"Minako?" Kunzite called softly into the dark room he had just entered. It had taken him almost four hours to find the key to her room since she did not tell him that the library she mentioned was her private library. Stepping all the way into her room, Kunzite closed the door and relocked it letting his eyes adjust to the lack of light.

"Kunzie." Minako muttered in her sleep, making Kunzite chuckle at the little nickname. "What took you so long?"

"Sorry Mina." he whispered taking off his jacket and shoes before laying down beside her. "Did you miss me?"

After staring at her for a long while he realized that she was still asleep when she started giving a full account of how to make porridge. Sighing at the fact that that night wasn't going to be anything like the last night they spent together, he slipped under the covers pressing her body against his. Wrapping an arm around her waist, the Earthian General fell asleep.

~*~ A Few Hours later ~*~

"So what is your least favorite vegetable?"

"C.aro.t.ts."

"If you could have one thing in the world what would it be?"

"Mi.Mina.ko." Kunzite muttered pulling her closer to him.

"Why?" Minako giggled. She had been awake for the past few minutes asking her sleeping lover tons of silly questions getting presumably truthful answers.

"Umm. what time is it?" he said stirring a little unaware of his last question.

"I don't know. three four in the morning. The light doesn't awaken for another couple of hours. So why?" she said looking at his curiously.

"Why what, Mina?"

"Why do you want me?"

"What are you talking about?" Kunzite said opening his eyes to see Minako had rolled over to face him.

"I asked If you could have one thing what would it be, and you said Minako. Unless you know someone else named Minako I think that would be me." She said smiling.

"You were talking to me while I was asleep? I hope I didn't tell you too much."

"No. but you still have to tell me why the hell you are here. And why you want me so much." She said snuggling closer to him and laying her hands on his chest. She began to kiss up his neck immensely slow.

"I'm not going to tell if you torture me." Kunzite said shivering a little as she nipped a small piece of skin. She immediately stopped at looks up at him awaiting an answer. Instead he lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her. "I change my mind, it can wait. I'm more interested in being with you."

"Why are you here?" She said pulling away and sitting up, leaning against the headboard of the bed.

"Why do you need to know so badly?" he said following suit and sitting next to her.

"Because it is important to me. Really important." Minako said as she fiddled with the blanket.

"To see you again and bring you back to Earth hopefully. Minako, I really missed you. I love you." He said putting his hand on hers.

"Do you really?" she half yelled as she jumped of the bed and stared at him "Why- no, do you really love me?"

"Minako. I do love you." Kunzite said pushing the covers away and swinging his legs to the floor. "What is wrong? You know that I love you. Do you not want me to? Do you love someone?"

"Why? Why do you love me? Because I am the guardian of Venus? Because I love you? Or are you just saying that so I stay with you?" Minako said dropping her head.

"What keeps you from believing that I truly love you? I've loved you since that day when you commanded me to treat you as a person and not an object. I love you, I can't even start to list why, your personality, your strength, everything about you even your rare faults make me love you more and more. Did you really think that I so shallow that I would only love you because you are beautiful?" he said frowning

"Don't go near it little one,

While it may be beautiful it is deadly

No one wants it nor loves it,

No one save the one who knew it back then.

It used to love everyone

Until that day when he came

It turned away from everyone and now sits as you see it

Only one who knows it well,

Only one to whom it will speak.

Fall into the trap and enjoy it while you may,

It will never see it's way out of the dark pit." Minako muttered,
recalling an old poem which she always used to think about. "The story
goes on, about a black flower. I always thought the poem was written
about me. The flower saw the light and heard it's calling, but never
thought that the call was for it to take. So the flower sits alone,
only talking to the caterpillar who lived under it and loved the
flower. I just can't see why anyone could love me for who I am. Cold
and distant, not wanting to be a part of any of it. A killer, a
swordswoman, a princess and that's only the start of my faults. Pardon
me General, but I cannot understand this."

"Then I suppose we don't know the same Minako. Mine is a sweet girl who can be dangerous though. She sees things her way and does things her way, not giving a care to the commands of others. To me, she is a true woman, powerful, strong in body and in mind, and caring. Maybe I love her because to me she is a goddess, I can't list all the reasons I love her, but I assure you it is for who she was on earth, not her title."

"The flower didn't die you know, one day it did talk to the sunlight and was never lonely again. I used to think that that part always ruined the story. But I guess whoever wrote it was right, not everything makes sense in the game of love. I'm sorry for all this Kunzite, I now know that it probably seemed to you some little rant of mine, but it meant a lot to me. I love you too." Minako said sinking onto the bed and motioning for Kunzite to lay down next to her.

"May I ask where this whole discussion came from? Did you doubt my love?" He said a few minutes later as he held the Venusian in his arms.

"I've never believed anyone's love, even when it does not include me. I'm sorry. I knew that you did love me. I just wasn't sure. I'm sorry." She whispered digging her head into his chest.

"I will mend that broken heart of yours one day. I promise." He whispered long after Minako had fallen asleep.

~*The Next Day*~

"You've never read the works of Alindorn Ogslane?" A certain Venusian princess said as she glanced at the pile of books to her left. "Who couldn't you read them? The accounts of ever battle on Earth from the memoir of survivors are in those books. You must read the battle of Serren Plains, it was rather violent, but the things running through the minds of those stupid rulers, what were they thinking?"

"You've never read any books by Lumare I bet." A silver haired general said as he sat down beside her under the tree. "Don't speak ill of the rulers, they did have just reason I suppose."

"Kunzite it was all over a girl leaving her family and she was believed to be in the other's palace!"

"I know I would have the same thoughts of blood shed if someone took you from me." He said taking a book and skimming through it. Early that morning the two had eaten breakfast and then deciding that the weather was too beautiful to stay inside, they took about twenty books and went to the orchard where they debated and read for several hours.

"Want to see something really beautiful?" Minako said as she closed her last book.

"You are already here Mina."

"No, this thing is actually beautiful, on the outside and inside, and what it is made of. Don't argue with me." She said putting a finger on his lips before he could compliment her again. She pointed to a small open space and started to let out small strings of energy. As the strings entered to middle of the glen, they wove themselves into a small shrubbery. (Hahaha! Shrubbery.. Love that word!!! **Monty Python reference kinda**)

"That is the power I hit Beryl with." She explained before adding more energy to the shrubbery and turning it into a small tree. "This is how much it takes for me to knock Artemis across the room."

"And this." She said turning the sapling into a huge tree about 40 feet tall and who knows how wide, "is how much I love you."

"You can be so cute at times Minako" Kunzite said leaning over and nibbling at her ear.

"Kunz. not in the garden. people might see us, I will go and get a few things and then we can take a picnic in the middle of no where... no one will see us."

"If we must." He sighed pulling himself away rather slowly.

"Meet me in the library after you take back the books. I'll be there in a bit." She said leaping up and kissing his cheek before running towards the castle.

Five minutes later the blonde princess had packed a little lunch and was on her way to get dressed and get a blanket for the two to sit on.

"Kunzite?" Minako said turning as she heard a noise after walking in the room. "Hey I thought you were going to met me in the library. Kunzite?"

No answer came from the silver haired man. Minako looked him over concerning, thinking he might be sick, and that was when she noticed the sword in his hands. With a shock of fright she stared into his eyes and gasped to see that they were clouded over into a dark grey color. She had seen it all before, the stance he held was the one he always had at the start of a fight, the glazed over look of his eyes was so familiar. Minako thought as quick as she could to remember that look she knew she had seen it before. Letting out another gasp she realized where she had seen it, it was the same look that the sage Beryl had when she was possessed.

"Kunzite come back!" Minako yelled, fear showing in her eyes. For a second she could have sworn his eyes unclouded and she thought he heard her.

"I'm sorry Mina. this is the other reason I came." her lover whispered before his eyes returned to the mono color. Raising the huge metal sword Kunzite rushed at her, Minako just standing there too scared, too afraid to hit back. Closing he eyes tightly and waiting for an impact that never came she heard a clash of metal. Opening her eyes she found Artemis in front of her, protecting her with another sword. Minako stood not thinking for a good minute or so as a battle between the two men raged on. Kunzite didn't care about Artemis, he only wanted her, he wanted her dead.

"Stop it!" Minako finally yelled as she snapped back to life when a drop of blood landed on the ground. It was evident that Kunzite had given Artemis a huge stab in the arm and that was one thing that Minako could not stand for. Anyone but her beating him up, he was he sparing partner and best friend after all. The two fighters almost stopped as a burning golden light engulfed the Princess' body. Gathering the energy into her hands she sent a huge beam at Kunzite knocking him against the wall.

"Maybe I went a little over board?" Minako whispered as she ran over to the General to make sure she didn't kill him. Finding that he was only unconscious she let lose of the breath that she was holing for hope. Using her energy she lifted him and set him down upon the bed before turning her attention to her guardian's cut.

"You know, none of these would have happened if you stayed out of the way." Minako said as she made Artemis sit on the couch as she started wrapping the wound on his arm.

"It doesn't matter. If I wasn't here I think you would have been dead by now." He said sighing and laying his hand on hers. "Minako I need to tell you something."

"Oh so Luna told you that you are going to be a father?" She said brushing aside his hand and finishing her work.

"Wh. What?!"

"I'm joking. What do you need to talk about?" She said finishing her work and turning to stare him in the eye.

"I.. I. promise you won't hate me for this?"

"I really could care less about you and Luna getting married. I mean I would care you just don't need to be so nervous about telling me this."

"Minako, It's not about Luna. It's me, I. I love you!" he said, a look of sincerity in his eyes. Before Minako could collect her wits, Artemis was kissing her lips. Flashing back to reality, she pushed him back on the couch and slapped him hard across the face.

"You are lying. If you meant it you should have told be before, or never. See you whenever." She said frowning. Lightly touching her finger to his forehead she made him disappear from the room. Standing up she sighed and walked over to Kunzite's unconscious form.

"Since I can't leave you here alone you better wake up soon. A certain itch for fighting has arisen inside me."
