She had made sure no one, especially Xellos was nearby, she had left them
all behind with the threat to Dragon Slave them if they followed, and she
had made sure they had seen how serious she had been.
She cursed herself extensively for being so stupid.
She hated what had happened to her, she cursed the fact, the very spark of its existence, the mere fact that it throbbed within her heart, cursed the wisp of its existence within her soul.
She further cursed the fact that it had been six months since she had first noticed her feelings and had tried with her entire being to change her feelings, six months of trying to find a different guy to obsess over but nooooo, her heart had to more stubborn then the rest of her, she had to be cursed to fall in love with HIM!
Not Gourry, almost any girl would be proud to say he's MY boyfriend/fiancé/husband, well beyond the intelligence factor or lack of it. She had grown to love the jellyfish, just not the same way as she had hoped so desperately.
Not Zelgadis who looked quite good, especially with his unique makeup, his cool, levelheaded personality, who should have been a perfect compliment to her temper and silver quick nature, no she couldn't go beyond a mild crush for Zelgadis before HE had shown up.
It had to be HIM.
A Mazoku, she had known him for what he was from the start. One of the beings called monsters and they embraced the title, one of the Evil Race, slaughterer of thousands, someone who would kill her in an instant if his master ordered him to or if he felt like it. Someone no one should fall in love with at all.
She KNEW this, had seen his darker nature, heard of his dark and bloody past, knew what had happened to other's who had fallen in love with his kind, they had ended up heartbroken while their former lover's laughed at them or they killed them when they got tired of the game they played with the human's hearts.
Yet despite all the facts, all the reasons she should treat him like he carried the plague, she couldn't.
Every time he appeared she felt her skin fight to become flushed, every time he touched her, for whatever reason, her heart sang with joy. Every time he kissed her she had to struggle with herself to not to kiss him back instead of pummeling him.
She cursed herself for these facts and one other.
She couldn't hide it any longer.
Instead of fading her damnable love for him had grown stronger and stronger with every passing day, it had been harder and harder to summon the mask of temper mental friendliness she carried when he was around.
Even her emotional shields, which she had created the third time she had encountered a Mazoku to hide her feelings so the enemy would have less warning when she planned to attack, wouldn't help for long anymore.
For these reasons she cursed and cursed over and over again as loud as she could.
