We're two-sixths the way before we finish this story :D And things will start to pick up between Kunzite and Venus starting in the next chapter and onward. Yep, that's right, the emotional and conflict part is done, now to get on to some comfort and healing of Venus's heart or...destroying it more ;) Also, thanks once again for giving this story a read!
Healing Fire
10/ Disquiet
Neptune and Uranus, once they addressed to the King that they would return to their posts, said their goodbyes to her and Jupiter—Neptune personally gave her a look and Venus knew what it meant—they left. Seeing as Neptune was the only one who knew her situation, she was sad. In fact, Venus wanted to leave, but the King told her to stay here and she would. Jupiter drunk the rest of her water and sat down with Venus, her eyes never leaving Nephrite (she was quite sure it was him).
"They were reborn," Jupiter mumbled. "Not only that, but they came back to their King's side. If you asked me, it feels disquieted now. Mars seems annoyed, Mercury is quieter than usual, and you," she turned to Venus. "You're acting strange."
More like miserable and mentally tired Venus corrected, "I want to be happy about it, but I can't." She feared too much and like Neptune said, she was letting it eat her away. All that was on her mind was the nagging image of Kunzite vanishing. Of him dying again.
Jupiter placed a hand on her shoulder, "As for me, I'm not either. Falling in love with Nephrite…is not something on my mind," she grinned and stood up. "Doesn't mean I'll ignore him. They're here to stay. Won't seem right."
Before Venus could give her an answer, Jupiter walked away and approached the dark haired man, shocking him, then seeing a challenging look glimmer in his eyes. What did the guardian truly feel about this? Jupiter brushed the situation off…lightly. Too lightly. But she was right. There was a lack of peace, whether mentally or in the palace's atmosphere, and the reborn generals were the reasons for it. One way or another.
I'm quite sure she's feeling the same way as you, Venus. Jupiter's just not showing it and I can't wait for Venus and Kunzite to have more interactions with each other ^^
