I guess this chapter is more a "wake-up call" for our lovely love guardian, but don't worry. She's going to be a little more resistant once she gets over her shock, I suppose.

Flareup4Ratchet: That's what I was going for actually. But I don't think she'll be conflicted for too long, especially because Kunzite isn't going to make it easier for to stay on the fence at this point. And yep, I think it's the perfect nickname for her. Though he didn't just come up with it out of the blue ;)

Healing Fire

14/ Enthrall

My dove…Venus's eyes widen. Since when was this established? The love guardian was pretty sure the general did not remember her. Venus was holding onto that thought. Was she not paying enough attention? She let out a shaky breath.

"I'm waiting for an answer or do I need to find another way to get you to answer," his whisper sent another shiver down her. "I can think of many."

Shocked ran through her. He sounded way too much like the Kunzite she remembered. The one who enthralled her, who seduced her better than she could to him. Her bottled up emotions she so carefully hid away started to leak out one by one. What was wrong with her? She put up these defenses and they were failing her already.

"I…" she couldn't think of anything to say. She was dumbfounded.

"Will some motivation give me the answer I desire? You know I'm not a patience one when it comes to you."

Venus hide her shock, "H-how much do you remember…?" She blurted the question out. If he didn't remember her, this would make everything so much easier. Venus took a second to think. Had she fooled herself into believing an irrational fear? But she couldn't deny Fate's amusement with her. Everything had a price.

"Hm…let's see, I remember that you preferred being kissed here," his lips kissed her neck and lingered longer than she needed. Her legs felt weak. "And that there are a few other sensitive spots."

"I remember how stubborn you can be, how dedicated you are to being a guardian, and much more. Shall I continue?" Kunzite said. "Don't tell me it's you who doesn't?"

No I hadn't, but I was trying Venus bit her lip.

What did she just get herself into?

Yep, that's right. Kunzite has all is memory dear (as I have, though it's not noticeable, hinted in a chapter or two; and besides, why else would they be there in the Crystal Palace if they didn't cx) and I don't think he's taking you ignoring him all too well. Though I'm pretty sure anyone would freak out in that situation xD
