I Love You Is Just So Hard to Say chapter 3
Okay, while I'm writing this, I would just like to point out that my friend and I watched FF7 Advent Children together today and found the most awesome thing! Anyone who plays final fantasy knows the ongoing joke about Cloud's incredibly large… sword. And you also know the eternal question… where does he keep it? Countless times in the game, the buster sword would appear from literally thin air leaving one to wonder. Anyway, if you get the opportunity, you should so check out the fight scene between Cloud and Kadaj at the end. Cloud's sword gets knocked out of his hand during the fight… but never fear! He has spares…. Which he pulls right from the space between his legs! I'm not even kidding! First, there was no sword… then poof! And he seriously pulled it out from nowhere right between his legs! I swear to God! It was absolutely hysterical. So if you play final fantasy you should see this. Movies are so great to make fun of!
Right, well, now that you have that interesting piece of information, let's get on with the story!
For this chapter, I really wanted to put in some crazy ooc stuff, but I refrained. While it would have been funny, I'm really trying to keep the characters somewhat in tact. Although, I think they may have turned out a little ooc anyway. Let me know in your reviews. And I hope you enjoy.

KOS-MOS wandered down the streets of the Kukai foundation, paying no heed to the countless stares that followed her every move. She stepped out in front of the Iron Man and looked around for a moment before pulling out her r cannon. Locals scrambled out of the way frantically not even bothering to question how the seemingly eighteen year old girl's arm had just transformed into a weapon of mass destruction.
"Allen!" scolded Shion from inside the structure. "Talk or eat! Pick one!"
Allen gave her a small stare and was about to argue back when the wall next to them began to glow blue.
"What the he-" BOOM! A giant hole appeared in the side of the wall, spattering Allen in dust and debris and revealing KOS-MOS standing there, cannon arm outstretched. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. All eyes were on her. She stepped calmly inside.
"NOO!" yelled Allen (mouth still full of food), jumping protectively in front of Shion. He knew what was going on. KOS-MOS had gone berserk again.
"Do not worry. I am not malfunctioning as you appear to suspect."
"Not malfu-?" began Shion. "KOS-MOS! You just blew up a wall!"
"I determined at that time that it would be the fastest way to reach you as you were directly behind the wall." Her gaze wandered to Allen, who was standing there in complete shock. "There is a matter which requires your urgent attention."
"Nooo!" moaned Allen. "Not on our day off!"
"Be quiet, Allen!" ordered Shion. "What seems to be the problem KOS-MOS?" KOS-MOS' eyes traveled back to Shion. Allen sighed. He hadn't had a day off in almost a year. And just when he finally got one… He sulked quietly in the corner.
"I believe chaos may be disloyal to you."
"WHAT!" both vector scientists yelled simultaneously.
"I am receiving an abnormal…" she paused, as if confirming a word in her database. "Feeling from him."
"A… feeling?"
"Affirmative."
"KOS-MOS, I don't think chaos would ever do anything to hurt us," said Shion. "Are you sure your sensors aren't just malfunctioning?"
"That is possible."
"Well, what are your symptoms?"
"I appear to have an increased heart rate during his presence and I become unable to articulate well."
"Do you think it's possible chaos could be carrying some type of virus?" inquired Allen. Shion shook her head in disbelief at his stupidity.
"Really, Allen. KOS-MOS, I'll run some tests, but I think that it's just your personal reaction to chaos."
"Please explain."
"KOS-MOS, I think that you're beginning to evolve a little."
"…"
"Do you feel this way around anyone else?"
"Negative."
"I see. Well, after the tests, we should be able to figure out exactly what it is that's causing this particular reaction."
"My database does not have sufficient information to process the situation clearly."
"No, I don't suppose it would. KOS-MOS, I think that maybe you've developed feelings for chaos. If Shion didn't know any better, she'd have sworn KOS-MOS eyes widened a little in shock.
"That is not possible."
Allen let out a small yelp as Shion piled more A.G.W.S scrap onto his already overloaded back. She ignored it.
"Take that to the hangar okay?"
"………………okay."
He trudged forward, without any help at all toward the hangar which just happened to be on the opposite side of the Durandal.
Canaan pulled a strand of orange hair from his eyes.
"It feels like it's had some special tuning," he was saying to someone.
"I agree," said Jin Uzuki.
"arickafrackasnickin!" grumbled Allen, making his way into the hangar. "Why doesn't she ever… myakasnog. Makin' me do the ….shisnukahog."
Jin, chaos, and Canaan stared at him in a somewhat amused manner. Allen didn't realize their presence and continued to mumble incoherently. He threw the crap on his back to the floor and kicked it angrily.
"OW!" he yelped clutching his foot. He turned and tripped over a metal pipe. He pounded his fist against the floor in frustration.
"DAMMIT!" He lifted himself up and sighed heavily. "URRRRRGGG!"
"Allen, are you alright?" asked chaos.
"Huh?" he looked up, realizing their presence for the first time. "UGH… This is just great."
Jin started laughing and Allen looked up at him somewhat angrily.
"My sister's got you running all her errands doesn't she?" he asked. Allen's face relaxed a little, and he nodded.
"She always makes me do everything! Will she ever stop to think about the hell I go though for her?"
"You could just say no," suggested Canaan in an indifferent way.
"I can't do that. I mean, she may be a little too tough, but I can't just… She can't do everything by herself. I just wish she'd… ah, what am I saying? I don't even know." chaos smiled a little.
"Sounds like you care for her a lot."
"…"
"Have you ever tried talking to her about this?" he asked. Allen shook his head.
"She wouldn't listen to me even if I did. I've tried so many times to tell her…"
"That's my sister for you," remarked Jin. "You should just cut her off and tell her how you feel. And if she won't listen… find a way to make her listen."
"But-!"
"If you're so worried about it then do something about it. Don't just spout off meaningless complaints and expect anything to come from them," said Canaan, still working nonchalantly on the E.S ASHER.
Allen looked at him for a minute and then nodded. "You're right!" He jumped up enthusiastically. "I'll make her listen to me! You know she's not as invincible as she thinks she is!" He was thoroughly excited.
"Right!" agreed chaos.
"I'm gonna go tell her how I feel!"
"How exciting for you," said Canaan.
"Good, now I'm sorry. I've always been terrible matching names to faces. Who did you say you were again?" asked Jin.
"AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yelled Allen, running out of the room in anger. Everyone, even Canaan, stared after him, eyes a little wide and mouths agape.
"Chief?" asked Allen, walking up to her confidently.
"Oh good, Allen! Did you take that stuff to the hangar like I asked you?"
"Chief, I lo-!" She piled more debris into his now outstretched arms.
"Could you take that too?"
"…Yes, I mean wait! Chief! I need to tell you somethi-!"
"Oh no! I just remembered something! I have to go check on KOS-MOS! I'll see you in a bit Allen!" And with that, she took off.
"………no……….wait……….a ………….second." Allen stared after her for a moment, arms filled with junk. Then he sighed and turned toward the hangar… at the other end of the Durandal.
Poor Allen. Will he ever be able to tell the "Chief" how he feels? Well, you'll just have to wait to find out. And once again, I'm sorry about not including Jr.'s near death scene involving water and MOMO. There just hasn't been room for it so I'm cutting it out. I'll write a small one shot about it instead. Hope you enjoyed! READ&REVIEW! Please! I'm begging you!
