So... The chapter we've all been waiting for! Yuan's first meeting with Lloyd!))

Chapter two.

That evening, Yuan was getting ready to go to bed. He'd made himself a cup of hot cocoa, just the way he liked it, and was browsing the book shelf for something to read before going to sleep.

'What about Parry Hotter and the philosopher's kidney stone? I've only read that one two-hundred and six times…' he thought. As an immortal being, you have a lot of time to read. His pondering was disturbed, however, when the door to his office opened and a boy stormed in.

"Phew, that was close." The boy sighed.

"And just who the hell are you?" Yuan asked. The boy turned and stared at him, mouth slightly open. There was a long silence. Then Yuan looked down and noticed why the boy was staring.

"Eep!" he quickly grabbed his cloak from a nearby coat-rack, and swung it around himself to hide his bright pink pyjamas. "You saw nothing…"

"Uhuh…" the boy blinked.

"So as I was saying… Who the hell are you?"

"Give me your name, and I shall give you mine." The boy shrugged. Yuan smirked.

"You have a great sense of humour, kid." He admitted. "But I'm afraid I don't see the need to introduce myself to a miserable little creature such as yourself."

"What a coincidence. I don't see the need to introduce myself to a moron who doesn't realize how pathetic he is." The boy grinned evilly.

"Why you little…!" Yuan completely forgot about magic, as he reached out and started to strangle the twerp with his bare hands.

Suddenly, the door opened again, but this time Botta stormed in.

"Sir, have you- Hey, it's Lloyd!"

"Hey, it's that Desian I saw at the Martel temple!" Lloyd choked.

"You're Lloyd?" Yuan put the boy down again, and stepped back to take a better look. "Yes, I do see the resemblance…"

"Watchoo talkin' bout?" Lloyd frowned.

"Never you mind!"

"Oh, nearly forgot why I stormed in here." Botta said suddenly. "The chosen's group is headed this way. And Kratos is with them too."

"Really? Kratos?" Yuan's eyes started to sparkle. Lloyd and Botta stared at him. "Errr… I mean… Everything will be ruined if he sees me here." Yuan coughed. "I leave it to you Botta."

"Yes sir! You can count on me! I shall not let you down!" Botta saluted.

"Riiight." Yuan turned to Lloyd. "Hey kid, next time we meet, you're mine."

There was a small silence.

"Oh my god! Ewwwwwwww! You paedophile!" Lloyd shuddered.

"I didn't mean it like that, you moron! Jeez!" Yuan hurried into his bedroom. Just as the door closed behind him, the door into the office opened and a group of random people stormed in. Yuan quickly pushed his ear against the door to listen to the sound of battle. It was over in two minutes, however, as Botta came limping through the door and locked it behind him.

"I failed, sir."

"Gee, ya think?" Yuan said sarcastically, before eavesdropping on the conversation that was going on in his office.

"You guys! You came to save me!"

"Ofcourse we did Lloyd!" said a high-pitched voice, belonging to a certain blondie.

"You get captured too easily." Said another boy.

"Shut up Genis!"

"It's true!"

"Nuhuh! I bet Colette will get captured a lot more times than me!"

"Wanna bet?"

"You're on!"

"Would you stop arguing?" asked a female voice.

"Yes, professor." The two boys said slowly. There was a small silence.

"Ooh look! Hot cocoa!" Lloyd called, and there was a loud slurping sound. On the other side of the door, Yuan was seething. 'Darn you Lloyd, that was my cocoa and you know it!' he thought, clenching his fists.

"Hmm… Cocoa with marshmallows and a twinge of mint!"

"That's what Yuan always drinks…"

"What was that, Kratos?"

"… Nothing. Let's get out of here."

((Kratos remembered what Yuan likes to drink! Awwwwww!))
