Story #32! Happy Holidays from Sailor DKC! I hope everyone has had a
very good year, and I hope that next year will bring peace and
happiness.
This story is a one-shot, and it is not holiday related at all. It
stars the couple Kunzite and Mina. The inspired portrait is from
Ilsevet Waterborn, and you can find it at the site Generals Love.
When you see this *, I am describing the portrait in a scene.
I am borrowing the singer Jonah Araki from the sub episode #114 of
Sailor Moon S for this story. I also gave Kunzite’s character a last
name : Keith Etiznuk. It’s Kunzite spelled backwards!
Rated R for slightly adult situations and entertainment only. Have
fun reading! Naoko Takeuchi owns Sailor Moon, not me.
Dedicated to Ilsevet Waterborn. A very pretty drawing!

PEACE!
BY MY SIDE
By Sailor DKC
Mina stood by the other contestants, her heart beating rapidly. This
is the second time she is auditioning for the rock star, Jonah Araki.
Since the success of his first movie, his tours had been rapidly sold
out for that whole year. After taking a few months break to create a
new album, he made another beach movie. Both have also become great
successes. Now a mini-series is planned, and they are casting roles
for the leading lady who will play his love interest.
When it was her turn, Mina took a deep breath as she stepped up to
the microphone to present herself. She talked about being an Araki
fan, and that meeting him was a genuine thrill. It would also be a
wonderful experience if she did win and will be able to work with
him. And if she didn’t get cast, it would still be a great
experience. “I’ll leave today knowing that once again I had the time
to meet with Jonah Araki,” she said, proudly, then bowed as the
judges clapped and marked their votes.
After the presentation, the judges asked the contestants to wait
offstage as they tallied the votes. Mina looked around as she walked
off the stage, but could not see him. Sighing in exasperation, she
said to herself, “I can’t believe he’s not here yet!”
“Are you looking for me?”
Mina turned and gasped. It was Jonah Araki! And he looked better when
she last saw him. “Oh, hi!” she responded, dreamily. “I know you may
not remember me…”
“Minako Aino, isn’t it?” Jonah said.
“Oh, you do remember!”
“Actually, this is the first time I heard your name when you
auditioned today. But I do recall talking to you during my first
movie auditions a few years back.” The singer crossed his arms and
smiled at her, appraisingly.
“Oh, wow! I can’t believe I’m talking to you again! Jonah Araki
remembers me! Eeeeee!” she squealed as she bounced up and down,
clapping her hands.
“So do you want to see me for something?” he asked, giving her his
most charming smile.
“Huh? Oh! Actually, I was looking for my boyfriend, Keith (Kunzite).
He was supposed to be here to give me moral support.” Placing her
hands on her hips, she tapped her foot in annoyance and looked
around. “But, of course, he’s late. I guess he’s having a last
minute meeting with his co-workers at his publishing company.”
“Well, if he’s busy, perhaps I could keep you company.” Jonah sidled
next to Mina and draped an arm across her shoulders.
“Hmmm?” Mina looked up at him, blinking in confusion.
“Mina!” a deep voice called out.
Turning to the sound of the voice, she gave a great, big smile as
Keith came towards her and Jonah.
Keith swept Mina in his arms and gave her a big hug, but he kept his
eyes on the singer, arching an eyebrow. Jonah shrugged and smiled.
“I was just keeping her company, my good man.” Sticking his hand
out, he introduced himself, “Jonah Araki.”
“Keith Etiznuk,” he replied as he gripped the singer’s hand in a
strong grasp. Then he turned to Mina. “I’m sorry I was late, love.
The meeting went longer than I thought. Did I miss your audition?”
“Yeeeeesssss,” she dragged, giving him a scolding look. “But at least
you’re here to be with me if I get the part or not.”
“No matter what happens, you’re my leading lady.” He kissed her cheek
so tenderly, and she smiled happily, closing her eyes.
“Oh, don’t worry about that,” Jonah said. “I’m not one of the judges,
but I’m sure your lovely girlfriend will get the part. She has the
star quality in her. In fact, she’s born with it.”
“Why, thank you!” Mina beamed.
“How can you be sure of that?” Keith said, sternly.
“Keith, what’s with you?” She looked at him in confusion.
“You just got to believe in her. I do because she believed in me back
then.” The singer winked at Mina who blushed. Keith grinded his
teeth. He particularly did not like what was going on here. He was
about to say something when an announcement came over the speakers.
“ATTENTION, PLEASE! Will the contestants return to the stage? The
judges have made a decision.”
“Well, this is it!” Mina squeaked, excitedly.
“Good luck!” Keith praised.
“It’s in the bag!” Jonah assured. Waving to both of them, Mina walked
with the other girls back on the stage.
The judges declared that Minako Aino will be the leading lady for
Jonah Araki in the new mini-series. Gasping in delight, she stepped
up to the front of the stage, thanking the judges while the other
contestants clapped, some enthusiastically, some not.
Running off the stage, Mina jumped into her boyfriend’s arms. Lifting
her high so her legs bend at the knees, he swung her around. “Hey,
baby! You did it! I’m so proud of you!”
When he set her down, she babbled excitedly, “I can’t believe it! I’m
going to be on TV! I’m finally getting a break!”
“You deserve it!” Jonah commented, clapping. “Congratulations, Mina.”
Taking her hands, he held them up as he looked into her eyes. “I look
forward to working with you.” After squeezing them, he let go and
turned to walk to the other contestants. “If you’ll excuse me, I
must go comfort those who lost by giving them my autographed 8x10’s.
See ya!” he called over his shoulder, winking.
“Huh!” Keith muttered, crossing his arms.
“Is something wrong, sweetie?” Mina asked, frowning.
“No, nothing. C’mon, let’s celebrate your winning the audition.”
Mina was scheduled for a photo shoot with Jonah to be introduced as a
new starlet, days later. Keith attended with her, however, he felt
very uncomfortable when Mina and Jonah had to pose for intimate
shots. At first, it started innocently, like holding hands and casual
embraces. Only when they had to lean into each other as if they were
about to kiss did Keith start squirming in the folding actor chair
with his girlfriend’s name on it. Was it his imagination, or did
Jonah seem to be pressing his mouth against Mina’s forehead? Is he
pulling her closer? ‘Isn’t Mina going to stop him?’ he thought,
anger swelling in him. ‘Wait! She’s putting her hand on his chest.
She seems to be pushing him away!’ He rose from his seat as the
shooting finished.
“All right! That’s a wrap!” said the photographer, and the crew
started to pack away most of the equipment. Amidst the busy people,
Keith began to work his way toward Mina when he saw Jonah taking her
hands and kissing them!
“Hey!” Keith yelled, just as Mina snatched her hands away from the
singer, gasping at his outburst. Stepping in front of Mina, Keith
faced Jonah. “Listen, buddy! Posing intimately for the camera is one
thing, but when the shutter stops clicking, it’s hands off!” he
snarled, angrily.
“Keith!” Mina exclaimed. “It’s not what you think!”
“Really, man,” Jonah tried to explain. “I was just-“
“The next time you pull a stunt like that, you’re going to find
yourself wiped out in your next movie! And I’m not talking about
surfing!”
“Keith!”
“It’s OK. It’s cool.” The singer raised his hands up as he backed
away. “Look, uh, I’ll see you in a couple of days when we start
rehearsing, Mina.”
“Sure, Jonah.” Mina waved a feeble good-bye. As soon as he was
gone, she turned to her boyfriend. “Now what was that all about?” she
asked, furiously.
Keith realized that he made a complete fool of himself and Mina in
front of everyone. As they all stared, he started to pace back and
forth, slapping a hand to his forehead. “I’m, uh, I’m sorry. I just
didn’t like the way he held you during the shoot.”
She stared at him, incredulous. “For Venus’ sake, we’re just posing
for a magazine!”
“I know! I know!” He stopped pacing and looked at her. “It’s just,
just- I, I-“ He made waving gestures with his arms as if trying to
explain. “Oh, I can’t do this!” Abruptly, he turned and left.
“Keith!” Mina cried, running after him. They both left the studio,
with Keith walking very rapidly ahead.
As she chased him all the way back to his apartment, she thought, ‘It
couldn’t be because of when he saw Jonah kissing my hands? He was
just flirting with me, but I set him straight before that!’ She
recalled the singer kissing her forehead. Embarrassed, she tried to
pull back, but he held her tighter, whispering, “I think you’re very
pretty, Mina. I would like to get to know you.”
That was when she pushed at his chest, whispering back, “I have a
boyfriend, and he won’t like it if he heard what you said to me!”
When the photographer announced the end of the shoot, she continued,
“And I don’t like your behavior just now!”
Jonah let go of her and nodded. “My apologies. I guess I missed my
chance the last time we met. Oh, well,” he said, taking her hands.
“At least, working with you should be enough.” And he kissed her
hands.
Mina snatched her hands from him. “Jonah, please!”
“Hey!” Keith yelled. Hence the argument afterwards.
‘Was he jealous? He has no reason to be!’ Mina thought as she finally
caught up to him when they reached the entrance of his apartment
building. “Keith!” She grabbed his arm to turn him around to face
her. “What’s with you? Why did you ignore me like that?” She was
startled to see his saddened face.
“I don’t deserve to be with you,” he began. “Not after what happened
today. I was just so jealous of that Akari singer putting his arms
around you. I know that it’s just for publicity, yet I can’t help
facing the fact that I’ll lose you to someone like him!”
“Like him?” she said, frowning. “I don’t understand.”
“Mina, you’re on your way to have a starring career. You truly
deserve it, and I don’t want to be in your way. But I must admit that
I can’t bear it if I do lose you.” Bending his head in shame, he
softly murmured, “I love you so much, and I feel so horribly
selfish.”
They stood there, Mina looking at his bent head. Then she took his
hand and whispered, “Let’s go inside and talk more.”
They both sat quietly on the sofa as they heard soft background music
from Keith’s stereo system. “It’s funny,” Mina said. “that you’re
scared of losing me at the same time that I’m also scared of losing
you.”
“Lose me?” he asked, surprised. “How?”
“If I do have a promising career after the mini-series, I’ll probably
be swamped with auditions and film offers. Fingers crossed! Hee!
Hee!” she giggled, crossing her fingers. Then she grew serious. “But
I fear that I may not have enough time for you, and you may want to
let me go so I can pursue my dream.”
Moving closer, she draped her arms around his shoulders. “You don’t
know how thrilled I am now when you confessed you don’t want to lose
me,” she murmured, staring into his eyes. “Yeah, it was selfish, but
you love me that much. I love you that much, too. I want to stay with
you.”
Encircling his arms around his waist, he pulled her onto his lap and
gave her a gentle kiss. “So you’ll be by my side if you do become
famous?” he sighed.
Nodding, she snuggled closer. “And I want you by my side as I’ll
always be by yours.” Tenderly, she began to kiss all over his face.
“So, tell me, baby,” she whispered. “Were you really jealous when
Jonah pecked me on the forehead?”
“Mina, don’t change the subject, I-I-I-I-I-“ Keith rolled his eyes
in ecstasy as she nibbled on his ear. He started caressing her back
with one hand.
“Yes, what were you saying?” she murmured, after releasing his ear
and kissing all over his throat.
“Oh, oh, oh,” he mumbled as he felt her unbutton his shirt all the
way down and caress his chest with one hand. “Oh, nothing.”
They kissed slowly and passionately, hands caressing lovingly
everywhere. Gasping, Mina threw her head back as she felt her love
raise her top and gave her loving bites on her upthrusted breasts
supported by her push-up bra. Pulling away from him, she removed her
top as he removed his shirt. Reaching out, she caressed his chest
with her hands, then she bent her head to lightly kiss all over his
torso. Moaning, Keith caressed her back until he lowered her bra
straps, squeezing her soft shoulders and upper arms. When he finally
placed his hands on her still covered breasts and kneaded them
gently, she groaned and raised her head from his chest, wrapped her
arms around his neck, and kissed him fully. Slipping his arms around
her waist, he hugged her tightly as he kissed his love back.
Slowly, they both stood from the sofa and made their way to the
bedroom. They fell onto the bed and rolled around until they ended up
lying quite near the nightstand. Mina could feel him as he adjusted
against her while his arm reached out to his nightstand. Moaning, she
rubbed against him to let him know what he’s doing to her. Stifling a
grunt, he paused his movements to enjoy what she’s doing to him.
Shakily, his arm managed to reach the stand, and his hand reached in
the drawer to pull out a square-foiled package.
And all this time, they were still kissing.
Later, they held each other, under the sheets. “So, you’re not upset
over what happened today at the shoot,” Keith asked as he lovingly
kissed her forehead.
“I admit it was embarrassing, but I think I understand how you feel.
The way you’re kissing me now was different from Jonah. I mean, I
never cared for it because he wasn’t, you know,- you.” Mina raised
herself up to look down at him. “And it’s you I love.”
Smiling warmly up at her, he caressed her cheek. “I love you, too.”
“So if I become famous, will you stay by my side?” Mina bit her lip,
hope showing in her eyes.
Pulling her down to his lips, he whispered, “Always.”
They kissed.
A few days later, another photo shoot was arranged. While Jonah was
prepping with his make-up artist to get ready for his turn, a lot of
magazine reporters and photographers crowded around them, trying to
get an early statement, concerning the mini-series. There were a few
reporters and photographers focusing on Mina and Keith, also trying
to get some statements on Mina’s life. The couple posed for a few
photographs. One pose had her sitting on his lap.
* With her back facing the viewer, Mina turned her head to look
over her right shoulder and give a small smile, while Keith leaned
his head over her left shoulder, also giving a small smile. *
The interview finished with a question from one reporter. “And how do
you see yourself in the future, Miss Aino?”
Still sitting on his lap, Mina smiled up at Keith who gave her a
reassuring smile. “With my love,” she replied. “By my side.”

“I admit it was embarrassing, but I think I understand how you feel.
The way you’re kissing me now was different from Jonah. I mean, I
never cared for it because he wasn’t, you know,- you.” Mina raised
herself up to look down at him. “And it’s you I love.”
Smiling warmly up at her, he caressed her cheek. “I love you, too.”
“So if I become famous, will you stay by my side?” Mina bit her lip,
hope showing in her eyes.
Pulling her down to his lips, he whispered, “Always.”
They kissed.
A few days later, another photo shoot was arranged. While Jonah was
prepping with his make-up artist to get ready for his turn, a lot of
magazine reporters and photographers crowded around them, trying to
get an early statement, concerning the mini-series. There were a few
reporters and photographers focusing on Mina and Keith, also trying
to get some statements on Mina’s life. The couple posed for a few
photographs. One pose had her sitting on his lap.
* With her back facing the viewer, Mina turned her head to look
over her right shoulder and give a small smile, while Keith leaned
his head over her left shoulder, also giving a small smile. *
The interview finished with a question from one reporter. “And how do
you see yourself in the future, Miss Aino?”
Still sitting on his lap, Mina smiled up at Keith who gave her a
reassuring smile. “With my love,” she replied. “By my side.”
