Oooookay....... I get the feeling you guys did NOT dig the last chapter
too much. But that's okay, everyone is entitled to an opinion. At least
you guys didn't say it was horrible. "Okay" is the best response I got.
But that's okay... *urge to kill fading....fading....RISING!!!....fading
....fading...gone....* BTW: Sorry this took so long. I was obsessing on making this
really good. As to whether it IS or not, that's up to you. Sooo on to the next Chapter!
A chance meeting....
Around midnight that night, Zoicite and Ami stumbled into the former's
apartment. Both were laughing incessantly and collapsed on the couch. "You
really shouldn't have done that to that poor waiter Zoicite!" Zoicite stifled
a giggle and calmly explained, "He got the order wrong, back in the Dark Kingdom
that was a crime punishable by death." Ami couldn't help but grin, "Still, you
shouldn't have doused that wine all over his head! He was just doing his job."
Zoicite kissed her lightly on the cheek, "A job done very poorly. He got off easy."
Ami giggled and covered his mouth with hers. Zoicite pulled her closer and let
her have her way. They stayed in this position for several moments before breaking
apart Ami stifled a yawn and laid her head on his lap, Zoicite ran his fingers through
her hair until Ami's breathing pattern slowed and he could tell she was sleeping.
He lifted her into his arms and carried her into his bedroom. He set her down gently
and pulled the sheets up over her.
He looked over her sleeping form one last time before heading back to his living
room and settling down on the couch. He was just starting to drift off to sleep himself
when he felt a familiar power enter the apartment. There was a sudden flash of
blue and a shower of sparks. Zoicite jumped up and his face was frozen in shock. The
intruder threw his cape back and gave him a loving gaze. "Zoicite....I thought I had lost
you...." The taller man picked the copper-haired ex-king up in a bear hug. "I missed you
so much! How could you leave me?"
"Kunzite....? What are you doing here?"
"I found your power signal while I was scanning for disturbances, what are you doing
here?"
"Kunzite...I... I've moved on. You saw what happened with Beryl, I can never return to
the Dark Kingdom, and I can never return to you, Kunzite. Not while you're in that woman's
service...."
"Zoicite..."
"That's enough my love, you can't leave the Dark Kingdom, Beryl would kill you, and kill
me when she finds out I'm still alive. So for your own good...please leave..."
"Zoicite, what can possibly be here for you? We can talk to Beryl! I know we can convince
her to let you return!" Zoicite sighed and gave a quick glance over to his bedroom, where Ami
lay sleeping. Kunzite caught his glance and also looked over at the room. He caught wind of a
familiar aura coming from the room, 'Wait that's-' "Zoicite, what is Sailor Mercury doing in your
apartment?"
"Kunzite.... Ami-I mean Sailor Mercury is my link to this world, she's showing me how to
live here."
"You aren't telling me the whole story, we've known each other for centuries Zoicite, I know
when you're hiding the truth. Well, let's just see what's so special about this girl." With that
the silver king walked into the room and was closely followed by the younger man. Kunzite pulled
the sheets from Ami's sleeping form. He gazed upon her with a mixture of hate and curiosity. He put
his hand on her forehead and began to scan her thoughts and memories. Ami's eyes snapped open as she
felt the negative energy entering her. She looked up into the cold eyes of Kunzite, whose expression
was rapidly becoming more distraught and angry as he scanned her mind.
Kunzite removed his hand from her forehead, his eyes were now glowing with power and hate. He
raised his palm as a blue ball of energy aimed at Ami's face grew there. Zoicite's eyes widened with fear
and he fought years of emotion as he struck Kunzite from the side with a point blank blast of pink energy.
Kunzite flew across the room and smacked into the wall. He fell to his knees and coughed up globs of green
blood. "pant pant Zoicite...are you in love with this-this human!?"
Zoicite glanced at Ami who was still frozen in shock. He gave her a warm smile and she seemed to
soften a little. "I suppose I am." Kunzite staggered to his feet and glared at them both. He growled deep in
his throat. "Zoicite, are you telling me that our time together, centuries of being partners, meant nothing?!"
"Kunzite...no, I did love you, and in a way, I guess I still do and probably always will. You will always
have a place in my heart Kunzite, but we belong to different worlds now, literally!"
"Zoicite, I -"
"Kunzite, that's enough. If you ever felt anything at all for me, please leave now." The silver-haired king
gave Zoicite a tearful gaze, twirled his cape, and teleported out of the apartment in a blaze of blue fire.
Zoicite stared at the spot where his lover was only seconds ago. As much as he tried to keep them bottled inside, they
came anyway. He fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face. Ami walked over and sat beside him, wrapping her arms
around his slender waist and letting him find comfort in her. After a few moments she pulled him to his feet and led him
to the bed. She stripped him down to his boxers and layed him down gently. She slid in beside him and rested her head
on his chest. His sobs slowed and his breathing became more tranquil. He pulled Ami closer to him, nuzzling her neck.
And for awhile, none of it mattered, the Dark Kingdom, the Sailor Senshi, Kunzite, none of it mattered for that
night.

Else where, Usagi Tsukino sat staring at a photograph of a lost love. She sighs dejectedly and crawls into bed,
knowing she'll never wake up on time the next morning. Across town, Makoto was laying awake
in her bed. Thinking thoughts she would never allow herself to think in the daylight. At the Hikawa shrine, Rei and Yuuichiro
lay contentedly in a tangle of naked limbs. And in her home, Minako was wondering dreamily if Zoicite and Ami had done anything
that night.

Well, there you go. Ch 12 is finished! I hope you enjoyed it, and I will hopefully see you all again real soon!
