Chapter 11- Back To The Past

Seiya was walking around looking at the locket when he saw Yaten sitting on a bench with Luna next to him. "I've got something for you Luna." Yaten holds out a bracelet. It was golden and had a crescent marking on it. "I had it personally made just for you. I wanted to tell you that I love you and hope you feel the same way back."

"Aw, Yaten, this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me." She gazes into his eyes, she closes her eyes, and the she leans in to kiss him.

He closes his eyes as well, the lips are together now. This reminded Seiya of the day at the ice rink where Usagi kissed him. He touched his cold lips. 'I wish I had someone to warm mine, as he has Luna.' Seiya thought. 'I thought he was looking for proof of Michiru's death. I wonder if Yaten knows that her and Michiru are working for Samonie now. Oh well, he doesn't want to ever see or talk to me again.'

Seiya went the other direction for he felt that he should leave them to be alone with one another. He shut his eyes, leaned his head back, and let himself fall into the snowy blanket that covered the ground below. When he opened his eyes, the scenery around him had changed. The park was no longer there, it was just a forest that surrounded him. "Where am I?"

"Seiya." A voice came from behind.

He quickly turned to face it, prepared to fight, but to his relief it was just Samonie. He could tell that it wasn't the demonic one for she gave off a warm, loving feeling. While the other form gave off no feeling at all. "Hi, long time no see."

"I need you to do me a favor. I want to be able to face my freedom from this world with no regrets. So will you do what I asked." She seemed to be see-through now not solid like she was before. "Take this scroll to a man named Horoshi. I've mentioned his name to you before. I only wish I could changed what I had done back then, this would of never happened. I'm sorry for all of this."

"It's okay. Sure, I'll do it." Seiya took the scroll from her, and she slowly vanished into thin air.

He walked around a nearby village, asking everyone he meet if they knew a man named Horoshi. He eventually found him after about and hour of searching. "Hello, sir, I'm very sorry about disturbing you, but I was asked to deliver this scroll to you."

Seiya hands the scroll over to Horoshi. He read it aloud,

Dear Horoshi,

I've been keeping something from you for all these years that I've been away from the village. I loved you and I couldn't stand the fact that you didn't love me back. So I made a pact with a demon. I gave her my soul in exchange for the death of Kimiko. I had secretly wished for that long before it happened to her. But if I only had of noticed back then what I notice now is that you really did love her, not me. And even though you said you did love me, it was a different kind of love. I understand it all now, if only I was so wise back then, you would still have your Kimiko, and I would have the pleasure of knowing that you were living you life happily. I would have never guessed that what I did back then would still be causing suffering hundreds, maybe even thousands of years from back then, I would of never done what I did. Why couldn't I just accept the fact that me and you could never be. Hopefully my young warrior will do his part in this to end it all. I can only pray for a not so tragic ending for him though. Goodbye my love, Horoshi. And good luck my warrior, Seiya.

Love always,

Samonie

When Horoshi looked back up to asked Seiya faces appeared worried. "What's wrong young man?"

He stood there in silence. "Oh," Seiya finally said, "It's nothing really, I just realized something is all."

"Well then," Horoshi smiled. "Uhhh... Where are you going to stay tonight?"

"I don't know actually," Seiya rubbed the back of his head. "I don't live around here so I guess I don't have anywhere to go to."

Horoshi point to his tiny house. "I know it's small, after all I might as well give you a home for your troubles. For a little while anyways or until daybreak."

"Thank you for your kindness." Seiya followed him into his house.

"I'm terribly sorry it's so small, but every since Kimiko died I really didn't see any need in a big home." Horoshi sat down on a green pillow on the floor and pointed Seiya over to a blue pillow. "So why don't you tell me about yourself."

"There's not really much to tell." Seiya looked at him. "Not unless you want to here me complain, but other than that's there's nothing to say."

"Go on and tell. I'll probably end up complaining to you before the morning." He sipped on a strange looking container of water that was next to him.

"Well you see." Seiya pauses to think of how to word what he was about to say. "Back where I come from there is this girl named Usagi whom I happen to have strong feelings towards. What am I saying? Don't have strong feelings for her I love her more than life itself."

"Well then, what's the problem." Horoshi questioned Seiya.

"She's in love with another man; his name is Mamoru." He clinched his shirt sleeve. "I hate him with every inch of my body. I don't know why she chooses him over me. I would treat her so much better."

"If there's one thing I've learned about women is that they have their reason's for everything. Besides maybe there is another reason besides love why she chooses this Mamoru guy over you. After all, you never really now when your dealing with women." He stares straight into Seiya's eyes. "Trust me Seiya. If you interfere with this like Samonie did with me and my love, by what she said in the scroll anyways, you'll end up regretting it just as she has most likely. If you really love this girl you'll trust her to make the right decisions."

Seiya's eyes grew wide. "How am I just supposed to sit around and watch her be with such a loser though? It's not that easy. I can't just watch as she slips away from me. I love her too much to see her with him, a man who she could do much better than. She could at least be with some other guy then I wouldn't care!"

"You say that now." Horoshi continued looking into Seiya's eyes. "But you know that even if it was a different guy you would still be saying the same thing. The only guy you wouldn't care is she was with would be you. Listen to me, you must let her do as she wishes or she will only grow to hate you."

He became enraged. "You don't know anything! It's not like you've ever been in a situation like this!"

"I have." Horoshi looked away.

Seiya became silent.

"Before Kimiko, there was a girl that I thought was the one, and it was basically the same thing that your going through now." A tear slid down his face. "Kimiko, how I miss you."

"I'm so sorry." Seiya's heart grew sorrowful, for he knew that Horoshi was right but didn't want to believe it.

A bright light appeared in the middle of the house. Samonie's voice could be heard saying, "It's time to go back home Seiya."

With those words being spoken, the light spreads throughout the room and engulfs Seiya. "Bye, Horoshi." He said before completely disappearing.

"Bye, young warrior, Seiya." Horoshi looks into the light and sees a faint outline of Samonie. "Thank you for apologizing. You don't know how much this scroll meant to me. I'm glad that you admitted to your mistakes. Take care of this young man, he will accomplish great things in his life."

She nodded. "Goodbye Hoshi, my love. I will make sure that Seiya chooses the right path."

The room went back to normal and no one was there besides Horoshi. "Goodbye, my dear friend, Samonie. May you rest in peace."
