KrAtOs LuVeR: I like updating….I have all these good ideas, for later on in the fic, but all I'm stuck on right now, is Kratos's past!

Kratos: Then…go to the present…

KrAtOs LuVeR: NO! I'm not done yet…

Kratos: Fine, but it hurts you know

KrAtOs LuVeR: What hurts….o.O?

Kratos: Reading this, dammit!

KrAtOs LuVeR:…...DISCLAIMER!

Kratos: sighs Fine…KrAtOs LuVeR does not own ToS, or me, or Anna, she's mine...and…

KrAtOs LuVeR: Awww…..she's yours?

Kratos: Shut up…anyway…the only thing she owns is this fanfic

KrAtOs LuVeR: YUP! Now, on with the story! It's going to be a mix of Kratos's POV and Anna's POV…I'm sure you'll be able to tell whose POV will be going on…ENJOY!

Tales of Symphonia, The Love of One:

She watched the dripping wet man, and sighed. Why had he let her free…and why was he suddenly back for her? It scared her to think he might take her back, and she would take it as betrayal…letting her go…and then coming back to capture her.

"My room's right here." She told him, unlocking the door and opening it.

"Hey, I should pay you…" Kratos told her wearily. He seemed tired, but every time he looked at her, he smiled. This time, she smiled back.

"I'm good. I have a lot of friends in different towns. So, I get discounts, or sometimes, I don't even have to pay." Kratos gawked at her, and she laughed at he look. She flopped on the bed, and sighed. "So, tell me…Kratos. Why are you here?"

"Well, uh…I…" She could almost feel tears come to her eyes, as she thought of going back to that dreadful place, where they treated you like dirt.

"Oh, you came just to see me, didn't you! Oh, I'm so flattered, Kratos!" she said trying to seem happy, and trying to get her mind off Cruxis. Kratos smiled, but it faded, and it turned into a frown.

It was like some stupid drama thing. A life or death situation. If Kratos was going to say what she thought he was going to say, she was dead. But of course it didn't mean she would give in. "I'm not going back…hope you know that." Kratos sighed and nodded.

"I know…" She also nodded, and walked past him, going out of the room.

"I'm going to get something to eat, you want anything?" Kratos quickly shook his head.

"Ah, no…I'm fine."

"You can change while I'm gone, okay?" She said plainly. Kratos nodded, with an odd gaze in his eyes. She looked at him weirdly, shook her head, and went downstairs.

He sighed, wearily, and sat down on the bed. His only other thing he could possibly wear was his Cruxis clothing that was similar to his purple/blue clothes but was looser.

He shook his head and put his hand in the air. Sparkles came around his hand and transformed his purple/blue clothes to the Cruxis clothes. (A/N: I couldn't think of anything else…it's not like he carries a suitcase, so…) It wasn't like anyone would know that it symbolizes Cruxis.

He sat down on the bed, and thought. 'If I let her go, and let her be free, perhaps save her from Cruxis, I'll get into huge shit. But, if I give her back to Mithos, then I'll have this huge guilty conscience, and I'll never be able to forgive myself!'

He slammed his fist against a wall, really hard, and growled angrily. His life or hers…

"Hey, what was that!" said a voice form outside the door. He opened it and found Anna.

"Ah, sorry…just uh, fell." Anna laughed which made him smile all over again.

"How'd you fall!"

"T-tripped…" She shook her head, and put her plate full of food, on her bed. "So, do you have any idea what I'm going to do now?" Anna shook her head.

"If you try to take me back, I'll kick your ass, so I guess either way, I win. I get to stay here!" He smirked at the idea of her beating him up. So, he shook his head, and sat down on the bed.

"I doubt you can beat me up!" She looked at him, playfully.

"We're gonna have to try that sometime, Kratos." So, the two sat in silence for a while, which was sort of disturbing him. She ate her food, quietly and he sat there, dumbly.

"Hey, you wanna go somewhere?" She asked him after eating.

"Where to?" He asked curiously. She smiled, and got up from the bed.

"Follow me!" So, he got up and followed. And wherever she was leading him to was outside of Luin. He looked around the open field. The Desian Ranch, mountains, more mountains, and dirt. But, as he noticed she was leading him closer and closer to the ranch, he had to stop.

"Where do you think you're going!" Anna now looked nervous and worried, instead of happy and bubbly.

"Please, continue to follow me…" He shook his hand, grabbed her wrist and begun to walk back to Luin.

"No, let go! Please, Kratos!" He ignored him. She then tried to pry his hand off her wrist, but failed, as he was much stronger. "There are people that I care about in there!" He stopped walking and paused, but not looking at her.

"Anna…are you married…?"She gasped at the question, and then made a quick laugh…but he heard the nervousness in the laugh.

"Wh-what kind of question is that!"

"I guess a random question, really. You just…said that there are people that you care about there, so…are you married?" He then looked at her. But, she looked away form him.

"Of course not! Heh…marrying is just when some stupid guy wants to pretend to love you, and later on in your life, he treats you like crap! I'm not some stupid slave, and never will be! That's why I'm not going back to Cruxis!" 'Well, at least she's determined…'

"Okay, fine. So, you want to help people?" Anna looked back at him, eyes sparkling.

"You'll help!" He nodded, and she led him back to the ranch.

Since, he was with Cruxis he found an easy way to get in. They found their way to where the prisoners were held, but to release the prisoners you needed a password. He wasn't very good at hacking though. That was more of Yuan's work.

"Can you get it?" Anna asked, trying to comfort the prisoners. He shook his head and gritted his teeth. The only thing on his mind was in how much shit he was going to get into if an alarm went off, or if Mithos found out. He was wearing his Cruxis uniform, and he was a Seraphim for crying out loud! Everyone knew him!

"This isn't my work, its Yua...I mean, I'm not good with this sort of things." He sighed and then finally gave up on the hacking. But when he tried to delete something, an alarm suddenly sounded. "No, damn!" He drew his fire sword, and tried to cut the bars, but it didn't work.

Anna desperately and frantically looked around for anything, but found nothing, and went onto the computer.

"Okay, I just might know the password, but if I'm wrong, the alarm will get louder and we'll get into more trouble."

"I don't care, just try it!" He watched her swiftly type on the computer, her fingers barely touching the letters on the touch pad computer. When she finished typing it, no extra alarm went off and the prisoner's bars opened.

"Good, now hurry and get them out!" He told her.

"I don't think so…Kratos" He spun around and saw a Desian leader and some soldiers with him. 'Kvar…that stupid bastard…' Kvar walked up to him and Anna. "Now, this is sad. I don't think Mithos is going to like this, Kratos. And who is this…?"Anna gasped and went behind him, clutching him.

"Don't let him take me…please Kratos; you're a nice person…I know you won't let him." Kvar laughed.

"Don't be a fool! Kratos is one of the four Seraphim of Cruxis! He's one of the top leaders of Cruxis, do you think he would listen to you, you pathetic inferior being!" Anna gasped, releasing her grip on his clothes, and backed away. He growled and pointed his sword to his neck.

"That's right, I am. So, why don't you have some respect for the Seraphim!" Kvar clenched his teeth, but then smiled.

"Why would I listen to one who has betrayed us?" He kept the sword at Kvar's neck, but stopped growling.

"I…"

"Kratos…you're…one of their…leaders!" Anna said in disbelief. He took the sword away form Kvar's neck and looked at Anna.

"No, I…I am, but I…"

"You won't give me to them Kratos…please!" He looked away from her face, and to the ground.

"He's just one of them!" yelled one prisoner. Kvar laughed.

"That's right; he's just one of us! You see, Anna, he got your hopes up. Hopes of escaping, and now…he's going to betray you. Or, if he doesn't…he'll die." He smirked and shook his head.

No; Mithos couldn't kill him. If he did, his precious pact with Origin would be released. So, it didn't matter if he betrayed them. He then laughed, and pointed his sword back at Kvar's neck.

"I don't think so Kvar…Mithos can't kill me!" At first, Kvar looked confused, and then his eyes went wide.

"Damn! Get her!" He spun around and killed a soldier that was about to grab Anna.

"Let's go!" He yelled to the prisoners.

"No, hurry! Get them! Kill all the prisoners!" He frantically sliced soldier after soldier. Finally, they were all gone, and Kvar was left.

Kvar looked around desperately, but found noting to help him, so he ran. He smirked and sheathed his fire sword.

"Shall we go?" he asked Anna, who smiled and hugged him. He smiled also, and hugged her back. "C'mon let's take the people back to Luin, where they can get help, and then can go back to their homes." Anna nodded, her smile only getting wider.

As they all walked back to Luin, it was getting dark.

"The stars are pretty, huh?" he nodded, smiling.

"Yea. Did you know if you count the stars it'll help you fall to sleep?" Anna looked at him.

"Really?" He nodded.

"But you know…the stars are pretty…but uh…" Anna looked back to the stars.

"What?"

"Y-y….um…you're prettier…" Anna gasped, and looked at him, with a big grin.

"Really…?" He nodded. Anna leaned on hm, and put her head on his shoulder.

"Thanks, Kratos…"

"I'm staying with you, by the way…" He felt Anna's smile grow on his shoulder.

"But…you're one of their leaders…"

"Yea, well I've already betrayed them, so it won't make any difference. And anyway, Mithos can't kill me, or else a pact he made with Origin will be released and any elf or half elf can take his sword." (A/N: I forgot which one it was, so just go with me, k?) Anna nodded, and then put her head back on his shoulder.

"Kratos?"


"Yea…?" Anna lifted her head, from his shoulder, and the distance between them closed, as their lips locked. As he felt her tongue slide into his own mouth, he went with her. But they soon parted to catch a breath.

"W-whoa…" he stuttered, flushed. She was also flushed.

"Again…?" she asked nervously. He nodded, and they went back to it.

…Nothing could've part them…
