The first time Keith saw Sailor Venus, pop idol and Minister of Defense, up close was during his graduation ceremony from the Crystal Tokyo Police Academy. Keith couldn't help staring at her as she made the keynote speech. She looked more vibrantly beautiful in real life than photographed in the glossy magazines his sister liked to read.
All of a sudden, a vision of another auditorium with graduates in blue gowns overlaid Keith's sight of the current auditorium with its graduates in black uniforms. Over both of those images was a vision of girl with long blond hair in a sailor fuku standing by an ornamental pond filled with water lilies.
Keith blinked and the visions vanished, leaving only the Police Academy auditorium. He didn't hear the rest of the speeches as he considered what he had just seen. The visions were nothing new to him. He had been experiencing them throughout his life. But this was the first time Keith had recognized someone he saw in one of his visions. This meant he had met Sailor Venus in one of his previous lives.
"Keith Andersen," the announcer called.
Minako watched as Keith jumped up and walked forward to shake the dean's hand and receive his diploma. With his short blond hair, Keith looked a little like Jadeite, especially from the back. But his facial features did not resemble Jadeite, Kunzite, or any of the other Shitennou. However, reincarnation only reincarnated the soul and not the physical body.
On his way back to his seat, Keith glanced over at Sailor Venus sitting with the rest of the faculty. To his surprise, she was staring at him instead of watching the next graduate get her diploma. When he caught her eye, she just smiled and winked. Keith flushed and nearly stumbled.
