Entry 7: Training Session
O.O.O
Prompt: Chain
Setting: Crystal Tokyo
O.O.O
"Take your time sweetie and focus," Sailor Venus instructed Sailor Chibi Venus. "Your chain is very strong today."
"She's getting better," Kunzite observed as he watched his youngest daughter. The young Sailor Senshi had created A Venus Love Me Chain, attached it to a hook in the ceiling, and was climbing it like a rope in gym class. She had made it half up, much farther than her previous attempts. "She might make it to the top."
"Hey Miwako!" Sailor Ceres shouted to her sister. "I ate the pudding cup you left in the fridge."
"You what?" Sailor Chibi Venus gasped. The shock broke her concentration and caused her chain to disappear. She would have slammed into the ground had it not been for the quick intervention of her father.
"Gotcha," Kunzite announced as he snatched his daughter from midair. "You okay cherub?"
Miwako nodded before shooting an angry look at her sister. "Meanie."
"Pedal," Venus sighed, addressing Sailor Ceres. "Your sister is still perfecting her technique. She doesn't need distractions. Also, dessert theft is a crime punishable by deep cleaning our wing of the castle."
"Oops," Sailor Ceres grumbled, realizing her mistake. SHe shook her head and crossed her arms. "Besides, you've been training me to be a leader. Doesn't a leader push their teammates to excel? If she can't handle a simple distraction it shows she has a long way to go."
"Motivating your teammates is important," Kunzite agreed, placing Sailor Chibi Venus on her feet. "However a leader must be abreast of their teammates strengths and weaknesses. Until she's able to make it to the ceiling while maintaining her chain, she isn't ready for more obstacles."
"I'm trying! I'll train even harder," Sailor Chibi Venus insisted, jumping up and down. "I want to make my chains as strong as Mommy."
"You have a long way to go," Sailor Ceres pointed out.
"Show me again mommy," Sailor Chibi Venus begged, ignoring her older sister's comment. "I want to see all the things I'll be able to learn."
"I suppose it would be a good way to wrap up this training session," Venus mused. SHe shot her husband with a devilish glance. "Of course I will need an assistant."
"Fine," Kunzite grumbled, knowing there was no use protesting when his wife had such a mischievous look in her eyes. He presented his hands as if ready to be handcuffed. "I'm in your care, your honor."
"Here we go," Sailor Venus announced, wrapping Kunztie's wrists together with her energy chain in the blink of an eye. "How do you feel? Are they heavy?"
"Light as a feather," Kunzite replied.
"And now?" Venus asked, snapping her fingers. Instantly Kunzite's elevated wrists dropped towards the ground and his knees buckled to keep himself standing.
"Heavy," Kunzite groaned through clenched teeth. "So heavy."
"Wow," Sailor Chibi Venus gasped as he watched her father struggle with the chains. "What else can you do?"
"I can increase the energy on it and make it explode but I won't do that to your daddy," Sailor Venus chuckled. "But I will try this!"
With a flick of her wrist, Venus willed the chains up and over Kunzite's head. The motion threw him off balance and caused him to fall onto his back w2ith his chained arms over his head.
"Papa?" Sailor Ceres cried with worry. Her smug exterior shattered with fear her father was hurt. "Are you okay?"
"Peachy," Kunzite grunted.
"See? Once you have better control of your chain you'll be able to perform many different techniques with it," Sailor Venus explained. She glanced at the clock on the opposite side of the training hall. "We should call it here for today. We have a reservation at that new Italian restaurant for dinner. You two go get ready. I'll untie your father."
The two Sailor Senshi in training transformed before making their way out of the training hall. Alone, Sailor Venus stared down at Kunzite with a mischievous grin.
"Now," Sailor Venus began, standing over her husband. "What should I do with you?"
"Mina-chan," Kunzite inhaled, his body tightening as he prepared for what was coming next. "We only have like 10 minutes before we need to get ready for our dinner reservation."
"I believe that's the very definition of a quickie," Sailor Venus explained, kneeling down until she was straddling her husband. "So are you in or should I just leave you chained here while I take the girls out for Italian food?"
"As if it were possible for me to deny you," Kunzite admitted, struggling against his chains to bend up and capture his beloved wife's lips in a hungry kiss.
O.O.O
A/N: And that's 7 for 7. Even if they are late. I'll work on getting my prompts done a bit early for the Jupiter/Nephrite week in December (Yes I will be participating in that too).
This collection was my first time writing CereCere as a character. What do you think? A girl who's a bit of a snob but when those she cares about are in trouble her true caring nature shows. Did I get close?
Reviews are love and they keep me going.
