The Angel of Brown Eyes
Sheena went in a journey in hopes that, a certain swordsman noticed her,How will the angelic swordsman, Lloyd, react when, he starts noticing another angel? The Beautiful Girl that accompanies him, Sheena Fujibayashi.
Chapter 7 "Epilogue! The life of a Ninja and a Swordsman!"
Lloyd stared at the white sky….above Flanoir.
The snow fell and melt in his gloves…He only thought of 1 thing... Sheena.
One would think it strong but…Sheena was his girlfriend…
Now one thing bothered him; What Next?
Of course…After friendship came…love….and then…then?
The swordsman found himself at a loss.
He wanted her; nothing else, but how?
His love was real, even after death he'd still love her.
Someone stood behind him; Lloyd pointed his red material blade on the intruder's neck.
"Whoa Lloyd!"
"Kratos? Don't stand behind me."
"I won't."
"Did you need something?" he said coldly.
"Again at a loss?" he grinned.
"No!! I…"
"Right…"
"Kratos…"
"Sheena is your girlfriend; what comes up next? You're thinking that right?"
"…" Lloyd stared at him with his usual, 'ya got me' face.
"Lloyd…You're now at the crossroad in your life."
"Eh?"
"Don't you get it? Now is the era when a man becomes what he 'll be the rest of his life."
"I…"
"You know you love her. She loves you; what to do? Simple." Kratos handed a small box to his clueless son.
"This?"
"Open it."
"Rings?" Lloyd observed. 2 rings, One with a 'L' the other with a 'S'
"Yes."
"You mean…MARRIAGE?" he asked.
"Yes…"
"Kratos…"
"Those are the one you mother and I had…"
"Mom's…"
"Yes. Lloyd, you and her love each other…As your mother and I did."
"Kratos I…"
"Don't ask her right away. Do it when you're ready."
"Thanks…"
"No problem Oh… and one more thing…"
"What?"
"I hope your kids…are not like his father…" he flew off.
"You!" Kratos escaped.
"I think he's right…I'm too rash…"
But, Kids? Why?
In a way, he was option less, he needed her, but…Could he do it? What's worse…they had few days together, not counting they knew from before…but
Was he capable of doing it?
Dirk always said, Eternity was VERY long so you had to choose…who to spend it with…did he wasn't to spend the rest of his life…and eternity…with her?
Those questions resonated in his head…Would he?
All pointed to yes.
However…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sheena visited Colette.
The ninja visited Colette for advice.
"Sheena, what can I do for you? Come in!"
"Thanks Colette."
Zelos appeared with a Small paper on his hands-
"Hi Sheena! Oh Honey, It's my turn to shop so I'll get going."
"All right."
"I'm making the potatoes you love so much but…you have to eat the Bell Peppers too." Zelos Beamed.
"No Fair!" Colette Pouted and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Now…Now…Do it for me ok?"
"All right…" she sighed.
"See ya."
Sheena watched the young couple and couldn't help but smile, how had Colette managed to settle with Zelos? Martel held some tight mysteries to herself.
Both girls sat down in Colette's Bed.
"So Sheena what's up? How's Lloyd?"
"Well…we've confessed and…"
"Yes…?" Colette's eyes flashed.
"We're a Couple."
"Congrats Sheena!" Colette hugged her.
"Yeah…"
"You're hiding something…" Colette said.
"Yes Lloyd…is acting weirdly." Sheena's eyes saddened.
"Huh?"
"He goes off alone…Tells me he needs to think about something…."
"Oh…"
"And I don't want to lose him…"
"Sheena I don't think…He wants to leave…"
"But why…"
"He's thinking about…The next Step."
"Next…Step?" Sheena blinked.
"Yes…He'll ask you the 'Big' question Sheena."
"T...The…Big…Question…?"
"Marriage."
"Ah…um…" Sheena grew beet red.
"Yeah, Zelos did something like that too."
"Huh?"
"H used to go alone…Looked so sad…and always…said…'Colette I need to tell you something…' Or 'Colette I…I…I…' He wouldn't come to see me for days."
"He too…"
"Yes, Lloyd is pondering about it."
"I…don't think so…" she said even redder.
"Now, now Sheena…You're going to tell me you don't want him with you?"
"Err…Ah…"
"You see? Your redness talks lots."
"Colette…"
"Sheena he is about to…Be patient…"
"But…"
"I know…You fear Lloyd will leave but…He's not like that."
"Yes…" She reminded herself of Lloyd's Oath.
"Sheena Even if…the Entire World comes against me…I won't falter! I'm your knight! I'll Love you Forever…"
"Lloyd…" she blushed. Remembering the good times.
"Sheena?"
"I…Thanks…Colette."
"No Problem."
"Mmm…Those 2 need help." She said as Sheena left.
"What will I…?" Lloyd said blankly.
Kratos' words struck deep, one part of him wanted to tell her but the other was in complete fear, what if…she did not want to…? Or they broke up? Although Kratos…had said what he did…this wasn't a Joke. Eternity is a long time and he wanted to spend it with her.
Uncertainty ate him up, but at this point all obstacles were beat right?
Or Just a mere Illusion? Those feelings in his heart…were not false, that much he knew.
He just hoped…just a bit…
In that moment…Sheena entered.
Lloyd looked at her, a goddess, If Martel was Beautiful, She could not match Sheena.
She turned to see her boyfriend, Blushing and completely lost in her…
The very thought of this also made her blush.
"Lloyd?"
"…"
"Hello? Tethe'alla to Lloyd?"
She waved her hand in front of him.
"Oh Sheena…"
"Lloyd do you still blush because of me?" she asked happily.
"Of…C...Course…I'm not used to being around girls…much less goddesses…"
"Goddess? Thanks Lloyd…" she hugged him from behind.
"N…No problem…" he retorted.
"I think...You're handsome too…" She said red-faced.
"Thanks…"
"I love you Lloyd Irving…"
"I love you too…"
They switched positions and Sheena fell asleep in Lloyd's arms.
The Swordsman averted his gaze to the falling snow, He had to do it, but could he?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Party?"
"Yes, Colette told me about your problem…so I decided to give you 2 help."
"No offence, but you will only spoil it." Lloyd Sweat dropped.
"Hey, Hey, Hey Never question Zelos Wilder, My calculations are perfect…pretend you're on a mud boat…" He smiled.
"For the nth time…don't say mud boat…So what's your plan?" Lloyd smacked his forehead.
"Simple. My wedding anniversary is coming up so why don't you do it there? In privacy, of course."
Lloyd sighed, a bit relieved, if he couldn't do it just with her…He sure couldn't in front of everyone…
"Calm down Lloyd."
"Yeah right."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Party?"
"Of course, Sheena, Colette, the chosen is gonna aid you!"
"She starts to act like her husband…" Sheena whispered.
"I have an Idea Sheena…"
"Huh?"
"Sing."
"Sing?"
"Yeah, tell him of your feelings in a song…"
"Will it work?" Sheena asked.
"Worked for me…"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The day of the chosen anniversary arrived, everyone came…Genis and Presea, Regal and Raine…Even Yuan was there…
Lloyd was in a black formal attire. Red scarves and Materiel Blades, in waist.
"I…"
"Lloyd."
Lloyd turned back. Sheena, her hair curled up in 2 tails, a crystal blue blouse and dress. Lloyd could swear, he was about to do it.
"Sheena…y…you…l…ook…stunning…" he stammered.
"Thanks." She giggled and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "I have surpise for you."
"Eh?"
"You'll see." She winked and kissed him on the lips quickly, leaving him like an idiot.
Lloyd sat on the same table as Genis and Presea.
"So Lloyd is Sheena your girl?" Genis asked.
"Yes."
"Congratulations! Presea Smiled.
The lights darkened and on a Stage Zelos appeared.
"Ladies, Gentlemen and stupid Brats!" he said eyeing Genis. "How're you tonight?"
"Fine!" everyone said.
"Really confused…" Lloyd murmured.
"Well we have a special act just for you…from Mizuho Sheena F.!" he announced.
Zelos went and sat beside Colette.
"You think she'll do it?" she smiled.
Of course…"
Sheena stepped onto the stage.
"Good night Everyone! This song goes for the one who drives me crazy, for the boy I live for! I leave it up to you to guess who it is.! She winked.
Everyone stared at Lloyd.
"It's so obvious? Geez…"
The music begun and Sheena closed her eyes…
My love's so strong that it could burst
1/3 of it is all I can tell…
Can't find courage… can't go on…
I'm trying to say I love you…
Lloyd opened his eyes like saucers, never had he seen so much beauty…
Genis stared at his best friend. "Lloyd?" he turned to Presea.
"He's gone…" she smiled….
Night's so long I can't sleep…
Just think about you and me…
'That's love' I whisper, hoping you'll hear…
In the midst of this talk,
My heart beats grow strongly…
And they turn into heat and, scorch me furiously…
"She's so beautiful…" Lloyd said.
"Lost case…" Genis and Presea laughed in union
Give me your breeze…
Give me your smile…
The cold night turns into summer 'cause of you…
My love's so strong that it could burst
1/3 of it is all I can tell…
Can't find courage… can't go on…
I'm trying to say I love you…
"Lloyd?" Presea waved her hand in front of him
"Watch this…" Genis said. "Repeat after me…I'm Lloyd Irving…the most stupid swordsman who ever lived."
"I'm Lloyd Irving…the most stupid swordsman who ever lived." He said like a machine.
Presea and Genis were agape…
Your sweet smile shines on me…
I'm falling for you…
Just like a breeze in summer…
Your skin tempts me…
Give me your breeze…
Give me your smile…
No matter what barriers you get…
I'll be there for you…
Lloyd was busy seeing his girl but smacked Genis.
"I'm lost but not out…Genius…" Lloyd said angrily.
"Ouch…" Presea laughed and rubbed her boyfriend's head.
If no one on Sylvarant loves you so…
My Heartbeats will reach you…more and more…
If silence beats me and I can't talk…
Martel will know…
Distance dies on the heart…
But not even that can erase my passion…
Seeking the way that leads only to you…
No pain can stop my devotion…
"She means…me…"
"Wow…good deduction…Lloyd…" Genis laughed.
"Shut it…"
"Lloyd there is a 100 chance she loves you." Presea giggled.
"Thanks for stating it again." Lloyd said sarcastically.
"You're welcome!" the little couple said in unison.
Give me your breeze…
Give me your smile…
Let my arms get to you…
And kiss, just us two…
If no one on Sylvarant loves you so…
My Heartbeats will reach you…more and more…
If I never said it…it maybe 'cause…
I thought I was dreaming…
My love's so strong that it could burst
1/3 of it is all I can tell…
Can't find courage… can't go on…
I'm trying to say I love you…
The song stopped and Lloyd clapped, he made a decision…
"Now, Colette and I will give you the next number!" Zelos announced.
Sheena faced Lloyd.
"C…Can I tell you something?"
"Of course." She smiled and both went outside.
Sheena I know that we haven't been together that long…but I…"
"Lloyd…" she grew beet red.
"I want to be with you…I want to grow old at your side….Will you…Marry me?"
He put the silver ring with the 'S' around her finger.
"Oh Lloyd Irving…I would not want anything more."
"Ah…"
She pressed her lips to his…In a passionate kiss…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now anyone would say those 2 got separated eventually but…no.
The wedding took place on the Flanoir church, with Zelos as the best man; Colette the main woman.
When Sheena threw the flowers bouquet, Presea caught it, needless to say Genis fainted.
10 years had passed.
Two children lived with them, Mai Irving Fujibayashi and (Due to the lack of creativeness of the father and of his ego) Lloyd Irving Fujibayashi.
The girl just like her mother expect, she had the eyes and hair color of her father. the boy just like Lloyd, except he had sheena's gentle eyes.
Then a middle aged man appeared red hair and a sword.
"Grandpa Kratos!" Lloyd exclaimed.
"Grandpa Kratos! You came!!" Mai hugged him.
"Lloyd, Mai! How have you been?" Kratos asked.
"It was true…" Sheena said.
"What was true honey?"
"This Tiara, the one you risked your life, my love."
"Ah…so it was useful." Lloyd raised his index in his fashion.
"Yeah, you did not suffer in vain…"
"Grandpa! I'm going to beat you!" Lloyd jr. exclaimed.
"If I had 1 gald every time I heard that…" Kratos turned to older Lloyd. "With an unrefined swordsmanship such as yours? No, but don't worry, it's a hereditary effect…" Kratos smirked as he eyed his son
"Hey! I didn't get that beat!" Older Lloyd protested." I mean at the beginning but…"
"Yeah, don't be so tough on Lloyd!" Sheena added.
"Yeah? Your logic was 1 sword;100 percent 2;200 percent. conclusion? You're not the sharpest tool in the shed." Kratos hadn't lost his calmness.
"Wanna try? It'll be the same result as in torrent forest!" Lloyd defied.
"I beat the father already." He countered.
"The father beat you!" Lloyd shot back.
"Barely. Now I'll train the son so he doesn't make the same mistake as his foolish father." Kratos cracked his knuckles and turned to his grand child. "Lloyd junior!" he said firmly.
"Yes grandpa Kratos?"
"If you can land one blow, one blow anywhere on my body, I'll take you and your sister to the Altamira Park, all day!" Kratos said kindly.
"Go for it big brother!" Mai exclaimed.
"Yes thanks, Sis, today I'll get you a doggie like the one mom got from dad!" the cocky boy exclaimed drawing his angel blades.
"Some things never change…" Kratos readied his gloves and drew his sword
"Look at him; he's your live reflection." Sheena rested her head on his chest.
"I hope he's not as reckless…" Lloyd replied caressing her hair.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Altamira was fun huh Mai?"
"Yes but you just, cut grandpa's cape…It was luck big bro…" Mai said.
"A deal's a Deal." Kratos Retorted.
"Mom, Dad, Tell us a Story!" Lloyd jr. said.
"Yeah, why do your rings have 'S' and 'L' on them?" Mai asked eagerly.
"Should I?" Lloyd asked Sheena.
"Sure." She smiled. "Ok kids, come here…"
"Yeah I better get comfortable…" Kratos flicked his hair in his fashion.
"Why's that grandpa?" Mai asked.
"Ask him." Kratos laughed, pointing at Lloyd, and leaned against a wall.
"Hey it's not that LONG…." Lloyd countered.
"Sure." Kratos said.
"Ok,mom, dad Tell us!" Both children asked excitedly.
"Right." Sheena said.
"Ok, kids, let me tell you of an era…a long time ago…when I started to Notice…A certain Angel of brown Eyes…And it turned My world upside down…"
