Zelas's Christmas Present ^_^

Chapter 4

Zelas groaned as she creaked open an eye. She realized she was in her own room in her own cozy bed with her cozy pillows and-(Kyomi: *gets various things thrown at her* SO-RRY!) well, let's just say that she was in her room. She also noticed a figure with shoulder length hair at the side of her bed. Zelas growled and lunged at the figure, ready to choke it to death if it was whom she thought it was.
"XELLOSS, YOU STUPID DUMB-Ow.my poor head." The beastmaster fell back into her bed, rubbing her bandaged head.
"Please, Zelas-sama! Calm down. You shouldn't move so quickly," said the figure. Zelas glanced at the figure and realized that it wasn't Xelloss. It was one of her lower servants, Shayla. Shayla bowed respectfully and then smiled at her master.
"Shayla! Thank goodness! It's only you!" the Beast Master sat up and practically hugged the surprised servant. "I had such a weird dream! I dreamed some purple haired idiot became my priest AND general, and he destroyed my whole mansion. Wow, thank Ruby-eye that it was only a dream."
"Uh.Beastmaster?" Shayla stood up and looked a bit nervous.
"Yes, Shayla? ^_^" Zelas on the other hand was quite happy. She was so glad that Xelloss was just in her dream-uh, nightmare.
"That wasn't just a dream."
"O_O Say what?"
"You do have a priest/general. Xelloss-sama did blow up part of the mansion, and you were knocked out for 4 days straight. I was a bit worried. Oh, Xelloss-sama also said he was very sorry for destroying your mansion. He also said something about fixing and redecorating-Zelas-sama?" Shayla noticed the horrified look on Zelas's face.
"."
"Zelas-sama?"
"."
"Zelas-sama? Are you okay?! Zelas-sama?"
".He fixed my mansion?"
Shayla looked a bit nervous again. "Well, in a way. . Yes."
".And he redecorated?" Zelas's voice was just a little too calm for it to be a 'normal' reaction.
"^^; Uh.yeah. He said it was the least he could do for-Zelas-sama! You shouldn't get out of bed!" Zelas had jumped out of bed and ran to the door. She was about to open the door when Shayla jumped in her way, blocking the door.
"Get out of the way, Shayla!! Do you know what kind of horrible things that nitwit would do to 'redecorate' my beloved mansion?! I must stop him!!!!"
"No, master!" The servant tried to block the door from the angered Dark Lord. "^^; I really don't think you would want to look outside right now!"
"Yes, I do!!" And with that, Zelas shoved Shayla out her way and yanked the door open. She froze right there and stared. "O.O.Oh.my.god." There was only one word to describe what she saw: Purple. Purple. Everything was purple. Purple curtains, purple couches, purple vases, purple wallpaper, purple carpeting-Purple, purple purple, purple, PURPLE!!! (Kyomi: *gets things chucked at her yet again* What, you people don't like purple?)
"Ooooh, I TOLD her not to look! ." Shayla poked her head out from her master's room. "Zelas-sama? Are you gonna be okay?" She approached Zelas and tapped her shoulder.
"."
"Zelas-sama?"
"."
"Zelas-sama?" Not this again.
"."
"Zelas--"
"XELLOSS!!!" Zelas raced down the halls in search of her priest and general.
"Beast Master! I'm in the kitchen!" came Xelloss's voice. Zelas turned a corner and ran towards the kitchen. She skidded to a stop as she reached the door to the kitchen. Fuming, Zelas slammed the door open.
"XELLOSS! THERE YOU ARE! HOW DARE YOU REDEC-WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!" Zelas shrieked. Before her stood Xelloss in an apron, holding a frying pan. There was also a big mess surrounding Xelloss. There was smoke coming from the oven and toaster. There were splatters of syrup and cooking oil all over the place. The sink was over flowing with dishes, and there were things that you could call 'food' (you-could-eat it-but-we're-not-sure- you'll-live kind of food) littered all over the floor, stove, and counter. Xelloss, on the other hand, was miraculously clean and smiling.
"Oh, hello Juu-ou sama! I see you've finally woken up. ^_^" Xelloss turned to the gaping Dark Lord. "Look, I made you breakfast!" He pointed upwards where there were about 4 pancakes and scambled eggs practically GLUED to the ceiling (Zelas: *sweatdrop*).
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY KITCHEN?!!"
"Well, I just thought you'd be hungry after going without food for about 4 days. So I decided to cook you something! ^_^ The kitchen got a little dirty, though."
"A little? A LITTLE?!! YOU DESTROYED IT!! YOU DESTROYED MY KITCHEN!! FIRST MY MANSION, NOW THIS!! YOU ARE SO GOING TO BE PUNISHED FOR THIS! I AM GOING TO KILL--"
KABOOM!!!
--Went the oven! Along with all the other appliances in the kitchen, causing a very big explosion.

~*Again, miles away from WPI*~
"Oi, Bob!" Joe called to his friend. "What smells?"
"AHHH!!! It's raining poisoned gunk!!!" Bob cried, running in little circles until he got hit in the head by a piece of 'poisoned gunk'.
"Hey, is that a pancake?"

~*Back on WPI*~

The kitchen and several feet around it were burned to a crisp, and so were Zelas and Xelloss (mmm.barbecued mazoku ^_^). The kitchen was officially off limits to any mazoku named Xelloss from that day forth. Anyway, the now extra crispy Zelas was sent to her room once again to have her cuts and burns bandaged.
Zelas winced as Shayla bandaged her arm (Zelas wasn't at all in the mood to heal herself). Stupid fruitcake! Zelas thought, bitterly. Only here for 2-5 days and already causing havoc! Xelloss no Baka! I have to think of a way to get rid of him. But how? He doesn't seem willing to leave.The Beast Master was left to her thoughts after the servant had finished bandaging. Then an evil smirk spread across her face. I've got an idea.
"Juu-ou sama?" Xelloss peeked his head into his master's room.
"Hmm? Oh, Xelloss!" Zelas turned to Xelloss, just noticing him. Perfect.She smiled at Xelloss and beckoned him in.
"I'm really, really, really, really sorry ^^;"
"Oh, it's okay. I get blown up all the time," Zelas gave Xelloss a way too cheerful smile. "Do come in ^_^."
"Uh.you're not going to hurt me, are you?"
"Nope."
"Then you're just going to kill me right now, aren't you?" Xelloss backed out of the room a bit.
".No"
"Then you're going to kill me, revive me, then kill me again!"
"No!" Zelas was getting irritated.
"Then you're going to punish me by inflecting a large amount of pain onto me until I'm almost an inch away from death! Then you'll throw me into your forest so that all your hungry wolves could eat me!!"
"No, no, NO!" She glared at Xelloss who backed farther out of the room with big teary eyes.
"THEN YOU'LL--"
"I COMMAND YOU TO STOP THINKING ABOUT YOUR DEATH!!"
Xelloss zipped his mouth. Zelas sighed.
"Now, come here, Xelloss." Xelloss did so and walked to her bedside.
"So you're not going to--" He was cut off by Zelas's evil glare. "*Sweatdrop* Geez.I was just kidding."
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Now, Xelloss, I have a mission for you."

PurpleP: Another chapter done, and another kitchen gone! Xelloss: Are you saying that my cooking sucks?! Filia: NO! Of course not! Your cooking is indescribable! Xelloss: Really? Filia: Yeah! I can't think of a word to describe your horrible cooking. Zelgadiss: Yeah, let's take this moment to remember that wonderful soup you made at that doll tower. Xelloss: HEY! That cook guy cheated, I tell you! He just told me to COOK something! He didn't say it had to be GOOD.^^; And technically, it WAS food! Zelas: It kinda makes me wonder why he never failed his cooking class in highschool. Xelloss: Heh heh heh ^_^ *remembers how fun it was to threaten his old cooking teacher* PurpleP: Okay, that's all for now! I'm going to try to teach Xelloss some cooking tips! Hopefully, I'll come back alive! So until then, Ja ne!
