Pluto's comment:   Just after the appearence of Sailor V in the manga.

      I'm home again.    After England and China, It feels...homelike.
Only not.    I've snuck in the window - Kaasan doesn't know I left,
and of course I can't let her.   She'd try to take the pen away and
hide it, or report me to the police as a Vigilante or something, if

"vigilante"

she found out I was Sailor V.   At the very least I'd be grounded for
eternity.
      And she'd scream at me.   But I'm used to that.     It doesn't
scare me like it once did.   Imagine Sailor V being scared of a
housewife yelling at her.
      Kaasan yelling still scares me a little.  Reflex, I think.
      I'm strung out on adrenaline and euphoria from meeting the others.
      I feel like I'm on top of the world and at the same time I feel
like the monsters are breathing down my neck.
      And I feel like I could start screaming and never stop.
      Zoicite is dead.   And I killed him.
I killed him!
      The little Sakura didn't even have time to realize he was

"sakura"

dying when I cut him down.
      He was always kind to me before.     He may have been Mercuries

"Mercury's"

lover, but he was also my good friend, and he was so responsible -
I remember this time on Io when he ordered me into a bed 'Before you
fall on your face and die of work' he said.

Comma after "work"

      And he was Mercury's love.    That bond, mutual respect becoming
the most innocent devotion...I know she always liked to think of her
self as worldly wise, and he himself as a jaded rich man, but they were
both innocent in their way.
      I've killed that bond now.   He won't come back again.  I've
killed love, and I'm the only one who understands that it's a
tragedy, because I remember.
      I remember.
      I want to scream.  I want to throw things about and wreck my
room with all of its happy dippy love pillows and everything and
paint the house in spilled blood.     I want to howl my lungs out in
grief.
      I want to take the little girl who is using Mercuries body and
shake her until she wakes up and remembers!  I want to slap the
preistess so hard the Kami�s will feel it! I want to break both of

"priestess".  The plural of "kami" is "kami"

Jupiters arms! I want to hold them and tell them it will be all

"Jupiter's"

right�but they don�t even know what I�d be lying about�
      They're all like that.   They don't even realize it.    When I
asked Rei-san what they had done while I was Sailor V, she told me,
"We've gotten rid of Jadeite and Nephrite."   And she said it as if she
were proud.  Proud~!
      And now there is only one left.
      I want to go insane.   I want to tear the city- no the world
apart looking for him and take him back!   I want to take the Demon
Queen apart and torture the pieces.   I want to die.  I want to end
it all, the whole universe.   I want him to appear here and hold me
for the rest of time.   I want to wake up and find out that the last
year has been nothing but a dream.
      I won't.    I'm sitting at my desk stareing at my mirror but

"staring"

not seeing anything but worlds that died centuries on Millennia before

No need to capitalise "millennia"

Minako Aino was ever born.       I fear I am going mad.
      I fear.....
      I can't even think it.  How can I do it?
      Because...I know I'll have to.   We don't have enough time to try
to heal him.  Now that the others have died, a part of me thinks, why
should I be the only Senshi to have their love return?   The prince we
might save, but my love has been in thrall much longer, it would take
far to much to break a controlling that long set.  The enemy has
advanced to far.  The next attack, it will be kill or die.
      Gods.  How can I be such a shallow little bitch?
      The population of entire worlds, my home, my princess, the prince,
my sister Senshi, and I myself!  We died because of him and his brothers
and their betrayal and all I want is to be able to kiss him just
ONCE MORE...!

One thing that interested me about Minako is that Adonis more or less 
prophesied that Venus would always go loveless.  At the end of her series
she more or less forswears the hope of love in favour of her duty.
