Evelyn Dark: Hey this Evelyn Dark and I'm giving you part two of Yes, M' Lord. I have been taking my sweet time on it apparently. I mean I even got a threatening review, though the person liked my stories, just didn't really like the cliff hangers. Oh well. Now Muse the disclaimer.

Yuan: Evelyn Dark does not own Tales of Symphonia, if she did Kratos would have been chained to a tree so he couldn't go to stupid Derris Karhlon.

Evelyn Dark: Chaa of course I would of have that happen if I did own Tale of Symphonia, but sadly I don't……. Well on to the fic.

Yes, M' Lord Part Two

Lloyd couldn't really remember how he came to be in this little predicament. All he remembered was seeing this man, then next thing he knew was that Genis, Zelos, and he were being whisked off by this man.

The man seemed to be some random traveling guy. He wore some simple faded brown shirt and pants. As well as his brown boots, nothing obviously out of the ordinary for the guy. Except the guy seem to mistaken him for Kratos… wait.. He looked like Kratos; of course he would have mistaken him for the guy.

And the fact that no traveler would just come to the Tower of Salvation, because he never met a person who would waltz up to it like he did it everyday. From there they had been traveling for a good two days or more.

Genis was starting get nervous, for two reasons. Reason number one: Obviously this guy knew Kratos because he was talking to Lloyd, who looked like Kratos, like they were best buddies. That pretty much scared Genis, because for all time he had traveled with the mercenary he never once found someone who talk to the guy without getting a glare from the guy or shrugging him off, even if Lloyd was able to do that but he didn't count considering that he was his son.

And reason number two: They were gone for two days now, and surely Raine would be worried and when they did meet up with the others. Genis knew that he wasn't going to be able to sit down in weeks.

So there they are walking down a dirt path, that they had never been to even Zelos hadn't been to this part of his world. The traveler and Lloyd were in the front of the party. The guy chatting away happily, talking of good times, while Lloyd just walked beside him like he wished he was somewhere else. Either the guy saw that look all over Lloyds face, which at the moment looked like Kratos's face, like it was usual, or the guy just wasn't paying attention.

Genis and Zelos were in the back of the party trying to keep there distance from the man. Genis looked over to Zelos who was watching the two in amusement.

"I wanted to thank you Kratos for your help 5 years ago, when you got rid of that monster that plagued my fields." The man said giving Lloyd a deep bow. Genis and Zelos stopped and listened to what the man had to say. "But I'm sad to say that a new monster has come to destroy my precious fields. It's a disaster, I know I'm asking much of you but could you please help me."

The man looked at Lloyd with pleading eyes, it was hard for Lloyd not to give in. But thankfully he didn't have to say a thing because Zelos was going to be talking for him.

"We would love to help you, umm… we didn't catch your name." Zelos inquired. Genis knew that Zelos got another one of his schemes to put into action. Genis just silently sighed to himself. The man widened his eyes, forgetting the other two.

"Oh my apologies, my name is Victor Craw." Said the man, he gave a deep bow to the two. Then he turned to Kratos. "Thank you,"

"So uh… Victor, how long has this monster been around," Zelos asked the man.

"Well this had been going on since last week. I remembered how Kratos was generous enough to help me out the first time. I thought that I should seek for his aid again. And it just so happened that I found him exactly were I found you guys. I'm so glad that I could find you Kratos. Please let us hurry to my home. I left my son in charge of keeping everything in check." with that they set off to Victor's house.

Later on the day they had finally arrived to Victor's home. There they were greeted by a young women. She had a simple brown dress and apron. Her golden hair was braided, and her brown eyes shinned with happiness to have her father home again.

The place was simple as the people who lived there, a brown house and barn. With its vast fields laid in the back of the two buildings. From here the three could see the damage that had happened because of the monster. Then right behind the damaged fields was a forest.

Victor turned to the three and spread his hands open in greeting. "Welcome to my humble home,"

"Talk about humble," Zelos whispered, to quite for Victor to hear but loud enough for just Lloyd to hear. Lloyd glared at Zelos maliciously, making the red head flinch. Lloyd then walked off after Victor.

Victor walked over to the girl and introduced her to the two who haven't met her before. Her name was Vanilla, from that Zelos walked over to her with his eyes full of hearts and made a remake that landed him a smack. There Genis just shook his head in disappointment, Zelos caressing his blue and purple face, while Lloyd just stood there trying to keep his face straight and not laugh out uncontrollably.

A teenager around Lloyds age came out of the barn with a pitch fork in his hand and came over to Victor and giving a quick look at Kratos than averting his gaze from him.

"Ahhh you remember my son Guy," Victor exclaimed patting his son on the shoulder.

"…."

"As talkative as ever Kratos," Victor grumbled to himself, but he couldn't flat out say that out loud. In fear Kratos would feel insulted and not help him.

"It's good to see you again Mr. Kratos," mumbled Guy, still having his eyes averted from Lloyd. Lloyd kept his blank face on, but inside he wondered why Guy wouldn't look at him.

"Hmmmm.. Well than since we've been introduced I bet it would be better to get rid of that fowl beast of yours." said Zelos after recovering from the smack across the face, though it still was blue and purple. Victor perked up from the mentioning of the monster.

"Yes, please but first it has been a long travel, it be best to recover your strength from it," Victor said. Genis wasn't about to complain and followed the man to his house ready for some good sleep.

When morning came Genis was still to tired to comprehend as to what happened. Later he found Zelos, Lloyd, and himself in front of the forest were the monster rested. Rubbing some sleep from his eyes, he started to remember being dragged by Zelos to the forest, while Lloyd just calmly walked over to the forest after them. Genis had to say that he was impressed in Lloyd's acting skills. Genis was sure that Lloyd would crack his Kratos act, but instead he kept it up. Though he hadn't said a word, but that really didn't matter.

Genis just stared blankly at the forest, its dark green canopy obscuring the light from shining down the floor. It gave off a foreboding presence, that threatened any who entered to be lost inside of it never to see the light again. The longer he looked at it the more scared he became. Sensing that the half-elf, was scared of the forest; Zelos gave the guy a little push, more like a shove to be exact. Genis feel onto the floor, realizing that he was on the forest floor, Genis scrambled to the exit of the forest only to have Zelos grab a hold of his waist and drag him deeper into the forest floor.

"Let me go Zelos, I don't want to go in there," Yelled the squirming mage, but all of that was a wasted effort. Zelos seemed to have a firm hold on the boy, and wasn't about to let him go.

"All right come on lets go," Zelos exclaimed raising his free hand into the air. "Come on 'Kratos' we got a monster to kill, then my sweet Vanilla will give a kiss to her hero who saved her fields," Zelos eyes turned into hearts, while Genis just sighed, stopping his struggle since it was no use.

Lloyd looked at the forest then at the form of Zelos and Genis. Giving one last glance at the place, he ran to catch up to the others. But Lloyd couldn't help get the feeling that there was more to the forest then what meets the eyes.

Author Notes-

Evelyn Dark: Hey guys, I was pretty much writing this while I was playing Avatar: Elemental Escape. I'm a multi-tasker. And SilverMoon888 I lied when I said that there was no way for me to make this into a cliff hanger, so I'm ready for the threatening. But then again Muse pretty much was the one who lied to you cause he was the one to say that there was no way.

Yuan: I'm not a liar, I just simply made a guess, and you said yes to it, so you're the liar.

Evelyn Dark: Whatever, we both lied okay. I should have the next chapter up by Wednesday. And I do realize that Victor Craw is from Harry Potter, so Uh…. I couldn't come up with a name so I took it from the Harry Potter book. So um.. Review please.

Yes, M' Lord Part 3:

Zelos, Genis, and Lloyd are going to have fun in the forest. And meet up with mister I'm-going-to-eat-you-alive-and-poop-you-out-of-my-rear-end.

Evelyn Dark: This chapter has been edited June 30, 2008. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. : )
