Deathy: Okay! Here we are! Now, for the sake of not confusing everyone, I'm listing the Shitennou's Earth names and ages. Kunzite – Shin Saitou (28), Nephrite – Masato Sanjouin (22), Jadeite – Jadeite Taitou (21), Zoisite – Izono Saitou (19)
Thank you everyone who reviewed!
Vchanny I'm hoping to move the story along soon, hopefully in the 6th or 7th chapter.
Chapter 6:

Jadeite woke up bright and early. He scanned the kitchen and found the box of tea. He began making it and also put on some coffee. The other guys would need some to get their brains functioning. He looked over the kitchen for anything he could make for breakfast. He didn't want to show up at his mother's starving. He spotted bread and peanut butter.
Izono walked into the kitchen, rubbing his eyes. "Morming." He mumbled.
"Morning Izono." He bowed his head. "Would you like some tea?"
"Sure." Izono plopped his head on the table.
Jadeite arched a brow at Izono. It wasn't like him to wake up early. But it wasn't like him to be so groggy when he got up. Izono was always full of energy. He slid his hand over to the 19 year old's face. He touched his cheek. "You feel really warm. Are you okay?"
"Really?" He looked up at him with glassy eyes. "Maybe it's because I was cuddled up in a blanket."
Jadeite put his hand on his forehead. "No. You're running a fever." Jadeite poured him a cup of tea. He began rummaging through the cabinet for some kind of soup. He found some cans of chicken noodle soup. They were dusty, but they were something. He check the expiration date on one of the cans. It was good for another year. He bit his lip as he looked back at Izono.
"Whassa doing?" He asked.
"Finding something for you to eat. I want you to stay in bed today." Jadeite ordered.
Izono shook his head. "Gossa go. Gossa go." He mumbled.
"Not with a fever." Jadeite pulled out a bowl and began to search for a can opener. He glared at the drawers. No can opener. What kind of person has cans but no can openers?
"Bus mudber." Izono sipped on the tea. "And fabber."
"They'll just have to wait until you're better."
"Nos." Izono whined.
"Drink your tea." Jadeite ordered as he continued his search for the can opener.
"What's going on you guys?" Masato asked as he walked into the kitchen.
"Morming!" Izono waved.
Masato arched an eyebrow at the strawberry blond. "What's wrong with him?"
"Where do you keep your can opener?" Jadeite asked.
Masato opened a drawer and pulled out the silver can opener. "I didn't buy any can goods."
"No you didn't. But Izono needs soup for his fever." He took the device and began opening the can.
"Is that safe?" Masato pointed to the can.
"Says it is until next year."
"I don'ts has a fever." Izono stated.
"What do you mean by fever?" Shin walked into the kitchen. He placed his hand on his forever. "How did you get a fever? You've only been human again for one day!"
"I no has fever." Izono stated as he drank the rest of his tea.
Shin gave him a skeptical look. "I go for a run and you get the fever." He grumbled as he walked to the room Izono slept in. He tsked as he saw bed. It hadn't been slept in. He noticed the notebook on the bed and picked it up. "Izono!" He called as he walked into the kitchen.
"Yes." Izono answered.
"What were you writing last night?" He held the notebook in front of young adult.
Izono stared at the book. "I was scribbling some music."
"For how long?" Shin interrogated.
"Well, I thought it was an hour, but then I came down stairs and saw Jadeite." He gave a weak smile. Jadeite put a glass of water in front of him as he pulled the steaming hot chicken noodle soup out of the microwave. He stirred it some as he waited for it to cool down.
"No wonder you have a fever." Shin stated. "You over worked yourself." He cracked open the book to read.
"No!" Izono jumped over the table to grab the book. "You can't read it!"
"You've always let us read over your work before." Nephrite grabbed the book and held it out of his reach. "Why can't we read what you have?"
Jadeite placed the bowl of soup on the table and sat Izono up straight. "Just eat some chicken soup."
"But you can't read it. It's not ready to be read yet." Izono pouted as he took in a spoonful of soup.
Nephrite ignored the red head and cracked opened the book. Shin stood beside him and the two skimmed over the page. The two smirked and Izono sank in his chair. He continued eating his soup. He knew it would be impossible to fight it now. They were already reading the notebook. Jadeite came over to join them. It didn't take long until the three were all beaming smiles. The page contained scribbled music notes and a few poetic verses.
The door bell sounded causing the four men to jump. Masato answered the door and arched a brow at the blond teenager.
"Hello miss Aino." Masato greeted. "Shouldn't you be at school?"
"Oh, I have the day free." Mina waved it off. "I came over to see how you guys were doing today?" She walked in to the kitchen and smiled at the other three men. "I figured I could help give you guys a tour of the area since a lot of stuff has changed since then."
"Well, Masato and I have to go visit my mother and his aunt. But Izono is staying here since he has a fever from over working himself last. But if you want arm candy while you walk around town today, you can have Shin. He has no plans." Jadeite stated matter-of-factly. Shin looked at him with an annoyed stare.
"Over worked?" Mina gasped as she looked at Izono. He was already feeling a lot better thanks to the soup. "What were you doing?"
Izono shyly looked away. "Writing some music." He answered.
"He does it every so often. And every time he gets a fever because of it." Shin stated as he gave his younger brother a chiding look.
"I understand. I get like that sometimes when I'm practicing my singing." Mina smiled. "Can I see it? Or is it not ready to be seen yet?"
"It's not ready."Izono glared at his brother who was holding the notebook.
Shin smirked. "Have a look anyway. Maybe you can give him some constructive criticism." He handed her the already open notebook.
Mina skimmed over the page and smiled. "Aw. It's a very sweet poem. I think it still needs a little work but it's good." She stated.
"Thanks." Izono said eating another bowl of chicken soup that had been placed in front of him. He felt relieved that the sailor scout of love didn't mention that it was about Ami.
"You're not going to tease him or meddle?" Shin rested his head in the palm of his hand.
"Why would I tease him? I think it's great that Izono wants to be friends with Ami-chan." Mina beamed. "Though you might want to change some lines because it could be read that you want to date her instead. Were you thinking about one of your old boyfriends when you were writing?"
Izono sucked in a breath. She thinks I'm gay. She thinks I'm gay. His brain kept chanting this as he finished the last of his soup. "I probably was." He lied. "I did date a guy who really loved to read years ago." He put his bowl in the sink. "I'm sleepy, so I'm going to bed. I'll probably sleep all day. Mina-chan can you take Shin-onisan with you? I don't want me to be stuck here all day." Izono gave her a sweet smile.
"Sure! No probable Izono-san." Mina smiled.
"Please take good care of Shin-onisan for me." He bowed. Izono grabbed his book and went to his room. He tossed the book in the drawer before collapsing in his bed.
Downstairs, the other three shitennou were very confused. They all could have sworn that Izono was straight. Sure, he was effeminate at times. But he confirmed having a boyfriend at one point. Jadeite and Masato gave Shin a questioning look. Shin shrugged to communicate that he was just as surprised.
"Well, we had best be going Masato!" Jadeite stated, grabbing the brunette by the arm and turning him towards the door. "We'll see you guys later." He waved as the two left.
Shin sat at the table while Mina stood. The room was quiet. The silence was deafening. Mina, however, felt that she had just dragged the poor Izono out of the closet. She felt guilty, but wasn't sure what to do.
Shin was trying to figure out if his brother had lied to Mina or had been keeping secrets from him. It was giving him a headache. Why didn't she speak? Why didn't she try to take his mind off this confusing train of thought? I hate silence right now. "So where do you want to go first?" Shin asked as he shot up from the table. He needed fresh air and distance from this house. He would talk to Izono later.
Mina jumped back at his sudden movement. She never seen the silver head male act like this. She just stared at him with her mouth open.
Shin just walked to the door and opened it. "We'll figure out on the way then. Let's go Aino-san."
"Yes!" Mina ran to the door.
