Driving Lesson
Part four
Experience 6 – Shaka
"…" Shaka definitely had a bad feeling about this.
He was looking intently at the slightly beaten car, if you could call that damage slightly… the door was well… wrecked and the roof was uneven and even he couldn't move the seat back or forward at all. You all know that Shaka was slightly cough… short right? Plus he was still having a grudge with the stupid car's door. But since it was Athena's order and couldn't be ignored and since he was loyal (correction: all of them are loyal), he was stuck. Sigh…
"Could you please go inside the car, Shaka." The blonde god saint politely said since he was unsure of this man's mood, no he was not afraid.
The blonde gold saint after all was not called man closed to God for nothing. Shaka let out another sigh before he slumped into the seat. His foot was reaching the pedal but just barely, sighing he sat closer to the edge.
"Now what?"
"Put on your seat belt and start the engine?" after several saints, the swan cloth wearer was experienced enough to put the gear on neutral. After the seat belt was attached Hyoga began to explain what he should do and then paused.
"Open your eyes?"
"… You have a death wish, don't you?" he said and suddenly the temperature inside the car became several degrees lower; Hyoga could only shudder before he shook his head.
"No, but you need your eyes to drive you know." Another paused before Shaka shook his head.
"I can feel my surroundings just fine." As soon as he stopped talking, he was moving the gear and started to drive. Like Mu the car coughed once in a while but after several attempts, the car was actually going quite smoothly.
"Hem… not bad, Shaka."
"Hmpf, you should at least trust me beside I am the man close to the-" before he could finished his words, a car suddenly stopped with a loud bang. Second later, a groan could be heard from Hyoga followed by a murmur
"Ok? What happened?"
"You bumped into Athena's statue!"
"Oh…" he said innocently then paused. "Do you think she will kill me later?"
"Groan… you said you can feel your surroundings!" now the usually calm saint became more frantic as he put off his seatbelt, wanting to examine the poor car. Before he could open the door, Shaka's words stopped him.
"Well, I can feel my surrounding but the car can't." he said matter-of-factly, Hyoga was trying to restrain himself from strangling said saint or banging his head onto the dashboard. As if it wasn't bad enough, Athena seemed to hate him as the statue head cracked and ended up falling onto the front car's body with a loud bang before it rolled onto the ground. Another pause.
"… well at least we know that thing was low quality…" Shaka said looking on the bright side before Hyoga finally decided to bang his forehead onto the dashboard. Poor Hyoga… I mean poor car…
Saint
Seiya
"That's was not our car, right?" Milo said as he eying the supposed to be red Toyota car. The roof was uneven, the front door was wrecked, the front body was bruised and Camus who was beside it, examined cracked front light. "How come? It's beaten so badly?!"
"Not everyone knows how to drive, Milo."
"True but still…"
"Wait?! Did that mean Sensei (teacher) and Milo can drive?" Inside his head, the chibi Hyoga was running around happy and cheerfully. 'Thank goodness! Finally someone who can drive!'
"No." Milo said which completely dashed the swan saint's mood down several degrees and as he began to make circles with his finger in the corner.
"Stop teasing him, will you?" the Aquarius saint said stoically, while Milo grinning slightly.
"Such an over-protective father you are eh?" A glare. The Scorpio saint finally slumped into the front driver seat and as soon as he closed the door, Camus put his hand onto the door. The act though met with a questioned look.
"What are you doing?"
"Freeze the front door." He actually grinned slightly
"Wha!" before the older gold saint could react, the front door was frozen. Camus satisfied with the result himself, opened the back door and elegantly stepped in. Hyoga eyes were twitching but said nothing before he himself slid in. 'Goddess now that damn door can't be open! Sigh…' Camus himself was met with a retort. "What the beep are you thinking? Freezing the door?!"
"So?" the monotone answer was only make Milo slapped his forehead.
"You know that your ice is impossible to melt!"
"And I'm proud of it."
"How can I go out?"
"That's a good question…" the blonde saint was sighing again, now how could he unlock the door for the next driving apprentice? And why was his fath- teacher so slow today…
"But at least you are safe; I know how you drive…" the Aquarius said. Hyoga was blinking; he wasn't imagining, was he? He actually heard something not quite right in his teacher's tone…
"Stop acting like Aiolos, I'm older than you!"
"And childish." He continued and locked his seatbelt and crossed his hand. Wait, that was not a smile, was it? Camus was hardly ever smiling!
"Hey!" even so Milo was grinning as he started the engine; he avoided to touch the door however… "Heh, kid? Tighten your seatbelt."
"So you can drive?" Hyoga didn't need to wait long for the answer, as soon as the seatbelt locked; the car speed like crazy as it zigzagging and zoomed around the garden. He could almost smell the mischievousness on him, as Milo drove somewhat backward too, missing narrowly from the poor headless statue. He even put a stunt on parking the car by using the hand brake and made the car spin around and ended up with a loud screech, parking in the very small space. "So?"
"Not bad." Said Camus uncharacteristically. The Scorpio could see the amused look on him while Hyoga finally took a deep breath, he realized that he hold his breath too long. Actually the stunt was cool if you saw it from the outside but he never thought that it was unpleasantly un-cool when you were inside the said car! He began to feel carsick when he realized the car was lifted up and down like a car toy (by hand, mind you?).
"My turn." Camus was already behind the wheel, at the same time Milo was stepping in from the back door and attached his seatbelt. On how they could be so quick in changing position with the front driver door frozen would be a mystery. Hyoga was about to protest when the engine started with another crazy stunt, this time his sensei was pulling a stunt by driving a car with 2 side wheels, then same as Milo, driving and zigzagging with high speeds and parking with the hand brake. As soon as they stopped, the blue haired saint patted his best friend's back.
"Heh? Not bad yourself, Ice Cube."
"Hn. Now Hyoga?" he started but discovered that his student was nowhere to be found. "Where is he?"
"Oh, he was jumping down as soon as we stop."
"Oh…" Not far from them, Aiolia could be spotted on the balcony as he watching the entire scene, shaking his head. "Poor Hyoga, I should have told him that those two surprisingly loved making car stunts, just like in the movies…"
"Yeah… who would've thought about that?" Aphrodite who was also standing on the balcony said, while Deathmask chuckled beside him. In fact almost all gold saints minus Dohko and Shion were standing on the balcony, watching.
"That's cool though." said Saga.
"Indeed." Shaka was actually agreed.
"I still hate cars…" Mu added.
To be continued…
Tifa: *grin* well that was quite surprising, wasn't it? Next is Shura and Aphrodite. Dohko and Shion might be in the next chapter too but we'll see.
Dohko: Might be?
Aphrodite: Review or I'll send my flowers
Shura: I have a really bad feeling about this.
Hyoga: for today, I hate my sensei… ugh…
Shion: Being carsick was quite frightening…
