Chapter 20

Seiya was not having a good day, he was tied to a tree with honey and bird seed all over him and birds pecking at him and the sun was barely over the horizon. That little brat must of blamed tripping over on me, Seiya fumed to himself. I can't believe Serena joined in on tying me up. She should be thanking me. If the brat doesn't like her then she and Darien can break up and then she'd be mine!

*~*At Tankei Palace*~*

"Hm, I see, thank you for informing me on Seiya's behaviour," Kakyuu said in her study. "And if Yaten wishes to go back to Earth with them then that is his decision to make. I will not command him either way for it is his choice alone, though Seiya's behaviour concerns me greatly. He will receive no immunity from me, the Princesses of the Milky Way may do as they see fit for punishment and you will aid them for as long as you feel comfortable doing so."

"As you wish my princess," Taiki bowed.

"He is also banned from the ball tonight, but I do hope to see you there." Kakyuu blushed and averted her eyes away from him.

"I will be there," Taiki blushed also but due to the bow and the aversion of eyes Kakyuu didn't see it.

*~*At The Mansion*~*

"Okay boys and girls today is a day for shopping!"

"Mina," everyone else loudly exasperated. Everyone in the mansion, apart from Seiya and Taiki, were in the living room sprawled over various pieces of furniture.

"Go away," Rei growled.

"Let us have a lazy day watching TV," Lita whined.

"Nooooooooooo can do! It's too sunny outside to sit around doing nothing," Mina said cheerfully, "we need to go shopping for the guys stuff for the ball." Everyone groaned as they were reminded of the task that was still to be done. "The ball is tonight so it needs to be done." Mina nodded with her hands on her hips.

"How do you shut her up?" Kunzite asked the room at large. His reply was a rather unanimous 'Don't know'.

"Mina, the rest of us are going to be busy, so why don't you take Rini and Kunzite shopping with you to get what we need?" Serena suggested. Though Mina could tell by the tone of voice, that it was an order, not a suggestion.

"Oh can I get ice cream?" Rini asked excitedly jumping up and down. Rini's reaction was what made Mina not argue against her Princess's order, and on the plus side she'd get to spend more time with Kunzite.

"But I don't -" Kunzite started to protest but when you're faced with eight people giving you the evil eye and two giving you smiles which could quickly turn into more evil eyes the only tactical thing he could do for survival was to put his tail between his legs and surrender. He sighed, "Very well, you may get ice cream when we take you out."

"Yay!" Mina and Rini cheered.

"Oh Ami can I get-" Mina started to say but a bit of paper thrust into her face cut her off. Said bit of paper had all the measurements for the clothes she would have to buy. "Thank you," she said sweetly as she grabbed the paper and took a sly look at the measurements as she was walking out the room, "wow Jadeite you finally put on some weight, you were way too skinny before."

"Hey are you calling me fat!" Jadeite yelled to Mina, who just ignored him.

After the three had left the mansion Zoisite leaned into Yaten, "Wanna go get pics of them?"

Yaten gave a wicked grin to Zoisite, "I would love to."

"Have fun you two, I'm sitting this one out," Ami tiredly said.

"Gee I think we tired her out last night," Zoisite cheekily announced.

"Y'know, I think you're right." Yaten agreed smirking.

The two of them left the room to follow after and spy on the trio.

"So Ami," Serena, Lita and Rei said in unison as they leaned in closer to the bluenette, "What happened last night?"

"Lots of things happened in the bedroom last night," Ami said coyly.

"So that's why you could hardly walk this morning," Lita suggestively said with a big grin on her face.

"Maybe,"

"Does this mean Yaten is coming back to Earth with us?" Serena asked.

"I hope so, I really do."

"So how many times-"

Rei was cut off by Jadeite, "Yea, yea, it's sweet and all and we're all happy for you but shouldn't we get doing what we're supposed to be doing?" Jadeite didn't want to hear anything about what happened in Ami and Zoisite's bedroom last night for he had already heard enough. Jadeite's room was next to theirs and the walls were thick, but not that thick.

"Yes let us deal with Seiya now," Nephrite grinned evilly.

*~*At Seiya's Tree*~*

During the early hours of the morning Seiya had managed to get some sleep, though two hours later he was awoken with a bird pecking at his head. The only place bird seed was left was in his hair and one determined little creature was trying to get at the last few bits. Arms and legs aching from the rope and position he was in, Seiya tried to move to rid some of the soreness from his muscles. His movements startled the bird and in watching it fly away he saw a figure approach with long blonde hair.

Serena was skipping ahead of Jadeite and Nephrite making good time on approaching the tree. "Hi Seiya!" Serena cheerfully yelled waving even though she was only ten feet from him. Seiya increased his movements and started yelling, though what he yelled was unknown as he was still gagged. "You've been a bad boy," Serena pouted patting his head, "Nephrite and Jadeite are here to get you down," Seiya's eyes went from relieved, "so your punishment can continue," to panicked. Serena leaned in and put her hand to the side of her face to stage whisper, "Just be thankful Mina and Kunzite aren't here for, at the very least, you would lose a limb." Seiya gulped in fear.

*~*At The Outer's*~*

For the past hour the outer sailor scouts and the prince of the earth were watching the screen from behind the couch so they could quickly hide their eyes. At random intervals Hotaru would pop her head over the back of the couch to see what was happening.

"Hurt Rini will you!" Lita yelled as she electrocuted Seiya. Thankfully for him she still wasn't at full power so not too much damage was done and she was conserving energy. Serena then poured another bucket of iced water over Seiya, iced thanks to Ami, and Jadeite and Nephrite then started dunking Seiya's head into a bucket of water under the pretence to get the honey out.

Haruka and Darien ducked back down behind the couch while Setsuna continued watching from her peering position. Hotaru was sitting curled up in Michelle's lap with her eyes squeezed shut and her hands clamped over her ears to block out the screams.

"Remind me never to piss Serena off," Haruka said to Darien in a small fear filled voice.

"You're not the one who's going to be marrying her," Darien said back in the same fear filled voice, his face ghastly white.

"Oh, that doesn't look pretty," Setsuna winced. A howling scream filled with pain and fear came from the screen. It sounded like a dying animal in its last throws of life.

"I'm glad she's on our side," Michelle said rather pale faced at the scream.

This continued on for three more hours but twenty minutes into those three hours the screen was muted due to Hotaru being greatly disturbed by all the screaming.

*~*At The Star's Six Hours After Mina And Co. Left*~*

Mina, Kunzite and Rini looked up at the flag pole in awe and wonder, staring at it in stunned silence for a few minutes. "What's Seiya doing up there?" Rini asked breaking the silence that had descended on them.

"I don't know," Mina said shaking her head, "and is that…a nappy he's wearing?"

"It looks like it," Kunzite said peering at Seiya, "though why is he tied to the top of the flag pole?"

Rini and Mina shrugged their shoulders. "Is that peanut butter on his stomach?" Rini asked incredulous.

"And is that a jawbreaker in his mouth?" Mina asked confused as to how something that big could fit in Seiya's mouth.

They looked at each other in silence and Kunzite said what they were all thinking, "What the hell were they doing when we were gone?"
