Chapter 8 - I want steak, Kar-- IS THAT SHEENA?!
They all walked down the large stairs and entered the inn. "We'll stay for lunch before leaving. Sooooo… who wants Ramen?!" Karrei grinned.

"Awesome! I haven't had Ramen in a long time!" Cheered Lloyd.

"It's amazing what makes him happy." Thought Karrei.

"Ummm… Could I have some Cabbage Rolls instead?" asked Colette.

"Sure thing, Colette! Those are some of my favorite foods! What about you Kratos?"

"Nothing. I'm fine."

Karrei gave him a look. "Eat something or you'll be eating nothing but tomatoes for weeks… you could at least try a Riceball…"

"Fine. I'll have a Seafood Stew.

"I want a steak!" Called Zelos from the window.

"How about you, Raine?"

"I'll just have a Fruit Cocktail."

"Genis?"

"Riceballs please."

"Okay. So Lloyd and I will have Ramen, Kratos wants Seafood Stew, Colette would like some Cabbage Rolls, Raine would like a Fruit Cocktail, Genis wants Riceballs, and, finally, Zelos will have a steak."

"You can use our kitchen if you'd like, just clean up afterwards." Said the innkeeper.

"Thanks, I won't make a mess." Karrei assured, walking into the kitchen. After only 2 minutes Lloyd decided he'd poke Zelos' head until she got back.

"DAMMIT LLOYD!" yelled Zelos jumping behind Karrei and snatching his plate when she walked back.

"Your welcome…" Karrei stated even though she got no thanks. "Did I miss something?"

"Lloyd was annoying him for 10 minutes."

"Oh, okay then." Smiled Karrei, handing everyone his or her plates. "Raine they didn't have all of the fruit you like so I made you a Shortcake instead."

"That's fine, I love Shortcake as well."

"This is very good, Karrei." Complemented Kratos.

"Yeah, you're much better at making Riceballs tha--"

Lloyd dropped his fork and put his hand over Genis' mouth "Shut it!"

"Better than WHO, Genis?" leered Raine, knowing somewhat where this was going.

"Uh… um… I-I mean, she makes Riceballs much better than I do!"

"…" Zelos had no comment being too busy eating his steak.

"I take it that Zelos is happy." Noted Karrei. Zelos nodded his head without looking up. "I'll take that as 'This is great and I'd thank you but I want to finish it first.' Right?" Zelos nodded twice and muffled 'mmhmm' between bites. "Good. How's your Ramen, Lloyd?" Lloyd had been trying to sneak some of Karrei's Ramen and quickly retreated his Chopsticks only to have Raine hit him on the head.

"Lloyd! That's INCREDIBLY rude! Apologize this instant!!" She yelled.

"Owww…" Lloyd rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry Karrei…"

"It's okay, I'm not really that hungry anyway. You an have it"

"Are you sure, Karrei? It's your food." Double-checked Raine.

"It's Fine" She assured. Lloyd took the cue and started chowing on Karrei's Ramen. Noishe walked over and stared at Karrei. "Lloyd, what does Noishe eat?"

"He eats anything. Choose something and give it to him."

"Hmmm…" Karrei grinned and turned in Zelos' direction so he would hear her "Nevermind. It looks like he wants STEAK."

"Back off Noishe!!" Zelos yelled and turned around. Noishe, who was still next to Karrei, gave him a look like he was nuts. "Not funny, Karrei!" Everyone, besides Kratos and Noishe, Laughed their heads off.

"Now that the show is over how about we get going." Suggested Kratos.

"Sure, but…" Karrei began as she looked out the window," Can we stop by somewhere and get a kimono for me that's like that woman's?"

"Kimono? People from Mizuho wear kimonos!…" Muttered Zelos before dashing over and scanning the area rapidly.

"Looking for something?" asked Karrei.

"He's probably looking for Sheena. She wears a Kimono."

"Girl with Raven Black hair who wears a purple kimono with a big pink bow on the back that trails behind her? Has the type of body that Zelos loves?"

"Bingo."

"Yeah, that's her."

"Then keep it to yourself." Advised Lloyd. "We'll be on a wild goose chase for hours trying to track him down if he knows that she's definitely here."

"Huh? Did you say something? Were you talking about me, Karrei?" asked Zelos

"Nope, we were talking about how we were going to get Noishe to Flanoir. We could put him in the wing pack couldn't we? Or would that be considered animal abuse?"

"Umm it's up to Noishe."

"*whine*"

"Too bad we can't understand him…"

"No kidding…"

"Whatever." Shrugged Zelos, continuing his scan for Sheena.

"I sorta feel sorry for him." Karrei whispered to Lloyd.

"Don't worry. We'll let him annoy Sheena for ten minutes on the way back and laugh our asses off when she sets Undine after him."

"I can't wait to see that." Laughed Karrei, heading for the door along with the others and walking towards the entrance of Meltokio. "Or… maybe not… Sheena's right there and Zelos is sneaking up behind her. Care to ruin his fun?"

"Oh yes, let's!" Said Lloyd who then called. "Hey Sheena, look out behind you!" Sheena unfortunately turned around just as Zelos grabbed her from behind.

"SHEENA!!!!!!!!!" Zelos yelled cheerfully. "I've missed you so much, my voluptuous hunny <3!"

"Oh Goddess Martel, no. PLEASE tell me that isn't Zelos hugging me."

"Too bad that it is." Said Karrei.

"I told you to tell me that is wasn't-- who are you?"

"This is Karrei, Sheena." Introduced Lloyd. "Karrei, this is Sheena. She's the Chief of Mizuho."

"Successor. Grandpa isn't dead yet!" Corrected Sheena, who managed to escape Zelos' grip.

"Right, sorry. So anyway what's up?"

~End of Chapter~

Author's Notes: Hihi all! It's RA bringing you Author's notes ^^. Many of you may be wondering "RA… since WHEN was Zelos obsessed with STEAK?" my answer would be "Since I made him obsessed with steak. I live next to snobs and they NEVER have steak because they're rich. And you all know what it's like to miss a food that you liked. Anyway, Zelos would do anything to get on a girl's good side." So Sheena is now in the mix. And s you can all tell, because this chapter is manly food, food, food. I was hungry, hungry, hungry! I've been trying to get this chapter done for WEEKS… I've had a few mishaps say 1.. 2.. 3… can you say 6 times? Good job, kids! 1st time I got my disc lost, 2nd time I lost the rough copy, 3rd time my comp glitched and the data was deleted. I SHIT YOU NOT! Anyone who wants to suggest my Fanfic is welcome to as long as all credit for the actual fic, and Karrei, go to me. Thanks and have a nice day! ~Resolute Assassin
