Episode 2: Brotherhood.

"He was.. The first Saya's chevalier..." Blade said. "Are you sure? That can't be possible.." Kai said. "It makes sense! And it would be the perfect cover up for why I couldn't find him.." "Then.. Why didn't Solomon say anything to me?-" "He probably didn't know that you 'supposedly' killed Nathan.. Would you mind not whining about that at this moment?" Hajime said coldly, cutting Saya off.

"Hajime.." Fay hissed and Hajime got up, "Fine.. I'll step out.." Hajime said. "No wait... He might be right.. I mean.. How could dad of known what had happened after HE died as a well.. Chevalier? Did you tell him anything, mom?" Seiya asked as Hajime sat back down. Saya shook her head, "No.. Your both right.. I didn't tell him anything so for all he knew, I never killed Nathan..." Saya said, gloomly.

"Well... Maybe we're wrong... I mean.. We don't really knew anything about Diva's chevaliers.. We barely know anything about Solomon and he's now YOUR chevalier.. When he wakes up.. Just ask him what he knows about Nathan and if he knows about him and he confirms Nathan is Diva's Chevalier.. Then it's not him.. If he doesn't know anything.. It MIGHT be him... But one thing is for sure.. Solomon has to wake up." Kai said

. . . .

"I'm not sure when he'll wake up anytime soon.. From what you told me.. It seems like rushing the process to accept Saya's blood in order to take his chiropteran state just was too much for him.." Julia said, "It's not like I can rush his recovery.. By the way.. Kenneth told me you wanted to use the new Red Shield HQ ship?" Kai nodded, "Yes.. because we keep having to come back here like today and we're trying to find somebody that could defeat our new enemy Adverine.." he explained.

"Sigh.. Fine.. I'll let a few of my Residents come with you and I already know Kenneth would come too.." She took out her phone and started to dial a number, "You can leave tonight if you want and I'll make sure there's a medical room set up for Solomon." Julia said and then walked off to call someone on her phone.

Saya next to him sighed, "Well.. Looks like we can't do anything besides wait around til it's time to leave.." "Seems like it.." Kai grimaced as the two started to walk back to the rest of the gang. "Hey.. Saya?" Kai asked after a few moments. "Yes?" He took a deep breath, "Have you noticed that Fay has been acting a little.. Strange lately?" He asked.

Saya thought about it. When she had first met Fay and Rhi they were always together and very cheerful. Earlier today when they were eating lunch, she remembered Rhi and Seiya having a good time chatting while Fay barely spoke a word unless you directed a question at her. "Yeah...Now that I think about it.. What do you think is wrong?" she asked.

Kai shrugged, "Ever since Hajime and Blade disappeared and she went looking for them.. She's been acting weird and distant for some reason.." "Maybe.. Something happened on the roof before we got there.." Saya said. "Like what?" Saya shrugged, "It could of been anything really.." Kai looked down, "Great.." he mumbled.

"Don't be upset Kai! I'm sure it's fine-" "It's not.. I know it's not.. She's wearing the SAME face you wore after Riku died.. The SAME face.. Something I.. never wanted to see again.." he said, clutching his shirt near his heart as if the words he spoke sent acid throughout his body.

Saya gave her adoptive older brother a hug, "It's fine.. I'm sure it's a very small issue that me and her can talk over.. Seriously Kai! Quit making yourself upset!" she laughed. Kai rolled his eyes and hugged back, "You too.. I mean.. You almost started sobbing in a Mexican Restaurant.. I mean.. Come on Saya!" Kai said playfully.

They let go and each gave each other a playful shove before continuing down the hall. The others were waiting in the lobby. "Is dad awake yet?" Seiya asked, looking up from a game of Rich-Man, Poor Man that she, Seth, Fay, Blade and Rhi were playing. "He's still recovering.. but we found out that tonight we can take the Red Shield HQ ship and go where ever we need to go to track Nathan and Adverine.." Saya said. "Really? That BIG cruise ship? We can use it? Awesome! Oh my god.. I'm glad I packed enough!" Rhi cheered.

"A crusie.. ship?" Seiya blinked. "You don't know what a crusie ship is?" Seth asked. Seiya shook her head, "No.. I mainly stayed around Lady Kioko's house most of my life.. so what is it?" she asked. "Seiya..Seiya.." Blade said and shook his head. He grabed a pen and paper from the front desk and drew Seiya a picture of a crusie ship.

"Here you go.." Blade said and handed it to her. Seiya, Seth, and Rhi looked at the picture, "Wow.. Sugoi!" They said in awe. "How did you learn how to draw like that?" Rhi asked. Blade shrugged, "Just self-taught.. nothing too exciting.." "Oh.. So it's a ship with rooms and pools and things like that?" Seiya asked and everyone nodded. "This is going to be fun!" She grinned.

She looked over to Fay, "What about you, Fay?" she asked. Fay blinked, "Um... It sounds fun.. What time are we leaving?" she asked. "Um.. I say in about a few hours..." Kai said and Fay flashed a look to Hajime who was leaning against the wall. He caught her glance and after shooting her an impatient glare he sighed and nodded.

Kai noticed this, 'What on earth?' he wondered. "Fugō! (Rich-Man) " Seth called, distracting Kai's train of thought. "DaiFugō! (Very Rich Man)" Seiya called and then smirked at Seth, "Ah.. man.." he groaned. "Sigh... heimin.. (Common Man)" Rhi said, "Least I'm third place.." she huffed. "Hi-hinmin? (Poor Man)" Blade exclaimed, "Ahhh.. Nooo!" he groaned. Fay sighed, "Daihinmin.. (Very Poor Man)" she said glumly.

"Wow.. That sucks that you lost Fay.. But I mean.. It's just a card game.." Rhi said, noticing her sister's gloom. "Yeah.. Just a game.. I'll be back.." She said, getting up and dodged into one of the hallways. Hajime disappeared from his spot on the wall and, suspisious, Blade got up as well, "Start the next game without me... I'll be back.." he said and disappeared.

"What on.. Earth?" Kai and Saya blinked before sitting down with the others, "Hey.. Mom and Kai.. Wanna play?" Seiya asked, "Yeah.. Sure.. Might as well waste time til we can leave.." Kai said and Seiya dealt out the cards.

Meanwhile

Fay had gone into the stairwell and was climbing up the stairs with Hajime appeared next to her. "So how are you sure that you'll be less interrupted on a Cruise Ship in order to answer my question?" he asked. Fay sighed, "Because.. The ship is huge.. I've seen it before.. There are enough places in that ship that no one goes that we're not going to be interupted.." Fay said. "And now is not a good time because?" Hajime asked.

Fay sighed, "Blade.. can you quit hiding.. I know your there.." she said and Hajime turned around to see Blade next to him, "Your good..." Blade commented. "Why are you following me? Tell me that then.." Fay said, glaring at him. "Fay My dear.. I was worried about you.. Can't you tell?" he grinned.

"Go away Blade.." she growled. Blade sighed, "No.. I wont.. You aren't Rika.. So I do not need listen to you.." Hajime shoved Blade against the wall. "Leave.." He hissed. Blade pushed him away, "Hmm.. Do you do though?" he asked Hajime with a smirk. "I fight on my own accord..." Hajime replied coldly and knocked Blade into the wall. "Hinmin and DaiHinmin.." Blade said in a near whisper. "What?" Hajime asked. Blade stumbled up. "Hinmin..." Blade repeated, pointing to himself, "And DaiHinmin.." he said, pointing to Hajime.

"We've both lost something.. Me losing Rika.. making me the Hinmin.. and you.. losing not only your memory.. Which I know you lost, and a meaning for your exist by not knowing who you serve.. Making you DaiHinmin.." "What's your point?" Hajime asked. Blade became serious, "Poor Man and Very Poor man..Being as such.. We have no masters and can act alone thous choosing if we wish to fight for ourselves or fighting for someone to fill our void.." He said, "That's how we act as abandon chevaliers.."

"Your point?" Hajime asked, becoming bored of the explanation. "My point is that it's normal for 'us' to act as such.. But.." He turned to Fay, "Why would the Fugō fight for someone as if they were a Hinmin? Your playing a very dangerous game here, hon." He said. Fay was surprised by his words, "What.. Are you talking about?" she asked, backing up.

Blade appeared next to her, "When we were playing the game.. You took your role in the game as a sign for you becoming something your not.." Fay bit her lip and looked away, "I still don't know what your talking about.." Blade lifted her chin, "I don't believe you in the slightest.. What is with you two anyway?" He asked and tried to scan her face for an answer.

His eyes landed on her neck and Fay flinched. "That's enough.." Hajime said, pushing him away from her. Blade's eyes went wide, "He.. Bit you.. didn't he?" he asked and Fay didn't answer. "Knock it off.." Hajime hissed. "No.. That's what happened.." he looked at Hajime, "When?" he asked and noticed the flames in Hajime's eyes, "No way.. When I.. On the roof? When I.." "Hajime!" Fay said with a worried look on her face.

"I'm not saying anything.. You.. Quit..Now.." He hissed. "Fine.." Blade said and then mumbled, "Seiya and Seth are coming.." before disappearing. Just like he said, Seth and Seiya following not too far behind entered the stairwell. "There you two are.." Seth said. "Fay.. What's going on? I heard shouting..." Seiya said, looking concern for her cousin.

Hajime disappeared and Fay looked as if she were about to cry, "Sigh.. Nothing.. Damnit Seiya! Why does everyone have to interrupt me! Ugh.." she said and ran up the stairs. "Fay!" Seiya called, following her. Seth was about to follow when Blade stopped him, "I wouldn't if I were you.." Seth struggled against his grip, "Why.. Not? I want to follow Seiya.." he groaned.

"Trust me.. Fay is in ONE sour mood.. It's for your own good.." Blade said and let Seth go. "Fine.." Seth said and both got out of the stairwell. "Hey.. Um.. Blade?" Seth asked, "Hmm?" "Um.. about last night.. How.. On earth could you do that?" he asked. Blade smirked, "Can you guess my age, kid?" he asked.

"Seventeen?" "Correct.. But also wrong.." Blade said. "I.. Don't understand.." Seth said. "Fine.. How old are you?" Blade asked. "Sixteen?" "Hope you like your appearance.. Because no matter how old you are.. You'll always look like that.." Seth blinked, "No.. way.. Then.. How old are you really?" he asked. "Thirty four..." "No way!" Seth gasped, "I'm serious.. Seventeen years ago.. When I was Seventeen.. Rika turned me into her chevalier.."

"No.. no way.. So.. That's how your able to do that? Because you're older than me?" Seth asked. "Bingo Otouto-san.." he grinned. Seth turned red, "I'm not your little brother.. creep!" he growled. "What are you turning red for then? Don't tell me that turned you on..." Blade snickered. "Hentai! Hentai! Get away from me sexual harassment aho!" Seth hissed, pushing him away.

"Haha.. Fine, fine.. I will.. But first.. You have to called me Nii-san for the rest of.. well.. Forever!" he grinned. "What? Why?" "Because.. I'm older.. And I'm bored..." "Get away..." Seth said, using his chevalier speed to get away from Blade. He caught up with him in a flash and grabbed his arm, "Get away... Who?" he asked.

"Baka Hentai Nii-san.. Are you happy now?" he asked. Blade grinned, "Heh heh.. Can't wait for you to use 'Nii-san' infront of Seiya! Haha! Maybe I should change it to 'Onii-Tan*'." WHACK! Seth pounded Blade into the ground, leaving a big crater , "Hmm.. Look at the time.. Huh..Later Onii-san.." He grinned and disappeared.

(* Honorific toddlers use because they can't pronouce 'chan'. Basicly it's an insult to Seth for Blade trying to make him say that.)

"Owww... That kid's... Got strength.." He groaned. Rhi walked by and noticed him on the ground, "What an idiot.." she said, shaking her head and walking past him and into the Women's bathroom. A sweat-drop appeared on his head.

Back with the girls...

Fay had locked herself on the roof and Seiya tried desperately to unlock it. "Fay! What did I do? I'm sorry.." Seiya called. Fay ignored her and the pounding on the door. "Ugh!" Seiya groaned, and sat on the stairwell. "Fay... Sorry if me and Seth interrupted.. We were actually trying to find Kenneth for Saya and Kai but we just ended up finding you and Hajime in the stairwell.. I'm sorry.."

Fay sighed and opened the door, "I'm sorry.. I haven't really been myself..But there is just something I was trying to tell Hajime that I keep trying to tell him but someone always interrupts me.. Sorry.." Fay said. Seiya smiled at Fay,

"Okay.. And sorry.. We'll try not to take the stairway if you want to tell him now.." Seiya suggested. "Well.. Actually.. I was trying to tell him I was going to tell him later.. so it's fine.. Sigh.. I really need a water.. Seiya how about we go get one in the cafeteria and go back to everyone?" she asked. Seiya nodded, "Sure.. Let's go." She said, and the two started heading down the stairs.

. . . .

Solomon was dreaming about a time when he was Diva's chevalier.

"Solomon.." Amshel said and appeared in the library with him, "Ah.. Big Brother.. Nice of you to drop me a visit.." He smiled, setting a book down he was reading. "To what do I owe this visit?" he asked. "I have found another person to protect Diva.. His name is Nathan and I thought I'd introduce him you you and Karl.." Amshel said.

"Oh?" Solomon questioned, standing up. Amshel nodded, "Come in.." he said and another blonde like himself walked in wearing pink pants and a frilly purple shirt walked in, "Oh? This is the Dear Solomon you've been telling me about?" He grinned. Solomon smiled and held out his hand, "Nice you meet you, brother.." he said. "Oh what manners he has! Solomon you truly are an interesting one.. Way more than Karl was.." Nathan said and shook his hand.

The dream fast forward to when Solomon was locked down in the cell and Nathan let him go. Of course that time was now far behind him.. And all his 'brothers' from over the years were gone except for one, being Nathan. He was glad that Saya didn't kill Nathan though he hoped that Nathan wouldn't come after Saya for revenge.

He kept dreaming and letting his memories of a previous life flow back into his head before he woke up and continue his new life. He started to remember his life as a human before he was a chevalier when he was an older brother that was married to a beautiful woman though in his mind, she seemed plain now compared to Saya.

The dream seem to be a happy reminder of his time as a human til he remebered what made him no longer wish to be one. His wife died after being shot by the enemy they were at war with and his little brother, nineteen at the time, ran away and was rummor to have been killed by the enemy. "No.. No.." He moaned. In his sleep as his dream started to turn into a nightmare.

Julia and two other medical students she was training, were moving his bed onto the ship. "Looks like he'll be awake soon.." Julia said, looking a her clock. "You two.. I hope you remember everything I taught you about dealing with chiropterans, all the girls and chevaliers.." "We remember.." her students said in unison.

Julia smiled, "Good.." she said as she and her students finished hooking Solomon's monitors up to the cruise ship's plugs. "Now they should be arriving any minute now.. It's almost Eight o'clock." she said and walked towards the deck with her students following her. David was waiting for her as well as Kennth.

"Ready to go, David?" She asked and David nodded, "Now Kenneth.. Don't you dare die out there.." he said, glaring at his son. "Haha.. Don't worry pops.. They're just looking for someone and I've got enough lead to pound into those Chiropterans.." Julia and David rolled their eyes.

Kai and the others finally arrived. Julia and David nodded at them as they passed, "Alright! 'bout time you made it! Come on.. Come on.. Greg's waiting to move the ship!" Kenneth said and pushed them all on the boat. "See ya!" Kenneth waved to his parents before the platform to the ship lifted up.

"Um.. Bye David!" Saya called and Kai waved to David as well and he waved back, "Kai.. Keep my son out of trouble.." he called, "Yeah.. Haha I'll try.." he shot back and the boat's horn blew as it pulled away from the dock. "So... Who stays where?" Rhi asked, hoping to get a room with Seiya. Kenneth held out a handful of keys. "Everyone take a key.. These are the keys to your rooms.. Some are the same keys meaning you'll be sharing a room with the other person to have your key.. I thought this was a fun way to decide things!" Kenneth grinned.

"What about Chevaliers?" Seth asked. "All three of you are going to play this game as well.. Everyone grab a key and find a room.." he said, dropping the keys on the ground. Everyone grabbed a key off the ground and ran to go find their rooms and roomates. Blade and Hajime sighed and took the last two keys and walked over to the rooms.

Seth followed Seiya around, til she found her room at the very end of the third floor, away from everyone else. "Well.. Guess this is my room.." She locked it again and allowed Seth to try. His key didn't fit, "Ahh.. No.. " He groaned, "Told you we wouldn't be sharing a room.." Seiya said, sticking her tongue out. "Hmm... Does my key match yours?" Blade grinned, appearing next to Seiya.

"O-Onii-san?" Seth said, surprised. "Onii-san?" Seiya questioned, "It's a game we're playing.. Aww.. No luck.." Blade sighed and tried the door next to her's. It opened. "Good luck finding a room Otouto-san.." he winked and stepped inside. "If my key works on this room..." Seth mumbled to himself and turned his key. The door opened, "No way..." Seth groaned.

"Good luck Sethy!" Seiya waved as he walked inside. Seiya could hear the two the room. "Wonder who my roommate is-" she turned around and was shocked to see Hajime trying his key in her door and the door opening, "No... way!" Seiya thought, as all color drained from her face.

Hajime looked in her direction. "Ahh... Guess we're roommates .." Seiya said, flashing Hajime his key. Hajime just looked at it and walked into the room. A sweat drop appeared on her head and she walked into the room as well picking the closest bed from the door. 'I.. can't believe I'm sharing a room with him! He really of creeps me out..' Seiya thought to herself. Hajime stood by the window in the room, not saying anything. 'I wonder if he is as mad as Fay was when me and Seth walked in.. Oh god.. I soo hope he's not mad!' she prayed and then sighed 'I wonder who everyone else is sharing a room with...' Seiya thought as she silently unpacked her stuff and put it in her dresser.

Meanwhile...

Fay opened the door and grimaced. Her sister was in the room that she was to be sharing. Rhi looked over, "Yay! We're roommates!" she smiled and hugged her sister. "Hey Rhi.." Fay said, giving her a half smile. Rhi let her sister go. "This is awesome! Do you want the bed near the window? I can move.." "No.. I'm good." Fay smiled and laid down on her bed.

"Are you feeling okay?" Rhi asked. "Yeah... I'm just tired.. that's all..." "Is it because of lack of blood? I mean we haven't had a transfusion today.." "No.. Rhi .. I'm fine.." Fay insisted. "Sigh.. fine.." Rhi looked out the window, 'Gezz Fay.. Can you be any more of a stick in the mud?' she wondered.

. . .

Kai ended up sharing a room with Saya and Kenneth and the other members of the crew already had their rooms together. After taking a shower and waiting for an I-V to finish, Saya went to visit Solomon. Solomon seemed to be in a peaceful sleep at first but then he started to toss and turn, and nearly knocking the equipment off of him. "Solomon.. Solomon! Calm down.. please.." Saya said, trying to hold him down.

Solomon's eyes flew open and he sat up, gasping for air. "Solomon?" Saya questioned and Solomon looked at her and sighed and leaned his head on her, "Good morning... Saya.." he smiled, making Saya's heart skip a beat.

She took a deep breath to calm down her heart beat, "I'm glad your awake.. I didn't know WHEN you were going to wake up.." she said. "Sorry.. I should of trusted Seiya's chevalier to protect her.." he looked down. "No! No! Don't apologize! I mean.. Your Seiya's father first and my chevalier second.." She said quickly.

Solomon sighed and hugged Saya, "I know.. But if something would of happened to you while I was trying to save her.. I would of never forgive myself..." he said in a serious tone, pulling Saya closer to him. "Solomon..." Saya said, blushing slightly and then pushed him partly away, "Then.. I would of just called your name." she said, beaming a smile at him.

Solomon blinked and then laughed, "Je T'aime, Mon amant.." he said smiling at Saya. "What.. does that mean?" she asked, confused. "It's french for 'I love you, love..'" he said, kissing her on the lips. Saya's face redden. "Um... How to you respond?" she asked when Solomon slightly pulled his face back. "You really want to learn?" he asked and Saya nodded, "It.. It's not fair that you know a language I don't.." she said in defence. "Mmm.. True true... Alright then.. Moi-" "Moi..." Saya repeated. "Aussi.." "A-Auussi..?" "Je Taime.." "Je Taime... Moi Aussi, Je taime.." she said smiling at her words matching Solomon's with ease.

Solomon smirked, "Hmmm Wasn't expecting you to be a fast learner.." They leaned for another kiss but the wires connected to Solomon and the monitors around him tugged him back. He sighed, "Why so many cables and such? One would think I was on my death bed for heavens sake.." Saya giggled and pressed the button on the side of his bed that paged Julia's assistants.

"Well I mean.. You didn't wake up and Julia thought because you tried to use your chiropteran form it could of been too much for you.. Technically.. You were on a deathbed almost.. " Solomon rolled his eyes, "I'm sure.." he smirked.

Julia's assistants walked in, "Ah.. There you are.. Would you mind unbinding me from these machines?" he asked. The three spread out and started unhooking everything. Saya stepped back to get out of their way. "Sorry.. We weren't expecting you to wake up so soon.." the girl said. "See? Didn't I just say we should just unplug everything? I mean he isn't human after all.." one of the males muttered to the other.

Finally they were done and wheeled everything away. Solomon stood up and stretched, "Sigh... That's better... Now.. where were we?" Solomon asked and turned to Saya. She lightly wrapped her arms around Solomon's neck pulled him closer, "Here.." Saya answered. Solomon laughed to himself as he heard her heart racing. She leaned forward and kissed him and Solomon then wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her closer to him.

They seemed to step back little by little til Saya's back tapped the bed's mattress. "Wait.." Saya said, pulling away from Solomon. "Hmm?" "Kai.. Oh! Wait.. Kai!" she gasped. "What?" Solomon asked, feeling his adrenaline kick in. "Kai wanted me to ask you something very important.. I'm sorry.. I didn't remember til I hit the bed remembering Kai's my roommate and that he wanted me to ask you.."

"It's fine.. Ask me whatever you wish.." He said. She sighed, "Solomon.. Is Nathan alive?" she asked. Solomon was slightly started by the question. "Is he?" she asked. "Why do you wish to know?" he asked, dodging the question. "Because.. I have to know.. He TOLD me to kill him after I killed Diva.. But Seiya and Rhi said that the man you were talking to was Nathan himself!"

"Sigh.. Yes.. He's alive.." Solomon said, looking down. "Did you know he was there before you got there?" "Yes...I actually got a call on the phone about him..And that's why I rushed over to Japan.." he confessed. "Well.. I mean you could of said-" "No.." Solomon said, changing his tone. He looked Saya in the eyes, "I know this is very selfish.. But.. I owe.. Nathan.. Alot.. So because I didn't know how you would react.. I didn't tell you.. I'm sorry.."

"Solo-" Saya began to faint and fall backwards. Solomon caught her before she fell to the floor. "It was a selfish act.." Solomon said grimly. "A mistake.. Something I never wanted to make in front of you.. love.." he said and then looked out the room's only window. "That's one favor..Brother.. Only a few more and I'll never burden her again.." he said.

(*Translation question.. I've taken french before and know there are masculine and feminine versions of each word but I couldn't find any for these.. Please correct my french if I'm wrong.)

Ah yes.. I must apologize.. This chapter was a 'filler' chapter.. I'm not too fond of them but I hope it was slightly entertaining. ((SoloXSaya action at least! ;P And no Yaoi.. I just love messing with two boy characters in my stories with moments like such.. *Like my all time favorite... Malachite and Rubli! You'll see in C.S.M :P*))

Episode 3: Beyond Generation

0.o? What could it mean? What's going to happen? Not a filler chapter I promise ;)
