One Pegasus Saint is bad enough…
Now we have to deal with two?!

Saouri had helped the boys get ready for the school the next day, with a little help from their respective master or friend among the Gold Saints and Miscellaneous.
“Remember, Ikki…there will be tons of ladies…and most of them are likely to be good-looking, but very frail.” Aiolia said, giving girl tips to Ikki. Even though Aiolia always failed at getting a girl. Ikki nodded absent-mindedly as he listened. Aiolia and he were both Leos and they had been good friends after Hades. So, when Ikki was finished dressing, they both walked together. “And don’t get drunk either…” Aiolia continued lecturing.
“Hyoga…hold still…” Camus said as he tried to do a black tie on a squirming Hyoga. Hyoga didn’t like the idea of having something around his neck other than his mama’s cross. He felt as if the tie would choke him. Like Shun’s chains would. Hyoga’s mind was lost in thought of Shun and his chains when Camus had finished doing his tie. “There.” He said crisply. Ever since the fight in Hades, Camus had warmed up more and even showed a smile once in a while. Hyoga was still a little uncomfortable though. His mind still deciding whether or not he should hate his master for sinking the ship holding his mother even further down into the ice or care for him because Camus was really the only thing he had closest to a father. “Come, Hyoga.” Camus said, walking to the door. Hyoga only grinned and followed.
Shun quietly got dressed in his room, thinking about his first day of school. He was both excited and scared at the same time. Although he had been on many visits to the little school that Miho had taught in, he never had been in a class before. The feeling of going to school for real really gave him an emotional high. When he had finished getting his uniform on, he took his school bag and walked to the door.
“Shiryu…will you be gone long?” Shunrei asked from outside his door. “Not until this afternoon for a while I guess.” Was his reply. Shunrei pressed her ear against the door and heard the shuffling of fabric and the occasional curse. Shunrei took up her courage and opened the door to find a rather distressed Shiryu struggling with a tie. She giggled and went to him to help him with his tie. “Shunrei…I can do it…” he said. Shunrei ignored him and did his tie. “There.” She said, letting Shiryu look at himself. “I feel uncomfortable.” He told her. Shunrei shook her head and kissed him on the forehead. “Oh, don’t worry Shiryu…you’ll get used to it…come on…the others are waiting.” They both walked to the door hand in hand.
“Hold still Seiya!!” Saouri squeaked when she tried to help Seiya into his uniform. Seiya was very reluctant to have a girl help him and ran around her room a couple of times. Both were getting tired soon, but both didn’t want to give up. They were both equally stubborn. And neither will give up until they get what they want. “Come back here Seiya!!” Saouri shouted and jumped on his back, toppling them both over. “Ouch!” Seiya cried out from under Saouri’s weight. With her victim down, she managed to get Seiya’s shirt and tie on. The blazer was another issue. “I can dress myself!!” Seiya protested, finally being able to get up, but sending Saouri falling. He took the blazer and buttoned it. He strutted around Saouri’s room, showing off the fact he was able to dress himself. “See? Nothing to it!” he announced. Saouri rolled her eyes and commenced to drag Seiya to school.

Some of the Gold Saints accompanied the Bronze Boys to school. Mostly those who were of great concern. Mainly Camus, Shaka (don’t ask why just read), and Dohko. Saouri had given the older Saints directions and a map of the school. And she also gave them a letter of introduction each to show the teachers. At the school gates, they were astounded at how busy and how many students there were at this school. The Bronze and Gold Saints walked into the school in awe, only disturbed slightly. Camus directed them throughout the school when they all heard a scream from one of the rooms. They all searched about to find the scream, but found no trace. But then they heard it again and it came from the door they were in front of. It said ‘auditorium’ on the door. Without a thought, all the Saints rushed in, not knowing what they were up against.
Anthony screamed again as Antoinette held a fake spider in front of her. Antoinette snickered and put away the thing. She crossed her arms and laughed triumphantly. “Pah! For my sister’s champion, you sure are a chicken, Anthony!” Antoinette declared to the world, pushing back long strands of blond hair. Anthony pouted; she hated it when Antoinette got the best of her. “Shut-up, Antoinette!!” she retorted. Venus had been in the audience, listening to their argument for 10 minutes and it was almost time for homeroom to start. Anthony and Antoinette had been arguing on the stage for a while and she doubted that either of them would be getting down soon. Just then, as the argument heated to over 1000 degrees, 8 people barged into the auditorium. “We’re here to help!” cried a man with long blue hair. Venus’ heart began to flutter, somehow entranced by this man. Antoinette and Anthony continued arguing though, not noticing the newcomers. The 8 men stood there a little confused now, they had thought someone was hurt. Venus noticed this and began explaining. “Oh, don’t worry…nobody got hurt…yet…but I assure you…everything is under control…” She suddenly had to dodge a chair that Antoinette had thrown. Venus laughed nervously and regained her composure. “Well…as under control as it can be…” she added. She laughed nervously and walked up to them, she noticed that 5 of them were wearing Kamiya uniforms. “Oh…you must be new students here…” she said warmly, giving the boys a friendly smile. “I’m Venus Pier. 7th grade, Dance Division. Those two up there…” she said, gesturing to the quarreling blonds. “…Are also in 7th grade. The one with curly hair is Anthony Delacroix, Dance Division. The other girl with a hot temper is Antoinette Dienara, PHYS. Division.” She finished. “I think her sister should be arriving soon to stop this argument…but enough of us…how about you guys?” she asked, smiling.
Seiya smiled as he looked at the others, they would definitely enjoy staying at this school. Especially with the cute blonds that stood before them here. He smiled at Venus and held his hand out to her; she took it and shook his hand. “I’m Seiya…Seiya Kido.” He said. The fight on the stage with Anthony and Antoinette suddenly ended, their jaws dropped. “Seiya Kido?” Anthony repeated in disbelief. Seiya nodded up to Anthony, noting that she looked a bit like his long lost sister, Seika. Anthony immediately jumped down from the stage and ran up to him, her eyes sparkling. “You mean you’re really Seiya the Pegasus Saint of Athena?” she asked, ever the Galaxian War fanatic. Seiya nodded. “Of course. How did you know?” he asked. “Who are all of you first?”
After a small exchange of names, the bell rang indicating that students should be heading to their homeroom. Antoinette sighed. “Great…homeroom…” she said, heading for the door. “Don’t let them get lost on their way to the ‘12 Zodiacs’, V-babe. They still have to be assigned a class and division.” She then left. “Hai!” Venus answered to her back. She then turned to the Saints and gestured them to follow her. “If you’re going to be in our school…you’d have to be assigned a class and a division. Come on.” She then took off with the others following suite.

After only traveling for what seemed like an endless amount of corridors, they finally reached a door with a knob on it. The door wasn’t a sliding one like the others, this one you had to turn a doorknob. On the door it said in gold lettering ‘Council Room’. Venus came up to the door and knocked on the door. “Yes?” asked a soprano voice from the other side. “It’s V-babe. Let me in.” Venus replied with respect resonating from her voice. The Saints were a bit surprised though, when a lavender haired girl who looked exactly like Mu shyly opened the door. She had the same mischievous smile that resembled the Aries Saint’s as well. “Oh, V-babe. It is you.” She said happily. She then noticed the Saints behind the blond her expression went totally serious. “Oh…we have new students do we…?” she asked mostly to herself. She stood in front of the entry and bow slightly. “I’m Myuu. Head of the Medical Division.” Of course. What a name to fit this girl who looked like Mu. And what a fitting division. “Come in.,” she said, gesturing them all inside the room. She opened the door wide open to all the Saints and to their surprise; there in the room was a table with 12 seats, each with a sign of a zodiac. All the seats were filled except for the Aries, which Myuu soon took seat in (well that came as a surprise), and the Gemini chair, which was at the head of the long table. What seemed to have surprised them the most was that some of the people present looked like someone from Sanctuary. Camus’ cool demeanor seemed to melt when he beheld the smiling Prince Charming at Aquarius’ seat. The boy’s hair was straight and cut to his chin, but his hair was just the same shade of blue and so were his eyes. And his face…it was like looking at a mirror. The boy at Cancer looked like he could be the negative version of Death Mask, if there were such a thing as Death Mask’s negative. That boy, he had green eyes and wild blond hair that covered one of his eyes, he stood up and gestured the Saints to some seats by the wall. The Saints nodded and took a seat.
“First…we shall have introductions…” the blond Cancer said, he gave the guests a curt bow. “My name is Eregil. I’m the head of the Summer Division.” Eregil nodded to the young man with short reddish-orange hair. He had a look of pride about him as he stood up from where he sat on the Leo Chair. “I’m Calais. Head of the Spring Division.” He sat down afterwards. Next was a girl sitting on the Virgo chair, looking a little bit out of place and yet not so quite. She had long wavy blond hair that was arranged with a blue headband, the trademark for females of Kamiya High School. She bowed her head and smiled angelically. “I am Selena. I am the chief of the Festival Division.” She said in a quiet voice. The next person to talk was a short girl with brown, short, and bobby hair. Her eyes were brown and they sparkled with lots of life when she realized it was her turn to speak. She sat at the Libra Chair. “I’m Lin. The person in charge for the Dance Division.” She said bubbly, winking once at Shiryu. This made Shiryu blush a bit, but then he regained his composure when he remembered his feelings for Shunrei. After Lin was an attractive girl that was at the Scorpio Chair. Her hair was long and could have been the straighter version of Milo’s hairstyle. Her eyes were sky blue though. She smiled seductively at them all. Making a lot of people at the table nervous, especially the boy at Aquarius seat. “I’m Mileena. I’m the leader of the Arts Division.” Next was a young man who seemed to be the older version of Calais, but his hair was very red and reached down to his back. But they shared the same intriguing blue eyes. His chair had the sign of Sagittarius. “Good to meet you. I am Zetes. I lead the Autumn Division.” He looked down the table to look at Calais who only smiled back sheepishly. The girl next to Zetes elbowed him, making him reel in his chair. He eyed the girl angrily and she only laughed. She flipped back her long cascading locks of violet hair and looked at the Saints/students before her sea blue eyes. “My name is Shera. (No surprise) I take care of the Information Division.” Up next was the blue-haired Aquarius. “My name is Kaizer. I am the director of the Winter Division.” That cleared some things for Camus. This boy was definitely interested with the cold like any Aquarius would… “Well, Mr. Icicle…” said a curly pink haired girl next to Kaizer. “You’re certainly more or less friendly today…’director of the Winter Division’.” She taunted, rolling her red eyes. Kaizer looked sternly at the girl. He said nothing then averted his gaze to the girl sitting at the Scorpio Seat. Once again, the girl rolled her eyes. “Whatever…Anyways…I’m Nefertiti. The head of the Music Division. Nice to meet you all.” Myuu sighed where she sat at the Aries Seat, and then smiled at the Saints. “Well you know my name by now I bet.” She stated with a smile. “I’m Myuu the chief of the Medical Division.” The young blond girl at Taurus Seat waved at the Saints when Myuu had finished. “I’m Salina, head of the PHYS Division!” she said cheerfully. Eregil nodded his head when all the introductions were done and began to say something when he found something was amiss…
Gemini Seat was empty.
The Saints looked at the empty Gemini Seat with curiosity. They were aware that when the people at the ‘Zodiac Table’, they figured, were searching around for something; they realized someone was supposed to be occupying the Gemini Seat. They all looked quite worried the people of the Zodiac Table. Very worried indeed. All their heads turned at the sound of the door opening abruptly with a girl in a black and red version of the standard female Kamiya High School uniform barging in. Her black hair was tied into a braid and some of it managed to cover one of her sapphire eyes. A pair of round, large black-rimmed glasses were on her nose and kept slipping off now and again. But even in this appearance, the Saints who had gone skating recognized this girl. “Keitalina-san!” Hyoga, Shun and Seiya exclaimed at the same time.
