Sweet Dreams
Warmth and pleasure. Yes, definitely very pleasurable. Soft, also, the feeling of something softly… purring? That was pleasurable, too. Don't want to move, never want to move again. This feels so… good?
Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree
A perfect, amethyst eye cracked open to see a mass of blonde hair, 'Mmm… Smells like winter and spice.'
The fur underneath him was oh-so silky, 'I don't remember having a fur bed…'
His hands touched smooth skin and he unthinkingly tightened his arms around it, "Mmm… purrr…."
At the movement in his embrace, Xellos' eyes snapped open suddenly and looked down. Filia lay against his chest with a look of pure contentment on her features. The night came back to the unlikely priest and he smiled. Never before in his life of chaos had he felt such… peace?
Carefully, as to not disturb the sleeping dragon, Xellos moved her off of him and laid her back down upon the rug before disappearing altogether.
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Xellos teleported directly to Zelas' throne room and bowed low. The Beastmaster raised a flawlessly sculpted eyebrow as she looked down upon her favorite.
"Leave us," she commanded the hall of monsters, "I will speak to my Priest alone."
Quickly the lesser creatures exited the room, fearful of their master's wrath.
After the last of them had left, Zelas raised from her lounged position and walked over to the kneeling form, "What is it, Xellos? What is so urgent the you felt the need to interrupt my, rather boring - mind you, meeting?"
"It concerns the Dragoness I visit, Mistress."
"I see. Filia, wasn't it?" the Dark Lord looked down upon her servant, "Oh for Shabby's sake, rise Xellos, you're giving me a creak in my neck!"
The Mazoku Priest stood and smiled sheepishly, "Hai, Mistress. It seems that, all those years ago, when Filia and I merged powers to defeat Dark Star it left her with a piece of me."
"Excuse me?"
"Uh," Xellos tugged nervously at his collar, "Y-You see, since we needed the power of Monsters and the, uh, G-Gods… in order to d-defeat D-Darkstar, Filia and I had to, uh, c-combine out respective magics… and, uh, when t-that happened she, uh, F-Filia ended up with a p-part of m-me in her aura."
Zelas walked around her Priest several times before stopping behind him. The violet-haired Mazoku dared not turn around for fear that her capricious temper would snap at him. Xellos could feel the weight of his Mistress' eyes burrowing into the back of his head, the sensation chilling him through and through.
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
The Mistress of Beasts snaked her fingers though his purple hair, nails digging slightly into his scalp, and yanked causing his head to jerk backwards until he was staring upside-down into his Mistress' eyes.
"BAKA!" the Beastmaster screeched, "YOU DO REALIZE THAT IF SHE HAS A PART OF YOU IN HER THEN YOU WOULD PROBABLY HAVE A PART OF HER IN YOU AS WELL!"
Xellos' eyes grew wide, 'Uh-oh…'
Zelas poured her energy into him, forcing his aura to show. Brilliant darkness surrounded the Priest and his Mistress. Waving her hands through black smoke, Zelas moved it around searching to see if there were any imperfections in his structure. Xellos could only look on in fear and curiosity.
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
Knock, knock!
"Uh… It's too early…"
Knock, knock!
"GO AWAY! I closed that damned shop, NO CUSTOMERS!"
Knock, knock, knock!
"Grrrrrr…"
Filia pulled herself off of the oh-so-comfortable fur rug she had been sleeping on and walked towards the front of the house, pausing only to grab a black satin sheet from her linen closet. With the sheet now firmly wrapped around her she went to the offending door and opened it, ready to give whomever was on the other side a piece of her mind.
"What part of closed don't you…" the dragoness blinked, 'Oh-no…'
Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree
Five people stood, mouth agape, blinking at each other from across the threshold of the house. Two of the five had nosebleeds.
"OH-MY-GODS, FILIA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Lina yelled as she and Amelia pushed the ex-priestess back into her house, away from the boys.
"Miss Filia! I'm surprised at you!" exclaimed the dark-haired Princess, "What, by L-sama's name, possessed you to open the door naked?"
The dragoness just stared at her two old traveling companions, "Hello! This is my house, I'll do what I want to in it!"
Lina barred her fangs, "Never mind that, just go get dressed. NOW!"
Filia shook her head and gave up. Amelia and Lina just stared as her retreating form went up the stairs.
"Is it alright to come in yet?" called Zelgadis.
"Hai, Mister Zelgadis," called the Justice-loving girl, "It's alright now."
Gourry and his stony companion walked into the living room, each holding a piece of cloth to their respective noses. The four friends looked around the room in which they stood.
"Uh," the blonde swordsman scratched his head, "I thought this was Filia's place."
"Yeah, no kidding," replied the petite sorceress, "This doesn't seem to fit Filia at all… come to think about it, neither was the way she was acting."
Zelgadis narrowed his eyes, "But, it does remind me of a certain Mazoku Priest."

'Ugh, I can't believe I have to change my clothes,' she pouted in her bedroom, 'It's not like I invited them over… they just assumed that I'd want their company.'
Filia walked over to her wardrobe and pulled out a pair of black leather pants and a black silk corset with dark violet designs tracing the edges of the top.
'It's not that I don't like them,' she told herself as she dressed, 'It's just that their timing is… inconvenient.'
She pulled a pair of thick, black leather combat boots on and began lacing them up.
'How the hell do I explain this to them?' Filia sighed as she finished and went to her vanity, 'I mean, I don't even know how they will react to something like this…'and pulled her long blonde hair into a ponytail.
Finding that she'd finished, Filia walked back out her bedroom door, 'Oh-well, here goes nothing…'
Hold your head up
Keep your head up
The Slayers' conversation stopped upon seeing Filia's reentrance. Lina and Amelia stared in shock as both Zelgadis and Gourry decided that looking at the ceiling was a much more appealing option then another nosebleed. The dragoness rolled her eyes at the display, but inwardly enjoyed every bit of it.
"Filia?" the small sorceress was shocked.
Pose stuck, Amelia pointed a finger at her old friend, "In the name of Friendship and Justice, I demand to know what's going on! Are you turning to side of all things Evil and Unjust? Has Xellos influenced you so that you are no longer on the side of Goodness?"
"Yes," slithered a cool, feminine voice from the shadows, "I, too, would like to know just how far this has gone."
All eyes turned towards the newcomer as a scantily clad woman with long white hair stepped out.
"And just who are you," demanded Lina as the swordsman and the Chimera fled the room in search of a towel.
"Ah," came the nasal reply, "I can answer that."
Filia, Lina, and Amelia turned to spy Xellos walking into the room.
"You see," he smiled, "This is Lord Beastmaster, my Mistress."
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Several moments passed without a sound as they sized each other up. Zelgadis casually walked back into the living room followed closely by Gourry who was busy stuffing cotton up his nose.
Zel glared at the Priest, "What the hell is going on here, Xellos?"
Filia sighed and walked between the two parties, "Maybe it would be better if I explained…"
Everyone turned their eyes to the darkly dressed ex-priestess and waited patiently for her to begin.
"Maybe we should all sit down," she began, glancing around Filia noticed that she'd taken all of the 'sitting' furniture out of the room, "In the Dining room, I'll serve some tea."
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
After twenty minutes and several cups of tea, the Slayers were filled in on what else had happened at the defeat of Darkstar.
Xellos raised his index finger and smiled, "And, might I add, I like it!"
The Chimera rolled his eyes, "You would…"
"Well, I think the question is how do we reverse it?" asked Amelia.
"No," Lina cut in, "The question is what does Filia want?"
Everyone turned to look at the ex-priestess pouring another cup.
"Well," she said as she set the kettle back down, "I haven't changed that much…"
Everyone in the room face-vaulted except for the dragoness and the Mazoku Lord.
Filia pouted, "I haven't really… I'm still the same person… mostly…"
"Well, I must say I like your tastes," Zelas began, "But, there seems to be more to this story then what you know."
Five sets of eyes turned to the Beastmaster inquisitively.
Xellos twitched, "Filia… I could sure use some more tea… please."
"What do you mean?" Filia asked, ignoring the Priest's request.
Zelas smiled and everyone shuddered involuntarily, "It seems that the transfer of auras was… mutual."
Hold your head up
Keep your head up
"You mean," Zelgadis looked at the Beastmaster like she'd just grown another head, "that thing, er… Xellos, has a part of Filia in him now?"
"Quite right," Zelas smiled seductively at the Chimera, "Very good…"
Gourry glanced up as Zel fled the room, "Oi, what's with him?"
Cat-like eyes turned to the swordsman and soon Gourry went after him.
"Anyways," Lina shook her head, "What does this mean to you, Zelas?"
The Mazoku Lord leaned back in her chair and placed a finger to her lips in a thoughtful gesture, "Well… no one's noticed it yet, and it has been a while… not to mention that he's still following my orders without any problems…"
Xellos watched his Mistress very carefully as she spoke, "I guess I could make another…"
Subconsciously, Filia began to growl and the Beastmaster smirked.
"If… I wanted to," she continued, "But seeing that I don't and he isn't causing me any problems… then I'd like to see how this plays out."
Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree
After a few more questions Beastmaster Zelas left claiming she had other 'duties' that simply could not wait any longer.
Less than thirty minutes after that the Slayers left, Lina and Gourry pulling Amelia and Zelgadis behind them, having learned that Filia did not have enough food to accommodate them.
Xellos and Filia sat at the dinning room table, their tea still in front of them, eyes locked together.
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Filia purred in contentment as she lay against Xellos' bare chest, their limbs entwined together as he absently ran his fingers through her hair.
"You know what?" she asked.
"Hmm?"
"This is what sweet dreams are made of," she replied, nuzzling into his flesh.
Xellos smirked and kissed her forehead, "Who am I to disagree with that?"
AN: I know I took forever and a day to write this! Sorry! I don't think I'll write more on this (i.e.: another songfic set after this one) because I have no ideas for one… but, should any of you really want one and you have a good idea, I'll give it my best shot! I just want you to know that you have just finished reading my first SEQUEL! YAY Now… You know what to do! REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW!
