A/N: Hello…me again. I'm so so sorry…I hope you're not bored with me…. So many things happened and writing fanfics is one of the solutions to release the tensions in my minds %-(. As the people said, the more the troubles you have, the more the ideas you got :).
This is the continuation of the Epilogue in The Sketches. It doesn't have the same theme with The Sketches, though. This fic is a little bit crossover with manga/ dorama Full House, and there will also be little aspect I take from SS The Lost Canvas. Thanks for everyone who's supported me to write this fic. I will submit two chapters in every one or two weeks. Hope you'll enjoy this, and please review. :) Suggestions and constructive criticism are welcomed.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Saint Seiya, nor Full House
CHAPTER ONE
Leaving…Leaving…
Kido's mansion had been a place in which the Goldies and Bronzies could gather with each other. It was the dwelling where brothers could share their problems, friends could always did pranks to each other, fellows could always create unforgettable memories, and so on. It wasn't merely a luxurious building; it had been a home.
That's why the Goldies and Bronzies were extremely stricken when somebody told them they had to leave the house.
"What do you mean we have to leave this house?!" asked Aiolos indignantly to the lawyers who sat in Kido's mansion's living room. "Miss Saori has inherited this house to us."
"For the eleventh times I tell you, Sir," said one of the lawyers furiously. "Someone has bought this house. He's bought almost all Kido's business wealth, including this house. Since he will move to this house in the meantime, you have to get out of here soon."
"But how come Miss Saori let her wealth sold out easily?!" said Aiolia in despair. "She knows we live in this house."
"We don't know and don't care about it," said the other lawyer. "We are only obligated to work on the things related to legals and make sure you've already left the house before the new owner taking place."
"Who is it?" asked Seiya. "Who's bought this house?"
"I'm sorry, he doesn't want his name to be revealed."
After explaining all boring things related to legal and laws, the lawyers decided to go.
"We give you three days to empty this house," said one of the lawyers finally. "And we will fine you if you don't pay any attention towards the rule."
All Goldies and Bronzies looked at each other after the lawyers' departure.
"This is only a nightmare," mumbled Seiya. "When we wake up, there'll be no problem with this house."
"This is not nightmare, Seiya, this is real, we have to get out of this house soon!" replied Shun.
Ikki messed up his hair in frustration. "Why the hell Saori-san didn't prevent whoever it is to buy his mansion?!"
"She must have reasons," said Shiryu. "The things we have to think now is where we'll go after leaving this house. After finding perfect place to dwell in, we'll try to contact Miss Saori and ask her about this house's future."
"I have no where else except Siberia," sighed Hyoga. "Maybe I'll return to live in my Sensei's hut. Right, Camus?" he turned his head to Camus to see his reaction. But Camus was so silent, seemed thinking very hard about something. O wow…it wasn't only Camus—the other Goldies were doing the same way—most of them couldn't even made the slightest move.
"Hello?" asked Ikki after minutes. He swung his hand in front of Mu's face. Mu blinked.
"Why're you so stricken? You guys can come back to Sanctuary, can't you?" asked Shun.
"I don't want to get back to Sanctuary!" growled Deathmask finally. "Coz there's only ONE bathtub there! In Shion's temple! And it's always occupied by Saga!"
The Bronzies fell down. "Bathtub…?"
"Who said that?!" snarled Saga. "I've never occupied Shion's bathtub post-Hades battle!"
"Then why Shion always finds a towel embroidered with your name in his bathroom?!"
Saga's eyes turned wild. He then turned his head and glared at Kanon. "KANON! It was you who occupied Shion's bathroom and left a towel with my name in it, weren't you?! You tried to lure everybody in order they believe it is me who used the bathroom!"
Kanon, the one who was the most thoughtful at that time, got baffled. "I…I wasn't!"
"You are! Because in the name of the whole shower kits sold in every department store in the world, I will NEVER crazy enough to embroider my towel with my name!"
"Fine, I admit I occupied the bathroom sometimes—"
"SOMETIMES?!" Deathmask gave kill-look to Kanon.
"Ok…twice a day…," mumbled Kanon. "But the towel things isn't my idea—it was Aiolia who suggested me to embroider my towel with your name, Saga!"
"WHAT?!" Aiolos yelled. He and Saga now glared at Aiolia, who blinked. "Tell me it isn't true, Aiolia!" snarled Aiolos.
Aiolia coughed. "Ummm…," he mumbled. "It isn't true…"
"LIAR!" barked Saga and Aiolos at once.
"Ok, ok…I admit it was my fault!" growled Aiolia. "I suggested Kanon to do that! But the one who embroidered Kanon's towel wasn't me, it was Milo!"
Milo blinked.
"Yeah, he did it!" said Aiolia with exaggerate excitement. "He embroidered the towel by using his Scarlet Needles!"
"MILOOOOO!!!!" shouted Saga.
"Wh…I had no choice!" yelled Milo. "Kanon threatened to decorate my bedroom with Aphrodite's dreadful curtains if I didn't do his request!"
"HOW DARE YOU SAY MY CURTAINS ARE DREADFUL??!!" screamed Aphrodite. "THERE'S MY PHOTOGRAPH ON THAT CURTAINS!"
"Sorry," mumbled Milo. "K, forget about the towels and the curtains—"
"I WON'T EVER FORGIVE ANYONE WHO TEASED MY CURTAINS!"
"You have to buy new towels, Kanon!"
"Whatever the reason is I don't want to go back to Sanctuary!"
"No bathtub!"
"This is your fault, Aiolia, if only you didn't ask me to embroider Kanon's towel!"
"Don't blame me, Milo, who had any obsession to take a bath in the troublesome bathroom?!"
"Bla…bla…bla…"
Now the common room turned to be so noisy. The Goldies started to blame and shout to each other, except Camus, Aldebaran, Shaka, Mu, and Shura. The first four were indeed more mature than the others (except Aiolos…Aiolos sometimes could turn odd if his brother did certain silly things…), but Shura didn't join the "kindergarten-phenomena" more because he was bored in replying his fellows' shouts. He preferred yawning to facing his friends stupidities.
"As usual they always act worse than playgroup students," growled Ikki.
"Don't give any damn with them," grumbled Seiya. "Now, we'd better move to my dock house. Until we have the ideas about how we get Kido's mansion back, we'll live together there."
"Deal," said Shiryu. "What about you, Hyoga, you won't move to Siberia, will you?"
"Ummm," Hyoga glanced at his master. "Yeah…I think I'll stay in the dock house. He'll move to Sanctuary anyway."
Meanwhile the much older lads were still arguing about unimportant things.
"It's not about the towels, it's about the bathtub! I love staying in Kido's mansion because there are lots of bathtubs here!"
"I'd never thought my brother Aiolia could do such embarrassing thing!"
"I WON'T GIVE YOU MY APOLOGIZE, KANON, YOU'VE BROKEN MY REPUTATION WITH THAT STUPID TOWELS!"
Aldebaran sighed. He stood up, trying to neutralize the situation. "Hey, Guys…"
Nobody cared of Aldebaran. Pitying Aldebaran, Shura and Mu stood up as well. "You bunch of craps, would you stop talking about those nonsense?!" snarled Shura. But again, nobody listened to him. The noises got louder and louder, till Shaka couldn't take it anymore and punched the table until it was broken into pieces. "YOU SON OF A ^*&*%*^(! WOULD YOU JUST LISTEN TO SHURA, MU, AND ALDEBARAN AND STOP YOUR UNWORTHY YELLS AND SHOUTS?!" Shaka's voice thundered.
Everybody directly turned silent.
The common room was very still post-Shaka's scream.
"Good," said Shaka after 10 minutes. His voice returned to its calm tone and he sat in dignity with his legs crossed. "Camus, would you please bring me a glass of mineral water? My throat always gets collapsed after yelling too loud."
Camus rolled his eyes, but he kept doing Shaka's request. He didn't want to take any risk Shaka would give his phenomenal screams again.
"Fine then," sighed Mu. He faced all of his fellows, who were still shocked upon Shaka's swearword. "Like it or not, we have to return to Sanctuary."
There were multiple groans.
"We have no choice, fellows," said Aldebaran. "Sanctuary is the only place we can dwell in."
"Aldebaran," said Deathmask in a very loud voice. "There's only ONE bathtub in Sanctuary."
"So what?" groaned Shura. "Let's take a bath together in Shion's bathroom then, maybe it'll help us to understand each other's personality more."
There was a chuckle. It came from the dining-room. All turned their heads, and they saw miracle there: Camus was chuckling on Shura's words.
"You're laughing!" Milo beamed, his eyes were sparkling.
Apparently Camus was just aware that he was laughing, so he directly turned cold as usual after hearing Milo's voice.
"Hello?!" Hyoga was talking on his cell-phone. "Hello, Freya, it's me, Hyoga. My teacher was laughing some seconds ago—"
"Hyoga!" snarled Camus, replied by everyone's laughters. "Why you always call Freya when I'm laughing?!"
"She asked me to inform her everytime you laugh," grinned Hyoga.
The hilarious moment took place for some times, until Mu returned to his previous topic.
"Ok, fellows…we will head to Sanctuary tomorrow," said Mu. "We will ask for Master Shion's and Dohko's advice. I am sure they can contact Miss Saori and ask about anything dealing with this mansion."
Some of the Goldies were still mumbling irritably, but finally they agreed. Soon, one by one, they went to their rooms to pack their clothes.
"So five of you will live in Seiya's dock house?" asked Aldebaran as he approached the Bronze Saints.
"Yup," answered Shun. "Better we stay in Japan to keep an eye on Miss Saori's house."
"Yeah, I think that's a very good idea."
Xxx
The Goldies headed to Sanctuary the next day. It was so difficult for all of them, especially Saga and Aiolos, to leave the mansion. But soon Mu reminded them that Shion would certainly be able to solve this problem, so they were a little bit encouraged.
Nevertheless, the situation wasn't as simple as they'd thought.
When twelve of them had just passed Aries temple to head to the Papacy, they saw Shion and Dohko walked down bringing suitcases. Shion wore his usual pope suits, while Dohko wore similar clothes as Shiryu's. Their faces were gloomy.
"Master?" asked Mu in confusion. "Where are you going?"
"Leaving this temple," growled Shion.
"B…but why?" asked Saga. "We're just aiming to move here—Kido's mansion was sold out; why on earth you both decided to leave this place?"
"Nobody will stay here," said Dohko.
"Meaning what?"
"Meaning," said Shion after taking a very deep breath. "Sanctuary is no longer ours now!"
Everybody was baffled.
"What?"
"Yes," replied Shion. "Someone has brought Sanctuary as well. The owner of Sanctuary now is the same person who's bought Kido's wealths."
"WHAT?!"
"In short," Shion sighed. "We can't stay in either Kido's mansion or Sanctuary. I repeat: Sanctuary is not ours anymore.
Next in Home Sweet Home:
Sanctuary isn't the Goldies's anymore! Where'll they live then??
"I think I'll follow Dohko to Rozan," said Shion.
"I want to come back to my country," mumbled Aphrodite.
"Somebody has to stay in Greece, nevertheless," said Aiolos.
"For me house is not important," said Shaka.
Sweatdrops…
There will be "kindergarten-effect" as usual…
"You really like an iron, Saga! Pacing up and down like that!"
And of course…
"I know you don't need it," said Milo. "But at least a part of me will accompany you there."
Camus finally gave his rare smile.
…friendship.
