Bonded – Part 1

Kratos came back from his searching. He had gotten quite a lot of food. But, tonight was special. He was finally going to show Anna what he had been waiting to show her for months. However, when he reached camp, she was gone.

"Anna?" Kratos set the food down and began to search for her. Just then, he felt arms wrap around his neck.

"Surprise, Kratos…" He saw a red sleeve and a sword to his neck. He turned his to see his foe. A Desian. He was about to draw his sword, when the Desian pulled off his helmet. Erm, I should correct that, shouldn't I? Erm, I mean the Desian pulled off her helmet.

"Anna…" Kratos smiled at her.

"Surprise, Kratos!" She giggled. "You actually smiled!"

"Hmph." Kratos turned around and crossed his arms in his stiff way. Anna sighed. Was he ever going to loosen up? Kratos walked behind her and combed her long sorrel hair with his fingers.

"Kratos…You have something on your mind, don't you?"

"Does it matter?"

"Yes." Anna said firmly. Kratos sighed. He felt a trickle of sweat roll down his cheek. He turned hot. He stepped back and pulled something out of his pocket. Anna smiled. She knew something was on his mind.

"Anna…be with me forever…" He wrapped his arms around her.

"Huh? 'Be with me forever…' what's that supposed to mean? What do you expect? Of course I'm going to stay with you!" Anna slapped him. Kratos smiled. He grabbed her arm and knelt down on one knee. Anna knew what was happening. She started trembling. She was so happy.

"Anna…" Kratos suddenly got up and ran off.

"Wait! Why are you running away?" Anna ran after him, but she tripped on her skirt and ripped it. "Oh no…now what? I can't just take it off!" She looked at the large rip straight through the seam on the side. It now revealed her bare leg. She tried to cover it, but it was no use. Now Kratos could see it. Not that it was bad, but she didn't want him to stare at her leg, nor did she want him to get any strange ideas.

"You have beautiful legs, Anna." She heard. She quickly pulled the back of her skirt over the rip and blushed. Kratos had seen her leg. She saw him leaning against a tree.

"…Y-You didn't get any weird ideas, did you?" She asked.

"No. I'm not that kind of person, Anna." He walked over to her and kissed her. He grabbed her hand and slid the diamond ring onto her ring finger.

"Kratos…it's beautiful!" Anna cried when she saw the ring. It was a ring with three diamonds in it. Kratos smiled.

"Anna…will you marry me?" Kratos asked, kneeling and taking her hand.

"What do you think, you idiot? I course I won't!" Anna slapped him. Kratos's heart sank into his stomach.

"…Excuse me, Anna…I'm sorry if I…" Kratos was interrupted.

"Hey! I haven't finished yet." She smiled. Kratos raised an eyebrow and leaned against a tree.

"As I was saying, of course I won't stay single!" Anna threw her arms around him and smothered him with kisses. Kratos felt a tear roll down his cheek. He returned the kisses.

A few weeks later…

Kratos stood across from Anna. They were out in the flower fields, Kratos in his Judgment costume, and Anna in a white, lacy dress. (Disclaimer: I don't own Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance) Rhys, a priest, stood with a book in his hand, his staff I the other.

"Kratos Aurion; do you accept this woman to be your wife?" Rhys asked.

"Of course…"

"Anna Irving; do you take this man to be your husband?"

"I do."

"I think I'll leave you to have a wonderful wedding." Rhys left. Anna leaped into Kratos's arms. He fell over, and they…well, let's just say… "rolled around in the field" for a long time. This was one of their happiest moments in life. They never forgot it. In fact, when she died, Anna thought of this.

Bonded – Part 2

"Kratos, I really want a child. I want him to be as smart and talented as you (unfortunately, Lloyd didn't turn out this way)." Anna and Kratos had built a small house on the edge of Lake Umacy. It was lovely. Perfect. "We need more family. I want something that isn't as stiff and unfriendly as you. OW!"

"Sorry. Guess I wasn't being careful enough. So, you're saying that I'm not a good person? Look what I'm doing now: popping a blister on your toe." Kratos rolled his eyes and poked the sewing needle into the blister again.

"I shouldn't have worn those shoes to our wedding. Ugh, those shoes really squeeze my toes." She moaned as Kratos poked her blister again.

"Goodness, Anna, this is a huge blister." Kratos said, as liquid began oozing out of the blister. He slowly got the strange liquid out.

"Aw, gross. And to answer your last question, yes. I do think you're a good person; it's just that it's hard to understand your strange logic. Your strange logic baffles my brilliant, brilliant mind." Anna said. Kratos snorted. "So, Kratos, will you bear me a child?"

"What do you mean? Even if I were to give you a child, you would be the one giving birth to it, not me." Kratos said.

"Kratos! It's my dream! Please?" Anna gave him the puppy face.

"You really are persistent, aren't you?" Kratos smirked. "How will I ever put up with all your stubbornness?" He picked her up and carried her on his shoulder.

"Hey! Put me down!" She pounded her fists on his back. Kratos was too tough for that, so he walked over to the edge of the lake. "Kratos Aurion, you'd better not do what I think you're going to do!"

"Oh, yes I am." Kratos threw her in the lake. Anna came up, soaking wet.

"KRATOS AURION! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" Anna swam over to the edge and climbed out. Kratos opened his wings and flew up. Anna smiled and grabbed her bow and some arrows. She pointed the arrow at Kratos's wings. Kratos knew what she was up to, and swooped down and grabbed her.

"So, Anna…how is it, flying through the sky?"

"It's great! I wish I had wings! I love this!" Anna smiled at her husband. When he flew, the wind pushed back his bangs, revealing his other eye for once. They soon came back to the house, and Kratos dried Anna off with a towel.

"So…will you?"

"Will I what?"

"Give me a child?"

"Stop with the topic, Anna. You don't need to ask anymore."

"So…you are?"

"Yes, eventually."

"Thank you, Kratos…" Anna hugged him and kissed him. Kratos took a whiff of her scent again. That warm vanilla sugar…the scent was so nice. Even when Anna fell into lakes, her scent still remained.

Anna squirmed under the sheets. She wrapped her arms around Kratos and held him tightly in her arms. Kratos looked at her, puzzled.

"I thought you wanted a child, Anna. I am only granting your wish."

"I know…" Anna gripped his hand. Kratos pressed his lips to hers. She relaxed and soon fell asleep.

Anna woke up and felt really dizzy. She stumbled out of bed and tottered right smack into Kratos.

"What's the matter, Anna?" Kratos caught her.

"Ugh…I feel dizzy…"

"From pregnancy I presume?"

"I suppose…" Anna weakly said. She wrapped her arms around Kratos to maintain balance. Unfortunately, she was really dizzy, so she lost her balance. "Agh!" Anna toppled over.

"Anna!" Kratos caught her again.

"I…I'm alright…" Anna managed to say, but she was too weak. She fainted.
