Title: The Venusian's Bodyguards
Author: Aino Yuy aka Usagi-Hater
Shout Outs:
-Michelle Ann Myst Lady: I guess I'll take that as a complement when you said I reminded you of Venus Of Love. She and I favor Sailor Venus out of the rest of the senshi. But I think she is a bit more obsessed with her than I am…I think... Anyways, about the love triangle with Duo/Minako/Heero thing… I like that idea a lot but who knows, maybe Minako is paired up with Duo and not Heero… Anyways, thanks. Also, Van would most likely be my favorite in Escaflowne, but Folken's cool too.
-Aka V-Chan: Wonderful! I found another smart person in the world! Finally, someone feels the same way about me with that sickening paring. Thanks for the review and putting me on your favorite list. C ya around V-chan (^_~)
-Aphrodite: Thanks for the review and hope you enjoy the rest of the fic. Well, like you said happy writing, I say happy reading.
-Mlljo: No comments. Just read my bio.
-Heerosgurl: Yup, Usagi *about to chock just saying the name* is not the future ruler of the universe. In fact, she doesn't exist in this fic. Thank god.
-Midnight Lilly: I'm glade you think Usagi bashing is cool. Sorry but there will be no Usagi bashing in this fic cause she doesn't exist! Neat huh? Horray! *Cheers that the bitch is not alive*
-gothwidow: Thanks for the review (^_~). Glade you liked it.
-WindRider-Damia: Glade you enjoyed chapter two as well. Hmm… I personally think Makoto should get pregnant. Rei and Uranus would be perfect in going after the pilot who made Makoto get a child.
-Jade Stellar: lolz, you rock on! Minako is 100% the best of the senshi in my opinion. Then Ami. So you like Minako/Trowa fics huh? Who knows, it might just be the paring in this one.
-Serenity-Olus: What's up girl? Glade you liked the part when Heero picked Minako up. Keep praying and maybe this will be a Minako/Heero fic.
-Anime-babe: I most certainly agree with you on mlljo. Thanks for the review. And I don't mind you using my review fic to answer her back. Good job on it too.
-Venus Of Love: Another one of my favorite reviewers. Hmm… at this moment I really haven't chosen the positive paring yet. But I if I choose one, I won't tell. Leave you people in anticipation.
-V-babe: (-_-') I always seem to mess up on 'follow'. Damn it! I even messed up 'track team'. Sad huh? Well, thanks for the corrections. I'll appreciate it if you check my spelling errors again in this fic.
-Usagi Asia Maxwell: No fret, I don't hate people just because they have Usagi name in their penname. I don't even hate people if they write fics about her being the best. It's their fic, not mine. I hate the character Usagay in particular and feel many of the dick-head fans are dumb asses (experiences.) Anyways, thanks for the review.
-Eternal Blue: Serenity-Olus gave me wise advice to just not pay attention to people like you. But I do have some things to say. Number one: do you see me bashing Usagi in this fic? No, in fact, the dick-head isn't even in here. Maybe you should scan through the fic to see if she is before reviewing it first and adding that crap in.
Number Two: If I do write a fic that has Usagi-bashing in it, do you think I care what Usagi-fans say? No, if I did I wouldn't write one. Common sense child.
Number Three: Another thing, do you think I care how Usagi's personality is? No again. I don't care because it's a fuck'n sucky personality. And I don't fuck'n care if she's the main. I'll still hate her. There is nothing that anyone can say to change that.
And so, to finish it off, you did waist my time and your time. Sorry for telling you the truth. Have a good life now. Good bye and may you never return.
Well that's about it for my shutouts. On with the show! ('-_-) Damn, I'm starting to sound just as crappy as mlljo. p> .*.*.*.*.*. Chapter 3: Getting To Know You
Minako entered the van in the back, sitting in the middle with Quatre. Duo and Wufei sat besides the two blondes. Trowa chose to drive while Heero sat in the front with him.
As silence took control of the atmosphere Minako decided to start a conversation. "So… seeing that you all know my name, what's yours?" She asked all of them at once.
The blonde Arabian pilot first spoke. "My name is Quatre Raberba Winner."
"Duo Maxwell at your service," Duo said beside Minako, taking her hand and giving it a light kiss on the top.
A small blush broadened across Minako cheeks as Wufei, on the other window side, rolled his eyes. "Oh brother, give me a break," he grunted before turning to face the window. He rested his chin on his hand.
Duo heard the Chinese boy and grinned. "That's Wufei Chang." He introduced to Minako, knowing that Wufei wouldn't do it himself. "And the guy driving is Trowa Barton. He's pretty cool if you pass for the silent type." Duo commented, making Trowa look into the review mirror and glance at Duo and Minako for a brief moment.
"And the guy in the front seat is Heero Yuy. He's the guy who always carries a gun." Duo smirked when Heero did not turn to glare at him. The braided pilot leaned in closer to Minako and whispered, "I'd try to stay away from if I were you. He does at times get a little deadly."
Minako sunk in her seat a tad bit as she nodded at Duo's advice. Great, I'm with a bigoted man, a deadly guy, and a silent person. But there's Duo. He seems pretty cool. And Quatre too. He's so polite! Minako was in her own world when the van pulled up in Quatre's driveway.
"Miss. Aino?" Quatre asked, shaking her arm lightly to bring her back to reality.
When exiting her little dazed moment, Minako leaned over Duo to look out the open window. Duo naturally was enjoying every minute of it. Her body was barely touching his and he could smell her sweet perfume.
"Wow," Minako breathed, looking up at the huge mansion. "It's enormous!" She exclaimed.
Duo chuckled at her. "It's Quatre's mansion. Welcome to your soon-to-be home sweet home."
Heero looked into the side view mirror to observe Minako and Duo. He let out a low sigh knowing that it was going to be a long day...
Stepping out of the car, Minako almost fell backwards. She was trying to gaze up at the mansion but it was too gigantic. "Are you okay?" Quatre asked when Minako bumped into him when almost falling. He had wrapped his arms around her accidentally when she ran into his chest.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Minako whispered, looking up at his gorgeous face. The blonde Gundam pilot blushed lightly. Her face was too close to his.
"Hey! Stop gawking at each other and open the door!" Wufei barked impatiently at Quatre. He was already at the top of the steps with his arms folded and an irritated expression on his face. Each of the four pilots were watching the two.
A crimson color spread across Minako's cheeks as she quickly got back to her feet. "Sorry," Quatre apologized to the others while heading to the front door. He took out the keys from his pocket and opened it for the others.
Duo, who ran up the steps, was about to enter when Trowa grabbed his shoulder. "Didn't your mother ever tell you ladies first?" Quatre asked.
"Nope, never knew my mother," Duo joked while giving them his silly grin. Minako entered the mansion after saying a light, "Thank you," towards Trowa.
"My god it's even bigger inside!" Minako shrieked.
They were in the entrance hall. She saw two flights of stairs on each side of the room leading to the upper floors. A wide door was to her right that was the living room and a hallway to her left. A huge wooden door was up ahead closed.
Without a word Heero headed up the staircase and Wufei went down the hall, soon turning to his left. Minako watched them leave as Quatre sighed. He disliked how ill-mannered the two were.
"I'm going to the circus for awhile. Be back for dinner," Trowa informed softly to Quatre before walking back outside. Minako ran out the door after him when she heard the word 'circus.'
She squealed, "A circus! Take me with you!"
Trowa looked up at her from the bottom of the steps. He smiled slightly before saying, "I'm sorry. Maybe some other time."
A pout appeared on Minako face as the tall Gundam pilot turned and walked towards the van. Quatre walked out of the mansion to join Minako watching Trowa drive off.
"Come on Miss. Aino," he urged, taking Minako's arm and leading her inside.
Closing the door behind him, the blonde turned to see Duo leaning on the small table nearby, a vase of roses positioned on top. Quatre could tell the braided soldier was examining their guest. Minako, forgetting about the circus, was in her curiosity phase and glanced around, peeking into the living room.
"You know it's not polite to stare," Quatre whispered jokingly to Duo.
He snapped out of his gaze and grinned at Quatre. "Ah c'mon Qu-man, it isn't often when we have a babe in the mansion! Can't a guy have some fun?"
Quatre shook his head letting out a sigh. He never understood the god of death. Leave it to Duo to drool over a girl. Quatre glanced towards Minako who soon had her head peering inside the wooden door. Althought she is very pretty… not to mention she has an attractive body. Quatre mentally slapped himself for thinking such a thing. Damn! I'm hanging around Duo too much! It's getting the best of me!
"So, who wants to give me a tour?" Minako asked when turning to face the two. She gave them a sweet smile hoping that at least one of them would want to. She was also hoping maybe to get some information. She still didn't understand why she was here in the first place.
"I'll be glad to give you a tour Miss. Aino," Quatre said courteously, beating Duo to her first. He offered his arm to Minako as she took hold of it. "I'll show you the garden first."
"I'll come along too! Minako needs someone to protect her!" Duo exclaimed, practically leaping on Minako's other side. Quatre raised an eyebrow at Duo. What do you think I am?
Minako laughed while they led her outside. Now I can bring up the subject, Minako thought. "Hey, Duo, who exactly is after me?" Minako asked, knowing he would most likely tell her. She knew her charm was powerful on him.
"Ah, we're not sure about that yet but Heero should get the details some time soon," Duo answered.
"Oh," Minako sighed disappointedly. But she was distracted when hearing Quatre say, "Here's the garden." He extended his hand out towards the beautiful scene.
Minako was speechless. The garden was beautiful and vast. Not like her neighborhood where it was crowded and busy. "It's dazzling!" Minako commented, strolling to a rose bush and examined the scarlet flora.
"Yeah, the gardener sure does a good job doesn't he?" Duo said as he reached for a tree branch and swung on it childishly.
"Duo, go easy on that. It's branch could break with your weight," Quatre explained, a worried look on his face.
"Hey! I'm a lean fighting machine Qu-man! This branch is strong enough to hold me," Duo kidded. But when Quatre's insistence expression became visible, he obeyed. Landing with ease Duo picked a white flower from the tree and handed it to Minako.
"Thank you Duo," Minako blushed. She took the flower and smelled it's fresh scent. Tiny drops of water were on it's peddles, indicating that the gardener had just watered the planets not too long ago. "You're pretty good with acrobat. Did you take lessons or something?" Minako asked.
Duo shook his head. "Nah, Trowa's the one who works as a clown in a circus. He taught me some of his tricks," he explained.
"You should see him. He's really good," Quatre added.
Amazing, the quite one works at a circus, Minako contemplated. "I've only been to a circus once. My school was holding a class trip when I was younger," Minako said while taking a seat on a bench. "I remember it so well like it was yesterday." she sighed leaning on her hands. She had so much fun at the time.
Damn it, she's pretty. Duo thought. He crossed his arms and leaned on the tree he had swung on just minuets ago. Quatre was also examining the beauty before him. Though, he unlike Duo tried not to stare.
A low cough broke the silence. Wufei was standing nearby.
"Yo Wu-man," Duo waved. He gave the Chinese soldier a goofy grin.
Wufei's hand turned into a fist, glaring at Duo. I swear if he calls me Wu-man again I'll cut his braid off, Wufei thought heatedly.
"Is something the matter?" Quatre asked.
"We received word from Doctor J. He wants to talk to all of us. Including the weak onna," Wufei added, nodding towards Minako. The blonde future ruler of Venus frowned at him. He never ceased to stop calling her a weak woman.
"Come on Miss Aino, time to meet Doctor J." Quatre held out his hand for Minako to take.
She took it, deciding to ignore the Chinese teenager. "Who's Doctor J?".
"He's like the boss. The meeting's probably about you so questions will be answered I think," Duo explained while the four headed back into the mansion.
For some reason Minako felt a knot in her stomach. 'Why am I getting nervous for no reason?' Minako asked herself. A knot was in her stomach and her feelings grew stronger when the three boys led her up the stairs and into a dark room. .*.*.*.*.*. Author Notes: Short, Boring, and kinda dull. Sorry. The next chapter will probably be boring too (-__-). *Sighs* review/flame.
