A/N: Well, that was certainly depressing. Just when I was a mere day away from releasing the next chapter of UL, my (very long string of expletives and other such things that would make even Chris Rock feel offended) computer fries and with it goes all of my works in progress. Boo. As I said before, I'm terribly sorry about the delay. I've done my best to recreate this chapter to what it was before so I hope it won't disappoint y'all.
Okay, everyone knows what's gonna happen in this chapter so I'll skip the introduction. Many thanks go out to everyone who has read my fic thus far, especially to those who have been with me since the very beginning. A very special thanks goes out to Lloyd Irving Aurion whose one-shot, "A Fluffy Sheloyd Fic" gave me a lot of inspiration for, not only this chapter, but for the rest of UL as well! He's helped me to become a better writer and… yea! Thanks bro! Another very special thanks goes to Fan Fan Girl for the immense amounts of support she's given me lately. Thanks for always listening to my inane babbling
Just… thank you all from the bottom of my heart! I now proudly present to you…

Chapter 23 (now 24): Unconditional Love
"Tag! You're it!" yelled a little girl as she tapped one of her friends on the shoulder.
The boy whirled around. "Aww man! I'm it again! How come Sheena hasn't been it for a while?"
"Because no one can catch me," said Sheena with a sly smile.
The boy shook his fist at the young woman. "Gah! I'll show you!" He recklessly charged at the ninja only to have her back-flip high into the air. Looking up, he saw that she was standing on the toes of her right foot on the very tip of one of the many laundry poles strewn throughout Iselia.
"Wow!" yelled one of the children with delight. "That was so cool!"
"H-how did you do that Sheena?" asked the astonished boy.
She giggled and wagged her right index finger. In a very terrible oriental accent, she said, "Ancient Mizuho secret!" With a wink, she hopped down from the pole. "Seriously though, it just takes practice. I'm sure you could do it if you tried hard enough."
Lloyd looked around the village square as he reached the bottom end of the trail leading to his house. Sheena could be seen running around with a number of the children from the village, participating in what appeared to be a game of tag. Off to the side on a bench were Zelos and Colette, their arms wrapped around each other as they watched Sheena play with the children. Seeing Lloyd, Colette waved him over and patted the seat of the bench. Accepting her invitation, he walked over and sat next to his friends. Sheena had not yet taken notice of him and continued to play with the children.
"Hey Lloyd! Whatcha been up to all day?" asked Colette in her usually sweet tone.
"Oh, you know, just been hangin' out with dad all day," he said. "Kratos stopped by the house and we had a friendly duel. It was pretty fun."
"You lost, didn't you?"
Lloyd's cheeks turned red. "Uh? What makes you say that?"
"Am I right?"
Lloyd fumed. "Hmph. Yea, you're right."
Colette and Zelos chuckled. One of the children that were involved in the game of tag ran over and began to tug on Colette's clothes. "C'mon Colette! Play with us! Please?"
She smiled. "Hehe. Okay then. You don't mind, do you Zelos?"
He shook his head. "Of course not. Go have fun darlin'. This gives me a chance to chat with my bud Lloyd anyway."
"Yay!" yelled the child with delight. "Everybody run! Here comes Colette!"
Giggling as she did so, Colette took off after the children and Sheena. Zelos ran his good hand through his hair and laughed. "Some people will never grow up."
"Is there something wrong with that?" asked Lloyd.
Zelos shook his head. "'Course not. I'm envious actually."
"Why? There's no reason why you can't cut loose and-…" It was then that Lloyd took notice of Zelos' limp arm and remembered his condition. "S-sorry."
"Heh, don't worry about it bud. I'm used to it now." He flexed his good arm and twisted it left and right. "I suppose I could still act like a kid if I really wanted to. Ah well, that's a topic for another day. I want to tell you something."
Lloyd tilted his head. "Eh? What is it?"
Zelos clenched his hand lightly. "I wanted to both apologize to you and thank you."
"Huh? What for?"
Zelos grinned. "I'm sorry for betraying the party at the tower. All I could think about at the time was myself. I was too blind to realize that you and the others really did trust me as a friend and… I'm just glad that you spared my life."
"Zelos, I-"
"That's not all Lloyd. As a result of all this, I'm now with the most wonderful girl in the world, er, no offense to Sheena."
"None taken, but Zelos-"
"No buts. For whatever reason, that wonderful girl took me in… cared for me… loved me. I didn't deserve such kindness but I got it anyway. Even while being crippled, I must truly be the most blessed man in the world. I truly hope that you win this battle Lloyd. I want to be able to care for her the rest of my life and to do that, I'll need to find a way to heal my limbs."
Lloyd put a hand on Zelos dead should and smiled. "Zelos, you don't need to be healed for that. As long as you've got your heart and soul, you can still take care of her. Besides, I heard about how you saved Iselia from a monster attack a couple of weeks ago."
"Y-you know about that?"
Lloyd laughed. "Sure do. That took some real guts Zelos."
"I got lucky."
"That's not true and you know it. Even in your current state, you can still take care of Colette."
"Still…"
"I know, I know. Don't worry, we'll win. Then you can go on your journey."
Zelos grinned again. "Thanks bud. You're a real pal." He turned his attention back to the game of tag. "We're pretty lucky, don't ya think?"
Lloyd nodded. "We sure are. I've got to do everything in my power to protect Sheena tomorrow. I think I'd die without her."
"Then what are you doing wastin' your time with me? This may be your last night together. Go show her a night she won't ever forget."
Lloyd nodded. "I intend to do just that." He stood up and began to walk to his lover before he turned back towards Zelos. "Thanks Zelos. I'll do my best for all of you tomorrow."
"Thanks bro. I hope you two have a good evening."
"Tag," said a sweet voice from behind Lloyd. Turning around, he saw Sheena standing right in front of him. She tapped him on the shoulder and said, "You're it!"
All of the children and Colette howled in wonder. "Wow!" exclaimed one of the children. "If anyone can catch Sheena, it's Lloyd! He's always been the best at tag!"
Sheena smirked. "Think you can catch me, tough guy?"
Lloyd rolled up his sleeves and rolled his neck. "We won't know until we try, right?"
"Right!" yelled Sheena as he began to run in the direction opposite of him.
Shortly afterward, Lloyd took off after the elusive summoner. "Oh you're goin' down. No one ever beats me in tag."
Everyone watched in delight as they watched the two lovers dash around the village in an attempt to better one another. Both were extremely fast but as the game dragged on, Lloyd began to slowly gain ground on Sheena.
"No good!" said Sheena to herself. "Gotta use my secret technique!" She turned around and dashed straight at Lloyd.
"What's she doing?" said Lloyd to himself. "Ah whatever. Time to prove that I'm the best!"
Just as the two were about to collide, Sheena yelled, "Shadow Phase!" In an amazing display of ancient Mizuhoan techniques, Sheena's body turned into nothing more than a blur as she literally passed through Lloyd's body and appeared on the opposite side of him.
Lloyd grinded his heels into the ground as a sort of brake system. He turned around, his mouth wide open in wonder. "Wah! What was that?"
Sheena smiled sweetly at him and folded her arms behind her back. "It's technique we used to practice as kids in Mizuho. Pretty neat, huh? It seems to be perfect for tag."
The children clapped in delight as Lloyd fumed. "Bah, that's no fair!"
She giggled. "Okay, I won't use it anymore. I promise." Having said that, she took off once again and Lloyd followed.
Another short chase ensued before Sheena took a wrong turn and found herself pinned in a dead-end. Lloyd grinned with delight. "All over Sheena. There's nowhere to run now."
"We'll see about that!" she turned back towards the wall and took a few steps back toward Lloyd.
Not wanting to waste any time, Lloyd made a final dash towards her, fully intent on ending this game with a victory. Just as he was about to grab her, she ran forward, placed one foot on the wall, and kick-flipped herself over the charging Lloyd. Unfortunately for Lloyd, he couldn't put on the brakes fast enough to stop himself from crashing into the wall.
Sheena landed and dusted off her hands. "Haha, that's that!"
Lloyd didn't budge.
"Okay Lloyd, time to get up and admit defeat."
He still didn't move.
"Lloyd?"
Nothing.
"Lloyd!" she ran over and began to shake him. "Hey, get up! Lloyd!"
He smiled and tapped her on the shoulder. "I win."
Sheena felt as if she could hear a million voices laughing at her as her face twisted into a look of utter disgust. After all of the ninja-training-styled maneuvers she used against Lloyd to win, she ended up falling for such a simple trick. It was embarrassing to say the least.
"Lloyd Irving! You little sneak! I oughta-"
"You look really cute when you're embarrassed, Sheena," said an overly cheerful Lloyd.
Sheena's disgust immediately melted away and was replaced by red cheeks when she heard this. "W-what?"
Lloyd stood up and offered his hand to Sheena. "Good game Sheena."
Sheena took his hand, stood up, and the two hugged. "Idiot," she whispered into his ear. "That was a dirty trick."
"It worked though, didn't it?" He smiled and kissed her on the cheek.
"Heh, I guess so." She returned the favor by kissing him quickly on the lips.
From behind them, several of the children were watching what was going on. Just like all kids do, when they saw the two kiss, they couldn't help but howl, "Woooooooo! Sheena and Llo-oyd sittin' in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
The two broke apart and began to scratch their heads. "Ehehe…" they laughed in broken unison. Their faces covered in crimson flush, they proceeded to walk past the children and towards Colette and Zelos.
"Who won?" asked Colette.
Without saying anything, Lloyd flexed his right arm as Sheena merely rolled her eyes. "Still the champ!" said Lloyd proudly.
"Did you act like you were hurt again?"
Sheena immediately turned to Lloyd and glared at him. "Oh really? So is this a regular tactic of yours?"
Colette giggled. "He used to always use that trick on me. I fell for it every time."
"Uh, hehe…" said Lloyd nervously. "Shall we call it a draw?"
"Hmph. I suppose so." Sheena folded her arms and half-grinned at Lloyd.
Zelos shook his head. "Personally, I woulda just kicked Lloyd and claimed victory for myself."
Everyone laughed. The children ran back over to the heroes and tried to coax them into another game of tag. Lloyd wanted to break away and take Sheena out for their night together but didn't know what to say.
"Now now," said Zelos abruptly. He stood up and his spectral wings flared to life. "I'm sure Lloyd and Sheena are tired. I, the Great Zelos, shall be your next opponent!" He looked over at Lloyd and Sheena and winked. "Have fun you two."
Lloyd nodded and held Sheena's hand. "C'mon Sheena. It's our last night together.
She nodded and walked alongside Lloyd. "Where are we going?"
"Zelos told me about this one spot above the village that he and Colette visited once. He says it's really nice up there."
"Sounds good. Let's go."
As they were about to enter the woods, Lloyd and Sheena took one last look back at their friends and the children. Zelos was gliding around, yelling, "Come now! Who here can beat the amazing one-armed man!"
Lloyd shook his head. "How about that…"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Here we are," said Lloyd as he helped Sheena make it up to the top of the hill. "I'm pretty sure that this is the spot Zelos told me about."
"One way to find out, right?" asked Sheena as she walked over to a relatively flat-looking rock near the edge of a cliff. "This has to be it! Look at this view!"
Lloyd walked slowly over to Sheena and his jaw nearly dropped as looked down at the village below. Zelos was right: the view was absolutely breath-taking. From here, he could see everything in the village. The lights of Iselia slowly began to illuminate one-by-one as the sky grew more and more dark. In the village square, the children and their other friends were still playing tag.
Sheena sat down at the rock and sighed. "It's so beautiful up here." She wrapped her arms around herself and shivered. "Heh, it sure is cold though."
Lloyd sat down next to her and wrapped his arms around her, trying to keep her warm. "Well it is winter after-all. I guess Verius is even trying to keep the seasons normal underneath the barrier. Look, there's even snow!"
Just as he said this, Sheena saw small amounts of snowflakes fall from the sky. The icy crystals fell upon her outstretched hand and left tiny puddles of water where they landed. "I never did like cold weather but I always loved snow. It's so pretty."
Lloyd nodded. "Yeah. Back when we were little, me, Colette, and Genis used to always build snowmen and have snowball fights."
"Oh yeah? That sounds like fun."
"Hehe, it was. One year, we decided to make a snow fort. We had a ton of snow that year so we had plenty of "building materials". Our fort was almost as big as a house!"
"As big as a house? No way!"
Lloyd nodded proudly. "Sure was! None of the other kids were a match for our mighty snow fort. Heh… we cried for an entire day when our fort finally melted. We had put so much work into it."
Sheena giggled. "Aww, I'm sorry to hear that Lloyd. If we beat Nebilim, we can build another fort together. It sounds like fun."
Lloyd smiled and held Sheena more tightly. "When we win; not if."
She laid her head down on Lloyd's shoulder. "You're right, sorry about that." She laughed again. "As for the fort, we can have Celsius help too. It doesn't get much better than a Summon Spirit-built snow fort."
Lloyd pulled back a bit and kissed Sheena on the lips. "I'd like that. Sure would save us a lot of trouble."
They shared another laugh and rested their foreheads against each other. Pulling away, they looked back down on the village again. "I'm glad we came up here," said Sheena. She looked off in the distance and something caught her eye. "Hey Lloyd, look over there at the mountain close to the village."
"Huh? What about it?"
She smirked. "There's a lot of snow over there. I guess it's hard for it to melt that high up."
Lloyd peered into the distance and realized that Sheena was right. "Hey, wow, you're right. I've never been up there before."
"…y'know Lloyd, I've never been in a snowball fight before."
He smirked. "Is that right?"
She nodded. "Yeah. It sure does look like a long way off though."
Lloyd stood up and chuckled. "You dork." A second later, his red, spectral wings flared to life and flapped slowly behind him. "We do have wings y'know."
Sheena stood up and he purple wings flared to life as well. "Sorry. I'm still trying to get used to this. I've only been an angel for a week now."
Lloyd held Sheena's hand and pointed to the mountaintop with his other hand. "Let's go!"
With that, the two lifted off from their vantage point and streaked slowly across the sky, leaving dim trails of red and purple light in their wake. On the ground below, the children squealed in delight as they watched the beautiful lights illuminate the now twilight sky.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The two angels touched-down in a patch of mid-shin-deep snow and Sheena nearly tripped when she tried to take her first step forward. "Gah!"
Lloyd caught and set her upright once again. "Easy there. Haven't you ever played in the snow before?"
She shook her head. "Only a little bit. Mizuho is situated in a fairly hot region of Tethe'alla, so we didn't see snow very often. I remember playing in the snow a few times as a child, but that was it. I was pretty clumsy in the snow. Back then, I didn't like cold weather enough to fully appreciate the snow. Now that I'm older, I think that snow is absolutely beautiful."
"Heh, well then, looks like you've got a few things to learn." He jogged a bit away from the cliff where they had landed, kneeled down, and grabbed a large lump of snow. "Time to teach you what a snowball fight is all about!" He wadded up the snow into a fairly compact ball and threw it at Sheena.
The snowball struck Sheena in the thigh and she immediately felt its icy chill run up her spine. "Brr! That's cold!"
"Hehe! That's the whole point of a snowball fight!" He leaned over and began to wad up another ball of snow. "Better start fighting back or you're gonna be sorry!"
Not wasting any time to exact revenge for Lloyd's "attack", Sheena knelt down and quickly gathered together enough snow to make a small snowball. The two angels threw their projectiles at the same time and both impacted on each others' chests. Lloyd merely brushed off Sheena's small snowball while Sheena was nearly bowled over by Lloyd's larger snowball.
"Haha! You'll never win like that!" declared Lloyd proudly.
Sheena grabbed some more snow and smirked. "I've only just begun!" She rushed towards Lloyd who immediately put himself in a defensive position, ready to block or completely evade the incoming snowball. Once she was a mere ten feet away from him, she yelled, "Shadow Phase!" and disappeared much like she did in the game of tag. Realizing what was going on, Lloyd tried to turn around in order to defend himself. Sadly for him, he was too slow and Sheena managed to nail him in the back of the head with a well-placed snowball. Lloyd fell face-first into the snow, obviously embarrassed that he was bested by the "Shadow Phase" once again.
"Ice-cold baby!" said Sheena proudly. Not being able to resist herself, she began to giggle at her own joke.
Lloyd pried his face out of the snow and grumbled to himself. Picking up another wad of snow, he flipped himself over and flung the snow at Sheena. The ball of icy snow hit Sheena in the upper chest and quickly melted and dripped down the inside of her outfit. The sudden chill of the melting ice made her eyes shoot wide-open.
He smirked. "You got that right."
In an impossible act of balancing having fun and being angry with Lloyd, Sheena growled and leapt at Lloyd, tackling him and knocking him back to the ground. "Take that!"
Lloyd quickly turned the tables when he flipped Sheena over and pinned her to the frosty ground. "Give up yet?"
She smirked and began to roll in the snow with Lloyd. As they steam-rolled a path through the snow, the two began to laugh uncontrollably. They stopped at one point as they lay next to each other, the steam of their warm breath brushing gently against each other as they tried to settle down.
"Haha, that was fun," said Lloyd as he tried to catch his frosty breath.
Sheena nodded, her breathing no better off than Lloyd's. "Y-yea it was."
Lloyd stood but began to stumble. "Whoa!" He fell backwards and began to roll down a slope.
Sheena, ignoring her fatigue, immediately jumped up and watched as Lloyd rolled downhill… and towards what looked like a lake of water. "Lloyd!" She began to run after him, knowing full well that a plunge into icy waters could prove to be very hazardous to Lloyd's health.
Lloyd tried to dig his limbs into the snow in an attempt to slow himself down but to no avail. After another few moments of sliding, Lloyd finally plunged head-first into the water.
Sheena stopped herself at the edge of the water and began to panic. "Lloyd! Lloyd!"
Lloyd emerged from the water and began to laugh. "Haha! Sheena, it's a hot spring! It's really nice in here!"
Sheena's cheeks turned a crimson hue of red. "You idiot! You had me worried!"
Still laughing, Lloyd swam over to the edge of the steamy lake, and offered his hand to Sheena, perhaps to ask for help in getting out. Rolling her eyes, she offered her hand but all he did was tug on it and pull her into the water with him.
A moment later, she too emerged from the water. Expecting her to be mad, Lloyd crossed his hands in front of his face but lowered them once he heard her laugh. "Haha, you're right Lloyd! This feels really good! I was starting to get cold."
Grinning, he swam over to her and wrapped his arms around her. "Why didn't you tell me? I woulda kept you warm."
"I know, but we were having so much fun that I didn't wanna ruin it."
"You dork. What woulda happened if you got sick?"
"Then I woulda let my hero take care of me."
They pulled apart and stared into each other's eyes. Hers full of kindness and love, his full of courage and determination. They become lost in each others' hues of brown and did not say anything for some time. They closed their eyes and rested their foreheads on each other.
Lloyd kissed Sheena on the tip of her still frosty nose. "Tomorrow Sheena… tomorrow will be the last day that we ever have to worry about. After tomorrow, we can have fun like this whenever we want. We can be together forever and never have to worry about anything else. Just you and me…" When he said this, he heard Sheena begin to sob, her warm tears were distinctive even in the presence of such warm water. "Sheena?"
"I'm scared Lloyd," cried Sheena. "I'm afraid that we won't make it. I don't want to die! I want to be with you."
Lloyd smiled and gazed into her eyes once again, the reflection of the twilight-illuminated water shining clearly in his eyes. "I don't want to die either Sheena, but we have to try and save the world. Besides, no matter what, we'll always be together. Whether it is here or in heaven, it doesn't matter."
She shook her head. In a low tone, she whispered, "No Lloyd, this is our only chance to be together. There is nothing after this."
Lloyd looked at her, confused. "Why do you say that?"
She gazed once more at him, the light of the twinkling stars above shining in her tear-soaked eyes. She smiled weakly and, in an even lower tone than before, whispered, "Because I'm already in heaven."
The two lovers slowly leaned in toward each other and kissed each other on the lips. Their kiss was deep, passionate, and full of love. So intimate was the kiss that they went without air for a full thirty seconds. They both cried happily as they leaned toward each other.
"I love you Lloyd. Thank you for being my hero," said Sheena.
"I love you too Sheena. Words can't begin to describe how much you mean to me. I only wish that I would've realized this before this entire mess started." Lloyd brought up his right hand and brushed it against Sheena's soft cheek. "The only thing more beautiful than you is your heart and soul."
Sheena brought up a hand as well and brushed it against his right cheek. "Lloyd, you make my world complete. I feel like nothing can ever hurt me when you're around. I-I… I love you so much."
They leaned in once again for another long and very passionate kiss. As they did so, a hail of fluttering spectral pink and white rose petals fell from seemingly nowhere and fell on the surface of the lake. The twilight that once surrounded them was now a bright yet pleasantly illuminated area. The warmth and overall good feeling emanating from the lights put the two lovers in an unbelievably comfortable state. They pulled away from each other and watched as the petals continue to fall.
"Verius," said Lloyd simply.
Sheena nodded and smiled up at him. "So many people are rooting for us Lloyd. We can't let them down."
He nodded. "Both of my dads, our friends, Verius… and everyone else in Symhponia. We have to do our best for them."
She wrapped her arms lightly around Lloyd's neck and pulled him closer to her. "This may be our last chance to be together. Let's make it count."
The two shared another long kiss. The rest of the night passed in a similar fashion as they expressed their unconditional love for each other.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lloyd touched down on the balcony of his house, the utterly exhausted Sheena cradled safely in his arms. He walked into his room and set her down in a chair. "I'm going to go downstairs and get changed, okay? Go ahead and take the bed tonight. I'll sleep on the floor."
She nodded. "Okay then." He began to make his way downstairs when Sheena suddenly said, "Lloyd?"
He turned to her. "Yes?"
Her cheeks became flushed in an instant. "Thank you for the lovely evening. I'll never forget it."
He smiled. "Thank you for loving me the way that you do." He made his way downstairs and got changed into his black pajamas.
He came back upstairs a few minutes later with a blanket from a closet downstairs and threw it down on the floor. Looking over at his bed, he saw that Sheena was already tucked very comfortably underneath the covers. He smiled and prepared to lie down on his blanket when Sheena broke the silence. "Lloyd?"
"Yes?"
"Will you please keep me warm?"
Not wanting to deny her request and certainly not willing to turn down any opportunity to be close to her, Lloyd threw his blanket on top of the bed and slipped underneath the covers next to Sheena. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek. "Thank you Lloyd. You're such a sweetheart."
Lloyd turned his head and gave Sheena quick kiss on the lips. "Good night Sheena. I love you."
"I love you too Lloyd… with all my heart."
Mere moments later, the exhausted lovers fell asleep in each other's arms. In the skies above, two shooting stars, parallel to each other, streaked across the sky. From a clearing in the woods nearby, a loving father witnessed the amazing spectacle. He closed his eyes and began to make his way back toward the village.
"Oh starry heavens… please protect my family…"

That's it! After such an enormous delay and a computer crash, chapter 23 (24)is finally done! I hope it lived up to everyone's expectations… and then some! I have one thing to ask, no, beg of everyone. According to my stats page, there are at least 80 people that like the story (that's only counting the people who have UL on their favorites list. There's bound to be more!). I beg all of you, if you never write another review for me, to please write a review for this chapter. I've put so much effort into the chapter and I'd really like to know what everyone thinks of the chapter, be it good or bad. Thank you so much in advance!
Also, I have some priority updates to mention: As always, UL will be number one on the list and Crossing the Bridge will be #2. Since MoS is a collection of short stories and not a multi-chapter story, I'm classifying it as a "Whenever I feel like it" story. Joining MoS in this category is my newest collection of one-shots: Hearts of Symphonia. The basics are explained on my profile page, so I won't waste your time here. For those of you who leave me a review, I would like for all of you to vote on which of the 20 couples you would like to see first. One request: No SheenaXLloyd for at least 4-5 chapters. Wanna take a tiny break on Sheloyd fluff for a bit.
As for everything that I haven't updated in a while, stay tuned for updates! Now that things have more or less returned to normal, I can start keeping a regular schedule! Expect the next chapter of UL in about 2-3 weeks. After that, everything should be okay! Thanks everyone!
Also, be sure to check out my one-shot, "Reluctant Saviors"! I hope you like it as well!
