CHAPTER 11: SOMETHING CALLED 'FAMILY'

He grabbed her big breasts with both hands while his lips caressed the base of her neck. "Mako…" he whispered. He took one nipple into his mouth and nipped and sucked on it. The other, he gently caressed with his thumb.

"Neph…" she moaned. "Jun-chan is sleeping."

She felt his smile on her neck. "Well, we cannot do it in front of her while she's awake, can we?" He bended a little as he trailed kisses down her abdomen. "Besides, she's in the bedroom.

Makoto tried to suppress her moans but as Nephrite got closer and closer to that special place between her thighs; her breath became quicker and shallower. He quickly carried her with his two strong arms and carefully and silently settled her above the kitchen table. Her green eyes met his before his head returned back down into her.

She's sweet inside and out. He thought as he smelled her scent. He gently licked her clit as his hands travel throughout her body, memorizing each tiny detail.

She unconsciously opened her legs which gave him more access. He instantly stroked with his tongue and sucked her clit until she started trembling with passion. As he sensed this, Nephrite inserted two fingers inside her opening. She gasped for breath as her hands started to pull her lover's long brown hair. He continued putting in and out his fingers inside her until she soared into a wonderful climax, emitting only moans of pleasure for the consideration of the child sleeping inside her bedroom.

He felt her inner muscles locked up on his fingers. He withdrew his fingers and immediately licked all of the honey pouring from within, loving every single drop.

"Ummhmm" he moaned. "You're tastier than your pastries and cookies."

Makoto giggled as she leaned down and lightly brushing her lips to his. She had never felt this kind of feeling before. Nephrite and she had never made love … well, they talked about it a lot of times but he said that he was willing to wait for her until she's mentally and emotionally ready. Kisses were enough. Great! Now she had felt this extreme sensation she wondered if she'll ever be satisfied with a kiss anymore. She pulled him up and closed her eyes as she leaned on his chest, feeling safe as always.

Makoto opened her eyes. She was now lying on her bed. Nephrite's shirt was covering her body. She stood up when she smelled some familiar scent of lasagna from her kitchen. She looked at the mirror to fix her disheveled hair before going outside to capture her kitchen intruders. She passed the clock 12:30.

Her breathing almost stopped as she saw the heartwarming scene of her beloved man and a girl, looking suspiciously similar to her, cooking together. Dirt was all over her blue tank top and his bare chest. They almost looked like--

"Good afternoon, angel! You overslept. I guess you were exhausted last night…" Nephrite's husky voice came to her ear as he swooped down to give her a kiss on the cheek.

Jun-Jun pulled a chair from the dining table and asked her to eat and seat with them. "Did you get a good night sleep?"

She saw Nephrite wink at her before he answered in her behalf, "Believe me she did!" He pulled another seat and pushed the green-haired cutie down. "We better eat before it gets cold."

"Itadakimasu!" they said in unison as they hungrily ravished the foods in front.

"I'm so happy!" Jun-Jun said in between chew.

Makoto and Nephrite looked at her. She's smiling brightly. Her eyes were also glittering with gladness. She raised her eyes and met their gaze.

"Well— I wasn't able to spend most of my childhood years with my family you know?"

"I remembered that you were gotten by Nehelenia from the Amazon Forest. If you were Chibiusa's guardians shouldn't you be raised with her like us and Serenity? Why is that?" Makoto drank some pineapple juice while waiting for her response.

Her happy face turned into glumness, "There was a great war. Before Crystal Tokyo was ever been stably created, my father died together with the others' dad…" she drank her own juice. "My mom became depressed for a long time. The queen and the king used to tell us stories about them and how they really loved each other. Then when the black moon attacked, my mother together with the other s--, parents of my friends… they decided to hide us in the forest until we are ready enough, body, mind, power and emotion."

"And then Nehelenia came and got you? But that doesn't explain why you're younger now than what you seemed to be…" Makoto asked sympathetically. She too wasn't able to spend most of her childhood with a so called FAMILY.

She rose from her seat and got the galloon of rocky road ice cream that she forced Nephrite to buy earlier. "Well, she kind of put some old magic on us. Making us grow older, to make our powers grow… that's why we still think like children back then despite of grown up bodies… we were deprived of that…" she sighed with the spoon in her mouth.

Nephrite seemed a little out of placed, not really catching at what they were talking about so he just thought of a "segway", "So what is your mission then?"

"Oh! It's not that pretty simple really!" Jun-Jun exclaimed. Then, she instantly put out her tongue on him. "Not gonna tell you!"

This time Makoto had to laugh. "Then, what do you say… while you're here; you can treat me like your mommy. Is that fine with you?"

It took about five seconds for her words to register on Jun-Jun's mind and when it did she gave a squeak. "Yay!" she gave Makoto a tight embrace. "I have a mommy!" Then she turned her head to the brown-haired man who was watching them with a smiling face and eyes full of admiration. "Then, Nephrite-niichan will be my daddy, ne?"

He rolled his eyes. "If she is your mother then I better be the father, or else—" he left his sentence hanging giving a warning look to the beautiful girl he loves.

"Good! Then its okay for you to not suppress yourselves and just make sounds while kissing and making out even if you think I'm sleeping…" she said with a sly grin.

Makoto and Nephrite froze on their seats.

"What do you think you're doing?" the priestess' voice rang throughout the Hikawa Shrine. Too bad because no one could hear her considering her grandfather went into a retreat on the mountains and her so called BOYFRIEND was too busy babysitting. Now she was stocked with this drunk blonde who used to make her giggle years ago but could only make her feel sick now.

He grabbed both of her arms and forced her into his embrace. "Please, Rei." His voice was now begging. "It was all a mistake."

She pushed him away with all her might. "What is a mistake Kaidoh? The part were you left me knowing that I have feelings for you or marrying the girl that my GENIUS FATHER told you to marry so that you could reach your political ambitions?" she hissed.

She saw the pain in his eyes as she said the words she'd been hiding in her heart for a long time. "Well, for the second thought, I never really had a feeling for you." She gave a sarcastic laugh. "I just had affections to you because you resembled the man I was meant to be with for eternity. THANK GOODNESS we have never gotten together."

He bended his knee in front of her, dark eyes were looking directly at hers. "Please Rei! Don't say that. Give US a chance. I'll prove to you how much I love you… "He gasped for air as tears began spreading on his fair face. "I'll divorce my wife!"

This was ridiculous! Him, declaring his love for her after so many years! It was really annoying! Why now? Why now that she's more than happy with her HAPPY-GO-LUCK, SUPER CONFIDENT, SMART-ASS, BABY SITTING boyfriend?

"Please, just go home." Her voice now calmer, begging him to leave. "Just go to your wife. She doesn't deserve this."

"I don't love her!" he screeched. "It's you that I love and I can't pretend anymore that it was you in my arms whenever I embrace her or kiss her. I just can't anymore…" his voice broke.

She raised her eyebrow. "Well, you did for the passed three years. Forever wouldn't be so hard."

"If it is not you then forever would never be a happy one."

She smiled bitterly, "It would never be happy indeed if you don't make any efforts for it to be a happy one. Don't make her like my mother. Don't make your future children experience what I had experienced. Don't make them hate you."

"I don't want a child if it wasn't with you." His voice was full of determination.

She felt really exhausted with the conversation. This was going no where. "Then, I'm sorry. THAT would never happen."

She was surprised when, in an instant, he was on his knees again, feverishly kissing her. She pushed him away and slapped him in the face. Before she knew it his lips were in hers again. His arms were holding her, stronger than before. She tried to bit his lips but she was flabbergasted when she felt his tongue on her mouth.

One loud BAaaaaANG! And she saw the limped body of the drunk blonde in front of her. She looked up and saw another blonde. Not giving her a glance, he immediately went to the lying body on the ground. He kicked and kicked. He just stopped for a few seconds when he bowed down and gave him punches on the face and anywhere his hands could touch.

She was scared at the look in his eyes. It was not its usual blue-grey, but now completely dark. She hesitated on doing anything but she was so sure that if she just stayed on her place and do nothing, Kaidoh will die in about a minute or so.

"Jadeite! Stop it please." She couldn't fight the tears that wear forming in her eyes.

Almost instantly, Jadeite stopped his assault as if he just realized her presence. He stood up. The same look in his eyes never leaving. She saw IT.

She stepped backwards. "Jade," she forced her voice to come out from her throat. "Let me explain. It's not what you think. Please…"

He didn't say a word. He just walked to her as she continued to step away from him.

"Please." She begged at him like she had never begged him before. Well she had NEVER really.

He snatched her arms and pulled her into him. "Who is that bastard?" his voice was as serious as she had never heard him before.

She trembled at his arms. "He— well, he and I used to like each other years ago…" she said in almost a whisper, eyes not looking at his.

"Did you love him?" he waited for her response impatiently but she still refused to look at him, not saying a single word. "Did you love him?" he bellowed.

"I thought so!" she screamed. "But that was before I met you!" Her reddish eyes finally seeing the blue-grey of his. Oh! The darkness in those soulful eyes disappeared in an instant.

He touched her cheek with his bloody hands. "Did he touch you? Did he embrace you? Did he—" he stopped for a moment as if thinking of a better word. "Did he OWN you?"

She shook her head. "No," finally able to catch her breath. "I'm yours. All yours… as if I unconsciously restrained myself from any other guy until I finally met you. I'm yours forever." She exclaimed as she threw herself on him.

He immediately caught her fully, carried her in his arms fully. He kissed her forehead, her eyelids, her eyes, her nose, her cheekbones, her cheeks, her lips. He looked at her again, intently in her eyes.

"Good. It's settled then." It's now her turn as she lent up and kissed him sweetly on the lips as if trying to erase any trace and taste of Kaidoh in her.

"I think you better stay at my place for tonight." He said in his usual cheery voice. Then, he turned to shot the sleeping Kaidoh one last deadly look. "If we stay here a little longer I don't know what I else I could do…"

In the dim of the night, the lovers went into a place where they know they would be safe. TOGETHER. Well, with few more extras…

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Gomen, I know it's short… It's hot! It's hot! It's really hot in here!! Oh, I don't want to go out of the house because of the extreme heat…

Anyway, they are growing up so are kind of thinking about grown up things once in a while… I just hope they'll be a little more careful especially when there are kids around. Whatever— blame it on the weather!

By the way, you know guys; REVIEWS REALLY INSPIRE ME TO WRITE A LOT…. I just hope that I won't get a nosebleed due to this heat! I'll be waiting…
