Hey KMW here otherwise known as Sailor Memory, guardian of the Past!
~Heehee~ That’s my new name people. I’ll still be listed as KMW though,
so don’t worry.
Anyway I was listening to this radio when I heard this song and got
an idea. It fit perfectly since I am having an obsession with Sailor
Venus right now. Email me to tell me if you liked it, hated it, thought
it was stupid, a total waste of time, whatever. I don’t care what
you say, just email me please at ww4475@dragonbbs.com.

Summary: This is a short story about one of the cutest couples around,
Minako and Kunzite. Here’s what it’s like to come home to Kunzite.
It’s based upon the country song ‘To You.’
************************************************************************
I get up and battle the day
Things don’t always go my way
It might rain, but that’s okay
I get to come home to you…
Kunzite, leader of the four guardians of King Endymion, sighed.
Training the people down at the academy to be palace guards was harder
than it sounded. When he assigned something, half of his students
came up with some other way to do things, saying that it was better than
his idea.
Bah! They actually said that to him, Kunzite, who had been around
in the Silver Millennium, defending his liege with less than stellar equipment
and resources. In his opinion, these kids were getting pampered to
death. Put them in that kind of environment, they wouldn’t last five
minutes.
Glancing out the window, Kunzite groaned silently. It had been
raining all freaking day and it was beginning to annoy him, big time.
‘Maybe I should call up Neph and Makoto and tell them to make it stop,’
he thought with a devil-be-damned smile.
‘WE HEARD THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
At that he laughed out loud, gaining him some funny looks from the
people around him.
‘Oh well,’ he continued to think, ‘at least I have an angel to go home
to!’
Sometimes life may get me down
And I get tired of getting kicked around
I feel lost in this maddening crowd
But I get to come home to you…
“General Kunzite,” came a voice from behind him, questioning.
He turned around to see his aide, Commander Horn, holding a wad of
papers.
“Yes Commander,” he asked comfortably, “What can I do for you?”
“The supplies we ordered a month ago won’t be arriving for another
month. It seems that there was a mix-up in what we needed and when.”
Kunzite’s dark mood instantly returned. The room suddenly seemed to
be unbearably loud and chaotic. He had to get out.
Icily, he said only, “I’m taking the rest of the day off Commander.
Take any messages that come in.” He walked out before Horn could
say anything.
‘Cause you are my best friend
‘Cause you are where my heart is
And I know that the day is in
I get to come home to you…
Nearly punching anyone who came within six feet of him, Kunzite stormed
out of the building and over to his private transport. Slamming his
fist into the metal, he left a slight dent, unnoticed to him.
Sitting in front of the controls, Kunzite ran his hands through his
hair and rubbed his eyes tiredly. As he began to activate the shuttle,
something caught his eye. Curious, he reached over and picked it
up. Kunzite abruptly smiled. It was a picture of his beloved
wife, Minako, the head of Neo-Queen Serenity’s guardians.
With renewed energy, Kunzite hurried home, which was just outside Crystal
Tokyo.
Rushing into the house, he found Minako sitting on the floor in the
family room, going over some papers that she had to deal with as Head Guard.
Smiling, Kunzite cleared his throat. Minako froze and looked
up in his direction.
Hanging out in our old sweat shirts
You let me complain about a hard day’s work
I don’t know what I did to deserve
To get to come home to you…
Squealing in delight, Minako jumped up from the floor and Kunzite saw
she was wearing only a sweatshirt that said ‘Stuff it. I don’t have
time to listen!’ and a pair of checkered shorts. Standing five feet
away from him, she launched herself at him and landed in his arms.
Laughing, he told her playfully, “I didn’t think I’d get such a welcoming
committee when I got home.”
Pretending to be insulted, she snorted, “You get this everyday.
Why are you complaining?”
“Who said I was?”
“But you~”
Minako was cut off by his lips on hers.
They stayed that way for a moment until they plopped down on the floor
and he began to tell her about his crappy day.
“… So we have to wait another month for the supplies to come!
Now I have to postpone the finals until then, plus another week so we can
get things set up! What am I going to tell Endymion? He’s expecting
the new ranks in a few weeks!”
“Blame it on Zoisite.”
Fighting a grin, he nudged her, saying, “Would he believe me?”
Shaking her head, she answered mock sadly, “I’m afraid not,” Minako
paused then continued more seriously, “Honey, Endymion doesn’t expect you
to be perfect. Contrary to popular belief, Endymion is NOT
a slave driver!”
‘Cause you are my best friend
‘Cause you are where my heart is
And I know that the day is in
I get to come home to you…
Kunzite burst out laughing. The image of Endymion standing on
a platform with a whip in his hands, lashing at anyone who didn’t move
fast enough and shouting, “FASTER,” was simply hilarious. Closing
his eyes, he struggled to control his laughter.
When he opened his eyes again, Minako was gone. Immediately,
he heard sounds coming from the kitchen.
Walking in there, he saw her making them something to eat.
Sneaking up behind her, Kunzite put his arms around her and kissed
her on the cheek, murmuring, “What are we having tonight love?”
Giggling, Minako answered, “Steak, medium rare, white cheddar rice,
corn, and Burgundy wine. You have a problem with that, then take
it up with Makoto. It was her idea after all.”
Rolling his eyes, he muttered under his breath, “And I’ll bet Neph
had something to do with it as well. Does this mean I have to kill
them in the morning?”
“NO!”
‘Cause you are my best friend
‘Cause you are where my heart is
And I know that the day is in
I get to come home to you
Yes I get to come home to you…
After dinner, they watched a movie, then headed up to their room.
Sighing contentedly, Minako leaned against him as they stood out on
the balcony, staring up at the stars.
“Look love,” he said, pointing, “There’s Venus.” It was easy
to see, for it was the brightest star twinkling in the sky.
“Beautiful isn’t it Kunz,” she asked dreamily.
“Not as beautiful as you, my Aphrodite.”
Giggling, she turned to face him, saying, “I love it when you get poetic.”
She wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning in for a kiss.
Kunzite muttered before their lips met, “I know you do. Why do
you think I get that way so much?”
They stayed that way for several minutes, until they came up for air.
Still breathing heavily, she whispered in his ear, “Kunzite, sweetie,
I’m pregnant.”
*THUMP!*
Oh I love coming home… to you.
