Now that Venus is stuck working with Kunzite, we will have more chapters centered around those two rather than any other characters until the end :D


Healing Fire

12/ Dismay

Kunzite hadn't done anything out of the ordinary. He helped her with her loads of paperwork, despite the pile she already had, Serenity must've sneaked into her own personal office (Serenity had a dislike for tedious paperwork like this) and assisted her in rearranging the positions and times of the royal soldiers now that the Outers had returned to their post. Venus felt grateful for his insight, but something nagged at her mind. Why was he always staring at her? And it was one where she couldn't calculate what he was thinking.

Venus bit her lip and opened her office door, "Are you good at finances?" She asked as he closed the door and she shuffled the papers on the desks. Venus never liked the finance part, luckily Mercury did all the work for her. "Mercury has set a new budget. We just need to go over it and approve it before sending it to Neo Queen Serenity."

"Let me see," he murmured and he sounded very close. Looking to the side, Venus hadn't realized he was standing so close, too close. And when leaned down, his shoulder brushed against hers and she froze. Her wounded heart beat faster. Damn it! Venus wasn't trying to form an attraction, she was trying to do the opposite. Kunzite hadn't said anything about it.

When the plan was approved, Venus sighed and stacked the papers together, "Anything else?" Kunzite asked.

"Besides more paperwork? No…" she trailed off, staring at the clock. "Never mind, it's my turn to retrieve Small Lady from school."

"You don't have a guard with her?" Kunzite frowned and moved away from her. Thank goodness...

"No," she said walking past him. Venus was sure Kunzite was following. Honestly, she wished he wouldn't and left her alone.


Seems like Venus's heart might not be closed off completely as she thought after Kunzite's subtle move and whatnot. Wonder what will happen next chapter. Any reviews are appreciated :D

Also, I'm wondering if you guys will like a Venus/Kunzite wedding fanfic or the Thumbemina one (yes, the name is similar to Thumbelina) where it's more friendship-oriented rather than romance...I plan to do one or the other once I've finished my Zoisite/Mercury one-shot called Encore c: So which one you're more interested in seeing?
