Ok, here's chapter 10, thanks for all your reviews.
They finally landed in the middle of the desert, which Sheena just assumed was the Triet desert; she was too worried about Lloyd to worry about simple things.
Lucrus picked up Lloyd, in a cradle like fashion, which meant Sheena couldn't keep care of him, which slightly agitated her; she didn't ever want to let go of him after what happened earlier.
"Who goes there?" asked the guards man behind the metal door in a sand dune, after he heard a noise outside. "Oh it's you again, and who are those two?" he asked eyeing Lloyd and Sheena, she couldn't help noticing he spent most of his time eyeing her body.
"My companions, as you can see this one needs help, he was attacked by someone working for Cruxis." Replied Lucrus.
"Very well." He opened the door. Upon seeing the guard's appearance Sheena yelled out.
"CRUXIS!" she was dumbfounded, "I thought you were against them? Why did you lie to us? Why...?"
"Sheena, these are the Renegades." He interrupted, "They are an organisation against Cruxis, and before you ask, they have their own reason for looking like Cruxis members."
"Oh...right...sorry." She apologised, "I guess I'm just a bit jumpy, what with what's happening an all."
"It's perfectly understandable Sheena."
"Are you actually gonna enter or are you just going to talk all day?" asked the now irritated guard.
They entered. The guard was now freely viewing Sheena's figure, noticing this, she decided to take action. SMACK!
"If you look at me again, I'll aim the next one where you will most definitely like to maintain." She threatened, making Lucrus chuckle, and the guard in immense pain.
"So you've got him?" asked a voice from down the corridor. They turned to see a man with blue hair, dressed in a strange type of armour, with a cape. "And why is the princess of Mizuho here?"
"Well hello to you too Yuan." Replied, Lucrus, "Yes this is Lloyd, and Sheena's a very close friend of his."
"How do you know I'm the princess?" asked Sheena shocked.
"We have our resources." He replied simply, "But I must ask you to not to hit my guards."
"Tell them to not look at me then," she said hot tempered, raising a fist, "if they do I'll give them what they deserve."
"Heh, I heard the princess of Mizuho was hot headed, but I must admit I did not believe she was this bad."
"WHAT!"
"If you don't mind?" Lucrus interrupted, ending the impending argument. "Lloyd needs medical attention."
"Right, if you'll follow me."
10 minutes later, Lloyd was lying in a bed, in a private room, with a renegade doctor and Sheena watching over him. Lucrus had gone to talk with Yuan privately.
"I've healed his wounds as much as I could, and he's bandaged up." The doctor told Sheena as he got up to leave, "Just let him rest for a while."
"Ok, thank you." She answered gratefully. He left. She started stoking his hair with her right hand, and grasped his hand with the other. "Lloyd I'm so glad you're safe." She whispered, "I'd never forgive myself if they took you." She kissed his forehead.
Just then the door opened and Lucrus entered looking grim. "How is he?" he asked, with little concern in his voice.
"The doctor said he healed as much he could, and all he needs now is rest." She replied, close to tears. She then noticed his face expression. "What's wrong?"
"It might be hard for us to get out of here. Yuan seems to have taken too much interest in Lloyd and I."
"So you've found the second Angelus Project subject." Yuan stated. They were in a fairly small room, sitting on a circular table, along with Botta.
"How did you know of the project?" Lucrus asked shocked.
"I'm a high ranking member of Cruxis, as well as the leader of the Renegades, I should know of the most important project of both my enemy and to my leader."
"What!"
"Don't worry, his loyalty lies with the Renegades." Inputted Botta.
"How can I be sure? Why can I trust the one who works for my enemy?"
"You will just have to." Answered Yuan simply, "But for now we have questions for you, and rest assure you will not leave this base till you have answered them.
"And what are these questions?"
"Lets leave them for later, I would like you to attend dinner with me and bring the princess along too" it was not an offer, but an order. "Lloyd is welcome to come too, but I think he's still too injured hahaha." He laughed menacingly.
Lucrus felt like attacking at this insult, but knew better.
"Fine me and Sheena will attend."
"WHAT!" yelled Sheena, "There's no way I'm attending dinner with that creep."
"I feel that we have no choice, they have us at their mercy you know."
"I don't care! I'm not leaving Lloyd alone in a place like this!"
"I know how you feel but if either of us don't go they may hurt him."
This was the only thing that changed her mind, "O-Ok."
"Then lets go." And they left.
5 minutes later, Sheena and Lucrus were sitting on the same circular table along with Yuan and Botta. The table was filled with different foods, including some of Mizuho's specialities.
"Well I hope you all enjoyed yourselves?" asked Yuan after a very quiet meal.
They both remained silent, even though the food was delicious, they had certainly NOT enjoyed themselves, they were both worrying about Lloyd.
"I believe you have some questions for me." Replied Lucrus.
"Yes, the first, why did you not get Botta here to obtain the data on the Angelus Project, when you helped him to infiltrate the Cruxis stronghold?"
"Simply, to protect Lloyd, I didn't him to get hooked up in all of this."
"Well you seem to have failed in that task." Chuckled Botta.
"Anything else?"
"Only one; why does Cruxis want you? Why will they do anything to get their hands on you?"
This really shocked Lucrus. "You mean you don't know? But you're a high ranking member surely you were told?"
"For security reasons, only a few members were told. I was only told the name not the name of the project not the aim. Now tell me."
"Now why should I tell you, so you can use us to your advantage? I don't think so."
Yuan just laughed, "Yes I thought you might say that, that's why I took precautions." He snapped his fingers.
Two guards entered the room, carrying between them...
"LLOYD!" yelled Sheena in shock.
"Mwahahaha! Did you really think I'd let you not tell me?" Yuan laughed evilly, "Why do you think I wanted both of you here? So no-one stopped me taking him."
"LET HIM GO NOW!" Sheena exclaimed, eyes full of tears.
"Of course, that is, as soon as Lucrus here gives us the full story."
"Fine." Said Lucrus, forcing himself not to lunge at Yuan. He began the story and told him everything, from the origins of the project, to the creation of project 3. "Then Lloyd's power kicked in, and his attack killed him. However his wounds were bad, so we brought him here, to where I thought was safe."
"Heh so that's it huh?" asked Yuan.
"Sir you know what we can do now we know?" answered Botta.
"Yes, using these warriors we could easily finish Cruxis." He turned to the two holding Lloyd, "Take him back to his room, for now. As for you two, you can wait with him."
"Wait! Let Sheena go, she has nothing to do with this." Came the hoarse voice of Lloyd.
"Lloyd?" asked Sheena.
"Heh, so you're awake, well I'm sorry but now she knows our location, she has to stay here." Replied Yuan coldly.
"NO!" was all Lloyd could muster, before falling out cold again.
Yuan snapped his fingers again, and a dozen more guards showed up, "Take them back to their room."
For Lloyd's sake, both Sheena and Lucrus went back to their room silently.
And there you go, hope you liked it. I'm gonna try to put more Sheloyd in the next chapter, hopefully. Please review, I enjoy reading them.
