Crystal Palace Blues - Queen Minako
*Queen Minako's POV*
I stood on the hilltop which was located outside the Crystal Palace
of Venus. I was careful as to not trip and fall over the edge. There had
been nothing much to do at the palace so I had decided to go to my most
favourite place on Venus...The Crystal Hills. I bent down slowly and
picked up a Venusian Daisy. I smiled as I twirled it around between my
thumb and index fingers. "Minako," a voice said from behind me. I spun
around and pushed some of my golden blonde hair out of my face. A man
with white hair stood before me. I ran into his arms and put my face
up against his chest. He wrapped his strong hands around me and
blew into my ear. The man, of course could be no other than my husband
King Malachite of Venus. He is also Neo-King Endymion's chief general.
As I am the leader of the Inner Senshi of Neo-Queen Serenity.
Once Crystal Toyko had been established 10 years ago. The Inner and
the Outer Senshi worked on rebuilding their own home planets. When I
had arrived on Venus my old palace where I had grown up was in ruins.
With the help of my heart crystal I rebuilt the palace like it was before
Beryl attacked. Malachite and I then married later that year. We
ascended the throne of Venus a few months after that.
I smiled at him warmly. He smiled back at me and then frowned.
"Minako, you must go back to the palace. What would the people
say if they saw their Queen near the edge of this hilltop,"
Malachite whispered into my ear. "I suppose you're right but
it wouldn't be fair if I just let you drag me back to the palace
without a fair fight would it?" I laughed as I slid out of my
husband arms and started to run at a fast pace. In all my years
of being Sailor Venus I had got used to outrunning monsters and so on.
"Hey Minako," Malachite yelled as he frantically ran after me. My
long orange dress clung closely to my now sweaty legs. Oh this was
so unfair Malachite can run faster than me unless I call on Sailor
Venus. Yes Sailor Venus. I was going to beat my husband one and
for all. I reached into a invisible pocket in my dress. I dug around
and eventually found my henshi stick. I turned my head back around to
see Malachite a few yards behind me. "Henshi Yo" I whispered quietly.
I giggled loudly as I raised my henshi stick.
Venus Cosmic Power
"I call upon my home planet Venus, give me your strength to fight," I
yelled so that my voice could be heard throughout the whole hill-top.
I felt the yellow energy of Venus wrap around me. I hadn't felt that
energy against my skin for a few months. I finished transforming
and I made my final pose. I jumped up on to stone path which lay
above the area I had just stood on. Malachite caught up with me
and stopped dead as soon as he noticed that I seemed to have
disappeared. I tried to kept my self from giggling by covering
my mouth. I made my traditional pose and cleared my voice. "For chasing
the Queen of this planet I will punish you. I am the original senshi of
love, Sailor Venus." He stared at my and then made a look that said 'Come
on Minako give it up' I shrugged and smiled. "Ok I'll play along with
your little game Minako." "You won't regret it. A senshi under the
command of Serenity and a general under the command of Endymion. Piece of
cake." "I'm the lead general of the Terrian planet, Earth. And you
have made a mistake by threatening me," He said as he slammed his sword
in the ground.
Earth Ground Blast!
I jumped and did a flip in the air barely missing his attack. I landed
safely on my feet. "Is that the best you can do," I chucked with mocked
humor. He picked his sword up and started charging towards me. I took
a step to the side missing him as he flew by. I pointed my finger towards
the air and...
Venus Cresant Beam Smash!
It hit him in the back. He mumbled something about just wait until tonight.
We flew towards each other as a shocking pace. I shot a kick towards him.
I was fast but not fast enough to hit him. He caught my leg while it was
still in the air. He laughed. He twisted it and I flew to the ground. I felt
ashamed i had been beaten by the old trick in the book. He reached
out his hand.
Venus Love Chain Encirle
The chain wrapped around his legs and pulled him to the floor. I laughed
He had fallen down right beside me. He mumbled and rolled around
trying to get the chain off him. "Minako," He yelled. "What!" I
demanded. He looked down at the chain that encircled him. "Get
this for gods saken chain off. "Oh but you won't let me does this
if i took the chain off. I rolled towards him and kissed him on the
lips. "Venus Love Chain Discircle," I muttered. He grabbed me and pulled me
onto oh him so I rest on his strong chest. "Detransform," I commanded
yet again. My own orange dress clung to my body again. I started to
get off him but he grabbed me. "They wouldn't notice if you and me
stayed out here for a while, now would they?" He asked. "No I guess
not." He embraced me and pulled me closer to his chest.
I had spent the next two hours out in the mountains with Malachite.
Soon as we got home we crawled into the bed again for some
more quiet time. I'd say that I had been sleeping for a few hours.
I reached towards the other side of my bed hoping to feel my husband chest
vibrating up and down. Nothing. What! I opened my eyes and looked towards
the other side of the bed. My hands were right there was nobody there.
I looked towards the clock on the small table on my side of the bed.
It read: 12:00PM. Maybe he went out for a nap. I tried to use my
mental link with my husband to find out where he was. I know that
it wasn't the honest thing to do, but I was worried about him. I
felt nothing..that means he not in the palace. On my god, the only way
he would ever leave me or the palace was if a war had broken out in
the streets of Crystal Venus. I pulled the bed covers back.
I began to pace back and forward across the room. Where could he be?
Jennie, of course I could ask he if she's seen him. Jennie was my chief
bodyguard. Most people often just referred to her as in 'the service of
our beloved Queen'.
"Jennie,"I said. She then heard the door open. I had known the
Jennie was standing watch outside my door as she often did when she
couldn't sleep or when I didn't feel too well. "Yes Minako-sama," she
stated. I smiled remembering how I had told her many times not to
address me as 'my Queen', 'Your majesty', 'Your highness'. "Malachite
have seen him. I'm worried I sense that he's not in the palace." I
told her. "No I haven't seen him. I'm sure he's fine." I nodded.
"Thank-you Jennie," I said. "Please my...Minako-sama," she mentally
slapped herself realizing her mistake. "I'll try." I signaled for
her to leave. She curtsied deeply. I crawled back into bed and lay my
head down on the pillow again. I tried to get back to sleep..I really
did. But I just felt lonely without Malachite in bed beside me.
I sat on the bench in my private garden reading a old book that was
based back in the middle ages. It had bugged me for ages about where
Malachite had been. I managed to get back to sleep but that was only
after I took a sleeping tablet and lay down on the bed. I feel asleep
quickly after that. It always to do the trick. I hadn't seen Malachite
all day and I was getting worried about him yet again. But I had asked
many servants and they had all said that they had seen him earlier today.
The wind blew a branch beside me on a nearby tree, I looked up..nothing.
Where in god's name was he? I saw a flash of white hair through the trees
directly in front of me. Malachite..no that can't be, what would he be
doing walking through a forest at this time of day. "Malachite," I called
out towards the figure which I thought was him. I thought that he hadn't
heard me, but then he suddenly stopped and turned his head towards me.
"Minako," he called out, "What are you doing out here?" I frowned and
then answered him,"I was sitting here reading a book when I saw you.
The question is what are you doing here? You weren't in bed last night.
I was worried." He ran towards me and stopped dead in front of me. "Um well
I was out you know I had some matters to attend to. Some people where
outside of the gate and wanted to see you about something but i went
down and fixed it up." "Ooohh." Is that all I had to say, I was dead
worried about him and all I can say is oohh. Stupid Minako! His eyes darted
towards him watch, and back to my face. "Sweety, I have to go so maybe
I can catch up with you later?" "Sure why not?" I told him as he bent
over and kissed my cheek gently and then continued to run through
the forest. I walked back towards my bench and started reading my book again.
I thought about my upcoming birthday which was in two weeks. I now had
given up any hope of counting how old I was. I laughed and closed my
book and walked back inside the palace to get some much needed sleep
because i suddenly felt very tired.
One Week Later:
I had woken up around midnight frequently for the last couple of days
to discover that my love, Malachite wasn't asleep beside me. I asked
him again why he wasn't there and all he could say was that he had business
to attend to. He wouldn't go into detail. One certain morning I opened
my eyes to find yet again nobody beside me. I pulled the blankets off
my bed suddenly and rushed into the bathroom. I hated this. I had
eaten fish from Neptune the other night and god i felt sick straight
after that. But Malachite wasn't at dinner last night for some reason.
I worried about that man. We never spent time anymore. He hadn't said
that he loved me for a few days...heck we had hardly spoken. I finished
throwing up my guts a little while later. I had decided to find out where
my husband went every night...and tonight was the night. Where ever he went
tonight I would follow secretly and hide in the shadows watching his
every move.
Later that night:
I had managed to keep myself awake even through my body was yearning
for sleep. I then felt that now familiar feeling of him getting out
of our bed. I kept my eyes closed trying to convince him that I was
still asleep. If I wasn't too careful I would accidentally fall asleep.
I heard him putting his armor on and begin to walk out of the room.
His footsteps echoed throughout the whole room violently. Suddenly they
stopped and spun around quickly and started to make their way towards me.
I kept my eyes closed praying that he wouldn't notice that I wasn't asleep.
He bent down slowly and pushed a bright golden strand of my hair out of
my face. "Minako," he whispered, "I love you." He smiled and lifted
himself up from the ground and continued walking towards the door of which
he carefully closed on his way out. I giggled childishly
and pushed myself upright so I leaned against the headboard of my bed.
He must of been saying that every night and i never heard him.
I smiled. I was overjoyed. I thought I had done something wrong. But now
i had to make a descion shall I still follow him. Ok this is simple
I trust my husband and he trust me..doesn't he. This is so wrong. I
shouldn't follow him if he found out he would kill me. Ok Minako there's
there choices.
Choice One: Follow him and find out what's happening
Choice Two: Sit here and wait for him while i worry myself crazy.
Choice Three: Go back to sleep.
Ok why do i think that at the moment Choice 1 is looking fantastic.
No I must leave him alone come on I trust him more than anyone in
this universe well except Serenity. I've got to follow him I wanted
to know why he been acting like this and this is the only way I'm ever
going to find out. I jumped out of bed and reached for my henshi
stick which lay on top of my bedside draws. I studied the Venus symbol
emblazed upon it for a moment. "Henshi Yo," I whispered.
Venus Cosmic Power
Ok this was a bad idea. I managed to catch up with Malachite after
running through what I swear was some of my roses. Besides
that it had started to rain. My fuku was now thoroughly drenched and I knew
that I was going to get a cold by doing this. I stood in the darkness
and watched Malachite get out of his car and walk up to a house well more
like a mansion than a house. He knocked on the door and then turned
around to look in my direction as if to see if anybody was watching. A
women opened the door for him and smiled warmly encouraging to go inside.
She had light brown hair and wore a knee length dress. I couldn't tell
the colour of her dress but it was something similar to dark green or
dark blue. Malachite looked around once more before he entered
the house. She shut the door immediately after Malachite was inside.
I leaned against a brick wall which was located across the road form
the house my husband just stepped into. Oh my god minako this was obvious
he was of course having an affair behind my back. For the past week he
had been leaving me and the safety of the crystal palace to go to that
women and her mansion. I couldn't believe it. We were married..we had
sworn to love each other for ever. They called it 'Eternal Love.'
He couldn't do this to me. What was she? At most a noblewoman. I was
the Queen of this whole planet what else did he want. Many men would
give an arm and a leg to sleep or be kissed by me. Yet he was just
ignoring my love and giving all his love to that that stuck up house
wrecker over there. I sled to the ground and uninvited tears poured down
my face. I covered my eyes with my hands. No I loved him and he
was supposed to love me forever. How can this be..it was my destiny!
I lay on my bed as tears poured down my face. It was now morning. The
birds were chirping and everybody was happy in the palace well that was
except for one person me. What I had witnessed last night had left me
depressed and heartbroken. I had only just managed to get back to the
palace in on piece. I hadn't seen Malachite last night and I didn't
intend to. He could go and jump off a bridge for all I care. I sniffed
and then blew my nose again. I was right last night I had caught a cold
and what had i discovered last night was that my husband was having an
affair with a rich, light brown coloured hair women who didn't seem to
care that Malachite was her King and that he was married. I heard a light
tap on the door. "What is it?" I yelled as I pushed my face back in the
pillow to muffled my cries.
"Minako-sama," a voice said. I noted that it was Jennie's. "Come in Jennie."
I quickly pushed my tissues underneath my bed covers and put on my brightest face.
Jennie entered the room and stared at me for a long time before she spoke,
"Are you feeling sick? Because I heard you sneezing and rushing to the
toilet. Have you got a cold?" "I think so but I'll be fine just leave me
and I'll be right," I answered hoping she would accept my explanation.
She moved towards me and sat down beside me. In some ways Jennie was
like a fellow senshi to me. We both protected someone or something and
acted the same way about making descions. "You've been crying," she observed.
I shrugged my shoulders absentmindly. "You look awful. Please let me go and
get a doctor." I frowned and faced in the direction opposite to her. "Please leave," I
ordered. She sat there still looking straight at me. "Did you not hear me?
I told you to please leave the room. it was an order not a
suggestion." She nodded and walked out of the room closing
the door behind her. I laid back on the pillow and continued crying.
I sat over the toilet bowl throwing up again. It had been a hour or
so since Jennie left me. She must of told Malachite..wasn't he here. But
would I really want him here anyway. I flushed the toliet and washed
my hands with soap. Pulled back my hair quickly and walked out of the
bathroom. I had my head bent towards the ground when I suddenly
heard voices in my bedroom. I looked up to find all my friends and
fellow senshi sitting around the room. Serenity, Ami, Hakura and
Michuru sat on the bed. Setsuna and Hotura sat on the couch. Lita and
Rei sat on the floor and finally to finish it off Endymion leaned
against the doorframe. I heard voices outside. I could tell
easily that they were the Inner and Outer Senshi's husbands, The
Earth Generals and the Moon Guard.
"Minako," Serenity said as she got off the bed. I ran up to her
and cried on her shoulder. She wrapped her arms around me and tried
to calm me down. She touched my forehead where my Venusian symbol sat.
"You hot..you've got a fever," Serenity told me and nodded towards
the Queen of the Knowledge and Ice Planet. I looked towards my fellow
companions. They all had smiles on my faces showing that they wanted
to try to cheer me up. "Who told you to come here?" I asked as if i
didn't know. "Jennie," Raye answered. I smiled. Outside I could hear
something going on but I didn't know what. I sat on my bed quietly
beside Serenity. I held my stomach again trying not to let on to the
others that I was feeling sick. Serenity and Ami looked towards me as
did some of other senshi. I door slammed open and Endymion suddenly became
alert. Malachite entered the room and searched for me.
He then saw me sitting on the bed and looking like hell as I
had been told earlier today by several people. He rushed towards me and
touched my shoulder. I pulled away from him. He never ever deserved to
touch me after what I saw last night. "Minako. You look awful what happened?"
He asked me. "Nothing you don't seem to care anyway." Several of the
girls gasped at my comment. "Minako," he whispered. "Leave me alone get out,"
I yelled standing up in front of him and pointing to the door. My legs then
gave out below me and the I feel to the floor but lucky Malachite managed
to grab me just in time. Ami rushed forward and started giving
out orders to everyone. Serenity rushed most of the senshi out except
her and Ami. Malachite also was rushed out of the room to.
I pushed my head further back into my fluffy pillows. I felt sick again
and this cold wasn't help or was being sick not helping the cold. I must
be losing my mind now. I knew this time would come. Ami had checked me out
and done all the usual things, check my pulse, see how my breathing is and
all that sort of stuff. Serenity sat beside me as Ami gave the verdict.
Ami stood to the left side of me and had a smile a mile wide on her face.
I looked at her strangely and she begin to talk. "Minako all I can say is
you've got a pretty severe cold and apart from that there's nothing wrong
with you. Also I mustn't forget to tell you this..well like i would forget
but Minako I'm proud to tell you that your pregnant." Serenity giggled.
No, I don't need this I'm supposed to be happy but now how can I raise a child
when his or her father is having an affair. They is the
worst day ever. Serenity and Ami looked at my face and frowned. "I have
something to tell you but you mustn't say anything..promise." I girls nodded
and sat on either side of me. "I followed Malachite last night to a mansion
where a lady opened a door to let him in. I think he's having
an affair." The girls looked towards me with sad faces. "Tell us all
about it," Serenity told her.
I had instructed Ami not to tell Malachite about the baby. I figured
that he would find out in due time. Ami had agreed only if I stay in bed
for the next few days which meant that I would have to stay in bed on my
birthday. Well what a birthday it will be anyway. I had told everybody
about the baby and Malachite and everytime he walks past them he gets
given a glare or a mutter of rude words. I smiled as my friends sat around
me rejoicing in my new found pregnancy. "What shall you name her?" Lita
asked. "Who says it going to be a girl," Endymion stated. "I just know Endy,"
Lita winked. I giggled. "As I matter of fact I think the baby is going to
be a girl and i will have to think about the name. What do you guys think
of Minako." They all laughed. 'What about if it's a boy?" Nephrite asked me.
I thought hard but one name just kept appearing in my head. "Malachite," I whispered. ]
I subbed quietly on Rei's shoulder. "Don't worry just wait that fool wouldn't
know what happened to him when we get through with him," she stated. "No please
leave him alone." "You still love him don't you?" Hotura said. "Yes, I'm tired
please go" I said to the other as I sobbed a little bit more.
2 days later
Malachite and I hardly spoke to one and another. He looked in on me
too see if I was alright but that was about it. Until the day of my
birthday when he approached me. "Minako, Love." I spun around and looked
him straight in the eye. "What do you want?" I asked. His voice got warm
and kind. "Please I have something to show you please come." He took my
hand and lead me up to the hill. It was thought that I had conceived
my baby up here but we would never know. "Why in hell are we up here?"
He ignored me and kept pulling me up the mountain. Up ahead I could
see that women that lived in that big posh mansion. "Her! Why am I here?"
"I'd like you to meet my friend Mary-Lee." He told me. "Or is
that what you call hoars these days." I spat at her. "Your highness
I'm glad to finally meet you I have heard alot about you from the
newspaper and you husband." I looked away. "Is it ready?" Malachite asked
her. She nodded and excused herself and walked down to the bottom of the
hills. We on the other hand continued up the hill.
As I got further up the hill i could smell Venusian daisies. We finally
reached the top of the hill. I looked around and saw daisy's scattered
around the grass and plenty of signs saying 'Happy Birthday Minako' There
was also a picnic blanket laid out on the ground with food spead across it.
"But how?" I asked. "Mary-Lee helped me do this. I suppose I was away most
of the nights preparing for this I wanted to make this birthday really
special. Tears dripped from my eyes. Malachite looked towards me. Concern
written all over his face. "I thought you were having an affair with
Mary-Lee." He looked at me and smiled, "So that why you've been ignoring
me for these last few days." I nodded. He kissed me quickly on the lips
and then dragged me to the picnic blanket and sat me down.
I looked at some of the food and nearly threw up. I used to love this sort
of food. But I don't know since i became pregnant. Oh my god he doesn't know.
I must tell him. "Malachite." He looked towards me. "Eat up please," he
said as he grabbed a small cake. "No I don't feel hungry. I have to
tell you something." I smiled. He nodded. "I must as well just come
right out with it, I'm pregnant!" Malachite sat there his face expressions
were about in between shocked and embarrassed. "That's wonderful. When
did you find out?" "Today." He reached over and kissed me on the lips.
"I have one more surprise for you. Look up there," Malachite said pointing
to the sky. I looked towards the sky and in pink writing the words:
Minako, I'll love you forever and always.

Jennie, of course I could ask he if she's seen him. Jennie was my chief
bodyguard. Most people often just referred to her as in 'the service of
our beloved Queen'.
"Jennie,"I said. She then heard the door open. I had known the
Jennie was standing watch outside my door as she often did when she
couldn't sleep or when I didn't feel too well. "Yes Minako-sama," she
stated. I smiled remembering how I had told her many times not to
address me as 'my Queen', 'Your majesty', 'Your highness'. "Malachite
have seen him. I'm worried I sense that he's not in the palace." I
told her. "No I haven't seen him. I'm sure he's fine." I nodded.
"Thank-you Jennie," I said. "Please my...Minako-sama," she mentally
slapped herself realizing her mistake. "I'll try." I signaled for
her to leave. She curtsied deeply. I crawled back into bed and lay my
head down on the pillow again. I tried to get back to sleep..I really
did. But I just felt lonely without Malachite in bed beside me.
I sat on the bench in my private garden reading a old book that was
based back in the middle ages. It had bugged me for ages about where
Malachite had been. I managed to get back to sleep but that was only
after I took a sleeping tablet and lay down on the bed. I feel asleep
quickly after that. It always to do the trick. I hadn't seen Malachite
all day and I was getting worried about him yet again. But I had asked
many servants and they had all said that they had seen him earlier today.
The wind blew a branch beside me on a nearby tree, I looked up..nothing.
Where in god's name was he? I saw a flash of white hair through the trees
directly in front of me. Malachite..no that can't be, what would he be
doing walking through a forest at this time of day. "Malachite," I called
out towards the figure which I thought was him. I thought that he hadn't
heard me, but then he suddenly stopped and turned his head towards me.
"Minako," he called out, "What are you doing out here?" I frowned and
then answered him,"I was sitting here reading a book when I saw you.
The question is what are you doing here? You weren't in bed last night.
I was worried." He ran towards me and stopped dead in front of me. "Um well
I was out you know I had some matters to attend to. Some people where
outside of the gate and wanted to see you about something but i went
down and fixed it up." "Ooohh." Is that all I had to say, I was dead
worried about him and all I can say is oohh. Stupid Minako! His eyes darted
towards him watch, and back to my face. "Sweety, I have to go so maybe
I can catch up with you later?" "Sure why not?" I told him as he bent
over and kissed my cheek gently and then continued to run through
the forest. I walked back towards my bench and started reading my book again.
I thought about my upcoming birthday which was in two weeks. I now had
given up any hope of counting how old I was. I laughed and closed my
book and walked back inside the palace to get some much needed sleep
because i suddenly felt very tired.
One Week Later:
I had woken up around midnight frequently for the last couple of days
to discover that my love, Malachite wasn't asleep beside me. I asked
him again why he wasn't there and all he could say was that he had business
to attend to. He wouldn't go into detail. One certain morning I opened
my eyes to find yet again nobody beside me. I pulled the blankets off
my bed suddenly and rushed into the bathroom. I hated this. I had
eaten fish from Neptune the other night and god i felt sick straight
after that. But Malachite wasn't at dinner last night for some reason.
I worried about that man. We never spent time anymore. He hadn't said
that he loved me for a few days...heck we had hardly spoken. I finished
throwing up my guts a little while later. I had decided to find out where
my husband went every night...and tonight was the night. Where ever he went
tonight I would follow secretly and hide in the shadows watching his
every move.
Later that night:
I had managed to keep myself awake even through my body was yearning
for sleep. I then felt that now familiar feeling of him getting out
of our bed. I kept my eyes closed trying to convince him that I was
still asleep. If I wasn't too careful I would accidentally fall asleep.
I heard him putting his armor on and begin to walk out of the room.
His footsteps echoed throughout the whole room violently. Suddenly they
stopped and spun around quickly and started to make their way towards me.
I kept my eyes closed praying that he wouldn't notice that I wasn't asleep.
He bent down slowly and pushed a bright golden strand of my hair out of
my face. "Minako," he whispered, "I love you." He smiled and lifted
himself up from the ground and continued walking towards the door of which
he carefully closed on his way out. I giggled childishly
and pushed myself upright so I leaned against the headboard of my bed.
He must of been saying that every night and i never heard him.
I smiled. I was overjoyed. I thought I had done something wrong. But now
i had to make a descion shall I still follow him. Ok this is simple
I trust my husband and he trust me..doesn't he. This is so wrong. I
shouldn't follow him if he found out he would kill me. Ok Minako there's
there choices.
Choice One: Follow him and find out what's happening
Choice Two: Sit here and wait for him while i worry myself crazy.
Choice Three: Go back to sleep.
Ok why do i think that at the moment Choice 1 is looking fantastic.
No I must leave him alone come on I trust him more than anyone in
this universe well except Serenity. I've got to follow him I wanted
to know why he been acting like this and this is the only way I'm ever
going to find out. I jumped out of bed and reached for my henshi
stick which lay on top of my bedside draws. I studied the Venus symbol
emblazed upon it for a moment. "Henshi Yo," I whispered.
Venus Cosmic Power
Ok this was a bad idea. I managed to catch up with Malachite after
running through what I swear was some of my roses. Besides
that it had started to rain. My fuku was now thoroughly drenched and I knew
that I was going to get a cold by doing this. I stood in the darkness
and watched Malachite get out of his car and walk up to a house well more
like a mansion than a house. He knocked on the door and then turned
around to look in my direction as if to see if anybody was watching. A
women opened the door for him and smiled warmly encouraging to go inside.
She had light brown hair and wore a knee length dress. I couldn't tell
the colour of her dress but it was something similar to dark green or
dark blue. Malachite looked around once more before he entered
the house. She shut the door immediately after Malachite was inside.
I leaned against a brick wall which was located across the road form
the house my husband just stepped into. Oh my god minako this was obvious
he was of course having an affair behind my back. For the past week he
had been leaving me and the safety of the crystal palace to go to that
women and her mansion. I couldn't believe it. We were married..we had
sworn to love each other for ever. They called it 'Eternal Love.'
He couldn't do this to me. What was she? At most a noblewoman. I was
the Queen of this whole planet what else did he want. Many men would
give an arm and a leg to sleep or be kissed by me. Yet he was just
ignoring my love and giving all his love to that that stuck up house
wrecker over there. I sled to the ground and uninvited tears poured down
my face. I covered my eyes with my hands. No I loved him and he
was supposed to love me forever. How can this be..it was my destiny!
I lay on my bed as tears poured down my face. It was now morning. The
birds were chirping and everybody was happy in the palace well that was
except for one person me. What I had witnessed last night had left me
depressed and heartbroken. I had only just managed to get back to the
palace in on piece. I hadn't seen Malachite last night and I didn't
intend to. He could go and jump off a bridge for all I care. I sniffed
and then blew my nose again. I was right last night I had caught a cold
and what had i discovered last night was that my husband was having an
affair with a rich, light brown coloured hair women who didn't seem to
care that Malachite was her King and that he was married. I heard a light
tap on the door. "What is it?" I yelled as I pushed my face back in the
pillow to muffled my cries.
"Minako-sama," a voice said. I noted that it was Jennie's. "Come in Jennie."
I quickly pushed my tissues underneath my bed covers and put on my brightest face.
Jennie entered the room and stared at me for a long time before she spoke,
"Are you feeling sick? Because I heard you sneezing and rushing to the
toilet. Have you got a cold?" "I think so but I'll be fine just leave me
and I'll be right," I answered hoping she would accept my explanation.
She moved towards me and sat down beside me. In some ways Jennie was
like a fellow senshi to me. We both protected someone or something and
acted the same way about making descions. "You've been crying," she observed.
I shrugged my shoulders absentmindly. "You look awful. Please let me go and
get a doctor." I frowned and faced in the direction opposite to her. "Please leave," I
ordered. She sat there still looking straight at me. "Did you not hear me?
I told you to please leave the room. it was an order not a
suggestion." She nodded and walked out of the room closing
the door behind her. I laid back on the pillow and continued crying.
I sat over the toilet bowl throwing up again. It had been a hour or
so since Jennie left me. She must of told Malachite..wasn't he here. But
would I really want him here anyway. I flushed the toliet and washed
my hands with soap. Pulled back my hair quickly and walked out of the
bathroom. I had my head bent towards the ground when I suddenly
heard voices in my bedroom. I looked up to find all my friends and
fellow senshi sitting around the room. Serenity, Ami, Hakura and
Michuru sat on the bed. Setsuna and Hotura sat on the couch. Lita and
Rei sat on the floor and finally to finish it off Endymion leaned
against the doorframe. I heard voices outside. I could tell
easily that they were the Inner and Outer Senshi's husbands, The
Earth Generals and the Moon Guard.
"Minako," Serenity said as she got off the bed. I ran up to her
and cried on her shoulder. She wrapped her arms around me and tried
to calm me down. She touched my forehead where my Venusian symbol sat.
"You hot..you've got a fever," Serenity told me and nodded towards
the Queen of the Knowledge and Ice Planet. I looked towards my fellow
companions. They all had smiles on my faces showing that they wanted
to try to cheer me up. "Who told you to come here?" I asked as if i
didn't know. "Jennie," Raye answered. I smiled. Outside I could hear
something going on but I didn't know what. I sat on my bed quietly
beside Serenity. I held my stomach again trying not to let on to the
others that I was feeling sick. Serenity and Ami looked towards me as
did some of other senshi. I door slammed open and Endymion suddenly became
alert. Malachite entered the room and searched for me.
He then saw me sitting on the bed and looking like hell as I
had been told earlier today by several people. He rushed towards me and
touched my shoulder. I pulled away from him. He never ever deserved to
touch me after what I saw last night. "Minako. You look awful what happened?"
He asked me. "Nothing you don't seem to care anyway." Several of the
girls gasped at my comment. "Minako," he whispered. "Leave me alone get out,"
I yelled standing up in front of him and pointing to the door. My legs then
gave out below me and the I feel to the floor but lucky Malachite managed
to grab me just in time. Ami rushed forward and started giving
out orders to everyone. Serenity rushed most of the senshi out except
her and Ami. Malachite also was rushed out of the room to.
I pushed my head further back into my fluffy pillows. I felt sick again
and this cold wasn't help or was being sick not helping the cold. I must
be losing my mind now. I knew this time would come. Ami had checked me out
and done all the usual things, check my pulse, see how my breathing is and
all that sort of stuff. Serenity sat beside me as Ami gave the verdict.
Ami stood to the left side of me and had a smile a mile wide on her face.
I looked at her strangely and she begin to talk. "Minako all I can say is
you've got a pretty severe cold and apart from that there's nothing wrong
with you. Also I mustn't forget to tell you this..well like i would forget
but Minako I'm proud to tell you that your pregnant." Serenity giggled.
No, I don't need this I'm supposed to be happy but now how can I raise a child
when his or her father is having an affair. They is the
worst day ever. Serenity and Ami looked at my face and frowned. "I have
something to tell you but you mustn't say anything..promise." I girls nodded
and sat on either side of me. "I followed Malachite last night to a mansion
where a lady opened a door to let him in. I think he's having
an affair." The girls looked towards me with sad faces. "Tell us all
about it," Serenity told her.
I had instructed Ami not to tell Malachite about the baby. I figured
that he would find out in due time. Ami had agreed only if I stay in bed
for the next few days which meant that I would have to stay in bed on my
birthday. Well what a birthday it will be anyway. I had told everybody
about the baby and Malachite and everytime he walks past them he gets
given a glare or a mutter of rude words. I smiled as my friends sat around
me rejoicing in my new found pregnancy. "What shall you name her?" Lita
asked. "Who says it going to be a girl," Endymion stated. "I just know Endy,"
Lita winked. I giggled. "As I matter of fact I think the baby is going to
be a girl and i will have to think about the name. What do you guys think
of Minako." They all laughed. 'What about if it's a boy?" Nephrite asked me.
I thought hard but one name just kept appearing in my head. "Malachite," I whispered. ]
I subbed quietly on Rei's shoulder. "Don't worry just wait that fool wouldn't
know what happened to him when we get through with him," she stated. "No please
leave him alone." "You still love him don't you?" Hotura said. "Yes, I'm tired
please go" I said to the other as I sobbed a little bit more.
2 days later
Malachite and I hardly spoke to one and another. He looked in on me
too see if I was alright but that was about it. Until the day of my
birthday when he approached me. "Minako, Love." I spun around and looked
him straight in the eye. "What do you want?" I asked. His voice got warm
and kind. "Please I have something to show you please come." He took my
hand and lead me up to the hill. It was thought that I had conceived
my baby up here but we would never know. "Why in hell are we up here?"
He ignored me and kept pulling me up the mountain. Up ahead I could
see that women that lived in that big posh mansion. "Her! Why am I here?"
"I'd like you to meet my friend Mary-Lee." He told me. "Or is
that what you call hoars these days." I spat at her. "Your highness
I'm glad to finally meet you I have heard alot about you from the
newspaper and you husband." I looked away. "Is it ready?" Malachite asked
her. She nodded and excused herself and walked down to the bottom of the
hills. We on the other hand continued up the hill.
As I got further up the hill i could smell Venusian daisies. We finally
reached the top of the hill. I looked around and saw daisy's scattered
around the grass and plenty of signs saying 'Happy Birthday Minako' There
was also a picnic blanket laid out on the ground with food spead across it.
"But how?" I asked. "Mary-Lee helped me do this. I suppose I was away most
of the nights preparing for this I wanted to make this birthday really
special. Tears dripped from my eyes. Malachite looked towards me. Concern
written all over his face. "I thought you were having an affair with
Mary-Lee." He looked at me and smiled, "So that why you've been ignoring
me for these last few days." I nodded. He kissed me quickly on the lips
and then dragged me to the picnic blanket and sat me down.
I looked at some of the food and nearly threw up. I used to love this sort
of food. But I don't know since i became pregnant. Oh my god he doesn't know.
I must tell him. "Malachite." He looked towards me. "Eat up please," he
said as he grabbed a small cake. "No I don't feel hungry. I have to
tell you something." I smiled. He nodded. "I must as well just come
right out with it, I'm pregnant!" Malachite sat there his face expressions
were about in between shocked and embarrassed. "That's wonderful. When
did you find out?" "Today." He reached over and kissed me on the lips.
"I have one more surprise for you. Look up there," Malachite said pointing
to the sky. I looked towards the sky and in pink writing the words:
Minako, I'll love you forever and always.
was written.
