BAD REPUTATION
*******************
It's been quite awhile since I left and my 'rebirth' as I've taken to
thinking of it.
I never give a damn about my reputation
You're living in the past, it's a new generation
I don't feel guilty anymore. Sure, I should give some kind of indication to
the senshi that I'm not really dead, but they never noticed me when I was
alive, so why should I bother?
Hey, a girl can do what she wants to do
And that's what I'm gonna do
I have so much more freedom. I have my growing powers, my Love, and an army.
Life is good.
I can do whatever I want.
And I don't give a damn about my bad reputation
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
I don't care what they think of me. That is, if they think of me at all. It
has not escaped my attention that my former friends have not shown any more
remorse over my 'death' after the first month or so.
If I'd known I meant so little to them, I would have left long before.
I should have left long before.
And I never give a damn about my reputation
I never said I wanted to improve my station
And I'm only feeling good when I'm having fun
And I don't have to please no one
My life is great at the moment. Before my life was all about approval.
My absent parents approval, my friends approval. My teachers approval.
It was never about me.
And I don't give a damn about my bad reputation
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Not long before I actually defected, I had tried to care, but it was just not
possible for me to do so.
I'd make up my mind to talk to one of them, and then something would happen
and I would be even more taken for granted than before.
And I never give a damn about my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
And I don't really care if I'm strange
I ain't gonna change
Now though I like me.
And the new me is going to have to meet my ex-friends soon.
I am really unhappy about hiding from those girls.
Why should I have to hide from them?
And I'm never gonna care about my bad reputation
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not me
Me, me, me, me, me, me
Break it down
It'll probably crush them when they meet the new me.
The lovely, caring and above all, _weak_ Mina is no more, replaced with a
strong and capable Venus. Sure, I still care, just not as freely as I did
before.
If you care as much as I used too, people use you and then you get hurt.
Never give a damn about my reputation
The world's in trouble, there's no communication
And everyone can say what they want to say
It never gets better anyway
It's not going to happen to me again.
We're going to make this world our own. And if those girls don't like it,
it's really their own problems.
Still, they have so few members now.
Three.
I have a feeling that their number will shortly decrease further, also.
This should be entertaining.
The tears are long gone now, this is all for revenge.
*
Kunzite was in a bit of a predicament.
Venus had become ultra sensitive to magic recently, instinctively attacking,
even when not awake.
It was good in hostile situations, but this was just ridiculus.
She was a lot stronger than her tiny frame appeared.
Hence his problem.
Malachite was at present pinned under his Love's form, and whilst this would
usually not bother him at all, he really had to go as he was supposed to lead
training today.
She had been sleeping so badly, that he did not want to wake her up to move,
and he couldn't even teleport out of her arms, as he had no desire to be
skewered by something this early in the day.
Sure, he would heal, but it was still inconvenient.
One more time he tried to get her to let go, and one more time he failed
miserably in his attempt.
There was nothing for it, he would have to wake her up.
He reached out a hand to shake her, and waited for the inevitable explosion.
*
Nephrite tapped his foot impatiently. Malachite was supposed to have been on
the grounds twenty minutes before, and it was just strange that he was late.
Malachite was practically fanatical about punctuality.
It had been one of Zoicite's major sore points all the way through their
relationship.
Zoicite had always been late for things. It was a character flaw, but one
that they had all eventually managed to take in stride.
Thinking about Zoicite was depressing, so instead Nephrite returned to
thinking about their rather late Leader.
Giving up, Nephrite started the youma's training himself...
An hour and half later, just as he had dismissed the troops, Malachite walked
in looking frazzled.
Nephrite raised an eyebrow in surprise. Malachite usually looked immaculate,
never allowing himself to be seen without every hair in place, every wrinkle
out of his uniform.
Whatever this meant, Nephrite _had_ to hear it.
"Malachite?" He asked casually. "What happened to you? You missed training."
The older man sighed. "I woke Venus up." He said shortly.
Nephrite's eyes widened in surprise. "That was... either brave, or very,
very, stupid."
Malachite glared at the other man. "Do you think I don't know that?! She was
yelling, and throwing things at me!" He sat down on a chair. "I..." He stood
up again. "I need to go plan something. Excuse me." He marched off.
Nephrite shook his head in amazement. Well, THAT had certainly been weird.
Life was always interesting in the Negaverse.
*
Raye was tired, so very tired.
She didn't like how not long after Mina had gone, she had begun to have
horrific nightmares.
Nightmares about what had happened when the Shadow attacked Mars.
It was not even like she had been there at that time.
She had been at the Moon, her second-in-charge had been 'holding down the
fort' so to speak, at the time.
So why did she know what had happened?
Ugh, maybe she was just going crazy. It would explain a few things if she
was, anyway.
Blech, insanity, that was all she needed.
With exams coming up, and scout meetings all the time, even though the
Generals had done basically nothing since that farce of a fight weeks before.
Raye refused to believe that they were too weak to fight.
She remembered them far too well from the first time round they had all met.
No, they had to be planning something.
And if the others would not listed, something might have to be done.
But right now Raye did not care about he fate of her team.
Now, all she wanted, if she could have anything in the world, was a sleep
free of dreams.
And school was tomorrow, so...
Sleep...
*
Venus checked all of her ex-friends in her mirror. All of them were sleeping.
Well, as much as she disliked them, that seemed like a good idea.
She closed her eyes and drifted off.
****************************************************************************
Okay, filler chapter. I have had chapter 7 finished for about a year, it was
supposed to be six, but it didn't quite fit. So, I wrote this one for six (I
felt guilty about writing a summary chapter), and seven will be posted a
moment after this. Gods, I hope I still have readers.
