Lloyd: And your happy why?

Me: Shut up! If you must know its because the story has only been up for a day. But please people, if you are going to read then please comment( no flames plz).

Lloyd: oh. i'm taking thats pretty good.

Me: yep and people have asked if this is a KratosxOC fic. YES!! it is!

Lloyd: Thats just freaky.

Me: Why?

Lloyd: Cause your still in high school and yet you have a crush on my dad.

Me: I can't help it if Kratos is HOT!

Lloyd: sigh its still scary.

Me: Oh and thanks for the idea of putting Cloud back into the story. I think I will do later but probably not for a few chapters. Ok?

Lloyd: isn't that your bird?

Me: Yes. now shut up and say the disclaimer.

Lloyd: sigh Jen Rem does not own ToS or anything related to FF except Tiamatt and the sword that she uses.

Me: Thank you and on with the story!

"We'll have to go through the Ossa Trail to get to Izoold. Everyone be careful." Kratos warned as we neared the mountian pass. Suddenly a female ninja appeared and blocked our path, Sheena.

"Is the chosen of mana among you?" Sheena asked, standing ready for a fight.

"Oh that's me!" Collete blurted, stepping forward towards the ninja.

"Then prepare to die!" Sheena rushed at Collete, who stepped bac nervously, tripping over a hidden switch that opened a trap door. Sheena promptly disappeared into the the mine shaft.

"Oh no! I hope she's ok!" The chosen cried as she peered into the hole.

"According to my calculations, she should be fine."Genis reassured her. Lloyd, Raine, Kratos, and I all sighed.

"We should get moving." Kratos reminded, trying to get everyonr back on track.

"I hope she's ok so that we can be friends." Collete said as she walked away from the mine shaft. Lloyd and Genis shook their heads.

"She just tried to kill you, Collete." Lloyd reminded her. Collet looked at him and blinked.

" I know but we could still be friends." she mummered. Everyone snickered slightly at Collete hopefulness.

We made our way through the trail, battling monsters as needed. As we approuched the end of the trail, i remembered that Sheena would be waiting. However, I was still caught off guard. As she appered from the cave, I stumbled, falling into Kratos, who caught me. I looked up into his eyes and once again, my heart flipped flopped. I saw him smile slightly as he helped me bcak to my feet.

"Sorry." i blushed.

"It's ok." Kratos replied, shrugging like nothing had happened.

"Now it is time for you to die!" Kratos and I looked up to see th ninja charge at the party with a gurdian at her side.

Kratos and I drew our swords, grinning at each other. Sheena dodged Lloyd and Collete's attacks, easily deflected Genis' kendema and flipped our to us, so that she faced us. Sheena smiled as she saw the looks me and Kratos gave each other.

"You know," Sheena blocked my blows with her magic infused card."you two make a cute couple." I blinked and glanced at Kratos.

"Ahh..." I didn't know how to react. I blocked another blow as a cry from her guardian signaled its demise.

"Its obvious that you like each other." Sheena added as Lloyd and the others joined us, encircling the ninja. Damn! I promise that the next time we meet that you willdie, chosen!" Sheena then disappeared in a poof of smoke.

"That was strange." Genis blinked.

"I wonder who she is?" added Lloyd.

"Those clothes..." the Professor mumbled to herself.

"What is it Professor?" Lloyd asked. Raine looked at her student and shook her head.

" It's nothig. Come on, we're almost to Izoold." Raine answered, walking away fromthe mine that Sheena had appeared from.

"..." Kratos thought about what Raine had said and then followed everyone out of the trail.

I stood there, thinking about what Sheena had said. Was it truely obvious that we liked each other? Did Kratos like me? I sighed, smiling and looked up to find that everyone was now out of my field of vision.

"Shit!" How was I going to catch up. I thought for a moment and relized now was the perfect time to test one of Tiamatt's abilities, the power of transformation. My first thought was to go dragon but why not go for something more interesting, say the lionlike animal from FF7 that Red XIII was.

Closing my eyes, I concentrated on that form and immediatly fetl my bones shift. I fell to all fours, watching my hands turn into paws and fur creeped over my body. I looked behind me and watched the long tail sprout fom my spine. Within a minute, the transformation was complete and I looked at my reflection in a puddle. Red fur covered my entire four legged form. A long mohawk like mane hung over my neck and over my left eye. My long tail ened in flame. I noticed that all my gear had disappeared during the transformation except for the pendent that continued to hang around my neck.

"I hope I remember to return to normal before I get to close to the group." I told myself. I Shook my fur and took off out of the trail after my friends.

I ran across the plains, defeating any monster that challanged me on my way. As I peaked a hill, I could see the others looking for me but the stubborn protozoan refused. I sat down and concentrated on my human form but after five minutes, nothing had happened.

"What the hell? Why can't I change back!?"I cried. I tried agian but failed once more, and roared in frustration. The entire group froze and looked up at my hill. "Shit!" I crouched down low to avoid being seen. I thought about my current situation and decided I better face the group and hope that they didn't kill me. I leaped over the crown of the hill, and ran down it's side, calling my friends' names. Collete looked up and poineted at me.

"Look! Isn't that one of those Ktugach things?" Everyone looked up at me and drew their weapons.

"Lloyd, Genis, Collete!"

"Wait , is it just me or did it just say me name?" Genis paused.

"I thought monsters couldn't talk." Lloyd said, turnign towards Kratos for an answer. Kratos shook his head.

" A majority of monsters can't adn Ktugachs have never been recorded speaking." Kratos answered.

"Here it comes!" Lloyd turned back towards me, swords ready.

"Kratos!" Kratos' intense gazr softened as he rocognized the voice.

"Tiamatt?" Kratos questioned as I slid to a stop and sat on my haunches. My ears lowered slightly as I gave a nervous grin.

"ahh... Hey guys."

Lloyd: Thats so cool! I wish I could into something!

Me: how bout you grow some brains, then you'll change into something.

Lloyd: really? what?

Me: Lloyd, your an idiot.

Lloyd: I am not!

Me: yes you are! even if you did stay awake in class you would still be an idiot.

Lloyd: i can't help that the Professor's lessons are boring

(Suddenly Raine appears and slaps Lloyd)

Lloyd: Ow!

Me: thanks Raine

Raine: No problem.

Me: Anyways, now its time for more randomness. ready?

Moo with me!

Raine and Lloyd: (anime style embarassment drops)

Me: Hahaha! R and R plz!
