AN: Wow ... it's been, what, three weeks since I've updated this? A month? ^^; Sorry 'bout that ... lately I've been more interested in reading fanfiction than writing it. Plus, somehow I ended up writing this out by hand first and I'm extremely lazy so it took me quite some time to start writing it up. As for the shortness of my chapters ... well, I'm getting near the end now so the scene changes are happening more frequently. If it's any comfort, I'm working on something else right now that's actually gonna be serious for a change and I can promise that when I finally decide to start posting it the chapter are gonna be nice and long. Oh, and thankyou so much for all those nice reviews that you gave me! I know this took incredibly long, but believe it or not it would have been a lot longer if I hadn't got those. Well, I think I've babbled long enough...
EVE--"…" O_O "That's … surprising. I wonder how that -- oh, I should look away. Really … oh, hang on." *Takes out a big plastic remote control* "Rewind."
5 minutes earlier…
"…So I says to him, I'm the Beautiful Sorcery Genius Lina Inverse! --And then Naga says -- and get this -- 'well, she's'--"
"Er … Lina-chan, how often do you drink?" Xellos interrupted.
"What?" She replied, sending a glare in his general direction. "Oh … well, not much … not since the incident!" Lina broke down into a fit of giggles.
Xellos stared at her for a moment looking mildly amused but gave his head a little shake and started looking for the bag that the liquor balls had come in.
He took a look at the list of ingredients. "Let's see … cocoa powder, sugar, mil -- ah, here we are. Percentage of alchohol is…" Xellos opened his eyes. "Oh, my … wasn't that illegal or something?"
Lina giggled some more. "You know … you should open your eyes more often."
"Oh?"
"Yeah … I mean, most of the time you just seem like a total fruitcake but when you open your eyes … I'm always just like, 'whoa -- when did he get so hot?!'"
"E-excuse me?"
"I mean don't get me wrong, Gourry's great … but he's not … I dunno. He's just not that exciting an' all, if ya know what I means … I wanna man who can get my blood rushing." Lina started laughing again.
"Are you … okay?"
Lina smirked. "I could be a lot better…"
"You're drunk."
"So you 'ren't gonna take advantage of me or what?"
"Uhhh…"
"I'll make it easier for you…" she pressed her lips against his in a searing kiss.
Xellos' last thought before his brain stopped working was, she's going to have a really awful hangover tomorrow morning…
Back to the present.
EVE--"Oh, so that's what -- wow, where'd she learn that?! -- Happened. Oh, I should really, really look away now -- shouldn't Lina be passing out or something by now?! Damn magically increased tolerance for alcohol…"
PHIBRIZO--"So what was the big -- HOLY $@!#!!!"
EVE--"Phibby!!! Wha-what are you doing here?!"
PHIBRIZO--"My eyes…"
EVE--*growls*"What the hell do you think you're doing? I-I specifically told you not to come here!"
PHIBRIZO--"And now I know why. Hentai!!"
EVE--"I am n … well, I am -- but that's besides the point. I mean, how was I supposed to know they'd be doing … that?"
PHIBRIZO--"Well you sure seemed pretty anxious to come here, didn't you?"
EVE--"What?! I … it wasn't that! I mean … Lina was drunk; I was worried that she might've decided to turn Xellos into sushi or something like that. But I never thought they would do … this."
PHIBRIZO--"You wrote it!"
EVE--"Shut up. Come on, let's go back and check on Zel; I don't want him to get away yet."
PHIBRIZO--"I can't believe how loud they are … why do you like her?!"
EVE--"Aw come on, she's drunk … he's taking advantage of her!"
PHIBRIZO--*shudders*"Who would want to? And that Xellos ... what a freak. I never did like him..."
EVE--"Hey, he's your minion."
PHIBRIZO--"As if! He belongs to Zelas-sama and you know it. My priest and/or general would have never done anything so … so … ugh…"
EVE--"Oh, you're so naïve. You--"
Lina shifted in the bed so that she was directly facing them.
PHIBRIZO--"…"
EVE--"Ew, stop staring! Now who's the hentaii?!"
PHIBRIZO--"As if I'd want to look at -- uh…"
EVE--"Well you stop it?! You're getting blood all over the floor … oh, for … who's stupid idea was it for the anime guys to get nosebleeds every time they see a girl's--"
PHIBRIZO--"AAARRRGGHH!! Can we just go? Please?"
EVE--"Are you sure…"
PHIBRIZO--"YES!!!"
EVE--"Alright, come on … let's leave those two alone."
PHIBRIZO--*shudders*
