KNIGHTS OF THE ZODIAC
TIME TO REUNITE?
"Oh my where is she?" Sienna exclaimed.
"Some place called Reaching Valley, but she needs to get the bronze, silver, and gold cloth of Viper, her mother made a sacrifice to keep her daughter alive, and Alexandrea is returning that favor," Amber finished.
"Then there's no way to get to her, if she's training she should best be left alone."
~*Reaching Valley*~
Alexandrea trained, she trained for one year's time, and she got the bronze cloth of Viper, now she must compete and get silver and gold. Alexandrea had really started to miss Shun, the way his voice rang in her ears, his soft laugh, his caring smile, and his gentle personality. She would wipe the floor with anyone who got in her way, but would she wipe up the floor with Shun or tie the knot?
~*Shun's Dream*~
Alexandrea came back to him, in just a dream, but who said dreams never came true? Shun embraced Alexandrea as she came to him. He knew this was the day, the day she *would* come back to him.
~*Normal POV*~
Shun woke up, Alexandrea started to collect everything she needed to go home, and that was the cloth, just the cloth.
Alexandrea hiked back up through the mountains, and went through the river, and after eight hours of intense walking she made it to Amber's door.
"Alexandrea!!!!!!! You're home you're finally home!!!!" tears streamed down her face.
"Yes, Amber, I am home," she gave Amber a quick hug and asked to use the phone.
"Amber, do you know Shun's number?"
"Yeah," Amber dialed the phone and handed it to Alexandrea, Amber had a wide grin on her face.
Alexandrea took the phone and took off the box that held the cloth of Viper in it.
"Alex, what's that?" Amber was eyeing the box strangely.
"It's my cloth, I'm going to compete."
"Really?"
"Yeah-Hi Shun!" Alexandrea said into the phone.
"Alexandrea? Is that really you?" Shun asked in disbelief.
"You bet!"
"Alex, where are you, I must see you."
"I'm at Amber's house."
"Well I'm coming!"
"Wait, I have to go, so I'll see you then, but right now could you talk you Amber about coming over?" Alexandrea said in one breath as she handed the phone to Amber, "Amber do you mind if I go take a shower?"
"Do I mind, girl you stink! Take some of my clothes," Amber said to Alexandrea, "Hi Shun."
"Can I come over, I really want to see Alex."
"Of course Shun, call Hyoga, Shiryu and Seiya, maybe they can come too if they want."
"Ok so I'll see you later," Amber hung up the phone and waited for Alexandrea. While she was waiting she decided to watch T.V. The phone rang again; Amber picked it up, "Hello?"
"Hey, Amber, they can all come, they're already at my house, Hyoga stop grabbing, wait your turn man, fine you can talk to her."
"Hi Amber," it was Hyoga voice, Amber started to blush as a long, awkward silence took over.
"Gimme that Hyoga," the phone was grabbed away by Shiryu.
"I can't wait to meet her," Shiryu said, "The girl of Shun's desire."
"Shiryu! Come on!" Amber heard arguing over the phone.
"Well, I gotta go Amber, but here you can talk to pretty boy while he changes."
"Shiryu don't do that, I'm trying to change," Hyoga's voice came over the phone.
"Hey guys I have to go check on Alex, so I'll see you at one?"
"Sure," Shun voice was faint but she heard it and hung up.
"Alex, how are you doing?"
"Fine," she came down the stairs, wearing all black.
"Alex, black isn't your colour," Amber was looking at her outfit.
"Sure it is," Alexandrea walked outside with Amber following.
"Shun and the others are coming."
"Okay," Alexandrea sat down on the steps as she looked up and down her street, it had been so long since she had seen it, "My house? Where is it?"
Amber pointed to where a heaping pile of rubble lay, "Alex, I'm so sorry about your house, the city torn it down since you were gone so long, but you can stay and live with me."
"I'm glad the house is gone, it has too many bad memories, but my mom's body, did they give her a proper funeral?"
"Yes, they did they honored her with many gifts."
"Could I possibly visit her?"
"Yeah, I'll take you there once Shun, Hyoga, Shiryu, and Seiya get here."
"Who are Shiryu and Seiya?"
"They're knights like Shun and Hyoga."
"Oh," a cab pulled up to Amber's house.
Hyoga got out first, "Thanks dude," he said to the driver, "We owe ya, hey Amber, Alexandrea."
Shiryu and Seiya got out next, followed by Shun.
"Alex, it's you, it's really you, I've missed you so much!" Shun said.
"That's Shiryu and that's Seiya," Hyoga said pointing to each of them.
"Hi," Alexandrea said.
"So you're the girl that Shun loves, he's got good taste," Seiya said absently.
Shiryu elbowed him in the ribs, "Nice to meet you," Shiryu extended a hand Alexandrea shook it.
"Hey you guys, why don't you come in," Amber said.
Everyone went inside before Amber locked the door.
"Do you guys want anything to drink?"
"Sure, I'll have coke," Hyoga said. (A/N: got sick because of drinking that)
"Me too," Seiya said.
"OJ is fine for me," Shiryu responded.
"Just plain water is good," Shun said.
"Alex, anything for you?"
"No thanks," Alexandrea was concentrating on how to get the cloth somewhere where they wouldn't see it.
Shun followed the direction Alexandrea's eyes were in, "Alexandrea, is that what I think it is?" he asked.
"Depends what it is," she replied calmly, taking her eyes of her cloth.
"That," he pointed to cloth, which made everyone turn to see what it was.
"I dunno," Alexandrea said.
"Wait," Shiryu went over to it for a closer look, "That's the bronze cloth of Viper!" he exclaimed.
"Alexandrea," Hyoga started, "You're competing?"
"Yes," Alexandrea turned her head toward the ground, she didn't know why, but she was ashamed.
"Don't be sad, being a knight is a great honor," Shun said softly.
Alexandrea looked up at him, "You're right, I guess it is, but if I'm in the tournament, I'm going to have to battle you."
"No you won't," Shun said.
"What do you mean?"
Amber took Hyoga, Shiryu and Seiya with her into the kitchen, "Shhh."
"I mean, when you left it took so much out of me, I just had to withdraw."
"Shun no! how could you do that? You shouldn't have done that, and, and."
Shun put a finger to her lips, "Shhh, it's alright, I did it because I was so tired, I stayed up day and night searching for you."
"No, it's not alright, I am not worth that trouble. I want you to come with me and get back in."
"You're right, you weren't worth that trouble, I should have tried harder, because you're worth more than that."
"Shun," Alexandrea gave up and put her head on his shoulder, "Thank you."
Shun embraced her tightly, "That doesn't matter anymore, what matters is that you are here, with me," he reached for his pocket and pulled out a box.
Amber stuck her head out to see what was happening, as did Seiya, Shiryu and Hyoga.
"Alexandrea, this is for you," he gave the box to her and she opened it.
It was a gold necklace with 'Alexandrea' written in handwriting on the front.
"Shun! Thank you," she kissed him.
He kissed her back and helped her get the necklace on.
"Aww."
Shun and Alexandrea turned to see who said that, Amber, Shiryu, Seiya, and Hyoga were all watching.
"How much of that did you see?" Alexandrea asked.
"Just where you guys kissed," Seiya replied.
"Seiya! We didn't see anything!" Shiryu blushed.
"Hey you look kind of cute when you do that," Alexandrea said to Shiryu.
"When I do what?" he touched his cheeks they were burning, Alexandrea giggled.
"Ahem," Shun directed her attention back on him.
"Aww, you want a compliment too?"
Shun blushed, Alexandrea kissed him, "You always look cute."
"Okay, enough of this, you guys are way too sappy!" Seiya said.
"Alright, just for today," Alexandrea replied.
"Hey what do you guys want to do now?" Amber asked out of curiosity.
"Alex, why don't you try on that cloth?" Shiryu asked
"You mean the bronze cloth of Viper?"
"Yeah," he replied.
Alexandrea took a deep breath, "Alright."
"Wait, you guys if she doesn't want to we should force her," Hyoga reasoned.
"Since when were you Mr. Sensitive?" Amber asked playfully.
"Since you came in my life."
Amber blushed, "Oh yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Do you want to try it on?" Shiryu asked.
"Well, I guess I could," Alexandrea opened the box, she had never put it on before. A beam of light struck her body, as the cloth put itself on, Alexandrea felt so powerful, something inside her awoke, and she was whole again. The loss of her mother didn't bother her anymore for the moment she had the cloth on.
"Alex, that looks amazing," Amber said in awe.
"How about we test that?" Seiya asked, ready to fight.
"You know I'll beat you," Alexandrea said energized.
"Oh really?"
"Really."
"Dude you don't even have *your* cloth, how are you going to beat her?" Hyoga asked.
"No problem," Seiya turned to Alexandrea, "Let's make a bet, if I win you become my girlfriend for a day."
"And if I win, you never make a stupid bet like that again," Alexandrea turned to Shun to reassure him that she would win.
"Guys, no fighting in here!!" Amber yelled.
"Fine, we'll go outside," Seiya said.
Seiya and Alexandrea both went outside, followed by everyone else.
"Let's start this," Alexandrea said calmly.
"Right," Seiya replied.
'Time to put those moves to good use,' Alexandrea thought.
Seiya had tried to throw a punch at Alexandrea, but missed, Alexandrea just moved her head to the left, dodging it like it was nothing, "Sorry Seiya, but I have no choice but to do this," Seiya was running up to her, ready to give her a hard kick, but she went on her hands and swung her feet upward, knocking him to the ground.
"Guess break dancing does come in handy," Alexandrea looked up.
"Wanna fight dirty eh?"
"Nah, I just want to win."
"Ha, you'll see," Seiya and Alexandrea stood there, neither making a move, waiting for the other to attack first. Seiya being impatient, tried to kick Alexandrea, but ended in failure. (A/N: Ok I know I don't know much, but I know Seiya is impatient right? And for that part in the first chapter where it says Hyoga is 'hyper' why don't we change that to outgoing alright?)
Alexandrea tried one of her high jumps adding a kick at the end, which sent Seiya flying backwards.
"You fight well," Seiya said wiping some blood off his mouth, "For a girl," he said smirking.
"Three words, you're going down," Alexandrea gave him thumbs down.
Seiya got back up, this time he would wait for her to attack, so to defend himself better, "Don't forget, you're my girlfriend."
"If you win, which you won't!"
"Ah, but ask yourself this, who has more experience?"
"Who has their cloth?"
"Pegasus meteor punch!"
Alexandrea tried to dodge it but it hit her full force, 'what the heck is happening?' it was like nothing she'd ever felt before, 'I can't be his girlfriend!' Alexandrea moaned in agony as she hit the ground, she couldn't let Seiya win, not yet, not ever.
"Did you like that? Cuz there's more where that came from," Seiya said.
"Well actually," Alexandrea looked up everything was blurry, it looked like it had a crowd around them, but she couldn't tell, "That was pretty good. Now just out of curiosity, and if you just happened to win, where would you take me for our first date?"
Seiya went pink, he hadn't thought of that yet, "Maybe for a nice, *romantic* dinner?"
"Yeah sure, keep dreaming," Alexandrea ran dead straight and gave Seiya a nice double kick.
"Pegasus meteor punch!" It hit Alexandrea without warning, she had no time to dodge it, and she was knocked to the ground, unable to move.
Shun was horror-struck, Alexandrea was going to be Seiya's girlfriend for a day, why did he let her fight?
"Alexandrea, are you ok?" Shun got on his knees trying to lift her up and carry her inside.
"Yeah, I'm fine, thank you for letting me fight, Shun."
Shun walked in Amber house without a word, she had thanked him for letting her fight. He laid her down on the couch, took off her cloth, and put it back in the box.
"Wait, Shun, she's your girlfriend, it's not right if I take her away from you," Seiya said seeing the love for Alexandrea in Shun's eyes.
"Thank you Seiya," Shun said.
"Am I just an object to you, Seiya? We had a bet, now you handing me back to Shun...like a bottle of water? You'll see, I'll be your girlfriend," she looked towards Shun, "Shun, please, you let me fight, let me do this. I may not know Seiya well, but someone like him should be taught a lesson. Shun remember, I love you."
"Alex, what if you develop feelings for Seiya? You guys are both my friends I don't want anything to happen to you guys."
"I will never love Seiya, but I promise after this we'll begin again, on different terms ok?"
"Ok Alex."
"Cool, what do you say about that Alex? You're my girlfriend!"
"I say, this," she slapped him across the face.
"What was that for?" he touched his burning cheek.
"Ahem," Alexandrea crossed her arms over her chest.
"I wasn't-" he realized everyone was watching, and took Alexandrea to a more private place.
"I wasn't looking there!" Seiya protested.
"Uh, yes you were," Alexandrea shot back.
"Alex, I wouldn't do that," Seiya said.
"Well, guess what you just did," Alexandrea said offended.
"Wait as your boyfriend, don't I get the right to do that?"
"No, because you aren't my real boyfriend, do you know why I chose Shun? He kind, sensitive, and caring, besides he would never do that."
"Ahh, so you do love Shun."
Alexandrea started to blush, "Um, yeah."
"I knew you guys would be like this, all protective of each other," Seiya gave a knowing look.
"What do you mean?"
"I was trying to test your love for Shun and vice versa, seems you too have a deep relationship."
"Seiya, you, you, you..." Alexandrea couldn't think of anything to say. She was mad at him for doing that, but also thankful, she now knew that Shun truly loved her. Alexandrea gave Seiya a small hug and walked out the door, "Seiya, this is our little secret."
Both waked out the door. Seeing the look on Shun's face, Alexandrea went to tell him it was alright, and Seiya had called off the bet.
Shun turned to Seiya, "Thank you," a look of gratitude shone in his eyes as Alexandrea gave him a big hug and kiss.
"I finally have my girl back, nothing will ever separate us again."
Alexandrea blushed, "Oh Shun. It was a year ago that you stole my heart, and now, now," Alexandrea fell into Shun's arms giving him another hug.
She whispered in his ear, "Now, you've got me for an eternity."
Shun blushed, "Alex, tell me you will never leave me again."
"I will never leave you again, Shun."
"Hey you love birds, don't you guys still need to enter the contest for the cloth?" Hyoga stated.
"Could I rest first? I'm feeling a little weak from the journey and battle."
"Of course, lay down and get some rest," Shun pulled her back, allowing her to rest.
Alexandrea fell into a deep sleep, dreaming of her and her mom having a girls' night out, laughing, joking, talking.
"So Alex, do you have a boyfriend yet?"
"Mom!"
"Do you?"
"Yes."
"Oh, is that it? He mustn't be very good then."
"He's a shy character," Alexandrea felt her pouring all of this out to her mom, "and very sweet. He would do anything for me-"
"Is he a good kisser?"
"MOM!!! I don't know!"
"You should find out," Alexandrea's mom said calmly.
A bullet shot Alexandrea's mom, and their conversation was over. Blood was pouring out onto the couch as Alexandrea desperately tried to stop the unstoppable bleeding. Her hands were covered in blood, her face was covered in crystalline tears, and her mom lay dead in her arms.
Alexandrea woke up, there was something wet on her cheeks, tears. Shun started to wipe them away, "It's alright Alex, it was just a dream," he said soothing her fears.
"Just a dream." she repeated, "I must go, " Alexandrea leapt up from Shun, she had to save her mother.
"Oh no you don't," Seiya put a hand on her shoulder, holding her back.
Shiryu sat on a reclining chair, looking knowledgeable, "We're not losing you again, Alex."
Alexandrea looked back at her friends, and smiled, she saw the look on Shun's face, "Shun I'm just going to register, wanna come?"
A look of relief washed upon Shun's face "Sure."
Hyoga walked up to them, ready to go with them, "Hyoga they need some alone time," Shiryu said watching wisely.
"Awww, but I wanted to go," he said sarcastically.
Alexandrea mouthed, "Thank you, Shiryu," to him, which made him blush.
"Shiryu, I think you need some alone time," Hyoga shot back, seeing him blush.
Amber and Seiya laughed. Shiryu got up and walked around, "I believe it's you and Amber who need time," Hyoga blushed.
"Shiryu buddy," Hyoga said through gritted teeth, "We'll talk later."
Amber giggled, "Anyone want pizza?"
RS: well guys, that's it for now. Will Shun and Alex kiss? Will they order pizza? Will Hyoga and Shiryu fight? Or will Seiya just laugh at them? What ever happens you can't miss it, on another episode of, Reality Has A Way With Love!
Sapphire: blah, blah, blah, get on with it!

"No, it's not alright, I am not worth that trouble. I want you to come with me and get back in."
"You're right, you weren't worth that trouble, I should have tried harder, because you're worth more than that."
"Shun," Alexandrea gave up and put her head on his shoulder, "Thank you."
Shun embraced her tightly, "That doesn't matter anymore, what matters is that you are here, with me," he reached for his pocket and pulled out a box.

"Pegasus meteor punch!" It hit Alexandrea without warning, she had no time to dodge it, and she was knocked to the ground, unable to move.
Shun was horror-struck, Alexandrea was going to be Seiya's girlfriend for a day, why did he let her fight?
"Alexandrea, are you ok?" Shun got on his knees trying to lift her up and carry her inside.
"Yeah, I'm fine, thank you for letting me fight, Shun."
Shun walked in Amber house without a word, she had thanked him for letting her fight. He laid her down on the couch, took off her cloth, and put it back in the box.
"Wait, Shun, she's your girlfriend, it's not right if I take her away from you," Seiya said seeing the love for Alexandrea in Shun's eyes.
"Thank you Seiya," Shun said.
"Am I just an object to you, Seiya? We had a bet, now you handing me back to Shun...like a bottle of water? You'll see, I'll be your girlfriend," she looked towards Shun, "Shun, please, you let me fight, let me do this. I may not know Seiya well, but someone like him should be taught a lesson. Shun remember, I love you."
"Alex, what if you develop feelings for Seiya? You guys are both my friends I don't want anything to happen to you guys."
"I will never love Seiya, but I promise after this we'll begin again, on different terms ok?"
"Ok Alex."
"Cool, what do you say about that Alex? You're my girlfriend!"
"I say, this," she slapped him across the face.
"What was that for?" he touched his burning cheek.
"Ahem," Alexandrea crossed her arms over her chest.
"I wasn't-" he realized everyone was watching, and took Alexandrea to a more private place.
"I wasn't looking there!" Seiya protested.
"Uh, yes you were," Alexandrea shot back.
"Alex, I wouldn't do that," Seiya said.
"Well, guess what you just did," Alexandrea said offended.
"Wait as your boyfriend, don't I get the right to do that?"
"No, because you aren't my real boyfriend, do you know why I chose Shun? He kind, sensitive, and caring, besides he would never do that."
"Ahh, so you do love Shun."
Alexandrea started to blush, "Um, yeah."
"I knew you guys would be like this, all protective of each other," Seiya gave a knowing look.
"What do you mean?"
"I was trying to test your love for Shun and vice versa, seems you too have a deep relationship."
"Seiya, you, you, you..." Alexandrea couldn't think of anything to say. She was mad at him for doing that, but also thankful, she now knew that Shun truly loved her. Alexandrea gave Seiya a small hug and walked out the door, "Seiya, this is our little secret."
Both waked out the door. Seeing the look on Shun's face, Alexandrea went to tell him it was alright, and Seiya had called off the bet.
Shun turned to Seiya, "Thank you," a look of gratitude shone in his eyes as Alexandrea gave him a big hug and kiss.
"I finally have my girl back, nothing will ever separate us again."
Alexandrea blushed, "Oh Shun. It was a year ago that you stole my heart, and now, now," Alexandrea fell into Shun's arms giving him another hug.
She whispered in his ear, "Now, you've got me for an eternity."
Shun blushed, "Alex, tell me you will never leave me again."
"I will never leave you again, Shun."
"Hey you love birds, don't you guys still need to enter the contest for the cloth?" Hyoga stated.
"Could I rest first? I'm feeling a little weak from the journey and battle."
"Of course, lay down and get some rest," Shun pulled her back, allowing her to rest.
Alexandrea fell into a deep sleep, dreaming of her and her mom having a girls' night out, laughing, joking, talking.
"So Alex, do you have a boyfriend yet?"
"Mom!"
"Do you?"
"Yes."
"Oh, is that it? He mustn't be very good then."
"He's a shy character," Alexandrea felt her pouring all of this out to her mom, "and very sweet. He would do anything for me-"
"Is he a good kisser?"
"MOM!!! I don't know!"
"You should find out," Alexandrea's mom said calmly.
A bullet shot Alexandrea's mom, and their conversation was over. Blood was pouring out onto the couch as Alexandrea desperately tried to stop the unstoppable bleeding. Her hands were covered in blood, her face was covered in crystalline tears, and her mom lay dead in her arms.
Alexandrea woke up, there was something wet on her cheeks, tears. Shun started to wipe them away, "It's alright Alex, it was just a dream," he said soothing her fears.
"Just a dream." she repeated, "I must go, " Alexandrea leapt up from Shun, she had to save her mother.
"Oh no you don't," Seiya put a hand on her shoulder, holding her back.
Shiryu sat on a reclining chair, looking knowledgeable, "We're not losing you again, Alex."
Alexandrea looked back at her friends, and smiled, she saw the look on Shun's face, "Shun I'm just going to register, wanna come?"
A look of relief washed upon Shun's face "Sure."
Hyoga walked up to them, ready to go with them, "Hyoga they need some alone time," Shiryu said watching wisely.
"Awww, but I wanted to go," he said sarcastically.
Alexandrea mouthed, "Thank you, Shiryu," to him, which made him blush.
"Shiryu, I think you need some alone time," Hyoga shot back, seeing him blush.
Amber and Seiya laughed. Shiryu got up and walked around, "I believe it's you and Amber who need time," Hyoga blushed.
"Shiryu buddy," Hyoga said through gritted teeth, "We'll talk later."
Amber giggled, "Anyone want pizza?"
RS: well guys, that's it for now. Will Shun and Alex kiss? Will they order pizza? Will Hyoga and Shiryu fight? Or will Seiya just laugh at them? What ever happens you can't miss it, on another episode of, Reality Has A Way With Love!
