I do not own Saint Seiya, nor its characters. This is purely fictin, so please don't sue me.



Okay, this is my frist attempt at a Saint Seiya fanfiction, even though I've been a fan of Saint Seiya since like I was 4 or 5, when I first saw it.

This is going to be a romance fanfiction, a pretty strange couple. Anyways, all you need to know for this fanfiction is that it takes place during the part where Athena/Saori woke up in the Underworld and she saw Virgo Saint Shaka beside her. And it'll start a bit before that, then it'll go beyond that. Have fun reading, and please be nice, this is my first Saint Seiya fanfiction, thanks.

Oh yeah, this story will have two chapters to it. They talk about the same thing, it's just that the POV's are different.

Until Death To Where You Are



Who can say for certain

Maybe you're still here

I feel you all around me

Your memories so clear Deep in the stillness

I can hear you speak

You're still an inspiration

Can it be

That you are mine

Forever love

And you are watching over me from up above Fly me up to where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight

To see you smile

If only for awhile to know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are Are you gently sleeping

Here inside my dream

And isn't faith believing

All power can't be seen As my heart holds you

Just one beat away

I cherish all you gave me everyday

'Cause you are mine

Forever love

Watching me from up above And I believe

That angels breathe

And that love will live on and never leave Fly me up

To where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight

To see you smile

If only for awhile

To know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are I know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are

"..." = talking '...' = thinking



*Saori's Point of View*





The flower petals flew in front of me, across my face. Softly drifting away to wherever...

I knew... at that moment, that he... had left me too. Standing up, I took out the dagger that I have prepared. Again, the soft pink flower petals appeared in my mind. With a sigh, I turned and looked out the windows up towards the darkened sky.

'You have left me too... what is there more to this life?'

I remember the time that we first met in your garden, it was like a dream to me. You are wearing all white, long golden hair floating behind you, your closed eyes and the soft smile on your lips. I was mesmerized... you seemed to shine at that moment. It seemed as if you were the one that's the God, and I'm the one that's the Saint.

I looked towards the door, knowing that my fate is coming. Perhaps I will see you again. No! I will see you again.

'Wait for me....'





The next moment of my life flashed by my eyes, Saga showed up. Then the dagger. Then arguing. Then me taking my own life and feeling myself slip away from the world. In my life... the first time, I am calm. Never had I imagined that I'd be seeing you so soon.....











[Underworld]









With a sigh, I tried opening my eyes, everything around me is dark. My whole body ached, I don't want to wake up.

"Saori... Athena, are you awake?"

A soft voice drifted in my ears, my body tensed up. That voice... so familiar.... yet, so far away. I don't want to open my eyes, I don't want this to be a dream.

"Are you all right?"

I can't hide away from him, opening my eyes millimeter by millimeter, I was looking into orbs of light blue. He eyes are open, but the smile is not gone from from his face.

Slowly I sat up and faced him, he- the man cloeset to God. He looks like a God for sure.

I tried standing up, he moved in closer gracefully and helped me up. Then he dropped his hands nonchalantely. I looked at him, not understanding any of this.

"Why don't you say something?"

Silence, he just looked at me, then turned his head away. That simple action pained me, knife stabbed me in the heart.

"Why don't you want to leave me at least a bit pain?"

Silence. I closed my eyes as I felt hot tears threatened to fall. Then a huge power reached both of us as we turned and looked towards nothing but blackness

"It's the Athena Cloth... it has awakened." I said, hardly containing the nervousness from my voice.

"Saga.... they are already here."

I remained silent, not knowing what to say.

"We should go now." He said calmly and I nodded, looking around us. Nothing but darkness.

"But.... where should we go? It's black everywhere."

"I don't know.... I think we could follow the river, until we can feel the cosmos of Hades. Maybe, this road is going to be dangerous, after all, this is the Underworld. Even though Hades cannot control you and I, but we will run into problems along the way. No matter what happens, or where we are. I will always be with you.... Miss Saori....."

The underworld, a place where no more dreams are left, their hands joined together.....



****This endless road accompanied, this love is shown with out words****





All the hardships, all the lingers, all the pains.... no matter how long the road is, there's always an end.

The end is the end of the underworld, the wailing wall. The black wall that separates the underworld from Elysion. A place many loves, but also fears.

I hear his cries beside my ears, telling me not to go. But... how can I not go? Hades took over Shun's body, if Hades wins... the world will be doomed. As the Goddess that sworn to protect this Earth, I have to go.



Without looking back, I followed Hades across the wailing wall and into Elysion, leaving behind the man that had awakened my deepest feelings....

A battle is underway, I can feel his cosmos burning. Then all I can see is a blinding golden light, breaking through the wailing wall... then Seiya's face... not his...

He has already gaven me everything, and maybe... someday I will see him again....

............................................................................ ..............................................................



That's the end to Saori/Athena's part... I'm pretty sure that by now you know who the 'he' is, right? Good, now onto his part.





Thanks for reading, please R&R.
