Xena sat on a log, deep in thought. While normally her thoughts were focused on her past sins, today her thoughts were plauged by a different kind of sin. Plauged by someone. Her mind was swirling with memories of the entirity of their realtionship. The fighting, the stolen kisses, the looks, the smiles, and lastly every word spoken since their meeting.

Oh, how she had tried to be his enemy. To sperate herself from the feelings that would overcome her when he was near. But it seems that no matter what he does, what he says, those feelings never end.

Yes her thoughts were plauged with her love of her enemy and her trusted friend. Suddenly her thoughts cleared until only a name remained.

Yes only he could do this to her.

Only Ares.
