"Now this is the life!" Lina said leaning back sipping on her lemonade.

"I wonder when the sea demon is going to show." Amelia commented a little worried.

"Oh he will be here sooner or later.... speaking of demons..." Zelgadis looked over at Filia and Xellos. Filia was commenting on what abeautiful day it was while Xellos looked like he was about to hurl.

"Do you have to do that?" Xellos yelled at her.

"I was just commenting." Filia replied innocently. Xellos picked her up and tossed her in the water.

"Eek Xellos I'm going to kill you!" She smashed his head with her mace and dragged him to the water. She stepped out of the water and looked at her work. "This place needs to pick up their trash!" She said angrily. Xellos disappeared and reappered next to her and placed his armaround her shoulder.

"It looks fine to me." He said with his teasing grin. He took a handful of sand and placed it on top of her hair and smiled.

"My my do you look becoming." She screamed and picked up handfuls of sand, throwing it at him. She chased him around the whole beach, stopping only for more sand.

Meanwhile Martina and Zangulus walked over to Gourry and Lina "Would you like to join us over there near the water looks like they are about to have a couples three legged swimming event. You can sign up for it if you want.

"What about it Lina? Wanna try?" Gourry asked her.

"Sure! I'm game." Lina replied. "Amelia? You want to be my partner?" Zelgadis asked the girl sitting next to him.

"Sure, Zelgadis-san." Amelia answered standing up.

"How many times do I have to tell you you could call me just Zelgadis?" Zelgadis asked Amelia as they walked toward where the event was taking place.

"Well Gourry lets go." Lina said, grabbing Gourry's hand.

"Right!" Gourry answered.

"Well I guess we can go too." Zangulus looked down at Martina who nodded.

"Wait! where are you going?" Filia called out to Zelgadis and Amelia. They turned around and waited for Filia to catch up with them.

"We are going to join in the three legged couples swimming race." Amelia answered.

"Hey I wanna join too." Filia said. Xellos appeared next to her.

"Three legged couples race? Hmm . Well I guess I could do that." Filia glared at him.

"Well you better get your partner." Zelgadis said.

"Partner?" They both looked at each other.

"I don't want to pair with him! Filia whined at the same time Xelllos whined about not wanting to pair with her.

"Well there is nobody eles. I'm paired with Zelgadis and Lina and Martina are paired wit their husbands. Ta ta." With that Amelia and Zelgadis walked off.

"Well dragon. You pairing with me?" Xellos asked

"Fine.... There is nothing else to do, namagomi Filia replied.

A gun shot sounded in the air as the couples started the race. Their wasa lot of pushing and shoving as the couples tried to get first place. "Oi! Lina! Lets go under water!" Gourry suggested.

"Right!" They dived under neath and found it much easier andwere gaining the lead. Lina made a sheild around them so they could breath.They where almost at the end when a couple whizzed by them.

"Nani nani nani?!" Lina exclaimed. She and Gourry immediatlycaught up with them.

"Xellos? She asked

"And Filia?" Gourry said after her. They both smiled and said

"See you at the finish line!" They whizzed off with Lina andGourry on their heels with Zelgadis and Amelia following behind them. Underwater it seemed just like a slayers race with Zelgadis and Amelia, Martinaand Zangulus easily gaining on Gourry and Lina. They all surfaced the waterswimming for the end when all of a sudden a big black blob swam infrom of them.

"Eeek It's the sea demon!" They heard people scream. Gourry and Zangulus immediatley pulled out their swords (Don't ask where they came from) While Amelia, Zelgadis and Filia braced themselves to use thier magic.

"Hey I want to help too! I've learned a few light magic tricks." Martina boasted.

"Oh? I don't think I should be here." Xellos said about to disappear. Filia immediatley smacked him with her mace and told him he was going tohelp the rest of them.

"Hey Xellos...Filia.. don't you think you could try to speak to him?" Lina asked.

"Me?! Why me?! I'm not related to that trash faced Xellos. How would we be able to talk to him...?" Filia exclaimed.

"Well becuase this thing has to have some dragon in him and becuase he's a demon right?" Lina answered smartly. Filia hated the idea of being put together with Xellos but agreed.

"Why are you here?" The golden dragon asked the sea demon indragon language. The demon immediatley understood but didn't speak. Xellosgave it a try, speaking to the demon thru it's mind.

"What do you want with the people here?" He asked. Filia closed her eyes and tuned into what they were saying.

"I was sent by my master looking for a Lina Inverse." The demon answered them.

"I figured if I made enough mess I would be able to get to her." Xellos replayed this to Lina.

"What do you want with me?" Lina asked the demon. Filia toldthe demon what Lina said.

"We want to know if you will join us and destroy the world."The demon answered. Xellos opened his eyes wide and gasped on the inside.

'He was sent from Zelas' He thought.

"Hell no! How many times do I have to tell you bad guys I don't want to join you!" Lina shouted at the demon.

"Well then I'll have to kill you." The demon said. Lina immediatley began firing off orders "Amelia! You and Zelgadis fire off a RaTilt, and....." Lina was cut off by Xellos.

"Ah but Lina that wont work on a demon sent by the Mistress!Maybe something like this." He raised his staff and shot a powerfulspell at the demon causing it to die. Everyone congratuglated him except Filia, who waited till everyone walked off.

"But Xellos? Wasn't he sent from your Mistress? Why would you go against her" Filia gasped at him.

"That's a secret!" Was Xellos's reply, but Filia noticed something deep in side of him that no one else did.
