Ok so on with the story!
It had been several days since they're time at the isle of decision and neither Lloyd or Sheena could forget about. Or Zelos for that matter. Lloyd had other things praying on his mind aswell. The next morning he would have to fight his father to release Origins seal, possibly even kill him. He was to confused to focus on anything and just as he felt he was going to go insane he heard a knock at his door.
He sighed "What is it?"
As he sat up on his bed Sheena entered the room "Umm, heh...are you still up?"
He smiled at her "...I couldn't really get to sleep."
"Well, in that case, want some company for a little while?"
" ...Okay then, just for a little while."
The 2 started to make their way out from the inn. In silence at first just happy to be in each others company until Sheena finally spoke up
"So...aren't you nervous?"
"Huh?" he said from surprise
"About tomorrow. The battle with Kratos."
"Yeah...a little."
"Right? Of course you'd be. Doesn't...it bother you."
"What? Fighting with Kratos?" he replied, just as confused as before
"Yeah. I mean...he's your father, right? Isn't it kind of difficult to face him?" she said as the two sat down on a bench overlooking a small river that ran through Heimdal
Lloyd sighed "The fact that he's my father still hasn't sunk in. When I stop and think about it, it does seem like he helped me out a lot along the way. But he also betrayed us and put us through hell. So accepting the fact that he's my father is harder to deal with than the fact that I have to fight him."
"I see...but I'm still a little envious."
"Why?" he asked as confused as ever
"Well, you know I was abandoned as a child. So I don't have a clue who my parents are."
"...Ah." he said remembered the talk they had on the isle of decision.
"I thought about what it would be like if I was in your place. If my parents was my enemy, and yet still came to my aid...I think I'd just be all confused."
Lloyd laughed "I'm confused too. Even now."
"Hehehe. ...Well, so when I imaged about fighting my own father tomorrow, I got really frightened."
"You did? Haha, you dork. You don't have to put yourself in my shoes that much, you know?"
"I know! But either way, it nearly drove me crazy...I couldn't take it. Anyway...that's how I felt, so I thought maybe you're feeling the same away."
"Heh. Thanks, Sheena." he said with a smile.
Sheena suddenly felt a blush begin "Ah...nah, it's...a...um...say, what are you planning to do after this?" she said changing subject
"After this?"
"When the worlds are reunited, our journey will be over, right? So, what then?"
Lloyd thought on this for a moment "Well, I think I want to go on a journey to collect all the Exspheres."
"Oh...that's a good idea. Could I...come along with you?" she said feeling her blush get bigger
"Huh? You don't have to go back to Mizuho?"
Sheena suddenly had an urge to tell him how she felt about him. She swallowed her pride and spoke up " ...I...want to be with you."
Now it was Lloyd's turn to blush. He tried not to show it, but he was ecstatic that she felt that way " ...S...sure. I want to be with you too."
" R...really!" She said jumping up in excitement "Then it's settled. Okay? You can't change your mind now! We're going together on a journey to collect all the Exspheres in the world."
Lloyd joined in on her enthusiasm and jumped up with her "Yeah. That way, no more people will fall victim to the Exspheres, and these things will never be dragged into a conflict like this again."
" It's a promise. If you don't keep it, I'm going to invoke the Mizuho tradition of making a liar swallow a thousand needles."
"Whoa...okay, okay. I promise." he said with a laugh "Thanks Sheena"
It was Sheena's turn to be confused now "Huh? What did I do?"
"You have a real talent for cheering me up" he said with his usual smiled
She blushed again "I-It's ok Lloyd. You usually cheer me up, I guess I just owe you"
He laughed again as the two sat and watched the stars glisten in the pure waters that surrounded them.
"I used to love watching the stars" Lloyd said staring upwards trying to remember the name of a constellation that Raine must have told him a million times
"Yeah? What changed?"
"I know who's up there. Planning to destroy us all" he said with a sigh
"Yeah I guess, but that's not something to be worried about"
"Huh? Why not?"
"Every time we faced Mithos or any of his cronies, we've always found a way to survive and come back stronger. Especially you, Lloyd."
He blushed and smiled. "Thanks" he looked down at the exsphere on his hand "But that is all down to my mom."
"What do you think she'd say about tomorrow?"
He looked down at the exsphere that claimed his mothers life "I'll find out tomorrow. When I fight Kratos"
"Do you miss her?" she asked thinking of her own parents
"Most everyday, but she's with me. In my exsphere and in my heart." he laughed a little "Even if it does sound corny"
She joined him in laughing.
"What about you?"
She sighed "You can't really miss what you never had"
Lloyd looked at her and saw tears form in her eyes. He quickly put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to him. She smiled and rested her head against his shoulder. They sat there for a while content in their current position, but it wasn't long until Sheena and Lloyd realized what they were doing
"W-we should go back to the inn now" Sheena said standing up trying not to look at Lloyd's
"Y-yeah we should get some sleep...We'll need to rest for tomorrow" he said as he began to blush before the 2 made their way back to their respective rooms
"G-goodnight Lloyd" Sheena said as she looked over to him
"Y-yeah goodnight Sheena" he said as he got into his room,
'What was that?' he thought as he felt his heart race again.
The next day came all too quickly. He hadn't really slept at all and it wasn't because of his impending battle with his father. He spent most of his time thinking about Sheena and his growing feelings for her. Lloyd had always liked Sheena, but he never thought it would be for more than just friends. He looked down at his exsphere and sighed
"Why can't I stop thinking about her mom?" he asked before he heard a knock at the door "Come on in"
Zelos put his hair around the corner of the door and grinned widely "Hey super stud you ready?"
Lloyd sighed and got up from his bed
"Yeah I guess"
"What's up bud? You seem down. Is it 'coz of your dad?" he asked, seeming more concerned than usual.
"To be honest I haven't really thought about it." he said thinking about Sheena once more "Hey Zelos can I talk to you?"
"Yeah sure bud. What's the problem? Sheena?" he said sitting by him
Lloyd blushed "Er, well...yeah"
"HAHA! I knew it I was so right!"he said jumping off the bed
"Ok ssh, she'll hear you!" Lloyd said jumping up next to him
"It's kinda cute. Is she your first love?"
"This was a bad idea, just don't tell her ok Zelos?"
Zelos grinned "Fine the great Zelos the Chosen wont utter a word of your crush This just means that you owe me a favor now"
"Ugh I should have talked to Regal" he said as he left to go outside where the others had gathered.
As the two swordsmen left the inn Lloyd saw Sheena and immediately blushed. Until Zelos grabbed his shoulders and started massaging him.
"Come on bud time to get ready. You need a good warm up if your going to fight"
"Get off Zelos." he said shrugging his shoulders
"Fine, but when you get hurt don't come crying to me...ah Raine my most glamorous beauty how are you today?" he said making his way over to the others
"Zelos..." Raine said shaking her head and walking away with the others. Except for Sheena who waited for Lloyd.
"How you feeling today?" she asked
"Good, yeah." he said trying to avoid her gaze
"Are you ok Lloyd?" she said before sighing "Has that stupid chosen been messing with you again?"
"Huh? Oh...no. I guess I'm starting to feel nervous now"
"Well don't be I'll be there to back you up. L-like you were there for me against Volt" she said with a slight blush
Lloyd chuckled "Thanks Sheena. Come on we better catch up with the rest of them."
She smiled as they both headed towards the elven forest.
The journey was somewhat quite, most people thinking of the impending battle, but that was before Zelos saw a small furry animal run passed them
"Woah what was that thing?" he cried as the thing jumped into a tree trunk
"That was so cute!" Collete said rushing over to the stump the animal was hiding "Hey little fella. Do you wanna come out?" she said sweetly, but it wouldn't move.
"I have an idea how to get it out" Zelos said as he walked up behind her
"Really? Wow!" Collete said as she stepped back.
Zelos put on the sorcerers ring and sent a ball of fire into the tree trunk. Suddenly the creature jumped out of the trunk and squealed before jumping at Zelos and scratching his face. It jumped over his head and ran away from the group
"Hey come back" Collete shouted chasing after the creature
"MY FACE! MY BEAUTIFUL FACE!" Zelos screamed putting his hands to his face
Sheena laughed "It's an improvement if you ask me"
"Yes Zelos. It was not kind of you to hurt the creature" Presea stated
"You are so insensitive sometimes" Raine said
"It was cruel to use so much force on that little thing" Regal stated
"We better follow Collete before we lose her" Lloyd said as the others began to chase her
"...but my face" Zelos said before sighing "You guys can be really harsh sometimes" Zelos said with a sob before following them again.
They soon managed to catch Collete who had inadvertently led them all to where Kratos was waiting.
"Hmm I see you have come" Kratos said as the group approached him
"Is there really no other way for us to do this?" Lloyd asked
"You wish to release Origins seal don't you? Then we must fight"
"Fine. Let us finish this"
Sheena, Genis and Presea began making their way forward until Lloyd held his hand outside
"No I have to do this alone" he said stepping forward alone
"Do you think you can take me on by yourself?"
Sheena laughed at Kratos "You'd better prepare yourself! Lloyd possesses more strength than you imagine. He's not the same Lloyd you know back when you were with us. But you already know that, don't you? You see his potential."
Lloyd blushed a little and smiled before drawing his blades
'Thank you Sheena' he thought before dashing towards his father
After battle with Origin---
"Impressive. Perhaps I can believe in humans one last time and lend my power to you. Lloyd. Sheena. My power is yours. Please don't break your promise"
"We wont Origin" the 2 said in unison.
They smiled at each other until Genis gasped as Mithos exsphere he was carrying suddenly reacted and flew toward Lloyd. Sheena suddenly saw it and pushed Lloyd out of the way hitting her instead.
"...Ugh you got in the way. Fine this body will have to do" Sheena/Mithos said as she suddenly disappeared
"Sheena! SHEENA!" Lloyd shouted as he looked for her.
I had to add Zelos being ripped on in this piece, it just seemed like a good idea. Well I guess you all know what happens next.
Hope your enjoying, please R/R
