Disclaimer- I don't own any of the Tales characters, but I do own Ketsueki.

Warnings- For now nothing, but this will later contain Yaoi which means GuyxGuy action and Yuri which is GirlxGirl. Don't like it then you should turn back now.

Pairings- As for pairings it will be Lloyd/Zelos, Regal/OC, Colette/Presea, and Sheena/Raine. And maybe some Kratos/Yuan later.

This whole idea came to me after I beat the game for the first time. I hope you enjoy and if you do I will continue posting more.

Chapter 1

"Lord Yggdrasill he's here"

A blonde haired man turned at the voice of his follower. "Bring him in."

"Yes sir." the angel said as he flew out of the room.

The blonde laughed darkly as he saw a new figure approach him.

"I heard you need my service." the figure said in a gruff voice. This newcomer had shoulder length midnight black hair, some of the strands drifted into pools of amethyst. A tight black muscle shirt stretched across the fairly toned chest and a dark navy blue pair of pants covered his lower body. The outfit was finished off with a pair of black combat boots. A light brown strap was thrown across his chest on the other side of the man's chest was a black and red scythe. On the man's right shoulder was a black cloak.

"Yes Ketsueki I have a certain boy..." the blonde started to say.

Hazel hues slowly came into view as they blinked sleep out wearily.

"Hey Lloyd you finally awake?" a male voice said as a familiar redhead tended to a pot.

The crimson clad swordsman sat up and nodded his head yes as he watched the small fire that was currently cooking curry.

"Hmmmm. Is that curry?" Lloyd asked as he sniffed the aroma of the food from the air.

"Yeah." The red-head said as the companions fell into a comfortable silence.

The two had been traveling over the newly reunited world for nearly two months now. So far the village Iselia and the city Meltokio were the only ones that had destroyed their exspheres. Part of that was the fact that the lands had changed around somewhat leaving the two with no idea where they would end up at first the other was that Lloyd didn't know where to start. Though since starting the two had gotten closer.

"Dinner's ready." Zelos declared as he served the two. During the meal the two ate in silence until they heard light footsteps. The brunette man slowly pulled his swords from their resting place and stepped into an attacking stance as Zelos walked forward slowly. Out of the bushes a man with midnight black hair walked out.

His hands in the air as he said "I won't harm you. My name is Ketsueki."

"My name is Zelos and this is Lloyd." said the redhead hand still hovering above the sword.

"Ketsueki, may I ask why your wandering the forest at this time of night?"Lloyd questioned curious about this newcomer.

"Well I was looking for the city of Ozette, but got lost along the way." the black haired man said.

"Wow. We are trying to head there too. Would you like to join us?" Lloyd asked while Zelos still eyed the man with suspicion.

'This is easier than I thought. The boy in red is more trusting then the redhead.' "Sure." replied Ketsueki.

Lloyd held out his hand as the newcomer took it.

"Welcome to our little group then. We are having curry would you like some?"

"No thank you." said Ketsueki as he declined politely.

"Lloyd, can I talk to you for a minute?" Zelos asked urgently.

"Sure. What do you want to talk about?" Lloyd said oblivious.

"Alone please." Zelos added to make it easier for Lloyd to understand.

"Oh, okay. We'll be back soon Ketsueki. In the meantime make yourself comfortable." the brown haired said as he was dragged off by his companion rather roughly.

"Oww. Zelos that kind of hurts."

"Sorry." the redhead replied sheepishly.

"It's okay. So what do you want to talk about?" Lloyd asked curiously.

"I hate to say this, but don't you think you're putting a little too much trust in this newcomer." Zelos asked carefully. 'I just hope this doesn't hurt his feelings, but there is something about this man that is off.'

"Remember Dwarven vow number two it's better to be deceived than to deceive." Lloyd stated proudly before he walked away.

"It's always you and your vows. Let's just hope this works out well." the redhead muttered before following the twin swordsman back to the campsite.

A/N: Review. And ifI am wrong on the Dwarven vow number feel free to tell me.
