Yay! Okay well this is the end.
Of what I wrote before Silver and Gold ended
Don't freak.
I actually wrote more, just for a later part.
I expect the next chapter up by Sunday at the latest.
P.S. Since this chapter FULL of Minako cursing, here's a funny tidbit: Cassi (KiwiGal) NEVER curses... except when she's playing video games...
"Where am I?" Minako asked herself lazily as she woke up from a deep sleep.
"With me." Came a masculine voice, whose owner's face she couldn't recall.
"Who are you?"
"Your future husband. Or should I say, past husband as well?"
"I was never married in the past, idiot." Minako said realizing that she was standing, and upon further inspection, found her hands were chained to the wall above her head and her ankles chained near the floor. "Who the fuck are you and why am I here? Show your face."
"As you wish." The voice said as he stepped forward into the dim light. Minako peered at him for a minute, memories of the past flooding to her mind.
"Oh gawd. You are that damn fucking annoying general of the Venusian army." Minako's cheek hit the wall as she was roughly slapped across the face.
"You will have more respect for your husband!"
"Make me." Minako hissed through her teeth, stiffening her body and readying herself for what ever he might pull next. A queer smile passed her captor's face, before he thrust his body against her, covering her lips with his.
"This is disgusting..." Kunzite mumbled as he ran through passage after passage. He had made so many wrong turns, he was starting to get worried. Finally he found a corridor that had obviously just been used. Setting his eyes on the ground, he followed foot prints which were obviously not Minako's. following these for almost half an hour, he found a partially open door.
Peering into it, he found it to be a small room with only a ladder inside a hole in the floor. Stepping quietly into the room, he slowly made his way to the ladder. Forgetting to follow the footprints, he walked quickly towards the ladder, accidentally setting off a trap. Kunzite dove towards the hole as arrows shot out of the walls. He slid across the floor, falling head first into the depth below as a lone arrow pierced his left arm, going fast enough to go right trough the outer part of his arm. Grabbing on the ladder, Kunzite was able to stop his fall, dangling for only a few seconds before remembering Minako and starting to climb down the wooden ladder to yet another passageway. His pain was shortly forgotten as his sole purpose was to find her.
Luckily for Kunzite, this one didn't last long and it was not long before he found Minako. Looking into a door-less doorway, her saw Minako's chained form behind a taller man, who was, as far as Kunzite could tell, sexually harassing her. Clutching his stinging and wounded arm, Kunzite made a quick attempt to pull him gun and threaten the man away from her, only to find that his gun was not were it normally was. Cursing to himself, he decided to wait until he gained a moment to attack.
"Why did you bring me here?" Minako yelled, the second her lips were released.
"You used too be quieter in your last life." The man said rubbing his ears. "Just look at what you are wearing Princess Minako, don't recognize it? While you were on the moon with that damn Earth general, your father and I came to an agreement. You were to marry me. Unfortunately you were delayed with that man, and you were killed before I could wed you. You are wearing your wedding dress."
"Lucky for you. I would have teleported you to the worst depths of hell."
"You don't know how to teleport someone to a place you don't know."
"Ha." Minako smirked. "You doubt the stone warrior has been to hell once or twice?"
"Yes. Besides, I would have taken your powers away."
"What the hell are you talking about? You can't take away powers as strong as mine." She said confidently, shifting slightly in the full gown she was dressed in. The fabric was certainly out of place in the dungeon, as it was a pale peachy-pink silk. "So you brought me here to steal my powers?"
"And to make you my obedient wife."
"Did you kidnap the other girls here?" she said losing her smirk.
"Yes, I was having problems finding you so I just captured every girl that matched your current qualities. As for how I knew about your reincarnation and all of your statistics, I found my way into the Moon's main computer."
"What did you do to the other girls you captured?" Minako said, glaring at him with pure hate.
"You really want to know?" her captor said running his finger down her cheek.
"Yes."
"Raped and killed them. They weren't worthy of your character."
"Bastard." Minako said clenching her fingers into fist and clamping her eyes and lips shut. Without warning, she cried: "VENUS STAR POWER!"
Memories of the night of the dinner flashed back to Kunzite's head as the woman in the room was engulfed in orange and yellow. Minako was the blond solider in park? He would have contemplated this further, but a strong rush of desire had engulfed him, making him wish to behead the man in the room for touching HIS, goddess. Kunzite felt a warm, but slightly painful sensation near his shoulder blades. Ignoring it, he was about to charge in when Minako had already finished the situation.
"You are going to die today." She hissed, readying an attack after her bonds had melted away in a golden flame.
"Minako, I always loved you, I only wanted you to my self." The man now backing towards the wall.
"Yeah shit that! I have had to kill the two men I have ever loved! You killed girls who had a future! Loves! LIVES! You don't deserve living! LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!"
"Damn Venusian general." Minako muttered to herself as her opponent melted away to a pile of dustand she flicked back her hair. "Can't villains leave anything anymore? No rocks, no random object. NO FUCKING CLUES ON WHY THE FUCK THEY ARE FUCKING HARASSING ME!"
"Oh fuck..." Minako whispered as she turned to the doorway to see Kunzite standing there, his face stone-like and unreadable. "Just like the first time we met in the Earth palace..."
Minako's face paled dramatically before she made a quick observation of the room, and seeing that the doorway was the only opening, she dashed towards it. She shrieked when she was caught about the waist. "Let go! You have no business with me!"
"You are my partner after all Minako." Kunzite whispered as he held her to him.
"I am Sailor Venus! Not Minako!" she wailed, thrashing back and forth as Kunzite still clung to her, her back pushed against his chest.
"I have been standing at the door for some while Minako."
"Then why didn't you save me, asshole?"
"I was going to, but you didn't seem to be in danger at the time. And I couldn't find my gun."
"Then you shouldn't have come! He could have killed you!"
"Who was he?"
"Nobody." Minako said quietly, teleporting the two back to their room and de-transforming back into the wedding dress. Gently sliding out of Kunzite's arms, she walked to the telephone and punched in a few numbers.
"Hello Natsuna." She said in a sober voice. "Mission is accomplished, and sorry to make trouble but it was another class D... Yes I understand... No, only dust... I'm fine, I'll check on Kunzite... May we have a flight home? Tomorrow... okay. Thank you, if Telena calls you tell her I'm coming home in three days... I'll find somewhere, probably Rei's, I'll talk to you about it when I get back. Goodbye."
"We have a flight home in the morning. Wakagi will be coming to pick you up." Minako said without turning to Kunzite. "Were you injured?"
"No, I don't think so..." Kunzite lied, attempting to ignore the fierce pain that attacked him.
"Sit on the bed and remove your shirt."
"Why?"
"So I can dress your wound." Minako said keeping the monotone she had acquired since they arrived back in the room. Watching Kunzite from the corner of her eye, she searched around the room until she had found her first-aid kit. Filling a large container with water, she took one of hand towels she had brought from home, and sat down on the bed behind him.
"Minako, what's wrong?" Kunzite asked, her lack of kinder speech starting to bother him.
"Where did you get this cut?" she said, wetting the cloth and cleaning the dried blood.
"A bobby trap in the passages." was the soft reply.
"Asshole. You should have never left here without your gun anyways." Minako soon after she had bandaged Kunzite's arm. Her eyes moved down his back to see right by his shoulder blades black markings, as if something black had tried to come out of his body.
'Shit...' Minako thought. 'He's still a deamon... I don't want to kill him... I love him. Not because of the past because of now.'
"Minako, that hurts." Kunzite said softly after trying to endure the pain for a while. Minako swiftly removed her hands from where they had been touching the first signs of his demonic side returning.
"It wouldn't have if you didn't leave! You know better than to leave without your gun!" Minako argued.
"I didn't get hurt there..."
"...but..."
"I think I just pulled something..." Kunzite lied, remembering the sensation he felt when he found Minako.
"Where is my gun anyways?" He continued, standing up and searching the room. Turning around after searching for a few minutes, he saw Minako holding it in her lap.
"Did you hid my gun?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I didn't want you to come after me."
"Why not?"
"Because I could handle it myself." Minako said, adding to herself 'Because I would never forgive myself if you got hurt when I had a chance to prevent it.'
After the bandaging, the day passed slowly as Minako had decided to cut communications between the two. Kunzite entertained brief thoughts that she was mad at him for following her, but decided that was crazy. Minako was reasoning with the two sides of her mind, the one said that she could never see him again because he knew she was a Senshi and the side that said she should tell him her feelings as she knew they were returned. By the time the two boarded the plane the next day, the first side won.
The two got off the plane about two hours later, not a word had been said by Minako although she was awake the whole time. With their suitcases in hand, Minako lead the way down the long corridor opening up to the main terminal. A man with slightly messy sandy hair was standing in the walkway, eyeing the people walking off the plane.
"Hello Wakagi." Minako said bowing to him slightly. "If you will excuse me I must make a call. Kunzite is to go with you, I will find my own ride when I find out where I am going."
"Hello Minako." Wakagi answered, a bit surprised by the short woman's greeting. He had expected (and readied himself) to have been pounced on and hugged until they got inside his car. "Hello Suranda."
"Toshio." Kunzite said bowing his head slightly.
"Minako you are coming with me okay?" Wakagi said, lightly attempting to take the suitcase Minako held in her arms. "Sakurada would like to talk to you and hear your report. I would glad to take you home though if you would rather report in tomorrow, but Sakurada would love you to come now."
"Let me make a phone call and then we can go. Thank you Wakagi, I think it would be good if I talk to Natsuna today..." Minako mumbled to herself before walking off to the women's bathroom and digging around her bag for her orange cell phone.
"What did you do to her?" Wakagi said fiercely, turning to Kunzite.
"What are you talking about?" Kunzite responded, surprised as he had always thought of his boss as a rather passive person.
"Minako, what did you do to her? I've never seen her act this way, not even when Sakurada tells her to behave for an inspection of some sort!"
"I didn't do anything! She hasn't talked to me almost at all today!"
"She's going to hear us. Be quieter." Wakagi said, turning his back on Kunzite and waiting for Minako.
Minako sat on the counter with the sinks inside the bathroom and flipped her cell phone open. Pushing the red button, she put the phone to her ear.
"What is it V? You didn't ring for help." A voice came a second later.
"Hey Rei. Mind if I sleep over for the next few days? By the look of all the tourists in the airport you could use an extra hand in taking care of the shrine."
"I could actually, but why aren't you going home?"
"Telena would drive me insane right now." Minako said twisting her hair around her finger.
"You don't sound very happy, your case go well?"
"Links to the Silver Millenium." Minako said, almost being able to see Rei's eyes widen as she would slowly nod her head.
"There is something else bothering you."
"Yeah, but I'm not in a good place to tell you. I'm going in to the office for a little while, would you send Yuurichio to get me when I call you?"
"I can't let him go, first of all he is my only helper right now and his wife would kill him for driving past his house with a hot girl in his car."
"I'll catch a taxi then. See you soon."
"Minako, I have a guest here who would love you drive you. They will pick you up the second you call." Rei said, hanging up before Minako could reply. Minako looked blankly at the now closed phone for a second or two before exiting the bathroom and walking towards her escorts.
"Ready?" Wakagi said, taking Minako's backpack and placing his arm around her in his mind a way to protect her from Kunzite, and in her mind a brotherly way, as the two had become good friends despite her now only slightly receding childhood crush on him. Kunzite sulkily walked behind the two, glaring holes in his boss' head. Upon reaching the car, Wakagi ceremoniously held the door open for Minako and 'forgetting' about Kunzite, put her bag in the trunk and sat in the driver's seat. Kunzite grimaced and added his suitcase to the trunk and sat in the backseat.
The ride was pretty much silent other than the radio and Wakagi's accounts of what had happened while the partners were away. Before too long the trio was walking through their office building and Wakagi was ushering Minako and Kunzite into Sakurada's office.
"You are finally back!" the police prefect said happily, swirling around in her chair. "Wakagi, you can go if you wish, I don't mind if you stay though. Minako, Kunzite, please sit. Minako, what's wrong?"
"Natsuna..." Minako paused, still standing barely inside the door. Bowing, she continued: "I would like to resign."
Yeah yeah, I know, short. I'll be writing more soon though!
(hahha! I had a cliffie!)
