Year 68/Week 2 and 3: Outskirts of Crystal Tokyo
Their secret reunion with their King was like no other.
Shouts of joy were heard. Laughter emmitted from their lips. Tears were shed. Photos were given as gifts to the men.
Nephrite smirked at the small package he had received. Inside were several pictures of Jupiter in and out of her Senshi uniform. His heart pounded in his chest as he admired her bright smile and very pronounced curves. There were a couple of pictures provided where she gave a very sexy smile and gaze. That was one he hoped she would give him at the end of his exile-
"Endymion gave you some good pictures too?" teased Zoisite raising an eyebrow. "I didn't realize Mercury in her senshi suit could be so... tempting."
The brunette man smirked. "All in due time, brother. All in due time."
"How has your life been? It's been years."
"I've taken a liking to my task. Flying at night takes the cake though. It allows me to speak with the stars."
"Have they told you anything?" inquired the scientist.
"That this reunion would happen as would many more in the future."
Zoisite nodded. "This was much needed, though I would prefer for this 1000 year sentence to be over and for us to have the chance to be back at Endymion's side once again."
"And to have the chance with our women too," added Nephrite.
There was silence.
"How could they forgive us for what we did to them?"
More silence.
"I mean, we were tricked to believing Beryl all those years back. And when we came across the senshi once more, Metallia had us under her spell and completely brainwashed. The disbelief in Mercury's eyes when she realized we had a past together almost all but-"
"Don't think like that," spoke the elder brother, his dark eyes narrowing. "Our future is still at hand, and a little over 900 more years can help bring healing to old wounds of the past. Give it some time Zoi. Mercury is quick to forgive. She has a very loving heart."
The younger bit his lip. "I hope so Neph. I really do."
As week two turned into week three, the men had another special meeting. This one was escorted by no other than the Senshi of Love herself.
Many men in uniform wolf-whistled while others resorting to admiring her beauty. She would wink and give kisses to some of the men she passed by. But she was stopped dead in her tracks as soon as she entered the meeting room with her King. Her stance and posture immediately changed.
She became the hardened warrior the men knew.
She was rather upset that Kunzite was seated right next to her. She hardly recognized him at first with his cropped haircut.
She scooted her chair as far away as she could without accidentally bumping or touching King Endymion at the head of the table.
He gave a status update to begin the "official business", but after about 5 minutes, the men began to converse with their King about their journey.
"-so while my limbs are getting frostbite, one of my men decides he wants to start a fire inside the tent we are staying in. He deemed it too cold to work." Zoisite slapped his forehead with a gloved hand and continued his story. "I about killed the man when he burned down our dwelling! All the experiements froze, which was alright considering we were testing deadly bacteria that only rapidly grows in heat but becomes dormant in temperatures below zero degrees celcius," spoke Zoisite rolling his eyes.
"And what happened after that?" smirked the King.
"Of all places, we had to find a cave to sleep in! And the fool makes another fire in the cave!" huffed the blond. "What makes it worse was a family of Siberian Tigers that made this cave their dwelling in the blizzard! I was forced to use my magic to keep the Tigers from seeing, hearing, or smelling us and to use the same abilities on the men so they would forget that I could wield magic!"
Story after story was shared by each man including Kunzite. Venus was amazed to realize how... human these men were.
What she realized as irony was how she used to be Venusian before her second chance at life here on this planet. She was not of this world a millenia ago. These men were the true humans, the true decendants of people from Earth.
It was a bit unnerving to make that realization.
Her silence was not unnoticed.
The two men on either side of her took her silence as a very loud statement.
It would take quite some time before the Senshi forgave them of their past mistakes and treat them like family once more.
