Oooooo! This is gonna be short one! Sorry!!
Part 2
"Why me?" the young girl thought as she looked at the dangerous bandits that surrounded
her. She was just a young girl of 12 1/2( though "more than 3/4" if she was asked twice)
out doing an errand for her merchant father. Just driving a cart of merchandise from the port to home. But no! Fate had decided to make her a detour.
"You heard us kid!!" One of the bandits, possibly the leader growled " GET OUT THE CART!"
"No way, jerk!" she growled back "This is my daddy`s stuff! And if you think that I`m going to let you take it, then you`re DEAD wrong! And I emphysize the DEAD part!"
The bandit only chuckled at the little child`s self defence. What could a little girl do?
"Oh yeah? You and what army, brat?"
"Well I wouldn`t call myself an army..." said a male voice behind them
The bandit gang turned around to find a man in black clothing smiling humorously at them. He had a staff in his hand, with a bright red orb at the hilt. Probly worth alot. Good! A new victim!
"And what do you think *you`re* going to do?"
The Girl, in turn, stared at him quizzingly. Who was this guy?
Suddenly and amazingly the stranger jumped from the spot he standing at and landed on the cart!
The little one gave him a dirty look though. How dare he step on her dad`s cart like that?! But the bandits stepped back, a bit worried. Maybe he *could* actually fight! But they were determained not the show their fear!
"Don`t start to get all cocky, kid! Just because your brother is here!"
The girl and the stranger looked at each other and blinked.
"He`s/I`m not my/her brother" they said in unison
The bandit stared at them dumbfounded.
"But you look exactly alike!"
The stranger facefaulted.
The child sweatdroped.
"We do not!" the stranger growled
"Yes you do" the bandit leader continued " You both have the same colored hair, purple. And even have the same hair style. Now why would you have the same hair style and color if you weren`t related?"
"Now listen here!" the child cried in embarrassment, " I am definitely NOT related to a Mazoku!!"
The Bandits did a double-take in fright...and the stranger..um I mean Mazoku...well facefaulted again...
"A MAZOKU?!?!"
"Well..." the monster sighed regaining his pose "Guess the cat`s out of the bag. But you know, I can`t let you live now that you know"
His eyes that was seemingly closed at the begining opened. And his cat-like purple orbs stared the bandits down with an evil glare.
"Lunch time"
Then before the bandit leader could even blink, that very staff that his had his eyes on, severed his head from his body! Within in a few minutes, the rest of the bandit gang was also dead.....
"You know..." the little girl said, staring at the carnage that surrounded her "I...I really could have taken care of them myself" she glupped and added "less messly, anyway.."
"You probly could" he smirked, taking a seat byside her "So....how did you know I was a Mazoku, anyway?"
"Easy! Your aura. It screams "Monster"!" she then tilted her head a bit "I can`t believe they said we looked alike"
"Well that`s what happens when you stole my hair cut, I guess"
"Wait a minute! You stole mine!"
"No. I was born before you...way way before you. So it was mine before it was yours"
"Well I know you didn`t save me(very unnessicarily I may add) because we "look alike". So why, Mr Monster?"
"Well first of all my name it not "Mr Monster", it`s Xelloss."
"Ok then, *Xelloss* why?"
"Aren`t you going to tell me yours?"
She opened her mouth...but stopped. She then looked at him seriously and said "I don`t think I have to"
Xelloss smirked at her comment. She was stating the obvious, smart kid.
"You`re absolutely right....Luna Inverse."
She frowed.
"What do you want from me?"
"Oh, I don`t want anything from you. It`s my mistress that you are of insterest to"
"Then what does *she* want?"
"Hmmm...That is a secret"
She frowned again...this time in annoyance.
"Then why--"
"Don`t worry, surprisingly she doesn`t intend to hurt you, quite the contrary...she wants to make you a deal"
"What kind of deal?"
"This I honestly don`t know. Otherwise, I would say `that`s a secret` again."
"Then why does she want to make a deal with me then? You`re the first mazoku I`ve ever met"
"Oh, I wouldn`t go that far..."
"Wha..?"
"You know, my mistress told me that you might say something like that. And she told me what to say to you in return"
"And what is that?"
"She said to tell you: Wolves never cry"
Luna`s face suddenly turned white as a sheet!
"No way....."
"I see I hit a cord" Xel smirked to himself. Honestly he didn`t know what that phrase meant, but if saying it got this kid to come along with him, it really didn`t matter. After all, this was his mistress`s busness, not his.
Though he did wonder....what did she want this child for in the first place. True, she *did* seem to have a high magical aura about her. And she *did* figure out that he was a monster just by looking at him. But there was something more too it that wasn`t?
Little did Xelloss knew that he was closer to the truth than he thought. There was more to this than just Luna`s power. It had something to do with an act of courage and compassion she did one cold and dark evening that past winter.......
