I own nothing, except Meri! Please read and review!
Chapter 4
The next morning, Meri awoke later than usual. She stretched and yawned, then noticed that the Mazoku from yesterday was still sitting on the end of her bed, watching her. She scratched her head as she climbed out of bed and yawned again.
"What're you doing here? Are you really so bored as to watch a Mazoku Hunter at work?" She asked as she started to change into her hunting clothes, aka, her normal wear.
"Sore wa himitsu desu!" He said cheerfully to her. She stood straight up and whipped around.
"You're the Mazoku called Xellos!" She said, pointing a finger at him in a way that reminded him of Amelia.
"Umm.. How did you know that?" He asked, with a large swat drop.
"Sore wa himitsu desu." She glared at him, "I heard about you from another Mazoku, just before I killed him."
"Oh! Now I remember! You must be the girl that kills Mazoku for no reason. I think that they call you.." He paused, "Meri?"
"You're not as dumb as they say." She said, braiding her hair. She continued braiding her hair in silence. Xellos just watched her and wondered what he should do next.
"Was that a compliment?" Xellos asked, trying to figure out what was going on. For the first time in his life, he didn't know the whole situation.
As she finished her hair, she picked up her sword and grabbed a bag of gold. She tied them both to her belt and walked out of the room.
"You ignored me!" Xellos said, indignant and teleported after her. She had paid the innkeeper and started walking down the road. He fell into pace beside her, looking at her out of the corner of his partially opened eye.
"You're about as friendly as a certain Gold Dragon that I know." Xellos commented, thinking about Filia. Hmmm… What had happened to her anyhow? He had abandoned her for a while, which meant that she was probably happy. That wasn't a good thing. He just couldn't leave her happy! She had to be miserable!!!
While he was debating this, Meri walked through the city, not really paying much attention, even to the purple haired Mazoku beside her, until out of the corner of her eye, she saw just what she was looking for! An antique shop!
