6 months
later…
Xelloss scowled
as he was walking home. Goddamn that mother of mine!! I wished she would
just quit trying to get into Xillia's and my life! She doesn't belong with
neither of us!! For the past months, Xillia and that bitch has been spending
way too much time together. I'm afraid that she will get influenced by HER and
that's not good for my baby sis.
He sighed and
kicked a can out of his way. Also Zel seems really distant nowadays. Is it
just because I started to work with Gaav? Geez…I know he's pissed at Gaav, but
does that mean he has to be pissed at me? I know he doesn't act it, but he sure
seems so indirectly. Not to mention he's probably too busy working for Beo and
trying to find time to meet with Lina and all.
Xelloss pushed
his troubled thoughts out of his mind and put on his trademark smile as he reached
the Gabrieves' resident. He rang the doorbell and soon saw a smiling Filia. He
grabbed her tightly and kissed her.
"How was your
day?" Filia purred into his ear.
"Fine fine.
Things are going well. I'll probably be promoted to one of the top workers
soon."
Filia wrinkled
her eyebrow. "Weren't you supposed to be promoted yet?"
"Oh don't worry
about it. My position isn't that bad right now. Gaav was going to promote me,
but there were some problems. They are resolved now, so I'll soon be promoted!"
Xelloss gave her a reassuring smile.
Filia smiled
uncertainly. "Whatever Xelloss. I trust you." She smiled widely and grabbed his
arm. "Aren't you hungry? Mom cooked up a feast."
"What's the
occasion?" Xelloss tried to think if today was a special day he forgot.
"Oh it's just
because Valgaav got a new job! We're all happy for him!" Filia smiled softly.
"That's good. Now he can get rid of his gangster ways."
"…" Xelloss
stared off into the horizon (what horizon?? There are no damn horizons in
Seoul!! ;;). "I thought your parents didn't care much for him…"
"Huh…?" Filia
stared at his sudden change of attitude. "Yeah they never cared for him much
because of the path he chose, but now they are starting to be proud of him, for
he's choosing the right path for a change. Beside he's been Gourry's best
friend for the longest time, so they still love him, but just don't show it
often."
"…I see…"
"Well…" She
trailed off. "Let's go. Everyone's waiting." They went in. Geez. He doesn't
sound happy. What's up with him? Is he jealous or something? Maybe it's that time of the month for men or
something, the male PMS. I just hope it doesn't rub off of me…
~*~*~*~
"Cheers for Val
finding a new job!!" Mr. Gabrieve raised his glass high up in the air, and
everyone followed enthusiastically, but Xelloss. Fortunately no one noticed how
half-hearted he was.
"Yeah! Go Val!!"
Gourry gave him a slap on the back. "However there is just one thing…" He
trailed off.
Everyone stared
at him warily. "What?" Val asked after a pause.
"Where you gonna
work again??"
Valgaav
facefaulted, while everyone else sweatdropped. Val regained his composer and
breathe out exasperatedly. "Gourry!! I already told you where I worked like
about million times so far!!"
"Well I forgot!
Can't blame me for remembering everything here!" Gourry grinned, while Val just
shook his head in frustration.
"Well Val,"
Sylphiel softly interrupted, "Where do you work? You only told Gourry the
location."
Val took a drink
before answering. "Lano Inc."
After hearing
that, Xelloss got up from the table. "I'm sorry, but I remembered stuff to do,
please forgive me." He quickly got his jacket and went outside.
Everyone stared
after him. Filia got up quickly and shot Val an apologetic look. She ran
outside and saw him leaning against the gate. She went up to him and grabbed
his hand and dragged him outside to the alleyway.
"What the hell
is your problem? I've never seen you this insensitive!!" Filia shouted at him.
Xelloss didn't
flinch or whatever. "That's the company Zelas' new husband owns."
"That don't mean
you have to be insensitive! God quit being so pigheaded and selfish!!"
"…" Xelloss
turned around and started to walk off.
"Where you
going??" Filia cried.
Before Xelloss
could answer, Sylphiel came out with a strange expression on her face. That
look worried Filia and Xelloss stopped walking and turned around to face her.
"Xelloss.."
Sylphiel started, "Your mother just called…and I'm afraid you need to hurry to
the hospital."
"Why? What
happened??"
"Your mom and
your sister got in a car accident..." Before she could finish, Xelloss ran off
with Filia closed behind him.
Sylphiel sighed.
"This is not going to be good…"
~*~*~*~
1 hour later
after going through traffic…
Xelloss rushed
down the long hallways of the hospital. Filia followed him and was trying hard
to keep up with him. Damn it! If my sister dies, that bitch is not going to
be forgiven period!
He reached the
front desk and gave the clerk his sister's name. The clerk told him the room
number. No sooner the number left the clerk's mouth, he was off and running
again. After many minutes of wait on the slowest elevator in the world, he soon
got to the floor and came to the door. He calmed his nerves down a bit and
knocked on it. He heard a faint 'come in' so he started to open the door. Filia
gently put a hand on his shoulder as if to reassure him.
He opened the
door and was shocked to see that his mom was pretty banged up and was even more
shocked to see that his sister's condition was apparently worse for she was
bedridden. His mom had cuts and bruises everywhere and had a broken arm. His
sister was worse. She had more cuts and bruises and Xelloss could tell that
something was dreadfully wrong.
He went to his
mother and roughly grabbed her arm that wasn't injured. "What happened here? I
knew I shouldn't have trusted you with Xillia!"
"We were coming
home from department store. There was a driver that had trouble controlling his
car. Unfortunately it banged into my car and this is how the accident happened."
Zelas said softly. It hurt her to see how hostile her son is being.
Xelloss was
about to say something harsh, when four people coming in the room interrupted
him. One person was the doctor and three others were people he never seen
before. One of them went to Zelas and hugged her tightly. "Oh darling. When I
heard this I thought I was going to lose you forever!"
The two
remaining, whom were teenagers nodded. "You okay mom?" The older one asked.
It hit Xelloss
then. That's…that's Lano! That's my mom's new husband! That's that guy she
left us for! He's that guy that Valgaav is going to work for now! No!! I don't
want to see him! And now mom has two more kids? Xelloss' eyes narrowed. So
I see how it is. She abandoned two kids of hers and get two more kids! What the
fuck is wrong with her!!
The doctor
cleared his throat. "Xillia condition is pretty serious. She suffered many
minor injuries, but however…I'm afraid she's paralyzed from the waist and
below."
"You mean…?
She's not going to be able to walk anymore??" Zelas felt really guilty. And
now Xelloss is going to hate me more…
Xelloss stood
dumbstruck. My sister? She lost all her ability to walk now? No… it can't
be! No way in hell! This can't be happening!!
"Lano? Zelas?
Your daughter condition isn't that bad though. She didn't get fully paralyzed…"
"She's not that
woman's daughter!!" Xelloss cried out in fury.
"Hold on there.
I know you are probably Zelas' son, but that's no way to speak to your elder!"
Lano interjected.
"Elder my
fucking ass! She deserves no respect and the same goes for you!" Xelloss spat
out the last few words and ran out the hospital room and soon was out of sight.
His outburst even shocked Filia for she didn't chase after him.
"Ohmigod. I'm so
sorry. I don't know what just overcame him. Please forgive his rudeness. This
whole news is shocking to him…" Filia hurriedly apologized for his sake.
Zelas sighed.
"It's okay dear. You're his fiancé right? I do congratulate you."
"I'm so sorry.
I'll come back later when things are settled down…" Filia got out of the room
as fast as she could. She closed the door behind her and breathes out. My
god! This is just messed up! I've never seen Xelloss this cruel and hostile
before! This is like the side I never seen him as before…this is really scaring
me. This is not good…not good…
~*~*~*~
Xelloss ran out
all the way to Gaav's company and nearly collapsed from the energy he used up.
He looked up and jumped back in surprise because Gaav and Phibrizo was right in
front of him.
"Is something
the matter Xelloss?" Gaav asked.
"…" Xelloss
didn't say anything.
"Well you never
did get to help me get Lano out of business right? Because of some problems
before, you never did get promoted to be my top worker right? Well now you got
your chance! Are you still up to it?"
Hm…I so want
to pay that woman back now for ruining Xillia's life and mine now! That bitch
deserves poverty and so much more! I hate her…and I hate everyone that revolves
around her now! And that includes Lano and those two dogs she has now!
"Yes. I am still up to it Boss…" Xelloss smiled evilly and cracked his knuckles. "I'll do anything you say boss."
