hey!
so this fic shifts between Seiya's pov and the girl's (Gal) pov.
here is the next part of the fic:
note: the *** during the flashback show a change of place (sick room to waiting room, you'll get what I mean when you read that part)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Gal:
The first thing I feel as I wake is the fact that I'm lying on my back. It's not the first time but it's a bit like cheating. Oh, I forgot: I used the test as an excuse to run away. Still there is always the danger of a sunburn...sun? Where *is* the sun? How come I'm in the shade? Was the test all a dream?
I sit up, sit? I am on solid floor?
"Hello, how are you feeling?" I turn my head to the person who just spoke. He isn't very tall; he has short brown hair and brown eyes. He looks rather concerned, if not worried.
"I'm fine" I reassure him. Funny when the teacher told me that Japanese would come in handy I almost laughed straight in his face. But as it was the only language (except my native thong) that I had to learn I eventually did. Now I thank the gods for it. "Where am I?"
"You're on my boat, you almost drowned, you know?"
I did? No way! I would have woken up if I had started drowning!
"I was just sleeping sir, there was no danger"
"You could have swallowed water!"
Oh, so that's the problem! "I'm not one of *those* sir. I'm one of the specials!" Hey, I can be proud of myself, can't I? Why doesn't he say anything though?
"Yes, I know: I'm two years early but I knew everything else so they *had* to let me pass the test" I answer to his unasked question.
"You'll tell me all about it later. Now you have to sleep."
"But I just woke up!"
"Whatever..." and he closed the door.
I have to get out of here! Once the man will figure out who I am,
especially now that I told him where I'm supposed to be, he'll force me to go back home! I just hope that he didn't lock the door...
Seiya:
"So, how is she?"
"She's fine. She seems surprised that she's not in the water anymore. She talked about some kind of test and being two years early. It doesn't make sense!"
"She's probably still confused, give her some time" isn't my sister great. I mean; she always has an explanation for everything. I'm so happy that I'm with her again; it took us most of the time until now to get to know each other again. And we still learn.
This whole trip's purpose was that we'd get closer. Still, the way we treat and talk to each other is mostly back to what it was before we left the orphanage. Not the semi-formal, tense, way we were when we first met again...
~Flashback~
"What a headache!"
He was in a hospital room (which wasn't very unusual). By the bribes of memories and the number of machines he was connected to, he could safely assume that there was a fight and that, like countless other times, he was brought in unconscious.
He was too tired and hurt to be able to think much further so he let himself drift back to sleep.
***
"I wasn't to get in, please!"
"I'm sorry but we can't allow anyone in yet. You'll have to wait like everybody else." the doctor answered. He sighed: women could be very persistent.
"But I'm 'family', I'm his sister!"
"And you too, I suppose?" He asked the other, almost identical girl.
"No, I'm just a friend." She replied.
The doctor was startled; the two girls were like twins, if it wasn't for their eyes. "Well, it doesn't make a difference. No visits until he is out of emergency!"
The brown-eyed girl was close to tears; she hadn't seen her brother for over six years and even if no one thought that his state was critical she still worried.
The other girl tried to reassure her: "Calm down Seika, at the rate he's healing you'll be able to see him in a day or two at most."
***
The next time he woke up was more than twenty four hours later. This time his thoughts were a lot clearer and the first thing he asked was
"How come I'm alive?"
"Because you didn't die after taking that sword in you chest. The doctors call you a medical impossibility." Answered a masculine voice from somewhere at his right.
"How did you get in? I thought that visits weren't allowed." Asked a new voice, this time from the door's general direction.
"I walked in from my room. It seems that the doctors didn't expect us to be up so fast"
"Uh Shiryu, I think that we should leave them alone" proposed a third voice, still from the door. "Good to know that you made it out alive Seiya, talk to you later!" And they exited, leaving him alone with his sister.
The looked at each other but it seemed that none of them knew what to say. Seiya was very talkative most of the time but he couldn't think of anything fitting. What *could* he say? 'I missed you'? 'Where have you been'? 'I've been looking for you'?
He finally decided that it was just easier to let her make the first move: "Hi Seika, long time no see, huh?"
She was sitting next to his bed by now and smiled at him.
"Welcome back to the world of the living Seiya" She replied.
Despite the casual talk, the atmosphere was still very tense. The situation was really awkward: they've been looking for each other for over six years and now that they have finally found each other they were like total strangers.
It was as if they were meeting for the first time in their lives. Still, they both hoped that, with time, they would be able to bring the old friendship and complicity back.
It was Seiya who broke the silence again: "so you've met Marine, huh? I bet that she only told you mean stuff about me. I'll fix that later though; I'd rather you told me your story. You know, I've been looking for you ever since I've finished training. At one point I was so desperate that I thought Marine was you!"
"Well, we do look very much alike and as for where I have been, well" she paused "it's a long story. Do you want to hear a summary or the full version?"
He laughed at that comment, "Well, I'd rather hear your story in full
details as I've got no one after my neck and even if I'd want to the docs won't let me get out of bed."
"Has that ever stopped you before?" She remembered all too well some of their childhood days.
"No, but it's a good excuse and besides, anything that'll cover the beeping of these stupid machines is more than welcome!"
She laughed. Laughing was good; it made them both feel better. "Well, you asked for it so don't complain or 'neechan won't tell you stories anymore" She always used that phrase to make him shut-up when they were kids.
"I promise I'll be nice" He replied in a childish voice "now on with the story!"
~End flashback~
She told me how she had followed me to the Kido mansion and who, when she heard I was going to Greece, she hid on the ship where I was. She told me how she followed me until she fell into that crevasse –
Wait a second; what's that?
"And where are *you* going?" My sister reacted faster than me, figures.
The little girl was obviously trying to get off the boat without us
noticing.
"I have to get back, you see. The teacher will think I cheated and..."
That was obviously not the whole truth, but it wasn't completely a lie either. She looks really scared!
"I think that you'd better try to explain so we can help you."
"All right. But don't tell anyone that I was here and don't force me to go back!"
So she ran away from home, that explains a lot. But not why she was floating on her stomach when I found her.
"We promise"
"OK. See, I'm from Yii and I'm supposedly taking the Final Test but I kinda used it as an excuse to run away"

I'll try to get the next part out soon!
