Author's Corner!!
Shi-chan: Kon'nichi wa minna-chan... again ^^ You guys must really like this fanfiction because you *still* want me to continue! LOL...
Lina: I, for one, would be happy if it ended quite abruptly.
Shi-chan: It always makes me feel bad to discontinue a story or end it so easily though!
Lina: I DON'T CARE! THIS IS TORTURE!!
Shi-chan: *walks over to Lina and places an odd necklace on her neck* Osuwari, shoujo. (See Inuyasha if you don't get this joke)
Lina: *splat*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Zelas looks like she might explode, and I begin to fear that she might take her anger out on Lina-chan. My first thought on instinct is to jump in front of Lina, and I do so immediately. Once I realize what I've done, I open my eyes in shock and place my gloved hand over my mouth. Zelas is right...! I really *am* in love with Lina! I look up shakily at her, unknowing as to what I should do. She raises her hand angrily, a fiery ball appearing. My eyes grow wide in fright. My master is aiming that ball right at the human sorceress!
The ball is growing abnormally large, obviously as a result of her subconscious need to destroy the girl once and for all. I run and jump on the side of Lina which she aims for, just in time to take the hit on myself. As a mazoku, I'm sure I can endure this pain that would surely have finished Lina off easily.
As I fall to the ground, bleeding and in excruciating pain, both Lina and Zelas gasp, acknowledging what happened. "Xelloss-chan... Daijobu?!" Lina demands, tears streaming down her face. She shakes me, and I try to reply to her calls, but I'm too weak to do so. She begins to cry harder than I've ever seen her do anything before. Could it really be possible for her to harbor such feelings for me? That she would be so upset over *me*?
The female sorceress trails my wound with her fingers, gently caressing the burnt, blood-soaked flesh. Much to my surprise, her touch seems to make much of the pain go away, and I feel a lot better.
"You... you did this to him! If you like Xelloss so much, who's always been so loyal to you, why would you hurt him like this?! You're way more powerful than him!" Lina screamed at Zelas, holding her hand up so she could see the blood that had been spilling from my wound. Zelas backs up a bit. "H-how dare you...! Do you wish to challenge me, mortal?!" She demands. Lina glares daggers at the Beastmaster, and wipes some crystalline tears from her puffy face. "You bet that was a challenge!"
I can do nothing but watch the pair duke it out as I lie on the ground, struggling to keep the majority of my blood within my body. This isn't where I want my life to end... I want to die with Lina at my side, not crying, but happy... Happy that we were able to live together like a normal couple should.
"Lina... Master..." I struggle to speak, but all I can manage to say is blocked out by the piercing screams of Lina and my master's spells. Surprisingly enough however, because of the extreme anger of each of them, their powers seem matched. The battle could either go on forever, or one of them could slip up, and be killed.
Lying on the floor, I remember Lina's touch on my wound, and the loving looks she'd given me, and all the kisses we had shared. It was my last attempt to regain life. Luckily, it worked.
I stand up and run in between the two woman. "Stop it," I yell. "Please... This is enough! You're equal because you're both so upset... I don't want either of you to die..." I trail off an open my eyes, letting them know that I'm dead serious. Lina automatically lets the Flare Arrow in her hand die down, but Zelas hollers in return. "Don't you dare tell your master what to do! I'm completing the task you could not accomplish, Xelloss!" Hesitating a moment, I finally decide to do what's best, and stand in front of Lina. "You can't kill her, master. I... love her."
Zelas steps back a bit, her eyebrows furrowed together. I can't tell if it's in confusion or anger, but either way, she disappears with a sad glare on her face. I breathe a sigh of relief, and suddenly feel a pair of slender arms embracing my waist from behind. "Xelloss... Domo arigato Kami- sama..." Lina muttered. I look up into the Hawaiian sky and whisper, "Can I stay with you tonight?" I sense that Lina has nodded, so I take her hands in my own, and she does a Ray Wing spell to fly us to her apartment in Atlas City.
When we get there, I marvel at the nice atmosphere of the place as Lina-chan dresses my wound. Unable to think of anything better to say, I decide to strike up an idiotic conversation as we used to do when we traveled together. "So, did you notice that there were no people in Hawaii?" I asked, chuckling a little. Lina nodded silently, but said nothing, and continued to pour peroxide on me. "L-lina?" I ask, wincing a little from the pain and pondering as to if she's alright.
She looks up, and she's got tears in her eyes... again. "Daijobu?" I ask, putting my hands on her shoulders. She closes her eyes and allows herself begin crying unbelievably. "What are we going to do...?! Zelas said you love me, but she's upset and wants to kill me, and she's capable of doing it! I don't want you to get hurt again...! Plus, she's your master! You've got to obey her, and I don't want to risk losing you again..." She trails off, dropping the alcohol on the floor. I get off of the sofa and wrap my arms around her. "I..." Swallowing, I continue, "I don't know we're going to do... But I won't let anything happen to you. I promise."
