Sailor Moon-Mars x Jadeite

Meditation and Control

Rai was enjoying some peace and quiet with her grandfather sleeping away on this weekend. Rai took this chance to meditate and relax herself.

"What are you doing?" A voice asked.

It was Jadeite. He had started working here after being reborn.

"I am meditating." Rai said taking in a deep breath.

"Can I get you anything for that?" He offered. Still the same person it feels like.

"Just close the door. Please." Rai asked kindly.

"If you don't need anything...Can I join you?"

Rai took a deep breath then sighed. Turning her head to face him.

"You can But you must be quiet." She said to him.

He zipped his lips and threw it away. Slowly walking in and sat down next to her.

It was quiet for another few minutes before Rai heard voices. "Crap! Why did they have to come today?" Rai was not in the mood to hang with her friends. "I shall take care of it. If it helps you relax." Jadeite said as he got up and walked out.

Rai let him go and she heard the voices fading away. "That guy was so cute!" One voice said.

Jadeite returned and sat back down. "What did they want?" Rai asked. She had her eyes closed so she didn't see his smirk. "They just wanted to give you back your notes." He said.

Rai sighed of relief. "Okay. Thank you for getting that." She said. "May I ask you something?" He said to her. "I guess you can. But only one." She was specific.

"Alright. Then my one question is this... Why do you meditate in the first place?" Rai opened her eyes and looked at his face. "That is..."

More girls were coming and Jadeite went to take care of them. What would she say? Rai only did it to control herself around him!

"He is so cute I tell you!" One girl said. "I know. I wonder if he has a girlfriend?" Another one said. "We could ask next time we come." The third said.

Rai shook her head to calm down.

That's it!

When Jadeite came back Rai was back to meditating. "The answer is to relax your body. Learning to control yourself." She said. Jadeite smiled. "Taking deep breaths in and out help to control your body and relax the mind. So many things run through one's mind and that's how stress builds. Taking the time to just meditate means you rest your body from moving and you focus your mind on yourself and not on other things."

Jadeite just 'hm' and meditated with her.

Rai felt satisfied with that answer. Better to not let him know she still has feelings for her past lover.

More people came up to the temple. Jadeite was about to get up but.. "I'll get it this time. And I'll bring some tea." Rai was up and out the door.

Rai took care of all the girls and guys that came to get charms. "Thank you. Have a nice day." She said. Rai sighed as she was finished. Her grandfather would wake up soon so just another few minutes of meditation was in her future. As she fixed the tea she heard a voice behind her and arms around her waist.

"That was a good answer to the question." Jadeite said. Rai turned red and he whispered in her ear.

"The meditation seems to work." He added. "For you anyway." Rai was in trouble.
