*********************
The dark-haired girl closed her eyes as Minako agreed, falling asleep within seconds. Minako stared at her friend and the peaceful smile of Rei's features, quietly dreading her reaction when learning of tonight's plan. She just prayed that Rei wouldn't take out her temper on Jadeite, for she was quite sure he wouldn't live to see another day.
*******************
The sun streaming through the windows alerted Minako that the heavenly guide had already completed more than half of its daily route, and that the afternoon session was about to begin.
She gently shook the raven-haired girl sleeping peacefully next to her, but Rei simply turned to her other side, snuggling deeper into her covers.
*Poor thing, she must be exhausted.*
Minako thought to herself. Rei was never known to refuse a wake-up call. As a matter of fact, back at home, Rei was usually the first one up in the morning, before slipping into Minako’s room and giving her a ‘rude awakening’, which consisted of her either dumping water over the princess or blow a fog horn right next to her ear. Of course, Minako had wised up after a few times, and double-checked her door and window every night before she went to sleep to make sure that they were locked. A wicked grin grazed her face as something occurred to her.
*A perfect time for payback.*
She slipped off into the privy, moving as quietly as a cat, and thanked Hermes* that the door wasn't squeaky, knowing
fully well that Rei was a light sleeper, and if she ever got wind of Minako trying to give her a ‘wet’ awakening, well… she didn’t want to think about the consequences. She dumped her hand into a bucket of water that was standing next to the sink, and shivered lightly at how cold it was.
*It wont’ get any warmer when it lands of Rei*
She sneaked out again, and in a violent motion, sprinkled the water form her hands onto Rei’s sleeping, sun-warmed face. The other girl sat up straight in bed with an ear-breaking screech.
“MINAKO! YOU’RE SO DEAD.”
The other girl giggled lightly, dancing out of the reach of an enraged fire maiden.
“I’m not. Wait you hear this.”
She lowered her voice to a conspiratorial whisper.
“Tonight, Jadeite will transfer a part of his power to you, which consists of you lying face-down on his bed and him straddling you.”
“WHAT?”
******************************
Simultaneously, five men and two young women jumped a feet into the air, abruptly breaking up their conversation as a roar shook the floor above them.
“WHAT?”
Jadeite raced out his chair like lightning, taking the stairs two at a time. The rest of the people left in the room shot a look at a smirking Kunzite, before following Jadeite’s lead, leaving Kunzite to walk calmly after them. He, alone of the generals, had a good idea what the roar was about. And sure enough, the rest of the generals were waiting impatiently in front of his door. He smirked, slipping a hand all too calmly into his pocket, and muttered a silent spell. The door stopped glowing blue and he inserted the key, moving extra slow as he noticed Jadeite’s foot tapping in annoyance. The sight that greeted them was enough to make even Ami smile. Minako stood of to one side, her eyes closed in concentration as a golden force field surrounded an extremely irritated Rei who was, just to note, sweeping random fireballs at the shield. The golden princess opened her eyes as the hear the door open, pleading
“Someone, who has water magic, help me. It’s too hot.”
Jadeite laughed, but a look from Minako silenced him. It wasn't annoyed or even angry, but mischievous and contemptuous. He was starting to feel queasy. It was only the second day he'd known the princess, but she was already turning out to be pretty unpredictable, and so far, the surprises had been mostly unpleasant.
Zoicite, next to him, had created a soft mist, and it drifted gently toward Minako, settling on her. She sighed, giving him a grateful smile.
"Thank you, General Zoicite."
She grinned sweetly.
"Now, here's how we can 'solve' Rei's little tantrum. As long as we leave General Jadeite in here, the rest of us can disappear safely."
Jadeite blanched. He seemed to have gotten on the bad side of Rei, AGAIN.
"What did you do?"
Minako feigned a look of great surprise.
"What, little old innocent me? Nothing!"
"Then why is she this angry?"
"Because I enlightened her of your little nasty intent?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh, as if you didn't know."
"I don't know!"
"Oh, really, General Jadeite? What about that power transfer tonight?"
"Is that why she's angry?"
"Correct, Jeddy."
Jadeite visibly winced at the use of that nickname.
"Why?"
Minako put a thoughtful look on her face.
"Well, let's see. Maybe because she hates you?"
Rei, still inside the force field, strengthened Minako's point by yelling out at that moment.
"If he lays as much as a finger on me, I swear on my life that he'll spend the rest of his days as a woman."
Jadeite winced again. He was unbelievably proud of his masculinity and had absolutely no desire to become a girl. His thoughts were broken by Minako's ominous voice calling to her friend.
"Rei-chan, I'll let you out of the force field if you agree not to fry anyone or anything besides Jeddy."
"With pleasure!"
Shooting Jadeite an evil grin, she let the force field come crashing down before rebuilding it before the blond General who was trying to leave.
"Now, now, Jeddy, don't disappoint Rei by leaving."
And with that, she and the rest of the Generals snuck out (after making sure to lock the door with the strongest spell she knew), leaving a frightened Jadeite facing an extremely angry Rei.
**********************
Minako clapped her hands, smiling brightly at the circle of men and women who were staring her with either amazement and/amusement. Emerald was the first to speak, breaking out in tears of laughter.
"Topaz, you're the cruelest princess I've ever known!"
Minako grinned brightly at her.
"Yea, you see, it is what makes me so ... special. I'd believe you'd all hate me if I whined and complained about everything and followed protocol to the letter, huh?"
Zoicite smiled, agreeing with Emerald.
"True, true."
Ami, however, looked anxious.
"Will he be okay?"
Minako choose to answer her.
"I assure you, Ami, there's no need to worry; he's capable of handling himself, and he also has the power of fire. If you'd want to worry though, I'd suggest you pray for the furniture and hope neither of them would set it on fire."
Everyone laughed at that while Ami blushed.
***********************
Minako flopped down gratefully on the bed after dinner. She was tired, exhausted, and wanted nothing more than just to drift off into dream land. The afternoon had been ... interesting.
She had beat Emerald, using her sword as a shield, so that the other girl's arrows had glanced off, and she had admitted defeat after Minako had gotten close enough to break her bow.
She had, however, lost to Zoicite. Minako grimaced, angry at herself for losing to the joint THIRD general. His weapons had been a pair of ice blades, and Minako had found one of them pressed against her throat while she had been busy keeping an eye on the other.
Nephrite had been next. She had dodged his whiplashes with relative ease. He had really been trying, even though she had 'accidentally' overheard Kunzite telling Nephrite that if he found as much as a single red mark on her, he would take off his second's head. She had grabbed the whip, masking a grimace of pain as it wrapped harshly against her gloved hand. Then, he'd danced to her tune. Keeping a strong grip on the whip, she'd attacked, and Nephrite had been busy trying to avoid her sword and regain control over his weapon again. As an act of mercy, she'd finally yanked it out of his hand as he managed to evade an particular dangerous move, unconsciously loosening his grip.
Since she'd already had beaten Jadeite, he was allowed the doubtfully pleasant job on calming down an agitated Rei, and was not even present.
Kunzite, now... She grinned, mentally correcting herself to call him Kunz. He would have been a worthy opponent. He'd lost to her faster than Jadeite, and the rest of the people present had stared at their leader in shock. He had simply shrugged his shoulder, sending a little smile her way, and strode off. She had caught up his him when he'd rounded a corner, and jokingly called him a sore loser. He'd returned her grin, and muttered in a voice full of delicious promises that he hadn't lost because she was better, but because he'd "never met an opponent as enchanting as her”, before placing a quick kiss on her lips.
Minako blushed at that thought. She sighed, her face turned toward the ceiling. He really was handsome, sinfully so. No man had a right to be this good-looking! It simply wasn’t done. If he hadn’t kidnapped her, she would have been delighted
to know him, but it seems that even with all his ruthlessness, she was falling for him. Minako shook her head violently. She’d only known the man for two days, for heaven’s sake, how could she even THINK about liking him? But, no other man had ever made her feel like this, not even her fiancé. She furrowed her brow. Adonis was the last person she wanted to think about now. He had been a childhood friend, son of a nobleman. She had practically grown up with him, and had never thought that anything could come between their friendship. But she’d been wrong. He had been caught… She closed her eyes, trying to rid herself of the unpleasant thought, though the mental picture was burned into her mind. The face, however, changed. Long silver hair replaced light blond, and steel-gray eyes with a touch of lavender took the place of blue ones. Minako nearly growled in frustration. This was not supposed to be happening. A hand came up to touch her lips, and the frown turned into a dreamy smile. No one kissed like the silver-haired general did. She closed her eyes, remembering every detail. He had smelled so good, to fresh. His arms and chest had been bundles of steel, but his lips had been incredibly gentle and sweet as they had danced with hers. He had tasted like strawberry mixed with honey. His lips had become like a drug to her. She hated him when he kissed her for taking such liberties, and sought after it every time she saw him, awake or dreaming.
*Snap out of it, girl.*
She commanded herself sternly.
*You’re not supposed to be daydreaming about him, you’re supposed to be concentrating on finding a way out.*
The little nasty voice sprung to live in the back of her mind.
*Do you really want to?*
*Shut up.*
*Fine. But just remember you liked it when he held you, kissed you…*
*Go away.*
The little voice was drowned out by Jadeite opening the door.
"Yes?"
Jadiete stood the door way, looking a bit sheepish.
"Well, I was wondering if you'd be willing to channel the power so I don't have to transfer it directly to Rei."
She raised and eyebrow.
"May I ask why?"
"She won't let me touch her at all."
Rei's voice sounded out of the room.
"And I intend to keep it that way."
Minako yelled back.
"If you hate Jadeite so much, then why are you still in his room?"
"Because the bastard tied me up!"
Minako shot Jadeite a horrified look, and bolted into his room, muttering so softly so that only he could hear.
"Jeddy, you better do something nice for her, or you'll be deader than dead. She's brilliant when it comes to thinking up torturous ways for a person to die."
She hurriedly untied Rei, and motioned for Jadeite to leave the room. She didn't need to tell him twice. Those angry amethyst eyes had been shooting sparks at him for hours, and recently they had turned into a deadly violet.
As soon as Rei was loose, she turned to Minako, infuriated.
"Mina-chan, how could even think of that bastard touching that royal skin of yours?"
Minako laughed softly.
"It's okay, Rei-chan. We won't have the power transfer until you're ready for it, all right? If you'd like to give the men any command, just tell me, and I'll give it. They can't and won't dare to disobey a person who has the magic of their Head General flowing in her veins."
Rei hugged Minako gently.
"Thanks, Mina-chan. You're the best."
"So you say."
"So I know."
