Hi! *Runs from the mass of produce thrown at her. * I am so sorry people
this was not supposed to happen. This was supposed to be out 2 weeks ago.
It was already done. All 7 pages in 10 fault. I WAS ONLY IN TOWN FOR A FEW
DAYS SO I DECIDED TO UPDATE. Well I did and saved it on my laptop. Well I
dropped the damn thing on the way out of the house. Anything that I had
saved was gone. So a lot of my reviews, e-mails, and that chapter were
gone. I hardly remember what I wrote, but I think it came out pretty well.
Disclaimer: I don't own a thing so pwwwwwwwwwht!
It was still dark outside, but the bird's continued to sing. No one was out on the sacred world that had not hosted mortals for awhile. But now there was a mortal girl in an immortals arms, riding with her 2 other companions.
Makoto was oblivious to everything around her as she snuggled into Nephrite's warm embrace. The man did not seem to mind as he stoked the top of her hair. Azure chose to ignore this display of affection by looking up ahead. Russet seemed to know where they were going which had shocked the two males. Makoto did not get it, because she knew the animal had chosen Nephrite as her master. But after a few hours she had unconsciously leaned into Nephrite and fell into the dream world.
Russet had stopped infront of the luscious forest that was now infront of him. Nephrite new this place all to well. It was his home. Beyond the forest there was a castle. Not that the human eye could see it. It was a magnificent site and nothing like the fairy tales. It was made of a certain stone that he knew all to well. Nephrite was what it was made of and he had marked it as his home.
"Ah! It has been a while." Azure said breaking the welcomed silence. Nephrite nodded to his awake companion. Now they would have to walk on foot. Russet would have trouble making it through the forest as it is and they would not be helping. Azure knew what Nephrite had in mind and took Makoto's bag and got down from the she-wolf. Nephrite jumped down rather gracefully. He held Makoto in his arms in hopes of giving her a little while longer to sleep.
"So Neph-chan!" Azure said in cherry voice. Nephrite rolled his eyes. He knew the ageless shape shifter had something up his sleeve. "Could you just, uh transport us to the castle?" Nephrite said and looked down at his feet for affect,
"No." Nephrites stern voice said as he started to walk. Azure frowned and ran to catch up. He could have sworn that one would work. He did see amusement to in she-beast eyes and had to convince himself that she was just that a beast that did not think. She acted upon pure instinct, right?
"But Nephrite it would be faster. Don't you miss the girls? You have been away for awhile you know." Azure said smiling ever so sweetly. Nephrite just turned his now cold gold tinted eyes toward him. Azure sighed in defeat. He knew that meat no and drop the subject. He groaned again. He knew he should have tried to sleep and not get so active after transforming back to him true form. He had gotten quite lazy when he was under Makoto's care. The girl loved to pamper him and he did not object. Not like he really could. Well not being on his two legs and in the heat of war against the demon trio had worn him out.
"You baka." Nephrite said as he looked down at Azure. He should have known this was too much for his small body to handle. He knew Azure was his most powerful alley, but this body had limited him. He had been forced to deal wit his family's curse at such a young age. He never got a chance to mature physically, before he became a doople ganger (The older and correct term for shape shifter.) But he did grow mental and managed to channel his true power in his multiple animal forms.
Azure just smiled up at Nephrite knowing he had given in. Nephrite had sworn to himself that he would never use his dark powers again. He had broken the promise, but did not use it at often as he used to. But he knew it could not be helped and he had to use the dark powers. He looked at Makoto in his arms and sighed. She was one of the main reasons he did not just give up and return to his 'brother's side'. Her and his other friends as well.
Russet stepped back when she saw the read and black lightning circling Nephrites hand. The wolf looked down at her chosen master with wide red eyes. Nephrite produced a glowing red orb from his hand. He had shifted Makoto and was now holding her under his other arm. The orb seemed to pulsing in his hand as it charged up. Nephrite felt Makoto starting to stir and tried to speed up the process. The orb let out a red light and Nephrite let out the breath he had been holding.
~~~~~~~~~Nephrite's castle (lol! Get it!)~~~~~~~~~
Makoto opened her eyes and saw she was standing in a foyer of a large house? Nephrite had laid her down on one of the couches and stood talking to a blue haired girl. Makoto could have sworn she had seen red before blacking out. She sat up and inspected the blue haired girl. She was shorter than Makoto and looked to be about the same age as her. She had sea blue eyes that matched her short hair. She was pale and dainty. She smiled at Nephrite and gave him a bear hug.
"Nephrite me and Rei-chan missed you so much. It has been about 20 years since we have seen you." The girl said as Makoto slowly got up from the couch. Nephrite just smiled down at her and chuckled. Makoto started to form her own ideas in her head. Did he just pick up all kinds of girls? How could these girls be over 20? Did he have a fetish for kissing all types of 6 year olds? Did he have a harem of women? Makoto growled under her breath. She was certainly not going to be apart of it.
Her growl had caught the attention of Nephrite. He smiled gently at her failing to see her frown. He walked over to her and held her in his arms. "This is Makoto Ami. Makoto this is Ami." Nephrite said and Ami held out her hand. Makoto looked at the smiling girl and finally accepted her hand. Ami noticed the strong grip in the girl had. She also noticed the muscles that her nightgown had failed to hide. She was beautiful and tall. Ami smiled at that. She did not even manage to meet his shoulder. She had emerald eyes. Ami's smile faltered at that. Zoicite had green eyes.
"Nephrite has told me so much about you Makoto-san" Ami said as she regained her frown. Makoto did not notice she had lost it, but Nephrite did. Makoto only smiled and let go of the girls' hand.
"Ami why don't you go and show Mako around. I will go find Rei." Nephrite said hopping she would accept. This young girl had managed to brighten up his life and he hoped she could warn Ami up. The blue haired girl had never been the same after they moved away from his 'brothers'. After she had moved away from Zoicite in general. Ami nodded and motioned for Makoto to follow her.
Nephrite let his mate go with her. They would have more time to be intimate later. Nephrite thought with a smile. This was one of the few times the demon king was truly happy since he had left his brothers side. He chose to enjoy these precious moments. He knew a war was coming and he had chosen his side. He would o against his 'brothers'.
~~~~~~Somewhere~~~~~~
Zoicite hissed as he remembered the battle he had not to long ago. He did not like losing. And that stupid wolf had gotten in his way. When he had returned to the house. Jadeite and Kunzite were already there and they were concerned. Zoicite had chosen to ignore them and went to his 'home'. He had been there for quite awhile sulking. He was to caught up in his own pride to notice the blond that had entered his room.
Minako looked at Zoicite. He did look cute pouting like that. Not that she had those kind of feeling for him. All her love was given to Kunzite. Which was why she was here now. Her love had asked her to check on Zoicite. Jadeite had said he needed a little femine company, besides himself. The blue eyed blond was always making fun of Zoicite.
"Now Zoicite, why are you here sulking?" Minako asked in a scolding tone. Zoicite looked up to see a beautiful blond. Her hair was long and flowing except for the strands that were contained by a red bow. She had bright blue eyes that were filled with compassion and mischief. She was 5'4 and was smiling at him. Her red dress glided on the floor as she made her way over to him. Zoicite muttered curses under his breath. He should have known she would be here sooner or later. She would always come and pester him. She was very annoying and he had no feelings that were good toward her. She continued to smile and it made his nerves boil. Why could she not just leave? "That is none of your concern." He said in a harsh tone in hopes that she would turn and leave. She did not.
"Oh touché!" Minako said in a sing song voice. This only managed to boil his nerves more. "Come on Zoicite we have known each other for so long. Why don't you tell me what's wrong. Don't you trust me?" Minako asked and pocked out her bottom lip. Zoicite found the site more annoying than amusing.
"Get out Minako now. Go tell Kunzite that it did not work. I do not need your help." Zoicite said and glared at her. Minako just laughed and Zoicite growled. Why did this blond enjoy pissing him off so much? It was very annoying and he needed some more time to get over his defeat.
"So Zoicite is having girl troubles. Miss Ami-chan?" Minako barely had a second to breathe, before Zoicite's hand was around her neck. Minako's cheery eyes now showed fear as she stared into Zoicite lime green eyes that were filed with rage. She was dangling in the air with her back against the wall.
"Don't you ever talk about her else I will not hesitate to cut you down. Is that clear Minako?" He asked in a shockingly calm voice. Minako only nodded, because she could not breathe properly. Zoicite let her drop to the ground and sat back in his chair and watched the blond leave.
Minako sat up and put on a confident face. She walked out of the room gathering her broken pride. When she was around the corner she broke down and sobbed. She wanted to make sure Zoicite could not see this. Not know she was terrified of him. But it was already too late, he knew.
~~~~~Rei's Room~~~~~
Nephrite had walked into Rei's room to see her curled up in a ball on the floor. She had always been like this since they had fled. Even though she said she would never return to him. She knew that the girl still felt love for Jadeite. She tried to fight her feelings, but they were still there.
"Hey Rei." Nephrite said and gained her attention. She jumped from the floor and looked at him. She hated when people found out she could not live without him. It made her feel weak. She hated feeling weak. Rei walked up to him and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey baka! It has been a while since I have seen your ugly face." Rei said jokingly. Nephrite decided to let her slide this once and play along.
"Me ugly? I beg to differ!" Nephrite said in a snobbish tone. Rei laughed he had his arms crossed and looked indifferent with his nose in the air. They had a brother and sister type of relationship. When Jadeite had taken her from her home to live with him and his 'brothers'. Nephrite had been the first to talk to her. Even before Ami and Minako did.
"So why are you back monster?" Rei asked. She had been dying to know where he had been all of these years. She had missed his companionship dearly. It was nice to talk to Ami, but she needed a male presence in the house.
"I brought you a friend." He said and Rei was shocked. She had heard that he had found love with a child, but did not believe it. That was just a rumor she had heard. She had not believed that Nephrite of all people would do such a thing. But he was not a person and he had done it.
"Well let's go meet this 'friend'." Rei said and dragged him out of the room by his arm. Nephrite smiled down at the raven-haired girl. She always was this energetic and he was glad to see her happy. He hoped that when they had to go against his 'brothers' that she could fight Jadeite. He had trained her for 10 years and hoped she could stand against her former lover.
~~~~~~~~~Garden~~~~~~~~~
Ami had lead Makoto out to the garden. It was Nephrites pride and joy. She and Rei had managed to sustain it while he was away. She giggled as Makoto looked at all the plants in all. She could tell that this girl's element was nature. It suited her and she was one with it.
Makoto loved the garden, but knew that she had to figure everything out. She hoped Ami could give her answers to fill the holes in her head. "Ami- san could you tell me about Nephrite and those things? I know you know something. Please tell me." Makoto pleaded with the girl. Ami only bowed her head. She knew Makoto would become curious with what was happening. She was hopping that Nephrite had explained it to her. It was obvious he had not and she knew she had to tell her something.
Ami led Makoto over to a bench and gestured to Makoto to take a seat. Makoto did and Ami lifted her face. The girls' shy and meek demeanor had disappeared only to be replaced by a passive expression. "Makoto I am not who you think I am. I am not human. I once was until one day that changed my life forever." Ami said and went back to the times that she missed and hated so much.
~~~~Flashback~~~~
Mitzuno, Ami was a very talented girl. She was one of the first girls to go to school. Few girls could handle it, but this girl proved different. She excelled in everything and was admired by most people. The ones that did not admire her were the children her age. She was 15 years old and had no friends. People thought of her as stuck up and rude. Ami was neither, but no one tried to befriend her. After a while she gave up on having any friends and devoted her life to her studies.
She was on her way to school one day when she saw the most beautiful thing. It was a man, but he was different from the others. His lime eyes attracted her, as did his smile. He was tall and had long blond locks that were styled into a ponytail. He was a shade darker than she was and his skin seemed to glow. The man caught her staring and walked up to her.
Ami tried to move back but found herself in a trance. She knew she was attracted to this man. He smiled at her, but it was not gentle more taunting. Ami knew she had to get away. She was late for class and knew she would get a lecture. The man grabbed her wrist and her books fell. She took no notice in it as his face drew closer to hers. He pulled her closer by the wrist till they were nose to nose.
"Zoicite." Was all he said, before his lips devoured hers? He held her in place by the wrist. She could not get away even if she had wanted to. She returned the kiss to the best of her ability. She knew nothing of such intimate contact. It was new to her and she liked it. So much things that could be said through such simple contact.
She continued to see Zoicite. And when she turned 16 he had taken her away from her home and to the castle. That is where she met Minako. She liked the girl, but always felt something evil lurking in the depths of her eyes. It did not help that her love Kunzite was so drawn back. She had first met him they had expressed there dislike for one another. Zoicite rarely let her go out of his room. He always advised her to stay away from Minako. But the blond had always found a way to get to her.
After the first 5 years of living there she noticed that she had not aged at all. It was then that she knew something was wrong from then on. A few weeks later she had seen Zoicite transform and it had shocked her to the core. She never talked to it and never looked at Zoicite the same. It was then when she learned of their plans. To overcome the world and return it to its original darkness like the others before them had tried. They were demons and she was now a mate of one.
But she had found a small light of hope when Jadeite brought in Rei. Nephrite was the first to talk to the purple-eyed girl. That had shocked her, because he always kept to himself. That was the day when she really noticed he had changed. He was not really into controlling the world like he used to be. He did not hang out with his brothers as much. And he had come to her and asked her about Zoicite. She had broke down and told him about everything she saw. It was too much for the girl to hold in and she had to let it our. She knew that Nephrite had to be like them, but it did not frighten her. It was then when he asked for her help. To leave this damned castle and fight for the world. She was a little hesitant at first, but agreed in the end.
That was how she and Rei became friends. Ami wanted to go to Minako and tell her their plans, but Nephrite forbade it. Minako had been by Kunzite's side for many years and she would not leave him. He told them he would leave for awhile, but on the third full moon he would return for them.
They had waited eagerly from that night. Ami more than Rei. Zoicite had figured she knew about his form and was pressuring her to produce an offspring. She loved the Zoicite he used to be not the one that was here now. She chose to ignore him and it irritated him. Ami was not sure she could hold out much longer when the third moon came.
Her and Rei headed out of the castle while the 'brothers' were pondering where Nephrite was. Ami ran down the maze like hallways to Rei's room. In order tot do that she had to pass Minako and Kunzite's room. She walked across and turned the corner. She did not notice the intense blue eyes staring after her. She knocked on Rei's door to see she was ready and hastily grabbed her wrist. They were out the door when they heard yells of rage. Ami panicked. How could they know? But she quickly ran on into the fog. She saw Nephrite's red pulsing aura and embraced him. He quickly transported them. After that all Ami could remember was wings batting and green eyes in the fog.
From then on they fought and studied ways from stopping this time come. Ami had found something that could help, but it described a group of 4. The only 4 she knew were the 'brothers' and she knew it was wrong. But she did not lose hope and continued to study. Then when Nephrite left yet again she knew their time was running out. The time of truth was coming, but would they be ready.
~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~
Ami was down to tears at the end and Makoto confronted her. She almost broke down hearing the girl's tale. Now all she could do was console her. She felt bad for thinking such things about Nephrite. He was only trying to help her and all she could do was scorn him. She felt a small amount of guilt.
"Ami-chan!" A girl with long raven hair called out. She quickly ran over to the crying blue haired girl. She took her out of Makoto's arms, which made the brunette frown, but Nephrite held her shoulder. She looked up at him to see him shaking his head. She understood what he meant. These girls were friends and could find comfort in each other's pain. She figured this girl was Rei from Ami's story. Makoto slowly stood and moved away from the girls. They did not seem to notice as Rei let out her tears of pain.
Nephrite lead Makoto away. Even though he felt his 'sisters' pain he was happy with his newfound love. He held her around the waist as they moved out of the room. He buried his head in the base of her neck and sighed. She smelt so much like nature. He was surprised she had no magical abilities. She was perfect in every way for him. He would survive the war so he could return to her arms.
Makoto giggled slightly. Nephrite had continued to breathe on her neck and she found it was tickling her. He seemed to notice and came out of his reviver and smiled. He decided to un-wrap his arms from her waist and tickle her. Makoto squealed and pulled away only to have him grab her from behind.
When she turned to face him she saw his eyes darken. She had remembered what happened last time and it scared and excited her at the same time. He slowly turned her whole body to face him. She was now in between him and the wall. Her pulse quickened and her breath came faster. Nephrite slowly lowered his head. She tipped her head up and he covered her lips. Makoto moaned softly and melted into his arms. Nephrite wrapped his arms around her waist tighter sensing she might fall. The brunette did not seem to notice as she buried her hands into his long tresses. Nephrite purred as she massaged his scalp with her long fingers.
Makoto smiled into the kiss lazily. She had never felt this way with any one else. And she loved every minute of it. Nephrite continued his advances by lowering his hand to the small of her back and pulling her into his embrace. Makoto leaned in closer till her chest was pressed against his chest. This felt so right and the brunette could not deny she wanted more.
That was when Makoto pulled away. She did want more and it scared her. Here was this powerful demon fighting for the fate of the world. And all she could do was wish for a kissing session? Nephrite looked into her eyes and saw confession. He had seen the passion he had ignited when he had kissed her now there was fear. He tried to reach out and touch her face, but she pulled back.
"No I can't do this." Makoto whispered out in a confused tone. Nephrite just watched her as she turned and rushed away. He smiled after a while. She was coming into touch with such strange emotions. What did you suspect? It would be hard for her to adapt, but he would not make it easier.
"My Mako you will be in my arms by the next full moon. Next time I wont be so lenient." Nephrite said and chuckled. It would be very fun to tempt her. He knew he should be thinking of the war, but this was much more fun. "Watch out!"

It was still dark outside, but the bird's continued to sing. No one was out on the sacred world that had not hosted mortals for awhile. But now there was a mortal girl in an immortals arms, riding with her 2 other companions.
Makoto was oblivious to everything around her as she snuggled into Nephrite's warm embrace. The man did not seem to mind as he stoked the top of her hair. Azure chose to ignore this display of affection by looking up ahead. Russet seemed to know where they were going which had shocked the two males. Makoto did not get it, because she knew the animal had chosen Nephrite as her master. But after a few hours she had unconsciously leaned into Nephrite and fell into the dream world.
Russet had stopped infront of the luscious forest that was now infront of him. Nephrite new this place all to well. It was his home. Beyond the forest there was a castle. Not that the human eye could see it. It was a magnificent site and nothing like the fairy tales. It was made of a certain stone that he knew all to well. Nephrite was what it was made of and he had marked it as his home.
"Ah! It has been a while." Azure said breaking the welcomed silence. Nephrite nodded to his awake companion. Now they would have to walk on foot. Russet would have trouble making it through the forest as it is and they would not be helping. Azure knew what Nephrite had in mind and took Makoto's bag and got down from the she-wolf. Nephrite jumped down rather gracefully. He held Makoto in his arms in hopes of giving her a little while longer to sleep.
"So Neph-chan!" Azure said in cherry voice. Nephrite rolled his eyes. He knew the ageless shape shifter had something up his sleeve. "Could you just, uh transport us to the castle?" Nephrite said and looked down at his feet for affect,
"No." Nephrites stern voice said as he started to walk. Azure frowned and ran to catch up. He could have sworn that one would work. He did see amusement to in she-beast eyes and had to convince himself that she was just that a beast that did not think. She acted upon pure instinct, right?
"But Nephrite it would be faster. Don't you miss the girls? You have been away for awhile you know." Azure said smiling ever so sweetly. Nephrite just turned his now cold gold tinted eyes toward him. Azure sighed in defeat. He knew that meat no and drop the subject. He groaned again. He knew he should have tried to sleep and not get so active after transforming back to him true form. He had gotten quite lazy when he was under Makoto's care. The girl loved to pamper him and he did not object. Not like he really could.

He had been forced to deal wit his family's curse at such a young age. He never got a chance to mature physically, before he became a doople ganger (The older and correct term for shape shifter.) But he did grow mental and managed to channel his true power in his multiple animal forms.
Azure just smiled up at Nephrite knowing he had given in. Nephrite had sworn to himself that he would never use his dark powers again. He had broken the promise, but did not use it at often as he used to. But he knew it could not be helped and he had to use the dark powers. He looked at Makoto in his arms and sighed. She was one of the main reasons he did not just give up and return to his 'brother's side'. Her and his other friends as well.
Russet stepped back when she saw the read and black lightning circling Nephrites hand. The wolf looked down at her chosen master with wide red eyes. Nephrite produced a glowing red orb from his hand.

~~~~~~~~~Nephrite's castle (lol! Get it!)~~~~~~~~~

She would always come and pester him. She was very annoying and he had no feelings that were good toward her. She continued to smile and it made his nerves boil. Why could she not just leave? "That is none of your concern." He said in a harsh tone in hopes that she would turn and leave. She did not.
"Oh touché!" Minako said in a sing song voice. This only managed to boil his nerves more. "Come on Zoicite we have known each other for so long. Why don't you tell me what's wrong. Don't you trust me?" Minako asked and pocked out her bottom lip. Zoicite found the site more annoying than amusing.
"Get out Minako now. Go tell Kunzite that it did not work. I do not need your help." Zoicite said and glared at her. Minako just laughed and Zoicite growled. Why did this blond enjoy pissing him off so much? It was very annoying and he needed some more time to get over his defeat.
"So Zoicite is having girl troubles. Miss Ami-chan?" Minako barely had a second to breathe, before Zoicite's hand was around her neck.

~~~~~Rei's Room~~~~~
Nephrite had walked into Rei's room to see her curled up in a ball on the floor. She had always been like this since they had fled. Even though she said she would never return to him. She knew that the girl still felt love for Jadeite. She tried to fight her feelings, but they were still there.
"Hey Rei." Nephrite said and gained her attention. She jumped from the floor and looked at him. She hated when people found out she could not live without him. It made her feel weak. She hated feeling weak. Rei walked up to him and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey baka! It has been a while since I have seen your ugly face." Rei said jokingly. Nephrite decided to let her slide this once and play along.
"Me ugly? I beg to differ!" Nephrite said in a snobbish tone. Rei laughed he had his arms crossed and looked indifferent with his nose in the air. They had a brother and sister type of relationship. When Jadeite had taken her from her home to live with him and his 'brothers'. Nephrite had been the first to talk to her. Even before Ami and Minako did.
"So why are you back monster?" Rei asked. She had been dying to know where he had been all of these years. She had missed his companionship dearly. It was nice to talk to Ami, but she needed a male presence in the house.
"I brought you a friend." He said and Rei was shocked. She had heard that he had found love with a child, but did not believe it. That was just a rumor she had heard. She had not believed that Nephrite of all people would do such a thing. But he was not a person and he had done it.
"Well let's go meet this 'friend'." Rei said and dragged him out of the room by his arm. Nephrite smiled down at the raven-haired girl. She always was this energetic and he was glad to see her happy. He hoped that when they had to go against his 'brothers' that she could fight Jadeite. He had trained her for 10 years and hoped she could stand against her former lover.
~~~~~~~~~Garden~~~~~~~~~
Ami had lead Makoto out to the garden. It was Nephrites pride and joy. She and Rei had managed to sustain it while he was away. She giggled as Makoto looked at all the plants in all. She could tell that this girl's element was nature. It suited her and she was one with it.
Makoto loved the garden, but knew that she had to figure everything out. She hoped Ami could give her answers to fill the holes in her head. "Ami- san could you tell me about Nephrite and those things? I know you know something. Please tell me." Makoto pleaded with the girl. Ami only bowed her head. She knew Makoto would become curious with what was happening. She was hopping that Nephrite had explained it to her. It was obvious he had not and she knew she had to tell her something.
Ami led Makoto over to a bench and gestured to Makoto to take a seat. Makoto did and Ami lifted her face. The girls' shy and meek demeanor had disappeared only to be replaced by a passive expression. "Makoto I am not who you think I am. I am not human. I once was until one day that changed my life forever." Ami said and went back to the times that she missed and hated so much.
~~~~Flashback~~~~
Mitzuno, Ami was a very talented girl. She was one of the first girls to go to school. Few girls could handle it, but this girl proved different. She excelled in everything and was admired by most people. The ones that did not admire her were the children her age. She was 15 years old and had no friends. People thought of her as stuck up and rude. Ami was neither, but no one tried to befriend her. After a while she gave up on having any friends and devoted her life to her studies.
She was on her way to school one day when she saw the most beautiful thing. It was a man, but he was different from the others. His lime eyes attracted her, as did his smile. He was tall and had long blond locks that were styled into a ponytail. He was a shade darker than she was and his skin seemed to glow. The man caught her staring and walked up to her.
Ami tried to move back but found herself in a trance. She knew she was attracted to this man. He smiled at her, but it was not gentle more taunting. Ami knew she had to get away. She was late for class and knew she would get a lecture. The man grabbed her wrist and her books fell. She took no notice in it as his face drew closer to hers. He pulled her closer by the wrist till they were nose to nose.
"Zoicite." Was all he said, before his lips devoured hers? He held her in place by the wrist. She could not get away even if she had wanted to. She returned the kiss to the best of her ability. She knew nothing of such intimate contact. It was new to her and she liked it. So much things that could be said through such simple contact.
She continued to see Zoicite. And when she turned 16 he had taken her away from her home and to the castle. That is where she met Minako. She liked the girl, but always felt something evil lurking in the depths of her eyes. It did not help that her love Kunzite was so drawn back. She had first met him they had expressed there dislike for one another. Zoicite rarely let her go out of his room. He always advised her to stay away from Minako. But the blond had always found a way to get to her.
After the first 5 years of living there she noticed that she had not aged at all. It was then that she knew something was wrong from then on. A few weeks later she had seen Zoicite transform and it had shocked her to the core. She never talked to it and never looked at Zoicite the same. It was then when she learned of their plans. To overcome the world and return it to its original darkness like the others before them had tried. They were demons and she was now a mate of one.
But she had found a small light of hope when Jadeite brought in Rei. Nephrite was the first to talk to the purple-eyed girl. That had shocked her, because he always kept to himself. That was the day when she really noticed he had changed. He was not really into controlling the world like he used to be. He did not hang out with his brothers as much. And he had come to her and asked her about Zoicite. She had broke down and told him about everything she saw. It was too much for the girl to hold in and she had to let it our. She knew that Nephrite had to be like them, but it did not frighten her. It was then when he asked for her help. To leave this damned castle and fight for the world. She was a little hesitant at first, but agreed in the end.
That was how she and Rei became friends. Ami wanted to go to Minako and tell her their plans, but Nephrite forbade it. Minako had been by Kunzite's side for many years and she would not leave him. He told them he would leave for awhile, but on the third full moon he would return for them.
They had waited eagerly from that night. Ami more than Rei. Zoicite had figured she knew about his form and was pressuring her to produce an offspring. She loved the Zoicite he used to be not the one that was here now. She chose to ignore him and it irritated him. Ami was not sure she could hold out much longer when the third moon came.
Her and Rei headed out of the castle while the 'brothers' were pondering where Nephrite was. Ami ran down the maze like hallways to Rei's room. In order tot do that she had to pass Minako and Kunzite's room. She walked across and turned the corner. She did not notice the intense blue eyes staring after her. She knocked on Rei's door to see she was ready and hastily grabbed her wrist. They were out the door when they heard yells of rage. Ami panicked. How could they know? But she quickly ran on into the fog. She saw Nephrite's red pulsing aura and embraced him. He quickly transported them. After that all Ami could remember was wings batting and green eyes in the fog.
From then on they fought and studied ways from stopping this time come. Ami had found something that could help, but it described a group of 4. The only 4 she knew were the 'brothers' and she knew it was wrong. But she did not lose hope and continued to study. Then when Nephrite left yet again she knew their time was running out. The time of truth was coming, but would they be ready.
~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~
Ami was down to tears at the end and Makoto confronted her. She almost broke down hearing the girl's tale. Now all she could do was console her. She felt bad for thinking such things about Nephrite. He was only trying to help her and all she could do was scorn him. She felt a small amount of guilt.
"Ami-chan!" A girl with long raven hair called out. She quickly ran over to the crying blue haired girl. She took her out of Makoto's arms, which made the brunette frown, but Nephrite held her shoulder. She looked up at him to see him shaking his head. She understood what he meant. These girls were friends and could find comfort in each other's pain. She figured this girl was Rei from Ami's story. Makoto slowly stood and moved away from the girls. They did not seem to notice as Rei let out her tears of pain.
Nephrite lead Makoto away. Even though he felt his 'sisters' pain he was happy with his newfound love. He held her around the waist as they moved out of the room. He buried his head in the base of her neck and sighed. She smelt so much like nature. He was surprised she had no magical abilities. She was perfect in every way for him. He would survive the war so he could return to her arms.
Makoto giggled slightly. Nephrite had continued to breathe on her neck and she found it was tickling her. He seemed to notice and came out of his reviver and smiled. He decided to un-wrap his arms from her waist and tickle her. Makoto squealed and pulled away only to have him grab her from behind.
When she turned to face him she saw his eyes darken. She had remembered what happened last time and it scared and excited her at the same time. He slowly turned her whole body to face him. She was now in between him and the wall. Her pulse quickened and her breath came faster. Nephrite slowly lowered his head. She tipped her head up and he covered her lips. Makoto moaned softly and melted into his arms. Nephrite wrapped his arms around her waist tighter sensing she might fall. The brunette did not seem to notice as she buried her hands into his long tresses. Nephrite purred as she massaged his scalp with her long fingers.
Makoto smiled into the kiss lazily. She had never felt this way with any one else. And she loved every minute of it. Nephrite continued his advances by lowering his hand to the small of her back and pulling her into his embrace. Makoto leaned in closer till her chest was pressed against his chest. This felt so right and the brunette could not deny she wanted more.
That was when Makoto pulled away. She did want more and it scared her. Here was this powerful demon fighting for the fate of the world. And all she could do was wish for a kissing session? Nephrite looked into her eyes and saw confession. He had seen the passion he had ignited when he had kissed her now there was fear. He tried to reach out and touch her face, but she pulled back.
"No I can't do this." Makoto whispered out in a confused tone. Nephrite just watched her as she turned and rushed away. He smiled after a while. She was coming into touch with such strange emotions. What did you suspect? It would be hard for her to adapt, but he would not make it easier.
"My Mako you will be in my arms by the next full moon. Next time I wont be so lenient." Nephrite said and chuckled. It would be very fun to tempt her. He knew he should be thinking of the war, but this was much more fun. "Watch out!"
