AN: Hm. Chapter Three! Yay I actually got this far! Well I hope you people enjoy it x3 Uhm. The MAIN part in this chapter was to show you that Crystal Tokyo is not so perfect. The part with Lita may seem confusing but you'll see more clearly what I mean later on in the story.
---------------------------------------------------------x
"Lita. . . I have to tell you something" Nephrite tensed up, "But you have to place the knife back down first"
The brunette removed a lock of her hair out of her eyes that had just fallen out of her wavy ponytail. Brining the kitchen utensil up she slammed it down harshly and began to slice small portions on whatever food was on the chopping block aggressively.
Nephrite raised an eyebrow at his love.
"Sorry," she apologized for her violent behavior. He cheeks turning a faint shade of pink, "I'm just so upset with that ass Jedite! Can you believe he is leaving Rei all alone to go on some stupid mission with Kunzite!" she growled.
"Well. . . thats kinda exactly what I wanted -" he started awkwardly, but she cut him off.
"How can he just LEAVE her at a time like this! You know shes just recovering from. . ." she let her sentence drag on and then continued, "What if it happens again because of all the stress he's been causing her!" her elegant fingers clutched the rubber handle of the knife solidly in her hands and glared down at the mess she had just made.
"I'm sorry Hunny." she apologized quickly and picked up the chopping board and scrapped the mixture down the sink, turning on the water she turned herself around to face the general, "What did you want to tell me?"
He froze. Zeus was definitely looking down on him today. "I have to go along with them" he mumbled.
"What did you say sweetie. Speak louder." she spoke over the sound of the draining water.
"I have to join the generals." he said again, louder this time.
"Nephrite if you want me to hear you speak up!" she instructed.
"Fine!" he shouted loudly. She turned so that the water wouldn't combine sounds with his words, "I'm leaving you to go away with the Generals, just like Jadeite!"
Her face went white. The rest of the cooks in the kitchen rushed out upon hearing the conversation that was meant for the couple's ears only.
"What!?!" she shouted her fingers slightly shaking. "Your not coming back aren't you! You all are leaving us and just using this mission as an excuse!" she falsely accused.
This was a repeat of last time. Last time the generals went away, and almost never came back. He regretted this every time he breathed, every time he woke up in the morning to see her elegant face, and every time he went to sleep and suffered another one of those nightmares.
"No. . .No" he said softly and then moved towards her.
She moved back, "Don't lie to me!" she growled, her fingers reaching for the knife she placed before on the edge of the counter.
"Lita!" he said louder this time as he moved further towards her, backing her up against the top of the counter.
Just as his skin touched hers, her skilled fingers grabbed a hold of the weapon she was reaching for. Taking on a tight grasp of the kitchen knife and picking up the knife to swing it back down. Nephrite saw the quick motion out of the corner of his eyes and instinctively grabbed her wrist.
She clutched her green eyes closed and squeezed her hands tightly to the handle of the knife, "Nephrite, let me go"
"Lita. . I will. . .If you drop the knife." he said slowly, one of his hands still clutching her wrist and the other wrapped tightly around her waist drawing them so close together that their was little space between them. "Please? . . .We can talk this through. And after I won't go if you don't want me to" he finished.
"Okay" she said slowly opening up her green eyes again and releasing her grip over the metal cutting device.

"Look Ami I wanted to know" Delete.
"Uhm. Ames, pick up the damn-" Delete.
"Hey, I l-" Delete.
"See I kinda-" Delete.
Ami through the blue communicator down onto the crystal made desk and glared at it. 106 messages from Zoisite. The nerve of him. She put down the plans for the new security system on the tables besides the communication device and leaned back in her chair. Taking a deep breath she decided she needed to get away from here for a little.
Standing up from the chair she walked over to the door and twisted the silver handle, leaving the room and forgetting to lock it behind here.

He pushed open the small crack of the library door, he could of swore he saw her enter here. But for what? Sure the girl was a bookworm but he highly doubted he would come to the Palace Library at 2:00 in the morning. He shouldn't be doing this. He though. They were supposed to be gone by now!
"I can't believe he would do that!" a small whine sounded muffled by something.
"Don't worry love, I'm sure that he has a reasonable explanation for it" a husky voice answered.
Jadeite smiled, guessing the blue haired senshi was talking to Zoisite about the trip that Kunzite was dragging them on. What exactly was this mission about anyways!? Endymion wasn't even coming with them, so it couldn't be a planetary affair. And having to leave their Prince unprotected for this must have been a big deal.
What was said next through Jadeite off guard, "I don't want MORE explanations, I want you Darien!"
He froze. Wait . . . did Ami just say she wanted DARIEN? That couldn't be possible. . .wait could it? Ami would never cheat on Zoisite. He knew little about the blue haired girl, but what he did know was that she was a very loyal person. Being attracted to Endymion would break that loyalty to both Zoisite and her princess. Ami was smarter then that. Jadeite took a deep breath and backed out of the doorway.
Rei used to like Darien. He shuddered, not liking to think about that part of her past in the 20th Century. Maybe it's just a crush? Like Rei had. . . yea, maybe the blue senshi was just upset and turning to a close friend. . . Who just happened to be her Princess' husband.
Something didn't sound right. Jadeite was about to go ask Rei what might have been wrong with Ami, but he decided against it. He was already supposed to be gone, Kunzite just sent him on this meaning-less task (Thats now not so meaningless) when Nephrite went to give his good bye to Lita. It was like Kunzite knew exactly where Ami would be and who she would be with. like he knew exactly what she was doing.
