Forbidden Feeling - 2
WOW! I can't believe I even got 6 reviews...that is like...one a day! Although one of them was doubled. I'm new to this kind of thing and that was very flattering. smiles I see why everyone wants them so bad now. Actually to tell you the truth this fic was supposed to be a one shot....but since I was asked so nicely, grins I'll continue it!!
For my Reviewers because they are such wonderful people:
Alexiel-sama: I'll try to make it a happy end but right now I am full of angsty goodness. Bear with that and I'll try to show you a happy end.
The Weird One: pat pat You always have too much sugar. ^_~ See you in French.
Cayenne: After your review, I finally decided to try and do another chapter, so now, who knows how long it'll be!! ^_____^
Xellas M: Well, now I'll be continuing. So no worries about that. But if you'd like to give me suggestions at all feel free!! I like creative critisizm. ^_^
Sunfreak: Is is really difficult to find an original approach with X/Z pairing? Hm, I never knew. Actually I came up with this idea when I wrote in my own diary. And then, because I liked that pairing, I dreamt this and low and behold, I finally typed it up. This story though, is actually two years old. LOL If you want more I'll try to dig them up alright? All you have to do is ask. ^_^
Disclaimer: Like I've mentioned before I own noone in this fic!! I'm just using them against their will and the will of their creator. HAH! Take that Lord of Nightmares!!! laughs maniacally Anyways, if you want to sue me I now not only have pocket lint to offer, but I also have a pencil I bought today!! Please don't take that from me though....I need it to draw my inspiration!! pouts
'I can hardly believe I've thought about last years events so much. It quite disturbs me really. I found it odd that shortly after Xelloss said those things...that he suddenly dissappeared, and he stayed away as well. Did that leave an odd truth to his words?' Zelgadis shook his head. There was no way that Xelloss could have had any feelings for him...he was a mazoku. Right? If anything, that stood for lies and deceit. Although, why would Xelloss even think about saying anything like that to him, of all the creatures that stood. It had to be another joke... Besides, curiosity killed the cat, so why worry now?
Although many times over the chimera had tried to forget the disturbing images and thoughts, he couldn't seem to leave it to rest. In the beginning they were nightmares and they seemed to frequent his mind alot. But now what was worse, is it had hardly even disturbed him any more. In fact, Zelgadis had almost gotten used to the idea of intamacy with the mazoku. It was those dreams and thoughts that made him feel like he was starting to go insane. Which couldn't be good. Definitely not, especially if it was Xelloss that he was thinking about.
Before he could think any farther a voice seemed to call him out of the daze he was in. "--gadis? Zelgadis-san?" It was Ameria, "Are you alright? You seem to be rather untalkative today..."
"Yeah, well....more untalkative than usual anyhow. So what's wrong with you? Why all of a sudden are you so broody? The fish is good!! So, just relax!" Lina smiled at him and a small tinge of mischief glinted in her eyes, "Besides, you need to loosen up!! So just eat the fish and talk, and go merrily along with the conversation! I don't want to have to force you myself you know." Beside her Gourry was too busy stuffing his face with food, but he managed a short agreement though mouthfuls of fish.
"Hey!! Save some of that for me you jellyfish for brains--" Lina promptly grabbed a hold of the fish in Gourry's hands and pulled on it ripping off the lower half and stuffing it into her own waiting mouth. The war was on. Hands were flying to reach the closest piece of fish, before it was gone. Between their bouts of violence, Ameria snatched a few pieces for herself, unable to compete with the flying hands of her two travelling companions.
Zelgadis just sighed. That was, he sighed before getting to his feet and walking over to where they were set up for camp this particular time. They weren't anywhere near a town yet. It was still a few days travel. So in the tents they would sleep. It wasn't that he was being broody...it was...ok so he was being broody. But, after all there was alot going though his mind at the time.
"Mr. Zelgadis?...Where are you going?" The small princess of Seyruun asked politely.
"I've got a slight headache Ameria. I think I shall retire for the night. I'll see you all in the morning." And with a swish of his hand the flap of his tent was opened and he was in. Letting it close behind the chimera quite quickly.
Lina eyed his tent suspiciously. Something obviously was wrong...but how to pinpoint it? Lately...actually for the past half a year, to be precise, Zelgadis had been acting quite unusual...and completely broody. What did he have to brood over anyways? And why couldn't he share? In any case, she'd have to make a point to ask him later. Well, force him out of it later.
Zelgadis unrolled his own sleeping roll in the tent and pulled the cape from his shoulders. 'Why? Why can't I stop thinking about those words?' Sighing he got changed into a more comfortable set of pajamas. 'Why is it that the only thing in the world that seems to matter right now, is to get closure on this topic?' The chimera pulled the upper blanket down just far enough to crawl in and get a little warmer. 'Why is it that I want to hear it again...?'
Staring at the top of his tent, Zelgadis almost wished it wasn't there so that he could look at the stars and ponder his own future with this topic. Maybe, he'd get something out of it. Maybe he wouldn't. But who really knew if he didn't try.
'What if I never see him again? What if....he never comes back?' Zelgadis furrowed his brow, 'What if, it could have been different?..'
Those were the last thoughts of Zelgadis Greywords before he drifted into a semi-peaceful sleep. Dreaming of his friends, adventures....and of the one thing that had been on his mind for nearly a year...It wasn't as if the dreams weren't welcome. They had obviously been haunting his brain often enough, becoming such a habit that now they were almost craved. A horrible addiction really.
Xelloss. It was that particular mazoku that haunted his dreams. It was that demon who kept his sleep away. It was Xelloss whom he thought of almost every waking moment, almost as if he was now more important than finding the cure the chimera had wanted for ages. Zelgadis tossed a little in his bed, trying to seperate his mind from the nightmares that were increasingly stronger.
What he didn't know, is that watchful eyes studied him from a near branch as he'd entered his tent. It was those very watchful eyes that waited for their chance. The violet eyes closed, hiding the concern they'd shown only a moment before. And then they'd dissappeared along with their demonic owner.
