Chapter 36: Just one more reason why your the most beautiful girl on the earth.
*This Chapter Is From Xellos's point of view, so it might seem a little poetic*
My eyes pryed themselves open early that morning.
I looked over at My Reason For Living.
She was tangled in the white sheets of the bed we had slept in that night, the sheets barely covering her chest.
Her orange curls speard across the bed, a few of them came close to me, they were close enough that I could reach over and get my hand tangled in her candy-colored swirls that never seemed to end.
I watched the rise and fall of her chest as I let myself wake up alittle more.
It was alittle brisk in the room, then I remember Lina had probably left the window open because we were warm when we went to bed last night.
Lina.
Just thinking her name in my thoughts made my face grow flushed and my heart skip a few beats.
Lina.
Her name meant that she was pretty and graceful.
Which to me, couldn't be more true.
I sat up alittle and pushed Lina's bangs out of her eyes.
This had become a habit of mine.
Whenever I seemed to do so Lina would feel relaxed and calm.
This, in return, made me feel relaxed and calm.
Her eyes fluttered open from feeling my touch.
"Good Morning my sweet." I said, my hands combing through her hair.
Lina realized we were both without clothes and blushed.
But I was beyound blushing over such things.
Sure. My body was able to blush.
I wasn't a full mazoku anymore.
Somehow I had started to grow used to these kinds of emotions.
Seeing Lina naked didn't make me feel embarassed anyway.
It made me feel alive.
Though I did know Lina was very uncomfortable with herself so I tryed not to draw too much attention to her body in times like these.
I was in a daze untill I felt her wrap her arms around my chest.
"Good morning Xelly." she said, into my chest
That, did make me blush. She had never called me "Xelly" before. It seemed more like a nickname couples would use, but that wasn't really Lina-chans style.
She always called me things like "Fruitcake" or "Xel" nothing that was really..so called cute.
It made me happy that she was trusting me enough to give me such cute nicknames.
"Xelly?" I asked, smiling down at her.
"SHUT UP!" she said, her face becoming even more red.
I laughed.
She was so adorable sometimes I couldn't help but laugh.
I decided to get up.
Lina sat up and stretched.
I went over to the closet and grabbed Lina's litte blue gown and some undergarmets for her.
I also got the choker I had given her as a present.
I walked over to the bed and sat them down.
"Here you are Princess Lina." I said, bowing before her.
"Thanks but..PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!" she yelled.
"Why? Am I making you uncomfortable?" I said dancing around her, then finally walking to the dresser and grabbing some clothes when she tried to hit me.
Once Lina and I were properly dressed we decided to go and talk with Lord Beastmaster.
She was sitting in a chair outside of the Inn looking out at the sea which surround the island, her orangeish-yellowish shoulder length hair blowing in the wind, her long legs crossed. I had always sort of thought of her as the perfect creature, and it's true she was beautiful.
Not Beautiful Like Lina.
A different sort of beautiful. Like...beautiful flowers..or a pretty piece or art work.
Not the the sort of beautiful that sent shivers down my spine and made me feel alive.
Thats what Lina did to me.
I looked at her again.
She was looking at my master with daggers in her eyes.
"Whats wrong Lina?" I whispered to her.
"I still don't trust her..I have a bad feeling." she whispered back to me.
"Don't Worry." I said taking her hand. "I've got you."
Then I walked up to my master with Lina at my side.
"Master.." I said. "There's something I should tell you."
She turned to me and smirked.
"Yes Pup?" she said.
"I'm going to marry Lina Inverse."
Her smile widened.
"And why are you telling me this?" asked Lord Beastmaster.
I was shocked.
"Your an adult now. You can make your own choices about these sorts of things. I'm glad you've told me, but you don't have to verify." she said. " I've decided to give you some freedom after all Xellos my dear...now that I've told you that..there's no need for me to remain here anymore. Congrats!" she said with a wave. With that, she disapeared, leaving only the chair.
"That was..." I started to say.
"Too easy." said Lina for me.
We stared at each other blankly for a moment, then she said:
"Now all we have left is my sister."
Luna hadn't really spoken much to us since Lina had "died" but we knew she was scared, broken, or maybe just hated me. All we knew was that this wasn't going to be easy. Luna was protective when she wanted to be.
"Maybe...we should just..uh..Xellos, I don't know if we should do this.." said Lina as we walked over to the room Luna was staying in.
"Lina she's your sister she can't control you." I said, trying to get her to change her mind.
But it didn't matter because when we got there, Luna and all of her belongings were gone.
