This is my second Saint Seiya story with the main pairing being Kanon/ Rhadamanthys.
I would like to point out for those who know their myths, the Sarpedon featured in this fanfic is the son of Poseidon who was a really nasty villian so this story comes rated for his perversions (don't worry nothing too bad).
As far as I am aware Sarpedon himself has not appeared in the manga or fanfic therefore this take on the character is mine and obviously the plot. This will be shorter than Something Amiss and may have a sequel depending on if people like it (and if possible review).
As stated rated for mature content.
Finding you Chapter 1
Three handsome young saints, two gold blunets and one bronze emeraldet lay side by side dreaming peacefully on the white sands of a small atol. The gentle azure sea lapped against the scrap of land mere inches from their feet.
As the sun rose higher over the horizon the emeraldet flinched under it's unwelcome glare. Looking around his sleep haze evaporated into sheer panic. To his right lay Milo the Scorpio Saint with a small content smile tugging his lips. To his left lay Kanon, the second Gemini saint who after a shiver shuffled closer to Shun for warmth. Worse still none of them had their cloths.
"Guys!" Shun grabbed a shoulder in each hand and shook them for all he was worth. "Come guys wake up! We've got a serious problem!"
"Don't wanna." Milo muttered rolling onto his front. "It's too early to get up Cammie."
"I am not Camus!" Shun shrilled glancing around the unfamiliar place they had found themselves in. Nearby the sandy scraps of land were bigger and supported tall palm trees however the water between them appeared abnormally deep.
"Chill Shun. It's far too early for this crap." Kanon whined snuggling closer.
"Guys. I don't think we're in Greece anymore."
"WHAT?" The blunets sat up looking around like headless chickens unitl the scenery confirmed Shun's assessment. They all knew coconut trees do not grow in or even near Greece. The sand bar/ atol they had found themselves on was barely as big as half the fighting arena of the colosseum in Santcuary.
Kanon, being the eldest present, decided to break the panicked silence. "Okay. The last thing I remeber is us all bumping into each other near the dried up old well. Either of you remeber anything that happened after that?"
Milo and Shun shook their heads.
"Me neither. Does anyone hurt in unusal places?"
The pair vigorously shook their heads.
"Good. We're all okay. Now this is one of two things. One, someone pranked us big time. Probably Seiya and my dear twin Saga."
After a moment of silence Milo prodded. "Two?"
"I'm praying for number one."
Milo brightened. "What have we got to worry about? Kanon can get us home in an instant right Kanon. It's not like your powers aren't working." Milo's confident grin faded as Kanon's frown deepened. "Right?"
"No Milo my powers are not working. I can't burn my cosmos."
Shun's eyes widened. "I've been trying to summon a small nebula chain to warn us of enemies. I can't."
Milo glared at his index finger so hard the others thought it might burst into flame. "My scarlet neddle won't form."
"Alright! Nobody panic! We can kick ass without our powers and cloths. We are Saints after all." Kanon could not keep the fear out of his voice entirely. "We've just got to hope that certain seafarers don't-"
Milo's blue eyes narrowed. "What sort of seafarers are we talking about here?"
"The divine, deprived and desperate kind." Kanon shuddered scaring his two companions. Very little scared Kanon and if this whoever it is could they knew they should worry. "Our first and only priority is get back to Sanctuary safely and very quickly."
Shun snapped his fingers. "Don't worry. Ikki will have missed me by now, Saga will be worried about you and Camus will be concerned as to Milo's whereabouts. We just have to figure out a way for them to find us."
"Shun." Milo grasped his shoulder. "Ikki left with Aiolia and Marin to go on some training mission yesterday."
"Oh yes... I remember seeing him off." Shun's expression plumeted but rose just as quickly. "We still have Saga, Camus and the others."
"Camus would notice," Milo held his head in his hands. "but would probably think of it as an impovement. We sorta, kinda had an arguement."
"Yep." Kanon agreed. "I was visiting Saga at the Pope's mansion when it happened, you were in the aquarius temple and Saga was convinced you were right outside the study window."
"I don't even know what it was all over and things awful things were said." Milo sniffed urging himself not to cry.
Shun put a suppotive arm around the scorpio's shoulders. "Don't worry. We'll find a way out of this. You'll see."
"We can't count on Saga, he's stupidly busy with Pope stuff."
"That can't be good." Shun whispered gazing at the sea. "Hey Kanon what can make calm waters foam?"
"Uh-Oh!" Kanon stood yanking the others up and pulling the from the shore line. "We have to keep to the center of this place or he'll catch us."
" 'He'?" The others asked while doing as they were told.
"Don't let him lay even the tip of a tentacle on either of you. He'll pull you in and believe me you don't want that." Once in the center the younger saints looked up at Kanon unable to ask the question vocally. Reading their expressions Kanon decided to elaborate. "I met the freak in Atlantis. He's part octopus or squid from thigh downwards. I have never wanted to find out which he is. Never wanted to get close enough to find the distinction between the two."
"So underwater pervert with multiple tenatcles?" Shun paled as one thigh thick bumpy red tentacle broke the water's surface and wriggled in the free air.
All three yelped as the limb landed on the sand and began groping blindly inspecting the sand where they had been with extreme curiosity it was soon joined by three others all playing in the sand. Until some unseen cue had them crawling up the shore spreading out like a net towards them. To the Saints' immense relief the arms were not long enough to come within three feet of them.
"This is bad." Shun gasped trapped between the two larger saints, horrified by the number of toothed suckers on each tentacle's underside. "Kanon? Any ideas? Can we reason with this creature?"
"No. No and we do not barter, bargain or trade with him. None of us got it! It doesn't matter what he threatens to do we are all going home."
"Hey they're retreating." Milo was about to let go as the others caught hold of him.
"Don't Milo the danger hasn't passed."
"Shun's right Milo. He's a crafty bastard." Kanon whispered. "He's trying to lull us nto a false sense of security."
"Okay. Stay stuck together. I get it." Milo resumed his hold. "Now it's safe to say this is the guy responsible for our being here."
"Yes." Kanon scanned the sea for signs of the main body.
"What does he want with us?" Shun asked.
Kanon twisted to look behind them. "There's no easy way to say this. We are all very pretty, he likes pretty and likes to keep pretty things to play with."
Milo groaned. "Kanon I have to know. While you were going through your badass moron phase in Atlantis did you ever give this guy the tiniest of hints that he had a chance with you?"
"NO!"
Laughter erupted all around them from the water followed by a deep man's voice. "He speaks the truth. He constantly rejected my adavances in Atlantis and when I tried to force the issue he fought me off alone. Such beauty has to be broken in and possessed by a good master. The fact that my beauty swims with other great beauties is a happy coincidence. It was practically snatch one get two free. The greatest bargain I have ever indulged in."
