^ Thank you.
Author's Notes: I'm running out of ideas. @.@ not enough to go around. Oh, and Gaav, Valgaav, and Phibrizzo are alive because I'm the author and I said so! This isn't following any timeline. Yay! ^o^ I put plenty of Xelloss in here! Thankies to all of you that reviewed my previous chapters! I got 11 for chappie 2! Waii!! ~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
Xelloss smirked to himself. Yes. A babysitter would be good. He began to run through his list of people, which was rather...short. The other servants were out of the question. Which left...the Lina-tachi. He really didn't want to leave a helpless Dark Lord with Miss Inverse or any of her friends. He looked up when he heard Zelas-sama squeal with delight. The wolf pack had found her and she was petting one of the pups. And getting slobbered all over. He ran through his options with convincing Lina to watch Lord Beastmaster and not harm her. He could bribe Lina with an incredible amount of money, could tell her that Luna said to, could make it look like Lord Beastmaster was a waif and somehow the only survivor of an otherwise decimated village.
Xelloss was yanked out of his thoughts once again when he felt a sharp tug on his cape. He knelt down to face his Lord.
"What can I do for you, Zelas-sama?"
"Joo."
Xelloss actually blinked. Joo? What is joo? He stood up, slightly confused. Then it hit him. "Of course!" he said, hitting one fist in the palm of his other hand. "You want juice!"
"Joo,"came the affirmative reply.
He summoned a cup of grape juice, complete with the sippy top, and handed it to Zelas-sama. "There ya go," he said. She took the cup and began to drink, succeeding in dribbling some of the juice onto her spotless white dress. Now, back to the problem at hand. Hmm...telling Lina that Luna said to would require his visiting the Ceipheed Knight, Dark Lord in tow. Not a good idea. The waif thing probably wouldn't work, either; Lina is not well known for her charity. That meant he had to bribe her, which wouldn't be too hard.
~`~`~` ::Mini scene change! Yatta!::
Xelloss picked up his Lord, and with the flick of a finger the stains on her dress were gone. He then located the Lina-tachi via the Astral Plane, and teleported out.
He materialized on the roof of the restaurant they were eating at. Next to him, Grau teleported in.
"What brings you out here, Xelloss?" The man asked, seating himself on the roof.
"I'm going to have Miss Inverse watch Lord Beastmaster for me," Xelloss said, sitting as well. He put the baby on his lap.
Grau sweatdropped. "Lina Inverse babysitting a Dark Lord? How do you plan on convincing her?" he asked
A bag of gold coins and various other treasures appeared in Xelloss' free hand. "Gold. Lots of gold," he smiled.
Grau laughed, "This I gotta see."
"Tickets are...free," Xelloss smiled as the Lina-tachi left the restaurant.
~`~`~`
"Ahh...that was good," Lina sighed, patting her stomach. How she could eat so much and not gain an ounce remains a mystery, even to this day. She had eaten her regular amount, about twenty courses. Gourry was satisfied as well. "Now for dessert!" She said happily.
"But Miss Lina," Amelia chirped, her normal chipper self, "we don't have any money left; you and Mr. Gourry spent it all on lunch." Lina sweatdropped. "Don't you have your crest from Sailuun on you?" She asked Amelia, turning toward the younger girl with her Look of Death. "N-no," Amelia stammered, "Daddy wouldn't let me take it this time because we spent too much last time."
"Well then," Lina said, now wearing her Look of Impending Doom as she grabbed Amelia by the shoulder, "we only have one option open to us."
"What's that?" Amelia asked, now wearing a sweatdrop the size of Elmekia.
"We pimp Amelia off!" Lina said triumphantly.
It took all of Gourry and Zelgadis' strength to pry Lina off of the thoroughly frightened Amelia.
"Oh, that won't be necessary, Lina," Xelloss said, teleporting in a couple of feet from the group.
"What do you want, Xelloss?" Zelgadis spat, glaring at the Mazoku.
"Oh, nothing much," Xelloss said.
"Who's the kid?" Lina asked, eyeing the toddler Xelloss was holding.
"This? It's Lord Beastmaster," Xelloss said brightly.
"WHAT?" Lina shouted as Amelia backed away about three feet and Gourry blinked confusedly. Zelgadis eyed the baby suspiciously.
"I'm willing to pay you an incredible amount to watch her for me for a little bit," Xelloss said, addressing Lina specifically.
The ca-ching of a cash register went off in Lina's head. With starry eyes she asked, "How much?"
Xelloss pulled a bag of valuables a few times bigger than his head out of hammer space. "This much in advance," he said, "and this much afterward if Lord Beastmaster is happy and healthy when I come back to get her."
Lina took the bag from Xelloss and sifted through it. She looked up at him, her eyes starrier if that's at all possible. "There are pre-Kouma artifacts in here...those sell for A LOT of money..." she said dreamily, "Okay Xelloss, you have yourself a deal!" She said, taking the toddler from the Lesser Beast.
"One question, though," Lina said, staring pointedly at Xelloss, "How'd she get like this?"
Xelloss smiled brightly and tsked her with one finger, saying "Sore wa...himitsu desu," as he teleported out.
Very faintly, the hysterical laughing of a man could be heard.
~`~`~`~`~`
"You JERK!" Sherra yelled, swinging at Norst with Dolgoufa. He had made another suggestive comment and this time he had crossed the line and shattered her patience and self-control, which isn't too hard if you know which buttons to push. He had to work to avoid her blade, though. Dynast- sama had trained her well.
"Now, now, Sherra-chan, Lord Dynast wouldn't be very pleased if you killed me again, would he? From what I heard, you had quite a punishment last time," Norst said.
Sherra checked mid-swing. She glared at him and sheathed her sword. "If you'd be nicer to me, then I wouldn't have had to kill you!" She snapped. Norst watched her, amused, as she went over to the bed and picked up their Lord. He looked around the room. "We should have Grau cast a restoration spell in here," he said slowly. Sherra blinked twice and looked around the room. It looked like a tornado had torn through it. Both sweatdropped and made a speedy exit from the room, or what was left of it.
Sherra went to her room; there was a ward up against Norst from one night about a week ago when he wouldn't stop teasing her. Grau had put it up for her. She put Dynast on the bed and went to the vanity to braid her hair up. She could keep an eye on him through the mirror while she did her hair. He was lying on his stomach, watching her.
She smiled at him, "Norst can't come in here; we're safe from him." She hopped onto the bed and grabbed the baby. "Do you remember me?" She asked him. The toddler blinked at her. She frowned. She didn't like that he didn't remember her. She began to wonder about what she should do next. She remembered that you were supposed to talk to babies and handle them a lot. She could do that. She'd been doing it all day. She looked out a window. It was getting late. "I guess it's time for bed, huh?" She asked her Lord. He had already fallen asleep.

Yeah, I know there's only two Dark Lords here. I ran out of ideas and I didn't want to wait another week or five to post it. --; But I gave all of ya plenty of Xelloss, ne? And since DSD, Garv, and Phibby aren't in this chapter, there should be a lot of them in the next, ne? Anyway, if you have any ideas for what you want to see happen, say so in a review, or E-mail me at: sherra@northernfootholds.zzn.com Ideas would be more than appreciated. They're desperately needed. I seriously ran out. --;;;;;;;;; So, now that you've come thus far, please review it. I don't update if I don't get any reviews. So review!!
