Bound Souls: The Spell Part One (I really stink at names, don't I?)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Xelloss shat on the bed in the back room of Firia's shop. He listened to Firia yell at a customer.
"100 bronze coins! That's an outrage! This high-quality mace is at least worth 100 silver!" Firia quarreled with the customer.
Xelloss smiled. Firia could be so cute sometimes. He took advantage of the situation and had a small but tasty snack. "Anger always tastes better when coming from Firia," snickered Xelloss to himself.
Xelloss heard the sound of a bell, signaling that he customer left. Firia came storming into the room, hit Xelloss on the head with her mace, and sat down on the opposite side of the bed.
"Ow..." Xelloss mumbled, completely unaware she was going to do that.
He was going to feed off her aura of anger again, but got a growl of warning from Firia when he started. Xelloss sighed. Since when she caught him, put a seal on him, and made him work for her a couple years ago, she could sense when her negative emotions were being absorbed by Xelloss. That is, unless Xelloss was a certain distance from her. He was also used as her little squeeze toy with her mace to get rid of stress.
"Hey, Firia..."
Her answer resulted with another band aid on the head.
"I wish she'd stop doing that," Xelloss thought.
He started to get up to wander about the town, but Firia said a quick, growling "Life is wonderful!" making Xelloss facefault.
"Maybe it's not the best to do anything right now..." Xelloss said, not really talking to anyone.
"I think you're right!" Firia snarled.
Xelloss sighed again and sat down where he was standing in, but quickly got bored. So he decided to annoy Firia for a while.
Making the least noise possible, he teleported behind Firia.
"Boo!" Xelloss whispered in her ear, while lightly touching her shoulder.
Firia whipped around, but Xelloss had teleported to the front of her. She turned back around, only to be greeted with a kiss on the lips.
"IDIOT MAZOKU!" Firia yelled at Xelloss after her initial stun. She started chasing him around the room with her mace, and tried to hit him, but that wasn't successful. Xelloss just floated around the room, and when Firia almost got him, he would just teleport somewhere else in the room.
Firia stopped after a while and sat back down on the bed, trying to calm herself down. Business was going way down in her shop, and it frustrating. Xelloss can live without food, he could just take a bite out of her anger and frustration. She, being a dragon, needed a ton to eat. At least Xelloss was getting the good side of the deal.
"How do I get that dang Mazoku to stay out of trouble?" she asked herself, "What if..."
"What if what?" Xelloss questioned, then retreated a little, expecting to get hit again.
"Xelloss, stay here! And be a good boy while I'm gone!" She patted him on the head and went zooming off to the direction of the library.
"Darn, Firia cheers up too fast now," Xelloss thought to himself, "It's not as fun." He lied on the floor for a few minutes, thinking, and decided to fall asleep for a while to pass the time.
Firia ran down to her town's library. When she went in, she began her short search for the book she was trying to find.
"I checked it out a couple weeks ago... aha! Here it is!" Firia checked out the book and went back to the shop to read it. She remembered there being what she needed to learn in this book... or in the series that the book was in. Hopefully it was in there. She read the table of contents to find what she needed, and to her reilief, she found what she was looking for. It was how to share your soul with a different soul. The two souls would be bound, and they would act as one. The only downfall: If they get hurt, physically or emotionally, you would get hurt as well. But Firia was rather desperate, so she was willing to take that risk. Besides, if the other was killed, the caster wouldn't, because of the style of the spell.
Firia went to the page that the table of contents had said to go to, and she was a little surprised. The spell was incredibly long and confusing, the gestures were complicated, and on top of that, Xelloss might not even approve of the spell. But she had to try. For her own sanity.
She went upstairs to her bedroom and flopped onto her bed, determined to memorize the words. After scanning the words, it was a good thing she was a dragon, because it looked like it would take a lot of magic capacity to cast this spell. But she was having a trouble trying to learn the words, because a certain annoying visitor kept on peeking over her shoulder on the bed, and asking her what she was doing.
"Go away!" Firia yelled at Xelloss. He decided this as a really good time to bug her, so he kept on asking.
"Pleeeeease Firia-chan! What are you doing? Pleeeease tell me!" Xelloss whined.
Firia felt like taking one hair at a time and plucking each one off of Xelloss's head. "I'm memorizing a spell, OK? Will you please go now?" she screamed at him.
Xelloss though for a second, then answered, "No, of course not!"
Firia grumbled, and decided not to hit him on the head for him taking in her anger. She just didn't feel like it at the moment. She groaned and went back to her study of the spell. Once again, someone kept on peeking over her shoulder, this time asking what she wanted to do with the spell.
"Oh yeah, I need to ask you something," Firia said to a confused Xelloss. She never had asked a question of him before.
"Yeeeeees?" he asked, opening his eyes just so he could take a small snack of fear radiating for a split second off of Firia.
"Um- this spell I'm learning-- I need someone to cast it on, and... I wanted to cast it on you," she stumbled out.
"Just because I'm you 'servant', as you call it, it doesn't mean you still have the power to cast a spell on me," Xelloss replied. He looked at Firia's pleading face and smiled. "But how could I refuse a face like that?" he added, suddenly leaning up close and touching Firia's nose with his index finger.
Firia jumped back at his sudden movement. "Don't touch me, namagomi!" she scowled, not daring to look into his still-open eyes. Xelloss snickered and teleported away.
"Stupid Mazoku," she said, trying to force away her smile.

Hmmm... I don't think this is a cliffy...-.- Oh well, who cares! Please review so I know you're out there, because I won't update until I at least get a COUPLE of reviews! I need to know people are actually reading this before I finish this story...
OK! Things that might be confusing or I just feel like telling!
1. OK! First of all, the money system! Gold coins are worth the most, and are worth about 100 dollars of our money. Next up is silver, worth about 50 dollars, then bronze, worth about ten. There is also lots of very small copper coins that is worth about 1 dollar of our money. Yep, when Firia sells a mace, she gets a lot of profit. (wow, long explanation)
2. I know, Mazoku don't have a need for sleeping, but they can sleep if they're bored to pass the time. Good pastime if you ask me OoO
3. How the heck could Firia seal Xelloss? The answer is: I have absolutely no clue! It just seemed like a good idea to keep Xelloss around the house with Firia, so I used it. It took two seconds to think up!
Also, this might be a short chapter, it might be a long one. I have no clue! As my first chapter being posted anywhere in the whole world, I'm just seeing how long this one will be. I will make the next chapter longer or shorter to make up for this one. If it's long, I'm going to be happy, 'cause this chapter only took 3 pages of my large handwriting on paper! (I will have an idea when it's up though! o )
EEK! One last thing! (yes, I know I write a TON) Since I'm a poor 13 year old trying to make a decent fanfiction, then please tell me about any grammar mistakes, weird sentences... stuff like that. OK! I'm done now!
