A/N: Well, here's the 2nd chapter, I find it short...Just read ok^_^

D/C: Slayers not mine nor is the song "Material girl" That is Madonna's song. I just had it stuck in my head and decided if I had to sing it all day so did Lilith....^_^'

It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining brightly, the birds sang happily and.....Lilith rolled out of bed with her hair a mess and her eyes looked dull and sleepy. She certainly wasn't a morning person, even if it was already noon.

"Stupid mornings..." Lilith murmured as she picked up some clothes and a towel. She waked to the baths for a nice, warm bath before she had go collect the items she forgot about while she had come across Xellos. He had mad her all flustered about him being a mazoku. It wasn't that she thought Xellos was really evil, he didn't seem that way...Other children from her hometown always said they were, even the other parents worried about mazokus but not Lilith's parents, she never wondered why either. She knew her parents were both powerful people but the idea that someone was truly evil was something she never really considered.

" Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me....I think they're ok...If they don't give me proper credit I just walk away..." Lilith sang while she walked to the baths. " They can beg and they can plead but they can't see the light, cause the boy with the cold hard cash is always mister 'right'..."

When she entered the bath, she smiled to herself. She had been so tense but now, all her worries went away.....Not that she had many to start with. Lilith was quite the genteel girl in certain ways but in others she was very much like Lina and Gourry.

"Cause we are living in a material world, and I am a material girl....You know that we are living in a material world and I am a material girl....."She sang on.

After a quick bath she dried off and changed into a purple tank-top and forest green pants. She put on her pure silver shoulder armor with the pretty pink gems and her deep blue cloak. She brushed her hair and then walked downstairs of the inn.

"Well, good morning Lilith...." Someone greeted her. She spun around and was face to face with Xellos. He was a bit taller then her so she looked up into his eyes that were open and had an eerie. She backed away, frightened of the man...well mazoku. Xellos frowned. "Nice to see you too..."

"MAZOKU! GET OUT!" Lilith screamed almost in a Filia-fashion.

"Well, we certainly know you're Lina's daughter, you yell like her at least." Xellos winced as he tried to regain hearing in his left ear.

" Oh shut up. What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you I wouldn't bring you to see my mother?"

"Yes." Xellos said simply and sat down in a chair by a table. Lilith took a seat in front of him.

"Why are you still here then?"

"Sore wa himitsu desu!" Xellos joked with her. Lilith smiled, well it was more a sarcastic smile then anything.

"Well....Mister... Metallium, was it?" Lilith questioned and Xellos nodded in return. "I suggest you just go back to wherever you may have come from before I kill you."

"You?! Kill me!?" Xellos laughed at this. Lilith didn't get it so Xellos just laughed more at her.

"ANYWAY!..." She pouted. "You're a demon, I'm not bringing you home to kill my parents or something, I'm not stupid."

"With a father like Gourry..."Xellos murmured to himself.

" So Mister Metallium, I bid you good day." Lilith got up and began to walk to the door.

" Don't call me 'Mister Metallium'...Xellos is just fine."

Lilith sniffed and walked on.

"Well, she's rude." Xellos frowned. He followed her of course. It was much more fun to trail right behind her and to watch her try to escape him then to hide in the shadows to camouflage himself from her.

"I told you to leave, Xellos!" She huffed.

"I know."

"Then leave!"

"No, I want to see your mother again, Lily-chan." Xellos said simply as he walked next to her. Lilith stopped suddenly and glared at Xellos.

"My name is not 'Lily-chan', my mother calls me that! I stopped calling you Mister Metallium so don't call me names in return!"

It was Xellos's turn to sniff and walk away from Lilith.

"OI! You listen to me when I talk! You don't just walk away from me! I should Fireball your ass for that!"Xellos kept walking, Lilith grinded her teeth together as she stomped her feet heavily and sulked like a child. She grabbed Xellos's shoulder to slow him down.

" Oh Lilith, change of mood?" Xellos teased. "Very Lina-like..."

"You're not winning points. If you ever want a CHANCE of me to show you the way to my home, you'd be more gallant to me."

"Very well, if I help you find the last ingredients for your mother....You will bring me with you."

"Like hell you'd know where any of this stuff is in town...." Lilith smirked.

"Oh? Is that a bet?"

"Maybe...."

"Well if it is, what shall we bet with?"

" If you find me all the things on my list I'll.....not kill you for the time being!" Lilith felt certain that Xellos couldn't do it. she didn't even know the power Xellos had or did she ever bother to ask him. Xellos sighed mentally, how naive and exploitable was this girl!?





"Very well, and if I do bring all you're ingredients back, I'm free to murder you when I wish." Xellos laughed so hard at the scared look on Lilith's face when he had said that. "No, no....If I do my duty for you...You'll own me a favor."

"What kind of favor, mazoku?"



"A small one." Lilith thought it over and decided that even if he did his job, a small favor wasn't much. What could he possibly want with her with a small favor? Xellos shook hands with her and then disappeared. Lilith decided to go window shopping. She didn't have extra money to buy anything she would have wanted but it was always nice to dream.



An hour later, Xellos reappeared in a shop next to Lilith with everything ingredient she needed. Needless to say, Lilith was very angry about him finding everything and above that...

He paid for it all and when Lilith tried to pay him back, he refused with a smile and suggested she used her extra money to buy something she wanted. She picked out a magic opal pendant that would let her cast higher level spells without draining her power as much. She thought it would come in handy since she wasn't strong enough to cast the Dragon Slave and keep casting lower level spells.

Another thing Xellos thought amusing, Lilith thought so highly of herself. Little pitiful child, such high opinions....So much like Lina in many ways...

~*~*~*~

Every time I tried to describe Lilith she reminded me so much of how Filia would act towards Xellos. I think Lilith is naive because she thinks that because her mother is the great Lina Inverse, that she's just as powerful and she deserves the same respect. It's not that she thinks herself higher then Xellos...she's just immensely childish for certain situations. It's more of a growing up thing. Anyway, R/R for me people!
