, thankyou all for coming here tonight! We will now begin with our concert! We hope it is to your liking!" Rei finished with a smile.
'Wow! Rei really does look stunning in that black dress!' Usagi thought to herself. 'Wait. Why am I thinking that?'
As the concert went on, both Rei and Michiru twisted in and out of songs in perfect harmony. It was amazing to believe that these two had only been practicing together for a few short weeks before the concert. As the final song was played, both Michiru and Rei stood up to bow before the audience as them, in turn, stood up to bravely cheer and applause the two artists. Michiru smiled and walked off the stage as Rei motioned with her head to the band standing in the backround to come onto the stage.
"Now, I have a personal performance that I hope will please you all tonight!" Rei said smiling. "Usagi? Would you please come onto the stage please?"
"What? Me?" Usagi stood up, whether or not she had conciously noticed this, and began walking onto the stage, a slight grin plastered on her face. She failed to notice, also, the look of knowing crossing her friends features as she went.
"Sit here, please, odango-atama." Rei said kindly away from the mic with a smirk. "I wanted to dedicate this next song to you...I hope you like it."
"A...song....for me?" Usagi wondered quietly to herself as she sat herself on the chair that Michiru had been using not so long ago.
She watched as Rei pushed the stool she'd been using during the concert slightly to the side and adjust her mic to her height. She looked behind her to check if the band was ready and once they were, she nodded to the guitarist to start the song. The first chords of the song began to play.
"When I feel you close to me
It's easy to believe
To the depths and back again
To find that I'm still needing
Feel the fear dissipate
When you are everything you are
Feel my soul come awake
You carry me away"
Rei smirked as she flipped her long ebony tresses back and pushed slightly foward on the mic as she bagan to sing the chorus.
"When I hurt, when I bleed
You're holding me
Feel you scratching at the surface
Under my skin [2x]
Oh, under my skin [2x]"
She turned and looked at Usagi with caring eyes to see that Usagi was looking at her the same way.
"Oh sweet Serenity
I'm beautifully addicted
You are more than I can take
I crave you undiluted
You calm the ache, I come awake
When you are everything you are
Feel the fear dissipate
You carry me away
When I hurt, when I bleed
You're holding me
Feel you scratching at the surface
Under my skin [2x]
Oh, under my skin [2x]
Oh, yeah"
She let the music go and slightly closed her eyes as the piano slowly made itself known. She closed her eyes completely. 'Usagi please, if my confession of loving you is too much, atleast stay my friend.' Rei thought to herself as she began singing again.
"Could I be lost
Could I disappear
Could I be lost
Would you find me here?
Could I be lost in a secret place?
Could I rest in the shadow of your face
Oh the sweet
(Could I be lost, could I disapper?)
Serenity
(Could I be lost, would you find me here?)
Beautifully
(Could I be lost in a secret place?)
A part of me
(Could I rest in the shadow of your face?)
When I hurt, when I bleed
You're holding me
Feel you scratching at the surface
Under my skin [2x]
Oh, under my skin [4x]"
As the song came to an end the audience began to applause wildly at the performance, but Rei wasn't paying attention to them anymore, her eyes where locked with those of her love.
"Oh Rei..." Usagi muttured as she got up and hugged the other girl tightly. "I...I think that I might feel the same Rei. Just the other day I was thinking about you. I think that I...that I..."
"Shshhhh. It's alright odango-atama. I know." Rei said slightly pulling away from Usagi to look at her. "I've still one more song to sing for you. Would you care to hear it?"
"Yeah, I'd like that." Usagi nodded in approval as she was led back to the chair.
"Alright." Rei left Usagi where she was and went back to her mic. "This last one was a total surprise, since I wrote it not too long ago, but the finished product was good, atleast to my ears so I hope you guys will like it as much as I do. Oh! And Usagi?" She looked over to her love.
"Yes?" Usagi answered.
"I just wanted you to think about all those times when I pushed you away with my teasing. And I wanted to say that I'm sorry for it." Rei said letting her eyes fall apoligetically. Usagi only nodded in response. Rei began to sing as the firts chrds of the song began to play.
"It's too late baby, there's no turning around
I've got my hands in my pocket and my head in a cloud
This is how I do
When I think about you
I never thought that you could break me apart
I keep a sinister smile and a hold of my heart
You want to get inside
Then you need to get in line
But not this time
Cause you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine"
Memories of the times that Rei had pushed Usagi out of the way in the heat of battle so that she would take the blow instead of her love and vice versa, came rushing into Rei's mind, causing her to smile knowingly at the memories.
"I won't try to philosophize
I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes
This is how I feel
And its so so real
I got a closet filled up to the brim
With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons
And I don't know why
You'd even try
But I won't lie
You caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?"
Usagi looked out towards where her friends where sitting for the first time since Rei had called her up onto the stage to see them all giving her and Rei knowing looks. Usagi looke at them questioningly but said nothing and just continued to listening to Rei's song. She remembered the times when Rei had talked to her about her dark past and told her about what she remembered from the Silver Millenium. Told her secrets that no one else knew but herself and smiled knowing what Rei ment in the song. Rei turned slightly to look at Usagi and smiled back.
"And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded
And you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
(I feel like a hero and you are my heroine)
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
(Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?)
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded
(I feel like a hero and you are my heroine)
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
(Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?)
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded"
As the song ended, Rei walked over to Usagi and hugged her close. "So? Where do we go from here, princess?"
Usagi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Rei's choice of a nickname for her. "Well...I have an idea. Since I don't have that baka of a boyfriend anymore...I guess that this wouldn't be inappropriete at all, now would it?"
"What do you..?" Rei never did finish her sentence since a pair of lips enveloped her own in a soft, warm kiss. Rei felt like she was in heaven.
"So...that answer your question?" Usagi said as she pulled away.
"Hmm...a bit yeah. But let's get out of here and see what else we can figure out to do, shall we?" Rei said with a slight smirk.
"Yeah, I'd like that Rei." Usagi said lovingly.
The End!
