"Is it that piece of twine over there?"
"Nope. That's nineteen questions -- you only get one more."
Lina sighed in exasperation. This game was really stupid anyway, and she had grounds to believe that Xellos was cheating -- mainly just that he was him. "Fine then. Is it … that little twig caught in the doorway?"
"Nope!" Said Xellos, sounding rather pleased with himself.
"Aw, come on Xellos; I've named practically everything in this room -- what is it?!"
"Why your thong of course! See, it's in that pile of clothes over there, half on the floor and half on your cape."
"My … my … I DON'T WEAR A THONG!!!"
"But you do, Lina-chan! And it looked so lovely on you too."
"And what is that supposed to mean?! I … you … you looked at me while I was changing, didn't you?"
"Uh -- I didn't mean to, Lina-chan. It's just that being a monster and all, I see even when my eyes are closed, and I tried not to, but then I was … Lina-chan?" He looked at her curiously, wondering why she was suddenly so calm. He got a bad feeling in the pit of his astral stomach -- what was that saying about being in the eye of a storm?
Lina sighed. "I suppose I really should have expected this." Then she jumped up and proceeded to beat the living crap out of him.
"Oh! Lina-chan! Please don't -- hey, nobody is supposed to bend that way, mazoku or human! Oww…"
After what seemed to Xellos like an extremely unreasonable amount of time, Lina finally pulled away from his bloody and beaten form.
There was really only a certain amount of physical harm any creature could take, even if the one in question was a masochistic demon with an astral body and no actual physical form of his own.
"Ah, I feel much better now." Remarked Lina happily. "Now--" she looked down at Xellos, who was staring at her with a blissfully happy expression through a mass of bruises and a cut lip. Lina sweatdropped. "Hmm … I hope I didn't bash your head against that wall too hard … what are you staring at, fruitcake?!"
"Uhh…" replied Xellos smartly with an enormous grin.
Hmm… Lina thought, what is he-- she looked down at herself panickedly and suddenly realized that she was completely naked.
"AAAGGHHH!!!" Exclaimed Lina. "DON'T LOOK AT ME YOU STUPID HENTAI!!!!!"
Thinking fast, she pulled the old blankets up to her chest and bashed Xellos back into the wall. Xellos blinked, looking like he'd just been brought out of a trance.
"Er … something wrong, Lina-chan?" He asked with a wince.
"Grrr … what do you think is wrong?!!!" She growled. "If you ever look at me like that again, I'm gonna tear out your eyes and make you eat 'em, got it?!"
"Y-yes, Lina-chan … I'm sorry, but I really couldn't help it."
"And why not?!" She demanded.
"I think you fractured my spine. I couldn't move my head!"
"Like hell you couldn't…"
"Besides," he remarked, "at least now I know that what Gourry always says isn't really true."
"And just which of his ramblings would you be referring to?" She said lowly, eyes narrowing.
"Your ches--"
Unfortunately, Xellos was never able complete that statement as at that moment Lina picked up her pillow and attempted to ram it down the mazoku's throat.
