I've gotten some pretty good reviews. Thanks to all ^-^ And thanks for the suggestions about "Kid" n_n
I don't own slayers. If I owned slayers, there would be world peace. Fat Chance.
By The Way, I'm not a Zel/Amelia fan. Sorry "people who are"
==============================================================
Morning rushed to Zel like the wind. Time to face himself just like he always did, what he has done time and time again.
Even though sunlight shone through the window, the morning was drab, depressing, and disheartning. Zelgadiss wondered why it was so gloomy even after getting that hint that his cure was out there, that there was still some hope in his heart.
The chimera knew that his deep depression would not end in seconds just because there was a kid who knew something about his cure. But he did expect some difference, but the hope he had felt last night had abandoned him.
"Something always happens." Zel wondered. How come he always had to be a kill-joy?
He heard a thumping down the hall. "Lina" Thought Zel. Then he heard lighter footsteps and someone calling Lina. "Amelia." Zelgadiss guessed correctly. The chimera counted five seconds and he heard someone trying to catch up to the girls, calling and tumbling after them.
"Gourry." The chimera tried to smile, but found that the joke was getting repetitive. Every single morning in an inn, it was the same pattern. And after getting into his usual attire, Zelgadiss went out for breakfast.
When he got there, his party was stuffing their faces with food. Zelgadiss ordered his comfort food, coffee.
After Lina was finished eating, she explained about a new quest for a magical goodie. Zel, of course, found no need for it, knowing the familiar pattern of their adventures.
The rest of the day went without incident. The all-too familiar way things seemed to go fell into order. The same old, dreary, monotonous way of life. But the chimera waited for the evening, for "Kid" had said that they would meet again, under the starless night sky; and how cloudy it was, Zel guessed there would be no stars out that night.
After setting up camp, Zelgadiss wandered a little bit.
"Mr. Zelgadiss?" Inquired a small voice. "Where are you going?"
Amelia. Thought Zelgadiss. Do you need to annoy me so? Turning to face the princess, he told her that he was only taking a short walk and would be back within the hour. Amelia was skeptical, but decided to trust him anyways.
Alone once again, Zel waited. It would only be chance if the kid showed up again, but it never hurt to try. Long and hard he waited, but Kid never showed up.
Discouraged, the chimera hung his head and slowly walked back to camp. But he didn't get far.
"Waiting for someone?" A child's voice sounded. Zelgadiss turned to face Kid. Forcing a half-smile, Zel replied. "Oh, no one in particular, Kid." In return, Kid made a face, climbed the nearest tree and hung by his tail on the lowest branch.
"Why do you keep on calling me 'Kid'?" He asked impatiently.
The chimera crossed his arms and looked into the empty sky. "What, would you perfer me calling you son?" Zel sarcasticly countered.
"NO!" Kid yelled, and Zelgadiss heard the wind rush. Before he could think he was on his back fingering the red mark upon his cheek that burned because he had been slapped. Zel stood up, slightly angry.
Facing the very angry looking kid, the chimera wondered how fast Kid had to have moved in order that Zel could not see him. "Don't EVER call me son again! You are not my father, and nobody is my father! You can call me Xi-lei, and nothing else!" Kid said, know known to Zelgadiss as Xi-lei.
Xi-lei climbed a different tree and away from Zel's gaze. Although, Zelgadiss repositioned himself to see Xi-lei's silhouette. And to the chimera's dismay, the unhuman-like boy was crying silent sobs.
Not knowing how to handle emotional situations like this, Zelgadiss looked down and shuffled his feet. "I'm leaving now, Xi-lei." But mid-sentince, the wind picked up, and Xi-lei was gone.
