Title: New Life (part three) "Dreams Become Reality"
By: Korax
Rating: still PG-13
Warning: Horrible OOC-ness, cussing and shounen-ai. You don't like that
kind of stuff, then don't read it. No skin off my back. Also AU.
Disclaimer: I do not own Slayers, no matter how much I wish I did. All I
own is a broken CD player, a somewhat ok computer, and a black dog who
likes to annoy the neighbors. I'm a silly girl and not worth the trouble of
a lawsuit.
Pairing: Xel/Zel, well duh!
Post: At Silk N Stone and DarkRoses, everyone else ask.
Author's note: Look, I'm back again! After what 4-5 years??
Xel: You weren't gone that long!
Zel: Yes she was! And she was a lazy ass too. Honestly almost totally ignoring this fic.
Xel: Oh! I knew you liked the fic! *glomp's a surprised Zel*
Zel: ACK! Do not! Get off!!
Xel: Kissy kissy!!
Zel: ARGH!
Anyway, this part is dedicated to ShoSen because it will always be dedicated to ShoSen! And she's waited sooo long for it, too! ^_^ And to Xellina, because threatening is quiet effective. ^^
"Dreams Become Reality"
His classes so far had been nothing special except for the incident that morning in Chemistry. His Computer's teacher had seemed to like Zel and he actually had good feelings about that class. His American Lit teacher was another problem; she was a tall woman with a definite air of superiority. She strode over to him and squinted at Zel as if he were some strange specimen under a microscope.
"What do you want then?" she said glaring down at Zel.
"I'm the new student," Zel said simply handing over his schedule to be checked.
The teacher looked over it carefully. Without looking up she pointed to a desk in the corner of the room. "Take that seat for now, you will see me after class for your assignments. Rachel, move your things so Mr. Greyweirs may take his seat." She handed Zel back his schedule and returned to the front of the room.
Zel walked to the desk that a light-brown haired girl was clearing for him and sat down. He rested his chin on his hand and sighed. Honestly, he thought his gaze following the teacher about the room as she lectured, but hearing nothing of what she was saying, AP and Honors classes, what am I gonna do? Someone poked him in the shoulder. "What?" He said out loud, snapping at the person who'd touched him.
The brown haired girl from before jumped back a little. "Nothing, Ms. Carrie said to give this to you," she said handing over a copy of The Crucible.
"Oh," he said taking the book.
The girl gave him an amused smirk and started packing her things away. "Period's over, you know. Teacher's kinda put out that you dazed for the whole period." She finished loading her things and stood up. "Nice meeting you I guess, see you tomorrow." She gave a small wave and hurried out of the room.
Zel stood and collected his assignments from a very put out English teacher.
He had slept through his Japanese class, which was pretty empty of students, but the teacher was a little old lady who seemed good-natured enough. He wondered again why he was in this class but then dismissed it as simply another plan of Rezo's to drive him totally insane.
*****
Lunch period had turned out to be rather interesting spectacle though.
"Lina! Please you don't have to do this," Zel hissed through his teeth as the arm of a very persistant Lina Inverse dragged him along.
"Oh come on Zel, you're new and you don't have any other friends here. You should try to socialize, you know." Lina pulled harder as Zel attempted to ground his feet into the floor. "Stop making such a fuss you!"
Zel turned and glare that could sour milk. "I. Do. Not. Fuss!" he hissed again.
Lina huffed and tried harder. "Come on would you! People are starting to stare!"
Zel's eyes popped open and stared around wildly at the curious faces surrounding them. While he was distracted Lina managed to resume dragging him along.
"Geez, what a shy guy. You'll like these people. They're my friends so they'll like you too." She smiled happily to herself as the grumbling boy finally consented to her wishes.
Lina happily pulled him to an area of the food court where a group of students all ate around one large table. Zel instantly recognized Amelia, who waved at him happily. He awkwardly returned it and looked at the remaining faces, who all looked up at him curiously.
"Yaaho! Hi everyone, I want you all to meet Zel. He's new so I told him he could join our group if he wanted," she said beaming as everyone at the table gave him a quick once over.
"Like I really had a choi-- OW!" he grabbed his side where Lina and rammed him in the gut with her elbow. "You . . ."
Lina grinned. "Zel these are my friends. This is Gourry," Zel looked at the extremely tall longhaired blonde in a football jersey, "next to him is Amelia," he nodded, "then Sylphiel," she was in a polo-shirt and a pleaded skirt, she giggled and waved, Zel raised his eyebrow. Lina continued, "That's Filia and Val," a blonde haired girl in a pink sweater and long skirt and a guy with strange spiky green hair wearing baggy pants and a ripped shirt nodded at him, "and this is Xelloss." Zel's eye flew to the purple-haired boy from first period and glared.
"It's nice to see you again Zelgadis-san," Xelloss grinned. Zel huffed and looked away.
Lina blinked. "Oh you two know each other?"
Xelloss smiled at Lina as she sat down next to him, Zel reluctantly took a seat next to Lina and started to eat the lunch that he had bought earlier. "Oh we met this morning. We're to be lab partners for Chemistry."
Zel turned and glared. "Says who!?"
Xelloss smiled at him. "Say's Dr. Gold's seating arrangement."
"I'll ask to be moved. I don't want to sit next to you." Zel's glare intensified.
Xelloss looked hurt. "How mean Zelgadis-san! What have I ever done to you to deserve such treatment?"
"Oh shove it Xelloss," Lina said between mouthfuls over a giant sub sandwich. Zel vaguely wondered how she was capable of fitting the thing into her mouth.
"Lina-san hidoii! Xelloss whined. Zel gritted his teeth.
The blonde haired girl, Zel vaguely remembered her being called Filia turned and glared at Xelloss. "Well I don't blame him for not wanting to be paired with that monstrosity. Who in their right mind would ever wish to willingly be around that?" she said pointed and a now smirking Xelloss. Zel thought the look made him look a bit evil.
"Mou, I'm not that bad Filia-san," Xelloss said quietly. But Filia continued as if she hadn't heard him at all.
"Really Lina, why do you keep that thing around. We might catch something from it," she said giving transferring the glare for Xelloss to Lina and back.
"Filia, even if I told him to, he wouldn't leave. Plus he's useful! I wouldn't be passing math if it weren't for him!" Zel noticed the others around the table snicker slightly into their food. They all acted as if this happened everyday. Zel raised an inquiring eyebrow and turned back to the heated conversation.
"I still say that you shouldn't let him near you anymore. Who knows what he'll do," Filia said finally turning away. Xelloss grinned at Zel, who glared in return.
Lina turned to Xelloss with an exasperated look. "You know you don't have to look so proud of yourself, Xelloss."
Xelloss turned to her with a shocked expression. "Me? I would never! Just because Filia is an un-imaginative air-head with no wi-"
Lina waved her hands frantically as Filia turned and glared daggers to Xelloss. "No! No more! I don't want you to start another fight today. The last one was large enough." Both Xelloss and Filia looked away from each other in disgust. Lina sighed and smiled at Zel in an apologetic way. "Sorry about that. They're always like this. You'll get used to it." Zel glared scornfully at Lina, who had the sense to look sheepish.
Zel didn't bother to listen to any of the other conversations after that, set on eating his meal in peace. Though he did feel Xelloss eyes on him all through the period.
As soon as the lunch bell rang Zel stood and headed off to Calculus without a backwards glance. He was grateful to get away from those people. Honestly they all ate like pigs! He felt eyes on the back of him again. Stopping and fixing his face with the best glare he was capable of, he turned to Xelloss.
"What do you want?'"
Xelloss stopped and regarded Zel, grin still on his face. "Nothing, I am simply heading to class."
Zel sighed, "Fine, but leave me alone." He turned to continue walking.
"I'm afraid I cannot do that Zelgadis-san." It was quietly spoken. "You are far too important to be left alone, I will not allow it."
Zel stopped and whirled around. "What did you say?"
Xelloss' expression was unreadable, "I said that you are far too important to be left alone Zelgadis-san. I won't loose you again. Nor the others."
Zel growled and dragged Xelloss by his collar into the nearest boy's restroom. Thankfully the room was empty. He threw his bag to the floor then slammed the purple-haired boy to the nearest wall.
"Damn it, I don't know what it is about you but you're fucking pissing me off. What the hell is with you? And what do you mean 'loose me'?" he hissed into Xelloss face.
"Ahh . . . honestly Zel-kun. You truly do never change. L-sama, thank you for small favors!" he smiled up towards the ceiling. Zel growled.
"What the hell are you talking about? Have you lost you're mind or did you not hear me?" he said through his teeth.
As if suddenly realizing that he was pinned to the wall by Zel's fist he looked down at Zelgadis with a slight wonderment. Suddenly he grinned and looked straight into Zel's face. "Sore wa . . . himitsu desu!!" He said with an almost comical grin.
"ARGH!" Zel screamed as he slammed Xelloss against the wall again, knocking the breath from Xelloss limp figure. "You bastard, what the fuck is that supposed to mean?"
Xelloss form started to shake, and with a horrified realization Zel discovered that Xelloss was laughing. Suddenly Xelloss looked up and grinned evilly.
Before Zel could blink he found himself forcefully slammed up against the wall with Xelloss' full form pressed against his, faces almost touching. Focusing his eyes on Xelloss face he stared into a pair of slit purple eyes gazing malevolently at him. Those eyes! He thought Where have I seen those eyes!? He tried to move his arms to get away, but his wrists were in a vise like grip on either side of his head. Zel was afraid, Xelloss didn't look like he was strong, but the power that was pinning him to the wall was crushing him. He tried to scream but nothing would come out.
Xelloss smiled at him, taking in his features as Zel stood in fearful shock. "I missed you . . ." he said watching in amusement as Zel's eye grew wide. Quickly he closed the distance and claimed a possessive kiss from Zel's lips. Zel was too shocked to move.
Xelloss quickly moved away and picked up his backpack, which had fallen to the floor earlier. He turned back to Zel. "See you in class Zel-kun!" With that he left the bathroom.
Zel stood against the wall stock-still. Slowly, inch-by-inch, he slid down and clutched his knees to his chest, violently shaking. That was how Gourry found in 15 minutes later.
AN: Er. . . . look! Plot isn't it spiffy! ^^ There is a reason why only Xelloss speaks Japanese. But I'll get to that in later chapters. Anyway, there is the next part. Please review. And if any of you would wish to draw me pictures, they would be most graciously appreciated!
Xel: Hooray! I got to kiss Zel-chan! Hooray!
Zel: *glares daggers at Kor*
^^;;;; Anyway, please review!
