Chapter 3 ½
Once again, all characters are property of Naoko Takeuchi and Toei animation. I have no money to buy rights to these characters unfortunately.
I apologize for taking so long to update! I'll be quicker with the next one. I promise!
Anyway, on with the story!
Further delay part 2
Kunzite! Report to the throne room immediately!
They eldest Shittenou's eyebrows involuntarily twitched. Jadeite definitely struck a nerve.
He sighed and fastened his cape on the epaulettes of his uniform, at least he had enough time to get dressed after that highly embarrassing episode.
^*^
" One is not so intimidating in a pink towel now is he?"
Nephrite snickered, "you wouldn't think that the great and terrible king would use a neon pink towel." He downed his second scotch as he proceeded to glance out the window. " You didn't say anything, did you?"
"I wouldn't dare mention it" Chimed Jadeite while swirling his martini glass. "Besides, I noticed his eyebrows were twitching involuntary."
^*^
Kunzite appeared in a spacious room that was eerily enveloped by a dark, dull rock face.
"You were almost late Kunzite." The glare of the throne room's wall seemed more ominous than usual.
"I apologize my queen" as Kunzite bowed
"No matter, we still have business to discuss. Now how far have you progressed in your research?"
"At this point in time, my main associate is assisting with administrative duties, concerning the ginshou. Much of the research right now is inconclusive, Queen Beryl." Her eyebrows knitted together.
"When will we reach a definite conclusion?"
"Within a month."
The queen leaned back on her throne to ponder these words. A month was much longer than she wanted to consider.
"I agree with your terms. Be sure it's completed," Beryl ordered in a businesslike manner, "Before you go, I require an investigation report on subordinate youma. You are dismissed, Kunzite." The first king of the Shittenou nodded as a streak of energy appeared behind him.
^*^
Zoisite was once again bowing to the porcelain throne. The nausea had been relentless since Kunzite left. His curls were splayed in every direction. Sweat was running down his face as he shivers from a fever. A solitary tear rolled down his cheek, heaven forbid anyone noticed it.
"What the hell is happening to me?" He groaned. The pain was a throb. Now it escalated to as if a dagger were piercing through him. Nephrite didn't even beat him this hard. The youngest King curled up into the fetal position to relieve some of the pain. Suddenly, he saw a few sakura petals flutter weakly from his hands, maybe he could work a small healing spell. The ones Kunzite-sama used to soothe aching muscles. In his final attempt to numb the pain, He placed the feeble spark around the pain inflicted area. His last reserves of energy completely depleted, everything went dark.
The end!
Yes the authour left a cliffhanger, but this was the advice of someone else. Props to barrelracerDE for all the inspiration.
