Okay….it's my first fanfiction. I was reading a few fics, and I was like… "I wanna make one!" So yea…I sort of reversed the storyline. Before you get all confused about the beginning, I made it how Kratos first met Anna. I hope you enjoy! (Kratos's POV)

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Tales of Symphonia character, or the game…or anything else concerning the game…except this fanfic…I own this…

Tales of Symphonia, The Love of One:

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

Kratos walked down the halls of the Cruxis main base. Mithos and Yuan were talking about his 'behaviour' and how he reacted to the idea of The Angelus Project. He had yelled at Mithos for the absurd idea of the Cruxis Crystals and the Angelus Project. How could they just go ahead and make up such stupid ideas and wasting such perfectly innocent lives!

He growled quietly to himself as he walked rather fast, back and forth down the same hall. Suddenly, he heard running footsteps from down the hall. He wondered who would be running, and his reflex brought his sword to his sword.

His heart began to beat faster and faster. Then, he suddenly saw the person round the corridor to his direction. It was a woman. She had long brown hair, and he could see her sparkling beautiful blue eyes. She wore normal blue jeans with a baby blue t-shirt.

Suddenly, the girl stopped suddenly stopped, seeing him staring at her. She slowly walked to him, as he glared down at her. 'Heh, why would she be running…and from whom, exactly?'

"Who are you?" he asked. The woman smiled at him…with a rather seducing feel to it.

"Anna…what's yours?" He raised an eyebrow. He was better than what she was probably thinking he was.

"I'm not dumb, you know? Who are you running from?" Her smile grew.

"Ah, c'mon, tell me your name! And then, maybe I'll tell you why I'm running." He noticed she edged a little closer to him. He smirked at her sudden confidence to suddenly do that.

"My name is…" He shook his head. He knew better than that. He was a Seraphim for crying out loud! "Tell me what you're doing right now!" Anna hung her head down. Sadness showed in her eyes.

"Please…let me go…I have to…" He looked down at her hands, and saw they were clenched. Then, he gasped at what he saw. There was…a Cruxis Crystal on her hand! He grabbed her wrist and pulled her close to his body.

"Who's chasing you?" Anna blinked a few times.

"I-I don't know…some soldier…will you let me go?" He looked at her, deep into her eyes. He hated the idea of the project…and she was too…beautiful to have to lose her life. He tried to show her, how he felt, by changing his own expression into a sorrow filled one.

"I…okay…" She smiled, and hugged him. He looked around the halls, making sure no one was watching.

"Thank you, so much! I will never forget you! But…please, I want your name!"

"Kratos Aurion." Anna gave him one last smile, before he pointed where she had to go to get out, without anyone seeing her, and she left quickly. He smiled as he watched her leave. 'Damn is she beautiful…'

"Hey, Kratos!" He spun around and saw Yuan walk to him.

"H-hey…" He then looked away form him, remembering the argument. "So, what was the conclusion?" Yuan sighed.

"Mithos doesn't know. Our discussion was interrupted by an announcement. Apparently, someone has left the area of the contained subjects for the Angelus Project. We're trying to find her, before she leaves the area with the Cruxis Crystal still attached to her." He then groaned and slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten! Anna still had her Crystal equipped on her! Well…hopefully she would find someone to help get it off…or not!

"Uh…Kratos, you look panicked. You okay?" He came back to…Derris-Kharlan…and paid attention to Yuan.

"Yea, uh…fine. Just have to go rest." He walked away from Yuan and went into his room that was only kept for him. He lay down on a couch, and then noticed Noishe wasn't in the room. 'Ah, he's probably…um…iunno, doin' something!'

His thoughts began to roam to Anna. She was so beautiful. If only…he could've held her longer…felt her skin longer. It was soft, even if he was only holding her wrist. It was like…angel skin. So beautiful and serene. He closed his eyes, and let his tiredness overwhelm him.
