"Wait, what?" Usagi cried as the wind whipped the speeding motorcycle. Traffic zipped past them on all sides, horns honking in excitement and shock as the trio of naked girls gave everyone a good show.
"Usagi, your screaming right in my ear!" Rei cried. "Haruka-san, my temple is much farther away from here than your house. And the closest parking is on the street. We'd have to run up that long stone stairway to get to the temple, and there might be visitors there even at this hour! Not to mention Chad and grandpa...."
That thought inspired a renewed sense of dread in the sailor scout.
"Look...." Haruka said. "I don't want to be wandering around naked any more than the rest of you. But we have more to worry about than just bare skin....right?"
Rei gulped.
"I saw you wander out of the baths. Michiru had gotten those glassy eyed looks enough times for me to know when someone is having a vision. Its some new enemy, right?" Haruka asked.
"I think so." Rei admitted.
"Then we go to your temple, no matter how far out of the way it is." Haruka said, her tone brooking no argument. "We need to make sense of your dream as soon as possible, and the tools you need to do that are there."
"I get that! But shouldn't we be worrying about finding some clothes FIRST?" Rei asked.
"I'm hoping you can find us some robes or something when we get there. If not...I guess we'll just have to make do." Haruka said solemnly.
"Aren't you being a bit too serious?" Rei whispered to herself. Behind her, Usagi snorted. "Not so fun when someone else is bossing you around, is it Rei-chan?"
"Not now..." Rei muttered as another car honked at them. The window rolled down and a camera phone snapped a picture.
"What do you remember about the dream?" Uranus persisted. "It could give us a place to start."
"Its...jumbled." Rei said. That was a lie- the imagines were alien and frightening, but she remember her dream all too well. She just had no idea how to explain it to her friends. Deep down she had to admit, the images had been intensely erotic even as they were horribly twisted. Was that it? Had the dream been so arousing that she couldn't help herself? Is that why in spite of her utter shame she had stood in front of a crowd of onlookers and masturbated?
No...if she was going to be entirely honest, some part of her had been craving the humiliation. Watching those masses of humanity, slave to their pleasure, helpless to do anything but give in to their own passion...a part of Rei had known full well she wandering about naked. Part of her had sought out the largest crowd she could find, had positioned herself just right to maximize the number of people who could see her degradation. Her need to be seen had been at least as intense as the need to orgasm. She wondered...if they all had seen her dreams, would they all have posed for the audience and played with themselves? Or would they have done something to each other, like the people in her dreams...
Rei's whole body turned a bright red as she mentally slapped herself back to reality. She was acting like a pervert! And this was quite possibly the worst time to be thinking about her two companions and their exposure in those terms, pressed as she was between the two naked girls and on full display for an entire freeway.
"Hmm....I see your mind is elsewhere." Haruka said, her tone changing.
Rei silently prayed for a merciful kami to kill her on the spot. Her body had followed her train of thought, and her hardening nipples were impossible to hide from Haruka, squished as her breasts were against her bare back.
"Don't feel bad. I'm flattered." Haruka said in a husky voice. Rei groaned as her blush deepened. Haruka, as mentioned, had a certain love for flirtation and seduction, something Michiru seemed to abide by with her characteristic patience. Uranus really did have the whole thing down to a science, to the point where perfectly straight girls who knew full well she was female were reduced to puddles of blushing and stammering jelly. This was doubly bad for Rei, who's sexuality would normally qualify as 'straight' but became somewhat more ambigious in relation to her teammates in general and the hapless, naked and confused girl hanging off her back in particular.
"You know...the one thing I am glad about in this whole messed up situation...is getting to ride a pair of such beautiful and elegant ladies. As embarrassing as all this is, I can't really complain about the view..." Haruka said.
"T-thanks." Rei stammered as she felt Haruka's left hands snake behind her and playfully rub down her rib cage. Her hips instinctively tightened around Haruka's waste, her sex clenching in an instinctive need.
"H-haruka..." Rei stammered, the hand on trailing down to squeeze her hip.
"Yes?" Haruka whispered.
"Watch the road!" Rei cried as a slow moving truck loomed in front of them. The hand on her thigh vanished and the bike switched lane with a heart wreching squeel. Usagi screamed, and Rei silently wondered if she would ever hear in her left ear again.
"M-maybe we should focus on the mission again?" Rei said, her voice quivering despite the snark.
"Right." Haruka said, dropping the husk in her voice.
"The good news is....if you like the view...I'll have to stay this way for awhile." Rei said after a minute of driving and leering from the traffic.
"Oh?" Haruka asked.
"Well....the best way to call that vision back up is to recreate conditions as exactly as possible to when I had the dream. Which means I have to be naked." Rei said, blushing.
"Things are looking up." Haruka observed.
"Unfortunately....so do you." Rei said without missing a beat. "For the same reason."
"......" Haruka paused. "Eh. Small price to pay."
Rei spent the rest of the ride there trying not to think about all her friends sitting naked in a circle around her ritual bonfire, herself in the center, flames dancing off their bodies, as she conjured visions of the dream up to appear in the flame. She tried not to imagine what might happen, given her actions before, and the state of dress they would all be in, in that hot and darkened chamber. She tried not to think about the fact that they would in all likelihood be spending the night in that chamber, and that the number of beds meant that more than half of them would have to double up. She tried to avoid any more dirty thoughts, picture any of the myriad of scenarios that could play out that night.
It was a brave and valient struggle. All the more so since it was doomed from the outset to fail....
