Note: I'm sorry if there are any inconsistancies in spelling, but as you probably already know, there are about a million and one ways to spell the names of these things.
Chapter 4- Meg's Wrath
Meg woke up a little after dawn. Her whole body felt stiff. She got up and stretched.
"Good morning!" chirped Xelloss.
"Morning," replied Meg. She looked around. "Where's Zel?"
"Fishing," said Xelloss.
Meg sat down closer to the fire. Whoever said that dawn was the coldest time of day was right. She shivered slightly and wrapped her cape tightly around her.
"Cold?" asked Xelloss, still smiling.
Meg shrugged. "A little." She hoped Zel got back soon.
"So, tell me about yourself," chirped Xelloss.
"What's there to tell?" she asked, trying to avoid the question. She really hoped Zel got back soon. This mozoku was making her uncomfortable. Which was probably what he was trying to do.
Xelloss shrugged. "I must admit I am curious about what people in your world think of me," he said, changing the subject slightly.
Meg considered telling him about the many girls that had crushes on him, but decided against it. "I don't know," she said.
Xelloss opened his eyes. "Really?" he asked. Meg guessed he was getting tired of her avoiding his questions. Fortunately, Zel was back. He had three good sized fish on a stick. He set the stick in the ground so that the fish were above the fire. "I hope one is enough for you," he said to Meg.
"Of course! Those are big fish," said Meg.
"Lina would eat at least ten," commented Xelloss.
"I'm not Lina," said Meg evenly.
Xelloss merely smiled. Somehow, Meg wasn't surprised.
When the finished breakfast, Zelgadiss got up and began walking. Meg followed. Unfortunately, so did Xelloss. "It seems that we are all heading in the same direction," he commented.
Meg tried to hide her annoyance. She remembered that Xelloss did like the ice cream at Seirunne. That was probably his excuse, even though he was only following them to be his annoying self. Meg had a headache. She rubbed her temples to try and ease the pain.
"Headache?" asked Xelloss, in a tone that indicated he was trying to get on her nerves.
"I'm fine," replied Meg coolly. She refused to let that mozoku's tricks work on her. But she wasn't fine. Her headache was getting worse. But she refused to let the pain show. Even though Xelloss probably knew she was in pain. In the distance she saw the city of Seiruune. She guessed they should be there by evening. Zel had said that it would be a few days. Meg guessed that he had misjudged it. (Or it was a fanfic typo!)
"So-o, Meg," began Xelloss. Even if it wasn't David Moo's voice, Xelloss still had that annoying way of talking. It wasn't his voice itself that was annoying, just the way he talked. That, of course, was exactly his intention.
"Yes?" asked Meg, trying not to sound annoyed.
"I heard you got attacked by bandits," he said.
Ouch. Meg stopped walking. "How do you know that?" she said, trying not to loose her temper.
"I saw," relpied Xelloss with his usual smirk.
Ouch ouch ouch ouch... ouch. That was exactly what Meg was going to do to Xelloss. "YOU DAMN PERVERT!!! YOU CAN GO TO *bleep*ing HELL!!" she screamed running to attack him. Just before she punched his face he teleported out of the way. Meg stumbled and fell.
"The water turned pretty red. Of course, it was nothing compared to how red your face is now," said Xelloss.
Meg got up and ran to attack again. "WHY YOU BLANKETY BLANK BLANK!!!!" she shouted, outraged. Again, the blanks weren't blank.
Zel's eyes widened. He had never heard a girl curse like that before. Hell, he had never seen a man cuss like that, ever. He would tell her to stop, but he was too worried that if he did HE would become the victem of her wrath.
Xelloss was enjoying himself. This vaugly reminded him of the fueds he had had with Filia, way back when. Except Filia didn't cuss like that.
Zel sighed. He really should try to stop Meg, before she exausted herself. "Uh, Meg..." he began.
Meg turned and glared at him. He took a step back. Meg had to chuckle. "Scared? What could I possibly do to hurt you?" she asked, folding her arms across her chest. It amused her to see the chimera afraid.
Zel shrugged. "I've... never heard anyone swear like that," he said.
"I've heard worse," replied Meg coolly. She continued on the path to Seiruune, trying to forget about Xelloss.
To be Continued...
Okay, a little hentai there, but hey.
