Notes: Hey everyone! Sorry that it took so long to get this out! Gomen nasai!!!
Dedication: Minakku and amy-chan. You guys rock! Yay! *dances* *HuGz* Hehehe.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Blah.
Flourite watched in fear as ribbons of white light flew around Minako's body. A moment later,
Minako was replaced by a girl in a blue and red sailor fuku, wearing red glasses that hid her
eyes.
Minako stood in shock for a moment, but memories flooded her head, and she started saying
things that sounded familiar. "I am the pretty suited soldier of justice, Codename: Sailor V!"
"Nande kuso?!" Flourite yelled. "I don't have time for this! I don't care what Danburite said! I'm
going to get rid of you! Right here and now!" She threw her hand out in Sailor V's direction,
sending another deadly beam straight at her.
Sailor V dodged the beam with no trouble at all. She then ran in front of Flourite, yelling,
"Sailor V kick!", aiming the kick right at her face.
Unfortunately, Flourite was too fast for her. She grabbed Sailor V by the ankle, twisting it
around and throwing her to the ground roughly. She then started towards the unconscious
Quatre.
"Leave him alone!!!" Sailor V shouted, trying to stand up. However she fell right back down due
to a twisted ankle. She cursed her weakness as she searched her mind for what she should do.
Finally, it came to her. Just in time, Sailor V opened her crescent shaped compact and held it in
Flourite's direction as a deadly golden beam shot straight out of it.
Flourite screamed in pain as the beam ran right into her, causing her to fall to the ground. She
knew that her time was short. In one final attempt to please Danburite, she shot another white
beam right at Quatre.
Sailor V felt the urge to jump. While the reasonable side of her said that it was impossible with
her ankle, every bone in her body told her to do it. All of a sudden, she shot straight in the air,
landing right between Quatre and Flourite's beam. She opened her compact once again, and her
golden beam collided with Flourite's.
For a few seconds, white and gold clashed against eachother, until finally, the gold overpowered
the white slamming right into Flourite. She died instantly.
Sailor V panted as she watched Flourite's dead body turn to dust. She then turned to Quatre,
checking his pulse. He was alright, just unconscious. She looked down at his face while she
sobbed because of what just happened. All these memories rushed her, but still gave her no clue
of her past. All she knew was how to transform and fight.
"Quatre! Minako!" she heard a man's voice yell. She immediately recognized the voice as
Trowa's. She decided to hide, she didn't want them to know about Sailor V just yet. With one
last glance at Quatre, she noticed him start to open his eyes. Luckily, she jumped away before he
could get a good look at her. She laid down next to a sakura tree, detransformed and pretended
to be unconscious. It just so happened that the exhaustion from the battle tired Minako so much
that she fell asleep.
Trowa searched frantically all around the field. He heard screaming and explosions and ran over
as fast as he could. He finally spotted Quatre, lying on the ground. Running over to his friend,
he knelt down next to him and watched just as Quatre's eyes opened completely. "What
happened, Quatre? Are you alright?"
Quatre realized that Minako was nowhere to be seen. He jumped straight up, yelling, "Where's
Minako?!?!"
Trowa shook his head. "I don't know, but are you alright?" Quatre nodded his head furiously.
"Let's go look for her then" Trowa said.
It only took a couple of minutes for them to finally find her. She was unconscious under a
sakura tree. Quatre checked her pulse and smiled when he felt a good strong one. "She's
alright." he sighed. He picked her up under the back and knees, and started to walk home.
Despite Trowa's many questions, he stayed silent. He couldn't get his mind off of the angel that
he saw before he woke up. Somehow he knew that she'd always watch over him.
~Crystal Tokyo~
Neo-Queen Serenity watched as Quatre carried the sleeping Minako back to his mansion. "What
will happen now, Setsuna-san?"
Setsuna shook her head. "I'm not sure. We may have to take her out of there. The whole
mission is shot. Danburite wasn't supposed to be there."
"So it was Danburite? He really is back?" Serenity asked with concern.
Setsuna nodded. "It appears that way."
"I thought that Minako killed him!" Serenity replied. "He survived?"
Setsuna nodded again. "I'm going to keep a close eye on Minako. We may have to take her back
if things get any worse."
Serenity sighed. "So she will have gone through all of that for nothing?"
"Not nothing, Your Highness. She has already learned a great deal, only it's not what she was
sent to learn." Setsuna replied.
~Minako's Room~
Minako didn't wake up until the next morning. She must have been even more worn out than she
thought! She looked over to the chair next to the bed and saw Quatre, sleeping peacefully. She
smiled and got out of bed.
She limped over to him, and kissed him lightly on the cheek. Once she did, his eyes slowly
opened. When he saw Minako, he jumped. "Minako!" he shouted as Minako lost her balance
and fell right onto his lap. This was a very akward moment for the both of them. They both
blushed, but made no move to change their positions. After a few seconds of silence, Quatre
looked at Minako. "Are you alright?" he asked.
Minako nodded. "I'm fine." she said, "I'm just glad that it's all over."
"Trowa said that there was someone else there. A girl in a sailor fuku. Do you know what he
could be talking about? I was unconscious." Quatre asked.
Minako shook her head, hoping that he wouldn't sense her nervousness. She didn't want him to
find out just yet that she was Sailor V. That would only cause more suspicion. She knew that
everyone was suspicious of her, especially Heero. "I didn't see anyone either. I was knocked out
just a few minutes after you were." she lied. "It's a good thing that that girl did come though."
Quatre nodded his head in agreement. He sighed, then looked back at Minako. "I'm just glad
that you're alright." he said, wrapping his arms around her. Minako smiled, when Quatre said
something that shocked her. "Shall we continue what we were doing before we were
interrupted?"
Minako couldn't believe that he was being so bold! She nodded, saying, "Of course." They
leaned closer together as their lips met in a passionate kiss. Again, they felt the electricity
flowing through their bodies as they held eachother close.
The kiss lasted a few seconds until the door was flung open, with a voice yelling. "QUATRE?!?!
ARE YOU IN HERE?!?!"
Quatre and Minako jumped and looked in the direction of the one who interrupted them. "Duo!
What's wrong?" Quatre shouted, annoyed.
Duo couldn't help but start laughing. "This is too cool! You can't deny anything now, Q-man!
Hahaha!" he fell down on the floor and continued to laugh.
Quatre sighed. "Excuse me a moment." he said to Minako, lifting her down to the ground. He
then walked right up to Duo, pulled him to his feet, and shoved him out of the room, slamming
the door.
A muffled "HEY!" could be heard from the other side.
"I'm sorry about that." he said regretfully.
Minako smiled. "That's alright." she said. "I'm sure that one day, we'll have a kiss without
interruption."
"Yeah." Quatre said with a sigh. "Well, how about some breakfast?"
~Danburite's Mansion~
Danburite sat staring at his glass ball in disgust. He was upset about losing Flourite. She was
one of his best soldiers. He decided to call on a new one.
"Alexandrite!" his voice echoed through the house.
A moment later, there was a flash of light that subsided, leaving in it's place a man. The man
was tall with short, black hair, and piercing black eyes. He wore a dark green and maroon
uniform, with a long black cape extending down the back. "Yes, master Danburite." Alexandrite
said in a cool, confident voice.
Danburite smiled. "Alexandrite," he started, "You are my strongest and most loyal servant. I
have a job for you."
"Name it, master." the man said respectfully.
"I want you to kill the young Winner boy." Danburite said, "I don't care how you do it. Just get it
done."
"You will not be disappointed." Alexandrite said. With that, he vanished in another bright flash
of light.
~Quatre's Mansion~
Quatre picked up the newspaper and began to read. Duo immediately grabbed it away. "Duo!"
Quatre shouted.
Minako giggled as Quatre chased Duo.
"Justa sec, Quatre! I've got to find the comics!" Duo shouted as he flipped through the pages.
After doing this for a moment, he paused and stared at the page on top. "Look at this!" he
exclaimed.
Quatre and Minako walked up next to Duo and read the section that he pointed to. "Parade to be
held in honor of celebrity, Alexander Rite(AN: okay, okay, so it's not very original, but
whatever!)." Quatre read aloud. He picked up the paper and began to read the rest of the article.
"Famous actor, Alexander Rite will be visiting our city, his childhood home, next Saturday for a
press conference and autograph signing. There will be a parade in his honor to celebrate the
return of this talented young man. The parade is open to the public, and there will be a ball held
at the Grand Ballroom Restaurant for invited guests only." Quatre finished.
"Hey, Quatre! Can we go to the parade? With a famous young guy like that around, there's sure
to be lots of cute girls!" Duo said with a wink.
Quatre sighed. "Well, I don't see why not."
Duo beamed. "Thanks, Quatre! I can't wait!"
"Okay, okay. Now, get off of me, I'm going to get the mail." Quatre said, prying Duo off of him
as the braided boy had given Quatre a huge hug. Once he was free, he made a mad dash out of
the room, sighing as he finally made it away from Duo.
"Duo, you're so funny!" Minako said, amused.
Duo grinned. "And you're beautiful, you know!" he said to the now pink-faced Minako. "Too
bad I didn't find you first."
A moment later, Quatre returned with a huge pile of mail. He plopped it down on the table and
began to sort through it. "Junk, junk, junk, bill, junk, junk," he said to himself as he made two
separate piles. "What's this?" he asked himself as he picked up yet another letter. In the top left
corner, instead of a return address, there was a stamp of the letters "A" and "R". Quatre opened
it and read aloud to the curious Minako and Duo.
"Dear Mr. Winner," he read, "You and your friends are cordially invited to attend a celebration
ball in honor of the return of Alexander Rite to be held at the Grand Ballroom Restaurant on
Saturday evening, starting at 5 P.M. Please dress formally. We hope to see you there!
Sincerely, A.R." he finished.
"Wow!" Duo shouted. "We're going to a ball! There'll be LOTS of hot chicks there!"
"You're impossible, Duo." Quatre said.
Duo smiled. "I know!"
~Later that Evening~
Minako's eyes widened in awe as she looked over the room below from the top of the stairs. The
ballroom was gorgeous! Tables covered in lavender and white table cloths bordered the room.
On each table rested a centerpiece made of Iris, caspia, waxflower and baby's breath, the sweet
smell of the waxflower adding to the beauty of the room.
Minako looked down at the dance floor. The dancers swirled together in a beautiful display of
colored swishes. Golds, yellows, reds, purples, pinks, greens and many other colors decorated
the floor. There was something so wonderful about this scene. So incredibly wonderful, that it
made her want to cry.
A hand placed on her arm woke her out of her dreaming. She looked over to Quatre, who smiled
and offered her his arm. "Shall we go?" he asked.
Minako smiled back and nodded, hooking her arm through his. As they descended the stairs,
Minako was able to view the far sides of the room. There, people stood and talked among
themselves. Men chuckled at eachothers' jokes as they drank their wine and puffed their cigars.
Women gossiped with eachother while comparing and complimenting dresses and jewelry.
The whole room was so beautiful, so peaceful. Nothing could spoil the sight. "SHUT UP,
MAXWELL!" Minako heard someone scream. Quatre sighed, and turned behind him to see and
angry Wufei glaring at Duo who had a ridiculous grin plastered across his face.
"Can you two behave yourselves for just one night?!" Quatre asked, exasperated. He turned back
to Minako. "I'm sorry about them" he said, regretfully.
Minako just smiled, "Oh, you don't have to apologize. I'm used to them by now." she giggled as
they finished their descent down the stairs. Behind them were Heero, Duo, Trowa and Wufei, all
wearing tuxedos.
"Aaawww, you guys all look so adorable!" Minako teased. Heero glared, Duo grinned, Trowa
stayed silent, and Wufei muttered something about stupid onnas which Minako paid no attention
to, she was used to it by now.
"I know!" Duo smiled. "Now, where are all those chicks?" he said, looking around the room.
"Baka.." Wufei muttered.
"Hey, Wu-man! That's not nice!" Duo said.
"Don't call me Wu-man!!!" Wufei shouted back.
"Shut up!" Heero yelled, pointing his gun at both Duo and Wufei. He was not having a very
good day, and the last thing he wanted was to be stuck here all night with these two fighting.
Minako walked up to Heero and placed a hand on his arm in attempt to get him to put his gun
away. "Now, now, Heero. Killing is not the answer." Heero just growled.
The moment was interrupted by another's girl's voice. "WHO'S THIS?!?!" the girl demanded.
Minako turned around to see a girl with long, sandy-blonde hair that was pulled back in two
braids. She wore a puffy pink dress and matching gloves.
"Good evening, Miss Relena." Quatre said, politely.
Relena crossed her arms. "You didn't answer my question." she said, "Who is this?" she asked
once more, pointing to Minako, who's hand was still on Heero's arm.
"I'm Minako." she introduced herself, taking her hand off of Heero's arm and offering it to
Relena.
"I'm Princess Relena of the Sanq Kingdom." Relena replied, rudely, making no attempt to take
Minako's hand.
Quatre knew why Relena was so upset, and decided to set things straight once and for all.
"Minako," he started, "Would you care to dance?"
Minako smiled. "I'd love to!" she walked over to Quatre and he took her hand, leading her to the
dance floor. Relena smiled when she saw this.
"So," she started, "Minako is Quatre's girlfriend?"
"Yeah, but they won't admit it!" Duo laughed.
"Oh, that's great! I'm so happy for them!" she lied. She then walked up to Heero, and latched
herself onto his arm. After a moment, she still hadn't gotten any kind of response, or even
acknowledgment from Heero. "So, Heero. Aren't you going to ask me to dance?"
"No." he replied dryly.
"Oh, come on, silly! It'll be fun!" she shouted as she dragged him to the floor where Minako and
Quatre were dancing.
Notes: How was it? Sorry it took so long to get this out! I've been really busy with
Labyrinth(READ IT!!!) and other things as well. Please review! I'm begging you!!!!!!!!!!! *gets
