Well here is chapter two. It was not as long as the one before it because I got impatient with it. I hope this answers some of the questions about what the guys have been doing. Don’t know why I did another shower scene but I just start typing and whatever comes into my little head gets typed. Chapter 3 is getting beta’ed right now so that will be out in a few days.

Chapter Two
Disclaimer: These are not my characters by any means. However the baby when she is born will be. I am just barrowing these characters for my story.

“How did the stalking go last night?” A familiar voice asked, coming from the living room as Kunzite entered the four-bedroom house he shared with the other Shitennou.
Kunzite shut the door behind him, and out of habit locked it. There was no way anyone would ever really break into the house. He knew that. But this ritual only recently became part of his daily routine.
As he moved along the hallway with its stunning layout of blacks and gold’s of the Golden Kingdom, Kunzite followed the sound of the voice and stepped into the living room where low and behold, Jadeite lay sprawled out lazily upon the room’s only love seat. Opposite the sprawled figure of Jadeite, a big screen TV -- something Nephrite and Jadeite insisted they must have-- was turned down low, this piece of equipment surrounded by a couch, three armchairs and the love seat where Jadeite reclined. The wall at the back of the room contained three large cedar bookcases filled with books on astronomy, business management, and economics and sadly -- according to his companions -- Jadeite’s comic books. To keep the peace, everything in the house was shared equally between them, so Jadeites comics were stored with the books. On the left side of the wall was an extensive home theater system with five surround sound speakers.
“You going to answer me, or be a stone and admire the décor.” An insolent comment emerged from the love seat.
Kunzite narrowed his eyes, deciding that hitting Jadeite again would not be worth the effort. He had to jump in the shower and get ready for work. With their new lease on life, the Neo Queen gave them the means of taking care of themselves. The guys were reborn on the earth to new families. Families they’d had little time for except for Jadeite and Zoicite.
Kunzite worked as VP for his father’s architecture company, though not a job he ever really wanted, but it was something he had to do on his road to redemption. Nephrite worked his way through college, employed at the observatory as an assistant. His father ran and owned the leading agricultural company in Japan. He could have worked for his father, but Nephrite’s passion lay amongst the stars. Jadeite and Zoisite attended school, Jadeite hoping to become a game artist for his uncle while Zoicite had his eye on becoming a business executive within his fathers own gaming company.
Jadeite and Zoicite were cousins. Now and then, both asked why it was necessary for Neo-Queen Serenity to insist on this cosmic balance and have these two as members of the same family. It was beyond Kunzite.
Before Kunzite was about to turn to leave, Jadeite went off about Minako, suggesting he should simply go over there and tell her the secrets of the stones. That did it. If Jadeite had wanted a reaction, he definitely got one on this occasion. Kunzite strode angrily across the floor, wrenched Jadeite out of his chair, and in one swift movement struck the other man, giving him a bloody lip. Kunzite was getting ready to take another swing at Jadeite when Nephrite and Zoisite stepped in and pulled him back.
They had been expecting something like this for some time now. Jadeite, always harping on about Mina and getting on Kunzite’s case, not a subject one broached lightly, not unless you wanted to get your ass beat.
“Okay, get off him; you know he’s just being an ass because he is-- Jad. Why don’t you go cool off and get ready for work. Vent some of your frustrations out on your father’s minions.”
Nephrite pulled Kunzite off Jadeite who had a bloody and swollen lip and the beginnings of a black eye. Kunzite narrowed his eyes, glared at the sprawled figure in the chair, and stalked off to his room. Once he was gone, Nephrite took a swing at Jadeite and hit him flush in the eye.
“What the hell was that for?” Jadeite howled indignantly. Zoicite just laughed at his cousin as He rubbed at his face. He was not going to look pretty for a couple of days.
“You know what that was for. What have I told you about messing with him like that? Princess Minako is a sensitive subject and you know that. What would you do if he said something like that about Princess Rei?” Jadeite just shot Nephrite a dirty look and continued to wipe at his face. He could feel the bruises forming.
“That’s what I thought. Now get off your ass and get your face cleaned up. You have class in an hour. Enough laughing Zoisite you have class too. I need to go get ready for work.” Nephrite turned and walked away. He passed by Kunz’ room and peaked in. The bedroom was in its usual state of orderliness. The man was almost compulsive in keeping things nice and tidy. He heard the shower running and satisfied, Nephrite turned and left the room and crossed the hall into his own. Nephrites room was an assortment of pinks and greens, decorated in the same colors as his love’s fuku. The others ribbed him over his choice of décor, mainly Jadeite, calling him a whipped sissy, but each to their own.
Pulling a clean shirt and pants out of the wardrobe, Nephrite set these on the bed. He then went into his private bathroom, turned on the shower, adjusting it to the right temp, stripped and stepped under the Arcing curtain of water. Its spray soothed his body and he remembered the time he had last seen Makoto. It was the last time they had been together before he had been seduced by that bitch, Beryl.
.::. Nephrites Memories .::.
“What are you doing in my bedroom, sir?” Makoto put her hands on her hips despite being clad only in a towel. She had been getting ready to get into the shower, for she would never know when she would next get the chance again. Evil was marching on the moon kingdom and there was scarcely time enough for anything, but here was her lover dressed in full battle gear. She knew it was forbidden, but to hell with that.
“Why milady, you should know why I am here. After all, you are dressed for the occasion. Maybe I should take a little more off to match.”
Makoto stepped forward and started to tug at his armor. She lent in and whispered into his ear, “Yes, maybe you should, Nephrite.”
She continued to tug at his clothes as he stripped, first the armor, then his sword belt, then his uniform, and finally his undergarments. Makoto admired him from below her lowered eyelashes. Nephrite just smiled and reached out and tugged at her towel. It came off in one clean snap. Nephrite, as always, caught his breath in a hitch. She was gorgeous, her Plump, perky, dusky-pink breasts and a slim trim waist were all so tantalizing. Everything a princess should be.
“We really should not be doing this. Earth and Moon people are not supposed to mix.” Makoto started to breathe heavily as Nephrite’s eyes bored into her sweet innocent face. Well, not so innocent anymore, but that was neither here or there. He continued looking at her, and in one smooth movement, picked her up, and went into the bathroom where a hot shower was running.
“It’s a little too late to turn back now, lovely. So let’s just enjoy this while we can.” Nephrite carried Makoto into the waiting shower so the water would hit her back first, causing her to arch her back in a forward movement to rub her pert little breasts against his naked chest. She continued to press her breasts against her lover as he slowly allowed her to slide down the tiled wall of the shower stall until her back was braced securely against its surface and his neck and upper body were under the spray of the shower. Makoto giggled and leaned forward to capture her lover’s lips in a heated and most passionate kiss. She kissed her lover with everything she had as the last three weeks of pent up passion found glorious release. Nephrite kissed his little athletic lover back with as much fire as she was giving him in that moment.
Breaking away, Nephrite moved his mouth to the base of her throat where he kissed and nipped at the sweet supple skin of her throat as his way of teasing her. He heard her cry a little and knew now was not the time for teasing. There was a war on the brink and everyone was ready for it. No, she just wanted him and only him. No foreplay or teasing this time, for this might be the last chance they would experience this life together. So, moving away from her neck, Nephrite looked into his lover’s eyes and used his hands to open her thighs and with his fingers part her petals of love for him as she wrapped long luscious legs about his waist. Makoto leaned forward and grabbed his lips again as he plunged deep into her moisten depths.
~*~
“Hey Nephrite, other people want hot water too, you baka. What you doing in there…, masturbating.” Jadeite yelled thru the closed door of his bathroom.
Turning off the water and stepping out of the shower, Nephrite grabbed one of his towels and yelled back at Jadeite, “It’s none of your damn business what I was doing, Jadeite. So, unless you want a broken nose, I suggest you get out of my room.”
He heard the door to his bedroom close before opening the door. He started to dry himself off when he noticed he had a slight problem. His memories had turned him on as if they had happened all over again. Damn asshole, Nephrite thought as he went back into the bathroom to take care of his problem.

“Well, there you go girl, everything is packed in my car. Now, how about we go feed you two,” Makoto suggested as she came up to Usagi and the girls after putting the stroller and car seat into her new Toyota four Runner.
“How about Sbarro’s, I am craving Italian. What about you guys?” Usagi started to head towards the elevator to go to the fourth floor where the food court was situated.
“Usagi, that is fast food, and its not good for you.” Ami tried to reason with Usagi as they followed her to the elevator.
“And, I am hungry…, pasta is good for you so long as you are not a diabetic, so less argument and more moving ladies.” Usagi pushed the ‘up’ button on the elevator and waited for the doors to open. Once they did, Usagi moved in and waited for the girls to join her. Usagi pushed the number ‘four’ button and the doors closed in front of them. They felt the movement as the car went up.
A few seconds later, they heard the sound of the lift chime as the doors opened onto the food court. Usagi, on a mission, moved forward in a straight line and then veered to the left and found what she wanted. She walked up to the counter and waited to be served. The attendant finally noticed her after serving an elderly couple.
“Yes, I will have the Baked Ziti.” Usagi replied after the guy asked for her order. He got her food and asked the others what they wanted and served them as well. Usagi approached the cashier . “Can I also have a bottle of Berry Punch and a bottle of water, please.”
Usagi fished out 10 dollars and paid the cashier and got her change then looked about for a table big enough for herself and her friends. After searching for a minute or so, she found one near the bathroom big enough for all of them. They reached the table, chatting happily amongst themselves and sat down.
“So, what is next on the list, Usagi?” Rei asked, taking a bite of her broccoli stuffed pizza.
“Well, I still need a rocking chair for the nursery. Mamoru said I could also get some clothes and stuff. So we can go find the other little things like blankets, bottles and little things like that. We can go find a regular furniture store and see if we can find a gliding rocker. I really want a glider cause’ they are so relaxing to sit in.”
“I have a glider and they are so comfortable.” Makoto piped in between bites of her vegetable salad.
“Okay, so after we get done eating, let’s head down to the third floor again and see what we can find.” The girls nodded their approval and dug into their food.

“You’re late yet again; really, Kunzite… I would hate to find myself having to suspend you for tardiness. But because you happen to be my son, that does not mean you are above everyone else who works here. Everyone arrives here at eight-thirty, right on the dot. Not at twelve-thirty, do you understand?” Takeino Kitkino yelled at his son as he walked away from him. Takeino was not a man to be ignored and it did not look good for the CEO’s own son to ignore him in front of his underlings.
Seeing his son wasn't turning around, Takeino stormed off towards his son's office. Just as Kunzite shut the door to his office, his father slammed it open. “Son or not…, boy, you ever walk away from me again and I will disown you,” Takeino said heatedly.
“You have been saying that every morning for 3 weeks now. Really, old man, do what you say you are gonna do, or get out of my face and let me do my job,” Kunzite challenged. He was 28 he could and would take care of himself.
“What is with the attitude, boy. You have been in a permanent bad mood for three weeks now. Something happen' between you and those rejects you live with, or is it something else.”
Kunzite looked at his “father” with a bored expression on his face. “Are you through…, and those rejects I live with are old friends.” Kunzite removed his suit jacket and sat down at his desk totally dismissing his father and booting up his computer to check on the day’s emails.
“Next time you come in late, we will see how you like missing a few pay checks.” Takeino departed with those words, his anger clear for all to see.
My prince, I hope you will one day understand what we are going through for you and for us all. Kunzite thought to himself as he opened the first email of the day.

“Whoa man, did you get drunk and into a fight with a bouncer, again?” Jack asked Jadeite as they walked up to each other. Thanks to Kunzite and Nephrite, for the next week Jadeite wouldn't be such a ‘pretty-boy.’ His face was swollen from the punches he had received from his fellow kings. Both eyes were a nasty black-blue and sort of a purplish color and his right upper lip was red and swollen. Dried blood was visible from where Kunzite struck him.
“No Jack, he got his face beaten in when he intentionally provoked Kunzite. So, his face had it coming. Kunzite is not someone to mess with. Nephrite gave him a parting blow when he took a shot at him.” Jadeite glowered and this made Zoicite laugh harder than he already was.
“Shut up man. Kunzite is just plain nuts and I am going to pay Nephrite back for the eye. I just have to find his secret stash of photos he keeps of his princess. I swear both of them should be arrested for being assholes and stalkers.”
“Whoa…, wait a minute there, Jad, I would revise that line of thinking. Nephrite would kill you then hack you up to make kabobs for supper. He is as ‘crazy as’ when it comes to Makoto the way Kunzite is with Minako. So I would think twice. Just because you got a busted face don’t mean you need to risk your life for such petty revenge.”
Zoicite and Jadeite continued to argue until Jack intervened, “What are you guys talking about. What is this about pictures and stalking?” Jack was getting confused by his friends more and more by the minute.
“Oh it’s nothing. Those two have girls they like, but are too chicken shit to go up and talk to them. So they study from afar and Neph just likes taking pictures of his lady. It’s really nothing Jad here is just pissed off about getting his face beat in and made ugly,” Zoicite lied through his teeth. No one could possibly guess these men were the reincarnated Shitennou, who lived a thousand years ago, or that they had tried to enslave and kill off the human race on the strength of their current antics.
“Well, what ever it is, I hope everything works out for them. Come on Jad..., let’s get to art class. Today we have to create a game character from scratch. Draw him on paper, then scan it in and then cg it. Bye Zoi, seeya later, man.” Jack waved as he dragged Jadeite off towards the arts building.
Well, I guess it is time to head off to wonderful business management class. What fun, but I will have to talk to Jad about blabbing his mouth off in public about what we do at home and about Kunzite and Nephrite’s obsession with their princesses. I wonder how Ami is doing. I have not seen her since last week when she was studying at the library and that was from afar. I really need to go see Setsuna, because all this sneaking around is starting to get to me. Her majesty gave us back our lives so we could get another chance with our loves and be there for our prince. I wonder if he misses us. I miss giving him advice even though he rarely took it. Last time I remember him telling us he and the princess were expecting a baby. I wonder how that is going. I will go see Setsuna after my class. Jad can simply figure out another way to get home. Zoisite thought as he walked towards the Business faculty where all the management courses were conducted.

“Well, what ever it is, I hope everything works out for them. Come on Jad..., let’s get to art class. Today we have to create a game character from scratch. Draw him on paper, then scan it in and then cg it. Bye Zoi, seeya later, man.” Jack waved as he dragged Jadeite off towards the arts building.
Well, I guess it is time to head off to wonderful business management class. What fun, but I will have to talk to Jad about blabbing his mouth off in public about what we do at home and about Kunzite and Nephrite’s obsession with their princesses. I wonder how Ami is doing. I have not seen her since last week when she was studying at the library and that was from afar. I really need to go see Setsuna, because all this sneaking around is starting to get to me. Her majesty gave us back our lives so we could get another chance with our loves and be there for our prince. I wonder if he misses us. I miss giving him advice even though he rarely took it. Last time I remember him telling us he and the princess were expecting a baby. I wonder how that is going. I will go see Setsuna after my class. Jad can simply figure out another way to get home. Zoisite thought as he walked towards the Business faculty where all the management courses were conducted.
