I Never Wanted to Be This Way

A/N: I do not own anyone from Fire Emblem, or anything else I shouldn't own. This story is in Sain's point of view. Thank you to my three reviewers; Nightmare, Zed21, and K-Gforever for reviewing. I am going to apologize right now for what will happen in this chapter. Like I said in one of my other chapters, I'm addicted to Ranma ½, and being so, I incorporate that into my writings sometimes like for this chapter, I took a character, and sort of transferred it into Fire Emblem, but that's just for this chapter.

(Personal Opinions)

"Dialogue"

Ch. 4

When we all returned to the castle after the battle, Eagler explained the reasons for the tactic of sending us on what would seem to be a suicide mission. We have a really old tactician, who only tells his plans to the generals. He believed if we sent the full two divisions, the Pegasus Knights would have attacked the village, knowing they wouldn't stand a chance against the forces. The original plan was to use us as a diversion so we could set up our ballista. His plan didn't work out exactly as he wanted it to but it was better. He was very impressed that Kesa was able to fire from horseback.

What is more surprising to me is that I have finally gotten control of my blasted mouth. I didn't say anything chivalrous during battle, thankfully. Nothing at all about "women shouldn't fight" or "I'll protect you" or any other crap like that. Nope, I was perfectly normal, and was extremely happy about it. And my day only got better, turned out Kesa wanted to talk to me again and told me to meet her in the Dining Hall. When she left, I was standing in the hallway, staring after her with wide eyes. I stood there dumbfounded for two minutes, it would have been more if my buddy Kent didn't show up and put me in a headlock, knocking me into the present. "Ha, so my womanizing friend has finally found himself a girl" he said. "And it only took a frying to my head too," I stated. The statement had probably fazed him, because I was able to get out of his headlock. After getting out of the headlock I tackled him to the floor and pinned him so he wouldn't move. It was still afternoon so Kent and I went to joust against each other. The score was 16 to 15 with Kent winning. Kent usually does win but I sometimes get lucky. Time went by pretty quickly that day and soon it was dinnertime and I rushed off to the Dining Hall.

Normally, I wouldn't be eating any meal in the Dinning Hall because of my habits of hitting on any woman I saw. The maids were practically scared of me and most of the soldiers hated my guts, saying I was setting a bad name for the Cealin Knights. I wasn't the only womanizer there, but I was the worst of all of them. When I entered the room that day, any of the maids that saw me almost dropped their platters that they were carrying to tables, probably because they were scared of me and I wasn't supposed to be in there. Every conversation was stopped to look at me when one of the maids dropped their plates. I was pretty used to being stared at but this would make anyone go insane, I mean there was not one person in that room that wasn't staring at me, expecting me to leave. This made me nervous and I started to mess with the headband to keep my mind off the people staring at me. I probably would have left if Kesa hadn't shown up.

I suspected she arrived after I did because she appeared next to me, grabbed my arm and dragged me to an unoccupied table. I almost burst into laughter seeing all the scared, confused, and angry faces. I saw two people run out of the room screaming something about the apocalypse. When we sat down at the table everyone was still staring at us and I heard many comments about me or Kesa. One was that Kesa was insane and the other was that I put Kesa under some kind of spell. I was fidgeting nervously from everyone staring and Kesa was blushing bright pink. We didn't start a conversation based on the fact that the whole room was quiet and everyone would listen to us.

Thankfully the Silence didn't last very long. Kent and his two friends Blue and Gray chose to walk in the Dinning Hall help me out of a bad situation without realizing it. Gray and Blue were twin brothers and were very good soldiers, both recruited a year before me and Kent. They both decided to ask me why I acted the way I did before judging me like everyone else did. Blue was part of the 1st division of cavaliers and wore blue armor. Gray was the best of the 1st division of knights since Wallace had left and he wore grey armor. Their parents either were too lazy to come up with a better original name because of a lack of imagination, unlike my mother (Damn you mother!) or were trying to stick to the tradition of naming their kids after colors, since their father's name was Red.

Kent, Blue and Gray, fell to the floor laughing upon seeing everyone's faces when they entered the room. When all of the attention was turned to my three friends laughing on the floor, I quickly exited the room, unnoticed by all but Kesa, who followed me out and we walked down the hallway. "Heh… Guess I completely forgot you had been banned from the Dinning Hall," she said embarrassed and a little disappointed. "Yeah, they had to tie me up for every meal the first two weeks so I wouldn't show up. And since just about everyone knows who I am, they just stare at me until I leave," I said and laughed a little at it, the past is so funny to look upon, especially mine. "Well, I guess we aren't going to be eating there anymore." "What do you mean by 'We'?" I asked her. "Umm…err..uhhh…I wanted to…" "Don't worry, you don't need to answer that," I said. I heard her sigh in relief, she sure was definitely shy, but yeah, I was used to not being shy, probably because I used to be a womanizer. "So how about we go into town?" I suggested. "Sure, why not."

We left the barracks on my horse to town. Anyone from the military was to carry weapons with them if they left the castle, so I brought and iron sword, a slim sword, and an iron lance. Kesa brought her customized bow, which she usually used, and believe me, it was stronger and lighter than a steel bow. The day would get a lot worse, because it was Saturday, and Saturday's used to be my weekly woman hunting days until today when I got smacked in the face by a frying pan. When we got to town, I tied my horse to a post and we entered the first tavern we came to. When I entered the building all the waitresses ran and hid in the kitchen. "Don't tell me you were banned from this place too," Kesa asked. "No, but I did come here every Saturday…please tell me today is not Saturday" I pleaded out loud. "Umm…Sain, it is Saturday" Kesa said a little confused and curious. "Shit, we need to leave now before the whip-wielding psycho shows up," I said. "Huh…Sain what are you…" Kesa was cut off by insane laughter coming from doorway. "Ah Hell," I said and dragged Kesa with me up the stairs to the empty second level. I was about to jump out the window when Kesa stopped me and glared at me in a way to make me explain. "Okay, in a few seconds you're going to hear a very disturbing laugh and a whip-crack. Both of those are going to be coming from a very insane woman who has been obsessed with me since the beginning of boot camp. I am doing my best to avoid her so nobody gets hurt, so please bear with me." I quickly explained and pleaded. She only nodded.

"Ohohoho, Sain darling, what are you doing with a girl like this? Surely she must have you under some kind of spell" said the very insane girl uncoiling the very evil whip of hers. I swear, she says that I am always under someone's spell just because I don't like her. She is even too insane for my chivalrous personality handle and that is really hard to do. The psycho lashed out at Kesa with her deadly whip of hers. Luckily, I was quick enough to catch the whip with my slim sword and the whip tightened on my sword. "Why do you protect this wretched girl from her deserved punishment, Sain my love?" the insane whip-girl asked. This seemed to really piss off the blue armored archer behind me and soon the psycho had an arrow in each of her legs and the insane girl screamed in pain.

"You know, I never like you since the day I met you, your way too crazy for me to like and so I ask you politely to LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yelled. "Darling, why do you say such things to me? It must be the work of the archer witch behind you." I sighed. "Not to worry, I'll free you from her accursed spell." The psycho said as she lashed out again with a whip that suddenly appeared in her other hand. Taking my iron sword, I cut the whip attached to my slim sword and rushed at the psycho woman. When I reached her I shoved the iron sword into her stomach and took the slim sword that was in my left hand and sliced her head clean off and then backed up to avoid any blood that would fall. Finally, after much annoyance, and many innocents getting hurt because of my womanizing habits, the psycho was gone from existence.

Killing was never a problem for me, the first time it was, but being a soldier, I had to deal with it in order to protect the people. I felt no remorse for this woman, sad as it was, but, I had to do it. She was insane enough to kill anyone in her way so at least I did the world some good by getting rid of one of those people who believe their ways are the only ways. I turned around and saw that Kesa's leg was hit by the whip, which had taken some of the skin with it leaving a heavy bleeding cut. I was thankful for the headband that I wore most of the time and used that to try and stop the bleeding. What sucked was that the night was only going to get worse.

A/N: Okay sorry this took so long to get out, I've just been busy. As for the insane person, that was a rip off of a character from Ranma ½, as I said up top. I if you know who she is good for you, if not, oh well. Thank you for your reviews and I hope you keep reviewing. Don't know how long it will take me to update again since I have to write up the next chapter too.
