Chapter 3 – Sorrow

The attack happened right after Sheena fell asleep. As Zelos reached Sheena's town, he knew that he was too late. Many innocent people were dead. Even Orochi, Tiga, and Igaguri were dead. Zelos only hoped that Sheena wasn't. He saw a ninja in red dive through the window and into the chief's house.

"No!" Zelos yelled. He grabbed Kuchinawa's ankles.

"Errr…you!" Kuchinawa threw a shuriken at Zelos. Zelos neatly dodged it, but he had to let go of Kuchinawa's ankles. He heard a large bustle going on inside the house. Zelos dove through the window and drew his sword. Sheena and Kuchinawa were fighting. Sheena had her cards out, and Kuchinawa had a variety of weapons. Sheena was obviously more tired than Kuchinawa.

"That's all?" Kuchinawa asked, arching an eyebrow.

"I'm not finished yet! Don't make me laugh…I'm still alive," Sheena wiped away some crimson blood from her mouth. "Pyre Seal!" A sphere of cards formed around Kuchinawa, and blew him backwards. He fell over on his backside, but quickly got up. Neither of them noticed Zelos.

"It's over!" Kuchinawa yelled. He slammed the ground, causing a large shockwave to spring up from the ground. Sheena was blown backwards, but she flipped and landed perfectly on her feet.

"Life Seal!" Sheena withdrew strength from Kuchinawa. "Demon Seal!" Kuchinawa was knocked down again. Sheena retreated and began to summon Volt. As soon as Kuchinawa stood up, a Master Field from Volt swirled around him. He ran, but he was blocked by a series of attacks from Sheena. He was then hit with a barrage of lightning bolts.

"Oh? You're using this against me? The spirit you failed to make a pact with before?" Kuchinawa shook with anger. Zelos knew this would only add to Kuchinawa's strength. He wanted to run out and protect Sheena, but his legs were petrified. He couldn't do anything except breathe, live, watch, and shiver.

Sheena glared at Kuchinawa and began to summon again. Kuchinawa went in for an attack. It didn't seem to bother her a bit, though.

"I summon! Come, ORIGIN!" Sheena used the last bit of strength to defeat Kuchinawa. Kuchinawa was hit with a blast of rocks. He fell to the ground in a bloody heap.

"Sheena…it looks like I have underestimated your strength…" Kuchinawa smirked. He coughed up blood. Sheena kneeled down and gasped for air. Just then, Zelos stepped out of the shadows.

"Zelos?" Sheena looked up at him. Zelos didn't even look at her. Instead, he gave an unusual cold stare at Kuchinawa. Kuchinawa laughed.

"Do you want to kill me, Zelos?" Kuchinawa asked. "Finish me off. I cannot even stand." Zelos held his sword to the ninja's neck.

"Wait!" Sheena said. Both men turned to look at the chief of Mizuho. "Zelos don't kill him. He was my friend…I still consider him a friend, though. I am very angry at his actions and decisions, but I am not blinded by my anger." Zelos sheathed his sword.

"So…you are sparing me?" Kuchinawa asked. "You are too naïve, Sheena. That is why you can never succeed."

"Shut up, bastard," Zelos snapped. "She makes a much better leader than you ever could." Kuchinawa smirked and leapt to his feet. Zelos drew his sword.

"It's too late now, Zelos. You cannot calm my ocean of fury," Kuchinawa said. He drew a knife and threw it at Zelos. Zelos dodged it, but Sheena was too tired to dodge it. It slid into her flesh and spewed blood over her lavender uniform. Zelos screamed out.

"Feel that? That is the pain that I felt when I lost my parents," Kuchinawa said. He drew another knife. Blood spilled out between Sheena's teeth. Sheena managed to stand up. She staggered and managed to whisper, "Kuchinawa, you son of a bitch! I knew you would do this." She grasped the knife that was embedded in her skin.

"Now that Sheena is out of the way, I can now eradicate you, Zelos," Kuchinawa aimed his knife.

"Kuchinawa, if you throw that knife, I will throw this knife at you. I have a clear shot at your head…" Sheena whispered. Kuchinawa laughed.

"As if you could!" He laughed again. "You won't be able to hit me." Kuchinawa released the knife in his hand. Sheena yanked the knife out of her chest and threw it at the knife aimed towards Zelos's heart. The two knives collided and boomeranged back at Kuchinawa. They cut into Kuchinawa's chest.

"What…?" Kuchinawa's last word came out of his mouth before he fell to floor dead. Sheena smiled and collapsed onto the floor.

"No! Sheena!" Zelos ran over to her. He cradled her head in his arms. 'Don't be dead…please don't be dead…' he thought.

"Damn…I'm sorry, Zelos. I'm sorry that I didn't realize it before? Zelos…" Sheena cried.

"Sheena…" Zelos felt his eyes filling up with tears.

"Dammit! If only I had noticed it sooner! Zelos…it's too late now…I would've accepted your proposal, except I feel that strange tingle of death creeping over me…" Sheena squeezed her eyes shut. Tears ran down her cheeks.

"Sheena…do you love me?" Zelos asked her.

"Yes, dammit! I do!" Sheena sobbed. "If I did earlier, I wouldn't be crying now!"

"Sheena…" Zelos closed his mouth over hers. Sheena smiled.

"Thank you, Zelos…I'll remember that when my eyes close forever," Sheena smiled. "I miss that stupid grin of yours, Zelos…" Zelos grinned; not because she said she missed it, it was because being with her made him grin. He kissed her lips again. He felt her breath. Then it stopped. Sheena was dead. He smiled. All of a sudden, he broke into tears. He brushed her cheek, but the tears would not stop. He would never see her again.

"Damn! I'll never see you again, Sheena!" Zelos hugged Sheena close to his chest. Her body was like ice.

"It's not fair…IT'S NOT FAIR!" Zelos cried out, the tears streaming down his cheeks. "WHY SHEENA…?"

'A rare beauty in the North...she's the finest lady on earth. A glance from her, the city falls, a second glance leaves the whole nation in ruins. There is no city or nation that has been more cherished than a beauty like this.'

Lilikoifish: Waaaahhh! I'm so sad…I felt so sad when I wrote this. I am so sorry that this is short, and the ending was a little sappy. Oh well…excuse me while I go and blow my nose.
