Chapter 3: Not Interested
You guys reviewing has really had an effect on how long it takes for me to update. I'm usually a lazy ass and won't update for a couple of months, but I'll update as soon as I can on this story for all those that review! And by no means is this a way to bribe you into reviewing, just a mere thanks and praise!
I really need to start re-reading what I write so there won't be nearly as much errors as there are when I first put up a new chapter. I get so excited I finished the chapter up I wanna put it out as soon as possible. But I will be correcting them and reposting them up (fyi). My point is I'm sorry for all the mistakes!
Now that I'm done boring you to death with my excessive blabbing, hear is the next chapter you really want to read!
A little note for all you reading this, I will mention earth speaking English and that being the language. I am aware that there are other languages spoken in earth than English, but in my story, everyone some how learned to speak it and it is there first language. Sorry if I offend anyone.
Disclaimer- Unfortunately, I still don't own them. Maybe next time............

"You know," Usagi said in between spoonfuls of ice cream. "This is the bestest ice cream I've ever tasted!"
They had gone shopping as soon as they dumped all their luggages at the inn they were staying in until they set up residents in the palace. Well, Artemis and Luna would stay at the inn and communicate with them using Ami's new product. They had been dying to meet this Luna, but when they had gotten there, she was no where to be found. She had left a note, saying she'd be back later.
After they had finished shopping, they had gone out to eat at an outdoor restaurant. But as soon as they had sat down, Rei sensed someone staring at them and found that the general called Jadeite had been looking at them. Not wanting him to know that they knew each other, they had left and gone somewhere further away from the castle.
Rei rolled her eyes. "Please, you always say that when you get new ice cream."
Usagi stuck her tongue out.
"Don't stick your tongue out unless you're going to use it."
Usagi choked on the spoonful of ice cream she had stuffed in her mouth seconds before Rei's comment.
Makoto laughed as she pointed at Usagi. "Man! Your face was priceless!"
"When you choke, it brings out your eyes," Minako said absentmindedly.
Ami looked at Minako worriedly. Minako would say some random things sometimes. She got up and tapped Usagi on the back until the blonde woman had stopped coughing. She smiled at Usagi who thanked her.
Minako was busy looking at the outfits to really pay attention to what anyone else was saying. "You know," she said after a minute of studying the clothes, "these outfits are really ugly." She finished voicing her thoughts.
"You are a librarian." Makoto pointed out.
"You're a cook." Usagi said, trying, in vein, to make it sound like being a cook was a bad thing.
"I'm a chef." Makoto corrected.
"Are you sure you don't want to be what I am?" Rei decided to ask, although she already knew the answer to the question.
Minako smiled. "Sorry. If it's bugging you that much, I can suffer a little to see you so happy." Minako teased, taking a sip from her drink.
"I get to work in the medicine area and the scientist area." Ami also took a sip from her soda, smiling a little as she did so.
"How is that fair?!" Usagi asked, narrowing her eyes. She was stuck being a stupid maid.
"I know! Anythings better than personal slave! For christs sake, I am not sleeping with that guy!" Rei rushed out in an angry tone.
"Maid, you're a personal maid." Usagi piped in, trying to make Rei feel better. Rei shot her an angry look at her attempts.
"You don't have too. It's up to you whether you want to sleep with him or not. We never said you had too." Minako had a half bored expression on her face.
Makoto nodded her head. "No one's forcing you to do anything you don't want to do."
"No, but it's implied. The only reason we got all that information on the other missions was because Minako slept with a guy or another," Rei snapped at them.
Minako blushed. "That's not true. Plus you don't need to sleep with them to get information, there are other ways." Minako was still blushing, she never liked talking about her love life. She was a hopeless romantic, reading all the novels and wishing that a prince charming could sweep her off her feet. She was great at setting people up with one another, but when it came to herself, she couldn't do worse. She always had trouble with her love life, or lack there of.
"Don't worry about it, Rei-chan. If he tries anything, just kick him in the balls, or call us and Mako-chan would be happy to kick his ass!" Usagi exclaimed happily.
Makoto nodded her head and cracked her knuckles to show she agreed.
Ami smiled weakly. "Now Usagi, don't always assume Makoto can take everyone on. Hai, she is strong, but she'd be stronger with us helping her."
"Ami!" Minako exclaimed in a surprised tone. "Are you saying that you'd help kick this guys' ass?" She smiled devilishly.
"Don't put words in my mouth, I said nothing of the sort." Ami couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face.
Her friends smiles were contagious and soon Rei was smiling with them. "Thanks guys. But I think I'm going to head back to the inn. I guess we're starting tomorrow, ne?"
"Yea and don't worry about it, if you don't want to do anything, don't." Ami smiled, trying to make Rei feel a little bit better.
Rei nodded her head and turned to leave, the scowl on her face apparent. She couldn't help but be mad at them, if only for a little while, but she never stayed mad long. The only reason she was in this position was because of them. . . They so cheated, somehow. . .
"You think she's ok?" Usagi asked, her voice laced with worry as she rested her chin on her hand.
"Yes, she'll be fine. Hey, I think I'm going to go. I'll talk to you guys later." Ami got up and headed the opposite way Rei had gone. Where to, the other three girls didn't know.
Makoto examined her outfit, which consisted of the normal cloths for a chef including the famous white hat. 'Great,' she thought. 'I'm going to look like a complete fool with this damned hat.' She loved to cook, and when she was younger she loved wearing the stupid hat, but it was so out-dated now. No person in there right mind would wear such a hideous thing now.
"I'm not wearing that weird looking head thingy," Usagi said suddenly, pointing to a black headband made up of the same material as her outfit.
"You don't have too," Minako commented with a wave of her hand.
"What do you mean I don't have too?" Raising an eyebrow, she waited for a response.
"It means," Minako started, sounding like a parent talking down to a young child, "exactly what it sounds like; -you-" she pointed to Usagi. "-don't-" She made an "x" in the air with her finger. "-have too-" Giving up on the hand signals, she dropped her hands in her lap. "Get it?"
Makoto laughed, amused by the signals her blonde friend had used to show what she meant.
Usagi stifled a giggle. "Is that a trick question?" She asked, trying to sound serious. Apparently it worked because Minako sighed and placed her head on the table, rocking it from left to right.
This time Usagi laughed. Smacking Minako on the arm playfully, she said, "Kidding. I'm just kidding. Did you make me buy this stupid headband just to see if I'd wear it or not?"
Makoto hurriedly looked down at her hands, finding them amusing and Minako raised her head up a notch from where it had been resting on the table. Usagi noticed the grin spreading across Minako's face and pouted. "I knew it! You guys. . . you guys are evil!" She shot an accusing finger at Makoto, who was grinning madly.
"Save it for someone who cares. It would've been funny if you had worn it."
Usagi narrowed her eyes, brushing away her bangs from her eyes in a huff. "Well, it would've been mean!"
"Whatever," Makoto said, not really paying attention to her. "Let's make a mess so you can clean it up. I highly doubt you can clean anything decently from the look of your room." Makoto got up and a giggling Minako followed suit.
"For your information, you big meanie, I can too clean a room!" She got up and poked Makoto in the ribs.
"You only clean a room when you're looking for something you lost in the mess you made." Minako smiled cheerily, tossing back her golden locks.
"Can't argue with that. She does clean a room when she's looking for something. Guess you aren't useless after all." Makoto smirked arrogantly and got swatted in the arm playfully by Usagi.
"And what, may I ask, are you guys any good at?" Usagi asked, somewhat hotly.
Makoto shrugged her shoulders. "Must you ask? I'm the best chef in all the lands, there's no one in comparison. And I'm the strongest chick you've ever met, want anything else?" She smiled sweetly at her shorter blonde friend.
"I'm good at plenty of things. I am, after all, the goddesses of love." Minako said, using a nickname her friends had dubbed her awhile back.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Usagi eyed her friend.
"Something someone like you, with virgin ears, shouldn't hear," She grinned, a mischievous glint in her baby blue eyes.
Snorting in an unlady like manor, Usagi stopped walking and turned to look at Minako. "I might look innocent, but I know more than you think. I might not do the things you do during a mission, but I still know what goes on."
Makoto whistled, looking surprised at what Usagi had said. Minako blinked twice, not believing her ears at what she just heard. "Umm, new subject." The heat rose to her cheeks.
"I'm surprised to see you blush because of this topic. We all know what you do, it's no big mystery for us. So, why blush?" Makoto looked down at her blonde-haired friend, who was turning red with every second passing.
"Let's not talk about this."
"What's wrong, Minako?" Usagi asked, her voice laced with worry.
Minako smiled at them. "Must we really talk about this? I highly doubt you enjoy talking about my love life." 'Or lack there of,' she thought to herself.
Usagi shrugged. "Guess not." She started to walk again. "You know what sounds really good right now?"
"Hmm?" Makoto half listened to her.
"A brownie with ice cream on top." She smiled warmly at the thought.
Minako blanched. "You just ate, not ten minutes ago!"
"It's a wonder you still keep your figure after what you inhale in one day, Usa-chan!" Makoto patted Usagi's flat stomach.
"It's a gift!" Shrugging, Usagi smiled.
Ami weaved in and out of the crowds in the streets, looking for the library. She was hoping the palace wasn't the only place that held a library, they had to have a common library for the common folk, right? She decided to ask for help and stopped walking, looking for someone that good help her.
She saw some giggling blondes heading her way and wrinkled her nose, some things remained the same. Wherever they went, there always seemed to be blonde ditzes in the planet. She sighed, 'Not asking them.' She glanced around and saw a young man with his back turned around. He had long, wavy blonde hair that was tied near his nape.
She went up to him and tapped his shoulder. "Excuse me, I'm new here and I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of the library." She said in a quiet voice.
The young man turned around, his green eyes locking on to her blue ones. He gave her a charming smile that would have any other woman week in the knees, but Ami just gasped in realization. 'Shit,' she thought wryly, it just had to be him of all people.
Zoicite smiled down at the beautiful young woman with blue hair. She was gorgeous to say the least, with her short azure hair and sapphire eyes. She had milky white skin, and her cheeks were starting to turn a rosy color. His eyes traveled down, examining the fair lady.
Ami shifted uncomfortably, his eyes roaming her body was making her feel slightly agitated. First impressions meant a lot, and he wasn't getting a good score with her. She cleared her throat to get his attention. His eyes landed on hers again and he smiled.
"You must be new," he gave her a mysterious smile, "because I've never seen such a beautiful lady like yourself. I'm Zoicite, and you are...." He trailed, giving her an amusing smirk.
"Not interested," Ami said in a huff. Was this man serious? She wasn't some silly girl who never met a man before. She knew his kind and tried to avoid them as much as possible.
Zoicite's smirk disappeared. Well, that was a first. Ami turned around, forgetting about the library in a way to escape from the blonde man behind her. 'Great,' she thought to herself, 'he had to be one of those guys, I just hope I don't get stuck working for him.'
It didn't take long for Zoicite to shut his mouth, which was hanging wide open after her comment. He cleared his mind and jogged after her, looking around for azure hair. He caught her storming away to his left and ran to her and grabbed her wrist. She spun around, looking down at the hand that was holding her wrist.
"I'm sorry, I never caught your name."
"That's because I never gave it to you," Ami stared at him, her icy glare making him let go of her wrist.
"That's true. I'll show you where the library is."
"That's ok, I'll manage."
He smirked again, "Why don't you just let me show you where it is. It'll save you a lot of time."
Ami bit her lip. Should she trust him? She had read a lot about him, how he graduated a year early and was still at the top of his class, and became a general for the king, assisting him in battles and being a certified doctor. Well, he hadn't done anything that deemed him untrustworthy. . .
"Fine," she finally said, hoping she wouldn't regret it later.
He smirked at her and looped his arm through hers. She stiffened at his actions but found herself relax as they started walking towards the library. . . she hoped.
"You're not from here, are you?" He asked after awhile of silence.
Ami refrained from snorting. Maybe she read wrong, wondering if he really was worthy of being called a genius. "How can you tell?" 'Other than the fact that I mentioned being new here when I asked for directions.'
"Well, you mentioned it, and of course you have an accent. A very pretty accent I might add."
Ami felt the heat rise to her cheeks. She had forgotten she learned the earthling language a year ago. English was what Minako had said it was called. Minako was the only one who knew how to speak it fluently, before they learned it of course, since she had lived in a place called England before her parents died.
"Um, thanks," she stuttered. She looked up at him and saw something in his hair. Not realizing what she was doing, Ami reached up and brushed it off. She raised an eyebrow at him. He laughed heartily.
"Guess I didn't clean all of it off, huh? I'll let you in on a little secret, my friends and I had a little food fight." He smiled tenderly at the young woman.
Ami felt surprised at what he just shared to her. He was so opened to her, a complete stranger. She smiled a little, "You lost?"
"Of course not! Granted, I didn't win, but I came close to second."
Ami let the giggle escape her lips and smiled up at the young man who made her feel. . .
What? What was she feeling? She felt like she knew him somehow, she felt comfortable around him, although she just met him 10 minutes ago. She felt. . . safe. What was happening to her? She used to be so realistic. Used to be. . . she still was! 'What is wrong with me?!'
She quickly stopped laughing and felt her body go rigged.
Zoicite noticed her posture and whispered in her ear, "don't stop yourself from laughing. Your laugh is heaven to my ears."
He smirked as he saw her cheeks flush. Damn, did she know what she did to him? Somehow, this woman was different then all the others he had previously met. Not to mention he felt like he knew her from before.
"Well then, here we are, ice princess." He smiled as he pointed to the library in front of them.
Ami had almost forgotten about the library. She gazed at it, not really paying attention to what he called her, and a part of her didn't want to go.
"Thanks, Lord Zoicite."
"No problem, it was my pleasure. And please, call me Zoicite. Lord sounds so formal. . . I'd like to think of us on friendly terms, hai?" He gave her an amused smirk.
"Hai," Ami nodded her head. She couldn't help the smile that graced her face.
He smiled again and turned to leave, but her voice made him turn around again.
"Anderson," he heard her say before she turned and walked into the library.
"What's your first name?" He asked her, hoping she heard it.
"You'll find out sooner or later, won't you." She said more than asked, knowing the answer, before disappearing in the library.
He smirked. 'Guess you're right, honey, guess you're right.'
Ami watched as the strawberry-blonde young man turned around, a grin still plastered on his face, and walked away. She let out a sigh, wondering about the strange encounter with him. All of a sudden, her mind repeated a phrase he had said earlier.
"Well then, here we are, ice princess."
Her mind kept repeating that one phrase over and over again, and something in her mind clicked. . .
"A name tells a lot about a person, are you willing to risk that with me? I mean, once you tell me, I'll know almost everything about you."
"You told me your name."
"So I did." The young man grinned teasingly.
"Mizuno." She smiled back at him, before turning around and heading towards the palace's library.
"If you won't tell me your full name, then I'll call you my ice princess until you tell me!" He yelled at her retreating form, the grin still on his face.
"Then ice princess it is, my lord. If you want my name, you're going to have to find out for yourself. I'm in know way one of those high-pitched bimbos that follows you around." She gave him an icy smile and turned the corner, his form disappearing from her view.
Ami blinked several times to clear her mind. There was something seriously wrong with her, how else could she explain those weird voices in her head? Not to mention the images, or memory was it, that flashed in her mind. Both of them sounded familiar, but she couldn't place a finger on who they were. The feminine voice sounded strangely like her voice. . .
Before you guys bombard me with questions, let me answer them. . . and put more questions in your head!!! :)
Minako gets uneasy every time someone mentions the past missions and her part in it. I didn't make her a slut, so she DOES NOT sleep around in the missions. Her friends thinks she does, though. What she does (to get the info) will be discovered later on. . .
I know Artemis has white hair, not blonde. . . Once again, the story will mention why. . .
Ami had. . .italics means flashback or memory. . .put two and two together, that's all I'm saying. . .
I know Ami's last name is Mizuno, not Anderson. Anderson is her English last name. The girls ARE thief's. . . this means they don't give out their real names. . .and so when they meet the generals for the first time, they will give out false names. . . I decided to use their English names! Given Rei and Ami have the same name, just spelled differ. So, I have to change their names, any suggestions? Maybe Amelia or Amanda for Ami, and Reina or Reine for Rei. . . no clue, give me suggestions please!
And I know this is under romance (which it wil be) and adventure/ action........yea, about that part, I'm getting to it....don't rush me! :)
