Well, here we are again. I know I said this would be a couple of days at the most, but I kinda got
swamped at school, and in between that and trying to get everything in FFX,
there has been very little time for writing. (I know, I need to straighten
my priorities) But here we are!
A Chance Meeting.....
Zoicite looked out across the Tokyo skyline from his apartment balcony,
thinking over what had happened just a few hours earlier. He had spent the
morning just talking with Ami. He was amazed that he could speak so freely
with her. He could actually converse with her, Kunzite would usually just nod
and conjure a rose whenever Zoicite tried to really talk with him. There
were times when he thought that all Kunzite cared about was sex. He sighed and
went back inside. He picked up the paper sitting on his kitchen table and flipped
to the classifieds. He hadn't lied when he said he was going to get a job, although
he really didn't need the money, it was more for his peace of mind. It was just too
infuriating having nothing to do all day.
He found nothing that looked interesting, so he flopped down on his couch
and grabbed a random book from the stack on the floor. It was a manga, a Sailor V
manga to be specific. He frowned as he looked at the cover, which depicted an odd
girl that looked like a cross between Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus, and wearing a
Tuxedo Mask style set of specs. 'Why did I pick this up? I probably just grabbed it
by accident at one of the newstands around Tokyo. He opened it and flipped through
the pages. His frown deepened as he looked at the book which revealed a very familiar
world. The gemstone themed villains had absurdly ridiculous plans, which were always
foiled by the title character, Sailor V. A small sweatdrop appeared over his head as he
realized that he had tried many of these ridiculous plans himself, when he was in the Dark
Kingdom's service. 'I guess they are kinda stupid from an outsider's point of view.'
He got up and headed for the bathroom, he felt a need to wash himself after reading that
absurd parody of his life.
.......
Ami was at the Hikawa shrine with the rest of the senshi that afternoon. Rei was
kneeling in front of the Great Fire, trying to get a prediction of the Dark Kingdom's next
move. She was absentmindedly going over Usagi's homework. Her pencil was flying across the
paper as she was pointing out the mistakes. Usagi was absorbed in the Sailor V manga and didn't
seem to notice. Minako was leering over Usagi's shoulder, trying to see how much of the latest
chronicle of her London adventures was true. Makoto was lying on the floor daydreaming about her
old sempai. Finally Rei turned back torwards the others and said, "Nothing. I'm not getting any
reading. I guess it's going to be quiet for a while." All four other girls sighed with relief
simultaneously. As they all started to file out of the shrine, Rei grabbed Ami by the sleeve
and pulled her aside. "So...Who's your new man Ami?"
Ami blushed and stammered,"I-I don't know-"
"You can stop yammering Ami. I heard Mina and Mako talking earlier today."
"You-You heard?"
"Yeah, so spill. Who is it?"
"Well, promise not to freak out, all right?"
"Yeah sure, just tell me!"
"It's...uh...."
"Yeah...?"
"......"
"Ami!"
"....Zoicite."
"WHAAAAT?!!?"
"um...it's Zoicite."
"ZOICITE!? *The* Zoicite?!"
"You said you wouldn't overeact!"
"I'M NOT OVEREACTING! YOU'RE DATING OUR SWORN ENEMY!!"
"Rei....It's not like that. Zoicite is different now...he's changed."
Veins were now popping up all over Rei's head. A low growl could be heard
escaping her lips. Ami started to back away and that "cornered animal" look got
in her eyes. "For your sake, you better hope so. I'm gonna keep track of him."
Ami took off down the street like a bat out of Hell and headed immediately to Zoicite's
apartment. He had written the address on a scrap of paper, and told her to drop by anytime.
She could still hear Rei screaming as she turned the corner. She was afraid to look back
or slow down and so she ran straight all the way there.
.......
And so we have 9. Well, Faithful Reader, I will hopefully have more writing time
so expect a new chap soon (I know, I say that a lot.) Sorry, this is kinda short but I am tapped
out for now.
