Sheena sat on the ledge, her knee's curled up against herself, one of her arms crossed across her legs while the other...

The other held Corrine's bell before her eyes, eyes that were empty with dispare.

She'd finnally done it, she'd beaten Volt, the spirit that haunted her darkest nightmares. She'd gotten revenge for all the pain caused to her village, righted the wrongs she'd cast upon them.

She'd gotten her closure.

But the cost was too damn high.

It was a gnawing, aching emptyness, this loss. To think that she'd never be able to speak to Corrine again, to know that no matter how badly she wished, her friend wasn't going to come back...

It was...so damn...painful.

She wouldn't cry. She wouldn't. To cry would be to show weakness, and she had to remain strong so they could all get the rheiards and rescue Colette. Plus, to cry would show disrespect to Corrine's memory, she was certain.

Corrine hadn't died so she could cry about it.

Still, she felt so lost, adrift in life without her closest counterpart. She'd shared so much with the little fox, so much of herself, things she hadn't given to anyone else. To have lost someone like that, it was like a part of her had died.

It felt just like that, like a part of her was dead with Corrine. She didn't know if that part were important or not, and she wondered how she'd gain the streangth to go on without her.

Her eyes were lost, blank, soulless, and while Sheena didn't realise it, someone else noticed it for her.

Her mind was blank, still trying to grasp meaning without her friend, when her reverie was interrupted by a swirl of red and blue. She blinked in surprise as Zelos grinned in front of her face, so close...

Too close actually. She growled and smacked him to correct the situation.

“Ow! Jeez hunny, this what a guy gets for checking up on you?” Zelos grumbled as he nursed his sore cheek.

Sheena glared at him, not in the mood for his antics. “You don't need to be that close when 'checking up' on somebody Zelos. Ever heard of personal space?”

The Chosen grinned cheekily. “Well, I tried calling your name but you just kept starring off into space all creepy like.” He spread his hands out. “So I decided that surely the ultra-sexy figiure of the Great Zelos will snap you back to reality!”

Sheena sighed and laid her head to rest on her arm. “Leave me alone, I'm not in the mood.”

His smile softened, and he held up a small wildflower as a peace offering. “It's not like you to be so mopey.” he said.

Sheena's eyes snapped back to him. “I'm not being mopey!” She protested, despite the fact that...well...yeah, she was.

“Heh,” He chuckled before turning to gaze at the horizon. “You know, ever since you stole her from the lab, you and Corrine were inseperable.” He gave her a sidelong glance. “All she ever wanted was to protect you. Probably to pay you back for saving her all those years ago.”

Sheena looked down, her heart clenching painfully. Corrine had sacrificed herself to save Sheena, protecting her as she'd promised.

And it was all Sheena's fault.

“Hey...” Zelos' voice snapped her out of her thoughts, a strange look in his eyes. “Do you think she'd want you to beat yourself up over her death?”

Sheena's eyes widened, shocked. “I...I don't...” She stuttered.

Zelos grinned that idiotic grin back at her. “You just need to take these things as they come. Learn to live a little!” He turned and made a grand gesture. “Can't let the bad things in life keep you down,” His head turned to look back at her. “Am I right?”

Sheena scowled, she really couldn't believe him sometimes. “It's not like its that easy!” She sighed and turned away from him. “You act so carefree, its not like I'd expect you to understand...” Except, really, his life hadn't been as easy as he made it out to be. Sheena paused as the realization hit her.

She knew, because everyone in Tethe'alla knew. About his mother, and his sister...

He knew hardship, but he acted so cocky and carefree that Sheena sometimes forgot.

Zelos really did know what it felt like...

But... “How do you do it?” She asked, her voice low.

He tilted his head, confused. “Hmm? Do what my lovely Hunny?”

Sheena frowned but ignored the comment. “How do you stay so carefree, with all the crap going on.” She looked him in the eye, determined to get him to be serious. “How can you act like the bad stuff isn't there?”

Zelos was silent for a few moments, his face holding a faint smile, but his eyes...His eyes seemed distant, calculating.

They stayed like that as Sheena struggled to keep her impatience in check.

Finally, Zelos seemed to decide on what to say. “Beats me. I just take life as it comes.”

She could have strangled him.

“That's IT?”

He grinned at her. “Yep!”

Sheena sighed, exasperated. Of course she shouldn't have expected a useful answer from an idiot like him. Zelos just didn't work that way. Never had really.

She huffed and turned back to him. “Well, I can't do that.” She said, curling further in on herself. “It wouldn't be fair to Corrine's memory for me to act like her death didn't happen.”

Zelos, to her surprise, gave a frusterated groan and frowned at her. “That's not what I meant. I didn't say to act like her death didn't happen. I said that there's no point in worrying over what's already been done.” He turned so that his entire body faced hers. “Do you want to keep beating yourself up over something you couldn't control?”

Sheena looked down. “Well, what makes you think I couldn't have stopped it, huh? If I'd trusted her in the first place...”

She felt a light pressure on her shoulders, and she looked up into the Chosen's somber face. “No Sheena.” He said. “You couldn't.”

Damn it, she would not cry. Her eyes were not watering up. She had to keep herself in check. She had to.

“How do you know for sure?” She was happy her voice stayed steady, low, stable despite her inner storm.

Zelos' eyes softened as he ran a hand along her cheek. “Because some things just happen like that, no matter how we wish otherwise. We can't keep worrying over what might have been or else we drive ourselves crazy.” There was a distant look to his eyes, and Sheena was lost in them.

And just like that he broke the spell.

He grinned, focusing back on her. “So don't worry! Even if Corrine's not here to protect you, it's my job now!” He laughed and moved so his face was an inch from hers. “Right hunny?”

Sheena grimaced and promptly knocked him away, her face flustered. “W-what did I say about being that close to me? And don't call me that!” She stood up and quickly made her way to where the others would be, walking past where he'd fallen on the ground, one hand clutching Corrine's bell tightly to her, while the other gently held the wildflower Zelos had offered.

She didn't even realise she still had it until that night.

…

Lighting.

It flashed all around her, causing the air to heat up thick with the smell of ozone. Her hair stood on end and she couldn't see but she couldn't give up just yet. The spirit had to be caged at all costs. She could use the lightning for visibility, but that would mean keeping her emotions in check as crackling death struck the ground.

She would not fail this time.

The crash, the light flash, and it took everything inside of her not to jump at the sound. The area was lit at last...

And the bodies of her clan gazed accusingly with lifeless eyes.

Sheena awoke, panting and sweating from the nightmare. It took only a few seconds for her to recall where she was, the noise and warmth of the campfire and the sounds of her sleeping companions aiding in calming her.

She closed her eyes tight, her heart clenching in a familiar pain that she refused to give into. Volt was in her command now, Lightning death would no longer haunt her dreams with the spirit under control.

Right?

Sheena bit back a frusterated groan, because apparently that wasn't the case. She could feel herself shaking, the dream still effecting her despite her wishes.

So much had been taken from her by Volt. Her kin, her Grandfather (Who still hadn't woken up when she'd last checked, even though she hadn't expected anything else) and now, Corrine.

Sheena sucked in a choked breath, hoping that no one would hear.

She couldn't take it, this pain. She was supposed to be strong, but she'd suffered such a devastating loss and it was killing her trying to get over it. She needed to find some way to make the pain ease, or at least a way to accept the burden. Corrine didn't deserve such a weak and pathetic friend like her. Sheena had to get a grip on herself, or else she'd disrespect her friend's memory.

Along with the memories of all the others she'd failed in her quest to control Volt.

Sheena clenched her eyes tighter, the faces of her clan's dead flashing in her mind vividly. She couldn't get them out of her head, every morbid detail, every emotion of that day...

Sheena needed to talk to someone. She wasn't so proud to avoid getting help when she really, really needed it. Though, she was stubborn about the fact to the bitter end, and...well...she felt horrible asking for it. She was a Ninja for Jizou's sake, she shouldn't be this weak.

Her mind instantly went to Lloyd, and she blushed at the thought of the swordsman. Lloyd had helped her so much in the temple, and if it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't have been able to stand after Corrine's death.

It was thanks to Lloyd that Sheena had control of Volt.

But...

Sheena shook, and clenched her teeth in frustration at her shaking. To talk to Lloyd when she was like this? She didn't think she could handle it, him seeing her so weak. And while she knew he'd be sympathetic of her loss (As everyone had been going out of their way to be sympathetic towards her ever since the tower, sans a certain red-haired annoyance) a part of her just felt...very, very uncomfortable with that sympathy. She was just too used to the more reserved nature of her clansmen. Seeing them so sad...just made her sadder. It made her want to be stronger so she didn't make them sad too.

It made her feel weak, and the last thing she needed was to feel even more weak right now. So, talking to Lloyd, while probably something she really needed, was out of the question. He'd care, and do everything he could to make her feel better, but she was just...difficult.

That, and he had enough on his plate with worry over Colette. Sheena's heart clenched at the memory.

Ah...Colette. Sheena had quite the amount of respect for the Sylvaranti Chosen. So much respect, so much concern, and maybe a little bit of resentment.

The girl had gone through a lot, and Sheena felt a kind of protective sisterly emotion when it came to the blonde, but she also felt a bit of rivalry and jelousy too. Sheena had started to have...well...feelings for Lloyd, which really wasn't that surprising. He was so, so, bright compaired to the rest of the world, and charming in his own youthful way.

So honest, so good. Even when he fell, he just got back up and vowed to learn from his mistakes.

Was it any wonder why she began to care for him?

Didn't it just figiure that he was spoken for before she'd ever met him?

Sheena huffed, blowing some stray bangs out of her face as she glanced over to where the swordsman slept across the fire. Just her luck, really. Sheena's track record wasn't the best when it came to...well...'relationships'. After all, it'd gone from some young, experimental 'puppy love' with Kuchinawa (before Volt happened) to her 'thing' with Zelos (That she wasn't certain was still going or if what happened in the woods was a 'one time' deal) to...well...'this.'

Sheena was, to be frank, the third party in a very clear and very defined love triangle, which actually would be an improvement over what she had with Zelos, which was more of a love...uh...fuck tri-something-gon...ah, screw geometry. It was some sort of shape with many, many, many sides and it couldn't even have the word love in it as Zelos made it clear that love wasn't a word in his dictionary.

It really was bad luck that Tethe'alla had a Chosen like him. Sheena almost wished that the same stood for Colette, so that things with Lloyd, and Sheena's own feelings, could be sorted out easier.

Of course Sheena felt absolutley horrible for even considering such a thing. Colette was a good and kind person. She deserved Lloyd. Far more then Sheena, a selfish coward such as herself, did.

Sheena shut her eyes again and held herself under her blanketes, turning her face away from Lloyd and to her left, trying with everything she had to contain her shaking. She clenched her teeth stubbornly, desperately attempting to get her inner streangth back, praying it would help her to escape her pit of dispare.

She opened her eyes, intending on looking to the stars for advice, but they landed on a main of red fire instead. She blinked, remembering certain words spoken to her by the red-head only a few hours ago.

'Even if Corrine's not here to protect you, it's my job now!'

Sheena scowled, like she'd ever ask protection from him of all people. He was a liar, a philanderer, a pervert. He was the last person she could trust for protection.

If he were more like Colette...

Sheena shuddered, a vision that had haunted her when she first saw the light in the Silvarati's eyes die in the tower coming to mind once more. She tried telling herself that it was a stupid thing to worry over. Zelos would never go as far as Colette had. He was too selfish, too unwilling to risk his own neck. If put in the position, the man would probably run, shirk his duty instead of sacrificing himself. Sheena had nothing to worry about as far as that fate for Zelos were concerned.

And yet...she couldn't dispel the image in her mind, that of Zelos in the same position as Colette was before Lloyd brought her heart back. Nothing but a broken, unfeeling doll.

Sheena closed her eyes, shoving the image away. It didn't matter right then after all. Colette was the one suffering, kidnapped in the sky by a sick freak, not Zelos, so there was no point dwelling on a situation that wasn't going to happen.

She shivered and curled tighter. Dwelling on the Idiot had given her a moment's repreive, but her greiving heart couldn't be silenced.

'I'll protect you now'

Sheena looked back to Zelos. She didn't want his protection or need it, but...

A flash of dead eyes came to her mind again, and she decided. The pervert would be happy at least.

Sheena took a deep breath, calming her nerves and trembling hands. She couldn't afford to let him see how shakey she was, and hopefully his 'talents' would be sufficient enough to keep the memories at bay. He always was a good distraction.

Satisfied with the mask she took one last glance at the campsite; everyone else was asleep except for Raine, who was the nightwatch. The half-elf was busy reading a book, and Sheena knew she'd mind her own buisiness so long as they didn't disturb her.

Sheena nodded, and with one last calming breath to keep her emotions in check she quietly crept over to Zelos, making sure to avoid Presea's sleeping form along the way.

When she got to him she took another breath, this one a bit more shakey then she would have liked, but nevertheless Sheena steeled herself and proceeded to shake the Chosen awake.

“Hey.” She murmered. He just responded by turning away (He was one of those people who didn't snore when they slept, and he was beautiful too, the way his hair fell. It royally pissed her off.) so she shook him again, harder this time.

“Hey Zelos, wake up.” The man always did sleep like a rock.

“Zelos!” She hissed, and finnally he showed signs of waking.

Zelos blinked sleepily at her, recognition slowly coming to his features. “Sheena?” He whispered. “What-”

“Shh.” Sheena quickly covered his mouth before they woke up the others. He blinked slowly in confusion, becoming more awake by the moment.

Sheena took another glance around camp, noting that no one else but Raine was up still. She nodded in satisfaction and returned her attention to Zelos, who still looked bewildered.

She motioned for him to follow her, as she didn't want to risk anymore odd questions then she had to.

Zelos narrowed his eyes, but complied, sighing in remorse for his bed before getting up to follow her outside of camp.

As soon as they got a good distance away Zelos waisted no time speaking up.

“Sheena, what's going on?” He asked. “I mean, not that I mind a midnight stroll with my sexy ninja hunny, but-”

He was cut off as Sheena gave him a poignant glare. She didn't have patience for his antics tonight.

She took a deep breath, finding her center, and gave him the most nuetral look she could manage.

“Zelos, can I ask you something?” She said, her voice as carefully calm as her face.

Zelos blinked again and gave a half smirk. “That is technically asking me something sweetheart.” He responded.

Sheena felt her mask crack instantly in reaction and she couldn't help but give him another glare.

“That's not the point! I-” She stopped herself, took another breath, and put her mask back on.

“What I mean is,” She paused and composed herself again. “That thing, back in the forest, are we back to where we were before?” She prayed he understood, because she didn't want to bother spelling it out for him.

It took Zelos a few moments before his face lit up in understanding. “Heh,” He chuckled, giving her a slight smirk. “If you want to be, I certainly won't deny it hunny.”

Sheena frowned, and nodded to herself. She expected an answer like that from him, though the annoying pang in her heart didn't like how casual he was about it. She angrily shoved that pang away, having enough to deal with without bringing that old wound up again.

She promptly decided that waisting time thinking about the act wasn't worth the trouble, so she turned and looked the red-head in the eye. “Good.” She said, before quickly pushing him against and tree and proceeding to give him a heated, and possibly a bit desperate, kiss.

The Chosen responded instantly, his arms moving around her to press her tighter against him, his soft moans resounding against her lips. Sheena tried to focus on the feeling of his warm body against hers, tried to lose herself into the kiss, the sounds.

She felt his hand move up to run down her spine, and she couldn't help the shiver that racked through her body. He growled in response, biting her bottem lip as his other hand went to press against her lower back, a small moan uttering from her as she rubbed up against what was clearly his building arousal.

He whispered her name against her lips, and she opened her eyes to view the fire that burned in his. His eyes...they were dark with desire and want.

So alive, so different from the eyes in her dream...

Sheena forcefully banished the image from her mind and stepped away from him, quickly shedding her obi and robe, frowning as she noted the calculated look on the Chosen's face.

She huffed and started to work on getting her pants off, uncomfortable with his intense stare. “Well?” She asked irritatedly, “Aren't you gonna take them off?”

He blinked, apparently shaking himself out of whatever had gotten into him and pouted at her. “What's with the rush, hunny? Don't you wanna enjoy the process a little?”

She growled and prayed for a bit more patience. He just had to be difficult with absolutely everything didn't he? “You're getting laid, aren't you?” She gritted out at him. “Be happy with that.”

Zelos sighed and started to take off his vest. “Alright, alright...” he pouted. “Though its more fun when you let me undress you.”

Sheena blushed but didn't comment, focusing on shimmying out of her pants intestead.

She quickly pulled them off and placed them with the rest of her clothes, noting a fallen tree trunk to the side. That gave her ideas...

She turned back to the red-head. “Are you done yet?” She grumbled.

Zelos huffed at her, his pants halfway undone and his chest bare. “Jeez, you really are impatient tonight. What lit a fire under your ass Sheena?”

She growled. “None of your buisiness, you're fine like that.” She gestured towards the trunk. “Unless you wanna get splinters in your precious behind.”

Zelos cringed, looking with distain at the ragged dead tree. “While I like where things are going, I've gotta say I wish we had a more comfortable place to do this.” He said as he made his way to sit on the fallen trunk.

Sheena rolled her eyes and after he was situated, moved to straddle his lap. Her legs were kneeling to either side of his thighs, her rear pearched on his knees. It was a precarious position, but she was an 'acrobat' and they'd done more complex before.

Her hands were on his shoulders to steady herself, while his hands moved to her lower back to aid her. His fingers tightened, but she shook her head.

Now she was the one smirking. “What did you say about 'rushing' things Zelos?” She asked in amusement.

Zelos gave a sheepish smile, his thumbs stroking her sides. “Heh, well I DO happen to have what is possibly THE hottest ninja in my lap, naked.” His smile turned lecherous. “Can you blame me for being a bit,” Sheena felt what was undoubtibly one of Zelos' gloved hands firmly grasping her rear. “Eager?”

Sheena frowned at him, giving a very unamused look. “Y'know, if we weren't about to do something like this, then I'd be beating you up right now.” She said.

His grin grew. “Kinky.”

Sheena sighed in exasperation, he would never learn. So, she decided to wipe the smirk off his face a different way...

“Ah...!” Zelos gasped at the feel of her cool hand grasping his partially erect manhood inside his pants. “Sh-Sheena...” He panted.

She made an attempt to glare at him, but she couldn't help the small smile on her face. “Just shut up, idiot.” She said.

“Whatever you say sweetheart.” He said in a shuddering voice, his hands slowly pulling her closer.

Sheena smirked and teased her hand down his length. “Some one wants to get to the main event I see.” She stroked up, her grip a little firmer, her thumb circling the tip when she got there. “I'm barely doing anything and look at you.”

Indeed, the Chosen beneath her was already at full arousel with just a bit of teasing on her part. His lean body was flushed and straining against the urge to get up, take control, and do terrible things to her, things he done before. Sheena blushed at the memory.

But not tonight. This night, Sheena had control, needed control, so he wasn't getting his way this time.

Lucky for him, he didn't even try, just shut his eyes tight in concentration, pleasure, and possibly what looked like a bit of pain, though she wasn't certain where that could be from as she didn't think she was hurting him.

Physically at least.

His mouth suddenly curled into another sly grin. “Heh, nice to see you haven't lost your touch, my lovely hunny.”

That stopped her. “What?” She asked flatly.

The idiot before her chuckled and opened his eyes to leer. “Well, what with how stiff you usually are, I was wondering if you'd gotten around to working on your technique or if you'd just get rusty.”

Why the HELL did he do things like this? “Why...you...” She could barely speak through her anger. “I have your cock in my hand and you say something like that?!” She shrieked, tempted to give him a lesson...but she still needed his 'distraction' or she'd never sleep tonight.

He chuckled softly before placing a hand firmly over her mouth, the other soothingly rubbing her thigh. “Shh, you don't want to wake the others do you?” he asked, arching an elegant brow. She shut up, but glared at him, her hand lightly squeezing his length in warning.

His smirk just grew wider in response. “I think it's your turn.” He whispered before the hand still on her thigh moved to her lower back and used the extra leverage to pull Sheena flush against him, her damp core pressed right against his throbbing shaft.

She gasped, letting go of his member in shock, her hands going back to his shoulders to keep her balance.

His chest vibrated against hers in laughter. He moved so his breath brushed against her ear, causing her to shiver. “Look at you, you're so wet.”

Sheena bit her lip, even she hadn't realized just how turned on she was. Then again, Zelos always did have that effect on her.

He shifted, causing her to let out an involentary moan as he rubbed up against her clit. He chuckled again.

She growled and shifted herself, her movements a little more rough then his sensual ones.

His smirk only grew as he shifted back, allowing her to take control. He moved his hips to her rhythm, humming his approval as the ninja increased her pace, her sex becoming warmer and wetter with her building arousel.

Sheena found herself leaning closer to the red-head, the motions coming naturally, like a familiar dance. She moved with him, her breath becoming heavier as her whole body began to heat up. Her eyes looked into his, the dark sapphire telling her he was just as affected.

She bit her lip, her body urging her to move faster, the tightening in her core begging her to relieve the heat, but she forced herself to move slow. She wanted to be there, fully in the moment. She wanted to forget.

He kissed her, or she kissed him, their faces had been so close, it wasn't certain who'd made the first move. Her heart fluttered, much to her inner chagrin, then her eyes shot open from their half lidded daze as she felt a familiar penetration in her depths. She broke the kiss, letting out what was neither cry nor moan, but something in between. He quickly recaptured her lips, his mouth invading her much the same way he invaded her center.

She could feel him, firm inside her, firm and warm. He hadn't stopped their slow rhythm, and she felt him thrusting, though with the position he couldn't move very much. Regaining some composier, she resumed her own movements, and felt him moan against her lips in gratitude. The pace became faster, each getting further and further lost inside the intense sensations.

Still, no matter how lost she was, the eyes still haunted her. They flashed behind her eyelids, every time she felt herself completely start to forget. She began to move faster, moan louder, anything to make them go away.

She came so close and they still wouldn't leave her alone...

It was all her fault.

no...

All hers.

No, it wasn't....

Failure.

No...

MURDERER.

NO.

“Sheena!” Zelos' hushed whisper yanked her out of her head, and she halted her movements, blinking in shock at him. He was looking at her in bewilderment, his hands rubbing soothingly along her arms, which were trembling.

Her whole body was trembling actually, she hadn't even noticed.

She swallowed in an effort to regain her composure, but when she opened her mouth to say something her breath hitched, and she choked.

He frowned and put a hand to her cheek, stroking it and pulled it away, showing the fresh moisture of newly fallen tears.

Zelos sighed. “Oh Sheena...” His eyes reflected empathy and sadness for the summoner.

Sheena opened her mouth again. “I...” She hiccupped, her body shaking even more violently as the damn she'd been struggling to surpress began to burst.

She squeezed her eyes shut, a last ditch effort to keep herself contained. Then warmth and the pressure of two long arms encircled her. Zelos held her close, the battle she was fighting within herself becoming too much to bear.

How embarrassing...

“Shhh, it's okay love...” The chosen whispered to her, running his hand through her hair as he rocked her sobbing body back and forth. “It's okay, just let it out...”

She focused on his soothing voice, absentmindedly noting the odd pet name that he'd used for her on very, very rare occasions. She'd never heard him use that name for anybody else, and the few times he'd used it on her had been so oddly touching she'd never commented or scolded him for it. Honestly, she wasn't certain he even realised when he used it.

Nevertheless, her mind and heart were too busy dealing with other things to comment it then, so she said nothing, just let herself be rocked and soothed by him in this rare moment of weakness. How she hated her weakness, hated that he had to see it. She was so, so tired of fighting though, and she wanted to sleep, so she listened to the idiot for once and chose to stop fighting the pain.

It took a long while, an eternity, but finnally the dam slowed enough so she could be a little more aware of her surroundings.

She blinked her bleary eyes and found herself looking into Zelos' face, which sported a small, but tender smile, and something else shining in his gaze. If she looked a bit deeper she might be able to identify it...

But it was gone the moment he noticed her looking at him, and the smile turned playful. “Well, that's one hell of an ego blow. I don't think I've ever managed to make a woman cry during the main event before.” He said, laughingly.

Sheena frowned, and shoved at his chest. “Shut it. I just had something in my eye is all...” She looked away from her pitiful cover, her cheeks flushing in embarrassment.

The Chosen's chest rumbled with his low laughter, and he leaned forward to kiss one of her flushed cheeks. “Relax hunny, your seacret's safe with me.” He kept kissing her cheek, his thumb wiping away at the trail of water left over from her tears.

Sheena growled, though she found herself leaning into his hand. “It better be.”

He gripped her chin and gently moved her to face him again, the tender look back in his eyes, and this time he didn't hide it completely from her. “I promise.” He whispered, before leaning to give her a light kiss on her lips. She felt her blush heat up, though not exactly in embarrassment anymore, and she shifted to return the kiss, only to pause as soon as she was uncomfortably reminded of the invasion between her thighs.

Zelos let out an unconcious groan and put his hand on her shoulder to keep her from moving around too much. “I guess we're done for the night then.” His voice came out strained, his crooked grin to her even more so. “Heh, maybe next time'll end on a better note, eh?”

He was flushed, she could see. Flushed and panting and wanting, but he restrained himself for her sake.

She grabbed his shoulders before he could move away. “W-wait...” He paused, complying curiously. “Please, don't...don't go yet.” Sheena felt herself blushing deeper, though it was from a bit of excitement as well. She felt...drained, but she knew the faces of her clan were waiting for her if she didn't have something more...

She looked him in the eye, her face set, determined. “I need you to help me...I wanna forget.” She took a deep, shuddering breath. She hated to ask outright. “Please, help me forget.”

Zelos narrowed his eyes, swallowing thickly. She watched his adam's apple bob as he tried to keep control of himself. “It's not gonna fix everything hun...” He managed to say, his voice wavering a bit. She could feel him pulse inside of her, and his body shuddered, but he kept calm. “Something like this...will take time.”

She nodded, but moved closer to him, her body moving against his, causing him to buck a bit unconciously. “I know, but I can't help Lloyd or Colette or anyone if I don't get some sleep.” She laid her hands on her chest, eyes pleading into his. “Please Zelos.”

A flash of something dark passed in his eyes, and he sighed in frustration. “To hell with it.” He whispered, before attacking her mouth and bucking up against her vigorously.

Sheena could feel her excitement build again, the way he took control of her mouth and the way he quickly thrust into her. She felt the familiar tightening of her core, and she moaned against his lips, begging for release.

He broke the kiss and moved to nibble her ear, his hands pulling her tighter against his warm body, slick with sweat and trembling in excitement. He breathed, warm air sending chills down her spine as he started whispering. “This is what you want right? You're so wet...” He grunted and started thrusting harder, Sheena found herself bucking right back, his tight hold making it just as hard for her to move as her weight made for him.

“You need this...need me.” He groaned and bit her neck, causing her to gasp out. A corner of her mind felt the familiar anger start to build, but she was too raw, too worn, to really care if he was being a dick right then. She just wanted to feel and not think.

He was kissing and nuzzling, never letting his tight grip on her loosen, his breath coming out broken against her ear. “Thats fine...I'll give you what you want. I'll give you this, and tomorrow I'll-” He paused, and her breath stopped. She didn't know why, but she really wanted him to finish to finish that sentence.

“What?” She asked, her voice soft and trembling, their bodies slowing for a moment.

Zelos looked at her, that same dark, desperate shadow in his eyes, the same one she couldn't identify, not that she'd ever wanted to before.

Now...now she wanted to, far more then she'd ever had, but before she could he gave her the same god-awful smirk and lecherous leer. “Maybe tomorrow I'll get a couple quickies as a reward?”

Sheena stopped, and that weak anger she'd had burned hot as a furnace, cutting through her lust and sorrow filled fog. She glared at him, wanting nothing better then to smack that stupid grin off his pretty face.

But before she could yell at him, he kissed her, roughly, then broke it to whisper against her lips, his body thrusting even harder into hers. “That's it.” He growled. “That's my Ninja Hunny. Get angry. Get pissed as hell. Get so mad those ghosts of yours won't dare to haunt your dreams again.” One of his hands slowly started to move down to her stomach.

Sheena was confused, on one hand, she was angry at him. Very angry. But on the other hand...did he do all that just so she would get angry? What was his deal? Didn't he just see her as a conquest?

...what was she to him?

All thought stopped as she felt his hand start to quickly rub her clit, the added pleasure on top of what she was already feeling shooting up her spine. She couldn't help but kiss him then, though she added a couple hard bites to show him she was still pissed. He simply moaned and bit her back, though not as hard, his grip on her body becoming tighter.

They separated, desperate for air as they were for each other, and Zelos pressed his forhead to hers, his fingers making quick circles around her nub. He trembled, and she felt her world blurring as her pleasure began to peak.

He gasped, “Sheena! Come...come for me love...oh goddess...” And he kissed her again, and she broke, her mind blank as her high became all she was aware of, and he cried out, his voice lost in her lips. They only felt each other, only their connection.

And all Sheena saw in the dark of her eyes was him, and that shadow he refused to show her...

It was a long while before her mind came back to her, and even then she was a bit groggy. She felt him nuzzling and kissing her neck, and to her chagrin realized he was in the midst of his 'after sex cuddling' again. Urg, he was so clingy when he got into these moods.

She pressed her hands on his chest to move him off, but he only gripped her tighter. “Zelos.” Her voice was firm, uncomprimising. She needed to get some sleep or she'd be a zombie tomorrow. For that matter, so would he.

“Just...gimmie a minute would ya?” He sounded pleading, his hands rubbing soothing circles on her shoulder blades...huh, she hadn't noticed him wrapping them both around her after their...climax.

She flushed and huffed. “We need to get back to camp, Raine's going to get worried.”

He scoffed. “Raine doesn't care, she probably knows there's something goin' on between us at this point. Regal too, for that matter.” He kissed her temple, his right hand moving to run through her hair.

Sheena growled even as her flush became deeper in embarrasment. This was only the second time since they'd been with the group! How...?

She glared at him, it wasn't important right then. “That still doesn't mean we shouldn't go back to get some sleep!”

He kissed her briefly before shushing her against her lips. Her eyes widened, he was being a lot more...tender then usual. “You don't wanna wake them all up, do ya?” He chuckled softly. He kissed her again, softly, and with a bit of embarrasment, she kissed him back, wondering where the usual pervert had dissapeared to.

He kept her there for a few moments more, then sighed reluctantly as he let her go, both grunting and making little moans as they separated from each other.

She only shared a brief look with him for a few seconds before moving to quickly gather her clothes and put them back on. She heard him doing the same, and she tried hard not to think about how...different he'd seemed.

Still...he had helped her, and she didn't want to be rude. So after she was done she turned back to him, only to jump slightly at how close he'd gotten while she wasn't looking.

She was supposed to be a ninja, how the hell was he sneaking up on her so much?!

“D-don't do that!” She hissed, keeping in mind what he'd said about staying quiet. He smirked at her in response, and while she would've liked very much to hit him, she remembered her manners. “Anyways...uh...thanks.” She looked away, feeling that damn blush again.

He laughed, and she could just hear that damn smirk of his growing. “No, thank you. This trip might not be so boring after all if our little agreement is still in place.”

Her eyes shot back to him, her rage rekindled. “That's...just...don't make it sound like it's-”

“Just a casual agreement between two fuck buddies, right?” He interrupted her, that smirk she hated most definitely in place. “Well, that's what it is. Hard to make it sound like anything else.” Ice flashed in his eyes, and Sheena looked away. She hated to see his eyes become cold like that, no matter how pissed she was at him.

...And she really had nothing to say to that, being one to make the deal, offered it to him, in the first place. And anyways, wasn't she in love with Lloyd?

Yes, Lloyd, most definitely someone better to get involved with. Even if he was taken, he wasn't as tangled and confusing as Zelos was to deal with. He wouldn't give her as much of a headache either.

“Just...Shut up.” It was her only response as she turned away from him, ready to make her way back to camp. “It's not like we'll have much free time with this trip anyways.” She tossed back over her shoulder before heading off.

She ended up in camp alone, having enough time to get settled into her sleeping bag before Zelos crept in after her. Raine didn't make a comment, though she'd given Sheena a slightly worried look when the Summoner had come back alone. Still, she didn't question, and for that Sheena was grateful.

Zelos didn't make any mention or movements towards her, just curled back into his bedroll silently.

When she went to sleep, she dreamed of his warmth encircling her, protecting her, while lighting danced harmlessly in the distance.
I apologize again for the length of time it took for this story...but I've a full time job now, so I'm blaming that. :P It's 21 pages long though, so your welcome.
