Chapter 19 Get Down To Night!

Her fingers aginst the keybord macking a small tapping sound that was overcome by the chatter of her class. She pushed up her glasses as they slide down the rim of her nose again. She gave a littel sigh as she found it harder and harder to hear her-sekf think of the talking of the class. Kanzel, the teacher, hadn't arrived yet.

She had Long black hair. Sometimes she tossed it over her shoulder to keep it from drapping of her shoulder. She had brown eyes, but she had green contacts but hardly wore them seeing as they were always falling out and justa nusiance. She wasn't to tall for her age. She found her self looking up to talk to most people. Her name was Sukia, she was a grade 12 student.

"Everyone settel down," said Kanzel as he walked into the class," Get to work now. You know what your assimgments are. Thank you Sukia for starting, all off you should take this example next time!" Her cheeks turned a littel red as everyone stared at her.

A littel while into calss the chair next to her was pulled out and down sat a black haired girl. She smiled when Sukia turned to her.

"You don't mind if I sit here. The two guys I sit beside are acting really wired," she said," Oh by the way my name is Amelia what's yours?"

"Sukia."

After class Amelia meet up with Lina and Slypheil at the lockers. But this time she was pulling along Sukia, who had no objections.

"Hey Miss Lina!" Shouted Amelia as she ran up to the redhead.

"Hi Amelia.... who's that?"

"Oh this is Sukia. Sukia meet Miss Lina and Miss Slypheil!"

"Hey!"

"Hello Miss Sukia nice to meet you."

"Thank you," she said very quietly.

"Shy aren't you," asked Lian as she leanded agianst her locker and put her hands behind her head.

"No, just not talkative...."

"I see.... Hey Suk, it's ok if I call you that, You wanna come to the dance to night with us?" Sukia paused for a minute. Then nodded, She was about to say something then A head popped right over her shoulder that made her jump.

"Oh Mr Xellos, you shouls stop doing that you might really scare someone," said Slypheil looking at littel concerned. The purpel haired man smiled.

"Well there were the fun in it if ya don't scare them! So who's this?

"This is Sukia, Xel. Sukia this is Xellos Metaillium, it's better not to talk to him and it will make your life alot easier."

"Hey that was low Lina!"

"You are low Xellos." Before their argument could continue any longer the rest of the gang showed up except for Martina and Slypheil had to leave becasue she had a doctor'a apoitement( what I couldn' think of a better excuse!). Amelia went througth intorducing everyone to Sukia by the time they were finished they bell rang. It was a half day today. "So Suk! I'll see you tonight at the dance?" asked Lina as she passed her in the hall.

"Yeah, I'll be there!"

***

The gym was decorated with pumkins and Halloween decor all over the walls. Black and organ ribon hung from the celling. The Dj had the music on full blast. There was fog and storbe lights. The gym was pitch black and the only light that flodded in was the open gym doors. On the bleachers at the side wall were Filia, Xellos, Lina and Sukia. The others were off dancing and Zelgadis was perched on the top blacher over looking the whole gym.

"Cool dance don't you think?"asked Lina breaking the scilene, well between them anyways. Filia nodded.

"I've been to better," commented Xellos.

"Typical," retorted Filia.

"And what's the supposed to mean?"

"Nothing , nangomi!"

"Really , I bet you can't even dance, Lizar lips!"

"I can so!" Lina rolled her eyes.

"Then prove it!"

"Fine I will," snapped Filia as she grabbed Xellos's arm and dragged him onto the floor just as the slow song started.

I'll be your dream I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy I'll be your hope I'll be your love Be everything that you need

Everyone returned back to the bleachers. Sukia sat right next down to Lina. Lina nudged her in the side.

"Hhhhhmmmmmm?"

"So You gonna ask him?"

"Who?"

"Zelgadis," before she said anything Lina ran right over her with words," It's not like it's not obvious. Well all know you like him! So are you gonna ask him?" Sukia turned three shades of red. For the dance she had put her green contacts in. "Well If you don't I will for you!" Said Lina as she bondded up the bleachers. Sukia yelled after her but she was to far away to her here yell. Lina smikred as she reched the last blacher.

I love you more with every breath Truly, madly, deeply do I will be strong I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on A new beginning A reason for living A deeper meaning

"What?"said Zel as he moved hie eyes up to look into Lina's he didn't even have to ask, becuase he knew Lina was up to something." You know sometimes your as bad as Xellos." Before Zel could say anything else Lina had him by the shirt and was dragging down the bleachers. He gagged for air as Lina tossed him down on the floor and he stumbled back several steps before stading up properly." What is the meaning of this!"

"Dance!" Lina barked as she tossed Sukia after Zel. She also stummbled and regained her posture. She didn't even make eye contact with Zel he just sighed.

"Well we better do what she says or she'll go all phsyco on us," said Zel pulling Sukia after him futher into the crowed so no one woul stare at them.

I want to stand with you on a mountain I want to bathe with in the sea I want to lay like this forever Until the sky falls down on me And when the stars are shining Brightly in the velvet sky,

Xellos turned his head slightly as he saw Zel passing by with Sukia, and he smiled. He had his arms on Filia's hips and she had her arms around his neck. She was blushing a littel bit.

"See I told you I can dance," she hissed at him. Xellos looked down at her and humphed.

"I 've danced with better," was he response. Filia gouged her heel into his foot as the continued to dance. She relaxed a bit more. She was felling really weird.

"What's the matter with me, I feel really hot," Filia thought to her-self." It's just Xellos....... Oh stop that Filia! He's your enemy! That littel annoying snot of a mazoku, you can't love him! Hey were did that come form?" Filia fought with her self mentally until she felt a tight squess. "What was that for?"

"What the matter Fi-chan, you looked a littel ill."

"I'm fine, nangomi, and stop calling me that!"

"Why," he said pulling her closer taking in a low dangorous voice. He pulled her closer up so the he could whisper in her ear," I'm actaully enjoying this." Filia became very red and she felt even more hot, almost so much so that she coudln't breath. He lowered his hand until it reached her behind unitl he gave it a littel squesse. Fillia jolted , and she sacked Xellos very hard. His kness buckled a little bit and he was cringing also he looked a littel blue.

"What's the matter Xellos?" Filia said in a littel baby voice," Don't tell me Xellos is hurt."

"Nothing like that," Xellos maged to say through his strained smile.

I'll make a wish to send it to heaven Then make you want to cry The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty That we are surrounded by the comfort and protection of the highest powers In lonely hours

Zelgadis and Sukia were in the far corne of the gym.

"So....... What do you like to do," asked Zel trying to make conversation as they dance.

"Well I like to read Fantasy novels, and I am the co-captain of the tennis team. you?"

"Er..... wel I do like reading myster books, and I like history and geographie. I've always wanted to travel. To see othe places, know what they know."

"I see," Sukai let her tougne slip," Why do you look like this?" She bit eher tounge as she realized it wasn't the smartest thing to say. Zel snorted as though he were amused.

"Let's say it was a littel accident. I'm sorry if it frightens you."

"No, no not at all. Actually I think it's kind of cute.....," she said blushing even more. Zel sweatdroped and thanked her not really knowing what to make of the compliment.

The tears devour you I want to stand with you on a mountain I want to bathe with you in the sea I want to lay like this forever Untill the sky falls down on me Oh can you see it baby?

"They make a cute couple don't they," said Lina as she watched Zel and Xellos dance with Sukia and Filia.

"Yes they do," agreed Slypheil. Amelia just humphed.

"Ohhhhhh, I see Amelia's jellous," said Lina slyly as she nudged Amelia in the side.

"I am not!"

"Are so, then why aren't you your normal self?"

"I don't know what your talking about!" Gourry who seemed to be listening to the conversation half way spoke up.

"Hey Amelia why don't you ask Zel to dance?" Amelia just twidell her fingers. Gourry shruged. "Hey Lina want to dance?" Lina blushed then gulped. Her throat suddenly became very dry, so she couldn't get any words out. So she just nodded. They pair of them walked off, leaving the two girls alone to wallow in sorrow.

"What is a pair of young girls doing all alone," said a voice from the right that startled them both. They both turned to see Valgrav standing there his fist jammed into his pockest and with his usual smug look on. Amlie gumbbled something anf stormed off.

"I'm getting something to drink!" they both sweatdropped.



You don't have to close your eyes 'cause it's standing right before you All that you need will surely come I'll be your dream

"Soooooo........ Xellos what are you up to lately?"

"Sore Wa Himit Desu!" said Xellos winking at her. She rolled her eyes then sighed.

"Pretty long song....."

"Good." Filia turned really red and she knew Xellos would notice so she laied he head on his chest so he wouldn't notice. It startled her only for a seconde but then she realized that mazoku don't have hearts so of course she wouldn't hear it beat. Filia sighed, so it sounding as if she was really happy.

He smiled and rested his cheek on her head. Xellos could feel Filia blush she was so embarassed, he actually chuckled because he thought it was sort of amusing.

"Filia?"

"Yes."

"Will you..... dance with me again?" Filia's heart skipped a beat and she nodded almost right after. She didn't know why she didn't think twice before answering, she actaully felt happy that she hadn't.



I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy I'll be your hope I'll be your love Be everything that you need I love you more with every breath Truly, madly, deeply do I want to stand with you on a mountain

Lina's dancing in the middel of the gym she had put her self there so she could see Filia and Xellos, Sukia and Zelgadis and Slyphiel and Valgrav.... Slypheil and Valgrav?! Lina blinked two more times then focused her eyes to see if her eyes were playing tricks on them, but they weren't fo sure enough in the front of the gym was the two of them. When they turned around Lina stood on her tip toes to peer at Slyhpeil, a wolfish smile appeard on her face then Gourry stood on he toe before she could say anything else. This resluted in Lina slipping face first into Gourry.

"Oh sorry Lina..." Lina laughed and gave Gourry a littel shove then gave him a death glare.

"Next time you do that you'll see a dragon slave right in your face!" Gourry wimpered but shook his head vigorously. After a littel while Lina and Gourry left to get something to drink. As they past Val and Slypheil Lina nudge her in the back. Slypheil gave a start then saw Lina but didn't say anything she just kept her head on Valgrav's shoulder. Val lifted up his eyebrow then just shrugged it off.

I want to bath with in the sea I want to lay like this forever Untill the sky falls down on me

The song finished and they all returnd to the bleachers. No one may have noticed but Valgrav was holding Slypheil's hand and Lina was leaning on Gourry's shoulder. Amelia had already returned , she semmed to cool down a littel bit but her drink started to buble as soon as she saw Sukia and Zel.

"Thanks for the dance," Sukia whispered as thet went back to dance. Zel just shurugged not really being in clue what she was saying( sad isn't it). The rest of the night wnet well eveyone dance with one another, like Val and Amelia, Xellos and Lina, Filia and Zel, Sukia and Gourry and once Lina and Amelia danced the tango just to goof off.

At the end of the dance the only two people to walk home were Filia and Sukia.

"So do you really like Xellos?"

"No."

"Sure...."

"What's that supposed to mean!"

"It's kind of noticible, especailly the way you two were dancing, you were hanging off of him!" Filia blushed then pulled Sukia by the shirt and whispered in her ear.

"Just betwenn you and me, I like Xellos, but I alos like Val....... but more like a brother than anything," she finished. Putting her hands behind her back.

"Isn't that incests?" Filia mouth opend and her eyes widen." Ooops," said Sukia as she ran as Filia chased after her.

"Get back here!"

"You'll have to catch me first!" she shouted back as they passed the corner. That night everyone went to sleep a littel easyier then they used to ( with the exception of Zel ^_^'' Poor Zel). Well you could say this was the start of something that might not be to expected.
