(I AM MAKING A DOUJINSHI ON THIS FANFIC.check up on my website if you'd like to see, but they won't be up for quite some time now. For all of you who were expecting a hat love scene, prepare to be painfully disappointed.::laughs evilly::)

Xelloss felt his cheeks burn. His head spun and everything seemed to go dark. His demonic side seemed to be drastically slipping away, and all the while, Lina showered his chest with kisses, running her hands up and down his legs and underneath the fabric of his shirt.

The feeling of her hands on him was driving him crazy and he couldn't push it aside. His muscles went suddenly weak, and the two fell to their knees, kissing each other passionately. Xelloss tasted something salty, and pulled away to examine a moment. Lina was crying, and wasn't stopping. She wasn't trying to stop kissing Xelloss either. The Mazoku shook his head, his demonic side taking over only slightly once again.

"Lina, we have to get out of here," he snarled a little. "We can't do this," The demon stood and brushed himself off, feeling his head spin again. Lina moaned a little, and Xelloss had to consider, the girl was only human, and was therefore easily subdued by such magic. Of course, he himself was never swayed so much by that sort of thing, and was almost afraid at the prospect of becoming weak to ancient love magic. He shook his head as he kneeled down to Lina again, placing a hand on her breast.

"Well Lina, we simply can't have you acting like this around Gourry, now can we?" He smiled, masking the emotions he was feeling. She clawed a little at his torso, whining and whimpering, pressing herself against him and wrapping her arms about him. He hugged back but he knew this couldn't happen. He smiled, kissed her on the forehead, and pulled back a bit to gaze at her.

"You know you'd regret this, don't you?"

Lina sighed a little. She knew she would, but at the same time it felt so right. He cheeks burned, her chest raised up and down in an unsteady pace. She felt the demons hand slide about the back of her neck, giving a light squeeze.

"I wont let you hurt yourself, or get me into any trouble," he smiled at her, as she slipped unconscious into his arms. He knew Gourry and Zelgadis would be angry with him, but the alternative was even lass pleasant. He stood, firmly grasping the girl in his arms, and sauntered out of the ruins. Of course, it was relatively difficult, considering he had to juggle his own hands, staff and the girls hands to place them on the door so they could get out.

Xelloss stepped from the gigantic lower room of the ruins, seeing the sun gradually descend over the mountains. Was it that late already? It couldn't have been that long. . .

He saw Gourry leap from the rock he had perched on when his eyes settled upon an unconscious Lina. Fire burned in his blue depths, lips pulled back into a grimace of anger.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?!!" He screamed in Xelloss' ear. The Demon did little more than back away from the blonde and sigh.

"You humans! I swear, your emotions make you weak. You are always jumping to the worst conclusions you can muster when it involves someone you dislike. She began to feel sick, and she began to run a fever. I didn't want her exerting herself, so I put a sleeping spell on her and carried her out," he smiled, gazing at the seething swordsman. The chimera was quick to follow. He stared at the demon, raising his eyebrow.

"Is that all that happened?" he raised an eyebrow, his voice rather monotonous and flat. He eyed Lina's slightly disheveled clothing, and the demons un-tucked shirt, and mussed hair. Gourry and Zelagadis stared a moment, and then eyed eachother, each one of them thinking the same thing.

"YOU MONSTER!" Zelagdis yipped at the demon, raising a hand, bringing it quickly down upon the demons head. Though to the Chimeras surprise, his hand quickly struck the ground, and Xelloss stood behind him, glaring at him.

"You certainly do think so lowly of me! You honestly think I would do that? What would I get from it?" Xelloss frowned a little, but let it slowly fade into a false smile.

"You'd do it to hear her cry out in pain, beg you to stop. . .you get pleasure from the sickest things, demon,"

Xelloss only smiled, feeling his cheeks burn again. He couldn't let them see him like this. They would know what they almost did.

"I need Lina, and would rather keep on good terms with her, so I would not do such a thing. I always put business before my own pleasure, Chimera," he smiled, the word Chimera sliding spitefully from his tongue. Zelgadis winced a little, balling his fists in anger.

"Come. It's getting dark, and I believe Lina would like some rest in a bed, hmm?" he spun a little at the words, a torrent of mental images flooding his mind.

Gourry and Zelgadis glanced at each other, sharing the same feelings of frustration and anger. Gourry only felt a strange hurt in his being, and could not exactly tell why he felt that way. The two followed Xelloss, watching with suspicious eyes as they descended down the darkening road.
