KNIGHTS OF THE ZODIAC
DIAMOND IN THE OCEAN
"Higher Shun!" Alexandrea said excited. Shun pushed Alexandrea on a swing.
"No fair! It's my t-" Shun forgot Alexandrea was on the swing and well, he got knocked over.
"Oh my! Are you alright?" Alexandrea jumped off the swing that was already pretty high, she caught the chain in her hand to stop it from hitting him again.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Shun rubbed his head, "But the swing is mine now!!"
"Jeez..." Alexandrea sweatdropped.
Shun laughed, "Maybe it's time to go home Alex. Would you like to stay the night with me?" he asked testingly.
"Sure, let me call Amber though," Alexandrea whipped out her cellular phone
"Yo, Amber, sup girl?"
"Just talking to Hyoga about messing with water and cold," she said through gritted teeth.
Alexandrea distinctly heard Hyoga whimper, "Anyway, I'm gonna spend the night with Shun, alright?"
"What are you hoping to accomplish?"
"Nothing alright!" Alexandrea said that a little louder than she expected.
"Alright, say it's gonna be good weather tomorrow, wanna go to the beach?"
"Yeah, sure. I don't have a bathing suit though." Shun's ears perked up, intent on hearing the conversation, he cleared his throat.
Alexandrea covered the mouthpiece, "Wants to go to the beach," she told Shun.
On the other line, Amber was talking, "Oh, don't worry about that! I'll get you a bathing suit," a mischievous smile played across her lips.
"Make sure it's a one-piece," Alexandrea didn't have a desire to show off that much skin since she jumped out of the cold shower naked.
"You have nothing to worry about!"
"Amber!-" click, Amber hung up.
Amber was in a fit of giggles, "C'mon, Hyoga, we're going bikini shopping!"
Poor Hyoga.
"But, why?" he whined.
"Because Alexandrea needs one," Amber tugged at his arm.
"I liked it better when you were shy," he muttered.
"Huh? You say something? Maybe you should get one too."
"No need, I go surfing all the time, -I have my own-" he said flatly as he looked at her.
"Ok, you think I should get one?"
"Do you already have one?"
"Yeah, it's upstairs, wanna see it?"
"Sure, why not."
Amber went up the stairs. It took her awhile to find her one-piece but when she did she put it on quickly and dashed down the stairs.
She twirled in front of him, as he gaped at her.
"Dammit Hyoga," she said angrily, "Don't do that!"
"Do what?" he wiped the drool off his face.
"Stare at me like that!"
"But you're, you're... so..." he trailed off.
"So what?!"
"Er...nothing...LETS GO BIKINI SHOPPING!!!" (A/N: vvvverrrrryyyy OC!!!)
"Alrighty then!"
~*Shun's home*~
"Ikki we're home," Shun called up the stairs.
"We're?"
"Alex is gonna spend the night."
Alexandrea looked around nervously, even though she hadn't seen Ikki's expression yet, she knew he didn't want her with Shun right now.
"Dammit Shun, don't even know what's good for you yet," he muttered under his breath as he descended the stairs.
"I think I should go," Alexandrea whispered to Shun.
"Why?"
"I just have to," Alexandrea headed for the door.
"Going so soon? But you just got here," said Ikki in a fake concerned voice.
"Um, yeah, Amber and I are going shopping," Alexandrea was in fear, Ikki wasn't like this.
"Oh really? Well before you go, would you like something to drink?"
"No, I'm fine thanks," Alexandrea's hand was on the doorknob.
"Oh but I *insist*," he said abandoning the concerned voice and going into pure evil.
"O-ok," she said.
"Ikki STOP! She has to go right now! Just-just let her go," Shun yelled.
"Oh but she's your girlfriend, and that means that she's my *friend* too."
Alexandrea was now seriously scared, she though twice about just getting out of there. Though stopped herself, Ikki seemed very dangerous right now and if Shun was by himself he could get really hurt, and even if she did run out, Ikki would probably catch her.
"Ikki what's wrong with you?!" Shun's voice was small but loud.
"I don't want you seeing Alexandrea, she just using you."
"I am not!" Alexandrea yelled back.
"Yes you are!"
"No!"
"Yes"
"No-"
"Stop it!" "Ikki she'll go if you want her to but she's not using me-"
"Tell me Ikki, tell me what Esmeralda *liked* about you," Alexandrea cut Shun off.
"I was the only person on the island who hadn't gone mad with evil."
"Exactly," Alexandrea said, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm leaving," she said curtly and left.
The realization hit him like a brick as Alexandrea slammed the door shut. He ran for her, she was just reaching the edge of the driveway....
Ikki swung her around on the shoulders, really. He grabbed both of her shoulders, slightly lifted her off of her feet and turned her around to face him.
"Oh god, what have I done! I am so fricken sorry Alex!!! Please forgive me, I'm not mad with evil and I know you love Shun," Shun stood in the doorway slightly laughing at his brother and the expression on Alexandrea's face.
"Er..ok?"
"Thank you Alexandrea, thank you so much. Hey why don't you come inside?"
"Alright, only if I can ask you some personal questions," Alexandrea smirked.
He looked at her quizzically, "ok then lets go inside."
~*Amber and Hyoga*~
"Hey Hyoga do you think Alex will like this?" she held up a blue bikini with the writing "swim girl" on the top.
"Yeah," he said in a bored tone.
"You've said that for the last 20 I've showed you."
"Yeah."
"Alright Hyoga, come here?"
"Yeah." (A/N: a bit more HyogaxAmber action for you ppl who wanted it)
"COME HERE!!"
"Ok."
"Dammit Hyoga," Amber walked over to him, placing a rather vicious kiss on his lips, she nipped at his bottom lip.
"Amber!" he screamed, touching his lip, a crimson coloured liquid emanated from it, blood.
"Well pay attention will ya?!"
"Alright, I liked the one that was blue...and had black...little dolphins on it," Hyoga had never even seen this one, he only prayed that Amber had held it up...
"Oh you mean this one?" Amber held up exactly what he had described, "We'll take it then!"
Amber and Hyoga rushed out of the store and raced home, Amber wasn't going to tell Alexandrea what she had bought for her until it was too late...
~*Shun and Ikki's Home*~
"After you, Alex," Ikki waved his hand in a small flourish.
"Why, thank you Ikki," Alexandrea giggled a bit of being treated this way.
"I see you two have made up, and hopefully not kissed," Shun said happily that they weren't fighting.
"'Course not Shun what d'ya think?"
"Er...nothing?"
"Ah forget about it!" She turned towards Ikki who now had his feet up on the couch watching TV, "Ikki," he snapped out of his mindless trance, "Would you mind if I asked you those questions now?" She took a seat next to him as he moved his feet.
"Should I go?" Shun asked.
"Nah, you can do what ever you want, but I might need you later," Shun took a seat.
Alexandrea hadn't waited for Ikki's answer, "Can you tell me a bit more about Esmeralda?"
"Sure, I guess....but why?"
"Oh, no reason, not anything that would *really* concern *me*"
"Ok...so what do you want to know?"
"Everything, but for now describe what you like most about her."
"Ok, well I loved they way she was always smiling, never frowning. She had beautiful blond hair, and dark turquoise eyes. Though the last time I saw her, she was wearing a pink dress with red flowers-"
"You only remember that much Ikki?" Shun asked disbelievingly.
"What d'ya mean 'only that much,' I haven't seen her for five years!" Ikki yelled back.
"Yeah well Alex left, I knew exactly what she looked like and what she was wearing, since I thought about her every day!" said Shun forgetting Alexandrea was even there.
"Y-you did?" Alexandrea squeaked.
"Well, yeah, of course I did..."
Alexandrea pulled him into a passionate kiss, and then sat down in his lap, playing with his hands until he had put them around her in a strong hug. Meanwhile Ikki sat there, stunned, wishing he was Shun and Alexandrea was Esmeralda.
"Sorry, Ikki, it must be hard for you watching us," she jumped up from Shun, taking her warmth with her, he moaned in complaint, "Shun come on, your brother needs us!"
"You were all up to leaving half an hour ago..." he mumbled.
"Huh?"
"Nothing!"
"Alright," she took a seat next to Ikki and took his hands in hers, "Ikki, do you remember anything else?"
"She was a very sweet girl, very pretty, kind, brave, brave to help me. Kind of like you," he added with a smile, "She was, was...everything I ever wanted," he finished off.
"Do you know where she is?" (A/N: gonna hafta change this around k?)
"No, last I saw her she was trying to get away from me, I think she took a row boat..."
"Do you know where she was heading?"
"North."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Well then, lets go!" she got up with a start.
"Go?"
"Yep, we're going to find Esmeralda!"
"Really?!"
"Yes-" Alexandrea's cell phone rang, "Hello?"
"Hey, Alex!"
"Why are you calling me now?"
"Hmph, you're in an awfully good mood!"
"Sure, so really why are you calling?"
"The beach remember?"
"Er...not really?"
"I bought you a bathing suit, a one-piece I might add!" She waited for her best friend to squeal.
"Oh."
"Hey, how come you aren't all excited?"
"I've got a little problem," Alexandrea sat back down.
"What Shun doesn't have a bathing suit?" Alexandrea who had been looking at the ground now flashed her brown eyes on Shun for a moment.
"Hell how am I supposed to know?"
"Ask!"
"Not know, look, I can't come-"
"I haven't even told you when!"
"It's not that really, it's just Esmeralda, Ikki's long lost love is...is well up north, and I'm going to try to find her and bring her to see just what she's missing!"
"Alex, no not one of your crazy plans again!"
"It's not crazy! I will make sure they get back together if it's the last thing I do!!!"
"What about your mother?"
"My mother..."
"Yeah, now look as your best friend, I won't let you go!! Your going to bring Shun to my house, with his bathing suit, at nine AM sharp, got it?!"
"Yes." She hung up.
"We are going right now!" She grabbed Ikki and Shun's wrists.
"What about your phone call, who was it from?"
"Amber," Alexandrea tugged furiously on their wrists.
"What did she want?" Ikki asked.
"To go to the beach," she pulled even harder.
"When?"
"Alright look, she wanted me and Shun as well as herself and Hyoga to go to the beach nine AM tomorrow, and she won't let me help you get Esmeralda back. OK now lets go," she grabbed them again.
"Wait," Ikki tugged his wrist from her grip, "You and Shun go tomorrow"
"What? Why?"
"Just go, I'll pack some things for us to leave the next day ok? I trust you to find a way to get further north."
"Ok Ikki," she nodded her head once to show she understood and that she was ok with the plan.
Shun, Alexandrea and Ikki all went to bed after that. Shun hoping that there would be a water war, Alexandrea hoping that Amber wasn't lying about the bathing suit, and Ikki, hoping that he was going to be reunited with Esmeralda again.
RS: Hope you didn't wait too long....
Sapphire: Damn you RS, I don't even have to energy to tell you to update faster.
RS: hehe, anyway, just want to mention a special friend who's helped me with this chappie, LIGHT GODDESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So THANK YOU ALL!!!!! Especially you Light Goddess and Selphie's best friend can't forget you now can I? ^.~ Anyway please please review!!!!!!! Bye for now!!!
