So many years had passed since everyone split up. Time was like ice, it slowly melted away in the sun of days. Amelia was back home, of course she still protected justice and it so happened that she had found a man who shared the same passion for justice as she did so they were busy as lovers are. Zelgadis was still on his quest for his cure, of course even with his handsome face he was still the lone wolf. Filia was back at her temple, praying and such. No one knew if she had found someone special but someone as pretty as her probably had. Xellos...Well Xellos was probably making trouble for someone or another, just like the little mazoku he is but today...He was resting in a small town enjoying the sight of people rushing by and hurrying off like those pathetic humans did.

"This is quite boring! The last time I saw people have a fight worth watching was with those two fisherman but that was weeeeeeks ago." Xellos sighed and leaned back in his chair until a yell was heard over the crowd. " HEY! That's a BIG rip off you little twit! I ain't paying THAT!!!"

Xellos stood up quickly, there was only one person who would yell like that if it had money involved. He looked around for fire-red hair that was bound to belong to no one other but Lina Inverse. He scanned the area but with no success so he floated over the crowd. The one making the noise wasn't Lina at all but a girl with long blonde hair...kinda like Lina's...and she was waving around a sword...

"Lina Inverse? Did you dye your hair blonde!?" Xellos said as he floated to the ground next to the screaming blonde.

"Huh?" The girl said as she dropped a man and he landed on his ass. She looked over to Xellos but didn't seem to know exactly who he was or why he was talking to her.

"I'm not Lina Inverse." The girl frowned. "How do you know my mother!?"

"Y-your MOTHER!?" Xellos couldn't help but open his eyes in shock, his face faulted as he looked at the girl more closely. "Lina Inverse, is YOUR mother!?"

" Yup, Lilith Gabriev, sorceress/swordsman...er, woman at your service!" The girl chirped in an alto voice. She looked remarkably like her mother Lina, but she also had a lot of her father in her too...Matte!....did she just say Gabriev!?

"You're Gourry's daughter!?" Xellos chocked out in surprise.

" Yes? Why are you freaking out on me like this and who are YOU!?" Lilith growled to Xellos.

"Sore wa himitsu desu " Xellos replied casually, Lilith gave him a glare."It's Xellos Metallium, it doesn't matter if I tell you that."

"Xellos eh? My parents have never told me about you." Lilith said, raising a suspicious eyebrow.

"I suppose that would be a useless thing to do." Xellos laughed.

"What does THAT mean!?" Lilith yelled. Yes, she was VERY much like her mother. So she had beautiful blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes to match and you could never forget that smile...It was so cheerful and full of happiness Xellos wished his smile looked ½ a nice as hers. What was he thinking!? He couldn't have an attraction to this little girl...Well she wasn't that little Xellos guessed.

"How old are you Lilith?"

"I'm 16 sir. Why do you ask?"

"Has it been that long since I have last seen Lina?" Xellos gasped. "Would you mind bringing me to see your mother?"

" Ano, I'm not sure. I'm only in town to fetch my mother some ingredients for a cure."

"Oh?" Xellos found this very curious.

"You seen, my mother has been keeping herself busy these last few years learning how to brew potions and such...Though her last one made father grow a fox tail and a cat's snout. Mother ask me to fetch what she needs to make a cure for father."

Xellos laughed at this. "Are you serious Lilith-chan!? You're mother has transformed your father!?"

" Yes, it's all very true...And please don't call me chan, you make me sound so young!" She pouted.

"Compared to me Lilith-chan you are just a child in my eyes." Xellos murmured more to himself than to the frowning Lilith, who over heard this.

"WHAT!? Just what does that mean now!? You speak much in mystery, you leave much out don't you!?"

"Well, it's best I tell you than your mother. I am a mazoku, there for I am quite old."

"A-A-A..." Lilith's hands shook from hearing these words. She felt the blood from her tanned face rush to her toes as all color drained out of her.

"Oh dear...People now-a-days never seem to like that fact." Xellos sighed. "Please don't make a scene."

"DEMON!!!" Lilith screamed. She drew her sword and held it to Xellos's neck. "Keep away, beast! No wonder my mother never told me about you! Are you out to kill me for revenge of some sort against my parents!? Evil creature go back as to where you came from before I behead you!" Lilith screamed and then swung her sword violently at Xellos but this mazoku was too fast for her and he disappeared without a trace.

" He's gone!? I must have scared him away!" Lilith huffed. She collected her thinks quickly. "I must return home and warn my mother...but right now I'm kinda hungry...!"(*Ruby sweatdrops* with her parents it's only normal ne?)

Lilith ran off towards an inn she was staying at, Xellos soon appeared standing where they once were. He opened his eyes and the small lilac orbs watched Lilith run off with her hair swishing back and forth behind her. She may have been a pretty thing but she certainly was more annoying than Lina.

'Lina...It's been so long now...Did you ever think of me like I, you?' Xellos thought as he brushed his hair out of his eyes. 'Has time been cruel to you or maybe you're just the same. I wish to see you again...'
