Chapter 3

I couldn't be more relieved nor more grateful. Camus and Milo offered me a relaxing bath, they even lent me some of their clothing considering all of mine had gotten muddy and wet from my trip over. They even allowed me to eat by myself before gathering around the kitchen table for a heart to heart discussion. Their words where carefully placed and never where they offensive which only added to the comfort they provided.

"So let me get this straight," Milo folded his arms and crossed his legs when a cup of coffee was placed down in front of him. "You where all depressed due to Sion's slight flirtacous actions, but you hadn't told anyone that you had had the flu for the last four days. So when Shiryu was over and playing with Kiki Sion came over to you while you were cooking and did his usual actions and you passed out cutting your palm and wrist."

I nodded sullumly when a wounderful smelling tea was placed in front of me. I managed a small smile and thanked Camus who only seemed to beam from seeing me smile once more. Just from that I felt a part of me spark back to life. My friends where always so wounderful to me, in return I gave them the same treatment when ever I could. They were the closest thing I had to siblings and I wouldn't trade them for the world.

"Mu, how often does he give you these caresses?" Aquarius set down his own cup of tea before tucking himself into his seat with elegance.

"I wouldn't call them caresses," I felt myself get angry as my mind pushed back the sceen that had drove me away from my home. "But possibly any time Kiki is not in the room."

"Trust me Mu, those are caresses, I do the same to Camus," the blond drummed his fingers on the table top. Placing his elbow on the table he rested his chin in his hand as he tried to think. I watched his eyes trace over my face, it felt strange to be looked at like that but I knew he meant nothing of it. I had fallen down several times on the way over in fits of tears and scratched myself up.

"Perhaps you should confront him," my redheaded friend offered. "I'm not saying to do it right now, but maybe there was some kind of misunderstanding."

"Oh sure!" I snapped startling them and myself. I folded my arms and slumped in my chair finding it hard to release this anger that had built up in me, "Say that if you found Milo on a couch pinned down with a very lustful kiss going on."

The room fell quiet as I found myself folding my arms on the table and hiding my face in them. I was so angry to have seen that but more than being upset I was devisated. My heart broke into so many pieces that it may never fully recover. I felt tears drop from my clentched eyes and tap against the table. Why couldn't I have just let go of him? Why couldn't I have just accepted the fact that he didn't love me? Because I truly loved him that's why. Damn it!

"Okay, not only would I have gone crazy for that to ever happen but I would also be scared for life also I would expect Camus to kill me in a very vicous way. You would do me that favor right babe?"

I felt Camus' hand rub my back, "Milo I would not only kill you horribly I would follow you to hell and torture you for eternity."

A smile once more pulled at my lips at their teasing banter.

"How would you torture me? I mean I wouldn't blaim myself for your death if you died like that, no matter what you would do."

"Ha, so uncreative. I wouldn't let you touch me."

I heard Milo gasp and then panick, "Not even when you do that thing you do?!"

"Especially not then."

"You're evil!"

"Hey, it would have been your fault." I felt my hair being stroked, those fingers where so comforting, "Now then, Mu... You have every right to be upset. But you have to also realize that he most likely doesn't know that you like him. If he's as dense as my husband he probably has no clue."

I chuckled when Milo barked, "I'm not dense."

With a sniffle, I used the sleeve of the soft gray sweater that I had borrowed from Milo to wipe away my tears. Sitting up straight I mentally noted that they were right and that left a feel of comfort.

"Can we change the subject?" I asked meekly.

"Hyoga and Isaac might have something going on!" Milo suddenly blurted jumping up to his feet. He placed both hands on the table and pratically climbed up on top when he leaned over in excitment, "And if that happens I can tease the hell out of them! Isn't that awesome?!"

I held up my hands while leaning back having almost been blinded by the sparkles in his eyes. He was really pumped for teasing, I could only guess how many things he was thinking of to do to them. And I knew that if it turned out to not be true then he would figure out some other way to tease them. That was Milo, he was naturally a goof ball and he made Camus laugh. I paused as a look of wounder covered my features, I just realized that I had never asked them how they had first gotten together.

"Milo, Camus? Could you tell me how you ended up together?"

The blond took his seat once more, and took a drink of his coffee, "He violated me."

"W-what?!" I gaped at Camus who slapped his hand to his forehead with a groan.

"I did no such thing. I had been giving him clues that I liked him, such as inviting him over for dinner. Giving him subtle touches when we played games or trained together but he wasn't getting it. So I told him that I liked him," Camus kicked his husband under the table earning a squeek from the latter. "All he did was smile like an idiot and told me he liked me too then went back to training. Finally fed up I went to his temple and found him spazzing out over some TV show he was watching on a portable television that he had bought and it had bad reception I might add."

"Hey, I liked that TV until you broke it."

"You broke it?" I looked at my friend finding the will with in myself to tease once more.

"Well you see he wouldn't notice me until I turned it off. Then he turned it back on while I told him I had something important to tell him, so I turned it back off. We argueed for a bit then I just...... punched my fist through it."

A small laugh trickled out of me at the mental image of Milo laying on the floor of his temple looking shocked with an uncharacteristicly angry Camus with his fist over the remains of a small television.

"After that we argued until Camus pinned me to a wall," the blond smiled foundly as he picked up the story. "His eyes were so worried and I was utterly confused when his hands rested on my hips, then he just simple said 'I love you' and kissed me. Ever since then we have been together."

I found myself looking into my teacup trying not to imagine doing the same to my teacher. So many times had I wanted to tell him that I loved him, but I don't believe that I could ever gather that kind of currage, especially after what had happened. I screwed my eyes shut as that image of Sion's blushing face flashed in my mind again. The kiss with Dohko had taken his breath away and I couldn't stand how that man was settled between my old master's legs, his hand on Sion's knee. A gentle hand patted my hand and I realized that once more I started to cry. I burried my face into my hands as heavy sobs filled my ears, that deep feeling of wanting nothing else than to disappear took over once more.

"Mu... why don't you-" Milo was cut off by the sound of a knock on their front door.

He gave a sigh and got up giving me a pat on the shoulder before leaving to answer it. I wiped at my eyes not wanting to embarras my host with the sounds of my desperate please for love.

"I'm sorry but I don't think he really wants to see you right now," I heard Scorpio and I felt my heart stop. Looking at the clock I noted that it has only been three hours since I had left home. I glanced at Camus looking for an answer of what to do.

"Mu... it's up to you," was his only words.

Warrily I got up from my seat. Swallowing hard I walked to the door way of the kitchen where I could hear Sion's smooth voice ask Milo to just see me. I felt Camus come up behind him in a shadow of encouragment. Taking a deep breath I stepped out into the hallway where I could see the two of them and for a moment there I wanted to run, turn and hide my face from him in my redheaded friend's shoulder.

"There, Mu-" the light green haired man tried to step around Milo who quickly got in his way blocking his view of me. I had flinched when that happened and when Camus placed his hands on my shoulders I felt a panick arise, if Sion tried entering two gold saints would attack.

"Milo," I spoke calmly coming up behind him with my head bowed. "I will speak with him.... outside."

"If you wish," Milo paused for a moment before whispering something to Sion and backing off.

The light of the house was closed off when the door was shut behind me. The day was still dark and the rain drenched the ground. I folded my arms as I frowned, mentally noting how the man before me was soaked.

"Mu, what happened to your face," he asked reaching to touch me like he usually did.

I took a step back with a stern look, "I feel a few times... Why are you here?" That anger started to slowly twist with in me once more.

"Because..." his eyes glittered with hurt. "I wanted to make sure you where safe."

"Is that all?"

His mouth opened and closed before he too adopted a firm expression, "Mu, I advise that you watch your behavior."

"You advise, you advise?!" I snapped once more, built up anger from so many long years just burst forth as I cried out, "You can advise all you want but that doesn't change what I think nor what I feel, Master!" His eye twiched as I hissed out the title, I reached up a hand and grabbed a fist full of my own hair, "You, you always smell my hair, touch it when we're alone! Do you have any idea how that drives me crazy?!"

"Mu, calm do-"

"I don't want to be calm!!" I pushed at on of his shoulders just enough to rock his weight, "You've screwed me up for so long! I've tried so many times to show you my true feelings but all you did was go to... to DOHKO!"

"Mu!"

"No! I'm tired of it! Ever since you came Kiki's been ignoring me, Dohko's been over more and more and every time you touch me a little more of me dies!!" tears flung from my cheeks as I jerked my head around trying to make sense of what was flowing out of me. Was I still me? I wasn't too sure, in the past events I've changed so much due to my emotions. Everything hurt so badly, my heart throbbed as if poisoned and I could do nothing to stop it. Then, everything whirled. Strong arms where around my waist as I gasped when my body colided against Sion's. His lips pressed against mine, his fingers splayed across my back sending pleasurable chills up and down my spine. With a kiss to each eye he held me close.
