~*~*~*~*~*~





Minako slowly opened her eyes as she looked around at
her surroundings. She looked over and saw Quatre,
holding his hand, staring at it in shock, then she
looked over a bit further and saw Hiiro with his gun
pointed right at Quatre's hand, a light trail of smoke
rising from it's tip. 'What's going on?' she
wondered. She struggled to speak, but the pain was
too much for her to bear. Her vision turned to
darkness as her eyes rolled closed and she lost
consciousness.

Quatre turned to Hiiro. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT!" he screamed.
Hiiro looked at him with anger in his eyes. "I could say the same to you."
A glint of silver caused Quatre to look to his right. He could barely make out his gun in
the distance. Trying with every ounce of strength he had left, Quatre limped onto one foot,
standing. His other leg was bent in an unnatural direction.
Slowly and painfully, he limped towards the shining beauty.
Hiiro noticed him and walked over to the gun. He picked it up and threw it out of sight.
Failure washed in with Quatre's other painful emotions and he let himself fall once again.
"Damnit," he cursed, "why can't you just let me end it?"
Hiiro watched him in confusion. "Why would you want to?"
"Why do you think? I deserve it! Look what I did to Minako. And those OZ agents... I'm
a murderer! I can't even fight. I'm not worthy of Sandrock. And I wasn't worthy of Minako...
I'm weak..."
"You're not weak..."
"Yes I am... If I had half of the strength you have I'd be twice as strong as I am now...
That's what makes you such a great person... you're strength. Every one is likable for a reason...
Duo has his humor and friendliness.... Wufei his honor... Trowa- his bravery... but I have
nothing! Only weakness! I killed Minako! It wasn't supposed to hit her... Hiiro... please... one
favor...please kill me..."

Peridot smiled. "That's a good idea." he said, "It'll
make my job easier, and now, I don't have to feel bad
about it either, because we all know that you deserve
it."

He watched Quatre's eyes widen, so he went on with his
torture. "It's all your fault, Quatre, and you know
it. If it weren't for you, she'd still be here, alive
and well. You cut her life short." he paused and let
out a small snicker. "I thought that your job was to
protect the innocent, not murder them." he said,
cruelly as Quatre hung his head.

Quatre stared down at the pavement, wondering how many times he'd need to hit his head
on it before dying. Anger, sadness and confusion covered every thought. Pain soared through
his emotions. His true personality fell between them and was locked away.
Quatre stood up and stared at Peridote with an evil smirk. "Perhaps I deserve to die, but I
don't intend to go alone. Heh heh heh.... BWA HAHAHAH HAHAH HAHA!" just f.y.i. for the
newer GW fans- Quatre has gone crazy due to emotional trauma He laughed insanely as he
jumped at Peridot and began attacking.

~Minako's Dream~

Minako found herself floating in some kind of void. "Where am I?" she
wondered aloud. "Am I dead?"

"No, Princess," a soft voice replied, "You're not dead. You're asleep.
But you have to wake up. Quatre needs you."

Minako gasped. "What's wrong? Is he okay?"

"He won't be if you don't help him soon...." the voice said as a scene
appeared around Minako. The source of the voice appeared, it was Queen
Selenity(y'know, Princess Selenity's mom).

"Oh! Queen Selenity!" Minako shouted as she knelt down to the ground.

The Queen placed a hand on Minako's shoulder. "Don't take the time for
that now," she said, "Go and help Quatre."

"But how?" Minako wondered, "I don't know where I am much less how to get
back."

Queen Selenity smiled. "I'll take care of that. Just close your eyes,
and wait."

Minako smiled back. "Thank you." she said, closing her eyes as she was
instructed to.

~End Dream~

Peridot fought Quatre, and was obviously going to win. He was much
stronger than Quatre at the time. "It's time to end this little game
now!" he shouted as he prepared to strike Quatre with a blast.

He looked down at Quatre's pathetic form, when something blinded him.
There was a intense light coming from Minako's direction. He shielded his
eyes until the light subsided. Once it did, he saw Minako's eyes open.

"Kuso.." he swore under his breath as Minako stood up and stared right at
him.

She didn't say a word, just ran right over to the dumbfounded Quatre.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him, sending the light
from her body to his, healing him of all his wounds.

Quatre stared at Minako for a moment. "You're...alive?....." He turned away. 'I almost
killed her... I'm not worthy of her love...' "I'm sorry Minako." he stated trying to keep his voice
from shaking. "But I need to leave now. I'm sorry. I'm not worthy of you... Gomen nasai....
Aishiteru....."
He took off running. Tears streaked down his face and pain soared through his chest. He
could feel her confusion... and her hurt. And he couldn't bear it.
Quatre doubled over in pain. He screamed as the pain in his chest threatened to spread.
'I'm sorry Minako...' his mind cried.

"QUATRE!" Minako shouted as she took off after her
love. She ran up to him and knelt beside him. Taking
his hand into hers, she placed it on her cheek,
letting her tears slide down his fingers. "Quatre,"
she cried softly, "Don't you even think for a minute
that you don't deserve my love. It is I who doesn't
deserve you, so let's just put everything behind us.
Let's forget all about what happened. Let's just live
on. Onegai, Quatre. Don't ever leave
me.....Aishiteru..."

"I'm sorry." Quatre whispered. "I'm so sorry.... I'm sorry. I'm sorry I hurt you... gomen
nasai..." he held his chest as he continued to feel her pain. "please forgive me."

"Oh, Quatre!" she cried as she rested her head against
his chest. "Of course I forgive you!"

"Aww, how sweet." Peridot said, "Now can we get back
to what we were doing? I really don't have time to
stand by and watch."

Minako stood up and faced Peridot. "KAMI!!! Will you
just leave us alone?!?!" she shouted as she threw her
chain out in his direction.

Quatre watched Minako fight. Her eyes shone with pure hatred but she still looked
beautiful. 'I can't help her fight,' Quatre thought, 'every time I try to help her, she ends up hurt...'
He stared up at the sky. 'Please give me strength, mother.'

Peridot sent another blast at Minako as she dodged it
expertly. Nothing could get in her way now. She
wanted revenge, and that was exactly what she was
going to get.

Peridot finally hit her with his black energy, and she
fell to the ground.

"Pathetic.." Peridot laughed.

Minako looked straight at him, struggling to keep her
blurry vision in focus. She was running out of
strength, and fast. With one last, final attempt she
placed her finger on the center of her tiara. As she
did, it started to glow, sending white light all
around her.
"I will not forget what you've done to me and my
friends!" she shouted, hate clinging to every word,
"You are evil, and good ALWAYS wins over evil! This
is your time, Peridot!"

For the first time, Peridot was actually nervous. In
all of his years, he had never encountered someone so
powerful, so determined. "Just go ahead and try!" he
challenged, trying to look confident.

Minako placed her hands in front of her as a light
built between them, then, with all of her might, she
sent the energy forth, hoping to finally rid the world
of Peridot, but to her dismay, the light vanished only
two feet before reaching him.

Peridot laughed as a wave of relief rushed over him.
"HA!" he shouted, "You're too weak! No one can stop
me!"

Minako hung her head low. 'I can't do this.' she
thought to herself, 'I need help.' Just as she
finished her thought, she felt two strong arms wrap
themselves around her. She looked back at the
innocent blue eyes. "You promised.." she whispered, a
crystalline tear falling down her cheek.

Quatre smiled at Minako's words and shyly kissed her cheek. "Some promises are meant to be
broken." he whispered.

Minako smiled back. "Thank you." she whispered. She
turned back to face Peridot. A new confidence filled
her as she felt Quatre's love for her giving her
strength.

"You won't win this time!" she shouted.

Peridot took a small step back. "We shall see!" he
replied, sending his strongest blast toward the
couple.

Minako closed her eyes and concentrated, calling on
her purest and strongest power. The light built up
between her hands once more, even brighter than the
last time. She glanced back at Quatre just one more
time before shouting her command. 'Please let this
work...' she prayed.

"VENUS POWER!!!!"(f.y.i. This is different than her
transformation) she shouted, sending the white beam
out. Both the powers of good and evil collided and
fought to push the other out of the way.

They wrestled for a moment until finally, the black
energy weakened, vanishing before their eyes, giving
the white light a clear path straight to Peridot. He
screamed as the white light hit him, sending waves of
pain throughout his entire body. "I WILL NOT BE
DEFEATED!!" were his last words before he completely
disintegrated.

The light returned to Minako and she collapsed into
Quatre's arms, her energy gone. "We..we did it.." she
smiled weakly.


Quatre held her closely. "You did great." he whispered. Gently he kissed her forehead.

Minako closed her eyes and sighed. "Can we go home
now?" she asked weakly as her sailor fuku lit up and
changed back into her normal clothes.

Quatre's heart lit up when she said home. 'Maybe she's getting used to it here.' he
thought. "Of course we can." Slowly he took her into his arms and carried her. "You shouldn't
walk after that."

Minako rested her head against Quatre's chest. "Thank
you, Quatre..." she said quietly, "Aishiteru..." she
finished before finally falling asleep.

Quatre carried Minako back towards where the other pilots were.
Hiiro glared at him. "We have a mission."
Quatre nodded and set Minako down on a bench. "When do we need to leave?"
"Now."
Quatre gently kissed Minako's cheek. "I'll catch up with you." he said to Hiiro.
Hiiro scowled at him. "This is important."
"I need to drop Minako off. I can't take her."
"She'll be fine here."
"You don't know that. Would you leave Relena here if you were in my shoes?"
Hiiro mumbled something about, "that being different" and began to walk away.
"Contact us when you've reached your gundam."
"Okay." Quatre replied with a sweet smile.

later

Quatre watched Minako sleep. He had set up a guest room for her in his house. "I'm
sorry, Minako. But I won't see you hurt because of me again. Aishiteru." He turned to leave.
