Disclaimer, I was tired of all the really bad stories. I know it looks long but it's full of plots turns and imagery if you're a die-hard fan of ANY senshi so

Feel free to skip to any part in the story. This beginning sucks. (I wrote it in 2003 XP)

Have fun! All this belongs to "Queen" Naoko and her peeps.

A story of Kunzite and Minako Aino: the princess of Venus. SIMI (silver millennium)

Part 1/Teaser: Visiting You

She had such blue eyes.

That night was warm. She sat at her vanity mirror slowly raking her brush down her long golden hair. It felt soft against her fingertips. Was it her hair that felt so soft or was it the lack of work her fingers had exercised? She hadn't fought an enemy in a long time. She yearned to see her friends but one more glance around her room reminded her of how alone she was. She sighed and listened to her own voice echo across the spacious lemon room.

With a flop of her arm she turned off the light and mechanically draped her light shawl it around her shoulders. She was a princess. A mother-less girl born from the foam of the sea.

Pulling back her large fluffy blankets she laid her head on her pillow. Before she closed her eyes she ran her fingers over the pillow next to hers. The soft silk was cold against her round fingertips. It made her lonely. Even the princess of Venus gets cold.

In one graceful movement he had slipped over the wall and was gliding deftly across the castle grounds. The grass moved under his feet, it's sweet smell filled his nostrils with a soft perfume of due and moss. It was as lovely as he had heard. But his mission was at hand. He had to stay focused. After turning a corner her saw a fountain of a child and it's mother. He made for it and dove behind the marble dress, pressing his back against its strangely warm surface. He turned his head around to see if there were any more guards. He was very close to the castle base now and security would be thick. The slightest wrong movement could get him detected.

He would never get caught, he knew. He could leave any time he needed to. But he needed to get the layout of Magellan: the Veniciun castle. A bit of white hair fell into his face. Slowly, he brushed it aside.

A man in white uniform stood facing toward the fountain. If Kunzite didn't know better, he'd say the soldier was a stone like the fountain he was up against. His fingers griped the stone. His eyes roamed the silhouette of Magellan. Many of the windows were lit with the burning light of candles. They filled the rooms and showed the heaven-like glow. "The Princess there likes the warmth of the candles." He had it heard in a tale once told by his master.

One window drew his silent attention. A young lady stood. The golden lining of her hair shone in the moonlight. The candles that lay on this windowsill went out just as quickly as he had seen the girl. An emotion flowed through his chest and he made a motion to move toward the forbidden light. He yearned to find out what was in that room.

A mistake. The moment he realized it, it had been too late. The young man dressed in white sprung forward and shot a blaze into the air. It rose and burst into a thousand tiny blue flames. They hovered and lit the area for a moment. It was as if the world had suddenly sprung to life, voices called and lights came on. More blue shots found their way, illuminating the sky and blocking out the earth that hung in the sky like a glass diner plate. He ran. He was out of his mind for fear that they would see him. He pounded the ground one foot after another trying to get away from the brilliant blue lights. He found a pillar in a corner of a building. He pulled his cape around him and hid himself. He breathed carefully and watched the men rush about. Ridiculous boys. Silly, but cleverly trained.

She hadn't closed her eyes for long. She hadn't seen the blue out side her window crackle it's glow flash across her bedroom. Her maid knocked on the door in a rushed sort of panic.

"Mam!" her voice was muffled through the door. Minako stood and wrapped a shawl around her shoulders. She made her way to the door fumbling about with the knob half scared that something horrible had happened, half excited that she could be a senshi as she had been longing to. Her blood warmed and her mouth drew in a breath.

"Lady Bea! What's happened?" Minako flung open the door and stood ready before the pleasant looking maid. "Don't pause to breath, what's going on?" She hadn't been in such a flurry for a long time. Lady Bea took so long to say what it was! Why wouldn't she say it and let the fight begin? Did she think she couldn't handle it?

The maid's answer came quickly. An intruder had been found on the castle grounds. They couldn't find the person and they needed to inform her that she was to lock her door and prepare-just in case. Minako let her hands drop.

"Nani?" Stay put? The maid nodded vigorously, misinterpreting the disappointment in her princess's eyes.

"Yes, but never fear! We will find who ever it is before the night is out! We are all very determined to protect you." With a curtsy of pride the fat little woman gathered up her gowns and scurried down the hallway. Halfway out of sight she turned, shook a wary finger, and pointedly demanded, "Don't sneak out".

This, of course, was the plan.
