Chapter Four: The R and the R (The Runaway and the Return)



Ami opened her eyes and found herself in her room, still kissing Zoisite. She abruptly pulled away. "What are we doing in my room?" He shook his head and smiled. "I thought that you might want to put on your bathing suit. While you are getting on yours, I will go get on mine." "Oh." He disappeared in a swirl of sakura blossoms.

Ten minutes later Zoisite returned, wearing a pair of blue swimming trunks with green trim. Ami walked in her room from a small side door. She was wearing a two- piece, skimpy, turquoise blue bikini with green flowers on it that caused Z's jaw to drop and his eyes to grow big as saucers. "What is she trying to do, kill me?" He thought. "Are you just going to stand there gaping, or are we going to go swimming?" Ami asked the now drooling Zoisite. He snapped out of it. "Oh, yeah. Let's go then." "Hold on, let me lock my doors." She walked over and locked the huge double doors. "What for?" "To give them ideas, of course." She then walked over to the CD/Record player, turned it on and wound the volume as loud as it would go. "Make out music." She walked back to him. "Let's go."

"The pleasure is mine." Z said with a grin. He kissed her and they disappeared leaving behind a swirl of frozen sakura blossoms. *** "Where the hell could they have gone?" Mal asked exasperated. A servant girl ran into the chambers where the eight were standing, (and where Serenity and Mal were pacing). "My Lady Serenity! Princesses! Generals! There's music coming from Lady Mercury's room, and both doors are locked!" Mina's eyes got big. "Um. you don't think. they're.."

"Damn it! There's not a key to Ames's room! There's no possible way to get in there!" Rei was, (to put it kindly), exasperated and very, very pissed. "And yes, Mina, they probably are." Jade coked an eyebrow. "No possible way?" "No possible way. The room has a spell on it so that nothing can get in. not even some one who can teleport!" Rei stated, not realizing she had just said the secret she had been wanting to know. *** Ami was still kissing Zoisite when they ended up in the pool. Only this time the passionate embrace lasted longer, A LOT longer. They broke the kiss at the same time. The pool was capacious, and had several waterfalls in various places around the pool. He looked down and looked back Up at Ami. "Um. I think my aim was a little off.." Ami kissed him. "No your aim was perfect. I'm the Sailor Soldier of Water." "Oh.." Ami got out of the pool and dived in, relishing the seductive feel of the water against her skin. A few moments later, she resurfaced right in front of him. Ami saw Zoisite stare at her a fleeting moment, his smoky-green eyes piercing the very bottom of her soul, but his eyes were so beautiful and mysterious. "She's even more beautiful now." He told himself, glancing her up and down, noticing how the droplets of water on her eyelashes brought out the blue in her eyes. Ami smiled sarcastically. "You're drooling again." He gave her a look that said I know I am and I don't particularly care because you're so beautiful and then kissed her, slow and seductive, but very passionate. (And in Ami's opinion very pleasurable.) *** "Any suggestions on how we can get into Ames's room?" To everyone Serenity's question sounded more like a demand, (it actually was). "I suggest we try to break down the door." Jade said with enthusiasm. Serenity looked hopelessly around. "Any others?" None. "Okay then, we'll try Jade's idea." Serenity said exasperated. The eight of them walked out of the room towards Ami's hall. *** The two lovers finally broke the kiss gasping for air. Zoisite picked Ami up effortlessly, and she wound her legs around his, (muscular), waist, and her arms around his neck. "This could give a man ideas." Z thought with a smile. "Not that she already doesn't give me ideas. this would just make those ideas a lot easier to make happen.." Ami took the thong out of his hair that held it in place, threw it on the ground beside the pool, and treaded her fingers through his hair. In reflex to her threading her fingers through his hair, Z planted a kiss on her lips, his lips just barely touching hers, leaving Ami to lean into the kiss and make the moment happen, which is exactly what she did. He ran his fingers up and down her spine, sending chills of adrenaline though her body, causing her to shiver. *** "One, two, three!" Serenity shouted, watching with laughing eyes as Mal, Neph, and Jade threw their bodies against the four inch thick mahogany doors, (not to mention the one inch thick sheet of titanium alloy reinforced steel in the middle). The three worn out males slumped against the doors with a sigh. "Whoa, this has to be the most fucked up ball I've ever been to." Jade laughed. "You're not the only one who thinks so, Jade. Damn, this was one hell of a fucked up ball. I guess we're the only people stupid enough to try to break through these damn doors." Mal agreed, slamming his fist against the marble floor, his head was resting on the door, and his now sweat soaked platinum blonde hair was plastered to his head and hanging limp behind him. Mina looked down at the pitiful looking males and giggled. "What's so funny?" Neph asked a faux hurt look on his face. "You guys didn't even bother to ask how thick these door were or what they were made of." Mina replied amidst her hysterical giggles. The men exchanged glances. "Well, what are they made out of?" The shirtless Jade asked. "Four inch thick mahogany with a one inch thick sheet of titanium alloy reinforced steel in the middle." Lita replied matter-of-factly. "Ami designed them herself. And so far only one person was able to break into her room." "And that guy got his ass kicked big time." Serenity added with a smile. Jade's eyes got big. "You mean Ami's THAT strong?" Mina nodded. "She froze him to death. The poor guy never had a chance." "You mean the smart blue-haired Mercurian princess killed somebody?" Neph asked in disbelief. "Nah shit Sherlock." Rei was focused on Jade. "She's killed a lot of people. like the rest of us.." *** Ami broke their kiss. "Do you think we've kept them in suspense long enough?" "No, I don't think so." Z ginned and pulled Ami off of him. "Wanna give 'em more of a scare?" Ami couldn't believe what she was thinking about doing, but she wondered what HE was thinking about doing.. "What do you plan to do?" The spark in his eyes was of pure teen-age boyish behavior. " I suggest that I wet my hair and you wet yours again and then teleport back to your room. I'll then teleport the key at Mina's feet and when they open the door. we would be in a full 'play' make-out session." "Absolutely not!" Ami said firmly, eyes narrowed. Z cocked an eyebrow. "Well, if you're THAT afraid.."

"I'm not afraid of anything. not even YOU." Ami said defiantly. "Not afraid of.." His words trailed off, as she dunked him. He came up gasping for air, just as she went under. She surfaced in front of him. "Told ya' I wasn't afraid of you." "That settles it then." He said. Z kissed Ami and they disappeared, leaving floating frozen sakura blossoms behind. *** Mina caught a glint of silver and looked down. "Hey guys! Here's the key!" Mina picked up the key, just as Rei and Lita rushed over. " My key! I get to open the door!" "I get to open the door!" "I found it I get to open the door!" Mina said, holding the key firmly in her fist against her chest. While three of the females were arguing, the four males were in hysterics. "Who'd'a thought? Three of the most admired females in the galaxy arguing over a key?" Prince Endymon laughed. Neph looked and was serious. "I've done that before." "You ass!" Jade managed between laughs. Serenity walked over to her arguing friends. "My palace; my key; I get to open the door." Mina slowly handed the key to her leader. Serenity grabbed the key, walked back to the doors, opened one of them, threw it open, and gasped at what she saw. Rei was next to look, and gasped. "I'm not seeing this." Lita was next to look, and shook off a giggle. "Hey, guys, you've gotta come see this!" Mina and the males walked over. Mina smiled. "Aww, isn't that sweet?" "Zoisite!" Mal yelled, although it didn't travel over the loud music. "Mal, do you have to be so harsh?" Endymon asked playfully. "Well, he is under my command." Mal retorted. "He's under my command too AND so are you." Endymon retorted back. Serenity walked over, turned off the music, and cleared her throat. Ami and Zoisite both looked up. "Hi guys." Ami murmured, turning a bright shade of scarlet. "Took y'all long enough.." Z muttered under his breath. "What was THAT?" Mal said harshly. Z looked worried. "Uh. nice to see ya'?" (Just to give you an idea of what Serenity and them were seeing: Zoisite had his weight positioned over Ami, (they were still in their swim wear), both of their faces smeared with Ami's pink lipstick. Both Ami and Zoisite's hair was a mess and was 'sweaty'. Their ball attire was strewn in various places around the room.) Just then a girl with long, pale electric blue hair walked in the room. "Watery, I'm telling mom!" The girl sneered and ran out of the room. "Irena! Wait!" Ami started to get up, but fell back down, muttered 'damn' under her breath, and started kissing Zoisite earnestly, instead of playfully, and felt him smile against her lips. "She wants it." He thought. "But I'm not going to give it to her. yet.." *********************************************************************** Hi, Hate to say it, but for all you readers out there, I LOVE to leave people on the edge wondering what's going to happen next.
