This story is dedicated to my friend Mina. Apparently, she's discovered there aren't enough Yaten/Minako fanfics. So ME being the generous friend offered to write a story. And how do you exactly put words/sentences into italics here? Inform me and you'll be appreciated. Enjoy the first chapter! -pengirl

==========================Chapter 1: Innuendo of a Lamb========================

We see an 11 year old Minako playing in a nearby playground. Usagi, Makoto, Ami, and Rei are gathered around her as they tried to build a castle with sand. "No! That doesn't look like a tower!"

She screamed as tears dropped from her eyes. Minako rubbed her eyes constantly. The three boys laughed. Minako furious grabbed the boys arm and bit down. The boy screamed while the other two held their stomach laughing.
