Prologue:
Steps echoed through the walls of the corridor of an ancient-looking Greek palace. As she made her way to the stairs, her long purple hair flew behind her and she started to walk up the long, white, marble staircase. The woman stopped on her heels as she reached her destination. In front of her were twelve beautiful thrones but only one, the biggest one, was occupied. She made her way to one of the empty thrones and sat.
- It's so nice to see you here again Athena.
Saori smiled and answered:
- Hello father – Zeus smiled back in recognition. – I'm sorry for not coming often but I need to ask a big favour of you.
- Go on.
- As you should know, all of my saints died protecting me from Hades and you know how long it takes until they are replaced.
- Yes. Your point is…
- I would like you to please resurrect them.
- That is a very important decision to make. But I do understand why you're asking me this. – Zeus took a small glance at his previously referred brother's throne – I would not like to have my daughter killed again by my brother's actions.
- So will you do it?
Zeus smiled.
- I will.
End of Prologue
Gelirya:
Chapter 1
One day, a young woman with long brown hair appeared in the Sanctuary. She walked in an elegant and calm pace, with a confident and serious look in her eyes. When she reached the Aries temple, she was greeted by Mu. Seeing her, he said:
- Who are you? And what do you want from the Sanctuary?
- Hello! I'm Jane. I came here by request of Athena. I have a meeting with her so I need your permission to proceed.
- Do you have any proofs?
- Oh, please Mu-sama! If you don't believe me, call her!
Mu called the goddess and she confirmed what Jane had said. He let her enter the temple and said:
- I'm sorry if I was rude, but…
- I understand it's your mission. I was rude also, I apologize.
- It's okay.
- Have a nice day.
She went through and continued her path. When she arrived at the Taurus temple she didn't see anyone.
- Hello! Is there anybody here? Aldebaran-sama?
- WHAT?
The scream came from inside the private quarters and soon a big man appeared and asked angrily:
- What do you want?
- Hey! I wasn't rude! So I appreciate if you aren't too!
- You woke me up!
- It's five in the afternoon!
- So what do you want?
- I desire to pass. Mu-sama already gave me his permission. I have a meeting with Athena.
- If I let you pass, would you go away and let me sleep?
- Yes.
- Then go!
- Thank you. Pleasant dreams.
She passed and then when the Gemini temple came up she called once again:
- Saga-sama, Kanon-sama, is anybody here?
A man that she couldn't tell if it was Saga or Kanon appeared and said:
- What do you want from the Gemini temple?
- Err… you are…?
- Oh, sorry. I'm Gemini Kanon.
- Oh, Kanon-sama. Well I want your permission to pass. I have a meeting with Athena. Mu-sama and Aldebaran-sama already let me through.
- Okay if you want to pass you can.
- Really? Without any more questions?
- No. My brother is with Athena, if he objected he would be here by now. So go.
- Thank you. Have a nice day.
As she was going away, Kanon was thinking: "Too cold, too polite! She's hot, but reminds me too much of Camus! Geez, why all the hot chicks are stupid or have a cold temper?"
Meanwhile Jane arrived at the Cancer temple. This time she entered and said:
- Hello? Deathmask-sama?
- Yes? Who are you?
- Oh, hello! I'm Jane I have a meeting with Athena. May I pass?
Deathmask looked at her from head to toe and thought: "Man, she's hot! She's beautiful! And what deep brown eyes she has…" He snapped out of his dream state when she insisted once more:
- Excuse me? Hello?
- What? Oh, sorry I was thinking.
- So, can I pass?
- Sure. And what do you say about later the two of us go take a drink?
- Sorry I don't mix duty with pleasure.
- Duty?
- Yes, I'm here for work.
- Oh, then maybe when your work is done?
- Maybe. So, have a nice day.
She got out of the temple and went to the next one. When she got to the Leo temple Aiolia said:
- Hello, beauty!
- Excuse me? I like to be treated with respect!
- I didn't mean to offend you. I was only making an observation.
- Well, I didn't like it!
- I'm sorry. So what can I do for you?
- I need to pass. I have a meeting with Athena.
- Okay but will you come back?
She looked at him and tried to be polite but she was thinking: "For Athena! These men are perverts! They can't see a woman without flirting with her? Relax Jane, you are here to work. And maybe you are lucky enough to see two of your favourite Saints! Jane, stop it! You aren't here for watching men! So stop behaving like a crazy fan!" She returned her attention to Aiolia and said:
- Well, maybe after I finish my work.
- Hum, it's better than a "No".
- Have a nice day Aiolia-sama.
She left and went to the Virgo temple. There she found Shaka meditating. She didn't want to disturb him, but she needed to pass. So, she bended on her knees and said:
- Shaka-sama, please forgive my intrusion and interruption, but I need your permission to pass.
Jane expected a rough treatment for interrupting his meditation, but Shaka, who was really impressed by her actions, spoke with a calm voice.
- I forgive you. But who are you? And why do you want to pass?
- My name is Jane. I have a meeting with Athena.
- Athena-sama is expecting you?
- Yes she is.
- If that's the case, then you can pass.
- Thank you Shaka-sama. Have a nice day.
- You too.
She got up and went to the next temple: the Libra temple. At the entrance there was a note saying that Dohko was in China with his student to train. She passed the temple and reached the Scorpio temple. From outside she could hear several voices, still she entered. Inside there was Milo, Shura, Aiolos, Aphrodite and even Aiolia. When she entered all of them looked at her and Aiolia said:
- Well, if it isn't the beautiful woman that entered my temple a little while ago.
- Hello again Aiolia-sama. And hello Milo-sama, Shura-sama, Aiolos-sama and Aphrodite-sama.
Everyone was admiring her, only Aphrodite seemed a little uninterested, concentrated on twirling his hair around his finger. Then Milo said:
- Who are you?
- I'm Jane. And before you ask, I'm here for a meeting with Athena. And for that I need your permission to pass.
- Alright. You have my permission. But if you answer a few questions you have permission to pass on the other temples.
- What questions?
- First: Do you like the Saints?
- Yes, I do.
- Great! Second: What are your favourite Saints?
- I'm not going to answer that!
- Well, if you want to pass you have to answer. Right guys?
- Right!
Jane was loosing her temper when suddenly Camus appeared and said:
- What are all of you doing, making all of this noise?
Milo looked to his best friend and said:
- Camus! Look this is Jane, she's here to meet Athena, but we only let her pass if she answers some questions.
- Milo I don't have time for this!
- Relax.
Camus walked straight to the place where the other saints were without even taking a curious glance at the newcomer. After patting Camus on the shoulder Milo spoke once more:
- Well if you don't want to answer that question, answer this: What sign of the zodiac are you?
- I'm Pisces.
Hearing this Aphrodite said:
- Of course she is. She has class.
Before Milo could ask something Kanon appeared and asked:
- When is your birthday?
She was surprised when he appeared but answered:
- February 25th. Why?
- I figured. The ones that are born in February…
This made Jane and Camus ask at the same time:
- What do you have against people born in February?
Surprised by the other's answer, Camus finally looked at the girl and he was a little startled. She had a long and silk-looking hair that stopped at her waist. Her features made her look like a doll because of her big and bright brown eyes.
The others were looking at the two of them. Jane was the first to recover and said:
- I'm sorry I didn't want to lose my temper. Now may I pass?
- I have another question: What are your favourite Saints?
- Do I have to answer that?
- Yes. Why don't you want to answer?
- Because I'm here to work! All of you have your duty! And I have mine! I don't like to mix my personal life with my duty! In fact I don't like to talk about my personal life at all!
- Still, you have to answer!
- All right! I have three favourite Saints.
- Really?
- Yes. And the others please don't take it personal.
- Are the three of them Gold Saints?
- No, only two of them. The other is a bronze Saint.
- So tell us, who are they?
- May I tell the constellations?
- Yes.
- Okay then. Cygnus, Scorpius and Aquarius.
All of them shouted:
- What?
And Aphrodite overreacted a bit:
- What? You are a Piscean, but you don't like me? Next thing you are going to tell me that you don't like roses!
- But I do like roses. Especially if they are red.
- Really? You are forgiven! Now I have to go.
He went away and Camus said:
- I'll go too.
Soon he was gone and Milo said to Jane:
- You can pass now.
- Thank you. Have a nice day.
- Wait! Will you come to visit me?
- Sure.
She winked and left, leaving Aiolia looking at Milo furiously. She passed the Sagittarius temple and the Capricorn. Then she reached the Aquarius temple. She entered and said:
- Camus-sama, are you there?
Camus appeared from nowhere and said:
- Yes, I'm here. So you wish to pass?
- Yes, if you give me your…
Suddenly her mobile phone started to ring; her ringtone was the chorus of the music Aquarius from Aqua. She pushed her cell phone deeper into her bag.
- I'm sorry.
- You aren't going to answer?
- No, I'm talking with you, so it would be impolite.
- I don't mind if you answer. Probably it's your boss.
- Probably. Really, Camus-sama? May I?
He nodded and she answered the call. He had to admit that he liked the song. Maybe he could ask it to her, as a form of payment for letting her pass. When she finished the call she said:
- I'm sorry for my rudeness.
- It's okay.
- So, Camus-sama do you give me your permission to pass?
- In one condition.
- Sure, what is it?
- Can you give me a copy of that song that you use as your ringtone?
- Sure. Do you have a computer, a mobile phone…?
- You can put it on my mobile phone.
He gave her his mobile phone and she sent the music to it. In the end she gave it to him and said:
- There! It's done!
- Thank you. Now you may pass, but I'm going with you.
- Why?
- Because Aphrodite might cause you to faint with his roses and I don't want Athena-sama to lose her guest.
- Very well.
They both headed to the Pisces temple. When Aphrodite saw Camus together with Jane he said a little surprised:
- Camus? What are you doing here?
- I came to guarantee that you don't knock her out with your roses and that she arrives alive near Athena-sama.
- Alright. So Jane do you want to see my roses?
- Sure, but I can't stay long.
The three of them went to a room filled with roses. Aphrodite picked a red rose and showed it to Jane.
- If you smell this rose without fainting, you can pass.
- Okay.
She inhaled the rose's scent and didn't pass out. This surprised Camus a little; she was the first person that didn't faint when she smelled one of Aphrodite's roses. And he had to admit that she looked beautiful with her eyes closed and smelling a beautiful red rose. Slowly and discreetly he took his mobile phone and took her picture. However Aphrodite saw him but didn't say anything.
End of the 1st chapter.
Gelirya:
Chapter 2
A few moments later Jane was in Athena's private quarters. Saori looked at the woman in front of her and said:
- Jane, you might be wondering why would I ask you to come see me, am I right?
- Yes, Athena-sama.
- Well, I want to make a party, here in the Sanctuary for my Saints.
- Okay, when?
- Tomorrow.
- Tomorrow? But it's impossible!
- Jane, they told me you were the best. And I believe it. Here you have a list. Oh, and I want you to sign a contract with me.
- A contract?
- Yes, I want you to work for me.
- Okay.
She signed the contract and then she started to read the list. She noticed something and said:
- Athena-sama, there must be a mistake here in this list.
- Why do you say that?
- It says here that you want me to sing.
- That's right.
- But…
- I know you can sing; that music you have on your mobile phone I know you can sing it very well.
- Who…
- Your old boss. I want you to sing it tomorrow. Here, in this list you have the music I want you to play in the party.
She picked the other list and read it, most of them were marked. So she asked Saori:
- The marked ones are…
- Those are the ones I want you to sing.
- But those are the most of them!
- I want to hear your voice.
- Without being impolite let me say: Enfer!
- You speak French too?
- Yes I do. But I had bad experiences with French men.
- Really? You can tell me. I hope I can become your friend.
- Me too. But you can check my past if you want to, I don't like to speak of it.
She got up and started to walk down the stairs. Once again she had to pass the twelve houses. When she was passing the Pisces temple, Aphrodite noticed her tired expression so he got closer to her and asked:
- Is everything alright?
- No it isn't!
- What happened?
- Athena wants to make a party for the Saints, here in the Sanctuary.
- When?
- Tomorrow! I can't organize things that quickly alone! I can't!
- Calm down. Here take a seat.
He led her to the sofa and helped her sit down, and then he gave her a cup of tea.
- If you want to, I can help you.
- Really?
- Sure.
- Thank you Aphrodite-sama.
- You're welcome. I'll help you with the decoration, the costumes and make-up.
- You're my saviour!
- So, who are the singers?
- Well, I'm going to sing most of the songs.
- Really? Great! You have a great skin, a beautiful hair, a beautiful face… But I'm going to transform you in a way that all the men there tomorrow will fall in love with you.
- Well, I don't want that.
- It's an expression. But why do you hide your beautiful face behind your hair?
- I'm a little shy, so…
- Well tomorrow you can't be shy. Now let's prepare everything for tomorrow!
They left the Pisces temple and went to place to where Athena wanted the party and started preparing everything. At midnight everything was done: the decoration was done, the music was picked, the others singers were ordered, the food and drinks were being prepared and Aphrodite had made all of the costumes that Jane would wear. In the next day, the only thing that had to be done was the make-up. Aphrodite didn't feel tired, but Jane did. She hadn't eaten anything since lunch and she was weak. She was feeling absolutely exhausted and everything around her was spinning and then Jane fainted.
Aphrodite picked her up and went to the Scorpio temple, where he supposed the other Saints were. And he was right; they were all there, with the exception of Dohko that was in China. When they saw her fainted in the arms of Aphrodite, all of them hurried over to them and Camus spoke up:
- Aphrodite what the hell did you do to her?
All of them were shocked to hear Camus talk that way. He ignored the stares and continued:
- Well? If Athena-sama finds out…
- I didn't do anything! She's tired! I assume that all of you already know about the party tomorrow!
- Yes, and?
- Well I was helping her preparing it until now! I don't feel tired, but she does! And she didn't eat anything since she arrived here!
Without anything else to say, Camus went away but was looking carefully at everything they did to her. Truth be told, none of them knew how to treat her, and Athena had left so… It was up to Camus! Seeing that all of them were hitting on her face in an attempt to wake her up, Camus stood up from the sofa and without saying a word, he took her from Aphrodite's arms and laid her on the big sofa. He then turned to Milo and ordered:
- Go get me some clean towels and crackers!
- What are you going to do?
- Just do it!
Milo went away and all the Gold Saints were looking at everything Camus did. Then Aiolia asked:
- What are you going to do with the towels?
- I'm going to put them in her forehead.
- But for that, they need to be wet. Don't they?
- Yes, but I will use my Cosmo.
- And the crackers?
- It's for her to eat when she wakes up! It's obvious!
Milo came back with the towels and the crackers. Camus picked one towel, put it on her forehead and started to burn his Cosmo. Then Milo made the question that everyone was thinking but that none had the courage to make.
- Why are you so concerned about her?
Hearing this, made Camus think: "Yeah, why am I so concerned about her well being? Maybe… Maybe… What the hell is this felling? First I take her picture and now I take her from Aphrodite's arms? What… It can't be! I can't… Mon Dieu!"
Before he could think of any answer to give to Milo, Jane started to wake up:
- Where… Where am I?
And surprising everyone, Camus talked with a smooth voice, like a man who's talking to his lover.
- Stay down. You've fainted. You are in Scorpio temple.
- The preparations…
Aphrodite went near her and said:
- It's all done! Rest.
- But I…
Camus didn't let her talk. He picked one of the crackers, put it into her mouth and said:
- Eat this. You are weak and tired.
Then Milo asked:
- Where are you staying?
She was going to answer but Camus said:
- She is in no condition of staying alone. She has to stay here tonight. Aphrodite can she stay with you?
- Sure.
- Very well.
Camus picked her up and started to go to the Pisces temple, followed by Aphrodite. When they arrived, he indicated a bed where she was going to sleep and Camus laid her down. He was walking out of the bedroom when she said in a weak voice:
- Thank you Camus-sama. And I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused.
- You're welcome. And don't worry about it.
In the living room Camus said to Aphrodite before leaving:
- If you need help with her call me. Alright?
- Sure.
Camus went away and Aphrodite went to check on Jane. He found her crying and repeatedly saying:
- Pourquoi? Pourquoi?
Aphrodite didn't speak French, so telepathically he asked Camus:
- Camus, what does "Pourquoi" mean?
- It means "why". Why do you ask?
- Jane is saying that repeatedly.
Camus went silent and Aphrodite said:
- Well, thanks. Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
Aphrodite got closer to Jane, sat in the bed and asked:
- Why are you crying?
- Oh, Aphrodite-sama! It's nothing!
She cleaned her eyes and tried to force a smile. But Aphro didn't buy it.
- Jane, you can trust me. Tell me.
- Can you keep a secret? Between us two?
- Of course.
- Promise me you won't tell anyone! Not even Athena!
- I promise!
- Well, here it goes. To start, my birth name isn't Jane, it is Marie!
- Marie? But that's a…
- A French name, yes. I'm French.
- You are? But you have a British accent!
- Let me tell you the story, and then you'll understand.
- Very well. But first answer me one question: Have you ever met Camus before coming here?
End of chapter two.
Gelirya:
Chapter 3
- But first answer me one question: Have you ever met Camus before coming here?
- Why… why do you ask?
- Because of the way you looked at him the first time we met in the Scorpio temple.
- Yes I have met him before, but he doesn't recognize me. And I don't blame him. It was so many years ago. Let me get to the beginning. Several years ago, in Paris, in the day I was born my parents died. I don't know why, and I was delivered to my uncle that lived in Siberia. The truth is that my uncle was a Saint, the Gold Saint of Aquarius to be more exact.
This caused a reaction on Aphro, that said:
- What?
- Let me finish. One day, when I was 4 years old, my uncle brought a boy with my age and said that he was his student. This boy was Camus.
- What? You are the niece of Camus' master?
- Yes. Well, my uncle also trained me as a Saint, for three years I trained together with Camus. I have to admit that after a while, I had developed a crush on Camus. He wasn't like he is now. He was gentle and kind. He helped me a lot. Then it came the time for Camus to fight my uncle for the Gold Cloth. It's obvious what was the result, Camus won and my uncle died. I was present and I saw it. Since then he was never the same, neither was I. Some days later, some strange men came and took me away. Camus tried to fight them, but they were too many. It was the last time we saw each other. Those men took me to England and gave me a new name: Jane Thompson. They made Marie disappear from the face of the earth. Little by little I started to forget how to use my cosmos. How to summon my inner power. Over the years I followed the news about Camus. I knew that he had three students; that one supposedly died; etc… All these years I always knew what was happening to him. I had several relationships, some of them with French men, but none of them worked. My last boyfriend told me that I hadn't forgotten my first love. And it's true, I haven't. I still love Camus.
Stray tears fell from her eyes; Aphrodite was looking at her stunned. Then he managed to say:
- Why didn't you tell him who you really are?
- Because I'm part of his past and I don't have the right of being part of his life now.
- If you still love him…
- He's happy now! He has his friends, his student, he's happy! And that is enough for me! He thinks that Marie died and it's better that way.
- Then why were you crying?
- Because sometimes my heart still longs for him. And seeing him so close and… My heart is weak!
- You're wrong. Your heart is very strong. But maybe you should think again about not telling him. Now rest! Tomorrow you need to be in great shape!
He got up, exited the bedroom and went to bed.
In the next morning, Aphro awoke a little earlier than usual and went to the Aquarius temple. Camus was eating his breakfast when he saw Aphro, and surprised he said:
- Aphrodite? What are you…?
Then a thought came to his mind and he asked:
- Something happened with Jane?
- No, relax! I want to ask you something.
- What is it?
- Why do you went silent last night when I told that Jane was saying that?
- It was nothing!
- Camus, please tell me. I'm your friend. And I saw you taking her picture yesterday.
Camus blushed when he heard that and said:
- Alright! She looks like someone I knew a long time ago. And knowing that she speaks French it was another coincidence. But that person is dead.
Aphro knew very well about whom Camus was talking about and he knew that she wasn't dead. But he acted as though he didn't know anything.
- Was that the reason that made you so concerned about her?
Camus didn't answer and looked at Aphro straight in the eyes. He understood that Camus didn't want to talk anymore, so he left to his own temple. Some hours later Aphro was watching the rehearsals. He had to admit that Jane had a beautiful voice.
Two hours later it was time of the party. All the Saints were there: Bronze Saints, Silver Saints and Gold Saints including Dohko that had returned. Saori was there also. Only Aphrodite and Jane were backstage. She wasn't the first one to act, but Aphro was assuring that she was perfect for when it was her turn. The other singers and musicians were observing her. From her costume to her make-up, she was beautiful!
Meanwhile, Saori was talking to the Gold Saints.
- It was really strange.
Milo heard that and asked:
- What was strange, Athena-sama?
- Last night I was looking at Jane's past.
- And?
- And I couldn't find anything before she had 7 years old. It's like before that she didn't existed! I didn't even find a birth certificate!
- But that's impossible!
- I know.
Even if it didn't seem like it, Camus was paying attention to every word that was being said. Suddenly Hyoga took him out of his dream state:
- Master! Who is this woman that everybody is talking about?
- You are going to see her when she sings.
- Oh, I hope she sings well.
- Athena-sama says she does.
Then before any of them could speak again, the first band went to the stage. They were called Make Up and were going to sing "Pegasus Fantasy" everyone in the Sanctuary loved that song; the next one would be Hironobu Kageyama & Broadway singing "Soldier dream" another popular music in the Sanctuary. After them it would be Jane's turn, interpreting two songs of Olivia Lufkin: "Starless Night" and "Wish". When she entered the stage all of the Saints were amazed, even the Goldies and especially Camus; she was wearing a long white dress and her hair was adorned with white roses. They were surprised when she started to sing, she had a beautiful voice! Camus was speechless and when Hyoga talked to him, he could only say:
- Hum…
- Master Camus she's so beautiful! Can you introduce me to her?
When he noticed that his student was interested in her, he said:
- She's older than you!
Aphrodite got closer to Hyoga and said in low voice near his ear.
- Hyoga, I'm sorry but her heart is already occupied.
- By who?
- I can't say that, sorry. But I can say that you know him. Now I have to get her ready.
He returned backstage and Within Temptation started to sing "Angels", then "Jillian" and finally "Stand my Ground". It was Jane's turn again, this time she would interpret two songs of Cascada: "Evacuate the dance floor" and "Can't stop the rain". The audience was once again amazed when she appeared wearing a blue mini skirt, with a silver top, black high heel boots and her hair was straight but not in front of her eyes. They had to admit that Aphrodite had done a great work with her. In those two songs she had a very active and provocative choreography, making Camus blush a little when he looked at her body. When Aphro went near his fellows Gold Saints and Athena, Aiolia said:
- You did a great work with her! She's even hotter than she was! I never thought that it could be possible!
- I didn't do anything! She's very beautiful. I didn't put any make-up on her. She doesn't need it. I almost dare to say that she's as beautiful as the goddess Aphrodite.
When she finished singing, Aphro went backstage again. Meanwhile Ikimono Gakari was singing "Sakura" and "Hana wa sakura kimi wa utsukushi". In the backstage, Aphro was preparing Jane when she suddenly asked:
- What is Athena-sama thinking of the party?
- She's liking it.
- Really?
- Yes. Relax. You have a lot of fans there. All the men were stunned when you appeared on stage. And believe me it's a hard thing to do, impress all those men!
- I don't care about the other men.
- Yes, I know but he like it too.
- Are you sure?
- Yes I am. But I have to warn you, Hyoga is interested in you.
- But I don't like him that way.
- Don't worry I told him your heart was occupied. And besides, Camus was the first to tell him that you were older than him and therefore out of his reach.
Minutes later Jane was on stage to interpret a song of Mizuki Nana "Discotheque" and a song of Hitomi Shimatani "Angelus". This time she was wearing a red mini skirt and a top, and had a red rose in her hair. Those were the last songs before a break for the artists. When she ended, Aphro helped her to get down of the stage and they went near the Bronzies, the Goldies and of course, Athena. Seeing her, the Bronzies and even the Goldies were amazed by how she looked more beautiful that she seemed in distance. Ignoring the looks, Jane asked Saori:
- So, Athena-sama are you liking the party so far?
- Yes I am Jane. You and Aphrodite did a great work. And let me say, you have a beautiful voice.
- Thank you Athena-sama.
- You're welcome. Now let me introduce you to the Bronze Saints: Seiya, Shiryu, Shun, Ikki and Hyoga.
She shook their hands and before she could say anything, the singer that was going to sing the first song after the break, went to the stage. It was a French singer, Calogero and he was going to sing "En Apesanteur". When he started singing, Jane started singing too in low voice. Then suddenly Milo asked:
- What is the song about?
None of the Saints could tell him, because they didn't speak French, so he turned to Camus that said:
- I'm not going to tell you!
- Why?
- Because! Enfer!
Then Milo noticed Jane was singing.
- You speak French?
- Yes. Why?
- Can you tell me what is the song about?
- Sure. The song tells the story of a man and a woman in an elevator, and he fantasies about…things with that woman.
- Oh, thanks.
- You're welcome.
- Do you like this song?
- Yes, it's one of my favourites.
When the song ended, another singer entered the stage, Emmanuel Moire with the song "Mon Essentiel" This time Jane had to go backstage with Aphro to get ready. Then she entered the stage, wearing a mini dress and interpreted Heart with the song "Alone". Aphro knew that Jane felt every word of that song. When it ended she went backstage, changed her clothes and surprised everyone when she returned to sing "Aquarius" of Aqua. She was wearing a shinny ice blue, long and sleeveless dress, with a silver high heel sandals and her hair was curled. Resuming, she was astonishing! When she started singing Camus was speechless once again. The music looked heavenly in her voice. Then when she reached the middle of the song, she started crying and her cosmo started to appear. Everyone in the room was surprised. But Camus couldn't believe it! He knew that cosmo! A cosmo so strong that almost could equalize Athena's! Hyoga turned to Camus and said:
- Master the air is turning colder!
- Absolute zero!
- What?
- I told you that only two people before you could reach absolute zero!
- Yes, your master and…
- And her!
All of the Gold Saints were looking at Camus, and Aphro asked:
- Do you remember her now?
- You knew?
- Yes she told me last night.
- Is it really her?
- Yes.
She ended the song, Camus went near the stage, helped her getting down and Milo asked:
- What are both of you talking about?
Camus didn't answer him; he was looking at Jane straight in the eyes.
- Marie?
End of chapter 3.
Gelirya:
Chapter 4
Camus was looking at Jane straight in the eyes.
- Marie?
- You still remember my cosmo after all these years?
He embraced her, surprising everyone, and said:
- How could I forget? We need to talk, let's go.
Without saying anything else he took her to the Aquarius temple. There Camus said:
- What happened? During all these years…
Jane didn't let him finish, putting a finger over his lips.
- Calm down. Let me explain. Those men took me to England and named me Jane Thompson, the name I use now. They made Marie disappear from the face of the earth. Over these 13 years I always knew what was happening with you. I don't know if that was their idea of torture, but everyday until now, they would tell me what you had done that day.
- But why didn't you give me some signs that you were alive?
- Because they didn't let me. And with time I convinced myself that it would be better that way.
- What? How could you think that way? For years I've tried to find you, but I never did! So I started convincing myself that you were dead! Do you realise the pain it was? You were the only person I had left!
- I know that! I suffered too!
- Then why didn't you tell me who you really were when you came yesterday?
- Because I thought, and I still do, that I have no right of being part of your life anymore.
Camus was shocked when he heard that. He got closer to her, touched her face and said:
- Please don't say that! Promise me that you will stay here with me!
- I can't.
- Why?
She let her tears fall.
- Because over the years, my feelings for you didn't change!
He looked at her with loving eyes and said:
- Neither did mine. That's why I'm asking you to stay with me.
She looked at him surprised and started saying:
- Camus…
But he didn't let her finish and kissed her on the lips. They were so entranced in the kiss, that they didn't realize that the Goldies, the Bronzies and Saori arrived in that instant. They were agape, with the exception of Aphro, who was smiling. Since Aphrodite didn't want to ruin the moment, he took the others out of there.
When they stopped kissing, Camus said in a smooth voice:
- Je t'aime.
She smiled and said:
- Je t'aime aussi.
He kissed her again and then he said:
- Stay here. Please, don't go.
- I signed a contract with Athena so, I'll stay here as long as she wants to.
- Good, but I mean here in my house. I want you to live here with me.
She was speechless, Camus smiled and said:
- Please say something. Say yes.
She recovered, smiled and said:
- Yes, I'll stay.
Camus embraced her tightly.
- I'll call Aphrodite to warn him and to tell him to send your clothes. I know he went to get them last night.
- Thank you. May I ask something?
- Sure.
- I don't want to ruin the dress and I really need a bath, so…
- You can take a bath, and you can use any of my clothes. Feel comfortable in doing what you want. Now this is your house too.
- Merci. But I don't want to touch your things without permission.
- Well you have my permission. My clothes are in the closet, you can chose whatever you like. The towels are in the bathroom closet. Oh, and the bathroom is in the bedroom.
- Okay thank you. I won't take long.
He kissed her, she went away and he called Aphrodite:
- Aphrodite, I'm calling to warn you that Jane is going to stay here in my house.
- Great! I'm glad for both of you!
- Thanks. And I'm going to ask you for a couple of favours.
- Sure, what is it?
- First, can you tell Athena–sama and the others, without too many details, what is going on?
- Sure, but I have to warn you, that we all saw both of you kissing.
- What? I didn't…
- I know you didn't sense us. It was obvious. Milo and the others wanted to know what was happening between you and Jane, so we went to your house and we saw you kissing her. I took them away, but they were more curious then ever. So it will be good to clarify to them your relationship with her.
- Okay. The second favour that I wanted to ask you is if you mind bringing her clothes here.
- No, I don't mind. By the way where is she now?
- She's taking a bath. She doesn't want to ruin your dress. By the way, you did a great job with her today.
- Thanks, but I'm going to tell you something that I didn't tell her: My goal tonight, was that both of you ended up together. So I made everything in my power to make her sexy for you.
Camus was speechless but then said:
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
They hung up, and a few minutes later Jane's clothes were in the Aquarius temple. Sometime later Camus was in the living room reading when he heard a female voice saying:
- I see you still like reading.
He turned and saw Jane wearing one of his shirts that in her looked like a mini dress, but a very sexy one. He blushed slightly.
- Wow!
She smiled and got closer to him.
- Do you like what you see?
He grabbed her, sat her in his lap and said:
- Yes, I like it very much.
- Really?
- Yes. By the way your clothes are here.
- Oh, thanks.
- But please, wear my clothes more often.
- Why?
- Because you look really sexy with them.
She looked him straight in the eyes and said:
- You think I'm sexy with your clothes?
- I think you're sexy with whatever you wear. I even think you're sexy without wearing anything.
This made Jane to blush and Camus to smile, then he said:
- Why are you blushing?
- Because of what you said.
- Are you embarrassed?
- A little.
- Don't be.
He kissed her passionately, she put her arms around his neck, and he picked her up, heading towards the bedroom.
Sometime later, they were both lying in bed and suddenly Camus spoke up:
- Today you were amazing on stage.
- Thank you. I'm glad to hear that from you.
- You're welcome. Marie?
- Yes?
- Please don't leave me again!
- I won't. I promise.
He pulled her closer to him and gave her a peck on the lips.
- You were also very beautiful in those costumes. But, then again, you are always beautiful.
- Thank you. Camus, can I tell you something?
- Sure, what is it?
- Your friends are little perverts.
He turned to face her with a frown.
- What do you mean?
- Well, yesterday as I was passing through the temples, some of them started to flirt with me.
- What?
Camus was a little angry and jealous and was thinking: "I know she's beautiful, hot and sexy, but she's mine! I'm going to freeze whoever did this!"
Meanwhile Jane was trying to ease him up.
- Camus calm down.
- Who was it?
- I'm not going to tell you, unless you calm down! You don't have any reason for being jealous! I'm here with you!
- I know that. Okay I'm calm, now who was it?
- Deathmask and Aiolia.
- I should have imagined! What did you say to them?
- I was trying to be polite, so I said that I don't mix duty with pleasure.
- Okay, but if I hear anything from their mouths that's somewhat related to you, like what happened in the party where Aiolia said you look hotter… I'll freeze them!
- Alright, but now relax. And if that happens, remember how we are now. I'm in your bed with you, not in theirs, not with them. I made love to you, not with them.
- I know. I'm sorry for being like that, but I don't want to lose you again!
- You won't.
She kissed him passionately and before anything else could happen, they felt a cosmo get closer to the temple and Camus stated:
- It's Hyoga's cosmo.
They got up and started to dress. They reached the living room in time to see Hyoga entering the temple. When he saw them together, Hyoga blushed and said:
- Master I'm sorry for evading your temple this way, but I wanted to ask if what Aphrodite said was true.
Camus looked at Jane and said:
- Yes, Hyoga it's true. Why do you ask?
- It's just that it's odd seeing you with someone. But I'm glad for you master!
- Thank you Hyoga.
- Your welcome. Oh, and I'm glad for you too miss… Err… Should I call you Jane or…
- You may call me Jane.
- Oh, ok. I'm glad for you too miss Jane.
- Thank you.
- Well I should get going. Bye.
They both said:
- Bye.
Camus looked at Jane and said:
- Do you really prefer being called Jane?
- No, it's just that only you can call me Marie.
End of chapter 4.
