disclaimer; sailor moon belongs to someone else; I am simply borrowing her. No profits will be made from this story.
author's note; yes, folks, this story is based on the Sailor Moon characters; but not on the series itself. These are not saccarin sweet, characters for children on a weekday afternoon. There are no cartoons in this story; they are all adults in adult situations. There are no Japanese words mingled with the prose; I don't speak Japanese. I wish that I did, but I don't. I speak English, and Spanish; and no, I will not mingle Spanish words in here. Nope; the story is purely American. There are no comedic situations, where I try to describe what goes on, as if it were a comic book. The story is lesbian in nature; men only make appearances; speak little or nothing. The characters don't have pink or blue hair. Only one scene with a monster; and it gets destroyed quickly; I write drama, I don't do sci-fi; but well I needed one in here. These are young women, adult, somewhat responsible in their actions; and the personalities of each character does not mirror that of the character in the original series. I made some changes; to fit this story into the alt. fiction category, so that it will be more compatible with my other stories on my site.

chapter 1; the search for love
Somewhere amid the jumbled chaos of her mind, Mina struggled to find her way back to reality, back to life, to her friends....back to Rei.
Mina didn't know where she was, as she glanced around her. The sky wasn't blue anymore, it was reddish, and gray. The shadows around Mina weren't of green forests, or flowing crystal rivers. What lay about Mina was a wide, seemingly endless wasteland.
Mina sighed sadly. She had long ago stopped crying. Tears were useless now, and would never free Mina from this strange hell that Serena had sent her to.
Serena.
The memory of Serena quickened the rage in Mina's aching heart. Mina recalled Serena's angry, hate-filled eyes, as she raised her moon-scepter, and sent her into hell.
"I hate you Serena. You sent me to hell. You took away my right to live in my world. You branded me a monster, you lied to the others about me. You sent me away so that you could keep Rei to yourself."
Rei.
The memory of Rei, her beloved, broght tears to Mina's eyes, "Rei....I need you so much. I feel empty without you; I feel unfinished. I love you, Rei, with all of my heart."
Mina continued to float over the wasteland, ocassionally glancing down at the yellowish surface of the ground, "you haven't won, Serena," Mina thought, "you will never have Rei's love. Rei can't love you, Serena. Rei loves me, only me. Rei, and I share a single soul."
Mina's eyes misted over, "where are my hands?" Mina looked down at her hands, always so pale, and small, but couldn't even see them, "oh....I forgot....I don't have hands anymore. I'm not even human now!" Mina began to cry, but what came out of her mouth wasn't even a woman's scream, it was a loud, shrill, bestial sound. That was all that Mina had left for a voice; an uninteligible, animal scream. But inside, Mina knew that she was still the same; human in thought, and heart.
Now,Mina slowly put her thoughts in order, rescuing them from their former, chaotic existence. Memories, vivid, alive, moving, sounds, smells fo her former life began to return as Mina recalled how this nightmare had begun.
It all started at a party that Mina, and the rest of the group had gone to. The group was of course, Mina, Amy, Serena, Darian, and....her Rei.
Rei.
Mina felt herself smile, or at least she thought that she might be smiling. Everytime that she thought of Rei, her heart filled with joy, pleasure, and love.
"Rei.....My Rei.....Mine.....my love......MINE.....forever mine."
The party had been a grand affair, held at the lavish, popular nightclub "Tensami," located in uptown Tokyo. The band playing was called "FarCry," which was the most popular pop band at that moment.
The party had been announced only two weeks in advance, and only Tokyo's most wealthy teens would be invited; that of course included all six of the power team; Japan's super heroes, the Sailor Scouts, and Tuxedo Mask, who in everyday life were all from wealthy families.
The Tensami nightclub had been very crowded, the extremely loud music could be heard blocks away, and the flashing, multi-colored lights from inside the club could be seen outside on the street, almost blinding passing motorists, and pedestrians.
The group arrived early. Darian had picked up all of the girls, (of course Amy, and Lita had dates), in his father's oversized, shiny, black limousine.
Darian's chauffeur stopped in front of the Tensami, and waited patiently for every one to get out of the limousine.
Darian got out first, and then helped Serena, his fiancee, and future wife out. Then, Ken, Lita's date got out, and helped her out, and then helped both Mina, and Rei(who didn't have dates), get out of the car. Finally, Greg, Amy's date got out, and helped Amy get out of the car.
There were eight of them, and they all stood, for a moment, outside the Tensama, filled with anticipation. All of them entered the nightclub in pairs; Darina, and Serena, Lita, and Ken, Amy, and Greg, and finally, Mina, and Rei.
Rei.
Mina trembled, as she recalled Rei, her beautiful friend. Mina had trembled that night, as she held Rei's soft, pale hand in her own, as they walked into the busy nightclub, into the arms of the thriving party.
"Oh, Rei. You are so beautiful, that you take my breath away. I just couldn't stop looking at you that night. I had to stop myself from throwing my arms around you, and kissing you on the lips in front of everyone."
That night, the plan had been, that Mina, and Rei would tease every man within sight of them. The two girls had dressed in their most provocative clothes, and looked so stunning when they entered the nightclub, that not only had the men started looking at them, but also the women.
Once inside, the group got a corner table that Darian had reserved for them in advance. Amy, Lita, Ken, Greg, all got up immediately, and began to dance. Darian, and Serena stayed at the table to cuddle. Rei got up, and turned to Mina.
"Come on, Mina," Rei said with a smile, as she got up off her chair, "let's go party!"
"What?" Mina was suddenly awakened from her revelry, about her erotic fantasies about Rei, as her deep, blue eyes softly carressed Rei's voluptuous curves, about the smooth, almost feline way the gorgeous brunette seemed to move.
"Hey! Mina wake up!"
"I heard you, Rei....I'd rather stay here for a while."
"Mina, are you ok?" Rei was worried at her beautiful companion's sudden sullenness.
"I'm just fine, Rei."
"Okay, so I'm going to mingle a bit. I'll come back to fetch you later, Mina."
"Ok, Rei."
But Mina wasn't alright. At that precise moment, Mina didn't really want to be at the boisterous party; she really only wanted to be alone with her gorgeous friend, Rei, to hold her, to kiss her.
For the last month, beautiful, blond Mina had been doing a lot of soul searching. Mina had been analyzing her life, and the lack of love in it. Yes, of course, Mina was in reality Venus, the goddess of love. But even as a goddess, Mina lacked the presence of love in her life.
Mina's father was a wealthy workaholic businessman who was always away on some business trip, or visiting one of his two mistresses, and had no time to spend with his only daughter. Mina's mother was always away on some cruise, or at some social event, or at some luncheon with her high society friends, or with her secret, lesbian lover, and had no time for her only daughter.
Mina had always been extremely beautiful, and from a very young age had begun attracting older men. Mina started her sexual activity when she was only twelve years of age, hoping to find in men the love that she lacked from her parents. Now, at the age of eighteen, Mina had a very LONG list of lovers behind her, and she had yet to capture the elusive emotion of true love.
Mina was fed up with men in general. All of her lovers had used Mina's body to obtain their own sexual pleasure, but had not given it to her in return. Mina was ashamed to admit to herself that the only orgasms that she ever had were when she masturbated.
Now, at eighteen, Mina had made a very important decision that many people would say that she was much too young to make; she wanted a permanent companion, a soulmate, someone to be with her forever. Mina wanted to wake up, spend the day with, and go to bed with the same person for the rest of her life.
Mina had also made another VERY important decision; the person that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with was to be a WOMAN. No more men for Mina. Men were far too selfish and boring in Mina's opinion.
But of course, no ordinary woman would ever do for the goddess of love, who happened to be immortal. Mina wanted FOREVER, so no mortal woman, doomed to old age, and death would ever do as her lover. Mina wanted an immortal lover like herself. So, Mina had to look among her own friends to choose her lover, and she only had FOUR choices; Serena, Lita, Amy, and Rei.
Mina weighed all of her options, coldly, and clinically analyzed each of her friends; physically, emotionally, mentally. Mina had measured, and re-evaluated her final decision to the point of exhaustion, but she had finally picked the one who would be her soulmate, and lover forever; Rei, the senshi of fire, and passion.
Mina had coldly decided that Rei would be her permanent lover for eternity. Mina had of course considered that Rei, being heterosexual, might not agree with such a decision, that the girl might even already be in love with someone else. But of course, a confident, arrogant Mina had decided that nothing, and no one would keep Rei from her, that she would bind the beautiful girl to her with a powerful love spell to last forever.
Mina had decided to forego wooing, and courting the stunningly beautiful brunette, and trying to win her love. Mina had no time for that. Mina was desperate, lonely, and miserable. The beautiful senshi of love needed Rei NOW. Mina wasn't willing to wait anymore.
That was when Mina started looking at Rei differently; no longer as a friend, but as a lover. Mina had discovered that her lack of love also spilled over into her friendships. Mina had noticed that even though she saw the gang every single day, she really wasn't close to any of them. Amy, and Lita were close to each other. Serena had Darian, but she had paired off with Rei. Mina had discovered that even in friendship, she was totally alone.
Serena.
Once more, feelings of hate rose up in Mina's heart. Serena had Darian, and then she greedily clung to Rei. That wasn't fair in Mina's eyes. Now, Mina recalled something odd that she had never noticed before; Serena was always watching Rei with eyes filled with lust, and desire.
Mina had then become determined to take Rei away from Serena. It was settled. It was final; Mina wanted Rei as her best friend, as well as her lover. Mina was determined; Rei was her property now.
That was when it all truly began; three, and a half weeks before the party at the Tensama. A tense, discreet rivalry between Mina, and Serena had begun over Rei's friendship, and ultimately, her love.
Rei.
Mina felt her heart flutter with love, and excitement, as she recalled her stunning lover.
Rei wasn't very tall really, at just 5' 7". Rei had a slender, yet voluptuous body, with long, curvaceous legs, an unbelievably tiny waist, slender, pale arms, and the most supple, firm, round breasts that Mina had ever seen, and wanted desperately to fondle in her trembling hands. Rei had long, thick, wild hair, so black, so shiny, that it glowed in fantastic, deep, blue high-lights under the sunlight. Rei's skin was soft to the touch, creamy, unblemished alabaster in tone. Rei's beautiful, oval face was decorated with big, glowing, cerulean eyes, and full, moist, crimson lips that were driving Mina mad with desire.
The touching had started discreetly; Mina would always sit next to Rei at restaurants, or at the movies, or walk next to her when all of the five girls went to the mall together. Serena, and Mina would get into an argument, because Serena had always sat next to Rei everywhere they went together, and now Mina was getting in her way; always greedily taking a seat, or standing next to the ravishing brunette. Rei would roll her eyes, when she saw Mina, and Serena argue over a seat next to her, and ultimately, she would end up sitting between the two, angry blonds. When Rei ended up sitting between Mina, and Serena at the movies, she would ultimately end up feeling the wandering, caressing hands of both girls fondling her beautiful, voluptuous body, until both sets of hands would end up touching, and an argument would start up between the battling blonds.
Mina would do her best to race Serena to Rei's side. Mina would find every opportunity, use every lie, or excuse that she ould think of to touch Rei. Mina would hug Rei frequently, holding the girl tightly against her, even if it was only for a few seconds. Whenever she could, Mina would run her slender fingers through Rei's wild, raven hair, admiring, enjoying the silky feel of the girl's dark locks. While walking to school, Mina would take Rei's arm, or put her arm around Rei's very tiny waist, or around her firm shoulders, "....I just can't believe how small Rei's waist is...." Mina would think to herself. Serena would throw dirty looks at Mina, as she too tried to do the same. Serena would always take Rei to the restroom with her, when the five girls went out, and Mina would brazenly follow them. Mina would take Rei, and slip away with her when all the girls were together during one of their daily study sessions, and Serena would get up, and go look for them.
Everyone, but Rei, it seemed, had noticed that Mina had a crush on her. The others had noticed the soft sighs of desire, the intense gazes that Mina gave Rei, the seemingly casual way that Mina frequently took Rei's hand in her own, and laced their fingers together. The others had noticed Mina's possessive behavior towards Rei. More than that, the other girls had seen in amazement, how much bolder, and brazen, Mina's touching of Rei had become, to the point that they had seen her actually fondling the gorgeous brunette's breasts. Even moreso, were Serena's intense jealousy, and frequent bouts of rage when she saw Mina, and Rei together, and her now almost constant fights with Mina.
Finally, for the very first time in her life, Mina, goddess of love, senshi of beauty, and desire, had fallen desperately, hopelessly in love, with Rei, the goddess of fire, the senshi of passion.
Amy, and Lita had noticed Mina's sudden crush on Rei, but said nothing. Serena had noticed Mina's sudden attachment to Rei, and was enraged, constantly bickering with Mina over Rei. If Rei had noticed Mina's sudden attraction to her, she was silent about it, and did nothing to stop Mina's advances. Instead, Rei allowed Mina's passionate, increasingly bold touches, that were becoming more, and more intimate with each passing day.
One day, all five of the girls were at the Hikawa temple, Rei's home, and were she served as priestess, studying for a test in algebra that would be given the very next day. Rei got up from her seat at the table, where the others sat in silence, intensely studying.
"Back in a minute, guys," Rei said with a smile, "have to go to my room to get my biology book."
"Kay," the other girls mumbled, as they kept their noses within their books.
Mina watched Rei get up, and leave the room. Wordlessly, Mina got up, and followed Rei. The others stopped studying, and watched Mina leave. Serena was about to follow Mina, but Amy held her back, mumbling that she had to keep studying. Amy, and Lita exchanged knowing glances, knowing what Mina was up to.
Mina walked down the hall, and entered Rei's room. Mina found Rei standing next to her desk, rummaging through a pile of schoolbooks.
Mina came up behind Rei, and wrapped her arms around the girl's tiny waist.
"Mina...."
"Yes.....Rei.....I," Mina was trembling, as she held the girl's curvaceous body tightly against her.
"What is it, Mina?"
"Rei.....well.....have you noticed....I mean......you, and I......we haven't ever really talked......we have never....really been alone together.....I mean.....I never get to see you.....like.....this.....," Mina's voice had become husky with passion.
"But we see each other every day, Mina," Rei said, as she turned in Mina's arms, and faced her.
"But we see each other when the others are with us," Mina replied complainingly, "I want to see you......alone."
"Well....ummm......yes.....I suppose," a very embarrassed Rei said softly.
"Rei.....I.....uuummmmm...."
"Mina, why are you so nervous?"
"Rei......I want to.....to get to know you better.....to be closer to you.....I....I want to......well.....I want to live here with you!"
"Okay."
"What?" Mina was shocked at Rei's quick, simple reply, "that's it?"
"Yes."
"But, Rei....will your grandfather approve?"
"My grandfather really doesn't censure me, and pretty much gives me free rein over my life, Mina."
"Rei....." Mina was so happy, that she gathered her friend up into a huge bear hug, "I'm so happy...."
"Mina....don't crush me!" Rei was laughing, as she tried to escape from Mina's iron hug.
"Oh.....ooopppsss.....sorry, Rei."
Then, Rei, still in Mina's arms, said in a grave tone; "oh, but there are conditions, young lady!"
"Like what, miss high, and mighty senshi of fire?" Mina asked.
"Well....miss stuck up senshi of love, and beauty, help me clean up around here, do the cooking sometimes, do the dishes, take out the garbage......trim the hedges around the temple, sweep the steps....." Rei replied with an evil smile.
"You.....YOU SLAVE DRIVER!" Mina yelled as she quickly pushed Rei onto the bed, then threw herself on top of her.
"Mina.....stop that! GET OFF ME, you silly chicken!"
"I don't do TOILETS, Rei! I am not a silly chicken. Take that back, or I'll torture you!"
"HAH! Mina, you couldn't torture an egg into hatching!"
Mina shifted, but kept herself firmly anchored to Rei, and with one free hand, began to tickle her beautiful fire priestess mercilessly.
Rei began to laugh uncontrollably, and thick tears ran from her eyes, down her rosy cheeks, as she managed to cry out several words, before another bout of laughter overtook her; "HELP! RAPE!"
Rei somehow managed to flip Mina over, and tried to escape. But a very lithe, swift goddess of love trapped her stunningly beautiful brunette from behind, pulling her back into her grasp. Amid laughter, and squeals, the two girls wrestled, and Mina managed to tear Rei's shirt open, and almost off her shoulders. A stunned Rei managed to grab Mina's short skirt, and tear it off her. Then, Mina grabbed Rei from behind, somehow managed to loosen the girl's khaki shorts, and pull them all the way down to her ankles. Rei caught hold of Mina's t-shirt, and tugged so hard, that it tore down the front. Mina quickly shook off her t-shirt, dove madly at Rei, pinning her down on the bed, pulling on the girl's shirt so hard, that it finally tore away from her lovely body, then Mina grabbed at Rei's white, lace bra, tearing it easily off the fire senshi. Mina was now on top of Rei again, tickling the helpless, laughing girl everywhere, including handling Rei's soft, supple, firm breasts.
Suddenly, both girls were stirred from their feisty game by souds; giggling, snorting, and gasps.
"Uh, oh...." Rei said.
"Oooopppsss....." Mina replied.
At the door to Rei's room stood an angry, jealous Serena with her arms crossed, and behind her stood a giggling Amy, and Lita.
The scene that met Serena's angry, sapphire eyes was quite suggestive; Mina on top of Rei, both of them disheveled, almost nude, and Mina's hands on Rei's breasts.
"What are you two DOING?" Serena's shrill voice sounded quite angry, and indignant.
For years, Serena, and Rei had been secret lovers. Serena had enjoyed Rei's beautiful body, and now she was jealous, and enraged that Mina had taken her place in Rei's arms. Serena considered Rei to be exclusively hers. Now, Serena had the pure urge to just violently strangle Mina, her Sailor Venus.
"Nothing," Mina, and Rei replied in unison.
"It doesn't look that way to me!" Serena exclaimed angrily, her voice raging like sudden thunder, as she glared dangerously, venomously at Mina.
Amy, and Lita, who had known for a long time now, just what Serena "DID" to Rei during her sleepovers at the temple, couldn't help themselves, and began to tease Serena.
"Oh....I think we should leave, Serena....THEY WANT TO BE ALONE!" Amy exclaimed loudly.
"What a lovely couple they make, don't you think so, Serena?" Lita asked, as an evil smile lit her beautiful face.
"STOP that you two!" Serena yelled at Amy, and Lita, "it isn't funny."
"Its not what you guys think," Rei exclaimed.
"Yeah....sure!" Serena replied, her angry voice laden with irony.
"Mina's moving in with me," Rei said happily.
"No!" Serena exclaimed anxiously.
"Why not, Serena?" Mina said angrily, "why do you care? Its none of your business anyway."
Amy, and Lita fell into another fit of uncontrollable giggling.
"Aaaawww, POOR Serena!" Amy exclaimed, "no more "FUN" sleepovers for you in Rei's bed!"
"No more "MASSAGES" for Rei from your "CAPABLE" hands, huh Serena?" Lita asked teasingly.
Serena began to cry, and sob deeply, then turned, and ran from Rei's room, followed by two apologetic, yet still giggling Amy, and Lita.
"What was that all about?" a very confused Mina asked.
"Oh....nothing really," a very embarrassed, blushing Rei replied.
"So....Rei......I guess I'm staying tonight; a sleepover to celebrate my PERMANENT sleeping over."
"Clever line, Mina."
"Since we're the same size, Rei....I'm going to need something of yours to wear."
"How do you know we are the same size, Mina?"
"I took your measurments when I was tickling you, Rei."
"You are so lewd, Mina."
Mina only smiled evilly, and winked mischievously at her new roommate, and best friend.
"So....Rei....no more sleepovers for Serena?"
"Oh, God.....NO.....I can't handle two blonds at once......"
"BLONDS have more fun, Rei."
"BRUNETTES are sexier, Mina."
"NO WAY!" Mina shouted.
"Well I don't see you trying to feel Serena up, Mina......but you certainly like to play doctor with me....and I am the sexiest brunette of ALL!"
"Why.....you..........doctor, huh? I guess I'll just have to "TAKE" your measurements AGAIN, Rei!"
"Oh......NO!" Rei yelled in terror as she tried to get away, but Mina had already managed to grab a pillow, and hit her with it.
If the study session was over, if Amy, Lita, and Serena had gone home, Mina would never know, or care, because she was busy, involved in an intense pillow fight with Rei, whom she later grabbed, and proceeded to tickle, and totally undress.
The first night that she spent at Rei's, was like heaven for Mina. The blond goddess slept with Rei in her arms. All of Mina's feelings of loneliness fled, as she held the beautiful brunette in her arms, as they shared the same bed, and the same pillow. Never in all of her life, had Mina felt such pleasure, such joy; never, not even during the nights that she spent with a male lover. None of her former lovers could compare with what Mina had now; the sensations were different. A man's body was strong, hard, lumpy, and his smell was strong, overwhelming, musky. But to Mina, Rei was soft, warm, plush, an endless series of voluptuous curves that seemed to fit her own beautiful body like the missing piece of an incomplete puzzle. To Mina, Rei's scent was like flowery incense, from her silky, obsidian hair, to the fragrance of her unbelievably silken skin. Mina sighed, as she woke up several times during that first night, and spent a few moments each time, to watch Rei as she slept. Now, Mina wondered how she had been able to live up until now, living only from the love of men, never having known the unbelievably exquisite beauty, and feel of a woman in her arms, of the most beautiful woman that she had ever seen, her priestess of fire, her senshi of passion.....Rei. Now, Mina knew that she had been born for this moment; for this fate, that she had only merely existed in the barest sense of the word; but that now she was finally, truly alive, as she embraced the most beguiling, the most beautiful of the Sailors in her pale, slender arms; her Rei, her love.
The next day, an excited, anxious, overjoyed Mina dragged Rei to the mansion that she had lived in, picked up some of her belongings, stuffed them quickly into a duffle bag, turned her back, never to return. Mina was eighteen now, of age, and finally able to decide where, and with whom she wanted to live. Mina's parents weren't even home to say goodbye to their estranged daughter.
Mina didn't just move in with Rei; Mina took over Rei's life. Mina had brought very few things over from her house, to the temple, especially her clothes. Mina was now wearing Rei's clothes, reading Rei's books, listening to Rei's cd's, watching Rei's movies, and.....reading Rei's secret diary.
"MINA!" Rei exclaimed, when she saw her personal diary in Mina's small hands, "how could you? Give that back to me!"
Mina was laughing, running around the room, waving Rei's diary in the air, and fleeing from Rei's desperate grasp, "wow, Rei.....what a love life.....you slept with....Chad....Andrew.....Dave.....William......," Mina stopped cold, when she read off the last name on the list of Rei's lovers; "DARIAN?"
Rei had stopped chasing Mina, and now sat quietly on her bed, "he was my first love, Mina."
"Does Serena know this, Rei?"
"It wouldn't matter if she did know, Mina. It was a long time ago. He left me almost right away."
Mina quickly handed the diary back to Rei, "hey, Rei.....I won't tell anyone what you wrote, ok?"
"I know you won't, Mina."
"You trust me....just like that....so quickly....so easily, Rei?"
"I trust you with my life, Mina," Rei replied quietly.
"Rei.....no has ever said that to me before," a very moved, tearful Mina took the gorgeous priestess in her arms, and hugged her, "thank you...."
"Stop being so silly, Mina."
"Rei......"
"Hhhmmmm?"
"Rei.....can....I......write in your diary?"
Rei started laughing so hard, she was actually crying, "oh.....my God....you are so......oh....alright!"
"Wow......" Mina said to herself, when Rei agreed......."oh....wow...."
Rei handed the diary to Mina, "help yourself, silly chicken....." then the senshi of fire got up off the bed, and headed towards the bathroom.
"Where are you going, Rei?"
"To take a bath, then go to bed, Mina."
"Pretty early, isn't it Rei?" Mina was actually batting her eyelashes at the gorgeous brunette.
"Your flirting techniques are so.......eccentric, Mina," Rei said as she went into the bathroom, turned on the shower, adjusted the water temperature to lukewarm, undressed, and got in.
Mina knew that Rei was in the shower....nude. Unable to hold herself back anymore, the beautiful blond undressed quickly, went into the bathroom, parted the curtain, and got into the shower with a VERY shocked priestess.
"MINA?"
"Close your mouth, Rei....you'll swallow all the bubbles!"
Mina's comical comment was enough to make Rei forget her apparent embarrassment.
"You stutter like a turkey, Mina."
"Ooohhhh......you!" Mina exclaimed in mock anger, "give me the soap, you crazy thing," Mina took the soap, and soap towel, out of a startled Rei's hand, and expertly began to lather the girl, "we'll be in here like two dried prunes, all night, if I don't bathe you, Rei!"
"Hey! I am not a BABY! I can bathe myself....stop that, Mina....or....I'll....."
Rei was quickly shut up by Mina's soap covered hand.
Mina had worked up a huge, thick, mountain of lather that seemed to stubbornly refuse the falling spray of water's attempt to dilute it. Amid Rei's squeals of surprise, and embarrassment, a very determined, greedy, blond goddess Mina lathered her ravishing friend's voluptuous body, taking advantage of the situation to fondle, caress, and pinch a distraught, nervous, ticklish goddess of fire, who tried in vain to avoid her wandering hands. At the same time, Mina managed to lather herself, shampoo Rei's raven locks, then her own as well.
Amid a flurry of laughter, and protests, somehow, the cold water got turned on, showering the stunned, screaming girls, who quickly got out of the shower, and exited the bathroom.
Once outside the bathroom, a persistent Mina pursued Rei around the room, finally trapping her, and began drying off the girl with her gigantic, plush, pink towel.
"Mina?"
"Yes, Rei?"
"Shouldn't you UNWRAP the towel from around your body FIRST, and then dry me with it, Mina?"
"Oh......yeah!"
It was true; Mina's towel was still draped around her shoulders, and back, as she used what little was left of it to dry her precious senshi of fire in the slowest, most erotic manner possible.
"Mina...."
"Yes? What now, Rei?"
"Well....Mina....now you aren't using the towel to dry me....you're using your BODY....and....well....we're BOTH nude....and....STANDING TOO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER!"
"Yeah.....you're right, Rei.....I can fix that!"
"NO......Mina.....WAIT!"
Mina didn't wait, as she quickly, expertly pushed Rei back onto their bed, and then fell on top of her.
"Oh.....this....is so......much better," Mina managed to say in a low, husky voice, as her mind, and beautiful body exploded into a million, tiny lights, as a trillion bolts of pure ecstasy shot through her at the delicious contact of Rei's soft, naked skin against her own bare body.
Mina's mind reeled with delight, her heart raced madly, like a winning stock car, as she felt the touch of Rei's skin against her. To Mina, Rei felt like the soft, warm, silken surface of a newborn child. Rei's body was so plush, that Mina wanted to drown in it for eternity, "oooohhhhh......I.....Rei......"
Mina's last intelegible thought vanished, as she began to grind herself against Rei's beautiful, voluptuous body.
Silken skin, and warm, plush curves melted into each other, as the two girls embraced, tangling their curvaceous legs into a single strand of shapely flesh. Bare, quivering breasts lost their roundness to each other, as pert, hardened nipples brushed against each other, then fused, as if in a permanent kiss. Mouths sought each other out, hungrily joining, mingling saliva, as Mina's bright, pink lips covered Rei's ruby lips, with fervent desire.
Like two, medieval violins playing a single melody, the beautiful girls writhed together, grinding against each other in a slow, constant, intimate rhythm that didn't waver, or stop.
Mina moaned, as she desperately tried to slow herself down, to lengthen the undescribable joy, and pleasure that she was experiencing, as her entire, beautiful body surrendered to her intimate dance of desire. With a fierceness that she could hardly recognize within herself, Mina clung to her beloved Rei, who not only submitted to her, opening herself to the blond's passion, but who returned every kiss, and carress with equal fervor, and desire. Finally, the two girls climaxed; Mina first, then Rei seconds later. The quivering, profound sensation of pleasure that joined them, began to ebb away, as they seemed to slide down a smooth mountainside, after having gloriously skyrocketed to the stars.
After a few minutes of trying to calm herself, Mina was able to speak, "Rei...." she whispered, "can we stay like this for a while? I need to feel you close to me....."
Rei's reply came gently, like the kiss of a butterfly; "yes...."
Mina fell fast asleep, enveloped in warm, silken, slender, pale arms, and sprawled upon an exquisitely shaped, plush, voluptuous body of pleasure; Rei.
Once more, reality came crashing into Mina's mind, as beloved memories faded back into darkness, and she returned to the present; to the barren, dark wasteland that Serena's pettiness, and wrath had condemned her to.
"I will always love you, Rei....no matter how much of an eternity apart we are.....I carry you in my heart."
Mina floated silently along, glancing down at the burnt, yellow-gray earth beneath her. Once more, Mina closed her eyes, and returned to the past.
Two weeks had passed for Mina in absolute happiness. Every night, the beautiful blond senshi of love slept with her gorgeous fire goddess in her arms. Often, at night, Mina would awaken, and spend long moments, just staring at the sleeping girl in her arms. Slowly, Mina would bring her hand up, and begin to caress Rei's firm, supple breasts, outlining their roundness with a delicate finger, enjoying the wondrous, silken softness of their skin, and finally teasing the round, red nipples that crowned each breast. During the first few times that Mina touched her, Rei woke up to catch an embarrassed, blushing Mina touching her intimately. Rei would regard the beautiful blond for a few seconds, then her half-lidded, sleep laden, cerulean eyes would close once more, as the stunning fire senshi would sink once more into the arms of awaiting dreams, that would carry her briefly into wondrous, far-away worlds. For an overjoyed Mina, Rei's quick return to deep slumber was a sign of trust, and acceptance of her bold, intimate caresses. So, from then on, Mina continued with her erotic touches, delightfully exploring her friend's pale, soft, warm, statuesque body in pure rapture. And as for Rei, the goddess of fire, and passion, she was never disturbed again by her companion's gentle, erotic touch.
For Mina, it was a nagging question; were she, and Rei a couple, were they lovers? No words passed between the two girls about what happened between them; it just happened, and they accepted it as being natural, and continued on.
Every night, Mina would wait up in bed for Rei to finish whatever task still awaited to be completed, so that the beautiful brunette could retire for the night. Mina found that she couldn't sleep, unless Rei was with her, in her arms. Mina's heart would leap with joy, and she would wrap her arms around her gorgeous, raven-haired senshi doll, when the girl finally lay down in bed beside her.
Mina would lovingly cuddle her gorgeous friend, then make love to her. Afterwards, both girls would lie in silence, tightly embraced, till sleep overtook them.
Mina's wandering memory finally moved on to the fateful night that had changed her life forever, and finally led to her forced imprisonment on this strange, dark, barren world.
The nightclub, Tensama was dimly lit, yet filled with colorful, flashing lights that gave everything an eerie glow that disappeared briefly between the intermitent flashing. Mina's mind was spinning, drowned by the explosive, echoing music around her that bounced off the walls, ricocheting like lost, angry bullets, and pounding into her ears.
Mina had silently sat down at her table next to Darian. Serena sat on the other side of Darian, and the three of them watched Rei, Amy, and Lita standing close by, leaning against a wall, laughing, gossiping about the people dancing. Ken, and Greg, stood on the other end of the beautiful trio, watching them with interest.
"Aren't brunettes absolutely beautiful?"
Mina had been staring at Rei, and was startled out of her revelry by Darian's voice, "huh?"
"Well, aren't they?" Darian asked, as a small smile lit up his handsome face.
"Yes, they certainly are," Mina replied with a sigh.
"So many different shades," Darian continued to say teasingly, "Amy, with her dark brown hair, confusing Lita, with her golden auburn hair, almost blond in the sunlight, yet dark enough to be a brunette, and of course....Rei," Darian watched Mina's beautiful features closely, studying them, as if her thoughts were somehow mirrored there.
"Yes," Mina replied dreamily, as she continued to stare at Rei.
"Your brunette is quite.....exquisite, Mina," Darian said knowingly.
"What do you mean HER brunette?" Serena asked angrily, as she too, awoke from her quiet, romantic revelry of Rei.
"Lita is Ken's brunette, Amy is Greg's brunette....of course I'm YOUR brunette....aren't I, bunny?" Darian asked his lovely, delicate, blond bride, Serena, addressing her by his favorite pet name for her.
"Yes.....of course you are, Mamo...."Serena replied quietly, guiltily, as she gazed up into her handsome lover's dark eyes.
Serena simply looked away from Darian's probing eyes, that seemed to cut into her very soul, easily exposing all of her most intimate secrets, as she tried to hide the hurt in her crystal blue eyes. But her tender lover, Darian, pulled her close to him, and he lifted her chin with his free hand, making her look up at him, "I know about you, and Rei, Bunny.....but we have an arrangement.....remember? Each of us can lead their own life, but not fall in love, bacause that will interfere with our duties. You have fallen in love with Rei. That is against our agreement. You have to let her go."
Serema simply began to cry softly, as she closed her eyes, hiding her face in Darian's firm shoulder.
All three of them; Serena, Darian, and Mina, were watching Rei closely. At that moment, a young man approached Rei, took her small hand, and led her out onto the dance floor.
The dance floor was crowded, as an endless sea of young bodies moved together to a primal, musical beat that seemed to surge through their bodies, more powerful than blood itself. But then SHE came, the senshi of passion, wearing a tight, red dress, the color of her element; fire. Instinctively, the people moved aside, knowing in a primal sense that this was no ordinary woman, but a creature of enchantment. The stunningly beautiful vision was led by the hand of a handsome man, who was prouder than any man born as he showed off his prize. Then, as the music flowed, she was unleashed upon the crowd, and the people around her made room to watch her dance, to flow as she flowed.
She was like the surface of a smooth, calm, crystal lake. Then she moved, her beautiful, voluptuous body swaying softly at first, like the first small ripples upon the calm surface of a lake, signaling the coming of a storm that creeps in without warning. As the music began to flow into her, becoming the very life of her young body, the raven haired beauty danced at a more heated rhythm, moving her wide hips, shaking her shoulders, as her nubile, firm breasts jiggled sexily. Her long, curvaceous legs moved to the overwhelming musical beat, as the rest of her body followed, like a first ripple on a silken, smooth fabric comes alive into a million wrinkles, and folds.
Mina watched her only love, with her small hands balled into fists, her heart tight with aprehension, and fear, as Rei danced closer, and closer to the man dancing with her. Rei, and her partner were much too close to each other, and Mina didn't like it at all. Just then, something happened that changed everything; a second man cut in, pushing Rei's dance partner rudely to one side, and claiming the girl for himself. The two men started shoving each other around, fighting, shouting, as they fought over Rei, who stood back, and smiled, pleased at the reaction she caused in men, enjoying the primitive display of violence, of fierceness of the men.
"You, and Rei are very alike, Mina," Darian said to Mina.
"What do you mean, Darian?"
"You turn men into fools, Mina. Rei turns men into stupid beasts."
The fight on the dance floor had spread, so that now, more than two men were fighting over an amused Rei, who had stepped back. Now Rei accidentally bumped into two pretty, young women who stood behind her. Rei's overwhelming beauty, and her primal magnetism soon had the two women shoving each other, arguing fiercely over which one of them was going to buy Rei a drink at the bar.
"I'm going to go get Rei before she starts a war," an amused Darian commented.
"No....I'll get her, Darian," Mina said, as she held him back.
Finally, Mina had an excuse to leave the table, to leave Darian, and Serena. Yes, they were her friends, but it felt to Mina as if she were in a prison. Mina only wanted to be with her love; with Rei.
Mina quickly got up off her seat, left the table, left Darian, and Serena behind, who watched her leave, knowing how eager the blond senshi was to be with Rei. Mina stepped out onto the dance floor. The beautiful blond goggess of love snaked her way around admiring men, who asked her to dance. But Mina's heart was like stone to the men who desired her, her face was cold, expressionless to them, as she moved past them, past their lust-filled gazes.
Mina quickened her step, her heart racing madly, as her soul cried out to touch Rei once more. Never, had the beautiful goddess of love ever felt such a strong need for another person. Mina, or Venus, as she had been known in a distant time, had always been detached, superficial. But now, at a distant time, far removed from her past glory, the goddess of love was weary, tired, and longed for the slender, pale, loving arms of her fire senshi to hold her for forever, as she slipped into the darkness of eternity.
Mina reached out, and her entire body screamed in joy, as she slipped her pale hand into Rei's soft one, "Rei...." she said huskily, as she felt her nipples harden, pressing up against the fabric of her brassiere, as goosebumps began to form on her arms, and breasts. Mina pulled her ravishing lover quickly away from the two, arguing women, from the angry, male rivals on the dance floor. Mina pulled her beautiful treasure quickly away into a dark hall, until the girls reached a restroom. Mina quickly ushered her gorgeous senshi doll of fire inside the empty restroom.
Mina stood with her back against the door of the restroom, as if assuring herself that it was truly shut. Mina stood silent for just one moment, as her sapphire eyes traveled over Rei's voluptuous, slender form, over the way her short red dress clung so tightly to her curves, over how the girl' long, raven hair danced upon her pale shoulders, and how wild, dark bangs framed her beautiful, oval face, over her glowing, blue eyes, over her moist, full, ruby lips.
"Rei....."
"Hhhmmmm?"
"No more dancing for you, Rei."
"Hey!"
"No more dancing," Mina said huskily, as she approached Rei, "no more going off by yourself....no more parties....I want you with me every single second of the day, and night....I can't bear to be away from you Rei!"
"Oh.....Mina....." Rei whispered, her voice satin on a soft, golden breeze.
"I can't bear to see anyone else but me touch you, Rei....I want you in my arms forever.....I'm in love with you."
Mina leaned into Rei, and wrapped her arms around her only dream, the love of her lonely life. In a heated frenzy, the blond senshi of love, kissed her beautiful, raven-haired obsession. With ease, and skill born of many lovers, Mina made love to Rei's full, crimson lips, sucking, enjoying their thickness, tickling Rei's tongue with her own, feeding her senshi of fire her saliva, enjoying the startlingly smooth surface of Rei's small, pearly white teeth, as her eager tongue danced over them.
Suddenly Mina heard the restroom door open, and looked, thus reluctantly parting her full, pink lips from Rei's ruby lips. Mina was startled to see Serena, Amy, and Lita enter the restroom.
"See?" Serena almost yelled, "I told you that they were lovers!"
Amy was silent, and in her silence she agreed with Serena.
Lita was more sympathetic towards Mina, "so what, there's nothing wrong with their loving each other. Besides, Serena, you're angry because Rei isn't yours anymore."
"What?" Mina was shocked by what Lita had just said.
"I thought you knew, Mina," Lita replied quickly, "Serena, and Rei were lovers."
"I didn't know," was all that Mina could say, as she turned to look at Rei.
"Yes," Rei said ashamedly, as she pulled away from Mina, believing that the beautiful blond would hate her now that the truth was out. Rei moved away from Mina, believing that it was better for her to leave, before her heart was broken by Mina's cruel words of rejection, "I want to go now....."
"Rei....." Serena said pleadingly, as she stepped forward, with arms outstretched towards the ravishing brunette.
"No.....no.....NO!" Mina cried as she reached out, and grabbed Rei's raven mane, wrapping the long, dark locks in her small fist, and pulling the retreating girl back towards her, "I am NOT letting you go, Rei!"
"But I though you would hate me, Mina," Rei said, surprised at the blond's reaction.
"Rei.....PLEASE....come back to me....." Serena pleaded with tears running from her sky blue eyes.
"NO!" Mina exclaimed angrily, "you have Darian, Serena.....Rei is MINE!"
"I guess you don't know about that either, Mina," Lita said quietly.
"What else don't I know, Lita?" Mina asked impatiently, "I thought I knew everything, that I was a part of this group, now I'm begining to wonder just what I'm doing with you guys. I feel like an outsider."
"Well....Mina....Darian, and Serena love each other, but they aren't really lovers. The two of them have.....an arrangement; each one of them can have outside lovers, as long as it doesn't interfere with their duty to marry. Darian is a homosexual, Mina......Serena is.....bisexual."
Serena reached out, and caught hold of Rei's pale hand, "Rei....I need you......I can't bear not having you in my arms.....I love you so much!"
"But you don't love me enough to leave Darian," Rei replied sadly.
"You know that I can't, Rei,"Serena said, her voice filled with anguish, and desperation, "I'm destined to marry Darian, we are both destined to rule earth as king, and queen. I will bear him an heir."
"I don't want to be a second hand love, Serena," Rei replied vehemently.
"You know that isn't true, Rei," Serena exclaimed desperately, "I love only you. But I have a duty to be with Darian. I can't change that."
"Rei....."Mina said passionately, "I love you with all of my heart. Please, Rei.....please marry me."
At first it seemed totally laughable; Mina, goddess of love, Sailor Venus, senshi of love, and beauty, goddess of love, of sexual desire, of men, of heterosexual love, was madly in love with a beautiful girl, and proposing marriage to her.
"Please, Rei....: Mina had gotten down on her knees, "my heart is in your hands," the beautiful blond senshi begged her goddess of fire, "you are my only love. I will dedicate my eternity to loving you. Please, Rei....please be my wife."
Rei didn't hesitate, as she smiled, as she helped Mina up off her kneew, "yes, Mina."
An overjoyed Mina hugged her gorgeous senshi doll, as tears ran from her gloriously blue eyes, as she started to cry, and laugh at the same time.
"NO! It can't be.....I won't let you go, Rei," Serena said angrily.
"Too late," Mina almost yelled back at her defeated, blond rival, "Rei is mine forever now."
"This isn't the end of this, Mina,"Serena replied angrily, "I won't let you get away with this."
"Enough!" Amy yelled, "we are being summoned," Amy had taken her beeping scanner out of her purse, "unknown entity has just materialized on the mainstreet area of Yushima Dr. east side of Tokyo. We must go at once!"
The five girls forgot their differences, as they came together as heroes, as a winning team of defenders of Tokyo. The five girls closed their eyes, and concentrated, and each one called out the name of her planet;
"Mars power!" Rei yelled.
"Jupiter power!" Lita yelled.
"Mercury power!" Amy yelled.
"Venus power!" Mina yelle.
"Moon power!" Serena yelled.
Suddenly the restroom was filled with a bright glow that engulfed the five girls. When the glow subsided, in place of the five girls, stood the five, valiant Sailor Scouts; Rei; Sailor Mars, Lita, Sailor Jupiter, Mina, Sailor Venus, Amy, Sailor Mercury, Serena, Sailor Moon, leader of the Scouts, and future queen of earth.
There was another flash of light, and all of the five Sailor Scouts disappeared simultaneously from the restroom.

chapter 2; Blow of Pain
The monster raged furiously, it's growls seeming like thunder, making the roof of the building that it stood on, tremble, and the earth beneath the building quake.
The monstrous, tentacled creature moved quickly, raising havoc, as it threw everything within it's reach over the edge of the battered roof, and down onto the streets below, as a rain of destruction upon the heads of screaming onlookers, and desperate tenants that tried to get out of the way, out of the building that the monster would most certainly destroy.
The monster roared loudly, trying its best to instill fear in the puny humans in the streets below. The monster waved it's tentacles, and made it's many eyes glow with a strange, unearthly light. In short, the monster was doing it's very best to appear frightening, because that was his job, the reason that SHE had summoned him, then brought him to this world.
SHE had opened a portal to his world, and had called him. Bewildered, and confused, the monster had responded to the woman's call, curious as to why a human would invoke him. She spoke eloquently to him. She promised him what he had always dreamt of; she would give him human form, and a life amongst humans on earth. That was what the monster had always desired; to escape his miserable, lonely existence on his dead planet, to be human, to have a companion, to be loved, to live in sunlight. All he had to do in return for the woman, was to kill someone for her. It didn't matter to the monster that he would have to commit murder to achieve his dream; he was capable of slaughtering a million times over if it meant that he could become human.
The monster roared once more, quite sure that the Sailor Scouts would come to confront him. He was supposed to kill one of the Scouts; the one who wore orange, and white, a blond one, who wore the mark of Venus....then SHE would make him human in return, and he would live happily for the rest of his life on earth.
Suddenly, the monster saw the Sailor Scouts appear; five, bright lights that materialized out of no where, each light taking human shape, then standing defiantly before him.
The Sailor scouts surrounded the monster; he already knew them well by the descriptions that SHE had given him; the tall one in green was Jupiter, the one with short hair, in blue was Mercury, the one in white was the leader, Sailor Moon, and off to one side stood the most beautiful of the group;the voluptuous, raven-haired one in red was Mars, and the last one in orange, a blond girl was his intended victim; VENUS.
"Surround it!" Serena yelled at the Sailors, for she was their princess, their leader, "Jupiter, Mercury, to the left, Venus to the back, Mars stand close to me!"
"Be careful, Serena, you're the one facing it directly!" Mercury yelled at her princess.
"Mars......come closer to me!" Sailor Moon exclaimed, as she held her hand out to the ravishing Sailor of fire.
"No....wait....."Mars said uneasily. Mars didn't like this order, because it placed her much too far from her lover, Venus, who was left completely unprotected, a very vulnerable position behind the monster, who could very easily turn quickly, and destroy her. Something about Serena's order to her made Mars nervous, "this is wrong."
"YOU MUST OBEY ME, MARS!" Serena shouted angrily at her senshi of fire.
"Yes, my princess," Mars replied quickly, as she took the place indicated by Serena.
The monster whirled around quickly, and blindly attacked Sailor Venus, hitting her with a beam of pure energy, and putting all of his fierceness into that one single blow.
Rei watched in deep horror, as her lover, Venus, was engulfed in a beam of energy that the tentacled monster had struck her with. Seconds passed, that seemed like an eternity for the beautiful senshi of fire, as she sprung into action, squeezing every last ounce of strength from her young body, as she tried desperately to reach her lover, Venus.
Mina, Venus, found herself suddenly paralyzed by an unexpected blow of energy that the monster had hurled at her. Venus felt bolts of pure pain traveling through her beautiful body, and she heard herself scream in terror. Then, Venus saw something that filled her heart with joy, yet also with terror; it was her beloved Mars, running towards her, so quickly, that the girl seemed to become a colorful blur, "NO, Rei!" Venus wanted to shout, but she couldn't form the words with her mouth, yet her mind screamed them, "stay away, Rei! Please! I don't want you to die too!"
Serena watched in absolute horror, the happenings before her sky blue eyes; the gray, tentacled monster striking Venus with a powerful blow of energy, then.....unexpectedly, Mars hurling herself between them.
Serena was trembling now, because this wasn't supposed to be happening....Mars, her beloved Rei, HER Rei, wasn't supposed to interfere. Serena had ordered Mars to stand close beside her, to keep the girl as far away as possible from Venus, so that the blond senshi of love, the thief who stole Rei from her, would be isolated from the rest of the group, when the monster struck her, and finally KILLED her with his energy beam.
Serena's love, and desire for the ravishing senshi of fire raged within her supple breast so deeply, that she was capable of any treachery, just to get her beautiful lover back from the arms of Mina, the senshi of love, and beauty. Serena had secretly opened a dimensional portal with her powerful moon scepter, and had invoked the monster, promising it human form, and a human life, if he killed her greatest enemy, Sailor Venus. But this wasn't supposed to happen; Mars wasn't supposed to get in the way.
"No!" Serena cried out in tears, "NO!" she screamed at the top of her voice, as she watched Mars, her life's desire, quickly intercept the energy beam that connected Venus, and the exhausted monster, "NNNNNNOOOOO!" Serena's voice became a long, painful wail, mingled with sobs, as she watched her plan to destroy Venus backfire, as she watched Rei, her beloved become a human shield for Mina.
In pure desperation, Rei, Sailor Mars, had hurled herself forward, almost seeming to fly, as she extended her arms, and jumped into the white light that enveloped her lover, Mina. Within seconds, Mars was directly between Venus, and the monster, as she felt the monster's energy enter her body, penetrating her to the very core of her being. All that Mars could see before her was nothing but white, blank space, as she reached out desperately, trying to find her lover, Venus. Then, despite the searing pain that coursed through her, driving her almost to the edge of insanity, Mars found Venus, and embraced her.
Somewhere through the maddening, paralyzing pain, the two lovers found each other. Mina, who's mind had already accepted thoughts of death, who's eye's were closed in darkness, as she accepted her dark fate, suddenly stirred as she felt a familiar warmth engulf her, as she felt a familiar, slender arms surround her, holding her tightly. Venus smiled through her intense pain, despite her suffering, as her heart was flooded with joy, as she opened her eyes, and saw her lover, her life's obsession, Mars, embracing her. "Rei...." Venus said in a soundless voice, for in that strange, brief, colorless void where both girls were now trapped, there was no sound, "Rei......you came.....now I'm not afraid to die.....because I'm taking you with me......" Venus's slender arms came slowly up, and circled Rei's tiny waist, drawing the girl even closer to her, "I love you, Rei.....forever.....in darkness, in light.....you belong to me."
"Yes, Mina.....forever," Mars replied in what was more of a velvet thought, than a verbal sound.
"My love....." Venus replied within her mind, as she leaned in, forgetting the pain that now flowed through her body, as she tilted her blond head slightly, and passionately kissed her voluptuous brunette senshi doll, as she parted the girl's full lips with her tongue. Then, as both girls tongues connected, they also felt the electric currents rushing through their bodies connect, and become ONE single current of energy.
"NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!" Serena's wail of pain, and anger once more tore through the air, frightening Jupiter, and Mercury, and also startling the tentacled monster that held Venus, and Mars in the grips of his power.
But Serena, Sailor Moon, had reason to cry, as she watched the Sailor lovers kiss, because now she knew that Venus had taken Mars away from her forever, that the two girls had bonded even more deeply, that Mars was forever lost to her.
"Sailors Jupiter, and Mercury......attack.....ATTACK! KILL THE BEAST! KILL IT NOW!"
The monster turned suddenly, at the sound of Sailor Moon's voice. The monster was so enraged, that he unconsciously released Venus, and Mars from his death beam. The monster turned towards his BETRAYER, towards the one who had summoned him there, and had promised him so many things, Sailor Moon, determined to kill her, even if it meant that he would never be human, that he might even die, but he would be avenged. But, before the monster could even form a single thought, he was struck from all sides by the combined forces of Jupiter, Mercury, and Sailor Moon. In a great wail of bestial pain, the monster was consumed in fire, leaving nothing but ashes where he once stood.
It seemed like an eternity, but actually it had only been about fifteen seconds since the now defunct monster had attacked Venus, then about ten seconds since Mars had intervened between them, and had become engulfed herself in the energy beam with Venus. Now, both girls lay on the floor of the building's rooftop, side by side, unconscious.
"QUICK!" Mercury yelled, as she, and Jupiter, and Sailor Moon approached the two, fallen Sailors, "we have to get them to the lab!"
"I'll carry Rei!" Jupiter exclaimed, as she took Mars in her arms, and easily lifted the girl up in her arms.
"I'll take Mina," Amy replied, lifting the blond senshi in her slender arms.
Instantly, all of the Sailors began to glow in one, single, bright light that intensified for a few seconds, then disappeared as suddenly, as it had begun, taking with it, all five Sailors.
The lab that Amy had mentioned was a secret bunker located 100 feet under Tokyo's most luxurious hotel, "Miramar," which just happened to be the property of a handsome, young playboy named Darian, and a gift to him for his twenty first birthday from his obscenely wealthy parents. It was in that secret lab equipped with the most modern devices, bought with the millionaire allowances of wealthy brats, Darian, Serena, Lita, Mina, Amy, and Rei, given to them by their wealthy families, that the secret super squad monitored Tokyo, and the rest of the world. It was in that secret lab, that both Amy, and Darian, super genius minds in science, engineering, and medicine, invented new, powerful devices to use in their constant fight against the world of crime, and it's minions, and held the most innovative experiments in cloning, and life extension. It was to that secret lab, that the Sailors took their fallen sisters, Venus, and Mars, aka; Mina, and Rei.
Two hours had passed since Amy had placed Mina, and Rei into seperate, life sustaining glass tubes filled with a liquid that resembled embrionic fluid, monitored their life signs, and sustained them alive. Amy had watched the progress of her two dear, friends. Lita had gone to fetch Darian. Serena hadn't stopped pacing, or crying for the entire two hours.
"This is impossible!" Amy cried, as she checked the computer monitoring both Mina, and Rei.
"What is it, Amy?" Serena asked anxiously.
"Serena....princess," Amy said respectfully, as she bowed before Sailor Moon. Of all the Sailors, Amy was the most reverant, respectful, and loyal towards Serena. Amy was also secretly in love with Serena, but suffered in silence, knowing that her affection would never be returned, because Serena was deeply in love with Rei, the senshi of fire, "Serena....Mina, and Rei's life signs have changed drastically since they were brought here to the lab."
"So? Will they survive, Amy?" Serena asked, quite preplexed, "is this good, or bad?"
"Well, Serena....it depends....when Mina, and Rei were put in the life-sustaining tubes, their vital signs were erractic, but DIFFERENT. Now, their vital signs are EXACTLY THE SAME!"
"That is impossible, Amy!"
"But that is what the readouts from the computer monitoring them is giving me, Serena. Mina, and Rei now have the same blood pressure, the same pulse, the same EXACT brain wave patterns....I've even checked further; they both now have the same blood type, the same exact count of red blood cells, and white blood cells, their DNA patterns have altered, so that they now have the same one, hair follicles, and skin cells match exactly on the both of them. Right now, at this very INSTANT, both Mina, and Rei's hearts are beating at the same EXACT rhythm. Outwardly, their appearances are as always; but inwardly, they appear to be EXACT duplicates; CLONES of each other; from height, to weight, to body measurements."
"NO!" Serena yelled, "that musn't happen!"
"But it has happened, Serena. Whatever the creature did to them....is.....well it has just begun. The effects of that creature's beam hit Mina, and almost killed her, and almost drained her completely of her life source. If it hadn't been for Rei intervening when she did, Mina might have been killed."
"I know," Serena replied quietly.
"The only explanation that I can think of, Serena, is that Mina is somehow living off Rei....Rei's life source is keeping Mina alive."
"Then the two of them can't be seperated?" Serena asked, still hoping that somehow there was one, last, desperate way to recover Rei for herself.
"I don't think that we should seperate them for now, Serena. I think we should keep them both here in the lab for at least a few weeks. Maybe these conditions are temporary, and will reverse themselves automatically, and Mina, and Rei will return to their normal selves."
"Maybe...."Serena whispered hopefully.
"There is just one, last, disturbing detail, Serena," Amy said anxiously.
"What is it, Amy?"
"Well....Serena, both Mina, and Rei's life signs are slowly evolving, slowly becoming LESS human. The effects seem to be greater in Mina....she is metamorphing....and.....well.....she is slowly taking Rei with her."
"I want you to save Rei, Amy!"
"But.....what about Mina? I can't just let her......"
"You MUST obey me, Amy. I don't care about Mina. I WANT YOU TO SAVE REI!"
"Yes, princess," Amy replied, as she bowed obediently, casting her eyes downward, to hide her true sentiments, that she would disobey Serena, that she would try to save BOTH Mina, and Rei.
Serena turned, and walked away, thoroughly convinced that Amy would obey her blindly.
After a few hours of monitoring both Mina, and Rei, Amy moved them to an available room with two seperate beds with Darian's help, who carried each one at a time in his arms, and placed them on their respective beds.
Rei finally regained consciousness, after almost four hours of what seemed to be a coma-like state. The senshi of fire was up, and around almost immediately, much to Amy's surprise.
"Amy?"
"Yes, Rei, I'm here," Amy replied soothingly, as she went quickly to the beautiful brunette, who had just sat up in her bed. Amy sat next to her dear friend, and lovingly ran her hand through the stray, silky locks that fell on Rei's smooth, alabaster forehead, "how do you feel?"
"How is Mina?" was all that Rei could say, it was all that she could think of now.
"Mina survived the creature's attack thanks to your intervention, Rei," Amy replied calmly, with a smile, as she gently took the girl's hand in her own, "she almost got killed, Rei....but you saved her....and almost lost your own life doing it."
"It doesn't matter, Amy........."
"Rei....."
"Hhhhmmmmm?" Rei felt a great wave of relief overwhelm her heart, as she sighed, for in the darkness of her mind, as she lay trapped in her deep coma, she had screamed like a maddened animal, in a dream where she had arrived too late, and her golden angel had died.
"Just lie back down, and go to sleep, Rei....."
"What about....Mina?"
"Don't worry about her, Rei...." Amy said reassuringly to her friend, "she is still asleep, and I will be right here to look after her, and you......now just relax, and get some rest."
"Oh......yes.....thank you......Amy......" Rei's beautiful, cerulean eyes closed, covered by her long, thick, dark lashes, as the ravishing, raven-haired senshi slipped into a peaceful sleep.
Dark, and light swatches of reality fought before her muddled mind, as Mina suddenly recovered her consciousness, and returned to reality. Slowly, Mina returned to life, as in her prison of darkness, trapped in her quiet maddenss, she had screamed in sheer desperation, amid a dream where she survived the monster's attack, and her stunningly beautiful, senshi doll of fire was torn forever from her arms by the cold claws fo death, "RRREEEEEIIIIIII!"
"Mina!" Amy was quickly at the beautiful blond's side, trying desperately to comfort her, "Mina.....don't....Rei is fine.....she just went back to sleep......just now......"
"I don't believe you.....where is she, Amy?" Mina exclaimed frantically, "you're just humoring me......you're lying to me.......Rei......my Rei is dead!"
"You BOTH survived, Mina......please believe me!"
"Rei......" Mina whispered weakly, "Amy.....I'm so weak....so tired......everything is spinning around....."
"You have to keep still, Mina.....just lie back down, and don't move your head too much."
"Amy.....I'm slipping away........everything is getting so dark......"
"NO! MINA, STAY AWAKE!" Amy panicked, because it was evident that the blond senshi of love was dying right before her very eyes.
At that very instant, Rei woke up, and sat up in bed, "Amy? AMY!" Rei called out, "help me....get beside her!"
Amy did as Rei bid her. Swiftly, Amy helped a weak, shaky Rei get up from her bed, and moved her the short distance to Mina's bed. Amy then helped Rei sit next to the now unconscious Mina.
Amy was shocked to see Mina wake up, and respond when Rei simply touched her. Mina instantly recovered at her ravishing lover's touch.
"Rei...." Mina sighed, as a weak smile lit her pale lips, and her eyes glowed with a deep, sapphire fire, as she took the beautiful girl in her arms.
"Its incredible!" Amy thought to herself, "Mina really is living off Rei's life source....just now, she was dying....and now.....just touching Rei brought her back!"
"Rei....my Rei...." Mina whispered, as she moved painfully to one side, making room on her small bed for her precious lover, "I love you so much...."
"I know....." Rei replied, in what seemed like a low, velvety sigh that made the lovely blond tremble, "I can feel your love.....I love you too, Mina......"
"I can feel you inside me, Rei....."Mina said softly, as she took her gorgeous lover into her arms.
The stunning brunette was silent now, as she settled into her blond lover's slender arms. The senshi of fire lay her dark head on Mina's shoulder, and fell asleep quickly. Nothing more was said between the two, gorgeous, shenshi lovers, as they entered their world of dreams, as their long, silky manes settled around their heads in mixed shades of an evening, setting sun; half day, half night.
"Oh.....I can't tell this to Serena!" Amy said with worry, and desperation filling her heart.
"What can't you tell me, Amy?"
Amy was startled to see Serena in the small room, standing beside her, looking down disapprovingly at the two, sleeping Sailor senshis on the small bed, "tell me what, Amy?"
"Mina, and Rei' connection is deeper than I originally thought, Serena."
"What do you mean, Amy?"
"I think that they have only ONE mind between them, Serena....I don't think that their condition can be reversed."
Serena simply started to cry, as she fell on her knees, before the bed where Mina slept with Rei in her arms. Violent sobs wracking Serena's slender body, and thick tears blinded her beautiful, sky blue eys, as she reached out with a trembling hand, and tangled her fingers in Rei's silky, raven tresses.

chapter 3; Serena's Desire
Days passed slowly for the tired senshi of water, Amy, as she watched patiently over her friends, Mina, and Rei. It seemed that Rei recovered quickly, for in just two days, the gorgeous senshi of fire was up, and about, and caring lovingly for her Mina, her blond lover. Mina was extremely weak, and could hardly move at all, possibly because she had taken the greater force of the tentacled monster's energy blast, and had almost been drained completely of her life source.
It seemed as if Rei had never been sick, or on the verge of death itself, and it was almost as if she was back to her old self. Rei took great care of her beautiful, blond senshi of love. Everyday, Rei would bathe, clothe, and feed Mina. Rei would never leave Mina's side, catering to her every whim. Rei would read to Mina, brush, and braid her long, flaxen hair, give her massages, and hold her tightly when the blond senshi cried out of fear, and shame.
Mina could hardly move by herself, that very first week that she woke up from her almost fatal sleep of death. Inside, Mina's mind worked properly, but physically she was far from well. Mina was stricken by an almost overwhelming weakness that almost paralyzed her completely. At times, Mina felt like screaming in her deep despair, and many more times, the senshi of love, and beauty wished that she were completely dead. But the constant presence of her stunningly beautiful, brunette lover, kept Mina from going mad. Amid her strange malady, Mina could still feel deep pleasure, as her ravishing senshi doll of fire embraced her, and whispered gentle words of love, comfort, and encouragement in her ear.
Mina thought that she had loved Rei deeply before the almost fatal attack of the tentacled monster that nearly killed her. But now, Mina felt her love for Rei deepen into pure adoration, as she watched how the girl lovingly, and diligently cared for her. With tears streaming from her deep, blue eyes, Mina would watch as Rei bathed her, then dressed her. Rei would feed Mina with infinite care. Rei would massage the blond's tired body. Rei would soothe Mina's sexual arousals for her with velvet kisses, and gentle caresses. Mina would close her tired eyes at night, and sleep peacefully, feeling Rei's slender, gentle arms around her.
Mina would watch the others come, and care for her; Lita would come, and feed her sometimes. Amy would come, and read to her. Darian would come, and tell her stories, and make her laugh. But they would all leave, returning to their own worlds. Only Rei would stay with her day, and night. The only one who never came, but greeted her cooly from a distance was Serena, and Mina was glad to keep it that way.
Serena kept her distance, and watched with guilt, and longing, as Rei, her precious lover grew farther, and farther from her; as far as eternity. Serena would cry herself to sleep, missing the warm, voluptuous body of the fire goddess inher arms. It just wasn't fair that Rei was no longer hers. It was her fault for not having left Darian for Rei. But Serena had explained it to Rei many times; she was destined to marry Darian, it was her duty, but that was all. Serena's marriage to Darian was of convenience, but not love. Of course, Serena, and Darian felt affection for each other, but there would never be any real, sexual, romantic love between them. Darian was a homosexual, and would continue to have a secret lover even after his proper marriage to Serena. Of course, Serena would do the same; her secret lover would have been the gorgeous fire senshi, Rei.
Serena had explained the circumstances of her future marrieage to Rei a million times; yes, she was to marry Darian, but no, she would not share his bed. Her marriage to Darian was one of convenience, but not love.
Serena had promised Rei her heart, but could not promise the ravishing girl her life; and that was what Rei wanted most from her. Rei didn't want to live in the shadows, she didn't want to have love halfway. No. Fiery, passionate Rei wanted all of Serena; her time, and her life, and since she couldn't have that, she simply slipped away from Serena's embrace.
Now, Serena watched in silence, pain tearing at her tormented heart, as Rei, the love of her life, grew forever away, and out of her desperate reach.
A week passed in the agonizingly slow recovery of Mina, the blond senshi of love. Mina's travails were to be long, and difficult. Gently, slowly, Mina began to thrive once more, and the strength returned to her young body. Mina was eventually able to sit up, then dress herself, eat on her own, walk for at least a short distance. Mina did recover, but she still clung wholly to the her gorgeous lover, Rei, who was constantly at her side.
One lazy afternoon, while Mina lay in the small bed that she shared with Rei, while she slept profoundly, her senshi doll, the goddess of fire, slipped quietly away from her, from the tight prison of the beautiful blond's arms. Rei left the room where Mina slept, and entered an adjoining room that was filled with stacks of books, newspapers, and magazines, and served as a sort of small library for the group of crimefighters. Rei passed several high stacks of medical, scientific, and engineering books that belonged to Amy, and Darian. The senshi of fire went directly to the stacks of fashion magazines, and romance novels that lay scattered in a corner, where she, Serena, and Mina loved to sit on an old sofa to read them. Amy would get angry at them, and call such things "poisonous literature," then sneak in after all of the gang was gone to read them herself. Rei smiled at the memory of catching a supposedly totally logical, studious Amy drooling over the pages of one of the more erotic romance novels.
Serena would usually be the most lazy, unpunctual person in the world for everything in her life. But for the last two weeks, Serena had been coming in almost at dawn to the lab, with a single purpose; to see Rei. Amy would smile, and shake her head at the sight of a pale, blond girl, still with half-lidded, sleep laden eyes, tousled hair, improperly dressed, slipping into the lab just to see Rei, just to watch the beautiful brunette asleep in Mina's possesive arms.
Pity would flourish in Amy's heart, as she watched the poor, lovesick Serena kneel beside Mina's bed, and silently watch her two senshi sleeping. Serena would reach out, and gently caress Rei's sleeping face. Amy would have to stop looking, for tears would come, unbidden to her dark eyes, as she watched the sad, tormented look in her princess's eyes. Amy loved Serena more than anyone, and would gladly comfort her. But Amy knew very well that Serena would never accept anyone else in her aching heart, that would always belong to beautiful Rei.
"I think that Mina loves Rei dearly, with all of her heart," Amy whispered to her own, aching, unfulfilled heart, "but I think that Serena is the one who loves her the most.....how I envy Rei....."
Smiling, Rei sat on the sofa, and began to read her romance novel about a handsome pirate who kidnapped a beautiful, wild-hearted princes. Rei then heard a feather light footsteps coming down the hall, and smiled knowingly, "I'm in here, Mina...." Like the softes echo, Rei's voice flew from her full, ruby lips to the air, to the walls of the room that surrounded her in quiet presence, to the welcoming entrance of the room, through which came an unexpected presence.
"No....its not Mina...." a soft voice responded playfully, "its me......"
"Serena....." Rei's beautiful countenance lost it's playful mask, her fine-features became engulfed in shades of worry, "what?" Rei felt suddenly very uncomfortable, out of place, guilt flooding her heqrt at the memory of Serena's love for her. Rei felt shame for being caught alone there, without Mina being present, "I'm sorry, Serena...I'll leave right away...." Rei got up from the sofa, but was stopped by an anxious, eager Serena.
"No.....Rei....please don't go."
"I have to go, Serena. I can't stay. You know why."
"Please, Rei.....don't run from me....I need to see you."
Serena's soft presence, her supplicant voice seemed to calm the nervous senshi of fire, who quietly sat back down on the sofa. Serena kneeled before Rei, and got as close as she could to the ravishing brunette.
"Serena.....please....don't...."Rei squirmed as Serena placed her small, pale hands on Rei's lap.
"Rei.....I love you....oh......Rei....." Serena's voice was already husky with love, with need, as she felt her desperate passion explode, causing her entire, slender frame to react, "please....just talk to me......." Serena said, as she tried to control her trembling body, knowing that her apparent arousal would only frighten Rei away from her.
"Alright," Rei said, unsteadily, as she sat back down on the sofa once more.
"How are you, Rei?" Serena asked anxiously, trying to steady her wandering hands.
"I'm as fine as can be expected, Serena."
A pause settled between the two, young women, as memories of their passion rose up within their hearts, and minds, as Rei unwillingly recalled, as Serena lovingly reminisced every moment of their time together.
"This isn't right, " Rei whispered, as shame filled her heart.
"You're remembering....you can't help it, Rei," Serena said with urgency, "you still love me....."
"We've been over this before, Serena, " Rei said nervously, as she began to squirm. But the more Rei squirmed, the more Serena advanced, opening a quick, forced path into the brunette's voluptuous body, "Serena....stop that......don't."
But Serena could no more stop herself, than she could stop breathing, as she agressively pushed Rei back onto the sofa, and climbed on top of her, "Rei....please....I love you.....I need this!"
"NO.....Serena.....I love Mina!"
Serena was crying now, as she hungrily settled onto Rei's warm, plush, curvaceous body. It had been so very long, since the beautiful, silvery blond Serena had felt Rei beneath her, and she had ached every single day, painfully, for this feeling once more. Serena was addicted to Rei's voluptuousness, to her scents of flowers, and incense, to the marvelous, silken softenss of Rei's alabaster skin, to the thrilling fullness of Rei's ripe, red lips, to the roundness of Rei's supple breasts against her own, to the velvety thickness of Rei's deep, raven locks tangling hin her pale, slender fingers. Serena was so very desperate, like a powerfully addicted fool who grabs at the drug she knows will satiate her needs. Now, Serena was far beyond the dictates of her mind. Now, Serena was ruled by her love, by her fiery passion that rose from the primal depths of her young, aroused body, "I love you, Rei....I need to touch you....to make love to you, or I'll die...."
"Its too late, Serena....let me go.....please...." Rei pleaded, but knowing it an impossible thing, knowing that Serena would not release her, knowing that Mina had just awakened from her sleep, and would come looking for her, would find her like this, trapped in Serena's arms, and that all hell would break loose, "Mina...."
At that very instant, the shadows parted from Mina's eyes, as she felt a strange urgency within her, a restlessness that seemed to call to her, "Rei?" Mina opened her eyes completely now, and turned her blond head, looking about her in confusion, searching for the warm body of her lover, realizing that the girl was gone from her arms. Mina sat up in the tiny bed, and looked about her, "I know Rei isn't far away...how far can you go in this lab? And Amy would kill Rei if she went outside...." Mina closed her eyes for just a moment, and concentrated, as she tried to link telepathically to her lover, "Rei is in the library....something is wrong.....Rei needs me...." Mina got up from the bed, as she moved quickly towards the door, as she felt nervous, as she acutely felt her lover's discomfort, as if she were Rei herself.
Meanwhile, Rei tried unsuccessfully tried to still Serena's gentle, wandering hands, "Serena, don't....Mina is coming."
"You remember my love, Rei.....your body still remembers me....." Serena said through her thick tears, as she ground herself into Rei, in a wild, erotic, desperate sway, "YOU STILL LOVE ME!"
Rei said no more, as her full lips were captured, and sucked, and kissed hungrily by Serena's moist, pink lips.
"WHAT IS GOING ON?"
At the entrance to the small library, where Serena ravished Rei, stood an angry, jealous blond senshi named Mina.
"SERENA, GET OFF MY WIFE!"
"REI BELONGS TO ME!" Serena yelled back at an enraged Mina, "she was mine first. YOU STOLE HER FROM ME!"
Serena had removed herself from Rei, and now stood up, facing Mina. Now Serena was going to do something that she desired more than making love to Rei; she was going to tear Mina to pieces.
Mina felt like she was going to explode. All that Mina could feel was the overwhelming urge to kill Serena with her bare hands. But suddenly, Mina felt a strange throbbing within her that began to turn into an intense pain, "ooooooohhhhhh....what's happening to me?" Now, Mina doubled over, agony written indelibly on her pretty, blond features, "Rei....I need you," was all that Mina could say, because at that moment, all that she wanted to do was to touch her precious senshi doll, thinking that would stop the terrible, almost crippling pain that now wracked her body.
"NO!" Serena screamed, as she pushed Mina back out into the hall, "I WON'T LET YOU TOUCH REI EVER AGAIN!"
"Serena.....DON'T!" Rei cried desperately, "please let me go to Mina.....SHE NEEDS ME!"
"NO!" was all that a vindictive, enraged Serena could yell, as she held Rei fast in her arms, "you're MINE, Rei, and I am never, NEVER going to let you go!"
"REI!" Mina screamed in pain, "REI, HELP ME!"
"MINA!" Rei cried now, as she struggled to free herself from Serena's iron embrace.
Mina was screaming now, and her beautiful body seemed to be stretching, cracking, with skin breaking, and horrible, grayish tentacles coming from within her. Then, there was a loud, popping sound, a flash of intense, white light, then Mina, in her human form disappeared. What there was instead, was a huge, grayish, many tentacled monster like the one that had previously attacked Mina, and Rei. But this one wasn't the other monster; this one was Mina, monstrous in form, and still enraged, jealous, and MURDEROUS.
"NNNNNNOOOOOOO!" Rei's cry seemed to be ripped from her bleeding flesh, "MINA....NO!" Rei still struggled to reach her lover, who was now a twisted pile of monstrous flesh, "MINA!" But Rei was unable to break the iron, vice-like grip of Serena's slender arms around her tiny waist.
Mina, now transformed into a monstrousity, was nonetheless human within, still in love with Rei, still angry, jealous, and extremely resentful of Serena. Seeing that Serena kept Rei away from her, a deeply enraged Mina blindly attacked the princess that she had once sworn to serve, and protect forever.
Serena turned, and was shocked to see Mina charge wildly at her. Out of pure instinct, Serena freed one hand, and from her fingers issued forth a blinding blast of light that quickly engulfed the tentacled thing that Mina had become. Quickly, a dark chasm appeared; what seemed to be a void that surrounded Mina, and swallowed her. All that could be heard now, were the distant echoes of Mina's cries, now bestial screeches of a thing that no longer had a voice.
Silence fell heavily, seeming more like a heavy, life-absent thing, than the usual mantle of peace that it usually was. The silent wave lasted for a mere few seconds, only to be shattered by a long, painful wail.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
At the sound of Serena's scream, Amy, Lita, and Darian came running as fast as they could. All three of them entered the library, to find Serena weeping on the floor, lying on top of Rei, who was deathly pale, and as still as death itself.

chapter 3; Giving up for love
Lita kneeled, and quickly tore Serena away from Rei. Serena struggled, but Lita embraced her in loving, but firm arms. Darian, and Amy touched Rei's slender neck in search of a heartbeat, or a pulse.
"Amy," Darian said gravely, "Rei hardly has a heartbeat, its very weak....and her skin is so cold."
"She hardly has a pulse, Darian," Amy replied worriedly, "we need to get her into the stasis tube quickly!"
Darian quickly took the almost lifeless of the fire senshi in his arms, and rushed down the hall with her to the mini-lab, with Amy in tow behind him.
Meanwhile, Serena cried deeply, heavy sobs wracking her now weak frame, as Lita comforted, and held her.
"What happened, Serena?" Lita asked the girl gently, as she cupped the blond girl's face with one hand, making her look up.
"Mina.....attacked me....." Serena managed to say amid heavy sniffles, and sobs.
"Because she caught you with Rei?" Lita asked quietly.
"Yes....." Serena replied.
"What did you do to Mina?" Lita asked her blond princess, as she kissed the girl's forhead tenderly.
"I.....I...."
"Please, Serena.....tell me what you did to Mina.?
"No...."Serena replied amid her hiccups, "I sent her away to the same awful place that other monster came from."
"Alright," Lita replied, as she took Serena into her arms once more, and continued to cuddle her, and rock her back, and forth.
Three, dark, sad days passed with Rei in a life-sustaining tub, filled with an embrionic-like fluid that maintained her just barely alive. From two computers extended cords that were attached to the tube that contained Rei, feeding it enough electric current to keep Rei's heart beating, her blood flowing, and her brain barely alive. But still, Rei was on the very verge of....
"Dying," Amy was saying quietly to a tearful Serena, who had refused to leave the tube that contained Rei's body, "Serena....Rei is dying....."
"Can't you, and Darian do SOMETHING, Amy?" Serena cried, almost hugging the tube that contained Rei's dormant body.
"Serena...." Amy paused, as she took the blond girl's hands in her own, "there might be on last way to save Rei from death, but it has to be done NOW. Rei only has one hour left before her brain shuts down completely, then it will be too late to save her. She will be gone forever."
"What, Amy.....WHAT? Tell me what? I'll do ANYTHING to save Rei."
"You have to bring Mina back, Serena."
"NO!" Serena shouted angrily, "NEVER!"
"Serena....listen to me....when you sent Mina away, you robbed Rei of her LIFESOURCE. Mina, and Rei are a single entity; they can't exist seperated from each other. You have to bring Mina back."
"Its NOT FAIR, Amy. Its not fair."
"Don't you love Rei enough to save her, even if it means giving her back to Mina, Serena?"
"I love Rei more than anything in the world, Amy....but...."
"Bunny," Darian was quickly at Serena's side. Darian took the fragile girl in his arms, "Bunny, I know that you love Rei....I do too....so please.....don't let her die. Give her back to Mina."
"Darian....I can't live without Rei.....what will I do?"
"We'll help you, Bunny," Darian said lovingly, soothingly, "you will never be alone....you have us."
"Always!" Lita said firmly, "we love you, Serena."
"Yes," Amy exclaimed, "we will never leave you."
"Alright,"Serena said slowly, "I'll bring Mina back."
Fifteen minutes later, Darian had taken Rei out of her stasis tube, and had reverently laid her down on a small table, where she lay, motionless, wrapped in a white sheet to hide the nudity of her beautiful body. Now, Lita, Amy, and Darian, waited quietly for Serena to say goodbye to her gorgeous fire senshi.
Serena said nothing, as she leaned down to kiss Rei's cold lips. Serena wasn't crying now, for if she did, she would bleed through her eyes. Yet, a deep sense of peace had begun to take hold of her tender heart, because she knew that her beloved Rei would live again, even if it was to be in someone else's arms. But Serena loved Rei so much, she didn't care if the beautiful brunette was no longer with her, but with Mina; all that mattered to Serena was that Rei wouldn't die.
Serena stepped back, and raised her hand. The beautiful girl concentrated, and her fingers began to glow. The powerful moonprincess let go of a pure beam of energy that immediately opened a chasm in space. Suddenly, moans, and growls issued from the swirling, dark void, then a figure passed through it; the huge, many tentacled, grayish, floating monster that used to be the beautiful, blond Mina had come through the newly opened portal.
None of the friends dared to move, as they stared in disbelief at what their companion, Mina, had become. The grayish monster growled slightly as it floated close to the table where Rei lay in lifeless state. When the monster saw Rei, it began to tremble, and somehow make sounds that seemed to be crying. Eagerly, yet gently, the monster enveloped the lifeless girl on the table in it's tentacles. Serena cried out angrily, but Darian held her fast in his arms, as she buried her face in his chest, and cried like a baby.
Mina had been crying for what seemed like an eternity, as she floated endlessly in the barren, silent world that was to be her home forever. Now, she had no tears left, but she simply wanted to die; not because of this prison that she was trapped in, but because Rei wasn't with her. Mina hated Serena intensely for keeping Rei from her. But now, even the hatred was slowly seeping out of Mina, because she was tired, and had no use for it in such a place as she was.
When the light suddenly flashed before her, Mina's heart leapt with joy, becuase she knew it was the portal opening for her to go back home. Mina thought that perhaps it was Rei, or Amy, or even Darian or Lita calling her back. But Mina knew that none of her friends had such tremendous power; only Serena could open, and close the portal. It was Serena calling her, but Mina didn't care why, because she just wanted to go home to Rei.
Mina had entered the swirling chasm before her, only to emerge once more inside the lab. Mina was surprised to see her friends waiting for her; Lita, Amy, Darian, with Serena in his arms. Then, Mina saw Rei, lying lifelessly on a nearby table. Rei was covered in a white sheet, and she looked like a corpse. Mina was crying now, sobs making her tremble, her cries no longer human, yet still heart wrenching.
Mina lovingly reached out with what she had; once human arms, now tentacles. Gently, Mina gathered her beautiful senshi doll into herself, and held her close.
At the precise moment that Mina took Rei into her tentacles, a great light flashed, engulfing her, and Rei completely. Amy, Lita, Darian, and Serena were blinded by the sudden light's intensity, and quickly covered their eyes. When the foursome looked again, the monstrous shape was gone, only to be replaced by a very human, very beautiful Mina once more, as she now kneeled on the floor with Rei in her arms.
If Mina noticed that she was human once more, it didn't seem to matter to her. All that the blond senshi of love cared about was her beautiful, raven-haired senshi of fire, as she leaned down, and kissed her lover fully on the lips, "Rei....please wake up.....I need you.....I love you.....I can't live without you.....Rei.....please come back to me."
As if by some unexplained miracle, the stunningly beautiful, sleeping goddess of fire suddenly stirred, and moaned softly. Rei's dark lashes fluttered, her heavy lids slowly lifted, revealing her cerulean eyes once more, that tiredly gazed upward to see the love of her life, "Mina...." the girl's voice was like the softest silken whisper, as it caressed her blond lover's smiling features, "Mina."
Mina's response was her sudden cry of joy, and the numerous, loving kisses her full pink lips planted all over Rei's pale face. Finally, the golden senshi of love, kissed her fire goddess passionately on the lips once more.
After what seemed to be an eternity of the two girls kissing, Darian interrupted them by clearing his throat, "it is so good to have you two back!"
"No," Mina replied gravely, as she cuddled Rei tightly against her, "we can't stay here.....this isn't our world anymore."
"Are you kidding?"Darian asked, shocked at Mina's words.
"She's right, Darian,"Amy replied, "when you read the computer readouts on Mina, and Rei, you'll see that she is right. Mina, and Rei are no longer human; not even remotely. The two of them won't be able to abide our atmosphere for long. They have to go back soon."
"So...this is goodbye,"Lita said suddenly, as she stepped forward, got on her knees before Mina, and Rei, and hugged them both at the same time, and began to cry, "I'm going to miss you both."
Mina was so shocked at Lita's behavior, that she started crying like a baby, "I thought you wouldn't want to touch me after seeing what kind of monster I had become, Lita."
"I'll always love you no matter how awful either you or Rei get, Mina," Lita said amid laughter, and tears.
"Gee, thanks, Lita," Rei said, as she began to giggle.
Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, Amy started wailing like a baby, as she too lunged forward, got on her knees, and hugged the surprised group, "I DON'T WANT YOU TO GOOOOOOO......I'LL NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!"
"Oh, brother!" Darian exclaimed, as he rolled his eyes, "aaaawwwww.....what the heck!" Darian followed suit, as he too, kneeled beside the girls, and kissed each one of them on the cheek, and then enveloped them in his long, muscular arms.
"Time's up," Serena said coldly, as she stood alone, arrogant, queenlike, a few feet from the crying, emotional pile her friends had become, "I can't keep the portal open for much longer."
Last minute hugs, and kisses were exchanged, as the group seperated into two; Darian with his arms around Lita, and Amy, then Mina, who helped Rei get up off the floor, to stand upon weak, uncertain legs.
Mina led Rei, her precious lover towards the dark, swirling void that was the portal to what was now their world. Mina held a still weak Rei in her arms, as she turned, and looked at her friends one last time, "goodbye guys, thanks, Serena," then Mina smiled.
Serena smiled back at Mina, and nodded.
Once more, Mina's beautiful shape seemed to blur, then vanish, until she became a grayish, tentacled monster once more. The monster seemed to purr softly, as it lovingly cradled a still human Rei in its tentacles. Rei was smiling, as her small, pale hand caressed what could be called the monster's countenance. Then, the monster that was once Mina, with Rei in its arms, floated up through the dark portal, vanishing forever amid the swirling waves of energy.
Serena waved her hand slowly, and closed the swirling, dark portal, making it forever. Now it was as if it had never existed.
"Well, that went well," Darian said as he kissed Serena on the cheek, "I have to go, hun. I have to finish a thesis. See you later, Bunny."
"Oh, I have to go meet Ken for dinner," Lita exclaimed, "I think I'm already late!"
"Share a cab with me?" Darian asked Lita as he offered her his arm, and bowed mockingly to her.
"Oh, my beating heart be still!" Lita dawled flirtateously, as she took his arm, and both of them walked away laughing.
When Darian, and Lita left, Serena quickly lost her cold, proud composure, and began to bawl like a tiny baby. Amy, always loving, and supportive, ran to her princess's side, kneeled, and took the grieving girl in her arms.
"Oh....Amy....she's gone now.....really gone.....forever.....I'll never see her again."
"Serena," Amy whispered gently, "everything will be fine soon. I promise."
Without saying a word, Serena embraced Amy, and kissed her fully, passionately on the lips. A bewildered Amy waited for her princess to gently end the kiss.
"Serena?" Amy was shocked as she backed away from Serena.
"I know that you are in love with me, Amy," Serena said softly, "and I wish that I could feel the same way about you. I just wanted you to know that I do love you.....but not in the same way, and that I am so glad to haveyou with me."
"I understand, Serena," Amy replied as she took Serena into her arms, "and I meant what I said, my princess; don't worry, everything will be alright soon."
Neither girl said another word, but simply continued to hold each other.

chapter 4: Finding Love Again

Somewhere, an eternity away, on the outter fringes of the universe, on a dark, barren, solemn, forgotten world, a once sullen, sombre soul now moved in pure ecstacy, and joy.
Where once was sadness, trapped in the penumbral walls of a still human heart, was now filled with light, with the will to make a home of what was once her prison.
What was once a frail, weeping soul trapped in a monstrous form, was now a graceful, lithe creature that floated along on an invisible breeze, created by the constant flapping of her butterfly wings, as she was surounded by her flowing, endlessly long, golden locks of blond hair. A toothy grin lit her beautiful face, as she surveyed the panorama that was her kingdom; a perpetually twilight world of velvet black skies, dimly lit by two moons, one crimson, the other a pastel orange. The ground was yellowish at times, or auburn, or black. A distant scene of inmense, dark mountains rose up against the violet sky. Sparse, white cumulus clouds dotted the sky now, and then, and a vast array of distant stars accompanied the two, gorgeous moons in lighting the constantly nocturnal sky.
Mina's eyes glowed like diamonds, as she alighted upon the crest of one of the distant mountains that she had now made her home. What was once the senshi of love, and passion, had transformed from a grayish, many tentacled monster into a glorious, beautiful creature of enchantment; the beautiful, angelic-like, golden girl she had once been, but now with huge, multi-colored, butterfly wings. Now, in this strange, distant place, Mina was queen.
The golden goddess had taken flight to survey her silent kingdom, and now she returned home, to the nest she had built, to the lover, and companion that waited for her, now trapped in the gentle arms of slumber.
Mina landed softly, and her wings folded easily on her back, as she kneeled slowly next to her lover, to gaze upon the girl's sleeping form.
Upon a plush blanket of exotic, multi-colored flowers, and newly born, thick, plush grass, lay in slumber, the miracle that had transformed the once bleak world, and it's sombre queen into things of beauty; a pale, voluptuous, stunningly beautiful girl with endlessly long, thick, wild raven hair, with full, ruby lips, and glowing sapphire eyes that awakened from sleep at her gorgeous lover's tender touch.
"Rei......my love," Mina whispered with fragile passion, as her gentle fingers caressed her lover's obsidian locks, "Rei....."
"Yes....Mina....?" came the velvet reply from moist, ruby lips that the golden queen loved to suck, and kiss in heated passion, and now spread into a soft smile.
"I love you so much, Rei....." the golden queen whispered back as she settled beside her ravishing senshi doll of fire, "you brought me back to life," Mina said, with tears glistening in her blue eyes, as she wrapped her arms around Rei's curvaceous body, pulling her close, then kissing her in a passionate fervor, amid an increasing sexual vertigo, "I'm not alone anymore.....because of you......."
"Mina......we aren't really going to be the only two people on this planet."
Mina suddenly started to laugh, at the same time she was kissing Rei, and she had the silliest idea just fly through her head, "what....are we being invaded by aliens?"
"I'm pregnant."
For several seconds, Mina's mind went blank. In any other circumstance, Mina would have thought that perhaps her lover had cheated, and that Rei was pregnant by some man.....but.....BUT....she knew with a certainty beyond all doubts that Rei would NEVER have done such a thing to her, surely as she would never have betrayed her Rei for ANYONE else. Then, there was the time element; Mina, and Rei had been on this new world for nearly a year now, and ALONE....so that pretty much summed up that the only other parent the child in Rei's womb could have was....
"ME? MINE?"
Rei's full lips slowly spread, reaching out, forming dimples so perfect as to decorate the enchanting smile forming, as she displayed her perfectly shaped, small, pearly white teeth, "I don't see anyone else around here, do you, Mina?"
"But....Rei....we're both women.....how......?"
"Who cares, Mina......is it important anyway?"
Mina smiled, as she rolled her lover over, then lay on top of her beautiful senshi doll, "no, my love.....all that matters....is that its ours......"
Mina simply began to kiss her gorgeous lover, and to let herself be carried away on a wave of passionate arousal.
Epilogue.....
It was just one more depressing day for Serena, who spent nearly all her time now at the lab, because it was where she felt closest to Rei's memories,"two weeks, three days, five hours, twenty minutes.....that's how long Rei has been gone......how am I going to live without her?" Serena thought sadly. Now, the beautiful, silvery blond princess spent most of her time reading the romance novels that Rei had loved so much. But one day, Amy walked into the library where Serena sat, reading.
"Serena, I have a surprise for you."
"You brought Rei back to me, Amy?"
"Well......"
"Then I'm not interested, Amy."
A determined Amy grabbed Serena by the hair, "oh yes you are interested, Serena.....after ALL THE WORK I DID.....you better believe you are interested.....you are going to see your surprise RIGHT NOW!"
"Amy.....LET ME GO!"
But Amy didn't let go of Serena's long, blond hair, with which she had zestfully filled her small, pale fists, and now proceeded to drag her princess along in the most indignant manner imaginable. The two girls struggled fiercely, as they passed a newly arrived Darian, and Lita.
"More theatrics, don't you think, Lita, darling?"
"Oh yes, Darian, dear.....the children are never still."
"Should we restrain them, Lita?"
"Oh most certainly not, Darian. Let them express themselves. Its supposed to be healthy for them!"
"So I suppose we should just continue planning your engagement party, Lita dear?"
"Of course, Darian daaawwwwwwllllliiiiinnnnnggggggg," Lita dawled mockingly in response.
Lita, and her boyfriend of two years, Ken, had just become formally engaged, and were going to announce it at a party that Darian was throwing for them.
"Your taste is SO exquisite, Darian.....you should have been a woman."
"Exactly what I keep telling myself, Lita.....I have the wrong plumbing."
"Oh, you would make a wonderful lesbian anyway, Darian."
"?"
"Well.....you aren't going to tell me that if you were a woman you would be absolutely straight, Darian?"
"Well.......I guess not.....I've never thought of it that way......"
"Then nothing is keeping you from being as much of a woman as you want to be, Darian! And you never know......I happen to like tall, dark, muscular women........"
"Oh.....LITA.....YOU SEXY FLIRT!"
Meanwhile, Amy dragged a very angry Serena to the mini-lab where she conducted most of her experiments, quickly opened the door, and just rudely pushed her princess inside.
Serena was speechless, as she stood more like a statue, than a being of flesh, and blood, staring at the unexpected sight before her eyes; a stunningly beautiful, voluptuous, raven-haired, dormant Sailor Mars lying on top of a small table, her gorgeous body covered in a white bed sheet. A flood of crystal tears poured from Serena's once pained blue eyes, and a cry of joy that would thunder through the halls of Amy's memory forever, was torn from Serena's young throat. Serena threw herself bodily onto Rei's sleeping form, "you brought her back, Amy....YOU BROUGHT HER BACK!" Serena got up, ran to Amy's side, and hugged her tightly, almost wailing as she did, "I don't know how you did it, Amy.....I don't care.....but you did.....thank you.....thank you....."
A blushing, embarrassed Amy stepped back from an enthusiastic Serena's arms, "well.....Serena.....its not quite what you think....."
"Its REI, Amy...."
"But not exactly YOUR Rei, Serena."
"Oooooohhhh.....she is MOST definitely MINE, Amy!"
"Well.....Serena......"
"Stop stuttering, Amy, and just tell Bunny how you did it, alright already, Amy!" Darian exclaimed, as he stepped into the mini-lab.
"I found a way to open a portal to an alternate dimension, where we have alter egos that are exactly like us. The portal I opened was to a time-line where earth was devastated by a great evil, and Tuxedo Mask, and three of the Sailors were all dead. Only two were left; Rei, and Mina. I managed to rescue them from death by transfering them here to our world."
Amy was so breathless, that she swooned into Darian's waiting arms.
"You are a great genius, Amy," Darian said with a smile, seeming suddenly very effeminate, as he cuddled the shortest of the Sailors, "but you are so silly sometimes."
"So....this isn't my Rei...." Serena said sadly.
Suddenly, Rei, the sleeping beauty stirred, her curvaceous body movine, causing sensous folds in the sheet covering her. Rei's raven locks moved with her, falling around her gorgeous face, around her pale breasts, soft shoulders. Rei moaned softly, as velvety sighs escaped from her throat. Rei's eyes opened, as her thick, long, dark lashes fluttered several times, until her vision cleared, and her deep gaze fell on Serena. For what seemed an eternity, but was only a few seconds, Rei was silent, then she started to cry like a child, as sobs shook her slender form, ".....Rena?" Rei's voice was strangled, "but you're dead.....I saw you die.....I wasn't able to save you...."
Serena's heart, filled with love, with passion, and desire, was moved with tenderness, and pity towards the woman she loved more than anything in her life, even if it was confusing that this was another Rei....it didn't matter; it was still Rei....HER Rei. Serena sat on the table, next to the crying girl, and hugged her tightly, "don't cry, baby....its me....I'm alive.....everything is just fine...." Serena was no longer able to hold back her desire, as she tilted the girl's head towards her, and then kissed Rei, covering the girl's ruby lips with her own pink ones.
"Rena?" a confused Rei managed to pull back for a second from Serena's hungry lips, "but you said that you didn't love me that way......and it hurt me so much because I'm in love with you."
"Um.....Rei.....I'm not THAT Serena......your Serena was probably straight...and dead.....but I am VERY much alive, and a lesbian....and madly in love with you."
"Rena.....don't make me suffer anymore......" Rei couldn't stop sobbing, "I don't know what is going on.....this must all be some kind of hallucination.....I saw you die.......with Darian...."
"Stop that!" Darian cried, as he literally began to shiver, "I am NOT DEAD.....well at least I'm not....but that poor guy is.......so will you take her somewhere private and EXPLAIN the situation to her, Bunny?"
Rei almost fainted at the sight of a very much alive Darian.
"Rei," Serena helped Rei get up slowly from the table that she had been lying on, "I'll explain everything....I have a room here in the lab....I'm going to take you there, and we can talk."
Rei nodded silently, as she got up from her bed, and gathered the sheet that covered her, up around herself, and let Serena's arms wrap themselves around her. Serena took the girl in her arms, and slowly, the two of them walked out of the mini-lab, and disappeared down the long hall, just as Lita walked into the mini-lab.
"Rei is still weak," Amy said worriedly, as she watched the princess, and the beautiful senshi of fire leave the mini-lab, I should follow them, and make sure that Serena doesn't try to......"
A huge, manly hand covered Amy's pink mouth, thus silencing her, preventing her from finishing her thought pattern, "no....Amy," Darian said gravely, "you aren't going anywhere. Rei can take care of herself."
"But....."Amy managed to say briefly, when she took Darian's hand from her mouth.
Once more, Darian silenced Amy, but this time, he used his lips instead. Darian pulled the senshi of water quickly into his strong arms, and kissed the girl for quite a long time, as he held her fast, trapped within his powerful embrace. Darian could afford himself of kissing Amy for quite a long time, because he was breathing through his nose, but Amy wasn't so knowing of erotic ways, and was quickly struggling against the handsome hero, till she freed herself enough to breathe.
"Darian....ARE YOU TRYING TO ASPHYXIATE ME?"
"Don't you breathe though your nose when you kiss, Amy?"
"No.....um......I......."
"Oh, my God....." Darian exclaimed, mockingly, in an exaggerated, effeminate manner, as he looked up at the newly arrived Lita, "I can't BELIEVE it......Lita.....our little Amy IS STILL A VIRGIN!"
"OH NO!" Lita screamed in reply, also mockingly, laughing, "there MUST be a cure for such a dreaded desease!"
"Of course there is!" Darian replied, with an evil grin on his handsome face, "ME!"
"What?" Amy's dark eyes nearly popped out of her pretty head, "no......wait.....hey......YOU'RE GAY!"
"Of course I am, Amy," Darian said with glowing eyes, as he took the girl into his muscular arms, lifting her easily up, and over his shoulder caveman style, "I'm a LESBIAN!"
"PUT ME DOWN, DARIAN!" Amy yelled at the top of her voice, "put me DDDDOOOOOOWWWWNNNNN!"
Meanwhile, Lita laughed hysterically, as she watched Amy struggle, and cry out for help, while Darian walked down the hall with her, headed towards HIS room.
Lita was laughing so hard, that she didn't notice a soft presence a few feet away, watching her in deep shock, and surprise.
"Lita? Is that you? Is it really you?"
Suddenly, Lita stopped laughing, because she recognized the voice that had spoken from behind her, "Mina?" Lita turned to find Mina standing a few feet away from her, and just like Rei, wrapped in a white bed sheet, "I thought you were never coming back....." Lita stopped speaking, as she realized that this was "ANOTHER" Mina, not the one that Serena had sent away, not "their" Mina, "I mean......you, and Rei are......" Lita watched the look of surprise on Mina's face turn to one of utter confusion, "no....our Rei, and Mina are gone for good....." Lita's eyes gazed sadly at the girl who stood before her; it was almost as if Mina had never left, it was the same golden-angelic vision of gentle beauty that her dear friend, the senshi of love had always been, "you're exactly like her....its almost as if Mina never left."
"I AM NOT ANOTHER MINA! I AM MINA!"
Lita was startled by the beautiful blond's sudden, angry, fierce outburst, and a wave of guilt washed over her heart, as her beautiful face was drowned in a shadow, "uh.....of course, Mina.....I'm sorry.....I never meant to....." Lita was at a sudden loss for words, for a way to apologize for her callous comment, so she stepped back, then turned with the intention of leaving, "I had better go....."
"No!" Mina cried suddenly, "Lita.....wait....PLEASE DON'T GO!" Mina's voice was a wail of pain, a plea torn from her bleeding heart. Mina's deep, blue gaze moved up, and down Lita's figure, as if trying to assure herself that this was really her friend.
Tall, gorgeous, voluptuous Lita, with long, wild, wavy, golden-auburn hair that fell about her pale shoulders, her long, swan neck, and framed her exquisitely beautiful, fine-featured face, with big, glowing, emerald eyes, outlined with long, thick, raven lashes, with moist, full, ruby lips, with seemingly endless, curvaceous legs, tiny waist, with firm, round, supple breasts, with slender arms, with pale, graceful hands; unbelievably feminine, beautiful Lita dressed in a tight, short, black dress that seemed to have been poured onto her as a thick, clinging, dark liquid that outlined her exquisite curves, was the EXACT opposite of the woman that had been Mina's lover in her own world.
The Lita that Mina had loved was tall, lean, well muscled, masculine, with short, dark-brown hair, with piercing, green eyes, with strong, callused hands, and always dressed in men's clothes.
The Lita that Mina had once called her lover was a strong, agressive, possesive, jealous, determined woman; brave, brash, violent at times, dominating the beautiful, blond senshi of love in bed, and everyday life.
Now, an awe-struck, confused Mina tried to understand, to somehow believe that this wondrous sight before her actually existed; a stunningly beautiful, feminine, curvaceous Lita. Mina shook her head, trying to understand, but couldn't. There was only one answer; her Lita was gone forever. Her world was also gone. In this place she really was "another" Mina, and not the original one that this vision of beauty had known as the goddess of love. But Mina drowned out her turmoil, her sadness, as she spoke to her heart in a voice of hope; yes, the Lita she had known was gone, but still Lita was here, this Lita, who suddenly filled the blond senshi of love with longing, with desire, with deep lust.
Lita, on the other hand, was getting extremely nervous, uneasy at the lustful, hungry stares that Mina was giving her, and had discreetly stepped back several feet, and was about to leave, "I have to go.....my boyfriend, Ken is waiting for me...." the tall beauty said, stressing the word "boyfriend," with particular force. But suddenly, Lita's concentration was broken, when the cellphone in her purse began to ring insistently, urgently. Lita delicately opened her purse, took out the cellphone with her long, elegant, slender fingers, and placed it next to her ear.
Mina watched in pure rapturous wonder, every one of Lita's moves, and gestures. Mina shook her head slightly; "it feels so strange," the senshi of love said to herself, "Lita is so feminine.....so delicate......but I think that I can get used to this.....to her...." Mina was smiling now, as the sadness, and the dark memories of the past seemed to fade away, as her cerulean gaze moved up, and down the figure of the senshi of thunder, who stood before her, completely absorbed in a conversation on her cellphone, "it doesn't matter.....this is still Lita.....MY Lita......and I don't care how many times she screams "boyfriend" in my face......I won't let her go....I'll chase her till she drops..." now, Mina was truly smiling, more of a toothy grin, as her heart fluttered, as her skin broke out in an endless sea of goosebumps, and a delightful tingling began to form between her legs, "after all I am the goddess of love.....I'll just zap her with my most powerful love spell, and she won't even look at another man for the rest of OUR lives......" now, Mina was absolutely beaming, "I'm getting her into bed in about five minutes."
Meanwhile, Lita was enveloped in her own world, as she spoke to her handsome lover, who was on the other sideof the cellphone, and Mina was quietly watching her.
"Ken....Darling," Lita's vioce was playful, seductive, and it seemed to tickle Mina's insides, so that she began to tremble, "yes, Ken....but what is it?" although, Mina couldn't hear Ken's voice, she didn't want to, and didn't care, because the goddess of love was riding a wave of sheer pleasure, caused by the velvety notes of Lita's sultry voice. But Mina was awakened from her erotic revelry, when she noticed Lita's stance change from one of erotic, languid ease, to a sudden stiffening of her voluptuous body, as even the face of the senshi of thunder showed sudden anger, "What do you mean the engagement is OFF, Ken Mathews?" Lita's voice was rising in timbre, making it forceful, as her demeanor then changed to rage, to reddened, sculpted cheeks, "how can you do this to me, you BASTARD?" Mina was shocked at the force in Lita's voice, at how her full lips trembled in rage, at how her auburn mane swept suddenly off her ivory shoulders, "what do you mean I'm PUSHY? How DARE you say that I'm too BUTCH!" Lita's once calm brow was furrowed in lines of rage, turning her once serene face into a valley of destruction, "I swear, Ken......right now I really could KILL YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS!" Mina's heart jumped with joy, because now Lita was free, "oh, like I would ever marry a COWARD like you, Ken!" Lita screamed into the cellphone. At that moment, a very aroused Mina was suddenly reminded of the other Lita's quick, forceful temper, "they are so alike deep inside," Mina said to herself.
"Well you started this argument, Ken Mathews, and I am going to finish it!" Lita's ire had grown to gigantic proportions now, "you are the WORST lover that I have EVER known, and I have had a few more than I ever told you.....and you can't even get that STUPID excuse for a PENIS to work half the time anyway! What? I'M being offensive NOW? Half the time I had to BITE my lip to keep from LAUGHING! THAT'S how bad of a lover you are, Ken," Lita was now leaning against the wall, thick, crystal tears were running from her glowing, green eyes, as she tried desperately to keep her voice even so that not even a whimper escaped her lips, "NO! Now I'M
the one who's turning YOU down! GO TO HELL, YOU BASTARD!" then, Lita literally crushed the cellphone in her trembling fingers, as Mina suddenly felt the wild urge to laugh, and applaud.
Lita was sobbing now, because not only had her pride been hurt, her heart was shattered into a million pieces. Lita had been deeply in love with Ken, and he had suddenly abandoned her, like so many of her lovers; all had just turned their backs on her, without reason, without pity for her. Lita was just sick, and tired of men in general, and just sick of being alive. For once, Lita wished that she wasn't immortal.
Thick tears ran down Lita's smooth, pink cheeks, down her fine nose, and outlining her full lips. Mina was no longer able to hold back her desire, as she rushed forward, and latched onto the beautiful senshi of thunder, "oh....Lita, please don't cry.....he didn't deserve you......you are too beautiful, to wonderful for him......but you aren't alone.....I love you.....I'll never, NEVER leave you.....I'll be with you forever! Please love me back, Lita.....please." Mina exclaimed, as she trembled, as she bared her passion, her love to the woman she loved, and desired desperately.
"But.....wait.....I'm not a......I.....I" Lita looked down, amid tears, and sniffles at the beautiful girl who had embraced her. Lita was about to reject the blond girl's advances, to tell Mina that she was straight, that she could never love her that WAY. But then, Lita's mind raced back to memories of all her other lovers, all men, all proud, all promising devotion, yet none had ever looked at her the way that Mina was now looking at her; with utter, deep, hopeless desire, need, and love. Lita shook her head, as she realized that if she turned Mina away, she would regret it for eternity, that she would never find another love so deep, so true as the one this girl offered her. So, Lita made the wise decision of keeping the beautiful, blond senshi forever.
Lita looked down into hopeful, anxious blue eyes that crowned Mina's loving, beautiful face, and then she smiled, "Yes, Mina....I love you back.....I won't ever leave you," Lita realized that she was forever the loving prisoner of this beautiful, gentle creature that she had in her arms.
"Lita......oh.....my God.....Lita...." Mina whispered with fervor, as the golden goddess stood on her toes, as the gorgeous, tall senshi of thunder kicked off her high-heel pumps, and leaned down, deeper into pink, hungry lips of a lovesick goddess of love that sought out her own full, ruby lips, "oh....Lita.....will you marry me?" Mina's eager arms tightened around Lita's small waist, as Mina leaned deeper into her plush curves.
"Huh? You want to marry me? Really, Mina?"
"I don't want to be seperated from you ever again, Lita!"
A slow, beautiful smile dawned upon Lita's full, red lips, as tears seemed to glisten in her emerald eyes, as she wound her arms around the her blond senshi's slender, warm body, drawing the lovesick girl deeper into the warm, voluptuousness of her beautiful body, "yes, Mina, my love....I'll mary you," Lita lowered her head, her thick, auburn mane raining down like a mantle around her, around a trembling Mina, and she slowly kissed the blond senshi, sending the girl deeper into desire, arousing her to the point of desperation.
"Oh....Lita," Mina sighed, "please....lets go to your room....or mine....now.....I need to make love to you!"
"Well you already are naked, Mina," Lita replied, the sound of her musical laugh seeming to rise, and fall like a wanton ocean wave.
"Lita.....don't torture me.....please....."
"I guess the engagement party is still on," Lita said, as she walked out of the mini-lab, and down the hall slowly, because Mina was completely tangled in her body, "my room is closer."
At that very instant, an exhausted, sweaty, blond princess named Serena reached the twilight of the heavens, the peak of pleasure; Nirvana, as she exploded in orgasmic pleasure, as she ground herself into Rei's endlessly soft, warm, plush body, into her silken skin, into her gentle, slender arms.
Serena sighed audibly, as she lay beside the queen of her heart, Rei, the goddess of fire, "oh.....Rei.....I love you so much.....I thought I had lost you forever."
"I love you too, Rena.....forever."
Suddenly, Amy's screams, and the sounds of her struggle frighten the two beautiful lovers, who quickly get up from the bed they were laying on, and still nude, they run to the door of the room, open, and look out.
Serena, and Rei started laughing, when they saw a hopelessly, and now almost totally effeminate Darian walk by with a struggling, stubborn Amy thrown over his back. Darian set Amy down a little further down the hall, in front of the door to his room. Then Darian proceeded to take the angry senshi of water in his powerful arms, and kiss her almost to perdition. When Darian released Amy, she was smiling. Then Darian opened the door to his room, and led his beautiful, new lover inside.
The sound of giggling, and soft murmurs came from down the hall, as both Lita, and Mina walked by, tangled in each other's arms, and stopped before the door to Lita's room. The two, young women began to kiss, as an impatient, desperate Mina opened the door, and pushed her gorgeous senshi of thunder inside, and then followed, closing the door behind her.
Serena, and Rei looked at each other, and started to laugh once more, "Amy told me that everything was going to be alright, Rei," Serena said with a smile.
"I guess it looks like a happy ending for everyone, Serena......"
"For all of us, Rei.....for all of us....."
