Yes…that was a sad/humorous chapter, huh? Well, I hope you guys *hears crickets * will continue reading this. As I promised, it will get better. You'll see.

(P.S. At some parts it will switch to Seiya's point of view, or my point of view.)



World of Music and Confusion



Chapter 11: When You look at the World



****





A wisp of smoke floated in the dark, cold room and disappeared in a few moments. After that, more came. Jordan was lying on a dungeon floor staring into the dark with a cigarette almost hanging from her lips.

As the smoke sprouted from the end, she "twirled" her finger in it, and it curled around it. She gave a small blow and it floated away.

She closed her eyes.

"Your…love…is better then ice cream, better then anything else then I've tried…"

She heard a faint echo in the dungeon hallway.



"…everybody knows how to cry…"





Foot steps were heard clopping on the floor. The door squeaked open and a man stepped in.

"Miss Jordan, it's time."

Jordan laid there for a few seconds then she slowly got up. She took one last blow, and threw the cigarette at the man's shoe, then nodded. The man look disgusted but motioned her to follow him.

Two guards led her through a clear red tinted marble hallway. Jordan's eyes only looked straight forward, and not even blinking. As they came near the end, several Kimoku leaders faced her, sitting down on a big, gold armchair.

"Jordan…" One of them said. "Are you aware that you had made an illegal attempt to kidnap one of Kinmoku's highest soldiers?"

Jordan said nothing. She just stared.

Another one cleared its throat. "Jordan, are you aware what's the consequences of doing that matter?"

Jordan nodded slowly.

Everyone looked at each other.

"There will be a reason for your doing."

"No there will be not." Jordan said,

"Yes, there will be."

"Kiss my ass."

They sighed. "Jordan, you are assigned to be…"

Jordan did not listen. She closed her eyes tight, and bowed her head.

'Seiya…' She thought. '….do not forget the fact you are going to meet the one true person you love…and do not let anything hold you back from it….'

Kakyuu stood next to a large window, and the sunlight beamed on her. Her face was flushed, like she was almost about to cry. The door suddenly opened and Yaten and Taiki ran in. Kakyuu motion them to stop.

"Kakyuu..." Yaten said.

She put her finger to her lips. "There's no need to explain. I know."

"But, Seiya-" Taiki began.

Kakyuu turned her head around. She walked toward them slowly, bringing her red heel sliding across the floor.

When she stopped a foot away from them, her tears finally came out.

Three of them, without saying anything, hugged each other tightly, as if a big destruction was coming. All wept, and sniffed, and their grip was tight.

"We know…we know where he went for…" Taiki mumbled.

Yaten sniffed in Kakyuu's shoulder. "What's going to happen to Jordan- sama?"

Kakyuu looked up slowly. "I do not know….but…" She hugged them tighter.

"Let's pray…for Seiya's safety."

They held on to each other for a long time, standing in airy silence, but what only contains fear, hope, and sadness.

As I bounced up and down dancing to the music, and having all the fun, a beep was heard. I "flew" to the exit, and checked the cockpit. I noticed out the window, was a large blue planet right in front of the ship.

It…was…

Earth.

I stood in awe about how big the planet was. When I first came here with Taiki and Yaten, we headed too fast right towards Japan without taking a good look at Earth. Now, it looked beautiful.



*

When you look at the world

What is it that you see

People find all kinds of things

That bring them to their knees



I see an expression

So clear and so true

That it changes the atmosphere

When you walk (in)to the room



*

The ship shook a bit was we neared the surface. I plopped down on the seat, and "seat belted" myself.

As I did that, I examined all the buttons and saw an interesting one. Without thinking, I pushed the button, and it seemed the whole ship erupted with the song I was dancing to.

Cool!



*

So I try to be like you

Try to feel it like you do

But without you it's no use

I can't see what you see

When I look at the world



When the night is someone else's

And you're trying to get some sleep

When your thoughts are too expensive

To ever want to keep



*



As I neared earth and the ship shook more, I began to think of Usagi. How wonderful would it be if I see her now.

I would, wouldn't I?

I keep gazing at the planet.



*

When there's all kinds of chaos

And everyone is walking lame

You don't even blink now do you

Or even look away



So I try to be like you

Try to feel it like you do

But without you it's no use

I can't see what you see

When I look at the world



I can't wait any longer

I can't wait 'til I'm stronger

Can't wait any longer

To see what you see

When I look at the world

*



It should be ok. It should be alright. What about Kinmoku and the others? Would I see it again? Would I see them again? Should I never find odango?

Do I think too much??

The ship now rumbled so violently, and we neared the land. Very, very fast. I closed my eyes shut, expecting the ship to explode.

What a coward I am. But over the years, that's what I became to be.



*

I'm in the waiting room

I can't see for the smoke

I think of you and your holy book

When the rest of us choke

*

The ship, like a huge comet in the sky, flew across the starry sky, and landed on the edge of Tokyo. It made a pretty huge crater, and a small "explosion."

No one was there to see it.

No one except a person who stayed up night, and witnessed the whole thing right from the house.



Tell me, tell me

What do you see

Tell me, tell me

What's wrong with me
