Shi-chan: Here goes chapter four! I've discovered a LOT of people like this fanfiction! Yay! ^.^
Xelloss: I think if you'll quit TOYING WITH MY EMOTIONS it'd be okay.
Shi-chan: But I thought you didn't have any emotions. . .?
Xelloss: And that's the worst part of it! You're managing to do so though I've not got any to toy with! Fruitcake!
Lina: Stop taking my lines!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lina-chan gets off of my lap and sits mere centimeters away from me on the bench. She's staring straight at me with those blood red eyes and I can tell she's really hurt.
I struggle for a moment, trying to figure out what to say. I truly don't know what to do. It's quite obvious that the female sorceress is capable of reading people--which is a skill I assume came with her maturity- -and if I lie, she'll be upset. But. . . should I tell her the truth, she'll be upset. If I tell her the truth, I could get this all over with, and then this nightmare would end.
Again, that aching takes over my heart and I'm swallowed in unfamiliar feelings. It's all sorrow and pity and confusion and anger and hate and yet. . . out of all those bad feelings. . . I also feel a strange sense of security. I believe this is called love. Taking Lina's hands into my own and opening my mouth to give her a reply, a voice suddenly rings out of the sky. "Xelloss! Get here, NOW!" I sigh, and tell her, "I'm being summoned. Gomen nasai, but this shall have to wait a bit. I'll see you later, ne?"
I am suddenly transported elsewhere be my master's power, but not to her lair. We are in. . . Hawaii? I look around to observe my surroundings more closely, and discover that I am indeed in Hawaii, and Zelas is lying drunk next to the pool, sunbathing, with a very angry look on her face. She pulls her sunglasses down and glares at me. "WHY DO YOU HAVE HER WITH YOU, XELLOSS?!" My mistress screams at me. I realize at that second that I never did let go of Lina-chan's hands, and now she stands here next to me, gawking.
"Ano, gomen nasai, master! I had her hands in mine when you teleported me, so it transferred her here as well. . ." Before I could finish what I was saying Zelas had come inches from my face. "This would not have happened had you carried out your mission, Xelloss! You are my top general priest, and I expect the best from you! And you've dared to bring this girl to me as a human!" She takes out a bottle of beer and begins to consume it. "And Shirei told me what you did to her when she reminded you of your duty, *as I told her to*." I wince and let go of Lina's hands, because I can feel her trembling, and I see Zelas trembling angrily.
"Wha-what is your mission, Xelloss? Was it to turn me into a mazoku? Is that why she's angry that I'm *still* human? Is that why you pretended you were in love with me? Is that why you messed with my emotions?!" Lina's face is growing red and I don't know if it is from anger or embarrassment. Either way, she begins to shed tears, and I feel unfamiliar guilt consume me. Still wondering as to why all these feelings are growing inside of me, a top mazoku general priest, I walk closer to the red haired woman and reply, "No! It's not like that Lina. . ." I open my eyes to show my sincerity, which is also new to me.
However, before I can say anything else, Lina's hand shoots out from her side and hits me right across the face. "How dare you, Xelloss! I, unlike you, HAVE feelings! And you hurt them! That's low even for a heartless mazoku like you! And I've got no intention of becoming anything like you, Xelloss Metallium!" She screams at me, and I feel my face flush hot. I'm feeling even more sorrow now.
"Female sorceress, you're wrong to think he's got no emotions, and he's lived thinking the same thing, but he does have feelings." Zelas suddenly pipes up. She has a saddened look on her face, and she looks just as pained as we do. "But master--" I try to protest against her saying such a thing, for she is surely drunk, but her voice cuts mine off.
"You do have feelings, Xelloss! Why do you think you cannot carry out the mission I gave you? Why do you think you're having such difficulty?! I gave you emotions long ago thinking perhaps you could be the one to take me away from the loneliness of being an unknown mazoku lord! Then, after I asked you to become a traveling companion in their little clique, I noticed how close you and the sorceress came. I watched how she acted around you, heard every thought that went through her mind, and saw every sideways glance you didn't catch that she threw. I saw it coming, but I didn't think you'd ever reciprocate her feelings for you. . . But you did. . . And so I wanted her killed! But, no. I know you too well, and already knew that you'd take on your very death than be the one to kill her. So, I reasoned. You could turn her into an unfeeling mazoku, allowing her never to think of you in such a way again, so you could still have a chance to love me, but you couldn't even carry that out! I was so dense to give you emotions in the first place!"
All words of my master, Zelas, just now. Of course, she'd never dare shed tears, and especially not in front I, so she's only got a look on her face that is a cross between anger and sadness. Lina-chan and I are nothing short of shocked.
(PLEASE READ THIS: Sorry if this chapter is kind of OOC, but I've only seen the first season of Slayers, and I watch Slayers NEXT on I-Channel, so I haven't seen the whole series yet; to tell you the truth, I was surprised when I got so many compliments on this story and I'm just guessing the basis of Zelas' personality and Xelloss' being as a mazoku.)

Shi-chan: Like I said, I'm real sorry if anything's OOC or something. . .!
Xelloss: Wow, you're a truly heartless person to continue this positively cruel fanfiction, you know that, Shi-chan?
Shi-chan: Hai! Domo arigato, Xelloss-chama! (Chama=chan+sama [me and some friends made that up... Cute, ne?])
Xelloss: Baka...
Shi-chan: Nani?
Xelloss: Sore was himitsu desu!
Lina: Yay! I can finally say it! FRUITCAKE!
