#rei what are u doing lmao excuse her feelings shes an aries
“We’re fortunate it worked,” Kain said. He hesitated to say lucky. Lucky dismissed the power of their bond, put it up to chance. He had come very deliberately to protect her, and she had, in turn, protected him, pulling on strength no one had thought she still had.
Or so he had gathered, from her lack of transformation until that moment. Surely if she could have defended herself sooner, she would have. Soldier of Love she may have been, but she’d never shied from a fight. He’d always admired her strength and tenacity…
But now wasn’t the time for that, even if he hadn’t missed the tender look passing between Mamoru and Usagi.
“It remains to be seen if that’s a consistent requirement, of course,” Kain said, shifting a little in an effort to feel more grounded from the dizziness of being drained. He watched Mamoru track the movement, lips pursed, then looked away, grateful he wasn’t saying anything. They needed to strategize, not fuss over his momentary weakness. “But… just so I understand, the rest of you no longer have the power to transform?”
That… could be a problem. At least until they figured out how they were supposed to get theirpowers back. As far as he knew, he was the only one of the former (was it really former?) Shitennou who still owned a sword…. or a physical weapon at all, really.
How much of their powers remained, as well, was also in question. They hadn’t thought they’d need to fight again, and so he had been very remiss in pushing about what skills remained. Obviously, that was going to have to change.
“After Sailor Moon sealed Chaos away, we lost the power to transform. Our transformation pens just disappeared but it looks like new powers are waiting for us.” Makoto explained and wondered how she could reach her eternal form. It looked like it had something to do with their past life lovers but she wasn’t sure if the same thing would happen for the other girls too or if it was just Minako who got lucky.
“Maybe we should hurry up with the reunion a little. I think the others should meet the boys too. I just have a feeling things will get clearer if we meet up as soon as possible. I will even cancel all my schedule for it.” Minako suggested, deep down she knew the other three men were the answer to everything. “What do you guys say?” she looked over to Usagi and Mamoru.
Usagi looked at her fiance for a moment then nodded, agreeing to what the other blonde girl suggested. Their wedding was very soon and they still had a lot to do but this was more important right now. “What about tomorrow evening? I know you all are busy with your own lifes but everyone could finish their jobs and we could just meet up at Makoto’s cake shop right when shes closing. That way no one has to cancel anything.. Ami and Mamoru can leave the hospital after work, Rei and Minako too.. now the question is, if the guys could make it?” the soon to be bride asked as she looked over to Kain.
The soldier of Love liked the idea, but she noticed that someone wasn’t as excited as she was about the whole reunion. “Rei-chan.. whats wrong?” she called her out after noticing that she looked rather uncomfortable about this whole thing.
“Nothing.. it’s just..” she hesitated, a little surprised that the other noticed that something wasnt right. “Okay, look.. i just don’t think I can trust them. Am I happy that they are alive? yes.. hell i was so happy to hear that they were all well.. but i don’t want to get hurt again. I was fine telling myself that i dont need anyone, that i dont need a man by my side and i have to admit for a moment when Minako told us that they were alive, i was thinking about a future with himbut-”
“Rei-chan.. but you loved Jadeite.” Usagi stated and frowned at her friends confession.
“Yes.. there was a time I was deeply in love with him but he betrayed us and im not saying i didn’t forgive him, i did.. but.. i don’t think I can trust them again. I don’t think I could go through the same thing again.”
