Zelos nodded to himself. If Sheena had gone back to Mizuho, her home and the land of the ninjas, then surely someone would have seen her, right? But no one he asked seemed to have any clue where she was. Orochi thought that maybe she was in Altamira, but Sheena wasn't there either.
Now, as he stood here in Meltokio, pondering where else she might be, a familiar voice reached him from behind.
"Zelos!"
He turned and spotted Princess Hilda running towards him. He rolled his eyes and put on a fake smile. "Hilda!"
The blonde princess stopped and panted, "Thank goodness I found you! My sister won't come out of her room! My father thought you might be able to help!"
"You mean Lila?" Zelos didn't bother to hide his surprise. Everyone knew how before he had met Lloyd and everyone else in the regeneration group he had fallen easily for the slim, tall, black haired girl. It was no surprise that he would want to help now.
"Will you help us?" Hilda pleaded. Zelos couldn't help taking a step back as she tried to kiss him. "No!"
"What?" Hilda asked.
"Don't kiss me!" Zelos shouted.
Hilda looked upset, but it wasn't his fault; she shouldn't have tried to kiss him like that.
Zelos felt sorry. So, it make it up to her, he bent down, because she was way shorter than him, and kissed her forehead. He stood back up and said, "I'll help you and your dad."
"Thank you so much!" Hilda's eyes sparkled, and Zelos wondered if it was because he had agreed or because he had kissed her. Either way, he didn't really care. Hilda was spoiled and weak. Her sister, Lila, was strong and took care of herself. They were opposites, and anyone could see that. Personally, Zelos liked Lila better of the two.
"Okay," he said to Hilda, smiling. "Lead the way!"
