Shihna sighed as she looked down at the letter she was writing. It was always so hard writing letters to the king. "How come I have to do this?" she demanded. She turned to Zelos who was sitting next to her. "Well, you're the emissary of peace," Zelos pointed out. "You never said I had to write letters and go around with you," she said, irritated. "You're so mean," Zelos whined. "If I'm so mean, then why are you always with me?!"
"It's because you're so cute!" he exclaimed, throwing his arms around her and hugging her tightly. "Ah! You idiot! Get off!" Shihna tried to shove him off. "You're heavy!" she yelled. "But your body's so soft and-" "GET OFF!" Zelos pulled away reluctantly. "If you keep on going on like that you'll be single for life, you know." Shihna turned back to her letter. "Better than being with you," she retorted. "That hurts, hunny."
"Good," she said, checking over her work. "But you won't be able to get with Lloyd, either," he said, scooching over so he was right next to her. "I don't care," she said. "Oh, really? Why does it look like you're trying so hard to keep a straight face, then?" There was silence for a few seconds. "See? I'm right, aren't I? You sti-" "Get out." Zelos froze. "Huh?"
"Get out of my house!" Shihna yelled, throwing a pillow at him. "Oomph!" The pillow hit him in the face. "I can't work with you here!" she yelled. "But-" "GET OUT!" She threw more objects at him. "Whoa! Whoa! Stop! I'm sorry! Really!"
Shihna sighed and stopped attacking him. She turned back to the letter. Zelos raised his eyebrows. "You're still angry, aren't you?" No response came. He rested his chin on her shoulder. "I'm sorry, hunny," he said, quietly. She turned away and shook him off. "Hmmm..." He moved closer. "Really..." He gently blew on her ear. "What are you-" Shihna turned around to find Zelos' face right in front of hers. "Mmph!" She blinked several times. Her lips were...against his?! The calligraphy pen that Shihna was holding fell from her hand and made black splotches all over the paper that she was writing on. She quickly pulled away. "What are you doing?!" she demanded. "Nothing...you were the one that crashed into me," Zelos said calmly. "It felt good though." Shihna's face flushed. "Don't think that I like you or anything! It was all an accident!"
"Do you want to try again?" he asked. "Yes! No! What am I saying?!" She hated it when she acted like this in front of him. "I-I..." She stopped herself. "It's okay if you want another one," Zelos said, cheerfully. She wanted to slap him in the face. "I don't want a thing like that." She stood up. "Where are you going?" he asked. She didn't bother answering.
"Yoo hoo! Shiiihhhnnnaa!" He followed her out of the room. "Go home," she said. "Eh?" She started pushing Zelos towards the door. "I really can't do any work with you here," she said. "Or are you just embarassed bec-" "It's nothing! Really!"
"Really?" He looked at her skeptically. "It's really nothing," she said, knowing that she wasn't convincing him at all. "I'll see you tomorrow then." She nodded. "And before it really was an accident..." he said, facing the door. "I know..."
Shihna was caught off guard when he suddenly turned around. "What is it?" she asked. She found her body temperature rising for the second time that day when he leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek. "See ya!" He swivelled around, opened the door and left. Shihna touched her cheek where he had kissed it. "...Idiot." Oh well. She could hit him tomorrow. She got the feeling that she would be dealing with him...for a very long time.
SakuMeiMei Says: Of course she'll deal with him for a long time. XD In marriage. Heh heh. This one was...hard to do. Believe me. I had a hard time. XD I didn't really know where it was going.
Chapter 30...might be the last one for a really long time. So I'm sorry if I don't update for about a month. I'm going to Hong Kong/China (gonna spend time in both) so it'll be hard to get access to a computer. Anyways, the next chapter will have a wedding. XD Yes, that's right. A wedding.
