Strange Reflections: 2
"So you know what's going on here then," Zelgadis asked Lina.
"Wait, I'm going to kill Amelia's shadow real quick," Lina snapped.
"Oh, come now, Lina-chan," the crispy shadow coughed. "Was it really so
bad? You did say you liked it."
"What is she talking about, Lina?" Gourry asked. Lina snarled and
restrained herself from doing anything that might drag on the conversation.
"You twisted little..."
"You know, if you're nice," the shadow licked her lips. "I might show
just how twisted I can get." Everybody but Gourry and the real Xellos
blushed.
"Where's the mirror Xellos?" Lina growled at the mazoku.
"What is this mirror you're talking about, Lina-san?" Filia asked. "I
demand that you tell me this instant!"
"Hey, is it this thing?" Lina, the Xellos's, and Amelia's turned to see
Gourry holding the shadow reflector. They all vacated the hallway.
"Gourry, put that down!" Lina shouted from somewhere.
"Really, Lina-san," Filia was saying. "You don't really think that he
can figure out how to..." there was a bright flash of light. "...activate a
magical artifact." Lina peeked around a corner and saw two Zelgadis's and
two Filia's.
"You were saying?" a Zelgadis grumbled.
"I'm sorry Zelgadis-san," a Filia bowed submissively before him. "I
should have known that he would accidently..."
"Have some back bone!" a thoroughly freaked out Filia snapped.
"Would you look at these dusty old clothes!" snapped one Zelgadis.
"What's wrong with those clothes?"
"Oh Filia-sama, please accept my humble apologies..."
"QUIT THAT!"
"I might as well not be here with clothes like this."
"And what would you rather be wearing."
"Something to accentuate my fine features and drive the women to their
knees at my presence." Xellos and Filia screamed.
"Now he's my kind of guy," the shadow Amelia declared, leaning against
Xellos.
"Yes, I imagine so," Xellos said snidely.
"Umm excuse me, Lina-san," a sheepish Filia asked as soon as she
determined that the other Filia was in too much a state of shock. "But what
do we do now?" Lina walked over to Gourry, shadow-Filia following behind
like a real shadow.
"Stop following me," Lina said. "Go stand over there or something."
"Okay, Lina-san," the shadow dragon bowed and stoof in roughly the spot
Lina had pointed.
"She does whatever you tell her too," Xellos noted.
"This has potential," shadow Amelia finished the thought.
"Don't even think about it," Amelia snapped.
"Jealous?" they both asked.
"Hmm, fine then," one Zelgadis said regarding the still out of it dragon
maid.
"What?" Filia asked blinking back to reality. "Zelgadis what are..." she
recovered her normal officious manner. "What do you think you are doing!"
"I will content you with a kiss from these almost godly lips of..."
Something grabbed his wire hair and pulled him back.
"Over my dead body," the other Zelgadis growled.
"Such an uncivilized manner of dealing with things," the other Zelgadis
laughed. "Perhaps we should settle this in a court of law."
"Give me the mirror Gourry," Lina commanded.
"Huh? Okay," he handed it over, and Lina dropped on the ground, letting
it smash to pieces.
"The one thing we don't need is a shadow Gourry." Lina grumbled.
Somebody dropped a hand on her shoulder and the already enraged Lina Inverse
snapped.
"DRAGU SLAVE!"
"I can't believe that you Dragu Slaved that village, Lina-san," Amelia,
the real Amelia, said.
"Hey, I found us another inn, didn't I?" she snapped. "Besides, this is
all yours and Xellos's fault."
"Yes, what ever did possess you to mess around with a magical relic?"
Zelgadis asked.
"I don't know, it just seemed like an interesting project," Amelia sighed.
"Yes, well, that brings to mind the room arrangements for this evening,"
Xellos coughed.
"Well, since there seems to be no point to hiding it," Lina growled,
glaring at the shadow Amelia. "Me and Gourry can share a room. The Filia's
can share a room, so can the Xellos's and Zelgadis's, and" Everybody looked
at the shadow Amelia.
"What? I don't care who you put me with," she said.
"That's the problem." Filia asserted
"I'll take her," Amelia sighed.
"Why, Amelia-chan," the shadow smiled.
"I didn't mean like that! you pervert!" The shadow Amelia shrugged.
The night proceeded at a rather hectic rate. Lina thankfully slept
through the whole ruckus next to Gourry. But the others were not so lucky.
"How can you just sit here and sleep when such a beautiful flower sleeps
in one of these nearby rooms?"
"Shut up before I kill you," Zelgadis's muffled voice called out from
under his pillow.
"I sincerely doubt that you have the capability to kill yourself in any
manner."
"Do you want this bed, Filia-san?"
"That's fine."
"Oh I'm sorry, did you want the other one?"
"Either one is fine."
"I can't decide, will you please pick for me Filia-san?"
"Quit cowering a corner over there," Xellos grumbled. "You're
embarrassing me."
"Please sir, I don't mean to be a bother, I have no idea why I'm here."
"Quit acting like a nurse maid and start acting like a mazoku!"
"But I don't wanna!"
"There now, see I can behave."
"Ahh, that does feel good."
"So why don't you just relax and think about purple hair, closed eyes and
a big smile."
Lina and Gourry came down to breakfast to see an interesting sight. The
shadow Filia was looking over a menu while Filia yelled, "JUST PICK
SOMETHING!" In response the shadow pointed to several different entrees.
"This is nice, but this looks good too. Which do you think I should try?"
"Why are you asking me? It's your decision."
"But, I just can't decide, you decide for me."
"He's...staring at me?"
"Fool! You're a poweful being! Stop acting like a baby!"
"Ah lovely Filia, who's golden hair inspires..."
"Zelgadis,"
"zzzz...hmm?...oh," Zelgadis smashed his double.
"Thank you."
"No pro...zzzzzz....."
"I hope you had a better night than I did Amelia-chan," Xellos mumbled.
"Oh, we did," the shadow Amelia said, looking like the cat that swallowed
the canary.
"I can't believe I did that," Amelia thought to herself, recalling last
night.
"Ame...what do I call you anyway, can't keep calling you my name, can we?"
"Just call me Tes, then, and your supposed to be relaxing so I can work
thse stress knots out of your back."
"Oh, right," she turned back on her face and sighed at her double's
gentle hands.
"Just relax, think about that dream from a week ago," her double paused a
moment in her movements. "You know, the one where you walk into the wrong
side of the baths and find HIM there."
"Oh yeah, he's there," Amelia sighed, almost hypnotised.
"And you start to leave, embarrassed," the voice was whispering softly in
her ear.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come in over here," Amelia muttered. Then
she remembered, he blocked her way, and leaned down to kiss her. That was
usually where she woke up and turned over to pleasure herself as the dream
couldn't.
It was odd though, she could already feel someone caressing her. Her
eyes snapped up, the other Amelia! She turned around on her back in order to
tell her to stop, and then found her lips meeting the others.
"This was the same," she thought to herself. "No different than doing it
myself, because it is me." So she sighed, and arched her back.
"Coming around then, princess," the other Amelia asked as she bent to
suckle at one of Amelia's nipples. The next thing Amelia knew, she was
waking up wrapped up with her double in her arms.
"Amelia, are you okay?"
"Oh yes, I'm fine, Lina-san," Amelia assured her quietly.
