I couldn't help it!!! Omg I had to start another story! I know, I know, I should probably begin working on some of my others, but I had this great idea for a story and had to do it.
This is my first attempt at a more darker kind of story, so sorry if it totally sucked -_-;;
Anyways here's the story…

Love Will Find A Way By CesoLove…
What was the real meaning of the word Love? Attraction? A way of keeping score in Tennis? Some people find love. Other's are destined to fool themselves into believing their in love.
So how was it, that the once power Sailor Venus, goddess of love and beauty, finds herself in a predicament, not even she can get out of. A part of her wants to leave. Another forces her to stay.
Minako pressed her hand to her forehead, trying to release the pain bottled up. How long had it been? Six years. It only seemed like yesterday she had gotten herself into this mess. But it had actually been six years.
~*~Flashback ~*~
Minako was walking down the sidewalk, precariously balancing three bags of groceries when her foot caught in the crack of the sidewalk. Just as she found herself falling down towards the ground, a stable pair of arms wrapped themselves around her.
Caring eyes stared into hers; "Are you all right?" came an almost angelic voice. Minako could only nod stupidly.
~*~
Minako sighed as she rubbed her forehead again. If she could go back in time, she would sit there berating her past self for being so venerable. So desperate for something all her friends had had, but not her. The damn word called love.
Of course, nothing is ever entirely bad. While she was sitting there feeling sorry for herself, she had to remember the one good thing that had come out of this. The bundle sleeping in her arms.
Minako gently hugged the sleeping child closer to her in attempt to find some sort of warmth from the child. It seemed only the child could make her feel loved now a days.
Her name was Grace. Grace, the daughter of Minako and Damon Quinn. Also known as Minako's joy. Minako Quinn. Not Minako Aino. No, now she was Quinn.
"Mummy…" came a tired little voice from Minako's arms.
"Yes honey?" Minako replied tenderly.
"When's Daddy coming home?"
Hopefully never, Minako wanted to reply but instead, "Soon, why don't you have a nice nap?"
"Mmm" Grace said as she snuggled into her mother's arms.
Minako ran her fingers across Grace's face. So soft. So trusting.
The child bore an enormous resemblance to Minako. She had golden hair and blue eyes, and even acted more like Minako. Had Grace of acted like her father… well that wouldn't have been good.
"I'm home!" came a gruff voice. One that demanded obedience. Minako said nothing for a moment. She wanted to simply disappear into the walls with her precious child. But then… that would have been too simple wouldn't it.
The small bundle in her arms stirred. Don't wake up, Minako mentally screamed at the child, just go back to sleep. Don't face the evils of this world.
A few curses were omitted from the kitchen area. Minako sighed, she would have to speak up sooner or later, "We're in the living room. Don't make too much noise, Grace is sleeping," Minako said lightly, though loud enough for him to hear. He wouldn't make a scene with Grace around.
The man walked into the room. He was handsome, basically your 'tall dark and handsome' kind of guy. The one that had so kindly captured Minako's heart and refused to let go.
His business suit was slightly ruffled but other than that, he seemed to be in a semi good mood.
"How was your day?" Minako asked dully. She had to ask. He demanded it.
"It was…fine," he muttered as he eyed Grace. Minako had a huge urge to hide the child from his gaze, "We need to talk," he told her sternly.
Minako knew what this meant, 'put Grace to bed so I can tell you exactly who your going to be killing tonight'.
Minako stood and walked into Grace's room. She would have stayed in the cozy pink room if he hadn't of followed, "Night precious," Minako muttered under her breath as she gently pushed away a piece of hair that had fallen across Grace's face.
"Hurry up," Damon hissed at her. Minako turned away from Grace. She didn't want her child to see what she had become. When Minako was younger, Fighting away monsters as Sailor V, she had always imagined telling her children exactly what she did. Having them look up at her in pride. But now… Minako never wanted her child to find out what she did for a living.
Damon herded her out of the room and quickly closed the door. His eyes were filled with hatred and evil. If only she could have seen that six years ago…
"Would you sit down already? I don't have time for your crap today," He said in an exaggerated voice. Minako sat down, more quickly than she would have liked.
"You know, I've been working hard all day and all I ask you to do is one simple task and you get all bitchy at me," he snapped at her, like it was her fault. Minako didn't say anything. She knew better.
"We'll talk about this later. This is the man you have to kill. His name is Tomas Bently," Damon said as he handed her a folder. Minako didn't even glance at it as he passed it too her. He looked at her for a second, as though expecting her to open it. When she didn't his lip curled up an angry sneer.
His hand lashed out and grabbed Minako by her throat. Minako instinctively reached up and pulled feebly at his hand. So much for Sailor V. He pulled her face inches from his, "You're going to do it, and your going to damn well enjoy it," he hissed at her.
Minako simply nodded, feeling tears spring to her eyes. He released her and stood up. His eyes ran over her a few times before he finally turned and left. Minako rubbed her sore neck a couple of times before also standing up. She grabbed her coat and put it on. Look at what Mommy's become Grace.
Minako stepped out the door and into the frozen air. It was a quick relief, but it didn't last long. She needed to get to Gentom road quickly. He hated it when she was late. He figured these things only took a minute to do.
Minako placed the envelop in her coat then pulled her coat closer to her. Suddenly everything became blurry. No, don't cry. Minako willed herself as she felt a tear slip down her face. Don't cry. She told herself again, but this time, it only caused her tears to fall faster. Minako reached up and rubbed at her face.
Suddenly Minako collided with something hard. She felt herself falling backwards. She closed her eyes and prepared herself for the harsh impact, but it never came. Minako opened her eyes to release she was staring at the ground, yet not moving towards it. Something was wrapped around her waist.
Minako looked up into a pair of violet eyes. Warm, friendly, yet concerned eyes. Stop it, Minako scowled herself. She had fallen for this trick one to many times.
"Hey are you okay?" the man asked. He actually sounded concerned.
"I'm fine," Minako replied back, "Er… thank you," she said carefully. Minako stood standing upright now, but the man didn't let go. He simply stared into her eyes. Minako began to shift under his gaze. What was he looking at?
Suddenly he reached out. Minako felt the instinctive urge to protect her neck… but instead, his hand travelled to her cheek. His finger brushed away a small tear that had been rolling down her face mere moments ago.
"You're crying," he said softly.
"I'm fine," Minako repeated, but her voice broke half way through the 'I'm fine'. He looked at her carefully. God, the man knew she was lying. She shuddered.
"I'm Duo Maxwell," he said after what seemed like hours. Six years ago, Minako would have stopped to talk. But now…
"And I must be going," Minako said quickly. Her voice was still shaking! Why was she so weak!
"I hope we met again," he said quietly as she walked past him. She went five steps away from him before turning back to him, "Trust me, you don't want to met me again," she said coldly before turning and walking away.
