Our Memories

Part One

"So, There it is! Milos Island!" The seven years old blue hair boy shouted excitedly, tugging the hand of his calmer friend toward the front of the small fisherman boat. On the same time his purple hair friend, Mu elevated to the same direction while the biggest boy of them run toward it.

"So that is your home, Milo?" Mu said in curiousness, he had just notice that the boy disappeared for two weeks for the last two years while the other gold saints' candidate rarely leave sanctuary.

"Yep!" Milo's eyes twinkled slightly. Every year since he was taken away from the island, papacy always makes sure to let him back to it for 15 or so days. At first, it was really strange to be separate from his friends and papacy but as soon as he was carried into his supposed to be his former home and settled down with a man who was quite familiar, who's turn out to be his dad, the boy can't wait to be back. This year, he finally attained his gold cloth and would be on advance training so papacy had decided to let all the 'just graduated' gold saints to spend one month as they please before sending them scattered around the globe to finish their training.

The trio older gold saints had decided to venture out to Europe and accompany by a silver saint much to Deathmask's dismay. The 13 years old twin and reluctant Aiolos (since he had to left his brother while Aiolia was adamantly to stay with his friends) had gone to travel around Greece, lucky for them that they were deemed responsible enough to not get into a trouble or two so there was no chaperone assigned for the trio oldest. Now then… the younger six had decided to stay in Sanctuary for a while but without any schedule, the boys were all bored. And after the dead half-burned frogs found in papacy favorite hot spring water, Shion had enough and decided to send all of them to the place 'where they are safe and a bonus babysitter who would be very responsible with the kids since one of them is his son'. That's why, here they are; standing near the railing as the boat slowly approached the island.

"Um… are you guys all right though?" The aquamarine hair boy asked while looking at two figures who were still sitting on the floor,looking pale green.

"Urgh…" was all that Shaka could manage while Aiolia began to gag once again. Except Milo obviously, they were all first timer on the boat. No effect at all on Alderbaran and Camus, while Mu elevated quickly as he felt a slight nausea. Shaka at first tried his meditation but it proven was a bad idea as he couldn't focus on it at all and Aiolia, well… as soon as the boat took off, he began to gag and throw up.

Minutes later, the boat finally stopped near the small deck on the small island, Aiolia quickly ran out and planted his legs into the wooden deck.

"Land! Finally!" He cried loudly almost wanted to kiss the plank… Shaka though wobbly was walking toward the plank in a more reserved manner but relief had been shown on his face.

"You, all right?" The youngest saint asked in concern.

"I need to refocus my meditation…" he murmured, a little disappointed with himself, Mu was patting him his back slightly.

Alderbaran, Milo and Camus finally moved down from the boat each with two duffel bags. The just graduated Scorpio saint grinned slightly, it feel good to be back.

After they said their goodbye to the boat captain who promised to pick them up in 2 weeks, the boys finally walked along toward the center of this small village. Milo couldn't contain his excitement as he followed the same familiar road toward his house. The small fishing village wasn't big, most of people seemed to know Milo too as they were greeting him when the blue hair kid passed them. Some were curious about his other companion but decided to let them be.

Finally running toward the familiar white house near the second level on the fishing village, they quickly found a blue short hair man with sun tan skin which age around 30 or so year, wearing nothing except a blue knee length short; who was busy sewing fish net while sitting down on the cut tree trunk. The man had noticed the children quickly. "Dad!" Milo shouted in excitement as he launched himself into the man. The man let out a gruff as he felt the impact; he had already moved his hand to the air just to avoid poking the kid with his net sewing kit. Instead of welcoming, he glared but the kid didn't faze at all as he let out another grin.

"Milo, what did I tell you about launching yourself like that when I am repairing my fishing net?" He asked sternly.

"Dad, I miss you." The blue hair kid said as he gave the man another hug, the man sighed though his eyes had soften down and moved his free hand onto his little boy hair, caressing slightly.

"Welcome back, son." He finally looked toward the group of kids which was following Milo and smiled. "And you lots supposed to be his comrades' right? Papacy had told me that you all also Gold Saints?" He said in curiosity.

"Yes, Dad. This is Camus!" Milo suddenly jumped and run back, quickly tugging his younger friend forward. The Aquarius saint felt his cheek heat up a little as he murmuring a polite 'hello'. "That yellow hair is Shaka, and Mu, and toothless Aio and that Big Al."

"Gold not yellow!" He frowned quickly while Aiolia immediately shout an 'Oi!' He was missing one of his front tooth, naturally of course, which happened 2 days earlier. Hence, the new nickname. Mu was chuckling lightly before he say a 'Hi'. Alderbaran just puffed his chest proudly.

"Welcome, kids." He said as he was surveying the boys. "I will be done with this net so… Milo, take your friends inside to store the bags, and." He paused. "You can play at the beach but." He continued as he glared with threat. "Do Not Go To That Jumping Cliff."

"Aw but, Dad!" He pouted lightly. The other looked at him curiously.

"I don't want to fish you guys out dead or dying." Camus twitched lightly. 'Dying?'

"But I'm gold saint!" His boy argued.

"Precisely." He continued, glowering even further. He knew exactly Milo would be doing just that, with or without warning.

"But that will be boring."

"Milo…" He warned.

"… fine…" The boy paused before he let out a grin. "Only that cliff, right?" Oh, he knew what this mean, after all Milo is his kid.

"Including the entire high cliff that you like to jump, surrounding the beach." He processed with his net.

"Geez! Dad!"

"I mean it."

"Fine." He sighed before motioning the other to walk toward his house.

"Dinner will be ready at 7. Be back before sun down." He said as he went back into sewing his net but he had a feeling that he missed something…

Saint

Seiya

An hour later after dropping the bags, the kids were walking not toward the beach but more toward the forest.

"Um, Milo. We are not going to the beach, are we?" Mu was the first one to raise this question as they hiked more into the forest following a small trail. Camus only rolled his eyes while murmuring 'obviously.' Shaka had found a moving stick like insect and was letting it go toward the tree, while Alderbaran followed behind with a bag packed full of snack and water, of course some clothes and towels. Aiolia walked near Milo with stick on his hand, swinging like it was a sword.

"Nope." He said grinning slightly. "Dad didn't say anything about the waterfall, he said beach." There was groan come from Shaka and Camus. The group had found out long ago; that the Scorpio saint could always find something interesting to do. Though Camus, Mu, and Shaka might against it at first, it didn't long for them to be joining in… well, this is Milo, and they all knew this kid gonna be the end of them anyway…

"Waterfall?" Aiolia said in curiosity.

"Yup, though the jump won't be that high."

"I don't see the thrill of jumping." Camus pointed out. They are saints, gold saint to be exact, and its part of their training to jump up and down the cliff.

"What is thrill? Don't use big word!" Aiolia was the first one to complain, as Milo and Alderbaran looked at him in confused.

"A sudden feeling of excitement and pleasure." Shaka helped, but it went into deaf ears as Milo shout.

"We're close, race you there." He said as he dashed forward into the sound of waterfall, the sound was not that big but they all could already hear it.

"EH! You cheat!" Aiolia finally ran, followed by Aldebaran. Shaka was pondering for a split second but sprinted forward. Well, its child play but he hates losing in something. Camus just sighed in annoyance as he looked at Mu.

"You don't run?"

"Nope." The youngest saint was giving him his toothy grin before he placed his hand on the ice boy who looked at him suspiciously. "Ready?"

"Wait! Don-" Camus was quickly cut as they both teleported, correction… Mu teleported, he just had to include the protested Aquarius…

Moment later…

The punchbowl waterfall was not that big, the high point was only 4 meters but the water that surrounded the place was clear and deep, it moved toward the shallower river with fishes sometimes swimming around quietly. Interesting thing was one big boulder strategically perked 3 meters above the pool as if daring everyone to took a run and jumped into.

"I win." Milo laughed as he stopped near dry big rock near the stream.

"Not fair!" The Leo saint shouted as Virgo saint glared in displeasure.

"And I have a bagpack too!" Alderbaran was puffing slightly, but quickly put the bag onto the ground.

"Where's Mu and Camus?" Milo finally asked as he looked around but found no one behind the Big Al. Then there's a shriek and a splash as everyone turned around to find the Aquarius saint sat in the middle of the shallow river, pant soaked, glaring up toward the elevated Mu.

"Er… sorry, Camus." The Aries saint uttered, he scratched his head awkwardly before giving out a small nervous chuckle. "My fault." The usual cold kid was cursing under his breath as he stood up and walked from the ankle size stream toward the drier land, followed by still flying violet hair saint, apologizing once more. There were chuckles came from the group as Camus strolled toward them as he glared.

"Yosh, you see that rock, right?" Milo grinned as he stripped his shirt.

"That is not as high as our training ground." Shaka was moving some small pebbles from small flat decent size stone; and finally after it was up to his standard, sat down crossed leg in meditating manner. Camus was now in his blue underwear, had already removed his wet pant and trying to press out all the water, still giving Mu a cold glance once in a while. Alderbaran had put the pack down and found a big enough rock to sit. Aiolia was looking at the boulder before saying that it was not that fun when he saw Milo pull down his boxer.

"What's ya doing?" The Leo saint said in confused as the group finally notice their temporary leader had stripped naked.

"I'm going for a jump." The blue hair saint grinned as he moved toward the boulder.

"Like that?!" Mu croaked horrified as Shaka raised one of his eyebrows. Camus rolled his eyes; this is Milo after all. Alderbaran had just pulled out the string on the bag when he stopped as he noticed the event.

"Yeah." The Scorpio saint shouted as he jumped up to the boulder and moved as far as he possibly could from the pool. It was not long before he ran and a yell of 'YAHOO!' could be heard followed by a splash. Second later, he surfaced and yelled something bout cold but grinned. "Come on, try it." He swam around and dived down several times, just enjoying the clear water.

"…" Aiolia paused as if he was pondering but his eyes lit and began undressing.

"I don't think that is fun though." Shaka shrugged as he closed his eyes, clearly not impress. The emerald hair saint had moved his pant and let it dried on the nearby rock; he paused before shrugging; he moved his shirt down, just enough to cover his bottom and removed his underwear, giving it another squish so the water can be drain from it. Mu had finally sitting down and watching the Scorpio saint in interest, it looked like the swimmer is having a good time… while Alderbaran had opened the bag and fished out some cookie package before opening it up and began munching.

Meanwhile, the Leo saint had already jumped to the boulder and moving to the tip of it, he's slowly looking down into the pool where Milo moved further from the jumping point and looked up.

"Like Dad always said, feet first straight line!"

"What is straight line?" the Leo shouted back.

"Hands pressed on your side." The Aquarius helped as he put his wet underwear beside his wet pant. There's 'O' from the boulder and seconds later, the yell 'Canon Ball!' could be heard as another splash followed.

"AIYEEE! THIS IS COLD!" The brown hair shrieked lightly, Milo just laughed as he swam around the place, just enjoying the water. Meanwhile Camus peered at the water; he looked back at his wet article before taking his shirt off and putting it beside the pant. Alderbaran blinked as Mu widen his eyes, even Shaka raised his eyesbrown. The usual ice-cold-always-think-like-an-adult Camus was actually trotting in birthday suit toward waterfall?! That was new!

"What?" The current Aquarius saint said as he aware of their surprise face. "The water looks cold and I'm already wet, thanks to someone." He said with a blank face as Mu once again grinned nervously. But as soon as Camus neared the water, Milo purposely jumped from the water and moved in front of him.

"You need to jump if you want to come here." He challenged as he crossed his hands, still grinning though… Camus stared threathenly but it was a loss cause; his best friend was immune to it and… adding up with his current condition, no one would take him seriously. He sighed in annoyed but walked toward the boulder, getting a chuckle from the blue hair boy and a 'way to go, ice boy!' from Aiolia. The three who were still sitting on the rocks just watching the event unfold, wondering if their friend had hit his head first on last teleport…

Camus was peering at the water from the tip of the perked rock and ready to jump before Milo protested. "Camus! You have to run first."

"No, you said jump not run and jump."

"But"

"No."

"That's boring!" Aiolia also objected lightly

"No, is not."

"Augh! Fine." Milo shouted as he moved further from the jumping area. Second later there was a small splash of water, more like a grateful kind of jump that done by platform diving athlete then the last two jumps. Mixed reaction for the jump though, as the Scorpio saint clapped but Aiolia frowned in disappointed. Camus immediately resurfaced; his usually cold manner seemed soften a little as he let out a small smile.

"See. It fun isn't it?" His friend swam around him alternating between backstroke and freestyle chuckling.

"No, it's not." He uttered though the faint smile still adored his face as he's enjoying the cold pool, stroking forward lazily around the water.

Saint

Seiya

Alderbaran took the water thermos from his bag and sipped before he stood. "I'll show you the bigger splash you ever see." He announced and then began to strip.

"Hah! As if you can defeat my Canon Ball." The Leo saint challenged but it was soon silent as the oldest saint jumped to the boulder and began his run, jumped toward the water. Big splash of water was everywhere showering the group; Mu and Shaka were caught off guard as they both were drizzling with it. The blonde hair saint growled in annoyed as drops of water dripped comically from his hair.

"Aw, man…" Mu was slapping water from his shirt to no avail as he finally taking off his cloth and squashed the liquid out. Alderbaran had laughed loudly, winning the sudden game. Thus the competition on as the two boys began to try to make bigger splashes, Milo alternating on jumping occasionally or swimming with the Aquarius saint. Alderbaran even went as far as making himself like a ball just to make the splash bigger. The Aries saint was still sitting on the rock next to Shaka and finally put his wet shirt down when the blonde gave him a sigh.

"Mu, if you want to go, just go."

"Eh?" He blinked as he moved his head toward his meditating friend. "Um, nah is ok."

"Mu, really, I'm ok, go." The Aries saint let out a 'hmm' before uncertainly said. "Are you sure?"

"Oi, it's not like you guys leaving me alone, right? I'm just… what, 2 meters away?" The Virgo saint flatly said as matter of fact, not taking any interest in the game but shifted his position into a more relax stated. After pondering for some time, Mu finally nodded, he began to strip too and teleport beside Alderbaran who was just about to run to the pool.

"Hoah!" The bull star almost ran toward the younger saint. "Geez, don't teleport suddenly like that." There's a chuckle before the younger apologized.

"Oi, Mu! Come on. Jump!" Aiolia grinned

"Yeah! Mu!" Milo also shouted encouraging. Mu examined the water below quietly before he moved back. Alderbaran already motioned him to jump first so… as soon as he was in position, he ran. The cold water had quickly surrounded his body, threatening his mouth to shout but he quickly moved and kicked his legs and surfaced from the depth.

"Gah! Cold!" Now… no wonder, Camus enjoyed himself being in this water… but even though it was cold, the sun could also be seen through the forest trees, and sometimes if they need to, the boys could bath directly under the warm light. It was not that long before Mu paused from his swim as he looked back at the sole friend who was still sitting on the rock.

"… I wish he join in."

"Nah we know Shaka's a spoilsport." Aiolia stated as he moved avoiding Alderbaran that seemed ready to wrestler the boy down due to his mischievous splash to the Taurus saint's face earlier.

"No, he's not, he just don't brother." The youngest boy argued defending his friend.

"…" Camus looked to the blonde boy before he looked back at the group, motioned his friends to gather around and whispered.

"EH?" Mu was quite shock but quickly clamped his mouth, most of the boys just grinned except Camus of course, he just shrugged but his eyes shown a rare playfulness.

Shaka was trying to focus on his breathing as he heard creak sound of someone or something's moving, he could heard the splashes of water from distance but strangely, the sound of laughter that he heard before wasn't present anymore. He could feel the cosmos of his friends though… 'Odd…' he thought to himself as he felt Alderbaran's cosmos came toward him followed by Milo's and Aiolia. He could feel Mu was moving away from the stream too but there were nervous atmosphere on it. Camus was nowhere though. 'Wait? Where is Camus?' He was opening his eyes only to find Alderbaran in front of him, grinning. Before he could even yell a 'What?' the other two quickly moved light speed behind him. It happened so quickly as he felt his cloth stripped from his body, they had wrestlers him down on that flat rock, throwing his cloth one by one. "Damnit, monkeys!" was the only two words came out from his mouth later.

"Shaka, language!" could be heard from surprisingly Milo but well, he was practically grinning at him! And who cares about language! This is an assault! And as if on cue, as soon as they released his body, he jumped up in anger, naked by the way… but before he could even punch whoever closer, he felt a cosmos surrounding him and teleported him exactly to the tip of the jumping boulder.

"The hell!" He could not believe that Mu was joining into the mission and then… he felt an ice cold hand on his back which made him jump forward in surprise. The result was predictable, he cursed loudly once again but still… forgetting his ability to levitate, gravity took the job as he plunged into the cold water below.

To be continued...
