Hey, cuties, it's me. Anyway, this is another story dealing Minako
and Kunzite. You probably figured out by now that I've an obsession
with the Senshi and Generals. This is set in the 17th century, Italy.
Hope you enjoy it. There will be other senshi involvement, as well
as some outers. Warning: Anime pairing fans beware.
Summary: Mina Silveri is famed throughout Venice for her charm and
beauty. Though she does not avoid men like the plague, no one can
boast of having claimed her heart. Sir Kunzite Glory is mysterious,
dark and dangerous, who can coax any female into his bed. But the
moment he sees her, he vows that she'll be his. Yet, he was not
prepared for the battle of wills, nor did he expect to lose his heart.
But will she return his advances?
**********************************
Prologue:
A raven-haired beauty in a deep-set red dress elegantly mounted
the marble steps leading to the Silveris' mansion. The sinking sun cast
a gently glow on her hair, high-lighting the red and purple hues. Her
bright amethyst eyes were cool and aloof, and she held herself with royal
grace. A uniformed footman held the door open, bowing low.
"Lady Rei."
She acknowledged him with a silent not, sweeping past him into the
glittering ballroom, her gaze focusing on a blond-haired girl surrounded by
freshly knighted men vying for her attention. The girl immediately stood
up as she noticed the other woman, breaking out of her circle of admirers and
welcoming the other. Rei smiled, losing the arrogant posture, her eyes warm
and gentle.
"Mina! How have you been?"
The blonde smiled, hugging the other.
"Rei. Glad you could make it tonight." and added in a Undertone.
"Pyro."
Rei threw back her head, laughing softly, the sound sweet yet incredibly
seductive at the same time. The two girls chattered amiably as they reached for a
glass of wine from the tray of an uniformed waiter, whom Mina had commanded
to come with a slight wave of her hand.
"Be glad Jadeite isn't here. He would scare all your suitors off."
Mina flapped her fan airily, referring to her brother.
"You know people say he goes quite often into psycho-older brother
mood when he's concerned about me, but he gets much, much worse when it
comes to a certain fiery-tempered lady. Good idea for you to reject your grandfather's
urging to become a nun. Think how it would crush all these poor gentlemen's hearts
to know that the object of their desires has taken a vow of chastity."
"Quite. I'd have to get all my drinks myself, and all those expensive
presents and dinners would have to be paid out of my own pockets, too."
They giggled girlishly as a man tripped over a chair in his way since
he was staring open-mouthed at Rei.
"You're hazardous to his health."
Rei tossed her mane over her shoulder, giving the fallen man a
flirtatious wink, causing him to turn an interesting shade of red. One could
have fried an egg on his face.
"I'm not the only one. The man with the silver hair by that corner
next to the parlor doors has been staring at you for far longer than it's healthy
for him."
Mina followed Rei's gaze, her eyes locking onto a pair of purplish-gray
orbs. His stare boldly asserted her, before he took a liberal sip from his champagne.
The girl frowned, a frozen smile curving her lips, as she turned back to Rei.
"There's an aura of danger around him." She murmured softly, her warrior sense
kicking in. A finely arched brow rose, the tiny badge on the shoulder catching her
attention. "Let's see if I can soften this knight's cold heart."
Rei shook her head in exasperation. She was leaving all these good-looking,
nice young men to chase after a probably unattainable knight, just for the sake of
doing it. But that was Mina, dubbed by her friends as Queen of Charms. Well, that
title was certainly well earned.

Kunzite smile cynically as the young daughter of tonight's hostess sauntered
towards him. At least this wouldn't be another jaded slut looking for a romp in his
bed.
"Already found your target for tonight?"
He turned to his companion, a young man with piercing green eyes and slightly
feminine features.
"Zoicite, in case you're blind, let me enlighten you: the picture of innocence
is meeting us head-on."
Zoicite turned, noticing the tight dress and how much skin it exposed with
one glance. His tone was sarcastic.
"Oh, look. Another little harlot to you to screw. There's nothing innocent
about her; she literally screams experience. Now, if you're looking for a virgin,
the blue-haired girl in the library might satisfy your curiosity."
Only sheer will power kept him from planting his fist into Zoicite's smirking
face.
He was about to place his champagne on a nearby table when the girl
walked right past him and curtsied deeply before Zoicite.
"Would my lord honor me with this dance?"
The young man bowed, extending his hand.
"You didn't have to ask, milady."
Kunzite could only stare, dumbfounded, as Zoicite led Mina onto the dance floor,
her golden laughter reaching his ears. He downed his champagne in one gulp, the
silver-purple orbs hardening. His hands fisted, the wine glass breaking into millions
of shards, but he ignored the glass cutting into his palm. She was his, and if he had to
kill a million men to get her.
From across the room, fear seized Rei's heart at the change of expression on
the knight's face after Mina's little stunt. Her friend was in hot water.
