A/N: Hello everybody! Smurf2005 here with a brand new chapter to my story! I am so sorry that it took me so long to update. My computer went on the fritz and I lost everything. It's a good thing I hadn't started on this chapter. And it might not be as long as the first chapter. I don't have Microsoft Word on my computer anymore, and I lost the disk. It's probably around somewhere. And I can't get Word Perfect installed on my computer.... So, I am using Word Pad right now. It get the job done I guess. Anyways, this chapter is about Sheena. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Tales of Symphonia. Namco does. If I did, Lloyd wouldn't be such an idiot.

Part Two

"Dad!" Lloyd yelled, getting up.

"Hello Lloyd. You look well," Kratos said.

He looked over at Sheena and smiled.

"Hello Kratos," Sheena said.

"Hello Sheena. You look well, too."

"Dad! What are you doing back here?" Lloyd asked.

Kratos walked over to the bench where Sheena was sitting and sat down.

"Well, I missed you. And I got a bit lonely. So, I thought I would come back and get to know my son. The more I thought about it, the more I realized I didn't know my son."

They were all quiet. Sheena was little upset that her alone time with Lloyd was interrupted. She was thinking of telling him her feelings, but the appearance of Kratos ruined it. But, she was happy that Kratos was back. She knew how much Lloyd missed him. And she wanted Lloyd to be happy.

"Sheena? Are you ok?" Lloyd asked.

She shook her head and looked over at him. Lloyd and Kratos looked a little concerned. She must have really been out of it.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Sheena said, forcing a smile. "But, I think I am going to go back to the inn. I am a bit tired.

"How about we all go," Lloyd said, standing up.

He held out his hand to Sheena. Sheena was a little shocked. But she smiled and took. She glanced over at Kratos and noticed that he was smirking. It was like he knew her feelings for Lloyd. And she was guessing that he did know. Sheena wasn't actually hiding it. The only person who didn't seem to notice was Lloyd. Lloyd always seemed to be a little dense. But, she still loved him.

When they reached the inn, Sheena said good night to Kratos and Lloyd and went into her room as quickly as possible, but not too quickly that it looked suspicious. She shut the door and leaned against it and slowly slid down it. What was going on with her? She always seemed so sure of herself. Why couldn't she tell Lloyd right out that she loved him? She answered that question. It was because Kratos was there. And before that was because she couldn't find the right time to tell him. They were always so busy. She sighed and placed her forehead on her knees.

"I am such an idiot," she said out loud.

About an hour later, there was a knock on her door. She stood up and faced the door. Who could be calling on her this late? And boy, was she stiff. Whoever it was, knocked again. She opened the door and found herself face to face with Kratos.

"Kratos! What are you doing here? Where's Lloyd?" she asked.

"Lloyd has fallen asleep," Kratos said. "But I came over to talk to you. Is it ok if I come in?"

Sheena stepped back and let Kratos into the room. Kratos sat at the little table in her room and Sheena sat across from him.

"What did you want to talk about?" Sheena asked when Kratos didn't say anything.

"About Lloyd," Kratos said. "It is obvious that you love him, but he doesn't seem to notice. Sheena, were you planning on telling him tonight?"

Sheena was quiet. So, he did notice. Damn him! He ruined it all!

"Yes. I was going to tell him. I wanted him to know. This is the first time I have this way about anyone. I just don't want to miss my chance to tell him."

"You have been traveling with him for two years. Why haven't you told him yet?" Kratos asked.

"There was never a chance to tell him. I mean, we have been so busy," Sheena said. "I want to tell him. I want him to know."

Kratos was quiet. He didn't say anything. He poured himself some water and sipped it in silence. Sheena was feeling a little awkward. Here she was, sitting with the father of the boy she loved. He was the same one that betrayed them when Colette was on the Journey of Regeneration. But, he seemed different now. He seemed much gentler. Maybe it was because he was starting to act like a real father now. But it just seemed weird. Kratos seemed to know that Sheena had feelings for Lloyd. What about Dirk, though? Could he tell? She was lost in thought, and didn't notice that Kratos was watching her closely. He chuckled and that brought Sheena out of her reverie.

"Were you laughing at me?" she asked, a little offended.

"Yes, I was actually. It was just so weird seeing you lost in thought like that. We usually don't see that. I'm not saying that you are stupid or anything," Kratos said hastily, seeing Sheena's offended face, "I just meant that we usually see you in action. Lloyd told me that he was surprised that you could fight with paper."

"Lloyd told me the same thing, back when I took them to Mizuho for the first time. I think around that time, I was falling for him. I don't know when it happened. I just woke up one morning and realized that I loved him."

Sheena didn't know why she was spilling her guts to Kratos. The angel just sat there, drinking his water and listening to Sheena.

"Sheena, you should tell him," Kratos said.

"I know that Kratos. But, I don't know when I am going to tell him. Zelos is here. And I think Zelos is in love with me. I don't know what I am going to do. I think it's obvious that I don't love Zelos, but I think he will keep pursuing me. I need to tell Zelos that I am not interested before I tell Lloyd."

"You are going around and seeing all your companions, right?" Kratos asked.

"Yes, of course we are. We are taking a break for right now. We have been working so hard," Sheena said. "Why? Do you want spend some time with Lloyd?"

"Well, I was going to join you and travel with you, but, I was thinking that we could go to Altamira together," Kratos said, then you and Lloyd could go see the theater and you could tell him then."

"So, it would be like a date," Sheena said to herself.

"Exactly. You might have a better chance of telling him that way," Kratos said.

"Yes, you're right about that, Kratos."

"Well, I let you get some sleep. I will see you in the morning," Kratos said. "Good night."

"Good night Kratos," Sheena said.

Kratos flashed her a smile and left her room.

A/N: So? What did you think of this chapter? Sheena and Kratos had a heart to heart conversation. I love Zelos, but, I don't think he needs to be with Sheena. I might write a story with them together later. I don't know. It is 2 am, I should probably get some sleep. I am a little tired. Well, I really have nothing to say here, so I guess I will say what I say at the end of every story. Read and review. As always, constructive criticism is welcome but flames are not welcome.
