Author's Note: This was inspired by a conversation I had with my two friends. To understand the 'pants less men' joke. I guess you had to be there. This is PURE entertainment. if anything seems wrong. please just go with it. danke. or arigato. or gracias. or thanks, whatever your language may be.

Xellos woke up because his legs were cold. Now, if anyone has ever SEEN the Trickster Priest's pants, they would wonder how on earth he could have gotten cold in them. He didn't really understand it himself, until he looked down and saw his very own purple underwear.

Most people when faced with this situation would have screamed, but not this Mazoku. His underwear was still there, so why should he be worried?

Xellos took a moment to examine his companions, and as he suspected, none of them had pants.

Lina's underwear was a pair of hot pink panties which had 'I love Gourry', written in Sharpie, all over it.

Gourry was in a pair of white boxers with swords on them. Amelia had a rather lacy looking thong (who would EVER have thought that!), and Zelgadis had a deep blue pair of boxers covered with cups of steaming coffee.

Xellos smirked, opening his eyes slightly and staring at them. Should he bother to wake them up, or just go and retrieve their pants by himself?

Hmm. THAT wasn't a hard decision. Not put up with Lina's whining, Gourry's stupidity, Amelia's Justice Speeches, and Zelgadis' moping? Nah. he wanted everyone to be MAD at him for taking their pants! So, he had to find them.

He set out on his journey, humming a happy little tune, when he saw a small pile of ash dragging 5 pairs of pants behind it.

Xellos stepped in front of the ash pile, smirking, "Well, hello there, Gaav. Long time no see!"

'Gaav' the ash pile somehow managed to hiss, "GET OUT OF MY WAY!"

Tsking, the Mazoku Priest crushed the Gaav ash pile and retrieved the pants, putting on his own.

As he expected, when he returned, he was greeted warmly.

"XELLOS! YOU STINKIN' LITTLE HENTAI!"

"Umm. Xellos? How did you get my pants?"

"XELLOS-SAN! STEALING SOMEONE'S PANTS IS UNJUST!"

"YOU MAZOKU SCUM, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

Ah. bliss.
