The Story about a Demon,

Chapter 1

"Ohayo minasan!"

"Ohayo sensei!"

It was a start of a typical day for the teacher; actually it was beginning to be rather boring. Today, however, was tiresome for the children.

"Sensei, can't we do anything else today?" piped a little boy.

Hmmm... The teacher thought, 'I guess there's nothing much to do today, might as well do as we please.'

"Ok, what should we do then?"

"A story!!!"

"Yeah! Tell us a story please sensei?"

"Hmmm... ok let me think for a bit, hmmm... alright, let me tell you a story about a demon who saved the world..."

"But, teacher, aren't demons evil?"

"Most of them, but this particular demon was not totally evil, although he is very irritating. Now, this started, almost a few hundred years ago... back when magic was still openly and widely used, and well known..."

"Xellos!!! God damn it! Why do you always mess around?" Shouted a very irritated Lina Inverse.

"Yare, yare. All I did was take a close look..."

"Yeah, but you freaked everyone out with your eyes!" cut in Zelgadis

"Lina, I'm hungry..." Goury inserted

Everyone looked at him as if they were seeing a talking amoeba, and was trying to be dumber than before.

"Namagomi" muttered Filia under her breath and shook her head as Amelia jumped up a tree and gave her endearing justice and love speeches (yech!)

"Anyway, Xel, you were talking about some sort of amulet." Lina said.

"I was?"

After a few minutes, Lina can be seen dusting her palms after beating up Xellos, again. "Seriously, what were you about to say about this amulet?" Lina said glaring daggers at the prostate trickster.

"Well, all I know is that it gives the wearer to double his or her magic capabilities and also halves the duration of certain spells, but it also uses twice the amount of energy. Meaning it is only useful with big bang spells, like the Dragon slave. Then again, it would be suicide to use it with the Ragna blade since the way I see it, you can barely keep yourself together using it and doubling it would really be fatal."

"If that were the case, why would we want to get such a troublesome amulet?" Zelgadis put in.

"I'll have you know that there are some other beings, which are already seeking it out. So far, I learned that they can use big spells which doesn't have a duration period." Xellos stated.

"So, if we can't really use it, we should at least keep it away from the enemy, whoever they are." Filia said.

"Who exactly are after the amulet?"

Xellos' shoulder seemed to quiver for a second before answering, "Sore wa Himitsu desu!"

At his answer they mauled him again and left his twitching body while muttering to themselves, "Stupid"

"Mou, demo, if what Xellos is true, it is dangerous to let anyone get the amulet. Anyway we can start by asking around the place." Lina stated, receiving acknowledging nods from her companions.

"Alright! Let's start then, hmmm..... we better split up. We'll meet back at the inn after sunset ok guys?"

Then the group split up, unaware that they were being observed, except for Xellos, who perfectly knew where they were, and decided to humor them a bit, and that such untimely death is such a waste of effort on his part.
