Chapter III
When he was near enough, Lina smacked him in the head.
"Hey! What was that for?" Xellos whined, rubbing his head, and looking at her plaintively.
"Oh! That was for touching my leg," she answered, unruffled by the look. "And don't you dare do that again!"
"Okay! But don't you tell me that you didn't enjoy it..."
"No!"
In that same moment, Amelia and Zelgadiss appeared holding the firewood.
"Hey, Lina!" Amelia shouted as she walked towards her friend "I don't want us to be fight any more...Let's just forget about all this."
"Forget about what?" Lina smiled and hugged her friend. She could see how the priest winked at her.
It was getting late and they prepared to eat.
They all sat around the fire and quickly finished the food. After the dinner, everybody went to sleep. Everybody but Xellos who had disappeared before and Amelia who was quite worried about him. She woke Lina up.
"Lina, Lina. Are you sleeping?" she whispered.
"No," she said yawning, "I was fighting the Power Rangers. What's now, Ame?"
"Nothing, it's just that Xel doesn't come back. I'm concerned about him"
"Don't worry, Ame. You know him," by that time, the red haired girl had sat up on the ground.
"Lina," said Amelia. "Can we speak in another place? I can't sleep."
"No!! Just try to count sheep. I want to go back to sleep"
"Lina..."
"Okay, okay. Let's sit by the river."
Zelgadiss opened one eye and then the other. The girls weren't there.
Why was Amelia worried about that Mazoku? And what did Lina had to do with that? He closed his eyes and tried to sleep again but he couldn't.
He was waiting for the morning. He'd get his cure soon.
"I think that Xellos doesn't love me," Amelia said sadly.
"Well, Ame...I don't know what to say, I told you my feelings about him.
Maybe he is not the right one for you"
Suddenly, Xellos appeared in front of them "Were you talking about me?"
The dark-haired girl ran to him and hugged him tightly.
"Where the hell were you? I was so concerned!"
"I can take care of myself, dear Amelia," he said and kissed her. Lina watched every movement he made and unexpectedly felt something strange.
She felt jealous. Confused, Lina turned away quickly, not wanting to watch the lovebirds. Xelloss saw her leave and grinned secretively.
"Hey, Lina! What happen to you? Are you ill?" Gourry asked stuffing his mouth with food.
"I don't know, Gourry, but I don't feel well."
"You look depressed, Lina" Zelgadiss pointed out bluntly.
"Yes" interrupted Xellos, appearing from nowhere "She looks more like you everyday, Zel-kun."
"Xellos!" said Lina and Amelia at the same time. Zelgadiss glared darkly at the Mazoku Priest for the remark.
Lina felt better with the priest around. But still, she was worried.
'What's happening with me? I don't want to be in love with Xellos, it would hurt me and Amelia,' Lina thought. But she was falling for the purple-eyed man. And that was affecting her too much.
The gang left the forest and got into a small town. They walked through it all day trying to get instructions that would lead them to the fabled Mount Tori. Xellos had brought information that said that the water that ran down the mountain had powerful curative powers that could help the chimera get his former human body back. Even though Zelgadiss didn't trust him at all, he thought that he didn't lose anything if he
tried.
"Well, I guess we'll have to spend one night here before haeading over to that mountain," Lina sighed wearily, her arms behind her head.
"C'mon, it's late. Let's find an inn."
Everybody agreed and entered the nearest inn.
After dinner, Lina felt calmed. The Mazoku priest hadn't bothered her for a long time. She liked how he acted around her and treated her differently but knew that if she allowed herself to get too close it would only end in Amelia's broken heart. And her own broken heart. She had to concentrate in something else. The sorceress was now in her room, taking her cloak off. Xellos appeared behind her and grabbed her by the waist. Lina froze in shock.
"I won't keep my secrets away from you," he whispered in her ear, lightly caressing the lobe with his warm breath. "Lina Inverse, I love you so much." The red-haired girl's heart stopped beating for a moment. And time stopped too. She turned around slowly, a wondering smile creeping across her face before she kissed him. Oh, how she needed that. She
kissed him passionately and hugged him tightly. Lina couldn't think what she was doing. Everything seemed to be just fine for her.
'I love you,' Xellos thought and smiled evilly to himself. 'All it takes is these three stupid words to be said and I have her wrapped around my finger. How can she possible think that Mazoku can love? This is
just too perfect; I'm having so much fun with these girls.'
The moment was broken when the door opened.
"Hey, Lina, I thought--!" Amelia began cheerfully then choked to a stop as her gaze fell on Lina and Xelloss. She stared, taking the scene in and still couldn't believe what she was seeing. Tears began to form in
her eyes.
"How could you?!" she cried and looked at Xellos desperately. "I thought you loved me!" then, in a fit of betrayed rage, turned to Lina and wailed, "I thought you as my friend!"
