AN: For future, (if applicable) I will include what other characters say when not in the presence of Seiya in the third person format.

Point D: A Familiar Feeling

I excused myself from the two momentarily to head towards the back of the café to get a drink. Everything was so confusing for me right now. I was beginning to question what was even real anymore.

Healer... Yaten, and Maker -- I didn't know what to make of their present forms but I suppose it's a suitable form for this planet. After all I now possessed the same attire, though I am still unsure how exactly this happened.

I remember singing on Kinmokusei and walking around the royal palace. Everything was beautiful there and peace and prosperity was present. Our duty was to watch over the Princess. But why were we all gathered on Earth? Where was our princess and who was that woman who I encountered near the lake? Why did she want me to bring our Princess to her? So many questions I had in my head and not one of them I had an answer to.

A sharp pain shot through my chest as I doubled over in pain. The flesh had healed, but the wound was still fresh as well as the haunting memory of seeing my body in such a state. I wondered how I could still be alive. It wasn't possible but here I was. I pulled up my sleeve seeing the golden bracelet upon it. My opposite hand went to grab a hold of it and a sudden energy shot through my arm. I pulled my hand away in surprise and continued to stare to it. Something was definitely strange about it, but how did it get there?

A massive headache came from no where and I put my hands to the sides of my head. Images began to fill my head, images I have never seen before, but they felt so real -- So familiar.

Darkness... Destruction... Our planet...

A darkness swept through our planet. It was like the wind, here and gone without a trace, but the visualization of the ruins would stay in my mind forever. I would never forget the sight of such destruction for as long as I lived. The enemy was everywhere but all I could make out was dark figures. The princess was guarded by her lover who stood between her and a dark force. He was killed right before her eyes without remorse. I couldn't make out who the figure was, but that image would stay in my mind. What were these images? Was this a memory?

Another shot of pain ran through my chest and my head began to pound...

Running. I remember running and scrambling to find everyone. Healer, Maker, Princess... Everyone was so weak and if we stayed here we would have died. The Princess had escaped with the last of her power and us three followed after her.

That is the last I remember, but why now? Why couldn't I remember this before? I lifted a hand in front of my face seeing my sleeve still rolled up. That gold bracelet glimmered in the light. Somehow, I get this sinking feeling these bracelets have something to do with these images -- These memories.

"Seiya."

I snap myself out of my thoughts quickly rolling down my sleeve to conceal the bracelet again. I look to the one who just called out my 'name'.

"Healer--I mean, Yaten. What's up?"

Her--His figure stood with his arms crossed against his chest. "You've been acting weird since you came back."

"Have I?" I showed him a genuine look of perplexion.

"Seiya, what happened to you during the time you were gone?"

"I..." I went to answer but another force from inside intervened. I felt my eyes narrow slightly. "I just went for a walk. Why do you keep asking me?" My tone suddenly became brash as I felt a strong feeling of annoyance sweep over my being.

"I felt your light go out, but... You're here. I don't understand how that's possible unless..." Now it was he who narrowed his eyes at me. "You didn't sell out, did you?"

"Sell out? What are you talking about, Yaten? I told you I just went for a walk. Nothing happened. Now will you stop asking me?" I went to move past his figure but he grabbed a hold of my arm.

"Look me in the eyes and tell me you were just out for a walk." His eyes remained narrowed.

I looked him dead in the eyes feeling a sudden strength come over me. I gave him a smile. "I was just out for a walk." My senses were calm as I felt as if another force suddenly was guiding my every move.

His grip tightened slightly. Whether or not he felt this force also or not wasn't clear but he let me go after a moment of staring at me.

"Where are you going now?"

I looked over my shoulder giving him a grin. "Out for a walk." I turned back around to walk out the door completely.

---

"What do you think?" Taiki approached the side of Yaten as Seiya left.

"He's not himself." Yaten's eyes remained narrowed watching after Seiya's figure as the dark haired Starlight walked past the window.

"We should keep an eye on him."

Yaten gave a nod in response.

I let out a small hum walking idly to nowhere in particular. It wasn't like I had the greatest idea of my way around here. I felt the hums quickly turn into idle melody. Wait a second... a melody...

I recalled singing on Kinmokusei. I would make up my own lyrics and send secret messages through my songs to the others. Healer and Maker were the only other ones who could encode messages in songs. We could send these messages to who ever we wanted. Then it hit me. A way to draw out the Princess...

My emotions were scattered at the moment and the only thing I could relate to the Princess was our planet... The images of destruction and ruins laid deep inside my mind. I couldn't associate any other feeling but despair. Maybe I could use this to my advantage. I began running random words into verses.

I snapped my fingers. "In your fight... the light's... gone dim..." I snapped my fingers again. "Lay your troubles down to sleep..." I snapped my fingers a third time closing my eyes. "Now I lay you down at peace..." I paused creating a beat in the rhythm of my foot steps. "The darkness... No..." My eyebrows furrowed thinking of something to fit a solemn mood. "In this... In this darkness... Darkest... sonnet?" I shook my head. No that didn't work. I felt it. I was close to something. "To escape this darkest... lullaby... To escape this darkest lullaby." I smirked. It was short but bitter-sweet. "Be at peace my Princess. It's okay. Let me sense your energy, so we can find a way back home." My view remained to the ground as I snapped my fingers. "I got it! -- Umph!" I felt my figure fall to the floor as something suddenly got in the way.

"Hey! Watch where you're go--" She stopped in mid-sentence as her eyes went wide and a huge smile formed against her face. "Seiya!" A jubilant blond girl with a funny hair-style suddenly greeted me from a 'seated' position next to me. Without warning she suddenly leaped at me giving me a hug. "Seiya! I'm so happy you're okay!"

"W-What's this for?" I didn't know how to react to her as I sat stiffly on the ground. There was a sudden strong energy coming from this girl but I couldn't place it.

"I'm sorry." She blushed slightly as she quickly backed off. Her figure rose to a stand. "I tried getting in touch with you earlier but Taiki and Yaten said you were gone and they didn't know where you were -- Everyone was worried about you! Well... maybe it was just me." She let out a giggle before her expression jumped back to serious. "I had this strange feeling earlier and for some reason you came to mind -- Ah, but it's probably nothing at all seeing you're right here!" The girl giggled again as her words seemed to flow into run-on-sentences. Boy did she love to talk.

I stood as well. Why did everyone think something was wrong with me? Above all, who was this girl? She seemed to know Healer and Maker so... I drew my eyebrows together looking her over. There was something very familiar about her and a very strong feeling lingered inside for her. What exactly, I couldn't place. I couldn't even remember who she was.

"Ne, how do you know Hea--Yaten and Taiki?"

"Eh? Did you lose your memory?" She let out a childish giggle. "We're friends silly!" She gave me the brightest smile.

"Ah, well... Maybe my memory is a little off today." I gave a nervous smile. A strange force began to make itself present in my being again as the pain in my chest intensified again. I grabbed a hold of my chest doubling over slightly with a wince.

"Seiya! Are you okay?" The girl's expression was with the utmost concern.

I put out a hand to keep her at bay. "I'm fine." It was my voice but not my words. I suddenly had this sinking feeling that I shouldn't be here right now. "I have to go now." I went to walk past her abruptly walking off into the distance.

"Seiya!"

I ignored her call as I quickened my pace. I turned into the nearest ally proceeding to lean my figure against the wall. It seemed I didn't know this girl from a hole in the wall or at least couldn't remember her. However, I had such an intense feeling for her while in her presence. I didn't understand it. It almost felt like...Princess? No this couldn't be possible, or was it? It was similar but not quite her energy. At least she seemed to know Healer and Maker. Maybe I could start there and get some answers. I looked around the corner seeing the busy streets. I let out a sigh. Hopefully they were still at that café. If not I would have a long search ahead of me.
