Saint Seiya Fairy Tale: Beauty and the Beast

Camus still felt uneasy about the circumstance regarding Prince Angelo and the beast. There was something unnerving about them, like there was a big piece of the puzzle missing, but Camus couldn’t put his finger on it. Hyoga nudged his brother, “hey Camus, why do you always look like you are in a daze?” “Huh? What?,” Camus replied.

Hyoga laughed, “well you just proved my point. . .but I was asking why you are always in a daze.” Camus looked at Hyoga, “well. . .I still want some of my questions answered, and I guess I am just impatient.” Hyoga’s eyes widened, “wow, I have never thought of you as impatient.” Camus grabbed his little brother and gave him a big hug, “is that because you are typically impatient?” Hyoga gave him an innocent look and began laughing.

Kanon walked over to his younger brothers, “hey guys. . .you know what I was just thinking, let’s have a party to celebrate Camus’s return.” Camus looked up at Kanon, “as much as I would appreciate that, I cannot help but think that all of the townspeople are just going to ask me nonstop questions about how I survived there. . .which is something I do not want to deal with; besides he let me go.” Saga sighed, “but if you get it over with now, then people will eventually forget about the whole things and everything will go back to normal.”

Camus sighed, he didn’t know how he could tell Saga and Kanon that he willingly wants to go back. They will most likely think that it is some spell that is forcing him to go back. He decided that he better play the victim if he wanted to avoid a large party, “I am also feeling very drained. . .I am just not up for guests.” Saga’s face softened, and he gave Camus a soothing hug, “It’s alright Camus, of course we understand. I see that you have been trying very hard to remain strong when in the face of difficulty. . .I apologize Camus.” Camus felt a little guilty but relieved nonetheless, “Thank you, dear brother.”

Hyoga rolled his eyes, he knew that Camus wanted to go back. If Camus wanted to go back so badly, then why didn’t he just tell them? Hyoga sighed and headed out to see Shun.

Kanon smiled at Camus, “you know Camus, I have a big surprise for you.” Camus quirked an eyebrow, “Should I be scared?” Kanon grinned wide, “Yup!” Just then Camus felt hands cover his eyes, and he almost fell out of his chair in surprise. “Guess who!” the owner of the hands said in a disguised voice.

Camus smiled, even disguised he knew that voice. “Oh come on now, Milo, you sound like you do when you have a cold,” Camus peeled Milo’s hands off of his face. Milo smirked, “hey there sexy, you miss me?” Camus was very happy that his best friend was there, he hadn’t seen him in almost a year.

Camus smiled, “why the hell would I ever miss you?” Milo smiled, “because you love me. That’s why. ^_^” Camus rolled his eyes, “sure Milo. . .sure. And Kanon, this was a scary surprise.” Kanon grinned. Milo smiled widely, “Okay Camus, show me to your chambers.” Camus laughed and brought Milo to his room. Milo sat on Camus’s bed and hugged Waddles. “Damn it’s nice to see Waddles again,” Milo gave the penguin the biggest hug he could. Camus sighed, “Hey, Milo. . .what are you really doing in Port City?”

Milo looked down, “well. . .Aioria contacted me. . .he said that you were imprisoned by some kind of beast. . .but then when I arrived, Shura and Aioros told me that you were safely home. I talked to Saga and Kanon about the details already, but I gotta say Cam. . .they think that you are overwhelmed or something like that, and that your perception of the beast is. . .er. . .off somehow.”

Camus frowned, “Milo. . .out of anyone that I know, I think you are the only one who will hear me out. Listen, the beast released me due to his own accord. . .and the beast was only upset because of my father’s action. . .to the beast those flowers meant everything. . .” Camus told Milo the entire story of his experiences in the enchanted castle, along with all of the new information regarding Prince Angelo.

Milo patiently listened to Camus talk and stayed quiet. When Camus was finished, Milo closed his eyes. “Wow Camus. . .that is quite an adventure you’ve had. . .I am still trying to process the situation but from what I can tell. . .oh hell Camus. . .I’m still stuck on the idea that you think that a dream prince made you lose your virginity.”

Camus glared at Milo, “is that the only thing you heard me say?” Milo grinned, “no, but that is the main part that caught my attention. . .although I also gotta say, any beast who can make a delicious pasta sauce is worth befriending.” Camus rubbed his head with his hands, “Milo. . .thanks for trying to cheer me up.” Milo smiled and rested a hand on Camus’s shoulder, “no prob cutie! But if you really want to go back to him to ask about this prince guy. . .then I’ll notify Aioria to postpone the guild.” Camus’s eyes widened, “you would!?”

Milo smirked, “of course Camus. . .you are like family to me; besides the last thing I want is for you to be sad because you can’t go ask the beast those questions. My only request is that you have him make me a jar of pasta sauce. ^_^” Camus smiled, “you say you are like family to me. . .but. . .why is my real family not understanding me.” Milo pulled Camus close, “Aww that’s because they love you very much and want your safety above all else. . .me on the other hand. . .hehe, well I think you are too stubborn and headstrong to argue with.” Camus glared at his friend playfully. Camus hugged Milo back, “so now that you are back. . .are you going to ask Aioria on a date? You mentioned that you would do so before you even left on your journey.”

Milo gulped lightly, “I said that?” Camus snuggled against Milo, “yup, you did! So you better do it while you ask him to notify the guild that the beast is just an overgrown puppy.” Milo smiled, “alright alright, only if you give me a kiss!” Camus glared at him, but kissed him lightly on the cheek.

Milo grinned, “that was yummy!” Camus rolled his eyes, “you couldn’t taste anything!” Milo smiled, “but it felt yummy *wink*” Camus smiled, “you are such an idiot.”

Milo looked down, “hey Cam? Do you think. . .do you think you have a little crush on that beast?” Camus felt taken aback, “wh. . .what gives you that weird idea?”

Milo smiled, “well you talk about him very fondly. AND you mentioned that you kissed him too, right? WITHOUT him nagging you to do it.” Camus blushed faintly, “well, of course not. I. . .just really care about him. . .that’s all.” Milo grinned knowingly, “Camus. . .is he hot?” Camus sighed, “he’s a beast Milo. . .what do you think?” Milo grinned again, “well. . .some guys are pretty hot and beasty!” Camus sighed again, “anyway Milo, do you know anything about a Prince Angelo?”

Milo laughed, “hohoho, your dream prince? Sorry I can’t help ya. But you are gonna ask the beast about him, right?”

Deathmask sighed as he looked at the wilting flower on his bedside. He wanted to go out on a hunt, but he knew if he did so, someone from Port City would miraculously see him resulting in some kind of attack. Not that he really cared, he always enjoyed a good fight. But he didn’t know what Camus’s family members looked like and didn’t want to make a mistake and hurt someone Camus cared about. Deathmask growled.

Argor entered his chambers, “Hey Deathmask, don’t get all crabby.” Deathmask quirked his eyebrow, “hahaha, very funny, you’re one to talk,” he replied sarcastically. Argor smiled, “you know Deathmask. . .why not look in one of the magic mirrors to see Camus, maybe you can catch him undressing!”

Deathmask glared at Argor, “what gives you the idea that I would want to see him anyway.” Argor grinned, “well first off, your tail has been wagging since I mentioned Camus. . .and second, you miss him don’t you Mr. Mopey.” Deathmask grumbled, “all it is going to do is taunt me you know.” Argor sat next to Deathmask, “maybe so, but it’s better than you sulking all day.” Deathmask shrugged, Argor had a point.

“Okay mirror, please show me Camus,” the beast asked somewhat politely. The mirror swirled and showed Camus sitting on his bed with Waddles and a man with long purple-ish hair and steely bluish green eyes. . .and they were holding each other.

Deathmask glared at the mirror intently, “why are they cuddling?” Argor giggled nervously, “Uh. . .maybe that’s his brother. . .uh. . .yeah. . .” Deathmask looked at the mirror again, and he saw Camus kiss the other man’s cheek tenderly. At that moment, his tail stopped wagging.

Argor gulped, he had no idea that Camus had another. . .he thought that seeing Camus would make Deathmask feel better, but now. . .the master was likely feeling worse.

Deathmask literally felt his heart break, but his face didn’t show it. He sighed, waved at the mirror to make the image change back to a reflection, and sat back on his bed. “Argor, let me be,” Deathmask requested slowly.

Argor felt horrible, and headed to Misty’s room. “YOU DID WHAT!?! You requested that he watch Camus and Camus was with another guy!? OH CRAP!!!!!! Great, now we’ll never be human. . .” Misty couldn’t contain his anger.

Deathmask heard Misty yelling from another end of the castle. . .great, not only am I a disappointment and not good enough for Camus, but now I can’t make them happy either. I really am a beast. . .inside and out. Deathmask thought about his experiences of being with Camus and smiled. Although he had a lot of reasons to feel down, a part of him was a natural flirt and he grinned a wild grin. . .he would just have to win Camus back! Deathmask displayed a large toothy grin and his tail wagged with a vengeance.

Aioria smiled as more guild members registered for various hunting tasks for Port City safety, but the moment Milo entered the guild, he felt his heart skip a beat. He had a crush on Milo for as long as he could remember, and he could still recall the day that Milo told him that he had to leave on a journey with fellow trading companies. Aiora beamed with a smile and ran over to Milo.
“Milo! You’re back!” Aioros’s brother smiled happily, “You look. . .amazing. . .” Aioria felt like he was going to start drooling. Milo was his image of a perfect man: long and luscious hair, a smile that could make even the strongest man swoon, and he had a sexy air of confidence. He felt so inferior next to a beautiful man like Milo. Milo returned a smile, “Hi Aioria! You look healthy! ^_^” Milo took in Aioria’s appearance, he was as radiant as a Greek god, with bronze skin, dark golden hair, and a well toned muscular body. Aioria blushed lightly, “oh. . .really? I uh. . .thanks! You look healthy too!” Oh stupid Aioria; Aioria thought to himself. I sound like an idiot! Aioria frowned.

Milo reached a hand out and ran his fingers through Aioria’s hair, “why so shy, kitty cat?” Aioria blushed, “I’m not shy. . .” Milo quirked an eyebrow, ah well, why not? Milo then pulled Aioria close to him and ran his tongue over Aioria’s soft lips and slid his tongue into Aioria’s mouth. He pressed their lips together into a sweet kiss. Aioria felt his whole body jolt at the amazing feeling, it felt like a surge of electricity that made his body react to each of Milo’s ministrations. As Milo pulled away, Aioria looked at him dumbfounded. Milo smiled, “hey. . .Aioria? Camus and beast are friends nowadays. . .the beast I guess is a ‘big puppy’ sooo. . .please don’t let the guild hurt him.”

Aioria was still in a daze, “Uh. . .sure. . .oh Milo. . .your lips are amazing. . .you taste sweeter than the finest ice wine. . .” Milo smirked, “you’re pretty tasty yourself! ^_^ but. . .did you hear what I said about the beast?” Aioria nodded, “I had a feeling that something was odd about the situation. Saga, Kanon, Aioros and Shura all said very similar things. That is each one said that they want Camus safe, but that it would upset Camus to no end. I’ll make sure that Camus’s happiness is ensured.”

Camus couldn’t help but smile, “thank you Aioria! Oh yeah. . .I am planning on heading back to the beast’s castle. . .I must resolve a few things with him. . .anyway, I have a free dinner for two pass for the best restaurant in town, I want you both to have a really nice date together!”

Aioria blushed, “A. . .a. . .d. . .date!?” Milo smiled, “yeah Aioria, I would love to go on a date with you!” Aioria felt flushed and elated, “OOOOh yeah!!!!”

Milo gave Camus a big hug, “so you want to return to the beast, right? Well then. . .what are you going to tell your father?”

Camus sighed, “I have no idea.” Milo grinned, “well I do! Just tell your dad that we are taking a camping trip; that would even convince him to give you Jabu for a while.” Camus rubbed the back of his neck, “you know. . .that might work.” Camus decided to return home to pack.

Douko sighed, he was nervous. He had recently found out that his sons that had lived with his ex-wife, Marin, were going to move in with them. Not that there wasn’t enough room in the house, but. . .he just didn’t know how we was going to tell Shion and his sons.

Shion entered the room and noticed that Douko appeared nervous. “What’s wrong, sexy-ko?” Douko blushed at his nickname, “Uh. . .well. . .you know how when you and Shaina were together, Marin and I were married?” Shion nodded, “yeah, and you had two kids with her. . .right?” Douko nodded, “well. . .uh. . .guess what! They are moving in with us!” With that, Douko hid behind a pillow on the couch.

Shion smiled, “wonderful! I have always wanted to meet them! I hope they are well behaved, unlike their father.” Douko pouted, “really? Damn it, Shion. . .I love you so much!” Shion smiled, “ditto. So when are they coming?” Douko hid again and with a muffled response, “in an hour. . .” Shion laughed, “well then I better let my sons know.” Shion left to notify the household of their new members.

Camus wanted to hurry getting his belongings together, but when he heard that the household was now expanding; he decided that packing would just have to wait. The family waited in the parlor room and then someone knocked on the door.

Douko answered the door personally to greet his sons, who he hadn’t seen in at least a year. “Father! I see you are doing well! I had heard from mother that you are getting married soon. . .I can’t wait to meet him,” a man with beautifully long lavender hair and two light maroon dots on his forehead exclaimed as his hugged his father. Douko smiled, “Mu. . .gods how I missed you! Of course. . .Shion is right over there! The sexy guy with the green hair! You guys have a lot in common you know. . .you both have dots!” Mu smiled and walked over to Shion, “It is a pleasure to meet you! I have heard so much about you, father is quite the storyteller.” Shion laughed, “well hopefully some of it was accurate. It is a pleasure to meet you as well!” Camus and Hyoga introduced themselves to Mu. Kanon smiled at his brother and introduced himself as well. Mu blushed as he looked at all of the handsome men around him, but one man had yet to introduce himself.

Saga could not take his eyes off of the lavender haired beauty. Saga had never seen a man with such a gentle, yet still masculine face, nor a man with such lusciously beautiful hair in his life. Saga felt his face become warm along his cheeks, and he tried his best to conceal it. Saga walked over to Mu slowly, “it is a pleasure to meet you, Sir Mu,” and he kissed the back of his hand gently. Mu looked into Saga’s eyes, “the pleasure is all mine. . .um. . .what is your name?” “I am Saga, Kanon’s elder twin brother,” Saga replied with a smile.

Kanon rolled his eyes, he was only older by 1 minute. ONE MINUTE! Why did Saga always have to rub it in? Mu smiled, “then it is a pleasure, Lord Saga.” Saga smiled, “just Saga is fine. . .just to hear you say my name is pleasure enough.” Camus felt sick from all of the corny lines. It reminded him of the beast’s odd comments about him being capellini and the beast being the pasta sauce. . .although he hoped his brother would avoid saying something stupid like, “we taste better with cheese.” Although it was stupid, Camus had difficulty stifling a giggle.

Douko waited at the door for his other son, who was bringing their horses to the stables and giving their luggage to the maids. Douko smiled as his other son finally came to the door, “Oh Shaka! Welcome to your new home!” He reached through the door and pulled Shaka close. Shaka had his eyes closed, “hello father. . .it is a pleasure to spend time with you again.” Shaka’s aqua eyes opened as he examined the home and the large number of men in the parlor room. His radiant blond hair glowed like spun gold and he had a little bhindi on his forehead that looked like a crystal piece of jewelry.

Camus blushed as he looked at the beautiful blond. Hyoga followed suit, Shaka was truly gorgeous, but not as gorgeous as Shun, he reminded himself. Saga smiled at him warmly, but turned his attentions back to Mu. Kanon smiled at Shaka, “hi! It is nice to meet you, I’m Kanon.” Shaka nodded, “it is a pleasure to meet you, I am Shaka.” Hyoga greeted Shaka and immediately ran off to go find Shun. Camus smiled, “it was a pleasure to meet you Mu and Shaka. Welcome into our home! I am sorry I have to leave so soon, but I must go pack for a little trip I am taking.” With that, Saga dragged Mu off to show him around. Shion raised an eyebrow, “what trip?” Camus smiled, “Milo, Aioria, and I are going to go camping.”

Camus hated lying, but if it worked then hey, who was he to argue. Shion smiled, “a camping trip, eh? You better take Jabu along with you so that he can carry your equipment.” Come on Douko, let’s go get some of our camping supplies out for him. Douko smiled and gave his sons hugs before he left with Shion.

Milo and Aioria arrived at the house. Milo smiled, “hey Camus, I have a huge tent that is big enough for all of us, so you don’t need to bring an extra tent.” Camus nodded.

Milo ran around until he noticed that Kanon and Camus were not the only two guys in the parlor. There was a man with beautiful blond hair who he had never met before. “Hey there! I’m Milo, Camus’s best friend ^_^ It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance,” Milo reached out and kissed Shaka’s hand. Kanon looked at Milo in awe. He had always had a crush on Milo. . .but Milo had never noticed him. Shaka smiled politely, “it is a pleasure to meet you too, Milo, I am Shaka, Douko’s son.” Aioria walked over to Shaka, “Hey there Shaka! I’m Aioria, nice to meet ya!” Shaka looked up at Aioria with his large aqua eyes, “it is an honor to meet you.” Aioria blushed from such a sweet comment.

Milo rested his head on Aioria’s shoulder, “you don’t need to pack too much Camus, we already have most of the supplies ready.” Camus nodded, “I better go pack.” Camus headed up to his room.

Kanon frowned, there was something odd about this camping trip. “Hey you guys. . .I want to go camping too.” Aioria looked at Kanon, “the more the merrier! ^_^” Milo lightly elbowed Aioria in the stomach, “but unfortunately our tent only fits three.” Kanon sighed, “but Saga is swooning over Mu, so I would rather not be around right now.” Milo sighed, “okay fine Kanon, you keep your mouth shut though.” Milo walked over to Kanon and pushed the hair away from his ear, and placed his lips dangerously close to his neck. Milo whispered, “Camus wants to investigate about Prince Angelo more, so he is going back to the beast’s castle. Before you react and have a cow, if anything happens, Aioria will give the signal to the guild. But Camus really needs some time to figure things out, okay?”

Kanon wanted to protest, but with Milo so close, all he could do was agree. Unbeknownst to anyone, Shaka could hear Milo’s whisper. Shaka said quietly, “if you are trying to be secretive, you are doing a poor job.” Milo pouted, “hmph!”

Kanon sighed, “well I still want to go.” Aioria wanted to pout, he wanted alone time with Milo, and if Kanon came, then it would ruin his chances. Milo smiled knowingly at Aioria, “alright Kanon, come along. ^_^ I am bringing my brother too anyway. Alright, let’s rendezvous at my place when you guys are done packing.” Aioria gasped, Milo never told him about that. Milo secretly squeezed Aioria’s arm to keep quiet.

Kanon smiled, “well then I look forward to meeting your brother. . .I better go pack then.” Kanon went upstairs to pack and talk to Camus.

Milo looked at Aiora, “sorry, I was just thinking that we could make this a little romantic get-away. But my brother can keep Kanon busy.” Aioria smiled, “you are so sweet.”

Shaka sighed, he was now privy to a plan that involved people he just met. He felt slightly awkward about the situation but stayed quiet. He wondered what Mu was doing with the other twin.

`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`

Camus turned around quickly when Kanon entered his room, “oh, hi Kanon, you startled me.” Kanon smiled, “Milo caved. He told me everything.” Camus felt numb, “so. . .what do you know?” Kanon hugged his brother, “you are brave and stupid, you know that? But I love you a lot, and if you want to go back to the beast’s castle, all I can do is be a strong big brother and support you.” Camus smiled, “thank you Kanon.”

Kanon smiled, “alright, so let’s pack!” Camus and Kanon packed their personal items and their father and Douko helped them with equipment, soon enough they were on their way to Milo’s house. Camus smiled at Kanon, “thanks for letting me ride Jabu.” Kanon grinned, “don’t worry, I’ll just use Saga’s horse, yo! Seiya get over here!”

Milo smiled, “hey guys! Oh! This is my brother, Sorrento.” Milo’s brother had a light tan complexion, light purple hair, and deep pink eyes. Camus smiled, “nice to see you again, Sorrento! I hope you pay some flute music on our journey together.” Kanon blushed, like his brother, he too had a love of lavender colored hair, and this guy was related to Milo. . .wow. Kanon smiled, “nice to meet you, Sorrento, I’m Camus’s brother Kanon.” Sorreno smiled, “of course I will Camus! And it is nice to meet you too Kanon. ^_^”

Milo grinned, “alright guys! Let’s move on out!”

`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`=`

Misty sighed heavily, “why the hell would Camus want some twit when he could have Deathmask?” Misty grumbled and went over to their magic mirror, “alright mirror, show me Camus cuz I haven’t seen him yet.” The mirror swirled revealing Camus and some other men on horseback. Misty’s eyes widened, why was Camus heading this way with that many men. . .and. . .his eyes widened even bigger when he noticed that one of the men was one of the heads of the hunting guild. “Oh no. . .they were going to hunt them down. . .I’ve got to tell the master.”

When Misty arrived in Deathmask’s room he saw a scary sight. There was the master, grooming his fur and wearing. . .a suit? Misty’s jaw dropped, “uh. . .master. . .what are you doing?” Deathmask grinned, “what does it look like? If I am gonna win Camus back, then I gotta work harder! Here’s my plan, first I gotta look good, then I am gonna sneak into town and. . .uh. . .” Argor laughed, “you were gonna, beg, right sire?” Deathmask glared at the crab, “yeah yeah, I am gonna beg.”

Misty frowned, “uh. . .master? You don’t need to sneak into town. . .Camus is on his way here.”

Deathmask’s eyes widened, “Re. . .really!? Oh my love hath returned! I am gonna spoil the crap out of him! Alright, I am gonna go whip up the finest dinner and wine he can ever imagine. And then I am gonna get a big pile of books ready. OH YEAH, and Camus likes a hot bath right, better go get that ready too, oh and light the fires, and then and then. . .” Deathmask was running around like a high school girl about to go on her first date on crack and sugar.

Misty continued frowning. . . “Deathmask. . .there are people with him. . .including a well-respected hunter.”

Argor felt the room go cold. Deathmask looked at Misty, “what?”

TBC. . .
