Chapter 1
Oh my god. She's still alive! I bet that's what most of you guys are thinking! Yep. Aer_seph4eva is alive and well and I am in such a FANTASTIC mood! I found out that my favourite Sailor moon character shares the same birthday as me. Kou Yaten! She's a Aquarius, and was born on the 8th February! Now that I think about it, I think that I do share some of Yaten's downright cynical and temperamental personality. If only my hair was silver...
Ahem.... anyway.... on with the fic.
Oh one last question. Does anyone know the other star signs for Seiya and Taiki? I have to believe that Seiya is gonna be a fire or very passionate Air sign, and Taiki a water or Air. If you do, can you write it in the review box or email me. I would very much appreciate it!

Chapter 1- The Beginning
'8:45am'
It was just like any other day in Juuban, the sun was shining brightly, the birds were chirping with excitement as the start of spring began to blossom. Cherry Blossom trees stood tall in all of their splendour causing the people passing by to be astounded at their range of colours that crossed each branch. Pink and white petals danced upon the wind and brushed past the faces of young lovesick school girls, their large eyes glazed over with innocence, while their slender fingers stretched to grasp the essence of nature's beauty, before they flew too far up into the sky and into the heavens.
Yes, it was a typical early spring in Juuban with the beginnings of romance blooming in the air....
All of this peace, however was instantly shattered by an high pitched screech that rang
out throughout the town of Juuban.
"AAAAAHHHH, Why didn't someone wake me up?!?" Came a shrill cry from within a bedroom where a school girl had just recently slept peacefully. Long locks of golden, piled up in disarray onto of the blondes head in multitudes of knots and matted hair, hid the two buns which were pinned on either side of the teen's head. Her clear blue eyes which were just recently glazed over with sleep, had now dilated into shock as she stared at the clock beside her bedside table. The analogue hands of a carrot pointing towards a time which the sleepy schoolgirl prayed was so very wrong. The blonde closed her eyes, as if she was having a dream and that the hands on her bunny clock would not say it was 8:45am in the morning. That it wasn't ten minutes before the bell for school rung. She cracked open one eye and then the other at the large carrot hand that had now moved from the nine and was hastily making it's way towards ten to nine.
"EEP! I'm gonna be late!" The blonde wailed, pulling off the bed covers and discarding them across the room. She jumped out of bed and towards her bedroom door, nearly tripping over piles of clothes manga which laid in heaps below her feet. The sounds of heavy thuds coming from the hallway made Irene and Ken naturally aware of their only daughter falling halfway down the stairs.
"Serena. What have I told you about leaving your bunny slippers at the top of the stairs," Serena's mother called after seeing a bedraggled blonde enter the kitchen. The sheer sight of their daughter even caused Ken to raise an eyebrow over his newspaper as he stared down at his watch, then at his daughter.
"Um Serena. You know what time it is... don't you pumpkin?" Serena's father questioned as he placed his newspaper down to take a sip of his coffee.
Serena nodded.
"And you know that it's a school day."
The blonde nodded again.
".......So shouldn't you be getting ready for school?"
"Oh Dad do I have to go to school? I'll only get after school detention," Serena whined, giving her best puppy dog face to which her father paid her no heed.
"Sorry Serena. But you have to go to school. After all you have got that maths test today, and it would be a shame for you to miss it since you were studying all yesterday night at Molly's house." Ken stated smoothly as he gulped the rest of his coffee down before moving out of his seat to pull on his blazer. The blonde visibly flinched at her father's words knowing that they were far from the truth. Yes, she did go to Molly's house but she knew that she did everything other than studying.
"See pumpkin, I have to go to work even though I don't want to go."
"But...Please Mom!" Serena protested dangerously close to tears.
"Sorry Serena, but your father's right." Irene added looking down at her daughter
"....But then I'll get my third detention this week!" She whined, as her lower lip trembled as her eyes began to tear up.
"Serena. Don't pull that face at me! You're going to school and that's final!" Irene screeched as she waved her spatula dangerously close to her daughter's face.
Serena gulped. "Oh...alright...Aghhh look at the time. I'm gonna arrive at least an hour late!" the blonde wailed as she stormed up the stairs heading straight towards the bathroom, to then be surprised when she found the door locked.
"SAMMY!" The blonde cried out as she slammed her small fists against the wood. "Get out of there! I need to get in!" Serena shouted to which she heard a slight chuckle from within the bathroom and a slight click as the door opened.
"Geez Serena. There's no need to shout all the time." Sammy responded swiping away his chestnut bangs from his face, as he stared up at his older sister. His blue eyes twinkled with amusement when he saw his sister's hair in such disarray.
"Hey Serena. I love what you did with your hair. I'll give you a little brotherly advice though....Sis... don't ever become a hairdresser." The brunette stated, laughing with amusement as he easily ducked the hand that was heading in his direction.
Serena growled and literally forced her younger brother out of the way. "Can it Sammy. I have no time to deal with you today," and with that, the blonde slammed the door in her brother's face.
"Ow...Heh heh. Oh don't forget your lunch Serena. Since you forgotten it twice this week." Sammy called from outside the bathroom door before proceeding towards his bedroom, his arms folded behind his head with contentment.
"Man I love having teacher training days when my sister hasn't." Sammy smiled as he stared down at his watch and listened to the sound of the shower being turned on.
"She's not gonna make it."
The blonde managed to have an unnaturally quick shower, then literally raked through the knots in her hair to then tie it up into her unique twin bun and pigtail combination in a matter of seconds. She rushed back into her room and slipped on her school uniform before rushing back into the bathroom to clean her teeth.
After checking to see that she looked presentable enough, the blonde teen dashed down the stairs, in the direction of the closet to search for her school bag.
"Agh! Where's my school bag? Mother!" Serena wailed, searching amongst the rack of coats in desperation. The strong ticking of the clock in the hallway reminded her of the little time she had to get to school.
"Boo!" came a suddenly sharp voice which caused Serena to jump in surprise before frowning in annoyance when she heard the familiar laugh of her younger brother behind her.
"Needing this Sis?" She turned around slowly and snatched the small bag out of her brother's hands, not without giving him a raspberry of course as she stomped towards the kitchen to find her shoes.
"Grrr, why does he manage to have a teacher's training day and I can't? Argh, my life is not fair!" Serena moaned as she pulled on her black, flat heeled shoes, one after the other.
"What was that doofus?" Sammy joked as he leaned against the wall, amused with the death glare that Serena sent his way.
"Stop being so annoying Sammy. You're gonna make me late for school." Serena gasped, noting that her precious time she had was hastily depleting and that it was five past nine.
"Oh no! I'm already ten minutes late and I haven't even left the house!" Serena groaned, as she zoomed through the front door, but not without saying goodbye to her mother and father. Irene and Ken sweat dropped. It was the same everyday for the Tsukino family. Serena would wake up on a school day at an horrendously late time, and then attempt to get ready within four minutes. It was no wonder that she often gained more than just a few detentions every week. And today was no different.
..........................................................................................................................................
"Oh man!" Serena sighed as she flopped her arms over the table, her head dropping upon them, her best friend Molly gave her a sympathetic look.
"Well Serena you know that it is for your own good." the red head chided softly as she stared up from her work to look at the time.
"And besides...it's nearly time for lunch," Molly stated smiling, knowing that her remark would win a smile out of the blonde, and she got her expected result.
"Ooh food yummy!" Serena exclaimed, rubbing her tummy for emphasis unaware of a certain auburn haired teacher looming over her table, while Molly rolled her eyes as she went back to her work.
"Serena! If you want another detention added onto the one that you have already got today, feel free to continue talking," Miss Haruna warned, her green eyes frowning at the blonde who gulped and nodded her head in understanding.
This is going to be a long day...
..........................................................................................................................................
"Thank god my detentions are over. I thought it would never end.." Serena sighed happily to herself, her blonde pigtails swinging to the beat of her footsteps while her swinging black lunchbox collided lightly against her leg.
"I don't understand why people have to learn all those boring letters on that Perriody table or whatever it is called. I bet it was created by the teachers to make us students waste our time. They don't even make sense. How can Sodium be called NA? SO I could understand but NA? It doesn't even have a N or an A in sodium. I don't think I'll be able to understand science. Nothing makes sense!" Serena moaned to herself, starring down at the pavement, her feet shuffling onwards in auto pilot mode to the place where her heart craved, or more specifically her stomach craved most. The Crown arcade where a certain blonde haired male worked.
"Ooh, Andrew will surely be able to make me better with one of his double chocolate milkshakes," The blonde giggled to herself, a slight blush crossing her face as she pictured the male blonde in her mind, his sparkling green eyes gazing at her with such warmth and longing that it caused her to loose focus of her surroundings, and then suddenly the dream was shattered when she felt her body collide with another form. It felt that her breath was knocked out of her and her entire form sprawled out across the pavement.
"Ouch. Oh I'm so sorry mister!" Serena quickly apologised, rushing to her feet and brushing off her own clothes in the process, turning around to pick up her fallen lunchbox.
"So glad to know that you have got manners Meatball head." Came a familiar sarcastic tone which caused Serena's back to stiffen in surprise. There was only one person who dared to talk to her in such a mocking way and the sight of the infamous green blazer was proof of that.
"Darien! How many times do I have to tell you. Is your brain that small that you cannot figure out that my name is Serena? Do you want me to spell it out to you?"
The raven haired male laughed openly as he retrieved his own Physic books off the floor. "Yeah yeah, why not. It would be nice to hear you recite your name wrong eh Meatball head. I can picture it now... M...E...E...T...B....oh what was I spelling again?" Darien stated, chuckling at his own comment and from the glare he was receiving from the small meatball haired blonde.
"That's going too far Darien! You're such a jerk!" The blonde fumed grinding her teeth at his remark. It was almost like this everyday when she went to the arcade. Ever since that unfortunate day when she threw her test score in his direction, he had never ceased to taunt or annoy her. It was as if he were a stalker, popping up from around dark corners to prey upon his unfortunate victims. And she knew that she was one of his unfortunate victims. Even with his looks, Serena knew that she couldn't just let his scathing words lay un-judged. Just because a guy was cute and had looks that benefited a model. With his stormy blue eyes that held a mysteriousness to them, raven black hair which clashed dramatically against his flawless mildly tanned skin, Serena knew that Darien was probably one of the most hottest guys she had ever met, but his personality..... that was another story..
"Yeah and you're such a meatball head." Darien retorted back to which Serena could only growl back a response.
"Oh just go home Darien, or go and annoy some other helpless victim." Serena snapped bitterly as she willed herself from bringing her school lunchbox over the collage guy's head.
"Why should I go home when I am with such delightful company?" He countered flicking away his black bangs from his vision.
"Well this delightful company is going to the Crowns. I'm going to see Andrew." Serena stated, the thought of the handsome blonde slightly cooled down her raging anger at the chauvinistic male before her. Just slightly.
Darien laughed, this girl would be perfect for comic relief. "Such a coincidence, I was going to buy a coffee at the Crowns." He enjoyed the way that she turned up her nose, her blue eyes sparkling with anger and the small pout which settled upon her attractive features.
Serena sighed dramatically, raising both of her hands in the air. "Why are you so annoying?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "Why are you so childish?"
"Arrrggh! Just go away Darien! You are such an annoyance." The blonde spat as she turned a 180' and began marching down the road, her pig tails streaming behind her.
Darien grinned shaking his head, watching as she stormed down the street. 'this girl is such an enigma..'
"Whatever you say Meatball head. But can I ask you one question." Serena paused mid-step and looked in his direction, her face clearing showing the annoyance she felt at their encounter.
"Why are you heading that way? The Crown is just a few blocks down this road." He stated, pointing his hand in the direction of the arcade and bustle of children which were going through the doors.
Serena huffed and turned away from the ebony haired male. How did he always manage to be so patronizing when he was around her...? It was so infuriating "I know that you jerk but I decided to take the long route round so that I don't have to walk with you!" She concluded, as Darien raised an eyebrow in response.
"That's my meatball head, always using her brain." Darien commented sarcastically with a deep chuckle causing the blonde to blush in anger and to quicken her steps away from the highly annoying collage student.
'Why are all the cute ones so conceited. Ugh of all of my luck...' Serena groaned as
she turned the corner, still hearing the ringing of Darien's laughing within her mind.

In a apartment far away from Juuban town..
"It's 4:00pm and I am bet all of you guys are glad to see the bright sun shine and warm weather. The temperature is 67'C..." came a overly happy voice upon a bedside table which was instantly slammed down upon the floor. The contraption which the voice came from, instantly froze mid sentence as the radio laid broken in various pieces among discarded clothes.
The sound of a groan and shuffle of sheets was the only sound within the room as the figure on a bed shifted over.
"Ugh...it's too early," a soft mumble was uttered under a layer of blankets rolling over once again to hide away from the light which had slipped under the gaps through his blinds. After a few more moments of tossing and turning within the confines of his bed, a figure wriggled out of various blankets and sluggishly made his way to his feet, wincing slightly from the ache that was throbbing at the back of his neck and the bright light from the window which was temporarily blinding him in the other wise dark room.
"Gah! Why does this sun have to be so bright?" He groaned, rubbing his eyes and scratching his bare chest before making his way to the bathroom. Various images flittered across his aching head as he stumbled over various articles of clothing before making his way to the bathroom shower. His hands fumbling over the dial before watching as the water began to heat up before pulling his arm out and discarding himself of his silk boxers and stepping into the shower. He hissed slightly at the almost painful heat which pattered down his back. His golden waves flattening against his skin as he took a steady breath and increased the temperature. Green eyes instantly fell shut in rapture as he flicked open his shampoo and massaged it into his scalp. The refreshing smell of cherry blossoms and vanilla stimulated his senses as his mind began to slowly reawaken, and memories of the day before began to resurface....

"Oh come on Jed! Come out with me!" Zoisite whined in an almost childlike manner, to his friend who seemed to take no awareness of the blonde's pitiful whining as he continued to study across the other side of the room.
"Jadeite, I'm bored! You study as if your exam is tomorrow. Give it up, you have all of next week to revise and it isn't like you're gonna fail. On the contrary, you'll probably gain a perfect score like you usually do." Zoisite stated rolling his eyes at the other blonde who had their face hidden within the depths of a physics book. Knowing what the serious general was like, Zoisite sighed to himself and continued to look at himself in the mirror, rubbing his hands against his newly bought pin stripe trousers and tight-chested silver shirt.
"Now onto more important thing. Jed should I have my shirt fully open or closed?" the blonde questioned over his shoulder at his quiet team-mate who didn't reply.
"Oh come on Jed. I know you can hear me!" Zoisite exclaimed in exasperation, his eyebrows furrowing when the short haired blonde didn't even turn his head his way.
"Jadeite!" Zoisite screeched in higher decibels, this time winning a glare and groan from his room-mate who slowly moved closed his book and turned to give full eye contact to the long haired blonde.
"Shut up Zoisite. I'm annoyed enough as it is that I have to stay in this dump and also be paired off with you. Gods knows what Kunzite was thinking. If he was even thinking..."
His voice was quiet and controlled, yet even Zoisite knew that it held an essence of malice.
"Oh stop being ungrateful. I rather be living in this dump than in Beryl's Negaverse any day." Zoisite chided, placing his hands on his hips as Jadeite merely snorted in response.
"Anyway, back to the point. What do you think suits me better, open or closed?" Zoisite stated as he began to undo the first few poppers on his shirt.
Jadeite just stared at his roomy getup and fought the urge to be truthful. The truth won. ".......neither. You do know that you look gay in that get up."
Zoisite gaped in surprise at the blonde's words. "Not gay. Bi! I got it from a Bi shop!"
Jadeite shook his head. "I'm not even gonna ask what a Bi shop is."
"Good! I can't be bothered to explain." Zoisite laughed out loud flipping his hair over his shoulder.
"But you still haven't answered my question."
Jadeite rubbed his temple, clearly exasperated. "Look. I don't care. Whatever you thinks best." he sighed, repositioning himself upon the recliner as he opened his Physics book open again hoping that his annoying partner would leave him alone sometime soon.
"I'll have it half open ne? Makes the guys and girls want to find out what's lower eh?" the green eyed blonde stated turning around slightly to pose in the mirror.
Jadeite shrugged. "I wouldn't know. I'm not that type of guy." Zoisite not expecting such a comeback couldn't help but let out a girlish giggle, closing up a couple of his buttons on his shirt, before reaching down into his pocket and taking out a wide toothed comb. Placing the wooden brush against the side of his head, the blonde carefully drew soft careful strokes from root to tip, taking care to not pull his hair before putting his hair into it's usual loose ponytail.
"Ta da! what do you think Jed? Aww come on! Tell me what you think! I can't help it if I'm prettier than you." he stated watching with amusement as Jadeites blue eyes glowered at him. Zoisite's look of amusement quickly disappeared when he saw a violet flame flickering around the Jadeite's hand.
"Hey hey! I weren't serious. You're not half bad looking yourself. Maybe if you loose the nerdy student look with wire rimmed glassed, then you might pick up a few dates.." the Zoisite began, raising his hands out in front of him. It wasn't like the blonde was afraid of a confrontation with the short haired general, it was just that he didn't want his recently bought shirt to be fried to a crisp
Jadeite closed his palm and the flame extinguished in his hand. "You really do need to take life much more seriously Zoisite, because I cannot be the one who has to work while you have all the fun."
"Well..... I offered to let you join me but you refused. And anyway, all work and no play makes Jadeite a dull boy who will become stressed and loose his mind.... and talk loony crap about the stars like Nephrite...... and then gain a head of white hair like Kunzite." Zoisite stated cheekily, wagging his finger in front of the roomie's face. Jadeite couldn't help but chuckle at the remark. It still surprised him how Zoisite had managed to survive so long with such the impertinent attitude he possessed.
'Oh I forgot..... Beryl did kill him due to his insolence...'
"Humph. For that remark, tomorrow, I'm gonna get you some applications from the college. I so hate the way that you think getting up at 4:00 each day is natural." the short haired blonde stated as he removed his glasses to wipe his lenses on his crisp white shirt.
Zoisite shrugged his shoulders. "I can't help it if I am a party animal..." he stated absently, as he moved across the living room towards the kitchen to make himself some coffee.
Jadeite chuckled at his remark, as the corners of his lips began to curl up at a certain thought. "Well at least you didn't bring home any 'dates' like you did last time. I can't see how you do it... or more precisely, how Kunzite lets you make an ass out of yourself every night."
"That's easy. I just don't tell him." Zoisite called out from around the kettle to which Jadeite could only groan in response.
"Well the way I see it. is that I have been blessed with this god of a body, so why can't I let others enjoy it?" the green eyed blonde stated placing a hand on his hip.
Jadeite covered his face with his hands and gave out a moan of disgust. "Ugh! I can see why Kunzite didn't want to room with you. You drive everyone insane!"
Zoisite pouted. "You're just jealous..."
"Heh of you? I don't think so. But I'm still think that you need a job." The blue eyed male responded as he leaned towards the coffee table and grabbed the newspaper which laid half-folded upon it.
Zoisite grinned to himself as he moved around the kitchen and pulled out his favourite mug from the cupboard. "Why would I need one when I have already got a job?"
Jadeite blinked. "Nani?"
Zoisite laughed to himself as he reached into one of the many jars of coffee and placed a heaped teaspoon of the dark granules into his blue cup before pouring the boiling water inside. "I have already applied myself as a school substitute teacher. The science block if I recall correctly,"
Jadeite couldn't help but look surprised."...you know nothing about science." he began as he watched the blonde general make himself some coffee.
Adding a couple of tea spoons of sugar and cream into his drink concoction, the blonde laughed at the bemused look which was clearly written across his room-mate's face. He stirred the caramel coloured liquid, watching as the curls of steam rose from the liquid and the prominent smell of Carte Noir wafted around his nose. After taking a sip and sighing with delight with it's perfect temperature, the long haired blonde moved himself out of the kitchen and back into the living room, resting his hip against the side of the portal, awhile he continued to converse with the short haired general.
"I know. That's why I chose Biology. It's my favourite easiest science cause it features one of my favourite pastimes, linked with the human body." Zoisite stated, unable to resist adding some sexual innuendo into his words.
Jadeite raised an eyebrow in question, at first not understanding Zoisite's meaning. "..respiring?"
"Uh uh. Not that. Do you want a clue?" A mischievous glint within the blonde's eyes made Jadeite instantly realise what Zoisite meant, and he couldn't help but groan with displeasure.
"You're hopeless. You really are..... I just can't see how they let someone like you take the job." Jadeite sighed, thinking of his past escapades he did, working in various different jobs with various types of people. And not one of them ever questioned his motives or his backgrounds. ' Those humans must have been really stupid to give someone like Zoisite a job..'
Zoisite as if knowing what the other blonde was thinking gave one last sip of his drink before raising his hand in the air.
".....well, Jed, can you keep a little secret?" Zoisite asked innocently, with an overly sugary tone which caused Jadeite to immediately pay attention.
"Zoisite," Jadeite began, knowing that when Zoisite ever used that tone that something was seriously wrong..
The green eyed blonde scratched the back of his head.
"I....well...I kinda used my abilities...."
Utter silence.
"........you didn't...." Jadeite stared at Zoisite to see if there was quirk of a smile on his lips or a twinkle in his eye to show that it was a sick joke. But there wasn't.
"You're such a Baka Zoisite. Did you forget what Kunzite told you? We are to stay hidden from the Negaverse and the Sailor scouts and that means not unleashing our energies so we can become tracked!" Jadeite exclaimed jumping out of his chair in rage and turning towards his roomy. Zoisite seeing this danger stepped a few paces back and placed his cup on the side, scratching the side of his neck with discomfort.
"Hey hey....Don't worry Jeddy-bear, there has been no sight of the large-reared Queen of concubines aka Beryl since the final battle, and there haven't been any sightings of five sexy girls in skin tight fukus, so we're fine.." Zoisite began trying to lighten the tension within the room with a few of his comments but he had noticed, more than often that they didn't seem to work with Jadeite like they worked with Nephrite or Kunzite.
"That's besides the point." Jadeite growled. "Kunzite told all of us that under no circumstance that we are allowed to use our power in this world. You may have put us all in danger!"
Zoisite shook his head, as one hand reached up to twirl an idle blonde curl. "You worry too much!"
"And you don't worry enough," Jadeite retorted. "Don't you forget that you were killed by Beryl, and that we are all still unaware of the outer power which revived all of us and managed to free me from my prison."
Zoisite rolled his eyes believing to himself that he must have heard this story at least 18 times by Kunzite and at least 6 times by Nephrite. "We already know that. Both Nephrite and Kunzite explained that it must have been linked to the Ginzuishou."
Jadeite nodded his head. "Exactly..... and who controls the Ginzuishou?"
Zoisite gave him a look to see if he were joking. "Sailor moon or Princess Serenity of course."
"And for the Ginzuishou to work, who needs to be alive in order to use it," Jadeite pressed on, while a look of confusion crossed the other blonde's face.
The blonde scratched the back of his head. "...um....is this a trick question?"
"Argh! Sailor moon you Baka....." Jadeite answered for him wondering how a general could become so dense.
"So...?" Jadeite pressed on hoping that what he was saying was acting being registered into Zoisite's brain.
Zoisite blinked. "So what?"
Jadeite tried to control the urge he had to strangle the foolish general. ".....So obviously if we are alive, she must be too."
The long haired general nodded in understanding to his partner's words. "I get that....so what's the problem then?"
Jadeite slapped a hand to his forehead. ".......oh just forget it! Hopefully, tomorrow I can persuade Nephrite or Kunzite to swap apartments with me." The blonde stated, feeling a head-ache slowly making itself known.
"They won't," Zoisite stated nonchalantly as he grinned at the fair haired general. "Nephrite's staying at his mansion and Kunzite says he wants no roomies."
Jadeite dropped his head down, moving his glass from his face to rub his eyes in frustration.
".....great, sometimes I wish that Sailor moon could just barge through this door and either moondust Zoisite, or if not Zoisite, then at least moondust me and put me out of my misery." Jadeite grumbled to himself as he stared down at the ringed add in the newspaper.
"I heard that Jadeite." Zoisite growled lightly underneath his breath as he walked out the room and then returned soon after wearing a black blazer which matched his trousers.
Jadeite raised an eyebrow at his attire. "Where are you going?"
"To Crossroads elementary school," Zoisite replied as he shuffled around the room for his wallet and keys.
"I'm going into work to find out what's going on. I just need to know what I'll be doing and where I'll be tomorrow."
This was twice that Zoisite managed to surprise Jadeite.
"You're working tomorrow? Hey wait? What school did you say again?"
"Crossroads. For little brats. I mean adorable little school children," Zoisite stated in a sickly sweet voice, batting his eyes and trying to look so innocent that it even caused Jadeite to shudder.
"Crossroads...... Crossroads.....The name....It sounds familiar...' The blonde pondered as he rubbed his chin in thought.
" No! Wait! It can't be.." Jadeite gasped as he dashed around the recliner to look down at the address of the school. It was the same as he remembered. Juuban junior school. Zoisite raised an eyebrow when he saw a look of surprise cross the other blonde's face before changing back to his usual scowl.
"Zoisite listen." Jadeite began, his blue eyes darkening to a cobalt hue as the blonde's mouth was set in a thin line. "I think that's the school one of the Sailor senshi went to." he stated, his mind having flashes of three school girls, two adorning blue and white school uniforms, and another in creams browns who were standing outside a airport...?
Green eyes widened in surprise. "How can you be so sure? I thought you said you lost your memories of who the sailor senshi were when Beryl encased you."
Jadeite nodded. "I did.... it must have been the Ginzuishou that erased all of our memories..... but I know for sure that at least one of the scouts go to that school. For that, I'm certain!" the blonde finished in a determined voice, pointing at the newspaper add and the small logo of a girl in a long blue skirt and a white shirt. A bright red bow adorning her chest. The illustration matched the outfit of the girls in his dreams....
"Oh! So are you trying to say that I should let this job go, due to those annoying Sailor brats?" Zoisite questioned, slightly peeved at the thought that whatever he was trying to accomplish, the Sailor scouts always managed to meddle with his plans. He slowly began the task of removing his jacket.
The short haired blonde shook his head. "I didn't say that. Keep the job if you wish... I just want you to be on your guard. Be careful Zoisite."
Zoisite laughed pulling his jacket back on with enthusiasm. " Is Jadeite worried about little old me? Don't worry. I can take care of myself. I'll just stay away from any girl who reminds me of an annoying senshi." the blonde laughed winking and raising a peace sign as Jadeite groaned.
"Ugh. where did you get that hand gesture from?" Jadeite questioned to the long haired blonde who merely pointed a slender finger towards the television against the side wall.
"You should watch the media Jadeite. You wouldn't believe all the things these silly human do for entertainment." Zoisite stated, looking at the dark television screen before clicking his fingers, causing the television set to turn to life. Scantily clad girls giggled across the screen as they played volleyball. Their ample chests showing much more cleavage than Jadeite would have liked to see. With their annoying high pitched giggles and obvious seductive poses, they were starting to grind on the general's nerves.
"Television rots the mind Zoisite, especially this crap," Jadeite stated bluntly raising his palm to the set, the television turning itself off once again bringing silence to the house.
"So does over studying. Well I gotta go!" Zoisite stated checking himself one last time in the mirror before moving towards the main door.
"Toodles Jed, Don't stay up too late studying..." Zoisite grinned at the other blonde who grunted in response.
"Whatever...you should listen to your own advice." Jadeite stated as he heard the door slam shut.
'I hope Zoisite doesn't traumatize his school students too much...' Was Jadeites last sympathetic thought, before picking up his physics book and resuming to study from where he last left off..........................

* Present time *
Zoisite blinked as he towel dried his hair from his recent bath.
He stared up at his clock on his wall which said Thursday 16th January 4:34pm and then at the crumpled newspaper add on the bed which stated 'Part time teacher needed, from date Thursday 16th January 8:55am to 4:00pm.....' The blondes eyes flicked from the add to the clock for a few moments until he made a startling realisation.
Green eyes dilated as he dropped his towel in shock.
"Holy Christ! I missed my first day of work!"
"Ah well," The blonde shrugged, calming down when another thought registered within his mind. "They should have called me on my answer phone during the day or something," the blonde stated to himself as he walked towards his phone and pressed the red button, getting ready to hear the cheesy feminine voice stating no new messages.
"16 new messages...'
Zoisite sweat dropped...."Urrr....16 new messages....and I bet they are all from work....Great.....just great," Zoisite groaned, rubbing his eyes.
"Oh well, not much that I can do now. I'll just apologise tomorrow and say that I wasn't aware that I had to be in for today....." Zoisite said to himself as he began to dress himself.
"At least Jadeite is in College, so I won't have to deal with him today." Zoisite thought to himself with relief, having a good idea how Jadeite would react if he were to know he missed his first day of work.
"He won't know if I 'delete' all the proof," the blonde commented to himself as he padded across the floor to the phone, his hand hovering over the delete button before pressing down firmly.
"You have no new messages."
"Whew, that was easy." The blonde stated rubbing his hands with delight. "Now I can get onto more important things. What's for breakfast?"

Well....*looks nervously around.* what do you guys think of my portrayal of Zoisite. I didn't want to just keep him as a boring old bookworm, who is shy and afraid of women. This is Zoisite we are talking about! So Zoisite missed his first day of work....what will happen to Zoisite when he arrives at the school? When will the other generals make the scene? How will Zoisite survive a whole class of adolescent kids? When will I ever update the next chapter? LOL
Please read and review? I would very much appreciate it!
