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."
