Edit: I actually think I kind of like this... Maybe... To explain this, this is set sometime after Zelos pretends to betray the group. Sheena knows he did what he could to fix the situation, but she was hurt when she thought he had betrayed them. Thus, she's trying to distance herself. And is failing at it. Don't know if I wrote Zelos right.
Please pay little attention to moon eclipse shadows's sleep deprived logic author's note at that bottom. But pay attention to some of it. (cough-like-the-please-review-part-cough)
Enjoy. :D I still can't think of a title, so I shall call it: Banter
"Be careful!" A blast of energy destroyed the monster right before it plunged it's claws into Zelos's back.
"What? Oh. Thanks, hunny!" Zelos called back to Sheena with a wink.
Sheena's hand twitched almost unnoticeably. "I told you not to call me that!" she snapped as she swiped at yet another monster with more violence than necessary. This monster, unwilling to face the fate of its comrades, turned and ran away. Sheena made a noise that could have been called a growl(although anyone who had ever heard that noise was wary of mentioning it to her, in this mode she was more likely to hit people) and turned to tackle the next monster. Only to find none left.
Zelos paused for a moment to smirk and recite a witty saying. Sheena wasn't listening. She looked up to see Zelos's face mere inches from her own.
"Were you worried about me?" he asked playfully. His eyes held a strange gleam. The only answer she could come up with was that he was teasing her.
"No!" she replied, horrified. She hated herself for the hot feeling on her face that she knew was a blush. "Just, Just get to work!" Zelos looked somewhat puzzled by her response, but did as he was told.
The ninja grumbled quietly to herself as she searched the ground for valuable items such as beast fangs. Zelos's cheerful whistling as he completed the same task only served to worsen her mood. But instead of becoming more angry she seemed to become sad for a moment, pausing before forcing herself back into her earlier state of frustration. Being angry was easier.
Sheena's eyes traveled over the Chosen, and she failed at holding in her quiet gasp. "You're hurt!" She accused, eyes traveling anxiously over the man's wounded arm.
Zelos, who had first stiffened at her quiet gasp, relaxed once again and chuckled. "You mean this? I forgot about it. It's no big deal, I'll deal with it before we move on....Okay, we can deal with it now." He glanced at Sheena, who had already begun to wrap bandages around the long gash while muttering things like "Stupid idiot Chosen."
"Not worried about me, huh?" he muttered.
Sheena dropped the bandages immediately, face flushing once again. "I'm NOT."
"Okay, then." Zelos picked up the roll of bandages and continued wrapping them from where Sheena had left off. "Say it. Say you don't care about anything that happens to me."
"I don't," Sheena said yet again. At a look from Zelos she continued. "I don't care about anything that happens to you."
"Okay." He turned away from her and walked to where they had left their packs while fighting.
"Wait!" Sheena walked quickly to catch up. "That's it? You're going to believe me? What if I was lying?" she demanded to know.
"Were you?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, I-No!" the purple clad ninja stuttered. "Why don't you just believe me?" Sheena vaugely realized just how much she was contidicting what she had said only moments before,
The Chosen leaned in closer and this time Sheena couldn't bring herself to back away. "Because, Sheena, you are a horrible liar."
And before Sheena could voice a protest(She was too a good liar) he silenced her. But he was cheating. It wasn't very fair of him to kiss her at a time like that. Not fair at all.
Stupid Chosen.
Hmmm... Not sure if I like this or not. Thank you everyone for all the reviews. They made me happy. This started out in my head as a "What if I'm lying, how could you believe me so easily scene", and then became a "Sheena is also still a bit afraid of being hurt by Zelos again because the false betrayal (that happened in the game) hurt her a lot" scene...I don't think the seond part came through too well. I wanted it to be fluffy...but it didn't want to. We fought. The story won.
Would type more but I am tired. It is midnight, I had to write this before it escaped from my head. I just had an awesome choir concert and my feet hurt and I will go to bed now.
PLEASE REVIEW? TO HELP ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT MY HURT FEET? BECAUSE REVIEWS WILL HELP...SOMEHOW. and so you have moon eclipse shadows logic at midnight. And I think I got 4 hours of sleep last night... Yes, sleep, I'm coming back to you now.
