Another side story about Shun's arrival in Andromeda Island ^^ You could get the hint of how it's going after you read the latest chapter of Saint Seiya: Holy war arc! Presented by Fantasy-Magician on stage! XDDD

ps: Once again... this is NOT yaoi so don't get any idea!

A little misunderstanding that could fry your brain~

Daidalos was walking to Andromeda Island's anchorage, the only rock pier where ship could harbor safely. June was with him to welcome the new boy; luckily her master couldn't see what kind of face she made underneath her mask. June was not really ecstatic with the idea of newcomer in their beloved training ground. Her master was always welcomed new disciple, because for him more people meant merrier, even in their hellish island. Spica and Leda didn't really care as usual, boys…

It was not like she disliked the idea of having a new friend, especially one from unusual foreign country on their rank; it meant new culture to mix in their pack. The only Japanese saint she knew was Aquila Marin, and June really liked her. For June, Marin was always her role model as an amazon, unlike certain Ophiuchus saint. Beside the last time Japanese entered their rank before Marin was four centuries ago, at least saints that written on their record whose name were Shijima and Izo. It was well known they were righteous and gallant gold saints, one of reason sanctuary didn't mind to take one hundred Japanese boys as trainees.

Back to why she was not really excited for their newcomer, it was simply because the new trainee was a boy. She really hoped for a female friend, someone who was gentle but strong like Marin. And she didn't need addition of boy like Leda and Spica, when they were not exactly nice what irked June in daily basis was their comment about girl. All the time they need to mention she was a girl in almost everything, despite of amazon had discarded their femininity to become a saint. That didn't stop Leda and Spica to point every trifle girly matter she had, June hoped this new boy at least know when to keep his mouth shut, unlike Leda and Spica.

When the boat approached slowly to the pier, Daidalos and Jun calmly stood waiting for the crew to come out. One of the crew June knew so well was Donald, and he was the one who hop off of the ship with a grin. "Hi Daidalos, June! Long time no see!" The man had tanned skin with ragged blue and white-stripped shirt and white khaki pants. His dark brown hair was curly and messy, between his teeth was a cigarette that was almost out.

Daidalos nodded, "Hello Donald, so how was the sail? Good?"

Donald laughed at that, "Nothing big… but on the way here the waves were quite wild!" He exclaimed, "The child you were waiting for is a bit seasick I think…" He added with a grin.

The silver saint's face turned worried, "Are you sure that…"

The sailor cut him in, "Easy Daidalos… the kid would be fine in no time!" He assured Daidalos, "By the way this kid is so polite! A very pleasant companion for me until… the waves shook the world ha ha ha!"

Daidalos shook his head; sometimes he couldn't understand Donald's sense of humor. "Anyway where is he Donald? I know you can't stay here for long, you have quite a tight schedule after all."

"Yeah you know… by the way are you sure you are waiting for a boy?" He asked curiously.

Daidalos and June can't help but raised an eyebrow at him, "Erm… at least letter from my superior stated I would get a male trainee, why do you ask?" Daidalos asked back feeling a bit suspicious for the weird question, he hoped Scorpio Milo was not up for another large-scale prank. The last time he pulled it Aquarius Camus almost froze entire Scorpio temple, fortunately Virgo Shaka managed to convince Camus to make the punishment a bit lighter. Nobody knew what Aquarius Camus did in the end, but Milo stopped his prank for one year after that. Everyone was too scared to find out even though they were so curious.

"Well… " He shrugged, "Maybe it's just me, why don't you see by yourself?" He said with a grin, "Mickey! Help that kid hopped off of the boat will ya?"

An OK came from the cabin, then not long after a man with similar outfit as Donald came out with a child holding his hand. Daidalos' eyes widened at the child Mickey helped to hop off of the boat, the child undoubtedly Japanese judging from the oriental look. The Japanese child had shoulder length green hair and eyes with the same color, pale white skin that looked even paler because of seasick. June and Daidalos gaped at their newcomer.

June didn't know if she supposed to cheer or dumbfounded, "Uhm… master, I though you said…"

"Err… I also don't know June…" He admitted with a sigh.

The Japanese child released the sailor's hand, struggling to shake off dizziness because of seasick. Green eyes locked to June and Daidalos, then he bowed deeply. "My name is Amamiya Shun, I am Japanese trainee who from now on will train here… nice to meet you." Shun said as smiling politely, "Uhm… you can call me Shun, thank you in advance for your guidance from now on…" He muttered nervously.

Daidalos never met such a polite child, so he was a bit taken back. The sailors shot him a look 'I told you' with a grin. "Uhm… you are welcome Shun, My name is Cepheus Daidalos… and you can call me master."

June decided she should be happy for a new friend, beside Shun seems so kind and polite too, "I am June! Nice to meet you Shun!" She said as taking Shun's hand, shaking it up and down.

Shun smiled at June, but then he looked curiously at June's mask. "Nice to meet you too June." He replied softly, "Uhm, why you wear a mask… um… if I may know…"

The future chameleon saint grinned beneath her mask, "Ah don't worry later I will tell you why, and beside… from now on you will have to wear one too!"

The Japanese boy blinked at her, he never heard that they had to wear mask. At least Tatsumi didn't say anything about mask, he didn't really mind wearing it though if they had to wear it to be a saint. "Oh…"

Daidalos sighed, "Well let's see if I have spare mask in my hut…" He muttered to no one, " Anyway… June, Shun… let's go see the others OK?" He said as turned to Shun and June then to Donald and Mickey, "Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it."

Donald grinned, "No problem Daidalos… anyway, you should go soon before your other brats start making a fuss because you are too long!"

The silver saint nodded, "Well… you said it."

Shun once again bowed to the sailors, "Thank you Sir, it's really a fun trip…"

"Glad to have you as my passenger too Shun! Make sure you will be a great saint like Daidalos heh!" Mickey said with crossed arm.

June took hold of Shun's hand urging him to follow her, "Off course Shun would be a great saint under master Daidalos, Mickey!" She huffed, "Now Shun! Let's go to our hut!"

"Okay…" Then before he knew it, June had dragged him down the path leaving Daidalos behind.

Daidalos sighed, he knew June was happy that at last she would have a female friend but he didn't expect her to be this happy. "Anyway… good bye my friends, see you later." He said as waved them a goodbye.

And after Daidalos was no longer on their field of vision the two sailors laughed out loud, holding their stomach. "You heard that Mickey?"

He nodded, "How long it will takes for Daidalos to notice heh? You really are genius, making fun of Daidalos like that!" Mickey muttered with a grin on his face, "But are you sure he won't be mad?"

Donald shook his head, "Nah… Daidalos is too serious, even his fellow saints said so! I don't think this little joke is harmful or anything!"

"Not harmful? This little joke as you put it might fry Daidalos' brats' brain!" He exclaimed between laugh.

He shrugged, "Nah… once in their lifetime especially as a saint they will face something like this at some point!"

"Just like when you try to hit on a transvestite that time?" Mickey asked with a grin. "You though he was a she!"

"Shut up!"

Ten minutes later…

Daidalos to be honest hoped they wouldn't run to Spica and Leda this fast, not before he got Shun a mask. But then again he was not really too concerned about amazon's rule about mask. He always though that rule was not really practical but they had to follow it anyway. At least Shun had not started yet so even if Leda and Spica…

June huffed, her arms crossed. "I know Shun is pretty but can you two please stop staring like that?"

Shun blushed, he knew he got that compliment a lot even though he didn't really like it. "Uhm… hello, my name is Shun. Nice to meet you!" He muttered softly as offering his hand.

Leda and Spica at once snapped out from their reverie them bumped at each other because they rushed to accept Shun's hand in the same time. "I am Leda! Nice to meet you too!" He said as he tried to push Spica aside, and Spica did the same.

"I am Spica! Nice to meet you… and…"

"Boys!" Daidalos warned, "You know our rules!"

They quickly turned to Daidalos, blushing deep red. "Yes master…" They chorused.

Daidalos sighed then turned to his new trainee, "Anyway Shun… wait here and I will be back soon with your mask."

Shun nodded, and then Daidalos walked away to his hut. Spica and Leda didn't waste time to start conversation once Daidalos was out of earshot. "Hey Shun! Uhm so… you are from Japan right?" Spica asked excitedly.

"Yes, I am…" He answered politely, "Do you know my country?" He asked back.

Spica grinned sheepishly, "Uhm not really… "

Leda raised his hand, "I know a little! The capital called Tokyo, and mount Fuji and also… pretty girl from Japan called Yamato Nade…. Nande…" He stammered in the end.

"You mean Yamato Nadeshiko?" Shun asked with a smile.

Leda beamed, "Ah that one!"

Shun chuckled softly as he corrected Leda's misunderstanding, "Yamato Nadeshiko in Japan is not exactly pretty girl." He stated loftily, "It's more like ideal girl for Japanese, uhm… I don't really know though but I am sure my brother said my mother was one…" He said proudly, "Kind and sweet… beautiful… well my brother told me that is why my mother is Yamato Nadeshiko!"

June was a bit jealous when she heard Shun had a brother, a kind one at that too! Unlike Spica and Leda who was always troublemakers, "Your brother is really nice to you…"

Shun nodded shyly, "Uhm yes… he is really a good brother for me." He muttered softly then quickly changed the topic because if they keep talking about Ikki Shun was sure he would cry again. "Anoo…" Shun closed his mouth shut, embarrassed that he accidentally slipped to Japanese. "Uhm I mean, Master Daidalos seems really nice." He commented shyly.

The three trainees nodded in agreement, "Well…" Spica began, "He is… even though our island is quite hellish at least we have a nice master!"

Leda chimed in, "Yep! You know, I heard some masters are really cruel to their trainee but master Daidalos is nothing like them!"

Shun was glad to hear that, he would make sure to do his best for master Daidalos. "Uhm by the way…" He trailed off looking at Leda's and Spica's face curiously in which turned the two boys to beet red, "You guys didn't wear mask? I though all trainees have to wear mask."

"Shun…" June chuckled softly, "Only us need to wear it…" She explained.

"Why?" Shun asked innocently, his doe green eyes looking at June intently.

June hugged the boy tightly, "Oh… you are so adorable!" She squealed. "So cuuute!"

When Shun blushed deep red, Leda and Spica yelled at June. "Not fair!"

"Back off pervert!" June sneered, if only she didn't wear mask they would see her sticking her tongue out. "Oh Shun you have no idea how long I wanted a friend like you!" A girl and an adorable one at that, they would have so much fun!

Shun blinked, wondering what June meant by that. Spica and Leda was her friend too right? "Uhm… I am also happy to be your friend." He replied shyly.

Spica and Leda cringed, "Shun… it's okay to be her friend but don't spend too much time with her, please? Spica pleaded.

Leda nodded in agreement, "Uh huh it would be terrible if she rub off on you! Especially her brashness… unlady like…" Leda and Spica's sentence was cut short when June delivered a nice kick on their shins, and how painful once the pain shot up from shin to their brain.

"Watch your mouth boys…" She warned dangerously, cracking her knuckles. "Say something like that again, next my kick will aim between your legs." She added.

Spica and Leda paled at that, "Well sorry! But a Yamato Nadeshiko like Shun shouldn't be a girl like you! Shun is fine as it is!"

June huffed, "Sorry if I am not Yamato whatever… I am Ethiopian and an Amazon! What did you expect?"

Shun blinked, "Uhm I am not a Yamato Nadeshiko…" He stated, wondering if Spica and Leda still didn't understand what Yamato Nadeshiko was, and only girl could be a Yamato Nadeshiko. "And I don't think June rubbed off on me is a bad thing, my friends always said I am too passive so I have to be more uhm… like June maybe?" Because June could defend herself, stronger than him! Like Ikki!

"Uhm NO no no!" Spica and Leda shook their head frantically, "You would be better of nothing alike with June!"

"Hey!" June yelled indignantly, "I warned you boys!" Leda and Spica backed away in fear.

But before June could lunge at them Daidalos came back from his hut with a mask on his hand. "What are you guys doing? Stop fighting!"

"Master!" Cried June, "Spica and Leda are so mean to me!" She whined.

Leda groaned, "Oh please, it's you who threatened to kick us in between our legs!"

June pretended she didn't hear it, looking away to random direction, "June…" Daidalos sighed, "Anyway Shun… here is your mask." He said as handed the mask to Shun.

Shun accepted the mask, looking at it's shiny surface curiously. "Uhm master Daidalos? May I ask… why June and me have to wear this but not Leda and Spica?"

Daidalos sighed, "Well Shun… let me explain about the rules of Amazon which already established since the age of myth."

Spica, Leda and June groaned, not another looooooong lecture!

"You see… woman is forbidden to enter the world of saint thus they have to cast away their femininity to be men's equal. The first step is… wearing a mask, to cover their face." He stated loftily, "You see… in general women as part of their femininity, their face is the very core of it… As a girl I am understand if you would want to have a beautiful face… to beautify it, an instinct all girls have Shun!" All of his students except Shun who was blinking were rolling their eyes, "Thus… to prevent Amazon from being distracted from their duty and also to prevent…" Daidalos trailed off.

June couldn't take it anymore, "Master Daidalos… can we make it short? You would just confuse Shun!" Said June with a sigh, "So Shun basically all girls who want to become a saint have to wear mask so they didn't have to be too concerned about any girly stuff especially their face!"

Shun's eyes widened, why he should wear one if only girls had to wear it? "Uhm but I am…"

Leda and Spica sniffed dramatically, wiping away their tears. "I am understand Shun… unlike June who have nothing too important to be covered…" Leda trailed off then continued by Spica, "Yes, we understand it's such a shame… your pretty face have to be covered by mask, but don't worry! Even with mask… we think you are still lovely! Nothing like June…"

"HEY!" June growled.

The Japanese boy was dumbfounded, "But… I don't… erm master if only girls have to wear mask why I have to wear one?" He asked Daidalos with pleading eyes, hoping it was not because what he had in mind, something that happened too often much to Shun's chagrin.

Silence…

Shun was looking at them with his doe pleading green eyes, demanding an answer. An adorable sight to behold if only they were not too dumbfounded at Shun's question, "Err Shun… girls have to wear mask when they want to be a saint, so… why you didn't have to?"

June nodded in agreement, "It's a bit stuffy at first, but you will get used to it!" She said dazedly, "Shun… as a girl we gotta face everything in our way to be a saint! We are not going to lose with these boys just because we girls have to wear mask."

The green haired Japanese blushed deep red; finally understand what was the problem. And once again Shun had to say one sentence he was sure he had lost count how many times he had said it. He took a deep breath, his eyes closed.

"But I am not a girl, I am a boy!"

Silence…

All jaw reunited with mother earth, Daidalos' eyes were bulging out of its sockets because of shock. "Shun…. You…" He stammered with red face, "You are a boy?" Spica and Leda turned to stone, and shattered to the ground became a pile of rocks with their cracked head on top of it. Did they just fawned over a BOY?

Shun looked down, his face blushed deep red. In the first day in Andromeda Island was already like this! "Yes master! I was born as a boy… I am my brother's little brother… and I am assure you all Japanese who become trainees this year are all boys including me!" He exclaimed, his hands rested on his chest

June was still in shock, "But… you even prettier than me! How you can be a boy?" She asked, her hands holding her cheeks in horror.

"Err… but I am really a boy!" He objected, his cheeks flushed in embarrassment. This was the most embarrassing he ever felt whenever people mistaken his gender. Then he turned to Daidalos, "So master… I don't have to wear mask! I am a boy!"

Daidalos was still dumbfounded and without a word he picked the Japanese boy up then ran to the nearest hut. The three trainees who recovered from their shock blinked when they found Daidalos and Shun were nowhere to be found. A while later they saw Shun and Daidalos came out of their hut, Shun was still blushing and Daidalos… he looked ready to faint any second.

And all the Cepheus saint could saint once they returned to the group was, "He is a boy…" he muttered absentmindedly. "He has what all of us man… has…"

June didn't know how to react to the fact a boy who was prettier and even gentler than her exist, Leda and Spica was out cold as standing. Shun approached them with worried face, inched his face closer to theirs. "Uhm are you alright Leda, Spica?"

At once the two trainees fell flat on their butt, flustered because of sudden approach. "We… fine!" They stammered in chorus, blushing deep red in embarrassment.

"Here… let me help you…" Shun said softly as offering his hand, waiting for his fellow trainee to grab his hand. They looked at him, mesmerized by his pretty face but then snapped out of the dangerous though, shaking their head frantically.

But Leda and Spica jumped to stand by themselves then marched to Daidalos with a cry. "Master! We beg you! Please let Shun wear that mask!"

"His face is not good for heart! Seriously!"

"Please master! We think we will fry our brain if we look at his face any longer!

"We beg you master!"

Daidalos raised his hand to his face; today was the most embarrassing day in his years as a saint. And he was almost sure he could hear his sailor friends now were laughing their ass off for this… they got him good this time. Damn those two! Thus Daidalos tried to calm his boys down from their shock, and also June who needed a little push to return back to her sense after the shock… and also… he needed a good apology speech written for Shun later, a nice and loooong apology… because Shun was still blushing and he looked ready to cry because of embarrassment, and his fellow trainee's begging didn't help his dignity as a man the slightest.

Oh boy…

Review please!

Omake, and in sanctuary as usual...

And in sanctuary a certain cancer saint was running with top speed down the stairs from Pisces and off course the Pisces saint was chasing him with a bouquet of roses. Something that happened every time DeathMAsk let his mouth loose around Aphrodite. And as usual the topic was always Aphrodite's gender bender confusion issue.

"I dare you to say that again to my face, you damn crab!"

"What the hell is your problem, whenever I am just speaking the truth!"

"Damn truth crabby!"

And this time a certain Pegasus saint followed them, right behind Aphrodite, "Dite! Stop! You can't kill Masky!" He babbled in panic, "And Masky! Why you can't keep your mouth shut?"

Hope you like it ^^

Sorry if Leda and Spica are... uhm... well...

June is OOC is on purpose! I want a girl like uhm... Tsunade from Naruto?
