(What Will Be, Will Be)

Disclaimer: Don't own squat, except for the idea.
A/N: I know, I know. I have other fics to update, but this idea just wouldn't leave me for some odd reason. I plan on taking advantage of the inspiration if it lasts. Hopefully it doesn't follow the fate of my Gundam Wing fanfic. -_-;
Dedicated to: My Xellos-muse! He's the best pal a gal can possibly have! He also meets and exceeds my expectations of a muse!

PrologueHe felt her turbulence roll through him and felt strengthened by it.
"Xellos, please understand!"
Begging was she? Who'd have thought she'd be reduced to it.
"It was a one-night stand!"
One-night stand? No. What he felt couldn't possibly be related to those three words.
"It was nothing."
'Nothing' she said. No one played games with him. He played games with them.

The woman shivered as her companion's eyes opened and slitted pupils glared at her. She clutched her bundle tighter.
"Nothing?" he asked softly, dangerously.
"Nothing," she confirmed just as quietly.
"It didn't mean anything to you?"
"No."
"Then why?"
"Mazoku don't have hearts to break. You can't get emotionally attached."
"I see."
His wintry tone bit into her and for a moment she glimpsed why he was one of the most feared people on the planet. But the moment passed as he regained control of his expression.
"Here." She passed him her small bundle and turned around.
"Take the baby and leave."
TBC…

A/N: Weeeeellll? What did you think of the prologue? Was it mysterious? Do you know who the woman is? Any guesses? Please read and review! I only got 6 reviews last time. Makes me think people don't like my ideas…. *pouts*
