Artemis Author's Notes: Huh, this is for fun, so let's see what happens! Thanks to Troy Stanton for confirming and helping this idea. Also, all names are correct to the RIGHT North American Dub names. This story happens basically whenever you feel like it should happen! Probably before Luna and Artemis have a kid. The night was unusually quiet for spring. No crickets were chirping, no early-early morning birds cheeping, the moon wasn't even annoyingly bright, and the sun was still one or two hours away. Despite the calm and quiet, Artemis couldn't get to sleep. He lay on his' pillow of Mina's bed, wide-eyed and awake. His mind was racing on why he was awake, but he couldn't pin it down. Then he realized he was concerned. Mina hadn't returned from the concert yet, and it was 3 AM. Eventually, the front door opened downstairs, and he heard the recognizable giggles of Mina as she snuck upstairs. The door to her room opened, and Artemis pretended to be asleep. Mina closed the door behind her and went over to her bed. "Artemis?" she whispered softly. Artemis pretended to wake up, his eyes glowing in the dark. "Oh, hi Mina. Didn't hear you come in." She smiled. "Well, sorry to wake you, go back to sleep." Artemis pretended to comply. A few seconds later, he heard Mina undressing. Artemis's mind went into overdrive. "Great," he thought "it's spring, too." After all, what could you do if you were roommates with an attractive member of the opposite sex, but you were a cat?!? Mina slid into the covers before her small white companion was tempted to look. Artemis let out a sigh, and went to sleep as Mina curled up around him affectionately like he was a stuffed animal. "This is going to be a LONG spring..." he thought. Around eight in the morning, Artemis got up and left the house before Mina woke up. He needed to take a walk and clear his head. Unfortunately, Luna caught up to him. "Soooo, lazybones." she greeted' him. "I see you finally got out of bed!" They were in an alley, so it was safe to talk. "Mina was out late last night, and I wanted to make sure she got home okay." he explained. Luna blinked. "Are you feeling okay, Artemis? You haven't once made a snide remark or joke at me today!" Artemis just passed her with a sour look on is face and went on. Luna sat there, puzzled. Suddenly, she heard an alley cat. "Oh no. I better get outta here..." she said to herself, running off before she had a repeat of the time a hundred or so alley cats tried to waste her, just because she talked. Artemis was too busy thinking to notice the five or so other cats following behind him. "What am I going to do?" he finally asked himself, trying to get Mina out of his mind. "Paris was hard enough, what about now?" For those less educated in the ways of Sailor Moon, Artemis and Mina used to fight alone under the name of Sailor V' before they joined up with the other Sailor Scouts and Luna. They did much of their fighting in Paris, France. One day, they had decided to take a train through the country side, just for fun. Actually, Artemis had been against it, saying they should have been hunting down the Negaverse. Mina eventually had to drag him onto the train in a backpack. "I thought you said we were picking up some tuna!" He gasped, poking his head out from the unzipped sack. Mina was looking out the window. "Oh, Artemis! You have to learn to relax! Besides, I got you some tuna anyway." Her feline friend looked around to see they were in a private quarters. "Oh, and how much did this cost? Remember, we eventually have to get back to Japan. That costs money." He growled, looking for the cans of tuna she promised. She shrugged. "Don't worry. I got a discount because I'm a teenager." Artemis found the cans and sat them on the table, munching quietly. The view was pretty amazing out the window, and he decided to enjoy it while it lasted. The bullet trains in Japan were based more on efficiency, not tourism. Unfortunately for Artemis, it was a very hot day. Mina was in a very short skirt and only a light jacket saved her even shorter top from the cat's wide eyes. He eventually realized he was staring at Mina's panties. His eyes went wide, and he reverted back to his tuna. "Ugh, it's hot..." Mina sighed, taking off her jacket as well. Artemis was surprised how large her breasts were for her age, and was unable to turn his attention to his food. Her hair was tied back in a variation on a French wave, which she had just started wearing, and she looked drop-dead-gorgeous. Even for cat-standards, which for talking moon cats, were pretty much the same. So, here they were. Mina leaning provocatively toward a beautiful landscape, all alone with Artemis in a steamy, secluded train car, riding through the most romantic city in the world. Artemis could barely breath as he pushed back her hair, giving him a better view of her chest. "Uh," he eventually managed. "I'm tired, Mina. Do you mind if I sleep in your bag?" Mina glanced over with a smile that almost melted him. "Sure, go ahead, but you'll be missing a great view!" "You're telling me..." he muttered, jumping into the dark secluded knapsack, away from his student. Mina shrugged. "Come out later, I'll brush your fur for you." Artemis smiled goofily. To him, that was almost as good as sex...but then he never considered that Mina was such a babe, and he realized he could very well lose control and do something stupid like try and mount her. That would end their friendship right then and there, so he stayed in his knapsack for the rest of the trip. Artemis sighed, his thoughts back in the alley way. He used to try and convince himself that he and Luna would hit it off, but she was much too serious, and had changed sooo much from the days back on the Moon. Eventually, he came to see that Mina was much more than a pupil and his responsibility. At first, he knew he loved her like a daughter, but now he realized it was getting deeper than that. He only hoped that Mina wasn't noticing. Suddenly, behind him, a loud meow' filled the air. He turned quickly to face five mean looking alley cats. His eyes grew wide, then narrowed. "Get off my back, fur balls." he growled deeply, extending his claws. "I've had a really bad day." The other cats started to circle him, hissing and spatting. Artemis knew he could drop one or two of them, but he wasn't sure about the other, bigger cats, who must have thought he was a threat to their mating practices. "How ironic." He thought "I'm going to get ripped apart like any other cat, even though I'm in love with a human." Lita held out her hand. "Paprika, please." Rei looked through the cupboards. "Uh...we don't have any." Lita went wide-eyed. "Didn't I give you the shopping list?" Serena smiled guiltily. "Sorry, but they had some wicked cool comics! And I didn't have enough for them, so I put back some stuff." Lita and Rei growled. Luna smacked Serena upside the head with her paw. "Serena, you knew we were planning this dinner for a long time!" Rei nodded. "Yeah! Lita says she'll teach us to cook, and YOU have to go and mess things up for ALL of us!" Ami and Mina just sat there, trying to stay out of it as Rei and Serena began sticking out their tongues at each other. Lita growled at the soup she was making and eventually chucked it on the floor, disgusted in not having the right ingredients. "Serena! I can't teach you to cook if you don't even bring back all the ingredients!" Mina shrugged. "So much for that. I guess Artemis won't miss much." Ami looked concerned. "Where is Artemis, anyway?" Luna walked over to them, ignoring the all-out fist fight that had developed. "I saw him in the alley on thirty second street and main. He seemed depressed, so I let him be." Mina sighed. "He's probably mad that I came home late last night. I hope he's okay. There's a lot of alley cats around that area." Serena managed to craw out from under Rei and Lita. "Maybe he's mad cause Luna's dating her new loverboy, Herculese." she grinned evily before Lita slammed into her from behind. Luna frowned then turned back to Mina. "Don't worry about Artemis. He can take care of himself." Artemis dragged himself under a garbage bag, bleedng in three different places. He managed to fend off the other cats, but he was in so much pain, he could barely move. He was safely hidden now, but he was bleeding to death. Just before he passed out, he couln't help but think back to the train in Paris. "I should have let her brush my fur..." he smiled, then everything went dark. Mina left Rei's temple early. There was a nagging thought that Artemis was in trouble in the back of her mind. She walked over to thirty-second street and went down the alley. She gasped in horror to see a small puddle of blood, with a trail leading toward a white tail, sticking out from under a garbage bag. "Artemis!" she ran over, lifting the bag off of him and picking him up gently. Artemis opened his eyes. "Oh, hi. I was wondering if you'd get some bandages?" he passed out again. Mina tucked him into her jacket and ran down the street to her house, almost in tears. He woke to the sound of running water. Artemis was bundled in a cloth, and he was in the bathroom. Mina was drawing a bath for him. His eyes went wide. He hated bathes. The last time Mina had attempted to give him one, it was a good two years ago. He tore up half the bathroom trying to escape from Mina and her anti-flea shampoo. The only concilation he got was a fur rub after wards...but again, that was before he had realized he was in love with her. He tried to squirm free, but the cloth was tightly wrapped, and he was still sore from the fight. Mina heard his straining and turned. "Artemis! Thank god you're allright!" she picked him up and hugged him tightly through the bundle. It looked like she's been crying for some time before. Artemis smiled weakily. "Sorry. Thouse damn alley cats are worse than the negaverse!" Mina smiled, unwraping him. "I'm glad you're okay." Artemis glanced nervously over to the bath. She sighed. "Now, Artemis. You're wounds will get infected if I don't clean them. You're going to have to cooperate this time." Artemis cringed as she picked him up and lowered him into the water, hind legs first. "See? That isn't so bad." she cooed softly, rubbing a bar of disinfecting soap on a cut on his neck. Artemis tried not to show he was really enjoying her soft caress. He was actually liking his bath for the first time. Mina seemed to enjoy it too, and started humming softly as she worked on the cut along his back. "So, how many were there?" she said between two verses of humming. Artemis shrugged. "Five. Only three were a problem, though. Big suckers." he said happily, realizing he was trying to impress her. Mina frowned. "You should have ran. You know you're too important to me...and the others." she added after a pause. Artemis paused. "I know, I know..." "What were you doing there anyway?" Mina asked, attending to his last cut. Artemis tried to think up a good lie. "Uh, I, just had some thinking to do." He cursed inwardly. "Stupid brain..." he thought. "Luna said you were kind of down. Is there anything I can do to help?" she asked happily. Artemis stopped himself from saying You could get naked for me' and just shrugged. "I don't know, Mina. I've just had a lot on my mind." Mina sighed. "Well, I'm done, but I'm not sure how to rinse you off. You're fur's too thick to just use a cup, and it's too cold outside to just hose you down." Artemis gasped as Mina started to undress. "What are you doing?!?" he said, flabbergasted. Mina frowned. "I'm going to turn on the shower to rinse you off. I can't do that unless I'm in there with you. Someone has to hold you up to the shower head." Artemis held up his paw. "Oh, don't worry. If it's too much trouble..." Mina sighed. "Don't worry. It's just like a bath, no need to be scared." she said, now only in her underwear. Thankfully for Artemis's sanity, she kept her undergarments on and drained the tub. She got in behind Artemis and turned the shower on. Artemis had meanwhile tried to look away, but got a few glimpses of Mina's near- naked body, now shiny from the water. He was starting to blush, making himself turn pink around the nose. Mina picked him up and put him into the shower spray. "See? That isn't too bad, is it?" she smiled, turning him around to clean off his fur. Mina had developed quite a bit more from three years ago in Paris. Artemis knew that, but never dwelled on it. But now, she was holding him just inches away from her large, firm breasts, who were now only covered by a soggy, half-see-through bra, while her gentle touch was rubbing his fur with steamy water. Mina gasped as Artemis suddenly jumped out of her hands and ran out the bathroom door after literally ripping his way through the shower curtain. "Artemis? What's wrong?" she called after him, getting out and drying off. Artemis ran out into the street and hid in a bush. He couldn't believe what just happened. "Is she trying to do that?" His heart was pounding against his little rib cage like never before. A second later, he would have leapt on Mina and started licking her uncontrollably. It was just too much. He ignored his desire ro run back in there, but couldn't stop thinking about Mina being naked. "Man," he said out loud "now I need a cold shower.." Mina woke up the next morning and looked over to Artemis's pillow. He wasn't there. She grew concerned. "Artemis?" she said out loud, just incase he was nearby. No answer. She got up and went over to Cherri Hill. Rei answered the door, already in her robe. "Mina? Hi! Come in!" she exclaimed sleepily, letting her friend come in. "Why are you up so early? It's summer holidays!" Mina smiled. "Why are you?" Rei glanced to her clothes. "Oh, I was meditating all day yesterday, so I didn't need much sleep last night." She paused. "How's Artemis? Did he come home okay?" Mina sighed. "That's what I wanted to talk to you about." "He's not lost, is he?" Rei asked, concerned. "No, I found him in the alley." Mina and Rei sat down on the steps. "He was beat up by a bunch of alley cats." "Oh no!" Rei gasped. "Oh, he's okay," Mina smiled. "Just a few cuts and bruises." "That's good. So what's the problem?" Rei asked suspiciously. Mina shrugged. "Well, when I was rinsing him off in the shower, he went all mental and ripped out into the street. I haven't seen him since last night." Rei blinked. "How did you get him in the shower? I thought he hated water." "He actually didn't mind the bath part." Mina said. "But I had to get in the shower with him and hold him up. That's when he went crazy on me and took off." Rei had a curious smile on her lips. "You mean you were taking a shower with a talking white cat?" Mina scowled at her. "Oh, come on. I wasn't naked or anything." Rei was still smiling. "Then what were you wearing?" Mina shrugged. "My underwear. Why?" Rei raised an eyebrow. "Well, you have to remember that Artemis IS a male." Mina blinked. "Yeah, but he's a cat, and he never was to timid about sleeping next to me or anything." Rei patted her on the shoulder. "Oh, come on. You two have been together for three years now. And I know hundreds of boys who would give anything to be a cat for a day to look up girl's skirts." she smiled. "But he's not like that. He's really quite a gentleman, if you don't listen to what Luna has to say about him. He's probably just shy and doesn't want to offend you." Mina shrugged. "I guess so...I mean, I was half naked in the shower with him..." Rei nodded. "I'm sure it's nothing. He's probably back at your house right now." "Yeah, but..." she paused. "It seemed like something more than that." Rei sighed. "Well. I have to take a nap, then Grandpa wants me to clean out the fire pits. That's an all-day job. You wanna help? We can talk about it more?" Mina smiled. "Oh no. You're not getting me to clean those stinky, charcoal lumps again! I'll come by later." she got up and left. Rei shrugged. "It was worth a try..." she yawned and went back inside. "Boy am I glad my crows can't talk too!" Mina kept going over the sequence in her mind. What was she thinking? She shouldn't have put him in such a position, she knew that now. But the way he ran off wasn't just him being shy. It was something else. The sky was cloudy, but no rain was due until later that night. It was actually a dreadfully bleak setting. She tugged on the collar of her jacket as she walked down the street to her house. Suddenly, a white flash sprang out from the bushes and went up into her window. She smiled. "Well, at least he didn't get into another fight last night." She opened the door and went upstairs to her room. "Artemis?" Artemis was curled up on his pillow, pretending he was sleeping. "Artemis? Are you okay?" she came over to him and tapped him on the shoulder. Artemis yawned. "Oh, Mina. Sorry, I was sleeping." She rolled beck her eyes. "Artemis, I saw you darting around outside. Now what's going on? I want to know!" she flopped down on the bed violently. Artemis tried to look innocent. "Nothing. I just couldn't stand being in water that long. Sorry." Mina frowned. "Artemis. I've known you for over three years now, and I can tell when you're hiding something." Artemis swore under his breath. "Mina...it's just that...I'm a freaking cat." Mina blinked. Artemis stood up. "I can talk, I can plan, I can teach...but it comes down to the fact that I'm a cat." Mina smiled. "Well, being a human isn't much different. Some people would consider you lucky that you can..." Artemis shook his head. "Mina, I am different. And that's what's killing me." Mina was silent for a bit. "What do you mean?" she said finally. Her small white companion leapt to the floor, out of sight. "I...love you, Mina..." he said simply, hiding under the bed. Mina went wide eyed. That was why Artemis had ran off, that was why he always looked after her. "But, I don't understand? What do you mean?" she didn't need the answer. Artemis was quiet, too emotional to speak. Mina fiddled with her hair, trying to sort out what was going through her mind. "Artemis?" "Yeah?" he replied weakly. Mina took a deep breath. "I love you too." Artemis blinked. His eyes glowing in the darkness under the bed were wide. Mina rolled over onto her back. "I guess I always denied my feelings for you because...well, you're a small feline animal." she laughed briefly. "What are we going to do?" Artemis didn't dare move. He didn't know weather to jump up and down in joy, or feel worse. Mina poked her head down to see under the bed. "Artemis, I do love you. I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship, but I care about you more than anything I know." Artemis laid down, making his eyes sink in the darkness. "I-I don't know what to say..." "Say you'll come out." Mina smiled. "You don't have to hide." Artemis slowly came out. He felt overwhelmed. Mina picked him up and held him close. Artemis smiled for the first time that day. Mina held him up to her face. "So." "So?" She smiled. "How do you talking cats kiss, anyway?" Artemis went wide-eyed once again as Mina brought him closer and they embraced in a rather passionate kiss considering the size difference. They parted. Artemis had a funny little smile on his face. Mina smiled. "You know, you're a pretty good kisser, Artemis." Artemis turned pink. "I've been in love with you for a very long time, and..." "Let me guess, the Paris train trip?" He blinked, mouth wide-open. "How did you know?" She shrugged, as he sat down besides her. "I don't know. Probably not until yesterday. You acted the same way on the train as you did in the tub." Artemis nodded. "I hoped you wouldn't notice. I was too careful not to let this interfere with our jobs." Mina looked down at the floor. "Artemis, do you cats...well, what I mean to say is, do you find me attractive? I mean, I always thought you were kind of cute. But in an attraction way as well..." Artemis smiled. "I thought I kind of gave it away when I bolted from you in the shower. You're absolutely stunning!" He said, getting back to more of himself. Mina smiled. "Listen, I've gotta go fore some fresh air. You coming?" Artemis yawned. "I'd better get some sleep. I was up all night, thinking." She nodded. "I'll see you later," she leaned down and kissed him "my little fur ball." She giggled and left the room. Artemis sighed happily. "I don't belive this." he got up, did the feline equivalent of a moonwalk and curled up in a ball to sleep. Mina was walking on air. She still couldn't believe that she was in love, with her guardian cat of all people, but that didn't stop her from enjoying it. She was positively glowing, and Rei noticed this. Mina had felt so good, she went over to the temple again and offered to help. Rei, Chad and Grandpa couldn't believe she volunteered. Rei got over her initial shock and let her in. "Come in! Hurry! Before you change your mind!" she smiled. "Oh, it's no problem." Mina beamed. Rei led her over to the fire-reading room and the two dug in with a kind of shovel, putting the ashes into garbage bags. "So...how's Artemis doing?" Rei said, trying to make small talk. Mina blinked, not sure how to answer. "He's fine. We had a little talk and cleared up the matter." she said eventually. Rei nodded. "It must have been some talk! You're practically spewing off good karma!" "Hey, I thought you couldn't do that stuff without the fire!" Mina said. Rei shrugged. "You don't need a fire reading to see that you're practically glowing." "Oh." Mina smiled to herself. "Well, I'm in love." Rei dropped her shovel. "That's great!" she ran over and gave her a hug. "Who's the guy? When was this?" Mina wasn't too sure how Artemis wanted to tell the others, so she improvised. "Well, I can't tell you yet, but you know him." Rei crossed her arms. "It's not Darien, is it? He has a knack for doing that, but it always ends up with Serena and him being destined together." Mina shook her head. "No. But I only really knew this a few days ago." Rei smiled widely, "Oooo, how romantic," she said, doing an impression of Serena "luuuv at first sight!" Mina tried to frown, but was still smiling. "Do you want me to help you with this or not?" Rei snapped back to Rei' mode. "Oh, sorry." she smiled, continuing to shovel. "Actually, Rei..." she started. "You have a lot of clothes, don't you?" Rei nodded. "Sure. The only one out of us that shops more than me is Serena. You need to borrow something?" A smile crept across her lips. "You must promise not to tell anyone!" Rei raised an eyebrow. "If you're going to ask for some leather bondage get-up, too bad. I don't have any." Mina shook her head. "Got anything from Victoria Secret?" Artemis woke up as he heard the bathroom door slam. "Uh?" he got up, shaking out the last bit of sleep from his bones. "Mina? It that you?" "Just a minute!" she called back. Artemis shrugged. "You want me to order pizza or something tonight?" he asked, pressing the button on the speaker phone by Mina's bed. "That's okay, Artemis. I brought something from town." Mina said, smiling to herself. Artemis shrugged. "Okay." he hung up and curled up on his pillow, curious to what Mina was doing. "You need any help in there?" he smiled to himself. Suddenly, she same out of the bathroom in a loose robe tied around her. "Well, actually, you can help me." Artemis looked down at her slender feet, realizing she had no pants on. "W-with wh- at?" he stammered. Mina gently took off her housecoat, revealing herself in nothing more than a silky white pair of panties, and a skimpy lace bra. "These seem to be stuck. Could you help me undo them?" she winked at him coyly. Artemis looked like a deer that had been hypnotized by a car's headlights. "M-m- Mina..." he gasped. "Isn't this a bit fast?" She lay down next to him, her breasts only an inch from his face. "Now, Artemis," she giggled "I think three years is too slow. It's time I payed you back for all your instruction and guidance, don't you think?" Artemis was silent as Mina sat up slowly and reached behind her back, undoing her bra and letting it fall onto his face as he shivered in anticipation. Artemis was stunned as Mina laid down on her back and pressed him against her chest. She smiled. "We may not be compatible species, but I can give you a good show, my love." Artemis leaned over and started licking her nipple. "It's not fair you do all the work," he said happily as Mina moaned quietly. Her nipples were already rock-hard from the lacy bra rubbing against them, but here even more swollen now as he passed his tail over her other breast. Mina's breathing became more rapid and the motion of her chest heaving was really turning Artemis on. "I'm going to give her a night to remember," he promised himself. Mina's nipples were aching unrelentlessly as she was fondled by her friend's talented tongue. She couldn't help but reach for her panties, rubbing the silk against her damp pubic hair. Artemis saw this and dove down to her crotch, carefully shredding her silky panties open for easy access. A musky sweet smell filled the room as Mina started caressing her own tits, moaning softly with her eyes closed. Artemis looked at the expression on her face. "Mina, I do believe you're enjoying this." he smiled. Mina bit her upper lip provocatively. "Oh, Artemis..." she gasped, "lick my pussy, please!" she begged, licking one finger and rubbing it across her aching tits. Artemis smiled, and started licking her inner thigh as her tight, swollen clit started dripping fluid in response. Her triangle of light, golden hair now damp and sticky from her panties and love juices. Artemis wanted to plunge into her right then and there, but, alas, he was too small, even though he had a big member for a cat. Instead, he started licking her swollen outer cunt lips. Mina moaned louder, and started to shiver as Artemis' tongue got closer to her pink, swollen slit. Artemis smiled and plunged his paw into her. Mina sat up, gasping for air as a wave of intense pleasure hit her. She lay back and thrust her chest forward, teasing her nipples ferociously. "Ohhh, that's it...oh..." she moaned as Artemis slowly moved his paw in and out of her slick love hole, bringing out more pre-cum as Mina got more excited. Suddenly, Mina grabbed Artemis and placed him upon her chest. "I'm going to give you a titfuck," she announced happily, squeezing her mounds together with a moan. Artemis gladly accepted and mounted her chest, caressing her nipples with his slippery paws. Mina began fingering herself as well. Her pussy easily accepted her first finger and she eventually worked in another as Artemis began to pump his cock between her tits happily, licking them as he went. Mina smiled. "I always knew you loved my tits. You always pretended you were looking at my face, but it was hard cause of your height." she smiled before another pulse of pleasure rippled through her from her finger fucking herself. Artemis was already aroused, and he knew it wouldn't take long for him to cum on her, but Mina also seemed ready. Mina began pressing her body down on her fingers, breathing rapidly as Artemis caressed her throbbing mounds with his hard little dick pumping them. She began moaning louder as she felt her cunt start to seize her fingers. Mina gasped and pulled her sticky fingers out just before she cummed. "Artemis..." she gasped. "Oh GOD," Artemis saw she was lingering on the edge of an orgasm, almost scared to finish it, not knowing what to expect. He straightened out his tail and penetrated her dripping clit with it, rubbing it against her love button as hard as he could while fucking her tits, almost ready to cum. In one final thrust, Artemis howled and pumped his load all over Mina's hard, throbbing nipples. The sight of him spraying on her caused Mina to finally go over the edge. She grabbed the bed desperately as she lost control and her cunt grabbed hold of Artemis' pumping tail. She screamed out loud, time after time as each wave of her orgasm ripped through her tensed body. He began spasming as her clit started shooting out cum all over her lover's tail and onto the bed sheets. She reached down and shoved any fingers that would fit into her cunt, causing a second orgasm to grip her. Artemis nibbled her nipple as the last wave of pleasure pulsed from her clit. She moaned a few more times as the sensation wore off. Slowly, she withdrew her fingers and liked them clean, enjoying the taste of her first cum. "O-oh m-my god..." she gasped, finally regaining her composure. Artemis lay on her, tail out of her pussy, flat on her stomach. He gasped. "Mina, that was great..." Mina smiled. Thank you, my dear Artemis." she said, exhausted. "Like I said before, you're pretty damn good, especially for a cat." Artemis and she lay together, stretched out and enjoying each other's warmth, until they dozed off to sleep. Rei stood at Mina's front door, purse swung over her shoulder. She was always a sucker for juicy gossip, and she wanted to find out if Mina had successfully' used the lingerie she had borrowed. She pressed the little door speaker buzzard. "Hi! Heh, Mina! You in? I hope I'm not interrupting anything!" she giggled. "Oh! Rei! Yeah, just a second..." Mina replied. Rei whistled to herself as she calculated how long it would take Mina to get dressed if she had been sleeping with someone last night and was still naked. Sure enough, Mina appeared at the right time, with only her housecoat on. Rei smiled evilly. "Is he here? I wanna meet him!" Mina gasped. "Uh, no! He, uh, left." Rei let herself in and started snooping for hidden boyfriends. "I just came buy to see how you were doing with your new hunk, I mean, Victoria Secret stuff." She said, looking in a closet. Mina sighed. "Nobody here but me and Artemis." Artemis ran in from the kitchen. "Hi, Rei. What's you looking for?" Mina smiled. "Oh, she thinks I slept with that guy that was over last night." Artemis blinked. "What guy?" Mina frowned. Artemis shrugged. "Who? What?" Rei looked at the two. "Oh. So he wasn't over last night? I thought you said he was?" Mina shut her eyes. "Here Rei, I'll get your clothes, I should be done with them." she went into her bedroom. Artemis looked confused. "What guy?" Rei sighed. "You know...Mina's new lover?" Artemis blinked. Rei blinked. "Wait...no way..." Mina stormed out of her bedroom. "Here, Rei. I gotta take Artemis for a walk, so will you excuse us?" Rei took her stuff and put it into her purse. "Uh, okay. I'll talk to you later, I guess..." Mina smiled politely, pushed her out the door and shut it tightly. She turned to Artemis. "What were you THINKING!?!" Artemis blinked. "Can I ask one question?" "Uhhhh!" she growled. "What?" "Who's this new boyfriend?" She scowled at him. "Artemis, it was just an excuse!! I told Rei that so I wouldn't have to say it was you until I made sure I could tell everyone!" Artemis blinked. "Oh." Rei turned as she heard Mina yelling something to Artemis behind the door. "Geeze! The way those two fight, you'd think they were married." She paused. "Na... couldn't be..." she shrugged off her crazy idea and left. The End! There you go. For information's sake, Luna gets turned into a human later on because she'd in love with a human. However, I didn't turn Artemis into a human for their big sex scene because the Serena would have to know and change them with her crystal. Besides, Mina never seemed to mind Artemis seeing her change, so why change a good thing? I tried to spell check. No promises... Any comments?
