Chapter 3: Two kiss scenes in one chapter!

Raine knocked on the door to Kratos and Lloyd's room. She was hoping that they would have some extra towels for her and Genis to use. Raine heard the sound of running water. She knocked a little harder when the door creaked open. Well I might as well just let myself in. I'll be in and out before they even notice.

She stepped inside the room being careful to walk around the scattered clothes all over the floor. The sound of water stopped and at the same moment Raine stopped. "Now where did they put the extra towels…?" she asked aloud. The professor heard a door open behind her.

"Don't mind me," she said her back turned to the person in the door way. "I was just hoping you and Kratos would let me and Genis use some of your towels." Kratos walked into the room, scrubbing a towel in his hair attempting to dry it. Ranie began to stand up, "Hey, hey, hey…!" she heard Kratos voice. "…N-no need to turn around." He said as he tried to stop her.

Raine's face grew bright red. There Kratos stood before her, with just a towel around his waist and crimson colored cheeks. He grasped his hand tightly around the rim of his dark blue towel. Skin color returned to his face, "Um, you need towels you said?" he asked.

Raine regained her self. "Uh, yeah I guess they forgot to give me and Genis some towels in our room!" She laughed slightly. "This is kind of awkward isn't it?" Kratos asked her rather embarrassed at his current estate. "Yeah, it is…" she replied quietly, trying to shift her gaze off of Kratos.

It was tough though, because never in her life had she seen such a figure in a man. His red hair plastered to his face, his deep dark eyes staring deep into hers. His muscles seemed gigantic. Raine's eyes scanned his body stopping where Kratos' hand held his towel.

She blushed again and laughed. "Oh, the towels…!" Kratos exclaimed. He went back into the bathroom and rummaged through the cupboards below the sink finding a few towels for them. He came back into the room to find Raine sitting on his bed. She was waiting patiently for him to come back.

"Here Raine, you can have our extras." Kratos said handing two towels her. She stood up and took the towels from his hands. "Thank you…" she replied, her voice trailing off. Raine gasped, seeing a dark blood colored scar across Kratos's chest. She lightly brushed her hand across and watched as he pulled back and winced in pain.

"What happened?" she asked curiously. "I was injured in a fight." Raine nodded her head understanding his problems. She shook her head. "If you weren't so ignorant in battle, then maybe you wouldn't get hurt so severely!" Kratos rolled his eyes.

"Let me help you," Raine suggested, placing her hands on Kratos and moving him closer. His bare chest touched her clothes. He felt her silk clothes sweep across his bare skin. He closed his eyes at its touch. She reluctantly let go of him and pulled out a special gel from her bag. "Let me put it on!" Raine placed the cold wet gel from her hands across his scar. "I wish you would have told me earlier."

Raine smiled at him and shyly Kratos turned the other way and cleared his throat. "Thanks…" he replied to her smile. His eyes met hers with her hands resting gently on his chest, trying to make sure that she wouldn't hurt him. His arms roamed around finally placing them softly around her waist.

He pulled her closer to him. His gaze softened, as did hers. Their lips drew closer. KNOCK, KNOCK! Raine jumped back from him and scurried over the door. "Uh, who is it?" she asked as she opened the door. "Raine," Regal asked confusedly. "I thought this was Kratos's room?"

The door opened wider revealing Kratos in a towel. Regal's eyes expanded. "Did I interrupt something?" he asked, as he stared directly at Kratos in a towel. "No, it's not what it looks like!" He exclaimed defensively. "Really, it's not!" Raine added from her point of view.

"Thanks for the towels, but I think I'm gonna go now!" Raine said, scampering out of the room. "So," Regal began with a sly look in his eyes. "I came to talk to you about…" he paused suddenly and squinted as though he were thinking about what to say next. "…about our training." He finished.

Kratos looked at him in disbelief. He knew something was up, but he just didn't know what it was. He strutted over to his clothes and took them into the bathroom, still talking through the door to Regal. "I know that's why you're not here." Kratos replied shouting through the door. Regal laughed, "I heard you and some woman when I was walking by your room."

"So, what's the real deal between you and Raine?" He asked revealing the fact that he was being nosey. Kratos pulled on a pair of pants and nearly fell on his butt trying to respond. "N-nothing why?" he grunted out. He walked out of the bathroom and over to his shirt on the floor.

"Oh, come on," Regal complained. "Oh come on what?" Kratos asked with a small smirk tugging at his lips. "You and Raine were alone in your room! Something must have happened!" Kratos narrowed his eyes. "Nothing happened!" he said defensively. Suddenly another knock was heard at the door.

Regal and Kratos jumped at the loud noise. This time Regal decided to answer the door. Raine appeared in the doorway. "I'm sorry to bother you guys again, but I left my bag with our supplies in here." Regal nodded his head respectfully. "Don't worry I was on my way out anyways." He stopped in the door way and winked at Kratos.

The door shut behind Regal. Kratos walked over to her little bag and handed it to her. "Listen, about a little while ago…" he began. "It must have been uncomfortable for you. I'm sorry." He apologized to her. "It's okay, I'm just sorry that we didn't finish our talk." She looked down at the floor

"Don't be sorry..." He smiled seductively to her. Suddenly a stir came over him. He cupped Raine's chin in his hand making her look into his eyes. Their eyes met, his gaze softened. Again their lips moved in closer. The gap between them separating, Raine closed her eyes, Kratos closed his eyes.

I'm about to kiss a traveling mercenary and Lloyd's-! Abruptly their lips convened with Raine forgetting all about it. Her soft tender lips gently pressing against his. Kratos pulled her closer to him and wrapped his hands around her waist. Raine's hands wandered up and held his neck. KNOCK KNOCK!
