Hi, everyone! I'm EnraptureSins who's here to give you the newest addition to my Healing Fire series. This is the third installment and will be the last installment (if inspiration doesn't strike again for anymore). I wanted to wait another few days before posting this, but then I figured its been almost week now lol As usual, each chapter will be 500 words, no more or no less. And please, for goodness sake, do NOT comment on how short the chapters are. I know how short they are. There's no need to add it in a review. It'll be a waste of time since I'll just keep it the same length anyways ^^'

Note: You do NOT have to read Soothing Rivers or Healing Fire to understand this story. However, it is highly recommended that you read them if you really want to get the feel for Venus and Kunzite's relationship.

*This takes place two months after the events of Soothing Rivers. Set in Crystal Tokyo and features the pairing Venus and Kunzite.

One box.

Two boxes.

When another box, carried in the arms of Jadeite and Nephrite, passed by Venus, she still hadn't grasped the thought of what she had agreed to. Scratch that. What was decided without her knowledge or consent. Sighing, she rubbed her temple and turned her gaze to the balcony doors. Outside, a breeze rustled the trees within the palace walls and shook free the gold, red, and orange leaves dangling from them. The horizon painted a sky scenery of a harmonizing canvas of colors leading to purple near the bottom. When she went to open the door and stepped outside, a cool breeze grazed her skin and the evening light gave her a soft glow.

From a distance, she saw her home planet, Venus, hidden behind a light orange cloud. It was a beautiful autumn sunset and kept her calm. Because, honestly, the nerve of this man. A man who had somehow persuaded the Queen to let this happen.

And all her beloved had to say about this? Nothing. Just that same irritating and mused smile. The same one she had come to hate over the past few days. Groaning she stretched her back as someone knocked a few times on her balcony glass.

"Gold-butt," Venus's eye twitched once she recognized whose voice it was. "Kunzite said he'll be here in a few. He also said to not touch his stuff."

Venus snorted, "Sure And whenever are going to stop calling me that name?" Turning around, she met the mischievous, youthful eyes belonging to a certain short blond general. "It's not cute at all, Jadeite."

"When you stop being an ass to me all the time," then he placed his hands up in surrender. "I'm not sure what fake gold got all up in there lately, but you've been moody as hell. You should be lucky I'm not thinking of a worse nickname."

Venus chuckled. She had been moody a lot more than usual. Well, at least for the past few days. She figured it was her period and nothing else. Yawning and stretching, she gave Jadeite an eye roll. The general had a childish habit: nicknames. He had one for everyone, including the Queen. Gold-butt happen to be the typical name he called her whenever she was in one of her moods.

Not that she cared too much. Just found it annoying to hear every now and then.

Venus did find it fun to make snarky comments to Jadeite from time to time though, "Oh, please. I'm not, Jadeite," she cocked her eyebrow with a sly smirk spreading across her face. "If you want to talk about being an ass then need I not remind you how your little friend was almost fried and spear yesterday by you know who."

Jadeite paled and flinched, "…no reminder needed," he said weakly but holding a firm glare. Making a smart-ass comment to Mars of women in the palace was not a smart idea. "Gold-butt."

Ah...I think that's the best name I ever heard for Venus xD So, yes, this story will be a slice of life story. No drama or anything. Just a daily life of Kunzite and Venus. I will include other characters and have them interact with Kunzite and Venus every now and then. Any reviews are appreciated! Until the next update!
