Saint Seiya Confessions
Chapter Twenty-Six: The Lioness and The Tiger
I don't own Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas
Dohko's P.O.V.
By: Gemini Owl

In my youth, I would be called in this day and age as reckless and unruly which is true. I still am. I miss many of my old comrades from the eighteenth century especially Cassandra or Cass as everyone called her back then. Yes, she was Siria Fireheart's Master.

Cass was a few years older than I was, but she's kind to everyone even to those who stood against Athena. Cass always showed mercy and kindness to everyone which was what attracted me to her in the first place.

Of course, Cass never told me about our daughters, but I will save that tale for another time. I love Cass and I still do.

~Flashback~

I still remember the sunset, when Cass, myself, Aldebaran, Shion, and Mew(Cass's Bengal cat) were watching the sunset. I could see Cass watching me shyly which I found to be odd. I figure she would tell me once she was ready. I kind of knew what it was about but I didn't believe Shion when he told me.

The minute the sunset and Shion and Aldebaran were out of earshot and sight did Cass speak up,

"Dohko, can I talk to you about something?" I saw her face burning up.

I just smiled at her and nodded.

Cass smiled adorably and blurted so fast,

"Dohko, I have a crush on you."

I only smiled knowingly and hugged Cass and whispered,

"I know, Shion told me but I didn't believe him."

I watched as she blushed a deep red as she asked shyly,

"Do you like me too?"

I nodded yes and hugged her tightly.

We spent the entire night on the rooftop of Libra to get to know each other which made me smile. I learned a lot from my little lioness and I'm pretty sure she learned a lot from me.

We spent every waking moment with each other whenever duty allowed. I enjoyed being with my lioness and I know she enjoyed spending time with me as well.

I remember one night she appeared outside of Libra to let me know, she was going on a mission for five months and she'll be back. I didn't question her. I just watch as my lioness disappears into the fading light.

Five months went by, only Lionet Cloth returned along with twins girls who couldn't be any older than a few hours old. I learned their names were Oceania and Eclipse Nobleheart. Pope Sage raised the two girls as his own.

I later found out Cassandra died protecting the young ones and it was Master Hakurei who told about the girls being mine.

~End Flashback~

I still love my lioness and my girls and I always will. I keep a picture of them in my home and Libra. My girls.

I have to go now because I hear Aashirya fussing.

End of this chapter!
