Mercury's Jealousy

…

Princess Mercury was giggling internally at her girlfriend's dark sense of humor. 'She always holds it like it weights nothing. The damn thing is heavy as hell.'

It was a rather amused view: The tall and self-confident brunette struggled a bit before gathering his balance back trying to get a hold on the heavy spear. Princess Mercury couldn't stop the fit of soft giggles that suddenly escaped her throat; while dragging Zoisite along with her.

'He's a dunce! Where did he get the idea that a Jovian weapon would be lightweight or easy to handle?'

Athena and Zoisite keep watching Nephrite struggling for balance and control over the Jovian's spear. Princess Mercury shrieks in surprise when a green light surrounded Princess Ío.

'She's calling her senshi powers! So thoughtful of you; Io.'

The bluenette closed and rolled her eyes behind its eyelids in annoyance.

Sailor Jupiter stood behind Nephrite in order to help him with his stance, slightly adjusting his posture by the waist with one hand and straightening his back with the other one. Her right foot was placed beside the man's right one, pushing said foot along with hers helping him to keep his gravity center closer to his axis.

'She's helping him imitate the same stance she has before throwing her spear'.

Princess Mercury's fists began to shake violently at her sides when Nephrite tilted his head slightly whispering something into Jupiter's ear. A sudden wave of anger swept over the blue-haired Princess; seeing the Jovian Senshi shake her head at whatever the man had said to her, 'Ío, why are you blushing?!'

That was the moment when Athena lost it, or at least she internally did.

'Why the heck did you let him get so close to you? Get away from Ío you foe, she's taken: She is taken. She. Is. Mine!'

Quipping, Sailor Jupiter stepped back from Nephrite crossing her arms on top of her chest, "I bet you cannot throw my spear beyond the hundred meters."

Snorting indignantly, Nephrite readjusts his stance (not in the way Jupiter had taught him) and after a few deep breaths he threw the spear with all his might. Unfortunately Nephrite's might didn't get the spear beyond the fifty meters mark on the ground much to Athena's delight.

Deciding that she had had enough suppressing the mirth the young man's misfortune brought her, Princess Mercury began to laugh softly behind her delicate hand causing the blond next to her to snort at his friend's embarrassing performance.

Athena couldn't leave the opportunity that was before her, 'Oh, it would be a shame if someone shows these tough men what a well-trained Mercurian can do...A well-trained Mercurian woman.'

A wicked smile appeared on her face as she made her way towards her fiancée and the foolish, petulant, gallant, unkind tall Shittenou.

Taken by surprise by Princess Mercury's actions, Zoisite quickly follows her trotting behind her, halting for a second when a sudden and bright-blue light surrounded Princess Athena.

"Hello Jupi-chan!" She called her girl, halting herself a few steps behind the brunette Jovian.

Hearing her name, Sailor Jupiter stopped her walk towards the barely achieved spear that was lying on the ground.

"Oh, hey Mercs!" she was smiling at her. She completely lost said smile at the sight of the blond Shittenou shamelessly wrapping his left arm around Athena's waist.

With a slight bow, Zoisite greeted her, "Evening, Princess Jupiter. I've heard wonders of you."

"Uh? Funny, I haven't heard anything about you." The Jovian mumbled to herself eyeing the blond carefully.

Keeping her smug smile at bay, noticing her girl's displeased frown at her closeness to Zoisite, Sailor Mercury immediately felt bad for teasing the poor Jovian, 'Calm down Athena, she's just trying to be a good host.'

Mercury gingerly shrugged off Zoisite's grip greeting Nephrite as well, "Hello again Nephrite-san," she addressed nodding politely at him, "I see that Jupi-chan's weapon was giving you some problems."

Crossing her arms not thrilled in the slightest by Mercury's obvious observation, Nephrite replies snootily, "Well it is a hell of a heavy weapon. I suppose it's this place's gravity. I think it may be increasing the spear's weight making it a bit difficult to handle." He said smiling at the beautiful women.

Suppressing a smirk, Sailor Mercury got rid of the blond's uncomfortable closeness by walking towards Jupiter's spear.

"Uhm, I don't know Nephrite-san,-" Sailor Mercury said aloud reaching the artifact, "-according to my research, weapons and other objects usually become a lightweight on lunar surface, you see, this 'place's' gravity is weaker than most planets." She began to explain.

Once Sailor Mercury reached the spear, she slightly bent over it taking it with her right hand. Lifting it like it was a feather-like weight.

"On the contrary,-" the bluenette added turning around playing with the spear in-between her hands expertly, "-the spear's volume decreases and therefore the mass of any object becomes lighter." She impeccably stops the rotating shift of the weapon between her hands and fingers by holding it vertically on the center of the right white-gloved hand swinging it by its sharp edge with great precision, "So an object with less density and with one-fifth of its real weight, in other words becomes: An object with less handling difficulty."

Smiling again, Sailor Mercury rearranged her position ready to throw the spear without losing her sight on the red faced Shittenou.

'This's what you get for touching my fiancée's arm, you idiot!'

Easing her breathing with a few deep inhalations, a smirk on her face looking sideways at Jupiter, Mercury re-focus her gaze tilting her body to her right side (the way Jupiter had taught Nephrite but he chose to ignore) and in one single motion, gathering her right arms strength on her shoulder and elbow, in one smooth movement she used her arm's momentum to throw the heavy spear as far as she could without even needing to use her senshi powers.

'Simple Physics.'

Perfect handling on the Jovian weapon and net balance between the strength and speed applied to the spear. Zoisite and Nephrite stared at the bluenette in astonished silence. Said spear had traveled a considerable amount of distance far beyond the six hundred meters in just one effortless motion.

Turning around, facing her audience, Sailor Mercury grinned at them smugly. The Jovian was looking at her in proud silence; trying to stop herself from giving into her desires and ravishing Mercury's lips right there and then in front of those men. Pride, yearn, anxiousness, love…those words can barely describe what the Jovian Princess was feeling that exact moment for the bluenette.

Zoisite's long and appreciative whistle brought both Princesses back to present time. Awkwardly, Sailor Mercury started to shift where she stood feeling the same need as her lover. 'Aura's connection is such a bit-'

"W-Well what you just said is without a doubt very educational Princess Mercury." the blond Shittenou praises Sailor Mercury's knowledge.

Not wanting to be the one left behind, Nephrite began to excuse himself, "I-It is clear that you have had the opportunity to practice with your friend's weapon before. I have taken its strange handling unprepared."

Sailor Jupiter's loud snort suddenly draws everyone's attention. Without walking towards the spear again, silently she summons her weapon in her hand before it disappearing along with her Senshi transformation. Princess Ío was smiling brightly at Sailor Mercury, ignoring the men around them.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that Nephrite,-" Mercury arches an eyebrow noticing the lack of honorifics, "-what do you think about my spear 'Mercs?" she asks with honest curiosity, "Was it heavy when you held it for the first time? I can't help but notice that you didn't even use any senshi treat."

Hands on her hips, over the elegant green dress, Princess Jupiter turned while grinning at the Shittenou men; it was a really comical view: Both men were gaping at the petite Senshi unwilling to believe that Nephrite, the strongest Shittenou was defeated in a simple spear throwing competition.

Letting her transformation fade away, right index and thumb holding her chin up, Princess Mercury replies, "To be honest, it's quite difficult to aim now that you ask me, more so if you don't know how to balance its gravity center to its sharpened tip." She said thoughtfully, "But now I can definitely understand why Nephrite-san had some troubles before." She granted with a kind smile.

Huffing internally, Princess Ío knew better than anyone what Athena's sweet and angelical smile meant: She was enjoying embarrassing the men by showing them her advanced knowledge and better handling on weaponry.

'You shall pay for this later tonight, honey.'

Athena kept smiling at the Jovian Princess, gloating herself in Nephrite's shattered ego and Zoisite's momentary astonishment. Trying to make her way back to Moon Castle, hands innocently clasped behind her back, Mercury turned around and began to walk towards her bedroom when the sound of the Senshi's intercom made her stop in her tracks: It was Queen Serenity.
