Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, Sailor V or Yu Gi Oh. (Yes, Mai in this is Kujaku Mai from Yu Gi Oh). I did, however, create all the OC's in this. Okay, this is a bit wierd, but it's just an idea that came to me and I had to write it. Enjoy .

Venus

BySilverSailor Ganymede

A typical blonde ditz: that's what I am, or rather, that's what everyone thinks I am. I seem so naïve… but I'm not. I'm not a child. I seem to be a child, but I'm truth, my inner child died long ago.

I was a mere thirteen years of age when my inner child died for good. That was when Artemis found me… when I became a Sailor Senshi… when fate dealt me my hand. However, I first began to see the true nature of life when I was far younger than that. My real mother committed suicide when I was but seven years of age, leaving my sister, Mitsuko, and I with a workaholic father who didn't seem to realise that Mitsuko and I even existed.

And then it got worse. When I was nine and Mitsuko was seven, Father remarried. The woman in question was Tenshi Kohana or Kujaku Kohana as she then became. She wasn't interested in him, just in his money. She brought with her that idiot daughter of hers, Naomi, and we- that is Mitsuko and I-, were ignored completely.

Father died when I was eleven, and Mitsuko and I were sent to live with my mother's sister, Mana and our cousin Mai, in England. I loved it there, but sadly, after six months, Mitsuko and I were forced to return to Japan when my aunt died… no, when she was shot.

We went back to Japan. Mai bought herself an apartment, but she couldn't earn enough money for all three of us so Mitsuko and I were put into care. We were adopted by Namiko and Tatsu Aino and it was there that I met Artemis… it was there that I became Sailor V.

We returned to England for a short while, and Mitsuko figured out that I was the Sailor Senshi who had been fighting the Dark Agency. She was very angry with me for keeping secrets from her. We soon made up though, and it was Mitsuko who comforted me after I discovered that Alan was in love, not with me, but with Katarina. They were my friends, but I could never face them again after that.

When we moved back to Japan, Artemis informed me that four more Sailor Senshi had been awoken. I soon met up with Tsukino Usagi -Sailor Moon-, Mizuno Ami –Sailor Mercury-, Hino Rei –Sailor Mars-, and Kino Makoto- Sailor Jupiter. They became my friends, but all they ever saw of me was my naïve, ditzy façade. Only Mitsuko-chan and Mai-chan ever knew the real me.

I brought cheer to everyone… I still do, in fact, but why am I fated never truly feel happy? I am the protector of the element love… but why am I fated to never feel love?

I am a ditz, but it is only a façade. But if I truly believe this façade, will it be a mere façade for much longer? I am the one who appears a child in body and mind, but who has lived, in truth, for thousands of years. I am the one who lives a lie that none can see through. I am the loveless goddess of love. I am Minako… I am Venus.
