Really sorry it took so long, I had to study for exams, oh well now updates will be a lot faster

Taishoku Yuri: I take it you like it?

Kali09: yeah, she is. But then it messes up my whole plot. There's a reason why she's so annoying…I just haven't figured it out yet…

Midnight Eclipse713: She gets even more obnoxious in this one…teehee.

Suzu Fujibayashi: hmm, Seles is always thinking of ways to make Sheena's life miserable…whether she succeeds or not is a mystery.

Origins89: thanks! I was actually stuck on naming it for a while.

Luray123456789: reasons don't matter as long as you liked it!

MoonCannon: that I wouldn't mind…99, huh? well, mush will come, eventually…

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the hair on my head...or so I think…

life's like that

Sheena's POV

Oh, that awful little girl! I can't believe she hasn't been thought any manners at the abbey! Not only that, she got me, me thrown out of the restaurant for raising my voice.

"Grrrrrr…" I growled and crumpled up random papers lying on my desk.

Some had handwriting on them but I couldn't care less at the moment, I continued to rip them to shreds.

"I hate her-" a knock on the door made me stop and turn around, "What!"

The door opened slightly and in stepped Zelos, looking slightly worried, "I just came to see what you were up to…but if it's not a good time I can come back later…"

I sighed and sat on the edge of the bed, "No, it's okay."

Zelos came and sat down beside me, putting an arm around my shoulders, "You still upset about earlier?"

I nodded, "That was…embarrassing…"

He chuckled and placed a light kiss on my forehead, "Don't worry about it. It actually happens all the time there."

I looked up with slight hope, "It does?"

"Yeah, now come on we need to have dinner." Zelos paused at the door, "By the way, have you seen the letter I was supposed to deliver to the King today?"

I frowned in thought, "Um, I don't think so."

"Alright, if you do can you let me know?"

"Sure." When the door clicked shut I starred guiltily at the ripped shreds of paper lying on the floor, "Oh dear Martel..."

"Haha! Sheena's in trouble!" Seles jumped into the room from the bathroom and started bouncing up and down on the bed, "And when Zelos finds out, he won't be happy!"

I glared daggers at her, "You'd better keep your mouth shut little girl. It's not like I did it on purpose."

"Heh! Yeah right!" Seles jumped of the bed and landed in front of me, "Besides, who's he going to believe? I am his sister after all."

"Half sister!" I clenched my fists in anger; this would turn into a fighting match pretty soon.

"So what! At least I'm family!" with that Seles bounded out the door, "I'm telling Zelos what you did!"

"Oh no you don't!" I ran after her, almost tripping on the stairs, "Come back here!"

"Never!"

At one point I had grabbed onto her arm, but she bit me and I screamed. I managed to thwack her on the head but before she rolled down the stairs, she caught onto my pink sash and we both ended up tumbling down.

In a slit second I saw the image of Zelos exit the kitchen, then I heard him speak, "Hey, what's going on--Ack!"

We had crashed straight into him; at least there was something to break our fall.

Zelos got up dizzily and helped me up as well, "What happened here?"

"Sheenatoreyourletteronpurpose!" Seles let it all out in one breath.

Fortunately, Zelos was too confused to understand, "What?"

"She." Seles began by pointing an accusing finger at me, "Tore up the letter you need to give to the King-on purpose."

Unfortunately, Zelos heard this time.

Zelos turned in my direction, "Is…this true?"

Seles was nodding her head of and I was busy shaking with anger and worry, "I-I um, well…not on purpose!"

"Yeah huh!" Seles squeezed between me and Zelos, "I saw her myself…she was…she was…like some crazy beast!"

"Who you calling a beast!" I snarled looking down on her.

She waved her hand as if it was nothing, "Isn't it obvious? Who else am I pointing at?"

I hated her guts, but I had to deal with Zelos first, "Listen Zelos, I'm really sorry…I didn't mean it, but, um, is it possible to write up another letter?...I'll even do it for you…"

Zelos rubbed his forehead, "Not exactly, that was from the church of Martel in Flanoir."

"O-oh…I'm really sorry…"

I wanted to say more but Seles interrupted me, "No she's not!"

"Seles…" Zelos looked at her for a moment then went inside, "Come on, I made dinner."

"Now what'd I do!" Seles stomped angrily into the kitchen.

I was still a bit worried as I took a seat beside Zelos, and staring at my food didn't help.

"Food doesn't eat itself you know."

I looked up to see Seles piercing blue eyes glaring back at me, "Just concentrate on your own food little girl."

"I'm not little!" She fought back.

I was growing tired of this, everything I said she turned into a battle, "You're littler than I am."

"Well I can't help it that you're so old." She stated matter-of-factly.

A nerve in my temple twitched but I said nothing. The silence from Zelos was making my stomach churn.

"This is really good Zelos." I managed to say at last, "You're really good at cooking."

Before Zelos had a chance to answer Seles interrupted him, "Oh save it, he doesn't buy that mumbo jumbo."

"Ah…what?" I blinked; Seles has some way of talking.

She sighed as if I was some huge burden, "Sheena…never mind."

"Thanks anyways Sheena." Zelos gave me a small smile and cleaned the dishes, "I'm sure the King will understand."

I smiled back but the minute he turned around I gave Seles a cold stare.

"What?" She shrugged and jumped of the chair and out the room.

I blew away my bangs and walked over to Zelos, "I'll try to fix it."

He turned around and kissed me on the nose, "Forget it, it doesn't really matter anyways."

I groaned inwardly, now I felt like I really needed to do something. I quietly pushed open the door and crept outside, I didn't want that little brat to know what I was up to. For sure she'd find some way to ruin it.

My wish was granted, Seles was fast asleep curled up on one corner of the sofa. I had to admit, she looked so cute like that. Her red hair fully covered her face as she cuddled a small pillow. I shook myself of that thought…that girl's a devil in disguise.

I walked up the stairs and opened the door to my room and quickly shut it behind me. Now to put together the puzzle. I started by finding all the pieces with writing and pieces of the same background color and putting them into separate piles. From there, I began to work on my masterpiece.

---------------------------

Hours later I was almost finished…I held up the taped-together letter, there was a piece missing…right in the middle.

"Great…" I moaned and moved to lie on the plush carpet.

My fingers ached and my eyes stung from focusing on one thing for so long. Yet I pushed myself up and stretched. I made this mess so I had to finish it. I just have to find that paper.

Half way through my search Zelos came in and casually leaned against the door frame, "Looking for something?"

I shook my head, I didn't want to reveal my surprise just yet, "Nope, nothing."

"Oh alright." Zelos beamed and held up a crisp white evelope, "You should be relieved after you here this."

I sat up straight, "What is it?"

He smiled and pulled out a neat piece of paper, "I found the letter."

Well, I'm done. the actual plot of the story will begin in the next chapter. That's when the whole proposal thing takes place…ok, not yet completely, but….oh you'll just have to wait and see!

be a dear and review!
