"We must be getting close to Dynast. It's getting cold." Filia said, shivering. Xellos looked over at her and offered her his cape.

"Thanks Xellos." She whispered to him. She wrapped the cape around her. Xellos scent was all in the cape. She breathed it in but not noticably.

"I'm not cold." Martina annouced.

"Neither am I... Are you guys?" Amelia asked the rest. Everyone shook their heads.

"Seems like your the only one, Filia." Zelgadis said.

"Hmm I wonder why." Filia put her finger to her cheek thoughtfully.

"Lina... where are we?" She asked. Lina opened their map, sat down and spread it out. She ran her finger over the map.

"We... are... right.... her." She pointed a blue dot on the map.

We are near Makiko." She closed the map.

"Hmm I've heard that before... Makiko.... Makiko. Oh yeah that temple my mother told me about when I was younger!" Filia exclaimed smacking the palm of her hand with her fist.

"Nani?" Lina asked.

There is a temple in Makiko that wards of dragons. You could fall dead with a evil sickness. They say the dragons came and tried to destroy the city and the temple destroyed most of the dragons. Mother told me that what really happened was the dragons needed a place to stay and the people were scared and prayed the temple up and destroyed the dragons. The temple was based on white magic but became evil." Filia told the others.

That must be that temple of Storm.... Arashi." Zelgadis commented.

"Yes that's it." Filia nodded.

"I know what your talking about. It was named after a girl, Makiko Chojii. She fell in love with a dragon. But her parents forbidded it. They built a temple that would be activated if the town prayed for it. It was to keep dragons away. Makiko ran off to be with her dragon friend but before going, Makiko put her own spell on the town. If a dragon would stop by, he or she would be sparred if he or she held the hand of a loved one of the opposite sex. Kind of wierd." Zelgadis ended his story.

"Wow. M-m-maybe we shouldn't go in the city." Martina said nervously.

"Nonsense.... if Filia just holds one of our hands then she'll be fine?" Xellos said.

"True true.... Well what will it be Filia? A.) Gourry. B.) Zangulus C.) Zelgadis or D.) Xellos." Lina lined the boys up and was showing them off like a show host.

"Er... ah..." Filia started.

"Well you can't have Gourry... or Zangulus.... And Xellos is fine and Zelgadis is fine..... Oh wait, Zelgadis needs both his hands to perform magic so Xellos it is. Hurray! We have a winner!" Lina exclaimed. Amelia, Martina and Lina all went chibi and threw flowers on Xellos and Filia. Filia and Xellos sweatdropped.

"Er ah Lina." Xellos started.

"Nani? YOUR NOT SATISFIED WITH MY SELECTION?!!!" Lina's body went back to the right size but her head went super big as she yelled at Xellos. Xellos waved his hands in front of his face.

"No no no.! It's fine I love it see?" He grabbed Filia's hand and and raised it. Lina went back to normal. "Good." She said. Filia and Xellos stuck their tounges out behind Lina's back.

"Well lets go!" Lina shouted.

"Food!" Zangulus yelled.

"And Sleep!" Zelgadis said. They all ran off with Filia and Xellos dragging along.

"Hai we love it." They said unethusiastically.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Four rooms please." Martina told the attendant at the desk. She handed the attendent the money and he handed her the keys. Which she in turn handed one to Gourry, Xellos and Zelgadis.

"Have a good night sleep everyone." She and Zangulus waved befor entering their room.

"Night night." Gourry said. Lina just yawned and walked in their room.

"Well we'll see you in the morning." Xellos said.

"Ja." Filia said after him following him in their room. Zelgadis looked at Amelia. Amelia looked at Zelgadis. They both looked in the room and noticed one bed.

"Why does Lina-san do this?" Amelia muttered to herself. Zelgadis opened the door grouchly. They went their seperate ways, Zelgadis to the bathroom and Amelia still in the room. Amelia quickly got ready for bed and slid under the covers. Zelgadis soon followed and shut off the light. As soon as he got in the bed Amelia scooted over so she wouldn't be close to him.

"Amelia." Zelgadis said in the dark. Amelia stiffened.

"Y-y-yesss Zelgadiss....-san?" She stuttered. He was annoyed that she was stuttering.

'She usually isn't like that. Maybe it's becuase we were around other people.' He said to himself. Then said aloud.

"Do you hate me... Amelia.?" He asked. Amelia looked at the ceiling, then turned on her side and faced Zelgadis.

"No. I don't hate you." She said shortly. Zelgadis let out a sigh.

"Then how come your treating me like this? You ignore me when I try to talk to you. Everytime I try to talk to you, you snub me You act like some stuck up princess!" Zelgadis burst out. Amelia was shocked.

"Now you know how I feel." She said with a short laugh. This time Zelgadis was shocked. He flipped over and faced a angry/fear faced Amelia.

"What's that suposed to mean?" He asked narrowing his eyes.

"Rememeber are last battle? With the Dark Star? You ignored me then. The battle with Hellmaster Phibrizzo, The battle with Copii Rezo... your ignored me then. You didn't ignore me as much with the first two battles. The only time you paid attention was when I was in danger. I was 'Amelia, the superhero freaked out little girl'." She said narrowing her eyes too. Zelgadis didn't have anything to say.

"Well you bugged me." He said after a while. Amelia seethed then raised her hand and slapped the side of his face.... hard.

"What was that for?!" Zelgadis asked her angrily grabbing her wrist.

"That was for you... you jerk." Amelia said squirming to get her hands back.

"All you care about is yourself. About how Rezo turned you into a chimera. And then I get a cure for you you say thankyou but even while you were in Seyruun you didn't talk to me!" Amelia said on the verge of shouting.

"Why should I talk to you? I told I don't want your friendship before, but that doesn't mean you have to go all bitchy on me." Zelgadis said.

"Get your hands off me." Amelia gritted her teeth and waited. He let go of her hands and they both turned over in the bed not facing the other.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Meanwhile...... "Goodness I'm tired!" Filia said rasing her's and Xellos's hand above her head.

"Me too." Xellos exclaimed. "Well you go ahead and head to the bathroom. I'll get dressed out here." Filia said about to let go off Xellos's hand. She tried but it wouldn't work.

"Oh yeah I forgot." Lina made them take off their gloves and she put super glue on their hands

"So Filia will be safe." Lina had said.

"Oh damn. Well Xellos don't look." Filia said.

"It wouldn't make a difference. It's not like you have anything I haven't seen on you." Filia blushed. She unzipped the side of her sleeve. and slipped out of her dress. Xellos looked at her from the corner of his eyes.

'She is even more beautiful.' He thought to himself. He slipped off his pants and put on some shorts and took off his shirt.

"Done." They both said at the same time. They looked over at each other. Filia was in a semi-long shirt that reached her knees.

"Are you wearing that to bed?" Xellos asked swallowing visibly.

"Yes is something wrong with it?" Filia asked frowning.

"No no it's fine." They walked over to the bed and climbed under the covers.

"Er... Xellos?" Filia asked a moment later.

"Hmmm?" Xellos asked semi-sleep. "Your hogging the blankets."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Lina yawned and buried her face in the blond haired guy in front of her. The sun poured into the room where they slept.

"Uh...hmmmm." Gourry said still sleep.

"Gourry.... Gourry... time to get up." Lina called softly. She leaned over and placed a kiss on his lips. then got out of the bed.

"I'm up." Gourry said sitting up.

"Good then you can help me scrub my back." Lina said.

"Only if you will help me with mine." Gourry said getting out of the bed. He walked over to the small redheaded girl.

"Of course." she giggled and kissed him again.
