Yay! My second fanfic…I guess the first was a oneshot.

Sheena: O.O –looks around- What am I doing here? Who are you?

You're my muse, dahling. And I am I lOvE kRaToS!

Sheena: O-ok, I guess…wait, dahling?! –takes out Divine Judgment-

O.o Wait! Not like that! Sheesh! I mean, we buddies! BFFLs!

Sheena: -lowers arms- :sigh: Fine.

Then, best bud, can you disclaimer for moi?

Sheena: I lOvE kRaToS does not own TOS, or any of the characters. NAMCO does.

And with that…let's go, bff!

Sheena: -facepalm- Oy.

Betrayal

I stood there. That place. That swirling dais where he left me. He betrayed me; betrayed all of us!

Dumb idiot! Didn't you know how much I loved you? Didn't you see it in my eyes…the sadness? I knew you for a pervert, but this? This…feeling! Don't you know how betrayal feels? I thought, almost crying.

"Sheena!" Lloyd yelled, the rest of the group on the swirling dais above. "Let's get going! We have to save Colette!"

My eyes quickly made their way up towards the leader of our group. "Lloyd…" I said, looking into those brown eyes of his. 'Puppy dog eyes' Colette had once called them. To others they seemed full of courage, hope, strength. To me, at this very moment, they seemed…comforting.

"Sheena…I know you're probably as hurt as us. But we've got to keep going. Maybe Zelos is lying. Maybe he'll recognize that going along with the 'strongest' will somehow even himself, but hopefully we can get through to him."

I stood there, awed at his speech. Snapping myself into reality, I nodded. "Yes. Let's go."

With my ninja skills, I leaped up towards the dias, and soon teleported with the rest of the group to Derris-Kharlan. Who knew what was in store when we were going there.

"Is this Derris-Kharlan?" Genis cried. "It doesn't look like it!" Raine…somehow in ruin-mode (Why? At this time? I thought) looked around. "No…this place, it is Dherris-Kharlan. What are these..enemies doing here?"

As soon as Raine said that, we were attacked. Two…mummy (?) looking people, a druid, and a ghost with a scythe. Demon seal took care of them pretty well, possibly because it was light (Ironic, no? I chuckled). Raine's photon and ray helped out, and we were able to defeat them in no time.

"That was not much of a challenge." I pointed out, putting away my cards. "No time for that!" Lloyd said. "Let's go!" Soon we were off running…running…running. As we all stopped to take a breath, Genis (who, thankfully, made something to drink) whined, "Are we there yet? Martel! I haven't run this much in my life!" Followed by a hand, and a loud SMACK!

"Genis! Keep it up! We've got to save Colette!" Lloyd said. While we finished up our drinks, I envied the determination showed by Lloyd. He was so eager in saving Colette, so ready to defend her, and I…I wished that Zelos was like that…

FLASHBACK

"Zelos, I am not your hunny!" -SMACK!-

"Owwww Sheena! I'm hurt!" Zelos cried, rubbing his red-handprinted cheek.

"Don't refer to me like I'm one of your tag-a-longs! Martel! If we weren't in a public place…"

His groupies…ugh, to mention that word!...were coming. "Zeloooooss!" They yelled. All of them in their ugly makeup that does nothing but hide their blemishes. 'I bet if Zelos were to see them without makeup he would think twice.' I thought, laughing to myself.

"Hunnies! How are you today? Thinking about Zelos, hmm?"

"Of course, Master Zelos! We were just…eww! What's this thing from Mizuho doing here?"

I shot her a look that would kill a dragon in an instant. "Thing?! Just who are you calling a thing, Ms. I-have-makeup-hiding-my-pimples-and-my-acne? I wouldn't be talking!"

Gasps were heard all around. Zelos turned to face me. "Wow, Sheena. I didn't know you had it in you." He turned back to the ladies surrounding him. "Now now, my hunnies. I must go and take this Violent Demonic Banshee with me…I shall be back!"

I turned to him, my face all red. "…Demonic BANSHEE?! Of all the stupid….You son of a…"

The women bursted out in laughter as Zelos tried—unwillingly—to pull me away.

"Zelos! How dare you!" I said, smacking him in the process. "I…I…I HATE YOU!" I turned and ran away, hearing my name being called.

END FLASHBACK

"Zelos…" I said, out loud. Everyone turned to look at me. I blushed. "I-I mean, let's go find Zelos! Come on, guys! The sooner the better!" I ran ahead, hoping to disguise the redness of my face from the group.

Zelos, I thought. I don't think you betrayed me. I know you didn't betray me. I love you. The rest of the gang caught up as I put on a look of determination and we rushed to save Colette.

-----------------------

Zelos' POV

"Now, Colette, stand still!" I said, pushing her (firm, but not hard) towards the pod below Martel's body.

"Zelos? Why? Why did you do this?" She looked at me, teary-eyed.

Why? I thought. Because I'm weak. Because I never wanted to be the Chosen. Because…because… "Because I can. Like I told everyone else. I side with the strongest. And in this case, the strongest look like they're going to win."

What I didn't want to say is that I regretted what I had done. Sure, it was to get the necessary materials to wield the Eternal Sword. But still, seeing Sheena with a look of shock in her eyes, what could she say to me? What would she say to me? I can't face her, not after this has happened. I'm…not strong enough.

------------------------------------------

So…what do you think?

Sheena: I knew it. It's a lovey-dovey thing. You know I don't do those.

Well, by the power I have, you do, best friend!

Sheena: And stop calling me that!

Then what should I call you?

Sheena: ...

Best bud?

Sheena: …

-sighs- fine. Sheena?

Sheena: What?

…Never mind. Reviews are greatly accepted! 333! Woowoo!

Sheena: -- Please no. No more of this nonsense.

Yes! More! Review!
