Welcome to Gaia! ::

Danurite just raised an eyebrow at Zoisite. He had expected Kunzite would learn of his return sooner or later, so it was no surprise that the leader of the Shitennou had figured it out. Kunzite knowing meant he would just have to become more cautious in his comings and goings. It else meant he would need to alter his plans slightly. It seemed that he could use this to his advantage, this sudden disention in the ranks of his former commrades.

With an adoring smile, Danburite lightly cupped Zoisite's face in his hands. "Now, my love, we both know how Kunzite is. I do not see this act as a betrayal... so I shall leave the Master be," he cooed.

'For now...'

~*~

"And proctecting my love is my duty as well. He is not just yours anymore Kunzite. Remember that," Usagi added in a quiet voice, sounding more loving than possessive like she had intended to. She could not let Kunzite push her around. She, too, was a leader. She was jsut as capable as he was, or so she believed.

"If this Danburite is a threat to Mamoru, then you will accept our help whether you want it or not."

'Even more fortuitous,' he thought as he reached up and ran one of his hands through Zoisite's hair. Maybe he could convince Zoisite to return to the Dark Kingdom with him. Even if it did lead to a betrayal by Zoisite, which was very much a possibility at this point, it would keep the rift between his lover and Kunzite growing stronger and deeper.

"The Dark Kingdom."

"What do you mean what the hell I'm doing?!" Nephrite shouted.

His anger was bottled in too long and Kunzite shouting at him isn't making it better. He felt his blood boil within him and soon it will explode. Making a pact with the Senshi is not only low, but humiliation to the Tennous. Making them look weak. "Kunzite, leader of the Shitennou asking the Sailor Senshis to help us. HAH! What happened to the pride you once had. The one he thought he can take on the world and boast he is better and stronger then us. No! Your head is up your butt with this Danburite guy from the past. All this past life can kiss by butt.! You want power! I will show you power!"
Nephrite took the nearby lamp and threw it across the room with full force. The lamp smashed loudy against the hardwood floor. Sending the ceramic and glass pieces all over the floor. After that, he took Kunzite favorite arm chair and threw at the window, smashing it into big chunks of glass "Thats power! Sorry Princess for my temper, but this idot is no hot shot like he think he is"
Nephrite stormed out of the room and slammed the front door hard. He laughed so hard thinking about Kunzite's expression "What an old goat. Thinks he's all that. Well I better go to work and demand that human over time. Since I have a funny feeling I have repair bills and not to mention get the hell out that hole" Nephrite mumbled as he looked towards the smashed window, and the arm chair out in the middle of the lawn.

((Oh no, you are not leaving like that. razz ))

Kunzite didn't even blink as the lamp and chair were thrown, and he didn't even move when Nephrite stomped out of the house. To say that Kunzite was royally pissed was a vast understatement. He counted to ten, and then not caring about the fact that he was still in Tennou form, teleported out of the house and reappeared in front of Nephrite, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt. "This is not finished," he said slowly, enunciating each word clearly before teleporting right back to the room they are started in and pushing Nephrite away from him roughly.


Of course, Zoisite was a fool to think that it could not have been rebuilt. And Beryl, so she was alive as well. 'I can't go back there,' he thought, even though an alternate plan had yet to come to mind. Letting Danburite return there alone was not an option either.

Danburite was showing his true colours now. This was not the man that Zoisite had fallen in love with. No, he was power hungry now, and surely bent on revenge. "What are you planning to do?" he asked, truly uncertain of what Danburite might do if he could take the power Beryl held in the Dark Kingdom. "The Dark Kingdom can never be 'glorious'."

Usagi's mouth dropped as she quietly witnessed the violent exchange between Nephrite and Kunzite. This was definitely not good. Mamoru would not be pleased with this latest turn of events. She could, however, see why everyone seemed to be so easily frustrated with Kunzite. The man just asked for all the ill will he received.

But did that mean it was fair of her to go along with all that ill will in his direction? Of course not. For Mamoru's sake and for the sake of their soon to be newly formed team, she would have to try to get into Kunzite's good graces and learn to be very, very patient with the man.



Again, all Danburite could do was raise an eyebrow at Zoisite. "Zoisite, my dearest Zoisite, do you really believe that I would allow us to dwell in the Dark Kingdom as is? Absurd! You deserve better than dank caves, my precious one. You deserve a kingdom fit for one of the freat Shitennou!"

He moved closer to Zoisite once more and reached for his hands. "Please trust in me when I say that I have the power to make the Dark Kingdom glorious."

Zoisite's words struck a cord within danburite and he let his lover's hands fall. "If I am corrupted, it would be the fault of that runt of a master you serve!" he nearly spat out, his temper flaring. He would not be in this position had it not been for the royalty of the Golden Kingdom. They had betrayed him and it was he who had suffered for that betrayal. "You are still the blind fool you always were where Endymion is involved!"



Gathering what little courage she had, Usagi quickly followed Kunzite and Nephrite. She did not want them to destroy their home more than Nephrite already had. She also did not want them to risk revealing themselves and their location to their enemies. Fighting as Shitennou in public like that would only do more damage than good to their efforts to keep Tokyo and the rest of the world safe.

Usagi took a very hesitant step forward. "Yamete!" she yelled, her voice trembling. If they wanted to fight, so be it. But she could not stand around and let furniture get tossed about. Someone would be seriously hurt, especially if they walked in at the wrong time.

"Nephrite... Kunzite... if you have to fight to work this out, please do it fairly. With honour," she pleaded, more so to Nephrite than to Kunzite.

((I realized that =P but regardless, she can still be worried about the public knowing and them exposing themselves if it gets too out of hand.))

Danburite glared fiercely at Zoisite. "There are ways to make them work and you will quake in fear if I must enforce them," he stated through nearly clenched teeth. It was much too late for Zoisite to try to calm him. It was quite obvious he would have to resort to Beryl's tricks of brain washing and manipulation. Only it would have to be much, much stronger than before. And if that failed, then he would destroy the Shitennou one by one, along with their master, if that was what it took to bring Zoisite over to his side.
