Ta da! A new story! It follows my last one. If you haven't read the last
one, that's alright. You'll catch on pretty quickly as to who is who.
(Chibi Xaina come's running out...wait, Xaina already is a chibi... Regular Xaina comes out.) Now, before anyone asks, no this is not a lemon. This never will be a lemon. FF.net doesn't allow lemons anymore, and Tealya's not good at writing that sort of stuff anyway. Xellos says this will most likely get lemon scented and definitely lime, but no all out lemon. Young impressionable people like me could be reading so we can't corrupt them... well, corrupt them more then more then they already are. Anyway, on with the fic.
(Tealya comes back out with several mean looking lawyers behind her) Oh, and by the way, I don't own slayers. I really want to but no one will give them to me. I do, however, own Xaina, Destiny, and the birds (Prince, Dragon, Monster, and Outcast) and the main ideas behind this story.

Everything around her was dark. There was no light anywhere, except around her body. She knew she should be afraid of such darkness, and yet she wasn't. There was something comforting about it. She hugged her legs to her chest and let her head rest on knees. Her eyes stared lazily off in to the endless darkness as she let out a small sigh of contentment. Questions of where she was or how she had gotten there were far from her mind. Things felt "right" so she didn't try to change them.
A pair of strong hands reached around from behind her and wrapped around her body. She suddenly found herself standing with no memory of ever moving. The hands clasped her tightly yet were gentle. She sighed again and leaned back against the body of this man behind her. Small kisses were placed on the top of her head. One of the hands slipped over her breast while the other slipped lower and lower down her abdomen...
~~~~~
Filia jerked as she suddenly woke up. The dragon woman glanced around the room just to be sure she was awake. Lina and Amelia were both in their beds asleep. Destiny was meditating in the corner. The female birds were settled by the window huddled together. Xaina was snuggled up in the same bed as the dragon woman. Moonlight spilled in through the windows. Filia groaned and slowly sat up, being careful not to wake the sleeping child as she did so. The last thing she needed was an exhausted half monster child on her hands in the morning.
As she heard Lina grumble something in her sleep and roll over, she began to wish the inn had had more then two rooms available. Lina's sleep talking tended to keep her up a lot. She wouldn't have minded sharing a room with Amelia since the young princess hardly ever talked in her sleep. 'It couldn't be helped,' she mentally reminded herself. 'They only had two and there's no way I'm sharing a room with that nomagomi.' The young dragon woman glared at the wall that separated the two rooms as if she could see him through it.
She took a deep breath and then settled back down among the blankets. Filia cradled the child in her arms and wished she had Val there with her too. She had been away from home now for two months and she was sure Jilas and Grobos thought she was dead. While she knew they loved little Val, she wasn't always too sure of their parenting skills. 'He had better be safe when I get back,' she thought as her mind started dipping back in to dreamland.
~*~*~
Her head buzzed and her breathing was shallow. Her vision refused to focus and the room felt like it was spinning. All of her muscles felt relaxed. Moving any part of her body felt like she was trying to control a puppet on strings. Had she been older, Xaina might have recognized the symptoms as the effects of depressant drug. Since she was only four, however, she thought she was ill. That wasn't to far from the truth, though. The child sat up. She tried to focus her vision on one of the adult women there but the room refused to stop spinning. After several moments of concentrating, she figured out they were not awake.
Xellos... he's not asleep? He doesn't sleep? her mind made it sound like questions than facts she already knew. The girl tried to concentrate on teleporting, but every time she thought she was just about there, her whole mind would get fuzzy. The little neko monster refused to give up. Somehow, the girl managed to stand up and try several more times. Nothing. In fact, now that she thought about it, she couldn't really feel any of her monster abilities. Feeling a slight panic rising up in her mind, she reached around to grab her tail or wings (whichever she could find) and make sure they were still there. Instead, she found she had turned to fast and ended up face down in the bed again.
A small tinkling sound behind her brought her attention to the bell on her tail ring. Yep, she still had a fuzzy black tail. The black and white things that were draped over her sides had to be her wings. Her amethyst eyes focused in on the bell as her tail wagged lazily. The neko monster purred and a contented smile spread across her little human face... Her mind suddenly jerked back to attention. She had to get to Xellos. That was her goal, right? She was having trouble keeping track of what she was suppose to be doing.
With slow, carefully calculated movements, the child managed to gently get out of the bed and make her way to the door. Her little bare hands groped at the nearest objects they could find for support. Her feet dragged over the floor. Just as she was about to touch the wood of the door, she felt a strong pull as if millions of strings had been tied to her. "What...? Oh, the bond thingy. Mus' be too far." She gave a tug at the invisible rope but it refused to move. The girl pulled harder. Her breath started come in shallow gasps and she stopped. Xaina's muscles suddenly turned to jelly and she flopped to the ground face first. She tried to force herself to get up but couldn't. Her body just didn't want to cooperate with her. This was so frustrating. Using all her strength, the girl turned herself on to her back, crunching her wing in the process. Pain shot up her back. She couldn't do anything and all attempts at moving off her aching wing failed. Xaina finally gave up her fight to move and gave in to her instincts that told her exactly how to react in this kind of situation; she burst out in loud sobs of anguish. Just as she had intended, she startled the women awake and brought the attention she desperately wanted to herself.
Lina was the first one up and to her. The sorceress' face was completely white as if she'd seen a ghost. She dropped down to child and scooped the girl up. Her face looked panicked. The sorceress kept saying something but Xaina couldn't for the life of her, force herself to quiet down enough to make out the words. The sobs just got harder and harder as she tried to keep quiet. Filia and Amelia dashed over to the sides of the red head and began speaking as well, but she still couldn't grasp it all. All she could figure out was her name, but even that was a little garbled.
~~~~~
"From the sounds of it, that brat has probably woken up the whole inn by now," Zelgadiss grumbled as he climbed back up in his bed.
Xellos smirked for a moment as he took in the negative emotions. This was a good morning snack. In fact, he would have happily stayed their all day if he was guaranteed to be allowed to feast on the chimera's misery. The wave of panic and anguish from his young charge, however, could not be ignored for long. Something must have been very wrong if she was crying this loud so early in the morning. He could never recall a time in her life when she had made so much noise. The trickster sighed internally and disappeared from the room and reappeared in the next room. Lina, Amelia, and Filia could yell at him all they wanted to for appearing in their room uninvited later. However, he had a feeling, they would most likely be grateful for him to take her and keep the girl quiet.
The first thing the monster noticed when he appeared in the room was all of the woman, except Destiny, were surrounded around the wailing child Lina held in her arms. All of them were in the complimentary pajamas the inn provided and all of them were panic stricken and tired. Destiny was by the window watching the whole scene while she stroked the white bird. The second thing he noticed was the interesting and familiar pungent aroma in the air. Oh how he had longed for that smell. He knew exactly who it came from and why. The monster couldn't help but grin like a cat that had just spotted a helpless mouse when he laid his slitted eyes on her.
Another powerful wave of panic overtook him. 'Duty then pleasure,' he assured himself. 'And there will be plenty of time for pleasure later.' The trickster teleported in front of the women, snagged the crying girl, and before any of the women could protest, he teleported on to the roof.
Xellos placed one finger in her mouth and the girl chomped down on it. Her little fangs easily went through the pseudo flesh. A moment later, she realized what she had done and shyly released his finger. Xellos smiled. "Better?"
"No," Xaina whimpered.
"Light headed, dizzy, tired, heavy, slow, nauseous?"
"All 'cep the nah-sis," she girl breathed.
"Figured as much. You're still too little to appreciate the situation..."
"Apee-see-ate being sic'?" Her words slurred and she sounded more like a two year old then a four year old speaking.
"Well, yes I guess it is kind of an illness. You'll feel better in a few hours. You just need time for the pheromones to wear off."
"Huh?" Her droopy eyes stared at him in confusion.
"Didn't you notice the weird smell in there?" The girl shook her head. Xellos smiled. Oh, now this was going to be fun. "Well, ya see, Xaina..."
(Chibi Xaina come's running out...wait, Xaina already is a chibi... Regular Xaina comes out.) Now, before anyone asks, no this is not a lemon. This never will be a lemon.
