Kindness And Violence!
By TeelaZainElmes!
Velita: Teela forgot about me. How rude! I can't believe it. Well this is the next installment of her A/U ficcie. This takes place two months later She would like to thank anyone who reviewed and… Huh? How do I know what she wants? Cause I'm a telepath. Duh. Actually I'm her sister and I always know. **Grins evily** she doesn't own MK. And oh yes, to quote, "R&R Pwease! ^_^!" There.
Teela: **is tied up and gagged glaring at Velita**
Zero lounged his bedroom, bored. There were no battle plans, nothing big going on, and he was really bored. And boredom gave him time to think. Zero never liked thinking much. Especially now. He began to dread these times to think. Teela would always somehow drift into his thoughts.
Her eyes always caught his attention. He heard somewhere that the eyes were, "the windows to the soul." With Teela, that was true. When he looked into her eyes he saw a strong passionate woman who truly hated this war. A girl trapped within her life longing to be free.
When he had let her out of that cell he had a glimpse of that freedom.
He sat up suddenly. He had to see her. She had plagued his mind for the last two months. He'd send message with the milkman asking her to meet him. By the creek. The peace spot.
He glanced at the clock and groaned. He had three more hours before the milkman came. Then he got an idea. He'd go out riding. Yeah, go riding and bring Tressa to yak his ear off.
Four days later….
He was at the creek, feet dangling in the water. He hoped she would meet him. As if the fates had heard his prayer, the sound of a twig cracking caught his attention. He looked to the side to see Teela carefully making her way over to him.
She was dressed in a simple blue dress and her green cloak. Her hair was done up in an elegant fashion of braids piled atop her head with some hanging down. To Zero she looked like a goddess.
"You wanted see me your highness?" she said jokingly doing a little curtsey.
He grinned at her.
"Is there a reason?" she added.
Her gaze strayed to the water. That gaze that gave away every emotion. Right now she pitied the world, and all it's creatures.
"You don't have to feel sorry for them, you know."
"W- Wh- What?" she stammered a bit startled.
"You don't have to feel sorry for everyone."
"Yes I do. They don't understand how awful this war really is. Pride keeps them going. Pride blinds them. Winning isn't everything. Someone should just give up to save lives. I pity them. Pity them for their foolish pride."
"So you are against pride?" He raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not against pride, but I don't believe that's what wars should be fought on."
"That is what war is. It's how it gets started. One nation takes pride in itself and thinks it can beat up on all the other nations. That's what all wars are based upon, sadly enough."
"That is why I pity them. They can't see what they're doing. That they're losing lives and loved ones for some foolish pride." She glared at the water.
"You know, you seem to deep to be a princess."
A small smile began to form, "I never asked to royalty. I was born into. I should be the heir to the throne though. I came first. But Hiead was a male and came into the world about five minutes after me. Beside I never showed an interest to rule. I'm perfectly with my brother taking over."
"You and Gner are twins?"
She nodded.
"Wow! I mean you are both so different."
"We made different choices, chose different paths."
"Well, I like the way you turned out. Smart, nice, beautiful."
Teela blushed slightly. "You aren't too bad yourself Enna. I expected you to be a monster like Hiead, but you're not. You are just the opposite. Kind, caring, easy going, cute."
It was Zero's turn to blush. They sat there in silence for awhile. Just listening to the sounds of the water running.
"I'd say yes, you know?"
"Say yes to what?"
"I thought about it. If you had offered to get married. I'd say yes. I want this war to end just as much as you do."
Teela looked at him. He'd been staring at her intently the whole time he spoke.
"Zero… That's sweet of you, but I wouldn't do that. I believe that everyone should marry someone they love. Arranged marriages are horrible."
"World peace and true love, the most impossible ideals someone could have, yet the ones everyone wants."
They both sighed.
"So where do we go from here?" Teela asked.
"I wish I knew. I guess it's up to the Fates to decide."
"When in desperate need leave it up to the Goddesses and pray that they save you." (Did anyone catch that hidden meaning?)
They stood up. Teela brushed herself off.
"Hey uh Teela? Could I … You know, maybe talk to… you… again sometime? Like this?"
"Sure! Same time next week?! Maybe we could make it a picnnic!" she sounded excited.
And in her eyes he saw that freedom again. That freedom that he himself longed for her to have. And next to her newfound freedom was pure happiness.
He grabbed her arm as she turned to leave, drawing her close to him. She shot him a quizzical look.
"Teela I have a question."
"Yes," she breathed.
Night had begun to fall and the sky darkened. The birds and furry woodland creature ceased movement, almost as if they too wanted to hear the young prince's question.
"Would it be terribly wrong if I were to kiss you?"
"No"
Her answer was hardly heard. Even as he leaned in and kissed her gently on her lips.
Teela always thought herself a strong woman, but in his grasp she felt helpless. His lips against hers was so… right. The only thing she could do was respond with even more passion. His first kiss had been gentle, but she deepened it allowing her emotions to take over.
Taking a deep breath when they pulled apart the princess was at a loss for what to do. Never in her life had she felt this way. She shivered slightly as he slid his arms around her waist and kissed her again. Always so gentle.
The howl of a wolf somewhere could be heard, reminding Teela of the actual time.
"Zero stop," she whispered.
"Did I do something wrong?"
"No. I- I just have to get back. Ever since my disappearance I'm alowed to go outside, but only until the sun sets. I have to get back."
"Oh"
He let her go and she began to walk away. Suddenly she turned back and gave him one last kiss, before running back in the direction of Megami.
Zero stared after her with a sigh. He'd gone and done it now. He had fallen in love with his enemy.
Teela: Yay! Sorry about Vel, she hates it when she doesn't get enough attention. How was that. This chapter I had actually written differently, but I like lost the last two pages so I adlibbed and I think it turned out even better. Arigato Minna-san. R&R Pwease! ^_^
