Mazoku's Domain

Chapter 1
It didn't take long to reach the area with the newest exhibits for it
was only a few halls down, but to Zelgadis, the halls were never ending.
"Why are we here?" Zelgadis was starting to get testy.
"To find you a new slave of course." Xelloss didn't bother to turn
around.
"But, why? Why are you so intent on me finding another slave?"
Zelgadis stopped.
"Now Zel-kun, do you really want me to say it again?" Xelloss looked at
Zelgadis with closed eyes.
"No, because I already know what you're going to say."
"Oh, and what's that?" Xelloss opened one eye.
"Sore wa himitsu desu." Zelgadis growled. Xelloss just smiled his same
annoying smile.
"Correct! Now come on." Xelloss grabbed Zel's arm and proceeded to
survey the selection as they walked down the halls. Zelgadis let out a sigh of
defeat and allowed Xelloss to drag him along, keeping his eyes on the ground
the whole way.
There was a quick spark of red at the corner of his eye, but it was the
muffled thud that caught his attention first. He turned his head to look at
the window to his left and saw something that he never suspected.
_________
Lina was tired, sore, and hungry. All of which caused her to be
extremely testy. One minute she was chasing Amelia through a thick forest,
the next she was thrown into a small white room with the girl and no doors.
It was hell. And to make matters worse, she was in a dress!
"Miss Lina?" Lina ground her teeth together as she looked up from her
sitting position against the wall.
"What is it, Amelia?" she had to force out the words.
"Why are we in this room, and who are these people?" Lina wanted to
scream. Gods, this girl was so naive when it came to the outside world, of
course what can you expect? She never left the 'wild' human's village.
"This is a Slave Center. The so called 'people' you mentioned are
Mazoku. And we are in here because you wanted to go pick some stupid
flowers!" She couldn't help but scream the last part.
"I'm sorry, Miss Lina." The girl's eyes began to water.
'Aww crap, I made her cry and now she won't stop until I either
apologize or hit her upside the head and I'm too tired to get up...' Lina
sighed, and tried to loosen the collar around her neck. It was a simple silver
band, something Lina would absolutely love if it didn't restrain her magic, but
no matter what she tried it would not come off.
"It's OK Amelia, I'm just frustrated." 'and hungry and tired and sore...'
she continued the list mentally.
Suddenly and figure appeared in the center of the room. Lina jumped
to her feet and glared at it. It wore a dark cloak, which was pulled over it's
face, and had bandaged hands. Lina heard one of the other mazoku call him
Seigram.
"It's show time, you two. Please some with me..." He held out a
bandaged arm to Lina.
"Fat chance. We're not going anywhere with you!" Lina pushed Amelia
behind her.
"But you don't have a choice." The monster teleported behind Lina,
pushing Amelia aside, and grabbed Lina by her wrist and pulled it behind her.
Lina let out a painful yelp as he lifted her off the ground by her arm and
shoved her into the hard marble wall, making a soft thud.
_________
Zel couldn't help but stare as the mazoku slave trader pulled the girl's
arm farther behind her back and pushed her into the wall yet again.
"Oh, that's no way to treat their merchandise. It may become broken."
Xelloss replied with a frown as he stood behind Zelgadis, startling him.
"Yes, you're right. We should stop him, ne?" Zelgadis tried to sound
calm and relaxed.
"Yes, I agree." Xelloss leaned over to the glass and lightly tapped on it
with his gloved hand.
__________
Seigram was applying more pressure to the slave's arm when he heard
a soft tapping sound from the other side of the window. He turned to look at
the window for only a moment before he teleported out of the room, allowing
Lina to fall painfully to the hard floor.
He reappeared on the other side of the one-way window only seconds
after Xelloss removed his hand.
"Can I help you?" Seigram replied smoothly.
"Yes, my friend here was thinking of buying that slave you were
tormenting and he would like you to stop damaging his future purchase."
Xelloss patted Zelgadis on the back as Seigram nodded.
"I understand, but you will have to bid for her, along with the other
girl."
"What do you mean?" Zelgadis replied.
"The two come in a pair. They were found together, and so we decided
to skip the troublesome task of splitting them up."
"How would it be a troublesome task? I mean they are only humans."
Xelloss peered at the red-head through the window as the brunet bent over
her.
"We just didn't want to take the chance. The red-head alone took out
four of our trappers when we tried to capture them, but with the collar she
is easier to handle." Seigram pointed to the silver collar around the girl's
neck. "We had to put a very strong collar on that one, unlike her friend. We
only had to use a simple leather band on her."
"I see." Xelloss rubbed his chin.
"Is that all?" Seigram asked.
"Hmm....Yes, that is all. Arigatou." Seigram gave a slight bow before he
disappeared from sight one again.
"Well Zel-kun! It looks like we found to two new slaves!" Xellos patted
Zelgadis on the back once again.
"What?!" Zelgadis gave him a shocked look, but is softened when his
gaze fell once again on the petite red-head within the room.

and I bet you have no idea what they are either! Mwahahahaha!! Well, I hope
