Kindness And Violence
A/N: chapter 5. Yay! First of all I think this chapter sucks. Warning: OOCness insues. I warned you. Oh and to Arauni I don't really care, I was just very bitchy and upset that night. Repeat OOCness insues. And thanks to all of those who tried to make me feel better about Tara. I appreciate it. R&R Pwease.
P.S. Life's a bitch and then you die.
Zero burst into the throne room and yanked his father up by the shirt.
"Son, what's going on?" Azuma asked.
"Do we have the Megami princess held captive?"
"Zero..."
"Do we or do we not have the Megami Princess held captive?"
"Yes we do. She is being held in the isolated cell. What's the matter?"
Zero let go of Azuma and straightened himself out. This must mean Teela really was a princess.
"How come I was not informed of this?"
"I didn't think you'd care. We..."
"Why wouldn't I care! She's the princess. I think I should know if my worst enemy's sister is in our prisons. I was just out there making a fool of myself in front of Gner and his servant girls, saying I didn't have his sister! Do you know how stupid I must've sounded?!"
Azuma was surprised at how angry his son was. It wasn't like him to be this way, to lose his temper. He'd have to keep the boy in his place.
"Look, I am sorry you were not informed. But learn to control yourself. It was not that big of a deal. The girls to stubborn to answer questions anyway."
Well she shouldn't, Zero thought. He ignored his father's look of disapproval as he left the room. He descended the steps to the isolated dungeon and lit a torch to light up the room. As soon as Teela notices him she lunged at the bars, snarling, "You!"
"Look Tee..."
"You bastard! You set me up! I hadn't even intended on coming here. You are just as bad as the rest of them!" She spat.
Okay, he could tell she was pissed. Very, very pissed.
"Look Teela, I'm sorry. When we talked the other day I had no idea you were the Megami Princess. In fact I didn't even know Megami had a princess. It was the guards that figured it out. They did not act on my authority."
She considered this a moment and backed off a bit.
"If you had known I was a princess what would you have done?"
Zero sighed.
"If I had known, I would've asked your intentions for being here."
"And if I had said I had come to kill you all by myself?"
"Then I would've tried to talk you out of it. And if that didn't work I would have you restrained."
"And what if I had come to ask your hand in marriage so that there would be peace between our kingdoms?"
"Well, I would seriously freak out for awhile. Then I'd consider it, weighing out the pros and cons."
"And what would your answer be?"
"I'm not sure. I haven't freaked out and considered my options yet."
She smiled at his honesty, "And what if I had snuck out of my palace, hitched a ride in a hay wagon, and ended up here, it being the place the wagon stopped at. Then being mistaken for your servant, and having a conversation with you?"
"Then we would probably be in the same predicament we're in now."
"How did you figure out it was me in here?"
"Your brother showed up, pissed as hell, ready to kill someone, demanding I return you. Wait, shouldn't I be asking you the questions, instead of you, me?"
"Yes you probably should, but I started first."
He laughed a little, "You know, you're not as bad as your brother. He's just a rotten bastard!"
"Thank you for the compliment, but don't dis my brother in front of me."
She gave him a smile, letting him know that she wasn't serious. "Really though, do you actually hate my brother?"
"Yes. He hates me too."
"That's not the point. The point is you hate him, because that is the way you were brought up. But you could choose not to hate him. I was brought up to hate you, but then I saw the person you really were and made my decision."
"You don't hate me?"
"No. You are a good person. Hiead is too, you know. He just shows his feelings differently. You can't judge a person until you know them."
"So your saying Gner is not some violent bastard who cares only about himself. And he's really soft, cuddly, caring, and funny. And if I'd just give him a chance and see the person he is deep down then I'll realize he isn't such a bad person."
Teela giggled, "Nah, Hiead really is a violent bastard who only cares about himself, his servants and me."
Zero raised an eyebrow, "His servants? From what I saw he didn't give rats ass about them. Poor Ikhny scared out of her mind, and I can only imagine Kizna being dead for her temper, and..." He snapped his mouth shut a dozen words too late.
"Was that a conversation we were having?" He asked, laughing nervously.
"Uh uh Enna. Tell me what you know."
He sighed. Kizna had always said he was a blabbermouth.
"If I tell you, you can't tell that damned brother of yours."
"If you didn't notice I'm locked up in a prison cell." She replied sardonically.
"You actually thought I'd keep you here?" he laughed, "No I was planning on releasing you. There's no reason to keep you here."
She gave him a grateful look and repeated her question, "What do you know?"
"I wanted a heads up on whatever your plans were. So I sent over two of my servants to replace the ones that died over there."
"You sent spies."
"I guess you could say that. One of the girls your brother showed up with was one I sent."
Teela nodded, "I won't tell. In fact I may even help out. Anything for this dreadful war to end."
"I want the war to end just as much as you, Teela, I do." He sighed "It's not easy though."
He took the key, unlocking the cell, and letting her out.
"I know Zero, but the answer may be right in front of our noses. We have to try harder to find it. Maybe I'll see you again."
He led her to the stables letting her borrow a horse. She thanked him and rode off into the sunset.
A/N: Can we all say corny ending. Sorry about the sucky chapter. It's just more in depth on Teela and Zero's relationship. You know getting to know each other and stuff Oh well. R&R pwease.
