Soooooo I don't own Tales Of Symphonia, the character, places etc...i sooo wish i did though. I would be VERY rich. NAMCO do.


Raine looked over at their new companion Zelos with a frown on her features. There was something likeable about him…yet something distinctly different. They were currently staying in the Inn in Sybak where they intended to wait until morning.

Zelos however didn't look like he was going to sleep anytime soon. Raine approached his bed and sat at the bottom. Turning to face her a grin spread across his face his eyes gleaming in the moonlight.

"Well Professor Raine!" He gushed leaning forward and smiling at her his pale blue nigh shirt clashing with the orange sheets, "To what do I owe this late and very pleasant surprise."

Raine merely rolled her eyes, "You looked troubled Zelos."

"Did I?" He asked looking a little perplexed, "Well whatever it was is gone now. I feel a lot more relaxed with such a fine woman on my bed."

"Zelos do you ever take yourself seriously?"

"What's that supposed to mean Miss Raine?" Zelos mumbled feigning a hurt look.

"There is something wrong…I know there is." Raine said logically, "And instead of acting like the rest of us you put on this fake cheery smile and…" It clicked with her then that that was exactly the way Colette had acted whenever there was a problem. Wrinkling her nose Raine looked at him and shook his head, "You chosen are all the same…"

"What are you going on about all of a sudden?" Zelos asked with an amused smile on his face pulling his knees up to his chest his grey eyes meeting her blue ones.

"You and Colette just grin and bear it." She said matter-of-factly.

"Bear what?"

"What ever is bothering you."

"Nothing is." Zelos said with a grin, "Like I said a beautiful woman is on top of my bed and well…the kids are sleeping…"

"Zelos!" Raine said angrily wanting to slap the boy as hard as she did Genis and Lloyd when they acted out. Zelos wasn't a child though.

"Seriously you shouldn't worry about me." Zelos said with a wink, "Not worth your time. I'm always fine."

"Stupid boy!" Raine said in a low whisper, "On this journey you can't be too careful. Holding back on what's bothering you can change everything, affecting your fighting causing resentment to those in your group and-."

"Listen Professor I'm fine…seriously." Raine shook her head and rolled her eyes throwing Zelos a hard glare.

"Sometimes Zelos you just have to trust people." Raine said standing up.

"Goodnight." Zelos nodded and lay back on his pillows.

She was pretty sharp really. He tossed and turned for hours but that familiar horrible feeling kept building up. Sighing he left the inn after pulling on his clothes.

He leant on the wall of the inn and just looked out into the empty streets.

"Chosen One." Came a low female voice that caused Zelos to shiver, Pronyma always showed up at the worst moments. Turning to look at her with a half smile that made most women go weak at the knees he shrugged.

"Lady Pronyma." Zelos said coyly, "To what do I owe the pleasure."

"I just thought I'd check up on how things were goin-"

"Yggdrasil still not trusting me?" Zelos hissed.

"Well you are willing to betray these people who-"

"These people mean nothing to me Pronyma." Zelos said coldly, "I've known them for all of day."

"Not all of them. Sheena once journeyed with them."

Zelos' sudden wince betrayed his emotions and he looked away from her.

"So. She's not anymore." He said as confidently as he could, "A-and besides she means nothing to me."

"She did at one point."

Zelos stiffened, they couldn't possibly know that could they? Zelos let his grey eyes fall to the ground.

"Whatever Pronyma, she's not here now."

"She will be. Lord Yggdrasil says she had left Mizuho."

Zelos shook his head.

"It makes no difference my lady things will continue to go as planned."

"Good." She said with a sly smile, "You will go with the group no matter where they go."

"Gotcha."

"And Zelos." Pronyma said in a whisper, "Betray him and it means death." With that she was gone.

Zelos watched the spot she had been standing for a moment, "You make it sound so appealing Pronyma."
