Portrait Of A Princess (Venus)
By: Essence (Saliormoon175@hotmail.com)


' Most girls are destined to have one great love in their life. 
Serena had Darien, Jupiter has Nephlite, Mars has Yuchiro, and 
Mercury has Greg. But who do I have? No one. I am the Senshi of 
love and beauty yet can no one find it in their heart to love me?'

Mina looked up from her diary and out to the balconey. The moons
of Venus shone brightly over the castle. A little to brightly for 
Mina's glum mood, she looked down at the curvy writing that 
proclamied her loneliness and longing and slammed the book in 
fustaration. Mina got up from her desk and walked out onto the
balconey, a slight brezze ruffled her hair blowing a few stray 
strands into Mina's face. Growling in fustaration she pushed the 
strands behind her ears and leaned onto the rail.
" I am Minako Anio, Princess of Venus and the goddess of love, yet 
where is my one great love?" Mina muttred to herself. 
Deep down Mina knew it was quite silly to focus your life on finding 
love but she was Princess Venus after all and all her life she had 
been rasied on the aspects of love and all the wonder and beauty it 
was supposed to have within it. Mina just sighed and leaned her head
on her arms. 
A few seconds later Mina looked up, shock registering on her face, 
she was supposed to be on the moon to greet the new adivirsairs of 
Queen Serenity. Mina turn and ran into the room, her skirts flying 
behind her, already late for such an important incounter.

The Princess of the Moon Serenity or Serena has everyone called her 
stood beside her mother a look of boredom playing across her face. 
Behind her stood the Princess of the inner planets also known as her 
protectors. They were all there except for Venus who had still not 
shown up. 
A slight brezze blew upon them bringing the scent of flowers that 
covered the moon kingdom and the feeling of cold hatred watching 
them from above. Mars shivered at this but brushed it off as the 
teleportation pad lite up with 4 figures, 3 men and a women. Queen 
Serenity stepped forward to greet these new comers with all the 
warmth and genorasity she could bring. 
" Welcome to my Kingdom, you must be the princess of fragrent olives,
Kangyu," Queen Serenity said curtsying to a beautiful women dressed 
in red. 
" We are glad you invited us, I must introduce you to my royal guards." 
Kangyu waved a hand at the three men standing behind her at slight 
attention. They where studying the girls in front of them but they 
snapped to attention when their Princess signaled for them.
The first of the men stepped forward, he had long black hair tied 
back and dark peircing eyes.
" I am Seyia Kou or Sailor Star Fighter, I am pleased to meet you 
ladies," Seyia said with an agravated bow and a smirk on his face.
Serena and Rei shot each other looks but manged to keep their faces 
straight.
The tallest of the four stepped forward and gave them a rather slight
bow.
" I am Takki Kou, Sailor Star Maker, I am pleased to make your 
accuantice ladies." 
Ami blushed as the taller man caught her eye and held it for longer 
then was proper, she was finally forced to tear her gaze away and 
stare at the ground, her cheecks crimson red.
The third man steeped forward, he had silver hair and a rather bored 
expression on his face.
" I am Yaten Kou, Sailor Star Healer." With that Yaten backed up and 
gave the girls a dirty look.
Everyone was quite for a few seconds but then Queen Serenity regained
her composure and smiled at the new comers. 
" If you will follow me I will show you to your rooms, Girls," The 
Princess snapped to attention. " Prehaps when are guest are more 
settled in you would like to show them around the palace." The 4 
princesss nodded and watched the Queen walk off gaily chatting with 
the princesss while the three lights followed behind them.
" I guess Yaten is not to happy to be here," Jupiter said watching 
the retreating back of Yaten.
" Hey Serena, I think Seyia likes you," Rei said poking Serena in 
the side a smirk on her face. 
Serena instantly blew up, " You take that back Rei-chan! The only 
one for me is Darien!" Serena yelled back.
" I'm very surpirsed anyone like Darien would like such a MeatBall 
Head like you," Rei yelled back.
" Waaaaaa, that was so mean Rei, take that back!" Serena cried.
" Why you started it MeatBall head," Rei replied crossing her arms 
and shiffing at Serena.
Lita and Ami sweatdropped at such a display of childs emtions.
" Would you two please grow up," Ami screamed loudly over Serena's 
crying.
Serena stopped wailing and looked at Ami, a puzzled look on her face.
Ami did not scream, she was always so quiet and refiened.
" I mean, please be quiet," Ami said blushing.
Just then Mina came running up to them her breathing laboured and her
hair a mess.
" Am I late?" Mina gasped.
" Yes you are, they have already arrived, the queen is with them now," 
Lita replied.
" Ahhhh I always miss all the good things," Mina said groaning and 
snapping her fingers.
" Don't worry Mina, you can see them later. Right now they are 
resting, lets go have our tea and maybe after that they'll be 
refreshed," Serena said taking Mina's arm. The other girls nodded 
and they all walked toward the gardens.

Mina walked down the hallway of her palace, smiling happily. She was 
feeling much more cheerful, even though she had not been able to see 
the Three Lights, she did not mind. Spending time with her friends 
had cheered her up immensily. Now Mina hummed happily as she walked 
past the open library door. The voices floating out of it made her 
blood run cold.
" I feel that your daughter and I will make a wonderful match," a 
pompus voice said. 
" Well I don't know," a women's voice said sounding doubtful. " What 
if Minako is not okay with this idea. I thought we agreed to allow 
her to pick her own match," the voice added.
" Anio dear," A man's voice replied, " Minako has had more then 
enough time to find a match, she is 18 years old and has not even 
picked one. It's time for us to step in and take control, Minako 
will perfactly happy with Sir Glen here."
At the sound of that name, Mina gasped and threw herself agaisn't 
the wall opposite the door. Her heart beating mightly in her chest, 
her blood running as cold as ice. Mina was a bright bubbly girl and 
she liked everyone except Sir Glen. When ever he looked at her, Mina 
only saw lust and passion in those muddy brown eyes of his. Her skin 
crawled at the thought of having him as her husband. 
' What am I to do?' Mina thought to herself creeping closer to the 
door so she could peek in. Her mother was sitting percarisuly on a 
gold sofa hands folded in her lap watching her father who stood near 
the fire place deep in thought. Sir Glen sat in a gold chair his 
pompus feather hat resting on his lap. Sir Glen was looking at the 
King when he felt someone's gaze on him. He looked to the door where 
he saw Mina spying on them.
" Ah, Princess, I'm so glad to see you," Sir Glen said, his voice 
ever so mocking as he stood up.
Mina's first thoughts were to run and escape but both her parents 
looked up and saw her.
" Oh Mina I'm glad you have reaturned, please come in, your mother 
and I need to talk to you," Her father called to her.
Mina sighed and walked in, she avoided Sir Glens lusty stare and sat 
down in a wing chair near the window.
" You need me Father?" Mina asked in the soft voice used only when 
she was in the company of the King.
" Mina, your Mother and I have decided that it is time you were 
married," her father beagan.
Mina instanly sat up, the china statue of Adonis she had been studing
clutched in her hand. 
" Now Mina before you jump to any conclusions, listen to me," her 
father said holding out one hand. Mina sat back in her chair and 
pouted.
" Like I said, your mother and I have decided it is time for you to 
be married and since you have yet to find a match we have chossen on 
for you. Sir Glen," her father swept his hand to Sir Glen who was 
smirking in his chair. " Has kindly asked for your hand in marriage 
and we have accepted for you."
Mina jumped out of the chair, her blue eyes blazing with fire. " 
Father, I do not accept, I will not marry that pompus pig you call 
Sir Glen," Mina yelled her cheeks burning red.
" Mina mind your manners," her mother gasped.
" No I will not, all the other princess are allowed to marry for 
love, so why can't I?" 
" Mina, listen to us,' her father said breaking through her thoughts.
 " You were given ample time to find a love match but you didn't, so
we are taking control and you will listen us." The King said in a 
stern voice.
" No I will not, I would rather die then marry him," Mina screamed 
throwing the china figure to the floor. The figure smashed into 
millions of pieces, china flying everwhere. A thin red line appeared 
on Sir Glens hand and green blood began to drip out. Sir Glen quickly
pulled out a handkerichief and covered the cut while Mina ran out of 
the room crying. 
" What has gotten into that girl?" The King muttered watching her run
out. 
Sir Glen did not reply but just watched Mina run away, his eyes 
glowing with a strange light.

Mina ran through the flowers that formed the Vetianian gardens. 
Tears ran undaunted down her pale cheeks. She didn't even bother 
to wipe them away but continued to run. To where she was not sure. 
Mina just wanted to escape and be alone.
