Disclaimer: nothing here belongs to me! All characters belong to Lee Myung-jin of Gravity Corp. (Maybe the plot belongs to me?) dots -.-"…again…
A/N: Well, hi guys! its me! The newbie authoress again! This is a continuation of what happened in the last story! Oh well, the website said that I could only post stories three days after registering, so I had time to get over my block and continue with the story! Ah well, moving on…

"Loki, I…i think you must be feeling tired after such a long journey, we should retire for the night..." Fenris swallowed as she tried to pretend she heard nothing.
Golly…this simply will not do, wh…when did he ever like me at all? This must all be a mistake…that's right…purely a mistake…
Next Morning
"Morning Loki, I see you're up early. Here, have your breakfast, after which we should start moving. God knows how long more it will take before we finally find Iris and Chaos."
"…" …"Fenris, I'm sorry about las..",… "Loki…, you should hurry up. We REALLY ought to get going…"
Phew…I'm not going to let him start on it again…Just what on Midgard is going through his mind? I wish I knew why…
………
She's avoiding me now…, darn, I should not have expressed myself that way last night, but…I've never felt this way before…I HAD to say it…If only she would let me…
With that awkward silence between them, they traveled all morning until…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Goodness, it's getting really hot out here…Could we take a rest under that tree there, Loki?"
"Hm."
She could see that the assassin was feeling the heat too, why didn't he just tell her to take a rest? Was I too hurtful when I gave him that answer last night?... … Gosh! What was I thinking? Balder…I hope you're alright…I will always stand by you…come what may…
"Fenris."
Oh no! Not again! What now?...
"I think we may have reached Geffen, the city of magic."
"Oh! We have! That's great, since the wrecked sky-ship could not have flown that far… I think Iris and Chaos might have ventured into this city as well." Phew…it seems he has given up trying to talk about last night…
"Hmm…yes. They should have. Let's go."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Chaos! Will you be a GENTLEMAN here? My legs are killing me! Carry me! Puleeze? (Puppy eyes).
"Iris, pardon me but I have to say this…, ummm, are YOU a lady?" (Evil face) kekeke…
"CHAOS! Say that ONE more time and I'll kick your baboon arse all the way to Bruntoo!"
"Alright alright, hop on…", "Haha! Thanks! Let's go! We have to find Fenris and Loki!"
"Iris, you mean I go, not lets…" Chaos gave a resignated sign as he struggled through the crowds of Geffen with an extra load on his back now.
"Uhh..well, you're right for ONCE I guess!... C'mon! Giddy up! Numbskull!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Oh…Geffen is indeed bigger than I thought it would be. We'll have a hard time locating the two of them, Loki." Sighed Fenris as she stopped by a fountain to take a breather.
"Yes, it is a big city. We should find us some lodging first."
"You're right Loki, we could be here for several days. Let me ask for directions."
Said Fenris as she stood up after adjusting her laces, …only to see Loki staring into her eyes... "Loki,… is something wrong?"
The assassin seemed to snap back to life. "Nothing! I'll go with you."
"Hello? excuse me; do you know where we might find some appropriate lodging?" Fenris said as she stopped a passing mage.
"Oh! Travelers! First time in Geffen eh? Welcome! Head right down this street and you'll find a ni…."
"Chaos! Can we have a LITTLE sensitivity here please? How DARE u drop me just like that? You REALLY DO wanna piece of me don't you?"
Warlock looked towards assassin and assassin looked to warlock. For the first time, both knew what each other were thinking. Crazed cleric.
"Fenris! Lokiiii!" "Oh my goodinnesss!" Fenris tried really hard not to dodge as a flame-haired short girl kamikazied her way through the crowd to throw herself ontop of her. WHAM! …..(Well, I'm quite sure you don't want to know what happened…)
"Fenris! Hey there! Bonehead!" Another flame-haired rune knight ambled slowly towards them.
"Iris! There is no need for such dramatic reactions! Oh goodness, you really HAVE to let me go Iris…" Fenris sighed with desperation as the cleric buried herself into her. "Chaos, glad to see u and Iris are alright.."… Thank the Gods, Chaos…
"Fenris! Gee…, so YOU and LOKI fell off together? Hehehe…just what have you two been up too? Huh?" Iris grins evilly"… "What? Oh nothing…trust you to say that Iris!"… Gosh that girl does have one hell of a sixth sense…
Just then, Loki's gaze caught Fenris's… and a sort of awkwardness passed through them, Golly…its that nagging feeling again…thought Fenris as she blushed involuntarily, he really should stop looking at me, I guess I ought to distance myself from him…
"Oh! Come on! We really should find a place to stay already! It's getting dark people!" shouted Chaos as he tried to pry Iris off the suffocating warlock… "Got it! Numbskull! Stop groping meeee! Bleayuk!"… "On to the inn, yuk yuk yuk…"…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Fenris! Hurry up! Lets go SHOPPING! Its time for us to change out of these shabby…err..shabby COSTUMES! C'mon!" it seems there was no stopping Iris, whenever, wherever…
"Hold on Iris, there's not much zeny left for us to spend you know? We really ought to save some for rations. I don't see any problems with our…..costumes, as you put it..."
"Oh come ON Fenris! We gals HAVE got to look good! Even if there is no food! C'mon surely you don't want your princely oh-so-gorgeous Loki darling to look at you with disdain right? C'mon sista! Puleeze?" Puppy eyes…again".
"Iris! What's with you about Loki and me? Come on! I really do not care about how I look, Iris…my clothes are just fine!"…Sigh…if only you knew the truth Iris, if only…
"Alright that's the last straw! YOU are going shopping with ME! If you're not buying anything, I AM! Hmph…C'mon" With that, Iris started shoving Fenris out of their dormitory…"Whoaaa! Easy Iris!"….
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Author's note: I guess Fenris went with Iris not because she put on puppy eyes, the fact is, Iris does NOT look cute with puppy eyes, Fenris went with her to get RID of puppy eyes mode…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxXXXX
Whoaaa…
"Heh, it looks like Iris is up to no good again…pity Fenris though…haha.." said Chaos as he removed his armor.
"…"
"Hey you know what Loki? You sure ARE one quiet guy, aren't you? Wow, I can't take this no more man…I'll go get a drink or some grub, u want any?"
"…"
"Ah well…, whatever floats your boat then, iceman."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Fenris, I think….i think I've fallen in love with you…Loki thought about what he said the night before, all of a sudden, the elder's words floated into his mind…
Loki…, to be the greatest of all assassins you must bear this in mind…Love is a flaw…a fatal flaw…one that will be your undoing Loki, you cannot…and you WILL not ever fall in love…do you understand, child?...
"I….I cannot…an…and WILL not fall in love…."Loki muttered with agony as the painful reality hit him…hard. Fenris!...I…I'm sorry…
Loki then decided on one thing…, if he can NEVER love her, he will protect her, Always…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
