Once again, Saori found herself on a ship, the last place she wanted to be.

This time, though, it wasn't on a cruise but in midst of a kidnapping. She quietly sat in a corner, closing her eyes and thinking of other things to avoid seasickness. Seiya's face flashed in her mind; and the image of him in his Pegasus Cloth. Speaking of which, her kidnappers also wore armors similar the Cloths she saw in Sanctuary.

They must be Saints too, Saori thought. I can't let them take me. I must find a way to get out of here.

But the ship already in the middle of the sea and the only way out was to jump overboard.

"You, I know you," one of the kidnappers said with hostility. "You are the one who's mean to my brother Cassius."

Saori certainly remembered Cassius, that ugly and nasty disciple of Shaina's who picked on her and Seiya.

"He asked for it," Saori said, showing no fear.

She was about to speak more, but seasickness came to her. She had to stop talking to prevent herself from vomiting.

"You will pay for what you put him through!" He was about to hit her before another Saint stopped him.

"Docrates, get out of here," he ordered.

Saori looked up and found a man in gold Cloth before her. Initially, she thought it is Camus; but it isn't.

"Saori Kido" he began. "By the order of the Pope, I am to take you to Sanctuary. But, I'm not going to do that."

"You are letting me go?" Saori asked.

"No, we are heading to Siberia," he said. "Scorpio Milo. Aquarius Camus is my friend, and I recognized you as that girl from Sanctuary. You made the dumbest decision by picking Pegasus Seiya over Camus. Had you married Camus, you wouldn't be in this much trouble. Camus is the most decent man and he protects the ones he cares about."

"He never cared about me," Saori retorted. "He's trying to find a mother for his disciple, who's even older than I am!"

"You know Cyngus Hyoga?" Milo asked with amusement, turning the ship's direction towards North, to Russia. "What a small world."

"Camus doesn't need me," Saori went on. "He needs a psychiatrist."

"That's what I thought too," Milo replied. "But after you left with Pegasus, he's a total mess. His face is cold and hard with no emotion."

"That's what all Russians are like," Saori insisted. "If he were smiling from ear to ear, then something is amiss!"

"Camus is French," Milo said.

"Then what is he doing in Russia?"

"You can ask him yourself when we get there."

"No! We are heading back to Tokyo!" She grabbed the helm. "At least, I'm not leaving without saying goodbye to Seiya!"

The two wrestled the helm, rocking the ship back and forth.


Saori was stronger than Milo expected. However, soon she was exhausted and seasickness came to her again. She let go of the helm and vomited.

"You have picked Pegasus over Camus," Milo said evenly. "But where is he now? Why isn't he by your side?"

Catching her breath, Saori replied, "I let him go."

"After insisting that Pegasus is the one you want, you let him go?" Milo couldn't believe his ears.

"You know nothing about love," Saori said.

"If he loves you as much as you love him" Milo said. "Then he wouldn't have left. This can only mean one thing - you and Pegasus are never meant to be."

Before Saori could say anything, she heard sound of fighting. She looked through the window and saw Docrates fighting against a shadow figure. She immediately recognized him as Seiya.

"Seiya!" Saori cried; her eyes brightened. She was about to go to him before Milo held her back by the arm.

"When do you learn?" Milo said. "You have no chance with Pegasus! He's no match against a Silver Saint!"

Saori sharply slapped him across the face. "You're wrong! Seiya is here because of me! Had Camus cared for me at all, he'd come for me himself."

She had strike him quite hard, to the point he let go of her arm. Quickly, she ran to Seiya.


When Docrates faced Seiya, he wanted to kill him for Cassius. He had the upper hand at first, but as the ship rocked hard with Saori and Milo fought over the helm, he got very sick and threw up - which gave Seiya the opportunity to attack him with his Pegasus Meteor Punch. It wasn't an easy battle, but in the end, Docrates went down.

After he left the Kido's mansion, Seiya went to see Miho, his childhood friend. Miho was jubilant to see him. Seiya hoped that Miho would know where his sister went. Sadly, Miho told him the same thing Saori did - that Seika had gone for years and no one knew where she is. She suggested Seiya to stay at the orphanage for a few days. The kids liked Seiya and even asked him to stay forever. Together, they watched the Galaxian Tournament on TV. The boys were excited to watch Jabu fighting Ban. But Seiya's eyes glued on Saori. By first glace, he knew she's miserable.

Without a hesitation, he went back to the Kido mansion to see her, only to find out the Kido mansion surrounded by soldiers and two Silver Saints from Sanctuary. Donning his Cloth, he joined other Bronze Saints in the battle. In the middle of the fight, Shun told Seiya that Saori is taken. Immediately, Seiya realized that the soldiers were simply holding them back. He blasted the soldiers away with his attack and ran to rescue Saori.

For inexplicable reason, it seemed like he knew where Saori is, as if their souls were connected. He ran to the dock and saw Saori was taken on a ship. He jumped on the ship as it sailed away, and found himself facing Docrates.

After a hard battle, he had him defeated. Wiping the sweats and blood from his face, he found Saori standing not far from him.

"Seiya!" She threw her arms around him. "Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine," he replied. "You?"

"I'm okay," Saori said to him. "A Gold Saint is on board. He's-"

She turned around but found Milo gone.

"There's a Gold Saint?"

"Not anymore," she muttered in relief, only to hear an explosion. Soon the ship is on flames. Apparently, the Pope knew this operation may fail, so he had a bomb planted on the ship. Even if he could not have Saori in his hands, she would die in the explosion.

"We have to jump," Seiya said.

"No," Saori shook her head in fear. "Not again. I can't go through with this."

The last time she fell overboard, she ended up in middle of nowhere and lost her memories.

"Saori-san," Seiya insisted, grabbing her hand. "Either we jump or we die."

"No!"

"My sister is gone," Seiya said, changing the subject. "We are going to find her, you and me."

"How?"

"We'll figure it out when we get you home."

"Seiya, I am not going to jump! I-" Before she could say anything more, Seiya pressed his lips against hers. After pulling away, he asked her, "Who's better looking? Me or Hyoga?"

"What?" Saori asked, stunned from Seiya's kiss.

Taking the chance, Seiya threw her overboard and jumped after her.
