Shitennou Jadeite

RP Blog Jadeite [ジェダイト, Jedaito, Jedite] a.k.a. Kai Taito Based on Naoko’s Materials Collection, he is the second-youngest of the Four Kings (Shitennou). He was the head of the Dark Kingdom’s Far-Eastern Division and is named after the mineral jadeite. (Based mostly on manga-Jadeite.) My avatar is a fanart by ile-o that I specifically commissioned for this RP character. // RP Character Tumblr // Current Status: Jadeite awoke from his stone imprisonment alone in Tokyo. After a period of time wandering with jumbled memories of his brothers' death in Elysion and in the more-recent Dark Kingdom, he started gathering power, by stealing electricity, to revive his brothers and reunite the Shitennou with their Prince. During that time, by day, Jadeite existed as Kai Taito, his human persona prior to the Dark Kingdom and remembering Elysion. "Kai" works as a reporter at a major Japanese newspaper. Due to recent events: - Kai has not awakened in some time - Jad believes Kunzite has been brainwashed by the Senshi - Jadeite and Nephrite live together and are intent upon ridding Earth and their leaders of the control of the "evil" sailor senshi. - Jad is starting to wonder if he is wrong about the Senshi, but still cannot bring himself to trust the women that murdered his "brothers".

Rude Starters

"I can see your point, but I still think you're full of it."

"I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public."

"I see the screw up fairy has visited again."

"You are validating my inherent mistrust in strangers."

"I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth."

"The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist."

"I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid."

"I'm not being rude, you're just insignificant."

"You! Get off my planet."

"Too many freaks, not enough circuses."

"Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it?"

"You're not special."

"If I throw a stick, will you leave?"

"Who lit the fuse on your tampon?"

"Oh I get it. It's like humor, but different."

"Aren't you a black hole of need."

"Sure I'll help you out. Which way did you come in?"

"If you have something to say raise your hand, then place it over your mouth."

"I’m too busy, can I ignore you some other time?"

"Don’t let your mind wander, it's too small to be let out on its own."

"Have a nice day, somewhere else."

"You’re not yourself today, I noticed the improvement straight away."

"You are as pretty as a picture, I’d really like to hang you."

"Don’t believe everything you think."

"Do you hear that? That’s the sound of no-one caring."

"Here's some chapstick for all that butt kissing"

Outside the Airport

[generalkunzite-blog]

He tapped his fingers on his crossed arms.  He was sure how long he’d have to wait.  He was even sure that the man he was waiting for would take this exit of the large airport.  He’d gone entirely on gut instinct; it’d always worked for them before.  They were bound together and if they wanted to find one another, they would.

 He’d only been aware that his friend was returning through a quick email from Nephrite, who had disappeared as mysteriously as both Zoisite and Jadeite.  Kunzite had had little to no contact with any of them.  Everything that had happened had been so much for each of them. 

Part of him understood.  Both teams had been torn, shredded.  The Shitennou didn’t know what to believe anymore or how to stand together.  Maybe they’d just needed to learn to stand separately.  He wasn’t completely sure of the reason each had.  It had helped him though.  He’d learned, grown into this world.

Even she had left him.

Maybe that was for the best, all of it.  He found work; he poured over his work and he enjoyed his work.  For the first time, the things he did had nothing to do with the Prince or his brothers or anyone except himself.

He’d tried several times to remember what he’d done before Beryl, but every memory was marred with his feelings of having to find someone, be near someone.  Even before he’d been awakened, his life had been ruled by his past.

Now, he’d finally become more than just Kunzite.

When he first caught sight of the blonde man, he had a split second of indecision.  He’d grown so comfortable in this life.  In only being Khaled.  He suddenly wasn’t sure that he was ready to let though go.

Ultimately, he straightened his back and cleared his throat.  He couldn’t fight it forever.

He smiled in response to the nervous joke, “Maybe not but… It’s good to see you again, brother.”

He moved forward, one hand outstretching to take on of Jadeite’s, the other already moving to grasp his shoulder, a greeting of long lost brethren.    

What part of his young friend returned, he wasn’t sure.  The knight or the human or both.

He, however, stepped out of his comfort zone has Khaled.

He was also Kunzite.

[shitennoujadeite]

He stiffened for a brief moment, part of him bristling at the return to this connection -- this life, but he soon, moved forward in mirror to Kunzite, grasping one hand as his other hand went to the elder man’s shoulder. He didn’t attempt to fight the warm smile that spread over his features.

“I’m,” He paused uncertainly. Was he glad to see him? He was, but there was also a cold pit in the bottom of his stomach, knowing what getting tangled up in this reincarnation tale again might mean. “You too, brother. You too.”

He pulled back to take a better look at Kunzite without taking his hand from the man’s shoulder, looking for any changes, new scars, bruises evidencing ongoing fights, trinkets that would give him some warning of if he was still involved with  the Venusian. Of course he is, you moron. Why wouldn’t they be? “You look good. How did you even know to come here? I only told Neph I was returning to the city, and I asked him for space to settle in before we met up.”

Outside the Airport

There were strangers watching. He hoisted the heavy luggage over the concrete planter, trying to pretend he hadn’t been half daydreaming as he walked. Definitely meant to do that. He wanted the extra exercise of hopping over the pedestrian divider and dragging the suitcase after him. Completely on purpose.

He settled the bag on the edge of the curb, now separated from the main deluge of people bustling in and out of the airport’s doors. Looking around, he tried to find the taxi queue, but just found himself staring a at a sea of fellow travelers, the Japanese signs seeming foreign after his months away.

Going back to New York had been a good choice though. It had become too much, he’d been too lost in the past and the pain that surrounded it. He had needed to get away, and going back to the city where he had attended university had given him a sense of normalcy and a chance to ground himself. Of course, he couldn’t completely break from his past life, or the Prince. He had meant to. He had meant to disappear into the crowds of New York and forget Tokyo, forget Sailor Moon, forget his brothers-at-arms, forget Prince Endymion. He’d changed his living location. Changed time zones. Changed countries. Changed his job. Changed his lifestyle. He’d even grown his hair out, trying to look less like “Jadeite”. It had worked for a little while, but then he’d felt the inexorable tug in the back of his mind that had only grown more urgent. Nine months later, the pain of avoiding the bond was as bad as dealing with the pain of the memories. He’d had to return. 

He had no idea what he was going to say to them. He wasn’t foolish enough to think he’d return to Tokyo and not run into them sooner or later, but he still didn’t know what he’d say. He didn’t even know if he wanted them to call him Kai or Jadeite. He had just known he needed to return to Tokyo. They would probably be angry, disappearing like he had, and only exchanging the occasional email with Nephrite in the time since. He had told Nephrite he was coming back. A brief email saying he was coming back today, and that he wanted to take it slowly so he might not meet up with him immediately. He wanted to ease back into this mess, not jump in headfirst.

The sound of a voice clearing behind him caught his attention, and his head whipped around to look, already feeling the all to familiar tug in his gut. A hand went reflexively to pull at the half ponytail of golden curls, knowing it must look strange to someone who’d never seen him with hair past his chin before.

He tried to make it sound light and joking, but the words came out flat and as nervous as he felt, “Did you have to do this?”

Golden Boy Or Jedi-Inu (You'll forever be my golden puppy)

Jadeite gave a delighted laugh and swung an arm over Kunzite’s shoulder in a loose hug, “Ever your golden boy, Kunz. Always. If anyone’s calling me a loyal dog though, that’ll have to be Endymion.”

[shitennoujadeite]

B3 why hello there "Sr. McGrumpy fluff butt". I would have tried to be more creative but the name just suits you so well.

Jadeite felt his shoulder muscles tense at the sound of the Minako’s voice, and turned slowly to meet her. He raised one golden eyebrow and smirked, “Leave it to you to string together something easily four times the length of my name and call it a ‘nickname’. I’m not even certain what most of that is meant to mean, unless you’re attempting to imply I grow fur on my arse. Your knowledge of human anatomy is  worse than I’d guessed, Venusian.”

"We all have something," Kunzite said with a short nod of his head.  "Next time, just know I’m always there for you.  All I ask is that you state your case."

Kunzite smiled at the quick change in attitude, “It was Arabian, just for general knowledge.”

"I think we could all use a little visit from Aya.  She sure has a way of brightening up the room, doesn’t she?  Lords know we could all use some of that from time to time."

[shitennoujadeite]

"Got it," There was a brief nod in return, but he mentally chided himself knowing he likely wouldn’t do as his leader asked. ‘Hard headed idiot,’ Nephrite would have said.

"Arabian," Jadeite muttered thoughtfully. "You’ve been embracing that more and more lately, haven’t you? Ah well, no worries! No worries! Aya and I will find something nice, and maybe her mother will let me bring her by to visit after."

He ruffled his own hair and hunched his shoulders slightly as a thought occurred to him, “I should get going soon though. Errands to run.”

This is very different from the manga, obviously because all four generals are still alive when Beryl captures Endymion. Yet, it’s only really Kunzite who seems to remember him, even though he lies about it to Zoicite. This is going to be really interesting.

He glared as Jadeite patted his shoulder, otherwise ignoring the jab at Minako.  He had long since learned to let that pass by; he would never convince Jadeite of the relationship.

"Yes, I am very, very grateful to have had those two back.  Can’t hold that much against you," he responded.  "Of course, ever so strong, courageous and untrusting Jadeite could ask for help in his attempts."

"I’ll take that as a compliment," he unfolded his arms.  Normally he could handle Jadeite’s teasing, however he had no real response on these matters.  The boy was mostly correct in his accusations.

"I’ll hold you to that last bit."

[shitennoujadeite]

"Always my downfall I suppose," He shot his leader a chagrined look. "I’ve never been very good at asking for help. We all have our Achille’s Heel."

With a turn on his heels and a casual parody of a salute, he let schooled his face back to a happier expression, “Yes General, new rug it is. Perhaps I’ll ask little Aya to help me shop. She’s been begging for attention every time she visits the office. It’s hard to tell the little dear no.”

Jadeite leans back against the wall smirking, tapping one finger against the bicep of his crossed arms.

"Oh yes. Loads of fun Kun-Kun. Stop siphoning energy from the city power grid. Stop picking fights with my girlfriend. Stop passing out and bleeding on the good rug." The teasing tone of his voice was unmistakable, ”What a kill joy.”

[generalkunzite-blog]

The man crossed his arms at his younger friend.  The boy could be almost relentless in his teasing.

"In my defense, you were sucking power from the part of the city that I was trying to work in,” he defended, quickly regretting using the word ‘work’ in his argument.  ”That rug still has blood in it.”

[shitennoujadeite]

He allowed his grin to widen and pushed out from the wall, patting Kunzite on the shoulder.

"In my defense, I was resurrecting Nephrite and Zoisite. You were cuddling up to your blonde alien princess," He chuckled. "You and the prince have far too  much in common sometimes." With a tilt of his head he added, "Would it make you feel better if I replaced the rug, Fearless Leader?"

FINALLY.

The internet at home is fixed now. Someone had ripped down the wiring going from the cable box outside my house to the underside of the house. The wiring had to be replaced.

I can return properly now.

I'll be crashing early tonight, but please let me know where I can/should jump in.

I would just like to say that I am an innocent bystander in this.

[generalkunzite-blog]

I think I’m being used as a kissing booth.

[nephrite-blog]

But why do I feel like you’re enjoying every minute of it? See you’re even getting kisses from Jadeite! Everyone loves Jadeite kisses. (Totally not biased).

[shitennoujadeite]

Jadeite smiles and ruffles Neph's hair before giving him a kiss on the cheek as well. "So insecure, dear brother."
