Saint Seiya- Knights of the Zodiac

Chapter 10- A Saints' Graveyard

Seiya's POV

I'm at the kitchen, taking a shower from the sink to wash my hair till I heard a door bell ring. "Ok, ok, ok, I'm coming!!," I call. I grab the towel and head to the front door while drying my hair at the same time. When I open the door, Saori is standing there. "Yeah." She notice that I didn't wear my shirt and me and her are blushing as I slam the door shut.

*I can't believe it!! This place is a mess!! Why didn't sh called me first?! She shouldn't have think about it. I hope that these socks are clean. Ok, take an easy...* I thought. I scramble around the place to clean everything up as fast as I can before I let Saori in my house. "Ok, you can come in now," I call. She opens the door and walk inside as she look around. "Mhm, nice place," Saori spoke. She then look out through the window to see the nice view.

"So, why are you here? I don't think the head of the big foundation would drop by just to peek a house keeper," I ask.

"This morning... *hands me a black mail with blood* This mail came in my house."

I get up and grab the mail, open it, and read it out loud. "This is a challenge to the Bronze Saints for the Sacred Golden Armor and the girl. Date: a week from now on. Place: in the Murder Valley, Mount Tatiana in the Northern Alps. Be sure to bring the armor with you," I read,"I expected to get something like this." I walk to the window without hesitation. "We should try to bring Shiryu back as soon as possible. We need both Pegasus and Dragon armor so that we can show up to him."

"You cared about the Sacred Armor, not Shiryu. Even when his heart was stop not to long ago, and he still went. On a very dangerous mission. Even the girl as well." "I'm worried about Shiryu and the girl that was kidnap by Ikki and the Black Saints. *I turned around* But I think I'm even more worried about you, Seiya. I'm really am," she said. "A-Are you really... worried about me?," I ask. She nod as a yes. "Well, yes because of Shiryu won't able to get back with the armor, you will be forced to fight naked. But that is... without the armor I mean."

"I knew it Saori!! You mean that I'm too scared to fight without my sacred Pegasus armor!! You...!!" Saori gave me the worried look and it looks like she is telling the truth after all. *Shiryu, I wish you were here so that I can ask you about this. I always thought Saori was a selfish mob... but it seems that she is changing. She use to treat me like a servant. But today, she treated me like a friend. I don't understand why.* I look up in the sky as Saori heads back home.

Shiryu's POV

I went to China to meet my mentor to ask him on how to rebuilt both mines and Seyia's Sacred Armor. "Master, you're well!! How could it be?!," I greet. "It was a lie. I was never dying. I just said it to get you here," my Mentor grin a little. "That was very bad of you to tell such a lie to me, mentor. All the way here from Japan, I was so worried." "I'm so sorry, Shiryu. I'm the one to blame," Shunrei apologize.

"Shunrei only did what I did told her to do, so don't put blame on her. Besides, you were so confuse that you lost the match, didn't you?," he said.

Flashback when me and Seiya are fighting against each other and he notice my weak point by the chest

"Yes, I'm sure that was it. It was so clearly illustrate your main weak point."

"What do you mean my "main weak point"?," I ask.

"Shiryu!! Fights require concentration and a deep attach of mind," Mentor points.

"But master. Who could it be at peace after hearing a close friend of mine that is close to death bed?! No one could!!," I question. "It matters not whether you can or cannot. You must because you have been chosen as one of the Saints who fight for Goddess Athena and Goddess Diana. I thought the match would provide decent test run. So I order Shunrei to tell you the lie that I was dying. The results were unsatisfied factory showing you grief," my Mentor explain. Now that's a one salty answer that I received.
