Saori Sama no Valentine
Tomorrow, it would be another Valentine day, the day when the girl put all her hearth into a sweet called chocolate; but it was also the day when boy dreaded of, at least for unpopular guy. The problem on Valentine day in Kido mansion was it usually went unnoticed. Who cared about chocolate when it had more important thing to do like saving the planet, plus with so many guy who trained as saint since they were a child, the Valentine day was just like another day of training, sweat, hard work and cosmos. But it changed this year, as Saori a.k.a Athena was calling her female saints into her huge room.
Upon entering her sleeping chamber, the Amazonian were kneeing before her which soon to meet with an annoying stare, while the only non-saint in the room looked around in uncertainly. The goddess sighed slightly before she raised her hand and gestured them to stand up.
"Do you need anything, my Goddess?" The green hair silver saint was the first one to speak before she was hussed by the youngest lady; a frown line was visible on her face.
"Shaina, drop the formality, please." The thirteen years old said, how many times did she have to mention to all her surviving saints that they were also her friends too? They didn't need such formality more over when they all were living under the same roof? She sighed, the problem with the Amazonian were they looked up at her as their superior not friend. True, the god cloth saints were treating her like a friend; some was even quite rebellious too, but she was itching to be accepted as friend more by her female saints; even Shunrei was quite awkward around her.
"I asked you to come today because of something special." She said finally after some long uncomfortable paused, beaming slightly. She really hoped this special day could put all her saint in celebration spirit and maybe having some fun too. "Tomorrow is a Valentine day!" she said excitedly
"Oh." The girls chorused before looked at her in confused. A paused… (Note this: the Amazonian face was already uncovered with mask and their beautiful face was for all to be seen.)
"And?" June said, the other clearly was not very interested or not acknowledged the tradition. A groan escaped her purple lips as she muttered
"It's mean chocolate times for boys."
"Chocolate?" Marin finally able to chip in although it was clearly she was quite confused. What the relationship between the dead of Saint Valentine with a chocolate?
"Nowadays Valentine day is celebrated with giving present to a love one, it could be family or friend or well, couple." Shunrei shyly said; her face was redder when she realized that she became the center of attention.
"Yes! And particularly in Japan, it's mostly about girl giving the boy she loved, a chocolate." Athena said animatedly, Shaina and June's eyes seem to wince when they heard the word 'love', while Marin gave her a blank stare.
Saint
Seiya
Great… the one I love? Shaina cursed under her breath, the image of a man came to her mind, and no, it was not Seiya. It was been a long time ago since she overcame the crush. Her eyes were on somebody which was quite different from that youngster, although sometime she found out her recent crush was also childish…
"So…" she heard Athena's voice as the knowledge Goddess clapped her hands. "I suggest we make chocolate cakes and gave it the boys." The sentence was followed with a relief sigh from the other. She was thinking too much, there was no way Saori at her age knew something about love or couple…
"And every one of you should also prepare 1 special chocolate present to the special boy you like." Or… she might have underestimated her goddess… great...
Happy
Valentine
"But..." Marin was definitely not feeling good about this thing, no, not good, actually she felt as if she was going into another war. Everybody stared at her as she continued. "But… I… we never bake a cake…" true to be told, being an Amazonian, they never enjoyed some girly activity like baking a cake or afternoon tea, dress like a grownup session or well mostly girly stuff. A paused
"I make some steam cake before… but never bake." Shunrei said hesitated
"… I make soup…" June added
"… Poisonous drink and antidote…" Shaina muttered which made everyone in the room sweatdrop, on why the snake cloth wearer made poisonous drink would be remain a secret.
"What's so difficult about baking cake anyway?" said the purple hair girl as she stormed into her bookshelf and rampaging her um… recipe book? Finally after several 'thump and thump', she emerged with easy chocolate cake and cookie recipe on her hand.
"Now." she paused as she looked page after page, the other was peeking at it curiously. "We need the cocoa, flour, egg, butter, baking soda, sugar, and wait… salt?" she said in confused.
"Chocolate cake has salt in it?" unison paused as they looked at each other. Saori was blinking cutely then turned to another page. "Ok." She began again as she read it out loud. "We need cocoa, all purpose flour, butter, baking soda, sugar, and … vinegar?!"
"………………."
"………………….."
"…………………………"
"………………………………"
"… I think we should try the 1st one?" the Goddess said as the other nodded in agreement. And went they were to the kitchen.
Saint
Seiya
The sight when the female group entered the kitchen was unexpected when they found, not one but 5 gold saints packed in the kitchen with apron. Well, it was only two guys in apron; the third one was quietly sipping a glass of wine, the forth one was sitting on the windowsill and the last one was juggling 3 cookie cutters.
"What's making our ladies come to the kitchen?" grinning slightly, Milo looked at the group without stopping his juggling game. Camus nodded his head to acknowledge the ladies before he took one of the 'juggling balls' away from his best friend. 'Hey!' was the only reaction from the Scorpio before he saw a slightly mischievous look on his dark blue eyes friend. Shaka moved his head slightly without moving from his windowsill. The other two were stopping their activity when they finally turned over, one of them was winking.
"Heh, I don't know you can bake, Mu." Was the first word came from Shaina mouth which made the Aries blushed slightly.
"… Well… Kiki want some cookies." He said while Milo successfully took back the cutter without so much force, Camus could be quite mischief sometime...
"And why are you ladies doing in the kitchen?" Aphrodite said as he retrieved a baking pan from the oven. Fresh cookies scent filled the air.
"We want to make something." Athena said as she walked toward the Pisces, staring at the definitely delicious cookies. "Now could you boys walk out?"
"Now?" Shaka who was muted finally opened his mouth.
"But? We still have to cool this down."
"You can cool that down outside the kitchen, right?" June said uncertainly.
"Um… true…" Mu said ready to take the cookies out before he heard a shriek.
Happy
Valentine
Shaina couldn't help but to smear his face with white powder. He was so tease-able and with that handsome face and a bad boy's grin added up, the green hair saint couldn't help but 'flirted' with him. Wait, did she just say flirt? The Scorpio saint did shout a little, his face was slightly covered with flour.
Now why did she do that? He asked himself as he wiped the flour on his face. Some people were chuckling slightly as he looked at them with a glint in his eyes. He quickly took some flour and patted it to Camus' face. Now there was no one braved enough to offend the ice master (except Milo obviously) everyone was holding their breath as the turquoise saint glared to Milo. Either Camus was drunk, he seemed to be out of character today as he grabbed a handful of flour and threw it back toward the already running friend. The white powder was sailing into Shaka's face. Mu quickly took the baking pan from Aphrodite before scrambled outside, he couldn't risk his finished cookies ruin because of some childish war, could he?
'Uh-oh' was the word on everyone mind as Aphrodite tiptoed outside, followed by Milo and Camus. Shaka was shaking his head as effort to rub off the white powder. He finally stood up, took the bag of flour and strolled confidently outside. "Excuse me, ladies." He said as he walked pass through the door and broke into run, chasing. "Camus!" a yell of him was heard on the background.
The girls finally able to let out a giggle as the boys left. "Oh, my gosh. They are sometimes unpredictable!" Marin said between her laugh, she never saw the childish side on gold saints before.
"Boys!" June said between chuckles while Athena grinned slightly. She actually knew her gold saints were quite antic sometime. Who had thought that Shaka was somehow foxy, Milo was obviously have that bad boy charm. Mu and Camus were definitely got influent from both of them. In fact, living with the gold saints was more entertaining. Now back to the cake!
Saint
Seiya
They were finally able to bake an edible chocolate cake after several tries. The first one was salty enough to put someone into high blood pressure mode. The second one was undercook as they put the cake on the upper level of the stove. The third one was overcook and looked like a coal. The forth one was too bitter, it seem they put too much cocoa inside with no sugar, the fifth one was too sweet and might threw someone into hyper mode but the last one was ok and edible to eat.
"Sigh, finally." She said wiping her sweat on her forehead, she would never ever baked again, the blonde hair saint was able to murmur under her breath
"See, it is not that hard!" Athena chipped in, proud of her last effort and ignoring the pile of fail experience. "Now we can bake more of this."
"Yes… finally it's over…" Marin said as she released a relief sigh.
"Not over yet!" the youngest girl said before she added. "We still have to make the special chocolate present!" unison groan…
Happy
Valentine
"What the matter? Why does Athena want us to gather in the dining room?"
"Who knows…" Shion said as he walked toward his chair, his longest comrade on the side. Everybody seemed to sit on the dining room chair and waiting. It was quite some time before Saori came with a smile on her face.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen." She said which was replied with the same greet. "You all know what day today?" unison paused.
"Um… Saturday?" Shura said when the girl face turned into a frown.
"No, no, the date."
"14th?" Seiya said as he raised his eyes brown in confused.
"…" a sigh "Yes… it Saturday and it's 14th… look at the month." She said trying to be patient.
"February? Why so important about that?" Deathmask said in annoyed, if she wanted to begin a quiz game, she should be doing more difficult question… Saori almost banged her head to the table but that would be out of character, wouldn't it?
"Its Valentine day!" she finally able to say without pulling out her hair, that would be demolishing her beautiful hair. A paused before a chorus of 'oh' came out.
"Is that mean chocolate?" Shun said with twinkle on his eyes. He almost forgot about the day, but when he was a child, he remembered slightly that grandpa Kido told him about the tradition of Valentine day in Japan.
"Chocolate? I thought it is about giving present to the love one?" Milo said
"I thought it is about the death of Saint Valentine…" Hyoga murmured
"Present? You mean about changing present under decorated pine tree?
"… That is Christmas, Aiolos." Saga said
"I know some celebration when they give some chocolate egg though…"
"That's Easter, Aiolia." Kanon rolled his eyes. Oh, did she have to tell them about the tradition again?
Saint
Seiya
After several explanations, the girls finally took out the chocolate cake and everybody seemed to enjoy the festive. Finally the boys were out to do their thing again, and the girls gathered on the dining room, chuckling excitedly.
"See? They seem to enjoy it." Saori said as she took out her special present. "I have to find my special boy then." She added as she walked away to find her special man. A paused as all of them walked out in silent. Some of them weren't quite sure, who's they special someone…
To be continue…
Note: find their special someone tomorrow or if I don't have time maybe on white day :p, it will depend on the review though ohohoho. I already give you one hint though...
