Bride of Deimos 6

In the first, we get a return to the theme of “anyone who loves you will die” in that a boy who Minako falls in love with gets his in a story tinged with card-style fortune telling. Minako does it the regular way in the beginning and everything in the cards turns out to be true, then Deimos does it for her next. Of course, we know what Deimos says her ultimate fate is, but it’s delightful to see.
The last story is one where Deimos and Minako get along a bit better than usual. Deimos comes to visit her in the hospital and they find her room is haunted by the spirit of a dead ballerina who jumped out the window when she found out her feet would have to be amputated. Of course the ghost comes back to get revenge, et cetera, but it was an awesome story all the way through.
The other one that was amazing was one that involved Venus and Deimos instead of Minako. Deimos, in a moment of affection towards Venus, decides to go to Olympus and take a bit of revenge against Jupiter. He shows up at some ceremony celebrating the beauty of Jupiter’s daughters (because apparently they don’t have anything better to do on Olympus), and tells them that Venus said that the most beautiful could wear her crown. Jealousy rears its head and things turn ugly pretty fast, but it pleases both Deimos and Venus in the end.
What’s this in volume 7? PLOT? Could it be?
