Life for a Dark Kingdom warrior was certainly not a stroll through the park. Most of the days where what people called "blue days" where you felt as though a giant whole would open in the ground and swallow you up completely, or you at least that's what you wished. For Jadeite these days tended to come up for him more than they did for the other warriors. Being the lowest in rank was a constant reminder that he was disposable and everyone knew that the lower your rank the shorter your lifespan. Queen Beryl had no use for weaklings in her army; all this pressure was much to overwhelming for a twelve year old boy.
Looking over his shoulder to the sound of sudden creaking Jadeite saw that Zoisite had ultimately gotten his wish and was now running out of the stuffy room that he had been in the past hour. Kunzite, never too far behind him, followed Zoisite to the garden with an unreadable expression plastered on his face and his hands clenched at his sides. Zoisite's face gleamed with absolute happiness as he sprinted towards the sakura trees, all the while yelling at Kunzite to try to keep up with him. For most people this would have been enough to shake them out of their stumper. However Jadeite was most definitely not most people and the feeling of his heart being ripped open returned with more power than it previously held.
That's when Jadeite decided to see if the gods really despised his existence. Calmly striding over to where the other two Shitennou resided Jadeite braced himself for his fate. The whole time Zoisite had been out he had not noticed that Jadeite was there, but this was to be expected from a child who only had eyes for sakura. As Jadeite strode closer both of the Shitennou finally acknowledged his presence by bringing their gaze to meet his. Kunzite's facial expression remained unreadable but Zoisite's face lit up with enthusiasm at the sight of closest thing he had to a friend.
"Jadeite! I've wanted to see you all day. Where's Nephrite? Ah, well I don't care about that bastard…," Jadeite held back a smirk as Kunzite nudged Zoisite on the back with his gloved fist. "Language", he muttered. Zoisite simply glared at his mentor with his beautiful, feminine eyes in return. Now was the perfect time to strike. As Zoisite turned his head back to face Jadeite, he leaned forward and kissed the side of Zoisite's mouth. Both of the Shitennou eyes widened in surprise and if looks really could kill Kunzite would have killed Jadeite at least eight times by now. After the shock wore off Zoisite's expression returned to his previous smile and simply laughed. "You're funny Jadeite. If you wanted a kiss you should have just asked for one," he said through his smile. Much to Jadeite's delight and Kunzite's horror Zoisite kissed Jadeite on the cheek in return for the kiss that he had been given.
Apparently this had been more than enough for Kunzite as he snatched Zoisite by his petite wrist and proceeded to drag him away. "Eh, Kunzite-sama what's wrong? Why do we have to leave now? I wanted to play with Jadeite," Zoisite whined. "I think you have had enough free time for now," he turned to face his student, "and don't question me. Understand?" His student nodded out of fear and silently followed his mentor back into the hallway. Jadeite, pleased with himself, now found that the gods did indeed hate him but not as much as they did Kunzite.
