Chapter 1

Saori looked outside her window with an expression mixed with anticipation and uneasiness.

"Tatsumi, do you think I'm making a mistake?" Saori asked her trusted bodyguard.

"It may be hard at first, but it may work," he spoke using his words carefully, "They may not agree since we never know when there is a threat of danger."

"True, just because Hades is gone, it doesn't mean there won't be other possible danger," she said thoughtfully.

"You should not worry for now," Tatsumi tried to reassure her, "They are mature enough young adults. They will understand why you are doing what you need to do. If this is what you feel is right as Athena herself, then by Zeus, do it."

Saori smiled at Tatsumi, "Thank you. You always know what to say to make me feel better."

Saori looked out the window to see several different groups of male figures walking up the pathway to the mansion. She knew that some of them hadn't seen the mansion since either they were children or the previous Galaxy Wars. She also knew that for what she had in mind that the Bronze Saints wouldn't have much resistance since they had already spent several years of their childhood together. However, it would be the Gold and several Silver Saints that would create the possibility of a problem.

"Tatsumi, lead our guests into the formal dining room as they come. Alert me when they have all arrived."

"And what of the young missus? No one has seen her all day since she left this morning."

Saori sighed, "I am not sure what to do with her just yet. She is up to her old tricks again. Leave her to me. I will deal with her when she arrives."

Tatsumi bowed in understanding and went to attend his duties. As he opened the door, he was first greeted with the faces of Seiya and Shiryu. Several of the other saints were coming up behind them.

"Right this way," he gestured towards the formal dining room.

"What? No sarcastic remarks?" Seiya said as Tatsumi lead them without a comment.

Tatsumi's eye twitched, "Believe it or not, orphan, I can be agreeable in the best of situations."

Seiya stuck out his tongue at Tatsumi, while Shiryu chuckled under his breath. Even the dragon saint couldn't stand Tatsumi as they had begun their training in the mansion. As more and more Saints were arriving, they arranged themselves in rank of Bronze, Silver, and Gold. The Gold Saints were the most reluctant, seeing how they had to leave the Sanctuary for something that they felt was possibly trivial. Camus was the most annoyed.

When all that were invited had arrived, Tatsumi left to get Saori from her room, making sure she had all she needed. When she entered the formal dining room with Tatsumi behind her, all the Saints rose from their seats out of respect for her. When she sat, they sat.

"I'm glad you are all here," Saori started, "I'm very honored that all of you were able to attend this meeting. After some of the problems we have had in the past, including some of the problems from Saints of years past, I have noticed a common underlying cau-''

"Trying to solve problems that you shouldn't get yourself involved in again I see," spoke a voice from the doorway.

The Saints turned to see a girl probably the same age as Shun, the youngest of the Saints. She was short with black hair and purple eyes so dark they were almost black. They couldn't tell how long her hair was since it was in a bun piled on the top of her hair. Several strands that had escaped to frame her heart shaped face went a little past her chin. Several purple strands presented themselves throughout the bun.

She wore several piercings in each ear, a mixture of purple, black, and crosses dangling along with a hoop thorough her left eyebrow and right side of her bottom lip. A purple corset stood out from underneath a black fishnet long sleeve shirt. Ripped black jeans and combat boots completed her outfit. Everyone in the room could see bruises underneath layers of foundation and thick black eyeliner, the mesh shirt, and rips through the jeans.

"Elena," Saori said standing, worry and anger in her voice, "Where have you been?"

Elena appeared annoyed at the question and the tone of it, "Around. Don't worry; I didn't leave the country this time."

"You should have some respect for the woman who willing took you in when she didn't have to!" Tatsumi raised his voice in anger.

"Ooohh so scary Tatsumi," Elena mocked at him.

"By God, help me-"Tatsumi started but Elena cut him off.

"Oh please, you never laid a hand on me. You don't scare me."

Ikki felt a twinge go through his body, seeing how Tatsumi had beat him on more than occasion. Elena scanned the room at the Saints before turning on her heel to leave.

"Where do you think you're going?" Tatsumi yelled.

"Where I feel like it. I got people waiting for me." Elena scoffed.

The Saints watched and waited until she left the room before something was said.

"Who was that?" asked Shun. He couldn't help that she felt very familiar. There was just something about those eyes...

"That is my ward, Elena Murisaki," Saori explained, "Her mother used to be my nanny. She was killed in front of Elena on her fifth birthday. Grandfather took her in and made arrangements that if she was a minor when his time came, she would be under my care. I don't know what happened, but lately she has been very difficult to handle."

"Where is her father?" asked Seiya.

There was hesitation in Sari's voice that couldn't be masked, "I don't know anything about her father, and I doubt she knows anything either. In my earliest memories, there was no man in Kim Murisaki's life."

Around the table the Saints took in this information, each one curious about Elena Murisaki and who she really was. Saori took the rest of the time to explain to the Saints what she had planned to do. Saori felt that many of the problems between the saints were often caused by resentment and jealousy, sometimes even loneliness. In order to solve that, she encouraged that they spent time together and formed better relationships. The only time they were not to spend together would be if danger present.

It was clear on the faces of the Gold Saints that they did not agree with this. However, Saori was clever enough to word it as a command of Athena, one that any Saint would have to follow, and one that wouldn't have any form of a loophole. Saori concluded the meeting wordlessly. She nodded to Tatsumi.

"If you could all just follow me, I will show you where you will be staying during your time here," Tatsumi said.

The Saints rose and followed Tatsumi to their individual rooms. Saori had cleverly arranged it in the pattern of Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Many of the Saints remained in the hallway, catching up and challenging one another. Those who didn't really care such as the iceberg Camus went straight to their rooms. Shun was laughing at a joke Seiya had made towards Hyoga who was restraining himself not to kill his friend. He started looking around seeing who was sleeping where when he noticed the room across his. It was purple and black with Elena's name written in tasteful Japanese calligraphy surrounded by watercolor lilies. Shiryu caught him staring at the door.

"You felt it too, didn't you?" Shiryu asked him, "That you've also met her before?"

"Yes, I did," admitted Shun.

"Same here" spoke up Hyoga, "Those eyes felt familiar. After all, purple is not a common eye color."

"Do you think she was here at the mansion while we were?" asked Seiya, "She looks about our age."

Shun turned to his brother, who was speaking with Nachi, Ichi, and Geki, "Hey what do you guys think of Elena?"

Geki grinned his ginormous bearlike smile, "I like her, she's got spunk."

"Yeah did she feel familiar to any of you guys?" asked Shiryu.

"A bit yeah, but not much," admitted Nachi

"I wonder where she is…" Shun looked at her door and thought to himself. It was almost midnight when the rest of the Saints retired to their rooms. Saori checked the security cameras before she decided to turn in for the night. It was almost 2 in the morning, and Elena still wasn't home.
