I'm just now typing this story up. I wrote it on paper eons ago.

--

Minako walked into her home. Running her fingers through her soft golden blonde hair, she sighed while walking upstairs to the bathroom. She was half asleep. He long school day and driving Rei home had really taken a tool on her. She turned on the shower, "goddess, I feel like hell!" she began to strip, he body feeling weary. Watching herself in the mirror she stopped. "No wonder she doesn't want me I'm to skinny."

Stepping into the shower she sat down and cried.

Artemis P.O.V.

"Minako?" I poked my nose into the shower; the salty smell invaded my senses. I knew she was crying.

"Yeah buddy?" I heard her ask softly, as she pulled me into the shower with her.

"What's wrong," I asked purring as she began to slide her hands through my darkening fur.

"Just thinking about Rei, It's about time you have a shower you beginning to turn gray," She gave me a sad smile before grabbing that weird shampoo of hers and gently massaged in into my pristine white fur.

"Try not to think about it to much, " I told her, she rinsed the shampoo from my fur. "She'll come to her senses and realize she was wrong.

"You don't thing I'm being to hard on her, I mean, I did beat the shit out of "friend." I watched as Minako made the quotation signs with her curved fingers as she said the word friend.

She grabbed a dry towel off of the near by towel rack and bundled me into it.

As I dried off I told her. " Just let whatever happens happen, don't let bring you down at least you two are still friends. You're the longest relationship she'd ever been in." I walked toward the door. "Poor Kagome" I said as I walked out.

END P.O.V.

"Thanks Artemis, you always know how to make a girl feel better." I almost snapped at him. It wasn't that he'd said anything wrong. I just hate it when he decides to stat the obvious. "Like I couldn't have fingered that out for myself."

I stood up, done with my good deeds for the day. To tired to move I stood their letting the warm water soothe my arching spirit. I stared down at the water on the floor looking at my blurry reflection contemplating, what I saw repulsed me. My make up was runny, the eyeliner being the worst. My eyes were sad, my face looked tough. Not like the Minako I'd always been: but a new Minako. One who fought to forget to take others into consideration. I let Rei turn me into this! She left me because she was bored! Why am I chasing her? I asked myself for the hundredth time. But I knew. It was because I loved her, letting her go without a fight meant the worst kind of defeat.

I became enraged with myself. Angry at what I'm letting her do to me, Angry because I felt worthless. The girl I loved left me. I could always find another girlfriend, but not one like Rei. People don't understand how different she is, she was that one person I could never figure out, she made my think. She made my heart stronger, my hopes and dreams now seemed shattered. Everything I wanted surrounded her. Of course I had to your suppose to incorporate those you love into the rest of you life. Now the things I cherished most were either completely distorted or gone. So, I brought myself to the conclusion that she didn't deserve me and won't have me. But in the back of my mind I knew that wasn't true. All she had to do was apologize.

I shook myself out of thought, washed off and got out of the shower, glancing in the mirror I looked better softer, more me like, a smile crossed my features.

'There I am," I thought.

I was suddenly feeling cherry, wrapping up in my robe, I sat down in front of my computer turning it on. I signed onto my MSN messenger my friend Vanessa was logged on; everyone else had better things to do. I would have loved to have spoken to Mokato I heard she and Ami were going steady.

I pushed away from the computer resting my head on the desk I look at my room. I need to replace the ace bandage from where I had the bright idea to try cutting.

'Stupid Emo's, think of something else," I got up rummaging through my drawer until I found it. Gently I cleaned and rewrapped it.

I glared at the phone when it rang. Leaning over I picked it up without checking the caller I.D.

End P.O.V.

"Hello?" Minako lay on her bed resting her head on her newly bandaged arm.

"Hey," Rei whispered into the phone. She sounded worn out. Minako slightly smiled. "I may dislike her now but her voice is still absolutely orgasmic," Minako thought.

"What's up?" Minako asked trying to start a conversation with Rei hoping she didn't want to talk about their break up.

"Did you have fun with Kagome today?" Rei's voiced instantly changed, Minako could hear the distain dripping dangerously from her words. Rei was extremely jealous, Minako thought.

"Actually, I did." Minako poked. "She's an awesome kisser."

"Better than me? Rei asked

"Much better than you you," Minako giggled as she heard Rei groan on the other end of the line.

"Well then, I hope she can do you better than I can to," Rei teased.

"Rei, No one can do me better than you can,"

"I'm glad you gave me the pleasure of knowing what you taste like."

"Well if you hadn't broken up with me you could have a taste right now." Minako instant regretted her words; she didn't feel like getting into it with Rei today.

"Don't mess with me Mina," Rei's voice became sullen again.

"Your fault." Minako said casually.

"How can I get you back?" Her voice soft.

Minako's P.O.V

I sat the stunned, how dare she make my life hell and then decide she can just step back in. Does she really expect me to let her in with open arms again! My love for her has not been faltered but my trust has been breeched.

"Prove yourself," I hung up not wanting to hear her reply.

Rei's P.O.V

"Mina…" I trailed off as the phone disconnected.

I flipped the television on. Halloween was almost here.

I sat there my mind reeling.

"I don't want us to have the average date," Rei sighed. "This is going to be harder than I thought.

-- Venus.

"Highness," A new voice called out to her.

"What can I do for you?" Venus once again sat on her window ceil looking down upon her plant.

"Its not what you can do for me, it's what I can do for you."

"Excuse me?" Venuses blue eyes sharpened.

"Tell me highness, what brings you such measures of pain?" She could see the woman grimace. " Your people are becoming quiet irritable. The things that make this planet great are quickly evaporating. I can only hope that the people see what an emotional princess they have. It would not do it something was to happen between the planets. Everyone know Emotion rules over logical thinking."

"Who are you?" Venus asked calmly.

"How rude of me, not introducing myself." The woman bowed. "Kitannaru Tokumatsu,"

"It's sad how easy it is to get to me," Venus glared.

"It's my job to get past them unnoticed." She pulled off the hood of her silver cloak that hid her identity from Venus. "That is if you except me, but of course you'll have to see what I'm capable of."

Venus stared at her new Lady knight; she was proving to be very interesting.

"My pain is no excuse for the behavior of my people, I have no doubts they'll return to their normal selves in no time. The festival will be upon us soon."

"I beg to differ, highness," Kitannaru bowed low. "Only when you return to your original carefree self, will things on this plant become right."

Venus looked away from her, "we will see. It doesn't matter how emotional I am, battle is your job."

"Until you get restless," Kitan Retorted approaching the window ceil, looking out. " Beautiful view, almost as beautiful as our princess."

"Agreed," Venus smiled settling down a bit. The simplest thing such as a smile felt foreign to her, almost new. She would like this woman, as blunt as she was, a lot. "Now, tell me your story."

"Not much to tell," She began.

Minako's P.O.V.

"Mina! Open up," Mokato shouted from the other side of Minako's locked bedroom door.

Minako sprang from her bed scampering over to open the door.

Opening it wide Mokato blushed. Haruka looked toward Michiru.

"Are we interrupting something?" Mokato managed to get out.

"Huh?" Minako looked down, her face drained of color.

Her robe hung wide open, exposing her perfect body to the three lesbians in front of her. Closing it quickly she hurried over to her close, and got dress quickly.

"What's with the ace bandage?" Michiru asked Mina.

"Cut myself," Minako said dismissing the question with the wave of her hand.

"Minako frowned, "how?"

"With a razor," Minako zipped her pants.

"Doesn't Rei have football?"

"Yeah, I have to get their before they try and steal my number," thankful for the change in subject.

"I don't know how she plays that sport." Michiru sighed.

Michiru caught Haruka's eyes the look in the pleaded for her not to interfere. Michiru gave her a stern look in return.

Minako wasn't blind to those looks, the determined look on Michiru's face and the look in Haruka's eyes, the "just leave it look on Mokato's."

"Look okay I know it was stupid. And it hurt like hell. I don't plan on doing it again.

Mokato reached out and ran her fingers over Minako's bandaged arm. "Was it really that bad?"

"It was," Minako sighed, " but I think I'm getting used to it. She isn't just some girl. She's the love of my life. Pathetic huh?"

"Ye... Ouch Michiru," Haruka began saying before Michiru elbowed her in the stomach.

"No it's not" Michiru smiled " love is never pathetic, it just makes you do pathetic things, like cutting.

"Yeah to bad I value my life so much. I might have considered ending it.

"You not the only one" Haruka said. "I'm on edge everyday living with this woman," Haruka dodged Michiru's hand. "I'm kidding love."

"We're suppose to be having a serious conversation!" she scolded.

"I know but I just couldn't help myself." Haruka hugged her. "I'm sorry…"

She kissed Michiru softly. "Forgive me?"

"Will you two stop sucking faces this my story not yours" Minako said pushing through them.

"She's right," Mokato said walking in between them also. "Kiss when you get home."

"Sorry!" They coursed.

"No your not," Mokato called.
