Ok next chapter, hope you enjoy it. Keep the reviews coming. Oh and apologies for all you who don't like perverted Zelos, it's just that the only way I think he'd join Cruxis was if he was obsessed with Sheena.
Lloyd woke up with the back of his head hurting. He wasn't exactly sure what had happened that made him fall out cold, but it had hurt. Then he had a thought; Cruxis! But after looking around his surroundings, he could tell if it was Cruxis, he would not be lying in a soft, king-size bed, in a very large room.
He sat up and looked around for a better look. It was larger than he originally thought it was. As well as the king-size bed, there was a large table, including six chairs surrounding it, a large TV attached to the wall, a large desk with a mirror on it, and a large balcony.
Looking at the balcony, he saw a very beautiful woman leaning against the bar, facing out to the city view. She had her black hair down now, and it was blowing with the wind. He noticed all her beautiful curves even more in the light of the setting sun.
'The sun's setting? Man how long was I out for?' he thought to himself. He got up and started walking towards the balcony, legs wobbling from not moving for hours.
"Sheena?" he asked.
"Lloyd!" she yelled and flung her arms around, "I was wondering when you were going to wake up."
"Yeah. What exactly happened anyway?"
"Some idiotic pervert who's been after me for ages saw us sparing, and thought he would really impress me if he saved me from you."
"That explains why my heads pounding. How'd I get here anyhow?"
"I carried you up to my room and laid you on the bed." She replied blushing slightly.
"Thanks Sheena."
"Your very welcome, now how about that reward for beating me..." she moved towards Lloyd's head and was about to kiss him, when a loud grumble stopped her in her tracks. "Looks like we have to feed you first though huh?"
Lloyd chuckled apologetically, "Yeah sorry, haven't eaten for a while."
"Well in that case just wait here while I get something arranged for us." And with that she left the room.
Lloyd looked out of the balcony at the beautiful view of the city. The setting sun intensified its extravagant beauty. Caught by this, he did not notice Sheena's return.
Having noticed this, she had a thought and put an evil grin crossed her face. She crept up behind him so he wouldn't hear her and covered his eyes with her hands. "Guess who?" she said playfully.
Normally, Lloyd would have chucked who ever it was over the balcony, but he knew it was Sheena just by the touch of her soft, delicate hands.
"Ha ha, very funny Sheena." He said, "Can you please..." but before he could finish, Sheena had turned him around, still covering his eyes, and kissed him passionately.
After a while, she finally removed her hands so she could wrap them round his neck o pulled him into a deeper kiss. They carried on like this for quite a while, and only stopped when the door opened.
They pulled apart from each other abruptly to stare at the newcomers. There were a number of people entering the room, all in Mizuho robes, and all carrying trays of food. They placed the dishes on the large circle and left the room without a word.
"Oh by the way," started Sheena, "we are having Ramen and Sushi." This made Lloyd reminisce of his lunch with Sheena, and his futile attempts of using chopsticks.
"Oh great," he said, "the chopsticks again."
Sheena giggled, "Don't worry, I personally requested knives and forks."
Lloyd blushed, "T-Thanks, but you didn't have to do that."
"Don't worry, now come on lets eat!"
They both sat down opposite each other, and before Sheena could even think about setting out the food, Lloyd had grabbed all the dishes and set them out perfectly. As Lloyd brought her cup to him to pour her some tea, Sheena said, "Lloyd that was perfect! You remembered everything I taught you."
"Of course I did," he replied, "you didn't think I'd forget anything you taught me did you? If it wasn't for you, I'd be on the streets looking for a job. I'm really grateful."
"No problem Lloyd," she started to blush slightly, "Besides, I should be thanking you."
"Huh? Why?"
"You where the first person to show me true friendship, true love. Not just in Iselia, but everywhere I've been to. Everyone's always only cared for my authority or my body. That's why." And she leaned over the table and kissed him.
"He he, thanks Sheena." And they started eating. It was a lot easier for Lloyd to eat with knives and forks.
When they had finished, the same people who brought the food came back in, as if knowing when they had finished, and cleaned the table of it's trays.
"Oh and by the way," started one of the servants, "the both of you have been invited to a dance tonight." And he placed a letter in the centre of the table. He left without another word.
"Huh, by who?" asked Sheena.
"And why am I invited?" inputted Lloyd.
Sheena opened the letter and read;
Dear Princess Sheena and her boyfriend,
You are both invited to a ball being held in two days time in the palace of Meltokio. This is a way of apologising for my assault on you, whatever your name is, and because we will be having a pair of representatives from each city in the world, plus all the nobles of Meltokio, and I convinced the king to invite you two. I must remind you that there are no weapons allowed under any circumstances. We will also be providing you with a room, as the party lasts all night.
From, Zelos Wilder, son of Duke Wilder of Meltokio.
"Well that was really nice of him," stated Lloyd, but at the look of Sheena's face he asked, "What's up?"
"Hmmm. I've never known him to be the apologising sort, he's always considered himself right, even when it's obvious he's wrong." She replied, "But I don't know, maybe he told his father why he was put in jail and he forced him to do it."
"Well what ever the reason it's still a nice gesture."
"So...you interested?" Sheena asked, blushing slightly.
"Ummm, well I don't actually have any formal clothes, I've only worn these for ages."
"Well that's no problem, we've got tomorrow to go and find some in town."
"But I haven't got any money, I should've got paid at the end of the week, but I obviously can't return their now."
"Hey if you don't want to go it's fine."
"Oh no I want to go really, it's just I can't go in this and I can't afford new clothes so..."
"Oh don't worry I'll pay for you, it's the least I can do for what you've done for me."
"Thanks a lot Sheena, I'm really looking forward to this."
Sheena yawned, "Yeah me too, but first let's get some sleep."
Lloyd yawned too, "Yeah, you're right. So where's my room?"
"Uh...well," she blushed, "I didn't ask for a room for you."
"So where..." he then caught on, "O-Oh, are you sure?"
She nodded, "Yeah sure, it's not the first time is it?"
"Ok, I'll just get changed in the...wait, all I have is this."
Sheena giggled, "Don't worry Lloyd, I asked for some clothes for you, look." She pointed to the bed.
Sure enough, there on the bed lay blue, Mizuho styled robes, similar to what he wore in Iselia. He picked them up and said, "Thanks Sheena, I'll just change in the bathroom." He enetered the bathroom and started to change, trying not to think about Sheena getting change.
A couple minutes later, Lloyd was dressed and yelled through the door, "Sheena? Are you ready for me to come in?"
"Yeah come on in." She yelled back, and he returned to the main room.
Sheena was wearing a very beautiful purple nightgown, which didn't cover her arms, but ended between her knee and ankle. He also noticed that it was made of a thin, translucent material, so he could see her underwear.
"Sheena you look gorgeous!" he exclaimed without thinking, then realising what he said, blushed furiously, "Oh sorry, I didn't..."
But Sheena giggled appreciably saying, "It's ok Lloyd, you're not looking too bad yourself."
"He he, thanks."
Sheena then started to blush, "So, you ready for bed?"
"Uh, yeah sure."
They both moved towards the bed an slowly entered together. Lloyd was gonna just let her sleep, but Sheena had got on top of him and laid her head on his chest.
Embracing him in her arms she muttered sleepily, "Night Lloyd."
"Sweet dreams Sheena." He replied, as he wrapped his arms around her. They both fell asleep quite quickly.
That's it for now, hope you liked it. Please review.
By the way, I'm planning to do another story in celebration of the summer holidays, where something interesting happens to Lloyd and Sheena when they're diving, in Altamira. Tell me if you're interested.
