Violence and swearing and *implied* adult scenes





Chapter 3: Battles of the Heart





*Mina*

"Dammit!" I exclaimed as I ran up the stairs to my room and found him already in there. "Dammit, dammit, dammit!"

"One should not curse so much" he said.

"You beat me! Now you are gonna have to pay!!!" I said playfully as he picked me up and laid me down on the bed. I squirmed under him, trying to get comfy, and succeeding. "How's this?" he asked as he kissed me deeply.

"Not good enough" I said.

"Ok, well then, how's this?" he asked as he started kissing my neck.

"Oh, god." I said "that's good, but not enough" he looked at me.

"Oh, really?" he asked rather playfully. I grinned.

"Well, how's this?" he asked as he kissed my stomach.

"Oh, my, god." I exclaimed "that's too much. I can't handle that. I might get out of control . . . " I said, sitting up.

"Oh but I can't get enough of you." He said.

"Save it for another time."

"When?" he whined.

"Maybe tonight, if you are lucky." I said playfully. He smiled and tackled me back down on the bed and kissed me.....



*Rei*

"Let his be known: anyone who challenges the high king of Mars will not live to see another day!" exclaimed my dumb ass brother.

"Well, we'll see about that." I said and the crowd gave a roaring cheer.

"It's almost sundown" he said.

"Showtime" I said drawing my sword and he drawing his. He took a lunge at me which I easily avoided and used the hilt of my sword as a stick with which I hit him on the ass. The crowd laughed. Nothing gave me more pleasure. He got up, enraged, and slung his sword down onto mine. I twirled it loose and used my free arm to back-hand him across the face. I knocked a few teeth out doing that and he spat blood.

"You little bitch. They don't teach you that in whore houses."

"Damn straight" I said. "But would I be a half god without it?" he looked up at me, completely amazed. "I am fighting a half god to my death?" he asked with fear in his eyes.

"Not entirely." I said. "I haven't gotten all my powers yet. That comes with the throne." He suddenly looked less fearful and said "well, I'm gonna kill you before you get that!" as he took another thrust at me. We fought for some time and he finally got me on the ground; I had been fighting without a sword for about an hour. He held his blade against my neck and bent down.

"You shouldn't have challenged me dear sister. Now you will pay the price of challenging m-" *chink*



*Mina*

*knock knock* I heard as I groggily woke up.

"What....." I whined.

"Missa Mina? it'sa dinah time."

"We'll be there shortly" I said as I rolled over and into something strong and solid. "Hmm...." he made a little noise when my face smashed into his chest. I looked up at his face to watch him sleeping. I never really realized how much he looked like a child when he slept. I giggled a little bit and he tightened his grip on me. I then nestled back into his embrace for a short nap.

*knock knock* "wha?...." I mumbled.

"Missa Mina? Yous is missun dinna."

"I don't care" I said.

"Princess Serenity is hera to see yousa both."

"OH MY GOD!!!" I exclaimed. I totally forgot about Serenity coming to approve our marriage. "I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN!!!!" I screamed. Surprisingly, Malachite slept through the whole thing. "Malachite," I said as I shook him, "wake up!"

"Hmm.... no kiss?" he said, looking at me.

"Well, if you insist." I said as I bent over and gave him a quick kiss. "There, you've had your fix for now. Now get dressed."

"Why?"

"Because, stupid, Serenity is here." He quickly jumped out of bed and got dressed. I then started laughing.

"What are you laughing about?" he said glaring at me.

"This is so ridiculous." I said.

He paused for a moment and then said "I completely agree." and hurried along with dressing. We then headed down towards the dinner hall where the princess was waiting.



*Rei*

"No, you will pay the price of challenging me." I said as I twisted the blade I had hidden in my wristband, into his gut. He immediately let go of the sword on my neck and it rolled off. I rolled him over, off of me. I bent down towards his face. "Oh, I loved you so much dear brother. Why did you fear me so?"

"I didn't....fear...you. I ....was...jealous...people....mars...father.....they loved and still.....love....you...and I was.....jealous and ...sc....scared...that I would not......become king......I am.....so.....sorry Rei......can...you ....ever....."

"Yes, I can." I said as I held his hand. "I forgive you."

"I love you sister, and when I am dead......you will be.....queen....but I fear.....I am dying....."

"I know." I said sadly. "If you had the chance to do it all again, would you have done that to me?"

He looked into my eyes, painfully. "No, oh..... god no. Rei, I tried ..........to destroy you......... I was hor...ribly ......cruel. And look.... at you. You are so..... beautiful. You are a .....beautiful ......person too. How could ........I have been .......so blind? if ......I could, .........I would take it...... back, but I am ......afraid, I will ...........die."

"Don't say that." I said with tears coming to my eyes.

"I am just........ glad that it was .........you who brought me ......to ........justice."



*Mina*

here's a good piece of advice: don't over sleep. It's not worth it. A total pain in the ass to be exact. When we got down in the hall, the princess had already eaten over half of the food, and mind you it was enough to feed the entire Martian army. What a pig! But we became best friends so I don't really know why I am talking about her like that. She had also fallen asleep on the table. That was a sight. When she heard us enter, she quickly sat straight up, some chicken still stuck to the side of her face.

"Welcome princess," Malachite began, "I hope you have, ahem, made yourself at home." he finished with a snicker as she wiped her face clean. He then bent down and whispered in my ear, "I had to do that. I am sorry."

"Don't be" I said with a smile. "Yes, welcome princess."

"Ah, don't call me that. I hate it. Call me sere. Everyone else does." She was very forward and fearless, I guess, is the right word. "Well, let's get down to business." she said, hopping down from the table and over to us. "So this is Malachite, prince of......"

"Vega"

"ah, Vega. Nice place. And you are Mina, princess of Venus. I have heard much about both of you."

"Really"

"oh yes. Really. Some of it is quite disturbing but I think you will both keep each other in check. Just don't pull anything or I'll have you killed. Got it?"



*rei*

"I'm not going to let you die. Not now."

"Yes,...... let me."

"No." I said, my eyes turning black once again. I chanted and held my head and arms up to the sky. Then a beam of light came down and into his body. As I held his hand, we began to glow a radiant red. When the glowing ceased, I was in my formal red dress and he was in his formal red Roman robes. We were a lot like the romans in many ways but we did not fall apart like they did. They, actually, copied their architecture and clothing from us. Anyways, I stood up and held my hand out to my brother, "come now, we must rule." I said. He slowly got up.

"You saved me. I'll never be able to repay you for this."

"Yes you will." I said. "Be sure of it." we then walked back to the palace, talking all the way about what we had done in the past years and catching up with each other. Witchcraft: it's a funny thing how it works.



*Mina*

we stood with our mouths open. "Got it?"

"Yes oh yes. Got it."

"Well, then I permit you to be married wherever you choose in Venus, the moon, or earth."

"Thank you princess." I said.

"Sere, please."

"Sere" I said. " and thank you again sere."

"Yeah, no prob. Chiao!" she said as she teleported in a beam of light to the moon. "Well, that was odd. Or at least I thought it was. I haven't ever seen a princess act like that before." I said. I noticed Malachite was looking at the table.

"Hey? did you hear a word I just said?"

"No. Sorry. I was just thinking......"

"What? you were thinking what?" I asked.

He snickered again and said as he looked at me, "have you ever made out on a table?"



*Rei*

later on that night, after my brother had gone to bed, I went to the outskirts of town.

"Rei, there you are. I heard all about the challenge and I was so worried about you. He's so strong but so are you but I didn't know what was going to happen and I was just so worr-" "shhh." I said, putting a finger up to his mouth. "It's ok. See me? not hurt. He only hit me once and it was a chicken shot. But I am ok. I promise."

"Oh Rei, I was so scared. I am glad to see you are all in one piece." he said as he held me close.

"Of course I am, silly. Come on. Let's go back to the palace." I said as I took his hand and we walked back to the palace.



*Mina*

"oh Malachite."

"Hmm...?" he said as we lay on the table.

"My back hurts. Can we go to bed?" he got a naughty little smile on his face and said

"ok milady."

"Oh stop it," I said.

"Stop what?" he asked.

"Are you always horny or thinking that you are going to get sex?"

"Oh no. it's just my little Venusian temptress. I can't resist you." he said, kissing my neck.

"Ahh. Don't do that. I can't walk when you do that."

"I can't help myself" he said with a laugh. I took off running up that stairs towards the room.

"I bet I'll beat you!!!" I exclaimed.

"Oh, no you won't!!!!" he yelled as he ran after me.

"Stop. Let's make this a real race. One with a prize to win."

"I'm listening." I said.

"Ok, if I win, I get you and all of you for the rest of tonight."

"And if I win, you are my slave for the entire night."

"Deal."

"Deal." We shook on it and I took off running again. 'I know this castle better than he does. There's no way he'll beat me.' Needless to say, we both careened into each other when we arrived at the door. "I beat you!!!" I exclaimed.

"No way. I beat you!!!" he stated.

"Nu uh!"

"Uh huh!"

"Did not!!"

"Did too!!" This continued for a while and then I thought 'Mina you retard just run in the door.' so I used my brain for once and turned the knob and walked in, "HAHAHAAAA!!!! I BEAT YOU!!!!!" I said dancing around the room. "Now come in, slave." I said to him. He stealthily walked into the room, ever so seductively.

"Yes, master?" he asked bowing down in front of me.

"You are irresistible yourself." I said smiling at him. He smiled at me and we both knew he'd won anyways so.....hehe....that's how the story goes.......
