Chapter 4

*****************

"Appearances are Deceiving"

"Cut!!! That's a wrap!!," the director shouted.

The actors, sound crew, and extras all paused for a minute....then chaos erupted. Everyone was rushing around the set getting ready for a three day holiday. Many were leaving with their families for the much needed rest.

*The movie is finally finished!! I'm_ really_ looking forward to my vacation,* Mina thought. Mina Clayton was a book office megastar. Her last movie, 'Way Up', grossed over 10 million in a weekend. Handing her fighting staff and tiara to the prop man, she headed for her trailer.

"Ms. Clayton!! Oh, Ms. Clayton, these are for you!!"

Mina turned around to see a page running towards her with a bouquet of white roses.

As he was handing her the roses, she said,"They're beautiful!!!" The roses had a note attached saying, 'To the lovely Venus, ....A devoted fan.'

"This also came for you, Ms. Clayton." The page was also a huge fan of Mina's and he adored her. She was always nice to him, not like the other movie stars he had worked with. He handed her an envelope with her name on it. She tipped the page and walked into her trailer.

It was a note from her agent, Sasha Alexander. She smiled and thought, *What am I going to with you, Sasha?* The note said, 'Congratulations on finishing the movie! I heard through the grapevine, that you wanted to go on that singles' cruise to Alaska, so as a present from me to you, I'm sending you. I have also included an extra ticket, just in case, you wanted to take someone tall, dark and_ extremely_ handsome. Being the Goddess of Love, I'm sure you will find someone rather quickly. ^_^ XOXOX Sasha.'

Mina smiled at her agent's attempt of matchmaking. *Oh well, I may not have anyone to take with me but I'm still going to have a wonderful time in Alaska. Maybe I'll find someone on the cruise.* She noticed that it sails the very next day. "Oh my gosh, I've got to book it!!" As she left the set, she was watched be two figures. They both nodded at each other and then vanished.

Mina went to her favorite boutique in Beverly Hills. Madam Monique's boutique catered to the very rich and down to earth customers. Mina didn't noticed that she was being followed by four people. Two of them watched her from the near by cafe and the others were with her in the shop. She was looking at some beautiful accessories when someone bumped into her.

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry!!," the voice said while steadying her.

Mina looked up and saw a man with the bluest eyes she has ever seen. Before her stood a man out of GQ magazine. He had blue-black hair and a smile that was electric. His strong lips were moving but Mina heard no sound, then she began to realize that he was talking to her saying, "Are you alright?."

"Oh...Oh....y..y..yes!! I'm just fine," Mina replied with an embarrassed blush on her cheeks.

"Hey, aren't you Mina Clayton, The Warrior of Venus? I love your movies!! They're great!"

"Thanks!! I really appreciate your comments."

"You're even more beautiful in person than on the silver screen," he whispered as he leaned towards her. Mina blushed again at his frank remark.

"How rude of me. I'm making these comments and you don't even know me. Let me introduce myself, I'm Daimon Blake. I've just arrived from New York and I'm starting my vacation.

"What are you planning on doing here in LA? Oh, man, that's way too personal from someone you've just met!!"

"Oh..., I wouldn't say that. I feel I've known you for a lifetime or two. I really don't mind your question."

"Okay, so what are you planning to do for your vacation?"

"I was planning on taking a cruise, but the cruise is sold out. It was a singles' cruise for hopeless romantics. And I must admit, that I'm completely hopeless when it comes to romance."

"Oh...Where was the cruise suppose to be heading?" *Please let him say Alaska, please...... please....PLEASE!!! *she thought with her fingers crossed

"It was heading for Alaska." *YES!!*

"What was that?"

"Oh..., it was nothing," Mina said waving away her spoken thought. "I just remembered that I have an extra ticket for that cruise from my agent. I was looking for new clothes to wear on the cruise."

"I think you look beautiful just the way you are. Hasn't anyone ever told ......" he stopped talking when he felt a major dose of magic and energy being used near by.

"Would you excuse me for a moment? I have to make an emergency phone call," Daimon asked as he quickly walked away from Mina. She had this confused look on her face and said, "Okay." Outside the shop, Mina saw people running and screaming about a _spider!?! About fifteen yards away stood the most ugly looking spider that Mina has even seen. It had eight long, hairy legs that helped spin its web around its victim. The spider was drawing energy through its webbing.

"Eww....I really hate spiders!!!!," said several women and Mina.

There was a bright flash of light and in the light stood a figure dressed in a White Ninja uniform. It stood tall and strong against the spider. "Well, well, well....I've finally met you in battle, White Wind. It's an honor and a pleasure_ for me, to take you out and deliver you to my master!!

"I promise you, you will not complete your mission, Madam Web!! I will protect the Royal Houses!!!"

Madam Web and White Wind began a deadly dance. Each were intent on destroying the other. As Mina watched the two combatants, her sign flashed on her forehead bringing with it a feeling a deja vu. It felt like she knew White Wind and something about Royal Houses. A figure was about to step out of the shadows to help White Wind, when it heard a piercing scream. It turned to see Mina being carried off by two men, and she looked unconscious. It couldn't catch them as they sped away for the scene. **Damn!!! They took Princess Venus!!** Sailor Uranus stepped out and shouted, "World Shaking!!," knocking the huge spider off its legs and giving White Wind enough time to deliver the death blow. White Wind breathed deeply and closed his eyes. As he was drawing from his Chi, he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "White Celestial Fire....Incinerate!!" Madam Web's scream was heard for several blocks then the screams stopped

"Someone took her, Daimon."

"WHAT?! Someone took Princess Venus?"

"Yes, but I she had a tracking device on her, just in case. I believe we could follow the signal to where they're keeping her." Suddenly, the was a beep on the communicator. "Daimon here."

"Is Princess Venus secure?"

"Ah...No, not quite!! While I were fighting the assassin, she was kidnapped."

"Kidnaped? By Whom? And where was Uranus?".

"Suspects unknown, Artemis. I was watching her before I stepped in to help Daimon and she was taken in the process. I couldn't use my powers because of too many bystanders."

The was silence on the other end of the communicator then, "Daimon and Uranus, you know the timetable has been moved up for the transfer of power. Find her, NOW!!! Meet at the rendevous point at 14:00 hours tomorrow, Artemis out!!!"

"I've never heard Artemis that angry before. We better find her, and fast!!," said Daimon. Uranus shook her head in agreement and they both vanished.
