own Saint Seiya (how sad for me)

Chapter 9 � Ikki�s Bond Revealed

             Ikki arrived in Sanctuary tired and bored. He
set out to find Marin like Saori had asked him to do so he could return to
Japan. He was not interested in hanging around and exploring his options for
the Saint�s Bond. He actually did not believe it had any power over him and
scoffed at the idea. No bond will be stronger than the one I had with
Esmeralda�I don�t care what everyone says.

            He asked the closest person wandering nearby
where he could find Marin. After getting the information he needed, Ikki set
off in the right direction. He carried his Phoenix armor on his back in its
metal container and the necklace around his neck. He remembered Saori�s words
when she handed it to him, �there is no safer place for it than around your
neck�.

            Entering the temple where he was told Marin
would be he was bummed to see that it was empty. He looked around and saw a
small door built into one of the enormous columns. Not caring for etiquette or
privacy, he opened the door and descended down a long spiral staircase. He
heard panting and muffled sounds coming from below and assumed people were
sparring. It never crossed his mind he might find a different scene all
together.

            Turning with the last step he saw a large room
lit with gigantic torches on the wall. The underground room was indeed used for
indoor sparring, but today it was being used as a private location for two
lovers. His eyes saw them, the lovers, up on a marble pedestal toward the back
wall. Their tan bodies were entwined and moving against each other.

            He could see the hips of the one on top pulling
in and out between the open legs of the one on bottom. They kissed the entire
time, their sex was sensual and erotic. Their faces were too far away to make
out, but he could see the curve of a woman�s breast on the bottom person. Then
he noticed the muscled back of a man on top, the woman�s hands running her nails
up his spine.

            Ikki could not help but stare silently.
Feeling slight arousal from the provocative image in front of him, he stumbled
making noise. He cursed himself as the two looked at their voyeur. �Marin,
cover your face, quickly.� The man grabbed her silver mask from the floor and
shielded her bare face with his muscular arm. They scrambled to get up, Marin
adjusted her mask before turning to look at their intruder.

            �Who is that?� The man�s voice asked covering
the fifty feet or so separating them. Ikki swallowed hard, totally embarrassed
that he had interrupted them. At least I found Marin, he thought.
�Uh�I�m Ikki, the Bronze Phoenix Saint.� He called out, still not able to tell
who the man was.

            �Ikki? What are you doing in Sanctuary?�
Marin stood, not minding her nude body. She began to walk toward him, the mask
her only covering. �Sweetheart�your clothes.� The man laughed and Marin went
back to him to get dressed. He pulled on only his pants before approaching
Ikki. �I have something for you Marin, from Saori. She wanted me to deliver it
personally. I didn�t mean to walk in on you��

            The Gold Saint laughed again and stepped into
focus, Ikki recognized him immediately. �Leo Aiolia, please excuse my rude
entrance.� Aiolia smiled at Ikki. �I�m not concerned about it. Now what�s
this about having something for Marin.� Ikki frowned, not wanting to give the
necklace to her in front of Aiolia. �I have a gift for her, special delivery.
But I�m afraid I must give it to her in private.�

            The Leo Saint eyed him before looking to
Marin. �It�s okay Aiolia. I�ll be fine.� He grunted then headed up the
stairs, �I�ll be back in five minutes.� Ikki was more at ease now that the Gold
Saint was gone. A dressed Marin stood in front of him. �You have something for
me?� She asked, her facial expression hidden.

            �Yes, Saori�uh�Athena wanted you to have
this.� He took the necklace from around his neck and carefully clipped it
around Marin�s neck. �It�s beautiful, but what is it?� Marin fingered the
small silver pendant shaped like a tear drop. �It is a locket with some of
Athena�s cosmos sealed inside. She knows how hard it must be for you here and
wants to thank you for your devotion to her. It will protect you in battle, she
can hear you through it�at least that�s what she told me.�

            Marin did not move but continued holding the
pendant. Ikki saw a tear slip from the rim of her mask onto her collarbone. �I
love it.� She choked and hugged Ikki. �Give her that hug for me�please.� Ikki
was pleased with completing his mission and turned to leave. Aiolia bounded
down the steps, he had been waiting one level up for them to finish talking.
�Where you off to now?� He asked Ikki, blocking his exit.

            �I will return to Japan. I am done here.�
Ikki said, patiently waiting for the Saint to move. �You know Marin�are you
thinking what I�m thinking?� She nodded and Ikki worried a little. �Ikki�as
you noticed, Marin and I were having sex when you came in.� Ikki looked away,
distrustful of the conversation. �Yes I noticed.�

            �Have you heard of the Saint�s Bond?� Marin
asked from behind him. Ikki answered yes and Aiolia spoke again, �You have not
bonded to your mate yet have you? I can tell from your cosmos.� Ikki scratched
his head awkwardly wanting to leave. �Uh, no I guess not.� I�ll just answer
their questions, then they�ll let me leave and I can go home to Japan and forget
all about this Saint�s Bond crap.

            �I think I know who your match is. It�s got to
be him Marin�there�s no one else strong enough that�s left.� Ikki closed his
eyes. �I agree Aiolia�I can sense it, their match is strong�yet not complete.
He has waited for years to find his bond�� Marin conversed with her lover.

            He? It�s a fucking guy! I�m out of here.
Ikki pushed past Aiolia and started up the stairs. The Gold Leo Saint would
have none of that and grabbed Ikki�s arm, restraining his movement. �Don�t you
even want to know who it is? Being with your bonded Saint is important to your
life.�

            �I�I don�t really believe in all that. Let me
go.� Ikki yanked his arm away from Aiolia. �Ikki wait!� Marin raced after
him. �If not for you, then do it for him�he�s suffered for so long all alone�at
least go see him.� Ikki winced at her request, not caring about the other
Saint�s problem.

            �I�m not into guys.� He gritted through his
teeth as Marin bounced in front of him, trying to block his way. �It�s not
about that�it�s not about sex Ikki. It�s about a bond stronger than anything
else on this planet.� Marin placed her hand over Ikki�s heart, emphasizing her
point. �She�s right. You don�t have to sleep with him�just go see him. Find
out if he is the one.� Aiolia piped in.

            �Fine�I�ll go see him. But I�m not telling him
that you think he�s my bonded whatever the hell you call it. Who is it?� Marin
and Aiolia glanced at each other before she answered him. �It�s Shaka�he�s in
his temple.� Ikki�s eyes widened, him? At least he somewhat looks like a
girl�and he�s all about being quiet and centered, I doubt he even thinks about
sex. �We�ll take you there.� Aiolia said grabbing the rest of his clothes
before joining them on their way to the Virgo Temple.
