Chapter Three: Xellos goes to College!

Disclaimer: I don't own any Slayers characters. However, Lynn and I (Arafel, that is) are ourselves, so you can't steal us. Please?

I know that self insertion isn't the best topic in the world to do a fic on. But oh well, I'm not forcing anyone to read it. This is more of a fun chapter, not nearly as emotional as the last one. Enjoy!

***********************************************************************

Even though it had been a long day (already), I was determined to make it to class. After all, college doesn't learn itself, you know. As I went around my room, gathering up my books and stuff, Zel just watched my quietly.

"Okay, so, if anyone besides me or Lynn comes down, you hide back there." I pointed to behind the furnace, which was my only roommate besides the cat. He didn't answer; he only continued to watch me unobtrusively.

"I'll be going to class now... Don't you get in to any trouble while I'm gone!" I exclaimed, zipping up the backpack I had been stuffing my books in to.

When Zel didn't answer me, I left the room and headed up the stairs. Only a few short moments after I left, Xellos appeared in the doorway.

"Wouldn't it be terribly tragic if your dear Arafel got in to a car accident?" He asked in an annoying voice. "You really should go with her or something."

With that, Xellos was gone.

I had been driving along, minding my own business, greatly troubled by the events that had occurred this morning.

"Are you having a nice time?" Xellos asked, appearing on my windshield, making a face my pulling his cheeks to stretch out his face and sticking out his tongue.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK~!" I shrieked, swerving off the road, thankfully, not in to a sign. When the car had come to a complete and total stop, Xellos hopped off the hood of the car and got in the passengers seat.

"So, where are we going, Amelia-chan?" He asked, buckling his seatbelt. For a moment, I wondered how he had managed to fit his staff in the car, but I quickly shook the thought aside.

"Get out, bakemono." I scowled, glaring at him.

"You're so delightful to be around in this life. You never would have called me such a tasty name before." He grinned and turned on the radio. Incidentally, the music that started blaring was a tape of Slayers music that I had recorded off of my CD's.

I glared at him again, but I knew I couldn't make him go away by force. SO I put the car in "drive" and started down the road again. As I drove, Xellos picked up my backpack and started going through the contents.

"What sort of things do you leave the house for, I wonder?" He asked rhetorically, pulling out my Psychology book.

"Hey!" I exclaimed, reaching for my backpack. A horn blared, and I sheepishly grabbed the steering wheel, straitening out the car again.

"School books?" He asked as he rummaged. "Is that all that's in here?"

I growled out something that sounded like "It should be." in an acrimonious manner.

*******************20 almost-car-accidents later...********************

I had arrived at college in once piece, despite Xellos's attempts to prevent that. He had been fairly agreeable about giving my backpack back, but insisted on following me to class.

People stared as I walked by fuming, with the gleeful Xellos on my heels.

"Ne, Amelia-chan—" He began to say, but he was interrupted by someone walking out of a doorway, bumping in to him. The girl dropped her books and quickly stooped to pick them up. Xellos got a disgusted look on his face and quickly disappeared.

"What in..." The girl stared where Xellos had been standing.

"Sorry 'bout that." I helped her pick up her books. "And thanks for getting rid of him."

"What was that?" She asked in horror.

"A mazoku. Don't worry about it, 'kay? You'll just get a headache." I gave her the books back, and walked down the hall. "Bye."

The girl stared as I left. After a few long moments, she growled "Namagomi..."
