Author's note: Sorry for the delay, I was so indulged in Tsurara Oikawa :D
Summary: The two must pass all the temples. How will the other saints react? Find out.
The Temples
Taurus Temple
The two were now at the second temple. "Taurus … we come to pass your temple," Shion said.
A purple (lavender) haired male came out. His cheerful smile always in place, he gave the blond male a hug. "Off course you can~" his eyes went to the female. He bowed slightly at her. "My Lady," he greeted.
The female nodded in reply. She forced a smile and greeted back. "Taurus," she said and shook hands with him.
"I see Aries is lucky to have a lady like you," Taurus said. "What will be the lady's name?" he asked.
The female blushed at what the saint said then mentally slapped herself. "I'm D~!"
Before Degel could yell her own name, Shion interrupted. "She's name is Gleed," he panicked. (Yeah, I do this kind of things when I panic)
"Gleed?" Taurus said raising a brow.
"Yes, my name is Gleed. Nice to see Shion...kun have such good friends," Degel or should we say Gleed said. She forced another smile.
Taurus blushed and nodded. "Um, we should really be going," Shion interrupted them. "Oh, right. Sorry," Taurus apologized as he scratched the back of his head. Shion goes out with Gleed behind him.
"Miss Gledd, wait!" the purple haired saint called out. He then kissed Gleed's knuckles and smiled. "Take care!"
"Thank you so much," Gleed said.
Something inside the blond boiled when Taurus kissed the female on the knuckles.
Gemini Temple
The two were staring at the third temple. "I wish he isn't in there," Aries said.
"I thought he's in Kanon Island?" Degel said. She was staring at her companion with those lovely eyes.
"Please stop looking at me like that," Shion said as he tried to cover his face. "And don't pout."
Gleed raised a brow in confusion. "Why?" she pouted and crossed her arms on her bust.
"Just don't."
The female shrugged and moved to the temple. "Nobody's home," Degel stated and went ahead. Shion sighed with relief. Good.
Degel stopped. Shion bumped to hi-her. "What's the matter, Degel?" he asked.
The female pointed at the next temple. "Oh, god" he muttered.
Cancer Temple
The two twitched. "We'd better go," Degel said and took a deep breath. They both went up the stairs.
The Cancer temple was empty, just like the Gemini temple.
"Cancer, we're here to pass your temple!" Shion yelled. Nobody responded.
"Nobody's here. He must be at the Pope's temple," Degel stated.
"Pope's temple?" Shion muttered in confusion.
"He's very fond of the pope," Degel smiled. She beamed at her companion then walked ahead.
Shion felt something heat up but ignored it.
Leo Temple
"Shion-sama!" the happy Regulus yelled. He tackled the Aries saint to the floor and laughed.
"Regulus," Shion greeted.
"What are you doing here, Shion-sama?" the young lion asked.
"We come to pass your temple, Leo Regulus," the blond replied. He motions to Degel. The female waved and smiled.
Regulus fell in love with the female at first sight. "Wow," he muttered in amazement.
"Leo, right?" Degel asked.
The lion nodded still staring at the female. He snaps out and shook his head. "Yes, Ma'am."
"Well, we'd better go," Shion said and led the way out. Before passing through Regulus, Degel ruffled his hair and winked. The Leo saint blushes madly. "Be strong."
When the two were out of the temple, they sighed in relief. "That was close," Shion said.
"I'm coming too," Regulus called out as he came running out.
"Do something," Degel said. Shion shook his head helplessly.
Regulus comes near. "We need to go up the temples alone, Leo Regulus," Shion explained.
"Why?"
The two older saints looked at each other. "We need to go to the Aquarius temple. To look for the Aquarius saint," Degel muttered softly.
"Degel-sama just passed by minutes ago," Regulus explained.
"Um. We need to get something there," Shion said.
"What will you get?" the young saint said.
Degel twitched irritably. She raised her arm and was about to freeze the gold saint but was stopped by Shion. The blond saint took hold of her hand and intertwined their fingers. Degel looked at the taller male before blushing. "I think it's better if you go and save Yato from freezing to death," she said sweetly.
Regulus again blushed. He couldn't think clearly when looking at the female. "Leave him be, Tenma will rescue him sooner or later."
Degel knelt down and cupped the young lion's face. "You are the only one who could break the ice," she explained.
"But Dohko-sama can also~"
The female's manicured finger shushed him. "Please go rescue your friend. I'll give you a treat after," she gently said.
Leo hid his tomato red face. "Let's go, Shion-sama!" he said enthusiastically. He dragged the older saint to the opposite direction.
"Wait, Leo. I need to guide her!" Shion argued. No use.
Degel waved at them. "I'll see you later, Shion!" she called after them. Staring at her hand which was intertwined with Shion's moments ago, she shook her head then resumes her way. She then realized something. "I wish Regulus won't notice that I told him too much," she prayed.
Virgo Temple
"Um, is someone here?" the female asked. He entered the temple acting like she's nervous.
"I see someone is new to the Sanctuary," the voice of Virgo Asmita echoed. A long haired saint came out from the shadows.
Degel backed off with shock. "Um, may I ask permission to pass? Um, I think that's the custom," she acted.
He elegantly walked to her. "You have a familiar cosmo, Miss-"
"Gleed," she replied.
The Virgo saint nodded. "You have an icy cosmo, like my friend Degel," he muttered. "Would you like some tea, Miss Gleed," he offered.
"No thanks, um."
"Virgo Asmita," he replied. He sat on a chair and poured some tea.
Degel smiled. "Virgo, may I pass now?" she said anxiously.
Virgo smiled and nodded. "Come and have tea with me sometime," he said.
"Yes, Virgo" she smiled and went out.
"Would you like a companion to where you are going?" the person inside offered.
"No. It might burden you."
"I am never burdened."
She smiled and went back again. She then bowed deeply in a sign of thank you. "I will have tea when my task is done, Virgo." With that said, she left.
"Now for the next temple," Degel muttered and climbed the remaining stairs towards the Libra Temple.
Libra Temple
The Aquarian took a deep breath and relaxed. "Libra, I ask permission to pass," she called out. A few minutes of thuds and groans then a brown haired male comes out rubbing his sore head. "Are you alright?" Degel asked in concern.
"I'm fine," Libra Dohko muttered. He looked at the figure next to him and ran back to the room. Degel raised a brow in confusion. After another minute, the saint came out with a cloth on his nose. "Why would a lady like you be visiting the Sanctuary at a time like this?" he asked, trying to hide the red liquid coming out from his nose.
"I have to go to the Aquarius temple to get um, something," Degel explained.
"Degel isn't in his temple. He went to the Aries to get his book back," Dohko said. "By the way, what's your name?" (Shameless as ever)
"Gleed. Shion-kun gave me instructions to get another book in the Aquarius temple," Degel replied.
"Are you and Shion going out?" he asked, jealousy tainting his brown eyes.
It took some seconds for Degel to respond. She chuckled lightly making the Libra saint have another nosebleed. "Oh no, he is just a friend," he said.
Dohko smiled. "Then you are available?" he asked hopefully.
Degel blinked and smiled. "What?"
"Are you available this evening?"
Degel again blinked stupidly. "Um, I have something to do, sorry," she replied.
The Libra saint bowed his head in defeat.
Degel stared at him before a plan slowly hatched in her head. She stepped in front of him and raised his head to level with hers. Tantalizing violet eyes stared at warm brown orbs. "Don't worry, Libra Saint. If there is a time, I am going to introduce you to my blond friend," she smiled.
Dohko's face immediately lit up. "Is she as hot as you?"
"Yeah, I think so," she stated and smiled again, covering her mischievous eyes. "Now I can achieve my revenge on Shion!" she thought.
"Yeah!" the Libra saint cheered. He hugged the beauty in front of him. "You could pass!"
Degel smiled chilly and walked away from the happy Dohko. Her smile disappeared when she heard thuds and groans coming from the next temples. "I would rather face another holy war," she muttered.
Scorpio Temple
"So, Defteros, what brings you here?" Kardia asked as he blindly attacked with a spear.
Defteros dodged and smiled. "Looking for a worthy opponent. Kanon Island is too boring," he murmured.
"Oh yeah, look at what I got," Cancer Manigoldo said and took off his upper armor. He showed up his new scar mark.
Kardia stopped his mock battle with the Gemini and looked closely at the wound and grinned. He punched the scar and prepared for a fight. Cancer screamed in pain and glared at his companion. The Cancer saint tackled Kardia and they went rolling out of the room. Defteros follows with a grin.
Kardia was now choking Manigoldo. Defteros separated the two. "This is no time to ~!"
"Scorpio, may I pass your temple!" a feminine voice shouted. The Gemini saint lets the two go and motions to Scorpio to follow. The two of them went to the entrance.
Scorpio's jaw dropped. Defteros was blinking stupidly. The figure was smiling at them. Inside, Degel was bashing her head. Manigoldo followed the two. "What are you two staring at?" he demanded and followed their eyes. His jaw dropped at the sight of Degel.
"Um, Scorpio I need to pass," she stated and stared at the three innocently. The three sadists didn't reply. The first one to snap out of it was Defteros. "He's the Scorpio saint," he muttered and pointed at Manigoldo.
Degel looked at Manigoldo. "He isn~ I mean, Scorpio, may I pass your temple?" she said.
Manigoldo grinned. "You can if you give me a kiss," he muttered.
"What?" Degel asked. She stepped back as the Cancer saint advanced. She looked at the Scorpio saint with pleading eyes before standing her ground and ready to defend herself.
Kardia blinked, trying to recognize that stare. The Cosmo emitting from the female was cold just like his partner's. "Degel?" he thought but quickly shook his head. It was obvious that this chick isn't his best friend.
Cancer smirked at the female's position. "Trying to act tough won't stop me from getting a kiss." He grabbed the Aquarian's hand and tried to corner her. From her experiences, she faced the Cancer saint, kicked his shin, jumped on his shoulder, kicked his head lightly then somersaulted. She landed gracefully on the table top and glared at the saint.
The Gemini and Scorpio saint were wide eyed. The fallen Cancer saint rubbed his head then smiled maniacally. "You have guts, Lady," Defteros stated in appreciation. He then took a sword from the shelf beside him and dashed towards the female.
"Wa-Wait!" the female stuttered and dodged the incoming attack. Thinking quickly, she took a scorpion from the floor and threw the poor creature at the Gemini's face.
Scorpio appeared from behind Degel and held her tight. "Who are you?" he whispered in her ear.
Degel's face turned red. From the closeness of their faces, the female couldn't think straight. "Gleed?" Her statement was more like a question than a sentence.
Defteros finally took the thing off of his face and grinned. He lifted the female's face close to his own. "May I know your name," he said.
Their faces were inches apart. Scorpio was still holding her. "Gleed. Now please let me go," she politely stated, thanking Zeus that Kardia finally brought distance to their faces.
"Man, she's hot!" Manigoldo shouted and joined the two. He was about to take the female's cloak off but was intercepted by Aries and Leo.
"Thank, Zeus," Degel sighed. She kicked Scorpio's balls and ran towards the exit. "I'm sorry, Kardia!" she yelled but immediately closed her mouth, realizing what she said.
Shion followed right after. Leo was trying to keep the other two saints at bay. The Cancer finally used one of his techniques and made the Leo saint flying towards the next temple.
Sagittarius temple
"What is going on out there?" Sisyphus demanded. He became a landing pad for the Leo saint. He stood up again rubbing his head.
"Look out!" Degel's feminine voice shouted. She had no time to stop so she bumped into the Sagittarius saint. Sisyphus' face was covered with Degel's armored boobs.
Leo opened his eyes and groaned. His face became red when he saw the scene. He pointed an accusing finger at his teacher with rage. "You pervert!" he yelled.
The female blushed madly and sat. Shion helped the Sagittarius saint while Leo sat beside the Aquarian, asking if she was alright. "For the last time, Leo, I'm okay," she quietly murmured. She looked at Sisyphus and apologized.
The said saint came near and offered his hand, covering his broken nose from the female. Degel smiled at took it. Leo glared at his teacher and muttered some oaths. Shion chuckled lightly. The three sadistic saints came running into the temple. "Have you seen a chick pass here?" Kardia asked. Defteros was still holding a sword while Manigoldo was smiling evilly.
Shion and Sisyphus quickly hid the said Aquarian on their backs. "No," the Ares saint replied rather quickly.
"Run, Gleed-sama!" Leo yelled and attacked the shocked Gemini saint. Both gold saints rolled back to the Scorpio saint.
The other four saints just went out and watched the Leo and Gemini roll while the Aquarian slowly went up to the next temple.
Capricorn Temple
Gleed raced up the stairs towards the Capricorn temple. "Capricorn! I came to pass!" she called out as she went deeper. She was about to knock on El Cid's quarters when she came face to face with a glowing hand. "He's angry," she thought as she stared in fear at the arm.
"Who are you?" the black haired male asked as he let his guard down and stare at the angel.
She straightened her back and smiled sweetly. "I am Gleed, Shion's friend and was allowed to enter Sanctuary and visit the Aquarius saint," she stated formally.
El Cid raised a brow in suspicion. "Aquarius Degel is at Aries Shion's temple. Didn't you find him there?"
The female twitched but kept her face. "They said that he came back~!"
"He didn't."
Violet eyes opened and stared at El Cid with seriousness. "Capricorn El Cid," she started, unconsciously dropping the room's temperature. "Let me pass."
"You know my name," the Capricorn stated in shock and stepped back. "You are a prophet," she commented and bowed in apology. "I am deeply sorry."
Blinking at the sudden action, she patted his head awkwardly. "I am not."
"Yes you are."
Degel gave up. "Let me pass," she pleaded; eyes almost close to tears.
"Don't cry, Prophet Gleed. You may pass," the stoic saint muttered and again bowed.
Degel forced a smile then waved goodbye at the gold saint. She ran up the remaining stairs and immediately dived to her quarters. "Thank goodness," she sighed and walked to her closet for descent clothes.
Revision two done!
