"Milo!!" a roar could be heard from a far that made the pillar on Pope's temple to shake violently. Now who could have shouted that loud? Uh huh, Deathmask? No think again. The young Capricorn saint stomped his feet in anger as he tried to spot the young kid. Pausing from his book, inside one of Pope's living room, the young Gemini Saint, Saga slowly raised his head, frowning as he mumbled to him self. Twitching his eyes, he finally let out a sigh and rose from his comfy blue sofa.

"Now… what did Milo do?" he let out another sigh as he tossed his book to the sofa and walked to the door. As soon as he pulled the door open, a blue hair boy darted inside, grabbing on his brown pant and hiding behind his legs. Once in a while he looked at hall direction, afraid of someone who chased him before. Saga looked at him then to the hall where he finally spotted someone… which was Shura who stormed toward his direction.

When the young Capricorn finally came into view, one of the twins saint almost popped his eyes out and let out a gasp. Second after it registered to his brain, he coughed a little, hoping to suppress his urge to laugh that might get thing nowhere but worse. He didn't realize that Milo at his young ages of four could be that creative or brave.

"I see." He paused, looking at his angry friend before he continued "So that why, you are storming like a mad mountain goat." He began eyeing his dark hair friend in amused though not really dare to laugh. Glaring at the young Gemini saint, he finally shifted his eyes to the kid behind his friend's leg.

"That's it, Milo!! This time you are so- so--- punish!!!" he yelled again, pointing his finger to the boy, his eyes seem to be fill by flame, that might scared the lion away. Saga glanced his look back and forward between the furious young saint to the frightened kid before he finally moved a step forward his friend.

"Ahem, you know, Shura. No need to be so angry." He stared at Capricorn saint in amused before continue "you could always wash your face, the make up not water proof, right?"

"Grr!!! What do you think of my blood red nail then, Mr. Saga!" he said as he glared to the kid and raised his hand just enough to be seen.

"Good color actually…" he began to smirk, unconsciously; Saga moved his hand to touch the beautiful red dot pattern ribbon attached on Shura's black hair. "The ribbon was high quality, I see. So Milo, where did you get it?" he shifted his eyes to the kid which was quite calm by now and grinned nervously.

"SAGA!!!!"

'Uh oh he about to explode' hearing his name, he let out another sigh. "I know, Shura, my friend. But before that, you should calm down. Careful, your blood pressure." He pat Shura's hand a little then turn around to face the kid, kneeing to maintain his eyes the same level as the child. His looks turned into serious, while Milo avoided looking at him. He switched his weight from one to another leg nervously, unconsciously rubbing his hand. Moments past in silent before Saga finally opened his mouth. "Milo." He said softly as his hand moved to Milo's chin. "Look at me." He continued while moving his hand to lift the future Scorpio saints' face up and met his gaze. Behind him, Shura crossed his hands while taping his foot in annoyed several times.

"Milo, answer me, why are you put make up on Shura's face?" the small one glanced at Shura's face, hesitated; his blue eyes finally met Saga's.

"I… um I saw Aphro nii-san (older brother) put some of that thing on his face."

"Oh, then?"

"Um… then he said that putting it make him looked attractive."

"Ah, so you put it on Shura's face?" a nod "to make him looks attractive?" he couldn't stand but let a soft chuckle. Another nod. Shura let out a groan but his eyes seem soften a little. "Well, promise me, that you wouldn't do anything like this again, would you?" the kid gazed at Shura then back to his babysitter again.

"Why?" he asked in confusion "won't you happy when you look attractive?" 'Hem… how will I answer this one?' Saga raised one of his eyebrow, his inner thought almost shout bout being too girly. Shura's anger finally vanished, replaced with an amused grin on his face, forgetting how his looks with make up and a ribbon on his hair.

"Cough, only some of us like to put that thing, many realized that we don't really need it." Another question seemed to rise on Milo's head but before he could say it, Saga cut it with a question. "And do you like Shura when he put thing on his face like that?" he peeked over his shoulder, looking at his friend almost clown face. Carefully, Milo inspected him for a while before he shook his head.

"No. I don't think I like Shura nii-san to look like that." A paused "though, it's quite fun to draw it." Blushed a little, Milo grinned nervously, which made Shura to glare and Saga to chuckle.

"All right kiddo, apologize." He said as he pushed the youngster forward while he stood up facing his friend and smile. Hesitated, Milo looked at him before he finally extended his hand and give him a hug. "I'm sorry, Shura nii-san, can you forgive me?" he said with his best puppy eyes. A sigh. The dark hair saint finally moved his hand to pat the child.

"All right, but next time, if you do something like this." He trailed while glaring at the kid.

"Won't do it again. Promise." He beamed as he let go the leg while Shura rolled his eyes. He finally walked away to wash his face. After he was out of hearing range, Saga closed the door then faced the child. He chuckle a little as he pat the blue hair boy.

"You shouldn't throw yourself into tiger mouth, Milo."

"Tiger?" tilting his head a little and blinking cutely only made Saga to let out another chuckle. "What tiger?" Saga shook his head while he finally carried the little one up.

"Never mind, look at the clock, your nap time."

"Eh!! But I don't want to!" he protested but cuddle closer to Saga's chest.

"You have to." He said sternly, ready to open the door but stopped

"Can I sleep here?"

"…" Saga looked at Milo's blue eyes then to his unfinished book back to Milo's, his eyes soften. "Very well." Moving toward the sofa, still with Milo on his embrace; he tried to find the more comfort position before he finally settled in. Slowly he's rocking the future Scorpio saint to sleep, humming the lullaby he remembered from his childhood memory, when Master Shion embraced him and rocking him to sleep.

Not far from the window, Shion could be seen smiling at the scene in front of his. A tug on his robe snapped him up, finding his future Aries saint beside him. Smiling, he embraced the lavender hair kid. "Yes?"

"I'm sleepy father Shion." Mu said while cuddle closer to Shion. The father started to rub his back softly, singing the lullaby that someday might be past down to other.

Several days later…

Saga was chatting with his brother Canon in the same living room as before while Shura was quietly drinking his chocolate milk. Milo and Camus could be spot sitting down on the red carpet in the center of the room, silently tried to finish their puzzle before a roar could be heard from a far.

"SHAKA!!!!!" this time it was Deathmask all right. Saga and Canon looked at each other while Shura let out a groan.

"Think you better save him before Deathmask kills our Virgo kid, Shura." He said finally between chuckles which made Shura to frown in frustration. They never thought that being a baby sitter would be so troublesome. The black hair saint finally stood up and quickly storm outside to rescue his baby.
