Yes I am finally updating! YAY! I finally got around to getting the hard-drive taken out of my broken laptop to be able to be loaded onto the new computer! Allowing me to get the chapter I had already written off it! Yay this has made me happier and able to write more again! Though I dont have heaps of time at the moment. It is around Christmas and I work in retail and if you work in retail you understand how busy it can get instore! So updates will happen just not extremely frequently.

I also had someone review saying that everthing seems so easy for Mina and I know it seems like that but I am just trying to show how she makes it seem like nothing is wrong and how good she is at hiding her true self and feelings. Showing that she has more depth than is displayed on say the anime rather than the manga where she has more depth. This chapter shows a little bit of that but a bit further on more depth to Mina is shown. She isn't perfect but as you probably noticed things do come easier to beautiful people it is just the way things are lol.

I am sorry for the long wait on this chapter and hopefully it was worth waiting for. Please review it really helps and makes me feel good! So yes REVIEW thanks.

Both Mina and Ami shared dances with each of the members of the Three Lights. Ami danced once with Seiya, once with Yaten and three times with Taiki before moving to the side to talk to Setsuna and Artemis. Mina danced twice with Yaten, once with Seiya, once with Taiki and one more dance with Malfoy before noticing that Ron was sitting in the corner sulking alone as Harry had been dragged off to talk to Ludo Bagman.

Mina walked up to him and offered him her hand. He just shook his head but she wouldn't take no for an answer she pulled him up surprising him with her strength.

The two began dancing around and Mina takes the chance to talk to Ron about Ami. "Look Ron, the way you behaved was absolutely uncalled for but I understand why you did it. You were jealous of the way Taiki made Ami smile so happily. I just want to let you know that when it comes to Taiki you have nothing to worry about he is complicated, as is their history.

As lovely as Taiki is, he won't be able to stick around for long. He will need to return home and leave Ami behind. As confused as she is right now I am sure that she wants you in her life, maybe not right at this moment but eventually she will want you back in her life and will realise how she feels about you.

There is nothing for you to get worried about. The two may have some left over feelings for each other but they never dated, never will date and they definitely do not belong together, it would be far too hard and complicated for both parties."

Ron sighed and nodded. "I am sorry for behaving that way and I will apologise but can I ask you a question. What is between you and that other guy?"

Mina smiled sadly. "I had a crush on him before they left, a fairly major one but I know that Yaten and I do not belong together. As I explained they will have to leave and it will only end in disaster."

Ron nodded and the two danced till the song finished. Mina gave Ron a small hug before she turned around to see Harry walking up to her. As she started to walk towards him she felt a small tap on her shoulder. She swirled around to Cedric standing behind her smiling. Mina couldn't help but think that the man was very handsome.

Cedric bowed slightly offering Mina his hand. "Care to dance?"

Mina's cheeks tinged slightly pink as she nodded and grabbed his hand. He startled to lead and she smiled politely as he stuck up a conversation.

"I am sure you have heard it many times tonight but you look beautiful tonight Mina. You are definitely one of the most stunning here."

"That is very kind of you to say Cedric and you look lovely to. Though I can't help but wonder why you asked me to dance. We have only had one conversation before tonight."

Cedric smiled warmly down at her. "I know I am probably meant to hate you because you are clearly on team Harry rather than team Cedric but I don't see why that should matter. You seem like a lovely girl and according to most people you are great to be around."

Mina felt her smile turn from polite to a more genuine smile, she couldn't deny that Cedric was charming. "You don't mind me being best friends with Harry. I know that many hate the fact that Harry is in the tournament, especially those from Hufflepuff, they think Harry stole their glory."

Cedric let out a low laugh. "I do not mind at all. I can't have everyone on my side can I? But you never know maybe this dance will be so fantastic that it will make you forget all about Harry and you will jump on the team Cedric band wagon."

Mina couldn't help but laugh along with Cedric. "Well the dance had better be a bloody good one if I am to join your side."

"I will see what I can do. Maybe if I show you how chivalrous I can be it will help. I happen to want you to pass something on to Harry for me if that is okay?"

Mina nodded and waited for Cedric to continue.

"Well I want to repay you and I guess Harry for telling me about the dragons so I thought I would return the favour and give you a clue to give Harry for the second task. Well I'm not sure if you know but the egg wails when he opens it, so what he needs to do is to take... well a bath with the egg. "

Mina looked at him and rose on eyebrow. "You are not convincing me to support you Cedric. I told you straight out what the first task was about can't you tell me more."

Cedric sighed and nodded. "Okay well tell him to take the egg with him in the bath and well put it under the water. There is a little more to it than that but I can't tell you everything can I?"

Mina smiled and nodded. "Thank you so much for that Cedric, I will let him know..."

Cedric cut her off. "Tell him to use the Prefects' bathroom. It is the fourth door to the left of the statue of Boris the Bewildered on the fifth floor. The password is Pine-fresh."

Mina beamed at Cedric and leant up to press a kiss to his cheek making Cedric turn slightly red. He may be interested in Cho but he couldn't forget that an extremely beautiful girl was kissing his cheek.

"That is very generous of you Cedric. I will be sure to let Harry know. I am still fully in support of Team Harry but I assure you I have room in my heart for Team Cedric as well. I will be happy to cheer you both on."

Cedric let out a laugh and smiled warmly at the girl. "You are welcome and I am very happy to hear that I have at least some of your support. "

The two danced happily together until the song finished. When it finished Mina leant up and gave Cedric a hug. "Thanks for the dance Cedric and for everything else."

Cedric returned the hug and Mina walked away quickly to use the bathrooms.

Harry watched as Cedric bowed slightly and offered his hand to Mina. He felt the jealousy flare up when Mina turned slightly red before nodding. Mina and Cedric began dancing and Harry watched as her tense smile turned into one of genuine happiness. His hands turned into fists when he heard Mina's melodic laughter.

His vision of the pair was soon blocked by a Cho. She was standing in front of him smiling.

"Would you like to dance Harry?"

Harry nodded before grabbing her hand and leading the dance. The two danced awkwardly as Harry spent the first part of the dance looking at Mina. When Mina stopped dancing for a second to kiss Cedric on the cheek his grip on Cho's hand tightened causing her to wince slightly.

"Ouch Harry, can you not hold my hand so tightly."

Harry looked at their hands finally realising how tight he was holding it. "Oh, I am sorry Cho. I didn't realise I was too busy watching..."

Cho smiled softly at Harry. "You were too busy watching Mina. Its okay I noticed and I take no offense. You didn't really want to go to the ball with me did you Harry, you wanted to go with Mina?"

Harry gaped slightly and turned red. "What! You are wrong; I did want to go with you. Why would I ask if I didn't want to?"

Cho let out a small chuckle. "Maybe because the girl you really wanted to go with was going with one of your enemies."

Harry shook his head and tried to deny it but Cho just laughed eventually Harry sighed and admitted it. "Your right you know, the first person to pop into my head when I was asked to have a partner was Mina. "

"Of course I am right! Everyone can tell you feel something for her Harry, something a little more than friendship perhaps. Why do you think I was so shocked when you asked me to go with you? It was all just so unexpected."

"I hate to admit it but I definitely feel something more for her. I have been trying to fight it for a while because she is such a good friend and I didn't want to wreck that but how could I not fall for her? She is beautiful, kind, smart, funny and she was there for me when nobody else was. I have never felt this way about any girl before and I just don't know what to do. I never believed that at my age I would feel so strongly for a person but I do.

I wanted to ask her to the ball but I didn't know what that would do to our friendship and I couldn't get the confidence up to ask her. She is so special, not to mention she had plenty of guys after her and rejected all of them except Malfoy! I want to tell her but I really don't know how she feels! I mean maybe she likes Malfoy and wants to be with him, or Cedric they are getting along well right now or even that stupid Yaten who looks like every love song he is singing is for her!"

Cho spoke softly and calmly to Harry trying to reassure him. "I think she feels something more for you too Harry. She doesn't like Malfoy as anything more than a friend if the gossip I heard was correct she said they were only going as friends, I can't comment on this Yaten fellow because I don't know the situation and as for Cedric I am sure they will only be friends. The way she acts around you is different to all of the other boys.

She seems more relaxed around you, happier and she seems to have this extra glow around her when she is near you. It is mainly her smile that you can tell from. Her smile lights up around you and is very genuine. You are special to her just like she is special to you. You don't need to act now though Harry, just think about it."

Harry nodded and gave Cho a quick hug thankyou as the song ended. He decided then to go find Mina and let her know how he felt. He wasn't going to tell her he was falling for her but he was at least going to let her know that he might be starting to feel something more than friendship for her. He could only wish that she wouldn't react badly.

He looked around and saw Cedric walking up to Cho but to Harry's disappointment he was alone.

"Cedric, where is Mina?"

Cedric shook his head and smiled in apology. "I don't know sorry, we finished the dance and she walked off."

Harry shrugged his shoulders. "Thanks anyway, I will see you guys round."

Cho nodded and waved goodbye as Cedric stood with his arm around her smiling politely. Harry walked over to Ron to get him to help him search. The two started looking all around the Great Hall but couldn't find her anywhere.

"Maybe you should ask Malfoy if he has seen her Harry. I hate to talk to him but he is her date after all, he might know where she went."

Harry groaned but nodded and made his way over to Malfoy who was standing up with Crabbe and Goyle.

"Malfoy, do you know where Mina went?"

Malfoy sneered at Harry, feeling jealous because Mina didn't spend a lot of time with him. "Why does it matter to you Potter? She is my date after all."

Harry rolled his eyes at him. "Do you know where she is or not. I need to tell her something."

"Why should I tell you? She is my date not yours."

Ron stepped forward and smirked slightly. "She only agreed to go with you as a friend Malfoy and it isn't like she spent a lot of time with you tonight. Haven't you noticed she has been dancing with many different people? It is like you two didn't even come together."

Malfoy narrowed his eyes at Ron. "I would shut up if I was you Weasley. At least I managed to get my own date and not some charity case. Plus she chose to say yes to me after rejecting all those other boys. She wanted to go with me and be my date."

Ron glared at Malfoy and spoke dryly. "Mina stressed that she only went with you as a friend nothing more! She doesn't want to be your date. She is just being your friend! I bet she doesn't even want to be that and is only trying to be your friend to prove that there is good in everyone. Though I think she is wrong in your case."

Malfoy threateningly stepped towards Ron as Harry watched his friend fight for him knowing that Mina would hate the situation. "Shut the hell up Weasley. She chose to come with me not you and not Potter. She chose me!"

Ron laughed at Malfoy. "She didn't choose you, she settled for you. You are nothing more than a friend Malfoy. You're not even one of her closest friends, nowhere near the top. Why would she want you when she has Harry Potter?"

The three boys failed to see Mina walk back in as the two exchanged some more insults. She stomped over to them and stood in the middle with Ron and Harry on one side and Malfoy on the other side.

"Please stop. I thought you were over all this Draco I thought you had finally embraced your soft side. Where did this come from and Ron please I thought you would at least be civil. What is wrong with you both? This is a lovely formal event at least try and act sophisticated."

Ron felt his face flame up at being told off by Mina and the look that Ami was sending him from her spot on the wall where she was watching curiously with Professor Meioh and Mina's cat which he could swear was giving them all the death stare.

"You are right Mina, I will stop now. Sorry."

Mina smiled lightly at him as he walked away to a nearby table. She swirled around to face Malfoy who was still furious at the way that Ron was talking to him. She took in his threatening stance and balled up fists and felt her anger reignite.

"Mind telling me what that was about. God Draco I am so sick of these fights you cause. "

Malfoy's cold eyes stared at Mina, glaring slightly. "Of course I must cause the fights I am the Slytherin. The fights would never be caused by your precious Potter or Weasley. I thought you were different from all the other Gryffindors wanting to genuinely become my friend but you just wanted to change me!"

Mina looked up at Malfoy with confusion and sadness in her eyes. She was just trying to find out what happened and he was taking his anger out on her.

"No Draco I just wanted to help you realise the good inside of you. I knew that if you looked past your prejudices that you would find happiness. I just wanted to be a good friend to you"

Malfoy's eyes turned colder than she had ever seen them. "No you were just meddling in my life changing me for the worst and we aren't friends we could never truly be friends you are a Gryffindor, a filthy mudblood and a whore. You wasted my time and yours."

Mina almost stumbled back from the weight of his words but she just stayed still shocked at what he had called her. She heard him call others that name but never around her and most importantly never about her.

Harry watched as the tears started to form in Mina's eyes and he decided to stop Malfoy from hurting her anymore. He stepped in front of Mina pulling her behind him slightly. "You just took it too far Draco don't you dare insult her. She is the best person I have ever met and she was nothing but nice to you and this is the way you repay her."

"Back off Potter, don't make me hurt you! You won you can have her!"

"You are a jerk and it isn't like you deserve her anyway!"

The coldness in Malfoy's eyes faded slightly.

"Like you deserve her Potter you may think you are great but you aren't you are just a silly boy with a scar on his head.

I deserve her more than you I changed for her, I went against what everybody in my house said and dropped all my prejudices for her. I was falling for her even though it went against all that I believed in."

By this point Ami had made her way over to Mina and dragged her to the side slightly and was comforting her as Mina watched the two arguing watching silently, unable to form any words. Mina knew she should stop the fight before it got any worse but she was unable to comprehend the situation and failed to notice many of the students had stopped what they were doing and were watching curiously.

The fight definitely didn't disappoint as the anger that Harry felt because Mina was being treated badly consumed him. He took a step towards Malfoy, his hands balled up into fists.

"You don't deserve her Malfoy because the fact that you had to change tells you you're not worthy. You would inevitably end up back the way you were and break her heart. At least I was friends with her from the beginning. I never insulted her friends. I helped feel welcome and I was there for her when she needed me. You may be falling for her Malfoy but I have already fallen for her, I love her!"

Malfoy took a step towards Harry and was staring him dead in the eye. His voice was as loud and as sure as Harry's had just been.

"Well that is one thing we have in common then Potter because I love her too!"

The room turned dead silent after the declarations of love. Everybody was shocked that two enemies had managed to fall for the same girl.

The two boys stared each other down and before anyone knew what was happening the two flew at each other and started to fight, the old fashioned way with fists flying. All those around the fighting pair were so shocked that they were fighting with fists that none of them could move. They were all so occupied that they didn't notice a beetle fly off Harry and make its way over to Mina and attaching itself to one of the layers of tulle in her skirt.

Those closest to Minako and Harry emotionally, all had varying expressions on their faces. Seiya looked amused to be seeing a fight, Taiki looked worried that somebody would get hurt, Yaten looked resigned to the fact that he had lost any chance with Mina, Ron looked guilty that he started the fight, Hermione looked shocked that the two were fighting like muggles, Setsuna looked disappointed that the two boys would use violence and Ami had a look of sympathy directed at Mina. Artemis was different from all of them he was hissing loudly, his face bright red in anger ready to pounce at the two boys, luckily he was being restrained or the two boys would have had scratches all over them.

Mina just stood staring at the pair with her mouth slightly open, trying to comprehend the situation. She was trying to get her head around the fact that two of her guy friends not only liked her but loved her! How did she not notice that before she was the senshi of love for god's sake!

Ami noticed how out of it Mina was and gently placed her hand on her shoulder in what she hoped was a comforting and encouraging gesture. This broke Mina out of her trance

Mina pulled away from Ami and went between the two boys pushing them apart and holding them back with one hand on each of their chests.

"STOP both of you! Neither of you have me I am not some prize to be won! When and if I had chosen one of you I still would have wanted you both in my life! But now after that display, I am not sure I want either of you around me. You are fighting over me like some toy! You are not children anymore, you both should just grow up!"

The tears that she had been trying to hold back finally start falling down her face. She hated people to see her cry so she turned away and ran out the door of the Great Hall back to the little hideaway she was sitting in with Ami earlier.

Back inside the Great Hall Artemis was trying to escape from Setsuna's arms to chase after Minako but Setsuna held on tight and pointed to Yaten who was stepping down from the stage. He walked up to the two boys who were staring after Mina feeling guilty for making her cry.

Yaten stared at the two boys with anger and disappointment shining in his eyes.

"You two are absolute idiots. Do you realise that you just pushed her away. Mina doesn't like to be treated like an object, her parents do that and she doesn't need you both to do it as well. She may appear to be perfect on the outside. She is beautiful, always smiling, as loads of friends and is smart but she has been through so much and hides that away. You both probably brought back memories that she never wanted to remember. She deserves someone that will love her and care for her unconditionally, someone that will treat her with respect, be loyal and be there for her when she needs it.

At the moment neither of you are what she needs, neither of you deserve her after the way you acted. Get your act together so that you don't cause her anymore pain. Mina doesn't need any more people bringing her down."

Malfoy just glared at Yaten before stalking off to the side where Pansy was waiting for him to tend to his wounds. Harry on the other hand nodded slightly at Yaten before trying to find Mina to apologise.

He found her sitting towards the rosebushes, her back towards him. He cleared his throat slightly and watched as she slowly turned around.

His hear broke at the sight of her. Her eyes were slightly red and the tears were still running down her face, luckily her make-up was waterproof and she was saved from having panda eyes.

She quickly tried to wipe away the tears as she saw Harry. She glared at him and said softly. "Go away Harry. I do not want to talk to you right now."

Even though those words came out of her mouth she was secretly touched that he came looking for her, hopefully to apologise.

Harry sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "I came to apologise Mina. My behaviour in there was horrible and inexcusable. I didn't only embarrass myself but I also embarrassed you. I hope you can forgive me but I understand if you don't want me in your life anymore. I can't speak for Malfoy but I know that I will do anything to keep you in my life. Just please give me another chance."

Mina sniffed slightly and turned her head away from him. "Please Harry, I don't want to talk about this right now. Please leave."

Harry opened his mouth to say something more but stopped as he saw more tears make her way down her face. Harry felt terrible and decided to respect her wishes. Hopefully after she calmed down a little she would be able to see how much he cared for her and would forgive him.

Instead of saying something more he nodded and walked back into the castle. Ron was waiting for him outside of the Great Hall and the two made their way back up to the Gryffindor Tower not in the mood for a party any more.

Ron was smart enough to not speak until Harry was ready. This time didn't come until both of them had changed out of their dress robes and were sitting around the fire.

Harry had his head in his hands trying to stop the tears he could feel in his eyes.

"I messed up Ron, I messed up badly and now she wants nothing to do with me."

"I'm sure that isn't true mate. I think she cares for you and just needs time. Though I need to know Harry, do you really love her or was it just something said in the heat of the moment?"

Harry groaned and looked Ron straight in the eyes. "I am not sure if it's true honest to god love but I know I feel strongly for her. I don't really know what love is, since I am only young but what I feel for her is so much stronger than anything I have ever felt. It is stronger than what I feel for you, for Hermione and even stronger than what I feel for my parents. If that isn't love I don't know what is."

Ron stared at Harry with his eyes wide. "Wow Harry, I think that what you feel might actually be love. Not that I am an expert on love or girls but I think that what you two share is love. I also think that she just needs to think and absorb it all."

Harry nodded and lay back against the big armchair. "I can't believe we both got into fights tonight with the girls we like. I hope they forgive us."

Ron spluttered and turned slightly red. "What are you talking about I don't like Ami. She is just a good friend."

Harry just stared at Ron and raised his eyebrow. Ron stared back for about a minute before he too sunk back into the chair. "Fine, so maybe I do feel something more that friendship for Ami but it isn't like it matters. She is still angry from the fight earlier, she could barely even look at me after that. It seems we are both in the dog house for now mate. Let's hope they can forgive us."

"I think we should just apologise and let the girls decide where to take things. Maybe leave the love thing alone for now and get them to be our friends again."

Ron sighed and nodded. The two spent the rest of the night in relative silence waiting for the girls to return to the tower so they could apologise. Most of the students came through the entrance, avoiding both Ron and Harry as they could clearly see that they were in no mood to be disturbed. They waited to well after midnight until the girls came back to the Gryffindor Tower.

Mina sat in the darkness staring at the beautiful roses surrounding her, lost in thoughts. After Harry had walked away she let herself think about the situation. She sat down and gently smoothed out her skirt, not noticing a beetle fall out of her skirt and scuttle into the bushes.

She thought about the emotions she felt for three different boys. She started with Yaten, the boy she had known the longest, the one that knows one of her deepest secrets. She still had a small crush on him, she could admit that but that crush had slowly been deteriorating after he left. He also knew that the relationship wouldn't go anywhere. First off he was leaving later that night, he too was a sailor senshi so he wouldn't have time to see her and lastly he was more often than not a female on his own planet, even though he told her that on his planet gender doesn't really exist.

Yaten was detached from her world but he understood her duties but unfortunately that would be what kept them apart and she knew that, though there would be times when his green eyes and delicate face would pop back into her mind.

Next there was Draco Malfoy, the seemingly cold hearted boy with eyes that could chill her to the core or warm her heart. He was an arse to pretty much everyone but yet to her he showed a hidden side, a warmer more considerate side. It was like he was two people the jerky Malfoy and the caring Draco.

In a way he reminded her slightly of Kunzite. The cold heartedness, the unwillingness to show everyone that he had a soul and the way he would hid everything he felt like it was a weakness. He even had similar looks with the pale hair and cold eyes. But if Mina was honest with herself she knew that she felt nothing more than a slight attraction and friendship for the boy. The fact that he reminded her of Kunzite probably kept her from feeling more knowing what it was like to deal with a man like that and feeling the sting of betrayal.

Finally there was Harry Potter. He was different than any of the other boys she had been involved with. He wasn't afraid to show that he had feelings, he was kind and courteous. He made her laugh and she never felt that he tried to change her to fit what he wanted. He liked her for her and nobody else. He treated her with respect, treated her like and equal and had quickly become more than just somebody she needed to protect.

He managed to get through her walls and find a place in her heart. True he had no idea about what she had to go through, the duties she faced but in a way he understood her. He understood what it was like to not have parents (his being dead and hers ignoring her), he understood what it was like to have people not looking past what they saw, (for him not seeing past the fact he was the boy that lived and for her not looking past her looks), they both knew what it felt like to lose people that you loved and have to fight for their lives.

Their lives were so different but yet so similar. Mina felt a connection to him that she didn't really want to analyse because if she did she would realise that she was truly falling for the boy. Something she hadn't felt since her time with Kunzite.

She knows that if it came down to it she would chose Harry over Draco but she can't because she knows if she chooses Harry, Draco would never speak to her again and despite what she said to them both she wants both of them in her life.

She groaned loudly in frustration not understanding when her life got so complicated. She was so lost in thoughts that when a voice spoke her name she nearly fell off the bench.

Mina quickly wiped her face to get rid of the tears before turning to the person. She smiled sadly and let her tears fall when she saw Yaten standing there. He sighed and sat down beside her pulling her into a hug letting the tears soak his shirt.

Yaten waited patiently for Mina to say something, he remembered for such an open girl she kept her true emotions hidden and would only talk when ready.

"I just can't believe they were fighting over me. I had no idea that either of them liked me Yaten. If I did I would have handled things better."

Yaten sighed as he grabbed her chin gently guiding her face, so he could stare into her beautiful blue eyes.

"Mina, you did nothing wrong you are just too enchanting for your own good. Don't worry they will come back begging for your forgiveness. If they truly felt something for you they couldn't stay away. There is no way they could stay away from you. "

Mina let a small smile spread across her face as she lost herself in Yaten's uniquely lime green eyes. "Is that why you are back Yaten? Did you miss me?"

Yaten chuckled slightly and nodded. "Yes I know I was a jerk to you back then but that was to cover up how much I actually enjoyed your company, not to mention we had our mission. When we were gone I spent that time wishing I had told you how I felt, wishing you knew."

"I missed you too Yaten and I knew."

"You knew?"

She nodded and he smiled softly caressing the side of her face. "If only I had told you we could have had some time together. No matter how short that time may have been it would have been worth it. I would have had you."

Mina could not tear her eyes away from Yaten. She didn't know if it was because the feelings she once felt so strongly were returning or if it was because of the way his hand was gently rubbing the tears off her face and the honest, vulnerable look in his eyes.

"We have now Yaten."

With that she leant forward capturing his lips with hers. The kiss was soft and sweet. She pulled back shyly and he smiled pulling her to him again. This time their kiss was passionate and full of need, the two only separating when out of breath.

"I wish we could share more moments like this but..."

"You leave tonight."

"Yes and that is when we start our full duties, I don't know when we will get a break to see each other again."

"It is okay Yaten, we will always have this moment and maybe others when you visit again."

Yaten looked at Mina sadly before he shook his head. "No we won't you will have moved on and be happy. That's all I want for you Mina, for you to be content and a certain wizard inside will make that happen. Don't worry about what happened too much Minako, all will work out fine. You will have both of them in your life."

Mina felt tears spring back to her eyes and was unable to formulate a response. Instead she threw herself at Yaten and embraced him tightly wishing everything could be simpler, that he could stay but also hoping that everything he said was true.

"I hope so Yaten but you will always have a spot in my heart and every time I see a shooting star I will remember you and how bright you shone. You were brighter than any other and that is the way I will always think of you."

Yaten smiled softly as a single tear rolled down his cheek. He pulled Mina tighter and kissed the top of her head. "We should go to the roof. I was meant to meet Taiki and Seiya there. We will be leaving soon and I doubt Draco and Harry would be happy if they knew what just happened. Especially after they both declared their love for you."

Mina let out a small laugh that was full of sadness and nodded. He helped her up and the two started to walk back inside. She laid her head on his shoulder and sighed.

"I suppose your right, just what they need to see the night they both profess their love I end up with someone else entirely but I do wish we got too spend more time together. This one night seems hardly enough."

Yaten nodded in agreement and the two walked to the roof in a comfortable silence. On the roof waiting was Seiya, Taiki, Ami, Setsuna and Artemis.

Ami was blushing bright red and had tears in her eyes. Mina walked up to her and wrapped the smaller girl in a hug.

"Whatever small moments you shared are worth it no matter how much more it hurts now to see them go."

Ami nodded and smiled softly gently pulling away from Mina to make her way over to each of the Starlights. She gave each of them a hug goodbye before stepping back and standing beside Setsuna.

Seiya, the joker of the bunch tried to lighten the mood after seeing the tears in nearly everyone's eyes. "Thanks for that show you guys put on tonight! It really made my night and made this the best vacation ever. I haven't seen a fight like that in a while. All the ones we usually see involve weird monsters, it was good to see a good old fashioned fist fight."

Minako laughed softly and walked up to Seiya giving him a hug. "Oh Seiya never change and I hope you find love."

He returned her hug. "Don't worry Minako, I think I will."

Next she walked to Taiki hugging him as well. "I know you and Ami must have done something because you are both bright red and I am glad that you got one moment of happiness. I hope to see you again Taiki."

"We will find a way to visit again Minako, but I hope that you don't wait for us."

He said the last part to mainly Ami who nodded as she walked up to him and grabbed his hand. She rose up slightly giving him a small peck on the cheek.

Finally Mina walked up to Yaten embracing him. "I will never forget you, even if I never see you again. I am thankful for what we had however brief it was."

Yaten not caring what the others thought bent down kissing her passionately one last time. The two ignored Seiya's obnoxious cat calls, the gasps from both Setsuna and Ami, the knowing smile from Taiki and the soft growling from Artemis.

"That was one more for the trip" He joked before turning serious. "I will miss you Minako so much. I hope you get everything you ever dreamt of. Good bye I love you always have and in a way always will."

Mina smiled at him and nodded unable to speak, choked up from the emotion she was feeling. She felt Artemis come to her feet. She picked him up and hugged him tightly as she waved farewell to the boys.

The three of them smiled and said goodbye one last time before the set off. Setsuna, Ami, Minako and Artemis watched the three familiar shooting stars shoot across the sky.

Mina sighed softly as she whispered to the group. "Let's go back inside and to bed. It has been on hell of a day."

The others nodded and they all headed back inside. Setsuna separated from the group to head back to her room. She gave each of them comforting hugs before she left.

Ami, Minako and Artemis made their way to Gryffindor Tower in silence all of them overwhelmed with the events of the evening and the emotions they felt.

As they walked back into the Gryffindor Common Room they were surprised to see Harry and Ron sitting by the fire.

The two boys looked up to see the girls staring at them with tears in their eyes, making both of the boys guilty for making them feel that way. Ron and Harry jumped up and walked over to the girls.

Ron walked in front of Ami. "I am sorry Ami for the fight earlier I hope you can forgive me."

Harry stood in front of Mina and gave her an apologetic look. "I am so sorry for all the trouble I caused tonight Mina."

Ami just stared at Ron before she turned away and walked upstairs without saying a word causing Ron to deflate and sigh loudly.

Mina sent a small smile his way acknowledging his effort before turning slightly to face Harry. Her smile faded slightly and she spoke in a monotone voice unable to feel any more emotions that evening. She didn't want to talk to him just yet, the feelings were too raw but she had to relay the clue Cedric gave her but at that moment she couldn't remember everything.

"Cedric told me to tell you the clue for the egg. He said to take a bath and take the egg with you. Good night both of you."

Mina spun around as a tear fell from her eyes. She gripped Artemis tightly before making her way upstairs. As soon as she walked into her dorm room she sprinted to the bathroom, letting the door close behind her as she sunk to the floor, tears racking her small frame.

Even though she had let tears fall all night, she had managed to keep some of them back but now she decided to let them all fall. She held Artemis closer and started bawling into his fur, listening to the soothing words Artemis was saying to her.

Finally after all her tears had stopped she looked down at Artemis to see him staring back at her.

"I should have known Artie. I should have known the way they felt about me! Now I have lost Draco as a friend and I have damaged the friendship I have with Harry."

"Mina you didn't lose Malfoy, just give him time and as for Harry, I don't think anything has changed. He is obviously sorry and wants you in his life."

Mina nodded sadly as she stroked his fur softly. "I guess but I am just so confused. How did I not see how they felt? Plus after seeing Yaten tonight, it is all just too much."

Artemis climbed up her arm until he was wrapped around her neck. "Mina just relax and stop thinking for now. It will all work out in the end and you will figure out everything. "

"How do you know it will all work out Artie? Do you not remember the curse Ace put on me?"

"Mina, Ace had no power of love, his curse means nothing and plus that has never stopped you from feeling and trying before. Trust me Mina, things like this always have a way of fixing themselves"

"I want to believe you Artemis, really I do but I have believed in Ace's curse for so long it's hard to just disregard it. I am so confused and I don't know how I'm feeling or what to do. I am so lost, I need my friends. I need the other senshi to guide me; I'm not strong enough to deal with this alone"

"Don't say that. None of that is true, I think you know how you feel but right now it is hard to comprehend everything. You are one of the strongest people I have ever known Mina. You have been through so much but still are this happy bubbly person that can brighten anyone's day. Most importantly you are not alone Mina, never ever think that. Here you have Ami, Setsuna and most importantly you have me, you will always have me Mina. I am always here for you, you know that. I will never let you be alone."

Mina had thought that she had cried out all she could have but after Artemis' heartfelt speech she felt them start to roll down her face again. She gently picked up Artemis from around her neck and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you Artemis, sometimes I just need reminding of who I am. I can't tell you how lucky I am to have you in my life and no matter how many other men that are in my life you will always be number one to me. None of them will ever be able to reach the standard that you have set for the way a man is supposed to be. Thank you for always being here for me Artemis, you are like the father never had and I would be so lost without you."

Artemis purred softly as Mina opened the door and put him down on the bed, curling up beside him. "You are one of the most important things to me Mina and like a daughter to me. I hate to see you hurting and will do whatever I can to stop it. Good night Mina, I love you."

Mina yawned loudly the events of the day finally catching up to her. She pulled Artemis in closer and mumbled sleepily. "I missed you Artie. I am glad you are here. I love you."

Awww how I love a protective loving Artemis he seems to me to be more like a father than her real father was. I love him! hehe anyway hope you liked it!
