Hey, everyone! Well, maybe you've seen my fanfics lurking around this site [ever heard of Finding Love in the Strangest Places and Waiting and Letting Go of a Lover…?]. Now, I'm trying to work on another crossover concerning Minako. In this story, she's paired up with…Heero! Not too many of those fics present so I decided to get to action. LOL! Anyway, Heero may be a bit OOC here…I dunno! I don't know him personally so don't sue me if I'm wrong about his personality or his actions. Anyway, please read and review! Thanks a bunch!

MY BODYGUARD…MY LOVER
Chapter 1 ~ It's a Mission
"Thank you! Thank you very much, everyone!" cried a teary-eyed blonde, her award in one hand the other waving about. "I couldn't have done it without all of you." And then she waved one last time to the audience and stepped off the stage, the crowd cheering for her.
Backstage, microphones were shoved in front of her almost immediately. "Minako Aino, how does it feel to have your first Oscar?" a reporter fired away instantly. "Well," the blonde started. "It's kinda surreal, actually. I mean, my second movie already earned me this," she answered as she held up her award. A soft and furry movement was felt around her ankles and she looked down and saw a white cat purring happily. "Artemis," she said happily and picked up the cat. "I couldn't have done it without you, either," she added, nuzzling her feline friend.
"Excuse me, but Ms. Aino won't be answering any more questions for the moment," interjected an old woman in her mid-forties clad in a grey business suit. "If you wish you could go to her press conference in 2 days and ask as many questions as time would allow," said the woman. "She's tired as you can see."
"Sorry, but Ms. Farlea is right," Minako said, addressing the woman who's also her manager. And then she was whisked away by two of the event security guards.

"And you heard it here first, folks. The lovely Minako Aino and her first Oscar," sounded the woman on TV.
"Woohoo! She won!" cried a guy in black overalls, his arms waving in joy. "Stop it, Duo," said Wufei. "It's justifiable for a guy to cheer if his favorite basketball team won, but it's disgraceful to hear a man cheer for a wimpy actress."
"Right on, grasshopper," Duo replied, his fingers in a salute. "Wax on. Wax off. Wax on. Wax off," teased the guy as he hopped away from the living room. The Chinese boy just shook his head and continued to eat his dinner. Quatre changed channels and stopped at the news.
"Earlier today, a young geneticist was said to be kidnapped when she was working in the lab. Nineteen-year old Ami Mizuno, genetics engineer, was working on a new medical cure when at eight o'clock this evening, she was found missing by one of her colleagues. Security cameras where supposed to capture the crime scene but the tape was nowhere to be found. Police are already investigating on this. This is Sherry McLore reporting for F7 news"
When Quatre turned the television off, he turned to Wufei and said, "That's the 3rd kidnapping case this week."
"So what?" shrugged the Chinese. "Kidnapping is very popular these days."
"I don't know. It's rather odd, don't you think? First, that cook, Makoto. Then the temple priestess, Rei. They didn't even leave a ransom note! I just think there's more to it than kidnapping or ransom," the blonde reasoned out.
"We'll know soon enough," Heero said as he got off the phone, letting his presence known to the two boys. "Pack up, we've got mission."

Well, whaddya think? Short as usual but hey, I'm just starting out! I'll try to make it more exciting next time. I've already written chapters 2 and 3 but am too lazy to type it in. Maybe tomorrow. LOL! ^_^ please read and review! ----jd_anney
