A/N: Oh ho ho ho ho... bit of random fluff. : D And action! Finally! Go kick some ass, ladies,

When Sheena started to wake up, the first thing she could sense was something warm on her hand. Thinking it was Corrine nuzzling her hand, she smiled and tried to pet his head, saying in a voice thick with sleep: "Corrine, that tickles...oh I've got such a headache..."

But her hand met the floor. She patted around sleepily for Corrine before remembering Corrine was dead. She put a hand to her chest instead, to feel her heart beating, and was silent. Then her eyes fluttered open and, sensing it was still early in the morning, she snuggled deeper under her blankets to try and find a comfortable position so she could fall asleep again, trying to ignore the dull pounding in her head.

Out of the corner of her eye, though, she saw a flash of orange. Sitting up (she winced as she found moving made the headache worse), she found the Professor sitting on the windowsill without blinking. Her mouth was set in a neutral position and her hands were resting in her lap. "Ohn, uhm..." Sheena tried to remember how to speak, but her mind was busy trying to ignore the pain. "DidjoosleepokRaine?" she finally managed to say. "Did. You. Sleep. Okay?" she said again, trying to clearly state each word and not slur them. "Raine?"

Raine turned her head to look at Sheena. She tapped her fingers on the windowsill, thinking. Of course, Raine could not say that she had only gotten an hours worth of sleep before waking up, thinking if Genis was found she didn't want to be asleep. "Yes," Raine said at last. "I woke up a few moments ago and couldn't go back to sleep, so I got dressed."

"Oh." Sheena put a hand to her face. "Have I been drinking...? Nah, nevermind... was the futon uncomfortable?"

"I just couldn't sleep." So I saw you had thrown your blankets off so I covered you up again and have been staring at you this whole time with my hand resting on yours, and when you woke up I got up and tip-toed as far away from you as I could get without moving to Flanoir. But of course, Raine said:"So I decided to watch the sun rise."

"Good idea," Sheena said, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She got up and stumbled to the window, leaning on the frame with her arms crossed and her eyes narrowed against the feeble sunlight. There was silence as the sky grew from black to violet, with hints of pink and gold colors splashed about. Sheena sighed and turned away, a hand to her face.

"Have any spells for a hangover, Professor?" She joked, laughing weakly. "Sorry you have to see me when I'm a wreck. I should have known better-" She was interupted when Raine held her hand and pried the fingers apart, placing two pills in Sheena's hand. She put a small bottle away into the depths of her orange coat, but not before Sheena's sharp eyes could pick out the label, even when she was reeling with pain. "Seasickness meds?" she asked, looking at the pills skeptically.

"That's what they are supposed to be for," Raine explained, "But Zelos once got them confused for his hangover remedy. He said they worked better than the real thing." Raine shrugged. "Don't ask me. He seemed to be better after he used them, and I used them like that once and felt better at once. Maybe it has to do with the fact that he's male and I'm female..?" There was a glint in Raine's eye and she seemed to really wake up. "Hmmmm..."

Sheena couldn't help herself. She sighed and shook her head. "Professor, you're using me as a guinea pig?"

Raine flushed. "That's not what I meant!" she said hotly. "If you don't want the pills I can take them back!"

"OK, OK!" Sheena held her hands up, palm outwards, in a sign of defeat. "I'm sorry! I'll take the pills." She poured herself water from a pitcher on the knee-high table and drank the pills at the same time. "Gurk," she said, making a face. "They're bitter..." but they did work. Her headache cleared in a matter of seconds and she was feeling more alert than if she had had twelve hours of natural sleep, not induced by a large quantity of alchohol.

Raine looked at her strangely, her eyebrow quirked up.

"What?" Sheena asked at once, feeling self-concious.

"...Nothing," Raine said. "It's just they didn't work that fast on Zelos."

"It must be because he's a guy," Sheena said at once.

"Yes," Raine said, "I suppose you're-"

"Get down!" Sheena yelled out of nowhere, dragging the Professor to the ground by her orange coat just as an arrow zipped by where her head had been. The two heroines glanced at each other and at once rushed to their weapons and out the door. Sheena rushed the archer who had targeted Raine, growling as she kneed him in the gut, forcing him to bend over so she could smack the back of his head with her strong-as-steel enchanted cards. She gave a sharp cry as she was stabbed in the side by another attacker.

"Bastard!" she roared, yanking the stilletto out and slashing with her cards. The masked attacker blocked it with another knife and stepped back. Sheena didn't give him any room to breathe, her teeth bared angrily as she struck and kicked and sidestepped any wild strikes he managed to send her way. Finally she saw an opening and knocked the dagger out of his hand, moving in and slamming the side of her hand against his neck, knocking him out. She turned to see Raine kicking the last assasin in the face, sending him flying. Sheena winced. Lloyd had told her of the wrath of the Professor.

"That was..." Sheena shook her head. "That was unexpected."

"Assasins?" Raine asked, nudging the fallen attacker with the toe of her boot.

Then they heard the screams.

"They're attacking the whole village!" Sheena said, turning on her heels and dashing to the sounds of battle. "I have to help the shinobi!" she yelled over her shoulder at the Professor. "Come on!"

"Got it," Raine said, close at the heels of the female ninja.
