Sheena's Decision

Sheena sat alone in the her room. The sun was still high in the air with barely any clouds in sight. Everyone was out, Genis and Raine looking around the town, Zelos, Colette and Presea shopping. Everyone was waiting for her. She thought it over many times but couldn't make her decision. Lloyd clearly told her not to follow him and there was no reasons for her to go looking for him anymore since he had told her that he didn't need the two swords that Sheena tried to return. It was true that they could still go around looking for the one who attacked Mizuho, but they didn't have enough information. They didn't even have any clue on how that person looked like.

Sheena sighed. Only if she some information about that swordsman, even a little, she wouldn't have hesitated. If she chooses to go on, she may just go around in circles and never get anywhere. This didn't reallt matter to her since she could just leave that village for her fellow ninjas to run, but she didn't want to waste her friend's time. Genis and Raine still had to go around the world to get half-elves accepted, Zelos, Colette and Presea came all this way just for her setting their duties aside, and even Regal, who runs a huge company although he had left previously.

"What do I do..." Sheena sighed. She rolled her body and say by the corner. She would have felt a lot lighter if she was alone from the start. It didn't really matter if anything would happen to her, but she didn't want to cause any trouble to her friends.

Sheena looked out the window. The sun was setting slowly. The others were going to be returning soon. "I guess I don't have any choice..." Sheena sighed. There was a small knock on the door and Sheena stood up to open it.

"So Sheena, have you decided?" Raine asked.

"Yes... I did, matter of fact," Sheena announced.

"Wow... that really took you..." Genis sighed.

"Sorry..." Sheena muttered.

"It's okay! So shall we go?" Colette shouted excitedly.

"Go? Where?" Sheena asked, puzzled.

"Aren't we going to continue our journey?" Colette asked.

"who decided that?" Sheena was more puzzled.

"What? So you've decided to abandon the quest?" Colette shouted.

"...yes... I've deceded to abandon the quest," Sheena answered.

"But... but why?" Colette asked.

"I just figured that we don't have enough information to go look for the attacker and Lloyd told us that he doesn't want us to follow him," Sheena answered.

"You are giving up just because of that?" Colette shouted.

"Yes..." Sheena sighed.

"Wow... you sure give up fast..."Genis muttered, disappointed.

"I'm... sorry," Sheena muttered.

"No, it's okay dear. You made the right choice. It is true that we don't have enough information to go out looking for whoever he is. We don't even know how he looks like. It was a wise decision you have made," Raine answered.

"Thank you Raine," Sheena muttered.

"But when we DO get enough information, let's gather up again," Raine winked.

"Sure! That would be great!" Sheena answered.

"..." Zelos sighed. He didn't say anything during the whole conversation. Only thing he did was stare look up at Sheena. "Why do you not trust us..." Zelos sighed as if he noticed something.

"Well. that's that! Let's go to sleep, I'm sleepy," Sheena clapped.

"I guess..." Genis sighed.

"I'm sorry Sheena..." Colette apologized.

"It's okay, I know how you feel..." Sheena answered.

"Are we done? Let's go to bed," Zelos announced.

The room was quiet. There was a small noise by the door but then, the room was silent once more. There were small tapping noises through the village but it soon grew silent. At the entrance of the town, stood a black shadow.

"And just where are you going?" came a firm male voice. The shadow stopped and looked back toward the source of the sound. "Zelos!" The shadow shouted.

"Yes... it's me... and just where do you think you're going?" Zelos snickered from above the tree. "Sheena,"

"Just a little stroll," Sheena answered. Zelos smiled and jumped down from the tree.

"You are going after Lloyd... aren't you?" Zelos asked.

"..." Sheena didn't reply.

"And you were planning to go on the adventure all by yourself, right?" Zelos snickered.

"I... just didn't want to be a bother to any of you..." Sheena muttered.

"My beloved honey, why don't you try to trust your friends a bit more," Zelos stated.

"I'm sorry..." Sheena sighed.

"Don't you think we'd be more worried if we wake up tomorrow morning and find out that you went on the adventure all by yourself?" Zelos continued.

"But we don't even know how that guy looks like or how strong he is, I was afraid that I might put all of you in danger," Sheena protested.

"And you think that you can take him out alone?" Zelos laughed. "Let's go back and tell others what you really feel,"

"..." Sheena didn't answer.

"Sheena! Let's go!" Zelos sighed. "Fine... how about this... I know how that person looks like and I do have some information about him,"

"... What?" Sheena shouted.

"Just what I said," Zelos smiled.

"You knew? Then why didn't you tell us?" Sheena shouted with annoyance.

"Becauvvse no one asked," Zelos smiled.

"You're hopeless..." Sheena sighed. "Okay... let's go back..."

"Sure," Sheena headed back toward the town. "Lloyd... just you wait... I haven't given up just yet!" She muttered.

Hmm... Why do I have a feeling that my actual story will start from here... hmm I wonder why... Please R&R
