The next
morning, Zel called Xelloss.
"Hello?"
Xelloss' groggy voice answered.
"Hey Xel. What's
up? Too early for you?"
"No…" Xelloss
stifled a yawn. "Anything wrong?"
"Nah. Just
wanted to call and ask how things went with your mother…"
"Don't even
mention that bitch's name," Xelloss said harshly. "I don't want to hear about
her and I don't want to even think about her!"
Zel fell silent
for the next few minutes. "You can't hold that grudge against her forever you
know. She's your mother. She's the one that brought you to this world. If it
weren't for her, then you wouldn't be alive man. And without you, life is
boring!"
"Well screw her
okay! I don't want to think about her. I just wished she'd didn't try to
contact us yesterday. I don't want to deal with her at all."
Zel sighed
sadly. "You really are going to be stubborn about this aren't you?"
Xelloss
exploded. "Well at least your mom didn't abandoned you when you were young!!"
Zel bit his
tongue from saying anything rash. "Did she tell you any reasons on why she left
you and Xillia?"
"She just said
it complicated." He sneered out the last word.
Zel again fell
silent. This is so not like him at all. I never saw Xelloss like this. He's
always the jokester. The prankster of the two of us. Normally I was the stoic
one. Now it's like the other way around, but he's like ten times worse! "Why don't you try to find out the reason
though? It could be a totally different reasons than what you have thought…"
"That's the
point Zelgadiss! I don't want to know!!"
"I see…" Zel
decided to change subject. "By the way. Lina and I … well we are an item now…."
Xelloss perked
up at that. "You're kidding! You two finally got together? FINALLY!! Geez you
guys took forever!"
Zel blushed
bright red. "Shut up!"
Xelloss laughed,
starting to sound more like himself. "Whatever. I'll see you on campus man."
"Yeah. Meet you
at the purgatory university man. Two more years of being stuck there…"
"Yeah. Bye."
Zel hanged up.
He felt troubled about his best friend, but he just brushed it away. Aw man.
I'm sure he'll be forgiving soon. In the meantime, I better go wake up Lina and
that's not going to be an easy task. Then again, fixing her breakfast is a even
harder than that! I better get to work…
~*~*~*~
2 years
later…
Zel sighed with
happiness. The past two years was a like Pax Koreana for all of us.
Well Xelloss does run into his mom every once in a while, but he thankfully
just go the other direction. I do hope Xelloss give in sooner or later.
Lina…now every day I grow to love her more in many different kind of ways.
She's totally the yang side of me. Or was it the ying. Ah who cares? Whichever
one works. Seems like the only one that isn't happy is Valgaav. He always has
this rueful look whenever he stares at Filia. Seems like he has a thing for her
too, but unfortunately she loves Xelloss, so he can't do anything about it.
Zel smirked. Now
I know that my sister found her true happiness. She finally got married to the
man she loves just last year. The wedding ceremony was so…I guess you could say
romantic. Valgaav was Gourry's best man. Filia was Sylphiel's maid of honor,
while Lina was one of the bridesmaids. I had the honor of giving my sister
away…now Xelloss…he was the jokester I guess. The wedding was perfect, except
for the parts where Gourry fell asleep at the vows part, and the part where he
totally forgot the ring, so he had to leave for a minute to go get it from his
mother. Zelgadiss had a mega sweatdrop just thinking about it. So
typical of Gourry, but my sister has a lot of patience for him. How she gets
that patience, I don't know at all.
Xelloss,
Filia and I are all done with our university studies. We all graduated with
honors. Now that we have our degrees and everything, we are all probably going
to get different jobs. Well I am most likely still going to work for Beo, but I
think Xelloss wants something different, something from a bigger company. I
hope some good company hires him. Filia, I know wants to work someplace other
than the café now. Not to mention those two are thinking about marrying in a
couple of years or so. Lina and I will probably do that too. Zel smiled softly to himself. Maybe
all four of us could have a double wedding. That'd be awesome. Speaking of
awesome. I better hurry up and go to the park and meet up with Lina or, there
will be some awesome firework from her.
Zel quickly
changed out of the construction uniform and got into his regular street
clothes. He quickly made sure that he looked decent enough and left. He made a
haste goodbye to Beo and ran.
~*~*~*~
"What did you
want me to come here for Xelloss?" Filia asked.
Xelloss smiled
his infuriating smile that tells her that he had a secret. "Oh nothing really.
I just wanted to see you because I love you so much."
Filia blushed.
"Tell me! I know when you are lying."
"Ya (1) you know
I am not the lying type!"
"Yeah," she
snorted, "Whatever."
Xelloss
pretended to get hurt. "You don't believe me. I see how you feel about me now!"
She rolled her
eyes. "Enough stalling. What do you want?"
Xelloss stood up
and digged through his pockets. Soon he pulled out a box. "Here." He handed it
to her. "For our 5th anniversary together."
Filia drew in a
breath and accepted the box. Could it be? Filia stared at the
velvet-covered box for a minute. Then she opened it. Inside, she found a silver
locket on a silver chain. She felt slightly disappointed, but still happy
altogether. She gently lifted the jewelry out of the box and opened the locket.
There she saw a picture of her and Xelloss on each side. "Oh Xelloss…" She felt
her eyes water. "It's beautiful."
Xelloss smiled.
I'll get her the wedding ring later. When I saved up enough money. "May I have
the honor?" He held out his hands and Filia handed him the necklace. He
unhooked the delicate hook, and put it around Filia's neck. He stepped backward
and studied her for a minute. "Lovely. It fits you perfectly." With that he
lean over and kissed her with passion. Filia kissed him back with equal number
of passion.
"I love you
Xelloss, you namagomi." Filia whispered after parting away.
"I love you
too."
~*~*~*~
Zel ran to the
spot Lina was waiting. He reached her and apologized to her for being late.
Lina smiled and told him that it was okay.
"Have you been
waiting long?" Zel asked, still feeling guilty.
Lina shooked her
head. "Nah. I only got here myself like 5 minutes ago anyways."
"I see. So what
do you want to do?"
She smiled
evilly. "PICNIC!!" Lina pulled out a HUGE picnic basket and showed it to him.
Zel stared at it
and sweatdropped. "Geez everywhere you go you have to have food huh?"
"YEP!" Lina
shouted. "Let's eat!"
They arranged
the blanket and the food and sat down to eat. They were too busy eating to
notice that a red-haired man and a short man with navy blue hair was looking at
them not faraway.
"So dad? Shall
we interuppt them?" The small man asked.
The red-haired
man nodded. "Why not Phibrizo. That will be interesting…"
Both men got out
of their hiding place and walked up to them. Zel noticed them first. He nodded
to Lina. She turned around and saw them. "Who are you?"
"Lina. Lina, my
darling daughter. It is so good to see that you are alive."
Both Lina and
Zel stared at him with their mouth wide opened. "Excuse me?" Lina spluttered.
"DAUGHTER? I am not your daughter!"
"Biologically
speaking you are my daughter."
"This is
bullshit!!" Lina exclaimed.
"Yeah I agree. I
happened to know that she is the daughter Beo Bak." Zel added, jumping in.
"Sit back down
boy. Beo you said? Isn't he the head of his construction company?"
Lina and Zel
both nodded.
"Well well,
looks like we got some competition then now?" Phibrizo smirked. "Right father?"
"You are right
son. Oh by the way Lina. I am Gaav. Your father."
"This is crazy!!
Beo is and always been my father! You two are just crazy!"
"No we are
sane." Gaav smirked. "Lina I suggest you come with me now, before your
boyfriend here gets hurt."
"What do you
mean?" Lina asked with confusion written all over her face.
"I mean that I
am loaded Lina. I have enough money to get bunch of men to beat him to death
and still have money left over. Now you come now or your boyfriend's life is
going to be very short." Gaav smiled evilly.
Lina looked
trouble. I better go. I don't want anything to happen to Zelgadiss. "Okay. If
you say so, I will come." She said that stiffly and went to Gaav and Phibrizo.
She turned around and faced Zel. "I'll call you later. Don't worry about me."
"No! Don't go
Lina!" Zel cried desperately.
"I'll be fine."
Lina forced a smile and left with the two men.
Zel stared after
them. What is going on? What the fuck is going on!! Zel let out a cry of
anguish and it echoed all over the park.
(1) Korean for
sort of like "You"
Special AN: Okay. Phibrizo and Gaav may not sound right, but those two fits
into the role of Lina's biological family so well that I decided to use them.
Hope it's okay!
