Authors Note:

Itazura: Well, this is my first fic so I will keep this short seeing as I have very little to tell you about.

Off screen voice: Tell them about me!

Itazura: I really don't think the world is ready for you, hikari . . .

Off screen voice: No, the world isn't ready for you yami-san. *A girl, identical to Itazura stomps out. Her eyes are less defined, and she holds the same endearing innocent quality as any hikari* Itazura: Ugh . . . Well, this is my hikari, Jenadra. She helps me write by providing the comedy. Obviously she had no say what-so-ever in this chapter.

Jenadra: *Is running around cheerfully, paying no attention. *

Itazura: Forgive her. She's a scatterbrain. *Bows and drags her hikari off the stage* Come on, I'll get you some ice cream.

Jenadra: Yeay! I want Gumi-bears on it.

Itazura: Fine, whatever you want. Lets just go before the readers decide to kill us.

"Back off chump!" A voice interrupted through the din of talkers in the mall. The perpetrator of the yell was a beautiful girl with cheery lips and golden hair. Beautiful enough to make a grown man gasp and they had to rub their eyes to make sure the body was for real but that wasn't all that was unique about one Minako Aino. She was also the brilliant and mysterious champion of justice, Sailor Venus. One flash of those baby blue eyes and she could cast a spell big enough to level half a city if her power was unchecked. She was the kind of girl that would give you everything she had, but had a low youma-tolerance. A shower of concentrated light tore the life- stealing monster from its victim.

"You're such a pathetic thing. I'm gonna give you a second chance: Give back the energy and I won't kill you brutally." The young heroine of love and beauty said, stepping forward and brushing her hair over her shoulder. It had been two years since the last battle. All the other senshi had lost their memories, save her. She was all that was left to protect Earth.

"No way little girl! I need it to survive, and you can't have the energy I've obtained."

She clicked her tongue, shaking her head. "Poor choice . . . Emotional Landslide!" She called before a wave of pure gold light washes over the youma, disintegrating it. As time had passes she had obtained new attacks and her physical strength was at least triple what it was before.

"Go baby!" She turned, flashing angry eyes at the young man in the crowd cheering her. She turned, made a slight face of exasperation before leaping over the rooftops and out of sight.

An hour or so later she walked into her house and packed her bag. Even though their senshi life was forgotten the group still remained tightly knit. She was going to spend the weekend at Rei's, the young priestess who held the spirit of Mars dormant in her body. She ran down the street after packing up, Artemis right behind. She was wearing the typical outfit of any teenage schoolgirl, but she made it look very appealing and innocent all at once. She ran up the stairs to the Sendai Hill Shrine, nothing for her even though there were over one hundred steps. She reached the top, slightly panting and lurched to a stop in front of the old man who was Rei's grandfather.

"Ah! A visitor to the shrine, here to pray for love no doubt?" He asked cheerfully as she edged away.

"Um, no Grandpa . . . I'm here to stay with Rei." She explained while trying to avoid the slightly perverted old man.

"Oh! Well, since you are coming to stay you should be given something to purify your spirit." He held out a necklace with a non-descript blue orb on it. "Here, put it on and you shall have good luck." She blandly followed his directions, knowing it would be best just to agree and move on. She bowed with a small smile on her face.

"Thank you Grandpa. I am thankful for your guidance." She then stepped past him and ran off.

She found Rei, meditating at the entrance of an old well in the back of the main temple. Quietly she sat down beside the raven-haired miko, and began to pray silently at this sacred spot.

'Great goddess of love, mother of all desire, you who burns with a passion strong enough to rival even the flames of mars, you who grant incentive and inspiration to the people of Earth. Guardian of a force more fickle than chance, which brings greater joy than peace, and can survive even death I pray to thee to hear your daughter's prayer. Watch over my companions, grant them fulfillment and the wisdom to know love from lust. Bless the world with your grace and beauty so that life may blossom under your touch.' The same words she had thought everyday since she found out she was a senshi flowed through her mind and on a capricious whim she added a final thought. 'And let me finally find love.'

She was about to continue when Rei's scream broke her out of thought. She opened her eyes, only to find a fog had surrounded her, pulling her ever closer to the wells edge.

"Minako-chan, run!" Sadly, the warning was too late. The blond disappeared down the opening as a red beam of light shot out of Rei's chest and into her body. She had grabbed the first thing she possibly could get her hands on in order to stop. Sadly, it was only her bag of clothes and not anchored.

^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^o_o^

Brilliant blue eyes opened to greet the evening sky. Minako sat up, looking around and very perplexed. Since when was the temple in the middle of a forest? In obvious confusion the blond shifted to her feet and began to wander, her blue bag slung over her shoulder. It was getting dark and there was no way she was going to stay in this creepy forest alone. As the sun sank behind the horizon she finally reached a clearing. She piled up a few sticks of wood and, since she had no matches or lighters, was forced into using the old fashioned 'rub the sticks together' technique. Being the girl she is with a short temper when it comes to things like this and an even shorter attention span she finally just gave up and started yelling.

"Why won't you burn? You stupid sticks are good for absolutely nothing. I hate this, I hate this so much! Just catch on fire already!" Her voice had already risen to a shout, disrupting any animal within a mile and as she flung an accusing finger at the pile of sticks. She managed to look surprised as a small ball of fire leapt from her finger and igniting the wood. With a small shrug she turned and began to look for the most comfortable place to sleep, after all much more bizarre things had happened to her compared to lighting things of fire. She settles down at the base of what seemed to be a very large vine, far enough from the fire to keep from being burned but close enough to stay warm, and besides it was curved nicely to fit her back while she was sitting.

Itazura: Well that is it. My very first posted fanfiction! I hope you all like it, and I hope it's not too long. Please, any and all help is welcome so as with all authors, Read and Review please so I can know what to do to make you all happy! And please vote on whom you want Minako to be paired with. Hikari wants 'Fluffy' but she's slightly obsessive with him. I honestly want Inuyasha, but it is up to you, the readers to decide.

Jenadra: *Is busy playing with the Gumi-bears lodged in her mint chocolate chip ice cream* ^.^

Itazura: *Takes a bite out of her rasberry sherbert* Well, until next time. I think I will put a '5 reviews gets me working again' rule in here somewhere so go do your thing!
