DISCLAIMER: No profits, just fun. I do not own anything related to BSSM.
Seiya stood in the midst of Kunzite, Jadeite, Zoicite and Naru. Every step he took was countered by one of the men, like a perversely complicated dance.
‘What the hell?!?’ Seiya thought as he made another attempt to escape his tuxedo clad captors.
‘This has got to stop,’ Seiya thought. ‘Wait, they’re all in formal wear.’ Seiya realized that the men were dressed identically, like Tuxedo Kamen. ‘Mamoru must have warned then to keep me away from Usagi. Damn him!’
Seiya could not understand why these men were willing to stand up for Mamoru. Then a light went on.
“Say, you don’t look familiar. Have you known Mamoru and Usagi long?” Seiya asked Kunzite. “I don’t recall seeing you the last time I was in town.”
Kunzite chuckled as he shot a glance to Zoicite form the corner of his eye. “I’ve known Mamoru for what seems like a millennium.”
‘That’s who these jerks are. Those cursed generals,’ Seiya thought. He remembered coming across information about the unfortunate earthen generals. Men so consumed by jealousy of the Moon Kingdom’s power that they allowed the dark energy of Metallia to conquer their beings.
‘These men have deceived Usagi just as Mamoru did.’ Seiya mind sought out a way to get to Usagi.
“So when did you meet the destined couple? Jadeite asked.
Seiya knew this was just another attempt to keep him there. I met Usagi about five or six years ago.”
“Interesting,” Zoicite commented.
Seiya searched for his diversion, when she walked into the room. Makoto, Rei, Minako and Ami returned to the reception hall to help the guys.
“Hey Makoto!” Seiya yelled.
“Oh shit. He actually showed his face.” Makoto looked at her girls for some indication of what she should do. Ami gave the signal to go. Confident with Ami’s advice, Makoto ambled toward Seiya.
“Mako-chan, wait.” Rei grabbed Makoto’s shoulder.
“What is it Rei?”
“Look at who Seiya is with.” Rei motioned toward the group around Seiya.
“Kunzite, Jadeite and Zoicite. What of it?” Minako seemed annoyed. There were more important things to worry about than who Seiya was chatting up.
“No Minako. Look again.”
Minako took a closet look at the group of people. “Is that Naru?”
“I’m sensing a dark aura around her. I’m not sure what’s going on, but it’s not honorable,” Rei commented.
Makoto’s face expressed an inner turmoil that neither Minako nor Rei could comprehend. “I can’t -- I can’t go over there. Not now.” Makoto’s face was flushed.
“Mako-chan, what’s wrong?” Minako probed.
“It’s Nephrite,” Makoto whispered.
“What does Nephrite have to do with this?” Rei asked.
“Naru said that she was okay with me and Nephrite, but I don’t believe her. She was too calm when she found out. Now she’s all buddy-buddy with Seiya. It just is a little too strange for me.”
“What?! You and Nephrite?” Rei was shocked. She figured that they were not going to let the generals back into their lives, at least not so easily.
Minako smiled inwardly. She was happy for Makoto having obtained her heart’s desire. However, she knew that this was not the time to gossip.
“Rei, we’ll hash this out after we make sure Mamoru and Usagi are safe.” Rei nodded. “Rei, since Makoto is unable to go to Seiya, will you go in her place?” Once again Rei nodded.
Rei began to saunter toward Seiya. Jadeite looked over his shoulder and watched as Rei glided through the crowd. He sighed.
‘There has to be a way to make her see,’ Jadeite thought.
Seiya notices Jadeite’s fascination with the ebony haired priestess. ‘This is my chance.’ Seiya sidestepped Jadeite and ran for the service entrance at the rear of the hall.
“Kunzite! Get him!” Minako surprised herself by instinctively calling out to Kunzite. At the same time, Minako sprinted toward Seiya, reaching him before Kunzite.
“Seiya, please. Not today. You can talk to her later. Not today Seiya. Not today.” Minako smiled weakly as she pleaded.
Seiya looked down at Minako. He closed his eyes and grabbed her by the hair.
Minako gasped. “Seiya, don’t do this.”
Seiya laughed. “You and these fools are trying to keep me from Usagi. Can’t you see that Mamoru’s no good for her?” He shook his head in disbelief.
“I’ll give you a choice Minako. Either you can tell me where Usagi is or I’ll kill you and find her anyway.” Seiya did not wait for Minako’s answer. He threw Minako into the wall.
The instant Seiya released Minako Kunzite lunged toward her. He was not able to prevent her from hitting the wall.
“Minako!” Kunzite caught Minako as she slid down the wall. “Dear God.” Kunzite cradled Minako in his arms. Kunzite looked up to see Seiya escape into the stairwell.
‘Nephrite, get them out now! He’s in the stairwell.’ Kunzite hoped that Usagi and Mamoru were far-gone.
The throng of guests was thrown into a state of pandemonium. Zoicite ran to the band area and grabbed the microphone.
“Everyone, please stay calm. What I need you to do is vacate the premises in an orderly fashion. None of you is in any danger, but I think it is safe to say that the reception is over.” Zoicite put the microphone back in its holster. He walked over to Kunzite and Minako. Zoicite looked down at the injured senshi.
“Minako, can you hear me?” Zoicite knelt next to Kunzite. Kunzite looked into the eyes of his old friend. Zoicite nodded slightly and began to examine Minako.
“What…are…you…doing?” Minako uttered as Zoicite’s held his hand just inches above her chest. She attempted to sit upright, but as she did a searing pain overtook her. Her breathing became labored and beads of sweat appeared on her brow.
“Don’t move Minako. I believe that you got a fractured rib.” Zoicite waved his hands over Minako’s ribcage. Minako felt bandages wrapping around her.
“I didn’t know you could do that,” Minako whispered. She leaned back into Kunzite. Kunzite gently embraced the golden haired goddess.
‘Soon all will be set right. Usagi and Mamoru will get to live the life they were denied last time. I will be the woman I love. Crystal Tokyo shall be born and flourish.’ Kunzite’s thoughts were consuming him when the weakened voice of Minako was heard.
“Usagi, where’s Usagi?”
Kunzite looked around and noticed that Jadeite, Rei and Ami were gone. “Don’t worry. Jadeite, Rei and Ami went after Seiya. Nephrite is positioned in the stairwell. Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna are on the roof, alone hopefully. Hotaru is on standby, just in case.”
Minako sighed. She was angry that Seiya took her out so easily. She was the leader of the inner senshi. It should not have been that easy.
Kunzite could feel the anger in Minako rising. ‘She’s mad at herself for letting Seiya get past her.’
Kunzite looked at Zoicite again.
“I’m going to check out the action on the roof.” Zoicite ran through the doorway and up the stairs.
Makoto was about to follow her friends when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Naru.
“Naru, this isn’t exactly a good time.”
“Funny, it seemed like a good time when you were kissing my Nephrite.”
“Naru, I know you’re upset, but this really isn’t a good time.” Makoto turned to leave when grabbed her.
“Hmmph, I don’t know what he sees in you. Whatever it is, it won’t last long. Men like Nephrite like women that make them feel like a man, not women who want to be a man.” Naru released Makoto and walked away.
“The nerve of that chick.” Makoto ran for the stairwell. She wanted a piece of Seiya for what he did to Minako.
Kunzite was worried about Minako. She was uncharacteristically quiet. He put his chin on top of Minako’s head. “Are you…okay?”
Minako allowed herself to smile. “I’m about as okay as a woman thrown into a wall by a gender-bending extraterrestrial could be.”
Kunzite laughed, but stopped himself as soon as he started. He hadn’t heard his own laugh in so long that it startled him.
It was now Minako’s turn to inquire about well-being. “Kunzite,” Minako slowly turned her head to look him in the eyes. Kunzite lowered his head to meet Minako’s. He placed a gentle kiss on her unsuspecting lips.
“I’m sorry,” Kunzite said as Minako pulled away. “I’ve overstepped my bounds. Forgive me.” The white-blond prepared himself for Minako’s wrath. Kunzite closed his eyes and waited for the fallout.
Minako placed her hand on top Kunzite’s. She said no words as she interlocked their fingers.

“Out of my way. I know she’s here. I can feel her,” Seiya screamed at Nephrite.
“I can’t do that.” Nephrite was stalling. I f he could keep Seiya from the roof for a couple more minutes, Usagi and Mamoru would be a safe distance away.
“What is with everyone today? You’d think I was trying to destroy the universe or something.” Seiya took another step toward Nephrite.
“Look, I don’t want this to get physical. I think you should wait for Usagi to contact you. It’s in poor taste to spoil a woman’s wedding day.” Nephrite grinned.
“Come on. Let’s go get a drink.” Nephrite closed the gap between he and Seiya. He placed a shoulder and started to walk down the stairs.
Seiya seemed to go willingly. He was determined to see Usagi, but he knew any more collateral damage would be, well, damaging. The voice in Seiya’s head was ebbing. Logic and reason were taking over.
‘Kami-sama, what have I done?’ Seiya’s thought went to the golden haired woman lying on the floor of the hall. The scene replayed in Seiya’s head. He saw Minako standing in front of him saying something. He could not hear though. The sound was muffled. What he saw next horrified him. Seiya saw himself throw Minako. ‘I did that?’
Seiya took another step when the other voice in his head returned.
‘Seiya you fool. Don’t you hear it? Listen.’ Seiya paused and made an effort to hear that which the troubled voice in his head referred. Seiya heard a faint beating sound.
“What -- that sound. What’s that sound?” Seiya looked at the door at the top of the staircase.
Nephrite could hear his heart pounding in ears. He had used magic to soundproof the stairwell. Otherwise Seiya would have heard the helicopter right away. Somehow, Seiya had gotten past the magic.
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Nephrite turned Seiya around. “Let’s get that drink.”
Seiya slapped Nephrite’s hand away. He walked up to the top of the staircase. The beating was louder. Seiya placed a hand on his chest to make sure it wasn’t his heart.
‘Open the door Seiya,’ the voice in his head commanded. ‘You know she’s on the other side.’
AN: How was that. Sorry for the cliffhanger, but I must leave something for the imagination. Otherwise, why would you want to check out my next installment?
I want to take this time to thank LightningStrikes. You have been a help and whether you know it, you gave me a reason to keep writing this.
Everyone else read and review. Or this could be the last chapter you read. I know plenty of you read and don’t bother to review. I do it myself. That doesn’t mean the cycle of inactivity should continue.
I love you all.
