Chapter 24: Reflections Part 2
Endymion glanced onto his captivating queen and
said "thats good, maybe it will keep his mind
on HIS attendant and off anyone else." Serenity's
eyes snapped open as she spoke "I dont believe
it, your jealous." Endymion tried to defend
himself and was failing horribly "um... No I
am not... I just think that it would be better,
if he kept his mind on protecting everyone" he
stated. Kissing her husband, Serenity giggled
"Sure, I belive you.... Dont worry about him
he admitted himself tonight, that he understands
about us." Endymion knew that Guardian cared for
Serenity as much as he did, so he lied and said
"ok I wont worry about that anymore tonight,
Goodnight my Usako." "Goodnight my love" Serenity
repiled faintly as she was already asleep.
------------------------------------------------------
Guardian sat in one of turrets of the palace,
gazing up at the nights sky. Events of that
day passed through his mind, along with the
question, what was his real age, since he
had been in three different time periods.
Guardian shook his head in shock, when he added
up his total age. Physically, he still looked
like he did when he served Lady Zaira in his
Twenties. But that was in the year 495 B.C,
considering it was now the year 1045 A.C. or
3045 A.D that would mean he was now two thousand
five hundred and fifty years old. Guardian
faintly heard a voice say "There you are Guardian,
I have been looking for you." Guardian tensed
hoping that he wouldn't have to take flight,
after sitting there for so long. Serenity
climbed up the latter to the turrent, after
she had noticed that Guardian was missing.
She had a pretty good idea where he might be
at, "Its a lovely night out is it not Usako"
Guardian asked Serenity staring off into the
nights sky.
Serenity gasped at Guardian calling her
"Usako", Guardian then realized what he
had just said. "Please forgive my informality,
my queen. It just that I have had a very
strange day and I must be feeling my true age"
Guardian spoke bowing to Serenity. "Guardian,
its only me Serenity, not your queen.
Formality has its time and place, but here
were just Serenity and Guardian ok?" Serenity
repiled, "Ok, can I ask you a question?"
Guardian asked looking at her. "Guardian, you
know you can ask me anything.." Serenity's face
turned red for a second then she continued
"Well, almost anything." Guardian grinned at
Serenity's comment, "Taking all the fun out it
I see" he repiled pouting. Serenity's mouth
flew open as a very shocked "Guardian!" came
out. Guardian started laughing, "well you set
yourself up for that." After Serenity took a
playful swipe at him, "when you used that
device on me, what all did you do?" Guardian
asked seriously.
"You mean the Ginzuishou? All it did was repair
your mental and nervous systems, why do you ask?"
Serenity asked curious. "Ever since then, I been
having strange feelings that I thought were gone
forever" Guardian repiled. Serenity's eyes widened
at this, "You mean feelings like love and feelings
like that?" she asked surprised. Guardian looked
over at her in shock, and nodded his head. "I
feel so guilty about this, I still love Zaira but
I feel like if I loved again I would be turning my
back on her" Guardian stated leaning against the
stone wall. Serenity now understood his problem,
"Guardian if you fell in love again, wasn't that
what she want you to do?" For the first time in
all of the years that she had know Guardian,
he surprised her. "I know its stupid and immature
but I am scared to try love again" Guardian
replied looking down ashamed.
"I'am afraid I won't remember how to" he
continued, A look of understanding apeared on
Serenity's face as ~so that explains what happened
today~ went through her mind. A look of great
embarrassment covered Guardian's face as he
looked down turning red. "Serenity, uh...just
how much do you know about what happened today?"
he asked.
~FLASHBACK TO EARLY THAT MORNING~
Guardian finished placing Fresh flowers,and
other touches that Rei suggested that Cloe
might like in her room. He already had placed,
a selection of silk dresses for Cloe to try on
later on the dresser. Guardian then sat down
beside his sleeping attendant's bed and softly
brushed her hair out of her face. Cloe stirred
slightly in her sleep, then she remembered that
she was supposed to awake and helping Guardian.
She suddenly woke up and discovered someone
sitting next to her bed. Cloe modestly pulled
her covers up to her neck, blushing deeply when
she saw who it was. "Did you enjoy your rest,
Cloe?" Guardian asked his blushing modest
attendant.
After she silently nodded, he smiled replying
"I'am glad, Cloe dispite what everyone said
about your duties. There are a few you dont
have to worry about ok? First you dont have
to be awake before I am and help me in the
morning. I dont get up myself until around
10 so you can sleep in. Second, I know what
Rei told you, but you dont have to help me
in the bath. For Rei its ok because Serenity
is also a female. But with us well.... it
would be rather uncomfortable for the both
of us" Guardian stated looking down turning
a deep red from embarrassment. Cloe's face
turned a deep shade of red also, remembering
Rei speaking of her helping Guardian bathe.
Cloe looked up with her flame red colored
face and found that Guardian was also deeply
embarressed about the topic of her helping him
bathe. When she heard that Guardian said that she
didn't have to do that, the words ~He really IS
a gentleman~ went through her mind. "Cloe, you
can go back to sleep if you want after this
conversation. There are some clothes on your
dresser for you to try on later" Guardian said
as he stood up to leave. "G-Guardian, where will
you be if I need you?" Cloe asked timidly,
Guardian smiled leaning over to softly caress
her face. "I will probably be either in the
training room or here" he repiled kissing her
on the forehead. Turning the deepest red she
had ever, Cloe barely whispered "Thank you
Guardian" for she was still shy around him.
Moments after Guardian walked out, Cloe let
out a moan of despair and pulled the covers
over her head. ~Why do I ALWAYS act like a
timid little girl when he is around? Why
can't I act like a normal nineteen year girl,
and tell him how I feel?~ Cloe thought beating
herself up mentally. "Let me guess Guardian
problems right?" came a voice from inside
her room, Cloe at first panicked then realized
that it was Princess Rei. Cloe uncovered
her head and saw Rei standing there with an
understanding look on her face. "You like
him don't you? But everytime he is around you,
you turn timid and shy right?" Rei asked sitting
down next to Cloe. All Cloe could do was turn
red and look down sheepishly. "That's the same
way I acted when I first met him, let me tell
you how I solved my problem. Maybe it can help
you" Rei said leaning down and whispering in
Cloe's ear.
Guardian walked into a darkened room, the lights
detecting his presence automatically turned on.
He gasped in amazement at the size of the
training facilty that was available for use.
He then shook his head and thought ~duh.. you
baka OF COURSE there is a large training room
here, where do you think the Sailor Scouts train.~
Guardian walked over to a strange looking device
on the far fall. On examining it, he found that
it was some sort of a stereo system. But what he
didn't understand was, what the small black screen
above it did. Guardian changed into his training
outfit, which were a pair of boxing shorts, and
started to select his music. On finalizing the
list of music for his workout, Guardian started
his warm up as the song "Elevation" by the
Twentieth century group U2 played in the
background. Mina crankily put on her robe, for
some reason she had woken up at six in the morning.
Not only was she in cranky mood because she
couldn't get back to sleep. Her Highness had
called a Holiday today in celebration of
Guardian's return, which meant that she had
the whole day free to herself and she wanted
to sleep in.
Mina was walking past the training room, on
her way to the kitchen, hoping that a snack
was what she needed. When she noticed light
shining from underneath the door of the
training room, and she could faintly hear music
playing. Her curiosity getting the better of
her, she opened the door and peeked inside.
Mina gasped, her face flushing at what she saw,
Guardian working out without a shirt.
~Oh my!~ went through her mind as she fanned
herself. Mina glanced up at the small black
screen and saw that the music was the opening
theme from her favorite anime Oh, my goddess.
Mina's face blushed deeper as she watched
Guardian, she knew that she shouldn't be
watching him. But she found that she couldn't
remove her eyes from him. This was all so
new to her for she had never seen a male
without a shirt before, and this was GUARDIAN
shirtless here.
She stood there as song after song played,
mesmerized by Guardian's performance. Little
did she know that two hours had gone by and
that she was not the only one that was
watching him anymore. Ami sliently stood
there wide-eyed staring in astonishment
at Guardian, her face was now also deeply
flushed. Lita's jaw figuratively went
through the floor, when she saw Guardian.
Rei just stood there with a knowing smile
on her face, as ~I knew those sparring
matches we had would come in handy one
day~. Guardian decided to take a break,
and discovered that he had an audience.
Shutting off the music, he turned and
said "I'am so sorry ladies, did I wake
you?" Everyone blinked when they realized
that Guardian had caught them watching him,
and promptly blushed crimson. Knowing that
the rest of the group wasn't going to say
anything, Rei replied "No brother, you didnt
wake any of us up. Its eight in the morning,
most of us where up already."
"Once again,looks like you were right about
the martial arts training sis" Guardian
repiled bowing to her. "I would come over
and give you a hug but right now I am kinda
offensive from my workout. I have an idea
why dont you ladies join me, one of these
mornings during my workout" Guardian spoke
to the group. The blushing women blushed
even deeper when he said that to them.
They nodded yes and then one by one they
left until Mina was standing there alone.
Glancing up from his stretching on the
floor, Guardian spoke "Sis, when I said
one of these mornings. I meant this one
also, if you want to join me. Just let
me take a shower first ok?" Mina's eyes
grew wide, as she squealed in delight,
and took off down the hall. Guardian
stood there smiling "I'll take that as a
yes" he said shaking his head laughing.
Lita and Ami were quietly talked to
each other about Guardian, when Mina
ran by them giggling like a teenager.
"I wonder what Mina's so excited
about?" Ami asked watching Mina enter
her room. A few minutes passed, before
the still giggling Mina left her room
wearing her workout clothing. "I don't
belive it, Mina is going to join him
today!" Lita said shocked. "Your just
jealous that you didn't think of it
first" Ami giggled avoiding the punch
Lita threw at her. Guardian waited
for Mina to return by selecting the
perfect song for their sparring.
Mina ran back to the training room
as fast as she could, panting out of
breath when she entered. "You didn't
have to run sis, I wasn't going
anywhere" Guardian stated. All Mina
could do was look down and blush.
"After you warm up, would you like to
join me in a sparring match?" Guardian
asked his blushing self adopted sis.
Mina looked up in shock, as ~guardian,
wants to spar with ME? Now Mina he
doesn't know that your the second
strongest in sparring, next to Rei of
course.~ A sly smile crossed Mina'a face
as ~oh, well what he doesn't know~ went
through her mind. "Guardian, thank you
for honoring me by asking me to join you"
Mina repiled starting to warm up. "No
my lovely sister, It is you who honor me
with your presence" Guardian spoke bowing
to her. Mina turned around so that Guardian,
couldn't see how deeply she was blushing.
Guardian sliently watched Mina warmup as
~Wow, when I told sis that she was going
to be even more gorgous then what she was
already. Boy was that was the understatement
of the millennium. Look at her she looks
absolutely exquisite, my little sister
has grown up into a very attractive young
woman. Hm... I wonder if she is still single?
AHHHHHH. Guardian quit thinking like that,
even if she isnt your sister by blood. She
still is your sister by your self adopting
her.~
When Guardian went silent, Mina looked behind
her cautiously. What she saw made her blush
harder then before, Guardian was staring at
her for some reason. Mina noticed Guardian
shook his head as if he was trying to clear
it, and blinked. Guardian couldn't belive
himself, thinking of his sweet, innocent,
little sister like that. He was deeply
ashamed of himself, he then noticed that
Mina was done with her warm-up. Guardian
wondered if this was such a good idea after
all? "*cough* Are you ready now Mina?" he
asked her, Mina lightly blushed and said
"Yes, I am Guardian." Word that Guardian
was going to spar with Mina, spread through
the palace like fire. Soon half the palace
were trying to watch the match, Guardian
walked over to the stereo and hit play.
Both combatant's entered the ring, bowed
to each other and assumed a fighting stance.
"I knew that you had a sense of humor, but
that's just plain wrong" Mina complained
as the song "MORTAL KOMBAT" started in the
background.
Without warning Mina attacked, and scored
a easy hit on Guardian. "You know, you are
suppose to fight back Guardian" she said
to Guardian. "I'am afraid that I will hurt
you sis, your just so delicate and fragile"
Guardian repiled. Out in the hall both Ami
and Lita softly gasped, knowing that
Guardian had just made a VERY big mistake.
Rei smirked and spoke "looks like we're going
to see how much training he remembers.
Flames appeared in Mina's eyes, as she nearly
shouted "I AM NOT FRAGILE AND DELICATE."
It was then that she attacked, not holding
anything back. It was a slaughter, Guardian
still wouldn't fight back as ~just my luck
I found her one peeve~ went through his mind.
"Mina calm down!!! I didn't know you were
touchy about that!! Ouch Mina that hurt!!"
Guardian stated trying to dodge her attacks.
"What's wrong Guardian, you said you wanted
to spar and now you wont even try" Mina
stated teasingly. Shortly after Guardian was
whacked in the back of the head, he decided
that he had enough. Just as Mina was about
to attain a mock killing blow, she was blocked
by Guardian.
"Its about time you started Guardian" Mina
replyed. Of everyone in the hall, nobody was
as shocked at the speed that Mina and Guardian
were sparring at more then Rei. "How-How is
that possible? How can Mina move that fast?"
asked a very shocked Rei. The two warrior's
were sparring at a rate so fast, it seemed
like a blur to those watching. Mina started
getting annoyed that she wasn't able to score
another hit on Guardian. So she furtively
switched to street fighting, hoping that
Guardian wouldn't notice. Guardian barely had
enough time to jump, when Mina tried to knock
his legs from under him. "So my little
high-spirited sis, you thought you could change
the rules. You had hoped that I wouldn't notice,
didn't you my dainty princess" Guardian spoke
also switching to street fighting. "B-Bu-But
they can't do that street fighting's illegal!!"
sputtered a now shocked Ami. All that Guardian
received from his taunt of Mina, was for her to
snarl at him in a feral like rage "I'AM NOT
DAINTY!!"
At Mina's actions, all of her friends in the hall
were starting to get worried and very nervous.
"Uh..A-Ami d-d-didn't Mina get this mad once
before, remember when that Prince kept trying to
dance with her at her twenty-first birthday banquet?"
Lita asked starting to shake. Ami who also was
shaking out of fright nodded and said "Remember
what happened to him? He was in the medical wing
for almost a year, because of all those broken bones."
Mina was so blinded by her own blood rage, that
she started to lose her warriors mind set. It
was then that Guardian was able to make his move,
he then grabbed Mina, pined her arm behind her back
and wrapped an arm around her neck. "You need to
calm down Mina, but has anyone ever told you how
attractive you look when your mad?" Guardian spoke
unconsciously nuzzling the back of her neck. When
Rei saw this she spoke "I dont belive it, has
Guardian lost his mind? Look at him he is
deliberately provoking her, doesn't he understand
that she is going to KILL him?"
But what she saw next shocked her even more,
her friends were betting on who would win. "I bet
five days of cooking lessons, that Guardian wins"
Lita stated to Ami. "I bet two of my food
experiments, that Mina will win. And, if she loses
I will do your duties for a day Lita" Ami repiled.
"Ok, If Guardian loses I will be your assistant
at the university for one day" Lita responded.
"I am shocked at you betting on two friends like
that, you should be ashamed of your self's" Rei
heatedly spoke. Looking down ashamed, Lita spoke
"Well, who are you betting on Rei?" With a sound
of disgust, Rei walked away from Lita and Ami.
When Guardian nuzzled the back of her neck, it
snapped Mina out of her blood rage. ~Did he
really do what I think he did? He-he nuzzled
the back of my neck! Ohhh so thats it, were
playing hardball now.~ is what went through
Mina's mind. Guardian released Mina and leaped
out of her way, knowing that she would be VERY
mad now. Grinning deviously, Mina placed the
most innocent and demure look on her face as
she turned around. "Why did you stop sparring
brother?" Mina asked sounding innocent.
Now this caught Guardian completly off guard,
"Uh.. Whats going on here Mina? One minute,
you wanted to kill me. Then next your sweet
and nice like when you wanted something?" he
repiled starting to back up. "Can't a girl
be nice to her tall, strong, and handsome big
brother without having to play twenty
questions?" Mina asked sounding hurt slowly
walking toward Guardian. ~What is going on here?
First she wants to kill me, and now she is being
as sweet and innocent as she can be? What is she
planning???~ Guardian thought completly confused.
"N-N-Now Mina I dont know what your planing, but
whatever it is it won't work" Guardian stated
nervously backing up faster. "What ever do you
mean, my dear Guardian?" Mina exclaimed sashaying
closer to where Guardian was standing. Guardian
nearly fell because he was backing up faster and
faster. Little did he know that the wall to the
training room was rapidly approaching.
It soon became know to Lita, Ami, and Rei what
Mina was trying to do. "I can't believe her,
using her powers to trick Guardian like that.
That's so distasteful, that I'am leaving" Ami
said with a look of disgust aimed at Mina.
"And I thought when they were street fighting
that it was shocking, look at her using all her
charms to keep Guardian off guard" Lita repiled
shaking her head in shock. "M-M-Mina I don't
know what your doing, but please stop it. Your
starting to scare me sis" Guardian stuttered
tripping over his own feet. "What's wrong
Guardian, dont you like me anymore?" Mina spoke
acting like she was going to cry. "I-I-I still
like you Mina, I like you more then I want to
admit. But your my little sister, even if I
did self adopted you myself. Your still my little
sister Mina" Guardian stated looking franticly for
an escape route. This brought a grin to Mina's
face, "Do you like me as a sister Guardian, or
as a WOMAN?" Guardian's face paled at what Mina
was implying, "Please Mina you dont know what
your doing!" he pleaded.
Ami had just picked up the class papers she
needed to grade, and was headed toward the
library. She thought ~I can't belive that
Mina would go, so low as to act like a-a I-I
can't even say it because its so bad. And all
just so that she could win against Guardian.~
"Oh, and what am I doing Guardian?" Mina
innocently asked with an under lying layer
of seduction. Guardian visibly swallowed
at Mina's question, backed up more and found
that his back was to a wall. "Don't you find
me attractive at all Guardian?" Mina asked
with a innocent smile on her face. "Yes, but
Please dont do this Mina. I worry about what
I might do" Guardian repiled with tears running
down his face. Mina was standing so close that
Guardian could smell that she wore Orange spice
perfume. Guardian bolted around Mina and took
off running trying to get out of there. Mina
chased Guardian down and grabbed him, just as
she grabbed him Guardian felt his legs give
out from under him.
Guardian collapsed on the floor, dragging a now
surprised Mina with him. Looking up at Mina's
face which was flushed a light pink from
excitement and glistening from sweat. Guardian's
eyes grew wide as he felt himself losing control.
"Mina, please run, its not safe here, I am losing
control" Guardian whimpered in a whisper. "Am I
making you lose control Guardian" Mina whispered
enticingly. It was then that a low feral like
growl came from Guardian's throat, and Mina
found herself pinned to the floor. Guardian
looked down on her and thought ~I can't take
looking at those delicious, quivering pink lips
anymore~. He then deeply kissed Mina on her
luscious pink lips. A huge gasp of shock was heard,
from those gathered to watch the sparring match.
Guardian blinked returning to his normal mindset
and thought ~what is going on?~ Then he noticed that
he was deeply kissing Mina. "P-p-princess, I am
deeply sorry I dont know what came over me. It
wasn't proper or gentlemanly for me to kiss you
like that. I have disgraced myself as your big
brother. I'am so deeply sorry" Guardian whispered
turning blood red with tears rolling down his face.
He then whispered "I'am so sorry" and ran through
the crowd and down the hall. Mina laid there on the
floor in a daze, as ~Guardian just kissed me on the
lips~ went through her mind. Lita and Rei came running
on to the floor and asked "Mina are you alright?" Mina
sat up with a dazed expression "Yes, everything is
wonderful" she repiled sighing contentedly. Guardian
was running down the hall, not watching where he was
going when he ran into someone. "I'am so sorry Miss,
This is all my fault I should have been watching
where I was going" Guardian stated helping to pick
the papers on the floor. "Dont worry Guardian, I'am
sure it was an accident" spoke the person. Guardian
looked up into a pair of crystal blue eyes, "Ami?"

Endymion glanced onto his captivating queen and
said "thats good, maybe it will keep his mind
on HIS attendant and off anyone else." Serenity's
eyes snapped open as she spoke "I dont believe

repiled faintly as she was already asleep.
------------------------------------------------------
Guardian sat in one of turrets of the palace,
gazing up at the nights sky. Events of that

question, what was his real age, since he
had been in three different time periods.

faintly heard a voice say "There you are Guardian,
I have been looking for you." Guardian tensed
hoping that he wouldn't have to take flight,
after sitting there for so long. Serenity
climbed up the latter to the turrent, after
she had noticed that Guardian was missing.
She had a pretty good idea where he might be

Guardian asked Serenity staring off into the

Serenity gasped at Guardian calling her
"Usako", Guardian then realized what he
had just said. "Please forgive my informality,

Guardian spoke bowing to Serenity. "Guardian,
its only me Serenity, not your queen.
Formality has its time and place, but here
were just Serenity and Guardian ok?" Serenity
repiled, "Ok, can I ask you a question?"
Guardian asked looking at her. "Guardian, you
know you can ask me anything.." Serenity's face
turned red for a second then she continued
"Well, almost anything." Guardian grinned at
Serenity's comment, "Taking all the fun out it

flew open as a very shocked "Guardian!" came

"You mean the Ginzuishou? All it did was repair

over at her in shock, and nodded his head. "I
feel so guilty about this, I still love Zaira but
I feel like if I loved again I would be turning my
back on her" Guardian stated leaning against the
stone wall. Serenity now understood his problem,
"Guardian if you fell in love again, wasn't that
what she want you to do?" For the first time in
all of the years that she had know Guardian,
he surprised her. "I know its stupid and immature
but I am scared to try love again" Guardian
replied looking down ashamed.
"I'am afraid I won't remember how to" he
continued, A look of understanding apeared on
Serenity's face as ~so that explains what happened
today~ went through her mind. A look of great
embarrassment covered Guardian's face as he
looked down turning red. "Serenity, uh...just
how much do you know about what happened today?"
he asked.
~FLASHBACK TO EARLY THAT MORNING~
Guardian finished placing Fresh flowers,and
other touches that Rei suggested that Cloe
might like in her room. He already had placed,
a selection of silk dresses for Cloe to try on
later on the dresser. Guardian then sat down
beside his sleeping attendant's bed and softly
brushed her hair out of her face. Cloe stirred
slightly in her sleep, then she remembered that
she was supposed to awake and helping Guardian.
She suddenly woke up and discovered someone
sitting next to her bed. Cloe modestly pulled
her covers up to her neck, blushing deeply when
she saw who it was. "Did you enjoy your rest,
Cloe?" Guardian asked his blushing modest

After she silently nodded, he smiled replying
"I'am glad, Cloe dispite what everyone said

Cloe looked up with her flame red colored

embarressed about the topic of her helping him

didn't have to do that, the words ~He really IS
a gentleman~ went through her mind. "Cloe, you
can go back to sleep if you want after this
conversation. There are some clothes on your
dresser for you to try on later" Guardian said
as he stood up to leave. "G-Guardian, where will
you be if I need you?" Cloe asked timidly,
Guardian smiled leaning over to softly caress
her face. "I will probably be either in the
training room or here" he repiled kissing her
on the forehead. Turning the deepest red she
had ever, Cloe barely whispered "Thank you
Guardian" for she was still shy around him.
Moments after Guardian walked out, Cloe let
out a moan of despair and pulled the covers
over her head. ~Why do I ALWAYS act like a
timid little girl when he is around? Why
can't I act like a normal nineteen year girl,
and tell him how I feel?~ Cloe thought beating
herself up mentally. "Let me guess Guardian
problems right?" came a voice from inside
her room, Cloe at first panicked then realized
that it was Princess Rei. Cloe uncovered
her head and saw Rei standing there with an
understanding look on her face. "You like
him don't you? But everytime he is around you,
you turn timid and shy right?" Rei asked sitting
down next to Cloe. All Cloe could do was turn
red and look down sheepishly. "That's the same
way I acted when I first met him, let me tell
you how I solved my problem. Maybe it can help
you" Rei said leaning down and whispering in
Cloe's ear.
Guardian walked into a darkened room, the lights
detecting his presence automatically turned on.
He gasped in amazement at the size of the
training facilty that was available for use.
He then shook his head and thought ~duh.. you
baka OF COURSE there is a large training room
here, where do you think the Sailor Scouts train.~
Guardian walked over to a strange looking device
on the far fall. On examining it, he found that
it was some sort of a stereo system. But what he
didn't understand was, what the small black screen
above it did. Guardian changed into his training
outfit, which were a pair of boxing shorts, and
started to select his music. On finalizing the
list of music for his workout, Guardian started
his warm up as the song "Elevation" by the
Twentieth century group U2 played in the
background. Mina crankily put on her robe, for
some reason she had woken up at six in the morning.
Not only was she in cranky mood because she
couldn't get back to sleep. Her Highness had
called a Holiday today in celebration of
Guardian's return, which meant that she had
the whole day free to herself and she wanted
to sleep in.
Mina was walking past the training room, on
her way to the kitchen, hoping that a snack
was what she needed. When she noticed light
shining from underneath the door of the
training room, and she could faintly hear music
playing. Her curiosity getting the better of
her, she opened the door and peeked inside.
Mina gasped, her face flushing at what she saw,
Guardian working out without a shirt.
~Oh my!~ went through her mind as she fanned
herself. Mina glanced up at the small black
screen and saw that the music was the opening
theme from her favorite anime Oh, my goddess.
Mina's face blushed deeper as she watched
Guardian, she knew that she shouldn't be
watching him. But she found that she couldn't
remove her eyes from him. This was all so
new to her for she had never seen a male
without a shirt before, and this was GUARDIAN
shirtless here.
She stood there as song after song played,
mesmerized by Guardian's performance. Little
did she know that two hours had gone by and
that she was not the only one that was
watching him anymore. Ami sliently stood
there wide-eyed staring in astonishment
at Guardian, her face was now also deeply
flushed. Lita's jaw figuratively went
through the floor, when she saw Guardian.
Rei just stood there with a knowing smile
on her face, as ~I knew those sparring
matches we had would come in handy one
day~. Guardian decided to take a break,
and discovered that he had an audience.
Shutting off the music, he turned and
said "I'am so sorry ladies, did I wake
you?" Everyone blinked when they realized
that Guardian had caught them watching him,
and promptly blushed crimson. Knowing that
the rest of the group wasn't going to say
anything, Rei replied "No brother, you didnt
wake any of us up. Its eight in the morning,
most of us where up already."
"Once again,looks like you were right about
the martial arts training sis" Guardian
repiled bowing to her. "I would come over
and give you a hug but right now I am kinda
offensive from my workout. I have an idea
why dont you ladies join me, one of these
mornings during my workout" Guardian spoke
to the group. The blushing women blushed
even deeper when he said that to them.
They nodded yes and then one by one they
left until Mina was standing there alone.
Glancing up from his stretching on the
floor, Guardian spoke "Sis, when I said
one of these mornings. I meant this one
also, if you want to join me. Just let
me take a shower first ok?" Mina's eyes
grew wide, as she squealed in delight,
and took off down the hall. Guardian
stood there smiling "I'll take that as a
yes" he said shaking his head laughing.
Lita and Ami were quietly talked to
each other about Guardian, when Mina
ran by them giggling like a teenager.
"I wonder what Mina's so excited
about?" Ami asked watching Mina enter
her room. A few minutes passed, before
the still giggling Mina left her room
wearing her workout clothing. "I don't
belive it, Mina is going to join him
today!" Lita said shocked. "Your just
jealous that you didn't think of it
first" Ami giggled avoiding the punch
Lita threw at her. Guardian waited
for Mina to return by selecting the
perfect song for their sparring.
Mina ran back to the training room
as fast as she could, panting out of
breath when she entered. "You didn't
have to run sis, I wasn't going
anywhere" Guardian stated. All Mina
could do was look down and blush.
"After you warm up, would you like to
join me in a sparring match?" Guardian
asked his blushing self adopted sis.
Mina looked up in shock, as ~guardian,
wants to spar with ME? Now Mina he
doesn't know that your the second
strongest in sparring, next to Rei of
course.~ A sly smile crossed Mina'a face
as ~oh, well what he doesn't know~ went
through her mind. "Guardian, thank you
for honoring me by asking me to join you"
Mina repiled starting to warm up. "No
my lovely sister, It is you who honor me
with your presence" Guardian spoke bowing
to her. Mina turned around so that Guardian,
couldn't see how deeply she was blushing.
Guardian sliently watched Mina warmup as
~Wow, when I told sis that she was going
to be even more gorgous then what she was
already. Boy was that was the understatement
of the millennium. Look at her she looks
absolutely exquisite, my little sister
has grown up into a very attractive young
woman. Hm... I wonder if she is still single?
AHHHHHH. Guardian quit thinking like that,
even if she isnt your sister by blood. She
still is your sister by your self adopting
her.~
When Guardian went silent, Mina looked behind
her cautiously. What she saw made her blush
harder then before, Guardian was staring at
her for some reason. Mina noticed Guardian
shook his head as if he was trying to clear
it, and blinked. Guardian couldn't belive
himself, thinking of his sweet, innocent,
little sister like that. He was deeply
ashamed of himself, he then noticed that
Mina was done with her warm-up. Guardian
wondered if this was such a good idea after
all? "*cough* Are you ready now Mina?" he
asked her, Mina lightly blushed and said
"Yes, I am Guardian." Word that Guardian
was going to spar with Mina, spread through
the palace like fire. Soon half the palace
were trying to watch the match, Guardian
walked over to the stereo and hit play.
Both combatant's entered the ring, bowed
to each other and assumed a fighting stance.
"I knew that you had a sense of humor, but
that's just plain wrong" Mina complained
as the song "MORTAL KOMBAT" started in the
background.
Without warning Mina attacked, and scored
a easy hit on Guardian. "You know, you are
suppose to fight back Guardian" she said
to Guardian. "I'am afraid that I will hurt
you sis, your just so delicate and fragile"
Guardian repiled. Out in the hall both Ami
and Lita softly gasped, knowing that
Guardian had just made a VERY big mistake.
Rei smirked and spoke "looks like we're going
to see how much training he remembers.
Flames appeared in Mina's eyes, as she nearly
shouted "I AM NOT FRAGILE AND DELICATE."
It was then that she attacked, not holding
anything back. It was a slaughter, Guardian
still wouldn't fight back as ~just my luck
I found her one peeve~ went through his mind.
"Mina calm down!!! I didn't know you were
touchy about that!! Ouch Mina that hurt!!"
Guardian stated trying to dodge her attacks.
"What's wrong Guardian, you said you wanted
to spar and now you wont even try" Mina
stated teasingly. Shortly after Guardian was
whacked in the back of the head, he decided
that he had enough. Just as Mina was about
to attain a mock killing blow, she was blocked
by Guardian.
"Its about time you started Guardian" Mina
replyed. Of everyone in the hall, nobody was
as shocked at the speed that Mina and Guardian
were sparring at more then Rei. "How-How is
that possible? How can Mina move that fast?"
asked a very shocked Rei. The two warrior's
were sparring at a rate so fast, it seemed
like a blur to those watching. Mina started
getting annoyed that she wasn't able to score
another hit on Guardian. So she furtively
switched to street fighting, hoping that
Guardian wouldn't notice. Guardian barely had
enough time to jump, when Mina tried to knock
his legs from under him. "So my little
high-spirited sis, you thought you could change
the rules. You had hoped that I wouldn't notice,
didn't you my dainty princess" Guardian spoke
also switching to street fighting. "B-Bu-But
they can't do that street fighting's illegal!!"
sputtered a now shocked Ami. All that Guardian
received from his taunt of Mina, was for her to
snarl at him in a feral like rage "I'AM NOT
DAINTY!!"
At Mina's actions, all of her friends in the hall
were starting to get worried and very nervous.
"Uh..A-Ami d-d-didn't Mina get this mad once
before, remember when that Prince kept trying to
dance with her at her twenty-first birthday banquet?"
Lita asked starting to shake. Ami who also was
shaking out of fright nodded and said "Remember
what happened to him? He was in the medical wing
for almost a year, because of all those broken bones."
Mina was so blinded by her own blood rage, that
she started to lose her warriors mind set. It
was then that Guardian was able to make his move,
he then grabbed Mina, pined her arm behind her back
and wrapped an arm around her neck. "You need to
calm down Mina, but has anyone ever told you how
attractive you look when your mad?" Guardian spoke
unconsciously nuzzling the back of her neck. When
Rei saw this she spoke "I dont belive it, has
Guardian lost his mind? Look at him he is
deliberately provoking her, doesn't he understand
that she is going to KILL him?"
But what she saw next shocked her even more,
her friends were betting on who would win. "I bet
five days of cooking lessons, that Guardian wins"
Lita stated to Ami. "I bet two of my food
experiments, that Mina will win. And, if she loses
I will do your duties for a day Lita" Ami repiled.
"Ok, If Guardian loses I will be your assistant
at the university for one day" Lita responded.
"I am shocked at you betting on two friends like
that, you should be ashamed of your self's" Rei
heatedly spoke. Looking down ashamed, Lita spoke
"Well, who are you betting on Rei?" With a sound
of disgust, Rei walked away from Lita and Ami.
When Guardian nuzzled the back of her neck, it
snapped Mina out of her blood rage. ~Did he
really do what I think he did? He-he nuzzled
the back of my neck! Ohhh so thats it, were
playing hardball now.~ is what went through
Mina's mind. Guardian released Mina and leaped
out of her way, knowing that she would be VERY
mad now. Grinning deviously, Mina placed the
most innocent and demure look on her face as
she turned around. "Why did you stop sparring
brother?" Mina asked sounding innocent.
Now this caught Guardian completly off guard,
"Uh.. Whats going on here Mina? One minute,
you wanted to kill me. Then next your sweet
and nice like when you wanted something?" he
repiled starting to back up. "Can't a girl
be nice to her tall, strong, and handsome big
brother without having to play twenty
questions?" Mina asked sounding hurt slowly
walking toward Guardian. ~What is going on here?
First she wants to kill me, and now she is being
as sweet and innocent as she can be? What is she
planning???~ Guardian thought completly confused.
"N-N-Now Mina I dont know what your planing, but
whatever it is it won't work" Guardian stated
nervously backing up faster. "What ever do you
mean, my dear Guardian?" Mina exclaimed sashaying
closer to where Guardian was standing. Guardian
nearly fell because he was backing up faster and
faster. Little did he know that the wall to the
training room was rapidly approaching.
It soon became know to Lita, Ami, and Rei what
Mina was trying to do. "I can't believe her,
using her powers to trick Guardian like that.
That's so distasteful, that I'am leaving" Ami
said with a look of disgust aimed at Mina.
"And I thought when they were street fighting
that it was shocking, look at her using all her
charms to keep Guardian off guard" Lita repiled
shaking her head in shock. "M-M-Mina I don't
know what your doing, but please stop it. Your
starting to scare me sis" Guardian stuttered
tripping over his own feet. "What's wrong
Guardian, dont you like me anymore?" Mina spoke
acting like she was going to cry. "I-I-I still
like you Mina, I like you more then I want to
admit. But your my little sister, even if I
did self adopted you myself. Your still my little
sister Mina" Guardian stated looking franticly for
an escape route. This brought a grin to Mina's
face, "Do you like me as a sister Guardian, or
as a WOMAN?" Guardian's face paled at what Mina
was implying, "Please Mina you dont know what
your doing!" he pleaded.
Ami had just picked up the class papers she
needed to grade, and was headed toward the
library. She thought ~I can't belive that
Mina would go, so low as to act like a-a I-I
can't even say it because its so bad. And all
just so that she could win against Guardian.~
"Oh, and what am I doing Guardian?" Mina
innocently asked with an under lying layer
of seduction. Guardian visibly swallowed
at Mina's question, backed up more and found
that his back was to a wall. "Don't you find
me attractive at all Guardian?" Mina asked
with a innocent smile on her face. "Yes, but
Please dont do this Mina. I worry about what
I might do" Guardian repiled with tears running
down his face. Mina was standing so close that
Guardian could smell that she wore Orange spice
perfume. Guardian bolted around Mina and took
off running trying to get out of there. Mina
chased Guardian down and grabbed him, just as
she grabbed him Guardian felt his legs give
out from under him.
Guardian collapsed on the floor, dragging a now
surprised Mina with him. Looking up at Mina's
face which was flushed a light pink from
excitement and glistening from sweat. Guardian's
eyes grew wide as he felt himself losing control.
"Mina, please run, its not safe here, I am losing
control" Guardian whimpered in a whisper. "Am I
making you lose control Guardian" Mina whispered
enticingly. It was then that a low feral like
growl came from Guardian's throat, and Mina
found herself pinned to the floor. Guardian
looked down on her and thought ~I can't take
looking at those delicious, quivering pink lips
anymore~. He then deeply kissed Mina on her
luscious pink lips. A huge gasp of shock was heard,
from those gathered to watch the sparring match.
Guardian blinked returning to his normal mindset
and thought ~what is going on?~ Then he noticed that
he was deeply kissing Mina. "P-p-princess, I am
deeply sorry I dont know what came over me. It
wasn't proper or gentlemanly for me to kiss you
like that. I have disgraced myself as your big
brother. I'am so deeply sorry" Guardian whispered
turning blood red with tears rolling down his face.
He then whispered "I'am so sorry" and ran through
the crowd and down the hall. Mina laid there on the
floor in a daze, as ~Guardian just kissed me on the
lips~ went through her mind. Lita and Rei came running
on to the floor and asked "Mina are you alright?" Mina
sat up with a dazed expression "Yes, everything is
wonderful" she repiled sighing contentedly. Guardian
was running down the hall, not watching where he was
going when he ran into someone. "I'am so sorry Miss,
This is all my fault I should have been watching
where I was going" Guardian stated helping to pick
the papers on the floor. "Dont worry Guardian, I'am
sure it was an accident" spoke the person. Guardian
looked up into a pair of crystal blue eyes, "Ami?"
