Chapter 9:

The Five Black Saints

(Sara's POV)

After Shiryu left, Seiya told me to go and have some rest because he notice that I didn't look to well. Actually I haven't keep my eyes close all night so maybe take a little nap would help me out. I went inside the mansion and sleep in the room that Saori give me. For some reason she was going to have a conference about the golden armor. Then I let the darkness take me for a little of rest but, even if I was asleep, I couldn't stop knowing that even if I was unconscious… I could still feel their pain and sadness all around me. I could feel what others feel even if they didn't need to say it and right now, Saori was one of them. Her mind was fill with terror and pain while she keep remembering of what happen last night. Later I feel her shock and surprise which make me believe that she awoke just in time. And then later I feel another present from there but one that was more calmer and gentle. I knew who it was and that was my lovely brother, I open my eyes and notice the clock. I have sleep for a good time so, I think is right to stand up and help him if I need to. I took a shower and put on the normal clothes I have went I fist came here, I walk down to notice that Seiya was leaving with a dog.

- Oh, hey Eve.- say Seiya which make smile and notice that the dog was running away. He notice my confusion look went I look at the dog which he smile at me. - This is a dog police and making him smell the scent of Ikki, would make us find him in no time. You wanna come?- he ask me. He didn't have to ask twice. We run after the dog and outside. - Ok, you got Ikki's scent right? We fought Ikki on the port yesterday evening so that's the best place to starting point for our search party.- there was a taxi waiting for us. - Hey! Slow down! That's better. Go on, get in.- but the dog start to run on the side were you could say was a forest. - Hey wait! Hayate! Oh, man. What a stupid dog.- say Seiya and we chase after it. Once we were heading even more inside the forest and then I feel the present of danger in there but, also… Shun. I could feel Shun's pain and later terror. The dog stop went the road split in two, we wait a little and we start to chase him again.

- This way?- ask Seiya but, I knew that the dog wouldn't tell him. We only need to follow him, I just hope that Shun is ok. By the time we reach them the hole place was in snow. - Hyoga?

- Seiya! Eve!- scream Shun who was on the ground against a tree. - What are you doing here?- we run toward him, I look at him if he was hurt.

- Are you hurt?

- No, I'm fine, Eve.- say Shun.

- Hayata follow Ikki's scent all the way through the forest. Shun, where is he now?- ask Seiya.

- His not here. The dog might got Ikki's scent because of this tree that mark with his fist went he was a little boy.- say Shun.

- Oh, it's that so. Well as long as I'm here, I guess that will get me a chance to help Hyoga bit that bastard.- say Seiya.

- I don't need it. This match is one on one.- say Hyoga.

- Well, what the hell all that? I'm not just going to stand here and watch you fight him all by yourself.- say Seiya but Hyoga give him a angry face that terrify the dog. We watch Hyoga fight with the Dark Cygnus, Hyoga was froze.

- My black snow can freeze anything even you Cygnus.- say the Dark Cygnus.

- Shun we have to do something or he'll die!- scream Seiya but, then Hyoga got the ice off him.

- Did you see Black Swan, all you did was froze the outer layer of skin of my body.- say Hyoga.

- But… it can't be.- say Black Cygnus.

- Now is your turn to freeze. Here's a real taste of my diamond dust. Diamond Dust!- say Hyoga attacking the Black Cygnus but he dodge it with a single jump. At least that's what he thought. - You probably have avoid my punch but… look at your leg.- and with that we notice that Hyoga was able to hit him a little. - With one leg frozen, you wouldn't about my diamond dust this time. You're done for, Black Swan.

- Not so fast!- scream someone from the darkness and later some black chain came toward Hyoga which make him jump back.

- Look is a black chain.- say Shun and we all look up where it came from. And to our worse fear four figures were show went the fog was off. - How's it going, Black Swan? Killing sometime here?- ask a man who seem the one who stop Hyoga. He look similar to Shiryu also the others to Seiya, Shun and… Me?

- Back off, Black Dragon. This is between me and Cygnus.- say the Black Cygnus.

- Not now, Ikki is waiting for you! He said that you must come with us!- scream Black Dragon.

- Very well. Your lucky, your life has spear!- say Black Cygnus jumping away from Hyoga and went toward the others.

- Wait!- scream Hyoga.

- We are…- say the Black Cygnus.

- The Five Black Saints!- say all at the same time, laughing later.

- They most be the five strongest black saints.- say Seiya and with that they were gone along with the snow. Then the dog start to bark. - Is ok, boy. They're gone. If only I have my Pegasus armor there's no way they couldn't gone away that easily.

- Hyoga!- scream Shun and then we notice that Hyoga was in pain. - Was wrong?

- I thought that I have won but, his freeze was very strong. My left arm is completely numb, while he was avoiding my blows, he also attack me at the same time.- say Hyoga.

- The black saints are strong and their power is so dark.- say Shun.

- They use that power whatever Ikki commands them to do. It seems like both sides are on the open now. It's starting to get interesting.- say Seiya, I walk toward Hyoga and grave his numb arm. I use my cosmos to make the damage less painful for him. And to their surprise, I was doing it. I have my eyes close and went I open them again the numb of his arm was gone. I let go of his arm and walk away from there, for some reason I could feel that they stuck there without moving at all looking at me. Went I was far away from them I start to run at maximum speed. By the I reach the mansion I slow down and open the doors, I went directly toward my room and lay down for a moment. That moment took me to fall sleep again, I didn't notice that I was so exhaust and I didn't protest to keep myself awake. I didn't know if I was dreaming or I was feeling the feelings of Saori but, I could see that Grandfather was there with her and with me. We were in the planetarium, he was encouraging Saori to be a better person with the others. That she let a side her statues and have a kind heart for them.

- Sara why did you leave me? Sara I need you!

I wake up sweating and sit up in the bed. Was really Saori in this pain? I try to concentrate but it was already dark outside so she might be asleep right now. Maybe I just image that.

Next Day…

I wake up, for some reason I feel find but then I got a strange feeling that Saori wasn't. I took a shower and head toward her. She seem depress and went she notice me, she smile at me but in her hands was a black envelop with something red in it.

- Is it from Ikki?

- Yes, and I'm afraid that all of you are in danger. But mostly… Seiya.- say Saori almost wanting to cry. Seiya? Why is Seiya the one that has more danger? Then I notice that if Shiryu didn't return in time then Seiya will have to fight without his armor. I walk next to her and put my hand in her left shoulder, she look at me very surprise by that.

- Everything is going to be fine.- and I give her a smile which she return but, then she try to stuck up so I let go of my hand.

- I'm going to visit Seiya and give him the letter.- she seem unsure, and I knew that from the start she didn't get alone well with him. I notice that for some reason she change, could it be that what I dream was real? Then she leave with Tatsumi where Seiya was, I just hope that Seiya can be gentle with her once because… right now she seems very deep worry about all of us and mostly about him.

A week Later…

I have a bad feeling about Shiryu but that later was over and I didn't know why. Could it be that something happen to him? Well, today was the day we'll fight Ikki and his Five Black Saints. It was still dark but, I have a feeling that I need to go to the port where the Seiya was. By the time I reach it, he was already there at the end of the bridge. I let my cosmos reach him and for some reason he accept it. He turn around and look at me. He look worry and I knew it was because of Shiryu, I walk toward him until I was next to him. We look much alike, if it weren't for my hair we were look like brother and sister. Except that he have deep brown eyes and hair color. We both look at the sea and later to the sky while the stars till show themselves for us. We could understand each other without saying a word at all, and that was ok for us.
