Nameless: Chapter 4
The sun shined brightly into the bustling airport. A young woman with a slim sunny dress and sunglasses on stepped off the escalator. Her short dress showed off her long golden legs, which complimented her slim waist and firm body. Her golden hair shone so beautifully that women stopped to stare at the beautiful shine it emitted while men stopped to check out the gorgeous model like body.
I sighed and slid my sunglasses up on top of my head. It had been two years since the trip to the cabin in the US and more since I was in Tokyo. Four years ago, persuasion was a bitch when dealing with Ami. It took us a long time to convince Ami to go to Germany like she had planned to so very long ago to finish her doctor's degree. Last time I stopped by Germany, I had seen Ami briefly and it was during her shift at a local hospital near her school. She was planning to transfer back to Tokyo this year since she had fulfilled what she had wanted to do in Germany. Lita with her thirst to learn new recipes had decided to study aboard after the first year in college. From what Serena had told me, she had been in cooking competitions and had only recently opened a restaurant in Tokyo. Rei being responsible for her aging grandfather had taken over the temple and stayed in Tokyo. Though she had to take care of the temple, on the side, she had used one of the rooms to give classes on self-defense and meditations.
While this was happening, I had been recruited by a new agency for promising models and stars three years ago. I had been doubtful since the agency was just getting its own bearings and was still new in the competition, but it showed great prospect with the idea of me being their main focus. That, of course, got my attention and who wouldn't want to be the main focus. I decided to give it a try. That try gave me three years of almost non-stop work. For the first year, I modeled for various cosmetics, clothing lines and even the agency's own emerging clothing line called Passion (Author's note: If there is such a brand called Passion, sorry it's not on purpose and I'm not using that brand in my story, it's just a name for this imaginary brand of clothes for the story, nothing more). I had even been in most of the successful commercials being shown the next year I accepted. It is amazing how much connection that the agency had. The next two years, I was transferred to the offices in Europe and they had me trying out my vocals and acting. At the same time, modeling jobs were still very much part of my life. But it was an experience that I would not give up. The result is my first single being released this year with an upcoming concert in Tokyo and my third movie being shown in Europe.
Now I was being repositioned back to Tokyo with my manager, who had successfully covered for me from being swarmed by reporters. Something to do with a look alike. I had been given special treatments since the agency decided I was their main focus wanted. Over the past years, my boss, who was also the designer of Passion, had been working with me frequently. He was an easygoing person and always willing to try anything suggested, we soon became more like friends than employer and employee. All in all, I was finally back in Tokyo, to be even much busier than before. As for Serena...
"Mina, Mina," a breathless yell had me looking to my left. Serena was in a dull color skirt and white blouse, running towards me. Her hair was still styled into her two buns and it was streaming behind her. Her handbag nearly knocked someone unconscious as she neared. Serena was a sociology and political science major with a philosophy minor. She was also an assistant professor in her college. For someone who had been an airhead in junior high to high school, it was amazing how much she had matured out of all of them.
Serena tripped on her heels and I watched as she fell. Yep, she had matured but she was still the same bubbly, clumsy Serena they had all known. I felt myself smile, thinking it was great to be back and went to help Serena up.
"Mina, I am so sorry. I was dozing, I mean, I was...oh the heck with it," she hugged me tightly saying, "I missed you so much. How have you been? Where was the last place you were being sited? There is so much I got to tell you too. Our first appointment for the fittings is next month. Hopefully, Ami will have arrived by then. You guys have to help me find my wedding dress. There are so many choices that I don't know which one to choose. I know the wedding won't actually be until a little past next year, but I just want everything to be perfect and..."
"Meatball head, you are going to wear Mina's ears out with that nonstop talking of yours," Rei said as she came behind Serena. Rei was in her red pants and jacket with a black dress shirt. She looked meticulously elegant on the outside but the secret was it comes to her naturally. Rei looked at me then broke into a grin and we hugged each other. "Nice to see you again."
"Same here," I smiled, grabbing their arms to walk to the exit. It was going to be one long happy reunion with lots of pigging out that they haven't done in a long time and especially with Lita's cooking.
--------------------------------
As the three girls exited the airport, a young woman in navy blue pants and jacket stepped off the escalator. She brushed her blue bangs away from her eyes and reached back down to hold onto a boy of two. His small hand disappeared into the woman's hand as he looked around curiously with his light green eyes with hints of blue. His wavy blond hair moved softly with the motion of his head. They walked the opposite direction from the girls to the baggage area.
--------------------------------
As the woman and child left, two men stepped off the escalator. The tallest one with long silver blond hair wore a harsh expression on him and radiated power in his business attire. Next to him stood a long ponytail blond hair man in jeans and dress shirt. His sunglasses covered the movement of his green eyes as he kept glancing back to the glowering person next to him, while he waited for the ring tone next to his ears to stop.
The call was picked with a, "Yeah?" away from the phone, "No, have her try that one on. Yes, the lilac one," back on the phone, "Speak, Z, I'm busy at the moment."
The man turned his back to the taller one as he said, "Jackass, you were suppose to pick us up at this moment. My bro is staring daggers at my back and you know how he is with his time schedule."
"Oh shit," came through the phone follow by nonsense gibberish then a pause, "You ass, don't scare me like that. I knew I didn't forget something as important as this. Neph is coming to pick you up since I'm up to my elbows with Tenacious(Author's note: made up name, no relation to anything). So give the heat to him, not me. I'm hanging up, I have an agency to run." Before the phone call ended a distant conversation was started, "Alright people, let's get this show..." The phone call ended.
Turning around, he looked straight at the older man's commanding silver gray eyes and said, "J's not coming but Neph is," looking around, "But he is never one to be late. Maybe he's getting our luggage," looking back at his brother, "Relax, why don't you? Where's that charming smile you show your clients and the camera." He smiled and got frowned upon.
Z dramatically posed with his hands clasped in front of him, near his heart, exclaimed, "Oh he frowns upon me so, marring his handsome face with such disfigurement. His silver gray eyes, that can send trembles down its objection, narrows ever so slightly. Such anger, such passion, it gives one a chill to wonder what would happen if those eyes were to but turn heated with desire. Ahhh," he dramatically reached out, "he turns from me, yet such a pleasing sight to have turned upon." He burst out laughing as he watched his brother walk faster away from him towards the baggage area.
A familiar figure pushing a cart of luggage came around the corner from the baggage area. He ran past his brother, and then found himself staring at the ceiling of the airport. His head pounding from the hair pull as he said, "Childish, immature!" His brother continued walking past him without missing a beat.
People had been staring for a while and were making comments. He stood up and walked to his intended destination. "Hey, Neph. Kunzite here is being a big baby today."
Neph with luscious long brown hair grinned, "Let me guess, his schedule running a bit tight again or... are you sure he's not just sexually frustrated?"
Z gasped with exaggeration and said slowly, "Now that you mention it, he hasn't brought anyone home for like..." counting his fingers "ever..."
"Shut up, Z. My personal life is no business of yours! For someone with an IQ as high as yours, one wonders where you get such a comedian behavior from even with that nasty temper of yours!" Kunzite walked away.
"Well it can't be helped since I'm your brother and you know you looooovvvveeee meeeeee!" Z said singsong, catching up to him. "Besides, this is just one way of not resulting to my "nasty temper" as you call it."
"Hey, Z! Push your own cart of luggage." Neph said, pushing the cart into Z and let go. "I'm only responsible in picking you guys up, not become your servant." Neph caught up with Kunzite and left Z fuming over having to push such a heavy cart. Neph patted Kunzite in sympathy, "Come, let's just enjoy the day. I also share the same wonderments that you do on younger brothers. Amazing, how they still want to be spoil by us and at such an age."
"Hey, don't make yourself sound so wise! You're the same age as me!"

As the three walked away from the airport, the author decides to stop for now and leave you to ponder which senshi meets which general. Care to take a guess. I have finally introduced the guys. I felt I was spending way too much time with the girls. I hope this chapter was okay, I felt as if this wasn't in the same tone that I had started with the first chapter. But thank you for reading! Love the R&Rs!!!
