MOON SAYS: Well this is the third in my 4 part series of MMX! Sigh.....I didn't edit it again. I will one day when I am bored just like Xelloss. I wish I knew Xelloss, loved to go out with him. Sadly in this series, my Mazoku can't love or feel postive emtoions.....though that can cahnge at the drop of a hat. Well, let me rephrase that, the direction of my will. I am the author after all.
QUESTION: Look between MMX and MMXAIG, the first is in 3rd person and the second is in 1st person which is better? Well...the rest of this series is in 1st person, maybe I need to go back and change it...nope, too much work. YEp that is me the lazy girl.

Matchmaker Xellos…Again?
Chapter 1
"You called Zelas-sama?" I asked with my head bowed and my voice filled with all the respect I have. With her you didn't play around. Luna was the only one (besides maybe Lina) that could get away with disrespect.
It didn't matter to me, I respected her anyway. She created me, but besides that, I have seen what she can do. That isn't what I want happening to me.
Zelas yawned, yes she was already bored. Wonder where I get it from? She gave me a look, damn. IT was just like the one Gourry gave me—the one that was like 'isn't it obvious' when she gave it to me, it wasn't an insult. When my master gives me that look—which she never does—I feel like a real idiot. Not like Gourry idiot, its a few steps above that.
Her voice brought me from my thoughts. "Otherwise you wouldn't be here, would you my pet? Now I have heard something interesting, would you like to tell me, my dear?"
Luna walked into the room. Of course it had to have been her. I mean, damn, Zelas wouldn't even care what I do, unless she told me to do it. I can only guess what she told my master.
Luna smiled, "I groaned internally, my mask was up full force. So no one knew what I was thinking or if I was really groaning. That was a plus, but I knew it wasn't going to save me now.
"I heard from some wounded bandit that the flame haired girl known as the bandit killer, had a ring on her finger. Do you know anything about this Xelloss?" Luna asked, all fake niceties were all around her words.
I raised an eyebrow. Lina already was married? Wow that was quick. I never expected someone like her to get married, especially so quickly, too. I guess I did a very, very good job.
But I know that now wasn't the time to get my ego up. By Luna's words she did want to know why there was a ring on her little sister's finger.
I thought for a moment, if that was all she knew, why did she come here? I then voiced my own question. "And what are you leaving out Luna-san?"
She smirked. We both knew I was smart—in my opinion smarter then her—and would figure it out. I kept my mask clean, not showing anything. I beat her.
"Well, it seemed she was screaming she was going to beat your ass. Well debating it really. Either she was going to kill you or she was going to…well she never said. He passed out, before she finished her debate."
I understood now. I smirked this time. "So you think I put ring on her finger eh?"
Luna nodded and I couldn't help it. My mask broke and I laughed. My master and Luna were shocked. "You think I married Lina? My God do I look dead to you? If I did, I wouldn't have time to get away. She would have Giga Slaved my ass. It wouldn't have matter if she lost control or not."
Luna sighed like, well there goes that theory. "But you know why and what happened, now tell me!" She glared at me, I knew that glare. Lina graced me with me it quite a few times.
I nodded, "Of course I know. I am the cause of it." I smirked evilly.
Zelas raised an eyebrow and spoke for the first time since she stated the obvious. "What did you do?"
"Zelas-sama I must confess now. I was really bored and knowing Lina-san like I do, I know he will regret what he did sooner or later." I smiled t he smile I own that says, 'I know something you don't know,' because in this case like all others I do.
"What did you do and who is he?" Luna asked, more concerned now.
"I was bored so I became a matchmaker. I had Gourry kidnapped, and then had Lina and Zelgadis Greywords save him. Then I am afraid I lost my temper—momentary—and push one on the other. It seems that according to you they got married. I will confess I haven't seen them since I pushed one on the other. So I didn't know till you said something that they had married."
Zelas laughed, "How many times did you do this?"
I calmly replied, "two actually. I had just finished forcing Gourry to marry that White Magic Priestess Sylphiel. The one I believe who used to live in the original Saragg."
Zelas laughed again, as well as Luna. Apparently I wasn't he only one who found what I did funny. That was good. It seemed I wasn't in trouble. I thought ….
When Zelas calmed herself she said, "Since you love playing around I want to impose a test my pet, of your matchmaking skills. You will lie successfully to two dragons. By lying to them, you will be making them do something. No limits, no expectations, but the successful outcome of the mission, that is all."
