I have just recover from an illness... Still not in my best... Sorry people... If the storyline is terrible... It seems to me that my brain is thinking more about the different kind of ending that I couldn't choose among them which to write. But in the end I chose this plot. However when I wrote this out, I felt it's kind of boring and meaningless... Gomenasai. Forgive me. But please do read and review. Thank you.
Chapter Six
In a village, a little girl was born. Her father was a swordsman and her mother was the daughter of the village chief. Everyone in the village celebrated the birth of the girl with dances, music and food.
A few months past on and the little girl grew up. One day, a maid came running to the girl's grandfather panting. The grandfather without hesitation ran to his granddaughter's room in time to see the young girl casting 'lightning'. Shocked, confused, the grandfather just fainted on the spot. Her parents were shocked too when they heard the news. A girl who could barely walk or talk had casted a spell... How is it possible?
By the age of four, she had learned all the White Magic spells around.
By the age of six, she had learned all Shamanic Magic.
And by the age of eight, she learned all the spells around.
Her intelligence had surprised everyone around her. Without even teaching her, she had learned all the spells as if they were in her mind. She acted more graceful than any girls of her age. However, on that very day, everyone's opinion on her changed.
It was supposed to be a peaceful day in their village before some low level mazoku attacked the village. The villagers fought their best against them but one by one fell. The little girl's father helped too. Her mother helped to evacuate women and children. The little girl watched in silence as if she was studying the unknown creatures before her. She was so into it that she didn't realized that a single mazoku had came up behind her. Her mother who was stunned to see it, called out to her daughter. Turning to face the mazoku, the little girl smiled.
"Yami no yaiba (I am not too sure if it's right, but what I want it to mean is 'Blade of Darkness'.)."
The mazoku cried out in pain as darkness hit it. Darkness had surrounded the little girl as if it was protecting her. Everyone around looked at the little girl in surprised including the mazoku that were around.
"What are you?" One of the mazoku asked.
"You don't have to know." The darkness swam towards the mazoku and enclosed them in it. The little girl walked slowly towards them, her eyes glowing gold. "Be devoured into my darkness. Return to where you belong."
Dreadful screams of pain sounded as the darkness surrounding the mazoku became smaller and smaller. The people watched in shock, some covering their mouths, some closed their eyes. The little girl's parents were shocked to see their daughter grinning at the scene before her.
After that incident, the little girl was questioned of her action but she refused to cooperate. People started to fear her existence. In the end, at the age of twelve, the little girl left her village.
The little girl was known as the genius of geniuses in the sorcery world, Lon.

"That's quite a story, Lina-san," Xelloss smiled, "Though I know the part on the mazoku."
"Xelloss! I am not joking on this one," Lina snapped, "This is very well known in our world."
"I have heard of it before as well," Amelia admitted while Filia and Sylphiel nodded their heads in agreement.
"If that's true, wouldn't she be a little dangerous?" Zelgadiss questioned.
"Yami no yaiba... The reason why I thought of Laguna Blade was because of that..." Lina started, "She was what I wanted to be. "
"I wondered if her 'Yami no Yaiba' is the one that I saw during the Kouma Sensou..." Xelloss grinned, his finger under his chin.
"How is it like, Oto-san?" Xellia asked in curosity.
"Well..."
"Xelloss!" Filia glared over at Xelloss who smiled a little.
"Filia, don't stop him," Lina sighed, "Xelloss, how is it look like?"
"I don't want my child to have nightmares," Filia protested.
"Fine," Lina sighed even harder, "Xellia, shut your ears."
"I can't," Xellia replied, "I can shut my mouth but there is no way I can shut my ears."
"Why you little..." Lina stood up in anger, Amelia immediately pulled her back.
"Lina-san, relax," Amelia started, "I will bring Xellia-chan to bed. It's past midnight. Good child should be asleep now."
"Well... I can't really tell you how it looks," Xelloss continued, "But what I can say about this attack is that it's as dangerous as Giga Slave and Laguna Blade."
"As dangerous?" Zelgadiss asked.
"She took down an army of mazoku just by using that spell," Xelloss replied, "I was there when she casted the spell."
"YOU WERE THERE?" They shouted at once, while Xelloss continued to smile even brighter.
"Well... That's how I know Lon-chan desu."
"Xelloss!" Lina spoke in anger while Xelloss rubbed his head and the others sweatdropped.
'I can never understand Lon. Right from the beginning... Even now...' Xelloss thought.
Flashback 1
A girl with long brown hair stood in the center, surrounded by corpses. Her eyes were shut as darkness around here vanished. Xelloss appeared on the ground and observed his surrounding and then at the young girl. He had saw how the girl killed all the mazoku with that spell of hers. But he had never seen a spell like it before. How can a human cast such a powerful spell like such?
"Yare yare... Who might you be?" Xelloss asked in polite, smiling.
This girl opened her red eyes and smiled a little, "It's nice to meet you Xelloss, the priest-general of Zelas Metallium."
"So you know my name?"
"We will become friend, Xelloss, and so will your mistress..."
"A mere human befriending a mazoku? Do you think so?"
"In the near future, Xelloss, in the near future..." The little girl grinned while the trickster just stood there in confusion, "You will know someday. You are needed in this world. For this world's future. And by the way, as a matter of respect, my name is Lon. Last name is not necessary I suppose"

Lon walked down the streets of Saillune. It was late in the night. People were making their way home or to the inn. She had decided to leave Lina-tachi for the time being. Knowing very well, they would be discussing about her past. She smiled a little upon this thought. Lina Inverse. She sure was one that interested her the most. She was clever, nevertheless was she good. It was a pity that she wasn't the Knight of Suifeed.
"If she is Knight of Suifeed, it will be more fun..." Lon whispered to no one in particular, "But never mind, she is alright who she is now."
Lon stopped walking and turned to face a church. Her eyes saddened as she looked at the church. Stretching her right arms out, she closed her eyes and whispered a spell. As magical as it seems, a barrier appeared before the church as it slowly broke itself into pieces. After the barrier vanished, Lon opened her eyes and made her way into the church. Everything in the church was in a mess. Blood was everywhere. She continued to make her way down the path until she reached the huge but broken cross. Dusts had gathered upon it. Brushing it clean, Lon sat upon it and looked across the hall. Those memories were so vivid as if it happened just yesterday.
Flashback 2
"Lon, will you marry me?" A young man asked the young Lon. Everything in the church was new and beautiful. People looked at them in shocked as they heard the propose. Lon, however, looked quite annoyed by it.
"Marry you?" She asked in annoy.
"I love you Lon."
"Look, Kousa. The only reason I am helping you is because of the Ryuuzoku. I have no intention of helping you at all. Not to mention love you..."
"You can learn to love me, Lon," Kousa replied as he held Lon's hands tight in his, "Once we are married, you can learn all about me."
"Don't you get it Kousa! I don't love you! We might be partners but I don't have feelings for you!" Lon shouted as she broke his hold.
"Lon..."
"Let me get this straight in your brain, Kousa, no matter how you change, I will never love you. Do you understand me?" Lon shouted as she made her way down the path to get out of the church. Kousa stood on the spot, his fist clenched tightly together.
"Lon, are you not going to give me a chance?" Kousa asked in anger.
"No." Lon simply replied.
"Then I will not give anyone a chance," Kousa whispered as he dashed towards Lon, pulling out his sword and attacked her. Sighing a little, Lon vanished from Kousa's sight and reappeared above him.
"You stand no chance against me Kousa," Lon sighed, "Don't bother trying to kill me."
"If I can't kill you, I will kill everyone around here." And with that, Kousa started to attack the people around. Screams, blood were seen and heard. Lon just floated above as she continued to look at him killing them. She didn't stopped him. She didn't do anything. She just watched people around fell one after another while some ran for their lives.
'So he is going to be the one... The one who bring danger to this world... The one who would come against me...'

"But... Why must you kill them... Why must you do all these just to get me, Kousa? Why?" Lon whispered, "Am I really this worthy for you to do all these? Is love this strong to make one so mad just to get one person? I just don't understand..."
Touching the cross and whispering a spell, a bright light shone throughout the church and dimmed. A red leather book appeared in Lon's hand as she stood on the ground. Lon smiled a little as she touched the cover gently.
"I guess you forgot what I have told you, Kousa..." Lon sighed, "I suppose I will have to make you recall it then... The reason why I can't love you..."
"Make me recall what?" Another voice asked from in front of her. Looking up, Lon found herself facing Kousa who held a sword in his hand down the hall.
"So you have come?" Lon smiled, "I was wondering how long it would take for you to find this place..."
"How can I forget this place, Lon?" Kousa smiled, "The very place where you rejected me..."
"I never accepted you right from the start..."
"Liar! If you never accept me, you wouldn't have gave me this!" Kousa shouted as he brought out the bracelet from his pocket. Lon looked at the bracelet with her eyes wide open.
"You still have it..."
"It's the first gift I ever received from you," Kousa replied, "I will never lose it..."
"You mistaken the meaning of it, Kousa, it's just..."
"I never mistaken anything. Not now, not the past nor the future," Kousa replied as he narrowed his eyes on her, "Now pass me the Book of Infinity Spell."
"Kousa! How long are you going to live in this life? How long are you going to let yourself live in this dream of yours? Just how long are you going to lie to yourself about us?!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the palace, Xelloss looked out of the window as he sensed the presence of the mazoku, Kousa in the city.
"Xelloss, is there something that matters?" Filia asked as she saw Xelloss' expression changed.
"He is here..." Xellia replied before Xelloss as she hugged herself tight upon sensing the man's presence.
"Kousa?" Lina asked, standing up.
"Hai... Lina-san," Xelloss replied as he opened his eyes.
"Alright! He saved us the trouble of locating him. Let's finish this guy off before he starts to make more trouble!" Lina shouted
"You sure you can handle him?" Amelia asked worryingly.
"I am here to protect her, Amelia," Gourry smiled with reassurance while Lina blushed upon hearing it.
"That's right..." Zelgadiss smiled and place his arms around Amelia, making her blushed as well, "And I am here to protect you."
Filia blushed at the scene before her while Xelloss raised one of his eyebrows. Xellia just blinked at the situation. (Author notes: Xellia is too young and innocent...)
"Let's go ne, minna-san," Sylphiel giggled, making everyone sweatdropped at her action.
"... Well, what are we waiting for then?" Lina coughed a little as she signaled the gang, "Kousa, here we come!"
