A Reason To Live Chapter 5

Jaded.

Already Later that day, had left the temple Kanon Gemini by one of the many secret passages that were, almost directly to Aquarius. This time, decided to take the low road and let your visit to Pound for his return to the third temple. Had tried to reach the eleventh house, eat a couple of things with the guys, maybe watch a movie, then go down to Scorpio and spend the night in one of the rooms in which Milo accumulated junk. Milo had not had its own plan in mind. Was essentially the same, except that wanted to spend all night watching movies. Mü had told him earlier that day, the guards assigned soon again, would resume classes in the shelter and in short, everything would take its course again, paperwork included. The young scorpion capitalizing on the days that they remain free and Camus seemed to dislike the idea. He is not largely influenced. Shion had spoken to the issue and had accepted his proposal to be, in his own words, the wildcard of the sanctuary. Just would put his hand here and there when some of the golden saw a bit overwhelmed by their responsibilities. He had proposed to the Patriarch and thinking how much that will Saga liked to cover the work, offering to do more things at the same time that was humanly capable. Kanon sometimes forget Saga believed they were not the same person who forgot that they were a sort of extension of each other. How else could one explain the way that Saga had two issues to address, at the same time and in different places, but? Within that week, Kanon had already been fulfilling orders that Saga had agreed, completely forgetting prior commitments. The child continued to attach it to a pathological need to amend their mistakes.

Still, she had in mind to leave the sanctuary when all the commotion happened and they were sure that for a time, not at risk. At least planned to leave for a few weeks, everything depended on the course that his plan to take. He had informed both the Patriarch and Athena as surely, the decision to print his words were prevented from denying the possibility.

Unlike others, Kanon had spent time in what he used to call an alternate reality. Mixing between the ordinary human, heroic responsibilities outside or death battles with the weight of humanity on his shoulders. And he could not deny that he liked the taste of life. I missed waking up every morning knowing that they would bruise in daily workouts or simply do not have to fight to live another day. I could go to the movies or walk around a particular city, without being aware of strangers approaching cosmos. The books I read did not consist in stories of their predecessors or pleasure as it had done in his life, was to take a camera and focus on portraying the places they called their attention. He had a photo album hidden under his bed, filled with images of places and people he had met in his wanderings. I had not reopened since it was hiding there, a few days of returning to the sanctuary before the war against Hades. Deep down, he feared commemorate the lives that had been built in this unknown world. For if in the Sanctuary could not feel completely at home out there was a stranger who never feel at ease, even though the place was a paradise. Moreover, it had gotten rid of that camera and see the pictures just remind him how much such an instrument had helped him during that period. A deep sigh

him out of his thoughts and off the screen view - where a film that had already lost the thread was still playing - to look over their shoulders. Hours earlier, had settled on the floor, with a cup of popcorn between legs and back leaning against the couch, where Camus was lying with his feet on the legs of Milo, who, in turn, had settled on the opposite end.

Paradoxically, the younger Greek was the first to fall prey to sleep, half asleep crawling up lying next to the French, who passed an arm around the back to hold it unconsciously. Camus was followed minutes later. The sigh that had forced him to look up came from him, perhaps as a result of changing his position to a more comfortable.

Kanon was tired and his eyes burned with the effort to keep them open, but there decided not to sleep. Since I decided to spend the evening with Camus and Milo, had felt that the possibility of having a nightmare that night was too likely and would become anxious at the thought. During some of the previous days had felt similarly and slowed the time to go to bed reading or watching TV, knowing that once close her eyes, the nightmares return. One way or another, I knew that tonight would be one of them, however, was already there and not much remained to be done.

stared at a clock hanging on a wall, heightening the hearing to read the time from his position. 4:30 AM. Yawned exaggerated, leading to two tears peered out the corners of her eyes and touching them with his fists. The movie was over and stopping the player, got up and went to the kitchen. A charged extra coffee would not do anything wrong. While boiling water, slipped to fourth from Camus and took two blankets on the bed. Surely the French would not like to see your bed so messy but at that time, the cold began to be noticed.

returned to the room and covered with one of the blankets, the boys sound asleep on the couch. Milo clenched his eyes to feel the weight of the blanket and pressed closer against Camus, hiding her face against his shirt. Camus was not aware of it. Kanon
restrained the urge to laugh and put another blanket over her shoulders, returning to the kitchen in search of coffee needed. A short while later, he amused himself watching a movie with no plot and a lot of these shootings, with the volume almost to zero to not wake up early the other two saints. Camus had to do earlier in the day and most likely was that Milo follow him like a puppy.

Two hours later, crossed the screen credits and calf stretches, considering it was a good time to wake the saint of Aquarius. It shook up a bit of shoulder to the French spent a hand over his face and opened one eye, trying to recognize the fool who dared to wake him up at that hour. Kanon smiled.

- I'm going - he whispered when he was sure that Camus knew he was talking - There are fresh coffee in the kitchen. Are about seven in the morning.

- Yeah, thanks - Camus said yawning and opening his eyes to ward off too sleep in them - Do not sleep at all?

Kanon shook his head and was about to add something when I interrupted a whimper. Both men set their eyes on the purple hair tangle that was removed in the lap of Camus, pulling the blanket to hide skin completely any trace of cinnamon.

- Five minutes ... just five minutes.

The two pairs of eyes fixed on the figure of Milo blinked in silence for a few seconds, before more of them got up laughing, saying goodbye to Camus, who once had to Kanon outside their range of vision, you smiled the boy tenderly in her lap and sat fiddling with the fine hair between her fingers. Could afford five minutes of relaxation, even when the neck and back will remember the day the awkward position where he had spent the night. *****

Kanon walked a weary step toward Libra. Shortly after leaving Aquarius, hid his cosmos and slipped through the temples where the owners probably still dozing. Soon came up with the seventh temple, casting her eyes in every corner as he walked the long corridor that crosses it from side to side. He found
Dohko as usual at that hour of the morning, sitting at the entrance of the temple, watching the sun rise. The day dawned cool, with a faint breeze. Chinese leaned on his elbows. Twin would have liked to know that going through his mind, concentrated as it looked.

keeping the distance I observed: the way your hair stirring in the breeze, the swaying of his shoulders to suck fresh air, light black jacket, open and with the sleeves rolled above the elbow, moving to the beat that made the same breeze that stirred the hair, the funny shock when he called it, the way he dropped his head back and arched her back to look at it without changing his position, his eyes full of surprise soon gave way to a number of questions that could not reach their lips. It promised to hear one day, trying to hide the tingling down her skin to have those eyes (I was not sure if they were green or gray or perhaps a mixture of both), fixed on him. Studying, reading. Dohko was sure he did it without even being aware of it.

- You do not look very well - the Chinese said, regaining his starting position. Kanon

grimaced and closed the distance separating it from the other saint, sitting beside her with a hurt expression on his face.

- And here I was, thinking that you liked how I looked - sighed dramatically, almost celebrating the slight blush of brown but without comment on the matter - You do not look better, certainly.

- I do not think that surprises you - Dohko replied, trying to ignore the curious watched the Gemini. Surely, this was the largest amount of words he had exchanged with the boy during their visits. Internally, he was glad to see you there again.

Kanon's face darkened momentarily. Libra Dohko still remaining isolated from everything. Still showed this unease that bothered him greatly Kanon. It was still a bad copy of the saint who knew. No Smarty and the gentleman who always had wise words for whatever you crave something back, but it was much better than this, listless and lifeless. Even when Kanon was sure that none of these masks were the real. He had seen a glimpse of the true Dohko when he faced Shion was that long ago and wanted to know. He was taking time, but it was a goal that had permeated deep into it and do not give up. And spoke to him, that in itself was a breakthrough.

- yet you get the spirit out of here? - Asked without expecting an answer - How much longer can hide in your house?

Dohko be nibbled her lip, torn between silence and let out some of the bitterness that was building up inside. Chose, without second thoughts, at first. However, seconds of silence after he opened his mouth and words came out of it were full of disappointment.

- I thought that, unlike Shion, you had no intention to get you where you do not call you.

Kanon turned to him suddenly, caught flashing before his lips curled into a huge grin, showing the perfect rows of teeth. Dohko gave him a disgruntled look, it was good at reading people, the best among the saints if allowed to accept, but with the smaller of the twins always seemed wrong.

- When you're wrong, you'd want - fun Kanon said, watching Wrinkles between the eyes of Chinese. Much more serious, he said - I have no intentions to intrude in your existential crisis. For that I have mine. Just trying to understand how someone like you, with over two hundred years of experience on his shoulders, he believes the reason to live, to fight, whatever, come alone to the door of your house and are not something you to go out and search. I can not understand you do not see that is something you want to find.

- see, perhaps there is the problem. I do not find anything. I do not want to find reasons. Because the only thing for people like us is pain, blood and death. Who, for his life, I would pursue stuff? Kanon

was silent, trying to absorb the meaning behind his words and the response Dohko had given him. He picked up his legs and folded his arms on his knees, resting his chin on his forearms. Then he sighed and rested her cheek, turning his face to study the profile of Dohko. The Chinese looked so tired he felt. And just as outdated.

- Where did all the hope that you used to have? How can disappear just like that? - Asked after a moment. Dohko shook his head, smiling sadly.

- I start to believe never existed. That was something I made up to go ahead and drag you with me.

- For work - Kanon whispered - for everyone except you, apparently.

Dohko was silent, after all, there was nothing I could answer that. It was, in simple words, as he thought. He looked at the twin for a moment, taking advantage of what he had closed his eyes. Absorbing the details of his face, hiding behind the fact that the other could not see it. He stared at the blue hair, extremely long, swaying gently. Then, in the thin lips parted, allowing the passage of air. In the inspired fine nose slowly. In the long lashes resting on tanned skin, a little darker around the eyes, showing a lack of sleep. In emerald eyes shining now suckers that crossed with yours. He cleared his throat, looking away, ashamed of having been discovered. He heard derisive comments to do so and thanked him in silence.

In one week, the boy beside him had crossed the barriers imposed between him and the reality of the Sanctuary, as easily as you slipped away from one temple to another. The Chinese did not stop to question how he had done without even trying. The more I try, I could not Gemini understand the interest in closer to him, more so in those moments when Dohko knew it was not good company for anyone. Maybe it was a somewhat self-destructive thing by Kanon. He does not seem odd that this was, the twin seemed to live in a different reality than the others and was in the habit of behaving like a creature out of his mind, laughing when no one expected it, talking nonsense when all were determined to treat things seriously and amid his laughter, telling truths with the touch of the best speakers. Just understand the smaller of the twins was something that was slipping from his hands. And powerfully aroused his curiosity.

I felt up in silence, stretch, yawn, crunching a couple of vertebrae in the process and begin to descend the steps of the staircase. Probably, Kanon had decided it would be good idea to Gemini and try get some sleep. Missing you to, after all. A couple of rungs below, hesitated and turned, placing his eyes tightly in his, as if that make their words possess more influence.

- Like it or not ... - she said calmly, as he talks about the weather - ... you're alive. You can not live alone forever. You can not. And the only way you do not end up losing my mind, is to accept and fabricarte a reason to live. Lie it if necessary. End up repeating many times that it will become true. It works in the world out there. It's like everyone here works for us.

A mystery. Thus ended by defining the twin when he turned again and moved on, as saying Bah, never mind, I say nothing more than nonsense ; carefree about everything. He stayed in the same place for several more minutes, repeating the words of Kanon again and again in his mind. I could not help wondering why it seemed more willing to listen to young Gemini rather than Shion. It just made some reference their behavior, Dohko placed immediately on the defensive and exploited the smallest provocation. Sometimes not even that. A worried look from the Lemurian and he devoted the best of his grunts. Nothing had told Kanon, or that first night or that day, I had told Shion. And could not understand why.

Shortly after blowing up. Towards a couple of minutes had been approaching the cosmos Shion and now that was entering the temple, I could hear the racket in the kitchen arming. Shuffled up to her and flopped in a chair. Shion turned to look at it sideways, making something area.

- A bad night? - Asked, sure of the answer.

- Like all - Chinese murmured, crossing his legs on the chair and looking at nothing in particular - I thought you were not coming today. Something I heard you had some issues to address.

- Go. After all, if you hear when you speak.

- Only the parts that interest me. And know that I finally rid of you one day was something that interested me.

Shion smiled. Dohko looked a fairly acceptable humor compared to the previous days. Perhaps that was his lucky day. If at that time had turned to the saint of Libra, he would have realized that it was studying him closely, suspecting that something was up.

- Do not come here as an old friend right? Come as the Patriarch.

The Lemurian sighed defeated. That was wrong to conclude soon.

- I remember you asked me not to intrude but as Patriarch - Shion turned and a grimace crossed his face as he notes how Dohko factions had hardened from one moment to another. This was happening too often in his presence - As such, I have something to say.

Dohko raised an eyebrow and waited patiently for the other to continue talking. Shion weight change up several times, suddenly uncomfortable. No need to use their psychic gifts to know that I had to say will not please the Chinese and that further discussion was practically a given. He approached the table and left a cup of tea in front of Dohko, who ignored her and made a gesture with his hand to speak at once.

- In two days, a meeting with the other saints gold to distribute tasks and set the guard shifts. After lunch there. Let me know if you will be present.

- I told you not want to participate in any of this - muttered Dohko, fixing his eyes tightly in Shion. The Lemurian clutched hands, trying to keep his temper under control. Dohko know how to be a problem when he wanted to.

- That's why I'm asking. With a little luck, some common sense and have recovered.

- not what you're asking me, Shion - Dohko snorted. Then he clenched his teeth, angry - that's the tone you use when you want to order something without looking like one.

- Good heavens, Dohko! Athena will be present. How can you justify that you are not there? You mean to tell you, with all peace of the world who do not obey me and do not worry, it's not obey her? What the hell are you looking for? You know perfectly well the punishments that await you if you do something like that.

Dohko bit his tongue for not responding and I look away, clenching his fists. If not presented in the meeting, Shion would get into trouble. Not only with Athena, but it also with other saints. For more than grumble and argue with Shion, I could not get rid of that. And if Athena ordering him to return to teach at the shelter, more options would not do it. The air let out a shaky breath. Kanon's words echoed in his mind more strongly that time. Sooner or later, would have to accept that he could not hide forever in your temple or supported increasing the tie that bound him to the Patriarch.

- Just this once. Do what I can.

- need more than that, Dohko. I need you to assure me you'll be there, fulfilling the role that suits you and Athena, you behave as expected - Shion was feeling extremely exhausted and the day was just beginning. Why Dohko was determined to make things more difficult?

- I'll try. It's all I can offer right now - Dohko sighed, running a hand over his face before his feet - Take it if you want, otherwise you will see. Do not ask me more.

tea had cooled and the ability to articulate words had left Shion. Suddenly, the Chinese seemed too defeated to try, even, to convince him of something else. Would be satisfied with that and expect Dohko is pleased to present to the meeting. Now that is found again only in the kitchen, there was nothing left to be done. TBC
