Tales of Symphonia, idiot renegade

((A/N: Oooh, 5 reviews!

Dragonwings144: I'm keepin' it up. Don't worry.

Katandshadow: Steamy? LOL! Well... no... Okay, maybe a little. I mean... Humm... Oh, look behind you! -flee-

Sesshy is sexii: Yuan's thought process is kinda based on my thought process. Ofcourse, with a touch of idiocy, randomness and Kratos obsession...

131Kratos: Stupid Asgard, hidden behind stupid mountains... You walk straight on to the house of Salvation, then Lake Umacy and Luin... But where you was Asgard, you wonder. Gah, I hated that place.

Off: Well, his electric ball makes noise, and lights up the room. It would risk waking Lloyd up, right? It was also a slight reference to a comic I drew once. It's on my Deviantart.

Enjoy the third (and longest) assasin scene!))

Chapter four.

Yuan arrived at Luin, where night had already fallen. Just to make sure, he grabbed the handle of the inn's front door. To his surprise, it wasn't locked.

'Awesome!' Yuan pushed the door open and entered the inn. He had just started walking up the stairs when the front door opened again, and a woman with short white hair came in, locking the door behind her. Yuan quickly pushed himself into the shadows, but the woman had heard him.

"Kratos, is that you?" she whispered.

"… Hmmhmm."

"Are you going to bed now too?"

"Uhuh."

"Okay. Good night."

"Night." Yuan said in a really low voice.

"Have you caught a cold or something?" the woman asked.

"… Yeah." Yuan said in the same voice, faking a cough.

"You sound awful." The woman concluded, and she entered a room on the first floor. Yuan let out a breath of relief, and continued his way up the stairs. He ended up in a hallway with three doors.

'Uhoh… Well, better do this the way I always decide important things.' He thought. He took a deep breath.

"Eeny meeny miny moe, catch a Mithos by the toe. If he hollers, shout 'disco'. Eeny meeny miny moe." He whispered softly, pointing to a different door at every syllable. He ended up on the door on the far right.

'Here goes nothing.' He thought, approaching it. He pushed it open, swiftly shot into the room, and closed it behind him again.

It wasn't until he turned around to face the room that he noticed there were several things wrong here. The first was that it was not dark at all. The lights were still on. The second thing was that the inhabitant of the room was not in bed, but standing right on front of him. And the third thing would be that it was neither Lloyd's nor the chosen's room.

"Yuan?" Kratos asked, staring at the blue-haired man before him.

"… You're just dreaming! In a few seconds, I will jump out that window, and you will realize that I was not really here." Yuan said slowly.

"Oh, come off it! Angels don't sleep, and you know that just as well as I do." Kratos crossed his arms and tapped his feet impatiently. "Why are you here?"

"Uh… Yggdrasill sent me! Yeah. I was supposed to check up on you, and see how your mission is going." Yuan said nervously. He took a small sidestep towards the window.

"Riiight. Two things wrong with that excuse. One, I just sent my report to Yggdrasill. Two, I doubt Yggdrasill would send you. He always sends Pronyma to spy on people."

"Damnit!" Yuan grumbled, taking another sidestep to the window that was still very far away.

"Last chance to tell me why you are here."

"Errr… Well, you see… I…" Yuan decided to use his secret trump card. This is where all those years of acting class would finally pay off. "I came here to see you because… I miss you!" Yuan said dramatically, and Kratos's jaw dropped. "We haven't seen each other in ages now! And Yggdrasill always sends you off on some stupid mission. I… got lonely!"

'Just keep talking, and slowly make for the window…' Yuan thought frantically, still edging towards the only exit, but not taking his eyes off Kratos.

"And uh… I figured that we should get together one day, and have lunch or something. And then we can make fun of Yggdrasill, just like the old days! And… Errrr… I think you deserve better than this. Being forced to babysit stupid kids. I bet it's boring. So… That's why I'm here." Yuan was a few feet away from the window now. Kratos was still staring at him with his mouth slightly open, completely at loss for words.

"Right. Well, I can see you're busy, so uh…"

Yuan broke off when he heard footsteps in the hallway. His fellow seraph didn't seem to hear them, due to his state of shock. Panicking, he did the first thing that popped into his head, and that was to dive out the window. This time, however, there was no seawater or hay-stack to break his fall. Since his reflexes were even worse than Genis's, he landed face down in some bushes before he'd even thought of pulling out his wings. He barely heard Kratos shout "Wait!". Afraid to move, he listened to the conversation taking place in the room above him.

"Kratos, what happened?" asked Lloyd's voice.

"Err… It must've been the assassin again." Kratos said slowly.

"Again? Hah, what an idiot. He failed three times now!" Lloyd laughed.

'Yeah, rub it in, why don't you?' Yuan thought angrily.

"Well, back to bed now. Night Lloyd." There was the sound of Kratos shoving Lloyd into the hallway and locking the door behind him. A few seconds later, Yuan heard something land in the grass a few feet away.

((Cliffhanger! Muahahahaha! Muahahahahahahahah!))

((Did the YuanxKratos fans enjoy themselves? Trust me, it gets even better.))
