Chapter 3 – the pain and the lullaby

Minako woke up, and saw a Caribbean blue, strapless dress, with a matching long, blue silk veil and matching court shoes. Minako admired the dress, until she noticed a letter, neatly folded, and it was attached to her dress. Minako picked up the letter, opened it and read it.

Dear Minako,

I hope that you must of noticed the letter attached to your dress by now. The dress lay out for; well I chose it for you. I thought, Caribbean blue suits you! Anyways, I anted you to join me for breakfast. I was also planning that you and I could pay a visit to the Crystal palace. I was also thinking that if you want to ride to palace, it's your choice, or we could fly there, together. It's your choice. Please tell what you think. Give your answer at breakfast!

Yours,

Kunzite

Minako held the letter close to her chest. She looked at the letter again and kissed it, as she slipped out bed, and stared at the dress her love had laid out for her. She smiled at the dress and thought to her self that "How did he know I liked Caribbean Blue". She looked out the window, and got dressed, and walked out her room and made her way to the dining hall, but Kunzite was no where to be seen. She pulled out a chair, sat down and waited for him.

####1hr 30mins####

"WHERE IS HE? HE MADE ME WAIT FOR 1 AND A ½ HORUS! DANM YOU KUNZITE" cried Minako, as tears streamed down her cheeks, but the doors burst opened, and one of the maids can crying in.

"What is the matter?" inquired Minako

"Master Kunzite … is … in … the infirmary" cried Raven, more tears streamed down her cheeks.

"What do you mean he's in the infirmary" asked Minako, with annoyance spreading through her features.

"A mysterious man, had entered the training grounds, and challenged Master Kunzite, to a duel, so he duelled him, but the man caught him off guard, and slashed his sword, on Master Kunzite's chest, and tore his uniform" expalined Raven

"HE WHAT??!" cried Minako, "Did you inform the generals and King Endymion" inquired Minako

"I did, they will arriving soon" replied Raven, as she wiped her tears, and looked at the young blonde girl with pools of tears still in her eyes

Minako ran out the dining hall, and open the doors of the infirmary, and saw Kunzite struggling to get away from the doctors. He was smeared with blood, and his ripped shirt, on the floor forgotten.

"I told you I don't want any treatment, I have my lady waiting for me! GET OFF ME!!!" demanded Kunzite, as he noticed Minako standing in the door way, with tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Minako? Urgh … Minako I can explain" grunted Kunzite, as he tried to move towards, but falls instead, due to the amount of blood he had lost. Minako moves towards him and places his head on her laps.

"Please don't cry Minako, I'm really sorry ... Urgh" started Kunzite, but the damage that was inflicted at him cause him to grunt in pain, every time he tried to speak.

"You don't have to apologize, Kunzite" cried Minako, and more tears fell, by looking at Kunzite.

"I just remembered you letter, I cherished it, thank you" added Minako, as she leaned forward He lifted his arm and placed his hand on the back of her head, pulling her face to his. She didn't resist when he deepened his kiss.

"I'm sorry I made you wait, I promise I will never make you wait, Minako,"

"I trust you with my life, Kunzite. I know that you will never break your promise"

As they finished exchanging their word, the infirmary doors open, and there stood Jadeite, Zoicite, Nephrite and King Endymion. They stared at the kissing couple, and lightly giggled. Minako opened her eyes, and shocked due to the surprise.

"Jadeite, Zoicite, Nephrite and King Endymion, what are doing here?" asked the embarrassed Minako, as hers and Kunzite's face turned red.

"Oh nothing" joked Zoicite

"Just seeing you two kiss" added Jadeite

"I never seen you act so ridiculous, towards a woman, Lord Kunzite" chuckled Nephrite, as the 3 generals couldn't help letting out a laughter.

"Enjoying, the rest, on Minako's laps" jerked Jadeite, as he laughed out loud.

"What happened, Kunzite?" inquired King Endymion.

"I was coming back from the training grounds, and a mysterious figure, entered my estates, and challenged me to a duel, so I duelled him, but he caught me off guard, and I got injured, and I noticed that the mysterious figure said if he can't have the Queen, he was going to have the cousin, that's all I remembered … Urgh, it hurts" grunted Kunzite.

"Jadeite, Nephrite you help Kunzite get back on the bed, Zoicite you help Minako up." The generals obeyed the orders, and did as their were told

"Kunzite you rest, and Minako, take care of yourself, and take care of Kunzite as well, we'll head back to palace" ordered Endymion

"Oh kunzite, we'll bring everyone to your estate tomorrow, be prepared" added Endymion, as he and other generals left the infirmary, and rode off.

As Minako was about to leave the infirmary, Kunzite grabbed her hand, and Minako turned around and smiled at him

"What is it, Kunzite, do you need anything?" asked Minako, with the smile still on her lips

"Please sing me a song Minako, a song of your choice." Requested Kunzite

"Sure"

Minako positioned her self, and started to sing.

A la nanita nana nanita ella nanita ella
Mi niña tiene sueno bendito sea, bendito sea
(repeat)
Ruiseñor que en la selva cantando llora
Calla mientras la cuna se balancea
A la nanita nana, nanita ella

Fuentecita que corre clara y sonora
Ruiseñor que en la selva cantando llora
Calla mientras la cuna se balancea
A la nanita nana, nanita ella

A la nanita nana nanita ella nanita ella
Mi niña tiene sueno bendito sea, bendito sea

Fuentecita que corre clara y sonora

As Minako finished the song, she noticed that Kunzite fell asleep. Minako smiled at him, and gently kissed his soft lips, and walked out the infirmary, she turned around, and looked at Kunzite one last time and said

"You really make me want to love. I fell I love with you, Kunzite. I love you." And she walked out, and was nowhere to be seen. Kunzite woke up after a few minutes Minako left. He remembered the lullaby she sang for him, and the word she said before she left. "I love you, you too Minako, I love you too" as he drifted to sleep.

Author's notes:

There is the meaning for the Spanish lullaby:

To the nanita nursemaid nanita she nanita she my girl has I sound blessed be, blessed be (repeat)

Fuentecita that runs clear and sonorous Nightingale that in the forest singing cries Silences while the cradle

itself balansea to the nanita nursemaid, nanita she

To the nanita nursemaid nanita she nanita she My girl has I sound blessed be, blessed be

Fuentecita that runs clear and sonorous Nightingale that in the forest singing cries Silences while the cradle

Itself balansea to the nanita nursemaid, nanita she

From the movie Cheetah Girls 2
