For the perfect gentleman such as General Kunzite, it was quite
a surprise just how he couldn't help but remember everything about a woman;
it certainly wasn't like him to fall for a woman so suddenly.
Although, she was certainly different From the way she talks, to the way her nose wrinkles whenever she laughs
Yes, everything about her from head to toe exudes femininity
He couldn't help but feel that he's found his ideal woman in her, extremely feminine in every way, although he honestly didn't plan to pursue her, maybe not yet, or maybe not at all.
I have no time for such romance crap Kunzite thought.
This statement snapped him back into business as a general once again. Kunzite remembered that he had to erase the woman in his mind and brought his mind, instead, to his discussion with the head senshi, Venus, and thought to himself how amazed he was at her capabilities.
True, she could be very, very vivacious, and silly oftentimes, if not all the time, though she still did focus her attention to their discussion and he couldn't help but feel reassured with the way she handled important matters. Princess Venus definitely had leadership qualities even as she put humor in almost any kind of discussion. He was even more surprised as the Princess herself offered to accompany him to Earth, if in case the need to came to mind. A little cheerful company will sure help.
"Hey, man! Into deep thinking again?" it was Nephrite who suddenly entered the room followed closely by Jadeite who seemed to have his usual bored look painted on his face.
"I bet you're thinking about that hot Luna chick again, aren't you, huh? Huh?" Nephrite taunted Kunzite, his face breaking into his mocking face again. While Kunzite's cheeks somehow tinted with pink, Jadeite uncaringly dropped and stretched on the couch.
"Actually, I was just thinking about my recent discussion with the Princess of Venus, regarding -"
"Aha!" Nephrite suddenly shouted, making Jadeite and Kunzite jump up.
"So, it is the Princess Venus who you're going for after all! A fine choice, comrade! I mean, she's cute and very lively, you sure could use some of her sprightly character to light up that extremely boring personality of yours!"
Kunzite just raised an eyebrow, looking a bit amused though.
"Yeah, and that black eye of yours is the black and blue light you've been receiving from Princess Jupiter." Nephrite's mocking face suddenly turned a bit dark at Jadeite's unsympathetic quip.
"At least I have the nerve to talk to her, unlike your so called progress with the ice queen, Princess Mars, although I must say, that woman's a beauty too"
"Too much of a nerve, I must say"
Suddenly, both men stood up exchanging angry sparks.
"You both can stop now."
Kunzite's calm yet commanding voice stopped the two at their tracks.
"You both have to have your soldiers report to you soon, and I don't want any more bickering if you both know what's good for you, am I clear?"
The two generals nodded quietly and Kunzite started to get up to leave the room.
Before Kunzite stepped out of the room though,
"Oh, and Nephrite, I think you better nurse that black eye of yours. It doesn't exactly speak masculinity."
Nephrite noted the amused look on Kunzite's face before closing the door behind him.

Jadeite recalled Nephrite's
reply to him regarding the 'ice queen' and honestly felt disgusted at the
thought of him chasing after her, royalty or not, or any other woman at
that. He wasn't one who'd gratefully accept a loss for he was used to getting
whatever he wanted and quite frankly, he wasn't used to chasing after women;
he was used to being the one chased by the girls and women alike. And all
women were alike anyway. Restless giggling, endless gossip and nonsensical
crap were what always came out of their mouths. True, Mars was the only
woman he'd ever saw with such piercing beauty that could turn him inside
out, if he ever wanted to, but at the moment though, he really didn't care
to try. He, like the other generals, was always too preoccupied with other
'more important matters' to try to have relationships.
This is why he had no intentions whatsoever to ever change the condescending Princess Mars' mind; even if his eyes feasted at the mere sight of her and her passionate beauty, and that the feel of her soft hands on his shoulder and hands when they danced made his insides squirm. Even when he looked into her intense expressive eyes and when he felt the slender curve of her waist, Jadeite thought he couldn't quite care less. Though he had to admit that he somehow felt a bit of a stirring inside of him. He dismissed this feeling and remained numb; he truly enjoyed being indifferent.
The general stopped short as he saw the object of his mind quietly sipping tea and reading the latest information scroll. He could see from afar the fiery Princess of Mars tossing her sleek long hair over her slender shoulders. The general had to admit though that the woman he danced with was beautiful and he couldn't help but notice her eyes most of all, piercing and melting at the same time.
"General, if you'll just stand there and stare at me, I think it would be best if you do it some other time, perhaps when I'm unconscious or something." The ice queen spoke up and Jadeite was surprised to have just learned that he was discovered, although he stepped out of the pillar and approached the princess.
"Hiding behind the pillar won't do you much good either, general." The cold look of the princess didn't affect the indifferent general.
"Good afternoon to you too, Princess." Jadeite bowed although there was an uninterested look on his face.
"Although I must say, there are other better ways for me to waste my time on," Jadeite continued on even after seeing Rei's eyes narrowing.
"And so I'm pretty sure hiding behind a pillar to stare at you wouldn't be one of them." Jadeite continued his insult with an emotionless face. The "ice queen" seemed unaffected by his insult and decided to turn it against him instead.
"I wonder if all the other generals had the same egotistical manners such as yours, General Jadeite I certainly hope not." She turned her attention to the scroll and Jadeite could see her piercing eyes scanning the parchment.
The smart-mouthed general had actually no comeback for this kind of retort, and it was the first time he was actually shut up by anyone, and a woman at that.
"So, is there any reason at all, why you were standing there, general?"
Jadeite shrugged instead and replied,
"As a matter of fact, I was about to leave, but I had to have respect since you seemed to be so interested to talk to me, princess."
This seemed to be a battle of wits for both parties as it was Rei's turn to have difficulty thinking of a nasty retort. She instead raised an eyebrow and looked up at the stone cold general, replying,
"Are you sure about that, general?"
"I must apologize though, princess, for I have other more important matters to take on," the general replied,
"Such as maybe flossing?" Jadeite continued. He left the room,
leaving the Princess Mars furiously looking after him. It infuriated her
more as she saw his pleased face before he left the room.

The sweetest general
of the four was general Zoicite, which was why he was surrounded with girls
wherever he went. It was no surprise that he was the one the handmaids in
the castle would chase. His melting words and poetic mind could sweet-talk
anyone into anything, and General Zoicite would usually use this skill of
his to his advantage. Even his comrades, who know his sweet tongue very
well, are still not immune to being victims of his talented talk. Kunzite
was an exception, of course, he knew him too well.
"Ladies, ladies"
Princess Ami could hear the struggling general trying to make way from the
giggling handmaids who have surrounded him.
"I shall attend to your beauties after I do my report. But I promise
you I shall be back and -"
General Zoisite stopped as soon as he saw Ami's wide eyes gazing at him.
He immediately disengaged himself from all the women clutching at his arms.
Ami was surprised to have his eyes on her once again and she blushed at
the sight of him with all of the women. Zoisite could see the light blush
on the princess' face and felt his heart jump once again. He was surprised
though as he suddenly saw the blushing princess turn around and run.
