Chapter 10
When they arrived the Aquarius temple Jane started to cry. Once again Camus embraced her and she cried in his arms. He was trying to comfort her by saying:
- My love, I'm so sorry, so sorry.
- Why Camus? Why did he order that?
- I don't know. It was unfair. But see the things for the positive side.
- What positive side?
- If your parents hadn't been killed you'll never be with your uncle. And if you weren't with your uncle we wouldn't have met each other.
When she realized that he was right, she stopped crying, looked at him and said:
- You're right. And I can't even think in living without knowing you.
- Me neither.
They kissed lovingly and then Jane said:
- Camus, what do you think about what the rest of the document said?
- Which part?
She blushed a little and said:
- The part that said that I'll be the lover of the Aquarius Saint in this generation, in other words: you, and the mother of the next one.
- Oh, that part. Well I think it's interesting.
- Really? Why?
- Because that means you'll be a mother. And that maybe I'll be the father.
- What do you mean by "maybe"? You're the only man that can be the father of a son of mine! And that is certain!
He smiled and kissed her. Before any of them could say anything else, they heard Milo calling from the temple entrance:
- Hey, Fridge! Can I come in?
- Yes, Milo you can.
Milo went near them and said:
- I'm sorry for interrupting again. And I'm sorry for everything, Jane.
She looked at him and nodded. Then Camus asked:
- What can we do for you?
- Well, when Athena-sama read the manuscript and said that Dégel had written that, I realized that I had seen that name before.
This caught Jane's attention. She got away from Camus' embrace, looked strait to him and asked:
- You did? Where?
- In my temple.
This time it was Camus that became impressed and asked:
- In your temple? Why would the name of an Aquarius Saint be in the Scorpio temple?
- You'll see. Both of you please come with me.
They went to the Scorpio temple, where Milo took them to an old secret room that seemed to be closed in years. In the wall that was in front of the door, was a huge painting of two men: one with blue hair and the other with green hair. The two of them were dressed with Gold Cloths: the green haired one wore the Aquarius no Gold Cloth and the blue haired one wore the Scorpio no Gold Cloth. Below the painting was a gold plate that said "We fought together and we will die together! Friends Forever: Aquarius no Dégel and Scorpio no Kardia!" When Jane read this she said:
- So this is Dégel? He seemed to be a great man.
Milo was the one to answer:
- Yes, and it seems that he and the Scorpio Gold Saint were great friends.
- It seems that all the Scorpio Gold Saints and the Aquarius Gold Saints are always friends. You and Camus are a great example of it.
- Yes you are right.
Milo looked to Camus that briefly returned the look, before talking to Jane:
- Marie what are you thinking?
- I'm thinking that I've seen this man before. And that maybe he wasn't that bad.
- You saw him before? Where?
- In my uncle's house in Paris. He had a painting smaller than this in his office. I've only entered that office twice while he was alive and after that I've only entered that house once. Still I remember that painting very well.
- It impressed you that much?
- Yes, because of the look in his eyes. It was a cold yet gentle look. My uncle told me he died fighting Poseidon. He was very proud of being his student. I think that he knew that it was Dégel that ordered my parents deaths. Still he couldn't hate him. After you became his student he told me that you reminded him of his teacher.
Camus was speechless and then Milo changed the subject:
- By the way, tomorrow the Gold Saints, the Pope (Shion), Athena-sama, the Bronzies, Marin and Shaina are going to have dinner in my house. Can I count with both of you?
Jane looked at Camus that said:
- Who is going to cook?
- Me, why?
When Milo noticed the expression in Camus' face and said:
- Hey! I'm not that bad!
Jane giggled and then said:
- May I help you with the cooking?
- Sure!
- What were you going to do?
- I haven't thought about it yet.
- Hum… let me worry about that. Okay?
- Sure! I appreciate it!
- So, can I go to your house at 5 o'clock?
- Five?
- Yes, to do what I'm thinking, I need time.
- Okay, sure.
They said goodbye and Camus and Jane went to the Aquarius temple.
In the next day, Jane woke up early and when she was going to leave the temple Camus woke up and asked her:
- Marie, where are you going at this hour?
- I'm going to the city, do the shopping for dinner.
- Don't go now. Stay here with me for a little while.
- I won't be long. I promise. Go to sleep for a little while my love.
She kissed him and left.
That's it for now...
