Mr.Who2123: What's up my friends! This is my second update today, and I might do a third if I'm not distracted. Okay, it is my disclaimer time! Come, Sheena!

Sheena: Hey, Mr.Who2123

Kratos: You better just say the disclaimers before you get hurt, Sheena.

Sheena: Why? Mr.Who2123 seems nice…

(Kratos points to a dead Raine and Lloyd, Genis and Regal are in fetal positions and muttering, Presea is muttering about her calculations incorrect, and Zelos is muttering about how Mr.Who2123 is a threat to men.)

Sheena: Wow, she did that?

Kratos: Yeah…

Mr.Who2123: Sheena! I want a doughnut!

Sheena: Okay…I summon thee, the master of sweets, Come DOUGHNUT!

(Doughnut appears in her hand)

Sheena: Here…

Mr.Who2123: Doughnut! (Obliterates doughnut…poor doughnut) Now it's time for disclaimers!

Sheena: Mr.Who2123 does not own Tales of Symphonia, but if she did, she'd own Tales of Phantasia, too. (A stupid comment…)

Kratos: …

Mr.Who2123: Let's begin!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Izoold (I swear they are there this time!)

Kratos let his embrace with Anna end as he drew back and wiped the few tears he had shed.

"Thank you, Anna," he said as he stood up. "We're probably going to land in Izoold soon, so get your things ready," and with that, Kratos left. Anna stared at the place Kratos was seconds ago.

"Poor guy," she said as she gathered her items. Kratos was gazing at Izoold now, but the sight of the village made him angry. He tried to tell himself that it was for Anna's own good, but he liked her presence. He enjoyed speaking with her, laughing with her, or even feeling sad for her. Kratos wished he could just turn the ship around, but he shook his feelings away. I have a job to do, he thought.

The boat finally made it to Izoold, and the sailors were bustling about, bringing cargo and other items to Izoold. Anna felt much better after jumping onto land, and did one of her twirls.

"Kratos, it's nice here! I might like it!" she exclaimed as she breathed in deeply. Kratos smiled, and brought Noishe out of the boat. He was extremely tired, and fell asleep at Kratos' feet when they stopped walking.

"He couldn't sleep last night," he explained as he woke the protozoan. Noishe looked up at him, and then whined in annoyance.

"I'm sorry, Noishe, but you can sleep at the inn," he said in response to Noishe's whine. Noishe trudged with Anna and Kratos to the inn, and got a room quickly to let Noishe sleep.

"Anna, let's go to the beach," Kratos suggested as he took off his cloak. Anna nodded, and walked with Kratos out of the room.

Anna noticed Kratos' look of sadness as the two walked along the sandy shore. No one was outside, and the beach seemed deserted.

"Hey, cheer up! You're going to get rid of me! You should be happy!" she assured the mercenary, but he just shook his head.

"That's why I'm not very jubilant right now. I like it when you're with me…and I'll miss you," he replied in his monotone voice. Anna threw an arm over his shoulder.

"You should stay and help me start my life," she said, and Kratos smiled. He felt he was smiling too much.

"Not now, Anna. The innkeeper said he'd take care of you until you get you're house," he replied. "Remember, I have to save the two worlds."

"Oh, yeah. I keep forgetting that you are trying to save the two worlds. Well, I guess it will be good bye for awhile, then?" she said as she dug her toes into the soft sand.

Anna sat down and made herself comfortable in the sand, and Kratos followed her example. The cool waves covered their feet, and then slowly retreated towards the ocean. The water repeated itself, coming back and forth, back and forth.

"Anna, I'll have to go soon," Kratos suddenly said, his gaze on the clouds above them.

"Alright, I understand," she replied in a small voice. Kratos got up and grabbed his things, and woke up Noishe.

"We have to save the worlds, Noishe," Kratos whispered into the protozoan's wing like ear, and it stood up and stretched from its short nap.

Anna was waiting outside as Kratos left the inn with all his belongings in hand.

"Bye, Anna," he said. Noishe whined softly and licked Anna. She knelt down and hugged the "dog", wrapping her arms around his furry chest.

"Bye, Kratos," she slowly said as she got up just as slow. Anna threw her arms around Kratos and hugged him. Kratos was shocked, but returned the embrace with his own.

"Alright, Anna. I'm going now," he said as he let go of her shoulders. "Try not to mess up things too bad," he smiled. Anna smiled back and waved goodbye to her two friends as they disappeared into the horizon.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Mr.Who2123: Why am I so into the emotion thing?

Kratos: I like hugging Anna…

Mr.Who2123: We are talking about my problems, not yours!

Kratos: …

Sheena: Who wants doughnuts and root beer?

Mr.Who2123: Oh! Me, me, me!

Kratos: I would like some as well.

Sheena: Alright! I summon thee, master of sweets and goddess of beverages, come DOUGHNUT AND ROOT BEER!

(Root beer and doughnuts are in her hands)

Sheena: Eat up!

(The three eat up the dozen doughnuts and three two liter bottles of root beer)

Mr.Who2123: I think I'm (hiccup) drunk!

Kratos: I've been drunk before. This is worse!

Sheena: Ahhhh…review please!
