The Court Case

Disclaimer: I don't own this, but I do own my ideas and the Summon Spirits I make.

A/N: Here we are, the side story to the sequel of Sheena: Tales of Summoning. This is mainly about Seles trying to throw Sheena in the slammer, and the fights they put up.

Chapter 1: The Letter

"Miss Seles! Miss Seles!" a maid called scurrying to a pink haired woman with a huge bonnet on her head.

"What is it?" the woman asked.

"I have a letter received from the mansion of Zelos Wilder, approximately taken from the mail two minutes and ten seconds ago."

"Thank you." the woman now revealed as Seles replied. She tore open the letter…

Dear Miss Seles

I come not of you today as your half brother--and my master- Zelos Wilder, but as his friendly butler, Sebastian. I have received word from Mizuho that Master Zelos has been killed, and a woman named Sheena Fujibayashi was involved.

Seles crinkled the paper for a minute, then told her maid, "You may leave the room now, Saphfyre."

"Yes, madam" the maid Saphfyre replied, "Thank you for your time."

The maid went out to see her other friends, busy cleaning the house. Saphfyre thought to herself, 'Strange, I almost think I saw a tear…'

Seles, meanwhile continued to read the letter,

Please do not do anything extravagant now, madam.

Too late, Seles had already thrown a crystal glass against the wall. She cried a bit more now. The maids outside shuddered at the noise. Seles began to read the letter once again,

Meet me at The Master's mansion. We shall discuss terms of this matter there.

-Sebastian

"So, the Chosen and Kuchinawa are dead." Orochi said to the Successor of Mizuho, "Sheena, this will not go over well with our people, especially not to say people of Meltokio. It seems I have already received a letter from the Kingdom."

Orochi handed his chief the letter. Sheena read,

Sheena Fujibayashi,

You are hereby sentenced to jail. The Kingdom knows you have killed our Chosen. Shortly after reading this, report to Meltokio immediately. We would like to hear your story.

-Meltokio Royal Court

"Orochi" Sheena said blankly, "Tell the people here the things I have told you, about my journey. Tell them the things you think are only necessary. I'm sorry to leave you again, in such need, but I must go."

Sheena silently left Mizuho on her Rheiard. She traveled across the sky, trying to forget that Zelos was dead. She did feel guilty, but she didn't kill him. Intentionally, that is. She did bring him up to Derris-Kharlan, but she herself didn't kill him. Frustration filled Sheena's head as she landed in Meltokio, storing her Rheiard in a Wing Pack as she landed. She left to the castle, holding the note in her hand.

Seles was crying in Zelos' mansion, Sebastian trying to comfort her. It wasn't working, however. Seles forced herself to stop crying for a minute, and discussed the matters with the butler.

"Now what do we do?"

"You have choices, miss. You can stay here and take what is in Master Zelos' will. Or you could possibly take Sheena Fujibayashi up to court. Or do both."

"Then I shall do both." Seles said, smashing her hand on a table. Cracks began to run up the wood.

Seles watched Sheena walk by in a formal dress, black with golden edged in places. Her hair was still up in spikes, a trait Seles found most annoying. Zelos' sister glared at Sheena with a lot of intensity.

Sheena noticed a pink haired girl staring at her form outside a window. She immediately went to wave, thinking it was Presea. But when she saw the tell-tale hat, Sheena's lifted hand awkwardly moved and set a few strands of hair away from her eyes. Deer Martel, it was Seles! Then she must be plotting against her. The look didn't seem friendly.

Sheena walked faster and hurried along to the Meltokio castle.

Once she got there, the guards let her in, not saying a word. One "accidentally" tripped her, but she ignored it and kept going. She was now face to face with the king.

"I have nothing to say." the King said, "Except this. Tell us what happened on your journey."

Sheena bean to sit down. Once seated she told the whole story of she and Zelos, the new Summon Spirits (she also presented them) and how the two saved the world again from Kuchinawa.

"So, Kuchinawa originated in your village?" The King asked.

"Yes." Sheena answered.

"Then it will you and Mizuho that pay the price!" Seles yelled, bursting in the room, "Sheena Fujibayashi, I take you to court!"

"Ah!" was all Sheena could yell.

A/N : well, starting off well. This won't be that long. This story will take you through the trials and such. There will be new things abound, too, I think. Anyway, read on!
