Okay Kamai-Rui here is your last request, Raven! I do hope you enjoy it! I found his surprisingly hard to write...-_- But I think it came out well in the end! ^-^

It's been a long time since my parents left me. I'm still angry with them for that but thanks to Lyn and many others I have found the strength to forgive. Though I'm not about to start to rely on anyone they'll just leave me behind after this war is over. I won't be hurt again. That's what I want to think but for some reason I find myself chasing after someone. I am a total fool but I just can't help myself. What sort of spell has that man placed over me? Though he sure doesn't seem like the type to do that so why do I chase?

I'm looking around looking for where he could have gone off too. I ignore everyone around as I look for some red hair. Ah! There's some! I rush over to it without really thinking but I stumble upon another red haired man in this group-Lord Eliwood. Now that I think about it he isn't the type to be hanging out in camp center with everyone else.

"Kia? Did you need something?" Lord Eliwood asked and I just smiled at him.

"Forgive me. I have mistaken you with someone else," I answered politely. He looked at me perplexed for a bit but smiles at me and returns to his conversation with Lord Hector, who was grumbling something about how I could mistake Lord Eliwood for someone or something like that.

I scanned the area again looking for his blonde haired companion that even women are jealous of his looks (and unfortunately I am one of them). With how long I've been chasing him you think I would be able to pick up where he would be but today I'm having no such luck. Just then some white robes flooded into my view and the color of the hair is blonde that just leaves only one holy person in this group.

"Lucius!" I called as I ran to him.

"Hello Kia. Do you need something?" he asked.

"Have you seen Raven?" His eyes narrowed. "I-I just need to ask him something!" I said in a quick defense. He just smiles at me. Does he suspect my intentions? I'm now nervous.

"He's in the storage tent." I should have suspected. He waves goodbye and returnes to resuming to his destination.

I finally arrive at the tent. I'm double-checking my surroundings to make sure no one is watching me, especially a pesky thief. Looks like the close is clear so I peaking my head into the tent. I don't seem him but there are things he could be hiding behind. I'm looking around all the boxes for him and there I find him behind a row of swords taking a nap. I swear he can take a nap in his tent but at least this way I can see him.

"What do you want?" He asked and startles me. I bumped into a sword and nearly knock all of them over. "What the blazes!"

"S-sorry," I say and keep my head low. He mumbles something I can't hear and proceeds to pick up the swords. "I'll take care of it! It's my fault after all." He just humphs at me and continue to put them away so I start to help. "Thank you."

"Be more careful."

"Ah, yes I will." Silence befell us. I feel like an idiot right now and he must think of me the same. He sighed and is starting to leave. "W-where are you going?"

"What does it matter to you?"

"Ah...never mind..." He left just like that. I wonder if he dislikes me? He probably does...

I spent the rest of the evening chatting with Lyn and the others. I have no idea where Raven went off too but I did search for him from where I was. I don't want to bother him but I still want to be near him. What am I to do?

I sighed and am making my way to my tent. It's late might as well call it a night. On my way to my tent I can hear the feint sounds of whispers and my curiosity gets the better of me. I strain my ears so that I can pick up where they are coming from and follow the sounds. A little ways from my tent I find the source-Raven and Lucius. I know I shouldn't be listening but oh well. I'm a slave to my curiosity.

"She is so annoying!" Raven complained. Who? Me?

"Calm down, it's just who she is." Lucius defended this mysterious woman, who's probably not a mystery.

"She follows me everywhere! How do I get rid of her?"

That's it. I don't want to hear any more...I quickly make it back to my tent and sanctuary. I flopped down on my already made bed (I make it when I set up my tent) and bury my face into my cloak/slash pillow. Tears don't stream down my cheeks I've already emptied myself of them long ago but still I can't help but wish I still had that ability. I'm a total fool! A fool that no one wants! I should always remember that.

Well it's been a few days since I rediscovered that painful truth. I'm avoiding Raven as much as possible I hope he's pleased. I feel so lonely and empty, the same as before I met Lyn. People have tried to comfort me despite the fact that they know nothing, it's a nice thing but I want to be alone.

To escape everyone I'm sitting on top of a small hill under a tree, over looking the camp. I have a book with me to keep me distracted but I don't need it. My mind is just blank. It's not taking anything that my eyes are seeing. Suddenly I can hear footsteps and my brain kicks into action searching for the source-Raven.

I want to speak but my voice is nowhere to be found. He mumbles something and I think it's along the lines of "found you" though that could be just wishful thinking. He's lying down against the tree looking up at the clouds. Neither of us is saying anything and I should be happy about this but my curiosity just won't be satisfied.

"What are you doing here?" I asked with my eyes on him. My mind is taking in all his features: dark but lushes red hair, his piercing red eyes that just can't scare me away, his strong face, and so much more.

"It's a nice quiet place for a nap," he answers but never looks at me but I can't take my eyes off of him.

"But I'm here..." I whispered because I don't have the courage to say it any louder.

"So?"

"Don't you hate me?" I blurted out and for some reason I'm on the verge of tears. I still have that ability? He finally looks at me but his eyes aren't cold just confused.

"Where did you hear such nonsense?"

Ah! Now I have to admit that I was eavesdropping. He's definably going to hate me now... "I overheard you talking to Lucius..."

He let out a sigh. Great he's mad at me. I'm such an idiot. "I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about that annoying pink haired cleric." He was talking about Serra? That makes sense. I can't help but smile and laugh at this. "I don't find your company so vexing...You are aloud to join me any time if you want."

"'Kay!" I can't help contain my huge smile. I'm so happy!
