Xelloss and his Pillow

Whenever Xelloss slept - not that he *needed* to, just because he enjoyed it. - and he had his special pillow. He kept it tucked away in a dimensional pocket, so no one would see it. Why was he ashamed of this pillow? Well, it might have been because it was in the shape of large fluffy duck. Anyways, one night, at an inn, he decided to make use of his room and sleep for a bit.

Lying on the bed, he pulled out his special pillow from the dimensional pocket and pushed it under his head and laid there. A few moments later, he sat up, then punched the pillow a few times, giving it a raised eyebrow, and laid back down. A few seconds later, he sat up, glaring at annoyance at the pillow.

"What the..?" He pushed the fluff in the pillow around a bit, punched it on it's fluffy beak, then laid back down. A few seconds later, he stood up, and gave it the "I'm the mazoku Xelloss, you are my pillow, now bend to my goddamn will" look. The pillow barely flinched. Xelloss calmly picked up the pillow, fluffed up, and put it back on the bed, and laid back down. How silly it is, to get angry at a fluffy yellow ducky pillow!

Then, twisting and turning for a few minutes, he abrubtly stood up, picked up the offending pillow, dropped it on the ground, then started jumping up and down on it, muttering. "You DAMNED pillow, I'll send you to pillow HELL, how DARE you not FLUFF UP while I'm trying to get some SLEEP, which I haven't gotten a few DECADES" In the room below, a few sharp angry taps with a broom came up. Xelloss stomped a few more times to piss off the people underneath. A muffled "fuck you" came up through the floor.

Xelloss kicked the pillow one last time, placed it back on the bed, and grumbling, laid back down.

He sat up, for about the umpteenth time that night. "For the love of L-Sama!!" He calmed down. He glared evilly at the pillow, then laid down. "No use getting pissed off at a pillow.."

Or so he says.

The next morning, Zelgadiss and Lina came up, looking pissed. Lina kicked the door open, and screamed, "Dammit Xellos! What the HELL did you do last night?! Zel and I didn't get any sleep last night!" Filia and Amelia came up, looking sleep-deprived.

"How unjust, Xelloss-san! I didn't get any sleep last night, because of the crashing you made last night!"

"Yeah, Namagomi! Me neither!" Filia hefted up Mace-sama, glaring. She muttered in an undertone, looking sideways at Lina and Zelgadiss. "Not the only reason I didn't get any sleep last night.."

Chosing to ignore that comment, Lina looked around the room. "…?!" Scorch marks all over, the bed in ruins, and burning pile of yellow cloth, fluff, and a object that looked like a beak, and a small object rolled and hit Lina's foot. She picked it up. "….. Uhm.."

Zelgadiss took it from her. "…. It's.. a plastic eyeball…"

"…" Sweatdrops collected on everyone's heads.

Everyone looked around the room, and found Xelloss in one corner of the room, cloak over his head, and shuddering.

"……" Double sweatdrops.
