Chapter 3.

You can't always get what you want

"We should go to Rei's place."

"I know. Just … Jed is there, right?"

"Yes. But he remembers you."

"I know. But it will be weird anyway."

Ami looked at Zoisite in worry. Jadeite was his friend, after all. He looked through the window. "Maybe he remembered… Let's go, it's a sunny day." She smiled gently, hoping that he will change his mind and let that panic go away. "Please… It will be all right."

"I hope so." He murmured as Ami kissed him onto cheek. It's been almost two weeks since Jed was awaken, and since then they didn't come to the Shrine. Rei begged them to come almost every day. Ami promised to come today. And it was weird that Jed still didn't remember all.

Ami and Zoisite were dating for a week and a half; since he came back. She wondered are they pushing their relationship too quickly; since one part of her is still on the weak board with her forgiving him. She couldn't let him go, no way. It would hurt her. Maybe more than anything else. She loved him too much.

"Zoi… I would love to slow down… I'm still not willing to forgive you wholly, I'm sorry…"

"I understand…" Zoisite smiled loosely. "At least you're letting me love you and apologise to you." Ami nodded lightly.

As they walked they saw Makoto and Minako not so far away from them, but still they weren't so close. "Sweetheart, see you in Shrine." Zoi quickly vanished.

"Zoi!" Ami raised her tone. "You don't even know where that is…"

"Hey, Ami-chan!" Minako and Makoto grinned happily. "Who was that guy that was walking beside you?"

Ouch. They saw him, but didn't recognize him. That was good. "Mako-chan, Minako-chan… Of whom you are talking about? Many people are walking here…" Ami smiled lightly. "Let's hurry, Rei will be angry." They both nodded to Ami and continued they way to the Shrine. Minako and Makoto talked and talked… About everything. Ami just was silent and listened to what was interesting. During the one uninteresting subject, she looked up. Zoi smiled to her. He was walking on the top of the wall - fence. Ami panicked and mimicked with her face that he will fall.

"I won't." He whispered. "Now walk and don't look at me." Ami blushed.

They finally got to the Shrine.

Rei was waiting for them. "Ami-chan…" She said in surprise. "You came." She said softly. "And whe-" Ami glared at her and lightly shook with her head.

"Mina-chan, Mako-chan…" She gave them a gentle smile. "Come in. Usagi-chan and Mamoru-kun are already here."

Usagi's laughter filled the air as they entered. Mamoru tickled her and she laughed so sweetly and innocently. They all smiled and greeted the couple.

"Mina!" Usagi said joyfully. "I am so glad you are here."

"Why?" Minako asked. "Why we have this urgent meeting?"

"Because of me…" A familiar voice was coming from the door. The all turned, except Rei. Jadeite smirked on the door. "And us." He smoothly leaped to Rei. Minako's and Makoto's mouth were opened in shock, while Mamoru was grinning, Ami smiling and Usagi was squealing.

"W-what is this?" Minako asked. Her voice was almost angry. Makoto didn't say a thing. She was still in shock.

"Hmm, I wonder too, Venus."

Zoi bounded like an elf to Ami. She blushed as he hugged her from the back. Makoto wanted to kick him into face, but Zoisite effortlessly escaped it.

"You didn't change, Jupiter." He smiled mockingly.

"Neither did you, Zoisite." Makoto grimaced. She wanted to erase that smile from his face. But she caught Ami's gaze.

"Mako-chan… Please." Ami's voice was pleading.

"Ami…"

"I know you want to kill him, or hurt him, but please don't!" Ami cried, but she wasn't aware of her tears immediately. "He won't harm me…" She turned and threw herself into Zoisite's arms. He softly kissed her forehead.

"You are very sensitive when it comes for him." Minako said, astonished. Ami blushed to the highest tone of red that her cheeks could show.

"And Jadeite…" Zoisite turned. "You remembered?"
"Yes."

"What occurred?" Mamoru asked, sitting on the sofa with Usagi. Jadeite pointed at Rei's right shoulder. On her wound, that was sealed with his shirt.

"She was very clever and fought against youma alone."
"Rei-chan, when?" Usagi growled.

"Yesterday… She became ill, because youma hit her with water blasts and I helped her. By that, I remembered all."

"Aw, how sweet is that!" Usagi giggled. Makoto and Minako glared at her.

"Still, we don't trust you. None of you." Makoto said carefully. "And if any of you hurt them, be sure that we will punish you."

Then, all of a sudden, Makoto ran out. Everyone looked at her in revelation. "She seems that she remembers something." Luna said, sitting on a couch.

"Luna! When did you get here?" Usagi asked.

"We just came." She pointed at Artemis.

"Minako-chan… You seem to remember something…" Usagi turned to Minako. Minako jerked.

"Well… Just some glimpses of your meetings with Mam-… Endymion. And us as princesses of our planets."

"Oh…"


Makoto ran and ran, until she saw a bench under the Japanese cherry in Rei's garden. She entered it and sat on the bench. She sighed and decided to lounge it. She closed her eyes and another memory showed in her mind.

"When I am going to see you again, princess?" He said with irresistible smile that made her forget everything.

"I don't know, I-" He gently caught her hand. She grasped.

"I think I love you."

"Why would you love me?" She cried. "It just hurts more."

I saw him. I was so glad. He was alive. I rushed to him, I wanted to feel his warmth, taste his lips…

I heard Reye's voice calling after me. "Don't! It could be a trap!" I didn't care.

Serenity was dead, Endymion too…

I opened my mouth as I came nearer. "Neph, you a-" Something had strike me in my back, something cold. It was a blade. I fell to the ground. I tried to look who strike me. It was a woman with long black hair. I didn't know her. She grinned cruelly and leaned to me, to my ear.

"He never loved you; neither had he cared about the alliance." She whispered. I could not suspend my tears.

"Lie!" I hissed and somehow I managed to get up. I took out my sword and attacked that woman. She escaped my attack and laughed.

"Look." She said, pointing to Nephrite, who was fighting with…Moon soldier? "No. It can't be… No…" I felt another hit into my back.

"Foolish and naïve princess…" I never thought I would be like that. It was all because I fell in love. But it wasn't over yet. I turned and hit the woman with my sword.

"Maybe… But you will die first." I hissed to her. She fell to the ground.

I turned and looked at Nephrite. My heart hurt more and more, so I looked away. The pain was slowly taking my liveliness; I fell on my knees. In some moment, Nephrite turned and saw me. His eyes weren't like I remembered them. They were empty and furious. A wave of pain filled my body and I screamed. I grasped my abdomen with my hands. Then I saw blood, my blood on my hands. I looked up again. He was standing in front of me. His eyes still empty, but there were not trace of fury. I was almost lying on the ground because of pain, but I still managed to sit somehow. I screamed once more, louder and with cry. I looked at my hands again. Then I saw a teardrop bursting on my hand. I looked up. He was kneeling, his sword on the ground. His eyes filled with crystalline tears and life.

"Hey… Sitting alone again?" His smile was sad. "I am glad you didn't… Oh God, I am glad you didn't get to me…" He slowly took the blades out of my back. I cried. "Why you were so stupid? You never act-" He stopped and kissed my forehead. Then he looked at my abdomen. "Why is…" He looked clearly into my eyes. "No!" He yelled. "Why where you-" I fell to the ground. I couldn't sit anymore. He took me into his arms and I heard his heartbeat. It could put me asleep.

"I… I…" I closed my eyes. I could not hear his heartbeat anymore.

"No… Don't leave me…I love you…" He whispered.

Makoto was sleeping on the bench. If she was awake, she could hear footsteps coming to her. Nephrite kneeled in front of her. He smiled blissfully as he moved hair from her eyes. He kissed her lips softly. Makoto gasped and opened her eyes. Nephrite caressed her cheek. He smiled, and kissed her again, now strongly. He moved his lips from hers and she puffed. Makoto looked at him clearly and she slapped him. Hard.

"Ouch! What-" Makoto hugged him tightly.

"I wanted to make sure you are real."
"By slapping my face?"
"Yes. But it was also because of what you did to me."

He sighed. "I am sorry." He kissed the top of her head.

"How did you…?"

"I left a piece of nephrite in your house." Usagi said, smiling. "As you where remembering, he was gradually coming back to life."

"Like Zoi and me did." Jadeite added. "Only-" Rei clutched his hand. He remembered Minako. She was coming to them, so she didn't hear him. She was typing on the mobile phone.

"Anybody knows why this is happening?" Minako asked. They all turned. The cell phone started ringing. Minako apologised herself and picked up the phone. "Hello. Yes, it is. Well, not-" She growled. "I'm coming right away." Minako looked at her friends. "I am sorry, but I have to go." She ran quickly through stairs.

"Do you think she will ever remember, Mamo-chan?" Usagi said sadly to Mamoru, who was standing behind her. He embraced her and placed a tender kiss onto her head.

"I hope she will, Usako."

"I…" Rei murmured. "I don't remember what happened with Mina and Kunzite…"

"I also don't remember." Makoto added.

"Me too..." Ami sighed heavily. "It appears that we still haven't remembered all."

"Usagi… You remember everything?" Makoto asked her. "Would you tell us what happened to them?"
"Um… I would." She sighed deeply.

"Perhaps we could, we know Kunzite's side of story…" Jadeite grinned happily.
"Sort of…" Zoisite added.

"Minako and Kunzite met before anyone of us met. I mean, I knew her, and you girls all did, but you" Usagi pointed at the men. "You didn't."

"Continue." Jadeite nodded and grinned happily.

"She always wanted to see Earth, like me. So one day we succeeded to escape from palace on the Moon…"

"Ditty, I hope they won't catch us…" Serenity gasped. "Because I don't want to be grounded, the ball is next week!"

"Why Serenity would you think that?" She smiled recklessly. "They won't catch us. They think that we are on Venus. Don't worry." Ditty sat on the grass. "You will be on the ball, like I will too." She breathed the air and sighed lightly. "It's so lovely here… I would love to stay here forever."

"Mmm!" Serenity nodded. "Look at the flowers! There are not kinds of this on Venus or Earth."
"I agree. And it's very lively here." Serenity threw herself onto grass next to Ditty.

A thunder hit near the garden and they all jumped. Soon another one hit, same loudness and the same place.

"That wasn't a good sign." Rei said with stern voice. "It hit the same twice."

"Rei-chan, you scare me with that tone!" Usagi grumbled, clutching Mamoru's hand. Ami gasped and Zoisite immediately grasped her hand.

"I'm afraid it really wasn't, Usagi." Rei continued. "But-" The thunder had strike again, but this time more loudly. Rei jumped and leaped into Jadeite. "This is not good at all!" She tried to sound calm.

"An enormous storm is coming." Jadeite added. He held Rei close to him. "…Dangerous storm for all of us..."
