A.N. Ok, I tried to make the last one really mysterious to get more reviews, but it doesn't seem to be working L. Anyways, I saw a picture of Usagi on this website, and I knew I wanted to use it in my fic. It's a little hard to describe but I'll try. The site isn't working right now, but I'll give the address to you when it is! Happy Reading!

Minako's Key

"Are you alright?!?" repeated the woman harshly.

Fujitaka replied, "My, chest. It hurts!"

After saying this he looked at the woman, and realized she was about Touya's age. Her ankle length hair was silver and done up in a strange form of pigtails. There were hearts at the top, and from them, flowed the rest of her hair (think of ChibiChibi). It suited her for her eyes were a beautiful blue. She wore a strange outfit too. She had a star on the middle of her chest, with wings flowing from it, so as to look like a bow. She has a navy-grey skirt, with a flap of multi-coloured material. She had a cape attached to her top, and silver shoes with little wings. In her hand was a staff, on which was a star with wings, and, perhaps strangest of all, on her forehead, there was a star.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" yelled the man with the blonde hair, "You ruined everything!"

The woman shifted her gaze to the man, slightly smirking.

"Oh, sorry. I guess that was kind of rude of me," she said sarcastically, "but you owe me big time…Jedite."

"How do you know me, and what could I possibly owe you." He responded coolly, though his eyes betrayed him. In them, there was a tiny glint of fear.

"Think really hard, it'll come to you." Jedite remained silent. "No? Then I'll have to refresh your memory. A hundred years ago, you led an attack on my home, am I right?"

Jedite seemed to ponder this a moment, then he went white. "No, no. You can't be! There is no possible way you could've survived…. No way!!"

"Oh, but I did" she cried, "I lived when everyone I love died. And at the hands of you and your queen, I might add. Now you come prancing in here, trying to take the one thing that will put an end to it all?!? How dare you!"

By this time, Fujitaka was extremely confused. What would they all want with me? he wondered.

"Silence!" he yelled, "Knurlier, finish her off, and get what we came for!" And with that he disappeared.

The monster charged at the woman, but she dodged easily. "Now to finish you off!" She yelled, "Cosmic Star Beam!!"

There was a flash of light. The monster was gone.

~Sakura's P.O.V.~

Sakura jumped up from her desk. "Kero-chan, do you feel that?" I asked.

"Feel what?"

"Dad is in trouble!" I said, as I grabbed her cards and cell-phone. I used the fly card trying to fly towards her father's aura, Cerberus following her closely. I dialled Syaoran's number and held the phone up to my ear.

"Hello?" she heard him ask.

"Syaoran, my father's in trouble! His aura is at the university campus!"

"I'll be right over!"

I got to the campus just in time to see Syaoran run towards her. We nodded at each other and ran towards his presence.

When we came to an opening in the trees, they saw Fujitaka laying on the ground, a woman standing in front of him. Then, in horror, we saw a monster charge at the woman. I started to use a card but there was no need; the woman dodged the monster easily. Then, I heard her say:

"How to finish you off!" She pointed her index finger at her forehead, then at the monster and yelled, "Cosmic Star Beam!"

There was a flash of bright light, so I had to cover my eyes. When I finally looked up, the monster was gone, and the woman was kneeling beside my father. I looked up at Syaoran who looked a bit surprised. When I looked back at my father and the woman, her hand was on my father's chest, and it was glowing. I saw the glowing recede, and my father go limp.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!?" I yelled and ran out of the bushes. Syaoran raced after me.

(Normal P.O.V.)

The woman walked over to Fujitaka. "Are you ok?" she asked.

Fujitaka wanted to ask what she was, but settled on: "Who are you?"

She woman chuckled. "It's true, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Sailor Cosmos."

"What happened to me? Am I going to die?" asked Fujitaka looking at his chest.

"Not if I can help it." She said determinedly. "And those creeps who attacked you, they would have killed you to get what they wanted."

"What do they want?" asked a frightened Fujitaka.

"If you give me a moment, I'll show you." Looking at Fujitaka's expression, she added, "No it will not kill you. I know a way to get it without killing people."

She kneeled next to him, placed her hand on his heart, closed her eyes and concentrated. A few seconds later, her had started to glow. "Do not move." She said as Fujitaka squirmed. (Can you blame him?) He immediately felt a tickling sensation in his chest. In a few moments, it was over, and Sailor Cosmos hand closed around something. She held it up so he could not see and said: "Minako…"

Then she turned to him, put her hands over his eyes and said, "Forget." Fujitaka immediately Fujitaka feel into a deep sleep. She smiled and was about to get up when she heard someone yell:

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!?"

Sailor Cosmos looked and saw Sakura running towards her, a pink staff in her hands. Syaoran followed her closely.

"I took back what was mine to begin with." Stated the Sailor Soldier.

"And what might that be?" asked Syaoran angrily.

"That," Cosmos replied, "is none of your concern."

"Is he dead?" Sakura whimpered.

"Just sleeping. He'll be a bit exhausted in the morning, and he won't remember tonight. You might want to make him stay home for a few days."

"Don't boss her around!" yelled Syaoran as he studied her closely. Her aura was silver, as was her hair, even thought she looked to be a teenager. He pulled out his sword. "Duel me know!" he commanded.

"Maybe some other time." Replied Sailor Cosmos as she jumped onto a nearby wall. And before she jumped away, they could just hear her say:

"Thank you Kinomoto Fujitaka."

Usagi walked into her apartment, shut the door behind her and leaned on it, looking and the item in her palm. It was a key… with the Venus symbol on it.

Oh Minako, I will get you, the others, and my kingdom back, if it's the last thing I do. she thought, as she sat down on the floor, thinking about that fateful day.

A.N. Ohhh, cliffhanger! I know, I'm mean, but you'll just have to wait till the next chapter comes out. In case you haven't noticed, I've been working my buns off over here. I get home from school, do my homework, then spend most of the nigh typing. My fingers are starting to hurt! Anyways, the next chapter will be out soon, so not to worry.
