This is an scene that happens when Kratos is on his material hunt, probably wont use it in Shards but that doesn't mean I wont share it with all of you. Enjoy my evil humor attempt!

Kasan

You're looking for sacred wood right, more of it?" Lloyd called to Kratos. "Well try the Labs in Sybek, Raine resurected a few seedlings and Colette speed grew them so there should be some new trees growing there. I imagine you could speed grow enough of the seeds to get as much wood as you want."

Kratos rose an eyebrow, turned and stared Lloyd in the eyes.

"Why are you helping me?"

"I owe you one!" Lloyd smiled.

Kratos walked off, heading for the north west gate, that pointed in Sybek's direction. Once he was out of sight Raine began to sputter.

"Lloyd he's a servent of Cruxis! Why did you help him?"

"I owed him one." Lloyd's grin told them all it was not out of gratitude Lloyd had helped Kratos but spite.

"If he was seeking sacred wood then you have undoutable aided him greatly in his endevor." Regal frowned. "In aiding him you may of aided Cruxis."

"You remember when we were at the university and Persea spoted the dried seeds and I had Raine reserect them and plant them? How it was after we ran into Kratos and he was muttering some junk about sacred wood."

"Yeah..." Zelos snorted. "I told you you were crazy for even doing that."

"Well while I was there I stumbled into onto a Kratos fan club, like the club the adults had in Iselia, for Professor Raine..."

"You didn't!" Genis gasped, seeing where he was going.

"I told them that Kratos was a good friend of mine and that I knew he liked trees and he was doing research on special kinds of trees now I bet all of those girls are now prowling the biology hall just waiting for him to show up."

"Didn't Mr. Kratos run from those girls who were chasing after him in Luin?" Colette asked.

"Not much room to run in those halls..." Sheena noted a smile on her face.

"Lloyd, my bud that's one hella score on your side." Zelos snagged Lloyd in a hug. "Keep this up and you could bag yourself a bunch of Zelos hints on hunny grabbing."

"The images of this Kratos being tormented by the students are rather funny." Regal smiled slightly.

"I feel sorry for him." Colette sighed. "It was kind of mean..."

"The odds of Kratos not being flustered and chased... zero percent."

"Lloyd that was marvioulous, you did contact the student who had pictures on him in his lockers didn't you?"

"Yep." Lloyd grinned. "I did."

"Very thurough Lloyd, very thurough." Raine nodded her head, as if congradulating him for doing a math problem well, then she broke out into rich laughter. "Poor man, I could almost feel sorry for him!"

"Lay me some skin man!" Zelos offered his hand and Lloyd smached it against his own, the Chosen of Tethe'alla winced and rubbed his palm. "Owww..."

"Hey!" Genis struck a pose with his kendama, a poor imitation of Kratos in fighting stance. "Back back... leave me alone!" He was slowly over ran by invisible girls, that play caused everyone to laugh.

Noishe only looked at Lloyd, shook his head and put his paws over his eyes.

"What's the matter boy?"

"Whiine..." Noishe half sighed half whimpered.

"There are times I wish you could talk you know that?"

Noishe only cringed, as if he expected Kratos to swoop out of the sky and rain judgement light down on them.

-in Sybek later that afternoon-

Frowning the seriph entered the surprisingly empty biology lab. There were the sproutlings, with a few words of a spell he'd coax them into full growth and...

The door behind him creeked open and a girl with shining eyes slipped in.

"Are you like... Kratos Aurion?"

Frowning at the girl's poor gramer Kratos nodded stiffly.

"Thee Kratos Aurion?" It came out as a squeak, and a sinking feeling took the mercenary's gut.

Kratos turned away from the child and gathered the words of the spell in his mind...

There was a babble of female voices outside the room, they were strangley loud and shrill. The door opened and not one woman but thrity tried to squeaze into the room all of them giggling and moving towards him like a tide of idiotic fanatic idol worshipers. He almost drew his wings as thier babble ran about him and they reached for him. Paleing under the looks of adoration the seriph looked to run but there was no window large enough to jump through and there was no way he was going to fight his way past that group of girls and be... groaped and pawed over like the Chosen of Tethe'alla.

"Can I get an autograph!"

"Can I have a lock of hair!"

"No I want one give one to meee!"

Dear Gods no!

Taking a step back Kratos muttered a few words under his breath and with a flash of light dissapeared.

His one thought was... had Lloyd some how planned this?

No, Lloyd was far to innocent to set something like this up, it had to be Zelos' idea!

Kratos kricked his knuckles, an unpleasent sound that promised a sound thrashing to the Chosen of Tethe'alla next time they crossed paths. He'd kill Zelos for this, he'd drag that arrogent peacock across the length and width of Tethe'alla by the hair and maybe even shave it all off just for good measure. Plans of revenge boiling in his mind Kratos drew his wings, he had other things to do, he'd get even later.
