Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters! Forgive me if you see Malachite/Kunzite and you are confused. I am going back through and reuploading the past chapter to fix this. I like Kunzite better plus I keep typing it out in my story. sorry for the confusion
Thank you again to those that reviewed 3 I appreciate it!
Ever since Anne had left the room Darien had been in an extremely foul mood. It always irritated him to no end when the demoness's would try to seduce him. There were nothing but lower level whores in his mind. The way they would try to cling on you and their whiny voices. Darien put his fingers to his head and shook his head gently. This was all giving him a headache.
'Creak' The main door opened to reveal Kunzite walking back in. "Ahh, Kunzite, have all the preparations for tonight been arranged?" he asked. "Yeah, Darien, everything has been prepared in order for travel to Earth and for the ball. You'd think the host's would know by now exactly what you want each and every year. But no of course not, they have to follow me around and ask a million questions." Kunzite shuddered while speaking.
Darien's booming laughter could be heard throughout the room bouncing off the walls echoing. "It's not funny, D! They hang on me like a disease. I'm going to send them directly to you next time." Kunzite said while laughing. The thought of the male hosts hanging all over Darien asking questions felt like a good set up to torture his best friend.
The eerie silence followed the laughter that had ebruptly stopped. Darien was fuming. The idea of his gay demons hanging all over him, hitting on him, giving him the fuck me eyes. 'Ugh' he internally groaned than said aloud, "You wouldn't dare." Kunzite waved his hand back and forth in a no nonsense gesture, "Master, never me." with a wink he tried to walk out the door.
'Slam' was heard before Kunzite could even halfway reach the doorway. Darien's eyes were blood red and he was staring at him with anger that shook the room with each shockwave that rippled. Kunzite just rolled his eyes at Darien and opened the door and shut it behind himself. Darien would be fine in a few hours after calming down a bit. He knew his best friend would get what was coming to him tonight. After 1,000 years things had changed, Darien was hard and cold. The shadows that followed the devil were always around waiting to engulf whatever they could. But Kunzite could feel through his connection with his mate that her cousin would be born tonight, right at the stroke of midnight. 'How fitting, he gets his mate at the time we enter their world,' Kunzite mused.
11:45 p.m
The ball he was hosting before midnight stroke was in full effect. Everyone was dancing around all dressed up in masquerade. All the dancing and flirting was boring to him. The last time he had even danced was over a thousand years ago with his Serenity. No one could replace her, demon or human alike. She was a goddess to him and that would be the only one to tame the darkness in his soul. The countdown was excruiating to him and his four generals. It was as if something would happen when they took leave to the earth realm.
'Ding, Ding, Ding' was heard throughout the ballroom and all the demons and demoness's seemed to stop. They knew exactly what time it was. They had been anticipating this night since last year when they had gone above. "Now is the time my children where we take our leave to earth, for the portal opens this one day only, so have fun, be free. But I warn you get into trouble while your above and you deal with me when I call you to come back." Darien said to all his minions.
Not even seconds after he had spoken the portal opened up for all to pass through. The door was ancient as time itself. Crooked shattered bricks always appeared on the sides of it with vines wrapped all around cascading in front of the doorway. Darien eyed the doorway that held a night of freedom.
Kunzite and Nephrite seemed the most eager to go through first. Darien knew why they were the most eager to go through and rolled his eyes in annoyance.
It was nightfall in the Earth realm, and all trees had let their leaves fall to the ground, preparing themselves for winter. They were in the forest next to a small stream, the ground was wet from the rain during the day time. 'Slosh, Slosh' was heard from all the generals walking through the soaked grass and mud. Darien looked around to see if any of his minions had held back and wandered around the entrance, but to no avail they had run the first chance they could get.
His small group had gotten about 5 miles inland, creeping closer to the town they were closest to when he felt it. The pains running straight through to his heart, he couldn't bare it in the second and dropped to the ground. Kunzite rushed over to help him up, patting Darien's back roughly to help him catch his breathe. "Breathe, Darien, you gotta breathe. What's wrong?" Kunzite asked. Not even before he was done talking, Jadeite and Zoicite dropped to the ground beside him withering in pain. "What is going on?" Darien gasped out. His breathing faltering in between breathes. All three stayed like this for 5 minutes until it all seemed to subside.
'That was truly confusing,' Darien thought. It felt like someone was separating his heart into billions of pieces. He went to stand up with the help of Kunzite and Nephrite, but his legs were wobbling like jello it seemed. Minutes had passed before he seemed to be able to stand on his own, when his two generals went to go help up Jadeite and Zoisite. "Did you two feel like something was ripping your insides apart?" Darien couldn't help but ask the two who dropped to the ground like flies.
The three that had been affected just stared at each other dumbfoundly. "That my friends is the birth of your past loves, and your heart rearranging with the binds retying you to your mates." Kunzite stated with a grin on his face. Jadeite just stared at Kunzite like he had a second head," Dude whatever your tripping on, you know better than to hold out on me." "Jadeite, I'm not even joking with you man, me and Nephrite went through it two years ago when Mina and Lita were born. The pain was unbearably and we writhed in pain for days. Maybe the only reason it happened for days was because our loves were born first?" Kunzite questioned.
Darien's heart felt at peace for the moment, he couldn't believe his angel was finally in this era. They would all be reunited soon enough and the balance between the worlds would be reset.
A hospital in town:
"Wow, what a coincidence doctor. We had three births, by three different mothers all at the strike of midnight on devil's night. Is this is a blessing or a bad omen?" The nurse with long flowing honey colored hair said. She was now in the nursery staring at three different little girls, putting pacifiers in each other their mouths to pacify the wails. Each child seemed to be unearthly and it was unsettling to the nurse. She was supersitious you see, so all these strange happenings seemed to be an omen of some sort.
Back on the edge of town:
"So guys, we only have a good 16 years before we can intercept our ladies is that right?" Jadeite said with a huge smirk on his face. "Don't you mean a good 16 years still Rei shoots you down a 1,000 different times and you crawl back for more abuse each time?" Nephrite said in a teasing voice to Jed. "Well, no, wait yes, because she caves in no matter what I do. She will be mine no matter what." Jadeite replied with a cocky tone. "Hey, where did Darien go?" Zoisite asked. It didn't take a genius to figure it out, Kunzite knew exactly where he went.
The infant staring at him with her beautiful cerulean eyes,cooing softly made Dariens cold heart melt. He put his hand in the bassinet and she instantly grasped his finger tightly. "Sere, my love I have missed you so. I can not wait til these next 16 years have passed. It will feel like an eternity, but I have already waited that long for you, whats another 16 more years?" His voice seemed to lull her to sleep and the last words the infant even heard was I love you, before she passed into dreamland.
