A/N: Sorry if this fanfic sucks. I'm only 12, after all…

Summary: Minako sees Yaten at the Crown by pure coincidence, and gets to spend some time with him! But there's one small complication…

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or any of the characters.

Encounter at the Crown

16-year old Minako Aino (Nickname: Mina) walked down the frosty streets of Tokyo. She had just left her high school.

Darn, Minako thought despairingly, I can't believe I got another 54 on this test, too!

As Minako was sulking, a raucous yelling interrupted her thoughts. It was coming from the Crown, the game arcade she loved to stop by. She decided to go there today too, for 2 reasons. The raucous yelling intrigued her a bit, and she didn't feel like facing her mother's wrath once she got home.

Minako walked through and greeted Motoki, the college student who worked for the arcade part time.

"Hi, Motoki-san," Mina said cheerfully, forgetting all about her bad test grade, "How are you?"

"Fine, Minako-chan," he replied. "Business has been good today."

"Why?"

"Well, it's kind of self-explanatory once you see it. Anyway, have fun!"

Motoki walked away, sighing.

I wonder if some really big idol or person was here! Minako thought. Yeah right, Minako, what kind of idol would just walk right into a public place like this. Minako hit herself mentally in the head.

But it turns out; there were idols that just walked into arcades.

The Starlights.

Why didn't she notice them before? The arcade was filled up with Starlight fans, all cheering.

All the Starlights were playing the Sailor V game. Minako found herself happy that Yaten was playing Sailor V.

Seiya was pressing the buttons almost lazily. He was doing fine, despite his slow movements.

Taiki was staring at the screen hitting the controls violently and playing as if winning this game was a life or death matter.

And last but not least, Yaten Kou. God, he was gorgeous, Minako thought dreamily. He was her favorite among the three teenagers. He had long silver hair in a loose ponytail, and emerald green eyes, deep as the ocean. His attitude was cold. But that was one of the things Minako liked about him the most.

Or anyways, his attitude was usually cold. Minako sweatdropped.

Yaten was yelling at the video game, throwing a TANTRUM. A TANTRUM.

"DAMN THIS FREAKING GAME! IT'S NOT FAIR! I ONLY GOT A FEW HUNDRED POINTS! DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!" Yaten screamed.

Minako sweatdropped even more. Then, she began to want to laugh. She tried to hold it in, but she just felt like she couldn't. Even though she was trying hard, a small giggle escaped her lips. Then another one. Then she started to double over.

Yaten heard this giggling, and thought, who could be laughing at me? I mean, I didn't do that badly.

He scanned the crowd of adoring fans, and noticed a red ribbon. He immediately knew who it was.

It wasn't like he was keeping tabs on her or anything, but she just stuck out so much. In a bad way. She was the most annoying pest out of all the fans surrounding him. She tailed him around the school and begged him everyday for a autograph, even though he gave her a few already.

It was Minako Aino, idol wanabe and pro Starlight stalker.

Of course, Yaten would never mention that he liked Minako. Like, loved her liked her.

"Why are you here!" Yaten nearly yelled.

Minako was hurt by his words, but composed her expression to make sure he wouldn't notice.

"IKE, Yaten-kun!" Minako screamed energetically.

Seiya rolled his eyes. Taiki didn't even notice Minako and kept going at his game.

Yaten was about to scream a rude comeback but didn't have the chance.

"THANK YOU FOR COMING TO THE CROWN TODAY. WE ARE NOW CLOSING. PLEASE COME AGAIN," the loudspeaker stated. The group of fans groaned, and then showered the Starlights with gifts. Seiya nodded appreciatively, Taiki kept playing his game, and Yaten got the chance to yell his comeback. (I'm not going to say it cuz it's waay inappropriate.)

The Starlights and Minako waited for the crowd to clear so they could leave in peace.

"Konnichiwa," Minako said happily. "It's so guzen that you guys are here!" (A/N: Guzen means coincidentally.)

Seiya responded with a "hey" and a lopsided grin, Taiki was too busy concentrating on his game and getting yelled at by Motoki ("The Crown should be closed already!") and Yaten controlled his urge to embrace Minako and instead plainly stated, "hi".

Minako wanted to continue the conversation, but was pushed alongside the Starlights outside by an irritated Motoki.

"Well…see you," Taiki murmured, already consumed in a book Minako would never even attempt to read.

"Bye," Seiya said, grinning.

"See you tomorrow," Yaten mumbled.

"Ah-ah-ah," Seiya stopped Yaten from walking away. "Yaten would like to stay with you for a bit, Mina-chan."

Yaten whirled around to face Seiya fiercely. "WHAT?" he hissed into Seiya's ear.

"Trust me," Seiya whispered back. "This is your chance to get close to your goddess of beauty and love!" (Seiya doesn't know how right he is yet…lol.)

Yaten considered this and then slowly nodded to Minako, who was waiting for his answer impatiently.

"YAAAY!" Minako cheered. "Let's go then, Yaten-kun!"

Yaten sighed, but inside, he felt his heart expand.

-So whadya think of it? Please, please, please review!
