"I can't sleep. He's right there.' Filia
thought. Lina, Zelgadis, Amelia, Gourry, and Lina each had their own separate
tent, and had already went off to bed.
'Good thing mazoku don't need to sleep. Otherwise
Filia would have caught me snoring.' Xellos thought.
'I wonder what he's thinking.' Filia thought.
'I wonder what she's thinking.' Xellos thought.'
Filia sighed and closed her eyes. 'I guess
I might as well get some sleep.' With her free hand she pulled the blankets
over her and turned to her side.
"Ano… Filia?" Xellos asked quietly.
"Huh?" Filia was surprised.
"My hand." Xellos answered.
"Gomen ne!" Filia quietly, laughed nervously
and lay flat on her back.
"Filia this is still uncomfortable." Xellos
whispered.
"Well what you to expect? Cloud nine comfort?"
Filia whispered back.
"Well that would work." Xellos said. He turned
to the side, facing Filia. He took her and pulled her to him.
"Ah. No more aches and pains." He sighed.
Filia grabbed his shirt and looked him straight
in the eye. "What in Ceiphied's name is going on?" She growled.
"Hmm?" He asked mildly.
"You planned this, didn't you?" She asked.
"Of course not." He said, raising her curiosity.
"You have a plan. And I wanna know about it."
She said. Xellos raised his eyebrows.
"Yare, yare. Your pretty smart for a gold
dragon." He taunted. She raised a fist and punched him in the face.
"OK, OK! I'll tell you." He said, rubbing
his nose. Filia smiled smugly.
"...And you see, if you can pretend to like
me, the spell might break." Xellos concluded a while later.
"Hmm. Good idea... but you don't have to hold
me so tight." Filia sniffed.
One Week Later...
"Why do I, A Ryuzoku, have to pair with him!"
Filia exclaimed.
"Right! She's so much lower then me!" Xellos
countered.
"Argh! Ze. Ro. Su!" Filia lifted up her skirt
and pulled out her mace.
"Aack! Filia that hurts!" Xellos screeched.
Lina and Amelia looked at each other and nodded.
"Lina-san? What are you doing?" Filia asked.
Lina had Xellos and Filia's feet, while Amelia hand their hands. They tossed
them into a closet and locked the door on the outside.
"Nani? Let me out! I don't want to paired
with this thing!" Filia whined. Lina sighed as she and Amelia walked back
over to the guys.
"Crazy females... Gotta learn to stay away
from them..." Xellos muttered.
"Life is wonderful..." Filia muttered. Xellos
fainted.
3 Days Later...
"Your face looks great, Zelgadis-san." Amelia
commented, for the 50th time.
"It does doesn't it?" Zelgadis boasted for
the 50th time, looking at his perfect human complexion.
"Another game of Go-fish?" Lina asked, in
a very bored voice.
"Sure, you go first." Gourry answered, just
as bored.
"Namagomi? Why Namagomi? Can't you think of
something else?!" The four slayers sweatdropped at the sound of Xellos'
voice coming from the closet.
"Eeeeyaaah! Stay away from me, filth!!" Filia
screeched.
"Why me?" Lina moaned.
Take
me back
