Minako looked towards the voice, her mouth slightly slack. On the second tier of the concert hall a figure clad in white stood looking down at her, one of his legs on the railing. Before she could say anything, a rumbling came from the stage as it began to collapse. The man in white jumped from the balcony and grasping Minako around the waist, proceed to run from the building as it completely fell in behind them.

"Ace…" Minako whispered, tightly grasped to the man in white. "How-"

"Does it matter?" the man said cutting her off, and releasing her a little. "You have no idea how much I have missed you…"

"We have to go." Minako said pulling away as Ace attempted to lay a kiss on her lips. "I need to get Kunzite and Wakagi, and figure out how both you and Petite Pandora got back here."

"I could tell you, if you wish Minako, but I'd require a kiss as payment." Ace cooed, gently playing with her hair and kissing it.

"That is out of the question…" the blonde muttered, still amazed that her first love in this lifetime was alive and before her, ready to set things back to how they were ten years ago. Sighing to herself, she forced her mind to center in on Kunzite and how she was going to get him out of the fallen concert hall- if it was even worth living now that he was gone… at the least he didn't deserve to stay in that ruble.

"I came back only to be with you, Minako." Ace whispered in her ear as the girl turned back to the building, starting to tear up with the rememberance of Kunzite and Wakagi's dead bodies… if they weren't dead before, they certainly would be now under all that rubble. Taking a long breath, the blonde turned slightly to the ghost of her past.

"That's a lie Adonis." She stated a clearly as her voice would let her. "If you only came back for me, then you would have never left me in the first place and allowed me to fall in love with Kunzite again."

"You're not wearing my ring…" Ace sighed, acting as boyish as he as all those years ago.

"I'm not accostumed to wearing much jewelry anymore." Minako stated, hearing the sorrow in his voice. She took the yellow and orange cell phone out of her pocket, showing the charm to the man, a simple gold band with the sign of Venus. "Who could forget you? I am the only person left on this planet who remembers you as more than a passing heart throb."

"So you do care…" Ace purred, grinning slowly and kissing Minako on the cheek before she could move away again. Pulling her by the hand, Ace started leading her off, away from the rubble and towards the brighter lighted part of the city, full of night clubs and bars.

"But Kunzite-" Minako protested, looking back.

"The Sailor V I knew would never have let the Darkness roam free, even if that meant her sacrifice." Ace said, pulling her along .

Minako's thoughts went back to the cleric who drove her to the station. Just remember that you are the only one who is truly in danger. Your mental state can not be risked for either side. Slowly things fell into place, why Ace had killed Petite Pandora, why HE of all people was there… The ghost of a lover from days gone by still clung to her hand, walking surely and steadily, with that same confidence he always had. He was the same- he was still the enemy. Minako racked her brain for possibilities, and memories of old. Her blue, white, and red uniform making things more clear for her.

Petite Pandora was a master of illusions, using her arts to capture ever male who listened to her, and make them fall in love. There was no doubt that Wakagi and Kunzite could have been all in the villan's imagination. As Minako's mental safety had to be intact for some unknown plot, it was not far fetched to say that Ace had killed his companion of evil to protect the real target, punishing the smaller comrade for her attempt at revenge. As being Minako's last lover, Ace was the perfect person for her to trust until the end of the world, his boyish charms and unsurpassed charisma adding the cherry to the sundae.

'If I'm the target, Kunzite will be fine… whoever it is can't risk me going crazy over him… But why me? What is so important about my feelings? Never mind… just have to follow Adonis and hope that I am right.' Minako shook her head slightly, thinking that she should have seen it coming with Setsuna's warning and all of the recent attacks either launched at her, or claiming alliance to the Dark Agency. One thing left Minako unsettled- who brought back the Agency? None of them had enough power, and their last leaders had been vanquished- and Ace? Was he leading? Had he never died that day? Wouldn't he have-

"We're here." Ace said, smiling at Minako as he led her in a building and into an elevator, the only button illuminated was 13. The two waited quietly in the elevator, feeling themselves slowly rise before the doors opened. Letting go of her hand and wrapping his arm around her waist, Ace slowly led her forward into a posh hallway, lined with mirrors and a door at the end, proclaiming "Dark Agency Studios" above the door.

"What are we doing here exactly, Adonis?" Minako whispered, feeling less and less confidant with every step.

"You are going to become mine, Minako." Ace leaned down and kissed her, running his free hand through her hair. Minako stayed inmoble, trying to clear her mind it to a source of action. A clanging was heard, starting the blonde, pulling herself away. Ace looked lazily at the mirrors to his right.

"Tell me you still love me, Minako… and that you'll stay with me, come what may of the boss' decisions?"

"Adonis, what do you mean?"

"I've waited so long to hold you again…" Ace whispered, tracing his fingers down Minako's cheek.

"Of course I've never forgotten you Adonis, I still love you, but-" Minako was cut short by Ace's lips on hers. As if under enchantment, she wrapped her arms around him and deepened the kiss, her mind screaming to retract. The tapping of glass was heard again, several times, Minako trying to master her own body and separate from the ghost of her past.

"Now, you shall be mine, and you will be forever… I shall never let you leave my side…" Adonis whispered. "We'll be happy forever Minako, you shall have the love you've been so long without."

The glass on one side of the hall shattered with incredible force, a black figure sweeping in and pulling Minako back to the other side of the hall. The woman sobbed, staring at where she was just standing, a man in white looked shocked, and in horror, stared at the crystal sword imbedded in his chest, wisps of smoke escaping from him instead of blood.

"I loved you…" Ace whispered as he disappeared in smoke and fluttering cards, the sword clanging to the floor.

"Mi… Minako…" The black figure murmered in shock. Minako turned her head up to see Kunzite behind her, in his full demon form and black suit. "You…"

"I knew you were alive…" Minako sighed in relief, removing herself from her lover's grasp and pacing back to pick up her sword and place the Ace of spades in her pocket beside her phone. Still letting tears slip down her cheeks, she stood straighter, and without much forethought, sent a blast at the studio door and went charging though. Kunzite speed after her, almost running into her when she stopped abruptly in the middle of the office, staring at a figure who was no more than a shadow, running off deeper into the night.

"I am going to kill whoever brought him back to life." Minako quietly declared, slashing the desk in two and disappaiting her sword. Turning to Kunzite, she looked tired, worn and weary. "What about Wakagi?"

"He's unconscious on the other side of the hallway." Kunzite said calmly, pointing to a monitor. He grabbed Minako and pulled her to him, nuzzeling her neck and cheek.

"Come on, we have to get him…" Minako said in a monotone, attempting to push away.

"You aren't getting away not that I have you." Kunzite said, his wings agitating, fluttering slightly in annoyance for her attempted escape. Kunzite blinked, and suddenly he was on the other side of the room- Minako glaring daggers at him.

"I've had enough for today. I am getting Wakagi and returning to the department." With that she turned on her heels, shattered the remaining glass in the hall way and picked up her boss, holding him in some odd form of princess style, troubled with his taller, and slightly muscular form. Walking back into the office she strode past Kunzite, not giving him a second look.

"I'm glad that you are safe. Today has been a long day… or I guess the day really just started. I'll inform Sakurada that you will be taking the day off." With that, Minako jumped out the window only to land on a neighboring rooftop and speed towards the police head quarters.

While Kunzite sighed and tried to figure out how to get home, and how he was going to spend the next twenty four hours making amends with Minako, and dealing with a looming feeling that she betrayed him, and cheated on him with this Adonis, (it took all of Kunzite's will not to let his demonic persona take over and chase her) the blonde was debating the same things, in a slightly different fashion. Who had summoned Adonis, and who was that who ran away in the building. How did Kunzite come to see all of what went on, while Wakagi was still sleeping soundly in her arms? Entering the Police Department through the broken window in the conference room, she deposited Wakagi on the table, much to the surprise of her temporary aide, still working the scene. Before the aide could say much other that "Sailor V!", Minako was once again out the window, sprinting her way back home.
