Levana Ceri (Moon Love)

Chapter 3

“What the hell were you thinking Zoisite?!” Kunzite demanded.

“Nothing of great value Kunzite. Simply that it might be nice to see a pretty face around the grounds.” Zoisite said calmly.

“I think he means that you’re not pretty enough for him Kunzite.” Jadeite said with a broad grin as he walked into the library where Kunzite was trying to bring Zoisite to task. From the moment the guards had announced that Zoisite had arrived with a female companion Kunzite had been livid. As the official leader of the Shitenou he felt it was his responsibility to know the ins and outs of everything and Zoisite bringing a girl along with no notice and out of the blue was a hard blow to his ego.

“Shut up Jadeite. This has nothing to do with you. What the hell are you doing in here anyway? I told you to watch the girl.”

“Oh don’t get me wrong. I watched her. I watched her pretty little behind walk upstairs behind the maid as she led her to her room. I watched the way those angelic little eyes lit up at the sight of all the artwork covering the walls. At the way her pert little breasts swayed inside her shirt-”

“Jadeite please, I just ate.” Nephrite grumbled as he pushed past Jadeite to sit himself at one of the couches in the library. “The mere thought of you having any lustful thoughts towards anyone is disgusting. Besides, don’t you have to hit puberty before you can get laid?” Nephrite said dryly to no one in particular.

“Ha ha Nephie-”

“I truly despise it when you call me that.” Nephrite interrupted sourly.

“Don’t I know it Nephie? Don’t be jealous because the little blonde gel is obviously going to pick me over you.”

“I didn’t realize we were in competition. Besides one look at your juvenile prick and she’d come screaming into my arms…ha, cum screaming in my arms. I kind of like the sound of that.” Nephrite finished smiling.

Zoisite gave both Nephrite and Jadeite a menacing scowl. “Do not speak of Miss Levana that way. She is my friend and a lady to boot. Treat her with respect.”

“C’mon Zoi. How can you expect a wanabe horn dog like Jadeite to avoid trying to seduce the poor girl? I wouldn’t wish him on my worst enemy but the girl has got an ass that won’t quit.”

“You shouldn’t have been looking at her ass at all. You weren’t even properly introduced. Kunzite barely let me escort the young lady inside before he stomped up to me and demanded an audience. The only reason Serena was escorted to her room was because I asked the maid to do so. Otherwise she’d have been left in the hall to Jadeite’s dubious attentions.”

“Zoi I’m hurt.” Jadeite said mockingly while clutching at his chest. “I really am. I would have introduced myself to the girl before I dragged her upstairs.”

“Where I would have had to immediately rescue her by taking off my shirt and showing her what a real man looks like when he’s about to make his woman cum.” Nephrite said smugly.

Jadeite quickly grabbed his throat and gagged. “Ugh, did you have to give me that damn visual. The chest wouldn’t have been impressive since you can barely call that sole whisker you have there chest hair.”

“At least my chest doesn’t look like an eight year old boy’s chest.”

“I haven’t gotten any complaints in the sex area. In fact the women keep coming back and begging for more.”

“Only until they’ve had a taste of me then why go back to the appetizer when you can have the main course and dessert?”

“Like you’d even know how to make a woman cum.” Jadeite said snidely.

“At least I’ve been with women and not a man!”

“That was one time and I didn’t fucking know he was a man until I got him undressed! You bastard you swore you’d never tell!”

This being the first time Zoisite had heard of such an incident nearly fell to the floor in his laughter. Jadeite getting redder by the minute tried to explain. “Its hard to fucking tell now a days. You’ve got gay men that look prettier than women now. It could have happened to anyone.”

“And yet you’re the only one that we know about.” Nephrite said with evil glee.

“Shut the fuck up you asshole!”

“Make me you fucking queen!”

“Enough!” Kunzite yelled into the chaos. Zoisite, Jadeite and Nephrite quickly if not grudgingly quieted down. No one disobeyed Kunzite when he spoke in that tone. Jadeite took a seat beside Nephrite where he promptly pinched him in retaliation when Kunzite wasn’t looking. Nephrite bit back a grin. For all their bickering he got along with Jadeite the best. It was just too much fun to bait each other.

Zoisite took his seat in front of the grand piano and lovingly traced the keys with his fingertips. He loved to play the piano.

Kunzite glowered at all three of them sternly. “Besides the girls obvious beauty what the hell are we going to do with her?” When both Nephrite and Jadeite perked up and looked like they were about to say something Kunzite quickly slashed his hand through the air cutting them off. “If I hear one God damned word from you two that has anything to do with sex and that girl I’ll make sure fucking will never be an option for either of you again.”

Jadeite and Nephrite lowered their hands slowly. Although they doubted Kunzite would actually follow through with his threat there was always that niggling doubt. Of all of them, Kunzite was the least predictable and shortest temper. Better not to push their luck.

“Serena has issues she needs to deal with. I offered her this place so she could work them out. She’s a very sweet girl and won’t be a bother.” Zoisite said soothingly.

“She’s a bother by merely being here. Look at Jadeite and Nephrite. The girl isn’t even here for five minutes, she hasn’t even uttered a word and they’re all ready at each others throats.”

Nephrite cleared his throat loudly to gain their attention. “To be fair Kunzite, me and Jadeite would be at each other’s throats over a loaf of bread. She just made it much easier to pick on the little boy.”

“Who you calling a little boy you Village People reject?” Jadeite sputtered.

Nephrite bit his tongue to keep from retorting back, not wanting to anger Kunzite further. Jadeite looked about to continue with his tirade so Nephrite jabbed his elbow into his stomach to shut him up. Though Jadeite growled low in his throat he looked up into Kunzites burning eyes and subsided.

“She can’t stay here.” Kunzite said slowly.

“She has nowhere else to go.” Zoisite responded.

“Does it look like I care? Master is supposed to show up here in a week. How the hell am I supposed to explain the girl’s presence? He comes here for solitude and barely tolerates our presence as it is and that’s only because we’re his personal guard. If he sees the girl he’s likely to kill us all and throw the girl out. I’m not willing to die over a little chit because she has “problems”. Kunzite finished sarcastically.

“You won’t have to Kunzite. Besides it is not your decision to make.”
Jadeite and Nephrite sat back in shock over Zoisite’s boldness. No one questioned Kunzites authority least of all Zoi who was usually the most calm and reasonable of their foursome.

“What did you say?” Kunzite said menacingly.

“The girl is my friend and I brought her here for some peace. Besides when I’m with her I sense that she is destined to have a major effect on all our lives.”

“All the more reason to get rid of her before what you say comes true.” Kunzite said with alarm lacing his tone. Zoisite was never wrong.

“No, to rid ourselves of the girl would bring death and destruction to not only our world but that of others.”

“Zoisite?” Jadeite said nervously. He hated it when Zoisite got that far away look in his eyes. He felt Nephrite stiffen beside him and Kunzite’s eyes widened in horror. “We must protect young Serena Levana for she is our future and our lives depend on her completing her destiny…it is tied with Masters.”

“Wait! What do you mean Zoisite? Her destiny is tied with Masters? In what way? Will harm befall Master because of her?” Kunzite demanded while pulling his sword out of his scabbard he always held at his side. “Be clear Zoisite. If anything will happen to Master because of the girl then I’ll handle it now before anything happens to him.” Kunzite began to stride out of the room purposefully with the full intent of dealing with Serena. Of all the Shitenou Kunzite was the most loyal to their Master.

“No.” Zoisite waved his hand towards Kunzite and the energy blast caught him off guard, never believing that Zoisite would dare attack him. Kunzite flew across the room and slammed into a bookcase. The breath knocked out of him he quickly covered his head as the entire bookcase and the hundreds of books fell on top of him.

Jadeite and Nephrite leaped to his side and helped him out of the rubble. As Kunzite rose both Jadeite and Nephrite stood protectively over Kunzite. Zoisite lowered his hand slowly, his eyes still not seeing them but something very far away. “The girl is to be protected. Without her, death and darkness shall be our companions in the hell to come.”

Suddenly Zoisite collapsed to the floor and held his head as pain etched his brow. “It happened again.” Zoisite looked up and was horrified by the mess he had evidently made of the room. “What did I say?” He asked his brothers beseechingly.

Kunzite stood to his full height, walked over to Zoisite and held out his hand. Zoisite cautiously gripped his forearm and allowed him to help him stand. “You had another vision Zoisite. Whoever the girl is and what she represents to us is still not known but that she is important is no longer a question. We shall keep an eye on her. In the meantime you two can clean up this mess.” Kunzite said to Jadeite and Nephrite.
Both trying to ease the tension of before groaned dramatically. “C’mon Kunzite! That’s not fair. You two play rough but we get stuck with cleanup duty.”

Kunzite grinned at them. “That’s what happens when you’re the runts of the group. Come Zoisite, I think its time I greet our guest properly. But I’m telling you…Master is not going to like this.”

Zoisite gripped Kunzite's shoulder comradely. “We’ll deal with that when the time comes. But you’re going to like Serena.”

“That’s a little besides the point now. I don’t like her on principle. Whatever she’s supposed to do is obviously going to screw up my life and the lives of the ones I care for. But I can deal with that. As long as I can tolerate her that will have to do.”
