Shout Outs:
-Aphrodite: Thanks. I'm glade you think I'm the best (^_^). But you and the other readers are by far the best. Thanks for reviewing.
-V-babe: lolz, the shrike and shrieked part was humorous. Anyways, thanks again for the spelling corrections. I use Microsoft Word and it picks up spelling errors, but for some reason, it doesn't pick the words that aren't the ones I want to use for the sentience.
-Michelle Ann Myst Lady: *Laughs* I'm sorry but I found your review at the end a bit funny. Minako and Quatre as siblings? I have encountered very few a while ago. Never did get the chance to review them though… anyways, you'll see more Duo and Minako scenes later on. I have some ideas in my mind.
-Eternal Blue: …what is there to say to you? Okay, I admit. I was being very bitchy. I did not realize that you were "giving your side of the coin." I took your first review harshly so I flamed you back.
-Siren Silver: Thanks for all the advice. I appreciated it.
-Serenity-Olus: I'm actually glad you think the last chap wasn't boring. Although, be prepared for the snoring. This chap might be boring for you.
-Jade Stellar: *laughs* I'll try to remember that with the Wufei and Minako paring thing. Though, you might be disappointed a bit with future chapters. I'm going to try to have Minako befriend all the pilots so there will be Minako/Wufei moments. But the one she will fall in love with is still a mystery.
-Spunky-Si a.k.a Sammie-Joe: I know the last chapter was a bit short. I admit. I rushed a bit there. But thanks for your helpful advice. I'll take your suggestion and fix the thinking. And yes this is actually my first fic. I'm glade and grateful that you think I'm talented.
-Annayla: Thanks for review. Sad to say this but you'll have to wait to find out who Minako will be paired up with. It might be Trowa… it might be not. You'll see.
-Celestial DreamBlaze: Ok, I will explain how Minako finds her power but you'll have to wait till that chapter comes up. And plus, I have to thank you for the advice. I really did need it. Hmm… about Minako getting on alone… I'm not sure. Maybe I should change the fic a bit and have the Inners, except dick-head of course, come along and help Minako. I'll have to think about that.
-Venus Of Love: Thanks VOL-chan, I always enjoying reading your reviews.
-Heerosgal: Very smart/good/interesting questions you had Heerosgal. In fact, you actually gave me an idea to add for this chapter. So I'll give you credit as well for this chap since your questions gave me an idea for what Dr. J would also say to Minako.
-anime-babe: Sorry, but no can do. I can't tell one person and not the others. You'll have to suffer as well.
-Tuxedo Gohan: Hey, thanks for your advice/review. I don't hate the authors who like Usagay. I just hate the character and the fic that has her as the leading role. And I double hate the fics where people make Minako and the other senshi betray dick-head. It's too screwy for my liking. Thanks for e-mailing me as well.
Important Information:
Some of the ideas hear belong to Heerosgal . She gave me this idea in her review. Thanks (^_~). .*.*.*.*.*. Chapter 4: Doctor J The room was dim; the only source of light was coming from the computer monitor. Minako saw Heero sitting on a chair with his arms folded. He had on a solemn expression. Trowa was nowhere in sight for he was still at the circus.
"What is this place?" Minako asked Quatre, who led her to a chair. She saw an old man's face on the screen. He had a pair of glasses and his beard was in an odd shape. A white cat was on his shoulder. It puzzled her to see a crescent moon on his forehead. "Who's that?" Minako added into her question.
"This place is the meeting room Miss. Aino. And that would be Doctor J," The blonde pilot answered, pointing to the man. Nodding lightly, Minako took a seat. She kept her eyes on the old scientist, who was staring back at her in the monitor.
Man he freaks me out, Minako thought to herself.
She could feel tension building inside of her as Doctor J studied her carefully. Damn, some one talk already! As if he read her mind, he began to speak.
"Miss Aino, I am deeply contented to meet you and see that you are doing fine. My name is Doctor J," He introduced himself. "I do hope my pilots have treated you well."
The doctor's line made Minako glance at Heero. Remembering what he had done to her when they first met flashed back. The perfect soldier was watching her cautiously, studying her expressions. Minako looked back at the laptop screen when hearing Doctor J continue.
"I am sure you are wondering why you are here in the first place."
Minako nodded, sitting up straight to listen to the old man's explanation.
"I shall start with this Minako, you are not as normal as you think you are. You are far more different than any teen in this room. Deep inside you holds the power of the universe. You are the future queen of the planet Venus-"
"Wait, what!?" Minako cried out, leaping out of her chair. "What are you talking about!?"
A small smile appeared on the scientist's wrinkly face. Doctor J turned to his white cat and whispered something in the feline's ear. Minako, along with Quatre, Wufei, and Duo watched him bewilderedly. What's he doing? she asked herself.
"I was expecting you to react this way," Doctor J merely said after turning to them. "You see, I had just made a bet with Artemis that you would think I was a mad man on the loose. But he said you would understand."
Minako raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"
Duo chuckled. "He believes that his cat can talk to him."
"And I very well can Duo," a small voice answered back.
Minako gasped, Quatre went wide eyed, Duo fell out of his chair, Wufei actually looked up at the screen and Heero finally turned away from Minako to gaze at the white cat.
"My name is Artemis Princess Minako. I am your royal advisor and your guardian until you are able to take care of yourself."
Artemis watched Minako's confused expression as she fell back down on her chair. He could tell she was thinking she was going crazy. "I can assure you all this is real. You are the princess of the planet Venus and the future ruler of the golden planet along with its powers."
Doctor J coughed, cleared his throat, and interrupted. "Minako, why don't we tell you about your past?"
"Good idea," Artemis nodded. "Millenniums ago the planets around the solar system and outer system used to hold a powerful kingdom. The king and queen on Venus both shared magic of light for happiness, love, and even, destruction. The planet Saturn's royal family grew ill and the power went to Venus. However, the kingdom began to fall. The people were against how the king and queen were using their powers and rebelled. They felt with such magic they had they could attack other much weaker planets such as Mercury, who only possessed the power of knowledge and defied the thoughts of war."
Artemis paused for a moment before continuing. He watched Minako paying close attention along with the Gundam pilots.
"The king and queen knew that their people were foolish although did not want to harm them. They were not like the royal family of Mars who craved for battle. They cared too much for their people to injure. So along with the rebellion, so came war on the golden planet. And this brought the king and queen to die. But before they did the rulers of Venus bestowed all their powers to a single yellow jewel. They sent it out to outer space heading for earth. There they planed to have the crystal form a baby, in which, made you."
Minako looked wide-eyes at him. "Wait, are you telling me I was created!?"
Doctor J nodded. "Well yes. Hasn't it ever crossed your mind what ever happened to your parents? Why you were alone ever since you came into this world? It was because you never really had parents like the children do on Earth."
"If you like, you could say the king and queen of planet Venus were your mother and father." Artemis suggested.
Quatre reflected thoughtfully to himself, rubbing his chin at the process. "If… if this is all true… where did the king and queen's power go?" He asked looking at the others.
"Ah, that's easy! They used it to make Minako, hoping that she would… um… she would be the next ruler of Venus!" Duo answered. A big grin broadened on his face when Artemis nodded. He leaned back on his chair, obvious that he was proud of himself for answering correctly.
"What for though? Clearly they wouldn't just use all their powers to make a weak onna," Wufei grunted. He was surprised when Minako disregarded his rude remark.
"Very good questions," Doctor J commented. "Indeed they did use all their powers to make Minako, but their powers did not just banish. In creating Minako, their powers went inside her."
"Me?" Minako squealed, pointing at herself.
"Yes. You hold the power of the king and queen of Venus. That is why the Negaverse are after you, Minako. It is you they seek power for destruction, the power that once belonged to Saturn."
Heero once again tore his eyes off Minako and turned to the monitor. "What's the Negaverse?"
Artemis answered for Doctor J. "There was another legend a long time ago about the Negaverse. Leaded by Queen Beryl, they hunt for the power in ruling the universe. Since the planet Venus is now a wasteland with no ruler, they plan to find the girl who holds the magic of the queen and king and destroy the other kingdoms of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto."
"And so, they need Minako…"
Quatre and Duo turned to Minako. She raised an eyebrow at them still taken aback by all this information about her pass. She never expected her life was that complicated.
"I have contacted the planet Mars and Jupiter. The Princess Rei and Makoto are holding off the Negaverse on Venus. I was sent to find you Minako and bring you back once you have controlled your powers. Although, I advice you to stay with the pilots until further notices." Artemis explained.
Duo almost leaped out of his chair. "What? Minako gets to stay with us? Alright!" he yelled, his grin going from ear to ear.
Minako could not help but laugh slightly at Duo. She was happy that at least someone made her feel wanted. However, she turned to Quatre and asked, "What about my stuff? I need my clothes, and my belongings."
"I'll send you and two of the boys to go back to your house and get them. But after that you must try to keep a low profile. This means I suggest you don't attend school until further orders."
The last statement made a large beam enlarge on Minako's face. It was almost as wide as Duo's. "What? For real? I don't have to go to school?! Fantastic!" she cheered.
"But remember your duty Aino. The king and queen created you for a purpose. It is your destiny to recreate the golden kingdom of Venus and to use your powers only for good." Doctor J reminded.
Nodding, Minako understood. "I'll try my best."
"You still have a long way into developing the power inside you. In time you will be able to control it but you must promise me that you will stay with a one of the boys at all cause. I am sure I can count on all of you to keep the future queen safe?"
Doctor J eyed every one of the pilots. He received a nod from Quatre, a grunt from Wufei and Heero. And an energetic, "You bet ya," from Duo.
"Good. Now be sure to inform Trowa Barton what we have discussed. Goodbye Miss. Aino and stay safe," With that, the old man's face and the white cat disappeared from the computer screen.
The room was dark until Wufei switched on the lights, making the room too bright for the teens' eyes. I guest I got used to the darkness, Minako thought, rubbing her eyes to adjust to the lights.
After turning off the laptop Heero turned to face Minako. "Let's go," He said getting up.
"Go where?" Minako asked. She felt uncomfortable with his Prussian blue eyes glaring at her. Why does look at me like I did something bad? She asked to herself.
"We're getting your stuff," Quatre answered. He could tell Minako was feeling uneasy with the perfect soldier's glares. The blonde knew Minako would get use to Heero's gazes in time. Just not at the moment.
Minako was led out of the room with Duo, Heero, Quatre and Wufei. "I'm not wasting my time on getting girl stuff. I'm staying right here," the Chinese pilot grunted, walking away from the group and entering his room to the left.
"I have to stay and wait for Trowa to come back. I'll need to inform him on the meeting," Quatre explained to the reaming people in the hall as he led them downstairs.
Realizing the only two people left, Minako jumped. Wait! Heero's going to take me! She quickly glanced at Heero, who was behind her. He watched her observantly.
Snapping her head back when making eye contact with him, Minako turned to Duo. He was walking besides her. "You're going to take me too right?" she asked hopefully.
"Of course! I want to see where you live anyways," Duo responded brightly.
Minako smiled. Duo always seemed to make her grin. Ten minutes later Minako found herself in the back seat in one of Quatre's vans. Heero took the wheel while Duo sat beside him; turned over to start a conversation with her.
"So, where do you live?" he asked.
"In an apartment. Just turn this way and make a right at the light," Minako added to Heero.
The van went the direction Minako pointed toward and made a right when reaching the green light. All through fifteen minutes, Minako spoke to Duo about how her social life was at school and stopped once in a while to give Heero instructions. She felt awkward talking to 'Mister Perfect' but she was the only one who knew where the apartment building was located.
Seeing the tall structure up ahead, Minako told Heero to make a left into the parking lot. Getting out of the van and leading her two bodyguards into the building, she headed up the elevator. They reached the tenth floor.
"This way," She motioned to the hallway up ahead.
Duo willingly fallowed as Heero, impassive as ever, kept steady pace behind her. Once reaching a certain white door Minako went to take out her keys. But when putting it into the lock she realized that her door was already unlocked. .*.*.*.*.*. Author Notes: I guess this is what you call cliffhanger right? I personally don't enjoy cliffhangers myself but I figured it be cool to leave you in suspense.
Anyways, review/flame, whatever. I just wanted to thank all the people who have been nice to me and given me a lot of support. You will be forever in my hearts.
Sorry for taking so long in updating. After all, I am a normal teen as well. I do have a social life and I do have high-school. You might have to get use to my delays sometimes because I might not have time to work on my fics.
