Disclaimer: I don't own them......I don't own them......I don't own them. Do I need to repeat myself? Well, I'm taking a small break before I start on my ten page research paper to get this section of the story up like I promised. You would think that everyone is a little dysfunctional in some way so why do we even continue to call the behavior dysfunctional?====Because it's fun that's why.....(tehehe)

Rekkanotara: Sorry for the small chapter that came before this one. I was all set to type out more of this fic but sleep was getting the better of me. Oh and thanks to the two of you who reviewed. I appreciate the glance at my story.

Hyoga: sneaks up behind Rekkanotara Yeah, and she's not all too pleasant when she's sleepy.

Rekkanotara: Just what are you trying to say Hyoga dear?

......Silence.....awkward stares and shrugs.....more silence......

Rekkanotara: That's what I thought.

Seiya: comes around the other side Tell em about the drool.

Ikki: Yeah, you know it's not normal to drool that much in your sleep.

Rekkanotara: I have no idea what you're talking about.... slaps her hands over Ikki's and Seiya's mouths before they can respond Anyways.... Enjoy the story.

Restless And Reckless (Part Three):

By: Rekkanotara

Flashback

The sun was beginning to set behind the ocean causing a beautiful array of purples and pink to flare across the sky. Silence was all that could be heard until stressed sounds of a helicopter winding down could be heard nearby.

Everyone knew Seiya and Shun had come back but were surprised by what they had seen next.

The pilot jumped out and opened the rear compartment and had tried to help the saint of Andromeda, who still had his battered pink cloth on, as he was shoved aside by a seemingly dazed Shun.

Shun had been carrying an equally battered Seiya also wearing his Pegasus cloth and seemed to be having difficulty walking.

Upon viewing this, the others ran towards the two trying to find out what happened.

Andromeda's arms were growing exceedingly heavy as his chains dragged behind him while he carried his hurt friend towards their home. Shun hurt with every move he made and cringed as he could feel a heavy weight on his chest; guessing it was probably just Seiya, he moved on. He had to get help and he had to do it fast for Seiya's sake.

Ikki, Hyoga, and Shiryu had been stunned when they finally got close enough to the two injured boys. They tried to get closer, but Shun's nebula chains had been preventing them from doing so. Then they thought to try and speak to Shun to let them pass but there was an eerie, unsettling glaze to his eyes and a look of pure anger and defiance on his features.

As they approached, Shun began to hold Seiya tighter and snapped his chains around them both; yelling at his enemies or what he thought was his enemies, "I wont let you take him! You'll have to get by me first if you want him and the g...gol..."

It was at this moment that the chains suddenly fell limp and Shun fell to his knees dropping Seiya's still form onto the ground and passing out, falling directly over the Pegasus saint. At this point, the others were able to get close enough to help the two despite the shock of what they had just been witnesses to.

End Flashback

Nothing more could be done to help their friends so Hyoga, Shiryu, and Ikki thought it best to get some sleep for the night.

Tatsumi had swayed Saori to move the gold helmet to a more secure location for fear that their enemies were after it again and he didn't want to be around for the next time Shun decided to attack his friends.

The other saints agreed with his idea so he and Saori had left to find another place to hide the gold helmet leaving them to take care of Seiya and Shun.

Shiryu decided it would be best if he and Ikki shared his room for the night. They couldn't trust Ikki not to do something foolish and reckless. Shiryu's calm but strong presence was just what Ikki's wild and untamed spirit needed to relax and it wasn't until Ikki seemed to drift off to sleep that Shiryu had relaxed enough to fall asleep also.

It was a pretty close fit as neither saint would allow the other to sleep on the hard floor. So they had compromised leaving Ikki under the blankets on one half of the bed and Shiryu above the blankets on the other half of the bed.

Hyoga wanted to keep a close eye on his friends so he volunteered to check on Shun and Seiya every other hour to make sure everything was okay. He knew Seiya was strong and would eventually pull through but he couldn't help but be overly concerned for Shun.

The green-haired saint held so much in to keep anyone else from seeing past his cheerful exterior and to keep others from worrying about him or possibly getting upset with him.

Shun wasn't much for confrontation. He was peaceful by nature and tried to avoid using violence if he could.

Hyoga shook a little as a thought entered his mind, to think such a peaceful soul has been forced into this bloody war between gods, saints, and so forth. Sighing, Hyoga continued on his current train of thought, if Ikki and Shun hadn't come to the orphanage, they'd probably be a little more alike instead of polar opposites. Although we never would have met them and experienced so many good times with them. Dropping his chin to his chest, Hyoga pulled the door shut to the room that contained the two injured saints.

It had been so rough trying to get Ikki to leave his brother's side at the hospital they had taken the pair to and he had begun to make such a spectacle of himself, that the doctors had allowed the three remaining bronze saints to take Seiya and Shun home to be in their own beds and with strict orders for their care.

Mostly, they had agreed to such unusual procedures, because the Graud Foundation basically owned them and since Saori was in charge of the foundation, it wasn't such a good idea to offend those who were so close to the young lady.

Deciding to get some rest himself, Hyoga walked a ways down the hall yawning ever so slightly every fourth step. He was so exhausted that as soon as his head hit the pillows on his bed, the saint of Cygnus fell immediately asleep.
