[Cheesy Nonsense]
-In the Lobby of the motel-
Filia stared blankly into space as she waited for Zelgadis to check them all out of the motel. She couldn't believe what had happened last night, and was trying her best to forget about it. But it was impossible. The memory was strangely only a blur to her, as if it had been a week ago. But it was last night, when she admitted defeat. Admitted her feelings. All to one person. Xellos.
-Last night in Filia's bedroom-
"Oh course it is!" Filia said loudly in reply to Xellos, who had asked her if him leaving her forever was really what she wanted. "I.. Think..."
"You think?" Xellos was enjoying himself has Filia tried to figure out her emotions. But he couldn't blame her, he too had been confused about his feelings, and still was. But he accepted them.
"Filia, what are you hiding?" He said, unable to wipe the smirk off his face.
"I'm not hiding anything!" She protested. She wasn't sure what Xellos was up to, but she wouldn't tell him anything. 'Not that I have anything to tell.' She thought to herself quickly. But soon enough, curiosity got the better of her. "Xellos..." she beggan, looking him strait in the eye, "Can... Can Mazoku r-read minds?" She blushed. 'What a stupid question! He will probably think I am so weird... Huh?! Why would I care what he thinks??'
Xellos stared at her for a couple seconds before replying, "Interesting question Filia! I would love to say we could, but sadly we cannot read others minds. But I have heard that there is a spell you can learn to see people's every thoughts at will!" Then, seeing her shocked face, he said quickly, "Oh don't worry Fi-chan, I haven't learned that spell. There is a rumor that it was a spell of the Ancient Dragons, who sealed it away from Mazoku's touch, fearing them to make bad use out of it. Anyhow," he said, regaining his cheerfulness, "Mazoku cannot read minds, but they can sense emotions... Which sometimes can tell alot more." He walked closer to her, and brushed her face with his hand.
Filia gasped as he ran his fingers through her hair. He knew how she was feeling... But what was she feeling? Could he possibly know more about her than she did?? Before she could react to his actions, Xellos leaned his head over to hers, his cool forehead touching her now perspiring one. "Filia," He said, his eyes staring fixed into hers, which were only inches away, "What would you do if I said I loved you?"
She stared at him, unable to speak. Her body was frozen where she stood, and even if she wanted to, she couldn't move. Her heart had a melting feeling, and the thought of him possibly loving her, but what did it mean? Her dragon's mind couldn't put it together.
"Filia, what would you do if I loved you?" He repeated, but worded it slightly different. This little difference made it seem to Filia that he actually did love her. She wanted to gasp, but her mouth was dry, and speechless. Seeing that Filia wasn't going to talk, Xellos decided not to wait for an answer, and put his arms around her waist. "I love you, Fi-chan." And without another word, his mouth pressed over hers, in a passionate, yet soft kiss.
-Back at the motel-
The next thing Filia could remember, was her crying, and telling him that she loved him too. She had kissed him back. But that wasn't all, she remembered being naked in front of the Mazoku, but her thoughts wouldn't go further. She refused to think about that. Right now, she had to ask herself, did she really love him? Did he really love her?
"Come one Filia, its time for breakfast! Lets GO!" Lina pounded her fist on the table where Filia sat, and stared at her. "Filia, you okay? You look...." Filia's tear stained face glanced at Lina, and then turned away. "I'm.. Fine. I'm fine." She said getting up, and following Amelia, Zelgadis and Goury out the door.
"So, how was everyone's night?" Lina grinned evilly at Amelia and Zelgadis. "You two enjoy eachothers company, or what?" Zelgadis blushed, but pretended not to be embarrassed from Lina's comment. "Nothing. What happened with you and Goury?"
Amelia frowned slightly. 'I wonder what Miss Lina and the others would do if they found out that I was in love with Mister Zelgadis...'She figured it was for the best, and walked a little closer beside Zel.
"Oh nothing that you are predicting." Said Lina, with a bored expression on her face. "Just a normal night. Anyway, let's get some FOOD!!!" She starting running at full speed down the path, Goury right behind her.
"I guess we better go follow them.." Said Amelia in a worried voice as she saw Lina and Goury rush into the nearest restaurant, and heard something that sounded like tables and chairs being broken in their excitement.
The others nodded, and they set off to follow the sorceress and swordsman into the restaurant.
-Back on the road-
"Ahh..." Lina patted her stomach as they left the restaurant and the now angry waitress, who they could still hear screaming at them not to ever come back. "That hit the spot!"
"Yupp!" Agreed Goury, who was walking a little behind Lina. "So are we all going home?"
"You bet! We've spent enough time here in this place." She said shaking her head, "And this was all because Xellos was teasing Filia again."
"Teasing?!" Filia's tail popped out of her skirt. "That namagomi destroyed... DESTROYED MY SHOP!!!" She had forgotten until now what the mazoku had done, and was furious. If Xellos meant what he said about loving her, than why would he do that???
"Oh don't be so angry, Filia!" Xellos materialized behind the Golden Dragon, and smirked (as always). "What you saw wasn't -real- Fi-chan! It was just an illusion to get you mad! Did I mention that you look wonderful when you have a high temper? And not to forget that wonderful view of you when you lift up your skirt to retrieve mace-sama!" Xellos' closed eyes were at their happiest expression. He was enjoying himself greatly, seeing the Golden Dragon's eyes become flames.
"WHAAAT?!" Filia got ready to get her mace, but remembered what Xellos said, and stopped. "First of all Xellos, I am happy to hear that it wasn't real what I saw. But you shouldn't be tricking me anyway! If you meant what you said, you wouldn't try and cause me pain! And haven't you already seen enough, you namagomi!!! Don't think I am going to forget what happened!" Filia's hand twitched as she clutched them. She wanted to smash that mazoku's face into the ground. His little smiling face wont stand a chance!
The others stared from the Mazoku to the Ryuuzoku with clueless faces.
"What did Xellos say that he meant? What do you mean he has 'seen enough'? And what happened?!" Lina was rubbing her head as she yelled at the two who (well atleast Filia was) were glaring at eachother.
"Filia," began Xellos, putting his grin back into place, "I never lie to anyone, but I am not going to say I told the full truth either." He shook a gloved finger at her, "But if what you said to me too was true, that I will most certainly tell you if what I said was true!" He smiled, and then added, "Oh, and no one can see enough, Filia." He grinned and dodged a swing from Filia's mace, which she retrieved while Xellos was talking.
"What I said was..." Filia paused. Did she tell the truth, when she said she loved him? Did she say that just because he told her that he loved her, or did she really feel that way towards her? 'If I really do love him, and I tell him, what if he says he lied, and he didn't really love me? But... Xellos says he doesn't lie... But says who? He could just be lying about him lying!' Filia was in a fit of emotions when Lina rolled her eyes and gave a big sigh, "This is so boring, and I am getting hungry again! Filia just hurry it up!
Filia nodded, and decided on what she felt was true. At the moment anyway.
"Xellos, what I said last night, was true." She looked down, avoiding everyone's glance.
"Last night? Were Mister Xellos and Miss Filia together last night?" Amelia thought outloud as she stared at the two.
"Well then," Said Xellos smirking, "I will tell you, that what I said last night was also true. But, don't you think Lina and the others should know?" He grinned and opened his left eye slightly.
"What?! No! Xellos! Don't you dare!" Filia aimed her mace-sama threateningly at his nose. "No one must know! Do you realize that I am a total disgrace to the Ryuuzoku race?! I am subtly 'bond' to a Mazoku!" She fell on her knees and sobbed.
Xellos disappeared and re-appeared kneeling beside her. "Lets say we talk this over, eh' Fi-chan?" He smiled, as if nothing was wrong with Filia, scooped her up in his arms, and disappeared.
"What...IN THE WORLD JUST HAPPENED?!!!" Lina stared at the spot where the two had been, and felt like fainting.
"I'm not catching onto this either." Said Zelgadis, who had been watching into the back.
Amelia however was beside herself. "Ooooh! How romantic! I think Miss Filia and Mister Xellos might actually love eachother!!"
Lina and Zelgadis looked at eachother, trying their best to ignore Amelia who was prancing around with hearts in her eyes.
