Chapter Four:

Ami wandered around the room, grateful Zoicite had left her alone. She inspected the barred windows, realizing that even if she could get them off, she was four floors up, much too high to jump from. Sighing she walked over to the bathroom door, unsure of whether or not she should go in. 'What if I'm not supposed to be in here? Maybe I should have just stayed in the chair where he put me...I don't want to make him mad. He seemed upset enough when I cried.' Dismissing her fears with a quick look to the still locked main door she walked in.

Ami was equally surprised by the amazing bathroom, more of a spa. A large whirlpool tub sat in the center of the room, demanding attention, with blue tile and marble on the floor. Everything was blue she realized. A steam shower took up the far corner with double sinks beside it. She trailed her fingers across the counter top, strewn with flower petals. She gently touched the plush towels and sheer window curtains. She noticed a closet in the corner which, she assumed, contained the toilet. Everything else nearly made her forget where she was though. Sensing eyes watching her she spun around, coming face to face with Zoicite.

"I see you've found the bathroom Kitten. I certainly hope you like blue, it's my favorite color." He reached out and gently stroked her short blue hair, staring intently into her deep blue eyes. Instantly she began to shake again. Seeing the fear in her eyes Zoicite pulled back his hand, Ami could see the hurt in his face.

'It's as if he wants me to love him,' she thought, taking a step backward. 'Maybe he is just as scared as I am.'

"I'm sorry Sir, I didn't mean to snoop around in your room."

His face relaxed at the sound of her frightened voice, his hand raised to stroke her hair again, only slower this time. "You're not snooping, this is your home now too. And I'm sorry if I've scared you, I know you must be upset. Honestly though, it would be worse if Diamond had caught you, he has no heart." He reached down and clasped Ami's hand, holding it to his own, quickly pounding heart. He took another step closer to her, this time she did not move.

"I don't want to hurt you," he whispered to her, "please try and understand. I promise I wont do anything you don't want to." He released her hand but to his surprise she did not pull away, she just starred at him with a curious look.

"You saved us?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I'm not sure, at first I was just going to use you like all the other girls I've been with, but you're different. I can't do that to you, I want you to want me." Once again he grasped her hand, raising it to his lips where he gently brushed it with a kiss. From there he led her out of the cavernous bathroom and sat her on his bed.

"I understand that you're scarred, you take the bed tonight, I'll sleep in the chair. The maid brought up some clothes for you, they are in the dresser." She looked wary for a moment, wondering if he expected her to change in front of him. "Don't worry, I'm going to take a shower..."

He leaned over her, smelling her hair and kissing her head at the same time.

----------------------------

A low rumble rose in Rei's throat, he was back. 'Guess he didn't get a good enough beating the first time,' she thought to herself, before saying it out loud.

"As a matter of fact, I've decided it's your turn," he replied, stepping closer to her.

"You wouldn't dare hurt me," she scoffed, fear showing in her eyes.

"Wanna bet?"

"I'm not marked yet, you can't do a thing to me and you know it."

Jadeite grumbled dejectedly. He turned around looking at her untouched tray of food. "Weren't you hungry?"

"No..."

"Yes you are, look, I'll eat part of it if you want, just to prove there is nothing wrong with it." She eyed him warily but sat down to watch. He sampled a bit of everything, two bits from the dessert. Reluctantly Rei gave in to her hunger and ate the remaining food ravenously.

"Now that's better, I knew you were hungry. Princess, I think we got off to a bad start earlier, can we try again?"

"Ya, from the part where you kidnapped us..."

"Ugh, ok I'm sorry about that. Now can we try again?"

"Don't lie, you know you aren't really sorry. But ya, I suppose if you wish you may grovel at my feet, begging forgiveness."

"Your wish is my command your highness." Jadeite knelt on the floor, removing Rei's shoes and socks.

"Oh, will you ever forgive me for being a lowly peasant?" he cooed, massaging her feet and lightly kissing her toes. "Can you forgive me for kidnapping you? Can I make it up to you?"

"Mmmm," Rei sighed, relaxing deeper into the plush chair she occupied. Jadeite began working his way upward, parting her knees.

"NO!" she screamed, "I'm a virgin, and you haven't marked me yet, you can't do that!"

"Alright, I'm sorry...it can wait till tomorrow."

------------------------------

Mina too heard footsteps approaching her room, the thought of Kunzite walking back in the room gave her a strange feeling in her stomach. It was not entirely fear however. 'He's been very kind to me' she pondered, 'he hasn't forced himself on me, or even touched me really.' But before she could completely work out her feelings he had walked in the room.

'God she's beautiful,' he thought to himself, 'she is so frightened, so small. She's making me soft, I've never felt this way before.'

Kunzite approached the gorgeous blonde sitting on his bed. He sat down next to her.

"You know," he started, "you may have anything you want, anything at all."

"Except my freedom..." she whispered.

"You may have it if you wish, but I warn you, Diamond is probably patrolling this area as we speak, the moment one of his men spot you outside our gate, you're history. Diamond will not wait to mark you, if he bothers at all it will be a side note. Trust me, please. It's not so bad here is it?"

"No, I suppose not."

"Good, remember what I said, anything you want you may have...including your freedom."

"Kiss me." Startled, Kunzite's normally harsh exterior melted away, love shining from his face he cupped Mina's chin in his hand and delicately kissed her. Shivers of excitement shot down both of their spines as that one kiss developed into a series of passionate kisses.

--------------------------------

Nephrite walked slowly back to his room, feeling guilty about what he had done to Lita. 'I didn't want to scare her, I just can't help myself.' He entered his room to find Lita staring curiously at the intercom on his wall.

"Where does it go?" she asked.

"Anywhere in the whole Mansion, at least pretty much anywhere."

"Can I talk to my friends with it?"

"If you wish, but now is probably not a good time."

"Oh...I suppose not."

"I'm sorry if I scarred you earlier."

"I still hate you."

"I figured as much. I know it was wrong of me to kiss you, especially like that, it's just that when I look at you, I can't help myself."

"Well that's no excuse for kissing me, or anything else you may want to do. The fact of the matter is that you are spoiled, you are too used to seeing something you want, and getting it. It's inconsiderate people like you that have made the world what it is. You need to learn to stop and think about other people before you just take what you want."

"......No one has ever spoken to me like that, but I don't mind. You are completely right. Lita..."

"Yes."

"I know that you hate me, but may I kiss you?"

"Thank you for asking, yes I do hate you, no you may not."

"Ouch."

"You also need to learn to take rejection, you aren't always going to get what you want, even if you're nice."

"Yes ma'am. Sorry I asked."

"Don't be, it's the only way you'll learn"

-------------------------------------------

"What was that name mean ol' poopie pants used? Oh yeah, Rose. I don't think I like that, it doesn't suit you. Your eyes are so sparkly, I'm going to call you Diamond. Haven't I heard that somewhere before?"

Darien opened his door, he paused to watch Serena and her new puppy play. They appeared to be having a most serious conversation although the puppy only paid partial attention, having more fun attacking Serena's long hair." Then he heard something that turned his stomach into a thousand knots and made his blood boil.

"That's right little Diamond, you're a very pretty puppy-wuppy."

He was beside her in three strides, his eyes flashing he raised his hand to slap her, stopping as she screamed and ducked. Still snarling like one of his guard dogs he pulled her off the floor where she had fallen. He roughly grabbed her by the back of her head, bringing her within and inch of his own face.

"If I ever hear you use that name again, you will regret it!"

He shoved her onto the bed, snatching the crying puppy by the scruff of it's neck. He was about to throw the helpless canine across the room when a defiant Serena sprung to her feet, grabbing his arm and shoving him in return.

"How dare you hurt an innocent creature like that," she screeched, "she hasn't done a thing wrong. If I've upset you, deal with me, don't take out your anger management issues on a little puppy!"

Completely surprised Darien dropped the puppy onto the ottoman, slowly advancing towards Serena. She continued to back up until she hit the wall. He pushed himself onto her, kissing her roughly, smashing his lips against her own. He then grabbed her hips, pulling her into himself so she could feel him, all of him.

"You are mine," he growled, "don't ever forget that."

Serena had a look of complete shock and horror on her face but managed to nod her head, he then released her and stormed into an adjoining study, slamming the door.
