Disclaimer: I do not own Slayers and its contents.

Yo! Amateur here, a.k.a first Slayers Fanfic. This story will be kinda long, kinda wrong and will have its conflicting moments.

The story centres around two plots - Xellos and Filia's, and the rest of the Slayer's as it will be seen long later in the story. So if you cant take long chapters that slowly build on the story as a whole and take forever to reach the climax... better not .

"Stand back!" Filia yelled, pointing her mace at a group of villagers that just barged into her doors. Picking up Val's egg, she took a step forward, as though daring the villagers to challenge her.

"Why are you attacking me in my home?!" Filia intoned, her mace shaking slightly. It wasn't like she'd had no idea, though.

"We know what you are, and we're not having any of it! Leave, and take that monster with you. And don't you dare return!"

Filia sighed. What with her adventures with Lina-tachi and tail-popping moments in town, trying to settle down has been a big problem. However, the villagers have always been kind enough to kindly request her to leave, or at most ignore her as much as possible. An afternoon invasion demanding her expulsion was a whole new thing...

"My, my, what have we here?" a bemused voice came echoing out of nowhere.

"Xellos?!" Filia said as, indeed, Xellos appeared behind the parting villagers.

"Ahh! A Monster!"

"You're with this guy too, aren't you!?" said one villager, pointing at Xellos.

"It's rude to point, you know," Xellos said as he landed on the ground. Then, walking past everyone into the house, he turned back to face the villagers.

"I think that's quite enough for one day, don't you?" Xellos wagged his finger, and tapped on his staff.

The villagers backed away, frightened.

"We'll be back, lady!"

And they ran...off. They won't be bothering the story again.

"So...Are you going to invite me into your house?"

"Well I must say, I'm rather surprised at the sudden visit, na-ma-go-mi," Filia said, casually ignoring his twitching brow. "Tea?"

"The finest."

Filia took a sip and set down two cups before sitting.

"So, what are you doing here?"

"Can't I see my favourite Golden Dragon?"

"The only golden dragon, if that was the intention of your sarcasm. Just name your business already with me, Xellos. What did Zelas tell her lapdog to do this time?"

"Itai, Filia-san," Xellos sipped his tea, and it was no surprise the water - or tea - level didn't fall as they left his lips. "That was uncalled for!" he said as he rested his chin on his hand, giving a small pout.

"Uncalled for?! What about that time you destroyed the cookies I was making?? Or when you were juggling Val's egg with my kitchen knives?!"

"Aww come on Fil-chan, I was doing your dustbin a favour when I burned your ...uhh... you called them "cookies"??"

Xellos ducked as Filia swiped at him with her mace. At the same time, the cup set down for Xellos was knocked over and shattered into countless pieces as it hit the ground. Tea oozed like blood over the beyond-repair shards of what was fine china - Seiruun.

"And besides! It's not like I would've dropped your finest culinary cutlery or anything - "

"ARGHHH!! I've had it with you! You barge into my house, you drink my tea, you taunt me with your Golden-Dragon jokes, you insult my baking, and now you break my BEST tea set!!"

"Uhh.. you offered me that tea, Filia...And we both know I didn't exactly drink it. If you've given my taunts a name you probably enjoy them, "insult" is a lot less than what your cooking skills deserve and I would say you broke your tea set, Fil-cha -"

"DON'T - CALL - ME - FIL - CHAN!!" Filia screamed and raised her mace, swinging it down with all the strength a golden dragon could muster.

The resulting explosion would have put the Dragon Slave to shame. Just kidding.

"Oh dear," Xellos looked around, the reminiscences of his summoned shield disappearing. "Now you've gone and destroyed your house, too. And they say we of the Mazoku love destruction...not that we love!"

The sounds of charred debris falling could be heard as they fell off the now standing Filia.

"O..Oh no..What have I done? What have I .." Filia said, dropping her mace.

"Murdered the last Ancient Dragon as a Golden one I suppose. Again."

Xellos was not much suited to absorbing these types of negative emotions, but they'd do.

"Val? Val??" Filia called as she desperately clawed at the rubble of her once-home.

"Hm?" Xellos said as he spotted a round object beneath all the gray and dirt. Of course a small explosion like that wouldn't harm a dragon's egg.

Quietly, he picked up his egg and dropped it into his seemingly innocent bag.

This would be a pleasant surprise for Jyuu-oh-sama.

Everyone else will be in the picture later! That was a short introduction. Well then, why don't you tell me what you think? .
