Amazon Bunny- ::Ahem:: well, on the previous chapter's "thank you reviewers" section, I am truly sorry that the addition sign did not show up. so ToS Fangirl, I apologize.
Raine- ...WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! ::slaps unconscious Kratos' face:: HE WON'T WAKE!
Amazon Bunny- Nuthin...::whistles:: Well, I don't own Tales of Symphonia, but I totally love it, I've beat teh bull outta Mithos like 12 times, god he's soooo easy. Well, anyhoo, I won't be posting very often anymore, I've got lots of homework (Damn those teachers) and Honors Orchestra to attend to every week...(starts practicing).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What do you mean, you're not letting me go?" Raine took a step backwards. She was desperately afraid; she didn't have her magic staff with her.
"It's a very simple term. You're going to stay here," the drunkard flung his empty bottle against the clay walls. "I have somethin' I wan' outta ya." He made a lunge for Raine's hand but missed. "Your reflexes are fast, girl..."
Raine slapped him away. "Arrogant bas-" In her hurry, she tripped over the crude steps and fell flat on her back. Using her keen eyesight, she noticed a fairly large stick sitting in the corner. She grabbed it, but not fast enough. The extremely drunken man seized his bottles and smashed them on Raine. Cuts appeared all over her face and exposed areas, she was bleeding badly. All was not faring well. Her fever chose the wrong time to come back, and she felt very nauseous.
She waved her weapon threateningly in front of her. "Don't come any closer, or I'll curse you." The mage didn't know if she could channel magic into a stick but...
"Ha, that's a laugh! You know, the last woman also said that...She was the strongest mage but yet she couldn't channel magic into non-magical items either!" The man knocked the stick out of her grasp and hit Raine on the head, promptly concussing her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Lloyd, that guy said there was a strange man with a mage that stopped by the inn not a couple of hours ago!" Sheena huffed, struggling to keep up with her companion's quick pace.
"You think I know that? I bet that guy who kidnapped Raine is a Desian!" Lloyd snapped, striding faster. "Damn it, if I find out who did it..." He made a violent gesture in the air. "That's what I'll do!"
"Lloyd, control yourself!" Presea said angrily. "It won't do you any good to be vulgar now." She clambered over the cobblestone steps.
"Yes, the best thing we can do now is see if Raine is indeed at the inn." Regal said smartly.
They continued in an abnormal silence until they entered the inn.
"Hello, would you like a room?" The lady at the counter asked. "It's 300 gald per night."
"Actually, we were wondering if a mage with silver hair checked in earlier," said Zelos. "But maybe you and I can get together during your break?" He felt a sharp sting on the back of his head. "Ow, Sheena! I just wanna get to know my hunnies!"
"Yes, there was a mage that came in several hours ago. However, she was unconscious and there was a dude in purple that asked for the room," the woman said, scratching her orange hair.
"Which room?" Genis demanded.
"Upstairs and to your left?.." the woman said meekly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The door creaked open.
"Ah, are you back from your walk, Raine?" Kratos asked, assuming Raine was by the door.
"What? You?!" Zelos yelped. "You kidnapped Raine?"
Kratos turned away from the window at the unfarmiliar voice. "Oh, hello, Lloyd, everyone. Did you see Raine? She said she went for a walk."
"Don't play dumb with me, you sonofa-" Genis snarled. "You have Raine, and we know it!"
"I did, but she left." Kratos said calmly. "As for her whereabouts, I don't know." He raised his eyebrows. "What are you trying to say, anyway? Are you suggesting I would toy with a woman like her? Insane."
"Shut up!" Several knights barged in the room. "we had a call about a heated arguement that may result in a fight. Seeing as you all have weapons, you have been sentenced to fight in the Colleseium."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raine woke up, a simple sheet covering her. Her head throbbed painfully. "K-kratos?" She whispered. "Please tell me you're here." She tilted her head slightly to her left and saw that she was in a rundown shack somewhere in the slums. She sat up quickly, the sheet sliding off her, and then she immediately pulled the sheets up to cover her barely clothed body. She knew immediately where she was and what had happened to her just then, and the news hit her hard.
"You're awake." The man said haughtily. "Took you long enough. I coulda went to Sybak and come all the way back." He smirked at her. "Oh, and, I borrowed more money, I knew you wouldn't mind."
"What have you done to me?" Raine shivered underneath the sheet. She felt so...used. This was all her fault. If she hadn'tve left the inn...
"I didn't know you were a half-elf, that made it a lot more interesting," the man said. "And by the way, my name's Blaret. I'm a swindler and master gambler. But I lost all my fortune by making a bet and lost. So now I'm getting money the easy way."
Raine flinched in the bed. She suddenly felt sick inside. "That's awful..."
"You didn't tell me that you were a..." Blaret grinned cockily. He stroked his red stubble of a beard thoughtfully. "You shoulda told me you were a virgin. Then I might have gone easier on you. Oh well, what's past is the past, right?" He laughed.
Raine gasped. Her worst fears were confirmed. A single tear rolled down her cheek. "No!" She cried. "No, it can't.."
"Oh yes." Blaret tossed Raine her 'Maiden' costume. "Now take it." He walked outside for a smoke.
Raine halfheartedly climbed into it. She was blinded by her tears and grief. It was just so impossible. There was only one thing on her mind--- revenge.
She rummaged through the drawers and found a sharp kitchen knife. Hiding it in the many folds of her shirt, she heaved herself out a high window and ran out of the slums, but not before she pierced Blaret in the chest with the knife.

"In this corner of the arena, Lloyd Irving, Genis Sage, Sheena Fujibayashi, aaaaaaaand Zelos Wilder!" The announcer yelled loudly through a microphone for the audience to hear. "And in the corner of the arena, Kratos Aurion!!!"
The crowd cheered wildly. "Goooo Chosen!" "Yea, kick his sorry ass, Sheena!" "You can do it, Kratos!" "C'mon, you can kick Kratos' butt, Genis and Lloyd!"
"Heh," Kratos spat bitterly on the ground. "I wanted this fight for a long time, Lloyd."
"And why's that, Kratos?" Lloyd yelled back.
"This is finally a fight where there is no true healer." He jerked his auburn head at Zelos and Regal. "It seems both of them barely can heal."
"Humph..."
"LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!" The announcer yelled, then retreated into the sancitity of the Top Box.
"Double Demon Fang!" Kratos began the fight. He struck the ground with his sword and two blasts of energy traveled along the ground and hit Genis. The young mage flinched.
"I summon thee, Maiden of the Mist, come, Undine!" Sheena yelled as a holy figure known as Undine appeared. Undine waved her arms quickly, "Ready?" A icy blue Spread engulfed Kratos.
"Thunder Blade!" Zelos called, and a giant sword fell from the sky and exploded on Kratos. The mercenary sustained little damage, however. "Damn, my attacks are futile.." Zelos murmurred.
"Indignation Judgement!" Genis called after charging up. A brilliant light engulfed the auburn haired mercenary and he fell on the ground. Wiping a trail of blood off his lips, he jabbed his sword at Sheena. "Hyah, hah, hah! Lightning Blade! Grave!"
Meanwhile, Lloyd had taken the liberty of coming close enough to his enemy to hack him, literally, until he had built up enough energy to call a Unison Attack.
"Pyre Seal! Sonic Thrust! Meteor Storm! Tempest!"
"Guardian!" Kratos called. (A/N: I dunno if you can do that during U/A... O.O) A bright green light surrounded him and protected him from the barrage of attacks, only for the low, low cost of 30 TP. (A/N: I dont know if it IS 30 TP now...Hell, I barely use that attack...)
After the attempted attack, Kratos sprinted toward Sheena, and took the honor of slashing her unconcsious. Life bottles were prohibited.
"Oh no! Sheena!" Genis yelled during charge up. "Tidal Wave!" A blue whirlpool engulfed the whole field, swirling...swirling...
"Super Lightning Blade!" Zelos went face-down on the ground. Then Genis. All that was left was...
Kratos stood up, brushed off his purple outfit, and looked unmercilessly at the last figure standing.
"Now our true battle can begin, Lloyd...My son."
