Forever Saints

Hyoga sat at his desk, looking out of the window at the falling snow. He was so mesmerised by it. It had been his home for years, and now it had all changed; the bronze knights had split up and gone different ways. Hyoga was now a successful lawyer, Shun was a model/actor, Ikki owned his own bar and Shiryu became a psychiatrist, no one knows what happened to Seiya. Some say he lives with the princess Saori and some say he lives a normal life now. Princess Saori still lives in her huge mansion, except now people say she's gone mad and nobody works for her so now her "huge mansion" looks like a haunted castle.

Hyoga sat back in his chair examining the magazine in front of him. It was a picture of Shun, the angle of it made him looked a bit fat and his nose nostrils huge, - poor Shun – he thoughtwhen he suddenly felt so lonely – maybe I should check up on him? –. He reached across the table and picked up a phone, thought a bit, and dialled a number.

Shun lay on his bed studying the magazine, when the phone rang beside him, making him jump. He picked it up and said with an angry tone,

"Well it's about time! This photographer made me look like shit!"

"That's a friendly greeting to some-one you haven't seen in two years,"replied Hyoga on the other line.

"Excuse me?" said Shun feeling a bit stunned and embarrassed.

Hyoga chuckled "Hi Shun it's me Hyoga' there was silence on the other line but then Shun spoke in an unbelieving voice,

"Hyoga? HI! How are you?"

"Oh fine! Yeah, and you?"

"Yeah great! So what's up? Do you wonna get together some time?"

"Sure!"

"Um... how's tomorrow? Pizza place, you know the one we used to go to? I'll see if I can get hold of Shiryu"

"Great!"

"Around one?"

"Yeah ok!"

"Ok then, well, bye!"

"Yeah see ya tomorrow! Bye!' Hyoga put down the phone and cupped his head in his hands – what an embarrassing phone call! – He thought to himself.

Shun put down the receiver and got from his bedside table; a phone book, and skimmed through it until he found Shiryu's phone number, then picked up the receiver again.

Seiya looked at his own reflection in the window of Star Bucks, reflecting on what had become of him when the Saints split up, and so far he could think of nothing. What had he done that was so great? Apart from saving a goddess and most probably the whole world! But since they split up nothing. He turned away as people started to stare at him from inside, and got back to what he was doing, when somebody called his name,

"Seiya? HEY SEIYA!" he turned around to see Shun, Hyoga, and Shiryu running towards him. He started to run away as it was too embarrassing for his x-companions to see him like this. But as you can imagine, it's hard to run in a giant hot-dog suit. He tripped over and fell by the road, so the when a car went by it splashed muddy water all over him. The others caught up and Shiryu pulled him to his feet. He had mud all over his face but they still knew it was him by his cosmos,

"Hi Seiya! What's up?" asked Hyoga, trying to ignore his giant hotdog suit or burst out laughing.

"It's not me! IT'S NOT ME!!" he shouted, trying to run away again but was held back by Shiryu, still holding onto his shoulder, making his grip tighter.

"Hey, don't go we're about to go to lunch, wanna come?" asked Shiryu,

"Umm... well...." Seiya looked down at what he was wearing.

"It doesn't matter, just take it off, you have clothes under it don't you?" Hyoga looked at him as if to say "you do don't you? Please tell me you do! PLEASE! " Seiya began to blush and looked down.

"Hey it doesn't matter you can borrow some of my clothes" said Shun smiling slightly. Seiya looked him up and down; he had not noticed that he was wearing clothes of great wealth and Hyoga was wearing a suit of importance and Shiryu was wearing spiritual clothes. They all looked a bit odd together. Look how they all turned out?

"How's Ikki?" asked Seiya trying to drive the conversation away from his nakedness under a hotdog suit.

"He's fine- " but he couldn't finish the sentence as some girls came running up to him,

"OH MY GOOOOOOOD!!!!!" they squealed in excitement, "YOUR SHUN THE ACTOR/MODEL!! CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?" they said shoving the hotdog aside. They went away laughing and giggling showing off their signed T-shirts and other various parts of the body. As they went away they muttered, "freak" to Seiya,

"BITE ME BITCH!!" he shouted back to them, extending his middle finger.

"AS MUCH AS I'D LOVE TO I DON'T THINK YOUR BUNS ARE TIGHT ENOUGH!" they shouted back extending several middle fingers, "LUV YA SHUN!" one of them screamed back, blowing a kiss, and just like that they were gone into a curious crowd of onlookers.

"Seiya! Why'd you do that?" Shun whispered vigorously, pulling him into the melting crowd (the others following).

In the end Seiya had to wear some of Shun's clothes, although he'd much rather of worn some of the other's, as Shun's were of expensive design, which pulled in to make him look thinner, but less easier to breath. They dumped the suit back with the owner of a little hotdog stand, which got him fired. But Shiryu said he could stay with him.

They went to the pizza place and found out a lot about what had happened to every one of them after the Saints split up.

Shun invited Hyoga to stay with him, as it was ever so lonely in a huge mansion all by your self. And after a long day they all went home; Shun with Hyoga, and Shiryu with Seiya.

Shiryu arranged the pillows on the fold out bed/couch.

"You sure you don't want to sleep in my bed? I'll sleep out here if you want?" asked Shiryu, after fluffing the pillows to perfection.

"No I'm good," sighed Seiya, sitting down on it.

"Well, ok then, goodnight!"

"Yeah night!" Shiryu walked into his room but started as aloud clash and crack sounded behind him. He turned around to see Seiya scratching his head, on the mattress, which was on the floor, because the bed had broken.

"Ah..." sighed Shiryu, "I guess no one's sleeping on it now, come, you can sleep in my bed".

Seiya lay next to him; he could tell by his breathing that he was not asleep. – What are you doing? - He thought to himself, he shuddered slightly.

"Are you cold?" asked Shiryu not moving.

"Uh... no I'm good" he said trying not to let Shiryu get worried.

An hour passed and still no sleep had crawled upon them. Seiya's heart started pounding and he feared that Shiryu could feel it. This was madness! Shiryu's his best friend! He couldn't... and yet he could, he felt it he could... he could have feelings for him.

Shiryu leaned up on his elbow, looking into Seiya's eyes. He felt it too! He could see it in his eyes. Shiryu brushed Seiya's cheek and kissed it. He felt a funny tingling feeling, rush through him, making him blush. Shiryu suddenly pulled away as if he thought it was wrong, they were two guys! But Seiya could not let it end like this!

He sat up and looked down at him, and kissed him.
