Chapter 5: Shameless
"It sure was great to see you again Amy," Jadeite said.
"It was my pleasure," she stated before turning to Rei.
"I'll keep this a secret. If any of the rest find out, it's because you told them. For god's sake be careful and take care of yourself," she said. "And thank you for having me over. I much enjoyed it and I'll be back later on this week if that's alright with you."
"Of course Amy," she said. "The door is always open."
"Ok, be seeing you Rei," Amy said as she left them room and the temple.
As soon as Rei was sure the blue haired girl was completely away from the temple, her disgust melted and she turned and immediately collided into Jadeite's solid chest.
He wrapped his arms protectively around her and kissed her so heavily and passionately that it would have made Mina blush. he shut the door and backed her into the back of it and placed his hands firmly on each side of her head.
"What are you doing?" she asked when he broke it the first time.
"I don't know," he said, breaking the kiss a second time.
"You need to rest," she said as he started kissing her neck.
'I'm about to lose control,' she thought to herself. 'Gods give me strength.'
"I don't need rest."
"Yes you do," she said firmly.
"I need you," he said huskily into her ear, his cheek barely touching hers.
"You need to rest. Now don't make me incapacitate you."
He smiled and chuckled. "Stay with me then?"
"Stay with you? what do you mean?"
"You used to know," he smiled and looked her in the eye.
"I'll put it in your words then," he paused and looked over her face as she waited for him to speak again.
"Please don't leave me."
"Tonight?"
"All night," he said. "And I promise I won't do anything."
His cobalt blue eyes burned into her as she finally sighed heavily.
"Fine. But only on your word, which doesn't mean anything to me as of five years ago, that you won't do anything that will force me to physically disable you."
"That's all I'm asking," he said as he kissed her again before retiring for the night. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Jed," a man with long wavy brown hair said. "You don't stand a chance."
"Why do you say that?" the shorter man asked, looking back over his shoulder.
"Well," the brown haired man said as he walked up beside Jadeite. "Just look at her."
The both watched the five inner planetary princess but concentrated more on the object of Jadeite's obsession: Mars.
"She's so beautiful," Jadeite said.
"But not all things are as kind as they are beautiful," he warned.
"Neph, you are so pessimistic."
"No. You just haven't been listening," Nephrite said. "They say she's like the fire. Beautiful and alluring yet deadly to anyone who gets caught in it."
"Yeah really," a sarcastic voice echoed behind the two men. "Get caught up with her and you'll wind up dead."
"Zoi," Nephrite said. "Lighten up. I'm only warning him."
"So am I," he said with an arrogant smile.
"No you aren't," Nephrite shot him a dirty look. "They seem rather child- like from a distance."
"But they aren't," Jadeite said, his eyes still fixated on the black haired girl. "How old are they again?"
"I believe the princess Amy is seventeen, princess Mina is nineteen, princess Serenity is sixteen, princess Rei is nineteen, and princess Lita is eighteen," Nephrite stated.
"So that's what? Four years difference?" Jadeite asked. "No too bad."
"Yes," Nephrite commented. "Fortunate you, being the second youngest of the four of us and all."
"So what do I do now?" Jadeite asked.
"Give it up," Zoicite suggested. "She'll be the first to turn you down and the last to say yes."
"Don't listen to him."
"Never have," Jadeite said. Both the men still had their backs to the youngest, most ignorant general, and their attention on the group of girls.
"Rei," Lita said. "Those two guys have been staring at you for the last five minutes."
"Ooo!" Mina cried out. "Rei! How come you always get all of the guys' attention?"
"Quit pouting Mina," Serenity said. "Rei doesn't want them."
"Sere!" Amy nearly shouted. "That's not true."
"Amy!" Rei growled at her closest companion. "What in the hell do you think you are doing?"
"I'm sticking up for you!"
"Don't say another word about it!" Rei looked at her in that "you know exactly what I am talking about" manner.
"Ok," Amy said quietly and went back to doing what she was doing.
"I KNEW IT!!!" Mina's cry pierced the air. "REI LIKES SOMEONE!!!!!"
Both men winced at the magnitude of Mina's shrill voice.
"MINA!!!" Rei yelled. "SHUT UP!!!"
"So it's true then?" Mina said, grabbing for the snack dish.
"No," Rei said firmly. Mina glared at Sere who snatched the snack dish for herself.
"Yes it is," Sere said. "And I know who it is," she stuffed her face.
"No you don't," Rei looked skeptically at her friend.
"Is it true?" Lita asked.
"Yep!" Sere said, quite proud of herself. "Sure is."
"Ooo! Tell us!" Mina begged, snatching the dish back from Sere. .
Rei shot a sideways glance at Amy.
"I didn't say a word."
"You didn't have to Ames," Sere said. "I've seen the way Rei drools all over herself when he walks into a room."
"Whatever ," Rei said as she stood up. "I refuse to participa te in such childish activitie s."
"You're just mad because I know who it is," Sere said.
"No," Rei contested. "You don't know. The only one besides me that knows anything is Amy."
"I haven't told a soul," Amy said in defense for herself.
"Oh well," Sere said. "I guess those incredible blue eyes," she said, batting her eyelashes at Rei. "And that short blonde hair just screaming for you to run your hands through it and his lips just begging to kiss you and that awesome body of his....." she started grinning like a love-sick teenager.
Rei stopped dead in her tracks and ran over to tackle Sere to the ground, tickling her till she turned red and purple and blue in the face and was screaming for mercy.
"So help me god Sere. You utter one more word and I'll-," she didn't finish her sentence. She and Sere and the rest of the girls were now in a tickling fight.
"Did you hear all of that?" Nephrite asked.
"Which part?" Jadeite asked, a little spaced out.
"The part about the 'incredible blue eyes' and 'short blonde hair'," Nephrite said, turning his head to his comrade.
"Oh," Jadeite said. "Yeah, I heard that."
"Well?"
"Well what?" Jadeite asked, turning his attention to his friend and smiling.
"Who the hell do you think she was talking about?"
"I don't know."
"Don't play dumb with me. You and I both know damn good and well she was talking about you."
"Now that you mention it," Jadeite said somewhat arrogantly, returning his attention to the mess of five girls. "Heh," he smirked. "Did you see the way she just flattened the princess at what she said?"
"Yeah," Nephrite said and smiled himself. "She was rather quick to defend herself."
"Now what should I do?" Jadeite asked. "I may be twenty-three but I still don't know a damn thing when it comes to women."
"That is true my friend," Nephrite said. "So very true. You are still much a child in many ways. Just like the princesses."
"Yeah, sure," Jadeite said. "Just because I'm not as old as you doesn't mean I'm not as mature as you."
"Prove it and then I'll believe it," Nephrite stated. "You act like you are her age most of the time. But," he paused. "On some occasions, you have surprised me with wisdom and actions of a person beyond your years."
"I just don't know what to do with her."
"Then you realize that you can't get by with looks and power on this one?"
"I think it's the other way around," Jadeite said as they began walking around the rounded area where the girls sat.
"You think right. She has turned down more suitors than any of the others have encountered thus far. With her looks and high power, she could have any man other than Endymion, but she doesn't want any. You must find out why and find a way to make her want you. And that, my friend, is the key."
"Sounds complicated."
"Nah. Just be yourself."
"That won't get me too far."
"You have no idea of the wonders of women," Nephrite said as he pushed Jadeite into the room as hard as he could without knocking him over. "Good luck."
Jadeite stared hard in disbelief at his friend as he disappeared and then heard furious giggle fits emanating from behind him.
He reposed himself quickly and ran a hand through his hair and rested it on the back of his neck as he hung his head for a moment.
At that specific action, he heard more giggling and some excited whispering. He turned around to find all five girls standing there in front of him and all but one going completely crazy over him.
He smiled softly and looked Rei in the eyes. She rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and sighed rather heavily.
"Insufferable," she commented under her breath.
He laughed softly. "Why do you say that Rei?"
"I don't see what the fuss is over you," she said walking up to him. "After all, you are only a man."
Their eyes met again as she shot looks of fire at him and passed him on her way out.
"There she goes," Mina said and rolled her eyes. "Again."
**********************************************************************
Rei breathed out slowly and her eyes opened to be greeted by waning sunlight.
"Oh gods, I slept so long" she groaned and attempted to roll over onto her stomach but something didn't permit such a movement.
"What the?" she asked herself as she felt down under the covers.
'Something warm,' she thought to herself. She trailed her hand along the warm object until she came across something more familiar.
'A hand,' she commented to herself. Her hand went on over fingers and then the fingers closed around hers. She immediately felt something shift behind her.
Slowly she turned her head to see what was back there.
"Jadeite," she said softly and he opened his brilliant blue eyes and looked up into her deep purple ones.
"Yes Rei?" he asked.
"You're holding my hand."
He smiled. "Yes. And?"
"Stop."
"Alright," he said and released her hand but not his grip around her waist.
"What happened last night?" she asked, not even attempting to fight him to release her completely.
"You mean 'why are we in bed together?' or 'what did I do to you?'"
"Both."
"Well, let me see...."
*FLASH* "That's all I'm asking," he said as he kissed her again.
"Jed?" the princess said.
"Oh gods," he breathed out and backed off of her. "You have go to quit doing this to me."
"Doing what? Jed, you're confusing me."
"Spontaneously popping up in the most compromising of situations."
"I just try as hard as I can to get to you until both lives can be united," the princess explained.
"But for right now," she paused and sauntered up to him, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Just kiss me."
"As you wish," he said, kissing her hard and relentlessly.
They both walked toward the bed together and she fell back with him on top of her, kissing her. She ran a hand through his short blonde hair and conformed the other to his arm.
"Jed?" she asked him weakly as he began running a hand up her thigh and under her dress.
"Yes princess?"
"Make love to me," she said. "Please," she asked.
"Anytime, anywhere," he said breathlessly to her before continuing.
She wrapped both of her arms around his neck as he sat back and lifted her up into a sitting position. Not breaking their kiss until the last possible moment, he deftly removed her short dress.
'Finally,' he thought to himself and he lay her back down on the bed.
She easily pulled his t-shirt off over his head and threw it somewhere else in the room. Her hands ran over his strong chest and then over his broad shoulders, and, finally, rested on the back of his neck, bringing him down onto her in a kiss. He rolled over with her now on top and began fumbling with the back of her bra.
"I can't get it," he laughed as she sat up, straddling his flat stomach.
She smiled and laughed. "A little out of practice love?"
"About a thousand years out," he said as she quickly and easily removed the cursed thing and cast it aside.
"Better?"
"Much better," he said and kissed her again, feeling higher desire for her finally rise within himself and then realization.
"No," he said as he broke the kiss off.
"What?"
"It's not right."
"What's so wrong about this?" she asked.
"It's not that this isn't real. I know the difference by now," he muttered as he sat up and she found his shirt and put it on herself.
"I used to be tortured with visions of you that were so real it nearly killed me every time it turned out to be some demon or mind trick. But this is still different."
"How Jed?" she asked. "I'm here. I want you. I love you. And you want me and love me too."
"I know but," he paused. "It just wouldn't be right."
"Oh," she said, sitting beside him. "Because I still reject you."
"Yeah," he said thoughtfully. "I wouldn't want to disrespect anything."
"You were always good about things like that," she said. "Among other things."
"And she calls me a pervert for some of the things I say."
"She won't for much longer," the princess said. "We are coming closer. The more she remembers, the more we become the same."
"I can't wait much longer."
"You have to Jed," she paused. "You have to."
"I know. But for now, I'd just like some sleep."
*FLASH* "And that's about it," he said. There was a long pause as she stared at the wall, sitting up in the bed. "And you don't believe me."
"Well," she said slowly. "That does explain why I am in your shirt."
"So you believe me?"
"Not really," she said distantly as she faced him.
"You don't really have a reason not to," he suggested.
"But I don't have any reason to believe you either."
"True," he said, gently running a hand up and down her arm.
"What are you doing?" she spat suddenly.
"Touching you," he said, sitting up beside her. "What? you don't like it?"
She glared. "Not really. Not from you at least."
"You don't want me to touch you?" he asked and she continued glaring.
"Not even like this?" he asked as he leaned into her shoulder and trailed his hand along the top and inside of her thigh.
She shivered at his touch and bit down hard as not to let her reaction show.
"Stop," she said firmly.
"Why?" he asked, not stopping what he was doing. He moved her hair from her neck with his other hand and gently kissed her neck and shoulder.
"Because," she said flatly.
"You don't have a reason," he said into her ear.
In her mind she wanted to hate him, wanted to hate him touching her. But the truth was, the more he touched her, the more she wanted to just rip his pants off as fast as she could and have him right then and there. She controlled herself, despite what her body willed her to do, and sat as rigidly as she could while he tried to seduce her.
"I know you want it," he said silkily. "Want me."
She whimpered softly as his hand crept closer up her thigh.
"Why don't you let me?" he asked hypnotically.
She closed her eyes tightly and swallowed hard.
"I," she began.
'Oh gods, what am I doing?' she asked herself as her body screamed bloody murder for him.
He felt her every move. Every thought. Every emotion or feeling. The waves she emitted were driving him near the edge of control. The more she fought herself, the stronger the need became. He stopped his advancements on her thigh and used that hand to push her back down on her back as the last rays of light disappeared over the horizon. Leaning over her, she finally opened her eyes and looked at him. The dim moonlight played enchantingly on his hair and illuminated his eyes.
She breathed in deeply.
'Why the hell not,' she thought in her mind as he read her thoughts and descended downward to kiss her hard on the lips.
Her hands went to his neck and through his hair and his went around her waist and under her back. She rocked her hips hard onto his and he groaned deep in all attempts not to just rip both of their clothes of and have her right there. He began to feel the strong need to remove his clothing and the shirt from her body. her every move and sound turning him into an animalistic monster.
He moved both of his hands under her shirt and pulled it up over her head and pitched it aside. She placed a firm grip on the split in his button up shirt and literally ripped it open. His breathing became harder as he pushed himself up on his hands to further aid her cause.
She looked hungrily at his strong, firm chest as she slid her hands swiftly over his shoulders. He moved one arm up and out of the shirt and then the other, still balancing his weight above her. She helped pull it off and then threw it across the room.
"This is dangerous," she said right before he kissed her again.
"How so?" he asked in a rich tenor voice.
"Anyone of my friends or my grandpa could walk in on us, and, heh, that'd be the end."
"Oh, I don't think anyone will," he said, looking in the direction of the door, placing some spell on it.
He turned his attention back to her, his crystal blue eyes shining down at her.
"Good," she said and he kissed her again.
"I don't think I can get those off," she said, referring to his boxers.
"Oh," he smiled. "I think I can."
In a matter of a few more moments, both of them were completely stripped of their clothes and wrapped in each others arms.
"Oh gods Rei," he breathed out, almost in a panic. "I don't know if I can take this."
"Then don't," she said softly.
"You just don't know what you do to me," he said, pushing her hands into the soft pillow on either side of her head. "Are you sure you want this?" he asked cautiously.
"Yes," she barely breathed.
He dropped his head down beside hers and let out a long breath as his hair fell down into his face right before he did any inalterable actions. He clenched his eyes shut tightly and then looked down into hers.
"No," he said softly. "I can't."
"Excuse me?" she asked, rather confused at his statement.
"It's not right," he said. "It just isn't right."
"Why not?" she asked as he rolled off of her and to his feet, looking for his boxers and shirt.
"Because," he said, slipping his boxers up to his waist and looking at her sideways as he slipped his shirt over his head. "It just wouldn't be right."
"I still don't understand," she said to him, sitting up.
He tossed her a shirt. One of his shirts. He smiled at the look she gave him and then she put it on.
"You'll just have to trust me," he said, sitting back down beside her on the bed and leaning in close to her.
"I'll let you know when the time is right," he said, taking her chin under his thumb and kissing her lightly. "But for now, you still need some rest."
"Alright," she said and he got up to leave.
"Jed?" she asked, holding onto his wrist as he began walking away.
"Yes?" he turned his head to her and asked.
"Stay with me?"
He smiled. "Anytime."

They both walked toward the bed together and she fell back with him on top of her, kissing her. She ran a hand through his short blonde hair and conformed the other to his arm.
"Jed?" she asked him weakly as he began running a hand up her thigh and under her dress.
"Yes princess?"
"Make love to me," she said. "Please," she asked.
"Anytime, anywhere," he said breathlessly to her before continuing.
She wrapped both of her arms around his neck as he sat back and lifted her up into a sitting position. Not breaking their kiss until the last possible moment, he deftly removed her short dress.
'Finally,' he thought to himself and he lay her back down on the bed.
She easily pulled his t-shirt off over his head and threw it somewhere else in the room. Her hands ran over his strong chest and then over his broad shoulders, and, finally, rested on the back of his neck, bringing him down onto her in a kiss. He rolled over with her now on top and began fumbling with the back of her bra.
"I can't get it," he laughed as she sat up, straddling his flat stomach.
She smiled and laughed. "A little out of practice love?"
"About a thousand years out," he said as she quickly and easily removed the cursed thing and cast it aside.
"Better?"
"Much better," he said and kissed her again, feeling higher desire for her finally rise within himself and then realization.
"No," he said as he broke the kiss off.
"What?"
"It's not right."
"What's so wrong about this?" she asked.
"It's not that this isn't real. I know the difference by now," he muttered as he sat up and she found his shirt and put it on herself.
"I used to be tortured with visions of you that were so real it nearly killed me every time it turned out to be some demon or mind trick. But this is still different."
"How Jed?" she asked. "I'm here. I want you. I love you. And you want me and love me too."
"I know but," he paused. "It just wouldn't be right."
"Oh," she said, sitting beside him. "Because I still reject you."
"Yeah," he said thoughtfully. "I wouldn't want to disrespect anything."
"You were always good about things like that," she said. "Among other things."
"And she calls me a pervert for some of the things I say."
"She won't for much longer," the princess said. "We are coming closer. The more she remembers, the more we become the same."
"I can't wait much longer."
"You have to Jed," she paused. "You have to."
"I know. But for now, I'd just like some sleep."
*FLASH* "And that's about it," he said. There was a long pause as she stared at the wall, sitting up in the bed. "And you don't believe me."
"Well," she said slowly. "That does explain why I am in your shirt."
"So you believe me?"
"Not really," she said distantly as she faced him.
"You don't really have a reason not to," he suggested.
"But I don't have any reason to believe you either."
"True," he said, gently running a hand up and down her arm.
"What are you doing?" she spat suddenly.
"Touching you," he said, sitting up beside her. "What? you don't like it?"
She glared. "Not really. Not from you at least."
"You don't want me to touch you?" he asked and she continued glaring.
"Not even like this?" he asked as he leaned into her shoulder and trailed his hand along the top and inside of her thigh.
She shivered at his touch and bit down hard as not to let her reaction show.
"Stop," she said firmly.
"Why?" he asked, not stopping what he was doing. He moved her hair from her neck with his other hand and gently kissed her neck and shoulder.
"Because," she said flatly.
"You don't have a reason," he said into her ear.
In her mind she wanted to hate him, wanted to hate him touching her. But the truth was, the more he touched her, the more she wanted to just rip his pants off as fast as she could and have him right then and there. She controlled herself, despite what her body willed her to do, and sat as rigidly as she could while he tried to seduce her.
"I know you want it," he said silkily. "Want me."
She whimpered softly as his hand crept closer up her thigh.
"Why don't you let me?" he asked hypnotically.
She closed her eyes tightly and swallowed hard.
"I," she began.
'Oh gods, what am I doing?' she asked herself as her body screamed bloody murder for him.
He felt her every move. Every thought. Every emotion or feeling. The waves she emitted were driving him near the edge of control. The more she fought herself, the stronger the need became. He stopped his advancements on her thigh and used that hand to push her back down on her back as the last rays of light disappeared over the horizon. Leaning over her, she finally opened her eyes and looked at him. The dim moonlight played enchantingly on his hair and illuminated his eyes.
She breathed in deeply.
'Why the hell not,' she thought in her mind as he read her thoughts and descended downward to kiss her hard on the lips.
Her hands went to his neck and through his hair and his went around her waist and under her back. She rocked her hips hard onto his and he groaned deep in all attempts not to just rip both of their clothes of and have her right there. He began to feel the strong need to remove his clothing and the shirt from her body. her every move and sound turning him into an animalistic monster.
He moved both of his hands under her shirt and pulled it up over her head and pitched it aside. She placed a firm grip on the split in his button up shirt and literally ripped it open. His breathing became harder as he pushed himself up on his hands to further aid her cause.
She looked hungrily at his strong, firm chest as she slid her hands swiftly over his shoulders. He moved one arm up and out of the shirt and then the other, still balancing his weight above her. She helped pull it off and then threw it across the room.
"This is dangerous," she said right before he kissed her again.
"How so?" he asked in a rich tenor voice.
"Anyone of my friends or my grandpa could walk in on us, and, heh, that'd be the end."
"Oh, I don't think anyone will," he said, looking in the direction of the door, placing some spell on it.
He turned his attention back to her, his crystal blue eyes shining down at her.
"Good," she said and he kissed her again.
"I don't think I can get those off," she said, referring to his boxers.
"Oh," he smiled. "I think I can."
In a matter of a few more moments, both of them were completely stripped of their clothes and wrapped in each others arms.
"Oh gods Rei," he breathed out, almost in a panic. "I don't know if I can take this."
"Then don't," she said softly.
"You just don't know what you do to me," he said, pushing her hands into the soft pillow on either side of her head. "Are you sure you want this?" he asked cautiously.
"Yes," she barely breathed.
He dropped his head down beside hers and let out a long breath as his hair fell down into his face right before he did any inalterable actions. He clenched his eyes shut tightly and then looked down into hers.
"No," he said softly. "I can't."
"Excuse me?" she asked, rather confused at his statement.
"It's not right," he said. "It just isn't right."
"Why not?" she asked as he rolled off of her and to his feet, looking for his boxers and shirt.
"Because," he said, slipping his boxers up to his waist and looking at her sideways as he slipped his shirt over his head. "It just wouldn't be right."
"I still don't understand," she said to him, sitting up.
He tossed her a shirt. One of his shirts. He smiled at the look she gave him and then she put it on.
"You'll just have to trust me," he said, sitting back down beside her on the bed and leaning in close to her.
"I'll let you know when the time is right," he said, taking her chin under his thumb and kissing her lightly. "But for now, you still need some rest."
"Alright," she said and he got up to leave.
"Jed?" she asked, holding onto his wrist as he began walking away.
"Yes?" he turned his head to her and asked.
"Stay with me?"
He smiled. "Anytime."
