Author Note: It took us F-O-R-E-V-E-R to write this chapter! It's over thirty pages long (probably over fifty but who's counting?) plus we had midterms on top of everything. We are sorry it's so late though. Hopefully the length and steamy scenes will make up for it. *both laugh*
So, how'd you like part B? Was it semi-interesting?

Chapter 8- It's Getting Hot in Here (part C)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Kunzite sat on the couch, propping his head up with his hand and flipping through some ads in the newspaper. There was no excuse. He needed a job. Suddenly, his eyes fell upon one that seemed to jump out at him. Well, that was probably because he recognized the name instantly- Kino Makoto- one of the most prominent Tsukino models in the city. "She's looking for a bodyguard?" he mused to himself.
He tore the ad out of the paper and stuffed it into his pocket for later use. "Minako, are you almost ready?" he called towards the bathroom.
"Yeah, just a few more minutes..." she called back. Of course, in girl language, that meant another half hour or so. She giggled, hearing his sigh, and continued the tedious task of applying her makeup.
"So...remind me again just WHY we're meeting your boyfriend? Why am I going? i don't want to date him..." he looked up sharply. 'Mina, I KNOW you wouldn't be trying to set me up again like you did that one time..."
"Oh....of course not...." she said in a voice that wasn't particularly assuring. "Oh, and by the way, please don't tell him about Robert, Daniel, Eric, Billy, James, or Peter."
"Or Jose or Carl?"
"Oh yeah...them too." she came out of the bathroom in a silver, strapless gown with a slit that went up to her underwear line. It would've made his eyes pop when they had been going out, and she was hoping it would do the same for some other guys at the restaraunt. She placed her hands on her hips. "And how is it that you know my boyfriends better than I do?"
He folded his arms over his chest. "I was looking in the refridgerator and found your address book," he said, turning his attention to her outfit. "And you're going out in public in that?"
"Of course. What, you don't like it?" she pouted, slowly turning in a circle so he could so that the back of the dress went all the way down to her waist, revealing lots of creamy skin.
His eyes darted back and forth. "It shows too much skin," he complained. "And the neckline is a little low, and.." he went on. Kunzite's relationship with Minako perplexed him, even as it had done three years ago. Even when they were dating, he'd always looked upon her as a friend, no, a sister. He was extremely protective of her, and this was one of the reasons he had agreed to go with her to meet her boyfriend- there was a major inspection in order.
"If you think it shows too much skin, then it's absolutely perfect." She smiled widely, wrapping arms around him. It really hadn't taken her that long to get used to the fact that he was gay. It was almost as if she had known all along...who knows, maybe she had. "Thanks for coming with me tonight Kunzite." she pulled away, grabbing her evelope purse off the table. "I'm finally ready, by the way."
He checked his watch. "New record!" He high fived her before straightening his tie. "You do look very nice," he admited reluctantly on their way out the door. "So who is this guy exactly, anyway?"
"You know that guy who plays Jack on that tv show Will and Grace...."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Zoicite, completely oblivious to anything that was going on bewteen the two of them, suddenly piped up. "I'm hungry! Where are we going?"
Jadeite sighed in frustration, shooting his friend a death glare.
Rei blinked and turned to look at Zoicite and then back at Jadeite with a 'get-rid-of-him' expression on her face. She wrapped her arm in his and ran her fingertips up his arm lazily, glaring slightly at Zoicite. "Who said we were taking YOU for lunch."
Zoicite blinked, stunned for a moment, then looked hurt. "Fine, I see how it is. I'm just in the way. Oh well. I'll be going now..." he slowly began to drag his feet across the floor to the exit. He turned around and looked back, his face filled with pain. "Bye." He disappeared around the door. Moments passed. He poked his head back around the corner and said, "I'm leaving for good this time." He disappeared.
Silence.
"DAMMIT, I'm LEAVING!" He popped back into the doorway and began waving his arms wildly.
Jadeite laughed and turned to look at Rei with pleading eyes.
Rei sighed defeatedly, letting her arms fall from Jadeite's. "Fine, but you are soooo treating Zoicite!" suddenly she got a surprised look on her face and she pulled something out of her back pocket. "Oh, I almost forgot. Me and the girls got you a card." she smiled, handing it to him.
"A card? For me?" he said in a southern drawl. "Well, I do declare, Miss Hino, you are my hero." He wrapped his arms around her neck and giggled, then pulled away to read the card.
She nodded, the smile still on her face as she anticipated his reaction. When he opened the card, it looked innocent enough. The front said "Welcome Back" in gold, cursive letters and there was a pretty design of intricate flowers, each of the girls' favorite colors, on it. He flipped open the inside, his eyes widening at what he read. 'Hey Kunzite, Zoicite. We missed you guys!!!! We really only have one thing to say to you though: Welcome to the dark side. ^_~ The girls.'
Zoisite's eyes scanned the card, then snapped up to Rei, then back to the card, then to Rei again. Pure shock was registered on his face. "The DARK side?"
"Yup. You're one of us now, Zoicite!" she smiled, winking at him. "Homosexuality is a sin you know."
He blinked. "It most certainly is NOT!"
Jadeite shook his head to himself. "She's just rattling your cage, Zoi-"
"AND WHY DO YOU KEEP PICKING ON US?!"
It is so." pulls a copy of the Bible out of Jedite's back pocket. "You guys actually carries these EVERYWHERE?!" she shook her head before flipping through some pages and shoving it at Zoicite. "See? It's a sin, you can go to Hell for it."
Zoicite's eyes scanned the line. "Who so ever shall lie wit-" his head snapped up. "YOU TOLD THEM THAT, TOO?" He looked incredulously at Jadeite, who was grinning sheepishly and looking for the nearest exit. That window was startin' to look appealing again.
"So, it's true?! I thought he was kidding!!"
Jadeite, in an attempt to dig himself out of his hole, sucked his teeth. "Ooh, you just WALKED into that one."
"This is priceless!" she clapped her hands. "I just thought you to were attracted to one another, I didn't think you actually-" she broke off into a fit of giggles.
Zoicite started to shake with anger. "I can handle Rei teasing me about it....." He clenched his fist. "But you said you wouldn't tell anyone!" he cried, lunging for Jadeite's throat.
Rei blinked, looking at the two of them rolling on the floor. "Zoicite, if you castrate him then I won't have a playmate anymore!"
Jadeite yelled and fell backwards and began crawling around on the floor, searching for something to defend himself with. "HELP ME REI!"
Zoicite picked a penknife out of a coffee mug on a nearby desk and it glittered dangerously in the dim light of the room.
"Didd you even see what happened to my favorite jeans yesterday?! I so am NOT letting this outfit get ruined. Besides, I'm wearing a skirt, what the hell am I supposed to do-ZOICITE! PUT THAT KNIFE DOWN OR YOU'LL EXPERIENCE HELL ON EARTH!"
Zoicite stopped and looked around. Jadeite, not being the brightest of all fellows under pressure, reached for the Bible and held it to his face as a shield.
Rei's mind raced as she tried to think of some sort of question or ANYTHING that would get them to stop fighting..."Wow, so this is what man to man sex looks like!" she winked. "Sexy!"
Jadeite set the book aside and stood up, his previous fear of Zoicite's wrath gone. "Now just one minute!" he yelled, his blood pressure rising.
Zoicite spun around and laughed. "Ah HA!" he pointed at her.
"It worked, yay!" she jumped in the air and clapped her hands in a momentary loss of her normal 'cool non-caring' personality. "So, can we go eat now, I'm soooo starving!"
Zoicite and Jadeite looked at each other and blinked. "Hey, don't look at me, man, I don't get `em either! Zoicite said, raising his arms in defence.
"Uh....okay....where are we going?"
"Crazy."
"I meant to eat, stupid!"
"Here." she dragged them both into the first place they came too, which just happened to be a pizza parlor. "Pizza!" she practically drooled as she looked over the menu. She got her mindset on what she wanted and looked at Jedite curiously. "So tell me, is anything but gay sex allowed in heaven? I mean, did you have any "playmates" up there?" she laughed. "I can't imagine you living for three years without one."
"Oh, it's not forbidden...'technically'...." Zoicite started.
"But it is frowned upon. Only married couples do it....no one else really thinks about it. You just....have other things to do. It's different. In Heaven, we don't NEED Earthly pleasures such as sex. It's already a euphoric paradise without it."
She nearly choked. "So you DID go three years without it?!" she laughed. "I'm impressed. Even Ami had it at least once a month with one demon or another, and you know how shy SHE is." She said carelessly, forgetting Zoicite's old relationship with Ami.
"What?" the long haired saint asked rather sharply.
"Oh." she bit her bottom lip, realizing her mistake. "I'm sorry Zoicite...I didn't think.." she trailed off, looking down at her hands and taking a long sip from her drink.
"It's different....you remember how you said in Hell, sex is just common? Like a greeting? Well, in Heaven, sex is just something that we joke about when we're refering to humans, and how pathetic their lives are, that they have to rely on it. We almost NEVER acually think about it," Jadeite said, trying to head off the conflict.
"It's so completely different in Hell. Sex is considered more of a natural thing, something even just casual friends do with one another to try and learn and understand about a person better. And what better way to do so then to explore them when they're most vulnerable?" she shook her head. "I feel so different now that I'm back on Earth though, everything's different..." she looked over at Jedite. "Since sex is such a joke, I'm guessing you WON'T be visiting me every once in awhile?" she raised an eyebrow mockingly.
Zoicite propped his head up with his hand and yawned. He laughed. "Are you kidding? You should see his calen...uh....his..." he trailed off slowly as Jadeite turned slightly pale.
She raised an eyebrow. "Calendar?" she let a hand fall down and massage his leg suggestively before slipping into one of his pockets and pulling out something. "A day planner...is this it?" she opened it curiously. "Hm...let's see. I wonder what's on this calendar of yours..."
"No!" He reached out for his and grabbed in vain, trying to retrieve his calendar, before she opened it...
Too late. She flipped open to the first page and her eyes filled with amusement.
"Noo.." he said weakly.
Zoicite turned to him. "Relax, man. She won't know that you're keeping your calendar blank in case she asks you out so you'll always be free."
"You are? Aw, that's so sweet Jedite. Maybe our relationship WAS based on something more than awesome sex." she gave him back the planner, sliding it across the table.
However, Jadeite was too busy trying to land a punch on Zoicite's face to notice what she said. "She does now, you RETARD!"
Just then, the waitress appeared. "Yay, now we get to order," Zoicite said, moving his head to the side so that Jadeite slammed his fist into the wall. An unsettling crunching sound was heard.
Rei winced at the noise. "Stop being stupid, Jedite. He owed you one anyway for telling me about his and Kunzite's sex life." she handed the waitress her menu. "I'll have two spinach and cheese calzones with a slice of pepperoni and a large order of breadsticks." she smiled cheekily. "What about you guys?"
The two men exchanged glances.
"That's disgusting!"
"I don't know why you girls are so obsessed with dieting..."
They looked at the waitress eagerly. "We'll have the most fattening thing on the menu!"
The waitress raised an eyebrow and scribbled something on the notepad. "Anything else?"
"So you missed me Jedite?" she smiled at him, her hands returning to his thigh to massage it gently with her fingertips.
"What's with all the rhetoric questions?" he asked, smiling wryly. "Haven't I asnwered this one yet?"
"Yes, I suppose, but you keep dodgiing the actual question." She sighed. "Did you miss ME or the sex?"
"Listen to me," Zoicite began, "Don't answer that. There is ONE thing I know about women..."
"Only because you ARE one," Jadeite muttered.
"Now what was that?" he cried angrily.
"Now you are BOTH circumventing the question!" Rei said, glaring.
Jadeite twidled his thumbs nervously. He loosened his collar. "Well, of course I missed you," he said, giving Zoicite a swift kick under the table.
"You still didn't-food!" She quickly dove into the calzone set down in front of her. She munched away happily, the waitress looking at her funny as she did soo. She glared at the waitress who scuttled away quickly. "Mmm..." she groaned softly, closing her eyes. Jadeite and Zoicite looked at her, jaws agape, but probably for different reasons.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Usagi bit her bottom lip, deep in thought as she took a long sip of her coffee. It had been a rather eventful day, but whether or not that was a good thing was still undecided. She HAD enjoyed the kiss, but she really didn't want to get involved with Mamoru. He was too much of an asshole. Normally she would've been able to brush it off and move onn, but for some reason she hadn't been able to get him out of her mind.
It scared her.
'I won't worry about that now, I'm too tired...'She crawled into bed and closed her eyes, praying for peaceful dreams.
But God wasn't listening.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"U-Usako...I-I-I can't do it..." Mamoru looked down at his hands.
"Don't think about it Mamo-chan. Just let it happen," she kissed him softly, crawling into his lap. Reluctantly, he returned the kiss, his eyes closing. She smiled, tears of irony falling slowly down her cheeks. The steel of a blade felt cold against her neck, and she pulled him closer to her in response. It pierced her neck slightlyat her sudden movement, and she cried out as a few drops of blood slid down her neck onto the white sheets. He released the knife and hugged her to him.
"Usako, no! I won't do it, I can't."
"Mamo-chan," she whispered softly, picking up the knife and cradling it in her hands. "This is how it was meant to be, and how it should be..."
"No!" He choked, his eyes filling with tears.
"Good must always conquer over evil." She smiled, her slender fingers wrapping around the hilt of the blade. "We'll meet again, love."
"Where?" She shrugged.
"Heaven, hell, or somewhere in between." She drove the knife into her heart, watching him cry out as her eyes started dulling.
"I love you, Usako!" He cried out, as her world went dark.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"No!" Usagi cried as she sat up, waking in a cold sweat. She looked around and saw that she was in her own room. Sighing in relief her eyes widened when she felt a slight pain in her neck.
It was hurting where the blade had stabbed her in the dream.
Paranoid, she crawled out of bed and quickly ran over to her mirror to inspect it. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the mirror.
Instead of her reflection, she saw Lucifer.

She smiled, tears of irony falling slowly down her cheeks. The steel of a blade felt cold against her neck, and she pulled him closer to her in response. It pierced her neck slightlyat her sudden movement, and she cried out as a few drops of blood slid down her neck onto the white sheets. He released the knife and hugged her to him.
"Usako, no! I won't do it, I can't."
"Mamo-chan," she whispered softly, picking up the knife and cradling it in her hands. "This is how it was meant to be, and how it should be..."
"No!" He choked, his eyes filling with tears.
"Good must always conquer over evil." She smiled, her slender fingers wrapping around the hilt of the blade. "We'll meet again, love."
"Where?" She shrugged.
"Heaven, hell, or somewhere in between." She drove the knife into her heart, watching him cry out as her eyes started dulling.
"I love you, Usako!" He cried out, as her world went dark.

"No!" Usagi cried as she sat up, waking in a cold sweat. She looked around and saw that she was in her own room. Sighing in relief her eyes widened when she felt a slight pain in her neck.
It was hurting where the blade had stabbed her in the dream.
Paranoid, she crawled out of bed and quickly ran over to her mirror to inspect it. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the mirror.
Instead of her reflection, she saw Lucifer.
