Filia's POV – Introductions are in order

A.N. I'll try my best to stick to script.

I appeared before them, my hair waving in the wind and looking as majestic and brave as I could. This was my first time you know? I moved my hair out of my face and spoke up. "I'm your new client."

"You are...?" Ms. Lina spoke up, confused.

"Yes." I replied with a smile. "I am Filia. The one who sent you the letter." I turned to Mr. Zelgadis. "You must be Zelgadis Greywords." The turning to Gourry I said, "And you, Gourry Gabriev."

"You know us pretty well?" Mr. Zelgadis asked, suspiciously.

"Yes! I heard you are the ones who defeated Hellmaster Phibbrizo!" I answered.

Ms. Lina looked surprised. She regained her posture rather quickly. "Is that so? Well what is it do you want from us?"

I was getting a bit nervous as the wind blew; I moved my hair out of my face again.

"Well... I'll tell you after I see your power."

"Our power?" Mr. Zelgadis asked.

"What do you mean?" Ms. Lina asked also.

"Well you see..." I paused, noticing something wrong. Ms. Lina noticed also and screeched at Mr. Gourry.

"What are you doing?!" She exclaimed. It seemed Mr. Gourry noticed my tail. That didn't matter. I started to scream and I grabbed my mace from my leg. I slammed it into his head and he flew pretty far.

"What, What, What just happened?" Ms. Lina looked around. In my haste to leave I dropped my mace.

Filia's POV – What's that mazoku up to?!

Thankfully the ordeal with Mr. Gourry's interest with my tail is gone, but the real problem is... how could she! How could Ms. Lina travel with such a... a degrading mazoku! Xellos on top of that! It's the first time I've been introduced to him and I'm sure I don't ever want to meet him again!

That feeling... It was it was an annoying sickening feeling that washed over me. It was familiar to me, though I wasn't sure where I felt it before. It's as if it has been close to me before. When I found out where it came from, I was frightened. How could I be so annoying and relaxing at the same time? Who is this person, you wonder? Xellos... Beastmaster Xellos.

The general AND Priest underneath Beastmaster Zelas Metallium. One of the most powerful mazoku out there. He almost killed a clan of dragons during the war. I heard rumors that it was for someone that he killed so many... but they were only a rumor. Saichuro, the highest Elder, told me to stay away from him. But how could I help it when Ms. Lina was letting him travel with us.

He was driving me crazy... That smiling face. I felt like denting it with my beloved Mace. He's always dodging. Why won't he just hold still for one moment! Every time I reached to hit him, it would strike something familiar. I know I did this before... Please... tell me...

I was scrunched in my bed, holding my stomach from a nauseating feeling. Why was that Namagomi so familiar? I never met him in all five hundred years of my life. When he took my side against High Elder Saichuro, I knew something was familiar but I can't guess what.

Putting those thoughts aside, it seems our enemy is a ancient dragon. Forgetting the pun, but I thought they from ancient times... extinct. Xellos knows something about it. Maybe I'll get him to tell me.... but that would mean going near him. I pound my fist on my pillow. Oh I can't stand it!!

Xellos's POV – What's with that crazy Dragon?!

I frown my usually smiling lips, Zellas-sama obviously wondering what was wrong. I told her about Filia to which she choked on her wine. She covered herself by chuckling and teasing me of not being able to handle a Ryuuzoku. I scowl at her mocking me, which seems to maker her laugh more. Fine. Laugh. Next time I won't do what you say... Of course that's not true.

My thoughts drift back to Filia. It was the first time I've ever met such a golden dragon and I was attracted to her power. It was pretty great, though I could see that she had most of it sealed somewhere. I thought it would be interesting feeding off of her emotions till she called me Namagomi. Since when did a golden dragon give themselves the right to call me that? Mistress Zellas said not to kill any of them, but I feel like wringing Filia's neck.

Of course if I got the chance, she'd probably reach out and wring mine at the same time. What is it with that girl that attracts me to her? A few days ago Valgarv attack me. She helped me. The feel of her body against mine... I know that feeling. I wanted to grab her then in there and put my claim on her. Of course I didn't. For one I didn't have the strength and two... she smelled like a flowery, happy-go lucky, I-want-a-committed-man type of female. Not my cup of tea.

Though I do want to know where this feeling is coming from. How come I have a feeling that Mistress Zellas would say 'That is a secret?'

A.N. Thought I'd post this... it's a pretty good place to end this chapter, but it still doesn't give light to my story. Since I really hate going through the whole Slayers TRY and getting down things word for word (yes I'm lazy :p) I'm going to set this after TRY... you'll see in the next chapter which I WILL work on! IF not let me fear the judgment of my beloved Golden Mace of Justice! Till next time folks!
