Summary: Sharing a body between two souls will always have conflict, worse when neither is fighting for it. Drabbles about Lambda and Asbel's relationship during and after the game.

A/N: I tried my best on this one but I am starting to loose interest in this story, probably because my interests are moving elsewhere. I guess its kinda hard when the game doesn't continue on or when I haven't played it for a while. I'm still trying to get to 20, my cutting off point, and I do have the last chapter of it already planned out, which is supposed to be epic, so hopefully I'll make it. Continue to give me ideas that I can hopefully work with!

Enjoy.

Lambda had never really approved of Asbel's relationship with that pink-haired woman. He found her too needy, too annoying to his tastes. While the redhead would fawn over her, he just made some disgruntled noises in the background where only his host could hear. He didn't see what was so great about her at all, but maybe it was because Asbel's mind was already messed up as it was.

He gave a huff when he saw his host stumble over himself to say a few words, trying to ask the other out on a date. It was ridiculous. Lambda just continued to watch and observed, having nothing better to do than to just sleep and even that got boring after a while. It didn't take long for him to realize that whenever Cheria was around, he would never be in control of their shared body. It was like an unmentioned rule or something and he didn't care much for it. It wasn't as if he wanted to see her anyway. Asbel may like her, but he didn't.

Though there were some of those good points of her being motherly and caring, but at times, he just wanted to strangle her himself. It was true that among everyone, she could keep Asbel in line, him being second on that. Lambda sighed as he stretched against the back wall of the mansion, shaded from the bright sun above. All the work for today had been finished, giving him more than enough free time to enjoy a nap. He knew for a fact that Asbel within was already taking advantage of this free time, enjoying it to the fullest, and Lambda couldn't blame him. Still, as he peered up at the bright blue sky, his mind began to drift just like the clouds above. A bird or two would fly into his vision and then vanished behind a tree or the roof, never to be seen again. A couple of times a gust of wind would blow by to rustle his red hair and lull him to sleep, closing his eyes as he relaxed into the gentle breeze that seemed to calm down his rushing mind.

His ears picked up the sounds of the leaves rustling, the bugs chirping, and the birds singing. It was just peaceful, absolutely peaceful. Relaxing further into the tranquility, he didn't pick up the sounds of footsteps heading towards his direction until it was too late.

"Asbel, how many times have I told you not to sleep out here like that?"

'Oh great.' Lambda mentally grumbled and pushed towards his sleeping host to stir him awake. He didn't want to deal with this right now and yet, no matter what he tried, Asbel remained asleep. He gave a grunt and peeked one eye open to glance up at the intruder, resisting the action of doing something that would be considered stupid.

Cheria stood there with a disappointed expression, hands on her hips. "Asbel, you're going to catch a cold at this rate."

'Better make an escape before she finds out that I'm in control.' Lambda glanced around the area for an opening, sitting up. He had always known, that despite Asbel and Cheria dating, it was clear she wasn't fond of him and he couldn't exactly blame her considering he would always be there watching. It was clear that whenever he was mentioned, there was fear running through her eyes. He was certain that she believed that one day, he would take over and Asbel would never be seen again. 'Such foolish ideals, I would never destroy him. I consider him a close friend.'

"Hey, are you going to answer me?" Cheria huffed, stepping around so that she could face the other.

Lambda didn't say a word and eventually stood up, having spotted an exit. It was now or never and he had no plans on freaking Cheria out with his surprising sarcastic appearance. He would be yelled at later by Asbel if he did and there was no escaping those lectures considering they lived within the same body. At least, if he freaked her out by running away, he had an excuse. After all, between him and Asbel, it was clear who was actually smarter. Taking his mark, within seconds he was dashing off, running into the trees behind the mansion at the side. There was a startled yelp from behind, Cheria gasping out in shock from such an action, and before long, he vanished within the heavy trees. He ran quickly, sidestepping anything that got into his way until he reached an open field of sorts. It was about a twenty-minute run, but he wasn't out of breath, it was just a simple exercise. Stepping out into the center, the sun shining brightly on his form, he flopped down onto the ground with his arms spread out above his head. Closing his eyes, he drifted off once more, feeling the peace return back to him at long last, and maneuvered his arms under his head.

He'll let his host deal with the woman later; the argument between them will serve as good entertainment. For now, he just wanted to get some sleep in the warm sun.
