Dreaming and Chasing Promises

Chapter XII

Sweet and Low

"What is love? What is strife? What is a knack for riding horses?"

Yuan felt sick, he felt sicker than he'd ever felt in his entire life, Martel was glaring down at him, and his night before came back to him. He sat up slowly and unsure, a head ache pounding. He rubbed his head and groaned, beginning to pull dry leaves out of his hair.

"Yuan." Martel said, in a voice that said he was in trouble.

"Yes?"

"If you don't go and find Kratos I'm going to hurt you." Yuan flopped over.

"He doesn't want to see me."

"Yuan." she warned.

"We don't even know where he is."

"He's with Genis, headed towards Iselia."

"So he's going to have a great, big memory-inducing tearful reunion with his son, whoop-dee-freakin-doo." Martel glared.

"Yuan, Kratos loves you."

"He thinks I'm a liar and not really me."

"At the current time he does, when he reaches Iselia it may be a different story."

"So your saying I should arrive after said tearful reunion in hopes we may have a tearful reunion?"

"That would sum up my feelings, yes."

"Hell no." she began to kick him, "That hurts."

"I know it does, and I will follow you around for all of eternity kicking you unless you go to Iselia to meet up with Kratos." Yuan glared and sat up.

"Psychotic bitch." Martel glared down.

"What was that?"

"Nothing." he stood up and dusted himself off, "Look, I'll go to Iselia, don't expect anything." Martel smiled sweetly.

"Good, now leave before I decided to do something dangerous."

"I'm going, I'm going."

"So how far to... Iselia?" he tested the word unsure.

"Well, it's a long journey if we're on foot, luckily, we won't be."

"What do you mean?"

"My friend, Sheena, is going to do us a favor, by summoning Aska to fly us there."

"Aska?" he asked incredulously, "Aska doesn't exist!"

"Shows how much you know!" he turned, surprised to see a ninja women standing on the wall above them, "Geez, Genis, you weren't joking about him." she jumped down with an acrobatic ease to stand in front of them.

"Kratos, this is Sheena, I've mentioned her."

"Uh... yeah." Kratos replied, his face slightly ashen as he tried not to stare.

"Dammit Kratos! You're loyal to Yuan! You must carry his man babies!"

"What?" Kratos asked his voice blankly.

"Huh?" Genis asked.

"Oh no, I wasn't talking to you, just the voice."

"You must find Yuan and let him fuck you! You must! You must! You must!"

"It's name is Anna, and it's not sounding so logical anymore." Genis and Sheena looked at each other worriedly.

"Yeah Kratos, it's best not to listen to Anna..."

"I'll... erm, just summon Aska now." Sheena said, pondering on why she kept getting into these uncomfortable situations.

"What is it you wish, summoner?"

"Carry Genis and Kratos to Iselia!"

"As you wish." with that, they were off, Genis smiling in delight and Kratos screaming in horror.

AN: Oh... so short, but it's something, right? Sorry it's been awhile, my computer died and I lost all my files of this story, so now I have to make up as I go along, (I did try to replan it, but that didn't work out well, it's also why it took so long for this chapter to get to you guys.)

Thoughts of the day: My grandma bought me this book "The Good Earth" and told me she'll pay me five bucks to read it. She insists it's good, but she also refuses to read Harry Potter or Stephen King, and insists on reading the dryest mystery novels I've ever seen. Anyone else think it's good?

Also, anyway get what that quote means? I thinks its funny, so the first person to say what it means in a comment gets the next chapter dedicated to them.
