Sunlight filtered through the slightly open window of Mina's bedroom, a soft summer breeze ruffling her yellow curtains, and fell over the sleeping form of Minako Aino. She sighed in her sleep and rolled over to face the sunlight, slipping away from the bliss of dreamland. Her crystal blue eyes fluttered open to welcome the new day with a sweet, sleepy smile as she groaned, softly, and threw aside her covers, placing her feet on the soft, carpeted floor. "Good Morning Mina!" Artimis greeted as he agilely leapt up beside Mina, purring as she petted his head. "Morning Artimis." She said, her voice soft and loving as she petted her guardian cat's white fur. She got up and went to her bathroom; being as quiet as possible so her mother would not know she was awake. As she went about her morning rituals Mina let her thoughts wander. Damian.she felt drawn to him. It couldn't be love; she didn't want it to be love. She had loved to many times, and her heart had been broken to many times. Kunzite in the Silver Millennium, Kaitou Ace who ended up being her enemy, Asai, who ended up loving someone else, and maybe Yaten, who was a girl as a Sailor Scout. But the one that hurt the most was Alan. Alan. Mina had fallen in love with him in England, it had been more than a crush; it had been love. One day she introduced Katarina, her "onee-chan" her best friend to him. What she hadn't understood at the time was that they both thought of her as a child and fell in love with each other. Mina found out in the most painful way possible. She was in a battle as Sailor V. Sailor V had to go on a mission to a warehouse. In the battle the warehouse exploded and Sailor V was badly injured. She had crawled out of the ruins to an ally nearby. And there her heart had been ripped in two. In the ally Katarina and Alan sat, crying and consoling each other over the 'death' of Sailor V. but not like friends would console each other. Mina had realized the painful truth and dragged herself away to another section off the ally, where she had buried her head in her knees and cried. After Alan Mina had promised her heart that she would never truly love again. Even as she realized just how lonely she was when Asai walked in her love life and back out again, trampling over her scarred heart, she still would not let herself truly love. But now it seemed that she might break her silent promise. Maybe she just wouldn't see him again and she can let the feelings slip away. Mina sighed as she tied her red ribbon in her hair, glancing over herself to see if she was presentable, and ran downstairs, grabbing a muffin and her backpack as she ran out the door with Artimis, deliberately avoiding her mother. She didn't feel like putting up with her right now.
~~~~~{~~~@((((((((@~~~}~~~~~
Strangely Mina found herself back at the pond from the day before. Mina smiled as she sat down on the welcoming bench, gazing over the water and watching the ducks as they played with not a care in the world. She searched through the orange backpack she had brought with her for her diary and a pen. Much like Serena she kept a diary with her full of fantasies and musings. She guarded it well, for it held information about her secret identity as Sailor Venus in it. Artimis jumped up and lay on her lap, watching her as she wrote a few quick notes in it and put it beside her with a dreamy sigh. Mina tensed as she sensed someone approaching her from behind. She placed one hand on Artimis and the other on the pocket on the front of her pack, where her transformation pen lay. "Hey Mina! It's good to see you again!" Mina jumped and turned around as a familiar blond haired, emerald-eyed man walked up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder in greeting. She glared at him. "Damian, do you always sneak up on innocent girls from behind?" she asked, slipping the sacred diary safely back into her pack. Damian grinned in a boyish way. "I don't know, are you innocent?" he sat down next to her on the bench. Artimis looked up at him suspiciously; there was something about him that seemed.different. He seemed almost familiar. It was like they knew him from somewhere before. Artimis shook the thought from his head and focused on the conversation Mina and Damian where having. "Well that is certainly no way to capture a lady's heart, now is it? What are you doing here?" Damian thought for a while. The real reason he had come was to, hopefully, find Mina again.but he couldn't tell her that. There was something about her that drew him to her. "I was walking to the Crown Arcade on the other side, just passing through. What are you doing here?" Mina smiled. "I like to come here to write in my diary and just to think. It's so peaceful." Damian nodded, agreeing. "Hay, want to come to the arcade with me?" Mina agreed and they got up, Artimis perched on Mina's shoulder. As they walked they told each other about their lives and family and school and other things. Mina learned he was a junior in the high school Darien went to; he lived with only his father and little brother. "So, Mina, enough about me. What about you?" in turn mina told Damian all about her own life. They ended up spending the whole day together, talking and laughing like they where old friends. Mina didn't know weather she should trust him with her heart or not.she had gotten hurt so many times already.but there was something about him that calmed her and made her want to truly trust him. Later that night he parked in front of her house, the setting sun behind him. "It was great seeing you again Mina! I had a great time! Can we meet again? At noon tomorrow?" mina smiled, her breath caught in her chest. He was breathtaking, she thought to herself. A soft blush painted her cheeks as she brushed back a lock of golden hair from her eyes. "I would love that, Damian. I had a great time to. You're a very nice and interesting person. Goodnight!" Damian blushed, smiling, and watched as mina waved and ran back into her house. He sighed, acknowledging the fast beating of his heart and how the gold in the sunset made him think of Mina's hair and the brightness of her smile. Damian's eyes went back to the small, quaint house that mina lived in. A light flipped on in a window on the second story. Damian's heartbeat quickened as a shadow floated across the curtain in the window, mina's figure. Damian shook his head and sighed in frustration as he got back in his car. How could he fall for such a young girl? ~~~~~{~~~@((((((((@~~~}~~~~~ Mina yawned and flopped down on her bed, rubbing her eyes. She smiled and chatted with Artimis as she sat in her chair and worked on the knit sweater she had been working on for Diana's upcoming birthday. Suddenly there was a loud, rapid beeping, Mina's sailor scout watch. She pressed the little button after she opened it. "Mina!! Hurry to downtown, on the corner of 10th and Main!! A new enemy! They are very strong.AHH!!!" the voice faded, leaving a shocked Mina. "LITA!!! Venus Crystal Power!!" she quickly transformed and ran, Artimis on her shoulder, as fast as her feet would carry her to the location Lita told her of. She jumped up on a wall and made her dramatic entrance. "Hold it right there you pitiful excuse for a monster!" the monster below looked like an evil, warped version of dolphin on two legs with spikes coming out of his back, scales that looked like they could be thrown, and red eyes. Mina frowned. "Protected by my guardian planet, Venus, the Scout of Love and Beauty, I am Sailor Venus! And on the behalf of Venus, I will throw down your punishment of love from heaven!" she jumped down from the wall, landing in front of her pinned up friends, and raised her hands, her jaw set, a determined look in her eyes. "Venus Love and Beauty Shock!!" the attack hit right on, but the monster didn't even flinch. A look of evil pleasure rose in his eyes that made Mina's blood boil. "Well, well, well. Welcome to my show Venus! Glad you could Hang out with us!!" the monster tossed it's head, sending a ton of razor sharp scales at the sailor. She tried to dodge, but the monster was incredibly fast. She screamed as she was thrown against the brick wall she had jumped off earlier. She looked next to her, seeing all of her friends pinned up against the wall, no tuxedo mask in sight. A red and purple electric looking light flashed across their skin, around the scales. She started to wonder what it was when she realized she could stand, the scaled weren't pinning her down. Then she actually tried to move, and was struck with a searing pain that almost blinded her. Panting she realized why her friends weren't moving. They where in a tight jail, and couldn't move. "Dolphinto you wont get away with this!! I wont let you!" she fought and fought the power surrounding her, but only succeeded in getting herself so tiered and in pain she could not move. Suddenly a blue streak flashed across her vision. She blinked, seeing a blue rose sticking out from the force field in front of her. She fell to the ground, with a weak gasp of pain. Four more roses where flung out, and one by one her companions fell beside her. She pushed herself to her knees and went over to Sailor moon, shaking her friends shoulder. "Serena! Sailor Moon! Get up!" Serena groaned and pushed herself up, an angry and determined look in her eyes. "Damb Monster." Mina herd Serena mutter, looking over the other scouts as they each struggled to their feet. "He's so strong.but we can defeat him!" "Sailor Moon! His only weak spot is on the tip of his nose, Aim there and use all your might!!" Serena did as she was told and the monster howled with pain then disappeared with a small explosion. Mina looked to the man, getting ready to thank Tuxedo Mask for his help, once again, and then gasped. It wasn't tuxedo mask standing up there. The man was tall, with golden bangs protruding from under the hood of his long blue cloak. He looked like a swordsman from the Medieval period clad in a Rouge's attire. "W-who are you? Are you our enemy or our ally? What was that thing?" Mina asked, stepping forward. The man grinned under his hood and chuckled. "I am called the Starlight Rouge. That is all you need to know about me. That thing was called a Ventris. That is all I can tell you for now. Goodbye Sailor Scouts." Just before the Starlight Rouge left his eyes locked with Mina's. Mina gasped as she saw the flash of emerald from under his hood, then he turned and ran away, just as tuxedo mask jumped up. "Who was that?" he asked. Mina was speechless, unable to move. She just stood there, mouth slightly open, staring at the place where he left. Something about those eyes was familiar. She felt her heart pounding rapidly in her heart, like it did when Damian was around.Serena and the other girls' briefed Darien on what happened and the appearance of the mysterious Starlight Rouge. "Damian.?" Mina asked no one in particular, her breath caught in her throat. Serena and Darien embraced, then Serena noticed what Mina whispered. "Mina, do you know who the Starlight Rouge is?" Mina sighed and shook her head. "I'm not sure, but he looks a lot like Damian Cyril." that aroused a lot of questions about who Damian was. Mina blushed as she told them all about how she met Damian and everything she knew about him. "Yea, I've seen him around campus, he's a grade lower than I am so we haven't talked, but he seems to be a loner from what I see of him." Serena got an evil look in her eyes, which was soon mirrored by her friends. "So, Mina, a boyfriend huh??" Serena said, her tone evil. "No! It's not like that." "Yea! We want to meet this 'Damian' in person! To see if we approve!" Lita said, also with an evil tone of voice. "Don't you dare!!" everyone laughed, and Mina finally agreed to bring him to study buddies tomorrow. "Alright!!" they all de-morphed and went home to bed, Mina feeling very embarrassed and curious. Was Damian the Starlight Rouge? She told her Mina it wasn't true, just her hopes. But a corner of her heart still held the belief that it was. She wouldn't ask him about it.
Off in Serena's house Serena sighed as she cuddled in her blanket. "I'm glad Mina found someone.she deserves it." she thought to herself, just before she slipped off into the quiet bliss of dreamland.
