After finishing up my last mission for the night, I got ready to meet up with Sheik for our dinner date. Dinner date… I couldn't help but smile at the thought. I wonder where she got that idea from. I'd gladly go for a sparring session or two, just name the time and place, but hey, I can be romantic, too. Honestly, I'd take any chance I can get just to be with the one I adore. I had a feeling she thought the same way, and that really motivated me.
I could be getting thrashed in a fight, unable to find the strength to go on, but the instant I think about her I'm filled with energy, and suddenly my opponents are begging for mercy. It's not just fighting, either. I'm a better person because she believes in me. And before I knew it, I learned to believe in myself. Even if she can't always be by my side, knowing that she's cheering for me, thinking about me, is enough to get me through anything. I wonder if it's the same for her, too. I'd better hurry, I'm sure she's waiting for me.
I was heading down the hall when a voice stopped me in my tracks.
"Care for a little brawl? Or are you off to cuddle with your sweetheart?" Bayonetta taunted with a smirk.
I breathed out calmly, then smirked right back at her. "Don't know about you, but that sounds like a victory to me."
And I continued on my way.
