Disclaimers: Same as always. I don't own any of the Slayers characters or the show, however I do own Lane, Lina's reincarnation, her characteristics and personality came from MY imagination and no one else's.
Author's Notes: I have free time and energy, so I'm writing like mad. That's what happens when you drink too much coffee and eat too many sweets without walking around a lot.
Without further adieu, here's Chapter 4 of The Chosen One.
Chapter 4- Going Out
~About 3 months later…~
"Xelloss, I'm back from work." Lane called out, opening the door.
"Well, hello. You're back early." Xelloss called out from the recliner in the living room.
Lane glanced at her watch, and saw that it was only 3:30 pm. "Yeah, the boss let me off early for today. And he gave me the weekend off! Can you believe it?! So I was wondering if you wanted to do something."
"Actually, why don't we go out for a walk in the park and out for drinks. And then maybe we can go out to dinner at this restaurant of yours?"
"Sounds great. Let me make reservations at the local bar, and then another at the restaurant."
"Oh, and Lane? I was thinking that if you'd like to, we could go camping this weekend."
"Huh, well, let me check my schedule first. If it's a free weekend then I don't see why not."
Xelloss was happy about this new development. He had been trying for months to get Lane to go camping, but she had always had something she had to do during the weekends.
"Xelloss. Hey, earth to Xel." Xelloss jumped at the hand being waved in front of his face. He looked up at Lane is surprise. She pointed to her palm pilot. "My schedule says I'm free this weekend, so we can go. Did you have any place in mind? Oh, and while you're thinking, I'll call for the reservations.
Xelloss acknowledged, and looked to Lane, a truly wicked smile spreading across his face.
"Hello, is Amy there. Oh hi, yeah, this is Lane. Yeah, I'd like to make a cocktail date there for about 6. Thanks, bye." Hanging up the phone, she picked it up again, and called her restaurant, Fire & Spice. "Hello, is Gary there? Oh hi, Sylvie, this is Lane, is Gary there? Well, could you make a reservation for two please at about 6:45? Thanks, and tell Gary please. Bye." Lane hung up the phone and turned around to tell Xel about her success, only to find him staring coldly at her, a fire in his eyes. "Uh, Xel? Are you okay?"
Lane found herself pushed against the wall, Xelloss preventing any movement with his hands. "Who is he?" Xelloss hissed.
"Wh- what are you talking about?" Lane asked, fear making her voice shrill.
"Stop playing games, you know perfectly well what I mean. Who is this Gary? Is he a boyfriend of yours?" Xelloss narrowed his eyes at her.
"Look Xel. I don't know what you're getting worked up about. Gary is the owner of the grill. So chill out." Lane said, her voice trembling at the dangerous look in his eyes.
Suddenly, Xelloss pushed away, and with a smile said, "Oh, okay then. Well, shall we go?"
Lane looked at him strangely. What on earth had possessed him to do that? "Uh, Xel. The reservation isn't until 6 pm, and it's only 4 now. So, I'm going to go change- uh, you should too." Lane looked at Xelloss one last time, and ran full out to her room, slamming the door shut.
Inside her room, she slid down the door. Getting up, she made her way to her closet. Pulling a red and black mandarin style dress out, she walked back to her bed, laid the dress out, and made her way to her bathroom. Stripping, she stepped into the shower.
Xelloss paced outside her door. What had possessed him to do that? He knew that Lane, although she was Lina-chan, hadn't as of yet developed any feelings for him, at least not that he knew of. At any rate, if they were going to dinner, he should find something to where. Phasing out, he reappeared on Wolf Pack Island, in his room. Going to his closet, he grabbed a black suit, and phased back to Lane's apartment. Changing, he waited for Lane to emerge.
At about 5:30, Xelloss heard the door to her bedroom open. Looking up, his mouth dropped open. Lane had walked out in a midnight blue Chinese style dress, with slits up each side. Her hair was up in a bun, and she had beautiful earrings on, as well as two of the Demonsblood talisman on. Xelloss' eyes widened when he saw the bracelets. So she did still have them. "You look gorgeous, Lane. And to what to do I owe the pleasure of being graced with your presence?"
Lane blushed. "Shall we go?"
"I think so." Xelloss answered, offering his arm. Lane took it, and, walking past the counter, grabbed her black bag. Then, turning towards the door, they walked out, and she locked her apartment. Walking down the stairs, they reached the front and walked out to her car. Sliding into the driver's seat, Lane placed the keys on the ignition and drove downtown.
