Anyway! This takes place before the War of the Mazoku. It explains why Filia wears the gem around her forehead and why Xellos carries his rub staff. It's just an idea that popped into my head. Lately lots of fictions have been popping in my head >. Well enjoy The Kiss of the Mazoku!
It was the Dragon's Holy day. Every Holy day the dragons would go to Ceipheed's temple and worship. The dragons in the north, mostly air or water dragons, gathered together at their respective temple, likewise the dragons in the south, mostly fire, earth or soul dragons. The west had all different kinds of dragons, mainly the lower kind, as did the south.
Filia Ul Copt bit her lip nervously, looking for any sign of reaction in anyone's faces. 'Figures… they always let their guard down in here!' She thought.
'Go away before you get caught!' She screamed in her mind.
'Now Filia… I didn't think you were so worried about me.' Came a taunting reply.
'I'm not. Though I don't want to get in trouble for you. I'm sure you would make up some excuse dealing with me.' Filia argued.
'You think so?' The voice laughed. 'Hmm… I think so to.'
Filia sighed. This was not the place for this. 'Go before you get caught.' She said again.
'If you say so, Filia.'
Filia felt something float beside her and the dragon beside her. She froze; thinking the dragon would sense the mazoku. The dragon just looked on forward, listening to the sermon.
'Xellos…' She seethed, glaring at the figure that was in front of her. Though he was invisible, she could sense him. She wasn't the highest priestess for her health! Xellos grinned and leaned down and drop a kiss on Filia's nose. Filia blushed and her tail flopped out.
Filia's mother looked over at her. "Filia… be still!" She commanded quietly.
"Yes ma'am." Filia whispered back, cursing Xellos in her mind. She took
a peek over to her friend, Mica. She hadn't noticed Xellos. Then that would
mean…
After service…
Filia shook everyone's hand with a smile, nodding to the questions in such. She did this every Holy day. It wasn't that much of a drag. The single males in the service would always want to linger around. She really wasn't interested in most of them. They were all so… alike. She wanted something different.
She happy when it was time to leave. She had dinner to do with her parents and the High Elder, then devotions, which she did every Holy Day in the Rose meadow a little ways from her house, then magic studies with her mother. Every Holy Day was the same. Nothing ever changed.
After she helped her mother set the table for parents, the High Elder, his mate and herself, she took her place standing behind her chair. After the Elder blessed the food, she sat down in her chair. Though she was on the brink of being an adult, she still was expected to keep quiet. She was only a 495-year-old dragon and wouldn't be an adult till she was 500.
She had feeling Xellos would have been hanging around if it weren't for the ward Filia's mother put on the house. Even Xellos couldn't get past it.
"The revival of Ceipheed is going very well. I suspect that the mazoku will be involved sometime soon though." The High Elder (Saichuro-sama was what they called him) said.
"Have we any battle plans?" Filia's father asked.
"Just a few. The mazoku will be taken by surprise with these. I'm sure you will be participating for the arrival of Ceipheed, Miss Filia?" He turned to Filia, who was quite surprised she was spoken to.
"I would be honored if I could participate." Filia answered meekly.
"Well then that'll be the whole Ul Copt clan. The mazoku don't stand a chance!" Saichuro-sama chuckled.
Filia cringed. She really hated how The High Elder laughed. Then again he was older than most of them. She picked at her food, eating a little. She really wished to get out to the Rose Meadow. She finally figured out what Xellos was doing and figured out a suitable punishment for him.
"I need to speak to your father and mother, Filia so would you please excuse us?" Filia blinked at the High Elder's request.
"Y-yes sir. Excuse me Mama, Papa," Filia bowed slightly to each of them. "I'm going to the Rose meadow."
Filia didn't wait for a reply and happily skipped out of there. She picked up her mace and hooked it to the pink iron garter belt on her leg. She grabbed her bible and headed out of there.
Xellos waited for his instructions, slightly impatient, from The Beastmaster Zelas Metallium. He was a bit anxious to see Filia. He knew that she finally got the trick that he did repeatedly, every Holy Day, to her.
"I'm happy with your progress with the dragoness. With your relationship with her we could win the upcoming war." Zelas Metallium said with a wave of her hand.
Xellos just nodded. Zelas and the other Dark Lords kept saying there was a war coming soon, but he still hasn't seen any sign of it. He had a feeling that they were keeping something back from him.
"Won't those dragons be surprised when they find out what's happened." Zelas laughed. "Now Xellos you remember what I said, right?"
"Sore wa himitsu desu!" He said wagging his index finger.
"Excellent! Zephelia Grape Wine before you get back." Zelas waved her hand dismissing him.
He quickly bowed and teleported to the Rose meadow where he and Filia regularly met. 'Filia really is beautiful, though I don't think she would believe me if I told her.' Xellos grinned, starting to walk closer to her.
He stopped, looking to the side, noticing Filia's friend Mica a little ways away from him. He quickly teleported into the astral plain waiting till the girl left.
"Filia-chan. Nice service today, ne?" Mica said in her usual delicate voice. "Devotions? I thought you'd still be in dinner with Saichuro-sama."
"He has to discuss something with, Mama and Papa so here I am. Did you see me walking here?" Filia asked. People never really came here on Holy Days. She hoped Xellos didn't pop up while she Mica was here.
"Yes. So I decided to give you things that were delivered to me for you." Mica reached in her pocket and handed Filia a few letters.
"All these are for me? What are they?" Filia sniffed the envelope.
"Love letters." Mica said simply with a giggle. "I'm surprised you haven't had any yet."
"Well I have, but…" Filia looked warily at the envelope.
"Well I'm going to go to leave you to your Devotions and Love Letters." Mica smiled softly, standing up.
"I'll see you tomorrow at school, Filia." She bowed and walked away.
"Bye, bye!" Filia waved then sighed and leaned against her tree. She set the love letters aside and picked up her bible.
"Love letters, Filia?" Filia immediately recognized Xellos' voice.
"Read them if you must. But don't come crying to me if you get a mind attack." Filia said, disinterested.
Xellos appeared next to Filia, laying his head down on her lap. He looked up at the cover of her bible before reaching for the letters.
"Hmm… Here Filia. A potential mate for you. I would read it to you, but Uh, I read it once and I don't think I could survive reading it again." Xellos moved Filia's bible to let her see the green look on his face.
"Told you not to read it." Filia smirked, poking him in the stomach. "And I finally figured out that spell you use."
"Punishment for me with your mace?" Xellos asked teasingly.
"Nope… Worse. I'll sing you a few songs from our hymnal."
"Is that really necessary?" Xellos tried his best cutest face.
"Either that or Seyruun's best Justice Speech. You could pick." The wind blew the whole to the ears Mica Al Nikkei.
She turned around, lifting her feet off the air to quietly sneak up on Filia. She looked out from behind a tree a few feet away from the couple. Her eyes widened recognizing Xellos. She watched Filia laugh at some thing he said. Xellos then sat up and folded his hands in a begging manner.
They were speaking in a whisper so Mica couldn't hear what they were talking about though she desperately strained her ear to hear. She watched as Xellos placed his hands on the ground on each of Filia's sides. Filia placed her hands on Xellos' cheeks and they both moved forward for a kiss. Mica's eyebrows furrowed, seeing that Filia was plenty familiar with Xellos' kiss.
"Filia… how could you…? How could you betray the dragons." She whispered before running out of there.
Filia and Xellos were too busy in their kiss to hear the leaves crunch under her step.
"Devotions, Xellos… I need to do my devotions." Filia said breathlessly a few seconds later.
"Sure Filia. What ever you say." Xellos grinned and lied back down on her lap. "Read something out loud."
"Hmm… OK. In the beginning the Lord of Nightmares created the 4 worlds. The fourth world was without form or void because last time she created it, the mazoku destroyed it. That made her really sad so she commanded the dragons to destroy them." Filia ad-libbed.
"Which then when the dragons and the holy guys destroyed them, the world was unbalanced so then L-sama was madder." Xellos added.
"Angrier." She corrected.
"Whatever." Xellos sighed. "So what are the dragons up to next?" He asked.
"If I knew I would not tell you." She smirked.
"That's not fair." Xellos pouted.
"Then tell me what the mazoku are doing and I'll tell you what we are doing." Filia offered.
"Well… The mazoku plans are a secret!" He answered, wagging his finger in her face.
"Talk about not being fair." It was Filia's turn to pout.
"You didn't expect me to tell you did you?" He asked.
She didn't have time to answer him because the bells rang to announce it was 3:00. "Oh! I gotta go!" She exclaimed, gathering her letters and stuffing them in her bible.
"And to think I didn't at least get one hit with your mace. I think you are dropping your guard, Filia." Xellos tapped her nose.
"Who says you aren't dropping your guard." Filia teased back, stepping closer to him.
"I'm powerful. I can't just drop my guard like that." Xellos murmured before kissing her.
"You know, it seems I always have to do my devotions at night because you waste my time during the day." Filia said, after their kiss.
"You know you don't mind." He grinned, tapping her nose with his index finger.
Filia balled her fist and let it come down on Xellos' head. "I'll let you know when I mind." She said, hitting him a few more times.
"Your hits will always be in my heart, Filia." Xellos jumped in the air out of Filia's reach. "Until next time." He winked before teleporting out of the clearing.
"Stupid mazoku…" She muttered with a slight grin.
